Kennedy Makes Address.
John L. Kennedy, fuel administra-
tor, made the principal address at
the final session. He urged devel-
opment of Nebraska resources in
the reconstruction period.
Use your influence to develop
the water power of this state. We
ought to use the Missouri river TO
float Nebraska products down to
Kansas City. It's right at our doors
hut we haven't the energy to use
it. Nebraska ought TO rank first
in the production of beet sugar, hay
and other products and she would,
if we used all the means at our
command" he said.
The speaker urged the lumber
men to help to break down the BAR
rier between capital and labor.
Make it possible for old employees
to hold part of the stock in your
company and there will be no class
prejudice. The man who puts his
money into the U. S. postal saw
ings bank is not going to wave a
red flag in the streets" he said.
Senator Z. c. Houston who miss
ed this convention for the first time
in the 80 years since its inception,
sent a telegram of regret.

OF OPINION
 D.
FARM AND RANCH

Henry Clay when warned by his friends that his views on public questions were unpop- ular replied that he had rather be right than president How seldom do we meet this kind of honesty and integrity Tn the public service !! How few candidates for office have well defin- ed views and impressions and are willing to an- nounce them and contend for them regardless of the popularity of such views!
 We as people need more fearless convic tions and more intellectual honesty to abide with them. Popular sentiment has too often influenced men in both private and public af fairs to compromise and ever reverse views on the events of the day.
 In the few years following the war it is hoped that the people themselves will be hon. est and conscientious with their representativ- es. Men in the public service are especially anxious to have the opinions of thinking men and they usually appreciate frankness and ster- Ing honesty of thought and decision. But men who clamor for selfish advantage or adhere to principles simply because they are popular will be detested and they will carry no influence
 If the people of the country will express their opinions frankly, honestly and conscien- tously 1t will not be a difficult matter for sen ument conductive to good government, fair dealing and industrial advancement to be pro- noted. The people may rule if they will assert thelr authority reasonably and intelligertlv But only the honest, unselfish. conscientious and patriotic may expect to have influence in good government

ROY NJ. CRAIG, Business Manager
Another Reformer Heard From.

That fellow Coger of the Sharp County Record ought to be muzzled. As soon as he read in The Journal about our MT. Hill intro ducing bill in the legislature to abolish dance halls, why then Coger, he went and set up all night the very next night studying out a string of stuff he says he's going to do when he goes to the legislature, just like he actually thought that he had brains enough and was smart enough to go to the legislature, when everybody knows that Goger ain't got no more show of ever going to the legislature than old Phil Knox has got of going to the Peace Con- ference.
 Now, read what the silly simp says: "Poindexter Hill, one of the representatives in the legislature from Independence County has introduced bill in the legislature to pro- this paper gets to the legislature he is going to skin that bill more than mile. The fact is we shall propose several better bills than that We shall introduce bill to prohibit old men from smoking strong pipes and the younger generation from befuddng their think tanks with cigarettes. We shall introduce a bill to prohibit our lady friends from painting their faces and camouflaging their hips and other parts of the anatomy. We shall introduce a bill declaring the chewing gum habit illegal in the last degree. We shall introduce a bill cre- atlng commission composed of very few folks, and to be named later, whose duty it shall be to formulate rules for the conduct of all the people and to see that they are obeyed, every offender to be put to death through a slow process of strangulation. We shall intro- duee bill declaring Mrs. Winsow's Soothing Syrup the national beverage, the Declaration ot independence humbug and the constitution myth. When we get to the legislature. MT. Hill IS going to have come again if he wants to be known as real reformer."

The League Of Nations.

Discussing the proposed League of Nations the Arkansas Democrat has the following to say, which comes near the point as anything The Journal has noticed on the subject:
 The arguments of some of the senators who object to the plan for League of Nations seem to amount to this: that it ought to be left entirely to each nation to make war as it sees fit, that if Russia should sudenly. without eau Sc, decide to make war on Denmark. there should be no outside interference; if Germany should decide to start another conflict with France, that is an affair for Germany and France to settle. The senators don't urge their conclusions that far, but the logical carving out of their proposed policies would allow inst that sort of thing
 If the senators carry the same line of reasoning into community life in this country It might be argued that there is no Justification for community regulating the relations be- tween various residents that if man sudden ly decides to raid the house of a neighbor and beat him up, that is his affair and not a matter for the other people of the community to take q hand in.
 ''TheLeague of Nations idea simply extends to international affairs the well-tested idea of community regulation. It provides plan whereby the civilized members of the family of nations stand together for common action against a criminal among nations, just as the civilized members of community stand to- gether against the criminal in the community
 II there is ever going to be worldwide Brotherhood of Man, there must first be we'll regulated family of nations recognizing com munlty of interests. The League of Nations is great step forward in this direction"
