INTEGRITY OF OFFICE URGED
Des Moines, Nov. 8. Cd-operation
of teachers in molding public opinion
to the attainment of the intent of the
constitution, -and in view every con
troversy by the same rules of Jus
tice, was urged before the Iowa State
Teachers association here Friday by
.Tii dee Florence Allen, first woman
supreme court justice in Ohio.
"As I look into history,"
Judge Allen said, "I find that
the frame work of our govern
ment was achieved for one rea
son mainly, and that was that
the man of training and talent
of that day co-operated in the
building of government.
"They did not deem it be
neath themselves to fill what are
sometimes held to be small offi
cial positions with small sal
aries." We have slipped back from the old
conception, to demand the same stan
dard of integrity in public life as in
our individual relationships, she
said.
We have slipped hack from the old
conception that every branch of our
governmental life is to be Handled
for the interest solely of the people
who constitute the state, she con
cluded.

Gandy, Nebr., where the men had
been on a hunting trip, Mr. Dennis
and Mr. Philpot met with a severe
accident, when a tire on Mr. Dennis'
Studebaker blew out while going
down hill, landing them in a deep
ditch, and inflicting gashes in Mr.
Philpot's head, which required 12
stitches to close. The accident oc
curred near Ravenna, Nebr., and Mr.
Philpot was taken to that city for
medical aid, and was -placed in the
hospital there until able to return
home. He received no other injuries
aside from the cuts, and Mr. Dennis
received an injury to his back.
Unaware of the accident. Sward

Ministerial
Association ,
Holds Meeting
Session at Louisville Attended by a
Number of the Clergymen
of the County.
The ministers of the Cass County
Ministerial Association assembled for
their regular meeting in the Meth
odist Episcopal church at Louisville,
Neb., Monday, Nov. 4th at 10:30 a.
m. On account of the absence of
Rev. C. Lewien, the chairman. Rev.
H. E. Sortor kindly asked Rev. O.
Wichmann, pastor, of the Evangel
ical Synod church of Plattsmouth, to
take charge of the devotional service.
Rev. H. G. McClusky, thereafter,
read a well prepared essay on the
theme, entitled, "The Supreme Ser
vice of a Church to a Community."
This essay was replete with deep,
careful thought, interest and instruc
tion. The three main divisions of the
paper were: 1. The Church Politi
cal; 2. The Church Physical; 3. The
Church Spiritual.
A very profitable general discus
sion followed the reading of the essay
in which the various pastors par
ticipated. This discussion proved to
be a great inspiration and blessing
to all concerned. At 12:15 p. m
light refreshments were served and
an nour was spent in muiuai, ira-
ternal fellowshiD which was Im
mensely enjoyed by all.
The next meeting will be held the
second Tuesday in December in the
M. E. church at Weeping "Water
Rev. O. G. Wichmann was delegated
to write an essay on the theme, "The
Relieious Contribution Which the
German People Have Made to Amer
ica.
SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY
"The safety movement today is
essentially spiritual rather than ma
terial," said Albert Whitney. Acting
General Manager of the National
Bureau of Casualty and Surety Un
derwriters, in a recent address
"Mechanical guarding is only an evi
dence of something more fundamen
tal, namely, a changed attitude of
mind."
Industrial safety, according to earl
ier conceptions, was considered . ex
trinsic, something that could be ap
plied from without. It was regarded
as being detached from the funda
mentals of the production process.
It was even the general opinion that
safety measures would retard the
speed of industry and make it less
efficient.
Now a safety ideal, based on a new
philasophy, has become evident. The
day of the short-sighted industrialist.
scoffing at safety as being impracti
cal, is over. It is generally realized
that safety is an integral part of in
dustrial efficiency and economy. No
modern executive can afford not to
take the steps that will make his
place of business as safe as possible.
We are a long way from perfec
tion in the safety movement. But
knowledge is spreading; the great
factory of today is a marvel of safety
compared to the factories of the
past. The bond between safety and
efficiency and good business cannot
be severed.

Warns Against
Speed on Arter
ial Streets
Supreme Court States That Drivers
Have No Special Right-of-Way
Privilege.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 6. An opinion
today by the Nebraska supreme court
hinged upon an appeal by William
S. McCulley, Omaha, a minor, from
an adverse Judgment in Douglas
county district court in his 40 thou
sand dollar claim for personal in
juries against Andrew Anderson, re
versed the lower court ruling and
prescribes serveral rules relative to
the rights of motorists on arterial
highways.
The case was woven around a
crash at Forty-second and Leaven
worth Btreets, in which the claimant
was alleged to have been permanent
ly injured when tossed from his
motorcycle by Anderson's machine.
The court held that the motorist
crossing an intersection, having stop
ped at the arterial highway and hav
ing looked both directions before en
tering that highway, had a right in
crossing to presume that motorists on
the through street shall exercise care,
"and if necessary to prevent a col
lision, slacken their speed."
The court also held that the as
sumption of the driver on an arterial
highway that another motorist on a
cross street will come to a stop be
fore entering the intersection, does
not permit the former to exceed the
speed limit or to disregard other traf
fic regulations.
No rules providing arterial high
ways, grant drivers on those high
ways, grant drivers on those high
ways any exclusive privileges, nor
require those crossing it to do so at
their peril regardless of the duty of
motorists on all highways to obey
traffic regulations and to exercise
due care, the court added. World

severe accident, when a tire of their
car blew out, and overturned the
car in which they were riding, pin

and do what they could they,, could
not relieve themselves. For over an

after which they were released by a
passing auto, and taken to Grand Is

ment. The wounds in the head and
scalp Uncle Charles Philpot, who is
eighty-four years of age, were so
severe that it required some twelve
stitches of the surgeon to close them.

was sent for them and they brought
home. They are both feeling much
better than it would have been
thought they would. They were in
deed fortunate in that they were not
more Beverelynjured.
