CREIGHTON LAW QUINTET
ENTERS COMMERCIAL LEAGUE

At a meeting OF the Commercial league,
held at the Young Mems Christian ASSOC
citation last night, the Creighton Law
College basket ball team was voted into
the league to take the place of the Ne
braska Telephone company five.
There was some doubt whether the bar
rlsters would obtain the telephone fran
chise. as the Laws star players were
regular members Of teams In the Tri-
City and Church leagues. and therefore
ineligible to play on Commercial league
teams. On a motion by Coach Mills of
the Omaha High school. however. the
rule barring members of other leagues
was modified to include only the Tri-
city league, allowing Church players
henceforth TO participate in Commercial
league games.
Under the amendment the Laws are
stiil deprived OF the use Of Captain Linn
and Klepser. their most formidable per
formers, but are permitted 10 play Rec
ana Arehart and II is likely that These
terms viii be accepted.
The Laws win take the Nebraska Tele.
phone oompany's standing in regard &c
regular PLAYED games. while forfeited
contests will be played as soon as the
new schedule is completed.

CRYING NEED OF ROAD LAWS
Senator Lahner Declares Here is
Place for Legislature to Exer-
else Real Craftsmanship.
PRESENT SYSTEM GREAT WASTE
,From a staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, Jan. S.-(Special)-Senator
Lahner's plan of road-making is to do
away with the one-man boss system for
each precinct and to install in his place
four men with more authority. The plan.
thinks the senator, would insure the tax
payers greater efficiency and would stop
up the leaks under the old system.
Not Idle Dream.
None of this road talk is an idle dream
with the senator. He is a practical ex-
ponent of road work. He is superin-
tendent of the Meridian highway through
the northern part of Thayer county and
the part which he oversees is of the
turnpike" variety, such as would glad
den the hearts of fasteners.
Talk about doing away with legisla-
tive employees" said the senator today.
why, all the money wasted by legisla-
lures of the past isn't a drop in the
bucket compared with the money that
has been dumped out of the pockets of
the taxpayers in road work over the
state.

Suffrage Corresponding.

Our correspondents continue to ex'
press their varying views on the question
of woman suffrage, and from time to
time The Evening Sun prints such letters
as seem representative OF the whole flood
1t may be worth while TO emphasize a
/ few points, for and against, which were
made in letters printed most recently.
One correspondent declares that the
suffrage is an absolute necessity for
women, on the ground that women must
be allowed to come TO the front, Here
is her thesis
Civilization is progressing. Moral
! force viii be the coming dominant power
to settle all international conflicts. II is
well known that woman is generally pi-
ous her leaning to faith and integrity is
better guarantee for stability, peace
and progress than all the Zeppelins, sub
marines, or mems brute force.
Undoubtedly some persons will deny
that this constitutes a strong argument
in favor OF woman suffrage, yet il prob.
many women whose influence would al
ways be thrown on the side of the right,
if they knew what the right was. II she
means literally that woman's morality
is better and higher thing than mans
morality, that opinion, again, must be
considered and reckoned with as one Of
the forces which woman suffrage would
make more pussant.
Another correspondent calls attention
10 the fact OF the many advantages
which women now possess under the
present laws OF this state, and the pre-
sumption favorable 10 them which exists
in all questions Of domestic relations
which arise.
Still another correspondent fears that
for this country suddenly to throw open
the polls TO women a. well as men would
be as disastrous as il would have been
had Mr.. Bryan's double standard Of
money value been adopted by the United
States without waiting for the consent
Of any other nation in the world. He
thinks 30 irrctrie,able step is full Of
danger and finds much menace 60 all |
sorts Of soft boiled theories in the pres
ent condition Of the world
And so the discussion proceeds, with |
interesting arguments and fullness Of
good faith on both sides. Nobody should |
forget the Importance Of the question.
nor the heavy responsibilities involved
IN is decision this autumn. Il Il is so
decided For II the amendment should 4
fail this autumn the womens fight for
suffrage could ond doubtless would be
renewed But If the amendment should
be adopted the act would BE- irretricv-
able, for no repeal Of the law could be-
effected. even in case such action should
