One Pastor's Motorcycle Trips
to Be Cashed Into New Church
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN. Neb., Dec. 12. (Special.)
That Ex-Oovernor Chester H. Aldrlch
will be a candidate for the republican
nomination for the United Statei senate
was made a fact yesterday when Just be
fore Secretary of State Pool closed his of
fice for the day Kx-Oovernor Aldrlch
filed for a place on the primary ballot.
Governor Aldrich served In the memor
able state senate of 1907 and In 1910 was
elected Kovernor of the state, serving the
1911-12 term, but was defeated for a sec
ond term by the present governor.
In a statement filed With the secretary
of state Ex-Governor Aldrlch calls atten
tion to the fact that he signed the pres
ent Initiative and referdum act as gover
nor, which ives the people a chance to
vote upon the liquor question and while
being for a dry state If elected, will abide
by the vote of the people on the questlm.
For rotectlve Tariff.
He favors strongly a protective tariff
for American, Industries, charging that
the present democratic tariff favors the
south at the expense of the agricultural
states of the north. He does not believe
in militarism, but does not believe tlj's
government should drift along trusting to
good luck and the good will of other na
tions to keep us out of ti fjble.
He believes In a sufficient degree of
preparedness Which would place the
United States in a position to protect It
self If necessary. He believes in A mer
chant marine that will meet with, popular
favor.
He charges the present dcmocratlo na
tional administration with being the most
extravagent of any administration In the
history of the government and eays that
notwithstanding the democratic plat
form of the last campaign, denounced the
republican party for Its profligate waste
of the people's money, the present admin
istration has now already exceeded the
republican expenditures by over $200,000,
OuO per annum.
. Rivers aad Harbors Graft.
Ho i charges graft In the appropriation
of the present congress of over $fiO,00O,O0O
fri- river and harbor Improvement, two
l''Ms of which was never used for tlS
purpose It wae voted for and would have
'hut sum expended In bringing the acres
if the agricultural west Into the tllable
i- 'r.in. He believes In rural credits, an
r.'nme tax upon the rich and not upon
i ... .'Mje classes as now In force, and
I'm 'the handling of the Mexican sltua-
- Murder from Its Inception.
cal's attention In his statement that
' wrs 'ho author of the Aldrlch freight
rv reduction bill, prepared the original
"- ft of the railway commission law and
rsr's'rd In drawing the pure food law
and the primary election law and as
governor of the state vetoedmuch undesir
able and vicious legislation.
Relation of the motorcycle to religion
may seem a phrase rather far fetched,
but members of Parkvate Presbyterian
church do not think so. They are to re
ceive the first money for a new church
edifice, which they decided to build only
last week from the efforts of their pas
tor. Rev. R. V. Taylor, Just because
he rides a motorcycle and Is In fact a
motorcycle "bug."
Plnce the "Billy" Sunday revival meet
ings, the Influx of members Into the Park
vale organisation has been so steady and
the demands of the territory west and
southwest of Hanscom park, which the
church, now located at Thirty-first and
Oold streets, serves, have appeared so
Insistent that members decided the pres
ent structure Inadequate.
The ladles' Guild assumed a generous
share of the Indebtedness and the pastor
was prevailed upon to assist them In se
curing the nest egg out of which the
building fund Is to grow.
rr. Taylor, who has served In Ne
braska for over ten years at Te
kamah and Osceola, has traveled by
motorcvrle over the aailra northwest
during his vacations. There Is scarcely
a crossroads town he has not visited In
his 25,0110 miles of Journeylntts. He started
when one had to push the power wheel
oftener than be carried by It and now
It Is said that his speedometer frequently
registers at the fifty-mile clip. His ob
sevatlons, Illustrated by pho'.ogiapha he
has taken will be shown next Thursday
night, December 16 at the Young Women's
Christian association auditorium for tho
benefit of the foundation fund of tho
new church. !
Parkvale Is the first church soc.ely
in Omaha since the Sunday meetings to !
make public Its decision to build. A lo- j
ration committee Is at work and the !
hope Is that eventually a fine 123.0m) I
structure may be erected.

Root Island .Track s
Clear of Wreckage
r ., !
HKSHL1 R, Neb.. Dec. 18. (Special Tel
egram.) The track was cleared of the
wreckage of Rock Island train No. 305 at
an early hour this morning. The bag
gage and express car and contents were
burned nothing being saved Tout a dog,
the registered mall and two express pack
arcs. There were but eight pamengers tn the
smoker when the accident happened and
about fifteen in the chair car, an un
usually light list. There was no specie
on the train and the express and bag
gape was not so heavy aa usual.
The officers point to the fact that the
ruling will hit the state officers Just as
It does the clerks.
This Is along about the same line as
the act of a certain democratic state of
ficial who It is rumored at the state house
docked his stenographer one-half day's
pay because when she went home to
spend Thanksgiving she failed to return
until noon the next day. There Is no
record to show that he docked himself
for the days he has been absent from his
offlca on his own pleasure bent.

was the plight of some of the Belle
vue college freshman girls who at
tended the party given for them by
their class sponsor Prof. E. L. Puis,
at his studio In the Metropolitan
tulldlng, for the sophomores had
stolen their footwear.
While the freshmen were taking
their beauty naps, the wily sopho
mores stole Into their rooms and ex
tracted from the closets one of each
pair of shoes. The freshmen, how
ever, refused to have their evening
spoiled and blossomed forth in dainty
r.arty gowns bore a motley array of
footwear. One wore walking boots,
another wore street shoes, and one
brave lass wore one bronze boot with
one satin pump.
The freshmen boys fared still worse
for their heartless tormentors stole their
best suits and left only their old onea.
In fact the sophomores duped them
Into stealing their own clothes. One
wretch asked a freshman to carry a
suitcase full of laundry down to tha
village, and the unsuspecting underclass
man carried his own clothes to the sopho
more's confederate, who locked tham up.
Despite these vicissitudes the freshmen
reached Omaha safely and spent a
glorious evening at the studio. As a
climax of the entertainment Prof.' Puis'
colleagues at the Omaha conservatory,
Mr. Brill, violinist; Mr. O'Neill, soloist.
and Mrs,. Wagner rendered several highly
appreciated numbers.

number, have been eoixunltted from

Thingt That Proipmctlp
Buildmf Should Know
The man who contracts to build
without a definite knowledge
of Final Cost, is a speculator
If you hive $50,000 or $3,000 to put into the construction of a
building and are figuring your returns on either of these amounts
you should know positively that the final cost sheet will
show $50,000 or $3,000, and not $50,1 OQ'or $3,500.
Such advice would sound Strang wer It not gen
erally known, by those who have had experience, that
a large percentage of buildings do greatly exceed the
estimated construction ooat.
In a recent lasue of a prominent Hotel mag&slnb
there appeared an article on guaranteeing Construc
tion Cost from which wo extract the following:
"A comprehensive inwatlKation of Com
menial buildings by a lending tnwurauce
company developed the fact that 00 per
rent of them exceeded, tn final cost, the
original estimate, of the architect.
"The excess cost averaged 83 per cent.
"The direct result wAs Impairment of
the Investment tn most cases and abso
lute failure of the Investment In many
Instances." '
This same article also tells of the Minneapolis
Hotel man the owner of the Hotel K&dlson.
"Mr. Kmse paid 42 cents per cubic
foot for his building, which should have
been built for 80 cents per ruble foot."
Mr. Kruse, who la a lawyer as well as a large
property owner, says that the methods of architec
ture and construction which are in common practice
are all wrong; and tbe recent action of the foremost
Architects In the country show conclusively that they,
too, recognize the faults of older day building meth
ods and are exerting efforts to meet the situation
and provide a remedy.
This brings us bark to our main question How
are you to receive absolut assurance of a satlsfac
tory building and at the same time know that It will
be delivered at the price you are figuring your re
turns on?
Our Answer Is "Dy securing the services of all of
the professions and trades, who will have a part In the
erection of your building while tbe plans are being
drawn and in this awy secure advice and co-operation
of building engineers and building material experts
In the making of the plans as well as In tho actual
construction of the building Itself.
We repeat "secure the services of these men and
professions before you start your plans,"
You will ask how can such a thing possibly be
done; where so . many, independent professions and
trades are concerned?
Our answer 1st
Ing Organisation."
'Hy means of the Modern Dulld-
Realizing that Omaha and the Middle West are
today facing a great and growing demand for build
ing service; and realising too, that prospective build
ing owners are all anxious to secure full value for

ities are the result of wide and practical experience
as well as of training some specialize In residence
architecture, others in commercial buildings and In
schools, churches and other public buildings; so that

Individual tastes and requirements, .
As our architects work out your plans, detail by
detail, they have the constant assistance and advice
of our Construction' Engineers, who will handle the
actual performance of the building operation i as
well as the constant assistance of men In tbe purchas
ing department, who are continually In contact with
the cost, effliieQcy and quality of Building Materials.
And last and of vital Importance, Is the fart (hat
Our Modern Building Organization is backed up bj
the kind of flnnrlal responsibility which menus
not only an ncktiovrfcdKitu'U of obligation, but tire
ability to fulfil this obligation In a highly satisfactory
manner. '
If you expovt to build a home, a store, a rhurrh, a school or public building or any other kind of building
during 10'fl, Now is th tune to start your plans and get your figures.
