MANY PATRIOTIC TALKS The Douglas County Association of Nebraska Pioneers spent practically all yesterday in the observance of Washington's birthday. They made the occasion the date for holdinR their annual mid-winter picnic, which started at 10 o'clock in the morning. From that hour until 1 o'clock in the afternoon members and friends were entertained in the association rooms on the ground floor of the courthouse. During this morning there was a sort of an informal gathering, and at noon refreshments, consisting of sandwiches, ice cream, cake ami cof fee were served in the rooms of the historical society. Something like 400 persons partook of the refresh ments. During the afternoon the entertain ment was transferred to court room No. 1. and there President O'Brien turned the affair over to iX H. Mer cer, chairman of the occasion. As an introduction to the program, stand ing, the pioneers and their friends sang "America," John A. McCreary singing the solo part, with Miss Amanda Tebbins at the piano. Program la Changed. Judge Woodrough of , the federal court having been unavoidably de tained elsewhere, it became necessary to make a slight change in the carry ing out of the program. The judge was to have been the first speaker, delivering an address on "George. Washington," to be followed by Cap tain Charles E. Adams, speaking on the "Continental Soldier." Their speaking positions were reversed, and in his address the captain paid a high tribute to the soldiers of the conti nental army, yet the tribute that he paid to the United States soldier of subsequent years was none the less glowing. The captain pictured the boys as the flower of the land, soldiers fight ing for the principles laid down by the constitution and not as hired men fighting in the countries of Europe. The address of Captain Adams was not one that would nave been approved of by the kaiser, for during his re marks, he took occasion to say that "we are not a people who will take our orders from the man across the sea and if any man, or woman in this country cannot subscribe to the laws of our land and the governing princi ples, he, or she should remember that the gates ot k,asne uaruen awins on ward as well as in. If they feel that they are not with us, let them at the earliest moment secure their passage back to the land from whence they came. Will Follow President. We arc a people of one country, livinir under one flag and having but one language and a desire for peace, but if the great questions now at stake must be settled by war, we are reiHv tn follow the president m Ins every desire to protect American citizenship. Wc are people wlio are not going to sit quietly by and have one man dictate to us tnai tnc uimh is closed to our commerce ana traae. Frequently during his remarks he wa annlauded. and at the close of his address he was loudly cheered. Judge Woodrough. speaking on George Washington," detailed his career from his youth to the time ol his retirement from public life, re ferring to incidents that indicated that he was one of the greatest men the world has ever produced. During the afternoon mere were readings by Mrs. Elliott and Miss Zella Toney, vocal solos by Chief of Police Dunn, Mrs. D. H. Dunham, Miss Amanda Tebbins and John A. McCreary, and instrumental music by Miss Augusta Mengedoht. ... Rev.

Thousands Attend "Safety First" Flag Raising at Smelter A rousing demonstration by a brass hand and hundreds of cheering work men marked the hoisting of a big "Safety First" flag Thursday after noon at the American Smelting and Refining company's plant. Sixth and Douglas streets. Ollicials of the com pany had awarded the flag as a tro phy in recognition of the Omaha plant's record in safety and welfare work among its men last year. No other among the twenty-four plants of the company in the t'nited States had so few accidents per thousand men, nor showed such a notable ad vance in "safely first" work. A large part of the smelter's 1,100 employes were allowed to leave their work to attend the flag raising. The green trophy flag, IOxJO feet in size, was hoisted immediately under the smelter's 20xj()-foot Old Glory. As the two big emblems were run up the flagstaff by Chief Engineer R. N. Rob ertson, everybody stood witli heads bared, while the hand played "Stars and Stripes Forever." Manager W. T. I'age, Superinter'l ent Arthur E. Hall, W. R. Rasmussen, head of the safety and welfare depart ment, and the superintendents of the various departments led their men in the three mighty cheers that followed. Mr. Kasmussen read a congratulatory letter from the head officials of the company. Others prominent at the affair in cluded Mrs. Grace Wheeler, a visit ing nurse in charge of the first aid work at the smelter; Drs. A. B. Som ers and W. H. Taylor, company physi cians, and the following department superintendents and officials: F.. IV Lefferts, W. P. Olds, R. H. l'rice, Robert Ross, J. O. Bettcrton and George C. Mclntyre. Operating the Omaha plant 117 consecutive days without an accident was one of the 1916 "safety first" rec ords of which Manager Page is espe cially proud.

E. Calvin of the luiiotr Pacific system here to day. "The passing of such legisla tion would he little less than crimi nal. It is unfortunate that the public has not a better understanding of the present question. 1 he litan legislature has hetore it a proposed utilities law which lim its the length of freight trains to fifty cars and Mr. Calvin's remarks arc taken as a protest against the passage of the bill. It is a well-known tact, he con tinued, "among officials of the rail roads, and employes also, that the proposed legislation is solely to force the railroads to employ more men by running more trains. It is rarely that I have anything to sav about prospective legislation, hut this proposed law before the Lltah leg islature is vicious and uncalled for."
