LOTTERY PARAPHENAIIA
FOUND

What the police believe was a full

was unearthed Tuesday. No arrests
were made.

reported for duty in plain clothes
and left the station in a bakery wag-

where the three policemen alighted.
A short distance away was a one-story
frame building with two rooms. Cor
poral Traub ordered his companions
to approach the building noiselessly
and get in the rear of the structure,
while he went to the front door.
The corporal found the door locked
and making a tour of the building
found windows and all other entranc-
es fastened securely. Finally a win
dow that faced a side yard was forced
open and, with his revolver drawn

In Fairness TO Simon.

Vote-huntng sharpshooters on the political
firing line are expected to use any missile within
reach, but in all fairness to former Representa-
tive Edward Simon, the public is entitled TO
know that the assault TO discredit his sponsor
ship OF the mothers pension law is Oontradicted
by the official record
While no member OF the legislature Of two
years ago had any monopoly on the introduction
of mothers pension measures any more than on
any other subject. Mr.. Simon's bill, House Roll
No &C. was the first to be presented, and in sub
stance the one to be enacted Everyone famif-
lar with legislative procedure knows that where
bills on the same subject are introduced stimuli
taneously in both houses the speedy achievement
of the desired result is expedited by acceptance
by one house OF the framework of the measure
passed by the other and this is what happened
with the mothers pension bill The senate fiie
coming across before the house had acted upon
the house bills, amended by Incorporating
the additional features OF the bills introduced by
Representatives Simon and Jeary, and by an ex-
traordinary action recognition was given to the
two mothers pension champions in the house by
specifically adding their names as joint intro
ducers
The record is found on page 7s7 OF the
House Journal for 1918 in the report OF the
committee OF the whole, which was unanimously
adopted, and reads in part as follows:
Amend that part showing the ntroducer by ad-
ding after the words. introduced by Senator ). A.
Robertson OF Holt. the words and Representatives
Edward simon OF Douglas and Edwin Jeary OF Ian
caster.
II the record is the best evidence this should
be conclusive aside from the fact that those try
ing 10 disparage Mr.. simons work have waite !
two years TO discover that he had no part in pro-
curing the passage of law for which his col
leagues in the legislature themselves at the time
gave him his full share of credit.
