A Proclamation!
By the Governor of the State of Nebraska
In view of the unusual economic conditions in Nebraska due to the low
price of agricultural products which is causing a large number of mortgages to
be foreclosed on farms, homes and personal property. I recently appointed a
state board of conciliation that will, in my judgment, be able to satisfactorily
settle all disputes between debtor- and creditor.
While the board is completing its statewide organization that will take
but a few days and pending the enactment by the legislature of an effective
mortgage respite or mora‘orium act.
I, Charles W. Bryan, Governor of Nebraska, do hereby proclaim that an
emergency exists, and I call upou all owners and holders of mortgages on Ne
braska farms and homes to suspend all foreclosures and forced sales and to
withhold all court proceedings of every nature until the Board of Conciliation
completes Its organization and until the legislature and congress can act.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF. I have hereunto set my hand and caused the
Governor’s seal to be affixed,
i SEAL)
Done at Lincoln, Nebraska, this thir
teenth day of February,in the year of
our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Thir
ty-three.
(Signed) CHARLES W. BRYAN,
Governor.
Hope for the Farmers!
During the last few days, developments ai Lincoln have again aroused
hope In the breasts of the Nebraska farmers
The forces of reaction that for twenty years have triumphed there re
ceived a temporary setback in the proclamation of Governor Bryan, the cre
ation of the board of conciliation, and the action of the Nebraska house of
representatives in approving the moratorium and anti-deficiency judgment
hills.
This is no more special privilege legislation than is the bill already passed
by the legislature, signed by the governor and now in effect which permits the
banks to reopen and transact business after being closed by the department of
trade and commerce. These institutions can work out of their difficulties if
given a chance. So can the honest, industrious fanner if given equal oppor
tunity with the banker, the railruad and the land bank. And these have been
given special loans to tide them over.
Now it is time to extend hope and encouragement to farmer and home
owner.

George Washington
One heroic figure in our national
hall of fame, whose memory tran
scends all partisanship and sectional
ism. is that of George Washington. It
will be many years before any other
American soldier or statesman becomes
such a figure of national honor. In
deed, we doubt whether, even after
the lapse of ages, our nation will ever
have produced another character
commanding such universal respect
and esteem.
Yet Washington In his lifetime was
the target for abuse and vilification
such as few presidents since his day
have had to bear. A British traveler
and author, writing in 1795, told how
many men refused to drink to the
President's health at the celebration
of his birthday. When Washington re
tired to private life at the end of his
second term as President, one of the
foremost of the newspapers then in
existence declared that it was time
for public rejoicing, “for the man who
is the source of all the misfortunes of
our country is this day reduced to a
level with his fellow' citizens and is
no longer possessed of a power to mul
tiply evils upon the United States . . .
if ever a nation was deceived by a man
the American nation has been deceiv
ed by Washington.”
Very few' men in high place escape
such calumny. There is something in
human nature which resents the idea
that one man is superior to others.
But it did not take the American peo
ple long to realize that in George
Washington they had had a leader
who was probably the only man that
could have successfully led the revolt
against British domination and estab
lished our nation on an independent
basis so sound that -the foundations
laid by him have never been shaken.
The wisdom of Washington's warn
ings and admonitions to the young re
public of which he was the first pres
ident become more and more clearly
apparent as time goes on. Particularly
at this time we are impressed with
lus warning to the young nation to
avoid entangling alliances with Eu
rope. That was not intended, of course,
ns an admonition to detach America
from the rest of the world: it was
rather an admonition that we should
maintain friendly relations with all
nations and not beallied with some
in opposition to others. We think this
an opportune time to remind our po
litical leaders and the people of Amer
ica again of Washington’s warning
against foreign entanglements.
Sidelights
When Ed Peacack. negro head por
ter of the National Life and Accident
Insurance Co, of Nashville, died a
few days ago, a delegation of high of
ficials of the company accompanied
the body to Columbia and attended
the funeral. President Willis paid a
public tribute to the faithful employee,
who had been with the National Life
more than 30 years. This again illus
trates that a deservmg Negro is not
without honor in the South.
Among the recent evidences of re
sourcefulness displayed by country ed
itors is this one. related of a Minne
sota weekly. Accompanying a news
item to the effect that bustles are
coming back, the editor reminds his
tail- readers that "old papers are for
sale at this office at 10 cents per
bundle."

Remarkable is a record made by the
Methodist Hospital of Memphis, where
1.483 babies were born during a per
iod of more than 26 months, without
the death of a single mother. Writing
of the matter, Supt. Hedden states
that the attending doctors were not
especially trained In most cases, but
I Mint among the 116 different ones who
contributed to this record a large
number were just "old-fashioned fam
ily physicians"
Another baseball pioneer, who in
1870 first conceived and practiced the
art of sliding by a base runner, died
recently- In Newark at the age of 80.
He was Judge William 8 Gummers,
who had been chief justice of the
New Jersey supreme court. In his
college days he was a noted outfielder,
"the greatest center fielder in Prince
ton history "
The news magazine, Time, tells us
that the custom of saying, “God bless
you," after someone sneezes is suppos
ed to have originated with Pope Greg
ory during a pestilence In which
sneezing was a threatening symptom
Many savage tribes believe sneezing is
caused by the presence of evil spirits
An odd advertisement appearing in
a Seattle newspaper read: “Neighbors
hostile; will trade silver comet for re
volver, automatic pistol or shotgun."
Perhaps If the gentleman gets rid of
his comet the neighbors will abate
their hostility, even without his resort
ing U firearms.
Members of congress may in speech
es charge their fellowmen with every
sort of misconduct without legal re
sponsibility. Not so newspapers. When
certain radical senators charged F. E
Bonner, then secretary of the Federal
Power Commission, with being partial
to the power Interests some three years
ago, the Hearst newspapers took up
and elaborated on the idea. Recently
Bonner was given a verdict for $50,000
damages against the Boston Ax.icrican
and cases against 13 other Hearst
newspapers are yet to be tried

New College Course
The washing machines are going to
college. But in this case the regular
procedure has been reversed. It Is the
Institution that is doing the studying.
When the University of Nebraska ends
its observations next June it expects
to have new information of much val
ue to housewives,
American washing machine manu
facturers are represented by a full ar
ray of washers which home econom
ic experts of the university and Mc
Call s magazine are using in a series
of tests. Each washer maker today
knows from factory tests how the
housewife can get maximum benefits
from his machines. The Nebraska
study is expected to produce a num
ber of special discoveries for the bene
fit of the housewives in general.
Disused space in a University build
ing was fitted up at small cost as a
home clothes washing room, to show
the ease with which any housewife
can equip her home. Each washing
done by the investigators is for a fam
ily of two adults and three children.
It is practical work like this that
makes our educational institutions
of greatest benefit to the greatest
number. Manufacturers, educators and
editors cannot be endorsed too strong
ly for this cooperation in further
lightr 'ing women's household efforts.
Milhons of homes have washers and
the i niverslty's study will aid all of
them.
Flirting With Death
It is an amazing fact that the ap
palling number of deaths which result
from sheer carelessness make no
greater impression upon the average
person. This is especially true with re
spect to the drivers of automobiles.
Persons who are ordinarily careful
in protecting their health and proper
ty often throw discretion to the winds !
the moment they grasp the wheel of a
motor car, and flirt with death thru
failure to observe the most elementary
principles of safety.
They will take a chance at a grade
crossing, speed while rounding a blind
curve, pass other cars under danger
ous conditions, and do other foolish
things which menace life and limb- -
seemingly oblivious of the fact that
one slight mistake of judgment may
prove fatal to them or to those who
happen to be passengers In their cars.
The jaywalker is equally reckless,
taking the chances of being run down
for the sake of saving a few steps or
a moment of time. In fact, many pe
destrians are even more careless than
the average motorist.
Safety education has been the means
of reducing accidents to some extent,
but the lamentable fact remains that
no amount of warning has any appre
ciable effect upon the majority of
people.
The result is that 30,000 or more
persons are killed and about 750,000
are injured in the United States every
year, while at least 90 per cent of these
casualties might be averted by the use
of ordinary common sense.
How “Ml” Gets By
By John Joseph Gaines, M.D.
Bill lives In my town,—In yours too.
If the Bills in this land were organ
ized, they would make a formidable
political party.
There are some fifteen doctors in
my town. When Bill moved here he
enquired around for the most popu
lar doctor and retained him as his
family physician—as long as the doc
tor would do his work without pay,
which was over two years.—The doc
tor became too insistent about his pay
to suit BUI
Then, our hero sought the formi
dable competitor of the leading doc
tor—and recited the two years of
robbery" that he had endured The
ambitious competitor swallowed the
hook, line and sinker! He treated
Bill's infirmities as long as he could
afford to without remuneration; some
competitors are that way.
Then Bill sought the doctor that
lived farthest away from his neigh
hood, who had never heard of the ex
perience of his contemporaries with
the new patron. He grabbed Bill with
open arms. Out of this doctor. Bill
got a couple of tonsillectomies, two
obstetrical sgrvlces and several bedside
influenza cases, before the doctor
awakened to the real situation.
Every physician that ever touched
Bill came away with a waterhaul!
At last Bill moves to another town,
full of invective for the last place of
abode. It was a hick town, with the
meanest people in it in the world!
Those of my readers who are ac
quainted with Bill know that he can
tell you just how the United States
Senate ought to perform! It will take
a long time to educate some folks to
the point of getting above the tactics of
Bill—the fellow that public opinion
alone can remove from our midst.

Barter Here Again
All over the country people are learn
ing how to live without money. Tha.
is the way our primitive ancestors
lived, by barter. It is, of course, the
direct ard simplest way of doing bus- j
iness, but ils handicap is that it does j
not provide any way of storing up
values or of making change.
I
If every man who had services or
goods to sell could always find some- ;
one who world always make an even j
trade with him. giving such goods or ,
labor as he required in exchange lor j
his own. we never would need any i
money. But it is difficult for the i
man who wants to dispose of a day’s
work for a pair of boots to find the!
precise person who wants that work
at that time, or who is willing to swap j
groceries for boots. Time—that is la-,
bor—is a perishable commodity. If it!
isn't used now it never can be used.
The value of money cons sts in its
power to enable the worker who ran
dispose of his labor for cash to store
up that day's work against the time
when he needs to spend it for other
commodities.
To get around this difficulty com
munity after community has adopted
one form or another of temporary
money called "scrip." We have read
of a dozen or so different kinds of
scrip, but they all work on the same
principle. The man who does a day’s
work receives what is, in effect, a ■
promissory note, which the giver agrees
to redeem tn such commodities as he
deals tn, no matter who presents it.
If enough merchants and manufac
turers can be brought together in a
scrip plan of this kind, scrip is just
as good money as if it were issued
by the government, so far as local use
is concerned.
We understand there is a movement
on foot to nationalize this scrip-barter
plcn. We don't see any reason why
it shouldn’t work, provided that all
the scrip issued was based on actual
values, in services performed or com
modities delivered The main trouble
would be in determining the value be
hind each unit of scrip. The early
Virginia colonists used paper money
based on tobacco, but they found a
good many planters working off infer -
ior grades of tobacco, and they had
plenty of trouble with their currency
for a good many years
As a temporary relief measure, how
ever. the scrip barter plan seems to
us to have decided merit.
