II SPECIAL SESSION

MR. BRYAN SEES WORK FOR NE-BRASKA LEGISLATORS.

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM

Letter to Democratic Members Ask-ing Their Views in Reference

to the Proposed Extra Session.

Hon. W. J. Bryan has mailed a let-

ter to all democratic members of thelast legislature asking them if theywill support an initiative and refer-endum resolution for the submissionof a constitutional amendment tothat effect at the general electionthis fall.

He has also asked J. H. Msckett,Jr.. president of the Nebraska DirectLegislation league to get a poll of therepublican members. The letter fdrmost part follows:

My Dear Sir: The failure of thelegislature to rbmlt the initiativeand referendum at its regular sessionhas brought county option which isdirect legislation into the presentcampaign, and this question Is draw-ing attention from national issues. Itis unfortunate that this should be thecase at this time when six congress-men are to be elected, and when asenator is to be chosen by the nextlegislature.

Unless the mistake made by thelegislature can be remedied, our par-

ty will be confronted by a very seri-ous situation. It might promise in Itsplatform to submit the initiative andreferendum at the next session, but itcould hardly expect to be trusted tosubmit the measure next ime if witha democratic governor, senate andhouse it is unable to do so. now, un-

less it declares its Independence ofspecial interests.

In my opinion the best way to meetthe situation is by the submission ofths initiative and referendum by acalled session of the legislature andI have no doubt that Governor Shal-lenberg- er

will call such a special ses-

sion if assured that a majority ofboth houses will support the initiative and referendum resolution,which will give to the people thelegislative machinery through whichthey could legislate upon any ques-

tion In which they are Interested. Acalled session would also doubtlessratify the income tax amendment

If it is not possible to submit theInitiative and referendum for ratifica-tion as a constitutional amendmentat the election this fall, nothing isleft for our party to do but to de-

clare for the initiative and referendum and county option in its stateplatform this summer. In order toascertain whether an initiative andreferendum resolution would pass Incase of a special session being called,I take the liberty of submitting thequestion to you and to the other dem-

ocratic members of the senate andhouse. Please wire me at once, atmy expense, whether you would bewilling to support such a resolutionat a special session.

In a written statement regardinghis letter to democratic members, Mr.Bryan says: "I hope that the dem-ocratic and republican papers that fa-

vor the initiative and referendumwill take the matter up and urge thepassage of the initiative and referen-dum resolution. It might be well forthe committeemen and all others,both democrats and republicans, whoare Interested in the present cam-paign, to see these senators and mem-bers who didn't support the meas-ure at the last session and point outto them the importance of the specialsecsion. o

Hughes Is Appreciative.In reply to its telegram of congrat-

ulations over his appointment as amember of the United States su-

preme court, the State Railway com-mission has received the followingmessage from Governor Hughes:

Vannees Writes AgainC. C. Vanness, a member of the

Soldiers' home at Grand Island, who,for complaining of the meat betas;served to the old veterans, wascharged by the democrats with tryingto stir up trouble for poUtlcal rea-sons, has denied the charge In a let-

ter to Secretary of State Junkln.Vanness said he would show to anyperson who visited the home that thesoldiers were not fed good meat andthat those who could not come therecould be convinced by calling uponthe governor and asking for reports.

STATE FIRE WARDEN

'Seeks to Have Instruction in thtSchools.

A. V. Johnson, state fire warden,has written a letter to State Superin-tendent Bishop suggesting that a dayor an hour of some day each month beset aside for the teachers to instructtheir pupils about how to prevent firesand what to do In some emergencies.It is Mr. Johnson's idea that if thechildren are taught the dangerous useof gasoline and kerosene and what todo In case of explosion, as well as howto prevent fires by keeping refuseburned and the danger of permittingold papers to be stac-ne- d in an atticor closet that the lessons now learnedwill remain with them always.

Mr. Johnson gave out the followingstatement:

The Nebraska Fire commission,whose business it Is to do everythingpossible for the prevention of firewaste desires to direct public atten-tion to the necessity of a generalcleanup during the spring time. De-

bris that has accumulated during thewinter months should be thoroughlycleared away. The reasons for thisare obvious, one which might be men-

tioned is that this debris is often re-

sponsible for spontaneous combustion,which, more prevalent during the hotsummer months than during the cold-

er period. Is generally regarded by ex-

perienced fire fighters as one of thechief causes of what are called "un-known fires."

Too often houses are built withoutgiving proper consideration to atticventilation; the hot summer sun beatson the roof, the heat in the attic be-

comes intense and with the attic filledwith rubbish, dust, oily rags, highlyvarnished pieces of furniture or otheraccumulations spontaneous combus-tion is a natural result

Closets are often used for storingaway greasy overalls, old clothes andoily rags, such closets should be thor-oughly cleaned and this is particularlytrue of the closet under the stairway.which is too often permitted to be-

come a fire trap immediately underthe only way of escape from the upperstories of the building.

This Is the season for varnishingand painting, hence old rags used forwiping greasy wood and varnished sur-faces should be burned; If they mustbe saved for future use they shouldbe kept in an Iron receptacle substan-tially covered and set away from thewood buildings.

Paint and oily rags, varnish andwaste, used to wipe machinery areparticularly liable to spontaneous com-

bustion.We desire to suggest that when peo-

ple are removing thair stoves for thesummer months. If they would be care-ful to see that the hole in the chim-ney was stopped with a metal thimbleand not with paper or rags it wouldprevent a great many fires.

New Fraternal Organization.The Clansmen of America, of

Omaha, a new fraternal organization,has been licensed to do business inthis state. The rates of the new com-pany are not up to the fraternal con-gress standard and consequently didnot meet with the approval of the au-

ditor. Nevertheless, under the insur-ance law a license must be issuedwhen 250 applications have beensigned, no matter what the rates maybe.

Money for Soldiers' Homes.Governor Sha'.lenberger received

from the government warrants for $9,-17- 5

for the use of the two soldiers'homes. The money is apportioned atthe rate of $100 for each member ofthe home. At Grand Island there are255 members and at Milford 112.

Missouri Pacific Loses.Maggie Wollenburg. who won a

damage suit against the Missouri Pa-cific in the district court of Douglascounty, after having been tossed somesixty-fiv- e feet by an engine, won outalso in the supreme court

Cost of Life Insurance.Figured on the basis of the vote cast

in 1908. every man in Nebraska whohas attained his majority spent $13.70for life insurance last year. This rep-

resents an Increase over the precedingyear.

New LieutenantThe adjutant general's office has au-

thorized the election of a second lieu-

tenant in the Gatling gun section atBeatrice, that section having recentlyincreased its strength to thirty men.

Go to Fort Riley.There will be no state camp for the

Nebraska national guard this year, ex-

cepting the rifle teams. All the restof the guard will be taken to FortRiley. Adjutant General Hartlgan hasrefigured the expense of taking theguard, amounting In all to about 1.100men, and believes that he can send allof the boys to Fort Riley on the $30.-00-0

that Is available for the purpose.Some of the companies may, however,be left behind unless they are ableto show a strength of at least forty-thre- e

men.

Net Like Sample.Superintendent Percival of the Nor-

folk asylam has notified the stateboard of public lands and buildingsthat the coffee delivered to his institu-tion by-th- e H.P. Law company' doesnot conform to the sample which wassubmitted to the board when the con-

tract waa let Dr. Percival sent asample of the coffee to the board andaccording to Secretary of State Junkinit la not like the coffee that wasbought The superintendent will benotified to reject the shipment as soonaa the board can get together.

Model Submitted in Fall.Daniel C. French, who has a con-

tract to construct the Lincoln monu-ment, to be located on the groundsof the state house, has written to F. M.Hall that he will not submit the modelmtil next fall. Mr. French said in:1s letter that the model bad beencompleted, but that he is shortly leav-n- g

for Europe and therefore he de--vir- es

to look over it again before send-n- g

PLEASES SCHURNUN

Cornell President Sees Good inBig Philanthropy Scheme.

Believes Congress Should Grant Request for National Ch.ter

Would Change Only OneSmall Detail.

Ithaca, N. T. In an addressbefore the Council congress onFriday night President Jacob GouldSchurman of Cornell commended thescheme for the Rockefeller foundationfor which congress has been askedfor a national charter. PresidentSchurman devoted his entire speechof several thousand words to this sub-ject and In summing up he said:

"I recognize that section No. 2 of thebill, which defines the object of theRockefeller foundation, authorizes andempowers that foundation to do any-thing and everything which may pro-mote and advance human civilization,that is to say, morals and religion, artand science, manners snd social Inter-course, and aU that concerns the po-

litical, economic, and material wellbeing of Individuals snd communities.This is a vast field for the exercise ofphilanthropy.

"But Mr. Rockefeller has conceiveda vast scheme of philanthropy, for thebenefit of his fellow citizens and man-kind. His character, ability and or,ganlzing skill are adequate guaranteesthat he will carry out his schemewisely and successfully, with incal-culable benefit and blessing to man-Lin- d.

It is in the interest of the na-

tion that he be given a free band inthe exTcise of his colossal benefi-cence. So long as he is active or hisInfluence remains It would be wiseand safe to give the foundation thesort of organization he desires. Neith-er now nor hereafter does it seem nec-essary to limit the scope of his benefi-cence, which Is coextensive with theefforts of mankind to attain a highercivilization.

"The only change I would desire tosee In the proposed bill is the total orpartial elimination of the method cfselecting trustees by Theorganization might well be left a closecorporation, if Mr. Rockefeller so de-

sires, for a generation. But after thattime I am confident that it would inureboth to the efficiency of the foundationand to the public welfare to say noth-ing of the satisfaction of the sentimentof a democracy If the majority of thetrustees were appointed by the presi-

dent of the United States, with theadvice and consent of the senate, orselected by some other high abiding,governmental agencies that may fairlybe regar-Ie- d as representing the peo-ple of the United States, whose wel-

fare is the primary object of the im-

mense and glorious benefaction."

HARD HEARTS ARE MELTED.W. J. Ford, for five years aa em-

ploye of the National Roofing Co.,tells a tale of suffering that wouldmove the hardest heart He writesthe following letter telUng how hewas quickly cured by the United Doc-

tors, those master medical specialists,who have their Omaha Institute at232 Neville block, corner Sixteenthand Harney streets.

Omaha. Neb.. March 9. 1910."For ten weeks I lay flat on my back

with Sciatic rheumatism and kidneytrouble and could not move myself inthe bed and when I was moved, couldscarcely bear tho excruciating pain.I had three physicians and tried threoor four different kinds of patent medicine in the hope of finding somethingthat would relieve the terrible agonyfor I could not move hand or footwithout suffering more than It seemedpossible for one to suffer and live,but nothing seemed to help me.

One day a friend whose wife wasunder treatment by the United Doc-

tors, came to see me. He told mehow quickly she had been helpedfrom the first by these wonderfulspecialists and how well she had beenever since, and urged me to make agreat effort to get to their offices oathe second floor of the Neville block,corner Sixteenth and Harney streets.I hired a man to help me and he hadto almost carry me Into their office.That was four weeks' ago and today Iwalked Into their effice without eventhe use of a cane. In two days afterbeginning the treatment I could notice-a- n

improvement and it has been asteady and gradual Improvement eversince.
