HOUSE PASSES BILL CREATJflG AIR MAIL ROUTE Representatives Approve Cort ference Report on Postoffice ' Bill Now Up to ) President. . By E. C. SNYDER. Washington, 1. C, April 17. (Special Telegram.) The trans continental air mail service for v men qi,ioi,uw is appropriated in they postoffice appropriation bill for , the fiscal year ending July 1, 1921, which passed the house Friday and now goes to the president, occupied congress, just after the house con vened, and for an hour it was de bated of cities on the .route' from New York to San Francisco via Chi cago and Omaha. Representative Miller of Seattle was most solicitous over the fail tire of the Postoffice department to include his city in the . overland route, insisting that the air cur-J rents north and south were the same as those east and west. He cited the testimony of General Mitchell, before the military affairs committee of the housi, of which he is a mem ber, m support of his contention. Steenerson Opposed. Chairman-Steenerson of the post office and postroads corrfmittee frankly admitted that he was op posed to- the proposition, but had been outvoted by the conferees and there was nothing left for him to do but stand by the report. Congressman Dvcr of St. Louis narTeen placated ay tne conierence committee by striking out of the bill . a. limitation placed on the postmas ter, general in purchasing aircraft to- be' used on thft transcontinental toute entirely .and as the item now stands the postmaster general may develop otjier. routes, if the trans continental route proves successful. Representative Btanton of Texas, wanted to knaw if the postmaster peneral had 'promised Chairman Steenerson to include the twin cities, St. Paul and Minneapolis, on an air mail route, if the route from New York to San Francisco were adopted. Mr. Steenerson, with deep, resent ment in his voice, replied to the Texan by stating that Blanton had continually persisted in misrepre- seliting him, and that once for all, It wanted it understood, that there as no understanding whatever, be tween Burleson and himself. Jefferis Listens. Congressman Jefferis, who had done a great deal of effective work for the item, contented himself with listening to (the wail of representa tives whose towns were not in cluded in the transcontinental "Uncle Joe" Cannon lessened the tension considerably when "he re marked: "I want to see theNair mail iiy over Jjanvmcjv icis vuic, nu they did, making the transconti nental air mail route a possibility and Omaha one of the terminals. Speaking of the action of the hous,. Congressman Jefferis said: "I am greatly pleased at the action of the house in approving the air mail route. That Omaha should be one of the four great cities on the first transcontinental air route is a strik ing tribute to the wonderful ad vantages offered our city. Omaha since its founding, has been known as the 'gateway to the west,' and this signal recognition at the hands of congress proves ' this to be no idle boast, threat credit is due our forward-looking citizens whose fore sight and civic pride made possible the splendid hangar and landing field for the planes."

He will show the same responsibility in- steering the American nation over the, breakers." Political leaders in North Platte predict victory for Pershing throughout the state in the coming primaries.

Initiation, dancing and entertainment. Every Yeeman at tend! Rhadamanthua aat Swedish Audi torium in the afternoon. JJewire-' of r-y ies Leonard Wood lias had only to show himself to win. The huge and rugged form developed by manly exercise; the stern, yet kindly face; the mild, yct.resolute voice ; the earn est mien, have won wherever they have come into' contact with other men wherever they "have been seen.' "Veni, vidi, vici," said CaeserjV I - came, sawj I conquered" might stand as a motto for Leqnard WoodJ Where the General has not shown himself, his enemies have tried to create impressions contrary to,, the facts and misrepresent him in every way; for the big, stalwart form might belong to an ogre as well as to one of tKe most single-minded and conscien tious men the country has produced. Unable to make headway against him among the people whose instincts are almost always sound and true, they have thrown off all restraint and resorted to chicane, the chicane and trickery , of the amateur in politics, often to the amusement of the friends of Leonard Wood. ' Among the Northern races of South Dakota he was this or that, as the oc casion might suit anti-Catholic in Catholic communities and Catholic where the people are strongly Pro testant. Pamphlets were distributed,' just before the polls opened, putting him in a false light; but, in politics the injection of religious issues ever proves v a two-edged sword," and the result in South Dakota stands as new evi dence of its futility. . - Not satisfied with that, yet ano'ther effort was made in Illinois t.n link tha name of Wood with that of George town University, one of the most toler ant and 'liberal of American colleges, though nominally 'Catholic. "I am an Episcopalian and never have been connected with the good work, that is being done by George town University," was the stinging re buke of Leonard Wood himself As a soldier and man of the world, familiar with the Cubans, who are Catholic, the" Moro pirates, whose in stincts plated them among the canni bals of the Pacific, and people of every land, Leonard Wood is tolerant of all and appreciative of the good in all, leaning neither to the left nor right. Only persons brought up in the nar rowest surroundings and unacquainted with the world are swayed by prej judice, and it is no compliment to the supporters of' any, candidate to ac cuse tnem of resorting to methods which are wholly un-American and contrary to thfT tolerant spirit of American institutions. They surely have not th"e religion which teaches, them to love their f ellowi men. After contending with them in South Dakota, in Michigan,; in Min nesota and in Illinois, the Wood sup- -porters are aware that the same issUe is to be raised in Nebraska by the same antagonists as a further bacje-handed slap. Lesson 'after lesson, defeat after defeat, will not teach them the as ininity of what they try to do. Nor will they heed any friendly admoni tion. They will persist to Jhe end of the campaign. These attempts to arouse 'one reli gious element against another has been traced, back- to the anti-Wood forces and in every instance Leonard Wood supporters are now in a position to place their hands on the men re- ' sponsible for them. His friends see LE0NARDW00D no excuse for the attempt to introduce the religiousngle in the present cam paign. The only statement made by General Wood on the question js that he is a member of the Episcopal church and that he issorry that he has hot had the honor to represent George town University and take a part in the good work it has been doing. . Nathan Willialfi MacChesney, who "conducted the Leonard Wood cam paign in Illinois, issued the following statement just before the end of the Illinois campaign. "A vicious attempt to inject the re ligious issue into the presidential pri mary campaign in Illinois has been made during the week by the enemies of Leonard Wood. Cards stating that General Wood is now 'and has been for eighteen years, a trustee of George town University of Washington, Dy. C aCatholic college, tiave been cir , culated throughout the state. This is ' untrue. I am confident that this at tempt to arouse one religious element against another will react against those who have attempted this under handed political Irick. V "General Wood is Protestant and a member of the Episcopal Church. He has thousands of friends, however, among both Protestant and Catholics. The question of a man's religion has no place-in a political campaign and the attenipt to stir up" prejudices of " this sort in the closing dfcys of this campaign, is evidence of a desperate situation. The campaign in behalf of General Wood has been conducted - in a dignified' manner. We have- not attacked Governor Lowden, who is the ) General's only opponent in the presi . dential preference primary. We have devoted our campaign to presenting the qualifications of General Wood to the voters of the state. General Wood himself in Jiis speeches has not en gaged in any personalities or .attacked Governor Lowden or any other candi date. He has confined his-speeches to a discussion of the issues of the day. x "Personally, I am also a Protestant and a member of the Presbyterian Church. s I am also a member of various' Masonic orders and General Wood is also. We are, both members of the Medinah Temple Shrjn, but I have nothing but contempt for the man who attempts to inject the reli- . gious issue into politics. '"In.Rockford, General Wood in his speech said, "I am an Episcopalian and never have been connected with the good work that is being done at Georgetown University. In Cuba, I served many years among Catholic people. I have many friends among them and received at their hands strong support, in handling difficult matters.- That support came from them not as Catholics, but as citizens. 'The "most dangerous politican we have today is the man who goes about the country (trying to gain votes by ar raying and arousing the hatred of one religious--element against J another, striving to gain votes at the cost of national stability.'," General Wood is a member of the' Masonic order.
