POLICE HAD NO
CHANCE IN MOB,
SAYS THE MAYOR
Declares He Doesn't Believe
There Were Enough Of
ficers In State to Handle
Situation With Clubs.
' Mayor mith yesterday stated that
he did notlieHeve there were enough
policemen in Nebraska io have dis
persed the mob at the court house,
after 5 p. m., September 28, by the
Use of their clubs.
. He declined to comment on the
conduct of the police department be
fore the time of his arrival, nor
would he say whether the mob
could have been dispersed during
the early afternoon by proper po
lice leadership. I
"Under the law," he said, "the
sheriff, is the custodian of the court
Jiouse and has authority to swear
in as many deputies as necessary
for any emergency."
Saw Door Battered In.
"I reachedVthe court house at 5
p. m., and went inside. I saw the
north door battered in by rioters
who used an old" cannon, andit is
my opinion now that if the police
wculd have fired into the mob at the
north door the police' would have
been justified and the mob would
have been dispersed.
"But it takes a bit of moral courage
to direct police to shoot into a mob
and I confess that I did not have
the courage to order those police to
, shoot when that north door was
battered in.
"It is easy ' enough now to say
what should or might have been
done."- 1 .1
The mayor declined tf comment
on the recent purchase of machine
guns by'the city, or for what pur
pose they" were bought if not for
use in suppressing any similar riots
to that of September 28.
.Won't Tell Experiences.
Mayor Smith asserted that he will
not relate his. own experience when
. attacked by the mob. He stated that
he has received at leasts requests
from magazines, offering to pay for
his story. -
"I have not even told my wife of
the experience I went through," he
added. . i t ,
"After J went into the courl
house 1 obtained a revolver from
the sherff's office and fired it many
times" inside of the court house.
When I started to leave the build
ing about 9:40 someone took the re
volver from me."
'''- Visits Court House.
' Mayor Smith yesterday visited the
court house for the first time since
his "visit" on Sunday night, Septem
ber 28, and went before the grand
jurv.
He looked with particular interest
at the bullet-marked walls and ceil
ings and recalled vividly the night
when the inside of the, court house
reverberated with the sounds of
shotguns and 'revolvers.
He remembered when a man fired
a double-barreled shotgun into the
north door of the court house and
the sound of the shot against the
walls caused policemen to take
. rover. .The tnavor on that occasion
was -on the second floor, he related f

The Importance of
Early Shopping for
Christmas
VFArnc
A1C
fzi FOR CROWING OHAMA
ONLY a few days ago a cus- '
tomer visited our hard
ware department in the base
ment. Her eye caught' our,
beautiful display of aluminum
household utensils. She stopped
at the aluminum electric per
colators and she selected one
, from the counter and placed it
on the opposite counter, icn
she selected two more and
placed them along side of the
first and she stood back and
looked at all three.
It was the judgment of the
salesperson that she was mak
ing a comparison and she was
asked which-one she preferred
and she said, "Well, I guess I
will take all three." Of course,
the Salesperson couldn't im
mediately realize what use she
would have for three percola-
tors, especially at this time of
the year and so she was pressed
for information and the custo
mer's explanation was, '
"Well, seeing that you are -so
nice about asking me I will
tell you. I . bought these for
Christmas presents. There are
not many people who have
stopped to realize that Christ
mas is but seven weeks away,
and as long as I have Christ
mas gifts to buy and knowing
something of market condi- ,,
tions, I realize the advantage I
hare of shopping now."
This customer's logic was
not only very reascnable, but
also very True, for
Shopping for, Christmas
Must Be Done Unus
ually Early This Season-
This is imperative to those who J.
wish to avert disappointments.,
Heretofore, the reason for early
holiday shopping has been
quite obvious this "year there''
is a more impelling reason 1
The Shortage of
Merchandise
This store's great merchan
dising supremacy and all its
merchandising powers have
been bent on meeting with the
greatest degree of adequacy
popular demand.
We Have Ready Now
Thousands and Thous
ands of Dollars' Worth
of Staple Christmas
Merchandise Which We
Bought Months Ago
Bought many weeks before th
usual FalJ market and as a re
sult our stocks are complete
and our pUces in many in
stances are below present mar
ket prices on the same class of
merchandise.
It is no secre-t that this
thousands and thousands of
dollars worth of staple mer
chandise cannot be replaced to-'
day at the prices for which it
was purchased.
We have had instances of
offers from manufacturers to
buy back at our retail price
the merchandise which they
sold us.
All this merchandise is
priced on the basis of our early
purchases, saying nothing of
the quality advantages, we of
fer. We feel that the public has .
been informed of the na
tion's urgent need for in
creased production in most
every line. The tetter things"
are scarce. Yet in spite of all
these difficulties most every
dollar's worth of merchandise -j
we have in our stocks today is
in quality up to the high stand- . N
ard our customers expect of us.
Be assured also that no matter
how little, yon pay at Brandeig
Stores yon will get quality and
satisfaction. N
, y
If we cared to take up your
time we could give you a page
of examples of how prices have
advanced in the merchandise
we have to offer you since we
bought it.
