ATTORNEY GENERAL
RULES WHO MAY VOTE
Answers W. T. Thompson a8 to
Eight of Foreign Born, Not
Fully Naturalised. ;
RESURRECTS OLD FlNDINQ
, Krom a Staff Corrrapondent.l ;
Lincoln. Oct. 28. (Special.) A
construction of Article 7, Section 1
o fthe state constitution relative to
who will br entitled ot vote at the
coming election has been asked by W.
T." Thompson, chairman of the dry
federation, of Attorney General Reed,
who answers as follows: '-
"Every male person of the age of
21 years or upward, belonging to
eitheer of the following classes, who
shall hav resided in the state six
months, and in the county, precinct,
or ward, for the term provided by
law. shall be an elector.
"First Citiiens of the , United
St,te' , , . , .
"Second Persons of foreign birth
who shall have declared their inten
tion to become citiiens conformably
to the laws of the United States, on
the subject of naturalization, at Jeast
thirty dayt prior to an election," .
"You inquire:
" 'After the declaration of intention
of an alien to become a citizen of the
United States, evidenced by his first
papers, hat become dormant and void
under the federal statutes, does such
declaration still qualify an alien as
an elector of this stats under ourn
constitution ?'
"At the time the constitution of Ne
braska was proposed for adoption,
there were then residing within the
state many foreign-born citizens, and
a clear distinction was intended to
be made by the framers of the consti
tution between citizens of the state
and those who desired to become citi
iens, and they said, in as clear langu
age ai possible, that any person should
be an elector under the proposed con
stitution if he had declared his inten
tion to become a citizen, the differ
ence in distinction being that not
only citizens but those who intended
to' become citizens, should be per
mitted and allowed to vote..,
"That part of the constitution has
never been changed, and the federal
government has nevef claimed the
right to interfere with the power re
erved to the state, by restricting any
class from voting. While I might be
pleased to hold otherwise, if the con
stitution were different, 'yet; under tht
constitution, it is not even a debata
ble question. This department ad
heres and tees no occasion to change
or modify the opinion as expressed
by Assistant Attorney General Edger
ton, in the report and opinions of the
attorney general for 1913-1914."

CLEVELAND ABBE
DIES AT WASHINGTON
Father of Weather Bureau
Service Expires After ni
nes of About a Year.
MADE THE flEST FORECAST
Wathington, Oct. 28. Prof. Cleve
land Abbe, known at "the father of
the weather bureau," died here today
after an illness of a ear.
The present-day system of daily
weather forecasts, with which every
portion of the United States, how
ever remote, is now thoroughly famil
iar, it the outgrowth of a weather
prediction service which Cleveland
Abbe established locally in Cincinnati,
O., when he was the director of the
observatory there in 1869. The death
of thit famout meteorologist recalls
some interesting details of this early
history of weather forecasts.
The ton of a New York merchant,
and born December 3, 1838, Cleveland
Abbe became an instructor in mathe
matics and astronomy at the Uni
versity of Michigan in 1860, and dur
ing the civil war period he wat an
aide at Cambridge, Mass., to Dr. B.
A. Gould, then astronomer of the
United States coast survey. The
years 1865-66 he spent in Russia at
the Imperial observatory as guest of
the resident staff of observers there,
and on his return to the United States
he was chosen director of the Cin
cinnati observatory,
In beginning his astronomical
work at Cincinnati, in May, 1868,
Prof. Abbe expressed to the Chamber
of Commerce of that city his willing
ness to make daily predictions of the
weather for the benefit of the citizens.
Hit propotition wat accepted and the
work actually begun in September,
1869, by the publication of a dally
bulletin of weather, telegrams and
probabilities.
The tuccess of his scheme led
some of his trends to introduce a res
olution calling upon congress to es
tablish a national bureau of storm
warnings for the benefit of commerce.
This bureau was established by joint
resolution of February 4, 1870, and its
conduct was entrusted to General A.
J. Myer, then chief signal officer of
the army. He adopted into his
weather bureau all the' important
features of Prof. Abbe's .work at Cin
cinnati and, in January, 1871, invited
him to come to Washington as hit
scientific assistant.
The regular tri-daily issue of
"probabilities" began in February,
1871, and was kept up by Prof. Abbe
until others could be trained for this
service. These forecasts were pub
lished throughout the country anon
omously as official documents, and the
cognomen of "Old Prob," which had
been invented in Cincinnati, was soon
widely applied to their author.
From that time on the weather
service extended yearly until the
United States bureau came to rank
first among such services in the
world, and Prof. Abbe himself came
to be known as one of the world's
foremost meterologists.
Even when past 70 years of age,
Prof. Abbe continued in the govern
ment weather service to edit the
Monthly Weather Review and make
other contributions to meteorological
science. He was the recipient of a
gold medal from the Royal Meteor
ological society of England, member
of the National Academy of Sciences
and numerous foreign and American
scientific bodies.
MAKE GENERAL BREAK ROCK.
Haitian Warriors More Valuable As
Stone Crushers Than As
Soldiers.
When the late President Laconte
of Haiti set about to reduce the size
of hit army a few years ago, many
of the generalt whom he mustered
out of the service were put to break
ing rock on, the street. At one time
there were more officers than men
in the Haitian army, according to
apparently authentic statements.
The army officers of Haiti were as
fond of gold lace as a mountain girl
.of bright colors- Small wonder, then,
that the regalia of a field marshal
was everywhere in evidence. Times
have changed, however, and now the
American marine in quiet khaki takes
the place of the Haitian fire-eater
and his resplendent costumes. - J
In former times the pay of a Hai-"
titn soldier was tmall at best noth
ing at worst, and at all times insuffi
cient to keep the warrior fed decently.
The days of loading coffee on depart
ing ships were great days in Haiti.
They were busy days when the army
got a square meal, thanks to the
stevedore wages which the men were
able to earn.
Feeding the Haitian armiet in the
days before the American "big
brother" movement was not a diffi
cult job. Garrison rations consisted
of a sugar-cane stalk two or three
feet long and whatever else the
soldier could beg,- borrow or steal.

Mitchell Towing Sedan Springfield Type, with Window Down

Advance Designs on Show
A Surprise Demand WhichMakers Cannot Met
1 A New-Type Sedan Top Removable
2 The Mitchell Springfield Type Sedan
3 Cabriolet The Mitchell Coupe Roadster
s 4 All-Season Limousines and Coupes
Here are some facts which call
for prompt consideration if you
seek a winter car.
First, there is a dearth of cars
this fall fitted for year-'round ser
vice. And those are the coming
types. There will not be halt
enough.
Second, in the Mitchell models
the advance designs there is a
very small production. And youll
prefer these models.
A 20-Fold Demand
We suppose the demand for air
season types has increased twenty
fold in a year.
And history shows that when a
trend gains that momentum it
soon dominates the field.
So this is sure: A large percent
age of buyers hereafter will de
mand one car for all weathers and
seasons. That demand is rooted
in good sense, so it is bound to
flourish. 1 .
But it has grown so fast that
finear makers this fall cannot
half way meet it There will be
an enormous shortage. So folks
who seek a car of this sort should
decide at once. ' .;
Next-Year Models ' :
The Mitchell luxury models
now on exhibit are designs just .
completed for the 1917 Shows.
They were all designed under
John W. Bate, the famous effi-,
ciency expert And under his
motto "Do everything m the
best way that anybody knows."
So our craftsmen first examined
all the other fine models built All
the latest European and Ameri
can. No attractive feature any
where has been overlooked.
These new Mitchells, therefore,
combine more appealing features
than any other single car. You can
prove that in five minutes.
But these are advance models.
This fall's production is extremely
limited, and it is nearly sold. So
if you want one of them we must
know at once.
Five New Designs
We have a new-type Demount
able Top which fits the Mitchell
Touring Car. The windows and
supports disappear when not
wanted, as in the Springfield type.
t This doesn't look like an added
top. It doesn't overlap. It looks
like a Sedan, with electric dome

superb Sedan with the windows

windows are out
The door on the left opens at the
front as it should, where the driver
sits, while the door on the right
opens from the tonneau.
The Mitchell Cabriolet changes
in like way from a Coupe to an
open Roadster.
In the Mitchell Limousine all
windows drop. And so in the
Mitchell Coupe. Thus all these five
types render year-'round service.
Many Extra Features
In all Mitchell models you will
find many extra features. They
are paid for by factory savings, due
to John W. Bate. His efficiency
methods and this model plant give
us enormousadvantage. Compared
with the average car in this class,
the Mitchell offers at least 20 per
cent extra value.
The Mitchell of today embodies .
700 improvements which John W.
Bate has made. Most of them
mean added strength and en
durance. You will want the Mitchell when
you know it So we urge you to
see these luxury models while we
can still supply them.
