HARD TO GET SloNERS.
Auburn Freeholders Not Anxious To
Sign Petitions.

Auburn, April 12.-The man who
has been at work to secure the sigma
lures of thirty free holders in the
third ward in order to obtain n sa-
loon license says he has worked hard
for six days and found 1t difficult to
get the required number of names,
So far he has succeeded in getting
sixteen names, and to add to the
grief, Judge Pemberton. who Is hold
ing district court has overruled the
motion to strike the names of peti
TONERS from the petition in suit for
damages in the Mrs. Perry case, as
parties to the defense. In the suit
brought for $4,000 damages for the
loss of her husband, against the
saloon keepers who sold him the
liquor and their bondsmen, the sign
ers on the petition were made
defendants. The attorney for the de-
Tense filed a motion to strike the
names of the petitioners from the
list, on the grounds that they were
not parties to the saloo business. AZ
ter having the matter under advise
ment for some time the Judge overrul-
ed the motion and held that the petit

suffrage in Colorado. Women have
voted for sixteen years in Colorado.
In these sixteen years in which it
has been ON trial in Colorado abso-
lutely no harm has come from the
women voting and many cases great
and lasting good has resulted. Of all
the evils that were prophesied would
result none have come to pass, while
many of the scandalous abuses under
old way of voting have been success
fully met and overcome by the women
lining up for right and decency. Col
orado in spite of it's somewhat un-
sayory past is more than making
good. Much is its recent legislation
is far in advance of older states, and
has been possible through the sup
port given by women voters to meas
ures of reform and advance legisla-
ton.

DEDATERS TO GATHER HERE
FALLS CITY HIGH SCHOOL TO
BE THE HOST
Southeastern Nebraska Debating
Society to Meet Here Friday
Evening, May 18th.

Falls City High School is TO be
host to the Southeastern Nebraska
Debating Association. This Is an
honor to Falls City, as 1t is the first
time that the debate has been held
anywhere but at the place of meet
of the Southeastern Teachers AS
sociation. Thio meeting has usually
been at Beatrice This year it was
decided to change. Considering the
size of the town, location, aeeessi-
bility, etc, Falls City was looked up
ON with most favor, and so it was
chosen.
Eight schools will be represented
in this contest; Nebraska City,
Pawnee City, Tecumseh, Auburn,
Falls City, Wymore, Humboldt Beat
rice. Besides the debaters, each
school will probably send delega-
ton. Our high school is making
every effort To properly entertain the
visitors, and it is going to depend
upon the friends of the schools to
see that large audience greets the
visitors, Here is an opportunity, not
only to support the schools, but to
advertise the town as well.
The Falls City high school has
chosen Jean Cain to uphold its ban
ner in this debate. He has been tho
first speaker on the team that has
won two victories for us in the State
League debates this year, the first
at Stellaa and the second at Humboldt.
He has splendid argument and will
give our high school n good showing
in this contest
The question to be discussed is
tlon: Resolved, That Labor Unions
Are. on the Whole, Beneficial
II is a live topic. There are NO
communities of any size not directly
affected by the differences betwees
capital and labor, and those few are
indirectly affected. These yonas
people will present more than a.
young PERSONS view of this import
ant question. Many books and maya
zines have been found accessible,
and abstracts of those not obtain
able have been secured, so that most
of the valuable things written on this
subject have been gone over. Each
school has a coach who helps to
thoroughly organize the material.
That Mr.. Hays has performed this
task well in our school was attested,
not only by the votes, but by the
words of the judges at humboldt last
Friday night.
We are anxious to make a good inn
preston upon our visitors, not only
IN argument, but also in the way In
which our town supports entertain
ments of this kind Furthermore, we
have moral obligation to pay the
expenses of the visiting debaters, as
this has been the custom Students
will have tickets for sale. II you
buy of a student, exchange for re-
served seat ticket at Ceilings bak-
cry. Tickets can also be secured at
the bakery.
