LINCOLN, April II. (Special.) Sixty
nine days of the session of this incompe
tent legislature have passed, und If any
bill lias been enacted into law In which
the stute Is Interested or cares anything
about the records do not disclose It.
Those who have been watching the an
tics of this nondescript collection of re
pUDllcans, democrats, bull moosers and
whatnots are laughing over thlg para-
Wo promise the faithful performance of
the anti-lobby law to tho end that such
law shall no longer bo a dead letter upon
tho statute book.
If ever a legislation invited a lobby
and encouraged a lobby this thirty-third
session has. Tho democratic house started
out by resolutlng thai no lobbyist must
eomo near. Of course this wus merely an
invitation for tho representatives of spe
cial Interests to call, and they called.
Wcn there was barely room left In the
house for the members another resolu
tion wus parsed to the effect that no lob
byist could stand behind tho ratling In
the lobby of tho house. After this vir
tuous performance the chief clerk was In
structed to present to tho sergeant-at-arms
a list of all lobbyists so he could
keep them out.
It wus pointed out to tho members that
Nebraska hail an anti-lobby law which
if enforced would free them from t!o
lobby, but there wos not a reformer, fake
or otherwise, who voted for the various
resolutions who had the nerve to drag a
lobbyist before the bw of the house to
prosecute him.
Kven when a lobbyist smashed the tar
out of one of the members in the house
chamber these law makers put over an
attempt to punish him until the next
Ftsnlon, when It is very probable a nevi
bunch will compose tho house. That's
how the democrat: majority In the house
rut life into tho anti-lobby law.
Charters and Home Rule.
Another plank tn the democratic ut
form reads this way:
"We favor the adoption of a proposed
constitutional amendmont Riving to cities
of more than 5.00 population the privilege
of framing their own charters consistent
with tho constitution and and laws of
the state."
At the first opportunity the representa
tives of the democratic party repudiated
this pledge and even went further than
that, in that they took from Omaha and
from the control of the citizens. Its great
est munVclpal Investment, the water
plant. This was done by the democratic
house at a time when Omaha's represen
tatives recently elected, were drafting a
ohartcr under this constitutional amend
ment. 1 Autl-Loit IlnllliiK Clause,
Another pledge these representative
democrats made to tho people of Ne
braska In order to get Into office reads
this way:
"We favor tho passage of a law having
for Its purpose the abolition of vote trad
ing, commonly called log rolling in the
legislature."
The people had u right to believe that
If a democratic legislature were elected
tho memberr. would do no "log rolling."
The bill was Introduced und duly passed
ly the houHe since which time democratic
members have been more than busy
trading, votes on bills. In fact the log
rolling thl session has .been such Unit
this kind of work by other legislatures
pal-i Into Insignificance.
StoeU YurilM Protected.
Another pledge Is this:
We commend tho last democratic legis
lature, which passed tho OHIs' Stock
Yards' bill, and we promise such fur
ther regulations of stock yards as the
public welfare may require.
This promise could certainly bo consid
ered by the public at least, as notice that
demacraU elected to the legislature
would not be tools of the stock .yards.

Sterilization Bill
Vetoed by Morehead
(From u Staff Correspondent )
LINCOLN, April 11. (Wpeclal.) Gov
ernor Morehead sent In his first veto thU
afternoon, being 8. F. 132, by Heaaty of
Jefferson, providing for tho sterilization
of criminals, Reasons for the veto arts
that "the act Is so far-reaching in IU
:onsequence and so Intimately associated
with social life of mankind that legisla
tive aotlon should not be taken' thought
lessly or hurriedly. At best It is only an
experiment and seems more In keeping
with the pagan age than with the teach
ings of Christianity. -Man Is more han
tn animal.
"There Is no urgent demand for ine
passage of this kind of legislation.
Mutilation of the human body either ?.s u
Preventive or punishment is drastic in
the extreme and thcer la grave doubt In
my mind If it does not violate section 9
mlola 1 of the bill of rights, which pro
hibits cruel and unusual punishment."

Cabinet Prepares to Bring Suit in
Supreme Court,

Therefore EllKlble to

TOKIO, April H. The Japanese cabinet
reported to the emperor today that Presi
dent Woodrow Wilson's decision not to
Interfere with the Callfornlan land owner
situation, makes It necessary for Japan
to present a test case before the supreme
court of the United States, proving that '
Japanese nro not of Mongolian origin
and therefore entitled to citizenship In
the United States.
Tho members of the Toklo Chamber of
Commerce are expressing high apprecia
tion of a message from the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce announcing that
the two bodies will combine forces In
opposing tho land bill pending tn the
California legislature which would pre
vent aliens from owning property.
Many organizations here continue con
ferences on the situation. A Joint meet
ing of tho American and Japanese peace
societies has been arranged for today
and tomorrow for the purpose of pre
senting their views. The Japan-American
society, whose leadership is composed en
tirely of Japanese and many other bodies,
are organizing In opposition to the bill.
WASHINGTON. April 11. The general
opinion in official circles Is the adminis
tration wolld welcome a test In the su
preme court In the question of eligibility
of Japanese to naturalization. So far, all
dectslons of record, In western courts,
hayo held that the Japanese were not
eligible to naturalization, not being such
whlto persons nor persons of African
descent as arc mentioned In naturaliza
tion laws as being alone eligible to ad
mission to citizenship. The issue has
never been tested before the supreme
court of the United States In a direct
form.
The Japanese contend they are Malayan
and Aryan In lineage and consequenttly
may fairly claim to be classified ethno
loglcally as the white persons described
In the naturalization act. The Importance
of determination of tho question and Its
relationship to the alien land legislation
now pending, lies In the fact that, as that
act now stands before the legislature
any alien entitled to apply for naturaliza
tion may own and lease land tn the state,
no that a decision favorable to the Jap
anese contention would completely de
feat tho purpose of tho legislation so far
as it might be aimed at the Japanese.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., April 14. A pro
test direct from Japan against an alien
land bill that would affect the rights of
Japanese subjects In California was read
today In the state senate. It was a cable
gram signed by the Associated News
papers of Osaka and read as follows:
"Japanese pay profoundest respect
noble America. Regret repeated appear
ances antl-Japa'neso bills your congrens.
We hope earnestly not pass any bill
which destroy good feeling between
Amerka Japan."
No comment was made from the floor
and tho message was sent to be printed In
the Journal.

BRUSSELS, April ll.-Tho vast politi
cal strike planned by the Helgtan social
ist trade unions began at dawn today.
The first workmen to take part In the
movement were the night' shifts of the
mines and mills throughout the country.
They left the various plants In charge
of a few caretakers, named by the social
ist leaders to keep the property from de
teriorating. At least 150,000 men laid dowr. their
tools during the morning. There were
numerous exceptions to the general walk
out tn many districts, however. The
strike Is complete In such places as the
mining districts, but is scarcely discerni
ble In some localities.
In Rrusscls. Itself, the strike must be
looked for in order to be found. Prob
ably one-fourth of the workmen engaged
in the suburban factories did not report
for work today. The socialist committee
here estimated at 11 o'clock that 20,000
men had struck In the capital.
Reports from tho provinces tell of com
plete or nearly complete stoppage of
work at Liege, Charlol, Mons, La Lou
vie re and smaller cities. At Mons there
are 40,000 strikers', and at La Louvlere
28,030, most of them belonging to the
metal, carriage, building and tobacco
trades.
At the great seatiort of Antwerp the
strike did not appear until late In the
day, and only affected a part of the dock
laborers.

Sundry Civil Bill
With Union Labor
Clause Eeintroduced
WASHINGTON. April 14. Providing
that a ocrtain $300,000 of Its total shall
not be usei for Sherman law prosecutions
of farmers' co-operative organizations or
labor unions, the sundry civil appropria
tion bill was reintroduced today on the.
floor of the house. Former President
Taft vetoed the bill In the last hours
of his office because of that provision.
age of tho bill in the same form as Mr.
Taft vetoed it.
President Wilson does not favor at
taching general legislation to appropria
tion bills, but he does not regard the
particular provision to which objection
was made as one that establishes & rule
of future law with respect to labor unions
or farmers' organlzattns.
Ho looks on If as did many members of
congress, as a provision effective only
during the life of the bill and not as af
fecting substantive law.
The whole question of whether labor
unions may be proseouted for operations
alleged to be In restraint of trade, un
der the Sherman law, Is likely to be taken
up when a revision of the anti-trust law
Is formally recommended by the presi
dent, and until the point is definitely de
termined, It Is said that Mr. Wilson does
not believe such a provision could be re
garded as class legislation.
Tho plan is to pass the bill and also the
Indian appropriation bill, which failed of
passage In the closing hours of the last
congress, and which has been reintro
duced by a special rule to expedite pass
age. Dr, Friedmann Treats

ROM 13, April 14. In tho middle of tha
day tha pope had a short sleep almost
uninterrupted by coughing. His tempera
ture was slightly abovo OS degrees, his
pulso fc& and his respiration S3.
The bulletin Issued by tho papal phy-t
slclans early today reads:
"Ills hollntys passed a tranquil night.
Bronchial symptoms arc reassuring. Tern-
pecaturo V). General condition is good.
"MARCHIAFAVA,
"AMICI."
The Improvement n considered most
encouraging. Last night was the seventh
since the last rclapsd suffered by tho
pope, and the gravest anxiety has been I
caused by his Increasing Weakness and
malnutrition.
It now appears that tho excess ol
coughing suffered last night greatly re
lieved the pontiff and enabled him to ob
tain a long and restful sleep.
Rome had been thrown into depression
at the announcement of this attack and
many though tho popo had reached the
last extremity until Curdlnal Merry Del
Val reassured them.
During tho night tho pope's tempera
ture gradually decreased until It went
down to 08 degrees.
Prof. Kttoro Marchiafava again sub
mitted the pontiff to a long and minute
examination today. Ho gave special at
tention to the condition of tho heart and

Condition Is Favorable.
1:15 p. m. Prof. Uttore Marchiafava, on
leaving the pope's npurtment after ex
amining him, said:
"I now trust that tho pope's Illness
will havo a fuvorablu solution It It Is
possible to Induca tho patient to tako
proper care of himself."
While the bulletin Issued by tho pope's
physicians this morning Is optimistic, It
leaves many Incredulous that tho patient
really has hail a turn for tho better
Undoubtedly, however, there was a no
ticeable amelioration In tho pope's con
dition during the night.
Although the popo rested quietly dur

somewhat concerned about his Increasing
weakness. His heart, .however, showed
no symptoms of valvular lesion this
