SLOAN AND REAVIS
SPEAK AGAINST WAR
Two Nebraska Congressmen
Criticize Course of Presi
dent During Crisis.
THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1917.
DELEGATION IS DIVIDED
(From a Staff Corrcupondent.)
Washington, April 6. (Special
Telegram.) The Nebraska delegation
was evenly divided on the final vote
on the war resolution early this morn
ing. Lobeck, Stephens and Shallen
berger voted for it and Reavis, Sloan
and Kinkaid against it.
Representative Sloan was accorded
the floor first about 5:30 yesterday aft
ernoon to present the negative side
to the resolution and he gave the
house fifteen minutes of real thrills.
He criticised the president severely,
but in a dignified way, for his speech
of April 2. He said that he was not
one of those who had any illusion
about having been "kept out of the
war." That in every speech he made
during the last campaign he had met
the argument about "keeping us out
of war," with evidence that the
president desired to involve ithe
country into war and a forecast that
he would drive the country to the
extreme now about to happen.
One-Sided Wager.
Continuing before a crowded house
and crowded gallery, with corridors
filled with people waiting for a look
in on a historical scene, Representa
tive Sloan continued: "This measure
ia an offer to wager every dollar of
wealth and every American life
against nothing that the allies will
win. If the allies win we have that
which should never have been placed
in jeopardy. If the allies are over
come we may stand to lose.
"We have no place in the European
war outside the enforcement of our
rights upon the seas, and for that the
American people will gladly furnish
men and money.
"I could not vote for this initial
measure, which will be used as the
basis for extraordinary demands of
human life and blood and meet with
clear eye the mothers of this land.
At this time, after all our arguments
are fairly in, permit me to say that
should congress do this deed of shame
I shall then do as best I may the
duty of the hour to make our national
will lupreme over all that may op-
fiosc us in battle and save the repub
ie for a people to whom reason may
yet be restored.
"But until the will of congress is
erystalizef' let me say as the safest,
best and truest American doctrine,
the defense of American rights on
land and seas let millions be called
and billions voted; for an allied Eu
ropean war of aggression, no men,
no money."
Mr. Reavis Speaks.
' Later on Congressman Reavis, who
hat pronounced viewa on the ques
tion of whether we should declare
war with Germany, recited a number
of interesting incidents in connection
with the president's former visits to
the capitol outside the epochal visit
of Monday last.
He quoted from the president's
'speech wherein the chief executive
had asserted that the policy of armed
neutraility had been defeated by con
gress. '
He showed the incorrectness of this
Statement
"War with me is a last resort," said
Mr. Reavis. "If, however, the reso
lution is passed, then I will give my
best efforts to working out the situ
ation sucessfully.
"While willing to defend American
rights on the seas, my first desire is
to withhold this resolution until it
is demonstrated that the armed neu
trality policy recommended by the
president is insufficient and a failure."

Pirmin never had a chance to grow

vicissitudes and experiences he makes
the resolution to stay straight and
lend a helping hand to the fellow

and Pippin develops a decidedly in

one of the principal characters in a
delightful romance that is in itself
ample compensation for all the trials
of his earlier years.

Magazine Notes.
The Atlantic Monthly for April
contains an article by H. N. Brails
ford entitled, "The United States and
the League of Peace," "Democracy
and Diplomacy, by Arthur Bullard;
"With Army Ants Somewhere in the
Jungle," by William Beebe, are also
timely articles, besides which there
are many others as interesting, while
the fiction is up to the usual standard
of excellence.
Ian Hay has in the April Every
body's "A Spy Story of Belgium."
There is also a Johnny Kelly story
by Wilbur S. Boyer entitled "Getting
Even with Geogia." "The High Cost
of Peggy," by William Almon Wolff
is a bright, entertaining bit of fiction.
Harpers for April, besides contain
ing seven notable short stories, fea
tures an interview with Orville
Wright entitled "The Safe and Use
ful Aeroplane," and "Learning to Be
an American," which is the narrative
of an immigrant.
Every boy in America is interested
in the Boy Scout movement and Boy's
Life is the official magazine of that
great institution. Its stories are writ
ten by the greatest "boy story" writ
ers. For April one of the features
is "Business and Sand," by Irving
Crump. On Nature a 1 rail, by to
ward F. Bigelow, scout naturalist, will
be found of great interest.
In the April Munsey Samuel T.
Dana of the United States forest serv
ice has written "A Tragedy of the
Forests," depicting the rise and .fall
of a boom town which is exception
ally interesting. "The Castles of
England" by Richard Le Gallienne is
also entertaining and well illustrated.
A complete noveletK, five short
stories and two serials furnish the
fiction. ,
"The Soldier Girls at the National
Service School" is a timely article by
Miriam Warren Hubbard in that pop
ular "St Nicholas," for April. Other
interesting features are "The Girls in
Khaki" by Margaret Dadmun, "Un
derstood Betsey," by Dorothy Can-
field, while the rest ot the pages are
just full of stories and articles which
Charge of Embezzlement
In Wild Horse Case Void
, Echoes of the "Arizona wild horse
case" were hear, in police court when
John P. Shircliff, one of the wild
horse defendants, was brought before
Police Magistrate Madden on a charge
of embezzlement preferred by J. Sid
ney Smith, another of the wild horse
defendants and alleged ringleader.
Smith had Shircliff returned to
Omaha from El Paso, Tex., charging
that Shircliff embezzled the Investors'
Security association f South Dakota
out of $600. Smith testified that Shir
cliff told a farm for either $750 or
$850 and that he came to Omaha and
ot into a poker game at the Plaza
otel which proved disastrous to Shir-
cliff's funds.
Attorneys for Shircliff made the
plea that the evidence did not prove
the embezzlement had been committed
and the magistrate dismissed him.
Smith is suing Shircliff for $14,750
in the district court.

"War and the Child" is taken up in
an article by Agnes Repplier in the
March Atlantic Monthly, while other
interesting articles and stories are
found between the pages of this valu
able magazine. Noticeable' among
them might be mentioned "The
Schoolma'am of Squaw Peak," by
Laura Tilden Kent; "Nietzche," ,by
Josiah Royce; "The Man," by War
rington Dawson, and "Music and
Life," by Thomas Whitney Surette.
The Writer, a monthly magazine for
literary workers, is very valuable in
this line of work. In it common er
rors of writing are taken up and cor
rected, practical advertisement writ
ing is discussed and other valuable
articles are contained therein.
"Are the knights of olden days re
turning?" one might ask on looking
at the cover of the April Popular
Science Magazine. However, it is an
up-to-the-minute knight wearing up-to-date
armor that is pictured. A new
bullet-proof invention and only one
of the many new scientific inventions
that are shown in this valuable maga
zine. Fitting a heroic war dog with an
artificial limb, equipping a life belt
with flashlights and automatically
phoning in a burglar alarm by press
ing a button are some of the inter
esting matters taken up in Popular
Mechanics for April. Many more, too.
"Tho Clipper Ship and Her Sea
men" is an article in the April Scrib
ner's that will be found entertaining
and interesting. "The Basis for Na
tional Military Training," by Henry
L. Stimson, is timely, while the fic
tion is, as always, of the best.
Convalescent Aid

A Convalescent Aid society is the
latest philanthropic effort of the Pub

ing all of the church denominations in
the city met in the city hall to plan
ways to assist sick persons just re
leased from hospitals. Each church
will take care of the sick of its own
denomination while an Omaha Wom
an's club committee, headed by Mrs.
A. L. Fernald, will look after those
who are affiliated with no denomina
tion. "Our aim is to help these people
at the time when they are most in
need of help and most liable to get
themselves deeply into debt," said
-Mrs. Rose Ohaus. "We hope it will
eliminate a lot of promiscuous beg
ging." Meetings of the committees will be
held every Monday morning at 10
o'clock in the welfare rooms at the
city hall. Among the women inter
ested are Mesdames T. F. Sturgess,

ACTED QUEE&LY OF LATE
Zach M. Ellis, constable in Judge
Britt's municipal court, fired a shot
through the front door of his home
at 2411 Saratoga street Thursday
night about 10 o'clock. Then he
walked toward the rear of his home
and disappeared. An Americai. flag,
which had been flying from his front
porch, was found, broken, on the
foor of the pore!..
Mrs. E. Wesley French 2409 Sara

ing through her front door, saw Ellis
walk to the back of his home. The
firing of the revolver brought neigh
bors to the scene, who found the
American flag lying on the veranda
of the Ellis home.
Zola Ellis, 16-year-old daughter of
the missing man, who had taken
refuge in the home U C B. Gaunt,
2413 Saratoga street, says that her
father has been acti. strangely of
late. It was because f his peculiar
behavior recently that she went to
the Gaunt home Thursday night
rather than await the arrival of her
father at their home.
Ellis created a scene in municipal
court a few weeks ago when he de
manded from a litigant there the irfl

due him.

Flush the Kidneys
How one Act. bun Butt umutin. Lumi
(Br U a SMITH, M. D.)
It was not until the discovery by Sir
Arthur Gerod, in 1848, that the blood of
gouty patients oontained nric acid in an
excessively large amount, that much
attention waa paid to this subject.
Later scientific! men learned that in
gout, also rheumatism, the kidneys do
not work properly to throw off the orio
acid poison; consequently uric acid crys
tals are deposited in and about the Joints,
In Urn nannies, where an inflamma
tion ia set np in the nearby tissues.
Hague has said, that " goat is rheu
matism, and rheumatism ia gout.
If uric acid ia formed in excesa within
the body it is passed on to the kid
neys, wbioh act aa a filter to pass
off this poison. If the excesa is not
excreted by the kidneys, it ia distri
buted thru the tissues. The choice
aitea for inch storage are in the joints,
musele-sheaths, where the circulation
is weakest, and where also the alkalin
ity of the blood ia lowest. Conse
quently we must do everything to
1 1 throw oft this urio aoid poison, and
simple methods are best. Flush tbs
U kidneys by drinking 6 to 8 glasses of
H water between meals. A pint of hot
water a half hour before meals.
Take Annrio (double or triple
strength), three times a day for
awhile. Invigorate and assist the kid
neys to flush out the uric acid poisons.
During winter months the circulation
ia apt to be sluggish and the blood
stream retarded. If nric acid is pres
ent it is apt to clog the capillaries.
This accounts for many acute condi
tions, such aa headache, neuralgia,
Saetno disturbances, and dull mind,
s the condition progresses, we often
have lumbago, disease of the heart
and arteries, breaking down of the
kidneys, rheumatism and gouty symp
toms. Eat less meat, drink mors
water, and take Anurio (double or
triple strength ) after meals and at bed
time for several weeks at a time, and
yon will be free from uric acid and
the diseases that follow.
