the Invitation cordial. '
Lata Saturday evening a number of the

The suspicions of the Council Bluffs
club men proved right as far aa the "club

turned a deaf eur to the "visitor" and de
manded of every man a card of a certain
color, which signified a paid-up member
ship. Kven with this the polce took
the names of those employed around e- h
club, and things looked gray and dry so
far as the places are concerned where a

CHINAMAN NO CAN HABRP! LAW

' Vanoas' Epnna4laar of Statntea.
Sergeant Vanous ambled Into a Chinese
laundry Sunday and found an Industrious
Celestial working over an Ironing board.
"Don't you know It's against the law to
labor on Sunday," said the sergeant a he
took down John's name.
"No aabba law," replied John. "Whafaw
white man alia time talky law, lawT No
ttktm law. Me too buay work, you sabbe?
Me no hurt no man; alle same pletcyman,
me heap good."
It was too deep for John. He couldn't
aee why an Industrious heathen couldn't
go ahead quietly at his work, so the ser
geant went Into an exhaustive explanation
of the civil law, which waa intended to
keep Wan Lee from Violating th Sunday
obaervance atatute, and finished by t!lng
something about the mrral law.
The officer told the Chink with careful
detail that formerly the laws of Connecticut
were so strict that people could not eat
mince pie on Sunday, but they were much
more reasonable now. - .
No rat mince pie," asked th Chink,
"all-a-same chop auey."
The sergeant explained there was some
difference between the American mince pie
and Chinc-ae chop auey, as onwas served
in a bowl and the other 1aked between
crusts of dough.
"No sabbe Sunday" waa the final answer
of the slant-eyed violator of the : law.
Bundy. lnsday alle same to me."
And the officer left the laundryman to
live in darkness, muttering something under
hla breath about the heathen Idol made of
mud, that they call the "great gud Bud.",

greatest school measures ever passed In
tho history of the atate waa the. one by
the last legislature appropriating -$'.0,000 ti
provide statu aid for seven months of
school In the weak rural districts of the
western counties, whose local funds will
not provide such term of school. There will
be about 1.000 districts entitled to slate aid
under this measure. At leant 15.0U0 boys
and girls will receive two years' more
schooling than they have been able to ob

Fad No. 8 The Junior, normal fad. Dur
Ing the last five yearn the enrollment In
the Junior normal schools has reached
nearly 6.(00 teachers. Never did the state

during the session of 19. The more you

Fad No. 9 A fad for normal training
In hlRh schools. This Is not a new ques
tlon In the educational world. It waa
first Inaugurated In the state of New
York about anventy-flva years ago. This
was before t.ie. opening of the first state
normal acnool in America, at Lexington
Mass., July 3. 1839. During the lut
twenty yeara New York has appropriated
annually $100,000 for normal training In
100 or lta atrongent ntgn schools, not
withstanding it has 3o0 college. unl
versitiex, academies and seminaries and
sixteen f ull-n'lged state normal school!

The school legislation enacted by the
thirtieth session of the legislature of
Nebraska is of far-reaching Importance
Never before have the common school
had bo fair a hearlnar. The school people
of the state are grateful to the members
of thn legislature. Individually and col
lectively, for their deep personal Interest
in educational affairs and for their recog
nltlon of the n'eds of the common schools
Tho extraordinary suceeas In wholesome
legislation Is largely due. not to mv re-
ommenda,tlon of these measure! to the leg
islature, hut to the united efforts of the
school men and school women of the state
and the great Interest of the leaivlators
themselves In the schools of the people.
Few Words on Veto,
In conclusion, permit me to mnko a
atatenient relative tn the governor's vet
of the appropriation for the Kearney State
Normal and my attitude toward the
school. Governor theldon requested a
citizen of Kearney, who was untiringly
soliciting the legislature In behalf or the
appropriation for tiie statu normal school
there, to frame the proposed bill for
t 100.000 for additional nrmal school
ulldlngs at Kearney In two Items of
$60,000 each, so that In the event the
state's revenues would not permit him
to fclgn the bill for $100,000 he could allow
one Item In the bill and veto the other.
Dr. Ij. P. Ludden, secretary of the Board
of Education of the state normal achools,
told both the Hon. C. 11. Oregg, your
local member of the board, and President
A. O. Thomea of the Kearney Statd Nor
Dial school more than once, by letter and
by telephone, as well as by oral counsel,
that he thought It unwise to try for more
than a $50 000 appropriation. Leading
members of the legislature counseled them
likewise. The house confidently expected
the senate to cut the appropriation to
$54,000. In all probability a majo-lty of
the senate looked to the governor to veto
the bill as passed at $86,000, unkss the
state revenues would clearly warrant
auch appropriation. But the Kesrney
managers thought they had a '-di.-id
(Inch'' on both the legislature nnd the
governor. They legislated In hafcle and
repented at leisure.
Aa to my attitude toward the atte nor
mal schools, I want to speak In such
plain lano-uage that he who runs may
read. I shall oppose an appropriation if
$150 000 by the next legislature for new
bulldlnga at the Kearney State Norm il.
the amount President Thomas declared he
would come down for at the next aexalon
of the legislature when he first heard of
Governor Sheldon's veto. T shall favor
an appropriation of $50 000 for new bulld
lnga at Kearney and $60,000 for new bulld
lnga at Peru by the next legislature. I
shall favor an Increase of at least 26
per rent in the appropriation for salaries
at both schools.
Bell Faith fl to Trnat.
A committee of colored people In Lin
coln, composed of Christopher Stewart, M.
E. Slreeter and John Glpson, who were
associated with Benton Bell of Omaha In
looking after Harrison Clarke's Interests
after his confinement in tha state peniten
tiary awaiting execution, desire It pub
lished that Benton Bell made a valiant
fight to secure clemency for Clarke; that
he worked early and lata on bis mission;
that he solicited funds In Lincoln and In
terested Lincoln copl tn th condemned
m!. and. In fact, that he left no stone tin-
turned to carry out the Instructions of the
committee In Omaha which sent him hre.
These men desire It made known that they
knew nothing of the rasa except what had
been told them and that they did not as
sist Clarke because he wss of their race,
but because It had been reported to them
that he had not had a fair trial. Stewart,
the spokesman for the committee, said he
was satisfied that everything had been
done for Clarke that could be done, and
that Governor Sheldon had given Clark
very opportunity to prove his aide of the
story, and he was satisfied with the out
come In that Clarke had fair and square
treatment here and that Pell had left noth
ing undone that could have saved film,
even to swearing the man waa Insan at
the last moment. Stewart requested thl
be made public that the colored men of
Omaha would know that Clark had a
fair show here.
Lincoln Still Aggrieved.
The fight of the Lincoln jobber to gft
imi -ste from tho south tht Omaha
does, In addition to It own low rate out.
Is to be transferred to the courts. .Tester-
day the Nebraska Material company re-
celved a carload of lime from Arkansaa.
The agent of the company tendered the
Rock Island agent the amount Of money
which would have been charged had the
lime gone to Omaha.. The agent refused It
and the Material company then replevlned
the lime and secured posaesslon of It. The
matter will now be fought out In the
courte, It being the Intention of other Lin
coln Jobbera to follow the precedent set by
the Material company.

COMMENT OF THE FOREIGN PRESS
Wide Difference of Opinion Regarding
Dispatch of Fleet.
LONDON, Dec. 15. The daily newspa
pers ar publishing long .account from
their American correspondents on tho
preparations for the cruise of Rear Ad
miral Evana fleet, but refrain from com
menting upon its significance, xcept In
the naval columns, In which experta CU
cus th advisability of testing tha ve
slsting power of ships to the wear and
tear of a long voyage. Naval officials
grcev that this, although expeor.lve, is
desirable and also that the cruise of the
American battleohlps will afford g-iod
tralnlug for the officers and men.
The Outlook, a weekly publication, on
the other hand, returns to the discussion
of the political significance of the move
ment. In a long article it say:
"The building up o fthe states on the
Pacific slope, the annexation of Hawaii,
the growth of American commerce In the
far east by the purchase of the Philip
pines and the rise of Japan have reacted
upon the destinies of America with ever
Increasing Intensity. A a posilble bat
tleground In th future, it ia no longer
the Atlantic, but the paclllo that claim
American thought."
On these grounds and the fact that It
would demonstrate the atarteglo neces
sity of the Panama canal and that, it
would serve as a warning to congress
that the present forces are not sufficient
to protect the two coast lines, the crulne
Is held to be defensible, but still "It Is
Impossible to separate it from the fric
tion that exists between the United States
and Japan."
The Sunday Observer says it is difficult
to believe that the Pacific crula of tho
American fleet 1 dictated by purely pro
fessional reasons. "The plain fact la,
says th Observer, "that the cruise 1
political reconnaissance In foroe tn view
of the rise of Japan. The fleet bear the
American flag to the Pacific a a symbol
of the power and an expression of the
national will that It will defend and de
velop American interest. Its dispatch
looks singularly Ilk a bluff Wnd an In
discretion. W fear that th Americana
have mad a profound mlstak If they
presume too much on Japanese patience.
It Is undeniable that there Is an cleme.nt
of potential peril In the voyage."
The Sunday Tune dwells upon the per
onallljr f Count UayasbL th Japan
irelgn minister, to whom full recognition
f Japanese Immigrant Is a matter of Ufa
r death. He Is not the man to be frlght
ned at the dispatch of the pacific fleet,
ays the Times, anil It adds: "If he
gnores the move for the time bring, he
vlll plod on untl) he succeeds with peace
n 1 remonstrances or ran see no issue but
-o fight."
Good Practice for Navy.
BERLIN. Dec. 16. The Oerman admiralty
ia been observing for some time with the
greatest Interest the preparation for the
leparture of the American ..est, which la
-n-ei here assthe most unusual naval
experience of modern times. The only event'
..men is considered comparable to this
rulse of the American battleships to the
Pacific Is the passage of the Russian ..ret
from the Baltic, around the sea of Japan.
Although the Russian ..eet started on this
voyage under circumstance Involving much
greater danger, owing to a state of actual
war existing, yet the American fleet com
prises a greater number of fighting Bhips,
and they are of. vastly more Importance.
Expert opinion among naval men la that it
will be splendid practice for the fleet. While
most navies have worked out such a prob
lem theoretically, it Is thought likely that
the practical carrying out of such a lengthy
voyage will reveal many things that ought
to be known and bring to light weaknesses
if they exist.
Russian Make Comparisons.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 15. The' de
parture of the American fleet evokes in
tense Interest here. It has occasioned a
volume of newspaper comment, th strength
and preparedness of the Americans being
described a showing a strong contrast to
that of Rojestvensky's squadron on lt ill
starred cruise.
The newspapers are unanimous In their
conviction of the far-reaching effects of
shifting the- naval' strength of the United
States front Atlantic to Paclilc waters, Th
Novoe Vremya does homage to whst It
terms "a . bold . Rooscyeltian stroke," to
restore the balance of power In tha Pa
cific, whlcn , had been disturbed by the
recent war.
"The squadron," says the Novoe Vremya,
"will -actually serve as the best guarantee
of peace by checking the elation of oriental
nations." . .
The Novo Vremya points out that the
cruise cannot fall to profoundly Impress
the Latin-Americans, thereby lending addi
tional weight to the Monroe doctrine.
The Rech fears that the concentration of
such Immense power on the California
shores will vastly increase tho responsi
bility of the federal government, as It Is
inevitable that It will produce an Outburst
of warlike sentiment and will feed th
flame of race feeling In the Pacific coast
tates. . , .

COREAN PRINCE IN JAPAN
Given an Oration on Arrival at Toklo
to Be Edncnted I nder Japnnese
Direction.
TOKIO, Dec, 15, Th arrival of the
crown prince of Corea and Marquis Ito
this afternoon was made the occasion of
a brilliant spectacle. Thousands of people
assembled at the Slilnbashl. station, where
the party detrained.
The crown prince, of Corea was heartily
welcomed by the crown prince of Japan
In official full dress, amidst salvos of ar
tillery. The appearance , at the party at
the entrance to the depot was the signal
for long sustained cherlng and the young
croWn prince of C6rea was evidently dc-
llghfed over IlBv "rpcejUol. Jla, waa driven
to the 3hllja palace, accompanied by the
crown prince of Japan and Marquis Ito,
along a route lined, by Imperial guadsmou.
FIttg were profusely displayed all over
the city. Ho will bo received In audience
by the emperor of Japan,, December 18.
Plans for the education of the Corean
crown prince have not yet ben completed,
but they will now lie arranged under tho
direction of Marquis Ito. ,
The arrival of Marquis Ito means the
beginning of conalderablo activity In ad
ministrative and political circles. Many
matters await final approval. Included
among them Is the decision whether tho
Canadian minister of Labor, Lcmleux, will
be given a written note concerning lm
migratlon. There Is no reason to bellove,
however, that the government will change
Its original decision not to give a written
note.
It la authoritatively stated that pressure
Is being brought to Induce Count Inouye
to return as Japan's representative at Ber
lin. If he consents the program for diplo
matic changes In Europe will bo altered.
Baron Tokahlra la, however, certain of ob
taining the Washington post. . s
Th Japanese government is considering
the increasing of its forces In Corea, in
view of the activity of the Corean revolu
tionists and, brigands. Many murders are
being committed In the outlying districts.
Twenty Coreans, membera of a pro-Japanese
organization, were murdered yesterday.

SPIRITUAL FORCE IS NECESSARY

Real rnrposr. -
"Making the Church a Spiritual Force"
waa the aubject of the, aermon by Rev.
Newman Hall Rurdlck, D. D., at Second
rresbyterlan church, Sunday morning. H
spoke front the text, Act, Xlx:2.
"The highest Ideal of a church 1 to Im
prove every opportunity within and with
out," said Dr. Rurdlck. "We are not pro
ducing uch reeults as should be produced
from so elaborate a mechanism as th
church. We are making wtxmovement of a
certain kind, but yet our progress Is piti
fully slow. Tho church Is a spiritual fore
of high potentiality, and we should be abl
to accomplish as much in this modern ago
as was accomplished In Paul's time by th
church at Ephesus. The essential work of
th church Is to redeem men from ln.
"There must be a prellmlnsry divine dis
content. We must not sit down content
with small achievements. There can be no
progress In any department of endeavor
without- discontent with the present, that
we may strive for the better. A church
with no potential force Is a dead church.
Nothing Is well enough done until it I
perfect. We must not rest In the Indolence
of self-satlsfactlon. Too many churchet
ar rustling with their dead past work Ilka
the dead winter leaves of the oak.,
Mnat Separate from World.
"Th church must separate frorn thai
world or Its spiritual force will be lost. A
small leak In the insular wlr will divert
the wholo current. So one member In tha
church can weaken the" whola church
through his sin. What greater evil cat.
there then befall a . church than th
Indifference and sin of many members. No
church can prosper that Is walking sldt
by side with sin In a worldly way, foi
there Is no discernible difference betweeg
the worldly church member and th mil
of the world.
"Each member of the church owes It to
all to take a deep spiritual Interest In th
church and go to God and Christ In pfayer,
Pray for definite things In a definite way,
Ask yourself what does your church most
need Just now? Pray for It, and If It ia
God's wtll it will be granted.
"A church may be filled with new energy
by tho earnest prayer of lta members.
There must be generated through prayer
a siiecial Interest In th spiritual foroe of
the church through the energy of each In
dividual. Dnty to Others,
"What definite thing have you dotie tf
let some person know you are Interested
In htm, particularly of Individuals out
side of the church? A church that Is not
spiritual Is a dead church. No church can
have a superhuman spiritual- power except
tho Individual of that church ha that
power. These things would make a church
of high potentiality. It Is for you that
have been enthused with this spiritual
force to exercise it for God's purposes. And
do It as God wills." '
Pi lor lo the sermon Mr. Burdlck deliv
ered a brief address to tho children of th
church on the "Power of a Sunbeam."
The application was to Impress upon tho
children's minds that tliey cannot always
tell why God wants them, to do pertain
thing and ruts them In certain places
where they can best accomplish HI will In
His own way.
