The whole revelation should stir an instant vrath in every American’s heart and a prompt in- vestigation by congress. Probably much irrevo- sable harm already has been done. But surely something can be accomplished in the future. The obligation of the nation toward these men is of he profoundest and solemnest description. It yas so sacred and the corresponding need so pa- hetic and noble that the public assumed that it nust be met faithfully and well.

Brutes are neither right-handed nor left-handec “nd brutes do not talk. But after human infants ave learned to crawl they begin to use one hand nore than the other for skilled movements. At bout the same time they begin to talk and tc inderstand spoken words. Now the power to hear wises, as a dog hears them, and to make the cries hat animals make depends as much upon one side of the brain as upon the other. But the skilled‘ movements, that human beings learn to aerform with one hand only, are controlled from only one side of the brain, namely the left side with right-handed people and the right side with left-handed people. It has been discovered that she understanding of words and the specialized movements of speech depend upon that same side of the brain, whichever it may happen to be. So ‘here is a connection in the brain between the ‘ongue and the favored hand. That is why it up- sets speech wher one tries too hard to change a natural left-handedness. WHO DOES IT AND WHY?

It reads: “The Lowden campaign, managers are pretty busy in Chicago.

He said he was a revolutionist, that he believed in the manifesto of the communists, that he favored overthrowing the American government by viol- ence, and that he was ready to “fight” for that “prin Already we have too many crack-brained or per- verse legislators liable to do mischief, and we should get into a pretty mess if such men as Git- low were freely allowed to bring their poison into our legislative halls. Justice Weeks well said that the jury’s verdict of guilty in the Gitlow case was “a distinct benefit to the country’—adding: “There must be a right in this organized state to protect itself. If citizens who accept the benefit of organized government do not recognize that the government that protects them can only be over- thrown by lawful means, then it is difficult to see how civilization can be maintained.” The con- viction of Gitlow ought to have a salutary effect not only aiong the active cncmes of law and ‘The English is hereby declared to be the of- ‘ficial language of this state, and all official, : proceedings, records and publications shall be < in such language and the common school : branches shall be taught in said language, in } public, private, denominational and parochial ‘ « schools. ! That is to say, no one in Nebraska will be able to go to school and not acquire the English lan-|‘ guage. No child can grow up in Nebraska and not know English. The language of instruction must be English in all schools, public and private. The essential consideration, universal command 6f the English language, is assured.
