Reisner Takes Mild
Shot at Lobbying
By the Governor

Lincoln, March 10.-(Special. y
Whenever the governor OF the state
OF Nebraska comes on to the floor of
this house and lobbies for any bill, as
ne did the other day, it is Governors
Day" and when he does that ! want
the member of this house to under
stand that it will also be 'Reisner's
DayP
These were the words OF Repre-
sentative Reisner OF Thomas county
this morning, when, speaking on a
question of privilege, he addressed the
house covering the episode of last
Wednesday, when he spoke seventeen
times during the morning session.
Calling attention to the newspaper
accounts of the matter, and especially
to lengthy account in Lincoln pa
per, Mr.. Reisner said: "If the news
papers think they can have any fun
with me in this session, they are at
perfect liberty to do so. The news
paper boys are fine bunch of fellows
and | like them all, and they can 70
ahead and have all the fun they want.
One newspaper says that the legisla-
ture was kidding me that day. Well
you can do that if you want to, and it
is all right, and if you can get any
fun out of it you are welcome to it.
But want you to understand that
am being paid $40 a day to come here
and assist in doing business for the
state of Nebraska, and whenever |
can be recognized by the chair | pro-
pose to speak upon any measure
which think affects the state, and try
at least to represent the people who
sent me here.
Whenever there is business to be
transacted, | think you will admit that
| am generally in my seat and doing
my best to have business done. The
newspapers refer to the Wednesday
matter as being 'Reisner Day. !
simply want to say that whenever the
governor of Nebraska comes on the
floor Of this house lobbying for any
bill it is Governors Day and it will
also be 'Reisner's Day"
When the Thomas county member
took his seat he was greeted with long
and vociferous hand clapping as re.
ward for his remarks.

Herr Hofer Says Government
Fear of Agrarians Prevents
Adequate Food Measure.
FINE WORDS INADEQUATE

The Hague, March l0.-(Via Lon
don.)-Further extracts from the
speech of the socialist deputy, Herr
Hofer, during the sensational food
debate in the Prussian diet are
printed in the Berlin Vorwaerts. The
Vorwaerts quotes Herr Hofer as say
ing:
1.-THE government vacillates be-
tween fear OF the agrarians and fear
of the masses like reed in the wind.
If you insist on carrying on war you
must see that the people are ade-
ouately fed. Does it not suffice for
the government to incur the hatred
of the whole world or do they also
want revolution at home? The peo-
pie have been fed on fine words long
enough; we demand deeds"
The Vorwaerts says that Herr Ho-
fer was frequently cheered. Else

terly received a number of complaints
of the poor quality and in different
preparation of the food supplied in
the popular food kitchens at midday
and declares that the evening meals
in these places are unfit for con
sumption. The Vorwaerts asks what
will be the condition in summer il

on the road are entitled to 81, 800 per
annum after eight years Of service,
while the terminal men are only rated
up to $1,000 per year. The policy is
to take clerks from road duty, place
them in terminals and reduce their
salaries. What a prospect for clerk
to face, when after years of faithful
service, after reaching the maximum
salary. he is arbitrarily reduced.
Greater Strain.
Now to the browning triumph of
old man Economy. Ever since the
establishment of the railway mail
service the fact has been recognized
that man compelled to work on a
moving train was under great
physical strain. All railroads recog-
nize this fact and make allowance for
1t. The average postal clerk was
compelled to put in as much, and
quite often more, time than a train
man. Now when q railroad man
comes off his run the time off is his
own to do as he pieases.s Not so the
postal clerk. He Is owned. body and
soul, by the department, who make
the claim that all of his time must be
made subject to its pleasure.
Besides the road duty, the clerk is
compelled to make two examinations

Soldiers of the Kaiser Believe
Ruthless U-Boat Opera

the War.
DO NOT KNOW OF RUPTURE

Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)
British Headquarters in France,
March 9.-(Via London -Blizzards
conditions have prevailed on the
western front for two days, holding
the military operations within a very
small compass. Coming after ten
days thaw and the apparent approach
of an early spring, the renewed cold
has been keenly felt.
The bowling March gales, accompa-
MED by heavy snowfalls, have inter
fered with nearly every phase of
modern warfare activity, except the
persistent roar of the British guns,
which fire continuously, day and
night, regardless of weather, hurting
death, destruction and confusion be-
hind the enemy's lines.
They search out" roads, pound
communication lines to cut off sup
plies, pay attention" to places where
reliefs are likely to take place and
otherwise harrass the Germans, with
scarcely a moments respite.
1t is increasingly evident that in
carrying out their retirement in the
Arras and Somme areas the Germans
sacrificed large numbers of their very
best soldiers. Carefully selected from
various regiments, they were given
certain posts, with instructions to
hold them against all odds, a ma
jority of them having no idea what
ever that they were fighting a rear
guard action. Prisoners taken rep
resent the highest type of the Ger
man army.
1t was not until their repeated rs.
o. S" rocket signals for artillery as
sistance went completely unanswered
that these men suspected the
position in which they had been
placed-that they formed a sacrif-
cial screen covering the retreat OF
the main body of their comrades.
The prisoners still profess belief in
German victory, frankly saying that
they base their confidence largely in
Germany's submarine campaign
which they and all the rest Of the
army have been told is sure to bring
peace within three months. Letters
found on prisoners and dead men
also show the extent to which the
promise of victory through unre-
stricted submarine warfare has been

BOOST FOR GOOD ROADS

The Midwest Cement show is a
matter of history. That is, the 1917
show is history. OF course, there will
be one in 1918. At 9 o'clock last night
the voting in the contest for the &C.
ment house tob given sway officially
closed, and the show closed soon aft
er. Many hundreds Of people saw the
show this year. Larger crowds than
in previous years attended. There
we're more exhibits, and, in fact, prac-
tically all the available floor space in
the municipal auditorium was occu-
pied by exhibits. The matter of who
wins the cement house will probably
not be definitely settled for a few
days, as it will take some time for the
Judges to read all OF the replies, or
votes in the contest. Meantime the
material for the house will rest in the
basement of the Auditorium, to be
claimed by the winner when the an

DR.. George E. Condra of the Uni
versity OF Nebraska opened the pro-
gram at the convention Of the Mid
west Cement Users association at
the Hotel Rome Saturday, with dis
cussion on Coarse Aggregates" in
which he dealt as a geologist with
the various crushed rock materials
that go to the making of substantial
concrete.
Percy Wells OF Omaha, president
OF the George Washington National
highway, spoke on this and other ma
tional highways, assuring the cement
men that the day is not far distant
when these will be paved from end to
end with smooth, hard concrete, and
that the men before him in the asso-
citation will be the ones who will have
to furnish the substantial material for
this work.
S. Z. Searle of Omaha, one of Ne
braska's constant road boosters, spoke
on the economic value OF good roads
to a community or state; George
Walk OF Fremont, consul Of the Lin
coin Highway association, talked on
the progress the Lincoln Highway is
making. I. Fl. Johnson, city engineer
Of Sioux City, talked on concrete

ing rules and regulations (he has
to memorize this complete, as
each year he is compelled to
answer seventy questions taken at
random out OF it,; must prepare slips
for his distribution (this last item
alone requires at least thirty minutes
daily, and is always subject to call
for extra duty, without pay. The de-
partment heretofore has always
recognized this fact and has made All
allowance OF two hours day for this
work, not an excessive allowance by
any means.
Demand More Time.
1t has been the custom to demand
from clerk at least six and no more
than six hours and thirty minutes
actual road duty. This is really more
time than conductors or brakemen on
passenger trains put in, with no study
or preparation for road duty at home.
But now orders have been issued by
which clerks on the road are forced
to put in from six hours and fifty
minutes to eight hours and fifteen
minutes actual road duty, on on an
average of about seven hours and
thirty minutes daily.
By this browning, slave-driving
method, there will be about thirty
four clerks withdrawn from the road
and put in terminals to be reduced,
or they can have the choice OF NOV
ing to some other division. The ma
jority of these clerks either own their
homes here in this city, or else are
paying for them, and il compelled to
move must sacrifice a good deal, be-
sides paying their own expenses of
moving.
1t seems to me that it is about time
that the business men Of this city
were made aware OF the rotten serv-
ice that this efficient postmaster gen.
eral is forcing on them. 1t also means
something to have the income OF
these clerks lost to them. The &C
tual saving to the department is so
small, and considering that it is all
taken from the hide Of the clerks,
that it would seem no one could be
a monster enough to cause this use
less misery to these clerks that will
be compelled to move.
Now, Mr.. Editor, and you, Mr.,
Businessman, is when we need your
support to have this inhuman plan
revoked. No private corporation
would have the audacity to force its
employees to accept conditions of this
kind. The method employed here
savors very much of conditions down
south "befoh de wah."

Mayors Nemesis Files Suit
Against City Commissioners,
Alleging Fraud Deal.
DAHLMAN is NAMED, ALSO

Enter James D. Murphy, citizen OF
Omaha, militant taxpayer, enjoiner
of Mayor Dahlman ct al and self-ap-
pointed guardian OF the public treas
ury.
In an ex rel suit filed in district
court Saturday Mr.. Murphy sues all
the city commissioners, with the ex-
ception of Commissioner Butler, and
Mayor Dahlman and their bondsmen
to recover $l3,7l6.67, which amount,
he says, was "wrongfully and fraudu-
lently" spent in buying two autos and
paying for their upkeep and chauffeur
since 1912. He also asks the court
that the commissioners and the mayor
be removed from Office if his charges
against them are sustained.
Mr.. Murphy files his suit ''as tax
payer in behalf of the city OF Omaha"
the same way he prefaced his recent
suit against Mayor Dahlman which
resulted in the court handing down a
permanent injunction restraining the
mayor from using city autos for pri-
vate business.
Some Auto History.
Mr.. Murphy states in his petition
that the city commissioners and the
mayor "wrongfully and fraudulently
appropriated" funds for the purchase
OF an auto in 1912 He alleges that
they bought new car in 1916 and the
combined cost of the two machines,
plus their upkeep charges and the
$5,846.42 as chauffeur's salary for the
four years, amounts to $l3,7l6.o7, the
amount he asks in his suit.
The petitioner brands the auto
deals Preparation Of public wrong"
gross extravaganza" and "wanton
and unlawful squandering" of the
city's money.
Mr.. Murphy explodes another bomb
by his suit. He states that on Decem-
Der 2, 1916, he served notice on City
Attorney Rine to bring suit against
the city commissioners to recover the
money. He alleges that Rine. Sin
violation of his oath of Office" refused
to bring any action. Mr.. Murphy,
therefore, asks the removal OF Mr..
Rine from Office.
