Lincoln, Neb.-The Nebraska house
Of representatives has declared in
favor of nationalizing the coal in
dustry.
Coal is mined under such varying
conditions that it has been found that
fixing prices, either by the govern
ment or by market conditions, does
injustice in many cases, says the law
makers, If the price is fixed high
enough for the mines having the
highest cost of production, the
profit to the mines having a lower
cost OF production is too great, and if
the price is fixed by the cost of pro-
ductiOn at the mines where production
is cheapest, the market price is too
low for the other mines, resulting
either in shutting down the mine or
reducing the price Of labor.
"The war SITUATION the resolutions
declare, "nade it clear that justice to
the coal miner and to the coal con-
sumer could be obtained only bv ma
tionalizing the mines, thereby en-
abling the government to direct the
production cf coal at the places whare
it could be produced at the greatest
advantage to society as a whole and
marketed andtr Uniform conditions,
both as to price and to coal miners

ENFORCEMENT OF DRY LAWS

The following moderate and sensi-
bic view of prohibition in America is
from the Jacksonville Metropolis:
To ascertain the success of prohi-
bition in the United States after one
years enforcement the New York
Herald wired 10 mayors throughout
the United States and asked for ex-
pressions on the subject. The majo-
rity of the officials declared that sue
cess had marked the inauguration of
the anti-liquor movement, although
others were frank to announce that
many difficulties had been encountered
in the enforcement of the eighteenth
amendment and the mayor of Charles
ton, s. c., went so far as to make the
flat-footed statement that prohibition
Is a failure because it is opposed to
human nature" However, anything
that the present mayor of Charleston
says can be taken "cum grano sails"
The claim that prohibition is opposed
to human nature is fallacious. self
preservation is one of the first laws
of nature" and certainly law which
has as its purpose the adjustment OF
an age-long menace deserves the
whole-hearted support of the human
family.
The hquorites are seeking to create
the impression that because prohibi-
ton has not been one hundred per
cent effective during its first year it
is a miserable failure. This is un-
| true.
Ask any man who drinks liquor at
the present time if it isn't more diff
fcult to purchase it than before the
law went into effect.
Count the number of DRINKS and
see if there hasn't been a remarkable
decrease.
But the biggest and most important
feature of prohibition is that it re-
moves to a great extent the tempta-
ton from the youth of the land. AS
time passes this benefit will be more
generally observed. The enforcement
officers have made mistakes, some OF
them glaring ones, but nevertheless:
the trend of events will rectify these
and after the proper passage of time
the enforcement of the law will bt
established on a permanent and sensi
lille basis.
A revolution cannot be brought
about over night. And prohibition i!
a constructive revolution which is tax
ing place in the United States today
Talk on the subject is being kept VI
by the liquor interests of the country
who have missions invested in equip
ment for the manufacture of liquor

A dispatch from Wewoka, Okla,
says: "At a conference of Seminole
Indians held here recently decision
was reached whereby many Seminole
Indians now living in Seminole coun-
ty, will move to Mexico next summer
to live upon reservation allotted to
them in 1859 by the Mexican govern
ment;, if claims to the land can be es-

These Seminoles are the descend
ants of a majority of the Indians who
fought in our Seminole war eighty
years ago. Strange to say, they are
not as often heard of as the remnant
which stayed in the everglades.
