STATE PLANS TO
DEFEND SIMAN
LAW TO UTMOST
Attorney General Davis Says
Only Question on Language
- Act , Is Control of -Education".
Lincoln, May 5. "The Sinian law,
prohibiting foreign , language In
struction in Nebraska, will be le
fended by the state legal depart
ment tohe utmost of its ability.''
announced Attorney General Davis
today. .'' i
"Personally I feel no doubt that
the law is constitutional and that
the courts will uphold it.
Ihe only question in the suit
brousrht at Omaha attackintr the Si-
man act is whether the legislature
can exercise control over education.
Nothirg else is involved.
. . Not Private Rights.
"Private rights of" individuals arc
not at issue. The legislature did
.t,.4 t . .. X' ' 1 .
mi aiLciiifi iu uuciicrc 111 mil:i
matters and in my opinion given
.several days ago I wa particular in
attempting to point this out.
"It is the intention of this depart
ment to leave nothing undone to
ward carrying out the Americaniza-
, Program wh'ch the legislature
lias enacted. Those attacking the
Sim- n law seem to be proceeding
on the theory that the legislature
can not fix the basis of education
in the schools.
"The petition itself as recorded
in the press shows the need of such
legislation. It declares that the chil
dren can not be properly taught
without the u J of foreign language.
If that is the case, justification for
r ..king the English language the
exclusive medium of instruction is
apparent and radical measures are
called for."
Meld : in Accord. .
. Governor McKelvie likewise- an
no;:. ed the int ...tion of the state
dep; - r ,. -rously to defend the
Sji.u... law. He was in conference
with Attorney General Davis today
in regard to the matter.
Neither the governor nor the at
torney general has received sum
mons in the case.

Lincoln, May 5. Governor Mc
Kelvie is preparing a statement to
be eiven out in regard to the Dro-
posed referendum on the administra
tive code law. He is of the opinion
that every petition circulated for
signers must be attached to a full
and complete copy of the code en
actment. L. E. Aylsworth of Lin
coln has advanced this contention,
and Mr. McKelvie thinks the law so
requires.
Others point to contradictory pro
visions in the initiative and referen
dum law which they think will make
it (permissible to print only, the title
ol the code measure on the petition
blanks. The form, of referendum pe
tition as set forth in the statute,
calls tor the title only. Where a-f
referendum is to be had on part .of
an act, and not the whole thing, the
particular part must be set forth.
W. T. Thompson, former attorney
general, and other Lincoln lawyers
believe it will be legally sufficient
to print the title. It is reported
that one member of the state legal
department as now constituted takes
the same view, though Attorney
General Davis has not as yet an
nounced his personal view.
Fred C. Ayres, who is in charge
of obtaining signers for the refer
endum, visited the secretary of
state's office Monday morning, in
company with Attorney Dexter T.
Barrett, in order to obtain the exact
wording of the title from the original
bill. S. F. 2. This is what-vill go
upon the petition blanks. It would
be impracticable to circulate peti
tions attached to a huge volume of
printed matter like the code law,
and the cost would be prohibitive.

Lincoln, May 5. (Special.)
GoverrroY McKelvie today issued a
proclamation fixing next Sunday,
May 11, as Mothers' day. '
The governor says:
" "To honor the American mother
is to recognize the source of the
nation's greatest strength and
loyalty: and it is to pay tribute to
the home as the fountain-head of J
me siaic. ,
"The lessons of loyalty and love
that spring from the hearts of
American mothers ae lodged in
the hearts of American son 3, and
inspire them to deedsv of untold
valor and sacrifice when the na
tional" safety is involved.
"American mothers have again
passed through the ordeal pf na
tional trial and stress. Through
out it all they have acquitted
themselves with untiring zeal, and
their burdens have been second
only to the sacrifices that were
willingly made by the sons to
whom they gave birth.
"I know of no words that ade
quately eulogize the service that
is rendered our nation by the
American mother.- Indeed, the
debt we owe to her cannot be
paid in -words. Then let our deeds
serve her as her deeds have served
the world.
"I, therefore, proclaim May 11,
1919, as Mothers' day to be ob
served throughout the common
wealth of Nebraska by a proper
display of the national colors upon
the buildings, the home and in
other appropriate places; and in
such other ways as will fittingly
indicate our love and respect for
her."

Excluding Berger's
Papers From Mail
Washington, May 5. Action of
Postmaster General Burleson in ex
cluding from the mails copies of the
Milwaukee Leader, of which Victor
Berger was editor was sustained
today by the District of Columbia

tions contained articles "printed in
the spirit of hostility to our govern
ment and in a spirit of sympathy for
the central powers" and that the
publishers sought to "hinder and
embarrass the government in the
prosecution of the war."
The opinion expressed aoubt that,
the postmaster general had the au
thority to issfle, a "blanket" order
refusing the second class mailing
privilege in the futures, saying the
statute contained no express grant
of such authority.

Alkali In Soap -
Bad For the Hair
Soap should be used very careful
ly, if you want to keep your hair
looking its best. Most soaps and pre
pared" shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is .
just ordinary'mulsified cocoanut oil
(which is pure and greaseless), and
is better thart the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dan
druff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly; and it v
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky, lustrous, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, i's very cheap,
and a few ounces will supply every'
member of the family for months.
