ASIDE IN CASE
OF STATE BANK
Supreme Court UphOIds Yer
dict of Board; ReverSeS DAM
age Case Against Street
Railway Company.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Feb, ls.-Former At
torney General Willis E. Reed is
rebuked in an opinion by the Ne
braska supreme court Saturday
morning for having agreed with
Frank Iams, late of St. Paul, Neb.,
to restore his $4,000 deposited in
the defunct Decatur Neb., state
bank from the assets of the bank,
after the high court had held that
the sum was a loan and not a de-
post.
The Iams judgment, entered by
Judge A. c. Troup of Omaha, by
stipulation and agreement between
Iams and the former attorney gen
eral, is set aside by the high court.
The opinion is by c. B Letton.
Appeal From Oakland.
The opinion was on an appeal by
the Oakland, Neb. State bank from
petition Of Intervention i'll the
Decatur bank case, refused admis-
sion into the courts by the Burt
county district court.
Some time ago the supreme court
0. KID the action of the state bank
ing board in refusing to consider
Iams' claim in the preferred class of
depositors, to be reimbursed from
the guaranty fund, but merely as a
loan TO the bank, because he was
getting 6 per cent on his money,
while under the law banks cannot
pay over per cent.
Iams died recently, leaving his
100000 estate to his private secre-
tary, Helen Picklers. In his will he
directed that a large monument to
himself, on horseback, be erected at
Winner, S. D., his former home. He
was a prominent horseman of Ne
braska.
Car Case Reversed.
The supreme court has reversed
and remanded the $4,000 damage
Judgment secured by Louisa Mentz
against the Omaha & Council Bluffs
Street Railway company, because
the Douglas county district court
erred in refusing to instruct the jury
that if the street car men were ex-
ercising due diligence when Fritz
Mentz was jolted in the car, a YER
dict should be found for the street
car company.

Secretary Daniels Writes Gov
ernOr MCKeIvie About Sit
uation With Respect to
Releases from Duty.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Feb. l5.-(Special. 1.-The
navy will not release all the young
men who desire to return to civilian
life until the soldiers are returned
from France. This is the reply 1f
Secretary Daniels to the letter of
Governor McKelvie, who asked the
cooperation of the department in
obtaininy early release of Nebraska
men who are needed on the farms.
I'VE have released now about 49,
900 and we are releasing them as
fast as we can do so without inn
pairment of the service. hope that
within comparatively short time
we may be able to release all young
men who desire it. We could have
made releases earlier, but the neces-
sity of manning the ships. which are
bringing back the soldiers from
France, requires us to keep many
young men who wish to get out eli
the service" Secretary Daniels ad-
vlses the. governor.
Governor McKelvie did not see
Secretary Daniels on his recent trip
to Washington. The governor, in
his letter, explained that he was not
urging the release of men on an oc-
cupational basis, but felt that with
an industry so important as farm
ing, 1T would be highly important
that those who will have employ
ment in that industry upon their re-
turn, should be released, instead of
those who will be without employ
ment when they are released"
The governor has been besieged
with requests from Nebraska farm
ers who are seeking the release OF
their sons in time to take up their
work on the farms at the opening of
the season, which is not more than
a month away.

FARM SELLS HIGH IN FAYETTE

What is said OF be the highest price
paid for blue grass land in this sec
ton probably in years was paid by
E. R. Little, formerly of Montgomery
county, for the fam owned by H.
Frank Hill in Fayette county late last
week. Mr.. Little gave s125.000 for
the 230 acres of land owned by Mr..
Hill, four miles from Lexington on
the Paris pike. It is splendidly i'm
proved in every way. Mr.. Hill bought
the place about three years ago after
leaving his old home in Wayne county.
Mr.. Hill has a number Of relateives

see him locate in Madison county, as
it is understood that he viii purchase

School Music

School music has a vital mission to
perform during the reconstruction pc
rod just ahead of us, wherein we
should seek to develop a higher,
broader patriotism than the world
has known before. Patriotism in the
broadest sense is an altruistic recog-
milton Of the brotherhood Of man.
Love for country is fine thing. He
who does not love his country is un-
worthy Of citizenship. But love for
humanity is better. To train for
service to humanity should be our
highest educational aim, and nothing
tends more practically toward this
end than a musical atmosphere in the
school room, in the community, and
in the state.
The children in our public schools,
from the large cities out to the most
rural districts, should be taught to
sing with understanding and spirit,
not only our own national songs, but
also such songs as "The Marseilles,
@Rule Britannia" and others that
tend to inspire lofty ideals Of human
liberty and worldwide democracy.
The tendency Of music-that is,
good music (not so-called "rag time"
variety, which appeals only to excit--
able emotions,) toward unity Of
thought and feeling and the elimina-
ton of selfishness and It's appeal to
the ideal, make it an indispensable
element in training for an apprecia-
ton of the great things Of life.
Has not the time come when al!
school authorities should recognize
this fact! s. S. MYERS.
