That the university Itself should

Regarding II IN the light OF an
economic necessity. about 100 we'll
known business and professional
men. club women and welfare work
ers OF Detroit are determined that
the three-day campaign to raise
$4,000 for maternity hospital and
nursery In connection with the
Rescue Home for GIrIs and Women.
shall be success. The campaign
starts Wednesday.
These men and women have Wis
tied the institution, carefully looked
into the work ana it's results and
examined the audits. and Charles
II. Clifford. chairman OF the advisory
board. says that nowhere, to his
knowledge, Is a dollar made to go
as far IA at this home. Mrs. r. II.
Ashbaugh, president OF the auxil-
larry. adds that nowhere does a dol
lar do more good to society than
Il does here.
The home is branch OF the Sal
walton Army service. Its mainte-
nance cost Is surprise to all who
have seen the accounts. for even the
matron draws only IS week in sal
airy. while trained nurses work for
$3.50 a week, such is their devotion
to the cause.
This home attends to an average
OF $50 cases year at cost Of
about $4,750. At no time since the
institution removed to the old Bull
homestead at Fort-st. and the West
Grand blvd. has il had room enough
to do the work II desires. Time
and again have the matron and
others OF the staff given their beds
TO the needy. and the demand con-
tinues TO grow.
With a new building such as is
contemplated. the Rescue Home can
greatly enlarge It's usefulness. Sew
eraj times as many women, girls
and children can be cared for In
the hospital and its dormitories.
while the old mansion can be turned
over to girls whose missteps have
led them TO the juvenile court.
At present the delinquents from
this tribunal are sent to the state
reformatory and many OF them have
to stay there FIVE or six years. The
Salvation Army wants TO take them
and make them over. so to speak.
The homestead would accommodate
scores OF these girls and once in
there, they are to be taught what Is
proper In life and educated by regu-
lar teachers. There will be no feel.

slip. Smith Through small Hole.

Judge Sears has decided that the clerk OF
the district court in Douglas county may retain
the fees he collects in naturalization cases, be-
cause no Nebraska statute specifically directs
that these particular fees be turned over to the
county. This comes as strange doctrine from
a Judge who a very few years ago pursued
state treasurer Of Nebraska with zeal TO COM
pei him to turn into the treasury the proceeds
OF a bond deal he put over while acting as state
treasurer, although the transaction was outside
his official duties
The law requires that all fees collected by
the clerk OF the courts in excess OF $4,000 in
Douglas county be turned over to the county
treasurer. Judge Sears evades this provision
by holding that the naturalization Of foreign
born citizens is work done outside the regular
duties of clerk OF the court. and does not,
therefore, fall under the statute. The federal
law governing the naturalization OF foreigners
requires that the act be done in a court Of
record; II does not stipulate that the clerk Of
the court must keep the records. but where else
can II be done, and who else will do 1T Ac-
cording TO the judges reasoning. this service
lie optional with the clerk OF the courts, and
when done by him is favor conferred upon
the public.

Position Permanently delicate.

Washington correspondents just now lay
great emphasis the fact that the United
States is in delicate position between the
belligerents. because OF the memoranda sent to
the warning powers by Secretary Of State
Lansing. dealing with the status OF armed rser-
chantmen. AS q matter or fact, II is not mors
delicate than the entire situation has 5sen
since the war commenced. Our government has
been compelled to choose the right course on
many cSsasions. some of them decidedly criti-
cal. without regard TO the position Of the bel
iiEeTents, on almost every question that has
arisen one or the other side has sought to gain
advantage. and this we have had to ignore.
The position OF neutral lie always delicate.
for the balance must be held even between the
contending powers. or neutrality fails In the
present instance. the right Is against the AL
lies. but the decision OF the United States will
be upheld regardless OF this fact.

Great Britain Yield. a point.

The British government has announced
modification In its practice OF dealing with car
goes seized on neutral bottoms, that will be OF
some benefit to shippers. Hitherto 1t has been
the practice TO sell at once perishable goods
when seized, and to establish the innocent
character OF the shipment after. This course
was attended by such delay and accompanied
by such charges that the value OF the cargo
was generally consumed before the proceedings
came to an end. and the shipper was forced to
pocket the loss. The change made Is to dis
pense with the exorbitant charges heretofore
made. and to provide for compensation TO the
shipper. in event OF the cargo being declared
innocent. This removes one OF the causes OF
aggravation. but does not entirely free neutral
shipping from the embargo put upon II by the
"order In council" II does show. however.

statement quoted in the papers from re-
cent sermons by DIR. Rouse OF the First
CONGREGATIONAL church. who has resigned
and left the city and OF DR.. Lowe OF the
First Methodist church, the former tear
ing down the doctrines OF the Christian
faith, the latter the ideals OF Christian
conduct By his remarks at a meeting of a
Drama club of this city before which he
lectured. Neither OF these men has pub
licly denied the statements attributed 70
them. 20 that l take It for granted that
they were correctly quoted.
DR.. Rouse IL quoted as denying the
Bible story Of creation and the person.

sisteney he says he would rather trust

other. yes he denies that which Jesus be-
