..THE BREAKDOWN OF LA FOLLETTE.
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.

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.

football game. Sometimes it pays to be president.
Dawes plan for America ought to be ns good as
the Dawes plan for Europe.

Omaha—To the Editor of The Oma
ha Bee: I arrived in Omaha the first
time, October, lsS3. 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—

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

"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?

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.

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.

having retired from office. Did Bill sit around and whine?
He did not. He began working for the farmers Drain and
Supply company, which wasn’t In the best of shape. A little
later he became manager of the concern. Now it is
and Bill Is numbered among the successful merchants ot >r .
Bill had a significant display in hi* show window the day the
Burlington’s pure bred sire special visited Ord From a‘
can was pouring cancelled checks totalling $3jS._• -- -16 that Hill
had paid out for cream purchased by his concern during tne
last five years. And there are 17 other cream buyers In that
county. But Bill bought over one-half of the cream. BUI
didn't wait for something to turn up, He went out and turned It.
Members of the We Knew Him When club will shove along
on the bench and make room for J. Cass Cornell of Llnco n.
He is a big business man now, but time was yvhen he was a
farmer boy up in Garfield county. We first knew him when he
made some pretensions of being a base ba'I player, hut he
tooted abetter horn In the village hand He went along on t..e
pure bred sires special long enough to visit In Garfield. Greeley
and Valley counties, where he played ball, tooted his horn find
acquired his first lessons In Industry. Everybody up In that
section knows J. Cass, and likes him, too. He is another Ne
braska boy who didn’t sit around and whine about lack of op
portunities and complain about the "durned foreigners taking
the country." He hustled. He still hustles. And what he has
accomplished any young fellow can accomplish by putting In
the same hours of work, the same close attention to business,
and playing the game square.
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.
Wednesday the people of Aurora and vicinity had the
pleasure of listening to a couple of good speakers. Byron Clark
of Omaha was the other one. It was at a reunion of old set
tlers, and a wonderful occasion despite the weather and one
of the speakers. When we get an invitation to speak at an
old settlers' reunion we begin to realize that we struck Ne
braska when it was Just beginning to sit up and take notice
of Its wonderful resources and possibilities.
