Important steps toward the de
velopment of a better citizenship were
taken at the general convention of
the Protestant Episcopal church,
Saturday, according to Bishop Arthur
L. Williams, who has returned to
Cmaha after a three-weeks' visit to
St. Louis, in attendance on the con
vention. "Americanism in its finest aspects,'
he said, "was the principal subject
of the pastoral letter of the house
of bishops, read by Bishop Brent of
the Philippines at tne nnai session
of the convention. This message,
which ' later will be read front all
the pulpits of .the faith, stated our
belief that preparedness is a duty,
but that it will fall short of its de
sired effect 'unless all the produc
tive forces of manhood are shaped
into social order and righteousness
and there is preparedness of char
acter. '
' This preparedness ot cnaracter is
ivolved in the plan of religious edu-
ation prepared by the commission on
teliaious education as a result ot
nine vears" studv. Based on the most
modern pedagogical methods, this sys
tem ot education looKs to tne oeveiop
ment in the church of the best pos
sible type of citizen, through the
proper inculcation of spiritual truths."
Perhaps the most inspiring features
of the convention, the "Nebraska prel
ate declared, were in the joint sessions
of the two houses in their considera
tion of this subject. "Some of the
finest addresses I have ever heard in
my life," he stated, "were (given in
the discussion'of this, topic."
Modern Education.
At president of the board of trus
tees of Brownell Hall, the local school
for girls, Bishop Williams has for
years been in closest touch wi'h
modern educational problems. He
feels that great progress has been
'made by the church in its application
of pedagogical science to the teaching-
of religious truths.
"The church's plan of education,"
he stated, "comprehends classes for
adults, as well as instructions for
children of all ages. This work for
adults was initiated in Omaha last
vear. and 110 men and women were

there have been enrolled as many
students as were in attendance during
the whole of last year."
Mis Euphemia Johnson, principal
of Brownell Hall, was also in at
tendance on the general convention,
and was amonsr the interested listen
ers at the sessions conducted by the
commission on religious education,
Flivver1 Ride Makes
"" "Harper Talk in Sleep
Chief Yeoman Guy Stoner, J. B.
Zimmerman and Frank Harper of the
local navv recruitine station have just
completed an unique tour of Nebras
ka advertising the navy.
Stoner was advance man, traveling
in princely style in his flivver, while
the other two came a few days later
by train. The government bought the
gasoline for' the Lizzie and gave the
men sl.i Df r diem. -
While direct results were not very
creat the tour stirred ud widespread
interest, says. Stoner, and letters are
being received daily .at the local re
cruiting office asking further infor
mation. A large influx of farmer boys
to the, navy is predicted as-a result
of the trip.
The boys say they had enough of it.
They figure they talked to about 15,
000 people. They got so that they
dreamed about the navy.
"Last night," said -Stoner, ("1 was
awakened, and Harper( who rooms
with me, was sitting up in be talking

"'I tell you, boys,' he was saying,
'the navy is the finest place in the
world for a young fellow to work.

Autoists Glad Gretna Cops
Quit the Watchful Waiting
Municipal 'and county officials at
Gretna have promised to lay oft.
That is, they have tacitly promised
not to "pinch" quite so many alleged
speeders along the Umaha, Lincoln
and Denver highway as they have
been nabbing.
So the word has gone out to Omaha
people that they ntoy resume travel
through Gretna.
Early this fall this campaign of
nipping' the tourist tlared so vio
lently all around Gretna that motor
ists were told to avoid that road. The
road officers there arrested from nine
to a dozen autoists a day. That was
when the autoists from Omaha1 were
gome to the state fair at Lincoln.
Randall K. Brown came back frdm
there one day pale with the ekneri
ence he had had, and still nervous
from his narrow escape. In fact, he
missed being picked up because there
were so many autos ahead of his that
had to be picked up first, there were
not orhcers enough to eo around.
Nevertheless, Randall brought back
the news that hawks of the law were
lying in wait along that trail. The
Omaha Automobile club and, the good
roads committee of the Commercial
club also took the matter up, ard the
Lincoln Commercial club got much
excited about the matter. Now the
road to Gretna is declared safe,
Boston Man Impressed
With Wealth of the State
Edgar J. Rich of Boston has been
in Omaha for same days visiting with
his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. A.
P. Tukey. Mr. Rich has visited twen
ty-eight states in the last month, but
found none better than Nebraska. He
was greatly impressed with the gen
eral prosperity of Nebraska and
Omaha, and especially with the
abundance of money he found here
available for legitimate loaning pur
poses.
What has become of the Jackson
ian club county central committee
which threatened to turn the old town
upside down a few moons ago? Have
the Jacks been placated, or have they
a large knife up their sleeve ready for
action on election day?
A Board of Education slate bearing
the label of "The Improvement Club
Slate," reads: "We are absolutely
opposed to the star chamber sessions.
We are opposed to" the unnecessary
delay of making the much needed improvements."

"No licensed saloon keeper would
dare sell the grade of liquors which
are shipped into dry territory by
bootleggers, because the saloon man
does not want 'his customers dying
in his place of business," was one" of
the arguments offered by Edgar F.
Hanson of Belfast, Me., speaking
Monday evening in the Auditorium
under the auspices of the Nebraska
Prosperity league. '
Mr. Hanson, who has been elected
mayor of his home town nine times
and twice to the state senate, spoke of
the effects of prohibition in Maine
since it was adopted seventy years
ago.
"It is a mistake to believe that when
you vote for prohibi;on you are vot
ing to protect your son. Prohibition
opens, the kitchen bars and closes the
public licensed bars, and remember,
there are women in the kitchen bars,
and don't forget the temptations these
women will place before your son,"
was another statement by the man
from Maine.
Consumption Doubles.
He stated thai) prohibition closed
twelve saloons in his town, but the
consumption of liquor was doubled
and the tax rate increased 248 per
cent. He quoted figures to show that
Drohibiti .1 in Maine was followed by
an increase of insanity caused by ex
cessive use of alcoholics and drugs.
He declared that the use of drugs
follows the use of bootleg whisky.
During the last ten years 25,000 per
sons have been convicted in Maine
for selling liquor, he said. ,.
"The authorities cannot enforce the
penalties prescribed by the law- be
cause the law is unpopular with fhe
people," was another anti-prohibition
argument offered by Mr. Hanson for
consideration of Omaha people.

Have You Read the So-Called
Prohibition Amendment?
We find that mighty few of the people who talk about it know
what it provides for haven't even read it.
Here it is
"On and after May first, 1917, the manufacture, the sale,
the keeping for sale or barter, the sale or barter under any pre
text of malt, spirituous, vinous or other intoxicating liquors,
' are forever prohibited in this state, except for medicinal, scien
tific or mechanical or sacramental purposes."
IT'S A FRAUD it isn't a REAL prohibition measure, it
doesn't attempt to prohibit the USE of liquors or beer the men
who framed it, themselves say that IT WASN'T INTENDED TO. '
If this "joker" Prohibition Amendment carries
YOU MAY DRINK. ALL YOU WANT, but you must BUY
from a dealer or manufacturer OUTSIDE OF NEBRASKA.
