Gently attracted attention to
herself by announcing her candi-
dacy for the United States senator
ial nomination in Nevada. A native
of Nevada, she completed course
at the State university at Reno and
then went to Leland Stanford, Jr.,
Columbia, and Leipsic universities.
After completing her studies she
became a teacher at the University
of Nevada. Before long she began
to be interested in equal suffrage
and other important civic problems.
Her administrative ability and her
vigor in due time brought her to the
post of president of the Nevada
Equal Suffrage league, and it was
then a matter of course for her to
enlist in active support of many ma
tional organizations standing for
civic reform.

Out where tho Stars and Stripes grow

Where the home ties bind wee bit

That's where the West begins.
Out where Freedoms wedge has entered.
Out where the hopes Of the world are

Out where the Huns fond hopes are
blghted.
Where Christian hands have been united,
Where Libertys torches have been lighted,
That's where the West begins.

Out where a new worlds in the making,

Wayne. Neb., Sept. 25.-To the
Editor of The Bee: 1t Is rather
amusing to see some of the letters
in print in your Letter Box and espe-
cially letters written by Frank A.
Agnew. 1t does seem to some. no
doubt, that they know enough to run
our government, but at the same
time never get anywhere for one
believe there are men In congress
that know how to help run this gov
eminent and with the help of Wood
row Wilson / believe we can get
along without criticism from Frank
A. Agnew. II the law says get up
at 8 o'clock a. m. and 1t will help
lick the kaiser, let's all get up.
Being a man that works from 10
to IA hours per day. for one am
ready to stay up all night II 1t will
help the boys over there.
l trust Mr.. Agnew will read this
and get little pep in him and get
out in the morning and be like the

Wooster Impeaches Neville.

Silver Creek, Neb.. Sept 26.-To
the Editor of The Bee: In your edi-
torial of September rs on ''The Ger
man Language Question" you say in
conclusion: THE German language
must be treated in this country
henceforth just the same as any
other foreign language-certainly no
better"
In taking that position you are
on absolutely solid ground and 1t Is
to be hoped you will resolutely main
tain 1t until the close of the war,
and after.
But to say that the German lam
guage must be treated just the same
as any other foreign language Is to
say that it shall not be treated at ALL;
for, until our entry into the war,
the right Of man to speak, preach.
teach or write in any language he
pleased had never been questioned,
and should not have been questioned
since that time. To do SO is to do
stitutional right of free speech. No
good has come of it, or will come
Of it, but only harm and harm con-
tinually. Notwithstanding our Ger
man fellow citizens have been do
ing their full part In buying bonds,
paying taxes and In freely consent
ing that their sons should go to war,
we have been continually nagging
them and prosecuting them in a
manner no less unlawful than
shameful.
And who are these prosecutors?
Primarily, and mostly, our State
Council Of Defense, and the 80 or
more county councils under them
And the worst feature of this nefari-
Gus, rotten, utterly n-American
work of these councils in this matter
is that it is entirely without au-
thority Of law, and not only that,
but in violation Of the constitution
and of the most sacred rights of the
American citizen. There Is not one
word in the act Of the legislature
creating the State Council of De-
Tense, or in the sedtion law Of the
extra session, giving them any au-
thority, or power whatever, as to
the use of the German language
on the streets, over the telephone,
in the schools, or in the churches
AS L puDlcly stated a year and a
half ago, the State Council of De-
Tense Is an abominable nuisance and
ought to be abated.
But" someone may say, shave
you forgotten that the governor is a
member Of the State Council of De-
fense?"
I have not, and so much the worse
for him. He Is sworn to see that the
laws are duly executed. But he not
only does not do that, but, as a
member of the State Council Of De-
Tense, Is party to their violation In
scores Of different ways. And for
this he should be impeached and
put out of office. / am, however, of
the opinion that he is being i'm
peached at the bar of public opinion
and that his present term Of office
will be his last term.

around which to build the structure
of boxes to form the tower" This
will be the worst damage yet done
to the lawn, and l want to protest.
Have they secured a building per-
nit for this structure? And. If not,
why not? The lawn looks bad
enough now without putting up this

Ponca, Neb., Sept. 24.-To the

there are in the United States army

LOIS BUTLER.
Answer: We cannot give the num-
Der of general officers In the army
definitely, as that information is only
to be had at the War department,
which Is keeping 1t secret. Roughly,
however, the new army will consist
of at least 100 divisions of $4,000
men each, a major general at the
head of each division. These will
be grouped into 20 army corps, each
commanded by major general. In
each division will be at least three
brigades, commanded by brigadier
general. Over all will be one general
commanding in France and one In
America. Then we have the quar-
termaster general, the paymaster
general, the surgeon general, the
general commanding the air service,
and the general in command of the
signal corps, besides a number of
others of this rank on staff duty.
