"It doesn't matter where a I boy learns, if he knows. If a boy who I can not afford to go to high school ' has the brain and ambition to be come a lawyer, who is to say to him ! 'Nay'?" Law College Defended. Judge E. B. Perry of Lincoln and ; AV. H. Miller of Franklin rose to the defence of the law college. After further discussion Judge Dry- | den consented to withdraw his report | The chief speaker of the morning ; session. Senator Fred Dumont Smith ; of Kansas, talked on "The Industrial Court of Kansas.” The "Kansas Idea," he said, was, in 1 its simplest form, to settle Industrial dispute* without violence. "Strike arbitration in the past al ways has been a diplomatic peace im posed on the weaker side. A compro mise results which is not a Just set tlement and is not permanent,” Sena tor Smith said. “The industrial court represents everybody, not merely the employer and the employe. It has the right to intervene only in a strike in an essen tial industry. The court goes into a strike district, investigates wages, liv ing conditions, and profits of the em ployers, and makes its findings pub lic. It subpoenas witnesses. Denies Labor Charge. "In the packing bouse strike In* Kansas City, Kan., both sides refused the offer of the court to arbitrate, so the court said to the packers, ‘If thero is a meat shortage in the state, the state will take over your plant and run it.’ To the strikers it said, ‘If there is so much as a window broken the militia will take control.' The strike wore Itself out without violence. Senator Smith answered the charge of labor that this law forces chattel slavery upon worker*, by saying that it merely protects the right of a man to work when and where he chooses. "In respect for law and order, America rnnks on a level with Tur key and the Balkans,” he declared. "AVe have fatty degeneration of the soul." Former Governor Frank O. Low den of Illinois made the chief address of the afternoon session, "Is the Con stitution Outworn.” "The federal principle has survived the test of armed rebellion," be said.

Bureauc racy at AVashington Is always alert to extend its power. New roliUral ( reed. "Wherever a group of men has found Itself upon our frontier, some form of civil government has emerged at once. It has been the sturdy reli ance of the people upon themsel' s that haa enabled them to form self governing states. But this self-reli ance will be broken down ns men come more and more to look to the federal government for aid. "A new political creed has arisen; not the rights of all men, but the rights of a majority, are its basis. Its friends say that experience has shown that under the doctrine of equality of opportunity a minority of the people acquires more than its share of wealth. They say that the state should take this wealth away. I-n \Ituasia, where they practice the new philosophy most consistently, they not only give this wealth to the state, but j -they kill Its owners. They are not sat- j Isfled with equality of opportunity, they want equality In fact. "The friends of this new creed defy brute force. In this respect they dtfi fer no whit from the disciples of the late much vaunted ‘kultur’ of Ger many. The latter put their faith in tha superiority of tlieir army, while the former place theirs in the physi cal power of the majority to dc what It will t^th the minority.” Former Church Now Home of Lodge Tills Is a picture of the building at Seventeenth and Cass streets which formerly was a Unitarian church hut which has been remodeled as a new home for the Omaha aerie of the Fraternal Order of Ragles at a cost of $35,000.

" ‘Splendid isolation' is a wonderful phrase,” said former Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois nt the twenty tlilr>1 annual banquet of the Nebraska Slate Bar association in the dining hall of lhe Chamber of Commerce last night, "but whether we wish it or not, America must interest herself in the affairs of Europe.” lion. Charles H. Sloan, Geneva, pre sided at the dinner, attended by 1*0 members of the association. Because of train schedules, Senator l\ Dumont Smith of Hutchinson, Kan., who was slated to address the meeting, did not attend. He sent his regrets. • Isolation Destroyed. "It would he a wonderful thing if we could have preserved our former isolation,” said Mr. Lowden in refer ence to foreign policy, "but Morse, when he invented tho electric tele graph, Fulton when he Invented the steamship and Marconi when he In vented the wireless were busily en gaged in destroying this isolation. "Is it not possible, then, for these United States to recover this splendid isolation' they have lost? Let 30 per cent of our wheat fields go back to prairie, 50 per cent of our cotton fields go back to forests, (lose half our copper mines and curtail our pro duction along many other lines. Then we can hope for isolation, but who will pay the price?” In speaking of the shortcomings In America's foreign service and policy, he stated: Sot Self-Sufficient. "America is not self-sufficient. We must follow to some extent the pro gram in force In other nations. We are the only power that changes its foreign representatives at least every eight years. France, a republic like our own, has had Jules Jusserand at Washington for IS years or more. ' England, likewise, does not change her ■ foreign representative though she changes her home officers. It takes experience in diplomacy ns welt as anywhere else, and the diplomats of Europe too often feel that ours are an easy pray because of their lack of experience," Mr. Lowden stressed the need of buying suitable quarters for Anier lean ministers in European countries. Under the present system, he said, each ambassador or minister must I seek his own offices and dwelling, entailing considerable expense. Til? result, he continued, is that the na tion must recruit its foreign repre sentatives from the rich, alone. None Too Many. " “Under our system,” said Mr. Lowden, "there ate none too many tnen qualified to fill these important positions. Why, then, should we pur sue a policy which limits us to a small number of men yj filb these places?” "The salaries of embassy staffs range from $?,000 to $4,000 a year. The social duties of such staff members require a large amount and again we see the sons of socially ambitious rich men, in these positions.- They cannot feel the same devotion to their wmk as one who would make diplo macy his life work could he hut af ford it.” Urges Permanent Undersecretary. That a permanent undersecre tary of statp would help the foreign machinery of the nation function more adequately, is the opinion o^ (Governor Lowden. To prove his point he outlined the duties of the office as illustrated by other nations. Judge P. J Barron of ScottsbluT?. spoke on "Devotion to Law" and Judge E. E.

Omaha went solidly behind supple mental irrigation in Nebraska at a meeting of the agricultural commit tee of the Chamber of Commerce, when an offer was made to match dollars with citizens in the central district for preliminary survey of a 500,000-acre project h Adams, Thelps and Kearney counties. Water pow'er development of 10,000 horsepower also is considered feasible in this district. . Omaha was sold on the idea by , George P. Kingsley, Minden banker; 1 W. M. Dutton, Hastings manufac turer; L, T. Johnson and C. W. Mc Conaughy of Holdrege, They brought with them a recla- | mation service engineer, P. p; Smith, who estimated that this project would triple the average crop production In these counties. The agricultural | committee, when It learned that new i financial support was necessary to carry on the preliminary work of the Central Nebraska Supplemental Water association, asked only "lfow much'.’" And then Carl R. Gray, ■ chairman of the committee, expressed ! the belief that the business Interests of Omaha would unite to match dol- j lars with the business interests of | Minden, Holdrege and Hastings to push the project. Omaha .Should Aid. "Omaha can well afford to give Its support to this plan,” John L. Ken nedy. president of the United Slates National hank and a member of the committee, added. "If this city is to grow it must look to the future of the state for its opportunity.” George P. Kingsley, a banker of Minden, ied the visiting delegation. He explained that though the average rainfall of this region for the last 30 years was 21 Indies, it varied from 14 Inches to 40 inches in different years. In only 10 years out of 30 was it more than 24 inches. The supplemental water project is designed to soak the subsoil of this entire region south of the Platte, providing a constant supply of mois ture for the crops. The method has been used for several years about Lexington, where It has Insured good crops. Photographs were shown of one field having supplemental water which raised 37 bushels of whent to the acre. Across the road the photo graphs showed a farm without irriga tion which raised only 10 bushels to the acre. Another field with a water reserve produced 75 bushels of corn to the acre, while a dry field produced only 5 bushels of nubbins. The cost of water service is $1.76 an acre. Plan Big Reservoir. The tricounty plan calls for a resevoir covering 8,600 acres north of Elwood. This would have a cap acity of water sufficient to cover 218,000 acres foot deep. The resevoir dam would be 100 feet high, thus pro viding large waterpower possibilities. Its site is 84 miles from Hastings. Another reservoir could be constructed north of Smithfield. The water, divert ed from the Platte river, will all flow by gravity, with no pumping. In the fall and spring, when water is plentiful in the river, the irriga tion ditches tyould he filled direct, without using the reservoir. W. M. Dutton, a manufacturer of Hastings, estimated that utilization of water that now goes to waste would make a difference of $50,000,000 in the crop yield of the three counties in the next 10 years. He believed that 13,000 more cars of grain a year j would^he shipped than now. He em- I phasized the possibility of power de- j velopment which would add to the profit of the enterprise. "The federal officials in Washing ton have regarded this plan with fa vorable eyes,” he said, "but if con gress should fail to approve it, I would favor state development, or if that fails, an alliance of the three counties. If they could not agree, then private capital should have a chance. I May Sell Electricity. "The plan now contemplates the j government carrying on the work and selling power and water to tho peo- j pie. I am convinced that electricity can he sold from this project at 3 j cents a kilowat. This would enable j farmers to use electricity for light- | ing, heating and power, and stimu late all sorts of industry.” D. T. Johnson of Iloldrege said the business men of Holdrege, Hastings and Minden had spent $12,000 in pre liminary surveys, tin^he asked Oma ha business men to share some of the future cost or organizing the project and pushing the demand for an appropriation before congress. C. W- McConaughy of Iloldrege ulso spoke. Falls City Couple Observe Golden Wedding Anniversary Falls City, Neb., Dec. 30.—(Special.) —Mr. ami Mrs. George VV.

Washington, Dec. 30.—After the calming of the senate's three-day's storm through withdrawal by Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, of his amendment proposing a world eco nomic conference, the senate today passed ti.o JSl’i',.000,000 naval appro priation bill and adjourned over New Year's day. Debate cn the Borah amendment was not returned and the bill also was passed without mention of the house provision requesting the president to negotiate with the principal naval powers for further armament limita tion. This provision rernaii^ng in the hill will go to the presid^ft and will not come before the senate and house conferees. It requests the president to negotiate with Great Brit ain, Japan. France and Italy, with a view to an agreement limiting vessels under 10,000 tons and aircraft not cov ered by the arms conference treaties. Amendment Withheld. Threatened efforts to extend the house provision did not materialize and after the flurry over tho Borah amendment, Senator King, democrat, Utah, did not offer his amendment proposing a land and sea armament limitation conference. After passage of tile naval bill, the administration shipping bill, which had been laid aside temporarily was brought up again and placed in posi tion for resumption of debate when the senate meets again Wednesday.

Wash lnfcton, in charge of the shipping bill, gave notice, however, that next Wednesday he would call up his resolution to ’create a special com mittee to revise the senate rules with a view to checking future filibusters.

I. and other torpedo stations. The senate, without a record vot<\ rejected an amendment by Senator McKellar, democrat, Tennessee, to cut the navy's enlisted personnel of 86, 000 men authorized by the house, to 67,000 men. The present strength is 86.000 men, but Senators McKellar apd King declared it unnecessarily large and out of proportion to tho British navy. Other amendments reported includ ed proposals by Senator King to re duce the marine corps and also to prohibit use of marines in Haiti and the Dominican republic after June 30. Senator King was assured by repub lican leaders that withdrawal of the marines from the two island repub lics at the earliest opportunity was tho administration's policy.
