Just why any one in these United
States should be celebrating the birth
day OF this gentleman. whom reliable
historians record was "a traitor and
a murderer" is a little hazy to serious
minded Americans-but celebrate the
day they did with feast. OF course
no one present had the bad taste to
refer to the sad iakiug-off of the IL
lustrious Charles for whose offences
Cromwell in a TT of temper chopped
off his head.
II would be difficult to imagine a

perhaps. a group OF pious people were
to assemble to toast the cleverness OF

Top Page of Thomas Diary Shows
Unexciting But Satisfactory Day

Elmer Thomas, new prohibition di-
rector for Nebraska. spent Friday.
his first day in office. without en-
gaging in a single raid or gun battle,
and without seizing a single drop of
contraband liquor.
As outlined by Thomas, his first
day In office was distressingly unex-
citing. but the new director said he
was entirely satisfied with II.
As II is conceived by the average
layman the job of making the state
dry probably entails the daily duty
of lodging fusillades OF bootleggers
bullets. engaging In desperate hand
to-hand encounters with dangerous
law violators and dashing about in
high.powcred automobiles.
But here Is how Director Thomas
spent his first day:

building and took the oath OF
