More About the Mail Holdup.

Omaha, Neb., March 2S.-To the
Editor of The Bee: l inclose a photo
graph showing mail taken from the
Council Bluffs terminal and ready to
be placed upon outgoing trains. This
is but small portion of the days out
put.
In relation to the terminal, will say
that am informed, and the informa-
ton is authentic, that the crews work
ing In the terminals are turning over
daily from 900 to 600 sacks of stuck
mail, which they were unable to work
on account Of lack of help. Some Of
this mail lies around the terminal
from five to twenty days. AS an illus
tration:
Circulars postmarked Chicago, ILL.,,
Feb. %, 1917, from the California
Fruit Growers association and ad-
dressed to merchants in Wyoming
and containing advertising matter for
Orange day, on March 10, 1917, and
inclosing return postal card for adver-
Using matter for that day, were re-
ceived at the terminal on March l.,
1917. These circulars were not dis
patched from the terminal until
March II, 1917. seven days after
Orange day had passed into history.
Last week, between March 16 and
90, Rock Island train No. s was carry
ing Omaha daily papers to Des Moines
and back, the clerks being unable to
complete the distribution. The cars
on this train have been cut down from
sixty to forty feet and were SO piled
with mail that the clerks did not have
sufficient room in which to work. To
substantiate this statement, note the
following telegram to the World-Her-
aid from a news dealer in Atlantic,
Ia:
"Today's paper not received. Yes
terday's paper received today"
These are but few illustrations of
the inefficiencies of this branch of the
mail service since the new orders went
into effect. ALBERT e. MAY.

"watchman, What of the Night"

Ogalalla. Neb., March 27.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Our president has
exhausted every resource to keep our
country at peace with Germany. He
has sent letters, protesting against
submarine barbarities and did extort
a promise from the German govern
ment to refrain from sinking mer-
chant vessels without warning and a
guarantee of the safety Of the passen-
gers and crews. This promise was
rudely broken off, with. only twenty
four hours notice. Several American
ships. flying the national colors, the
Stars and Stripes, have been fired
upon and sunk, and American citizens
aboard these ships been killed or
drowned. All this can only end in
war. In fact, Germany has already
started the ball rolling. $751;.
There is Bunker Hill and Lexing-
ton: there is the battle of Lake Erie
whenever and wherever the flag has
been fired on 1t has brought on war.
There is Fort Sumpter. and there is
the Maine sunk in Havana harbor-all
of these brought war, and there Is no
escape now. We are a peaceful ma
ton. Our government has been very
patient under repeated insults and
outrage. / trust / shall never live to
see an attack on Old Glory go unpun-
ished, for when that time comes, If it
ever does come, it will be the begin
ming of the decay of this nation, the
best government on earth.

URDAHL BILL
MITCHELL LAWYER TO LOSE A
SOFT BERTH.

Pierre, Jan. Ex-senator Urdahl
introduced a bill today abolishing the
special attorney of the banking de-
partment and placing the legal af-
fairs of that department under the
attorney general. The department
has signified its acceptance of the
change, therefore, the chances are
that it will be made.
Much state criticism has been di-
rected at the existing arrangements.
LauritZ Miller, of Mitchell, personal
friend of the examiner, was given the
job of legal adviser at $4,000 a year
at a time when he was city attorney
of Mitchell and county attorney of
Dawson county. To make the case
good, Attorney Miller also drew fees
as special policeman at the state fair.
In the first and only litigation in
which the department became in
volved the department engaged a
firm of lawyers at Huron and a firm
at Sioux Falls. Under the Urdahl
bill, one of the department clerks
must have the qualifications of a law
yer and must give his full time TO
the department.

MADISON BOWLERS
FUND BEING RAISED TO SEND
SIN MEN TO THE ABERDEEN
TOURNAMENT.

Subscription papers are being cir
culated among the business men and
citizens of Madison for the purpose
of raising a fund to send six Madison
bowlers to the Tri-State tournament,
which opens in Aberdeen next We'd
nesday, January II. A large fund
has already been subscribed by the
more enthusiastic patrons Of the
game, and William Rowland. secre-
tary of the Madison Merchants asso-
citation, has consented to circulate an
other subscription paper on Monday
in an effort to bring the fund up to
enough to pay the boys expenses, en-
trance fees, etc.
There are some good bowlers in
Madison this year, as was demon
last Wednesday night, when five of
the Madison boys trimmed the fast
est team in Sioux Falls by 63 pins,
and should they have an even break
of luck they will land we'll up in the
money. 1t will be a big advertisement
for the city of Madison, and every
business man will no doubt be willing
: to contribute a small amount TO the
cause.
The men who will make the trip
will be Guy Hanson, DR.. Sheldon,
Percy Scudder, Jesse Mackay and Dan
Coutts, who will constitute the five
men team, and James Madison, who
will accompany the team as the sixth
man. Each la will also roll in the
singles and doubles. In the doubles
they will pair up as follows: Han
son and Sheldon, Coutts and Mackay,
Scudder and Madison. The boys will
leave Madison next Saturday after
noon and return Tuesday morning.
Every loyal citizen of Madison
should get behind this and boost it,
for it will be one of the best adver-
tisements the city has had in recent
years, so when Secretary Rowland
calls on you Monday, before turning
him down, stop and think whether
you want the outside world TO know
whether Madison is on the map or
not. The boys are not asking any
large contributions from any one. but
no contribution will be refused, no
matter how large or how small.

LEGISLATIVE GRIND
WORK PROCEEDING RAPIDLY
SOME OF THE MEASURES.

Pierre, Jan. 13.-No II can recall
any session of the legislature in
which bills have been returned from
committees for a final vote as early
as at this session. 1t has been the
rule TO wait for the naming OF com
mittees before bills were accepted for
introduction. and the committees
have not rushed themselves in an eff
fort TO get the bills out for final ae-
tion before either house. But the
first bills We're acted on in the house
this year on the eighth day, and on
the ninth day there were nine differ
ent measures on the calendar for
final vote. If they keep the record
they will be in shape TO avoid late
night sessions at the close of the
sixty days, and may even equal the
one lone session which was ready to
ADJOURN at moor of the last day, In
stead of setting the hands of the
clock back to allow action until after
midnight of the last legal day of the
session.
A senate bill by Anderson of Fall
River. asks for an@agricultural school
for the western half of the state,
which is undoubtedly intended to
teach the needs of that section in an
agricultural way. The methods and
systems of farming in the Black Hills
and the drier section of the state are
entirely different from those of the
eastern section where the state agri-
cultural college is at present located
and the western people desire a%gricul-
.tural training which is specially fitted
10 their section. The bill asks for
$50. 600 to locate such an institution
at Ardmore in Fall River county.
Registration of nurses is not the
only bill along that line which Is
coming in. A registration measure
has been introduced in the house COW
ering the registration of teachers
with the state superintendent of in
struction. ANY teacher who desires
may register by paying a fee of 81.
and along with the registration file
any statement of qualification or en-
dorsements of work as a teacher. the
name to be kept on file and available
TO any school district which cares to
take that method of finding the kind
of a teacher they desire to employ in
their schools.
The sheriffs at their meeting In
this city did not take kindly to the
policy of a fixed salary instead of
fees. While in some of the smaller
counties the officer would prefer a
fixed sum TO his chances on fees
where the business of his office is not
large. in the older counties it is not
greeted with enthusiasm. These sher-
ifs say that while it is easy TO fix
compensation for other county Off
GERS with regular office hours, with
a sheriff ii is decidedly different.
His hours" are twenty each day and
every day in the year. at any time be-
ing likely to be called upon to look
after the affairs of his office. and
take chances which no other officer
is asked TO take. On this basis they
are opposed to a fixed salary, and
want their pay based on the amount
of service they are called upon to
give.
