OUTDOOR AMERICA.
Sociologists have expended much time and energy
in a more or less bootless discussion of the change
in American life from rural to urban predominance.
One benefit has come from the change. It has
awakened the American people to the fact that they
have a wonderful heritage in out-of-doors. They
have awakened just in time, too, for their opening
eyes caught the spectacle of the greater part of their
heritage vanishing. When the forests went most of
the wild life went.
* * *
Plenty of room is available, however, for the
folks who need civilization, and some to spare for
those who love to get into the wilds now and then.
A few little bits of wilderness are left, and it is to
preserve these that a growing group of thoughtful
men and women are at work. The Izaak Walton
League has a purpose. Its members are devoted to
the salvation of what remains of out-of-doors where
beast and bird and fish may live and breed. Only
to be taken by sportsmen in a sporting way. Not to
be slaughtered or otherwise pursued to their exter
mination.
For example, it was the Izaak Walton League
'.hat secured the passage of the law last summer to
“stablish a government sanctuary for wild life in the
great Winnishiek Bottoms on the Mississippi river.
Three hundred miles along the great stream stretches
this preserve, in which man may wander, but may
not molest beast or bird or fish. It was and is the
greatest spawning grou,nd in the world for big-mouth
rdack bass. Other fish breed there, and water fowl
and song birds. Many varieties of four-footed things
live there. Others will follow, and out of that effort
will flow the continuity of life essential to the fu
!ure of fishing and hunting. This is but a begin
ning. Other such sanctuaries will follow.
The wilderness north of Duluth haR been saved
by the action of the league. It is the one bit of wild
region still untouched in the whole Mississippi val
ley, and will remain so.
• * •
The “Ikes” are buying hay right now to feed the
oik in Jackson Hole. Otherwise, the last of that
noble animal species is doomed to die from starva
tion. Also, the league is before congress and the
state legislatures, pleading for laws that will restrain
the wanton destruction of game, and keep a few
places where the lover of outdoors can have the
pleasure he seeks in solitudes. An even greater fight
is to stop the pollution of streams and ponds, that
fish may have a chance to live in them.
The program is not selfish. It looks to the fu
ture. Only through such measures will any part of
the wonderful heritage of Americans be spared for
their enjoyment.
The Izaak Walton League has no salaried of
ficers, no paid propagandists. Its work is done by
volunteers, and some of America’s greatest men are
engaged in its service. Outdoor America belongs
to the people, and for them and their children it is to
be saved.
SOMEBODY’S FOOT SLIPPED.
California is noted for many things. In fact, so
many and varied are California’s claims of superior
ity that it had seemed impossible for any Californian
to think up something new to attract attention
thereto. But California is equal to the task. Comes
now word that Dorothy Ellingson, the 16-year-old
girl who murderd her mother, is not a beautiful girl.
This, we believe, Is the first time in history that
such a thing has happened. A young girl uccused
of a crime who Is not ‘‘beautiful,” who is not a
“queen” of something or other, or who is not "charm
ing” or “petite.” Either this Is a new scheme to at
tract attention to California, or somebody’s foot
slipped.
The whole thing Is so unusual that it will excite
widespread comment. It is a situation that can not
last. Before Dorothy goes on trial she will have be
come a ravishingly beautiful young woman. The edu
cational and social graces she ignored while out of
prison will have become fully devloped in prison, and
the first thing we know she will be heralded as the
personification of all the feminine graces whose only
trouble is that she killed her mother in cold blood
because her mother would not let her run wild.
The touch of a policeman’s hand on u young
woman’s arm, and detention in jail for a few wccj^t,
< an accomplish more wonders than all the plastic
surgeons, masseurs, complexion experts and dieti
cians. The only failure chronicled to date is that of
Dorothy Ellingson. But surely that failure will be
corrected in a very short time.
SAD NEWS FOR THE SOB SQUAD.
The governor of Missouri has Imparted sad news
to the Sob Squads scattered here and there through
jut the land. He has served notice that while he is
ifovernor there will be no further glorification and
exploitation of prisoners in the state prison. In re
strained language he voices his disapproval of re
cent happenings in the prison whereby a convict was
allowed to be exploited and idolized by a lot of people
who never pause to give thought to honest artists.
In short, the governor sems to cling to the old
fashioned notion that those who violate I lie law should
be punished as law violators, and not rewarded by
adulation. In this he will be upheld by thousands
1
(
who have grown weary of seeing all the sympathy
showered on criminals, while honest folk are per
mitted to suffer. It is all right to give law violators
another chance, but it is far better to afford better
chances to those who have never violated the laws.
The governor's position will be heartily endorsed by
right-minded people who, like Missouri's new gov
ernor, are wearied of the activities of the Sob
Squad ders.
“NEVER HAD A CHANCE.”
We print today an article by Charles E. Matson,
county attorney of Lancaster county, referring to a
case that is now before the courts in Adams county.
As an officer of the court, and one whose integrity
is beyond question, Mr. Matson will be exonerated in
advance of seeking to prejudge the action of the
court. What he undoubtedly has in mind is to rivet
public attention to the facts in the case.
The boy, 19 years of age, sets up that he “never
had a chance.” He was born and reared in Ne
braska. All his life he was within a stone’s throw
of a schoolhouse. He never was so far away that
he could not hear the sound of the church bell. All
around him on every side w'ere the influences of
civilization. Everywhere before him spread oppor
tunities. Examples of the benefits and advantages
of thrift and industry were before him, wherever he
turned his eyes. Yet he pleads he “never had a
chance.”
He had every chance that Abraham Lincoln had,
or Grant, Rockefeller, Harding, or an innumerable
host of successful Americans. They began on the
farm, at the bottom of the ladder, heirs to hard
work and possessed«of a spirit that did not let them
rest. It was not luck that brought any to the front.
Nor environment. If luck and environment were-to
control, James Charles Dahlman would not be the
popular mayor of Omaha today. He would more than
likely be filling an unmarked grave on “the bound
less prairie.” Many a cowboy of “Jim’s” early life
is resting there, because he believed in luck, and
fancied he did not have a chance.
What the Adams county youth lacked was cour
age, moral and physical. He was coward enough io
mur^& another in cold blood, rather than to get
what ne craved by honest labor. All the world was
before him, full of chances. So many opportunities
are open to the youth of today it is not easy for any
to chose which to take.
Only a coward commits murder, and he makes it
doubly despicable when he pleads in agony that he
never had a chance in Nebraska.
LED BY APRON STRINGS.
Mr. H. G. Wells, annotator of history as well as
forecaster extraordinary, turns* his vision toward
America, only to discover that which causes him
worry. He finds our manhood in great danger, be
cause our boys get their early training from women.
American women, are, according to Mr. Wells, very
impressionable. Easily swayed, influenced by ex
terior things, far from being stable on anything.
Boys, during their plastic years, are under the
domination of women, and, sad for the race, take on
the quality of the effeminate.
Now, if Mr. Wells had based his conclusions on
experience instead of observation, his statement
might be occasion for uneasiness as to the future of
our land. Against his forebodings might be con
trasted the easily demonstrable facts. Almost ever
since we have had schools in our land, we have had
women teachers. Boys have been instructed in the
three "Rs” as well ns in ethics and morals by them.
At home the mothers of the land have givgn their
time to the training of the little lads who look up
to them. These boys, grown to manhood have
matched with the best in Europe, where the mas
culine predominates. Nor have they been so badly
worsted as to justify the whble.-ale condemnation of
our system. Their valor has been tried in the fiercest
crucible of war; in every possible way they have
proved themselves worthy the name of man.
The American boy has learned something else be
cause of being tutored by woman. Something not
easily defined, but might be called gentleness. He
shows it all through life, wherever put. It softens
his existence, and server as a buffer for shocks that
disturb those not so fortified. Mr. Wells’ English
boy, tutored and trained by men, may possess man's
standards, but it may be questioned if he is the
stronger because of that. Unless it be tlmt he is
more self-eentered, less given to consideration of
others, more insistent on his own comfort or desires.
Yet even Englishmen can he generous, chivalrous,
devoted to ideals. Maybe the influence of woman
still is felt, despite the effort to exclude her from the
training of her sons.
We cling with some fondness to the notion that
our boys will not go very far wrong, so long as they
follow the lead of the apron string. Things may not
be done just as some eminent critics or observers
might wish, yet the progress Of the American people
is a pretty fair testimony to the efficacy of the educa
tional system in which women so largely carry on
the work.
SMILE OF A CHILD.
Here is a bit that floats into our office from the
outside world. We do not know who “M. F.” is, but
we do know that the sentiment he or she expresses
is worth the attention of every motorist:
"Listen, Mr. Motorist! Have you ever had this
experience? You came to a corner and noticed a
child, or maybe two or three children, on the side
walk, shout ready to cross the street. Have you
ever thought of the thoughts that might he tur
bulently disturbing the little one's mind? He haa
been told to be eareful In crossing the street, and
been warned of all the dire mishaps that might
occur to him. He has been told also that he must
get to school 011 time. The child stands on the
corner, and when he sees an opening, gets ready to
dash across. Then your car looms up like some
gigantic ogre barring his pathway. The child darts
liack to the curbing, almost ready to cry with
vexation and disappointment, and no doubt with his
heart pounding rapidly. Now Is your rhanre to
prove that you are human! Step on the broke,
throw the clutch out and pet the gear In neutral:
then wave to the child to i«iss across. Immediately
afterward you will have a remarkable feeling of
satisfaction that will mm a-than repay you for the few
* moments that you have lost. There Is something
about a child's smile that can not be measured. In
terms of this world'* goods. M. F.”
Our idea of wasting time on the inconsequential
is counterfeiting Russian money, yet fifty Russians
have been executed for that very thing.

He “Never Had a Chance’
___—-✓ 1
By CHARLES K. MATSON.
County Attorney, Lancaster County.
•‘I've never had a chance!"
This is the lying, whining wail of a
young desperado, caught after a chase
of thousands of miles, and after a plea
of guilty at a preliminary heating at
Hastings, Neb., on a charge of mur
der. as heartless and brutal a murder
as e\er disgraced the criminal annals
of the state.
Donald Ringer. 19 years old, born
and reared In Nebraska and “never
had a chance!" Its mere assertion is
proof of its falsity, but, sad, to say, it
will catch the fancy of the super
sen! imenta list and the superficial
thinker. It’s an effort to blame or
ganized society for his criminal ca
reer. But Nebraska is not to blame,
and I for one. resent the imputation.
Donald Ringer was not reared in
the tenements of a city, or in the
workshops or sweatshop# of the na
tion, or in the mines of north, south,
east or west, but in the great open
spaces of Nebraska where Ood'a sun
shine bathes practically every day,
where the air is pure, where baseball
i.-, the kids' summer pastime and foot
ball the autumn, where good Chris
tian homes prevail and the hovel is
unknown, where churches and Sun
day schools abound, where hearts beat
warm and where practically every
man atal woman stands with arms ex
tended to help the worthy but unfor
tunate, where schools are free and
where it is a criminal offense for a
child between the ages of 6 and 18
years not to attend at least six months
each year, and yet, when caught und
confronted with the penalty for his
crime he cries, "I've never had a
chance!"
• • *
He was committed to the statb's In
dustrial School for Boys, where he
attended Divine worship, where he
was taught discipline dnd where an
attempt was made to stimulate hi*
thoughts and direct his energies
along useful .and lawful lines, lie was
paroled to an Indulgent parent. He
was permitted and encouraged to
lalair in the open lields, and then—
he killed, gruesomely, crushing the
skull of his inoffensive victim with a
hammer that ha might easier steal
his victim's automobile! And yet. he
"never had a chance!” So says Don
aid Ringer, so says Clarence Harrow,
professional defender of professional
criminals, so say Harrow's imitators
who will seek to save Ringer from the
law's penalty, so say the maudlin sen
timentalists. so say tlie unthinking.
Judged by the opportunities the
state afforded Donald Ringer, Chancel
lor Avery of our state university
"never had a chahoe,” Governor Mc
Mullen "never had a chance,” ex-Gov
ernor McKelvie "never had a chance.”
ex-Governor Neville “never had a
chance," and no one of the hundreds
of other native-born men and Women
whose names are proudly written in
the history of the state never had a
chance.
• • •
No, Nebraska Is not to blame be
cause Donald Ringer chose a life of!
crime that leads to the electric chair,
instead of a life of usefulness that
leads to honor and respect. The state
of Nebraska did for him all it could
and should do.
That state of Nebraska will he to
blame, however, if it does not make
an example of Donald Ringer that
will he a deterrent to the next in
grate who is tempted to rob or mur
der rather than engage In honest toll.
Donald Ringer's course from now
on will perhaps he the usual one. The
stage is being set. The actors are
rehearsing their parts. Despite his
confession he'll enter a plea of “not
l
guilty." A Jury will lie impanelled.
Counsel for the defendant will attack
and vlllify the officers. A stranger
dropping Into the courtroom would
surmise that the state's officers, on
whom wo depend for the safety of
our lives and our property, were the
real offenders. If the verdict Is
guilty with the penalty death, almost
interminable appeals will follow. An
unknown and a miserable, thieving
murderer will immediately blossom
into a rtfitinnal character. Printer's
ink will flow from Maine to Califor
nia. Hundreds of dollars will he
donated for his defense and buckets
of tears shed for his fate, hut not one
cent will he contributed for the sup
port of his victim's .widow, not one
tear will be shed for her fatherless
little boy, and not one thought given
for the child yet unborn that will
never know the caress and love of Its
own daddy.
If the sentence he life imprison
ment, then a few brief years behind
prison bars and once more freedom!
Such was the history of Dinstnore,
who murdered his wife and his sweet
heart's husband. Such was the his
tory of Tony Ciarletta, who murdered
while committing a robbery. Such has
been thp history of other Nebraska
murderers.
No, Nebraska is not to blame be
cause it didn't give Donald Kinger a
chance. Nebraska is not to blame lie
cause he did not appreciate what the
state and Its good people did for him.
Nebraska is not to blame because he
did not respect the law. But Nebras
ka Is to blame because be did not fear
the law! Nebraska will he to blame
if it does not make an example of
Donald Kinger that others who are
too lazy to work and who are tempted
to rob anil kill will say: "No, see
whnt happened to Donald Kinger,"
and stay their felonious designs.

Street and Highway Safety
_j
"Accidents are primarily the result
.if ignorance," says the Committee on
education of the Conference on Street
and Highway Safety in its report to
Secretary Hoover, and claims for this
reason that "any rational program
having for Its purpose a reduction of
ihe traffic accident rate presents a
fundamental problem of education.”
Thirty of every 100 persons killed in
street and highway accidents are chil
dren. Nearly C.000 children were
killed last year in motor accidents
alone. Conservation of the lives and
limbs of the children through safety
education therefore becomes a para
mount issue.
The report takes cognizance of the
present dearth of training of edu
cators along safety lines, yet recog
nixes that in some cities stress on
this subject has brought marked re
sults. It also deals at some length
with such questions as the selection
end training of traffic control officers,
traffic experts, drivers employed by
taxicab and bus companies, owners of
large fleets of motor vehicles, the gen
ual public, and the work which can
he done by women’s organizations.
'I'h© recommendations of the commit
tee are, in brief, as follows:
That education in safety and ac
cident prevention he Incorporated
in the curricula of elementary
schools, whether public or private,
parochial schools, private schools,
by the following means: As a
part of the general course in
citizenship: ns subject matter of
other courses; through education
al contests: through organized
school boy patrols and junior safe
ty councils: through use of mo
tion pictures and dramatization:
ami through talks by local traffic
police officers in uniform.
That safety education be carried
on into the secondary schools in
an advanced form.
That preparation for the teach
ing <>f safety in the schools he
developed in normal schools,
teachers’ colleges and universities.
That adequate playgrounds
should be provided, particularly a
playground available for every
school: and that special training
in safety measures he provided for
pin vgroum! supervisors
That engineering schools under
take the training of traffic ex
perts, either by special courses or
by including such instruction in
existing courses.
That standards plans he de
veloped and put into operation in
all communities for the selection
and training of traffic control of
flcer< and that such tra iling be
organized on a state basis or ar
rangements by which small com
I munltie.s can benefit by the op
portunities- of the larger cities
That standardized plans he do
veloped and put into operation for
education in safe driving and ac
cident. prevention of the employes
of steam and electric railways,
employes of taxicab end motor
bus companies and drivers of com
mere!a 1 vehicle fleet*.
That plans he developed for
education in safety of the gen
eral public through newspaper
and mamazine cooperation, post
ers in public places, motion pic
tures and lnntern slides, radio
talks, schools for motorists of
both sexes, safe drivers' clubs,
safety programs or features at
meetings of organizations, the
churches, mass meetings, teach
ing parents through school chil
dren, and special campaigns.
That safety education and ac
cident prevention be Included tn
the programs of women’s organ
izations with special emphasis on
reaching women In their homes.

Modern education, the committee
1 points out, is placing Increasing em
phasis on teaching the child to ro
| operate rather than merely fitting
him to compete Problems of safety
ne closely linked with health, thrift
<nd other elements in the develop
mrnt of better citizenship

report. Safety education has alreadv

the principles of safety may lie in
troduced into the text of such sub

history and nature studies.
The school boy patrol, the oomniy

an.9 ‘‘places lc-fore him vividly the
necessity of being alert and careful
on tho streets.”
The Highway Education board has
dernonst^ted the adaptabilh y of edu
cationai contests among elementary
school pupils, and safety contest lei
sons among the elementary school
teachers, which, the committee points
out, “have drawn virtually every civic
body In a community” into such a
campaign.
As to teaching of safety In high
schools, ‘‘there would lie a distinct
loss,” says the oonphittee, "if the op
portunity were neglected of broaden
ing the conception of safety from m
eident so as to cover moral health,
slnro exactly the same principles ap
ply."
Playgrounds, the reports says, ‘‘pot
only keep tile children off tho streets
during reefdation periods, but also
before and after school hours. Any
thing which will serve to keep the
children of the community off the
streets is an accident prevention
measure.”
. . .
The highest grade of technically
trained men is required to deal with
the traffic problem, and the committee
believes "the time is not far distant
when engineering schools will find it
not onlv desirable hut necessary to
plan an entire curriculum to meet the
needs of those who wish to follow- this
career. A crisis in traffic conditions
has come upon the Ameri an public
unawares and it Is to lie hoped that
engineering, sehooi* will t>e fully
awake to the situation.”

NEBR A SKA.
They always come back to Nebraska,
No matter what distance they roam;
Italy. Chile, Alaska.
Nebraska Is always their home.
They may seek to forget, but they ntever
Can get beyond reach of her call—
They've got to return, for Nebraska they yearn
They simply can't help It, that's all!
They always come back home to greet her;
It's born in the blood and the brawn
Of ev'ry true hearted Bug-Eater,
No matter what distance they've gone.
They may bask 'neath the lazy equator.
Or bathe on a coral-beached isle.
But remain! It's ag'n human natur'
They'll come drifting back aflerwhile.
Thev may fall for the lure of Pacific
And dwell on the coast for a spell;
The Floridan sun soporific
May suit for a time very well.
But sooner or later they're turning
Their faces once more to the west—
Their hearts for Nebraska are yearning:
They're longing for home, and for rest
While selling Nebraska in the outside world, let's sell Ne
braska to Nebraskans. Of all good things Nebraska has the
most; of had things the least. Nebraskans would talk mors
about Nebraska If they knew their state lietter. The better
they know it the more they'll love It. The more they love it
the harder they will work for its development and !>eiterment.
The grouch should he suppressed, the knocker should lie ban
ished and the calamity howler should be ostracized.

No state lias more advantages to advertise to the home
seeker and the homebuilders. A score of state* are advert
ing inferior advantages and getting what Nebraska should
have. What Nebraska geeris is less politics and more favor
aide publicity; less calamity howling and more co-operation.
We rather pride ourselves on knowing ■ th ug or two aliout
Nebraska, and it has lieen our Iov to tell what we know when
ever opportunity offered. No slate in tills blessed union af
fords more or lietier opportunities for the Industrious No
state has made greater strides forward in ihe last quarter of a
century. But great as has been its development, its resource,!
yet undeveloned are l-eyond human comprehension. What it
needs to do is to remove the "Beware the Dog" sign from its
gatepost and replace it with a "Welcome' sign.
Nebraska should at once adopt tbe polio of welcoming men
of brains and capital, of initiative and industry, and quit the
policy of putting a penalty thereon. One of it« greatest needs
is to get rid of tile notion that success > a ' time mid that n iv
business that is big Is- rotten because it is big. It should quit
penalizing thrift and success and paying a premium to in
dolence and ignorance.
"If it is made in Nebraska. Nebraskans should buv it.”
would lie a good motto. Nebraska made sugar. Nebraska-made
confections, Nebraska made flour. Nebraska-made clothing,
Nebraska made machinery, Nebraska-made building materials,
Nebraska grow n fruits—and so on down the long list, lloilars
earned in Nebraska should be s|ietn in Nebraska whenever pos
sible—and it is almost always jioss.Ule.
More civil pride, more loyalty to home Institutions more
f ith in fellow Nebraskan- Nebraska needs then all If she is
to work out her great destiny
Nebraska just "gets In the blood," that's all. Eloquent in
deed is the preai her who can paint heaven in -ueh glowing
colors that it v.ill appear more attractive to Nebraskans than
the good old state in which they live. WILL M. MAL’PIN.
