he finally leaves here should he be
able to overcome the heavy pressure
now being eXerted to hold him in

He olliciated all day last Sunday
and incidentally referred to his res

action should have caused such
sensation. All the congregation had
to do was to accept it, bid him God
speed and let him 60.

COULD HAVB SAVED LIFE.

In speaking of the death of Clar-
ence Allen, Coroner Whitfield stated
that his life might have been saved,
had some one had the presence of
mind to have made him lie down and
put pressure on the severed vein at
the proper place aid check the flow
OF blood until the physicians came (.
AS a matter Of fact, Allen had lost
too much blood, when assistance
came and even had the wound been
closed and sewed up, he would have
died from exhaustion before morn
ing.

Kind Words for Prohibition.

As she was sailing for home, Lady Astor left
few kind words for prohibition She says her
observations and inquiries convince her that good
has followed the adoption of the amendment and
the enactment of the Volstead law. She bases
her conclusions largely on information given by
churches and charitable workers, who tell of re-
duced calls for help from the poorer classes and
from those who were the unfortunate victims Of
drink. On this score, we rather fancy that pro-
hibition has the better of the argument. At any
rate, Lady Astor can get lot of support for her
assertion from other than the charitable organ
izatons and the churches 1t is true that we still
are contributing to help along quite number of
organizations whose efforts go to the ameliora-
tion Of distress in the world but this distress is
not so much the outgrowth of drink as it was
few years ago. Nor has crime been banished
Poverty and suffering still are with us, and those
who have plenty are asked to divide with those
who have nothing, but the basis of it all is not
drink. Liquor is not entirely driven out; enough
of drunkenness remains, but the world is learning
that sober nation can have sin and misery Just
as if it were not sober. Here is another theme
for reformers and philosophers alike. Prohibi-
ton has done great DEAL but there is great
deal still to be done.

Back 10 the Grass" :"

Meredith Nicholson. the Hoosier author. is
rot joining in the bewildered lamentstion over
the lack OF leaders that is heard necessarily these
days. As a devoted citizen of the Valley OF
Democracy. which is the term he uses to de-
scribe the Mississippi basin, he sees the need as
ior an awakening of local pride and civic con-
seiousness-a spontaneous broadening OF the
spirit.
I'VE don't need leaders so much as we need
people TO stir US up and make US think and give
US some serious interest in the thing nearest
home-that is 4 part of our education tina,
seems neglected just now" That is the view as
he expressed it on his recent holiday with that
other Indianan, Will H. Hays, of New York
Here is to be found plea for a return to
the reality and simplicity of life. Americans like
to see things done on grand scale and very
often neglect the smaller matters that are close
at hand and more easily dealt with 1t is posi-
bic to stir up heated political arguments over
European affairs while the same people remain
not only uninterested but unfamiliar with events
and issues affecting their home community.
The foundation Of democracy and of progress
les in the smaller political and social units. Un-
less the people interest themselves in the little
things, they will not be able to handle the big
ones. Back to the grass" Mr. Nicholson ad-
vises. That is good-people must come out of
the clouds and plant their feet firmly on the
ground. -

More Home Building.

Home building, which proceeds apace in
Omaha as we'll as elsewhere about the country,
has not yet caught up with the annual increase
in population. Reports from 14o cities presented
in the Monthly Labor Review for April show,
however, that there was 81 per cent more build
ing in the United States last year than in 1920.
This was made possible by decrease of SO
Per cent in the wholesale prices Of building
material. The average cost of one-famiy DWELL
ings, is indicated at $43l4 in 1920 and $3,o25
in 1921
What is the annual increase in population?
The normal growth in cities Of more than $4,000
people is 81 per cent per year, according to the
statisticans. During the war years and for con-
siderable time after this expansion was not met
by new buildings. 1t is indicated by the govern
ment report that in 1921 the number of new
dwellings was somewhat above the increased pop
ulation demand which means that start was
made at reducing the housing shortage which
arose in preceding years.
New impetus has been given building oper-
atoms this spring. This means more employ
ment for labor and better homes for the people,
with lower rents If construction becomes sur
feienty general. In every way the situation is
promising, and in none more 80 than u elini-
