sary increases in capacity. And
those who are able are quite
ready to furnish the capital, pro-
vided they can be certain of pro-
lection against loss or risk.
Business has had a ducking,
but is drying off and is ready
and eager to take a fresh start.
The volume of business at this
time, although large because the
country is so vast, is not half so
great as it ought to be or as it
could be. 1t is high time for all
of us to wake up to a realization
of the fact that we are in compe-
tition with other countries, who
are striving for supremacy.
Why discourage honest, sincere
movements which are intended
to maintain fair equilibrium
as to the rights of all classes of
people; or those intended to pre-
vent oppression or wrong; or
such as may furnish full and
equal opportunity to every one
honestly and properly to advance
his own welfare and interests?
THE PEOPLE of a nation
1 prosper or fail together; the
unnecessary destruction of one
or of a few adversely affects
the whole body; and, while
the application of the principles
of good morals is of the highest
Importance, the man whom it is
sought to influence by these con-
siderations lends an unwilling
ear unless, at the same time, his
material wants are satisfied.
There is placed upon those in
power and authority at the pres
ent time very great response
bility. No doubt they will meas
ure up to it. What l have said
has not been uttered with any
feeling of dependency. On the
contrary, there is ground for
optimism. We have, perhaps,
been more or less enveloped in
clouds of doubt and distrust and
hesitancy, but l think we are
now approaching the dawn of
the greatest prosperity.
Omaha daily bee., 1914-03-22

prosperous; why we are not
more stable in prices and values
and in general conditions; why
there is ever any disposition on
the part of any one to interfere
with the normal development of
American industries.
l venture the assertion that it
is largely because of much un-
necessary agitation and ill-con-
sidered criticism by those who
have not the nations best inter
ests at heart. There is too much
demagogy, too much mud-sling-
ing. The man out of Office criti-
cises the one in Office, and the
one in Office in turn seeks to
advance his own interests regard
less of the effect upon all others.
IN many public speeches, and in
magazine articles, the authors
are influenced by motives of self
ishness or cupidity. Appeals are
made for the purpose of creating
a feeling of dissatisfaction and
unrest when it is unnecessary
and unjustified. 1t is not un-
common in public discussions to
treat success as an offense; to
consider the possession ofwealth,
however honestly acquired, to
be wrong. Legislation calcu-
lated to create classes is urged
persistently; also laws to impose
unnecessary and unreasonable
burdens; to take forcibly from
one something which he has and
is entitled to have, and turn it
over to another; to prevent or to
lessen the success of legitimate
enterprise and endeavor.
Capital, always timid, has been
seriously affected by this hys-
terical agitation and attack. In
deed, it is becoming frightened.
Confidence has been shaken. 1t
is becoming almost impossible
to secure, on fair terms, on good
security and at a reasonable rate
of interest, the necessary capital
to equip or literally maintain
going and successful properties,
to say nothing of the additions
and extensions which the inter
ests of this great and growing
country demand.

ANOTHER JOLT FOR THE NEW
MUNICIPAL COURT ACT

MUNICIPAL COUkI Az
States Attorney Maclay Hoyne
has added another attack to the
storm of protest which has greeted
the efforts of Harry Olson, chief JUS
tice of the Municipal Court, to sneak
over the new Municipal Court plan.
The plan has been denounced as
the most vicions plan ever put to
voters. Public officials, attorneys,
trades unionists and all classes have
denounced it since Olson first
brought it up.
Hoyne adds to his first attack on
the plan by pointing. out some. new
dangers.
'It may be stated generally that
under the proposed act the powers
given to the judges of the Municipal
Courts are greater than the powers
given to the Supreme Court, the Cir
cult, Superior, County and Criminal
Courts, and some of the powers are
greater than were ever given to any
court on earth since the days of the
inquisition in the star chamber" ac-
cording to Hoyne. ..

there should be prosecution.

Under said Section Sc, when the
states attorney after investigation
attempted to dismiss prosecution
which had been instituted by some
irresponsible person, because he did
not believe the facts warranted prose-
cution, any Municipal Court judge, if
he disagreed with the states attor-
ney, might appoint the informant
or his attorney as special states at
torney to carry on the prosecution.
Every lawyer for a collection
agency, seeking to collect a debt, who
had charged the debtor with being
guilty of obtaining money under false
pretenses, might, if he could find
friendly judge, become special
states attorney. Any citizen under
this section, however innocent, may
be harassed, embarrassed and even
prosecuted by his enemy or unfriend-
ly neighbor for purely personal rea-
sons. The section, while authorizing
a Municipal Court judge to appoint
special states attorney if the regular
states attorney is disqualified from
acting, fails to point out what would
constitute a disqualification. Any
Municipal Court judge can play poll
tics under this section.

sELF-DIsGRAcED OFFICIAL

Former State Treasurer o. v. Al
len has entered upon his term in the
penitentiary and stands guilty of the
charge of embezzling $70,354.68 OF
state funds. The investigation, as
carried out by Governor John M.
Haines and the Republican state cen
trail committee, brought matters 20
a speedy climax, and while the dis
covery of Aliens defalcation proved
a painful shock to hundreds of init
mate friends, it did not for an in
slant swerve the governor and other
state officials from pursuing a rigid
course in the matter.
He was arrested Wednesday week
on the complaint of Governor Haines,
waived preliminary hearing Thursday,
appeared in district court, pleaded
guilty to the charge Of embezzlement.
waived all statutory rights, and after
brief but pointed exchange of words
between his attorney and County At
torney Givens, he was sentenced by
Judge Bryan to the heaviest term
possible under the Idaho statutes,
which is five to ten years.
It is now believed that the amount
of the shortage in which he is impli-
Gated may run about $93.112.O3.

the local paper gives from $500 to
$1,000 in free lines to the commu-
nifty in which it is located. No other
agency can or will do this. The edi-
