When Robert M. La Follette reaches Omaha next Monday he will find his campaign plans in Nebraska sadly mixed up. The first breach in the walls came as a result of a moral breakdown, following the at tack by Dawes upon the La Follette-Socialist deal for the emasculation of the constitution. Dnwes charged that La Follette was compelled to burden hiar platform with the demand for increasing the poorer of congress—placing it above the legislative and executive powers, in order to win the support of, the socialists. Dawes pointed out that without thfc socialists, who are the backbone of the La Follette power in Wisconsin, he could never have hoped to launch his campaign. • • « • The break in the La Follette lines in Nebraska cattle when, following Dawes’ address in Omaha, prominent La Follette backers, including the La Follette newspaper support in Omaha, apologized for this plank in his platform, saying that after all it didu’t really mean anything. In support of this position the followers and supporters of the Wis consin senator pointed to the very clauses in the Uaited States constitution which La Follette seeks to’ destroy, namely the requirement that amend ments to the constitution must run the gauntlet of twq-thirds of both houses of congress and three fourths of the state legislatures. The net result of the Dawes disclosures in Omaha was to drive the La Follettfc supporters in this state to abandon his chief plank. They lacked the moral cotjrage to stand up and fight for the very thing that La Follette has put so much store by. This moral break has now been followed by a break in the ranks of the La Follette managers in Nebraska. Frank A. Harrison, regional director, his unceremoniously dismissed Otto Mutz, chairman of the state committee. * * 9 Harrison charges Mutz with “riding hobbies.” In other words, with urging issues, which Harrison regarded as not pertinent to the campaign. The seriousness of the situation is in the fact that Mutz wfis selected by the state convention, which put La Follette in nomination in Nebraska. His authority is higher than that of Harrison, who is the personal selection of La Follette. Mutz refuses to be “fired.” This is natural. He was selected by the convention. Harrison in dis missing Mutz stated he had been directed to do so by .the La Follette national campaign committee, thus still further complicating the situation. • • * Mutz has a real following in Nebra'ka, a per sonal following that is loyal, and the manner in which he has been treated will naturally be resented. Harrison, who lives in California, and who was brought into the work chiefly because he was re garded as an organizer, has no personal following in Nebraska. With the moral strength of the La Follette move ment in this state shattered by the Dawes disclo sures and the probability that Mutz will carry his grievance to the extent of opposition, Frank Harri son may find himself without any following to or ganize. “Battling Bob” will have a job before him when he reaches Omaha. BOYS, IT IS NOW UP TO YOU. Whether the so-called adjusted compensation law passed by the late congress was exactly what tHe World War veterans wanted or not, it is the law. Surprising as it may seem, the veterans are net responding to the call as rapidly as they should. nths ago they were notified that delay in regis tering is dangerous and costly. General Robert C. DnVis, adjutant general of the army, who is in charge ofithe work, reports that only about 1,300,000 ap • pljcations have been received from the 4,500,000 veterans who are entitled to adjusted compensation. urges that those concerned should not delay their applications: "From the viewpoint of the veteran, It Is even more Imperative that he should act at once. The War department Is dally receiving rases where vet erans who have thought themselves In the hest of health have died or been killed by accident without having submitted their applications. Their widows and children, many of them In needy elroiimstanres. receive In such cases, tho amount of the adjusted service credit, equal to approximately one-third only of what they would have received In one pay ment In cash had the veterun made application be fore death. "A further reuson for prompt application Is that the face value of the Insurance eery fir ate furnished Is dependent upon the age of tho veteran at tho Jlme of filing his application, the amount decreasing ns the nge increases. "Lastly, the cash payments under the act. be come due on March 1. 1925, and unless the vetpran applies In sufficient time In advance of that date to •noble his Halm to he properly adjudicated and transmitted to the Veterans' Bureau, the payment t« hhn will be delayed." Veterans who neglect this important matter are cutting into jeopurdy the rights of their de pendents. One of the arguments used for the bill was that it protected the loved ones of tho soldier. Now, in all reason, the soldier should act to see to it ! that his loved ones do not suffer because of his negligence. He was prompt enough when told to go over the top in France. Let him be as prompt now, for he is defending wife and baby, mother or sister, just as much in this as he was then. WHY NOT ANSWER, MR. NORTON? It was neither impertinent nor unusunl for W. H. Green to propound certain questions to Mr. J. N. Norton, who camo to Omaha looking for votes. Heckling of candidates is one phase of campaigning that is universal, indulged in by everybody, and ex pected by the man who takes the stump. The ques tions submitted by Mr. Green and ignored by Candi date Norton have to do with the latter’s record as a legislator. He could answer any or all of them by a plain yes or no. He could explain his answer to any of them. How it might affect his standing before the vot ers is for Mr. Norton to determine for himself. Cer tainly, frankness in meeting such queries could not cost him any more votes than his decision to ignore them. However, if he prefers to allow voters to read the unanswered questions and draw their own inferences, that is his privilege. He is not on the witness stand, he is just conducting a canvass for votes, seeking to be elected to the office of governor. Naturally, he has no desire to permit anything in his past record to come up now to confront him in an embarrassing way. Yet he might be courageous enough to tell us what he voted for when he was in the legislature, and why he voted that way. What, for example, was his reason for wanting to suppress baseball on Sunday, if he really did vote that way. If not, why he favored the game. Likewise, his rea sons for wanting to suppress smoking in public places. Also, for seeking to permit the garnishment of wages. Speak up, Mr. Norton. All would like to hear what you have to say in reply to Mr. Green’s ques tionnaire. CARRYING A EUDDY’S PACK. Joseph Corbett came home from France with a physique somewhat the worse for his experience. His heart, however, is in the right place, and noth ing daunted by anything that happened to him over there, nor over here. Carrying on as well and bravely as ever he did when following the flag, Jo seph Corbett has accumulated among other things a wife and babies. He was striving to provide a shelter for them, but was not having much luck. A bad cough rather interfered, and he did not get along very smoothly. In fact, it looked like an other winter in the trenches for Joseph and his wife and babies. What happened next. A couple of squads and a few files of Legionnaires descended on the Corbett sector. Side arms consisted of hammers, hatchets, saws and the like, and munitions were boards, nails, windows and whatever goes to make a comfortable little house. Several hours after the signal was given to go over the top somebody blew a whistle, to signify “Objective taken!” It is not much of a house, as mansions go, but it is weather tight and cozy. Joseph Corbett, Mrs. Joseph Corbett and the younger Corbetts sleep warm, and can defy the storm king, thanks to the youth who still hold to what they learned in the army. It was not only hay foot and the rest of that stuff that was taught in the service. One of the biggest lessons was to carry a buddy’s pack. More elaborate exhibitions of this spirit may have been noted, but none more sincere. It is the thing that makes life worth living. We do not know the names of any of those energetic young builders, but we are very certain they deserve to be men tioned in the orders for the day. - I TEETH IN THE SPEEDING LAW. The supreme court of Nebraska has decided that the statute dealing with speeders on the country toads is good law and cnforcible. An appeal was taken from Webster county by one Herbert Brown. He had been fined $350 for unlawful operation of an automobile. Dashing along a country highway at a terrific rate of speed, he collided with another car, the occupants of which were severely injured. For this he was fined. In the appeal just dismissed, Brown’s attorneys set up that the law is vague and uncertain, indefi nite and incapable of enforcement. It should be held unconstitutional, because it does not specify what is a rate of speed that is reasonable and proper, having due regard for the traffic and the condition of the road. Against this the state set up that the statute limits the speed rate to 35 miles per hour. Any speed above that is unlawful. While the supreme court filed no written opinion in the case, the decision in effect declares the statute to be valid. No question can be raised ns to the right of the state to regulate traffic along the highways, or even on city streets. Such regula tion is in the interest of public safety, and for the better movement of traffic. Only the reckless driv ers are aimed at. The overwhelming majority of those who use the highways do so with due regard for their own and others’ safety. Such as have not such regard must be compelled to show it. The decision of the supreme court puts teeth into the state law, and ought to have some effect in the wny of making auto driving safer in Nebraska. , The Coolidges will also attend the Army-Navy football game. Sometimes it pays to be president. Dawes plan for America ought to be ns good as the Dawes plan for Europe. A month ago folks were worrying about frost. Homespun Verse —By Omaha'a Own Poet— Robert Worthington Doric —---/ GOLFING. Golf Is just a game that gives u Needed exercise each day; We enjoy It for fhe reason . That we work but think wo play.

Having lived my j life under the British flag up to that time, 1 had absorbed the free trade policy of that country and was naturally opposed to the protective policy of this country. During tile first national election here after ar rival, I had heard so much of high and low tariff that I looked up con ditions and studied the subject all I could, arriving soon nt the conclusion that a high tariff for this extensive and young country was the only sure way toward its development, especial !y in view of the higher price of labor and the better living conditions of all the people. I have been a sub scriber of The Omaha Bee most of tile time while in Omaha. 1 also read the democratic paper to get the other side. In last Tuesday night's Bee you have an article dealing with this question of tariff which I'd like to commend to every voter. In the democratic paper there Is also an article dealing somewhat with the same subject, but, oh, how it begs the question. It's simply claptrap and designed to confuse and mislead the voter who does not think. Facts are facts, and I know what you say is right In reference to tinware and aluminumware. Every housewife knows that she can furnish her kitchen now with the latter cheaper than in the past, besides giving em ployment to thousands ot people al better wage than if there was a low tariff or no tariff at all. To me, this question of tariff is a vital one for the workers of Ameri ca. Xu worker wants to take lower wages, and all want some of the com forts of home in their life. How can they get these and rear a family decently and comfortably as they are entitled to on a low wage? lt't> the protective tariff that has made this country- the desire of all nations; that the people of the world wish to flow into. Only the nominees of the republican party are the duly nominated, as I see it, to the office of president and vice president. The cabal held at New York did not nominate anyone at any time or in any way before the people. La Toilette, Brookhart. Wheeler (k Co. are self nominated. Democrats have said to me and in my hearing that Davis and Bryan w-ere a Joke, and I.a Foliette, Brook hart Wheeler & Co . are out to get the Jobs and satisfy their vanity. For myself, I’d like to see all necessary things produced on a large scale. Quantity production always gives us cheaper as well as better values for our money, so I'm in favor of big corporations, so that the people may get the best for the least money pos-1 sible. I hope the voters will study their own interests and vote for Cool idge and Dawes. With them the coun try can go forward in a safe, sane and progressive manner. 1 d like to add the name of that wonderful man— Mellon. _ J- E Why They Weep. Kenesaw. Neb.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee; These are the days when hunk and bunkum are nt a premium. Carrying the uncontested bolt In this line j- the able and es teemed World-Her^lld. Considered as even 60 per cent sincere, the w.-H. might fairly be regarded as altruistic to the verge of extravagance. This is a time when the ordinary citizen of good Intentions is excusable for being a little blind to the virtues of his political opponents and quite willing to let them work out their own salvation without his .aid. Not so the World-Herald. Its withers nre wrung because that friend of the peo ple. the republican party. Is suffering, as it says, from the inconsistencies of Its own members and candidates. Columns of prize essay editorials, day after day. are donated to the cause of sympathy for the grand old party with Its 65 years of noble ac complishments In the promotion of good government and the uplift of humanity. It Is an exhibition of al truism without a parallel. In the midst of n more or less selfish campaign, the World-Herald more than fulfills the Injunction, "Love vour enemies." Why? Because nt the end of more than 30 years of pub lic service O' .rge \V. Norris has not only the support of his own party-, as shown by the primary- election, but. of the great body of the people, re gardless of politics. That Is an offense In a political op ponent that the World-Herald cannot abide, forgive or fall to abominate. / Intended as a criticism of the senior senator, these attacks nre in fact the highest praise. In the limelight for a score of years, his publio acts In the national congress an open book, and yet by almost unanimous concert the people, regardless of ivilltlcal bias, say "he suits us.” In the language of Mark Sullivan, a disinterested out slder, observes: /* " \ Abe Martin --- iWtoPAlg IM)lHEKZ I T.afr Hud eats cloves jest t' make folks believe he kin afford a boot legger.

A. BRIDGE, Cir. MBr. Subscribed and sworn to before nic this 4th day of October, 1024 W. II QUIVF.Y, (Seal) Notary Public « "Senator Norris is the most popu lar man in Nebraska." That's what hurts the Workl-Her ald. It looks with complacency at the democrats slipping In at the side door to get their names on the so-called progressive party’s ticket, to cap ture under false pretenses a few much needed votes. It Ignores conflict of opinion In its own party which fences off the Bryans west of the Missouri river, while Governor Smith is rally ing the wets in New York and New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Nebraska have a population almost exactly equal to the 11 states of the solid south. The former group cast more than twice the vote of the lat ter, yet the latter group has 24 more votes In the electoral college than the former. South Carolina with nine electoral votes cast 400,000 less poular votes than Nebraska, which has eight elec toral votes. Mississippi and Kansas each have 10 electoral votes. In 1920 Mississippi cast SO,000 votes, Kansas 554,000. Georgia has 14 electoral votes, Iowa 13. In 1920 Iowa cast five times the vote of Georgia. These conditions are largely the result of a violation of the Constitu tion of the United States. They fur nish the sole chance of democratic victory. Does any democrat protest? I. D. EVANS. Done by the Aristocracy. Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Probably It will Interest irate Mr. Dawes to learn that the ^(institution of the United States did not descend in thunder and lightning from a second Mount Sinai, and that to amend or radically change It may conceivably not violate a mandate of Jehovah. I have been looking up a little his tory and can recommend the same ac tivity to zealous defenders of the Con stitution. According to Arthur M. Schlesinger, professor of history in the University of Iowa: "Of the 55 members who attended the (constitu tional) convention at one time or other, not one represented in his own personal economic interests the small farming or mechanic classes. On the contrary, the great majority, at least five-sixths of the membership, were directly and personally interested in the outcome of their labors through their ownership of property, real and personal, and were, to a greater or less extent, economic beneficiaries of the adoption of the constitution." But If Prof. Schlesinger, having a German name, is disqualified from speaking authoritatively, no other than President Woodrow Wilson can be called on to testify that the mak ers of the Constitution were “a strong and Inte'ligent class, possessed of unity and Informed by a conscious solidarity of material Interest:" while John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, Oouvenor Morris and others, who helped make the Constitution, settle (he question beyond any possibility of doubt, the last named frankly refer ring to the common people as "poor reptiles.” If the ruling class of 17S7 and there abouts could act according to their economic Interests, and drew up a constitution to serve those interests. I should like to know why city and country workers cannot constitute themselves the ruling class of 1924 and amend the old constitution or make an entirely new one to serve their economic interests. No reason at all but their own Ignorance and un willingness to unite. If Mr. Dawes is not careful, he will fret himself into a fever, and ail so needlessly. His beloved Constitution of the United States is in no Im mediate danger so far as its essential nature is concerned, not even from Robert M. La Follette. I am going to vote for Mr, La Follette, rccogniz !ng fully, however, the limitations of his personality and his program. He doep not go as far as I would go or as far as many of his supporters would go, but let him go as far as he will, and others will take up the flag of fundamental change where he lays It down and will carry it on through other battles and victories. Certain men closely associated In the founding of the republican party violently criticized the courts and th" Constitution of the United states, some of them referring to "the char ter of our liberties" as "a covenant with ileath and an agreement with hell" because it was used to keep the black man in bondage. For those of us that believe that freedom Is n pro gressive thing, constantly calling for labor and vigilance, misguide,) ndorn tlon of an ancient document and vehement denunciation of those who would make it keep tune with the times will not prevent us from re plying by dream and deed to urago and freedom In the past, even thobgh that document he the Consti tution of the United States and the vehement denunciator the republican candidate for vice president of the United States. _EDMUND R BRUMBAUGH.

(/■--—' Conclusions ana Their Proof v___-— -* From the St. Paul Dispatch. For the purposes of his militant crusade through the midwest in de fense of the constitution Mr. Dawes llnds it necessary to limit himself to a statement of the consequences of Senator La Follette's proposal to re move all effective check from con gress. These eon sequences-he states to be chaos and confusion, a break with tradition, the abrogation of American liberties, the destruction of tried and tested American institutions. He likens Senator Ln Follette to a sea nnin who would throw the compass overboard and let the ship sail by the winds. It is significant that none of Sena tor La Follette's orators have tried to meet Mr. Dawes on this Issue, when, It would seem that if these are mere assertions, calculated to fright en the public, It would be the easiest thing in the world to answer them with counter assertions. Why doep not Senator La Follette simply point out that Great Britain has never had a written constitution to place a check on parliament, and conclude that Mr. Dawes’ campaign fears of what might happen are disingenuous? The answer is easy. In such a de bate Senator La Follette would get a drubbing. That question has long ago been settled, and in the academic clrc'es where It arose, the controversy is closed. It is well beaten ground. To go over it again would only lead to the same conclusion which the academic gentleman reached. Sena tor La Follette does not require Mr.] Dawes to prove his case because thei proof has already been worked out. I Only by deadening thought, and not I by stimulating it, can La Follette get j anywhere with his proposal to smash the constitution. The British government has no: written constitution, hut It does have a constitution. Parliament is nomi nally without restraint, but actually it ‘s subject to as real a check as the American congress. Great Britain's unwritten constitution is as powerful a restraint upon the British parlia ment as our written document Is upon ours. America needs a written guaranty because, unlike Great Britain, it has no homogenous population and be cause the American people do not have a deep common tradition to gov ern their political thinking. Ousts ot theories may drive the American peo ple in a veering course, and frequent ly do. If our institutions were not so difficult to destroy, they would not be stable. The British government is the product of a thousand years of ex perience, during which it grew to Its present form. The American govern ment sprang into existence almost overnight. The British constitution grew and the American was struck off by the minds of men. Both have proved their worth. Each, in its own way, and under circumstances pe culiar to It, is the guaranty of the people living under it against con fusion and ill-considered change. > To Have and to Hold. _ Philadelphia paper suggests the United States mint should put rub 1 er tires on the "cartwheels' they are gonna turn out.

We do not know how many automobiles we have seen at points where our special train has stopped. But if our bank ^ balance was 10 per cent of the money these autos represent we'd spend the rest of our life touring the world and work only when we felt like It. There Isn't very much wrong with a state where there is an automobile for every five or six of the in habitants, and where the yearly consumption of gasoline Is equal to the value of the annual wheat crop. - Whatever there Is wrong certainly must be In the minds of the people. A week or so ago we noticed a man selling lead pencils and shoelaces on an Omaha corner. He looked hale and hearty, hut he was minus one leg The first of this week in a little Ne braska town we saw another man minus one leg. He wasn't peddling pencils and shoelaces. He is a drayman. He doesn't ask for sympathy. All he asks is the patronage he deserves. Being careful and dependable, he has been able to buy a couple of good trucks, huild a modern home, educate three children and take a prominent part In the civic life of his community. Yet. unless appearances are deceitful, he is not half the man physically that the one legged pencil peddler in-Omaha Is.
