again. Singers of I Ha school have organized
to promote a musical1 organization to repre

It has been five years; ...since Nebraska
was represented by a recognised glee club.
In the years since then 'there has been
Plenty of fine talent In the school, but no
body could be found who was willing to
take up the tank of perfecting an organisa
tion that should be known as the Nebraska
Glee club.
In 1903 the club was poorly managed and
several men In the university lost money
on It. Because of this fallur other people
have refused to venture their support for a
new club until now.
The promote of the new club hav the
entire support of Chancellor Avery and th
university faculty and the organization will
be the pfficlal representative of Nebraska
university.
A committee has been appointed to draw
up plans for th -management of the club'
and to suggest a system for training the
new singers eaoh fall.' LJtrte will be done

GOSSIP AMONG DEMOIRAIS
Some of Them Think Bryan is Tired
of Oregon Tlon.
WOULD NOT WEEP IF LAW FELL
Aanbltlna of 0vrarr Kkallnbrgr
Said tT Them . to Have Rrea
RenJly Toward Seat In
th Senate.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Feb. 20(Speclal.)-Accordlng
to democratic authority, it Is Mr. Bryan's
"Oregon Short line" to th senate that's
burtlng a good many of th democrats,
especially Mr. Bryan and Governor Fhal
lenberger. If it were not for that law Governor
Shallenberger would hav long ago an
nounced himself as a candidate for re-election,
fought for th Job and then, If suc
cessful, tried for th senate before th leg
islature If democratic. -
His slat would hav been F. W. Brown
of Lincoln for lieutenant governor, provid
ing he could secure the consent pf th for
mer mayor of Lincoln to get Into th com
vlnatlon. Then, with friends of Brown, he
could hav worked with a democratic leg
islature his own election to ttje senate and
Brown would be' governor.
If It wer not for hi Oregon plan- of
selecting senators Mr. Bryan could go be
fore a democratic legislature without mj
barraeament and without having to run tht-
cltanc of another defeat at a popular elec
tion. So Governor Bhallenberger is anxious to
get rid of the Oregon plan, and ther la
Uttle doubt but what Mr. Bryan Is not un
willing. Many democrats are talking of a
contemplated attack on the law by th re
publicans. It has been rumored around the
state house, but the rumors an come from
drrhocratla sources. In fact, Edgar Howard
brought the message to Lincoln that ha
knew for a certainty that the republicans
Intended to Start the suit.
Moral Support Likely.
So If any one due startTsuuh a suit he
will hav the Indorsement of several would
be candidates for th senate before a demo
cratic legislature, though the Indorsement
and encouragement will not be given pub
licly. The enactment of the Oregon plan of
Voting on United States senators at the
general election was at the earnest solicita
tion of Mr, Bryan, and In the days when
the bill waa pending the democrats hoped
that at th general election ther would
be several republican candidates and only
one democratic candidate. This is evidenced
by the fact that Arthur Mullen and other
advisers of the governor and th adminis
tration hold that th primary law expressly
exempts th nomination of senators at the
coming primary. Incidentally, the attorney
general holds the same day, but Secretary
ot State Junkln accepted the filing of C. O.
Whedon for the republican nomination, so
there will be candidates nominated at tho
primary unless the matter is taken into
the courts.
Such a mova would materially 'old the
governor In his ambitions .and It would
also sive Mr. Bryan some embarrassment.
However. Governor bhallenberger haa
other things to worry him at this Um.
That county option program promulgated
by Mr.. Bryan gives all the governor's ap
pointee the creep. They 'feel 'that th
presidential candidate' will not lay down
this time, but will Insist that soma demo
crat must run for governor- on his plat
form. The governor so far has failed to get on
the platform and his friends realize that
he will be the on to lose vote should
J. E. Miller or G. W. Berg r Victor
Wilson get Into the running on the county
option platform. An Omaha attorney who
ke-ps vell posted on politic said if Bryan
wero to select a candidate to run on hi
platform th candidate would defeat both
Dohlmaiv and Shallunbergnr at th pri
mal y. Others believe It . would mean th
nomination of Pahlman. . . , .

DR. IDCICS 0. BAIRD RESIGNS
Beoomci Secretary of Western Di
vision Missionary Board.
WILL LEAVE OMAHA APRIL FIRST
hl-o will Thereafter Be Head
jaartera of the Retiring; Pastor
of St. Mary's Arena Con
sMeaatlonal Ctaarch.
Dr. Lucius O. Balrd, D. D., at the con
clusion of the morning services at St.
Mary's Avenue Congregational church,
read a letter tendering his resignation as
pastor of that church, which position he
has occupied for lour and a half years.
Dr. Balrd expressed the deepest regret
at the severance of the pleasant pastoral
relations that hav existed between th
church and himself, but stated that In an
unlokrd providence of God he had been
chosen secretary of the American Mission
ary assocaltion Western Division of th
Congregational church, with heedquarter
In Chicago, and he had accepted the ap
pointment. He asked further that hi resig
nation of St. Mary's church pastorate
should become effective April 1.
A special meeting of the church board
and congregation will be held Wednesday
evening to act upon the resignation.
In" his letter he gave a short review of
his ministry. In which he showed that the
church Indebtedness hid been materially
reduced and the system of benevolences
had been brought to much greater perfec
tion. He stated further, that though his
hew work would take him away from the
active work of St. Mary's church, yet he
would be In constant touch with it.
Pioneering Still Necessary.
The subject of Dr. Balrd s sermon wa
"Pioneering for God." He spoke from the
text, Genesis vll; 2, Illustrating God's com
mand to Abraham to leave his own country
and go Into tho land of Canaan, where h
snouia Decome tne rounder or a great na
tion, where his name would become great
and where he should become a great bless
lng.
"ThTe were many classes of pioneers,"
said he, "territorial, Intellectual and relig
ious and their motives had not always
been rightly construed. Th territorial pion
eer aw soften characterized as a rolling
stone; the intellectual as crratlci-and the
religious pioneer as a heretic. Dissatisfac
tion with the unprofitable past In th be
ginning of the enlevement of hope. The
danger of the church Is its unvarying ad
herence to Its conventional foundations,
Greatness Is. after all, but a by product
of human achievement. He who starts out
to achieve greatness will soon find him
self sidetracked. The greatness of man Is
the fear ot God. v
"Tho disciples were always striving to do
great things for ChrlBt, losing sight of the
llttlo things. The higher tb) work we
have to do, thef urther off is the ultimate
reward.
Get out of the old gutter; get away
from the old Indifference and get Into
God's way of doing things for him. Become
a pioneer in God's work; be thou a bless
tng."
