is a Confidence Builder!
A Bank Accoun inspires con

owner's friends his business
associations and his creditors.
This in itself is sufficcnt re
commendation. But, better still, a bank ac
count raises its own in his
own estimate so that he is
quite likely to do better work
and aspire to higher things.
These arguments can not be
refuted. Ifyou have no ac

0BITUAEY
James Walker Gilmore was born
at Murray, Nebraska, August S, 1902.
Here he attended the public school
until 1917, when he entered the
Kemper military school at Booneville,
Mo., from which institution he grad
uated in 1919. He then entered the
state university of Nebraska at Lin
coln, from which he received the de
irree of B. S. in 1923 His studies
were continued at the University Col
lege of Medicine in Omaha, after his
academic year at Lincoln, he being
transferred there in 1921.
His record as a student was ex
cellent and he had almost completed
his fourth year when after a brief,
but severe illness, death claimed him
on the morning of February 20th,
1925.
The young man had just received
an appointment as interne at the
Northern Pacific hospital of St. Paul,
Minn., and had intended to go to St
Paul the 1st of July.
He was a member of the Kappa
Kappa Alpha fraternity.
Relatives and friends join with the
parents. Dr. and Mrs. Gilmore and
with his brother, John, in mourning
the loss of this excellent young man.
His sister Helen preceded him to the
other land five years ago.
Funeral services were conducted at
the home in Murray, by Rev. W. F.
, about forty members of the Senior
class of the University of Nebraska
'College of Medicine, at Omaha, were
present at the funeral.
Interment was in Oak Hill ceme
tery at Plattsmouth.
PRISON SENTENCE
FOR SHEIKS PRO
VIDED FOR IN BILL
Vamp A1 so Included in Provisions of
-. Bill That Means Penitentiary
For Home Wreckers.
A prison sentence of from one to
five years and a fine of from $500 to
$2,500 are provided in S. F. 123,
advanced to third reading by a vote
of 22 to 5 in the senate Tuesday
morning, after a vigorous debate.
Senator Cooper is the author. He
presented several amendments. The
bill provides thct any person who
shall aleinate the affections of a
spouse shall be deemed guilty of a
felony. The word "maliciously" was
placed after the word "wilfully,"
and the words, "entice away," in
serted in deference to a supreme
court decision making that an essen
tial of the offense.
Mr. Wiltse secured an amendment
that removed an ambiguity, a phras
ing that indicated the possibility of
the act not applying to a married
man. Mr. Chambers secured an
amendment that it should not apply
to relatives and parents who advise
and counsel their children who are
parties to the marriage. Mr. Laugh
lin had one tacked on that would al
low the husband or wife whose af
fections were charged to have been
alienated to testify for the defend
ant. The present law would have
allowed the plaintiff to testify
against th defendant, but would
have sealed the other spouse's lips
as a witness.
Mr. Jeary moved to indefinitely
postpone. He said the idea was good
jut that this would enable lawyers
in Lincoln, Omaha and elsewhere to
make a good living by utilizing the
wide possibilities of blackmail con
tained in the right to file such a
criminal charge. He thought that
the law should not attempt to pro
vide a method of avenging all civil
wrongs by this method. The guilty
part- is now liable to civil damages
nd may also be prosecuted for
adultery or similar crimes.
Mr. Robertson objected to so much
time being taken up by bills that
seem to affect Omaha largely, and
he moved that these and some salary
bills be made a special order for Sat
urday afternoon. Mr. Cooper retort
ed that any senator who did not wish
to hear or take part in debates would
nd another room handy. He said
that if he was ever sincere this was
one time. The situation in this re-
peet bas grown appalling and
alarming. ' "People talk of doing
something to prop up the home and
lessen divorces. " He is one way to do
it, he said.
Mr. Robertson interrupted to in
quire why not have an open season
on these fellows, but Mr. Cooper re
plied that that may suit the member
from Holt, but he wanted a closed
senson on them. He deplored the
fact that there were senators pres
ent who had not had a new thought
in forty years. He said that civil
liability was not a remedy where a
man or woman who did the damage
was not responsible. He wanted to
stop the butterfly, gathering money
here and virtue there.
Mr. Cooper read a number of let
ters from persons whose homes had
been broken up. Mr. Reed told of
one letter he received from a woman
who had lost her husband and their
little fortune of $100,000 thru the
machinations of a vamp who seized
upon the husband.
When the roll call was taken only
Jearj-, Dysart, Griswold, Hove and
Banning voted to kill the bill, which
was then advanced to third reading.
HOPE IS HELD FOR
THE POSTAL BILL
Senate Conferees Agree to Substance
Of House Measure Coolidge
Sees a Possible Flaw.
'Washington, Feb. 24. A postal
pay and rate increase bill in sub
stantially, the form as that passed by
the house, was agreed to today by
conferees on the senate and hous
measure. The only important modi
fication in the house measure wa3
made in second class rates, the con
ferees accepting some of the lowec
rates in this class carried in the sen
ate bill.
In the form agreed to by the con
ferees, the bill would increase postal
salaries as of January 1, this year,
and the rate increases would become
effective next April 1.
Representative Kelly, republican,
Pennsylvania, said the bill as agreed
to would raise $60,000.000 ( cr $2,-
000,000 less than the original bill.
He plans to call it up tomorrow in
the house.
The second class rates which have
formed the center of controversy on
the measure as now provided would
be. for advertising matter, 2 cents
a pound for the first and second
zones; 3 cents a pound for the third
zone; 6 cents a pound for the fourth,
fifth and sixth Eones. and 9 cents a
pound for the seventh and eighth
zones.
President Coolidge today asked
Postmaster General New to furnish
him an analysis of the house bill.
He is giving particular attention to
the provisions making the pay in
crease retroactive to January 1, and
the rate increase effective April 1.
These provisions, Mr. Coolidge be
lieves, would involve a direct tax on
the treasury of $22,000,000 and such
an outlay is "giving him some con

BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON
Sunday, March 1st
Brigga
Christ Before Pilate
Central Thought: "Can mortals
make trial of the Son of God?"
The lesson of two weeks ago, for
February 15th, ended with the scene
in the Garden of Gethsemane, when j
the Master was led away to the hall
4, By M. S.
of the high priest, where a mock j
trial was held. He with the disciples ; rushing in and delivers a message
had been in the garden during the j from his wife, in which she- said,
past few hours and it was now ap-j"Have nothing to do with this just
proaching midnight and Peter and j man; I have suffered many things
others of the disciples had followed. ! this day in a dream because of him."
Tliey were assembled in the court of Then again Pilate asked of tbe peo
the high priest's house. This court! rle, which of the two he should re
was an open place with the buildings J lease unto them, end then answered
surrounding and on the pavement him saying "BaraLbas. and crucify
a fire was burning for it was cold in
the night air. As the crowd gather
ed about the fire to get warm, they
talked and some said unto Peter,
"You are one who was with this
man." Peter denied this, even to a
second and third time, the last with
an oath. It is said the police were
a that time taking the Master past
where they were standing and He
overheard Peter, turning and look
ing reproachfully at him, after which
Peter went out and wept bitterly.
Peter had thought he was strong
enough to not have denied the Mas
ter, but at that moment discovered
that he was a weakling. At this time
t!ae Sanhedrian, the Jewish church
board had met illegally as it could
not meet at night and this was near
midnight. Judas Iscariot was pres
ent and saw the Christ beaten, spat
upon and otherwise abused and it
came to him that he had betrayed
the Master into the hands of a pack
of human hyenas who were seeking
his very life's blood. The enormity of
his crime came to him and going to
the Sanhedrian he offered the money
back, but the priests refused to ac
cept it and he threw it down on the
pavement and went from the building
into the night, a creature without
tope, ending his life by hanging
himself. The money he had so eag
erly accepted for betraying the Mas
ter, only to cast it away in scorn
when he saw the error of what he
had done, was used to buy a burial
place for strangers, known as the
Potters' field and which has come
clown to our present day as the final
resting place of derelicts in the
world, men of lost hope.
AVhen the Master was taken to the
hall, he was conducted before Caia
phas, the high rriest, who asked him
if he was the Christ, but Jesus an
swered him naught. Then Caiaphas
said, "I adjure thee by the living God
iliat thou tell us whether thru be
Christ, the son of God." The. Master
answered, "Thou hast said," meaif
ing "I am." The high priest rent his
clothes and called the answer blas
phemy and the Sanhedrian condemn
ed him to death. The officers who
had charge, being a rough crowd,
blindfolded the Master and striking
him in the face with their fists and
with sticks, saying "Prophecy who
has struck you." They also spat on
him and platted a crown of thorns
which they crowded down on his
head and putting a purple robe on
him mocked and scoffed, calling him
the King of the Jews.
When the morning was now come,
the Sanhedrian came together again
and decided that Jesus should be
crucified. The "Senhedrian had the!
power to pass sentence of death on
aEy one but thcy took nim to pon-
tins Pilate, the governor, to have
their .decree confirmed.
They told Pilate of their findings
and charged the Master with claim
ing to be a king and with blasphemy
as well. Pilate was not to be fool
ed by the crafty Jews, and he gave
the Master a trial himself.
When the Master stood before the
governor, Pilate asked him, "Art
thou king of the Jews?" Jesus an
swered him saying, thou sayest, but
added, king of spiritual Israel. Then
the chief priest and elders came in
and accused him of many things, and
Christ answered them nothing. Pilate
said, "Do you not hear what they
testify against you, and do you not
answer. Do you not know that I have
power to turn you free or to con
demn you?" Still the Master an
swered him naught.
This was a feast day, and it was
the custom to release a prisoner, sc
Pilate asked the Jews, "Whom shall
I release unto you. Barabbas, (who
was a hardened criminal) or Jesus,
who is called the Christ?" for he
knew that for envy they had brot
the Master to him. They cried with
one accord, by instruction from the
chief priests, "Release Barabbas."
Then Pilate said, "What shall I do
with the King of the Jews?" They
cry, "Let him be crucified."
Now as Pilate was sitting on the
judgment seat," a messenger comes

Jesus. Pilate said. What evil has
he done? I find no fault in him." But
they only howled like the frenzied
moo they were, and percieving that
he was getting nowhere with them,
Pilate had a basin ol water brought
and washing his hands before them
said, "I am innocent of the blood of
Miis innocent man; see you to it."
Then the crowd said, "Let his blood
be on us and on our children." and
Pilate released unto them BaraLbas
and delivered Jesus to be crucified.
Pilate presents a peculiar situa
tion. He was shrewd enough not to
be fooled by their wild clamor, and
he placing Jesus before them said,
"Behold this man." Jesus came forth
with a mok kingly robe which the
ofi'ioers had placed on him, and Pilate
hoping they would set in the Mas
ter his innocence and acknowledge
him as being just and without sin.
But the populace who less than a
week before had cried, "Hosannah,
Hosannah! Blessed is the king who
cometh in the name of the Lord.
fPeate in heaven and glory in the
highest," now were in a wild frenzy,
and crying "Away with him; such a
one is not fit to live. Crucify him!
Crucify him!"
Pilate expected to save Jesus, but
as the Jews showed an inclination to
carry the matter to Rome in the light
that Jesus was trying to pass as a
king, Pilate had the alternative of
facing the emperor at Rome on the
charge cf protecting an iuiposter or
allowing the Jews to crucify him.
The scourging, the buffeting, the
rough usage which Jesus was receiv
ing at the hands of the infuriated
mob had about worn out his physical
strength. He was bruised, wounded,
had been spat upon and battered in
the face. He had just passed thru
the experience in the garden, now he
had been buffeted and roughly han
dled for many more hours, and they
had in derision placed a crown of
thorns on his head, the sharp points
InPide and as this had been crowded
clown on his head, the blood from the
cruel wounds trickled down his face.
During all this abuse and rough
handling the Master never said a
word or offered a protest for he had
come from high heaven as a babe,
grew to manhood, suffered many
things and was now to give his life
that the world might be redeemed
from the bondage of sin.
And now it is for us to accept his
sacrifice and do his commandments.

TARIFF ON HIDES IS UNLIKELY
Washington, Feb. 24. Congress
man Simmons, Sixth Nebraska dis
trict, has been bombarding the house
ways and means committee membrrs
urging them to rush through a spe
cial tariff schedule on hides. Con
gressman Green, Iowa, chairman of
the committee, said: "Ccngre?sinan
Simmons has repeatedly urged the
committee to take immediately ac
tion for a per cent duty on hides for
the relief cf the western cattle pro
ducers. Of course, the committee
might report out Euch a measure if
it so chose, but lt is my Judgment
that a tariff on hides would not be
of much use without a tariff on
leather. If you can enact a special
tariff on hides and leather, then shoe
manufacturers will combine with
other interests and block your spe
cial schedule."
