Later his superior merits became recognized and he accepted the superlntendency of village school, going from that position to county superintendent, an office he filled with signal success. He left thU work to take the superlntend ency of the Platsmonth schools which position he now holds. In addition to this extensive experience he has had much In tho superintendent's office, so that this last appointment tops a career of unbroken success. Tho many friends of Prof. Gamble are today congratulating him upon the appointment and there Is small doubt but thnt ho will accept the honor tendered him. Tho work In no way Interferes with his duties In the local schools and is far and away one of the best positions he could have been offered. His removal from tho local schoola would have biM-n great ly regretted. " "su ffer age ! A Slinging Reply to the Editor of the Ncws-Hera!d The Journal is in receipt of a coxuiunicalion from one of its many readers which it prints below. It must not be tin lerstood as endui-slug cr 'opposing . any of the sentiments cf the writer, nor as committing it self to the advocacy or opposition of the cause advanced by the writer. It s a weir written article and I de serving of careful study by all.' Editor News-Herald. , , . Dear Sir: V n view pf; the 'fact that your .ar ticle against "Woman Suffrage; was especially scathing and . fossilized, "the lips of ever respecting woman" should be . opened In protest. , In quoting Lincoln why did you forget to mention that he was in avor of woman suffrango? So were. Ralph Waldo. ' Emerson Henry W. Longfellow John G. Whitier, , Wil liam H.' Seward, Chief Justice Chase. Charles Klngsley, Herbert Spencer, Dr,' Tnlmage, Bishop1 Potter,' Bishop Spauldlng of 'the Catholic church, and many of the great 'editors and literary men who- have worked 'for this cause. Among "women, we t-an cite the names of Florence Nightin gale, Harriet iBeecher Stowe, Louisa M. Alcott, Elizabeth Barrett Brown ing. These women were "self- Respecting" and were respected ly the whole world. Susan B. Anthony who bore the gibs and ridicule and social frowns for ' long years, : died honored and mourned by all nations. William McKlnley, in the beautiful words you quote, vleled no Insult to the women who wished for the bal lot as a protection for their homes. If the suffragist is an "agitator," the agitating Is always on the side of morality and better conditions and It Is bare possible that In every city some politicians would rather see the dregs not stirred up.' "She never did anything." In Colorado the following laws were Indorsed and passed by the efforts of the women: Women are co-equal guardians ,of their children. - The age of consent was raised to eighteen. ' A state home for dependent child- dreu established, alno a state Indus trial school for girls, and the Hu mane Society was made a state Insti tution, i , , i A dozen other beneficial laws have been endorsed and carried by the women, and of the best was the elec tion of Judge B. Llndsey. The brewers seem to think the wo men can "do something," for at one of their conventions they made thiB resolution by unanimous vote: "Re solved, That we are opposod to wo man suffrage everywhere and al ways; for when woman has the bat lot, she jwlll vote 'solid for prohibi tion. She assumes too much," What Is the assumption of. man, when he rep resents a woman ;who does not an about i our . fore-fathers, i and i the "Stamp Act." I The opinion of "fifty women" Is 'a 'very meager - test on which to base' the deslreh of Ameri can women. , To most of the leading nieu.l the strongest 'reasoni for grant ing suffrage to women Is, that tho foremost' women of the 'land, who are devbling' themselves1 to the up lifting of ' humanity are declaring that In the interests of their work It Is necessary that the ballot be given to women.' ' " " -""' "' '" '" i ''There la.'u'o 'real, reason hor de mand for, woman suffrage, , (The de mand now b most , urgent for 'tern pvrance reform Is sweeping over the land and if . women conld vote the life of ; the saloon, would ; be very short'. X Te'tnperanee .women became suffragists1 because, they were forced to be; v They learned. that a d!sfrah- rhlsed' person whether' Idiot, lunatic convict, Indian or woman,' Is a cipher so they were' converted to 'woman SllffragtS. ( i ii ,,n il':n Consistency to our cause compels us to seek the powerful 'weapon of the ballot, for It U only effective measure for the defense of her ho'ne and children. '""Mankind ennnot Vise above the mother of mankind." Tho "humane 'quest ion" lies ntthefounda tlnn of the "woman question " The apostlle Paul Is often unoft-d to women, llo also wrote. "iin-ri i neither bond or free, there In in-lib male nor female In Christ Jesus,"! . A Subscriber At the request of the superintend ent of the public schools, J. V, Gain b'e, It was decided that all atudent above the fourth grade, who make general average over ST per cent.- with no grade below SO per cent on any one subject for the quarter be excused from the regular quarterly examination. This will apply fo one quarter and then the superln tendent Is to report to the board the result. The big Eagle dnnce Is set for Febryary 13. Remember th date 1). i.f If. lYtlvitiiK. I From Krlday'n Dally. , " The members of the Degree' cf Honor met in regular session at their lodge rooms last evening. The first part of the evening was devoted to the transaction of business) of im portance, after which the adjourned for a social time. The 1 iirlncipal amusement was derived from vocal and Instrumental music, Interspersed with 60dal conversation. - Later dainty refreshments' were provided to which all did ample justice. Dancing was thca Indulged In until, a late hour when all departed ,for their homes, voting this 'meeting a most ellghtfiil one and ' ' hoping ' there ould be others, similar to this one, held In the near future. THAT BED SHEET DILL j.-.i j Jin -J Members of House Have a Hot Time ' .... ., Over Measure , , ;i Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 3,,' 1909. There was a hot .time , in the House Tuesday over the adoption of Sink's hotel bill, .This law will com pel! all landlords, as, well as .land ladies to be more particular as to the manner In which they provide for the Comfort of their guests.1 ; The greater part of the afternoon was taken 'up in discussing the merits nd demerits of the bill, and when It came to , counting the ayes and nays, they( were so , evenly ;. divided that the sargeant-at-arms was sent out to bring members who had left, the room to escape voting either vay.; There was such a fervor occasioned that a recess was 'taken until ten 'clock this morning without taking final vote on the proposition. The bill 'was finally passed by the small margin of three voies'. In sbme in stances the law will prove of great benefit to the traveling public,,' and at the same time prove considerable of a hardship upon the hotel men in the smaller towns. Every hotel man In cities the size of Plattsmouth and larger should ' do as the law pro-j vides without any compulsion. Auditor Barton is on his ear be cause the printing committee of the House and senate had the rules b both houses printed without permis sion of the state printing board, and threatens now to refuse to issue a warrant In payment therefor. " Sucll actions as this Is why Mr. Barton is not as popular as he was before the election. , If such partisanship' had creeped out before the election he would not be where he is now. A bill to institute the manufacture of binding twine in the penitentiary came up Tuesday, and carries with It an appropriation of $200,000 to purc hase the necessary machinery ' for operating such a plant, but was post poned until today: When It was call ed up todaj It, was again postponed on account' of the absence of the'penj- lenuary .committee, wnoi is visiting that Institution today. Such a mail factory. Is .maintained In Kansas and several other; state j penitentiaries very profitably, but these states are differently situated ) to that of Ne braska,' In that ' of their ' own ;;coai fields, and many, other necessities to run such' 'factory. ( While I would ilke to 'see such ' experiment, tried,' ' like others, 1 am decidedly opposed to ap propriating .the enormous sum fixed In this bill, until it has been tried far one year, i If It will be of benefit to the farmers' 1 am la favor of expend ing money in this direction,. : '! Every Institution that has a state seal upon it Is represented here ap pealing 1 for enormous appropria tions, but mark my word, they will all bp yit to one-half, of what thoy demand.-"-1" "' l- iU ! The women who want to vote art also represented here to a Iargt number, and are plying their vocjij. lion In favor of submitting a constlj- tutional auienunieiu to ftkl tnem their desires, , We have many, Inthe housq who will favor such an amend ment, but I am opposed to; It, not withstanding they argue that the wo men vote In .various' other states. ; The newspaper men' seem ' to t weir represented In the'IIouso and Senate, there being 12 in the House and 8 In' the Senate.

By the unanimous vote Superintendent Gam bio was re-engaged, a deserved com pliment to a faithful and consci entious educator., Prof. Gamble dur ing bis connection with the .city fiiioola ban brought them to a high Matfl of efficiency and his work fully merit the approbation of the board That his selcttlon will meet with the popular approval among the pub lic goca without saying. The board also found a number of minor school matters with which to put In its time and the application of the members nhowg that they are fully mcrltlnR the many encomiums recently heaped upon our school.
