Mary Pickford's Latest

One OF the most popular and best paid
artists on the moving picture stage is
Mary Picklord. On Tuesday evening
next Mary will appear at the Riverside
Theatre in her very latest production.
"A Romance OF the R~edwoods."
When Miss Pickford left New York
fer California, she announced that she
had a big surprise in store for her MANY
friends and shortly thereafter the signi-
%ficance Of her promise became apparent
when it WAS learned that she had Ell.
listed Cecil B. DeMille to direct her new
Artcr aft picture, "a Romance of the
R~edwoods." The photoplay is heralded
as the last word in the cinema art aside
from the fact that it displays Little
Mary" in a role entirely different from
anything in which she has ever ap.
peared.
Greater even than the adorable
sc Wen" in "a Poor Lift lie Rich Grip
is her Characterization OF Jenny Law
renee, the Little Boston girl who ex.
plores the wilds OF the West. Not only
is Miss Pickford's wonderful charm in
cluded to best advantage in this new
picture, but a drama finesse sneh as she
has never before displayed on either stage
or screen ls also apparent.

Lincoln and Grand Island
Short Cut Road Proposed

Aurora, Neb., March 18--(Special,)
Secretary D. c. Smith Of the CONNER
cial club will this week cali meeting
of interested parties in Seward, York,
Aurora and Grand Island for the dis
cussion of the proposed short cut
road from Lincoln to Grand Island.
This is to be one OF the recognized
roads for autoists. Secretary Smith
had conference with Dr.. Condra of
the Advisory Highway commission
and received his tentative support of
the establishment of the new road.
Just what name to give to this road
is puzz1ing Mr.. Smith. One name pro.
posed is the S. Y. A. Short Cut. This
recognizes the names of Seward,
York and Aurora. Another proposed
name is the Lincoln Grand Island
Short Cut" The new road will fur
nish an outlet from Lincoln to the
Lincoln Highway at Grand Island
and to the Omaha-L incoln-De
road at Hastings. The road from
Lincoln through Seward, York and
Aurora to Grand Island is one of the
best roads in the state.

Norris Asks "RecaN" Election;
Wants Voters to Pass on Action

Lincoln. Neb,, March l9-In let
ter to Governor Neville, Senator
Norris of Nebraska, who was one OF
the twelve senator's to stand out
against the proposed law, permitting
the president to establish armed neu-
trality, requests a special recall cleo
ton. to determine whether the people
approve his attitude. If the majority
so wills, he says he will resign.
Senator Norris letter is in part as
follows:
"On account of my opposition in the
senate to some of the legislation de-
manded by the president, which in
substance, abdicated the constitutional
prerogative of congress to declare
war, and gave this power to the presi-
dent, | have been severely denounced
and criticized not only in Nebraska,
but all over the country. These
charges have been published and re-
published by the newspapers of the
country with a venom and a manimity
which show gigantic combination to
conceal from the people of the United
States the real issue involved, and to
push our country into the vortex Of
the terrible and senseless war now be-
ing waged in Europe. 1t is charged
not only that l am traitor to my
country, but that I do not represent
the people Of Nebraska, from whom |
hold my commission as a member of
the United States senate.
Asks Special Election.
81 have no desire to represent the
people OF Nebraska either in the
United States senate or elsewhere if
my official conduct is contrary to their
wishes, and if am incorporating
them, the remedy is a recall. Under

able the people of the state to recall a
United States senator. | am, however,
willing to waive this technicality and
whatever rights I may possess in
this respect under the constitution. !
suggest, therefore, that you ask the
legislature of Nebraska, now in ses-
sion, to pass a law providing for
special election at which the question
of my recall can be submitted to the
people of the state. If such an cleo
ton is held, not later than May l.,

provide for the punishment of illegal
voting, / agree to abide by the result
and II the verdict is against me, | will
at once place in your hands my resig-
nation as a member of the United
States senate from the state Of Ne

Governor Neville said tonight that
he did not think such a special cleo
ton would be advisable. Not only was
there no demand for such an election,
he said, but it would be a needless
expense of money.

Norris of Nebraska made public to-

that the state legislature pass law
providing for a referendum on
whether the senator should be re-

went against him in such an election

punish illegal voting, to hand the gov
ernor his resignation.
In statement the senator indicated
within few days, he expected to go
