PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL
Supreme Court
Rules Jurgensen
Out of Office
Conviction ox Embezzlement March
7th Vacated Office Despite His
Appeal from Conviction.
LINCOLN. June 25 (UP) The
Nebraska supreme court today ousted
Lieutenant Governor Walter H. Jur
gi nscn rom office by ruling the posi
tion lias been vacant since Jurgen
sen was convicted of embezzlement
last March 7.
The high court held that Jurgen
ru n's appeal from the conviction did
not suspend his sentence within the
heal meaning of the term, although
it did stay execution of his 2 to 5
year penitentiary term. The appeal
will be heard next fall.
"It would create an unthinkable
situation to hold that one in law pre
sumed to be guilty of u felony should
hold a position of public trust and
honor," the court said.
"There can be no doubt that thiol
was in the minds of the people when I
they adopted article 3, section 23 of.
our state constitution (provision!
holding that conviction of a felony j
disqualifies a state officer). Logic!
and precedent impel us to the con-j
. lusion that the relator Walter II.
Jurgensen was convicted of a felony
and that thereby a vacancy was cre
ated in the office of lieutenant gov
ernor." A ruling that Jurgensen was en
titled to remain in office, the court
vpheld a quo warranto action brought
by Attorney General Richard C.
Hunter. Jurgensen's counsel argued
that the conviction was not final in
view of the appeal which, it was
assorted, stayed any penalties attach
ed to the conviction.
District Judge E. G. Kroger of
Grand Island who wrote the unani
mous opinion of the high court said
the question had never before been
passed upon by the Nebraska court,
lie said the decision was supported
by virtually all other courts In sim
ilar cases.
Jurgensen filed yesterday for re
election. The secretary of state has
aked the attorney general for an
opinion to decide whether Jurgen
m n's name may be placed on the
primary election ballot.
Jurgensen was found guilty of em
bezzling $549 from Chester C. Kad
erll of Potter. Nebraska in a private
stock and bond transaction. He con
tended he was a victim of "political
persecution."
NORRIS ON PARTY CHANGES
WASHINGTON, June 23 (UP)
Senator George W. Norris. Ind., Neb.,
said today that the proposal of Re
publican National Chairman John
I. M. Hamilton for a coalition of
conservative democrats with republi
cans would "drive all the republican
liberals to the democratic party."
"They've driven a good many lib
erals out of the republican party al
teady." he said. Norris gave up his
republican affiliations to run as an j
independent in 1930. In a speech at
Birmingham, Ala., yesterday Hamil
ton proposed that conservative south-
in democrats join with the repub
licans, asserting that the republican
party was now "more Jeffersonian
than the democratic party."
Norris said that he would be glad
to see all conservatives in one party
and liberals in another. "I don't care
"hat you call them." he said.

REPUBLIC TO MEET U. S. STEEL
CLEVELAND, O.. June 25 (UP)
i Republic Steel Corporation officials
announced today that they were
j meeting the U. S. Steel Corporation's
($2.00 to $4.00 per ton price cut on
1 1 6 classfiicatlons of steel products
but hinted it might become neces
sary to reduce the pay of workers.
IT. J. Clarke, vice-president In
charge of sales for Repul.ic said
that the company practically was
"compelled" to meet the price
slashes of the largest producer of
steel in the industry. He added that
he believed the entire industry would
find it necessary to follow.
Asked whether price reductions
wVrnld result in pay cuts for Repub
lic, Clarke said:
"Naturally we can't produce steel
at $2.00 to $4.00 a ton less and meet
present wages. He said that Republic
was not under contract with any
union organization but did not set
definitely when or to what extent
wages might be reduced.

Veteran Calls
Prize Contest
Winning Easy
Competitor for 15 Years Says Give
Sponsors What's Wanted
Best Year in 1933.
ST. PAUL (UP) Clarence I).
Johnson of St. Paul theoretically sup
ports his wife and seven children
from his salary as a railway clerk.
But his wife and children probably
would insist that his affinity for
prizes in contests helps a lot.
Johnson is an inveterate competi
tor in prize contests. He does not
enter all the contests that are held,
but h tries to get Into as many as
possible, and his results have been
little short of amazing.
He has won more than 100 prizes,
and their value has ranged all the
!wav from $1 to lieailv $1,000. The
j prize list reads something like the
belongings of the American "aver-
lage family."
Once Won Auto
Since he first began entering prize
contests nearly 15 years ago. John
son has won an automobile, seven
bicycles, two wrist watches, an elec
tric refrigerator, three radios, a
phonograph record player, an air
rifle, two dolls, roller skates, assort
ed lamps, a ton of coke, four or five
sets of silverware, and cash prizes
ranging from $1 to $2 50.
That list is just a small sample
of his actual collections, but it gives
an idea of his take in the various
competitions. 0
"If there is one thing certain in
life." he says, "it's that I will win
another prize."
"Some peopi? play the stock mar
ket, others play poker. I play the
contest game. The returns are bet
ter." he argues.
Johnson follows no formula in his
prize contest entries. "I figure out
what the contest sponsors want," he
says, and "then give it to them."
And for him it's as simnle as that.
Eest Year in 1933
Johnson says his best prize year
was in 1933, when most people were
complaining i;bout the depression.
His automobile, though, his biggest
prize, was not received until 1934. He
won that with the slogan, "Sturdy
and fast, built to last."
He does his bit to keep the fam
ily supplied with toys, too, in his
contests.
Once he won a doll for his odest
daughter, Betty. Betty then gra
ciously turned fathers ability over
to a friend who also wanted a doll.
Johnson won her a doll, too. But he
drew the line when his son wanted
him to win a third doll so the box
could give it to a girl friend.
Johnson expects to win something
again before long, but he hasn't the
slightest idea what it will be. A per
ron who plays his game never knows
what's coming next.
WOULD REROUTE HIGHWAY
OMAHA, June 23 (UP) The Om
aha Motor club and Chamber of Com
merce officials expressed surprise at
the reported action of the executive
committee of the Association of
Highway Engineers in Chicago Mon
day in ordering highway No. 16 from
Waterloo to Clarks in Nebraska, be
designated as alternate No. 30.
No. 30 is the highly publicized
trans-continental Lincoln highway.
Reports of the action reached offi
cials of the Nebraska Memorial Lin
coln Highway association yesterday
and caused the group to plan mass
meetings for indignant protests at
the action. The proposal was the
original idea of the Omaha Motor
club announced more than a year
ago. Because of protests of cities
along the regular Lincoln highway
from Blair to Kearney. Omaha clubs
had abandoned the idea and were
united in asking that highway No.
32 be extended from Iowa to form a
new "airline" route which they plan
ned originally to extend westward
almost to the Wyoming line.
WOULD AID CLERGYMEN
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 24
(UP) The board of American mis
sions of the United Lutheran Church
of America today offered refuge to
Lutheran clergymen "suffering per
secution in nazi Germany." The Rev.
Dr. Zenan Zerbe, executive secretary
said a fund would be set aside for
transportation of German Lutheran
ministers to America on condition
that they become American citizens
and enter under the German migra
tion laws.

THANKS AND RESOLU
TIONS OF W. C.
T. U.
The W. C. T. U. wisnes to thank
all non-members who helped in any
way to make the institute of Friday,
June 24th a success. Especially do
we thank the busy men who took
time from their different duties to
jpoak their viewpoints on - subject
cl vital interest to every vi man who
casts a ballot or who is interested in
the standard of the community in
which she lives. We are grateful to
?Tit. Devoe for filling the vacancy
made by Mrs. Mann who was out
of town on business, and for the op
noiiunity it gave us to hear him on
this subject of alcohol education
t'vnugh the school system as he saw
its weaknesses and what is needed
to make it really effective.. We are
happy to have had with us Paul Iver
son as he drew a word picture of
the economic conditions facing youth
today and which might have a bear
ing upon the present consumption of
alcoholic liquors by them, although
lower east side of New York does
not present the deplorable situation
in that way as does west side where
are better economic conditions and
liberty to live a life of least resist
ance. The thoughtfully prepared and
well presented article o Allied
Youth movement and why needed
for the 'teen-age youth of today by
Eleanor Minor fitted most aptly the
suggestion to make total abstinence
popular with this young generation,
and for which we wish to give her
our hearty appreciation.
Also we wish to thank the Journal
for carrying the announcement of our
program not only locally but through
the semi-weekly, and for courtesies
extended by members of the Journal's
staff, the Methodist church officials
for free use of their building; the
privilege to use a corner of the county
court room and assistance given in
use of our mimeograph machine, now
located there.
We were glad to have our state
president. Mary Lee Seibert, of Om
aha, present, who said it was a dif
ferent yet more vital institute than
she had ever attended. There was
also a motion carried to send our
commendation t o Representative
O'Connor of New York for his state
ment read by Miss Olive Gass from
the Washington Letter in Union Sig
nal of June 18. 1938, which we quote
as follows: "I was against prohibi
tion. I introduced bills to repeal pro
hibition but sometimes I have re
gretted that. The whiskey trust and
distillers have debased what we
thought was a great issue of liberty
in these United States. As between
the present condition and what we
expected when 'we repealed the
eighteenth amendment I would be in
clined to consider prohibition today."
In conclusion we also as W. C. T. U.
of Plattsmouth wish to propose for
adoption at our next business meet
ing the following resolution as an
outgrowth of the institute as held:
"Whereas complaints have come to
our members and friends concerning
the conditions under which alcoholic
beverages are sold by those who have
been granted licenses to carry on
such sales in connection with their
business otherwise, and
"Whereas some of the licensees
have allowed their places of busi
ness to become disorderly nuisances.
"We are resolved to make more ef
fort to help propose and support, in
upright and legitimate ways, ordi
nances that will enable efficient con
trol by our mayor, council and police
of this form of business."

A CURIOUS RELIGIOUS SECT
! In the cummer of 1S97 there ap
peared in Sarpy county. Nebraska, a
curious religious sect known as the
' Figgites." According to informa
tion gleaned by research workers of
the Federal Writers' Project. WPA,
the Figgites claimed to possess rare
occult powers. The Figgites were al
ways looking for the devil, not only
in humans, but also animals, which
they perpetually flogged to eliminate
the devil
the evil spirits. Sometimes
occupied inanimate objects, and the
Figgite might be seen shrieking at
him and making motions as if beat
ing him through the air, with noth
ing visible to the eye.
Whenevep a stranger entered the
presence of a true Figgite. the Fig
gite knew whether lie was possessed
of God or of the devil. If the strang
er were possessed of the devil, the
Figgite began driving the devil out
by chastisement. This was some
times rather painful to the recipient
unless his satanic majesty came to
his rescue and aided him to return
the punishment.
One Sunday in July, 1897, a group
ot seven Figgite sisters attended the
Christian church in Gretna. All sat
serenely enjoyir;" the rcrvices uEtil
one sister gave a scream and ran
across the room, apparently chasing
