From the few hogs that were freed
on the Island Of Santa Cruz in 1547
have come a race of feroeious wild
bears, which have lost every trace of
their domestieity. They mature enor-

long hoofs and can run like deer.
They are a plague to the ranchers of

JEW.BAlTINC DYING AWAY.

Brighter days coming for the Jew, II the re-
port of the American Jewish committee, just made
public is sound in its conclusions. Anti-Semitlc
agitation in the United States has collapsed, says the
report and this in turn has had sautary effect on
European countries where such agitation is falling
off. The report credits the collapse of the anti
Jewish propaganda in this country to the vigorous
protests of the press the church and other American
agencies of public opinion
Sporadic attempts along the lines of prejudice
and oppression still are noted in this country but,
says the committee,
I'VE feel confident however that the number OF per-
sons who will give credence to this insidous propa-
eanda is comparatively small and that the American
people as a whole appreciate the injustice wicked
ness and danger of such movements and may be
relied upon to repudiate them
Noticeable improvement in the condition OF Jews
in central and eastern Europe is reported, and IN
western Europe general condemnation of anti
Semitic propaganda has about within the last
two years. In Germany some minor political groups
still use the cry against the Jew, but in no instance
is their effort seriously menacing Lhuania is noted
as conspicuousy progressive along these lines, and
in Poland the situation is clearing up.
All this is hopeful, and should encourage the Jews
tn continue in their efforts If the sentiment COM
planned of is vanishing that is because the Jews have
ntelligently directed their attempts to dispe any
prejudice that might have existed against them.
Public understanding has been improved because the
Jew has been patient in pleading his own cause, and
through his own endeavor has shown how silly mas
been much of the propaganda used against him.
Racial antagonsm falls of its own weight when
reason guides the judgment.

MR.. DAWSON, MEET Mr.. ROcKNE.

Nebraska's football team is about to be put to
the acid test the same appearing in the combined
persons of Knute Rocknes all-conquering bonebust-
ing bunch from Notre Dame. This outfit is coming
with the prestige of having crushed all opposition
so far this season, showing mercy to none and leav
ing only wreck and devastation in its trail. Attia
and Ghengis Khan were benevolent and phianthropic
visitors in comparison with the Notre Dame football
squad of the current season.
That is, if you put confidence in what the press
agent tells you. AS matter Of fact, the crew from
Indiana has had little trouble, for it has not had
much opposition yet this Just how it Will be
at Nebraska none can say. The Cornhuskers do not
look especially impressive, their performance being
Of negative sort. While the team hasn't been
licked SO far it hasn't licked anybody worth while
and it missed two very good opportunities to win
victories that the home folks think should have been
won Yet tie scores are capable of another inter
nretaton as they may indicate that the other fellow
is entitled to some respect and credit for his part
Of the performance.
What is certain to attract attention Is tnat the
Cornhuskers know all about Notre Dame; the teams
have been meeting in annual contest for several
wears until their clash is looked upon by both as the
sunreme event of their football season. Each has
resnect for the other, and foolish sentiment Is
entertained by either. Dawson has had his giadia-
tors secretly eating meat and drilling on maneuV
ers that may mystfy the invaders. NEBRASKA Is ho'
going to be fed like a lamb to a wolf make up your
mind TO that Notre Dame may win, but scarcely by
a walkover

BARNUM WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

Horatio Earle, time road commissioner of
Michigan, has withdrawn by resignation from the
church of which he a member As his reason for
his act he condemns great many things the church
is doing trying to do, particularly its activities
along political lines
Here is where Mr.. Earle puts himself on rather
thin ice. While there is political connection be-
tween church and state in the United States,
and under the constitution the practice of religion is
absolutely free and unrestricted and our national
motto is "In God We Trust" amount of special
pleading will disguise the fact that the church
has been and is tremendous influence in ma
tional life. 1t would be sad commentary the
leaders of the church if they did not take active
and intelligent interest in government
Ministers are moral leaders, guiding and direct
ing the thoughts and the lives of their people along
right lines. Ne element of denomnationalism enters
into this phase of the activities of the church. Re-
gardless of creed confession, ministers of every
sect concern themselves with the habits and manners
of the communities in which they live Some
more jealous than others, in that they presume to
deal with matters that properly should be left to
others, yet even these can bring show of logic to
support them in their position
Another Of Mr.. Earle's charges is that many
minister's some in his own town. are looking for
advertisement more than anything else That is
difficult thing to demonstrate, yet it may rest on the
natural bent of most folks. Few are modest that
they do not relish little favorable attention to what
ever they are doing. To call man "P. 7.
Barnum' is rather complimentary, for Mr.. Barnum
was one Of Americas greatest advertisers, and made
a tremendous success from properly directed pub
licity A dispassonate reading of the reasons set
for by the late commissioner of roads of Michigan,
who says he is going to start church of his own,
inclnes us to the opinion that he has followed the
example of the great Snowman, who said the Amer
ican people like to be humbugged

CELEBRATING A BIRTHDAY.

The theatrical coup staged by Hitler, Luden-
dorff and others of the Bavarian fascist to
have failed. Its leaders incorrectly estimated the
attitude of the German people, who, although sorely
perplexed and harassed from within and from with
out have not yet despaired of being able to govern
themselves The Republic of Germany, barely five
years old, is not be throttled in its infancy by ad
vocates of the overthrown system of imperialism.
This does not that tranquility will return
at once to the Germans. Whatever their external
problems may be- the internal conflict between Marx
ianism and fascism will be troublesome, SO long as
the present generation continues. Supporters of i'm
perialism, to whom the principles Of republicanism
abhorent do not resign themselves readily to the
doctrines Of free government, and may be reason
able expected to agitate and foment movements for
the restoration Of the imperial state with its classes
and orders sharply marked as existed prior to
the abdication of the kaiser in November, 1918. The
republican leaders realize this and the socialist ele-
ment among the people is also keenly alive to the
danger, and may be depended upon to resist to the
utmost any effort at putting on throne any repre-
sentative of royal line, whether Prussian or Bavar-
ian The fatherland today is that of the people and
not of privileged family.
CONSERVATION at Paris over the outbreak at
Munich excites a smile. Although the French gov
rnnent had solemnly declared that no dictatorship
would be permitted in Germany the fascist leaders

ooked foris hard to conceive. The unyeldng course
If the French government has not been calculated
assist the controlling group at Berlin in firmly
establishing order and solidy founding the republic
IN the contrary Ebert and his associates have been
riven almost to despair to meet the exactions and
comply with the demands made by Poincare, and so
nave been weakened to that extent in their home
position. Looking at the situation from this dis
tance the unavoidable conclusion is that the dis
sension among the Germans is just what the French
seek.
However deep the misery, sore the trial, the
patriotic devotion of the German people to their own
interests must engage the attention OF the world,
and the sympathy of all lovers of freedom Hitler

Is Wy Deyond that, no doubt, when
one has to buy it. How, then. can
the poorer citizens of the towns pay
MS great price for butter? It sesms
to me that to bring down the price
M4lnn tneIr reach the farmer should
be willing to give up few hours OF
his time. Any expert mixer could
take on a dozen or more cows in an
hour, then allow an extra hour twice

only four hours TO the day. / don

and that's an end Of II.
However, all is not lost yet. The
Commercial clubs and bankers are in
terested. and when they put their
shoulder to the wheel great things are
accomplished Why not, then, let
these gentlemen, instead Of lending
the mulish farmers money. just buy
the COWS themselves and thus get all
the praise. The farmers have had
more than their share now. IL the
back yards are too small or missing,
that need not worry them. They can
put up quarters at the country cluU.

real happiness until She has washed

The more I think o. this plan the
more 1t appeals to me. Think of all
these phiIanthropists forced TO spend
time on golf and in the clubs for en-
tertainment after their work is done
when they might have been milking
their own nice little herd Of Il COWS
