Governor Works to Keep Language Measure Dormant Seeks to Head Off Injection of Reed-Norval Bill Into Present Session of Legislature. Lincoln, Jan. 7.—(Special.)—Gov ernor C. W. Bryan and his lieutenants are canvassing the members of the legislature, seeking to determine if any of them plans to introduce a bill to repeal the Keed Xorval language law, and if so, to discourage the at tempt. It is said that the governor and his supporters are willing to offer al most any inducement to keep the bill from being injected Into this session of the legislature.

Before Supreme Court. It is further contended by the gov ernor’s supporters that the Reed-Nor val law is not an issue in the present session for the reason that its le gality is being tested before the state supreme court and that legislative ac tion should be deferred pending the decision of the court. A bill dealing with the present code law, and In a measure supplanting it, is being framed by democrtic mem bers of the state senate for Introduc tion at an early day. It is said to fol low the lines mentioned In the demo cratic state platform, and adheres to soma of the recommendations made by Governor Bryan in his Inaugu ration address, but departs from hts suggestions on appointive power. The bill in preparation makes the gov ernor a member of a board of five stata officers, who will comprise an executive council, each member of which la equally responsible for the making of appointments and enforce ment of laws. The power and respon sibility now in the hnads of the gov ernor will thus be distributed among other state officials. • Plan Income Tax Bill.

Day of Spiritual Values at Hand, Pastor Predicts That the day of fresher and deeper appreciation of finer and spiritual values Is at hand, was the prediction of Rev. Ralph E. Bailey at the First Unitarian church Sunday morning. "The dally press chronicles ma terialism in crime; subtler forms Just as black go unexposed; the country smells to heaven w-ith Volstead vio lations; ears are deaf to the Mace donian cry, hearts barren, hands im potent. honesty pushed aside or walked over, Justice violated for profit balance, and yet light is let in by values money cannot buy—values of the mind and heart. "The spiritual type takes character for his goal—the enlarging of life— and is the genuine seeker of hooks, art. music and such symbols of eter nal beauty, while he practices benev olence and practical giving.” The diacovery of a commercial pro cess for fusing and casting tungsten has been claimed by an European en gineer.

Power firm officials say the throw ing of the switches was done deliber ately.

Judge Takes Rap at 'Tree Love” Say6 It Causes 75 Per Cent of Divorces—To Demand Warrant Hereafter. Chicago, Jan. 7.—Free love, which j he says is responsible for 75 per cent i of divorces in Cook county, received j a smashing blow when Judge Timothy D. Hurly asserted that he will refuse a hearing on all “triangle" divorce cases unless the complainant first obtains a warrant for arrest of the erring mate and the corespondent on statutory grounds. The threat w’hich included the 1 promise that'Judge Hurley would act : as examining magistrate in each case and hold the guilty to the grand jury if the evidence warranted, followed his denial of a decree to Mrs. Tetta Kwinn. Mrs. Kwinn had testified that Morris Kwinn, restaurateur, has es tablished himself with Miss Pearl Mayo in a "love nest." "Free love never will gain my sanc tion as long as I sit as chancellor of this court," said Judge Hurley. "Easy divorce regulations and meek submis sion of aggrieved mates has sanc tioned illicit love, it seems, when one recalls that nearly 12,000 divorces were granted last year, in nearly 75 per cent of which ‘other persons’ ap peared as the disturbing factor.” Woman Who Lived Here 30 Years, Dies at Home Mrs. Antonia Briem, 2448 South j Seventeenth street, for more than 30 j years a resident of Omaha, died Sat urday night at her home following a 1 two weeks' illness.

Pied Piper at Alliance Scavenger to Be Cited for Driving Rats From Dump—Cats Are Happy. I . I . Alliance, Neb., Jan. 7.—(Special.)— Sam Sheldon, city scavenger, is due to be caJled before the city council to be cited for distinguished service honors Sam has solved one of the problems that has been worrying the city for some years. Until recently there were thousands of rals running amuck at the city dump ground, just outside the cor porate limits. They became such a pest that farmers of the city protested to the city council, stating that the rodents were invading their farms, their homes and stores of grain and occasionally taking a nice, Juicy chicken. Then Sam got busy, herded together all the stray cats and kittens in town, hauled them to the'eily dttjhp ground I and turned them loose. Nearly 100 fe ! lines, from thin, scrawny individuals to lazy old rotund “tom*** made up Sam’s cat army. Everything went well until the farmers began to complain of weird screechy noises at night IssiUng from the dump ground. They said it sound ed like murder and demanded an in vestigation. Then Sam disclosed what he had done and explained that the weird shrieks were the sound of rats being devoured by cats. Sam was right. So thoroughly had the felines carried out their massacre that a search of the dump ground failed to reveal a single rat. Now, the farmers are contented, likewise the cats, who are all sleek and fat, after the manner of well-fed felines. W. J.

He spoke here of the power that comes of co-operation in the post office "which sends out in the country 10 miles, picks up a^post card, takes it to town, sends lracross the con tinent and takes it out in the country 10 miles further and delivers it, all for 1 cent. “And,” he added, “if the govern ment can do that every day in the year, I believe it can send out once or twice a year and pick up the bal lot and bring it in and count it so we can get a full vote and not tax the mart who lives far from the pol ling place or the woman who is too busy to go to vote. "With cooperation comas respon sibility and with responsibility comes duty. Duty is a bigger thing than rights and I hope the tipie will come when this country will be as anxious to see that weaker peoples get their rights as that we get our own.” He spoke then of the danger In co operation, the danger that it will strangle initiative. It reminded him of Emerson's essay on compensation and of a story. Calls on Taft. “Twelve years ago,’’ he recalled, j “I returned from a trip to South America. In Washington I called on | President Taft and he received me, as ! he always did, very hospitably. “ 'You’ve been to South America,1 he said. ‘I always have wanted to take a trip there but I’ve never had time.1 11 ‘Have you read Emerson's essay on compensation?’ I asked him. He said he had and was much im pressed by It. “ 'Well,1 I said, "here is an illus tration of its theory. You were elected president, and I—I had time to take a trip to South America.’ ” He urged the club with its com bined power to be sure to do the good thing. “Do the nearest good thing that you can do,’’ he said. “That is what helps civilization to advance. Civili zation goes forward, because man is not an animal and knows he is not. "Dare to Do Right.” "People set mad at me because I try to take tho monkey's crest off of their family shield. Man is not descended from an animal. He is made in tho image of God and he is will ing to die for truth and has been willing in all ages. "Dare to do right, even though you stand alone. In God’s own good time it will bring its great reward. For wo owe to God even more than we owe to our fellowmen, the duty to do the right when we see it, to proclaim the truth even before the sun of truth has risen over the heads of the mul titude.” The meeting was scheduled to close promptly at 8, but cries of "Go on, go on," and tremendous applause greeted the orator's warning of the close. This did not delay him, however. "I will come back,” be said. “I feel toward Nebraska very deeply though I no longer vote here. This is tho state that took me up and gavo me my chance to participate in great national problems and I am young enough to hope to make many trips to this state before my pilgrimage on earth is done.” Special programs were distributed, bearing a picture of the commoner, and a Bong, which was sung in his order.
