three months of 1915 $2l 900 was paid
to the company in premiums covering
insurance totaling more than a mil
lion dollars. An average of $1,000 is
being paid to the company every
month in premiums and renewals
and every dollar of it is reinvested in
Nebraska.
Agents in $50 growing communities,
who are licensed by the state of Ne
braska, are adding to the business of
the National Security Co.
Here are some facts to think about:
When the company was organized
it brought eight new families of
bankers and business men to Omaha.
More than 1000 home owners in
Omaha and the state carry policies
in the National Security.
Men who have made possible this

What About it, Frank?
DO Franklin S. Shotwell.

TO Franklin 5. Shotwell,
In throwing your hat in the ring
for state senator, you handed out
personal platform to which The Bee
gave publicity space for you.
This platform is, on the whole,
not a bad one except in its omis-
sions,
You say you are against the
sheriff's jail-feeding graft and will
work for law to have the pris-
oners fed at cost to the county.
Now, Frank, add this one more
plank:
Il am opposed to grafters in the
district clerks office as we'll as in
the sheriff's office. 1 will also
work for a law to stop the clerk
from pooketing fees Of any and all
Kinds so no court can punch hole
for him to reach through into the
treasury"
Remembering how, as assistant
county attorney, you drew the petit.
tion to make the then district clerk
put back the insanity fees he was
holding out this statement will
fit in very well with your own rec
ord Of opposition to grafters and
takers.
How about it, Frankl

SMITHS FEE GRAB
GAME MAKES BUNGLE
Causes Uncle Sam to Put Wheels Of
Federal Court in Motion Against
One Poor Fellow.
HE DID AS BOB SMITH SAID

The grab for naturalization fees by
District Clerk Bob" Smith has put
one poor fellow in bad and set in
motion the cumbersome and expen-
sive wheels of the federal court to
undo the harm the bungle has
caused.
The United States OF America
against Abraham Jakob Bialoblocky,
or Jakob Blotcky, els South Twen-
ty-ninth street, is the title Of a suit
Just filed. Blotcky was admitted to
United States citizenship February Z,
1915. The charge is that he was
granted naturalization illegally,
fraudulently and contrary to the
law" because he did not supplement
his petition for naturalization by a
valid declaration of intention.
An affidavit Of NJ r. Bennington. chief
naturalization examiner OF the Depart
ment OF Labor, is attached to the papers
In the suit. 1t cites that Bialoblocky
was admitted to citizenship on petition
No. 24i0 and certificate OF naturalization
No. 5eo942. which was illegally procured.
The affidavit continues
should support Petition.
''The official records OF the United
States naturalization service show that
when Bialoblocky presented himself IN
the office OF the clerk of the district
court of Douglas county for the purpose
of filing his petition the deputy clerk
OF the said court advised Bialoblocky
that the law required of him that he
support his petition by his declaration
OF intention; that the said deputy clerk
insisted upon the declaration being pro-
duced, but in this was overruled by his
superior. the clerk OF the aforesaid court;
that the said clerk Of the court insisted
upon the petition being accepted"
II is stated further that Smith, clerk
OF the court, insisted at the final hear
ing in court that naturalization be
granted Bialoblocky. although he had
not complied with the provisions OF the
law, stating that "a cancellation suit
could not harm a naturalized person. as
the said person, by refusing TO litigate,
could avoid being taxed with the costs
and could. without prejudice to his cause
petition anew upon completion Of such
cancellation"

NEBRASKA is annually sending
~ $5,0OO,0O0OO outside the state
for fire insurance. Dollars that
never return to aid in development
and advancement are being paid in
premiums to foreign companies whose
Nebraska interests are infinitesimal.
During 1916 and all the years to
come this figure will be materially re-
duced because of the entrance into the
field of the National Security Fire In
surance Co. of Omaha-the company
in which has been reposed the con
fidence and trust of an ever increas-
ing clientele of policy holders
throughout Growing Omaha and the
entire Middle West.
Nebraska has many institutions and
individuals that have a prior claim on
public patronage and esteem, but few
that stand out more prominently than
the National Security Fire Insurance
Co. The institution that, while profit
ing from public patronage, gives back
to the people benefits in the form of
protection for their homes, investment
and development, occupies a position
of prominence and sets a worthy ex-
ample for emulation.

Greater Oaha Home Company Whose Policies Protect More Than

so many words, Today the citizen
appreciates the fact that wholesome
cooperation with his home dealers

1t has been largely through the ac-

Vigorous Praise Is Given for Wilson's Policy by the Secretary
 of War.
MAKES TALK IN MAINE
No Unfamiliar Hand Is Wanted to Guide the Ship of State in
 Next 4 Years.

WATERVILLE. Me. Aug. S1. - Vigorous praise for the adminstra- tions European policy was the out standing feature of an address here by Secretary of War Newton D. Ba- l,er. principal speaker at a meeting held in connection with the Demo cratic campaign in Maine.
 The Presidents course. Mir. Baker said, has infused the spirit of dec laration of independence and of the golden rule into this country's for eign relations.
 "I have shown that the admins tration of President Wilson has fol- lowed consistent program in it's domestic legislation, Mir. Baker de- clared toward the end of his ad- dress. Tt has procured the enact ment of laws more wholesome and beneficial than perhaps can be cred tied in the aggregate to the admin istrations that have intervened since the Civil war. It is inspired by a philosophy which is an expression of the longing of mankind in this day and generation. It has refused to allow itself to be turned aside by foreign violence in the accomplish ment of its great program.
 Large problems lie before us in the next four years. No unfamiliar hand should be put in to guide the course of our nation during that per iod. No uncertain voice should be permitted to speak our spirit at the council table that re-organizes the universe. This is time when having pressed forward nobly on a high and difficult course, the finish should be left to those who have demonstrated their ability by their work already done"

This question is one of the many phases which dis cussion of a possible railroad calam- ity has evolved in these August days.
