KAMERAD TO "PEN"
TO AYOIDLYNCHERS
Man Said to Have Confessed
Bnital Murder at Ord Hur
ried to Lincoln.
THBIAT TO STOBM JAIL
Lincoln, Feb. II. Sheriff Atwood
of Howard county arrived in Lincoln
yesterday evening with Louis Kam
erad, who was reported to have
made a confession of the mur
, der of Alice Parkos, a 13-year-old girl,
W ednesday night. Threats that Kam
erad would be lynched if he was per
mitted to remain at Ord prompted the
sheriff to take the action. He was
taken to the state penitentiary on hii
arrival here, and will be kept there
until the excitement at Ord has
quieted.
Early Saturday morning to insure
his safety, Kamerad was taken from
the Valley county jail and rushed by
automobile to St. Paul, in Howard
county. A hastily formed party of
would-be lynchers, which followed the
sheriff and his prisoner part of the
distance, threatened during the day to
storm the jail at St Paul. . ,
"LITTLE MOTHER" OF

to bring a message to Omaha again,
she well rememberinw the reception
given her here years ago when she
was a member of the National Prison
congressi ,
. Tears in Her Heart
"I belong not to the world of the
free, but to that world behind the
shadowy prison walls which most peo
ple so seldom see. I talk with tears
in my heart, for I know what sor
row ts. I think of those with am
bitions dimmed. hoDea crushed and
names blackened the men behind
prison bars. But even for those in the
darkest cells, in the deepest dungeons,
there is hope if they will but believe
.in the wonderoua divine touch, feel it,
and put sin behind them. There is no
soul so blackened but that will some
time in life feel the need of the divine
touch of God. ; ' .
Sinners, according to Mrs. Booth,
must rise up and work out their own
salvation. She declared that "God
helps the man who helps himself."
At the close of her address Mrs.
Booth announced that she had filled
her speaking engagement here in the
face of a great sorrow, in that she
had received a telegram in the morn
ing telling of the death of one who
had been as dear to her as a mother
Mrs. Quincy Adams Shaw of Boston.
To Help Local Volunteers.
One of Mrs. Booth's objects in
coming to Omaha was to assist the
local Volunteers in their campaign
for funds for a new permanent home.
She said that neither she nor her
husband have ever asked anything j
for themselves for their work for the
organization, on the contrary, had
contributed all they received from
other sources. ; . ;.i - i-1
She urged Otnahans to give ali they
could spare toward the special col
lection for the general work of the
Volunteers in Omaha and for the aid
of prisoners when they have com
pleted their sentences and require
help to get a new start in life. ,
Mrs.! Booth is a stately looking
woman, a forceful speaker, with the
accent of the Englishwoman. She
knows the wealthy and leisure diss
as wen as tne aaru ano seamy side ot
life. Shje is said to be as much at
home on Fifth avenue as in the slums
of New York, where she has visited
countless times m her charity work.
On one occasion the was entertained
at Newport by the New York society
leader, Mrs. Belmont, and her daugh-
ter, the duchess of Marlborough, the
latter a prominent social worker in
England. .
Rev. Edwin H. Jenks delivered the
invocation and introduced Mrs. Booth
and the other speakers. The work of
the Volunteers of America was lauded
by Rev. Charles E. Cobbey and Rev.
Hugh B. Specr, who said that the or-

plished just as much good as the
church.
A solo was sung by Mrs. Charles
II. Wright. ,
Mrs. Booth stated that she had per
formed the marriage ceremony which
had united Major and Mrs. McCor
mack and later had christened their
child, Alice, consecrating her to God's
work, Alice is now 16 and is assist
ing her father and mother in the local
work. , '

How to Avoid Stomach Troubles.
Digestion begins in, the mouth.
Food should be thoroughly masti
cated. Your food should be suited
to your age and occupation. People
of sedentary habits should eat lit
tle meat, but should drink an abund
ance of water, especially when they
lint get up in the morning and be
tween meals. : When you feel dull and
stupid after eating, that shows that
you have eaten too much. The bow
els should be kept regular. When
needed take a dose of Chamberlain's
Tablets. They will improve your di

WARM TRIBUTES TO

to the bench with a view of securing
certain interpretations of statutes, nor
did he believe that the executive
should coerce the congress or lobby
the enactment of laws.
' "In other words, Mr. Lincoln was
a conservative of the most pronounced
type, an uncompromising protection
ist, and an American. He believed in
Seace, but in peace with victory, for
e wrote to Charles Francis Adams,
our ambassador, to England, as fol
lows: . . '. " :,'
u tne oruisii government in anyij
way approach you directly or indi-J!
a..-1 1 with n-i.r.r,"it,.,,. . !i , 1, aaema1
or contemplate an appeal to the presi
dent on the subject of our internal af
fairs, whether it seems to imply a pur
pose to dictate,' or to mediate or to
advise, or even to solicit or persuade,
yon will answer that you are forbid
den to debate, to hear, or in any
way to receive, entertain, or transmit
any communication of the kind.'
"It requires somewhat more than a
deep interest in a man as man, some
what more than an abiding love of
country, somewhat more than settled
convictions, to establish a similitude
with Abraham Lincoln."
Lincoln and Labor,
Marcus M. Marks, president of 'the
Borough of Manhattan, New York
City said: "Lincoln never took the
paternalistic attitude toward labor.
He was broader, wiser, more appre?
ciative of the spirit of fraternity.
Many well-meaning men and women
today still commit the error of patting
labor on the back. So-called welfare
work introduced into factory, mine,
school and home fails of its purpose
when superimposed by a . would-be
philanthropic agency. The working
man wants no favor. He demands
only a simple justice. Fair wages,
short hours ana proper working con
ditions are his due. Safety, comfort,
sunlight, ventilation and general pro
tection during employment are not
gifts but only fair payment for serv
ices rendered. There is at times a sus
picion on the part of labor that the
cost of welfare work is deducted from
the wages due. This suspicion nullifies
the usefulness of the offering.; Em
ployers are beginning to understand
what Lincoln intuitively perceived
concerning the spirit of liberty and in
dependence of labor." ,:
How to Honor Lincoln.
The best tribute to Lincoln on this,
the eve of his birthday, is loyalty to
his successor, said Dr. John Wesley
Hill, chancellor of the Lincoln Me
morial university. It is better, he said,
to recognize and honor such peerless
leaders while they are at work in our
midst than to wait until the death
certificate is issued. "At such a time
as this, partisanship should disappear,
patriotism should occupy the fore
ground, and every man who loves the
flag and who believes in the pro
tection of American rights and the
preservation of our national self
respect, owes it to his citizenship to
stand loyally by the president to up
hold his hands, and thus to contribute
to the solution of the great problems
which confront him. This loyalty to
his successor will be our best tribute
,to Abraham Lincoln." . . "

INTENTIONS GOOD,
BUT AVAIL LITTLE
Jim Auten Has Learned That it
Is a Hard Matter to Make
or Unmake Laws.
IT IS EASIER TO GROW CORN
(From a Start Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Feb. 11. (Special.) Rep
resentative James Auten of Boone
came down to the legislature with
good intentions. Like hundreds of
other men who have come to Lincoln
in the last forty years, more or less,
he believed it easy to make jiew. Taws
nd unmake old ones whidv.never
should have been made. He was hon
est in his intentions to earn his $10 a
day and return to his constituency re
ceiving the admonition, "Well done,
good and faithful servant; we -will
send you up higher."
But "Jim," as he is known to his
many friends, has changed his mind
not in regard to earning his . salary
and doing good work, but as regards
the idea that it was easy, to make
and unmake laws. It is true' many
legislators do think it easy, but "Jim'
has always been s hard worker and he
is willing to continue that reputation
m the legislative halls. As a tiller of
the soil he has made good, but mak
ing 'laws is different from growing
corn and raising hogs and cattle, as
the gentleman from Boone has dis
covered to his sorrow. To nse his
own words, "There is too much
damphoolery going around in this
house when we ought to be doing
business," and that true and trite ex
pression is likely to go down through
future legislative sessions, just the
same as Speaker Marsh Elder's "We
will not unhitch for dinner."
' Pay Too Little Attention.' ,
This all comes from the fatft that
the members pay abour&as much at

Just why, when bills are under con

Doomed to Disappointment
Representative. Jim Auten will go
back to Boone county after adjourn
ment with a reputation as one of the
hardest working men of the body, but
he will carry with him, no doubt, a
disappointment in his heart and a re
gret that more had not been done.
But he will also be a somewhat wiser
guy, for he will know a great deal
more why past sessions have accom
plished so little.
Will he be able to make his' Boone
county constituents believe the truth
when he tells them the reason?
when he tells them the reason?
Hardly. Results is not what the peo
ple of Boone county and ninety-two
other counties in the state appreciate,
it appears. Present members have
not forgotten that celebrated legisla
ture o' 1907, which has gone down
in history as the most progressive and
businesslike legislature the state ever
had. Democrats today still point to
it with pride, even if both branches
were republican and a republican
governor signed the laws made. And
when they think how hard those 1907
members worked and the good things
they accomplished, and how ' they
were repaid by defeat at the, polls at
the next election, there is no incen
tive for effective work at this time,
and, "the worst is yet to come."
