CHAIRMAN HAYS
SAYS LABOR IS
TRUE TO NATION
G. 0. P. Leader Impresses
Necessity for Industrial Peace
During War and Pays
Tribute to Workers.
Lincoln, Neb., May 29. (Special.)
Will H. Hays, chairman of the re
publican national committee, in his
message to Nebraska republicans,
read on Tuesday at Lincoln, ex
pressed a sympathetic appreciation of
the problems of labor in this coun
try. On this subject Mr.. Hays
wrote:
"Labor in this country today is for
the war, and is giving in full measure
to the nation's cause. We are a na
tion of wage' earners, and the welfare
of these men must have that consid-
. eration that guarantees to them, that
to which in all fairness thffy are en
titled. e must have just remedial
' legislation for the betterment of this
great mass of our population at all
times, not only because it is their due,
but also that by justice always we
can prevent such propaganda as that
' insidious criminal influence of the In
dustrial Workers of the World fronj.
taking hold in the ranks of real la
bor. Industrial Peace Standard.
i We must have industrial peace now
as will make certain that every atom
of brain and every ,ounce of brain,
goes where needed most to help the
common cause. And that is not a
charge on labor only. We must have
less profiteering and more volunteer
ing in this country.
"And that lawless individual that
goes about the country thinking only
of himself and seeking whSm he may
destroy, is a traitor to his country ab
solutely, and nothing else, and should
be treated as such. For a traitor
there is but one effective medicine
taken standing, against a wall. Let
aim have it."

Increased.

tary-treasurer.
Called to South Dakota.
County Judge Walter Winterstein
returned from Hettinger, S. D., where
he was called to testify to records in
his office in the trial of the state
against Jack Horton for bigamy.
Horton, as Egbert C. Turner, was
married in Fremont m 1908 at the
office of the county judge. The testi
mony showed that at that time wite
No. 1 lived in Missouri. Two years
later wife No. 1 secured a divorce.
The defense at Hettinger contends
that as the marriage at Fremont was
not legal, his third marriage in North
Dakota is not bjgamy.

who he married at Fremont, is re
siding at Mead. Turner operated a
barber shop and confectionery store
at that place for eight years.
Gas Suit Dropped.

by the company if the bill is paid
by the 10th of the month. Several
weeks ago the Fremont Gas, Electric
Light and Power company asked for
permission to make the raise. The
council delayed action and two weeks
ago the company announced that the
increase would be made at, once. The
suit brought by the gas company
against the city for an injunction re
straining it from putting into force
an ordinance passed nearly two years
ago, providing for a reduction in gas
rates will be dropped. '

University Professor Quoted as
Declaring Autocratic Elements
of Nation Forced Country
Into Conflict.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, May 29. (Special Tele
gram.) A newspaper article printed
July 12, 1917, in which Prof. C. E.
Fersinger of the American history
department of the University of Ne
braska was quoted as having said
"He was still sorry that congfess had
allowed itself to be stampeded into a
declaration in favor of entering th
European war," was introduced in
evidence today at the hearing of the
University Board of Regents into
charges by the State Council of De
fense that some of the school's in
structors were un-Amerfcan in their
attitude on the war.
The article also quoted Frof. Fer
singer as follows:
"The real trouble is that autocratic
and aristocratic elements throughout
the country are taking advantage of
the war to override democratic ele
ments and ideas which they could
have no hope of successfully attack
ing in time of peace, and againtt
this attempt I expect to wage just as
vigorous a fight as I am able, whether
it costs me my position in the uni
versity or not."
This Not "My War."
Editor Phelps of the Howells
Journal, a witness most of the after
noon, told of editorials written by
him and appearing in his paper, in
which he charged Prof. G. W. A.
Luckey, at an address before the
Howells High school graduating
class in May, 1917, had made re
marks which showed he was not in
sympathy with the war.
Prof. Luckfy had said, according to
Phelps:
"I .can see as I look into the faces
of you young people that i could
fight and die for you, but not light
and die in the trenches in a foreign
land in a war which is not my war."
Letters between the two men were
introduced in evidence. Prof. Luckey,
in one letter claiming that the same
address as given at Howells was
given at four other places and no one
else objected to what he had said, lit
claimed also that the editor had mis
interpreted his remarks.
Wolfe Asserts Loyalty.
The line of demarcation between
patriotism and duty was one of the
points jn issue when the case of
Prof. H. K. Wolfe was considered.
Wolfe's attitude tovsjird the gov
ernment was presented pro and con.
C. B. Towle and W. A. Selleck. Lin
coln business men. related conversa
tions they had with the professor, who
expressed ideas regarding the war
rTOt in harmony with the ideas of the
witnesses, although they would not
say that Wolfe was actually disloyal.
A. L. Hickock, former professor at
the university, said Prof. Wolfe had
told him that he did not believe in
patriotism, but did believe in duty.
Patriotism had put Germany in war.
His ideas of the war activities did
not agree with those of the govern
ment. Patriotism Against Duty.
Prof. Wolfe later took the stand
and denied that the matter of patriot
ism and duty had been discussed. He

Stout, of S. R. McKelvie, candidate
for the republican nomination for
governor, A. W. Jefferis of Omaha
and Jude H. H. Wilson of Lincoln
were along lines oL the afternoon
meeting.
It is perhaps interesting to the
people of the state to know that one
name above all others brought the
guests to their feet ir. a round of en
wild enthusiasm and cheering, and
that was when Mr. Jefferis mentioned
the name, of Theodore Roosevelt.
Almost to a man a shout went up
that demoted the popularity of the
colonel while men sprang to their feet
and cheered long and loudly.
Utmost harmony prevailed.
