One has but to take a cursory glance at the week ly newspapers of Nebraska to find convincing proof of returning confidence and renewed hope. From all parts of the state these w’elcome weekly mes sengers come into the office of The Omaha Bee, heaving with them good cheer and optimism. They talk of renewed interest in dairying, of renewed in terest in scientific crop rotation and diversification, of village and city improvements, and of a return ing confidence in the sureness of reward to all those who give to Nebraska their best endeavor. Nebraska,farmers are facing the spring and sum mer work with greater hope and cheer than was theirs for the past two years. Money is becoming more easily available for safe and sane investment. Building operations promise to be greater during the coming season than for several years past. These facts are readily gleaned from Nebraska’s country newspapers,' always a safe barometer of general business conditions. Seasons of gloom are periodical in all countries, but they are shortest in the middle west, and short est of all in Nebraska. Here may be found the most responsive soil, the best climate, the best farmers and dairymen, the most enterprising business men, and the greatest opportunities for engaging in honest labor that brings surest reward. There is no good reason why Nebraska, or any other middle western state, should experience sea sons of adversity. Encircling Omaha, 500 miles in every direction, is the granary and meathouse of the world. Within that circle Is produced by far the greatest proportion of the surplus foodstuffs upon which the rest of the nation, and a goodly share of the word, depends. This admitted fact means that this area should be, and in time will be, the most prosperous area of the world. No wonder, then, that there is a tremendous revival of good cheer, of hope, and of confidence. No wonder that our people are smilingly facing the future. The gloom spreader rfnd the crape hanger are being rapidly shoved to the rear, and the hopeful and the optimistic are again taking charge. IOWA AND THE COSTLY COW. Iowa has long ranked high among the dairy states. Farmers over there have a laudable ambition to set the standard a little higher. To achieve this they have been on the lookout for more dairy cows and for the last two years have ransacked the coun try in search of them. Prof. Earl Weaver, head of the department of dairy industry at Ames, says a re sult of this has been that even the shrewd Hawkeye farmer has been seriously bilked. According to Professor Weaver, within the last two years 50,000 cows, costing at least $5,000,000, have been brought into Iowa that would better never have been allowed to cross the border of the state. Professor Weaver goes on to say: "These culls can temporarily satisfy a man who wants cows but eventually they will tiecome a bur den. They will he costly for their owners and they will be a detriment to the dairy Industry* It Is regrettable that they are owned In Jown. "For three years we have advised against the wholesale purchase of cows. Every day's experience confirms us irt our opinion. A\'e recognize that many farmers want to become dairymen. If they have the money and know dairy cattle type they can buy into the business. If fortunate In the aelection of the rows and In the matter of disease and accidents they will probably do well. However, this aort of start posts money and entails risk. A far cheaper and safer method is to breed and develop their own rorvs. The latter method Is slow for It involves the use of purebred dairy bulls and will require three or four years. The Impetuous men do not want to wait that long. It were better, however, for them to wait and proceed slowly than to make a radical jump and regret it." This advice will be worth attending by Nebras kans. A good dairy herd can not be improvised, and it is far safer and more satisfactory to go a little slow in laying the foundation than to be stuck with a lot of culls that soon become a liability rather than an asset. When a hazard is pointed out it should be easily avoided. Professor Weaver has in dicated one of the greatest dangers in the way of building up a dairy herd, and so has served the farmer well. "ABE POTASH” IS DEAD. Barney Bernard is dead. Most people will re member him as the creator of Abe Potash, hut a few will cherish his name because he was a real actor. It often happens that some one on the stage becomes associated so intimately with a single role that even though exhibiting greater or more artistic ability in another, public favor condemns them to the single part. It was so with Joseph Jefferson, who, for all his genius and his more worthy performances in other characters, will alway» live in the popular mind as "Rip.” Again and again did DeWolf Hopper try to break away from musical comedy, only to be driven back by popular demand. None of recent American actors held finer possibilities for the upper icalms of comedy than did Nat Goodwill, yet only * in low comedy would the public accept him. Sothern is the one man of late years who has been able to make the change. He was at the height of his popularity as a romantic light comedian when he resolutely assailed the strongholds of tragedy, and conquered in the end. Barney Bernard showed in Omaha long ago the elements that go to make for creative work on the stage. He was studious, enter prising, and possessed of the gift that marks a good actor. Yet, in an evil moment he accepted the part of "Abe” in the famous partnership, and his chance for advance in his art was foreclosed. Condemned by the public to give life to one of the peculiar types of humanity, he did it well. Abe 1’otash rose ubove the suit and cloak trade, because thp maq who created the role had power to lift him. lie stood out in the end ns a man, not a queer sort of money grubber. While his quarrels with Mawruss and his little domestic scenes with Rosie gave rise to much laughter, it was in the quieter, soberer mo ments, when Ab* was in sore travail, sacrificing his own and the interest* of those around him to aid an unfortunate immigrant boy, that Bernard showed the true gift of an actor. Those who knew him well will always regret that he did not get the full op portunity to exhibit his powers on the stage. WILL WE EVER GET OUT OF THE MUD? ■'Westfield, March 14.—Physicians of this dls tilit, because of the iin|ms.snl>le mud. have been forced "to resort to saddle horses to make their calls. Many automobiles are stuck In roads around here. According to local citizens the roads are in worse j condition now than at any time in the last 10 years.” — Shenandoah World. Such items are common in the press today. From all over both Nebraska and Iowa comes the news of farmers and others returning to the use of horses because the automobile can not negotiate the high ways in their present condition. Could any stronger argument be offered in sup port of the hard-surfaced highway? Millions of dollars tied up in high-priced cars, in trucks and tractors, are idle and unproductive, while the carry ing trade of the rural districts is practically at a standstill. All because the dirt roads are as usual in the springtime. Of course, it will only last a short time, a couple of weeks or so, but the loss of business during those two weeks is sufficient to sup ply the money that would be used in building con siderable stretches of all-weather roads. Good roads are not an extravagance. They are a necessity. The automobile, which is but the locomo tive in another form, is of no more use than a locomotive without rails. Each must have a track to run' on if it is going to be of service. Dirt roads become quagmires or bottomless bogs in early spring. This is as natural as it is for water to run down hill. The remedy is simple. Build roads that do not break down when winter breaks up. CONSTITUTION AND THE COMMITTEE. Martin W. Littleton drove home to the senatorial oil inquisitors a point they have been overlooking. In seeking to examine Harry Sinclair, he pointed out, the committee is trying to forestall the courts. Sinclair is now before the federal district court, fac ing a suit in which fraud and conspiracy is alleged. He is threatened with possible indictment on a crim inal charge. If he answers the committee, he must prejudge his case in court. Either he will be required to disclose his defense, or he will be compelled to accept the odium of refusing to answer because he might incriminate himself. The constitution of the United States guarantees trial by jury to all persons accused of crime. The senatorial inquisition is not clothed with judicial powers; its right to summons witnesses is questioned. That its rights are on a par with those of the courts is doubtful. The extraordinary length to which proceedings have gone at Washington does not, and should not, affect the fundamental principles on which our institutions rest.. Sinclair’s case will not be disposed of by the committee, but by the courts. The strength of the law- seems to support the plea of Lawyer Littleton. On the contrary, Senator W'alsh and other mem bers of the committee rely on their power to compel the attendance of witnesses. They hold the senate or the house has the authority to proceed as the committee has been doing. In a summary', ex parte manner, they propose to continue the work of raking over the straw that has been well nigh beaten into powder within the last three months. About the only thing they could get out of Sinclair would be his version of tales already told by Doheny, McLean and other witnesses, concerning which there may be some little curiosity, hut out of which not much that is material would develop. The issue raised here is the great ohe as to whether the senate is above the constitution. MR. FIRPO'S REAL REASON. The- sports editors and the talented newspaper correspondents are advancing divers and sundry rea sons for the announced determination of Senor Louis Firpo to abandon the prize ring. They pretty generally agree that Senor Firpo has fallen for the charms of a French actress, and in this they may be right. Other men accredited with more brains than Senor Firpo have abandoned even greater careers than prize fighting at the comc-hither glances of actresses and other members of the feminine sex. . B\it w ith all due deference to the judgment of the sports editors and talented newspaper corre spondents, there remains s lurking suspicion that one Jack Dempsey had considerable to Ho with the an nounced intention of Senor Firpo to hurl his podded mitts into the discard and turn his broad bark upon the squared circle. Sudden and severe contact of thinly clad fist upon solar plexus and point of jaw is a species of influence to which men of Senor Firpo's mentality are very likely to appreciate much more than the languishing glances of the dangerous sox. But whatever reason may have formulated it self within the cranium of the Wild Bui! of the Pampas, he is to he congratulated thereon. His abandonment of the pugilistic arena means that he will not again be subject to the awful shock of stop ping some of Mr. Dempsey’s sockdolagers. Borah is trying to stir his reluctant colleagues into doing something for the public, but none knows better than he how hard it is to get the senate to work when it can have fun investigating. Mr. Sinclair also might repress his indignation until the courts get through with him. 11s is not regarded exactly as n public benefactor. Strange as it may seem, W. J.

J Light Hack at Duxzenmatter. All,ion. Neb.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Poor I. T. Duzzenmat terl No wonder he never wins an ar gument If, as In hia recent letter, he furnishes the argument for the oppo site side. He asks, "What a the Dome got to do with 2.75 per cent?" Hi* answer Is that It will "raise the deuce with the good old party." and adds; "If you do not believe it take a re publican nomination blank around for signers." There you have it: Cause and effect. By all accounts this leaa ing Was not done yesterday, why the delay in making the Investigation? It looks to one who should "make" herself "think" as If it was postponed that there might he plenty of mud on hand for the campaign. Strange that tile leasing deal looked so innocent to Senator Walsh and his party In its Inception but became such a crime when accomplished by the other parjy. Now we all know, even if we don't "think" that there are black sheep in both parties and we know too that the majority in one party stands for advancement along all lines, knowing that there can be hut little advance ment made by a nation whose brains are hefuddled with rum: this party is almost solid for prohibition, not al ways. maybe, for esthatieal reasons, but then it is not because they have been paid a big price to make grape juice popular. It Is wonderful how silver dollars can give a silver tongue to an orator! Now on the other hand, the opposite party, or a large part of It, for there ere some wonderfully fine hut mis guided people who belong to It, are anxious to bring back the saloon, so anxious they would if possible elect a wet president and cabinet. They are sending out men to work for this very thing. If they can discredit the party that is ready to stand by the constitution whs’ they migtit lie side to elect a "booze Joint" that would take men, as figureheads to the capital. As for "sob” stuff I have no need to listen to speeches as the leader of a charitable organization In pr^prohibition days had plenty of it first hand. Now. thank God, we never have a call for aid unless in case of some accident, hard as times are. How blind! How blind men can he. The children of Germany are starving and the men are taking the grain, fruit and sugar to make booze though the mothers have been begging that It he used for food. And the people of America are called upon to supply their need. Yet some would reduce America to the foreign standards, make a god of this accursed thing that rsduces man far below the level of the brute, making them s curse to their families, 1 menace to society, at the last a pub lic charge on the commonwealth. Now my dear S. T. Duzzenmatter can you see any connection between the Tea pot and t lie stein'.’ As It seems to he hard to "cut out the Sunday school” let me add in closing, "Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: And whoso rnlleth a atone It shall return upon him.

The legislature passed a bill last year to continue the. work. Bryan vetoed the bill, saying that the stockmen and packing houses were in a conspiracy to mulct the tax layers. Has Bryan Joined «h* con spiracy? Two years ago the state veterinary condemned my best milk cow. | want them to come again and take the rest of the Infected ones. M.v childien shall not b» drinking tubercu lar infected milk if I can help It. It may cost the state 'something, hut tuberculosis eradication is cheap at any price. Bryan by his veto put the work be hind in the state ove,- two years The sute would have been well rid of the diseased herds by this time. The de lav has given the disease time to get additional foothold. That veto was a costly one to the state. This one set of the governor Is sufficient to brand him as Incompetent for the position he holds. Bryan says he has reduced the state taxes 40 per cent. Wrong again. A republican legislature reduced the state taxes. My memory la not so short. Bryan submitted a budget ami the republicans cut that down 000,000. I have absolutely no use for the republican party, hut when It does « good Joh it should get the credit In stesd of thst supreme egotist In the governor's chair. Again, Bryan says he reduced the pries of gasoline In the state of Ne hraska. What a giant of a governor' No, mV friends, the Standard Oil com panv reduced the price of gas In or der to show ths Independent com panles where to head In. When Stand ard Oil had them properly taught It hiked the price again.

The Nullifying Doctrine of Class Rights It is. sir, the peoples constitution, the peoples government; made for the people, made by the people, and answerabl to the people.—Daniel Webster, reply to Hayne. John Marshall has made, the decision; now let him execute it.—Andrew Jackson. XI.IV. HEN South Carolina raised the banner of state nullifi cation, it required only one of the least rhetorical of _ the passages in Mr. Web ster’s celebrated reply to Mr. Jlayne to shiver that doctrine into pieces. The government, lie said, was not of the states, but of the people. *'I hold it,” lit said, “to be a popular gov ernment, erected by the people, those who administer it responsible to the people, and itself capable of being amended and modified, just as the people may choose it should be.” In these words he merely paraphrased the language of the con stitution itself. “W*\ the people of I the I nited States/' that document be gins. This is not, then, a government of the states nor of sections; and that being so, how much less is it a gov ernment of special interests, of groups or of class? In these days the pretense is boldly advanced on many sides that the government is the agency of some i»ne part of the people. This is merely a new form of nullification, an at tempt to nullify the constitution ex cept as it may advantageously apply to the interests of some part of the people less than the whole. But we do not find anything in the constitu tion providing that legislation should be controlled by or in the interests of any particular class. There are those ! who would change the constitution to read, "We, the people of the I nited States, engaged in this or that occu pation or business." But the manu facturers are not the people r.f the I’nited States, the producers are not. the politicians, merchants, workers are not. Whenever we see one of these or any other classes organizing and combining for their own interest, we may think of them as nullifiers of the constitution exactly as were those who advanced the doctrine in Ken tucky in 17'♦ h and in New England sin 1814 and in South Carolina in Web ster's day—the dot1 trine that the con stitution and laws of the I nited States are not*binding except as we, are pleased to be bound by them. The nullifiers of th* Calhoun sc hool spoke in the name of a state, hut the nullifiers of our days raise the voice of class a voice more arrogant and dangerous. Even secession spoke in the name of the states, and had. it may be. some constitutional warrant for it. The southerners could at least show that slavery was in the eonsti tion (though the word itself does not occur there), but where can it be shown In the constitution that the in terests now forming blocs in congress and the country have any constitu It’s danperous t’ stare at woman while crosain' th' street, beside ther’ll be plenty more on th' other aide. If it suin' far wrist watches, Airedale dops an’ business ven tures, fortune tellers would have t' shut up shop. (i*opyright. 1924 ) tional lights above those of all the people,? If the south would have broken the union over slavery, there are special interests in the country today that would break it over their peculiar privileges. These interests. If they could have their way, would sovietize the United States, for every special Interest Is nothing hut a soviet, and soviet rule is the most extreme form of class rule the world has ever seen Blocs are soviet germs; they wq,uld govern for themselves and in their own interest; instead of a clash of state Interests such as we had under the artl'ies>of confederation, we would have clashes of soviet interests, a far more dangerous alignment than ever states or sections offered. If tlie construction that Webster and Marshall placed on the constitu tion denied the pretension of s sov elgn state to override the power of tlie general government, exercised in the interests of all the states, what would they have said to the pre tension of a single class of citizens, not even named In the constitution, to override that power in its own in terests? The issues of the rivi! war de termined that the states were not sov ereign in the sense that they could, hy individual or collective action, with draw from the union and reassume any sovereign powers they were sup posed to have when they entered it. If the states are not above the con stitution can any combination of citi zens be? "Whence," asked Webster, in liis reply to llayne, "is this supposed light of the states derived?" Whence, it may now lie asked in the same language, is this supposed right of interests that do not embrace the interests of all the people derived? “There is," said Webster, "no au thority with them (the states) to ar rest ihe operation of a law’ of con gress." There is no authority with a com bination of citizens to deny ’o other citizens any right enjoyed under the constitution and the laws. The states." said Webster, "cannot make war; they cannot contract al liances; they cannot make each fori itself, separate regulations of com] merre " If the states were denied these pre negatives of sovereignty, shall thev ice granted "o a combination of citi zens" Shalt a class make war when states cannot? Shall classes contract alliances? Shall they make, each for itself, separate regulations of com merce? A c lass has made war in this coun try. It has taken arms In its hands and shot down those who refused to how to Its dictates, ('lasses have con tracted nlllanres to Impose- their will i n others. Classes have, hy violently Interfering with the production and distribution of the necessaries of life, sought to make th*ir own regulations of commerce. These are the new nullifler* of the' constitution and the lews They are trying to do ,what state nullifler* and state secessionists never succeeded In doing Nullification met its Mai shall, its Jackson and its Webster. Seces sion met its 1-incoln. Is there another such American today who will meet with equal patriotism and courage the challenge to free government that class and privilege have thrown do»n?
