 Yesterday fair sized crowd gath cred to hear the Communists exploit >their platform for state offices. The speakers were from out Of town, we believe, though sometimes it is difficult to gather all of the de- tails concerning their actions. Their main idea, We are told, in advocating reform is to kick out | the bosses of industry
 Which has been the rallylng cry | of the improvident ever since man had the power Of speech. And with few exceptions has never been successful. The exceptions have come about through such great suppression and exploitation that men have been driven to desperation. Which has not been the case in the United States, as yet How anyone with grain of con- mon sense and fifty cents III his pocket can listen to the plan is be- yond us.
 It's a great scheme, if it would work. but it boils down to one essen- tial.
 "Kick out the bosses" and le. someone else boss you.
 The trouble is with the malcon- tents that they have no boss.
 And are not capable of being bosses themselves. Of course it rained Labor Day, it always does. Seems that we wished 1t would not inthese columns last Saturday. Oh well, even newspaper has no influence with nature.

 Harmful, He Says

Springfield, H., Jan. 2S.--lRl- Roar Admiral W. $. Crosley, con- mandcnt of tho Great Lakes naval training station, believes any dc- crease in the size Of the American navy would be "harmtully utcm- peratc." He addressed Springfield business men today.
 "Wc read q great deal ahoUt thc cost of the navy. but in none of IlHs literature have seen it stated thai such moneys as you spend for the iu- suranCc %Onr navy gives you is otherwise not lost" he said. T have not seen it stated that money spent for building cruiser remains in this country and adds 10 iDs economic prosperity, nor do l recall any statement that the pay of olIi- ccrs and men is. generally speak ing, spent in this cOuntry.'
 He said many persons prior to 1914 "boldly stated there were to be no moro wars"
 "Somc of these persons arc still alive and despite what they have learned since August. 19li. they still make that statement" he said. NO one hopes moro strongly than l that they may be right, but | am unable 10 believe it; my knowledge of history and human nature pre- vents me from believing it, which l regret"

NEBRASKA JUDGE
 RULES LAW VOID
Personal Injunction ill Federal
 Liquor Cases Illegal

Omaha. Neb., Jan. 23.--(Pt-Thc use of personal injunctions against habitual liquor law vioators was declared unconstitutiona yesterday by Federal Judge J, w. Wood- rough.
 In the same opinion Judge Wood, rough held that the United States supreme court must eventually pass upon that section Of the na- tional prohibition act permitting such injunctons.
 Made in Nebraska Case
 Judge Woodrough's decision was made in the case of Frank Cunning. ham, of Scotts Bluff, Ncb, against whom government prosecutors sought q personal injunction. Gun ningham had been arrested several times previously for liquor law violations.
 The request was dismissed with the statement that the section of the Ia " Itl llllttlllS pciSOllil IlJulCllOllS had been a dead letter for 10 years because it shocks common sense and common understanding of the constitution" Had the court granted the govern ment's request to enioin Cunning ham from bootlcsging, it was point cd out, the latter upon a Subse- quent arrest, could be jailed for contempt of court for violation Of q federal injunction. Judge Gives Reasons In setting out reasons why he held the use of such injunctions unconstitutional, Judge Wood- rough said:
 "Thcrc runs through the act the idea that the man himself. the hu- man being, is a nuisance. and so be- yond the pale of the right of trial by jury
 Judge Woodrouoh's ruling is con- trary 10 one previously handed down by another Nebraska jurst. Federal Judge T. C. Munger, of Lincoln. who held that personal in | functions in such cases arc Consti- tutional,

Given Until February Roland w. Boydcn, war claims ar bitter, has given representatives ot both governments until February to submit new material for oral ar gument that will begin early in April. It will be just year in April since the mixed claims com mission, composed of the arbter and a German and an American commissioner, closed what was sup posedly the final argument in the case.
 It was about four months after that hearing that German officials announced Woznayk's appearance in the building in which the com mission sits-and asked permission to include his story in the record. Fire Started At His Bench
