Impressed each year with some new and dis

enhance the sightliness Of the building itself.
Next fall-indeed. long before-our fine new
hotel will be challenging the admiration OF our

A little figuring will show that Judge Hol-
lenbeck in his own judicial district polled 5,256
votes as against 2,701 for his opponents. or sc
per cent instead OF 80 per cent Of the total ju-
diclal ballots. In the state as a whole the vote
for supreme court candidates fell short OF the
vote for governor Is per cent, 30 that. apply
ing this ratio to the Sixth judicial district. Judge
Hollenbeck received not 90 per cent but only
SIS per cent of all the votes cast in his district
The showing made by Judge Holenbeck In
the judicial district where he resides is pdeed
complimentary, but likewise Ia the showing made
by Chief Justice Reese in the judicial district
where he resides. and where he polled nearly
three votes to every one cast for Judge Holen-
beck. In his home judicial district, Chief Jus
tice Reese received over so per cent of the total
vote cast for judicial candidates.. which is some
thing OF a compliment too.
Let Il be remembered. moreover, that in the
state as a whole, notwithstanding the democratic
massing OF their votes in total disregard of the
nonpartsan idea, Judge Reese led them all,
which means that the people appreciate his ex-
ceptional service In his high office and ready
TO endorse his record. The very fact that his
opponents find It necessary ts>resort to that 80
per cent fake testifies TO the strength OF Chief
Justice Reese.

Women in war.

\ OMAHA, Oct s.--To the Editor OF The
Bee: Extreme religionists Of different
sects believe that we are approaching the
millennium foretold in the Book Of Rev
Citations, and point to the fact that the
attitude of the feminine portion of
humanity toward war is changing. In
New York the women protested against
the Anglo-Russo-Franco German war by
q monster anti-war parade. But. after all,
woman is the real hero. She knows what
she Is doing when she sends her men to
the front. She knows what a life gu;
OF which everything has gone but pow
erty, suffering and grief means. Plunge
this nation into war and the women
would be the first to fight against OPP
preston. Kill off her men and she would
take the field herself
When aroused a woman will 60 the
extreme for her country, and her quick
wit and cunning make her a drawer foe
than man. Turn TO your bible and read
the story OF the two Israelitish women.
Judith and Jael how they cunningly
trapped the leader Of the victorious In
vaders and robbed him of his head, thus
turning defeat to victory.
The Canadian woman, Laura Secord.

GUESSING Dearborn's plans for a surprise
attack on the British during the second
English war, outwitted the American
guards and after travelling barefooted all
day and night through a thick forest
reached tho British camp in time TO warn
them OF the American scheme. This act
OF heroism saved eastern Canada for the
English.
England's war queen, Boadicea, led her
army OF 10000 Celts against the invading
Roman minions under Nero. The story
OF the bravery and courage OF Joan OF
Arc and her death at the stake lie famil-
lar TO every school child.
History is replete with the patriotism
and daring OF our women in the Revolu-
ton as we'll as the War of the Rebellion.
Today the women Of Belgium, Germany.
sefvia and France are harvesting the
crops carrying on the business, nursing
the wounded, caring for the dying and
weeping for their men who will never re-
turn.
With women's consent there would be
no war; without her there could be no
war.

OMAHA, Oct. s--To the Editor OF The
Bee: The program mapped out by the

Caviness, superintendent at Fairbury;
State Superintendent ]. F.. DelzeIl and
one or two other members of the school,
masters ring. The program began by
ousting Thomas from the head of the
Kearney Normal. The plan appears TO
have been TO put A. II. Waterhouse into
the place ct Kearney. and to make a
place for Caviness at Peru. The storm
of Indignation from all over the state
checked proceedings, and finally a man
from outside of the state was selected
for the Kearney Normal 1t was thought

the board at the beginning of the year

the democratic ticket. Elliott has been
taken care OF as head of the department

This is his reward and is in line with
the promise made him before the pri-
mary. In case of his defeat.
But what about Sunny Jhn?' He
pulled the chestnuts out Of the fire and
now he is left TO shift for himself Cavi-
ness had Superintendent George Martin

department OF English in the Kearney
Normal at a salary OF SO a month more
than ever had been paid in this depart
ment to anyone in any OF the normal
schools. and Immediately applied for the
place about TO he vacated oy Martin. He
was warmly supported by Majors. Dell
