This is the first case in the Shawnee
county court, and the first case which
many old LAWYERS can recall. where a
child is asking damages for the aliena-
ton of mothers affections.
Attorneys almost set a precedent
this morning when the first twelve
jurors called to the box We're accepted
by both sides without a challenge.
Owing to a shortage of jurors both
sides made concessions that they
might not otherwise have granted. 1t
Is estimated that several days will be
consumed in the trial of the case.

governments boarded their gold.
Since there has been a scatter
ing. The mines are not turning out
as much gold as formerly, but the
liquefying of existent gold has more
than offset the shortage. But the
world approaches a time when the
supply of gold usable as money or
credit base will be less, and this
means higher prices for gold or
lower general prices for general
commodities, and through this lower
nominal wages.
But the chief thing is to allow
nothing to interfere with produc-
ton. America is better off than
Europe; not so much because we
escaped wars ravages as because we
have been intelligent enough to keep
production at high levels, and this
because our people, instead Of wran-
Cling over the division of the indus
trial product, have seen that their
first effort should be to keep busy,
whatever the price or wage level.

Colonels and Colonels

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: AS daily reader Of your paper
(Which has ever been q standard Of
decency and truth), l beg to protest
against William J. Bryan being re-
ferred to in your columns as "Col nell"
William J. Bryan.
In the first place, the American pub
lie is not enlightened as to the manner
in which Bryan won his rank. Were
he a Kentuckian he might have been
born colonel. Just how are they made
in Nebraska?
To those of us who have had the
privilege Of listening 10 Bryan's most
cnlig -n.As addresses on things mill

his name prefixed with the rank Of

up to; why and how is it associated with

toned to press forward and attack
the foe, but he is disciplined enough
to know that only proper restraint
can insure victory. Therefore we
will now work for the immediate
goal-the elections Of the Prussian
Assembly,"
The organization, on the fiftieth
birthday of the German Empire, of
the League Of the Upright" also
called the Kings Party, may be re-
garded as the royalists' formal dec.
laration Of war in the coming cam
paign. Openly an extremist group,
its most important function will be,
as explained by the Nationalist
leader, DR.. Weiss, to unite the rest
less and aggressive element in the
existing monarchistic parties-in
other words, to catch the votes of
the timid and the hesitant for the
National and Peoples parties, which
in comparison will appear moderate.
A clever scheme this; and it is prob
ably not the last weapon in the elec-
tioneering arsenal Of the Hohenzol-
lern partisans.

Thrift Is Fun

Thrift is doubtless all the noble
things that its proponents commonly
assert it to be, but it possesses an
other and neglected merit we'll worth
underscoring. 1t is fun-not per-
haps at first, but very soon.
Nor are we entering upon a devi-
Gus argument based upon the indi-
rect benefits Of saving-thc fact, for
instance, that only by thrift can one
stay within ones income (whcther
the income is $1,000 a year or $780,
900 year,. There is pleasure in
making both ends meet and no grief,
surely, in escaping from that most
persistent Of all the tribe Of wolves,
debt. But this is indirect fun, long
after the fact, and what we have in
mind is an immediate pleasure, a
contemporary tingle, as genuine as
that set up by good tune or a
frosty morning.
Anybody except the poorest can
save with little intelligent self
lenial and intelligent buying and
undergo no deprivation or hardship,
Vt course. This elementary truth
should be clearly understood as the

Mr.. Palmer's Critics

Instead Of Indignantly ihumping
the table as he replied TO the twelve
lawyers who have criticized him for
his disregard of the sacred rights of
the deported, Attorney General Pal
mer might have laughed.
there is anything in the news
calculated to provoke mirth it is the
intense solicitude Of the defenders
of communists and direct actionists
for meticulous respect for the
legal rights Of their clients. These
clients boastfully proclaim an un-
dying hostility to the law and the
Constitution, assail our judicial ma
chine as artfully devised by pluto
Gratis and other wicked persons; yet
when they are rounded up they cling
to the knees Of Judges and pitifully
bleat for protection. Leagues for
the preservation of civil rights,
largely composed Of persons who
would destroy all established rights
are greatly outraged by even the
faintest measure of direct action ap-
piled against direct actionists.
At times the agents of the law
are doubtless impolite when deal
ing with persons who if they dared
would break the heads of all that
disagree with them. But it is also
true that in the main American pub.
lie officers are extraordinarily ten
der Of those who flout the law. One
would think the anarchists and semi.
anarchists would in fair sportsman
ship concede the poor law some
chance to fight for its life. Queer
and funny, isn't it, that those who
are pleased with Lenine are dis.
pleased with Palmer?

Victims of Prohibition
Moderate Drinkers Are Real Suffer
ers. 1t Is Declared

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: There is one phase Of th3s rro.
hlbition question that ought to be dis
cussed. Prohibition may have succeed.
ed in saving the town drunkard, the
man who used to make "sot" of him
self. but what about its effect on the
moderate drinker, the man who could
take a drink or leave 1t alone and who
never had much temptation to drink
10 excess! Everybody knows that this
class comprises the majority, and vet
they are being sacrificed to save the
few. The situation really is a bit
alarming. These moderate drinkers,
Eho used to be satisfied with a glass
OF beer or with an occasional cock.
tafl-a class Of level-headed, fairly
~ell-to-do people--are the ones who
resent prohibitions interference with
what they call their personal liberty.
Resent" is mild word. They are mad
about it and are breaking the law
with glee.
saw a statement Of some prohibi-
tion official in The Tribune tho other
morning, in which he complained that
1t was so hard to enforce tho law be-
cause the better class Of men were
continually breaking it. He hit the
nail OH the head that time-it Ia truel
1t is this class Of people, the old,
moderate drinking class, that is now
going to the dogs. They are drinking
more than they ever did before in their
lives and drinking worse s:.ff. They
cannot get their beer, so they drink
whisky-any kind Of whisky. They
have the money to pay for it and they
DO not care about the price.
l know dozen cases in my own little
circle OF friends, men who in the old
days would not drink glass of whisky
moro than onco or twice q year, and
now they are stopping In the corner
saloon every night and putting down
four OF five drinks on their way home
from business. If the saloonkeeper
cannot supply them, they will buy a
bottle from a bootlegger and drink il
all at one sitting. They seem to take
a tiendish delight in so doing, al
though they know they are running
their health.
These are men OF standing in the
community. We would call them good
citizens. What the result is going to
be nobody knows. Are these people Il
be sacrificed on the altar of prohibi.
ton? Give them their beer back and
they won't care thing about the
rest Of the prohibition law.

Two, Not One
A Prevailing Understatement Of the
Franklin Rule of Thrift
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I see that Benjamin Franklin
Is misquoted now just as he was BY
the government itself when it start
ed the issuing of War Saving stamps
Only superficial observer could have
said that penny saved is a penny
earned. The great apostle of thrift
knew from his own experience that "s
penny saved is twopence gained
People would be much more thrifty
If they fully realized that when they
spend a dollar they put themselves
where they will have to earn two dol
lars or very much more in order to
get even again. You have to live while
you are working and it costs money to
live. Franklin tried to teach the Amer
ican people that saving is just abou.
twice as important as earning, but mis-
wisdom was nr'lified by a foolish say
ing which comes easily of the tongue
and therefore lives on and on.

AS have generally found The Tribune

No Waiting for Victory Medals
To the Editor of The Tribune

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In reply to Reginald Holden
Thayer's letter in Saturdays Tribune
I would like to know if he, or any one
he knows, had to stard in "bread lines"
waiting to receive Victory medals. As
William Hood would say. ~ would be
reluctant to call him an intentional
liar; but l may say that the partition
between his memory and his imagins-
ton has completely broken down" The
time required to apply for q Victory
medal is but a few minutes. A short
time ago I went over to New Brighton,
Staten Island, to an American Legion
meeting with captain and another
representative Of the Victory Media!
Office. In one hour and fifteen minutes
we approved seventy-fve applications
an average OF one minute an applica'
ton. Does he consider this standing N
a "bread line? The War Department
desires to have every man who -vants his
medal to receive it in the easiest AND
most practicable manner. If every one
who served in the World War had
medal mailed to his old address, given
at the time of his discharge, large
number would fall into unauthorized
hands. With that situatioa, does he
think the medal would mean anything?
While writing from a United States
Army recruiting Office, happen 70 know
that the system of distribution of medals
for the navy is very simple, and one
does not have to wait in "bread line"
to receive his medal

A Taste Of Starvation

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: To my mind, Mary Schaefer, the
sixteen-year~old girl who is living on
starvation rations in self-imposed
hunger strike in order to help the Euro
pean Relief Fund, deserves much more
than the comparatively slight recogni-
ton given her.
This act Of Miss Schaefer will do more
to help tho fund than any Of the "$1 900
plate" dinners could ever do.
If mora people would follow Miss
Schaefer's example they would soon
realize what it means to be really hun.
gry--a thing that is comparatively
unknown to most Of US.
Here's hoping Miss Schaefer's sscri.
hce will not be entirely In vain.
