Well? If its good for the Baker ts good for t he Homemaker THE VERY HIiGHEST QUA NAMES ON BALLOT BY PARTY Candidates for Excise Board and City Engineer Win Out. JUDGE REDICK DECIDES CASE Court Heolds Statute Involved Must Be Comatra Liberally a In- tent of Legialature Must Be Con: lered. The names of the men nominated by the republican and democratic city committees for the Board of Fire and Police Commis- sioners and city engineer will go upon the ballot as party candidates. Judge Redick granted Saturday morning the mandamus against City Clerk Buder prayed for by the <andidates chosen by the' committees. Judge Redick declared that the statute involved must be construed lMberally and that, first of all, it must be held that it was the plain intent of the legisiature in providing™for primary electidns not to de- prive politickl parties of the right to nominate candidates. Vacancies in the of- fices In question, occurred as soon as the law was enacted making these offices elec- tive. The law provides that vacancles in & party ticket occurring after a primary election shall be filled by the city or county or’ state committess as the case may be. Now, the actual voting at the primary ocourred after the law making the offices elective had been passed. The court held that if the fallure to nominate by either Party at the primary had been in default or omission through negligence, then the ecity committees would have no right to act, for the law speaks only of vacancies after & primary. How to Construe the Law. Since there is & thirty-day provision with 1egard to filing for primary nomination and| since this dates back of the day the lekislature ‘enacted the law, (he primary, sald Judge Redick, must be understood to have been begun thirty days previous « the day voting was actually done. Inter pretjng the law this way It leaves vacancie in party tickets not filled by the voting a the primary, which vacancies the city com mittees have the right to fill. When Judge Redick had ruled granting the mandamus which orders the eity clerk to place on the officlal ballot the names of the ten caudidates in question, the point was raised as to whether the name. g0 on the voting mackine or on an addi tiona! printed baliot. The gourt did no declare himself on fhe question. It was not set forth in the petition for & man damus, City Attorney Burnam and Deputy Attor ney Dunn bave declured that the machine will not include the names of all the forty eight candidates for the Board of Fire and Police Comminsioners. In this they are mistuken as matter of fact. It is not ikely that the names of the party candidates will go on the ma- chine and the independents on the bale lot, and the city com mittees are insistent that those who Wwish to vote a straight ticket, elther on the machine or entirely by ballot, shall have the opportunity. The law in this is Plain and simple, saying, “no voting machine shall be approved unless it is so constructed that it insures every voter so desiring the opportunity to vote & straight party ticket by the operation of a single device (lever).” Elmer Thomas, who appeared in the cases as an infervenor, filed exceptions with Judge Redick as to law and to facts laying particular stf®ss on a offering to prove that the old committee of the republican paftty was without authority and that the democratic committee acted without a quorum. Judge Redick over- ruled this on the ground that the law states that objections to certificates of nomination must be flled aithin three days. Thomas cdmpleted his record for ap- peal in the afternoon and expected to go to Lincoln to be heard by the supreme court Monday evening.

Eager of | Shearon of Many There to Smoke, Though the delegates present entitled to & vote numbered only thirty-six. there were more than 100 veterans who attended the meeting and participated In the smoker dur- Mg the afternoon, while the wives of the veterans were entertainéd by the women on the local reception committee. ‘While the delegates were in executive ses- sion passing upon the rules of the new or- ganisation, which were later adopted, other veterans who were not delegates passed their time in the lobby of the hotel swap- ping war talk. Thomas E. Langdon of North Bend, who. was shot nine times while in the Philip- pines, came very near breaking his neck when he saw Chaplain Mallley of the First Nebraska. He rushed over to meet him and recalled to the chaplain his identity. “I know you,] said the chaplain, “you were wounded ahd occupled the second cot from. the side door of the hospital.” “That ls exactly where I was located.” replied Langdon, “and I was in there for four months. Chaplain Mailley made all the soidlers happy because he was always able fo get the papers from home and he never failed to bring a bundle to the hos- pital,” sald Langdon. Object of the Meeting. The object of the meeting, which had been called by Provistonal Commander Pheips, was to perfect a department or- ganization ‘o that the veterans could af- tillate_ with the nationai soclety.

Alleged Forger Has Number of Easy Victims Jim Collins is B—uTto Have Caught Many on His Fancy John Hancock. A series of small forgeries, covering a period of six months and involving many grocery stores, saloons and other business houses, is alleged against Jim Collins, the man arrested Saturday by Patrolman Con- nelly and Borto after Fred Amburst, a grocer at Twenty-third and Vinton streets, had cashed a check for him. The county._attorney has already found cases against the man and has drawn up complaints ‘on them, e will probably file them in police court Tiesday morning. Besides Amburst the police say there are many other victims of Collins' ability as a signer of checks. Chief of Detectives e says that among the storekeeperh and business houses where the man has secured money on checks are the following: George H. Wachter, saloon, Bixteenth and Martha streets; O. E. Johnson, grocer, 23 Bouth Twentieth street; ¥ritz Belmer, 733 South Sixteenth street; John Nettler, 3223 Bouth Twenty-fourth street; Reed Bros., grocers, 2028 Leavenworth street; Hayden Bros, Sixteenth and Dodge streets. At the Wachter saloon Collins Is said to have cashed a, $12 check. Grocer Johnson let go of $11 on a 14 check, according (o the police, while Gollins secured the change from & $6 check at the Amburst grocery Saturday after buying a_pound of butter. | The other amounts were also small. It is belleved that Collins 1s not the man's real name, but he refuses to tell the police and will not give his address. He makes no confession in any of the cases. Ataxin No Longer curable. The Minneapolis Tribune says that J. L. Blodgett, president of the Marshtield Nov- elty company of that city, has recently: re- turned, fully recovered from several years slege of locomotor ataxia, with locomotion perfectly restored.

R. FARBER ON ZIONISM is No Doubt of the ey Teach of This “The practicabllity of Zionism I8 not Aoubted among the people who have given it some study,” declared Dr. R. Farber In a lecture Sunday evening to the Zionists of Omaha. “Zionism has accomplished more for the Jewlsh nation in the fen or twelve years of its modéern existence than any other movement of the past. It has caused Jowry through the world to awaken and see what is about it. It has been the factor which has brought about unity in a weasure where nono existed. Zlonism has shown the world that Jew is not yeét dead, nor is he ready to dle. That he Ix sl alive and that the flag which has been packed away for so many eenturies 1s not yet surrendersd, but that it shall wave once more undor the heavens of a united Israel. The fact that the Jews hava been so mistreated throughout the cen’ turles gone by, and still retain thefr iden- tity Is due to thelr careful home religlous education and training. The traditions. of old Is what kept this old wandering people In existence. It Is that which kept them surviving, though they were burned at the stake and tortured with untold agonies. And it is this which must\be done now in order to bring about a rehabilitation of our people—instruct the new and young genera- tion_in our old Jewish history and religion."
