The Day of the Palms

With the advance of springtime we are reminded
of that continues revive history and recalls
the rounds of ladder every progressive has to climb
Palm-Sunday presents to Blessed Savior
in His majesty and glory We see him arrayed in
Radiance Divine, speaking words of comfort to us,
although the strain of language betokens plain
tive mood that cannot be mistaken. STILL single day
of Joy is worth the sorrows of multiplied days. Just
for day to in the presence of His Divine Coun
tenance imparts comfort to the end of dying day.
What ablessed thought 60 before him and declare:
"Hosianah Prince of Peace
Come His people to release"
Release may not be ours here and now, but the
promise is still ours
The Peace may not be wholly ours; not even
mine; still Peace shall come and all at some
time
For at least one day the Saints of God on earth
rallied around the banner of Peace and felt its pro-
tecting folds.
May the day of the Palms again exercise its full
influence of Peace unto the paving of the way that
leads to final emancipation.
The day of the Palms is the Day of Peace unto
all the walks of life Cass-conscousness disappears
like night at the approach of day. and and all
behold the majestic figure of Our Lord who alone is
our Leader and points the way to truth and life

War and Weapons

Each war has produced new and violent machi-
merry to destroy the enemy. Knights Grant in their

upset them and proved the age old theory that infan
try is most dangerous. Artillery considered
so destructive as to make all warfare impossible.
Before the great war we heard much of mysteri-
Gus acids which would blot out whole Cities ammuni

high explosives planes electricity all played their parts
but the controlling factor of warfare is unchanged

individuals?
We are living beyond our income consuming
capital; eating up and wearing out more than pro-
duce. That way lie bankruptcy, misery. There is
but one cure for this wretched and dangerous of
affairs. AS individuals making up great family,
nation, we must right about face. We must abandon
our proAigate way of living and "get down to brass
tacks." We must bidding against each other
for the too limited supply of other things and get busy
manufacturing more shoes and of everything.
AS people we have failed to function. We have
abandoned the conservative and safe of economy
and plunged into the maelstorm of loafng and spend
ing. We are demanding money and refusing to work
for it. Men and in all walks of life striv
ing for greater incomes with which to outbd each other
in the markets for necessities and luxuries The
higher the prices soar, the determined to
possess the goods and the less willing to work
to earn the money with which to buy them.
There is but one means of salvation: Work and
economy The longer push this fact aside, the
deeper we sink into the mre. No factory today is
producing its limit set of men and women are
working as they once did, The result is that instead
of making good the waste of war, we are consuming
the remnant which was left U.S. and meantime prices
mount and the supply is being depleted. Let our
motto as nation and as individuals, be:
Produce more and consume less"
That way lie comfort and safety and sanity.

State Officers Here

Having No Licenses

K. n. Fulton and Karl Schmitt,

that public garages OF the city regis
tel all the cars they keep.
Fulton will be stationed on the
South Side with seven men and
Schmitt will work" the north side.
Both say they will cooperate with
police.
There is no excuse for an auto
mobile owner driving a car with
an old license Fulton declared.
He should have secured a new
license at the first of the year. We
also believe that much automobile
larceny can be stopped by forcing a

leaves the car at the garage, in &C

AGENTS COMING
TO CLEAN OMAHA
Director Hanley Has List of
Suspected Bootleggers and
Distillers' Addresses.

The flow of moonshine whisky
from Omaha stills and the free and
easy operations OF bootleggers are
due for interruption with the arrival
here of federal prohibition inspec-
tors and liquor agents within the
next 10 days, according to an
nouncement yesterday from James
Hanley, federal prohibition director
for Nebraska:
Mr.. Hanley exhibited a pile of
reports that have been sent to him
regarding locations of illicit stills in
many sections of Omaha and alleged
wide open bootlegging.
If all OF these reports are true,
there are wholesale violations of the
prohibition enforcement laws in
progress here and many arrests may
be expected as soon as the federal
force gets on the job" he said. so
far, all | have attempted to do is to
file reports turned in to me. There
is encouraging evidence of desire
on the part of the public to aid in
prohibition enforcement. That's
what we want. It's the public that
is going to enforce these laws"
Mr.. Hanley expects the arrival
here within the next 10 days of A.
G. Dingley and n. B. Miller, spe-
cial prohibition field supervisors,
and other federal men later.
He is withholding issuance of
whisky selling and prescription per-
mits to physicians and druggists un-
til after Supervisors Dingley and
Miller arrive to investigate ap-
plicants. More than 100 applications
had been received, he declared.

FINAL HEARING IN
CRAMMER' APPEAL
NEXT SATURDAY
Is Last Legal Action Possible
To Save Condemned
Men.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. l0.-(Special.)
Next Saturday has been set as the
date for the hearing in the United
States circuit court of the appeal
OF attorneys for a writ of habeas
corpus for Allen V. Grammer, sen-
fenced to electrocution February
20 with Alison B. Cole for the muir
der of Mrs. Lulu Vogt in Howard
county in 1917.
The hearing will be held in St.
Louis at ? p. m. Mason Wheeler,
assistant attorney general, will
probably go from Lincoln to rep
resent the state in filing motion
for dismissal of the appeal.
This action is the last legal ac-
ton which can be taken by attor-
neys for Grammer in an effort to
save him from the electric chair. 1t
is similar to efforts of attorneys for
Cole, which proved futile when the
circuit court upheld the motion of
the state for dismissal of the ap-
peal.
Governor McKelvie is out of the
state, and it is understood that at
torneys for the two doomed men are
about to approach Acting Governor
P. A. Barrows for hearing of pleas
for clemency for the convicted men.
The attorney generals Office here
today received notification from the
district court of Howard county that
the motion OF attorneys for Gram
mer to set aside a dismissal of a
plea for hearing before a jury of
his sanity has been turned down by
both Judges Paine and Hammond.
The motion will now probably be
to the supreme court.

PRIVATE LANDS
Constitutional Amendment
Would Allow Use of One
Piece to Increase the

Lincoln, Feb. l0,-(Spccial. "A
successful attempt was made in the
constitutional convention Tuesday to
bring back from the files a PROPOSE
ton which related to the taking OF
the private property of one person
Tor the private uses of another.
The contention of the friends of
the proposition is that there are
times when, in order to make piece
OF land valuable, it is necessary to
drain it across the land of some
other farm, but under the present
law the owner cannot be compelled
to sell land on which the ditch
should be dug. The proposition was
discussed at considerable length and
finally was placed on the general
file.

the time of the convention for the
remainder of the forenoon, an
amendment by Bryant to leave the
entire system of taxation to the leg

taxes be uniform as to class. Dis
cusson went over until tomorrow.
The committee having charge oil
the matter of proposals for taxation
brought out the latest in the follow
ing form:
The necessary revenue of the
state and its governmental subdlvl-
sions shall be raised by taxation i'll
such manner as the legislature may
direct, but taxes shall be levied by
valuation, uniformly and proper
tionately, upon all tangible, property
and franchises, and taxes uniform
as to class may be levied by valua-
ton upon all other property. Taxes
other than property taxes may be
authorized by law
Oppose Byrum Proposal.
An amendment by Peterson of
Lancaster to the effect that prop
erty other than tangible property
shall not be taxed at a higher rate
than imposed on tangible property
was under discussion when the con-
vcntion adjourned until Wednesday
morning at =.
\ Two kilograms were read to the
convention urging the delegates to
vote against the Byrum- Jackson
proposal which. i'll effect, is a de-
parture from the system known as
the code law. One came from the
chairman of the Lincoln republican
county committee and the other
from w. s. Cheek of South Omaha.
