The Jaw and your wife agree now that an automobile ride with a wom an whose reputation bears question ing "ain't for no good." No longer will the word "philan thropy" explain satisfactorily to the law, any more than to your wife, the reason you took that "hussy" from one town to another was be cause you met her in the road and she looked tired and worn out. The law, under a senate file passed in the lower house on third reading today, says just what your wife said: "Leave her alone. Let her walk." In other words, the transference of a woman of ill-repute from one town to another not only makes you liable for weeks of explaining at home, but in the event someone .wishes to make a complaint you are faced with the necessity of presenting the "burden of truth" to a skeptical court thart "philanthropy" and nothing else ac tuated j ou in "making room for her." Oh boyl The women are helping make the laws and are voting these days. Omaha Charter Bill Is Passed by House By Vote of 89 to 4 Lincoln, April 13. (Special.)

"Alfalfa John," one of the four who voted against the bill, wanted it returned to the committee of the whole for specific amendments again, namely the Smith municipal milk station and the numerous S. Arian Lewis amendments. "The fact of the matter is that "Bread Bill" Smith is the only mem ber of the Omaha delegation who represents the people of Omaha," "Alfalfa John" said. But the "Alfalfa John" mo-.on was voted down by a big viva voce vote by a house tired of dealing witi. the never-ending troubles which Omaha has brought to the legisla ture for settlement this year. , Legion Boxing Measure Reported Out in Senate Lincoln, April 13.
