National Health Crusade.

Much is to be said in favor of the
proposal to make the determined war
fare against tuberculosis national
affair, for unquestionably the federal
government can accomplish great good
in checking abuses such as the inter
state traffic of, dairy supplies which
are found to be infected. And the
efficiency Of the Red Cross in this par
ticular crusade will undoubtedly be
quickened and strengthened by gen.
eral legislation. aaE rt j.
But after all, the responsibility of
the individual must be collectively in
voked if tuberculosis or any other foe
of the race is to be successfully at
tackled The personal equation cannot
be escaped, in this or in any matter,
and all the efforts of the Red Cross
and government would be neutralized
If each family did not follow the pre-
cepts which science disclosed and legis-
lation interpreted.
The government can only direct,
like a general in the field. On the
loyalty and unity of the privates de-
pend the battle, If there is to be
effective support of any national
health crusade there can be no evasion
of private responsibility nor any in
vasion of self-rellance.

The Case Against Omaha

Governor Shallenberger fr at
the allegations against the city ,ls
OF Omaha, made by the ant ION
league, are not sustained by the facts.
Following this announcement the gov
ernor solemnly adjures the citizens Of
Omaha that they must obey the law,
that it's provisions will be enforced and
that it's penalties will be visited upon
anyone who offends against 1t.
In this there is nothing to which
anybody will take exception. The only
possible cause for complaint is the in
nuendo to the effect that Omaha citi-
zens habitually do not obey the law,
and that they are in need Of the execu-
tive admonition in order to keep them
straight. This covert insult to the cit
izenship of Omaha is part of a cam
paign that has been carried on with
deliberate purpose for many months.
Omaha has been persistently set up as
a place where the law is defled and de-
rided and where decency has no abid-
ing refuge These charges have been
made publicly and privately, in the pull
pit and in the press, until the good peo-
pie OF Omaha, despairing of any cor
rect statement being made, have come
to abide the slander with what patience
they may.\ Now that the governor has
finally listened to the charges and tes-
timony intended to support the accu-
sations, and has found that the case
was not made, It is time to challenge
the slander, and Omaha people are
deeply concerned and are vitally inter
ested in the maintenance of law and
order. 1t is neither possible nor de-
sirable that all agree on just what the
law should be. But the law when
passed is a concrete expression of the
will of a majority of the citizens of Ne
braska, and citizens of Omaha are also
citizens of Nebraska and recognize
fully their amenability to these laws.
1t is not required that we have the
special guardianship of persons from
the outside. nor that we be chastised
or chidden from time to time by the
governor of the state, in order to re-
mind us of the duty we owe to the
state and to ourselves. 1t is impossi-
BILE in a community the size of Omaha
to maintain the orderly peace and quiet
of the country village. 1t is no more
possible to prevent absolutely the sale
of liquor contrary to law in Omaha than
1t is to stop the crimes of murder, ar
son or robbery, or any other infraction
OF the law. But the officials can, they
have and they will do their utmost to
secure the enforcement of the law and
the punishment of its violators, and in
this they will have the support of all
good citizens of Omaha, regardless of
party aflliation or religious connection.

Promise of Congress.

During the short time 1t has been
in session before taking it's Christmas
holiday congress has adopted pace
which promises we'll. Instead of de-
voting the early weeks to marking
time both houses have gained head
way. The program of legislation has
been taken up with willingness and
spirit, indicating continuous progress
when proceedings shall be resumed.
Thus far the session has been one
of remarkable unity, and so complete
has been the devotion of the members
to the work outlined that no oppor-
tunity for interference has been af-
forded. In every body the minority
faction has it's value in forwarding
the transaction of business, and what
ever the present minority can do in
the way of expediting legislation will
be welcomed, but obstructive policy
from any source will simply arouse
public condemnation.
So gratifying to the people is the
promise thus far made by congress
that there will be general disappoint-
ment II the administrative program is
not carried with the same deliberate
devotion and business-like method to
successful conclusion.
