F Nebryska SENATORS BEAT MOVE TO COMMEND DEFENSE COUNCIL Vote ' Down Resolution Asking That Teaching and Preaching ft Foreign Tongues Be Stopped. WaKoO, N'eb., April 4. (Special.) To the Editor of The Bee: 1 see that the Nonpartisan league .claims it is going'to fight the political ,boss. and 1 want to discuss Townley and his as sociates in the line of political boss ism, which he pretends to condemn so mucb. . The candidates for the .legislature in North Dakota, in order .to secure the endorsement of the league,. were obliged , to sign a pledge which con tained the following:- "That I will allow my name to be placed on the ticket to be voted on at the June primaries and if nominated will continue to act as the farmers'' nonpartisan political candidate until after the' polls close on November . And if elected will at all times work and vote for. those measures and amendments that will assist in getting justice for the farm ers of this state as from time to time .ihatl be. outlined by the league." How Does It Look to You? How1 would you like to have your members of the legislature tied hand and fop( to the leaders of the Non pa rtisa.il league? You will have nothing ;,to say about the policies of these legislators. As a matter of fact, have you ever lookedjtito it, to see if you will ever have anything to jay about the man agement or the general policies of the league? Is there anything which binds the leaders of the league "to follow the wishes'bf the members,' and have you ever sen the bylaws or? the rules, under which the business of the league is conducted? You may: have been told a if rat many things by the or ganizers' in order to get you to pay $16, but -what have you in writing? At the last sess'on of the North Da kota legislature, Townley and his as sociates . took np chances with the members who were pledged to follow their dictation, and we are informed that Mr.: Evans, who is now the state organiser of Nebraska, was one of the ex-socialists who helped handle that legislature. Governed by Color of Hair. Theyiequired all of their men to stay at one hotel. A caucus was held in the liptel nearly every evening by the Nonpartisan league members, and the , mcrhbers were instructed by Townleyl LeSeur and others how they should vote on the bills which would come tip' next day. Townley and his associates did not trust to the mem ory of the members of the legislature to see that they -voted right, and they. provided two clerks to rea tne oius when they came up for consideration in the n,0'e. One of these clerks was red-headed and one had black hair. ,If the clerk with the black haif read fclie bilt'then Townley's force voted for it. If the clerk with red hair read the bill. 'JJownley'a Nonpartisan league member voted against it. God forbid that the; farmers of Nebraska who have helped to place the state in the front rank so far as progressive leg islation is concerned should ever have to resort to the leadership of men who will adopt such tactics. 7'' CHARLES H.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincon, April 4. (Special.) It was by the same magic 18 to 13 vote in the senate this afternoon, though somewhat differently constituted, that a resolution by Spirk of Saline, com mending the State Council of De fense for abolishing the teaching of foreign languages in the public schools of the state and asking that all' teaching and preaching in foreign languages in both public and de nominatoinal schools be prohibited, was laid on the table. The fight over the resolution was at times intense. Sandallof York surprised those present by coming out in an impashioned speech against the resolution, contending that the teaching of foreign languages was de sired at times, and saying that some of the best farming communities in the state were those populated by German people. He said that if the- senator from Saline had followed him in a more vital matter than this he might now be able to follow him. Moriarity, Albert and Sandall were the principal speakers against the resolution, while Spirk, Chappell, McMullen and Neal spoke for the resolution. The vote to lay the resolution on the table resulted as follows on roll call: Ayes Adams, Albert, Beal, Ben nett, Burman, Doty, Gates, Kohl, Lahners, Mattes, Moriarity, Oberlies, Robertson, Sandall, Sawyer, Soost, Strehlow, ilson of Dodge 18.

Edison was described m a preceding article, in which we told how the discovery of tungsten as a filament, or wire inside the bulb, was the first 'step toward the famous Maada lamp of today. Comparatively little was known; about tungsten in 1907, however, when the first filament of that metal appeared, and this wire had to be made of a sort of paste, as described. It was a tedious and unsatisfactory process. ( Mazda lamps received their name in 1910, when arrange ments were made with the technical .' staffs of various lamp laboratories over the world to obtain and consolidate the latest developments thereof. The trade-mark or copyrighted title Mazda was applied to all improved lamps that did or might re sult from this combination of inventive brains. Thus the Mazda lamp immediately became the standard. The first fruit of this combination of genius was harvested in 1911, when the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company discovered a process for the .treating of tungsten so that it might be drawn into a wire. .Thus the first drawn tung sten wire filament made its appearance in Mazda lamps in this year. : Numerous other improvements were pooled in this lamp in succeeding years, mostly for the purpose of making the product more staple husky enough to stand hard knocks and to in sure a brighter and clearer light. All' of these improvements, so briefly sketched, are combined in the Mazda of todays This lamp gives from ten to fifteen times more light, ac cording to its size, than Edison's first incandescent electric lamp produced in Menlo ark, N. J., on October 21, 1879 for the same amount of electricity consumed. ;?
