Landing on Plymouth Rock.
The forthcoming' tercentenary

who can establish relationship to
those who came over on the May

The Native Sons of California,
the First Families of Virginia and

other heroic pilgrims who came to
this country to be free from the au
tocratic rulers of Europe.
Omahans arc rummaging through
their family trees to brush up on
their lineal history and it has been
revealed that the Gate City of the
west has a goodly quota of citizens
who can establish their descendancy
from the Pilgrims.

centenary event next fall by hold
ing an imposing float parade which
will depict scenes of the time of the
Pilgrim Fathers. John L. Webster,

Omaha descendants will ride on the
floats next fall, representing per
sonages who were identified with tre
days of the Pilgrims. -

NO HOPES FOR
ARMY
BONOS
NEXT WINTER
Failure of Party Platforms to
Declare for Legislation De
stroys Chances of Favorable
Action on Part of Congress.
BILL NOW RESTING IN
HANDS OF COMMITTEE
Believe Wilson Would Veto
Measure If It Passed Senate
Republicans and Demo
crats Refused to Indorse It.
Washington, D. C, July 10.
(Special.) All chances of the pass
age of soldiers' bonus legislation
next winter seems to have gone
glimmering.
Failure of the party platforms to
(ieclare for the proposition seems to
hr.ve destroyed all hopes of favora
ble action by congress.
Supporters of the bonus bill had
relied implicitly on the political
conventions taking a stand pn the
subject. They had gone on the the
ory that political pressure from the
ex-service men would be so strong
that both parties would be sure to
declare for some form of adjusted
comnensation. With the political
parties back of the proposal pass
age of a bill in the next esssion
would have been made likety.
The soldiers' bonus bill as
passed by. the house a week before
the recent adjournment is pending
in the senate committee on finance.
The' senate finance committee has
given the bill no consideration and
may prefer to allow it to slumber
without action t during the coming
session. Officers of the American
legion, however, are certain to agi
tate and probably will force the
committee to report the bill to the
fioor of the senate.
Wilson Would Veto.
.Even in case the bill in some mi
raculous manner should get
through the senate and a confer
ence report is approved by both
houses its veto by President Wil
son is considered certain. The ad
ministration's view of the proposal
has been made clear through a let
ter sent by Secretary of the Treas
ury Houston to the house ways and
means committee flatly opposing
sny bonus legislation, and also by
the attitude of the administration
spokesmen ab San Francisco in the
drafting of the platform.
Both the republican and demo
cratic platforms declare for proper
treatment of the ex-service men, but
both carefully avoid any specific
mention of either the cash bonus
scheme or any forms of adjusted
compensation designed to aid those
who suffered no founds.
The republican platform pledges
the party "to discharge to the full
est the obligations which a grateful
nation justly should fulfill in ap
preciation of the services rendered
by its defenders on sea, and land."
Plank Unfavorable.
This much of the plank in the re
publican platform would appear to be
broad enough to cover any form
of bonus legislation. However, the
plank goes on to declare that "liberal
legislation for the care 'of the dis

DOCTOR HENRY
WRITES AGAIN
ABOUT WOMEN
Aged Omaha Physician, Who
Divorced Wife for Young
Girl, Puts Female In
Her Place.
The "Female of the Species" is
again the subject chosen by Dr. W.
O. Heriry, formerly of Omaha, in a
new literary effort, entitled "Wo
man" or "Her Place in the Economy
of Nature and God's Plan For Her."
Dr. Henry, who recently secured
a divorce in Los Angeles after a
sensational trial in which he affirmed
his love for a young Omaha nurse,
declared "it would seem that woman
was made for man in order to do
some things in connection with him
which he could not do alone, such as
establishing a home."
Husband Should Rule.
He is against the omission of the
word "obey" in the marriage cere
mony and quotes the scripture to
prove the husband should rule over
the wife.
"No true woman can ask or want
a higher or more honorable position
than God gives her and requires man
to accord her," he says.
Place Is in Home.
He still insists the woman's place
h in the home, however, declaring
that "when woman strives to do the
work of men, -take the man's place
in the home, the state, the business
world or the church, they are step
ping down from their high and holy
calling to lose the highest and best
of which they are capable, to gain
lower honor in the class where they
do not belong and for which they
were, never intended.
"Please notice that the scriptures
do not allow any man to have' five
or six wives in succession and as
sume little or no responsibility for
any of them, if he only takes one at
a time, as is so popular in high soci
ety, church and state," continued Dr.
Henry, in a discussion of how a man
should treat his wife or wives.
