RUTHERFORD HAS TONSILITTS

ONE OF MOST VALUABLE MEN

LINCOLN. Neb.. Nov. 6-(speciaI)-
The latest misfortune OF the Cornhusker
foot ball team, after a series OF accidents
and sickness which might well discourage
the stoutest heart, came in the form of
an announcement today that Rutherford.
the star halfback. reported I'll yesterday,
was down with tonsllitisA
Rutherford was taken sick yesterday
afternoon late but little was thought Of
his Illness. Last night II developed in
more serious form and the squad physi-
clan confirmed the report that he was
suffering from a severe attack OF tonsi-
litls. with the best Of luck, the doctor
declared. Rutherford should be In shape
for the Kansas game but II was a remote
chance that he would be able to particl-
pate In the most critical contest Of the
season.
Rutherford is one OF the most valuable
men on the team and. besides PLAYING a
great game on the defense. he is the best
defensive player on the Cornhusker
squad. With Purdy and Rutherford on
the secondary offense II has been impossi-
BILE for a single opposing player all sea
son to get by the secondary defense and
thus secure a clear field with the ex-
ceptlon Of the quarterback.
Thus II may be seen how really seri-

from the famous Minnesota shift, the

BY CHARLES II. MANDY

several deputies that were in>the Of
flee tried to pacify the woman and her
children but to no avail
Finally big-hearted Bob Howard
made the proposition that he would
take the children to his own home and
that his wife would care for them until
the matte- was adjusted.
You are not fooling me, are you?'
tearfully asked the woman.
iFeoling you?' responded Bob "a
would not fool you for the world. !
have children of my own and i can
understand your feeling; listen to this =
Rob called his wife over the phone and
told her to prepare supper and room
for three little tots that were to be
their guests temporarily. The woman
heard the message and with many tears
the children were allowed to go with
the kind hearted deputy to his home.
Before he left he told the mother that
If she made bond he would bring the
children to her.
God bless thee. Bob Howard. for that
kindly act 1T will surely find favor
i'll the sight of Him who said "Inas-
much as ye did to the least one OF
these, ye did it also unto Me-" The
world needs more of thy kind.
The mother was not put in jail how
ever, for through the persistent efforts
Of the deputy sherffs she finally made
bond and she and her children were
reunited.
Such scenes are not infrequent; 1t
is tough proposition to drag moth
er and three small children to jail.
There was never any possibility for the
children to be confined there. how
ever, as a splendid provision has been
made for them at the detention home
of the juvenile couH. But nevertheless
it was narrowing scene and one that
ought not to be possible in any civil
lied community 1t was suggested that
the woman was guilty of several Of
lenses but that does not justify the
separation from her children in this
instance even for one night
The scene at the sheriffs office will
undoubtedly leave an indelib1e imprint
OH the young hearts of the three chill
dren. They will always remember their
mother was arrested ana treated like
a common felon. Shame on people who
will allow such conditions to exist.
Speed the time that the city com :
missioners will build the detention
room at the city jail for all women
prisoners, which they have promised,
where a mother and her children would
not have to be separated until by/or-
der of the court after due investiga-
tion of her case; where a young girl
who has made misstep will be shield
ed from the vulgar gaze and ribald
Jest of the calloused and debased.
1t is shame to place a girl in the
class of fallen women just because she
has been guilty of an indiscretion; it
is an outrage to place such a girl or
woman in a common JAIL she is en-
titled to square deal" by all the
laws of God and man. which, under
the present conditions in this great city
and county, she is denied
Can one wonder at the demand of
woman for equal suffrage when such
ntan-made conditions exist? Men con-
tinue to turn deaf ear to the awful
reports of the state prison Inspector re-
garding our own dungeons, shall we
wait for the ballots of the women to
change conditions? In the name of JUS
tice and humanity 1t is to be hoped
not.

The officers of the law axe often
called upon to perform disagreeaole
tasks in the discharge of their sworn
duty. Especially is this true in deal
ing with women and children, for un-
der the present conditions there is no
place to put a white woman charged
with violation of the law except IN
Jail in the event she cannot make bond,
at the county jail she is placed in
the basement, a horrible condition but
the best the sheriff can do. At the
central city Jail She is locked up in
a place that has been condemned as
not fit for human habitation
No criticism can be placed on the
officials of either place for they have
done the very best to improve exist
ing conditions The people of the
county have refused time and time
again to build a new jail, although or
dered to do so by DR.. oates. The city
has fine new jail ON the Southside,
hut white women are still taken to
the rat hole" near the city hall.
That the officials in charge of these
INSTITUTIONS are not in sympathy with
conditions is we'll known, and they
would if they could change conditions,
for many times do these men express
their sympathy for the unfortunates
that get in the clutches of the law
as the following incident will show.
weeping white woman and three
sobbng children were taken to the
sheriffs office the other night. The
woman was neatly dressed as were the
two children two little girls and
boy their ages ranging from to II.
She had been arrested for passing
worthless checks and when the deputy
went to her home to serve the war
rant she was unable to make bond and
there being no other alternative he
placed her under arrest and took her
to the office of the sheriff.
The attaches of the sheriff's office
showed the woman every courtesy and
called up number of people for her
in the endeavor to make bond, but
without success. 1t seemed there was
nothing to do but to put the woman in
jail and send the children to the de-
tenton home of the juvenile court and
with that purpose in view Humane
Officer Patton was sent for
When it was made known to the
mother and her children they would
have TO be separated, their tears start
cd afresh and Ii was truly pitiful to
see how the children clung to their
rnother and begged not to be taken
away The mother pleaded that they
children be not taken from her, and
evidently had the idea that IL taken
in charge by the court they would be
permanently separated from her, al
though she was assured that such would
not be the case.
She begged to be allowed to sit in
the office with her children, but the
hour was getting late and she was in
formed unless her bond was made she
" ould have to go TO jail. At this in
formation the woman's sobs and the
childrens walls broke out again. The

area of low barometer that was over
the Rocky mountain division and the

moved slowly eastward, and now over
lies the western half of the great in
terror basin. 1t has caused an eastward
extension of the rain area which on to-

at Shreveport, Palestine and Dodge City.
Fair weather prevailed over the remain
ing sections of the country, except the
lake region, where scattering showers
occurred
There has been a general fall in tenn
perature of from 10 to 20 degrees over
the lower half of the western Mississippi
valley and plains states, largely due to
the cloudy skies and the cooling influ-
ence OF the rain.
In the southern states generally heavy
