The Farce Of "Deportataon"

The nation will receive with deep disappoint-
meut official confirmation of the fact that depor.
,ation as bar to unfit immigrants has broken
down, and that Of the "Red trainload" of agi-
tators brought from Seattle six months ago with
such flourish only seven men have been sent
away. while but three are held-22 who advo-
Gated forcible revolution having been turned
loose in the metropolis.
Predetermined or diseased persons have been
liberated under bond and have simply disap-
peared in the mass of humanity, often under
new names The almshouses shelter thousands
lawfully subject to deportation Red leaders
who are still held make no secret OF their sub
8versve aim. you have got us in Jail" they
say, "butfour turn is coming, and then God help
you! We will blow the heads off a few people
like you (members of congress) when the time
comes"
Every country is sole judge ofethe conditions
upon which immigrants shall be admitted. If in
this vital matter the will of America is thwarted
not all the blame rests upon the administrators
of present laws The visiting representatives
and their associates in congress must admit their
share of fault for failing, m case so plain and
a need so urgent, to pass stringent and prac-
ticable laws.
Let us not waste time bewailing the fact that
deportation has been a farce-else must we in
clude in the indictment congress, fully warned,
that has done nothing Let us face the future.
Let us have deportation law and deportation
administrators that will deport-New York

THE ONE BIG QUESTION.

When the delegates to Nebraskas constitu-
tonal convention meet next week they will be
confronted with just one big question of which
all their other problems will be mere details.
That question is the same that is confront
ing the nation as whole, and is also perpex-
ing nearly every civilized country in the world
1t is the big question of democratic govern
ment as against anarchy, or bolshevism, or
terrorism or socialism, by whatever name its
advocates prefer to call it; the rule of law and
the maintenance of order through the law as
against violence, theft and confscation of
private property camoufaged behind more po
lite words: holding fast to the dearly bought
liberties of the people, the right to equal OPP
portunty and to the enjoyment of the product
of ones own labor, energy, and thrift, as against
the leveling down of all to the measure Of ca
pabity of the lowest and the annuln1ent OF
what in the past has been the handspring of
progress.
The revision of the constitution of Ne
braska is only one phase of this big question,
yet most important phase. As every one
knows, this state has been built up and trans
formed from trackless prairie supporting only
few rowing bands of savages to its present
condition of prosperous and forward-ooking
population, unmatched in intelligence and edu-
cation, home-owning and home-loving, hrmset
in substantial American citizenship, in an
amazingly short period of time under the prin-
cpes of liberty and representative government
embodied in our present constitution. This out
standing fact must not for moment be over
looked If Nebraska is to continue its stride
and maintain its place the head of the
procession, it must follow in the future as here
tofore the guide post of equality before the
law" and hold out to every individual, rich or
poor, native or foreign born, regardless of sex,
creed or color, the prime incentive to make
the most of himself or herself to rise in the
world, to possess and keep what belongs to
each of them as, the best way to contribute to
the we-being of all.
Fortunately, from the known character and
standing of the vast majority of the delegates
elected to the impending constitutional con-
vention, we may rest confident that the right
solution of this one big question is not in the
least in danger in that body, except possibly
through unconscious error Anarchy, social
ism, bolshevism, however, are such slippery
serpents and assume so many DISCUSSES that the
delegates can not be too constantly on their
guard against their intrusion at some unsus
pected point. Here, as from the days of Magma
Charta, eternal vigilance must be enjoined and
steadfasty observed.

Desertions from the Army.

The War department announces that since
March assertions from the army have averaged
800 month, with less than IS per cent of the
men so absent from service apprehended and
punished Desertion still is most serious
matter, at least it is so regarded by army
authorities, but the case is probably not so
parlous as might be imagined from glance at
the figures
A great many of the young men now in the
army went in when the war was on principally
for the reason that they wanted to escape the
operation of the draft law, while others were
assigned to the regular service from the draft.
These could not be content with the routine
duties of peace time. while watching those Of
their friends and comrades who were in the
national army regiments being dismissed and
returned to civil life. 1t was not so bad at first,
for the fact that they could be held only four
months after peace had been declared served
to support the drafted men, and the others
looked ahead to release from the army through
other means. Days went on and the proclama-
ton of peace was withheld although to all in
tents and purposes the land is at peace. This
procrastnation prolonged the term of military
service, and conditions became irksome.
With many demoblized soldiers wearing
their uniforms on the streets, it was easy
enough for one to slip away from his command,
and under an impulse born of longing to be
back in civil life again, break the ties that held
him to the army. Such assertions are tech
nically as reprehensible as any, but may be
dealt with far more leniently because of the
circumstances. Should occasion arise, these
same lads will again be found doing soldiers
duty fighting for the flag they love and to
maintain the freedom they crave even to the
extent of being willing to take chance with
court-martial

A Neighborhood Story-Girl
BY MARIE sCoYILIE

Sally had way" with children;
she planned to be a kindergarten
teacher when she was graduated. In
the meantime she wanted many
little things father could not always
afford to buy. so she decided to use
her talent, for such it was, to make
money outside Of school.
Sally often noticed on Saturday
afternoons how Mrs. Browns little
girl cross the street and Mrs. Jones'
little boy next door played on the
street and often we're endangered by
automobiles while their mothers
were busy in the house or shopping
town. Very often they would come
running over to sit on Sally's porch
children who lived in the neighbour
hood saying that she would enter
tain little James or Elizabeth at her
home OIL Saturday afternoons from
2 to 5. This would enable mothers,

immigration Service a Scandal.

Inquiry by congressional committee is
bringing to light facts that more than ever ex-
plain why the democrats have so strenuousiy
objected to any investigation of the details OF
their administration. In connection with the
immigrant station at Ellis Island, in New York
harbor, the great entry port to the United
States, such state of scandal has been de-
veloped as must shock the most hardened.
Immoral women were allowed to mingle
freely among the men detained there for in
vestigation, extensive gambling operations were
conducted and generally all rules were relaxed
and common decency ignored. While these
things were being carried on, apparently with
the knowledge of the acting commissioner,
white slavers were plying their awful trade and
anarchists conducting a school of instruction,
right under the shadow of the Statue of
Liberty.
In all the record of inefficiency made by the
democrats in the management OF the nations
affairs, nothing is more malodorous than this.
How can we wonder that bolshevists operate
boldly in various parts of the country when
they are permitted to carry on in such fashion
right before the authorities who are supposed
to have them in charge? Why should they not

such things to go on?
What will the president do about 1t, now
that the lid has been taken off and the nasty
mess exposed? Will the administration do, as
it already has in other cases, shield the culprits,
and charge the republicans with excessive par
tisanship, or will it try to clean house and give
decency chance during the few months that
remain of the democratic regime?

per, making pictures with lines of
ink.
"The engravings, or cuts, are made
by photography, or photo-engrav-
ing-much like kodak pictures. Two
kinds of cuts are used in newspapers.
One, which is composed of simple
lines on a white background, like this
picture, is called line engraving or
line etching. The other kind which
prints picture with shades or gray,
like a photograph, is called half
tone engraving.
These line engravings are made
like this: An artist draws the pic
lures in ink on white paper. Then
the engraver pins the drawing to the
wall or an upright board and takes.
a picture of it in a large camera. He
then develops the camera plate or
negative just about as we do ko-
dak film. To finish the job of max
ing kodak picture, we would place
the negative and some sensitized
photograph paper in frame and al
low light to pass through to print
the picture on paper. The engraver
does about the same thing except
that, instead of using sensitized pa
per, he uses sheet of zinc covered
with coating. that is sensitive to
light; that is, he prints his picture
on zinc plate.
when he has developed this
zinc plate, the picture stands on it's
surface in lines of coating which he
strengthens with red powder called
dragons blood Then he washes
the plate with acid which etches, or
eats into, the parts that are not
protected by dragons blood, leav-
ing the lines of the original draw
ing standing out in metal lines on
the zinc plate. When this plate is
tackled to a block of wood, it is
about ready for the printer.
I'll tell you about the half-tone

Greeley County's Corn Crop.

Greeley County's Corn Crop.
Greeley, Neb., Nov. 18.-To the
Editor of The Bee: We desire to
take exception to the report Of the
failure of the corn crop all along
the Burwell branch of the Burling-
ton railroad. which appeared in the
State Journal of last Fridays issue.
The author of this report is either
grossly ignorant of conditions or
willfully malicious in spreading such
misinformation. This report states
that the entire corn crop OF the ter
ritory drained by the Burlington
along its Burwell branch was very
poor on account of severe dry
weather, thus limiting at the fact
that the crop was a complete fall
ure. We. as a committee represent
ing the Community club Of Greeley,
Neb., desire to take immediate ex-
ception to this report and to brand
it as a vicious and dangerous
falsehood. which savors of the spirit
of an unfair and unprincipled prop
uganda against the people Of this
territory.
We have before us at this writing
the Nebraska Crop Reporter, issued
by the state department Of agricul-
ture. Lee Stuhr, secretary, under
date of November /, 1919, which
gives us the following information:
"A yield of 25 bushels of corn per
acre for Nebraska is the preliminary
estimate just announced by A. NJ
Anderson and George A. Williams
of the crop reporting service. The
yield was 17.7 bushels per acre last
year and the 10-year average is 23.6
bushels. Central Nebraska (Which
includes all the counties in question
in the false report) has a very good
crop. The south central part of the
state is far ahead of it's average
with yields ranging from "a bushels
in Kearney county to II bushels in
Webster county," In this same re-
port by counties every county in
question is over 26 bushels per acre.
Does this look like failure in the
corn crop?
Trusting that you will give this
the necessary publicity in your col
umns to refute this false statement
and assuring you that what we ask
and demand is fair and just treat
ment and no special favors. Me-
braska does not need unfair public
ity of its splendid crop reports, but
it does need progressive and just
publicity for itself and for every
section of the state.

while she told them story. Thus
she thought Of organizing a story
telling class.
First she sent out little notes to
all the busy mothers with young
without worry, to go calling, shop
ping, or to a matinee. For each
young charge the fee was rs cents.
Soon the living room in Sally's
home was filled each Saturday after
non with small boys and girls
whose grateful mothers eagerly
seized this opportunity to have them
entertained.
Sally kept constantly on the alert
for stories to tell and new ideas on
the way of entertaining children.
These she found in books at the Ii
brary, in the magazines her mother
took and in the daily newspaper.
In the summer the class moved to
the front porch and often to make
it especially festive she would serve
vanilla cookies and pretty but harm
less pink lemonade. Sally told not
merely fairy tales but simple, in
teresting stories of the lives of
great men, how a caterpillar be-.
comes butterfly, etc.
The young mind is sweet and re-
ceptive and for any girl who loves
children and possesses charm and
tact, this is genuine pleasure and
to be looked upon as real oppor-
tunity not only to make money but
to do good.

LUNDGREN CASE
AWAITS TRIAL JURY
Prosecuting Attorney Says Ac-
cused Woman Had Both Drugs
That Caused Deaths

Lawrence, Mass, July 3.-(By A.
P.)-Court sat well into the evening to
allow Attorney General II. c. Attwill
to complete his closing argument yester-
day in the trial of Mrs. Bessie n.
(Skccls) Lundgren for the murder of
Miss Florence W. Gay. Mrs. Skeels
will be given an opportunity to address
the court this afternoon, after which
the charge will be given. It is expected
that the case will go to the jury early
in the afternoon.
Attorney General Attwill said that
there was a great deal of circumstantial
evidence in the case, but that it all
pointed to single conclusion. The
evidence showed. he said, that Miss Gay
had died from arsenic poisoning and
that Mrs. Skeels's brother, for whose
death she is under indictment for muir :
der in New Jersey. had died from lead
poisoning and that the defendant had
had in her possession both arsenic and
lead.
IF the district attorney, knowing
these facts" he exclaimed, had not
brought action against Icr, he should
have been impcachcd.
