Sharp Pointed
Bills Cheeked
Up to Senators
"Safety Valve" of Legislature
Face. Strenuous Job Dur
ing Closing Days of
Session.
Lincoln, Neb.. March 19. (Spe
cial.) rouble faces the state sen
ate in the closing days of the session,
as practically all the sharp-pointed
bits of legislation are now checked
up to that small body, often called
the "safety valve" of the legislature.
. The house has disposed of movie
censorship. The senate must grappls
with it in the near future. The wom
an lobby will be in the senate insist
ing upon censorship and if that body
proves as vulnerable to telcgrutns
and female attack as the lower house
did, censorship will be checked up
to Governor McKelvie.
The house also has wiped its hands
of the Douglas county primary bill
and the bill repealing nonpartisan
election of the judiciary Jioth of
these measures have been labeled
"handle with care" by voters of the
state.
.Senate File No. 65, representing the
administration's attempt to live 'ip
to campaign propaganda to put a
better tax on intangibles must re
ceive the attention of the senate in a
"short time.
The Smim bread hill probably
will come up for third reading. in the
senate Monday. The baker lobby
is still on the job after numerous
defeats in attempting to tack amend
ments to the bill and something
might happen to this bill before its
final passage.
The Cronin bond bill has passed
the senate. It is a "handle with care
proposition the house must dispose
of in a short time. The bill pro
vides that the state raise funds to
bond its officers as well as county
officers.
Everything indicates that the house
will pass the co-operative bank bill
1 on third reading as there was little
opposition to it last week when it
''went through on third reading. That,
too. will soon be checked up to the
senate for final disposal.

By MABEL WARNER RUGG.
IF not another thing "gets across"
from these articles, I want one
thing at least to stand out. I
want to convince the "hobo" public
that the Almighty was not so unfair
as to center all the brains in the bod
ies of a few men; that many another
man could "be an Edison, a Rocke

"right rules."
By the 'holxj" public I mean the
individuals who sit around brooding
over the contention the world owes
them a living, but who feel it no duty
of theirs to collect.
, Factors of Success.
There are. of course, several fac
tors mat enter into (inferences .ne
tween a successful man and an un
successful one. There is no doubt
but that some people are unusually
talented and that some have been ex
tremely fortunate in their "get

early environment, school advan
tages, etc., do not account altogether
for the alarming number of unhappy,
unsuccessful people.
Evfcry man wfio stands out as a
"shining light" in his Hue bf - en
deavor shows his iunateN fitness for
that particular work.
"Many a man possesses 1,000 acres
of possibilities, but has only half an
acre under cultivation." It is only
by doing work for which one feels
a driving enthusiasm that one uses
even half his energy. And how can
one feel an intense interest in some
thing for which he lias no natural
liking?

Paying Building Taxes
Lincoln, March 19. (Special.)
The fact that the Lincoln city Y. M.
C. A. uses part of its building for
secular purposes to raise money that

the institution of the right to be
exempt from taxes as "exclusively
for religious, educational or charit
able purposes."
This is the argument of attorneys
for the association, in a brief filed
in the Nebraska supreme court Sat
urday, in defense of the order of the
Lancaster county district court hold

pealed the finding to supreme court.

Senator Norris
Heads Committee
On Agriculture
(Appointment Follows Prece
dent of Seniority; Ranking
Member Refuses to
Give Up Position.
Washington. D. C, March 19.
(Special Telegram) Senator Nor
ris, ranking member on the com
mittee on agriculture in the upper
house of congress, has been selected
as chairman of the committee by the
committee on committees of the re
publican caucus.
There was no other solution to
the question of committee chairman
ship, if the time-old precedent of
scnurity was to be followed. Senator
Norris won the chairmanship as a
right and to displace him for sonic
oilier senator would , have started
a row in the senate that would not
have been a marker to 'the war the
junior senator of Nebraska, then a
member of the house, made on the
manner in which committees were
appointed way back in the Sixty-Sec
ond congress.
Senator Norris "brought about a
change from speaker domination in
that fight that has continued until
row, a similar committee on commit
tees assigning members to commit
tees in the house just as the senate
committee on committees has nearly
finished its work of readjustments to
take care of the new senators whose
activity will begin with the extra
ordinary session of the Sixty-Seventh
congress on April ! 1.
Efforts were made on the part of
Certain senators from the urban sec
tions nf the country to induce Sen
ator Page, the ranking member on
the committee on agriculture, to take
the chairmanship of the committee
and forego the chairmanship of the
naval affairs committee in order to
beat Senator Norris, who stood next
to Senator Page in seniority on the
committee. Senator Page, however,
refused to give up his committeeship
on naval affairs, and, in consequence,
the committee on committees had
nothing else to do but assign Senator
Norris to the chairmanship of the
committee, with which he has been
connected since he entered the sen
ate. Senator Norris .who is belter phys
ically than he has been in months
and w'ho is rapidly recovering from
his nervous breakdown, was the re
cipient of many congratulations to
day over the action of the commit
tee on committees in assigning him
to the chairmanship of the agricul
tural body. ,
