being voiced by the newspapers and
in parliament against what is charac-
teriZed as unwarrantable interfer-
ence by Great Britain and Russia in
Persian domestic affairs. Special at
tention has been directed to the at
tempts of British and Russian repre-
sentatives to prevent the constitu-
tionalists from marching on Teheran
and the dispatch to Persian territory
of Russian force.
Answering many questions in the
house of commons Sir Edward Grey,
foreign secretary, emphasized the fact
that in the advance of Russian troops
he was exclusively concerned in the
protection of European life and prop.
erty
The latest dispatches from Teheran
report great state of tension and ex.
element in anticipation of an ad.
vance by the nationalists. Many resi-.
dents are said to be fleeing from the
city but there is no confirmation of the

courage to live up to the contract,

Governor On Guaranty Law.

Omaha, July Tn a letter to the
Nebraska press Governor Shallenberg.
er has this comment on the issuance
of a federal court order restraining
the operation Of the bank guaranty
law:
81 have all possible respect for our
courts, but believe the law passed at
the last session of the legislature ex.
presses the will Of the people of Ne.
braska. The legislature is solidly for
the law, and as that body is the only
voice the people have its mandate
should be supreme. II federal Judge
can set aside the expressed will Of the
people of sovereign state when leg.
islating upon a matter regulating pure
ly state corporations. a single Judge
has power more potent than the
voice of a million and a half people
expressed through constitutional au.
thority. This should make plain to
the people Of the state the necessity
for nonpartisan judges on the bench.
want the people to know that I shall
exercise every constitutional right
given me under the constitution be.
fore their expressed will shall be de.
feated."

has always been followed, but the last
legislature enacted the boards usual
methods into law, so Il Is law now for
the board to send for the county Off.
cials when a raise In assessment Is
contemplated.
The supreme court probably will
meet this week to listen to arguments
In the case wherein the secretary of
state has been mandamussed to place
the name of John NJ. Reagan on the re.
publican primary ballot as a candidate
for supreme Judge.
Should the court fail to meet and
pass on the appeal 1t would be the
duty of the secretary of state to put
the name OF Reagan on the primary
ballot, and under the decision OF the
Lancaster district court candidates for
regents and for supreme Judge would
be selected by primary.
The supreme court, however, has In.
dictated that 1t will hold a special ses.
sion for the purpose VI hearing the ap.
peal. This session will doubtless be
neld this week, because the conven.
tions to draft platforms are to be held
under the law on the last Tuesday in
July. II the nonpartisan law is de-
clared unconstitutional then these con.
ventions shall draft platform and
select state committees, while IL the
law is declared valid, the conventions
this year may only select state COM
mittees.

SToRk DOESN'T STOP.
Fashionable Chicago Suburbs Have
Pets But no Babies.


Chicago, July lis the stork angry
at the folk of Oak Park and River
Forest?
Has its strong, conical bill, in which
since the days of long, long ago, it
has been supposed to bring pink,
pretty and chubby babies to the homes
of hopeful parents, lost its carrying
power?
This ancient bird flies high when it
passes over Oak Park and River For
est. All this sad state of affairs and
set back to the increase of future
suburbanites is set forth in the report
Of Winthrop j. Kendall, census taker,
who visited the homes in these viii
lagos and learned of the failure of the
stork to make frequent stops.
There is, however, humor as well
as pathos in the report Of Mr.. Ken
dall's annual canvass. While child life
seems to be at discount, animal life
is at premium. Dogs, cats, canary
birds, parrots and pet rabbits are
numerous in both villages. He found
one woman whose home abounds with
all the comforts to be found in man.
sions of the wealthy-but no babies.
The establishment consists of its
mistress, three maids, a few buffers
and cooks, a dog, two cats and hus-
band. Another woman In whose home
the Joy of a prattling baby is un-
known has little, shaggy dog. She
calls 1t Baby" and the neighbors
say she utters the name frequently
and at times with tone of sadness.
She has taught Baby" to stand on
its hind feet, sit up and look wise.
Lying on pink cushion, Baby" drives
out every fine afternoon in an open
carriage.
Zone of these big-hearted women"
said Mr.. Kendall, has adopted four
orphans and says she is the happiest
women in the world. She has both
hands full of childish trials and tribu-
lations, instead of cards and novels,
and she is the happier for it."

Senator Cores substitute for the
