 The consumers of imported wines pud liQuors will have to pay a heavier price for their drinks in the future. Properly con- sidering these articles as luxuriss, Congress in the new tariff law has imposed duties higher than ever before applied. says . Washington letter to The Chicago Tribune.
 Thus further protection has been accord cd to the wine and liquor interests of the United States, which 1t is expected wifi lead to a greater consumption of domestic production. It Is estimated also that more revenue will be derived from this source as result of the enforcement of the new law.
 Except on soft drinks and mineral waters every article included in the schedule deal- ing with spirits. wines and other beverages has been subjected to an increased rate of duty. Champagne furnishes an excellent illustration of the course pursued by Con- gress with respect to this schedule.

I'm my opinion, the nonpartisan judiciary

chairman OF the republican state COM

noon.
AT the republican state committee meet
Ing to be held next Tuesday the question
of attacking the law will be discussed and
no doubt some move will be taken. As
chairman of the committee I would be will
ing to call a convention for the nomination
of supreme judges and regents of the Uni
versity Of Nebraska. Then some member
of the committee or someone else could
file an injunction suit. Probably IL would
be the duty OF the attorney general to file
the suit. In this way the case could be
brought to the attention of the court.

One Year.

Hoard C. Baskerville. the young Amer
lean missionary slain a few days ago in a
battle at Tabriz, Persia, between the ma

the uprising against the Christians, was
formerly a student at Bellevue college and
his untimely death is mourned by his
friends in the college town.
Young Baskerville was a student at the
college but one year, 1923, but in that
short time made many friends and a
record as a student and stood especially
high in his Bible studies. The records in
the secretary's office show that he never
'%'flunked" and his rating on all studies
was good.
Three brothers of the missionary at
tended Bellevue college after Hoard left to
60 to Princeton for additional training be-
fore leaving for Persia.
One brother is Charles r. Baskerville,
until recently pastor of the Presbyterian
church at Inman, Neb. Before taking this
pastorate the young man took a short
course In the Mccormick Theological semi
nary in Chicago. He Is now at Princeton.

Week of Fasting
for the Boosters
Business Men Forget to Allow for
Meals on Trade Excursion Seized
ule and Must GO Hungry.

Wholesalers. grain dealers and members
of the South Omaha Live Stock exchange
who are going on a trade excursion through
western Iowa May II to p, have decided
to fast during the trip.
The official schedule was published on
Thursday and it was found that no time
had been allowed for eating. though two
dining cars had been ordered. j. NJ. Guild,
commissioner Of the club. was dispatched
to Chicago to see how the Northwestern
commlssary department could arrange to
carry a party which did not have time to
eat and what kind Of dining car service
could be arranged on the "Uneeda Quick
Lunch" plan.
With only five TO seven miles between
stations in Iowa the eXcursionists would
not have time to eat as they did In Wyo-
ming last year, where they travelled from
fifteen to thirty-five miles without a stop.
This the schedule committee forgot and
made out the trip without a single oppor-
tunity to eat. 1t Is now up to the North
western company to fix up LIQUID foods or
something which can be taken while the
excursionists are on the march.

Railroads concerned an the Belt line

After deciding oIce, just a year ago, that
the Missouri Pacific could not clip off sew
cral miles from the Omaha switching dis
trlct and put i'm the regular tariff rates,
the commission has decided to hear the
same company make another plea for the
right to chop off five or six miles of
trackage which is now in the switching
district and put the tariff rates into ef-
feet. II means shippers will pay three to
four times as much for moving cars as at
present,
since the stock feeders have taken an
interest the railroads are a little doubtful
as to whether they better insist on elm
mating the switching schedules. or not
-Four stock feeders who ship a large num-
Der of cattle and sheep have given notice
they will route their stock over any other
roads but the Burlington or Missouri Pa

switching charges.
Factories in Ralston, which ship large
amounts of pig iron and other materials
from the east. as well as shipping their
finished products west, will join the ship

the roads which would make Omaha's
shipping district smaller.

TREES PLANTED FOR HERoNEs
High School seniors I~nRuEurate
Practice of Planting One Tree
Each Year ON This
Great Day.

An impressive ceremony incident TO Arbor
day and practiced for the first time
in this part Of the country was observed
Thursday afternoon at Fontanelle park in
the planting of three memorial trees in
honor Of women distinguished for their
patriotism and loyalty to the great work
of the woman's Relief corps.
The three women thus honured were
Anna wittenmeyer. an army nurse during
the civil war: Mother Bickendyk, the noted
army nurse OF the western armies during
the civil war, and Past National President
Lisabeth A. Turner of the woman's Relief
corps.
The proceedings were begun with a for
NAL ceremony at Magnolia han. Twenty

the auspices Of Crook corps, with Grant
and Custer corps participating, at 2;31
This included addresses appropriate to the
occasion by Mrs. J. c. Miller. Mrs. 7. l.

mum tag indicating IN whose honor it was
planted, and as each tree was placed in the
ground a short sketch of the person in
whose honor IT was planted was given by
those delegated to plant the separate trees.
Observance by chooI
Last year the only trees planted in
Omaha on public ground we're by the
school children of the Train and Beals
schools in the suburbs. One tree each was
planted by the schools. This year that
number was cut in two and but one tree
was planted by a school. This was by
the senior class of the high school. with
appropriate exercises. The graduating
classes have never before planted a tree.
but the class of 1909 secured permission to
inaugurate the idea and in the future it
is probable that every graduating class
from the Omaha High school will on Arbor
day plant one tree as a monument to the
body of young men and women who went
through the school.
Copies of a small volume on Arbor day,
! compiled by former Governor Robert w.
Furnas, the first governor Of Nebraska to
issue an Arbor day proclamation, and con-
] tanning many complimentary words from

work started by Mr.. Morton, were sent to

From roadside trees, and his the peoples

DEMOCRATIC BOUQUET FOR JIM
What Constantine ]. Smyth, Former Attorney General anC
Close Friend of Bryan, Says of the Cowboy Mayor,

Il have n personal quarrel with Mayor Dahlman, but when he as
sumes to represent the democratic party ], in common with other DEM
ocrats. have a right to examine his Official conduct and his political
principles for the purpose of determining whether or not he is entitled
to be classed as a representative of my party.
Mr.. Dahlman was originally selected al candidate for mayor by a
coterie of gentlemen representing the franchised and other corporations
of this city. This Is susceptible of easy proof. He has been loyal to
the interests of his creators W. since, yet he pretends to be a friend of
the people.
Instead of seeking to build up the democratic party he has built
up a personal machine advocating a brand of democracy heretofore
unknown to the people of this state, showing clearly that his purpose
has been to benefit himself and not the party.
He took a solemn oath to obey the laws, and then issued a COM
mand to the chief Of police to dsobey the laws and to ignore the ac-
lions of those who violated the laws. This led to the passage of the
Sacket law. which enables any citizen to force the closing not only of
the saloons o n Sunday, but to endanger every innocent out-otdoor sport
that the common people delight III. He claims to be the friend of the
common people, and yet he is unable to point o a single act in his en-
tire administration in support of this claim.
He claims to be the friend of Mr.. Bryan, and yet his conduct has
done Mr.. Bryan moreh harm in the yes OF the clean, Independent voter
than that of any otheI Ocrat in the state
When the uniyea- transfer ordinance came before him for his
approval he turned it down, showing that he wa still loyal to his
projectors the corporations
He pretends to be the friend of the laboring man, yet filled nearly
every position open to skilled labor with nonunion men. When the
Central Labor union protested against this he ignored the protest
He has shown no interest whatever in the great commercial
bodies of the city and cen to be utterly out of sympathy with them.
This is not the way to build up a city.
He claims to love the dear people, and yet he has done everything
in his power to take away from them the right to select their own FIRE
and police board. Why? Simply that he might build up his personal
interests.
Finally, challenge you TO nam a single ct in the entire admin
iSrauon of MI Dahlman which entities him to a single democratic vote"

HENDRIX TR|UMPHS
 OVER ANCIENT FOE
OUACHITA EASILY BEATEN
IGRIDIRON VICTORY SETS HEN DRIX HOOTERS WITH WILD
 WITH JOY.

Unable to repress their joy over the defeat of Ouachita, their old-time foe, in a hard fought gridiron battle yes terday afternoon, Hendrix rooters last night attired themselves in their nightshirts and paraded the streets. Having already worn out their voices at the game, cowbells and every other available noise-making device were re- sorted to in vain effort to give ex- pression to the wild exultation over their victory.
 The game, which was one of the best ever witnessed here, showed that Hendrix completely outclassed their Philadelphia A rivals. The first half was bitterly fought, the ball being in the visitors territory almost all the time, but Hendrix's line plunges failed to put the ball over. Toward the last of the half Hanesworth made a per feet place kick for three points, the only score of the first period.
 In the second half an intercepted criss-cross play, a line buck and a fake quarterback run were responsible for three touchdowns for Hendrix, each of which ended with an easy goal

GOOD WORK AT
 PUBLIC SCHOOL LIST OF HONOR PUPILS
SUPT. WATERS SAYS CONDI TIONS WERE EXCELLENT
 DURING PAST MONTH.

The following is the monthly report of Superintendent s. s. Waters of the Conway public schools:
 Our school is doing good work, or der fine, spirit excellent. have never seen as large number of boys and girls together where as little trouble came up. Every child seems to purpose in his heart to do right, and when this purpose can be firmly fixed in the minds and hearts of boys and girls, the matter of discipline has been set tied. I am looking, confidently look ing, for year full of achievements and feel that all the pupils are work ing to make this the best year in the history of the school.
 We are making some changes and are satisfied that all look to best inter- est of the pupils. 1 am asking that every teacher grade closer than ever before, and so you will find on the re- port card. We shall continue to grade close and hard, but give to each child all that he deserves as we see him. You get your children to understand that he must know, not memorize his lessons, and that we shall grade him
