City-County Block
Urged by Official
As Economy Plan
New Building on Courthouse
i Site With .Storerooms on
First Floor Would He
, ducq Expenses.
Frank Dewey, county tfrrk,' who
rrtvned recently from isliingtofl,
D. C, brought with him several
classy ideas for the use of the coun
ty of Douglas and city of Omaha.
One of these is the immediate
erection of a "twin" building to the
present court house. The building
would occupy the Karnam street side
of the court house square.
My idea is to erect thus building
for, a city hall," said Mr. Dewey.
"Mr. Howell is asking two floors in
the present city hall for the use of
Iiis water and gas enterprises.
"It is impossible to, give him that
much space in the old building and
still leave enough room lor other
city offices. I They arc talking about
-expending thousands of dollars to
revise the building so' as to provide
room for these offices.' And Com
missioner Zimman is trying to palm
off his old Harney street fire station
for a water and gas office.
"We ought to take the bull by the
' horns right away and build for the
' future. These makeshifts will not
be a good investment. '
"Now suppose the city and per
haps the county together erect this
twin building on the court house
square. That will provide'plenty of
room for. years to come. The pres
ent city hall building and site can
be ,solu for enough to pay probably
ha4f the cost of erecting the new
building."
Plans Rent System.
Another city improvement advo
cate with original ideas has suggest-
C(t that the new building be erected
with Store rooms on the ground
floor.
"These Jtould be rented out to
stores," he -V'd. "The rental space
on the ground floor is so high that it
ought not to be wasted in county
or- city offices which are just as well
situated on upper floors.'- I believe
the ground floor of such a building,
Jt hvided into stores, would have a
rental value of $100,000 a year, which
would be more than enough to pay
the interest oh the cost of the build
. ing." v ' "
The other big idea which Mr.
Dewey 'brought home from the east
is a solution of the market house
problem.
i - would raise the floor of the City
Auditorium so that it would be at
the level of the lower part of the
present balcony. Or, in other words,
I would build a new floor at that
level.
Would Provide Market Place.
"This would not decrease the seat
ing space of the Auditorium materi
ally, as it would cut out only that
iart of the available space which is
it present under the balcony, a part
that never is filled with chairs, any
way. .
"Then I would use the main floor.
of the present Auditorium for the
city market house I would divide
it into squares and stalls and would
rent these out to people at fixed ren
tals. "They do that in the cityt)f Wash
ington "and. the city makes a good
thing out of it, and the people have
a wonderful market Tioiisc, where
they can buy all kinds of eatables
at moderate prices."
Swelled Heads in London;
;. " Says Science to Blame
London, Nov. 13. That Londoners
' heads' are getting wider and bigger
than ever hitherto known is the as
sertion of Prof. Parsons, lecturer
to the British association, at Cardiff.
Inquiries among hatters and
phrenologists about London prove
this to be true.
, Cuthbertsons, the well-known hat
ters, said that up to a few years
ago it was very rarely that they had
to supply a hat over 6XA or 6-, but
now it is nothing unusual to have to
have a special hat made for cus
tomers at sizes over 7yi.
Mrs. Stacpool P'Dell, London's
foremost phrenologist, said:
"Men are beginning to think more
than formerly; science is, making
wonderful progress, and men are
having to think and observe more
than they used to.
"If you develop your muscles they
will get larger; if you begin to think
more your brain gets larger, and the
skull must give way to the brain,
therefore increasing the size of the
head." ,
North Dakota Is Setting
High Record In Baby Crop
Devil's Lake, N. D., Nov. 13. Ba
bies will be a big cropin North
Dakota this year. A bumper, yield
of future citizens already has been
harvested. The Grim Reaper, on the
other hand, has gathered only a few
meagre sheaves in odd fence corners.
J The quarterly report of the State
Board of Health shows 1,022 births
in the state, against only 295 deaths
in June; 1.238 births, against 366
deaths in May, and 962 births against
476 deaths in April.
"The doddering old fool with the
glass and scythe will have to get a
whetstone and show more pep if he
wants to stay in business in North
- Dakota," said the secretary of the
board. "The climate conduces to
longevity. Life and health are in the
prairie air. OrrTy 73 persons died of
tuberculosis throughout the state jn
the three months covered by the re
port. Whereas there an area of
similar extent on the American con-
" tinent that can beat that record?"

Woman Voter Keeps Vow
of 20 Years, Smokes Cigar
Lewiston. Me., Nov. 13. This is a
suffrage story.
- A woman, aged about 75, walked
into a local drug stare. She said to
the clerk: ' '
"Give me a good cigar.
' Next she asked for a light.
' To a query from the amazed drug
clerk, the woman said:
"Twenty years ago I vowed that
if I had the chance to vote I would
smdke a cigar. Now I am going to
do it if it kills me."
She walked out of the store puff
ing the cigar.
Wife's Love for Husband
Won't Influence Her Vote
Suffragette Leaders Brand as' Piffle the Idea That
Ball6t Is Now Barometer of Wifely Affec-tion-They
Will Use Their
Own' Minds.
Written for tha InternaMniiat Newt
Service
By MARGERY REX.
JfeW York, Nov. 13. According to
Dr. Edward tram Reede of Wash
ington, the ballot is the barometer
f wifely affection, and the woman
who loves her husband as every
flood wife should, will vote as her
bpouse does. '
In the course of his remarks Dr.
Reede, v. ho is a well known neurolo
gist, says of the modern wife:
"If she folds political views con-
I trary to liiPshe consciously or sub-
consciously feel.- antagonism toward
nun. .
"The woman who loves her hus
band romantically has an 'denttiica
tion of interests with his. She is one
with him in everything she is a

reasons for being a democrat, but
subconsciously she could be nothing'
else. To her this man she loves is a
fountain of wisdom and she concedes
the superiority of his judgment in
politics as in everything else.
This, of course, leads to the an
cient and honorable question, 'What
is love? which is even harder to de
cide than why are some candidates.
Dr. Brill's Opinion.
Dr. A. A. Brill, eminent psycho
analyst, on being consulted by the
writer, in search of truth and opm
ions, partially agreed with the neu
rologist of the capital, yet modified
his assent to some degree.
"Of course, from the few .things
the doctor says I cannot fully judge
what he means," said Dr. Brill re
cently. "It depends largely on what
we mean when we speak of a, 'wo
man who loves her husband.'
"If he refers to the Romeo-Juliet
type of intense, excessive, mad love,
then he is right. That sort of love
causes two hearts to 'beat as one'
?.nd each agrees completely with the
other. Each personally envelops the
other.
"But it seems that the matter of
voting today would be more or less
extraneous. There are mary women
in this city, active politically, who
love their husbands or tiiink they
love their husbands, perhaps, and
really do insofar as we know. They
vote differently, though. 1 hei love
is not that type of the very young
and ardent lovers, who belong com
pletely to each other.
"Therefore the doctor's idea would
not apply here. But in all things we
find exceptions.
Dr. Reede, I understand, says that
if a girl has an ideal love for her
father, that is. regards him as her
ideal of masculine perfect:on, or, on
the other hand, has a secret antag
onism for him, either quanty is trans
ferred at her marriage to her hus
band, who thereafter is either the
object of her admiration or antip
athy, just as her father was. In that
he is right.
"I do not believe, though, that the
matter cf a wife casting her lot with
a party opposed by her husband
would mean that such a state of an
tagonism existed or had bren passed
on from her father to her husband."
Women Make Denial.
Indignant declaration? from prom
inet women voters haveyless scien
tific value than Dr. Brill's state
ments, but come so to speak, "from
the heart out."
"For 18 years," says Mrs. Rose
Bres, lawyer and suffragist, "I have

while I have been a strong adherent

fully together. We disagree in many
things, but I think the woman who
votes always just as her husband
does is a voting nonenity.
"Anv woman who is at all inter-
I ested in civic affairs is able to think
out how to vote."
"We women have traveled alone
up the steep hill to get our vote."
interposed Mrs. Bres, "and I guess
we can make our stand without
man's support, now that we are on
the smooth plain of victory.
"I don't agree with Dr. Reede at
all. Love for country has nothing to
do with love for husband. It is as
different as the love of a mother for
a child, compared with that of a
woman for a man.

'The woman who loves her coun
