Responsibility of Communities.
A damage suit in the Douglas county district
court bat directed mention to an overlooked
tcction of the Nebraska law that was patted to
give effect to the prohibitory amendment adopted
by the itate, and which became effective
five years ago. A great deal of water ha run
under the bridge since then, but the law ttitl
atandi as it was enacted by the legislature of
1917. Section Si of chapter 187 of the Session
Laws of 1917 provides:
Every person, married woman, minor or
other person under legal dlsubillty. who shall
be Injured In his, her, or their proporty. per
son or support. In consequence, in whole or
in part, of the intoxication of any person, and
shall be able- to prove that the mayor of tlit
city, or chairman and board of trustees of the
village, or the county attorney or the county
board of the county, or In metropolitan cities
and In cities of the flint class, that the city
eontmlMilonrrs were not endeavoring; In good
faith to enforce the liquor laws of this state
and the provisions of this act. and the city
ordinances or village ordinances, or rules or
orders of the commissioners, If any, in refer,
ence thereto; and that such officials had actual
notice or knowledge that Intoxicating liquors
were being unlawfully sold, kopt for sale, bar
tered, furnished or given away in the county,
city or village In question, or In the absence
of such notice or actual knowledge, that such
offlcisls could by the uhs of reasonable dili
gence have obtained such notice or knowl
edge; shall have a right of action, et seq.
The section is very comprehensive, and the
judge before whom the case is presented has held
it good to the extent that he has permitted the
implication of the City of Omaha as a party to
the defense. The saving clause for the commun
ity rests in the proof that must Je submitted by
the plaintiff. It must be shown that the authori
ties are negligent, lacking in good faith, and fail
ing to exercise due diligence in the pursuit of the
illegal traffic. This will be for the jury to decide.
The purpose of the law is obvious, that of
keeping the authorities keenly alive to the busi
ness of enforcing the prohibitory amendment to
the state constitution. It has nothing1 whatever
to do with the national law, or the efforts to en
force prohibition under that. . Some question
may arise, as already some have come up, as to
where state or national control shall be applied.
Confusion exists as to this, and, until courts have
formulated definite rules governing the mooted
points, enforcing officers will be at a loss tjs to
how to proceed.
That the communities are at the peril of
being required to defend damage suits, with the
consequent liability of being called on to make
settlement with a damaged litigant, may serve
to stimulate public sentiment in support of the
quest for bootleggers. : , 1 r
' Backing Up the Budget.
When Director of Budget Dawes made his
report to the president, in response to a demand
from Representative Byrns of Tennessee for a
showing as to what is being dons, he exhibited
a prospective reduction in governmental expense
for the 1922 year of $1,600,000,000 under the 1921
cost.' This was challenged by Mr. Byrns, who
accused the director of budget of having pur
posely and wickedly juggled the figures in order
to deceive the public. Perhaps the Treasury de
partment is in on the conspiracy, too, but its re
port on the first ten months of the year backs up
General Dawes in fine shape. Figures given out
on Wednesday show that for the first ten months
of the fiscal year ordinary expenditures of the
government fell off by nearly $1,500,000,000 from
the record of the first ten months of the 1921 year.
This requires by little over $100,000,000 for May
and June to reach the Dawes total, or about a
third of the monthly rate of saving so far effected.
Transactions" the public debt indicate a falling
off in treasury certificates, which means the
country is rapidly getting back to a cash basis.
Here is another source of democratic consola
tion rapidly drying up. They are deprived of
their customary charge of republican extrava
gance, for the Harding administration has
actually reduced the cost of running the government,'-:.
' ' " Our President''
The nun or woman who sees the capitol at
Washington for the first time almost invariably
is impressed by the majesty, the power, the glory
of "my country." The great dome reaching sky
ward typifies his thought architecturally; the in
numerable associations of this scene with great
events of history completes it. Hardly a man or
woman but is thrilled by the thought that here
centers the .authority of governmental direction
over one hundred million people; here the ideals
of this people are fused into a common ideal and
this focused to practical purpose; here has been
developed and still is developing the world's great
est "experiment in democracy."
It is indeed "my country" and few there are
who do not glory in it.
At the other end of Pennsylvania avenue is
the White House and there lives the president
In so far as any individual can personify the na
tion, he does. He is chosen by vote of its people,
a thing, when it was conceived, which was, sym
bolic of the transition of authority from "rule by
divine right" to rule by the people themselves.
He is "my president," "our president" ' Once
elected, he represents us, the United States, in
the eyes of the world.

Omaha's Live Stock Rates.
Omaha is the natural market for the products
of Nebra.kt farms anj ranches. The contention
of the livt ifotk growers that freight rate 04
the Burlington railroad should bt lowered on
shipment of rattle and hog to the Omaha mar
ket I barked by public opinion.
Tht complication that i now before rrprt
tentative of tht Interstate Commerce commit-
tioh and the Nebraska Railway commission
arises out of a singular solicitude for the stock
) arc's Interests of St. Joseph and K trust City,
At a result stockmen along the Burlington lines
and branches from Lincoln and Aurora to At
llanre have been forced to pay heavier shipping
charges to Omaha than have those shipping over
the Northwestern or Union Pacific. This hat
operated to reduce the volume of bu.ineis com
ing to Omaha and encouraged shipment to the
two Missouri point.
Back in 1907 the Nebraska legislature passed
the Aldrich law, which reduced rates on agri
cultural commodities 15 per cent within the state.
This struck the other Missouri river markets as
discriminatory, and their complaint resulted In
the official decision that no railroad could charge
more than 6 cents a hundred pounds additional
for carrying rattle past Omaha to Kansas City or
St. Joseph. The Burlington was the only system
involved in this regulation, since it hss the only
line covering both states.
Instead of reducing its rate to the competing
cities, the Burlington increased its Omaha tariff.
The Union Pacific and Northwestern continued
at the old scale. Stock shippers along these two
systems can get to Omaha considerably cheaper
than can those shipping from the same points
or the same distance over the BurNngton.
This is the esse that is now being reopened.
There has been a continual loss to every Ne
braska interest. The Omaha market has suf
fered, the shippers have suffered, and the rail
road itself has lost traffic to its competitors. The
contention of the Burlington's lawyers that the
Other Nebraska roads should raise their Omaha
rates in order to save it from the disadvantage
of its own act Is matter for grim laughter.
Why They Need America. '
A selfish and at times sordid Europe, whose
every geographical line tells of purposes con
summated wherein human rights played little
part and wherein . national greed was the
dominant impulse, calls again upon America for
help, this time at The Hague. "We need Amer
ica's unselfish interest, her great moral force," it
says.
For what purpose and in what cause?
Omahans recall a speech here by Woodrow
Wilson in 1916 when he said that America should
not and could not join in the European war
then raging until she was certain of its causes
and the aims of its participants. Later America
went to war for reasons and with aims of its
own. After it was over, President Wilson went
to Versailles. When we consider, the result of
that journey we wonder whether, even then, he
knew the aims of the nations with whom he
dealt. Do we know them today? Is this appeal
for our "moral influence" sincere? Will our in
fluence be heeded? Or are we wanted simply
to bolster and finance selfish aims of ambitious
politicians? . .
When America issued invitations to its own
arms limitations conference, it begged the aid of
no "moral influence." It outlined a job that
needed doing, outlined it definitely and clearly,
It called together those who had it in their power
to do the job. The whole world applauded the
result. , ' . ' '
Is Europe ready to proceed that way? ' Has
it suffered enough to forego selfish interests and
really join hands in a directed united effort for
common benefit?
That is the question before Mr. Harding and
Mr. Hughes today,
Verdict of the Primaries. ,
Anything is encouraging to a democrat these
days.- That i"s why Judge Hull pretends to ex
tract great satisfaction from the nomination of
Albert J. Beveridge for the senatorial seat in
Indiana and likewise from the victory of Gifford
Pinchot in Pennsylvania. If he can twist the
nomination of a republican into a rejbuke for the
administration, he is certainly a wizard. Reac
tionaries are rejected, is the shout, but these
critics are overlooking or ignoring the fact that
the attorney general of the United States was
the Roosevelt leader in Ohio, a plunging "bull
mooser," just as Beveridge was in Indiana and
Pinchot in Pennsylvania. When the people begin
to replace republicans with democrats in con
gress, it will be time to talk about the repudia
tion of the administration. , Judge Hull can not
have forgotten what hapened to Woodrow Wil
son in 1918, and so his present pretentious clamor 1
of glee lacks sincerity. It is no calamity for the
nation when one republican is selected to succeed
another. ' , .
Norway is modernizing its radio station on
the mountain near Bergen and expects to open
wireless telegraph communication with America.
More interesting just now are the radio' tele
phone connections between that stafion and Eng
land and continental countries. Its radius will
be 1,000 miles.
South Dakota's tax of 1 cent a gallon on
gasoline brought in $26,000 in April. State- of
ficials expect to take in $450,000 a year from this
source, all without any heated objection that was
heard when a similar impost was proposed In
Nebraska.
Samuel Untermeyer thinks Harry Daugherty
is unfitted for the high office of attorney general.

tificate for himself, were he to apply to Mr.

Announcement that an Indestructible golf
ball hue been perfected has caused no Utile ex
citement among golfers. Hitherto golf balls
have suffered tremendously under the vicious
assaults of gentlemen afflicted with what la
athletically known as a "peeve." Golf balls have
been hammered with relentless fury. Sometimes
they have been hammered straight down into
the ground snd sometimes they have been ham
mered orr among trees and sandbanks snd
mnrasMes and other undesiruble places. At any
rate, they have been hummered.
Kince th rubber-cored innovation various at
tempts have ben mude with ucces to Increase
the length of' flight uml the truoneas of roll
by changing the core and the hurdness and
toughness of the cover. In some cases the wind
ing was about a sniull bug of water, while in
others the central sack was filled with a heavy
acid, the lutter plan proving disastrous to the
eyes or several inquisitive boys who disHected
the globule.
Another plan for Increasing the efficiency of
the golf ball was the application of an everlast
ing paint made of some, rubber composition
which lasted well enough, but gathered dd the
dUHt, which could not be washed oil. Heretofore
resiliency and durability have proved somewhat
incompatible. But if the Innovation of 1922
proves to be both lively and llfclonir. the future
golfer will need nothing but a self-retrieving at
tachment to make one golf ball last him forever.
Developing Boys.
From the Sioux rtUj Ariua.
Where two or three boys are gathered to.
gether there is the start of a ball game. It mat
ters not that an alley, a street, backyard, is all
that is available. The rules are adjusted to suit
the conditions. The American boy holds a mas
ter's degree in accommodating himself to circum
stances.
One who observes the efforts of small boys
in playing ball amid such restricted surroundings
can not repress a regret that better facilities for
play are not afforded. Yet those who make the
best of what they have are learning a valuable
lesson. thouKh they may not be aware of it. The
small b'oy who is able to play in the confines of
an alley ana get a lot or fun out of it is imbib
ing instruction in the philosophy of getting
something out of life wherever life finds him.
He should have a better place to play but a
wider space might make less demand on his in
genuity. Thus there are lessons to be learned
in cramped quarters for the boy who is alert
And tne right kind or, a boy who learns to
make tho best of an alley will be the kind who
will make the most of his circumstances in later
life and he is not likely to be satisfied with an
alley when he, pets old enough to work for him
self in the most serious game of life. -
Fads and Taxation.'
From tht Rock Iiltnd Arpu.
Those who protest asrainst high taxes mav
have had more to do with making them high
.than they imagine. This is an age of fads and
reform. We are anxious to do so many things
to correct our neighbors and to elevate the race
that we advocate this and that without any
thought of the cost. We meet and solemnly re
solve that the life of the community demands
that this or that be done until we find the cost
of maintaining city and national government has
risen to a figure that paralyzes the average man
with astonishment. Then there goes up a wall
which reaches high heaven and every one for
gets all about the things deemed necessary a
short time before, and the whole community
spends its time denouncing mibllo officials for
making taxes so high. If we paid more attention
to" the conduct or government from day to day
we would have lesrr occasion to spend our time
walling because we have to pay for the very
things we are responsible for.
Silences Radio Buzz.
Chicago Another device for eliminating the
buzzing in radio and of operating the wireless
sets by attaching them directly to lighting wires
through an ordinary socket instead of using ex
pensive storage batteries, has been perfected
by B. P. Mieffner, a government expert during
the war, he announced the other day,
The radio is attached to any 110-volt al
ternating current through the ordinary light
socket, Mr. Mieffner said. In place of rectifiers
and filters now used in attempts to eliminate
the hum, Mr. Meirfner uses balancing devices.
The electrio current in the light wires is stepped
down to six volts. ,
Mr. Mieffner formerly was connected with the
army and navy aircraft department and assisted
John Hays Hammond In perfecting a radio tor
pedo during the war. Devices which are said to
obtain the same result as Mr. Mieffner's are said
to have been perfected by the government re
cently, but details have not been made public.

That which makes tooth substance
