City Trust Company Loses
Suit It Had THOUGHT Won

Litigation of long standing has
been disposed of in district court,
by the entering of a decree in favor
of the Bankers Mortgage Invest
ment company and against the City
Trust company.
The original action was brought
by the Bankers company against the
Trust company for $4,000 on a
promissory note. The trust COM
pany came back with a counter &C
ton for $4,000 in connection with
the transfer of safety deposit vault,
the trust company having been act
ing as trustee for the Bankers COM
pany. The counter suit was held in
district court in favor of the trust
company and was taken to the state
supreme court on an appeal. The
supreme court reversed the decision
of the lower court and when the
case came back to his court Judge
Day issued a decree in which he
stated that the City Trust COM
pany's petition was without equity
and that there was due the Bankers
company $4,000 as claimed in their
action, plus interest in the sum of
S3.552.76.

NIGHT WORKERS
LOSE HOUR BY
CLOCK CHANGE
Daylight Saving Plan Ends at
2 a. m. Sunday; Trains
Held at Terminals for
One Hour.

Omaha people, or many of them
at least, were puzzled to decide
when to go home Saturday night;
some got there an hour ahead of
time and some an hour late, for
some turned their clocks back an
hour last night and others waited
till this morning.
The test of the daylight saving
plan came to an end officially at 2
a. m. Sunday. This was the Off
cial time for turning clocks back, or,
in some cases, turning them ahead
II hours. Such were the instruc-
tons for the electric clocks of the
Western Union.
The naval observatory clock at
Washington was turned back at
this time, and the master clocks of
the Western Union were also re-
set.
Railroad men predicted last night
that the turning back of the clock
would cause little or no confusion
in schedules. The system was SIM
pie. All passenger trains in termi-
nails at that time were simply to stay
there one hour, then proceed on
their way. If they were late in ar
irving at the terminals, they only
stayed the required time to put
them on the new schedules.
The average citizen who set his
clock back last night got up this
morning at the usual time, and went
about his duties with hardly a
thought of the change. Night work.

ALIEN ENEMIES
RUSH FOR PAPERS
TO OBTAIN Vote
Proposed Amendment to De-
eide Who Shall Vote
RouSeS Germans to
Action.

Frank A. Kennedy. in the current
issue of The Western Laborer,"
takes cognizance of the rush of alien
enemies to obtain first naturaliza-
ton papers at the court house, and
then register with the. election COM
missioner, to be entitled to vote on
November 5.
He notes that the sudden change
of heart of these residents occurred
shortly after the special session of
the legislature provided that there
should be submitted at this election
constitutional amendment on the
question of whether only full-fleged
citizens should be allowed to vote.
No Standing in Court.
"After the blow-up early this
year." he writes, (which caused the
extra session of the legislature to
have submitted to the people a con-
stitutional amendment providing
that only citizens may vote, these
alien enemies have the CUTS to take
out their first papers, so they may
vote in the interest of the kaiser
next month.
"A number of lawyers have told
me that an alien enemy has no
standing in the courts of America.
If that is correct, why does the clerk
of the court and the election COM
missioner accept the tender of these
mems declaration of intentions?
Our boys go to France to uphold
Americanism, while here in Douglas
county we permit alien enemies to
vote. | wonder what the boys in
France will think of us at home,
who permit such rotten deal to
them"
Many Here Long Time.
An analysis of the naturalization
records in the court house shows
that of the alien enemies who have
taken out first papers since May |,
there is one man who has lived in
this county "a years and has never
even taken out his first papers. An
other has been here 81 years and
many in the list have been 40, IS or
80 years.
Approximately two-thirds of the
alien enemies who have taken their
first papers since May |, were born
in Germany; the others are Bohem.
ians, Poles, and others born in
Austria, but at heart are in SYM
pathy with the cause of this country

CAR WINDOWS

Health Regulation Asked
to Combat Flu
Spread.

The Associated Retail Merchants
find that the $50 closing plan
adopted to help relieve congestion
on the cars during the FLU" cpl
demic, does not accomplish the re-
suit desired, and have so reported
to DR.. Manning, the health officer.
The matter has accordingly been
referred back to the association and
will be readjusted in the hope that
plan of action may be found
which will be effective.
1t is probable that some Of the
merchants will close at E and others
at $50. Most of them, DR.. Man
ming states, have indicated desire
to open at 9 and close at s.
A good many complaints have
been made that the street car con-
ductors are paying little or no heed
to the order that cars shall be
ventilated by leaving all windows
open, regardless of weather. This
is a matter that is largely up to the
conductors, and the health officer
suggests that complaints on this
score should be made direct. He
states that cars should be open all
the time, whatever the weather may
be.
The situation Saturday was
doubly aggravated, according to a
number of complaints, by the fact
that the cars were not only closed,
and consequently filled with vitiated
air, but that there was apparently
no attempt to provide heat, in
creasing the danger of contracting
colds or "f1u."

THE FOLLOWING EDITORIAL FROM THE
NORFOLK DAILY NEWS EXPLAINS WHY
PATRIOTIC NEBRASKANS SHOULD SUP
PORT JOHN H. MOREHEAD FOR SENATOR.
Morris Conscience
Senator Norris in one of his campaign leaflets
says 81 prefer to be with the president, but will
be against him rather than violate my own con-
science"
This makes Senator Norris conscience matter
of great public concern. He is perfectly right in
following his conscience, but if his conscience
leads him repeatedly to oppose the president in
the prosecution of the war against German auto
cracy then, certainly, the people of Nebraska who
are with the president should retire the senator to
private life where he can follow his conscience with
out inflictng serious damage upon the allied cause
Senator Norris conscience led him to head
filibuster in the senate against the armng of Amer
lean merchant ships so that they might protect
themselves from German submarines. His con-
science told him that he ought to put his judgment
on that issue against the combined judgment of the
administration and congress- The senate rules gave
Senator Norris power to exercise his Judgment al-
tocratcaly and arbitrarily and he did so. He used
his power to prevent congress from doing what both
congress and the nation believed was the highly
important thing to do
Senator Norris conscience also led him not only
to vote against the war resolution but to denounce
our war for the liberation of the world from the Hun
as war "at the command of gold" and as putting
'the dollar sign on the American flag" If Senator
Norris conscience had dictated to America Ger
many would today be in Paris and on the Belgian
coast and without doubt would be the victorious
oppressor of all Europe and menace to America.
Senator Norris conscience also led him to vote
against the CONSUMPTION bill under which we have
raised our army with which to fight the Germans.
Ii the senator's conscience had prevailed we would
today have only meager army in France the late
victorious drive would have been impossible, and,
at best the situation would have been as serious as
it was before the Germans began to fall back.
Senator Norris conscience also led him to vote
against the revenue bill under which large pro-
portion of the money with which we have financed
our war against Germany has been raised If Sem
ator Norris conscience had had it's way our war pro-
gram would have been inadequately financed and
our part in the war rendered much less effective
that it is today.
Senator Norris conscience has led him into paths
along which patriotic citizens have not been able to
follow him. 1t has proved an untrustworthy guide
in the past; what guarantee have we that it will not
lead him astray in the future?
A conscience such as his is dangerous guide
through the perilous paths which the administration
and congress will have to traverse during the final
days of the war and the early days of peace
VOTE FOR JOHN H. MOREHEAD FOR
UNITED STATES SENATOR.
