II SPECIAL SESSION
MR. BRYAN SEES WORK FOR NE
BRASKA LEGISLATORS.
INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM
Letter to Democratic Members Ask
ing Their Views in Reference
to the Proposed Extra Session.
Hon. W. J. Bryan has mailed a let
ter to all democratic members of the
last legislature asking them if they
will support an initiative and refer
endum resolution for the submission
of a constitutional amendment to
that effect at the general election
this fall.
He has also asked J. H. Msckett,
Jr.. president of the Nebraska Direct
Legislation league to get a poll of the
republican members. The letter fdr
most part follows:
My Dear Sir: The failure of the
legislature to rbmlt the initiative
and referendum at its regular session
has brought county option which is
direct legislation into the present
campaign, and this question Is draw
ing attention from national issues. It
is unfortunate that this should be the
case at this time when six congress
men are to be elected, and when a
senator is to be chosen by the next
legislature.
Unless the mistake made by the
legislature can be remedied, our par
ty will be confronted by a very seri
ous situation. It might promise in Its
platform to submit the initiative and
referendum at the next session, but it
could hardly expect to be trusted to
submit the measure next ime if with
a democratic governor, senate and
house it is unable to do so. now, un
less it declares its Independence of
special interests.
In my opinion the best way to meet
the situation is by the submission of
ths initiative and referendum by a
called session of the legislature and
I have no doubt that Governor Shal
lenberger will call such a special ses
sion if assured that a majority of
both houses will support the initia
tive and referendum resolution,
which will give to the people the
legislative machinery through which
they could legislate upon any ques
tion In which they are Interested. A
called session would also doubtless
ratify the income tax amendment
If it is not possible to submit the
Initiative and referendum for ratifica
tion as a constitutional amendment
at the election this fall, nothing is
left for our party to do but to de
clare for the initiative and referen
dum and county option in its state
platform this summer. In order to
ascertain whether an initiative and
referendum resolution would pass In
case of a special session being called,
I take the liberty of submitting the
question to you and to the other dem
ocratic members of the senate and
house. Please wire me at once, at
my expense, whether you would be
willing to support such a resolution
at a special session.
In a written statement regarding
his letter to democratic members, Mr.
Bryan says: "I hope that the dem
ocratic and republican papers that fa
vor the initiative and referendum
will take the matter up and urge the
passage of the initiative and referen
dum resolution. It might be well for
the committeemen and all others,
both democrats and republicans, who
are Interested in the present cam
paign, to see these senators and mem
bers who didn't support the meas
ure at the last session and point out
to them the importance of the special
secsion. o
Hughes Is Appreciative.
In reply to its telegram of congrat
ulations over his appointment as a
member of the United States su
preme court, the State Railway com
mission has received the following
message from Governor Hughes:
Albany. N. Y.. April 27. Nebraska
State Railway Commission. Lincoln,
Neb.: "I cordially appreciate your
telegram.
"CHARLES E. HUGHES."

Vannees Writes Again
C. C. Vanness, a member of the
Soldiers' home at Grand Island, who,
for complaining of the meat betas;
served to the old veterans, was
charged by the democrats with trying
to stir up trouble for poUtlcal rea
sons, has denied the charge In a let
ter to Secretary of State Junkln.
Vanness said he would show to any
person who visited the home that the
soldiers were not fed good meat and
that those who could not come there
could be convinced by calling upon
the governor and asking for reports.
STATE FIRE WARDEN
'Seeks to Have Instruction in tht
Schools.
A. V. Johnson, state fire warden,
has written a letter to State Superin
tendent Bishop suggesting that a day
or an hour of some day each month be
set aside for the teachers to instruct
their pupils about how to prevent fires
and what to do In some emergencies.
It is Mr. Johnson's idea that if the
children are taught the dangerous use
of gasoline and kerosene and what to
do In case of explosion, as well as how
to prevent fires by keeping refuse
burned and the danger of permitting
old papers to be stac-ned in an attic
or closet that the lessons now learned
will remain with them always.
Mr. Johnson gave out the following
statement:
The Nebraska Fire commission,
whose business it Is to do everything
possible for the prevention of fire
waste desires to direct public atten
tion to the necessity of a general
cleanup during the spring time. De
bris that has accumulated during the
winter months should be thoroughly
cleared away. The reasons for this
are obvious, one which might be men
tioned is that this debris is often re
sponsible for spontaneous combustion,
which, more prevalent during the hot
summer months than during the cold
er period. Is generally regarded by ex
perienced fire fighters as one of the
chief causes of what are called "un
known fires."
Too often houses are built without
giving proper consideration to attic
ventilation; the hot summer sun beats
on the roof, the heat in the -attic be
comes intense and with the attic filled
with rubbish, dust, oily rags, highly
varnished pieces of furniture or other
accumulations spontaneous combus
tion is a natural result
Closets are often used for storing
away greasy overalls, old clothes and
oily rags, such closets should be thor
oughly cleaned and this is particularly
true of the closet under the stairway.
which is too often permitted to be
come a fire trap immediately under
the only way of escape from the upper
stories of the building.
This Is the season for varnishing
and painting, hence old rags used for
wiping greasy wood and varnished sur
faces should be burned; If they must
be saved for future use they should
be kept in an Iron receptacle substan
tially covered and set away from the
wood buildings.
Paint and oily rags, varnish and
waste, used to wipe machinery are
particularly liable to spontaneous com
bustion. We desire to suggest that when peo
ple are removing thair stoves for the
summer months. If they would be care
ful to see that the hole in the chim
ney was stopped with a metal thimble
and not with paper or rags it would
prevent a great many fires.
New Fraternal Organization.
The Clansmen of America, of
Omaha, a new fraternal organization,
has been licensed to do business in
this state. The rates of the new com
pany are not up to the fraternal con
gress standard and consequently did
not meet with the approval of the au
ditor. Nevertheless, under the insur
ance law a license must be issued
when 250 applications have been
signed, no matter what the rates may
be.
Money for Soldiers' Homes.
Governor Sha'.lenberger received
from the government warrants for $9,
175 for the use of the two soldiers'
homes. The money is apportioned at
the rate of $100 for each member of
the home. At Grand Island there are
255 members and at Milford 112.
Missouri Pacific Loses.
Maggie Wollenburg. who won a
damage suit against the Missouri Pa
cific in the district court of Douglas
county, after having been tossed some
sixty-five feet by an engine, won out
also in the supreme court
Cost of Life Insurance.
Figured on the basis of the vote cast
in 1908. every man in Nebraska who
has attained his majority spent $13.70
for life insurance last year. This rep
resents an Increase over the preceding
year.
New Lieutenant
The adjutant general's office has au
thorized the election of a second lieu
tenant in the Gatling gun section at
Beatrice, that section having recently
increased its strength to thirty men.
Go to Fort Riley.
There will be no state camp for the
Nebraska national guard this year, ex
cepting the rifle teams. All the rest
of the guard will be taken to Fort
Riley. Adjutant General Hartlgan has
refigured the expense of taking the
guard, amounting In all to about 1.100
men, and believes that he can send all
of the boys to Fort Riley on the $30.
000 that Is available for the purpose.
Some of the companies may, however,
be left behind unless they are able
to show a strength of at least forty
three men.
Net Like Sample.
Superintendent Percival of the Nor
folk asylam has notified the state
board of public lands and buildings
that the coffee delivered to his institu
tion by-the H.P. Law company' does
not conform to the sample which was
submitted to the board when the con
tract waa let Dr. Percival sent a
sample of the coffee to the board and
according to Secretary of State Junkin
it la not like the coffee that was
bought The superintendent will be
notified to reject the shipment as soon
aa the board can get together.
Model Submitted in Fall.
Daniel C. French, who has a con
tract to construct the Lincoln monu
ment, to be located on the grounds
of the state house, has written to F. M.
Hall that he will not submit the model
mtil next fall. Mr. French said in
:1s letter that the model bad been
completed, but that he is shortly leav
ng for Europe and therefore he de--vires
to look over it again before send
ng It to Nebraska. He believes after

of this section.
The debate Friday continued to be
of an animated character. It was par
ticipated in by Messrs. Cummins,
Root. Aldrich. Borah, Bailey, Hey
burn and others. Senator Clay deliv
ered a set speech in opposition to the
bill, and Senator Bristow closed his
address in condemnation cf the pres
ent rate-making system.
When Mr. E!kins called attention to
the connection of the Canadian gov.
ernment with the Canadian roads, Mr.
Bristow declared the American gov
ernment had built the Union Pacific
railroad and presented it to its own
ers. Mr. Smoot came to the assistance
of Mr. Bristow in contending for the
adoption of the long and short haul
amendment, whereupon Mr. Elkins
charged that the effect would be to
raise rather than decrease local non
competitive rates. The Utah ani
Kansas senators said their states were
willing to take their chance on that

PLEASES SCHURNUN
Cornell President Sees Good in
Big Philanthropy Scheme.
Believes Congress Should Grant Re
quest for National Ch.ter
Would Change Only One
Small Detail.
Ithaca, N. T. In an address
before the Council congress on
Friday night President Jacob Gould
Schurman of Cornell commended the
scheme for the Rockefeller foundation
for which congress has been asked
for a national charter. President
Schurman devoted his entire speech
of several thousand words to this sub
ject and In summing up he said:
"I recognize that section No. 2 of the
bill, which defines the object of the
Rockefeller foundation, authorizes and
empowers that foundation to do any
thing and everything which may pro
mote and advance human civilization,
that is to say, morals and religion, art
and science, manners snd social Inter
course, and aU that concerns the po
litical, economic, and material well
being of Individuals snd communities.
This is a vast field for the exercise of
philanthropy.
"But Mr. Rockefeller has conceived
a vast scheme of philanthropy, for the
benefit of his fellow citizens and man
kind. His character, ability and or,
ganlzing skill are adequate guarantees
that he will carry out his scheme
wisely and successfully, with incal
culable benefit and blessing to man
Lind. It is in the interest of the na
tion that he be given a free band in
the exTcise of his colossal benefi
cence. So long as he is active or his
Influence remains It would be wise
and safe to give the foundation the
sort of organization he desires. Neith
er now nor hereafter does it seem nec
essary to limit the scope of his benefi
cence, which Is coextensive with the
efforts of mankind to attain a higher
civilization.
"The only change I would desire to
see In the proposed bill is the total or
partial elimination of the method cf
selecting trustees by co-operation. The
organization might well be left a close
corporation, if Mr. Rockefeller so de
sires, for a generation. But after that
time I am confident that it would inure
both to the efficiency of the foundation
and to the public welfare to say noth
ing of the satisfaction of the sentiment
of a democracy If the majority of the
trustees were appointed by the presi
dent of the United States, with the
advice and consent of the senate, or
selected by some other high abiding,
governmental agencies that may fairly
be regar-Ied as representing the peo
ple of the United States, whose wel
fare is the primary object of the im
mense and glorious benefaction."

HARD HEARTS ARE MELTED.
W. J. Ford, for five years aa em
ploye of the National Roofing Co.,
tells a tale of suffering that would
move the hardest heart He writes
the following letter telUng how he
was quickly cured by the United Doc
tors, those master medical specialists,
who have their Omaha Institute at
232 Neville block, corner Sixteenth
and Harney streets.
Omaha. Neb.. March 9. 1910.
"For ten weeks I lay flat on my back
with Sciatic rheumatism and kidney
trouble and could not move myself in
the bed and when I was moved, could
scarcely bear tho excruciating pain.
I had three physicians and tried threo
or four different kinds of patent med
icine in the hope of finding something
that would relieve the terrible agony
for I could not move hand or foot
without suffering more than It seemed
possible for one to suffer and live,
but nothing seemed to help me.
One day a friend whose wife was
under treatment by the United Doc
tors, came to see me. He told me
how quickly she had been helped
from the first by these wonderful
specialists and how well she had been
ever since, and urged me to make a
great effort to get to their offices oa
the second floor of the Neville block,
corner Sixteenth and Harney streets.
I hired a man to help me and he had
to almost carry me Into their office.
That was four weeks' ago and today I
walked Into their effice without even
the use of a cane. In two days after
beginning the treatment I could notice
an improvement and it has been a
steady and gradual Improvement ever
since.
"I feel that I cannot speak too
highly of your wonderful new system
of treatment and would like to urge
all who are sick and suffering to go
to the United Doctors."
W. J. FORD.
