The court held that promising a

tnrougn otners, lor active personal
work just preceding an election prac
tically is "bribery."
According to the testimony on
which the opinion was based, Gibson
promised directly and through friends
the appointments of police judge, chief
of police and other offices if he should
be elected. The prospective appoint
ees got out and solicited votes among
their friends for Gibson, the opinion

FIGHT ON ROYSE '
COMIHGJO HEAD
Several Candidates for Place
He Has Held for Fifteen
Years.
DEMOS ASE VEEY HUNGHY
IKrom a Start CorveMDonilent.)
Lincoln, Dec. 10. (Special.) One
of the important positions which the
new governor. Keith Neville, will have
to fill is that of secretary of the State
Banking board, a place held by E.
Royse for several years, under both
republican and democratic governors.
This year there is to be some oppo
sition to Mr. Royse, the fact that the
democrats have captured everything
in an elective way seeming to increase
their political appetites rather than
appease the craving, and it is possible
that notwithstanding Mr. Royse has
generally been considered a very effi
cient official, his head may have to
tall into the political basket to satisfy
democratic official hunger.
state treasurer Hall has taken a
stand in favor of a change, which
may make trouble for Mr. Koyse. Mr.
Hall is not a member ot the state
Banking board, as the members of
that board consist of the governor.
attorney general and autjitor. but he
is in a position, being a banker as
well as state treasurer, to have some
influence in the matter.
Those After Place.
Aspirants for the position from the
democratic side of the political fence
are C. E. Reynolds of Rising City.
John Tully of Crete, and it is also
understood that Jens Nielsen, representative-elect
from Douglas county,
is a candidate. In fact, Mr. Nielsen
intimated that he would accept the
position when in Lincoln two weeks
ago.
several attempts have been made in
the past to get the scalp of Secretary
Koyse. but none ot them, nas been
successful. Mr. Royse first, took on
the duties of secretary of the State
banking board when appointed in
1901, and the most successful attempt
was made in 1909, when Governor
Shallenberger appointed Sam Patter
son. However, the injunction suit
which held up the state guaranty law
for two years prevented Patterson
from taking the office and when the
suit was finally settled a republican
governor was in the executive offices
and Mr. Royse was reappointed.
Governor Morehead made no
change when he was fleeted and re
fused to appoint a new man when
elected the second time, so that Mr.
Royse has been in office for about tit-
teen years. He has made a popular
official during all that time, but in the
raid on the republican trenches his
hetd may have to fall.

date for that office up to then, namely,
4,484. He was elected to succeed him
self in the fall of 1893, receiving a
plurality of 2,109 votes over three
other candidates. He was a reform
mayor and his administrations were
marked by cleanness and efficiency.
While mayor, Mr. Bemis gained
great distinction by the manner in
which he welcomed distinguished
guests and great national gatherings,
such as the national convention of the
people's party and the grand lodge of
the Odd Fellows and the Illustrious
Nobles of the Imperial Council of the
Mystic Shrine. Of his message as re
tiring mayor, The Bee said:
"It is a clear-cut and business-like
municipal government. It affords a
comprehensive review to the city of
the various franchised corporations
and embodies recommendations for
the promotion and protection of , the
citv's interests in. dealing with them
in the future. It points out the im
perative necessity ot radical retrench
ment in every branch of the municipal
government and suggests appropriate
remedjes for existing abuses. It will
be many a year before Omaha secures
another mayor who will be as devoted
to its welfare and as courageous in
the discharge of his duty as George
F. Bemts.
Extensive Traveler.
Mr. Bemis was an extensive trav
eler. He accompanied Mr. Train on
his second tour around the world,
visiting Japan, China and India and
returning by way of the Red Sea and
Suez canal to Marseilles, where Mr.
Train organized 80,000 of the Com
mune, the International and the Ligue
du Midi, while Paris was being be
sieged by the Prussians and tor a
short time held possession of the crty
by a coup d'etat':
Besides his wife Harriet L., Mr.
Bemis is survived by a. brother,
Emery of Boston, Mass.
The funeral will be from the Flor
ence home Wednesday morning at 9
o'clock, Father M. J. Barratt of St.
Phillip Neri's church officiating. The
body will be placed in a vault in the
Forest Lawn cemetery and latter sent
to Waltham, Mass., for burial.
Belgium's Struggle
For Liberty Villa's!
Inspiration, He Says
El Paso, Tex., Dec. 10. Belgium's
heroic example in maintaining an un
equal struggle in behalf of what it
believed its right, is Francisco Vil
la's inspiration in his own struggle,
according to copies of his recent pro
clamation, brought to the border to
night by refugees. This manifesto,
which was printed at San Andreas,
Chihuahua, ends with the" slogan.
"Mexico for the Mexicans," in heavy
type, and bears the name of Villa
as "General in chief."
"Our fatherland also has arrived
at the solemn moment when we must
oppose the Unjustified invasion by' our
eternal enemies, th barbarians of the
north. '
He declared his only object was
to overthrow treachery and place in
ine presidency any capaoie painoi.
militarism in Germany is erroneous.
It is a fact that the longer the war
continues the stronger the militarists
of Germany will become. When the
British and French people realize the
exact condition of the German peq
ple then will peace be near.",
Miss Doty told of attending may
meetings in Germany, where peace
prospects were freely discussed by
civilians and soldiers. Her investiga
tion of conditions in England and
France, she asserted, disclosed that
public peace discussions were not
permitted.
Resolutions adopted provided that
the chiehfforts of the party should
be directed against any form of uni
versal compulsory military service,
condemned military training in the
schools, favored repeal of the draft
provision in the army reorganization
bill, urged the appointment of com
missions representing the United
State and Japan and China amicably
to settle disputes, and endorse the
proposed federal amendment for
woman suffrage.

Fear of Scoffers Keeps Many
From Attending Church,
Says Rev. Burrows.
LEARN BY
SUFFERING
"The reason that 10,000 of the 13,000
'Billy' Sunday converts in Omaha are
backsliders is that they are not will
ing to go the whole distance and ac
cept Christ's cross and endure the suf
ferings and privations that are con
nected with walking in the narrow
way," said Rev. H. C. Burrows, pas
tor of the Oak Street Methodist
church, in. his sermon yesterday
morning.
"The winning of the 3.000 who have
I held to their pledges takenwhen they
hit the sawdust trail is a bountiful re
turn for the time spent here by Mr.
Sunday. W are filled with thanks
giving today that several 'Billy Sun.
day converts are active workers in
our own church. And in nearly every
other church in (he city you will find
them in various numbers.
Rev. Mr. Burrows took as his text,
"Though He was a son, yet learned
He obedience by the things that He
suffered,
"We don't appreciate enough today
just how much Christ suffered during
his sojourn on earth," he said. "There
were eighteen years, from the time
He was I. till He was M years old,
during which He was struggling in a
human way supporting His widowed
mother. We don't know much of those
years. Of what He endured during
the three years after He was 30 years
old we know and we know no other
ever suffered like He did.
"He felt all that any man could feel
and much more,' because He suffered
without any guilt of His own. Yet
never a complaint passed His lips.
. Afraid of the Scoffs.
"Today many Christians won't even
put themselves out enough for the
sake of Christ to attend the services
held in their church for worshipping
Him. They are afraid of the scoffs
of the world. They 'are at ease in
Zion.' The church gets no more of
ibtir time or effort or money than
they can help.
- "Christians who dotread the path
of suffering with their Master find joy
and peace that are their full reward,
joy and peace that pass the under
standing of worldlings. This is but
one of the, rewards for the suffering
they are willing to undergo for His
sake.
"We are soon to celebrate the com
ing of Christ to save the sin-cursed
world. Let us approach that season
with the true, pure joy of worship, the
joy of sinners welcoming the One
who has come with the depth of love
to rescue them from eternal death.
There is , a tendency to make
Christmas a secular' affair, a time
merely of the giving and receiving
of gifts and the eating of big dinners.
We need to emphasize more the di
vine side of Christmas, which .J the
oalv foundation of it Gifts and feast
ing are all right, but let them come
after a full contemplation ot the glori
ous mission of the Christ."'
