V .coin Journal, 7th: Lincoln now has three policewomen, but Mrs. Dora Doyle, for many years police matron, will soon take an extended vncntion. therefore the work will be in charge of Mrs. R. M. Walsh and Mrs. W. S. Jay, new appointees. Mayor Miller says that tho duties of a policewom an nre the same as a policeman, one is given the authority to make arrests of both men and women and she has a right to call on any person for as sistance if sho needs it. The work of policewomen, however, will be among women and girls. The new officers are expected to look after nil the girls and women brought to the po lice station, to chapcrono all public dances, enforce the curfew ordinance nnd look nfter women of questiona ble character found on the streets. Lincoln policewomen will not wear uniforms. They are not expected to carry firearms nor arc they required to enrry clubs. The mnyor is not an enthusiastic advocate of weapon- toting. In most instances, as he sees it, carrying weapons by officers is a broad invitation for the other fellow to shoot, if he is urmed. Sioux City Journal, 5th: Reduc tion of combination bridge tolls was discussed nt a meeting of the Real Estate association at tho Commercial club yesterday. A -committee of three will be appointed, according to James F. Toy, president, to co-operate with other civic bodies in an ef fort to obtain a reduction. Excessive profit is shown in the report of the goyomment auditor, it was stated by Ward R. Evans, attorney for inter ests seeking the reduction. C. D. Smiey and G. L. Gasser presented the views of South Sioux City in the matter. The financing of the bridge was frenzied, according to Mr. Smi ley, who declared that a reduction of toll should be effected. W. S. Gil man gave u history of the bridge and presented the Sioux City side of the matter. The evidence is all in and the matter has been referred to the governmept engineer at Kansas City and through him to Secretary of War Baker. The bridire reaped a net profit of $7G,000 in eighteen months, according to Mr. Gilman, while 30,000 a year is said to be reasona ble. The bridge was built nt a cost of $288,000, and the present tax was voted in 1894. Toll for a wagon is now 25 cents, for an automobile 20 cents, and for each passenger 5 cts. One cent a passenger is said by Mr. Gilman to be sufficient. Pender Republic: W. W.

Dixon and Cedar counties, jointly, by, Rose Mace, administratrix, JohnBri-i enzo and Mrs. Henry Brienzo, admin istratrix, on behalf of herself and children, alleging damages for fail ure of these counties to properly maintain the public road along the bank of tho Missouri river, were up for hearing Wednesday in district court before Judge Guy T.

Tho action was brought by reason of an accident which occurred tho latter part of April when an auto driven by John Brienzo ran over tho bank of the river, resulting in tho death of Henry Brienzo and Mabel Bevier, daughter of Mrs. Mace. Arguments were presented, at tho conclusion of which the court took under advise ment his ruling and judgment to bo given at a later date. Dixon county was represented by C. A.

Time of Day Not to be Given by Telephone Operators. In lino with tho policy of the gov ernment to conserve labor and' ma terials for war needs, tho former proctice of tho telephone company of giving tho time of day was discon tinued September 1st. When a elephone subscriber asks: "What is tho time, please?" it takes as much time on the part of tho op erator and an equal uso of telephone equipment as would bo required to complete an ordinary telephone call. In Dakota City numerous requests for the time are made daily over the telephone, so when this practice is discontinued many more important teiepnono cans can iio handled with tho samo operating force and same equipment. The telephone operators have also ebcen instructed to courteously de cline to give information regarding other maters not directly relating to the furnishing of telephone service. One quite common practice which has been eliminated is tho calling of people in tho morning. Requests for una service novo oeen made in larger numbers than most people realize, particularly by peoplo without alarm clocks, or those who desired to be sure of being awakened in tho morn ing. With the growing requirements of tho govornment for telephone equip ment for the fighting .forces abroad and service for training camps, sup ply dopots and other parts of the "vuni- innnlilnn1' 1 Ut - 4. X-l ' phono facilities are taxed to their utmost. The telephone people say that to eliminate calls not relating to tho giving of telephone service will permit the release of operators unu uquipmoni ior moro important messages iind result in tho company , being better able to take caro of tho service with tho present telephone forces and facilities. l'OUNI) A boy's coat wa3 found on the Old Settlers' picnic ground.

' If such n system were permitted to conquer In Oils struggle, it would wrest from the free peoplo of the world not alone their freedom und 'their Ideals of democratic Justice, which, through generations of priva tion, perseverence and Indomitable will, they havo wrung from tho past, but It would crush all, tho achieve ments of peaceful Industry, of educa tion, and especially of spiritual aspira tion, which are tho hard-earned fruits of these generations of world service. Must Save Our Children. Wo nlust save our children from the 'debasing spirit of militarism, if Amer lean men and women are ever again to hope for the things they have cher ished, and from which their ancestors sought to escape when they defied tho tyranny of the domination of might and gavo to the world tho democratic Ideals of Justice and equality in the immortal Declaration of Independence to which our flag and our country are dedicated. It Is not enough that Germany shall bo defeated In bnttlo or conquered by hunger; sho must bo shown tho truth, that tho world will no longer permit uny peoplo to hold over-rated power which threatens its peace or paralyzes the processes of civilization. "Wo Are Awake Now." Whntover may havo been our error In the pnst, however blind we may havo been, wo aro awako now. Whatever mistakes wo have made in tho past, however wo may hnv underestimated Germany's desire tc crush the democratic Ideals of the world, now that that purposo Is known, It must bo overcome If womanhood and childhood are to bo saved anywhere. Thero can bo reparation for these deeds nowhere, either In this world or In tho world to come. Tho only hopo lies In such a conquest over tho spirit of Germany that it may learn tho truth; that It may understand that today, as In thno past, tho only foun dation, security and stability for any peoplo, Germany Included, Is In right 'eousness; that above tho roar of bat 'tic, tho shrieking of sholls, tho groans 'of tho dying and tho cries of llttlo children, tho prophets,of old aro call ilng In tones that Uio wholo world nnd Gormany must heed, "What does it Woflt a man?

"Make tho United States a Ono Lnu gunge Nation" Is tho watchword adopt ed by the National Security League fot one of the great divisions of Its work, directed by a Committee on Foreign I-nngungo and Foreign Press.
