A. Mitchell Palmer, iometimes called th« ''Eight ing tjuskrr," ha* gone into action. Stung by the Charges made by Gaston H. Mean* before the senate Daugherty Inquiry committee, he proteat* hi* inno cence. "As for my conference with Mr. Daugherty, the version of Means is a lie out of whole cloth.1 exclaims Mr. Palmer, who holds: ■ It Is an amazing thing that a committee of the United Slates scnaie would allow llself to become the medium of broadcasting to the world the fa ae and ridiculous charge* of a witness of the character of Oaston H. Means, designed to blacken the repu tation of honest ami conscientious public officials. Addressing himself to the fact that certain alle gations had been examined by a grand jury and found to lie baseless, Mr. Palmer unload* hi* righteous indignation on the committee; In the fu.e of Ihcsc findings, which must le ts ithln the knowledge of the senate committee, for that committee to allow a witness like Means to repeat his unfounded charge, long sln-e disprove.!. IS well calculated to discount the Sincerity Of this present Investigation, and to justify Ihe widespread criticism of the senate for becoming a mor* distrib utor of slander and slinger of mud.'1 * * * And yet some wonder may be expressed that Mr. Palmer waited until his own good name was railed into question before he took occasion to de nounce the proceedings. He knew from the begin ning as well as now the character of Gaston B. Means, and his credibility as a witness. So long as (he attack was on Harry Daugherty and other re publicans. as a democratic partisan, Mr. Palmer re mained silent. He knew the source and the nature „f the slander, but did not raise his voice. The „„|y conclusion is that the Means’ stories might srrve his party. Of course Mr. Palmer deprecates the fact, as do many other good democrats, that such despicable methods are resorted to in politics. They sre care ful however, to restrain themselves from protesting. Kven in the senate democrats like Underwood of Alabama, Simmons of North Carolina, Overman of North Carolina, Stanley of Kentucky, and Rans ('ell of Louisiana, sit quietly and by their silence np f...„ve the course of their slandering fellow partisans, Mlhrr than rise to the defense of good government. • • • President Coolidge sought to srouse the dor mant sense of decency and responsibility. Among the democrats he succeeded only in giving such sen ators as Reed of Missouri, Glass of Virginia, Harri son of Mississippi and Carraway of Arkansas fresh excuse for further tirades. Insinuation and innu endo from democrats has followed the president’s efforts to restore order, and to secure government by law Instead of slander. Honest democrats all over the land must feel a sense of shame that their leaders should step aside and let the Wheelers, the Walshes and the rest spread the slime from the lowest pits of infamy over good men’s names, not sparing even the dead. By their silence they are parties to the crime of turning loos* self-confessed spies, courtesans, dive keepers, train-robbers, drug fiends, discharged em ployes and the like to retail absurd yarns, parading themselves ns confidential advisers and trusted in struments of men in highest office. Only when on* of them i* touched, a* was A. Mitchell Palmer, hy the venemou* tongue of a slan derer, i* protest made. The rent are willing to see reputation* besmirched, character* destroyed, use fulness impaired, and even confidence in the institu tion* of America challenged. For what? That it may bring their party a possible chance of victory. By th*lr *il*nc* they join in the *lander, lactitly ap proving a course that should cause them to blush for sham*. They do not believe Gaston B. Means, nor Roxie Stinson, nor Al Jennings, nor other* who have testified. They secretly hope that the world will not believe that the government of the United State* haa become the reeking mess of corruption and bad faith It haa been painted. Yet they lack the moral courage to assert their own *en*e of decency and force the pack back into the kennel. * * * Such hypocrisy will get the reward It deserves. Success can not be built on the slime that i* now being poured out by the “witnesses” who are being called In Washington. Foundation* for victory can not be laid on filth. American* have faith in the cause of America. They will find the way to re buke those who now wrap their cloak* of *r|f-right foutnes* about them, and rejoice In the prospect of another’* downfall, becauae through It they hop* to win political profit. BONUS BILL IN THE SENATE Early passage by the senate of the adjusted fompensatlon bill substantially in the form it came from the house is assured. A number of amend ments are being considered, but none that materially modifies the measure that is approved by the Ameri can Legion and others most, concerned Is likely to be adopted. The democrats have pursued the tar ties that has marked theirvrourse since the opening of congress, proposing the substitution of cash pay ments for Insurance features, and other aimilar changes, solely for the purpose of embarrassing the administration. None of these has yet rallied suffi cient support to make It impressive. Republicans have sought to put through a measure that will be satisfactory to the men who served In the army during the war. It is not a politic*! ex pedient, but e question of justice. A general feel ing exists that some provision should be made to com penaate these men for the service they gave.

TREF PLANTING AND PROTECTION Arbor Pay will ha observed |n Nebraska, 1hla year, as it has been in all the years since it was Instituted Through this observance our people have earned the honorable and distinctive title of "Tree Planters." More than ever this year the nr rasinn is of significance. Plans are being laid for the celebration of the centennial 6f Arbor Pay, In 1972. Tree* that go into the ground as sapling* this vrar and for the next few years to come will he giants then, fit emblems of the enterprise of to day, a wonderful tribute to the foresight and pa triotism of the Nebraskans of this generation. Tree planting is one certain method of uniting sentiment with the practical. Nothing is more beau tiful than a tree, nothing more useful, Experience is demonstrating more and more the need for sys tematic tree culture, not alone for the protection that comes from standing timber, but for the use that will be made of it. A forest is a crop, not a mine, and should be so treated. More than the mere planting of tree* is being observed this week. Hcginning with today "Forest Protection Week" opens, and will he devoted to the dissemination of information and advice with regard to rare of the forests. Principally, this instruction will lake the form of urging care to prevent forest fires. Millions of dollars worth of timber has been sacrificed to carelessness through forest fires. Thou sands of lives have gone out in the breath of the monster that sweeps through the woods, loosed by a carelessly tossed match, or cigaret butt, or the failure properly to guard a camp fire. The Forestry service of the United States wel come* visitors to the forest reserves. Accommoda tion* in the way of well-kept roads and camping places are provided. Privileges amounting to absolute freedom are ex tended. In return, the visitors are asked to be care ful about fire, to treat the government property as they would their private possessions. When all do this, the danger of destructive fires In the timber will be reduced materially. When traveling through the timber make sure you do not expose the woods to the danger of fire. Put out carefully every match you light, make cer tain that each cigaret or cigar, or the ashes from the pipe howl, are dead before being discarded. Above all, when a fire is built, see that it is extinguished before it i* abandoned. Pour water on it and all around it. He certain. That is the message the Forestry service has for the tourists. It should be in the mind of every one. Carter Glass, senator from Virginia and demo crat, is amazed that the president should impute anything to the »«nnte. Of course, what the sena tor imputea to the president does not count. Mr. McAdoo’s managers ought to get together. One in Washington claims fiOO delegates, and the one in New York says it is 1MJ. As pnly 410 have been chosen, it is plain which is wrong. A youth who stole $14,000 and spent it among the "white lights,” says he did not have much fun, because he was drunk all the time. He will be sober enough by the time he gets out. The woman who ha* to murder a man In her home to '“save her honor” bob* up every now and then. She may have honor, but uaually ahe also ha* experience. March whirled up a total of *$.141,000,000 ex port* and $110,000,000 Import*, and *tlll the demo crat* in*i*t on having the markets of the world opened. Now the Smith bread law ha* been found "re pugnant to the Fourteenth amendment to the con stitution.” Hurd to get anything over that hurdle. Cordell Hull decline* to be con*oled by the turn thing* are taking, but he will have to put tip with the outcome of what hi* party colleague* started. New York police have broken up a plant where counterfeit money wa* printed to pay r»m runner* for liquor. At that it would be about a standoff. A New York doctor tell* u* “a kl*a without a kick i* no kis* at all,” Wonder how he found out what everybody else knew all the time? Auto accident* cost a billion dollar* and 27,000 live* in the United State* in 1928. A fairly steep price to pay for rarele**ne*».
