MAKE TINE LAW SUPREME

Omaha had recovered somewhat
from her repute as a tough town
when her tough citizens and her weak
kneed peace protection renewed the III
reputation she had borne.
Analysis Of the situation indicates
to most minds inefriciency in police
and peace authorities. 1t is to be
noted that the mob melted like water
before the soldiers. The chances are
that determined front by the police
and the sheriff and his deputies would
have had the same effect. There are
few instances where mohs have faced
police forces who shoot when neces-
sary to preserve the peace. and keep
on shooting.
A mob that sets out to defy law and
order and lynch prisoners and burn
buildings Is to be met Il one way and
in one way only. If it is determined
to accomplish its detectives it should
be met with equal determination by
those who are sworn to protect pris-
oners under the law and to preserve
order. II the police had been as de-
termined as the mob that mob
wouldn't have lasted as long as a
SNOWFALL In hades before a sharp and
we'll directed fusillade. OF course,
somebody would have been killed.
Somebody was killed. The mayor was
seriously injured by hanging and may
yet die. The courthouse was burned.
Somebody - always killed and prop
ert destroyed by such mohs- The
trouble seems to be with who did the
killing and why. BE-, b
Ole Hanson and his deputies faced
a much moro serious situation In Sc
attic. THE reason mobs did not rule
that city was because they knew he
and his deputies would shoot. The
reason the mob melted before the SOL
diers Is because they knew the SOL
diers would shoot and to kill The
psychology Of mobs is cowardice. 1t
is cowardly thing to hang prisoner
and destroy q courthouse. A mob Is q
coward exulting in its own strength
and advantaging itself by the cow
ardice or incompetence OF the authori-
ties. That seems to have been the sit
uation at the Omaha courthouse and
jail There were rifles at hand. Had
Aalf dozen determined men had hold
! Of the rifles the mob would never have
| lynched the prisoner or burned the
building. It would have faded before
death and the prospect Of death as It
! did before the soldiers.

soldiers will be given a bonus by con-

raised by the soldiers. And it is GER

But It Is q harmless and happy

ABOUT 4 FARM RENTER"

t1foSk k1e<&f O11PFSf'I
While renters are complaining about
the high cost of leases Of Iowa land,
here Is an interesting fact: A man
holds four year lease on north
Tama stock farm OF over 400 acres.
The owner wanted to sell, but could
not without giving possession. He ap-
preached his tenant and wanted to buy
him Off, but was nearly knocked
senseless when that absurd gentleman
demanded $4,000 No amount Of ar
gument could induce him to take a
cent less. It Is needless to say that
he will not get renewal on the lease
It looks as II one renter at least Is
not being ground down to abject pow
erty. ..

DIR. Crumbine To Go Before
Legislature With Problem.
Establish Paid District Health
Officers Thru Kansas.
LOCAL SYSTEMS ARE WEAK
State Needs More Strict Super.
vision of Conditions.
Move in Right Direction on
Part of DIR. Crumbine.

Reorganization of the health super
vision methods of counties and cities
in Kansas is to be urged before the
state legislature. DR.. S. ]. Crumbine,
secretary of the state board of health,
today announced a plan to abolish the
offices of lis city and county health
officers and to supplant them with
district health officials. The plan
would place forty men in charge of
the work now handled by lis and in
the judgment of Doctor Crumbine
would greatly improve conditions.
Under terms Of a bill which is be-
ing drafted in the attorney generals
office, the district health officers
would devote their entire time to inn
provement of district conditions. Each
district officer would receive a salary
of not less than $4,000 year. Cities
of 10000 or more-including Topeka.
Wichita and Kansas City-might
discretion. Health physicians in these
cities would perform the services re-
quired of district officers.
Have Complete Control.
Each health officer would have
complete supervision over sanitary
conditions in his district, eradication
of causes of disease in the homes and
communities, direction and enforce
ment of regulations concerning vital
statistics, prosecution of health laws
and rules inspection of schools and
public buildings. The health officers
would also conduct educational cam
paigns in the district in an effort to
arouse the public to need for greater
efforts toward improved sanitation and
health conditions.
Recent experiences of the state
health department convinced DR..
Crumbine of the weakness of the
present local health systems. During
the time when the aid and co-opera-
ton of local health officers was most
needed. the state department was left
almost alone and helpless. The or
ganization of local health depart
ments simply broke under the strain.
Now DR.. Crumbine wants to over
come the weakness of the system with
an organization that will be thoro in
it's work and constantly on the job.
One of the rigid requirements of the
proposed new law is a provision alb
solutely requiring the entire time of
the man holding the position.
A law for compulsory isolation of
persons afflicted with social diseases,
will also be urged by the state health
department. These two measures, DR..
Crumbine stated, constitute the prin-
cipal requests of the department. be-
fore the new legislature.

Salina, Kan, Jan. SIT now ap-

more damage to the roads of this part

in a worse condition than at any time

The roads were SO heavily covered
with snow drifts Monday that jurors
were unable to get to town and court
was delayed.
