LUST THREATENS
r HOME, BISHOP
TELLSSTUDENTS
Boys and Girls Too Free With
Themselves, Episcopal Pre
lateSays in University
Address.
Lincoln, June 6. (Special.)
Bishop E. V. Shayler of the Episco
pal diocese of Nebraska, addressing
- the students of the University of Ne
braska Sunday morning, asserted
that the American home is in danger
and thaf the marriage relations are
too lightly regarded. Excerpts from
his address follow:
"No human institution is as impor
tant as the home. The values of a
city are in proportion to its homes.
The values of a ation are 'in no
sense superior to its homes. i
'The very first place in which God
5s realized, in which personality may
be developed, is in the home.
"It is so elemental thati it seems
hardly necessary to say that every
thing else in our civilization rests
upon the home; that all public
achievement rests upon private char
acter; that the nation can not make
progress nor even survive unless the
average American is a pretty decent
fellow and unless his wife is a still
better fellow.
Home Is in Danger.
"Absolutely nothing is gained by
tilline a man with vague ambitions
for the betterment of himself or his
kind, unless you have filled him
fkt of all with the desire to do de
cently with those members of man
kind who are in his home.
"The. American home is in dan
ger. Lust and lieense, disregard of
honor and the degradation of wom-
aohood by themselves and by men,
threaten it. Marriage is regarded
in the light of a fool romance, or
at best as a mutual contract to be
nlAti will nf nnp. instead
of ai entrance into a new state oH
lifelwhich fundamentally can never
be Voided, juggle it as you may.
When a man lives in the state of
Nebraska he can never void the fact
even though he may migrate to
Kansas or Kamchatka, later.
Is Against Flats.
"Child-beanhg and child-rearing
are practiced only in the best of
families. An average of three chil
dren there must be in every family
if the race is to survive. The flat
and the club and hotel life are not
encouraging large families. The boys
and girls are the hope of the nation.
There is no hope or home for those
who have them not.
"T,he virtues of the hbme are:
' Virtue, love, co-operation, devotion.
The homeless man rarely has ,any
of these. The danger of today may
be noted that virtue is often at at dis
count; that in the public and youth
ful estimate, modesty of action has
given place to puhlic gush and
maudlin passioning. The thought of
the other is often the last thought.
We are here to be ministered unto,
but not to minister, so one would
judge. Devotion is rarer than we
would have it. v
About Good Homes. 1
"I am wondering how many of
you have been reared in godly
homes, where a virtuous mother and
honorable father have gladdened
their years of toil and drudgery by
the thought that they would make a
good, well-educated man or woman
out of you. WheYe they have pinched
and are pinching today, in good
clothing, leisure, pleasure, that your
four years' work in the university
might be years , with consequent
honor and opportunity.
"How have you repaid it? Have
you returned that love and devotion?
Have their hearts been lifted by the
showing of the only co-operation
you could show in a thoughtful devotion?"

GRADUATES TOLD
TO INJECT PLENTY
OF PEP IN LIFE
Smile and Be Confident of
Yourself, Is Advice Given
By Preacher to High School
Finishing Classes.
Central High school graduating
seniors, who will be graduated at the
general commencement exercises
Saturday night at the auditorium, at
tended the baccalaureate seftmon by
Dr. Frank G. Smith at the First
Congregational church, Thirty-sixth
and Harney streets, yesterday morn
ing. Approximately all of the 250
members of the class were present.
Miss Jessie M. Towne, dean of girls
and senior class teacher, and Prin
cipal J. G. Masters attended the
sermon with the students.
.The Commerce High students at
tended the graduating sermon at
the First Methodist church. Twen
tieth and Davenport streets. The
sermon was delivered by the Rev.
Titus Lowe. Both groups of stu
dents wore gray caps and gowns.
"The Fundamental Factor In an
Achieving1 Life" was the theme of
Dr.'Smith's sermon. But in his talk
to the graduates he spoke of more
than one factor.
"I can still remember my grad
uating sermon," said Dr. , Smith.
"The keynote of it was 'plan your
work, then work your plan.' I pass
that on to you. When you go into,
the outside world, in any walk of
life, you can best get along by plan
ning and working systematically.
If you do not plan your work, it will
be like an old desk in which every
thing is thrown around, and you
can't find anything when you want it.
If you do not work your plan, but
just remark how nice a plan it is,
well, then, your plan is worth
nothing to you.
"You are now going through an
age in which you will start, I can
honestly say, 95 per cent of. your
habits. This is true of all who are
between the ages of fourteen to
twenty-one." '
Faith to oneself is an important
faetor in one's life, according to Dr.
Smith. Not the faith in one's self
which makes him egotistical, but
the faith that makes him just con
fident that he can do the things he
has set out to do.
"Work is one of the best of
things. Work hard and meet life.
Be optimistic. Life will not be an
easy road to travel. There will be
many rough spots, many tempta
tions which you will have to over
come and which you will be able
to overcome if you work hard.
"Above all have faith in human
ity. I have never had a mart go
back on me when I have tested
him. I always find that it pays to
have faith in humanity. Next to
having faith in yourself, have faith
in God."

PREDICTS CHANGE
IN ATTITUDE UPON
SOLDIERS' BONUS
Assistant Secretary Lef f ingwell
Makes Public Letters From
Ex-Service Men.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, June 6. That ex
service men who have advocated
bonus legishHion will change their
views, was predicted by Assistant
Secretary of Treasury Leffingwell
today. Mr. Leffingwe.il made public
correspondence with an unnamed
former service man who wrote se
verely criticizing him for a speech
in which he condemned bonus legis
lation. The treasury official replied
to the man and then received a letter
apologizing for ill-considered re
marks. "The government of the UnttJ
States has been called upon to
raise 3,500,000,000 since the dec
laration of war," said Mr. Leffing
well in his lefter.
"The people of the United States
have provided two-thirds of this
vast sum in loans to their govern-
Miient and one-third in taxes and
miscellaneous revenue. The gov
ernment levied surtaxes running as
high as 65 per cent upon, incomes
and as high as 80 ,per cent upon
war profits and excess brofits.
"Upwards of 20,000,000 American
citizens subscribed for liberty bonds
and 'victory notes, and have seen
the value of their holdings shrink
in the investment"- markets to a
maximum of IS per cent in conse
quence of the inordinate demands
for capital and credit growing out
of the great war.
"'The people of America are
struggling under the burden of the
war debt and the war taxes. Nec
essary projects for social welfare
and for the development of indus
try are held in abeyance for lack
of capital and credit. Our banks
are loaded down with holdings of
and loans upon government war se
curities. In these circumstances
forv the government to attempt to
raise the vast sum demanded by
the bonus would spell disaster
disaster because of the inevitable
further shrinkage in value of the
outstanding securities of the gov
ernment, the inevtitable added load
of taxes, the inevitable denial of
credit for necessary purposes and
the inevitable increase in the cost
of living."

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
New York, June 6. Participants
in the financial markets decided last
week that the pending republican
convention had thrown a mantle of
dullness over business which could
hardly be removed until policies and
a candidate had been selected.
Hence, the most sluggish stock
market trading since the forepart of
last year, when doubt over the ef
fects of war upon industry were
most prevalent
Political uncertainties, however,
were by no means the only factors
acting to check dealings. The un
derlying matters in credit and in
dustry were exactly the same as the
week before. It is to be expected
that either or both major political
parties will go to some length elab
orating theories how the cost of liv
injf may be reduced and the credit
structure drawn down in spots.
Bit before the people will have
opportunity to support or oppose
particular economic programs, the
country will have gone some dis
tance in answering current problems
under the direction of natural laws.
Trend Contlnuew ttou-dwnrd.
The trade reviews note that while signs
of hysteria are disappearing among mer
chants, nevertheless the trend of prices
donlinues downward. Storks of merchan
dise carried over the usual season of dis
tribution are being centralized and dis
posed of In relay operations of unusual
magnitude at lower than listed quota
tions. Thji April foreign trade figures allow
that our balance of merchandise ship
ments aganlst Kngland was ISO.8OO.000
durlnpr the month, compared with $171,
000,000 '.n April of last, year. Our excess
of exports is continuing heavy In con
trast with pre-war years, extraordinarily
heavy in point of values, yet the latest
figures disclose a point which is not to be
Ignored.
The process of selection was evidently
denoted in last week's trading in stocks,
whose advances displayed more than the
short covering of professional specula
tors. The railroad equipment shares, pe
troleum stocks and a number of steel
issues afforded the outstanding examples
of Investment and long range speculative
undertakings.
The publicity given to railroad needs
of rolling stock together with the alloca
tion of many millions of government
funds for such purchases and 'the con
tinued sales of equipment notes were
taken as gujde!osts.
Similar influences marked the oil Is
sues. It was notefl, however, that little
stress was laid upon outlook for higher
prices for stocks.
The reopening of some middle-western
steel plants and an Increase In the num
ber of blast furnaces during the week
Indicated freer transportation conditions.
Hut bank statements showed that free
dom of railroad freight movement had
not reached a point where results of Im
portance were being recorded in the
liquidation of loans on goods in transit
or in storage ready for shipment.
The rise of rediscount rates at the re
serve bank had an Immediate effect upon
liberty bonds and victory note quotations.
A six per cent rate upon a security bear
ing only 44 or, at the most In case of
one issue, i per cent quite naturally
stimulated selling of bonds whose own
ers were receiving accommodation from
banks to carry them,

The cold wave noted last week as
extending over the northwest, has con
tinued through the curxent w'eek, tem
peratures from the Missouri river -north-w'est
to the Pacific coast ranging from
S to 9 degrees below . normal.- Freez
ing temperatures existed over a large dis
trict of the mountain country and some
damage to vegetation is reported. The
lowest temperatures reported in Nebraska
was 38 degrees. '
East of the Missouri river , generally
warm weather prevailed. The conditions
that gave heavy rains In, central. and
northeast Nebraska on May 31. June 1
extended to Kansas, Iowa and Mlssourl on
June 2 and to the Ohio valley June 3.
These rains were heavy. In many places,
approximately two Inches, and In north
east Nebraska produced serious flood
conditions. Throughout . the ftorn and
winter wheat territory, however, the week
shows good progress both In - growth of.
crops and In tillage operations. .
Corn planting, now completed .all of
two weeks later than normal an.d under
generally unfavorable condition as to tem
perature and excessive soil moisture, gen-'
erally promises a comparatively good
stand of plants ft the absence; of positive
complaint from farmers may be so con
strued. Every year there Is some failures
from poor seed, flooding of lowlands, or
washing of rolling land nd' cut worms.
This year there appears to be much less
than the average complaint from losses
In above classes. ,
The spring wheat region . has had a
good week. Minnesota got gootU-rains
In the central and southwestern part,
heavy. In North Dakota the rains were
lighter and part of the state is complain
ing of drought.
The far east, New Tork and. New Eng
land, has had very warm ad dry weather.
Farm work progressed rapidly, but kin
some sections of New York the aoll is
too dry to germinate corn.
Th cotton states report a good week.
Harvesting of oats continues with a good
crop. Cotton is mostly planted, but while
the stand Is generally fair It Is not gdod
enough to give enthusiasm - to -planters,
and the first government report on "plant
ing and condition." Issued last week. 'puts
the crop only a little better than 60 per
cent of normal. Too much-, importance
need not attach to su.'h estimate, however.
A similar estimate of "planting and con
dition" of corn, If made this year for the
same date, would have shown not over 30
per cent of normal. But no one at this
time would hazard n prediction that re
may not produce a full normal corn crop.
An excellent first cutting of alfalfa is
tinder way, the crop being harvested south
of the Kaw In Kansas. ' and the coming
