announced their plans already. Tendera for
these iKHues will be awaited with great
Interest to Indicate the course of the In

bearing on thla situation la the borrowing

TALKS TO STUDENTS
Minnesota rjealores A 1-
-d Tendency Toward a
-New Federalism.
WNDItORQ. Kan., April 19. Governor
John A. Johnson nf Minnesota waa the
guest Saturday afternoon and night of
Bethany college. In the afternoon he was
master of ceremonies at the college track
meet, and last evening ha delivered a
speech to a large crowd assembled In the
college auditorium. He was enthusiasti
cally received. ,
"Today." he said, "there are those who
for the purpoee of expedlfncy favor a new
federalism In order that the cdiintry make
a more prominent place among the nations
of the world. I say that If we stick to the
traditions of 177S the world will respect
this nation. When we took the Hawaiian
and riilllpplne Islands we were told that
those people were not fit for self-givern-ment.
Thst has been the cry for years
and years, not because H is true, but be
cause those who are In power want more
power. I do not speak of any officer or
any particular person, but we have appar
ently come to a time when the constitution
Is not good enough. The Immortal Washing
ton, In referring to the constitution, said
that It could be changed from time to time
if the people wished It, hut I say that so
long as It is not changed b' the people It
should be observed as It stands. Within
the last six months a United States mar
aha! laid violent hands upon the attorney
general of my state and said that ho must
go into his court for doing that which the
legislature had commanded him to do? and
the federal court approved the marshal's
action. ,1 saj( that such a proceeding 1 not
right, it 1 a reflection of the policy of
the centralization of power that takes from
you and me our state's rights."
In an Interview Governor Johnson said:
"What Mr. Bryan says or does will make
no difference and cause no change in my1
plana. I am not seeking the nomination for
president and I might say I don't care
whether or 'not I get It. As I have often
reiterated, I will b? a candidate in cane tho
people decide 'that I am the most available
candidate and can get the most votes.
"I have been told by some of Mr. Bryan's
friends that 1 would be a stronger candi
date than he. I am Inclined to dOubt that."'
In addition to delivering en address Gov
ernor Johnson was In charge of the Beth
any college field meet this afternoon. This
feature was arranged by personal friends
of the governor among the student as a
surprise for tho faculty.

PARIS. April 1.-Prince Helle de Sagan,
who arrived at Cherbourg and disembarked
early thla mornlng from the steamship St.
Paul, essayed to resume the secrecy with
which he unsuccessfully sought to carry
out his visit to the United States. Instead
of -coming direct toi Paris he left the
steamer tfaln at Everux, about sixty-five
mile from the city, after having requested
hi fellow passenger not to mention his
plan. At Evereux he .resumed hla Journey
to Pari by automobfle..
The prince declined to grant an Interricw
to the newspaper men, who finally discov
ered him, and refused to answer questions
relative to the statement published by the
Crl de Paris that he and Madame Anna
Gould already were married.
The passengers on the 1 steamer, with
whom the prince freely Intermingled during
the voyage, say that he told them that he
regretted he could not entertain them in
Paris, as he expected soon to leave that
city, going probably to Italy. Some of the
passenger added that the prince did not
act like a married or engaged man, being
evoted to a young English girl throughout
the voyage. I '
The French newspapers generally. Ignore
the De Sagan-Gould affair, except where
they ridicule the prince on account of his
reported Interviews and his conduct in the
Ifnlted States, and express the hope that
"the International farce" will soon be
ended. . ,

PUBLICITY BILL IS URGED
National Organisation Addresses an
Open Letter to Congress.
ASKED TO AVOID COMPLICATIONS
Considered Better to Press Simple
Measare Over Which There I
No Party Strife Than ta
Fall a Last Tear.
WASHINGTON. April 19. Congress is
urged to action on legislation requiring the
publicity of campaign funds in a petition
which will be presented to the senate to
morrow by Senator Culberson of Texas
and to the house of representatives' by
Representative McCall of Massachusetts.
The petition is signvd by I committee of
the national publicity organisation and Is
dceoinparHcd by letters from numerous
members of the organization. The action
was decided upon at a meeting held Thurs
day at the residence of Perry Belmont, the
president of the organisation. The peti
tion reads:
The notional publicity bill organization
respectfully urges congress to enact at tin
present session a suitable law for the pub
licity, both before and after election, of
campaign contributions made to national
committers to be used In Influencing the
approaching election of November 3, lifDt.
Tho orgtintxatlon Is constrained to make
this aprx'nl at this time without urging con
gressional legislation requiring punllclty
contributions made to state committees or
other committees operating only in . :ne
state. The association has limited the scope
ot Its efforts to scouring publicity of con
tributions made to national committee and
congressional committees formed to In
fluence , In more than one state elections
where member of the national house of
representatives are to be chosen, Rnd to
promote by all appropriate means state
ileRlslaUon designed to accomplish In every
state the sunie purpose of publicity.
It is thought that the wisest method of
preventing election corruption through
money contribution would not tie through
national laws alone, nor through state laws
alone, but through both methods, each co
operating and not conflicting with the other
and both making the best and most effec
tive system.
Doubt of Authority.
" This would secure harmonious co-operation
of both the national and state legis
latures, and would avoid any discussion of
troublesome constitutional questions. There
cannot lie any doubt of the power of con
gress ta do; what we propose, nor any
Uouht about the power ot the state to pro
xlde the additional regulations desired. An
act of congress carefully , farmed might
prove to bo a model law for the state to
allow.
Moreover it seem to this organisation
that at this late day in the present session
it .will be Impossible to accomplish the
passage by congress ot anything more than
a publicity law applicable to national com
mittees and congressional committees oper
ating jn more tnan one state. The differ
ences In the last congress between those
who sought to do this and those who sought
to do morf proved fatal to any legislation
whatever. It Is to aid in preventing another
m-h fatality that the association makes it
present earnest appeal.
The National, publicity Bill organisation
ia non-partisan and hope that the effort
to secure the beneficial laws so much
needed will not become ln'--)'vcrt In th con
troversies of 1 o Itlcal parties. But it Is Im
possible to overlook; th Ittn thai the pu
ent minority partv will Impose upon the
majority party the weishty responsibility
for tti failure of any legislation, if each
failure shall ensue. To avoid such' a de
plorable, political issue,' should not the
members of both parties unite In postponing
all propositions on which there may be a
sincere dlvlidon of sentiment and In pass
ing through congress without further delay
a hill upon which all cordially agree.
Accompanying this petition are . letters
from members of the Publicity organization
showing that their views are in accord with
those herein stated.

thousands of worshippers In 'imaha
churches In celebration of the East-r day,
typical of the new life. Birds fllttng
among the branches of the trees tried tp
outslng the vested choir by pouring forth
songs of Joy. Femininity tried to surpass
both, not In Joyous song notes, but In the
brilliancy of the artificial foliage that,
bedecked the thousands of Easter bonnets
that made their appearance yes eiday
morning and In the brightly colored gowns
that outshone even the most gorgeous hue
of nature herself.
It was an Ideal day for Easter. The
weather mixer might have practiced for
years without hitting on a combination
of balmy breeze and sunshine that wou'd
have served everj-1lurpose as well. ' The
sun rose In a sky unspotted by a single
cloud and by the time the church bells
began to summon the worshippers together
It was beaming down warmly on the green
lawns and trees. If It had not been for
the cooling breeze the day might have been
uncomfortably warm, but a It wa It was
neither loo "cool pir too warm. It Was
Just right. ,
The Weather Moat Inviting.
The Inviting weather probably had much
to do with drawing the large congrega

staying at home. In fact the day wa o
thoroughly In accord with the spirit of
Easter that few mortals of ordinary spirit
could withstand the temptation to Join the
throng of church goers. . '
Probably in no past year had the Omaha
Chu.-che made such elaborate plan for the
observance of the day. Music, of course,
had a large and Important place on every
vhurch program. Hallelujah choruses,
songs of exultation and Joy. hymns -of
peaceful triumph formed the principal
part of the service and supplemented
the sermons on topic of Easter.
While song tobk Important places In
the morning services, it was the principal
feature of the evening worship In most
of the churches. Cantata on resurrection
themes, Easter service specially composed
were given at a number of the churches.
Even where the regular form of the serv
ice wag maintained the Easter musle took

The knights, headed by the choir,
marched into the church with the pro

dal recessional music, Wagner' "March
of the Knights of the Holy Orail."
The special musical service was moat im
pressive In Its solemn eloquence. It
preached profound sermon from golden
text. It reared In every heart the Risen
Christ to a pinnacle of majestic love. It
carried the thought of every mind above
the intrinsic beauty and melody of mere

aa that Julius Caesar lived. The enly

Thoma. will say, ! will not believe until

ROME, AprH 19.-Art . Italian squadron,
under command of Admiral F. Orenet. will
set out tomorrow for the purpose of making
a demonstration In Turkish waters. Th
squadron comprises eleven warships and
Includes the l.ettleihlp Roglna Elena, com
manded by the duke of the Ahnnxl. Alto
gether the vessels will carry S.096 men and
their objective point will be Asia Minor,
iomo 700 miles irway. It ha been decided
If It Is deemed necessary, lso to pcculpy
a small Island pff that coast, but It is
hoped here that Turkey may see the error
of Us way and give full "satisfaction, ni
that more energetic measures may be
avoided. -
The difficulty between the two nation
arises out of the refusal of the Turkish
government to permit the Installation of
Italian postofflces In Turkish territory,
while at tho same time other nation have
established and are 'conducting postofflces
there without interference.
Considerable IrrltatVori ha been felt here
over th murder of an Italian missionary
In Tripoli and the peroutlon by the Otto
man authorities of natives who hav old
land to Italians, but the present action of
the Itullan government I based primarily
on the poatofflco. question. With regard to
this, however, the Turkish ambassador In
Rome has pointed out In an Interview that
his governmenfhas In no Instance granted
to the countries in question such a privilege,
although It has "tolerated" th postofflces
which they hav maintained. !
For years Jt lias been fell In government
Circles In Rome that Turttey ha been
taking advantage of the International situa
tion to act In a high-handed manner toward
Italians, showing but little respect for
Italian rights. This government, it 1 stated,
ha been Indulgent, not wishing to cause
complication which might endanger th
accord of th power with regard to th
Ottoman or the Balkan problem.
Climax , of Tronale. . i .
In addition," l.'icre has been much opposi
tion on the pan of Turkey to all peaceful
Italian Initiative In Tripoli and matter
reached a climax when Italy asked for per
mission to open, postofflces In Turkish terri
tory, where other powers already were
established, and, ,met with what Is con
slderod ty fhe administration her unjusti
fiable refusal, for besides being an acquired
right,, Italy consider that It 1 entitled to
claim It according to treaty between the
two countries granting It the privilege of
the mot favored nation.
Apparently Turkey came to the con
clusion that the Italian government would
never resort to extreme measure In view
Of the fact that the Macedonian problem
I pending, for the settlement of which
the accord of the power Is Indispensable
and It went ao far a to order detachments
of troops to guard the Italian poatofflee
and thus prevent the work from being
carried on.
To this provocation the Italian adminis
tration felt that it could only reply with
coerslve measures in order to protect the
dignity of Italy and safeguard Its right.
In Issuing order for a demonstration of
Italian warships In Turkish waters, Italy
desired clearly to show that It did hot
wish to take advantage of th situation
for the purpose of occupying any territory.
The demonstration will not occur off Trip
oil nor la It Intended to Influence the
Balkan problem by directing th fleet
toward Albania or Macedonia. The squad
ron will go direct to Asia Minor.
Great satisfaction Is felt her and It I
stated that all the power have approved
Italy's decision to take recpuise to fore.
If necessary, to protect Its interest, which.
Is an indication that they believe that Italy
has no Intention of permanent territorial
occupation.
