IP SCHOOLMASTERS' CLUBWASjN POLITICS Organization Might Be Made Very Efficient in Any Sort of Campaign. MEMBERSHIP WELL LOCZyft ' Strategic Positions Occupied by the Society Admirable SOME INTERESTING RECORDS Coincidences that Show What Might Possibly Happen. MEMBER ALWAYS . SUCCEEDS i trr Time One Runs for Office the Outsider is Left Far Behind In the Count of Votes. (From a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 2fl.-(Spcclal.)-Tho Schoolmasters' Club of Nebraska Is not in politics, if lamp post interviews with "prominent members" of tho club living In Lincoln as set forth In a Lin coln paper Is to bo believed, but the whole agitation over tho removal ot Dr. Thomas from the Kearney normal Is due to the "agitation of certain Omaha papers, who aro prone to look upon the Schoolmasters' club as a sort ot Lincoln organization." In an endeavor to show that the Schoolmasters' olub Is not a Lincoln or ganization and that It Is not In politics Lincoln members ot the club aro quoted as snylng that because so many of the club live In Lincoln is becauso of the geographical situation and the state university. How They Are Located. Tho records of tho Schoolmasters' club show that ot the 100 members, thirty-five live. In the capital city and its suburbs. The1 other members aro scattered over the state, and so scattered that were It tho days of the railroads In politics and the old convention system it would look suspiciously suspicious. Strangely, the Schoolmasters' club has represnntatlves lii all ot the thickly set tled counties and most ot tho larger towns. They aro so situated that if the club wanted to cut a figure In politics It could do so very successfully because of the geographical location of Its mem bership. Is thcro any political organiza tion of tho state or any politician who would not be In his political glory If he had a working representative In tho fol lowing counties, which havo nil tho way from one to four representatives of the Schoolmasters' club: Adams, Box Butte, BUtlcr. Buffalo. Burt, Cass, Colfnx, Clay, Custer, Dodge, Douglas. Dawes, plxonOage, Hall, Ham- ills, Nemaha; Otoo, Platte, Phelps; Reo" Willow, Richardson, Saunders, Seward, Saline, Stanton, Washington, Wayne, York and with headquarters in Lancas ter county with a working force ot thirty- five members. Effects on Primary, Jn 1908, the first year that state of ficers were nominated at a primary, tho Schoolmasters' club was represented by four out of the five candidates for state superintendent. Ode republican outsldo of the club had the sand to buck up agalhst .tho stone wall and has not been heard from slnoe. B. C. Bishop, a mem ber .of Uie club, 'landed the republican nomination and wan elected. In his se lection of a deputy he picked a member of the club, or at least his name now appears on the roster. In '1910, of the four candidates, Frank 8. Perduo was the only man who bucked against the line and he, too, went down to defeat. This was the year that ths club 'got behind J. W. Crabtreo after he had been deposed by the normal sohool board, and on a "sob" platform he was elected and a member ot the School masters' olub was kept as a deputy. In 1012 it was a direct fight between members of the Schoolmasters' club and the outsiders on the republican side, J. EX Dclxell represented the club with G. W. Whltehorn opposing him. On the demo pratlq tlckot E. E. Monroe tried conclu sions with two members of the club, R. V. Clark and John Speedle. In each case the anti-club candidate was badly distanced, but somehow the successful candidate did not remember his .unsuccessful com petitor In the primary when he was elected, and appoint him to a good office as had been done In former years. But he was not a member ot the Schoolmas ters' club, and that might be the reason. Why ft la Limited. A Lincoln member ot the club says that one reason why the club is limited to 100 members. Is because If It was not so It would be too much like the Stats Teach ers' association. In other words, a club of 100 members can be more easily handled than one with an unlimited number and the-little club of the select could manipulate matters as they wanted It anyhow. To show how successfully the club has worked In the teachers' or ganization, every president of that or ganization elected In the past halt a dozen yeaYs1 Is a memebr of the School masters' club, and still the club Is not In politics.

APPEAL TO EPISCOPAL BISHOPS nrqueat Ueachrs House of Uenntles nnd President Says "Why Don't They Leave Thin as Alonet" NEW YORK, Oct 2.-The convention of the World's Woman's Christian Tarn perance union" adopted a resolution yes terday requesting the house ot bishops of the Protestant Episcopal church to "consider ' the propriety" of using un fermented wine at the communion In plaoe of fermented wine, "which contains tho narcotlo 'poison alcohol." The -resolution was a substitute for one originally offered setting forth that fer mented wine "could not truly represent the blood of Christ." This phrsee was objected to by EngUsh delegates, who argued that It would an tagonize the Church of Englund. The English delegates also objected to an amendment declaring that "Jesus, com manded unfermented wine In the holy communion." The resolution came too late to be given attention by the house of bishops betoro adjournment. The objections were voiced by Miss Agnes E. Stack, honorary secretary ot the organization, who said that the bishop ot Lincoln told her the Church of England could not offer the sacra ment In unfermented wine and that the archbishop of Canterbury told her: "If you pass such a resolution I shall use my Influence to see that no member ot the Anglican church Joins our organi zation." The request of the Woman's Christian Temperance union reached the Episcopal convention Informally two hours before the time set for adjournment. Rev. Dr. Alexander, chairman ot the house of deputies, threw up his hands In a ges ture of dismay when he was told ot the request" "The good ladles might Just as well not have wasted their efforts," he ex claimed. "Why don't they leave these things alone? ot course we shall not act on it It la too late now.

A QurMtion of, Intelligence There have boeu a great many things said nnd written about the comparative superiority ot masculine and feminine minds. This is a profound question on which we do not wish to take sldoa, but there is one point ve would like to make and that Is that no mind, masculine or feminine, is truly ' Intelligent that is not thoroughly up with the times. And what does being up with) the times Imply? It Implies being conversant with all the various trends of human thought and Action; In ventions and discoveries, poli tical, religious aqd social movements, literary and artis tic productions and many others too numerous to mention. To these must be added one phase of human activity that Is sometimes overlooked by thoughtless persons much to their own disadvantage, and that is the wonderful manu facturing and commercial de velopment of the present day, The news of these fields of ac tivity Is found most concretely In the advertising columns of The Bee and other good news papers. No person can ne really Intelligent today without keeping himself or herself in formed by diligent -reading" of newspaper advertisements. J
