MEM IN WOMEN'S WOKK
The provost marshal general s
"work or fight regulations are of n
character to provide a pretty thoro
clean-up. Gamblers and many other
persons engaged in criminal, useless
or non-CBsential occupations may be
difficult to round up, but tin official
dragnet that hog been prepared
would seem to be both far-reaching
and Bleclent.
There is one blameless but useless
class that should not be allowed to
escape men who are doing the work
of ffonien at a time when women by
the thousands are being called on to
do the work of men. Such classes
are listed in the census of 1910. To
Bay nothing of the very great number
of male waiters, butlers, domestic
coachmen, bell boys, elevator tenders
and the considerable number of the
ater ushers, all of whose Jons could
be taken by women at a pinch, the
lat census lists SI male manicurists.
187 male chambermaids and 2.4.1K
male nursemaids, ladies' maids, etc.
Male chambermaids and male nurse
maids illicit prove a very poor Invest
ment on the firing line, but they could
perform tabors contributing more to
ward the great business of war-winning
than their present occupations.

BUY WAIt SAVINGS STAMPS
President Wilson, in his statement
calling upon every man. woman and
child to pledge themselvei on or be
fore June 28 to save constantly and
to buy regularly the securities of the
government, says, "May there be
none unenlisted on that day."
As -the president points out, "This
war is one of nations not of armies
and all of our lOO.OOOuo people
must be economically and Industrial
ly adjusted to war conditions if this
nation is to play its full part In the
conflict."
Our nation, not our army and navy
only, is at war. And that means that
all of us not actually fighting must
do our part.
That part consists in giving the
army and navy all the support of
which we are capable. To do that
each one of us must first of all be a
producer to our maximum ability and
a consumer of necessities only, for ev
ery bit of man power and every parti
cle of material is necessary for the
use of the army and navy and for the
making of the things essential to our
cltiiens.
As a maximum producer and as a
consumer of necessities only, each
one of us will be an accumulator of
savings. And these savings can be
Invested in war savings stamps with
benefit both to the government and
ourselves.

W. C. NEY, Secretary
iiHiiHimiuiiimmxtz
Mrs w. K. Harkley, president of
the Nebraska state suffrage associa
tion, has issued the following state
ment regarding the status of the suit
brought to knock out the petitions
tiled with the Secretary Of stale pie
venting the limited woman suffrage
law taking effect :
"After tin filing of oui original pe
tition ssklni for an Injunction
nerttnst Charles W. Pool, secretary of
tflte, and the (llinir of Atlorhey (len
eral Heed's demurrer, the 'antis' filed
a motion asking leave to intervene
as defendants In the case. The mo
tion was sustained.
"The) filed a second petition ask
ing that our petition bo made more
definite und asking that we be requir
ed to designate each signature we
wished to attack as fraudulent. We
IMinted out that this would be impos
sible to accomplish and that it would
give the opponents a chance to coerce
and intimidate the signers who ara to
testify for us. The court held with
us on this point and in substance sus
tained our theory that where the pe
tition circulator knew or should have
known that one or more signatures
on the petition was invalid, his certi
fication to the petition is invalid and
none of the names should be counted.
"Our next step was to file an
amended petition claiming fraudulent
certification of 1.233 petitions (con
taining 21,460 signatures) on the fol
lowing grounds:
"1. The circulator signed his name
to the certification knowing that aomo
of the signatures were forgeries.
"2. That some of the names were
not signed In his presence.
"3. That many of the addresses
were false or incorrect.
"4. That some of the signers were
not legal voters.
"5. That some who signed did so
under misrepresentation of the na
ture of the petition.
"The Intervening defendants came
back with a motion to strike from
our amended petition tne folowing
requests:
"That the signatures of unregister
ed voters in cities where registration
is required be cancelled.
"That all signatures where signers
filed withdrawal statements with the
secretary of state be cancelled.
"Judge Flansburg held against us
on both of these points, deciding that
a signer or a referendum petition
need not be a registered voter and
that a signer cannot withdraw his
name after the petition has been filed
with the secretary of state. We can
defeat the intention of this decision
by showing that most of the unregis
tered signers were not residents of
county or state, and although a sign
er cannot actually withdraw his nurci
from a petition, his deposition stat
ing that the signature was obtained
by fraud cancels the name Just as effectively.
"The secretary of state, as princi
pal defendant and the Intervening de
fendants from Omaha next filed an
swers which denied entirely our al
legations of fraud and forgery.
"Last week the court appointed Cal
Emery, a court reporter, as special
examiner, to take the necessary depo
sitions in the case. Te began that
work in Omaha June 3. The court or
dered to secretary of state to turn
over to Mr. Emery the part of the
referendum petition coming from
Omaha. As soon as the work is com
pleted in Omaha the examiner and an
attorney from each side will go to
the other parts of the state wl.er
fraud and forgery are most clearly
shown. Every siirner will be Riven
a chance to look at the signature sup
posed to be his. The actual trial of
the case will probably occur during
the tir.st Week of July.
"This case, inaugurated to sav- 'he
I privilege of limited suffrage for 'vo-
in n and to prevent a fraudulent ise
of the initiative und referendum, of
fers an unusual opportunity for the
patriotic men and women of N'etvas-
sa to neip. witn one stroke, to -vin
tWO worthwhile decisions.
"A thoro, fair and successful 'rial
of this case will depend upon our b"
ing able to command money end igh
to push its conduct. If your county
has not paid its full apportionni nt,
you are blocking the success of the
case and aiding our opponents to de
lay our ultimate victory. Send your
funds along immediately aud partici
pate in the Joy of winning the fight."
