pie public opinion will not support

pie public opinion will not support
any extensive regulation,pf them.
For this reason" saNs Mr.. Kuy-
kendall, 1T may be questioned
whether an excessively stringent
censorship of moving pictures will
be enforceable, even if it were de-
sirable. 1t may also be questioned
whether a campaign against the use
lof tobacco can be successfully
launched. Some motion pictures
are unquestionably harmful TO the
moral health of the public. The use
of tobacco by the growing youth is
harmful to the physical health OF
the nation. Public sentiment will
probably support the elimination of
the clearly immoral and suggestive
motion picture. 1t will support the
prohibition of the use of tobacco
by boys. Beyond this the public
sentiment will not go, because it has
not been made clear that the public
health of body and mind is seriously
threatened by these things as it was
threatened by the liquor habit.
1T is likely that the effort to
start a crusade along these lines,
conceding that it would be desirable,
would be a complete waste of effort.
The same effort expended in con-
structive work looking toward the
voluntary regulation of habits which
at the worst are only mildly in
furious to the public health will ac-
complish much more than will a
new crusade for their prohibition"

Wood Urges "Good Citizens"
to Aid Returning Soldiers

Chicago, Feb. 23.-Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood in a Washington's
birthday address appealed to good
citizens" to look after the interests
of returning soldiers. He said many
soldiers and sailors could not be
blamed for feeling bitter when they
were unable to find work. Some, he
said, had actually been reduced 20
beggary.
THE lowest type Of person is the
man or woman who preys upon the
returning soldier or sailor, and robs
or swindles him out of whatever
he has" Major General Wood said.
"Yet such as these are the ones
who have extended the welcome
while our good citizens have remain
ed apathetic."

CORDIAL MAKES
DEFENSE OF BILL
ON CIVIL CODE
Employees at State House
May Be Transferred From
One Department to
Another.
From a staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Feb. 23,- (SpeciaL)--
State Senator ]. f. Cordial has Civ
en- out a lengthy statement defend.
ing the civil administrative code bill
which Gov. S. r. McKelyie has
asked the legislature to enact and
which provides for reorganization
of state government.
The bill merely provides, Senator
Cordial says, that the affairs Of the
state be administered under the d.
rection Of six departments and does
not represent a radical departure
such as is evidently feared by a
large number of Nebraskans. This
duties of the different state depart
ments will not be greatly different
under the code bill than at present.
Senator Cordial says in his state@
ment.
1t is the rewritten administrative
code bill of the state of Illinois, Cbr1
deal declares.
Work Longer Hours.
The bill provides that employed
can be transferred from any one
department to another where their
services may be more urgently needs
ed at some particular time, Senator
Cordial says. 1t requires all ems
ployes to work from $3.50 in thu
morning until $50 in the evening"
including the secretaries of the six
- finance, agricultural
labor, trade and commerce, public
welfare and public work. Each
secretary will receive $4,000 a year,
One change which the bill pros
vides over present methods is alkfee9
and funds collected by the different
departments must be paid directly
into the state treasury without de$
duction of operating expenses Of the
bureaus. Some of the departments
now use their fees to conduct the
affairs of the office and pay in to the
treasury only the balance left.
Senator Cordial, in his statement
outlines the different activities of the
departments as previously outlined
by the digest of the code bill.
Senator Cordial said that an elab4
crate method had been devised so
that all laws passed by the present
session can be made to fit in with
the provisions of the civil adminis-
trative code law

COLORED BISHOPS AGAIN

Bishop Thrkie favors the election of
colored bishops in the Methodist Episcopal
Church and we quite agree with him. If
however it is his idea to elect colored bish-
ops to preside over colOred conferences ex-
clusively then we differ on the subject as
widely as is the East from the West If
one thinks there is heaven for white folks
and different heaven for black folks then
such a prescription would be right and
proper, but if all are going to the same
heaven then such a prescription should not
be tolerated. Why should colored bishops
not be permitted to preside over white con-
ferences the same as white bishops over
colored conferences. Whoever is qualified
to be bishop in the Methodist Episcopal
Church is fully qualified to preside over a
white conference the same as a cOlOred con-
Ference and if he is not it was fagrant
mistake to have elected him. IF cOlored
bishops are to only preside over coored con-
ferences then it would be a thousand times
better for the white Methodist members
to vote to exclude all colored persons from
membership in that body and thereby for
ever settle the disturbing question. A house
divided against itself will fall and as
Lincoln said, cit is impossible for this coun-
tr to be half free and half slave so will it
be impossible for the Methodist Episcopal
Church to prosper with divided house On
the black man.

THANKSGIVING DAY

On Thursday next, so says the text, the
nation must pray, as it's Thanksgiving day
TO Him wei raise our voice in praise. for
life and health and plenty Of wealth, which
we've enjoyed while daily employed in
digging the ground to make the world go
round. But one thing do before you chew,
remember the Light, too proud to fight, who
kept out of war, that was raging afar, till
second term chair fell in his lair, but
forced to fight got out the plight, to make
the race, the White House to grace with
third presidential term, because he failed
the world to hail that he might ride on the
topmost side, that he could show, which way
to 60, to dodge the bumps and escape the
nmps that's found in the middle Of the
road. But Uncle Sam bucked at the presi-
dental muck and "turned the rascals OUT
which tied his hands with Republican bands,
so he can not sign, his treaty sublime until
the wrongs of the European throngs arc
safely protected by men honestly elected.
When next we pray for Thanksgiving day

WANT A SEPARATE STATE

For the United States government to at
tempt to maintain state for the exclusive
occupancy of colored persons is to our mind
the height of folly, the advocacy Of the same
by notable colored men and women to the
contrary Notwithstanding. The scheme as
has been presented to Congress is for this
government to purchase stretch of ter
ritory some 500 miles square from the Mexi-
can government and set it up as one Of the
states Of this union, but peopled with the
present colored population of the various
states. Such an undertaking would be
failure before it ever begun The colored
people themselves would refuse to migrate
thither because they would realize the ex-
treme privatons that would result there.
from. IF on the other hand sufficient num-
Der would 90 to guarantee success then it
would be but short time before they
would clammor either for independence
or be badly divided in opinion as to
whether the state would remain a part Of
the Z. s. A.. or annex itself to Mexico. all
of which would bring about endless
trouble. Finally by what constitutional right
could the government officials prevent white
folks from emf grating to that state the
same as black folks? And if the white
folks were prevented from living in that
state would not like effort be made to
prevent colored folks from living in the
other states of the Union in the most of
which the colored folks now own millions
of dollars worth Of property? Would the
government. pay them for their property and
business9 And if it did So what would pre-
ent such colored folks from going to any
country they might have the inclination to
emigrate9 A long story short the whole
scheme is nothing short of fairy tale the
:.,nmagination of a disordered mind
TO our mind the colored man of this
country is here to stay Just as long as does
the white man, the troubles and misunder.
standings Of the two to the contrary not
withstanding. When the colored man fully
accepts the white mans civilization, he will
then be fully prepared to be initiated into
full citizenship and when initiated the spirit
of do unto others you would have them
do to you will force the white man to ac-
cept him as full fedged citizen. Time is
a great healer of all differences and it is
making herculean efforts to heal the diff
ferences between the white and colored
citizens of this country. The colored mans
life of this country is so interviewer with
that of the white mans that it would re-
ouire the intervention of the Creator of
both to separate them. Six millions of the
twelve million colored folks of this coun-
try are as much white as they are black and
MANY of them have no desire to be driven
off to separate state. Even the Indians
objected to such a procedure and it has
taken standing army to keep them on the
reservations set apart for them. Dam
