Discourage Professional Pugilism.

The action OF the house in indefinitely post
poning the bill that was intended to legalize
professional boxing" contests In Nebraska will
be commended by thinking citizens of the state.
Nebraska does not need to add protected
pugilism to its list of attractions Prize fight
ing has been under ban here for many years,
and should be kept there. Boxing a sport or
amusement for amateurs is all very well. and
nothing will be done to hamper its practice, but
the professional boxer is about the most useless
OF all human beings. and should not have even
remote encouragement. The Bee hopes the bill
has been put to rest for good

is impractical TO quote state statistics OF
comparisons. our social life Is predomi-
mated by the influence OF our home life
so all basis OF comparison must be made
on the home life OF any community. All
else is more or less speculative.
From personal observation II is my
opinion that crime IL lessened, saving ca
pacity increased. and earning power
doubled in communities where there is
prohibition. provided the comparison Is
made on the permanent residents OF
state. excluding transients.
Comparison has often been made be-
tween Kansas and Nebraska. Who is to
prove or disprove that we are not getting
permanent good citizens from Kansas
or that an exodus Of had Nebraskans, or
undesirable 'floaters" from other states,
may be pouring into Kansas 10 commit
crimes, the responsibility OF which the
state of Kansas must assume. For ex-
ample, each year Nebraska must make
record of the number OF murders COM
mitted here. Probably. as has been the
case, the vast majority Of these crimes
were the work of temporary residents
tramps or "floaters." and not of the class
who build our homes and make our his
tory. Yet by the deeds OF these unde-
sirables Nebraska gains the unsavory
record Of having more crimes than this
or that state.
The good OF prohibition must be meas
ured by the increase or decrease of trade
to our merchants, bank savings OF our
citizens. and the moral condition Of the
drinking mans home.

president "set his jaw" and refused to accept
or permit any amendment TO his shipping bill.
then the center OF deadlock in the senate. He
failed to drive that measure through by dint of
party pressure. and now finds himself In sup
port of a substitute measure. which has ap-
parently less chance of passing than the bill
that failed. The fact that II was driven through
the house under the party lash. and by applioa-
tion of gag rule, which prevented discussion of
Its provisions, does not commend It to either
element OF the senate that opposed the measure
for which It is substituted. 1t seems that Presi-
dent Wilson is doomed to another disappoint-
ment. and that II relief is TO come to American
shipping through national legislation, II must
be along lines that will appeal to some other

Essay ON
OMAHA. Feb 13-To the Editor OF The

intoxicating liquors. 20 be consistent with
their convictions naturally champion the
assertions that liquor is a destroyer OF

bition naturally and just as ardently de-
fend their belief and boot at the idea Of
any relation existing between liquor and
social conditions.

personal Tits and hate. and engenders a
malignant feeling verging on the thresh-

Omaha, Feb. 15.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: Permit me to correct Mr.. Stein
craus a little in regard 20 his Rev. Sor-
ensen's dispute concerning Schelswig-
Holstein. He states that names OF all
towns in Schlesswig or by right South
Jilland are German names and the inhabi-
tants are of German descent. Where did
Germany become originator OF any
name? Regarding descent he is right
as the same race who in ancient days In
vaded Germany also invaded Denmark,
Norway and Sweden.
He states Schleswig was originally
German territory. How is it then that
Thyra Danetor, queen of Denmark, built
Dsnevikr fortress during her husband

tween SEQ and sS6 to protect Denmark
from southern invasion.
waldemar I'd, called the Victor. con-

that Schleswig is an old Danish state.
Mr.. Steincraus states Germany could
easily have taken the whole of Denmark;

think England, France. Russia. Sweden
and Norway wouldn't have gotten busy?
This present war is fifty years old in
coming. Bismark did the best thing that
ever happened to Denmark in taking
Holstein from same (only my own opin-
ion) as through centuries too much
bloodshed had been for possession Of
the province. Bismarck would have been

citizens OF foreign birth would quit talk

knecht to Germany and less aristocratic
military crazed individuals and an early
end OF the war is my wish.

PORTLAND. Dec. 23-The jury

Not since the day when the Rev.

and evoked a Divine blessing on the
jury has there been such scenes en-
acted as were presented Thursday
forenoon in this tribunal when Lewis
J. Marshall of Lisbon Falls made an
argument in his own behalf. Charged
with abusing the mails in scheme
to defraud women. Mr.. Marshall con-
tinually strayed away from the sub
ject in hand and particularly ar
raigned the officials of the govern
ment. Several Somerset County
women were among the witnesses in
behalf of the Government.
