THE NEW FREEDOM

In commenting on Governor Wilson's new book
The New Freedom" The Evening Telegram says:
We told that Mr.. Wilson, president.elect
has just sent TO press a book with the title,
New Freedom" in which he restates his creed.
1t is described "A systematized statement of
Governor Wilson's political ideas applied to
affairs of the present day"
OF course, We all will be glad to get that
book, but the thought steals in that Mr.. Wilson
may take a little bit of risk in putting out
that book just at this time.
The good book tells us:
Let not him that girdeth in his harness
Boast himself as he who putteth it off"
1t is quite possible that Presldent-elect Will
son may change his mind in the next few months
many serious points, and that the New Free
dom" which he pictures now may have flaws, and
that he may be forced to say, Man has often
been sorry for what he has published, but seldom
for what he has failed to publish" However, we
give the presdentelect the benefit of all doubts,
and hope that when he enters upon his Office he
will be more than Democratic president more
than wise staesman-that he will be a real
seer.
WE'LL now, it would be nothing new for Coy
ernor Wilson to write things he will not stand by.

and girls Of Princeton that the initiative and ref

His plan is to conduct, with the aid
of detail Of Omaha detectives, an in

McClaughry is convinced some one
familiar with the Moore family and
takes little stock in the theories which
attempt to link the tragedy with SINH

The man was one who knew the
family, knew their habits and the ar
rangement of the house." said Nc
Claushry. Everything goes to show
he first murdered the two Stillinger
girls down stairs and then went up

evidence from several witnesses, most

brought out that Mr.. Moore had no
