PRETTY FRENCH
GIRL GETS MANY
OFFERS OF AID
Madeline Babin, Heroine of
I War Romance, Is Tendered
; Marriage. Proposals and
: Financial Help in Letters.
By International Nwa Slc .
Kansas City, Mo., April 17. Of
fers of marriage, of homes, of legal
and 6f financial aid, condolences and
condemnations are beiiipt' received
tlaily by Madeline Babin, French girl
in the war romance of Lee Shippev,
, Missouri poet, newspaper man ana
Y. M. G; A. secretary.
', 'Nfadcluie seems amazed at them
all and. answers only those , from
friends whom she met in Paris, as
she" waits with her mother and. her
sisfcf.'.Georgctte, the outcome of the
demand by Shipper's wife that she
be sent back to France.
I Recommendations in Miss Babin' s
case have been sent Washington
,hy Warren Long, of the United
States bureau of immigration here.
Attorney Will Help.
. Among lett ers received by Made
line'.'is one from Miss Jean Cham
:blin, ,jn .charge of the Y. M. C. A.
office in Paris,' where Madeline
.'worked after the; death of her la
;thcr.r Miss Chamblin is now in New
TorW7She spent much time at the
Babin., borne and knew Madeline
jwell-v .Miss Cliamblin's' letter, a
cheery one, concluded by stating
, ;thaj,an; attorney here had been nod
died to visit Madeline and do all he
'could to help her.
- Another letter came from Leon
lard Robinson, former sergeant mi
the A. ' E. F., who lives with his
Wif rat Jforth Platte, Neb. The Rob
iiUan.. offered the girl ' refuge in
tttriCltErnp Robinson became ac-
quainted with the Babins while sta
tioned in Paris. lie obtained Made
line's address through the police
upon learning from a press dispatch
, that she' was in America.
Many Would Wed Her.
In the scores of letters received
at the Babin home daily, a legal
bond of wedlock seems to be the
prevailing idea as to the best way to
relieve the girl of her 'distress. One
young man whosigned. the name of
Frank Weston, asked Madeline to
meet him at the Pontiac hotel in
St. Louisr. There, he -said, they
1 could look one another over and, if
, suited, could be legally married.
' Madeline says she has received
word from Lee Shippey since her
. story -was bared in tiie press, but
seems reticent about telling im what
way. She says, however, that she
has not received a letter direct from
.Shippey.
Shippey's sister,. Virginia, and his
mother, who live at Long Beach,
Cal., both have written warm let-
tcrs of encouragement, telling her
to be brave and patient, the girl
says. '

fight class legislation o a finish.
Any kind of class legislation is bad.
Class legislation marks the begin
ning of the decadence of a govern
ment. We want nothing of it, but we
do want to establish a very general
condition under which men and
women who are thrifty and indus
trious can wot at a wage which will
enable them to live and save money
for a rainy day; to marry, to raise
a family and give to their children
a reasonable start in the world.
"Honesty n the part of those
who employ labor means a liberal
wage and an interest in tbe men who
work for them. Honesty on the
part of labor means loyalty to the
man he works for and a good day's
work for a good day's pay." ' f
Condemns "Fakers."
He condemned fakers who mis
lead the workers and he condemned
political fakers who seek to gain
personal popularity by arraying one
racial group against another. He
asserted that capital and labor must
each be given a square deal, because
they are one artid inseparable, and
together they produce what is
known as prosperity.
The general said that an efficient
army can not , be "maintained unless
the esprit de .corps of the men is
considered and the leaders, are com
petent men, and he held that the
same rule applies in industry.
Refers to Lincoln.
"You have got to introduce the
human element into the relations be
tween those who .direct work and
those who -work. Vou cannot put
the thing over with a club. We have
absolutejy got to meet the issue on
the basis of absolute fairness," he
continued. "Generally speaking,
Abraham Lincoln put the whole
statement about as concisely as any
one can, when he said: 'Let not him
who is houseless tearxdown the
house of his neighbor, but rather let
him build one for himself, thus, by
example, showing confidence that his
own when built will stand." That is
the whole doctrine of labor and cap
ital respect for the rights of prop
erty, thrift, industry and work. We
have all got to work. We want to'
preach work. ,We need plain, sim
ple honesty."
He declared that every man who
claims to be an American , citizen
should endeavor to bring together
in a homogeneous ' mass all of the
racial groups, get rid of the hyphen
"and measure a man by the way he
does tus duty to his country. ;
"'Steady,' should he oux watch
word," he added. "Chaos and law
lessness' are rampant in Europe and
a'' spirit of jrestlessness exists in
this- country." We want conserva
tism and we should keep our feet on
the ground." ,'
Favors Retrenchment.
He favored-- mustering out of a
large, army of salaried unemploye1
government employes, because the
country is 'carrying a tremendous
financial burden and he urged that
the strangle hold which excess tax
ation has on American should be
removed.

another thought.
He said the republican party dur
ing the war subordinated itself to
the occasion, but must again take
the leadership. Destructive . criti

' Strong Foreign Policy.
On the thought of foreign policy.
he said: "We have tried to rule the
world with a verbal message. We
want a strong, dignified, but positive
foreign policy, seeking friendships
without alliances, a policy that will
protect our citizens even in ChinaJ.or
Mexico. We need the Roosevelt
policy of 'Speak softly, but carry a
big stick and you will go forth.' "
He reviewed his, military policy,
j explaining that -he testified before
congress that an army of 200,000 to
; 250,000 should be adequate for peace
j-.eeds find he defended the tpur
months' military training bill which
was reported out of cimmittee at
Washington. He said this should be
known as "training for national ser
vice," rather than military training.
He added that the bill will never be

people wish that it be done. ,
His opinion of the league of na
tions was that this country docs not
want a league until it has been thor
oughly Americanized, following the
time-honored doctrines and policies
of this country. '
"We are the sole judges of when
and where we shall fight," he de
clared. "Let us take the league , ,
nations ttfter it has been completely
Americanized, the Monroe DoctHni

the judge of when we shall act and

I stand for Dollar Gas, knowing that it is a possibility by
virtue of the purchase of the Gas Plant by the city of Omaha.
Occupation taxes and general taxes now paid by the Gas Com
pany, as well as the annual dividends paid to its stockholders,
will ljte eliminated under municipal ownership. However, if it is
thentention of the general manager toay off $1,000,000 in
debtedness 'each five years, we will not get Dollar gas. .It is
a gross injustice to saddle the entire cost of this plant on this
generation in order to present the next generation with a debt
free Gas Plant We are entitled to Dollar gas NOW. There is no
justice in paying $1.35 for gas in order that we may be generous
to posterity. If the repayment of the Gas Bonds is spread over
a 9 eriod of fifty years we will get Dollar gas immediately, but
jf we are to pay for the plant in fifteen-years we will have to
pay more for gas than we did under private ownership.
If nominated and elected to the State Senate I pledge my
self to promote legilationthat will insure Dollar Gas NOW.
I earnestly solicit your support at the primaries, April 20th.
