LITTLE FUN WITH BURKET1
sam Blythe Cracks Some at EH-
pense OF Nebraska's Senior
Senator.

Nebraska's senior senator, Elmer Jacob
Burkett, is the subject of the weekly
lampoon of Who's Who, and Why" In
the current issue of the Saturday Even
ing Post. The article characterizes SEN
ator Burkett as 'The Father of Mothers
Day." and further charges him with seek
ing to close the postoffices on Sunday
through senatorial enactment, SO boys and
girls would have no place to flirt.
ION that notable occasion when Senator
Burkett was TREMENDOUSLY protesting that
he was not, is not and never shall be
puerile, the same intimatfon having been
conveyed to Senator Burkett by that
genial, kindly old party, Senator Teller
of Colorado, to say nothing Of ~animadver-
sion to the same general effect by Senator
Fulton OF Oregon, and a few whitening
cracks by Senator Gallinger Of New
Hampshire, phrasing 1t as did Senator
Burkett himself says the author, San
Blythe.
Blythe tells in his fine style how Burkett
launched forth into his senatorial careei
as the champion of white carnations ant
Sunday lids for postoffices, giving the
senator the benefit of many OF his native
auibs and jibs. On this postoffice mattel
the author says:
Another time he moved forward to tn
firing line, when he opposed the openint
of postoffices on Sunday so citizens nigh
be able to get their mail. strong arsu
ment he made, too. He said that wheI
the postoffioes are opened on SUNDAY TN
boys and girls go to the postoffice ant
fiirt. He was against that. He wanted q
stop it. To be sure he didn't win. but M
planted the seed. Wherefore. we may ex

You see, Elmer Jacob Burkett Is an in

NURSES CHkFE UNDER RULES
Young WOmen at Methodist Hospital
Make Threats of Quitting
Unless Relieved.

Objection among the nurses at the Metho-
dist hospital to the rigid rules imposed on
them since the new building was occupied
has led TO friction which threatens to re-
suit in a walkout of the nurses Thursday
morning Mrs. Lucia Rider Meyer of Chi
cago, superintendent of the Chicago Train
ing School for Nurses and a member Of
the general board of deaconesses work in
the church. arrived in Omaha and It is
said her visit has some connection with
the trouble among the nurses.
Since the hospital moved into the new
building at Thirty-siKth and Cunning
streets, Miss Anderson. superintendent of
nurses, has made more stringent regula-
ions than were necessary in the old his
pital. The new rules do not meet with the
favor of the nurses and they are threaten
ing to go on a strike unless the rules are
less severe. Some OF them, II is under
stood. have also objected to the table
board they are receiving.
Mrs. Mclaughlin, superintendent OF the
hospital, is of the opinion all friction will
be allayed without any serious conse-
quences,
II do not look for anything serious
she said Thursday. $50 far nothing has
come to me officially, and unless the dis
satisfaction is more widespread than l
think It is the trouble will pass in a few
days. The nurses have made no demands
on me and we have had no meetings or
negotiations of any kind with them. Mrs.
Meyer came from Chicago this morning
and I did not know she was here until
she ~telephoned me she was at the depot.
She did not come at my request and l do
not think any OF the nurses have asked
her to come. She has wanted to visit the
new hospital for a long time and / think
she has just taken this opportunity to
come
There are about fifty nurses in the train
ing school connected with the hospital,
but how widespread among these the dis
satisfaction is the hospital authorities pro-
fessed not 20 know.

the way express employees and drivers

he has seen as many as six or eight
chickens out of a grateful MANNED OF
