Objection to some of the rulings of tho

basis of the appeal, but tho higher court
affirms tho lower court In an opinion
willttn by Justice Fawcctt to which
Justice Hamer dissents.
' Patrick's) I'nrt llrouprht ObI,
In tho dissenting opinion Justice Hamer
refers to tho appearance of Senator
"William Pntrlck In the caso as assisting
tho county attorney In tha prosecution
and says:
"It Is difficult to see how McMartln had
a fair trial because Mr. Patrick had a
private Interest to sustain by securing
McMnrtln's conviction becuusc he Wanted
to sco tho enforcement of the amendment
to tho law of which ho was the author
which provided that no license for a
saloon should bo granted within two and
one-half miles of any United States
military post."
I'Me-nqllar Gold lMeoo.
One point in' the evidence vhlch was
admitted and to which objection was
made and that was the uct of McMartln
after tho county attorney hud refused his
offer of 1$J0 u month for protection of
throwing a 3 gold piece on the table with
tho reaucst that Jicgley take a drink or
u cjgar on him. lie then walked out of
tho office leaving the money on tho table.
An attempt was made to allow that this
ITold blece, which was Introduced In evi

the lower court held otherwise.

BUILD UP YOUR KIDNEYS
AVeak kidneys are the heritage of thou
sands of Americans. They are the cause
of the housewife's backache pains when
she rises from the scrubbing board, and
the husband's rheumatic agony when he
bends down to his work. They are also
the cause, whon thoso early symptoms
Ate neglected, which leads to permanent
kidney disablement, dropsy and Brlght's
disease. Yet few people take tho trouble
to look after their kidneys. They busy
themselves In relieving the rheumatism
and' allaying the backache pains, whin all
the while- the kidneys are Htniggllng at
their task, ' getting weaker and weaker
and becoming hopelessly incapable of

J. W. Crumpackor Is making tho ar

Mrs. Dodge will ln the house guest of
Mrs. Arthur Crittenden Smith during her
fctay In Omaha.

That women aro more easily Influenced
on political questions than men, und that
tho suffrage in the hands of women
would tend to demoralize politics, is tho
assertion pf Mrs. J. AV. Crumpacker,
representative of Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge,
who is to speak in Omaha Tuesday for
the antl-suffraglsts.
"Wo have been acbuscd by unfair news
papers with having llned-up with the
brewers," sold Mrs. Crumpacker, talking
to city officials Saturday. "Wc are ab
solutely guiltless of this charge. AVo
have never requested a campaign contri
bution from a brewer and have received
no offers of such contributions.
"If this charge is to be made, it should
be laid at the, door of tho ctiua'l-suffrage
advocates, for it is a well known fact
that in cities and counties in California,
long dry under tho vote of men only, a
wet regime followed the granting of tho
ballot to women.
"Women will not purify politics, but
giving them the ballot will, in my opin
ion, increase the corrupt vote and minim-
Izo the good vote, 'for wc realize tho do
plorablo fact that thcro are a largo nuirt
ber of corrupt women In every city, and
theso women, their personal Interests at
stake, will Votu as the police machlno
orders them to vote."
Mrs. Crumpacker said, being the daugh
ter of "a politician and tho sister of a
politlclan,"jho know what she was
talking about wlicn she sold women
would be easily Influenced by corrupt
politicians.
"In my opinion the clectorato of this
country should bo restricted Instead of
expanded," said Mrs. Crumpacker.
"Thero aro already too many voters 'not
qualified to vote enjoying tho privilege
of suffrage.
"The anti-suffrage association, organ
ized two years ago, has an enrollment
of 19,000 women, all of voting age. Iii
Cleveland atone, wheic Mrs. Thomas
Preston Is president of the organization,
8,000 women have allied themselves wlUi
the antl-suffrago movement.
"Our chief argument, of course. Is that
iruiio Urana an
suffrago will tend to demoralise home
llfo, and will remove tho wuinutt from
her proper Bphcre. Society women will
not Interest themselves In exercising their
right of suffrage after they have secured
It. Thoy will not rub elbows with tho
corrupt element of tho cities.
"AVorklng girls, wo can prove, will not
bo benefited In any manner by giving
women tha ballot. On tho contrary, thoy
will bo hurt by the extension of tho fran
chise. AVo stand ready to answer satis
factorlly every argument advanced In
favor of equal suffrage.
"In states whore women have had the
suffrago for many years conditions havo
In no wlso improved, but onUlio contrary
seem to havo even grown worse, which
proves that women will not clean politics
If given the ballot.''
AVhllo In Omaha Mrs. Crumpacker Is
living at 1909 Capitol avenue. Her tele
phono number Is Douglas 2083. She Is
working among wage-earners and poli
ticians, seeking to convert them to the
nntl-suffrage movement.
