"The psychology of socalled crime va^es needs no explanation and where there are examples of disrespect for law and flouting of the law by those in high authority, a low morale among law enforcing'officers and a spread of lawlessness In general are the natural consequences. “Jf it were recognized I hat there existed u plain intent on the part of officials in high authority to enforce every latv with equal justice against i'll offenders, regardless of their social po“itions. and political influ ence, the widespread violation, offi ■ ial corruption, and individual de moralization. whifch the president re cently declared are rending the moral fiber of the nation, would not and could not exist. “Until recent years such conditions as these were unheard of because, under our system of party govern ment, political parties properly func tioned In watching and exposing the shortcomings of each other, but to day politics has become synonymous with political intrigues, conspiracies and spoils, until no party recently In offlcb can or will dare to evpose the other.

R; tMMlttnl l're»*. Lincoln. Aug. 19. — Rebuilding of Nebraska's labor law is a necessity and steps to that end will he taken at the coming convention of the Nr braskS, Federation of Labor, to be held here beginning September o. ac cording to officials of the federation. The session will last until all of the business uf the convention has been taken care of, which probably wilt be three or four days, it was an nounced. Among the needs to be discussed is that of a legal provision for arbi tration between employer and em ployed, the labor men said. The re cent arbitration provision of certain stave laws was t-pealed along with a number of other sections of laws when the legislature passed a blanket repealing act. although it was not in tended to discard this feature of the legal tools of the state. This ha.<* left the state without legal means of providing for settle ment of-disputes between employer and employed; and this situation Is i, p* remedied by legislative action, if the labor men can agree upon a suitable bill and have it enacted by the next session of the legislature. The labor men do not favor the party circle *on ballots used In gen eral elections, and will seek to have a new arrangement of the ballots, it is believed. Officers to be chosen for the ensu ing year include president, four vice presidents, secretary treasurer. and three members of the legislative coun cil. These will be chosen at the end of the session, according to the plans. Another question to corns before the convention will l>e the divorcing of the state workmen's compensate • division from the state departul*i of labor. The labor men favor i’ < divorce. Entertainment to I,* provided for the * isitors and delegates from over! the state Includes a trip to the Ne braska State fair, and .probably aj picnic or basket dinner. ....

President Cool idgs has taken over the reins of gov ernment and titular leadership of the republican party without a percepti ble ripple on the political seas. Party leaders predfcted today developments will be extren in the fights for the pres' inattons.

This conclusion is borne out by the decisions of prospective candidates wtthin the past few days not to take any steps nor say a word that might be interpreted In the public mand as making them avowed candidates. C'oolidge Bides Time. President Coolidge himself has seen the folly of going out after the nomi- | nation at this stage. He has given j positive orders to his friends and po- i lltieal managers not to say or do any- j thing that would appear to ^ldlcate that he is a candidate for the nomi- I nation. There is plenty of time for that, he has told those around, hint. Mr. Coolidge’s attitudg is that bis first job is to make good. Ills plan of strategy is to concentrate bis full attention and all his energies of the problems of government that confront bis administration.
