LEI IN IHE LIGHT
8TATE HOME THAT IS SHROUDED
WITH SECRECY.
1 POLICY NOT APPROVED
Women aria Children Being Supported
by State Because of Men's Dis
creditable Acts.
There Is ono state institution in
Nebraska that Is no boasted or. It Is"
the Industrial school for women at
Mllford. Secrecy shrouds tho insti
tution, yot tho taxpayers contribute
annually to its support, says tho Lin
corn Journal.
Soma of the members of the state
board of public lands and buildings
have commenced to wonder whetuer
or not it is right to continue this sys
torn of socrccy. Tho state Is now sup
porting women and children who, un
dor (mother law on tho statute books,
should bo supported by those directly
responsible. Nebraska boasts of hav
ing a less porcentago of llltteiacy
than any other Btato in the union,
but tne records of tho stato board of
health show that In six months ninety-two
out of 13,403 births were Il
legitimate "I am tempted not to npprove theso
applications," said Secretary of State
Walt, of tho board of public lands
and buildings, when ho was present
ed" with requests from nine girls, "un
less the state can take somo stops to
bring the responsible men to justice."
Attorney General Martin, also a
member of the stato board, is also of
the opinion that more attention
should be paid to the punishment of
responsible men In such cases. To
make tho s'ato Institution a cloak for
crime Is, Ir tho opinion of some, an
oncouragerrent of crlmo.
Tho policy of the stajte has for
many yeara been to lend every effort
to prefect tho good name of unfor
tunate girls. Girls who enter tle
home are assured that their names
will not be made public. The mem
bers of the board of public lands and
buildings approve applications only
after they have received tho approval
of a board of women appointed for
that purpose. The public does not
know who comprise tho board of wo
men who pass on applications, and af
ter an Inmate enters the homo the
record at the home either does not
ihow her real name or, if It does, the
record Is not accessible to any In
iiulrsr. Secrecy Is thp policy of the
state, and tho object to bo attained
Is tho protection of tho Inmates.
Miss Ward, the superintendent, will
do all 6ho can to Instltuto prosecution
of guilty parties, but she does not
ur.eo such a coujbo hb a general rule,
that being contrary to the policy of
tho state In conducting the home.
The girls who enter are usually
young; barelv eighteen, but occasion
ally the applications show that wo
men up to tho age of thirty-two are
admitted. Tho women must stay one
year, nnd during that time they are
taught to cook and keep house and to
bow and othor useful emnlovmrn s
Those who aro Ignorant of such work
benefit bv tho training and often go
out Into tho world and bocoinp good
members of society. Some former In
matps aro now filling respectable po
sitions and their present associates
know nothing of their hlstorv.
The children are kept bv the state,
if the mothers aro unable to caro for
them, and are placed In h"ifts for
adontlon and are glvon a ch-'ncf to
grow up and bo useful c'tlzns. For
adoption girls are generally preferred.
The Carlton Ttealty company of
Omaha has filed articles of Incorpo
ration with the secretary of state.
Book for Horsemen.
The state board of stallion registra
tion has Just received from tho prin
ter a very Interesting publication of
the work of the board to those inter
ested in that kind of work. It covers
three hundred and eighty-eight pageu
and pives tho name of every horse ex
amined nnd accepted, the name of
tho owner, registered number, dato
foaled, color and license number. Tho
list Is divided up according to the
various breeds and Is a valuable doc
ument for horse breeders and others
Interested in breeding.
Heavy Nebraska Land Holder.
Samuel W. Allerton, who at a Chi
cago banquet of meat packers pledg d
11,000 toward a fund to be used in
tending experts Into Indiana, Illino s,
lowa, Ohio and Nebraska to teach
farmors how to cultivate their soil to
better advantago and how to raise
cattle and live stock more profitably,
bas been a heavy land holder In this
Btato. A few years ago ho owned
many farms In the vicinity of Cedar
Rapids in this stato.
A Search for Fire Traps,
Tho city of Lincoln will bp descend
ed upon nnd searched from collar to
parrot for lire traps or anything that
looks suspicious of being a possible
causo of lire, If plans formulatod by
tho Nebraska stato flro prevention as
sociation at their quarterly meeting
In Omaha nre carried out. The asso
ciation derided to go as a con.mltteo
of tho whole, divided Intq about
twenty sub-commltteos of two men
each, bt-slgn cortaln territory to eich
?ub committee, and give the oapltal
lty a thorough flro inspection.
BETTER STATE FAIR.
Board of Managers Meet to Discus
Plans.
The state board of managers of the
stato fair took up various matters,
among them a proposition to build a
now cwlno Judging building and new
swlno pens. Several membors of the
swine breeders' association were pres
ent and urged the board to t.iko somo
notion In the matter, but announced
that they would not Insist too Hard,
as they desired some action taken
toward an appropriation. tor tho manu
facture of hog cholera serum. Tho
last legislature tnado un appropriation
of $15,000 for Us manufacture, but tho
association claims that moro monoy
is needed.
Another matter which came before
tho board was that of asking tho leg
islature for an appropriation for a
horticultural and agricultural hall
combined. They said that both of tho
old buildings would need extensive re
pairs beforo another fair and It would
bo good economy to put that money
Into a fund for new buildings. It was
thought by tho board that floois
should bo laid In the buildings recent
ly built and Secretary Mollor and Mr.
Rudgo wero appointed a committee to
asceitaln tho cost of flooring tho ma
chinery hall, grandstand, coliseum and
put new roofs on tho auditorium nnd
tho automobile hall.
School Officer Files Contest.
James McWhorter Is determined to
hold onto tho offlco of treasurer of
Echool district No. 30, Pierce county,
If he can legally do so. Ho has appeal
ed to tho supreme court f,rom a
Judgment of dismissal In IiIb contest
cabe In the district court. He was
elected treasurer In June, 1909, and
was a candidate for ro-olectlon Juno
24, 1912. His rival. Charles Schramm,
wa8 declared elected by a majority of
ten votes and has been recognized as
treasurer by the other officers of tho
district, Mr. McWhorter alleges that
the vote was taken by tho vo.ee and
not by ballot. He also contends that
tho moderator and dlroctor committed
fraud in miscounting tho vote.
Separation of Offices.
Tho separation of the auditor's of
fice and the insurance department of
tho stato may be undertaken through
a bill to be introduced at tho coming
session of the stato legislature. Tho
matter has been talked over at con
siderable length here of Into and in
surance men who have friendly can
didates running for tho state legisla
ture say they expect to see to It that
a measure is Introduced when the ses
sion gets under way.
TlKfrnovd lsBald to l.avo the sanc
tion of many of th loading Insur
ance men of the state, Including both
old-line nnd fraternal Insuranco
agents. The change Is said to be con
templated not so much for any advan
tage that may accruo, but so that a
moro efficient way of handling tho
business may result.
Insuranco Deputy Plerco of tho
state auditor's office believes that the
plan would be a good one, If careful
detal's as to the creation of tho of
flco aro worked out In tho bill pro
viding for the change.
Preparing the Electors.
Secretary of Stato Walt has pre
pared two drafts of tho manner in
which tho presidential electors should
appear upon tho ballot, neither of
which Is ghen authority by law.
When tho election law of Nebraska
was passed tho legislators did not
provide for any kind of a mlxup like
tho state has before it at tho present
time, and therefore tho secretary
holds thero Is no law which covers
the proposition as It now exists,
Escaped Convict Captured.
James Sparks, a negro convict, who
was sept up from Douglas county
eight years ago and who lator was
bent to the Hastings hospital for tho
insane, was captured In Lincoln after

ing rules and regulations and rates
