Urge Special Training. ,
Prof. Fasctt "advocated special
. training and preparation for men
holding municipal office. At the
University of Kausa there is a spe
cial coure m municipal government,
and Western Reserve, Cleveland, is
planning a department of municipal
government which will teach the
theory while the student will be al
lowed to work part time in the
.municipal offices of Cleveland to
gather practical experience.
"There never will be an ideal city
until we have ideal citizens." Prof,
l'assctt said. "The great hindrance
to good government is indolence,
disinterest in municipal affairs and
failure to. vote. No citizen can ex
pect to enjoy the privileges of a
democratic government until he is
willing to shoulder some of the re
sponsibilities of a true citizen,"
Improved Standards.
Prof. Fassett declared the fcvolu
tion of municipal government has
brought the method in effect in
America to a higher standard than
ever was attained before. He. cle
clared. city managership to be the
latest word in municipal efficiency,
especially in smaller cities.

a short . address on municipally
ownad utilities in Omaha and showed
motion pictures of them in opera
tion. Following this lecture the

Dry Laws Enforced,
Says W.C.T.U. Officer
" . .
Fremont, Ncb Jan. ' 25. (Spe
cial.) The 18th "amendment "is be
ing enforced, "according to Mrs.
Clayton, Lincoln, vice president at
large of the Nebraska W. C. T. U.,
in an address before the regional
conference, held at Fremont.
It cannof be expected, she point
ed out, that a habit of 10,000 .years'
standing can be wiped out in an
instant by the mere passing of a
lav. Mrs. Clayton appealed to the
'women to become acquainted with
the work that is being done and to
express their appreciation of offi
cers who enforce, the law and of
papers that " publish conditions as
they are. She urged that all women
exercise their right to vote and do
all in their power to promote civic
righteousness. ' " ;
Miss Amy Spaulding, Upton, Ind.,
addressed the conference on the im
migration question. The apparent in
difference of Americans t6 foreign
ers, -she said, makes the work of
missionaries harder, for the ihimi-
grants cannot believe that the Amer
icans really care. . . . .- .

The petition alleges that city of

drinking liquors.
I think Mr. Thomas is seeking

missioner Dunn. "The case will be
thrown out of court as far as the city

the city could be held financially lia
