" Honor Pioneer
Member of Bar
C. S. Montgomery Completes
50 Years Service—Early
Days of City Recalled
at Lunhceon.
When C. S. Montgomery began the
practice of law here on April 10, 1879,
there were only two blocks of pave
ment and Farnain street extended to
Twentieth street.
The Omaha Bar association hon
ored Mr. Montgomery yesterday noon
at luncheon in the Brandels restau
rant, where David Fitch, head of the
organization, presided and the guest
of honor offered Interesting reminis
cences of his experiences here more
than 40 years ago. Mr. Montgomery
stated that yesterday marked the
completion of 50 yers of law practice,
starting at Lincoln. He intends to
go to California with Mrs. Montgom
ery for the winter.
“When 1 started in the law busi
ness in Lincoln at the age of 22, I was
so boyish in appearance that I expe
rienced difficulty in making people be
lieve I was a lawyer,” Mr. Alontgom
ery said. "After a year a id a half
in Lincoln I was married and within
a few years my responsibilities were
increased by the arrival of two sons.
During my last year in Lincoln, mv
income was $1,100. G. W. Holdrege
gave me transportation to Omaha,
Where I established myself in the of
fice of the late Judge Goff. Our office
was at the southwest corner of Four
teenth and Dodge streets, then only
one block from the Federal building."
Mr. Montgomery referred to the
splendid influence of the late Judge
J'l. Wakeley, whose office was across
the hall. During 1891 M. A. Hall be
came associated with Mr. Montgom
ery, the recent firm name being Afont
gomery, Hall A Young. The partner
ship of Montgomery and Hall is said
<o have been the longest in the legal
profession in Omaha.
"In the early days.’j Mr. Montgom
ery- told his triends of the bar asso
ciatlon, "it was difficult for a young
lawyer to obtain a start. I recall sev
eral men who worked In our office
for a small consideration at first.
"To be a reputable member of the
bar of the United States Is to hold a
position of distinction. Today it means
something to be a lawyer, particularly
at this time, when there Is need of
improvement In the matter of respect
for law."
Mr. Montgomery added that when
he arrived In Omaha John L. Webster
and W. J. Connell, although compara
tively young men, had already es
tablished themselves as lawyers of
ability.

I Chart Showing Upward Trend of Crop Prices and Business
—Courtesy of Peters Trust Company.
The above chart show* In striking
relief the present business situation
and the changes that have taken
place recently. The chart of corn
and wheat prices shows that for the
first time in a decade the price of
corn is as high as the price of wheat,
and that the price of corn has steadily
advanced and Is well above the pre
war years of 1917 to 1919.
The gasoline chart shows that gaso
line consumption is at last larger
than production and that surplus
stocks are now sharply diminishing.
The charts on steel production and
car loadings call attention to the sur
prising volume of business in spite
«f widespread pessimism.
The chart of mail order sales meas
ures the steady growth that is now
taking place in the purchasing pow
er of the farming sections, and the
steady diminishing of commercial
failures attests the real strength of
the present business situation.

Who do«*s hlii b«it no more c*n do.
And to himself is ev«r true.
—Old Man Buzzard.
Old Man Billiard Does His Bent.
Old Man Buzzard spread his broad
wings and flew out from his favorite
tali dead tree in the Green Forest. Old
Mr. Buzzard was angry. He had been
teased so much by his neighbors of
ths Green Forest and his pride in
his wonderful flying ability had been
so hurt that he had made up his
mind that he would show those who
had made fun of him what real fly
ing was.
When ho was high enough he began
to spring around in great circles go
ing higher and higher. Almost at
once the man bird, which was the
cause of all his trouble and which you
and I know was an aeroplane, began
to climb higher and higher. You see,
the man in the aeroplane had seen Old
Mr. Buzard start out from the Green
Forest and he thought it would he
fun to show that a man made mu
chine could fly better than the best
flyer among the birds. So as Old
Mr. Buzzard moved higher and
higher up In the blue, blue sky so
did the man bird.
Round and round In circles, high
er and higher and higher sailed Old
Mr. Buzzard and the man bird, while
all the .little people 111 the Green For
est and on the Green Meadows sat
with their heads tipped back watch
ing. Up. up, up went Old Mr. Buz
zard until to those on the ground he
was hardly visible, their heads tipped
back watching. Up, up, up went the
aeroplane, hut because It was much
bigger It ddt not look to lie as high
as Old Man Buzzard.
“1 declare, I believe Old Mr. Buz
zard really is going to make his boast
good and fly higher than that man
bird can,” Sammy Jay said.
"Walt. Just wait," cautioned
Blacky the Crow. "I have an Idea
that that man bird is Just as high as
Old Mr. Buzzard right now, only it
is so much bigger that it doesn't
look to be so high. Just wait."
Of course they all waited. There
was nothing else to do. By this
time they could hardly see Old Mr.,
Buzzard, but the man bird still look
ed big.
Old Mr. Buzzard went higher than
he had ever been In all hie life be
fore. But it was of no use. That
man bird soon wns Just as high and
sailing in big circles around him.
Still Mr. Buzzard kept on. He
wouldn't give in until he had to. Then
that hateful mnn bird begun to climb
faster and faster. In a moment or
two it was above Old Mr. Buzzard,
and kept right on going up nnd up
and up. Soon It was as far above
Old Mr. Buzzard as Old Mr. Buzzard

was above the Green Forest. Old
Mr. Buzzard knew then that this man
bird could fly faster and higher than
he could ever hope to fly.
By this time the little people,
watching the twa fliers, knew too.
That great man bird was growing
smaller and smaller. Now it was no
logger than Old Mr. Buzzard when
he had started out from his tree.
Now it was only half as big. Now
it was hard to tell which was which.
t
III a moment or two hr was abore
Old Mr. Ituzzard.
Now there was only one speck high
up in tho blue, blue sky; the other
had disappeared. The little watch

It was hard to believe, but one of
those fliers had gone ao high that It
could no longer lie soon. Which one

Aaron Sapiro, organizer and head
of several enterprises in cooperative
marketing among farmers, reiterated
in his address before the public af
fairs committee of the Omaha Cham
her of Commerce yesterday noon his
criticism of farm leadership in Ne
braska.
•'Our state laws are especially use
less to protect the farmer In his mar

talned that present farm organiza

much for financial protection of the
farmer.
Mr. Sapiro implied that farmers

with a different type of organization.
The greater part of his speech was

Prohibition Politics
In U. S. Explained
(Continued From F«wo One.)
ally hundreds of democrats whom the
republican leaders have tried In vain
to displace.
Some republican senators and con
gressmen and other republican lead
ers have gone over the heads, or tried
to go over the heads, of Mr. Blair
and Mr. Mellon, direct to Harding;
and have tried to get Harding to
compel Mr. Mellon and Mr. Blair to
act more In accordance with the
wishes of the republican leaders. On
some of the occasions, Mr. Harding
refused to Interfere. On some other
occasions, when he tried to interfere,
he was met with quiet but completely
effective opposition from Mr. Mellon,
who took the position and "got away
with It” that so far as within his
power the Treasury department must
be administered as a business lnstl
tution and not as a political instltu
tion.
Where Politicians Work.
Where, then, is the politics? For
Governor Plnchot Is quite right when
he says that politics Interferes with
enforcement.
The politics comes from senators
and congressmen.
The appointment of agents and sub
ordinates In the prohibition enforce
ment unit Is not under the protec
tion of civil service. This being so.
as It works out. these appointments
are made chiefly on the recommenda
tion of senators in the various states.
It Is here, rather than anywhere else,
that the politics of which Governor
Plnchot complains, Is to be found. It
is the senators and congressmen who
I respond to the "wet" Influence# In
their various state*.
Aside from the charges that poll
tic# interferes. Governor Pinchot
really ha» in mind a distinction be
tween his own mental attitude and
the mental attitude of Mr. Mellon
Governor Pinchot Is himself by na
ture a man of zeal and determination,
and >UBt now his zeal and determina
tion are focused on enforcing the pro
hibition law. He demand# from Mr
Mellon the same amount of zeal and
determination that he himBeif has.
In his latest criticism Governor
Pinchot lays emphasis on "determina
tion.” It is entirely correct to say
that Mr. Mellon is a man of differ
ent temperament from Governor
Pinchot.
Mellon Is Modest.
Among other differences, Mr. Mel
lon is extremely modest, almost shy.
He is the only member of the cabi
net who has never made a public
speech since he took office. Mellon,
in his way, is as honest as Pinchot
In his way. But It would be acutely
painful to Mr. Mellon's temperament
to go about with pol cemen and pad
locks or to do anything else specta
cular. And precisely the demand of
the church people and prohibitionists
Is that something be done that is
spectacular and drastic. They think
this is what the present cruris calls
for.
For this and other reasons. Gov
vemor Pinchot is likely to have the
i^est of the present controversy.
