Yet, we should not be discourage
ed, though, in our shortsightedness
we do not realize that the tenden-
e. of the human race is to adj
vancement, and the movement Of
the species is irresistibIy upward.
Truth is immortal, it cannot be
destroyed; it is invincible, it can
not long be resisted, but when once
proclaimed and diffused, il lives
without end in the safe custody of
the race. States may pass away,
bat every just principle of legisla-
tor which has been once estab-
lished will endure. Philosophy has
sometimes forgotten God, a great
people never did. The scepticism
Of the last century could not up
root Christianity because it lived
in the hearts of the millions In
fidelity is not spreading. Chris
tianity never lived in the hearts of
50 many millions as at this mo-
ment. No truth can perish; no
truth can pass away; the fame is
undying, though generations disap-
pear. Wherever moral truth has
struck into being, humanity claims
and guards it as the greatest be-
quest.
Inspired by what has been &C
cornplished, may it ever be our
mission TO achieve and to serve the
generations that here shall stand
il the never ending flight of future
days.

Omaha Bakers Oppose
Uniform Bread Law

Lincoln, April 2O.-(Special.) y
The Nebraska supreme court this
afternoon heard arguments on behalf
of the Omaha bakers assailing the
constitutionality of the Smith uni
form bread law passed by the legis-
iature of 1921.
The act was declared to be not
only unfair to the bakers, but against
the interests OF the purchasers and
consumers of bread by M. A. Hall,
who represented the Omaha bakers.
Assistant Attorney General bort
answered the plea of the bakers
counsel, upholding the law as one
which protects the public against
short-weight loaves without impos-
ing any unreasonable requirement on
the manufacturers. He quoted
figures showing tests made on the
weight of loaves turned out by diff
ferent bakeries to show that they
can easily make loaves of uniform
size within the two-ounce tolerance
which the law allows.
State Representative Ed A..
Smith of Omaha, who introduced the
bill in the legislature, attended the
hearing in the supreme court. The
case was appealed from a decision
by Judge Morning in Lancaster
county which held the act valid.

Arson II. Bigelow. progressive
candidate for United States senator.
in an open letter to ]. II. Edmisten,
state chairman OF the party. an
nounces that in the future he will
conduct an intensive rather than a
passive campaign for the office.
Bigelow bitterly attacks fusion Of
the progressivcs with the democrats
as arranged by the party leaders and
refuses to follow the leadership OF
Wray and Norton.
His letter in part reads.
II know OF no authority from the
founders OF the party. express or
implied. by which the new state
dictator, or the state chairman, or
even the foremost member OF the
party, however eminent their past
services, were empowered to barter
and trade nominations in the pro-
gressive party. Neither allegiance
to party nor to its principles require
me to follow them into the demo-
cratic or republican camp. We or
ganized new party, party of
ideals, because we had despair
ed of winning asccndancy for
the progressive wing in either Of the
two old parties. Machine politicians
had become too firmly entrenched.
We are rot so fatuous as to believe
the machine politicians of the demo-
cratic party will permit the pro-
gressive party to pick its candidate
for governor.
Fusion With Minority.
Even it it did, we will have picked
the candidate only OF the minority
party. Will the republican party,
now entrenched in state and nation,
permit us likewise to name its candi-
date for United States senator? If
so, why trouble 10 run a candidate
of our own? If not. what do we
gain by tieup with the democrats?
To win, we must make large inroads
into the republican voting strength.
What have our three manipulators to
offer the republicans for support?
There is nothing in trade of
nominations with the democrats to
attract republican voters! Our only
hope was to act independently for
a progressive program. If our pro-
gram was right and our candidates
both clean and able, then independ-
ents and progressives of both parties
would be attracted. If the proposed
deal goes through, then progress
sives of both parties will know that,

Case Submitted Yesterday Afl.

Hours
Crowd Waits for Verdict

The fate oi the man who has as.
sumed the name, "Otto Cole" is IL
the hands OF district court jury
which began delibera,ion AZ \ yes
,erday afternoon.
Cole has acted as his own attorney.
He has been on trial since Monda,
on a charge OF numbering Harr,
Hahn. secondhand clothing merchant

ing occurred March 2S.
Record crowds have been presen
at the extraordinary trial. The biz
courtroom was packed by crow

Scores OF Others stood IN the halls
trying 10 get III.
Al 10 last night no word had come
from the juryroom.
Praise Not Effective.
The most unusual trial ever hello
in this county," was the manner IN
which County Attorney Abel V.
Shotwell characterized the Cole trial
in opening his argument to the jury
after Cole had finished three hours
OF argument.
The fulsome praise for the county
attorney showered by Cole in his
argument had no effect on Shotwells
handling of this man posing as
"Otto Cole" and with long criminal
record. "A man devoid of all knowl-
edge OF social duty; including SIX
penitentiary sentences, according to
police; a floater who came here from
no one knows where; a self-confessed
killer. so devoid OF human feeling
that he declares he has but one thing
to regret in his whole life and that,
the drowning of dog; a man who
actually parades before you his own
disbelief in the God you and ! be-
lieve in and worship
These were words used by the
county attorney in his argument
which lasted only an hour. but was
packed with concise statement OF
the states side OF the case and call
to the jurors TO return a verdict OF
first degree murder.
Points Out Privileges.
"You have witnessed in this court
room the unusual spectacle of man
electing TO defend himself on a
charge of murder, although the state
has offered 10 provide him with coun-
sell" said Mr.. Shotwell.
"You have witnessed the sight OF
| this defendant allowed to pursue a
course of conduct which he would
never have been allowed to pursue
if he had had an attorney.
"You have witnessed thing never
before seen in a court, believe
Judge offering to allow defendant
in the midst of the argument to
take the witness stand and under
oath give testimony. And you have
seen the defendant stand mute at the
offer"
Speaking OF Coles self-defense
argument, Shotwell said:
"Self-defense! Here on the one
hand you have Cole, big, strong; a
boxer according to his own boast,
handler of guns since he was a
boy; man who has courage when
he has a gun in his hands. On the
other hand is Harry Hahn, five
feet five inches high. weighing $50
