Blue and White Features Eally Day
with a Win from the Auburn
Huskies Score 19 to 0
From Thursday's raily
Yesterday afternoon was rally day
at the Plattsmouth schools for the
pep program that was to mark the
Auburn-Plattsmouth meeting on the
football field, which has been an an
nual event for the past few years.
There was lots of enthusiasm in
the parade that moved from the high
school at 3:30 for the football field,
headed by the Auburn and Platts
mouth teams and with a large num
ber of comical features as well as
suggestive signs of what was in store
for the Auburn team before the af
ternoon was over. The goat that was
supposed to represent the Nemaha
county city was also in the line of
march and was truly a hard old ani
mal. The Plattsmouth team played one
of the best games that they have ever
shown on the gridiron in several sea
sons and bore down on their oppon
ents with an offensive that could not
be stopped and which resulted in the
final score of 19 to 0 in favor of
the locals.
There was no one in the team that
could not justly claim to have been
an important factor in winning, but
the work of Joe Krejci in making
many long end runs for great gains
as well as his passes, swift as a bul
let and accurate, permitted the locals
to score two of their touchdowns.
In the opening quarter Platts
mouth started a series of line smashes
that they followed down the field,
playing straight football in gaining
a place within striking distance of
the Auburn goal. Krejci and Hart
ford advanced the ball by a series
of runs and line smashes and from
the five yard line Gorder drove over
for the touchdown, but the goal kick
was lost.
In opening of the second quarter
Auburn was threatening at one stage
of the game and only by the most
desperate fight'ng were the visitors
held on the Plattsmouth three yard
line for the four downs. The Auburn
team advanced on a series of end
runs and passes that gained them a
great deal of ground and allowed
them to menace the Plattsmouth
goal, but the stone wall defense of
the locals broke up their game and
the first half ended with the ball
In the center of the field.
On the kickoff Gorder nailed the
runner on the Auburn 30 yard line
and the battle was confined to the
territory of the visitors. The second
touchdown of the game was made by
Plattsmouth on a beautiful fake and
pass from Krejci to Godwin, who
planted the ball back of the line fori
a touchdown.
In this portion of the game, Krejci,
Godwin, Hartford and Gorder were
in the limelight on being assigned
the task of carrying the ball and
was given great support by his
teammates.
In the last quarter Krejci again
made a great 40 yard pass that was
a beauty, but which just escaped the
outstretched hands of Godwin and
made necessary the use of other plays
to gain the ground needed and Krejci
intercepted a pass for a great gain
for the locals and with a fake kick
also tore through the line for a gain
that brought the ball in the Auburn
territory. The final touchdown was
made when Krejci passed to Glaze,
who was at the Auburn goal line for
a touchdown.
The game was a real one and en
courages the locals for the game with
Nebraska City which is scheduled
for Thanksgiving.

BANKERS TO ASK
FOR A SEPARATE
DEPARTMENT
Association Will Present Resolutions
to Legislature For Change
Request Other Changes.
Lincoln. Nov. 7. With the elec
tion over, the first move for a pro
gram of legislation at the session
which will begin on January 6 show
ed its bead today when the state
banking department released a set of
resolutions adopted by the State
Rankers' association, and which are
to be pressed as needed legislation
by the association as soon as the ses
sion convenes.
The resolutions promise a lively
fight whenever they appear before
the lawmakers. They call for what
amounts to a complete separation of
the banking department from the
state government. It is suggested
that the bureau of banking be en
tirely separated from the rest of the
departments grouped together by the
code law under the general head of
the department of trade and com
merce. Instead of the governor selecting
unhampered the head of the depart
ment, as provided in the present law.
the bankers would have this official
selected from a list of perhaps three
nominee? to be nominated by the
bankers themselves. The selection
would still be made by the governor,
but the field would be narrowed
down to a limited number of possi
bilities. All of the funds collected from ex
amination fees charged against the
banks, and which now go into the
state treasury, would be turned over
to the hanking department to be
used entirely for this department
alone.
Beside? these provisions it is also
suggested that the department of
banking be permitted to determine
the double liability of stockholders
in failed banks, and that the head of
the deportment be able to certify
this liability in a certificate which
would then operate as a lien upon
the property of stockholders of the
banks to the extent of their double
liability.
An amendment to the guaranty
fund law is requested which would
clearly specify the nature of depos
its such as are protected by the fund
and such as are not protected.
Secretary Knudson said that the
intent of the resolutions and the pro
posed legislation was to take the
department of banking "out of poli
tics." He said that the bankers, at
the meeting at which the resolutions
were passed, expressed their high
appreciation and approval and man
ner in which this department had
been conducted during his tenure of
office.

DEMOCRATS WERE
HIT HARDER BY SOS
THAN REPUBLICANS
Election Figures Coiifirm Opinion of
Republicans that Opponents
Would be Hurt Most
From Saturday's Dally
Although exact proof is lacking.
the election returns confirm very
strikingly the prediction of republi
can leaders that the democrats were
contributing more votes to La Fol-
lette than were the republicans.
Past political contests in the
state fairly justify the statement
that with the women voting the
republicans have an eeigc of about
50, (uit on the democrats, when
there are not disturbing factors. As
there were about 4oI,0(mi votes cast,
the normal division would have been
yO.OOO for the republicans and 2UU,-
0 0) lor the democrats.
Coolidge emerges with about
12,000, Davis with 1CG.0O0 and La
Follette with 10.1, 000. Where did
the latter come from? Coulidge poll
ed CS.0O0 less than the normal re
publican vote and Davis 04,000 less
than he wciuld doubtless have got it
La Follette had not been in the field.
While this is an arbitrary number
it indicates quite clearly that the
democrats contributed about (0 per
cent of the La Follette vote and the
republicans about 40 per cent.
This calculation is buttressed by
the testimony available if one de
sires to go through the various coun
ties. Platte and Cuming are two
of the strongest democratic counties
in the state usually. La Follette car
ried boh of them. In Douglas coun
ty Coolidge got 10.000 more than
either La Follette or Davis but 10.-
000 less than the two together. As
Douglas is a close county usually.
this supplies added proof. Organize 1
labor there is strong, and mostly
democratic, and it went lor La Fol
lette.
PAVING WORK BEING RUSHED
From Saturday's Dnily
The new paving district on
Granite and Ninth and Tenth streets
is a scene of the greatest activity the
last few days as the laying of the
concrete is proceeding and in a very
short time that portion of the city
will have one of the best streets in
the city instead of the worst as has
been the condition in the last sum
mer and spring. On Granite street
especially it has been almost impos
sible to get through with a car at
times as the roadway was washed
out and very rough and in places the
washed holes was threatening to un
dermine the curb and gutter that
has been there for the past sever;.!
years.
The paving will give a fine drive
way from Mam street to Chicago
avenue that will be available in all
kinds of weather and be a credit to
that part . of the city where there
are located a number of the most
attractive homes in the community.
The work is being done under tie
F. L. Busche Co. of Omaha and with
a large array of equipment they are
pushing the work along in great
shape and wil soon have the concrete
laid and in the next two weeks
should have the street open for
travel The change in the condition
there will be much appreciated by
the residents and especially those
who have automobiles and have had
to travel over the rough and poorly
kept up street.
The enlargement of the district
from what was first intended will
also make it much better as in the
beginning the district included only
two blocks on Granite street, but
has been enlarged to include several
of the adjoining streets that open cn
Granite.
RED CROSS NURSES
An enrolled reserve of 4 47 Red
Cross nurses available in emergency
to the Army. Navy. U. S. Public
Health Service and Veterans' Bureau
nd for service in epidemic is an ac
complishment of the Red Cross inNo-
braska. These loyal women realiz
ing that such service is invaluable
to their state are constantly working
to enlarge the state unit.
There are 41,000 enrolled Red
Cross nurses in the American Na
tional Red Cross ready at all tim'S
to serve their felloy citizens. The
value of this reserve was proved
during the World War when it was
possible to supply nurses immediately
without waiting tc set up a new
organization. In numerous disas
ters, these nurses have been called
upon for services.
The records are kept-up-to-date at
all times so that in the various Divi
sion offices of the Red Cross, it is
always possible to locate nurses nt
a moment's notice. It is your sup
port of the Red Cross that makes
possible thts important phase of Red
Cross work. Give your confidence
and support thru membership.
Why is it that nearly 75 per cent
of our people think of the Red Cross
in terms of the Red Cross Nurse?
It is easily explained when one con
siders that nearly every community
knows of her helpful service in some
way or other. Nursing Service touch
ers nearly every Red Cross activity in
the United States or abroad.
First there is the public health
nurse. Nine hundred Red Cross
nurses are teaching classes in Home
Hygiene and Care of the Sick. Others
are overseas carrying the message of
health and still others are in Govern
ment service, 1.54 8 in the Veterans'
Bureau Nurse Corps working among
the disabled ex-service men In hos
pitals and camps.
The public health nurses visit
nearly 60.000 schools or about 1,500
every week during the school year.
More than a million homes welcome
her as a friend and counselor and de
pend upon her advice. One hundred
and forty-eight new services were
added last year and 75 nursing serv
ices taken over as a proper munici
pal or county function.
In Nebraska alone. 17 Red Cross
public nurses are employed by local
chapters and other organizations.
During the past years the lied Cross
has done pioneer public health nurs
ing in 43 of the 9 3 counties in the
slate. Your support of the Red Cross
makes possible this health work
which is doing so much in preven
tion, sanitation and hygiene.

STOP AT CROSSING
LAW IS PROPOSED
Coirdnq; Legislature will See Keasure
Introduced EequiringStopping
of Cars at Crossings.
Tho coining session of the Nebras
ka legislature will see introduced a
measure that will be of statewide
interest and particularly to the auto
ist that is in the habit of making
the railroad crossing at full speed
and seeing if they can beat tne train
to the crossing.
The railroads of the state have
conducted an intensive campaign for
safety first movements that would
eliminate the dangers of reckless
driving over the railroad crossings,
but with apparent little success as
there nave been in the past year a
large number of very serious and
costly accidents that have resulted
in the loss of life of several persons.
Now it is pr"poed that the state
legislature pass a lav.- requiring that
all autos and trucks when approach
ing a railroad crossing eome to a
full stop and the driver make an in
vestigation as to whether there are
any trains approaching the crossing
and if so to wait until after the
train has passed before crossing over
and thereby eliminating the dangers
that come from dashing across in
front of an approaching train
If the drivers would voluntarily
exercise this care there would be no
need of a law of this kind, but the
reckless disregard of the safety of
the public make" it necessary. The
railroad has the right to use the
tracks and the public in using the
grade crossings should exercise the
proper amount of judgment.
The mot.sure which is to be drawn
by the legal department of the Union
Purine railroad, win be introduced
by a member of the legislature from
Platte county. Representative Re
gan and with strong support is ex
pected to be enacted. It will make
j the cifi'cnse of violation a misdemean
j or i zid punishable by a fine.

THE NEWSPAPER
AS A PUBLIC UTIL
ITY IS DSGUSSEI
Serving of the Interests cf the Pub
lic a Responsibility That is
Not Always Understood.
Editor Marvin of the Beatrice
moralizes about the responsibility of
the newspaper to serve its commun
ity. In a recent editorial he says:
"A public utility, such as a news
paper, must serve all of the people
and advance all the legitimate in
terests of the community in which
it operates.
"The chief function of a nevs-r:'-er
is to collect and publish the
news. This may seem a very easy
tl ing tod o. and the methods of do
ing it have been fairly well defined,
bu when it comes to pleasing every
body, particularly rival interests,
the news editor lias a difficult task.
"Protagonists of one cause and
another appeal to the news editor to
put the thing they are interested in
l'pon the first page and under the
largest head that the paper uses.
They are not interested in making
the newspapers readable, but they
do wish to advance the particular
cruse which they advocate. If some
really important news of the day
happens to come in and crowd their
p;-t item into a subordinate poi
fioii, they take it ns an evidence of
favoritism and unfairness on the part
oi the man who makes up the pages.
"The news editor who uses his
l ead displays the news in propor
tion to its importance. A meeting
rf the chamber of commerce which
had labored and brought forth a
resolution on the subject of railroad
rates might get a prominent position
en the first page on some days, but
if it happened to occur upon a day
vhn a prominent citizen was assas
sinated, or when one of the stores on
Mrin street was robbed or the court
house was burned, the resolution
r,:ight get very little space in the
pa per.
"It is but natural that the ndvo
entes of some particular cause or
movement, intensely interested in
that particular thing, have a dis
torted idea of its news value. The
man who arranges the news, having
the interests of the newspaper at
heart, an actuated by a desire to
make it readable and interesting to
the readers, approaches the subject
from a different angle than does the
advocate of some particular cause
which only a part of the community
caren anything about.
"There may have been uttered
sometime, somewhere, a word of
thanks for a newspaper's fair and
impartial handling of a matter of
news, but such words are not com
mon. It is far more common for the
advocate of the special cause, which
somebody wants boomed and pro
