CONGRESSMEN
FROM NEBRASKA
VOTE FOR SUFFS
Reavis Makes Speech in Favor;
Victor Rosewater, Who At
tended First Suffrage Hear
ing, Watchss Final Vote.
Washington Bureau Omaha Bee.
1811 1. Street.
Washington, Jan. 11. (Special Tel
egram.) The entire Nebraska delega
tion in the house,' when the final vote
was taken yesterday on the suffrage
amendment to the constitution, voted
in its favor.
From early morning until the speak
er announced the result of the vote
on the constitutional amendment, the
galleries, crowded as they were in
most part by women, followed the de
bate and parliamentary proceedings
on the several amendments, with
keenest interest.
Little time was given over to ap
plause as the champions, for and
against the measure, voiced their
views. It was a highly intellectual
assembly, the proponents of suffrage
being vastly in the majority.
Suffrage a Duty.
Representative Reavis, who had
ben promised 15 minutes in which
to present his views in favor of the
amendment, was cut down to four
minutes, but even in that limited time
was able to present a new phase to
the question. Among other things.
Mr. Reavis said:
"In my judgment suffrage ia neither
a right or a privilege, but is rather a
duty and obligation.
"It is more a question of expediency
than it is-a question of right and it is
a question to be solved from the view
point of the government and not from
the viewpoint or desire of the individ
ual. "We say to the boys, less than 21
years of age, that you cannot vote, btirf
by so saying we are depriving theit
I of no natural right, but are deciding
f tnat it is inexpedient to permit an im
mature mind to help shape the affairs
of state. "
"Idicts and insane people are de
prived of the voting privilege because
it is unwise from the standpoint of the
government to permit them to vote.
"I have long believed that women
have reached that high mental state
where they could contribute largely to
the welfare of our nation by being per
mitted to vote, and I shall support this
resolution to grant them the oppor
tunity of making their contribution."
At First Hearing.
Victor Rosewater of The Bee, who
occupied a seat in the press gallery
during the debate, recalled that he
was in Washington.when. the question
of women suffrage first came into
prominence and was present at the
earliest hearings at the hands of a
committee of congress on the subject
and he thought it a remarkable coin
cidence to be present when' the final
vote on constitutional amendment
was taken.

"Incomparable Victory" Say
National Leaders of Stiffs
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, D. C, Jan. 10. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of
the National American Woman Suffrage association, said tonight:
"It is an incomparable victory, which tremendously gratifies, though
it does not surprise us. We have felt all along that the house could be
relied upon to vindicate itself as the forward-looking exponent of demo
cratic progress which America, has the right to expect its great law
making body to be. - !
"Not for a minute did we concede that the American congress would
lag behind the parliaments of Europe in the making of democratic his
tory." i. Miss Alice Paul, the leader of the woman's party, made this state
ment: ,
"We rejoice and for the moment that is all we do. With tomorrow
we will begin to press for the immediate passage of the amendment
through the senate."
Mrs. James W. Wadsworth, jr., president of the National Association
Opposed .to Woman Suffrage, issued this statement:
"We thank the men who stood by the principle of local self-government
against the policy of surrender to suffrage threats, and we are
proud that there are still some American men who vote according to
their convictions and not according to command."

London, Jan. 11. Preaching in the

his recent sermon in which he dealt
with the question of drinking among
American soldiers and sailors.
He said he wanted the British to

if the government has a right to con

his conduct and keep him fit to to do
that work.

"When the fact was published that

there has been a great improvement

Featherstone Declares His Of

Down Flatly.
Washington, Jan. 11. Charges that
"steel trust" officials blocked a plan
by which the government was to get
steel for ship plates at one-third less
than it is paying were made before
the senate committee investigating
ship building today by L. P. Feather
stone, president of the Texas Steel
company of Beaumont, Tex.
Featherstone proposed to sell to
the government lands in Texas and
coal properties in Alabama, and erect
a steel plant at Beaumont to make
steel ship plates at about $45 a ton.
as against $65, other steel companies
are charging the government. His
plan, he said, was referred by the
shipping board to the Council of Na
tional Defense, thence to a sub-committee
on which were Charles Schwab
and other officials of large steel com
panies. !
"They turned me down on the ex
cuse that the government was not
prepared to go into business for it
self," said I-eatherstone. "I "might
not have expected anything definite
from the crowd of dollar-a-year men
who were beneficiaries of high
prices."

an alleged deserter from the British
army, was taken into custody by Im

held for investigation.
Healey, who has been in the employ
of Mr. Dixon some time, came to Pas
