abolished. But in all the legislatures
the field for the lobbyists activity has
been immensely narrowed. His very

lawyers to correct any mistakes they
may make through ignorance of the
law?

idleness on every street corner. Every
evening we see young hoodlums smoking
cigarettes on the corners when they should
be at home. A law making work as well
as education compulsory would not be
bad thing. In this section OF the country
there is much more danger from the habit
of idleness than from overwork. Drastic
measures are necessary to protect children
from the sweat shops of the east, but
there are very few who are hurt by over
work here in Nebraska, especially in the
smaller towns and rural districts.
