ANCIENT STATUETTE ISl
 FOUND BY AMERICAN

MEXICO CITY, May 16 (by Associ- ated Press).-A statue of "Xochipilli," ," Aztec god of flowers, has been dis covered by William Niven. an Ameri- can archeologist, who has been con. ducting investigations for many years in this city. The statuette, the first representation of the god known to have been discovered in virtually a perfect state of preservation in mod. ern times, was dug up at Atzcapot. zalco, a suburb of the capital, which prior to the coming of Cortez was the seat of powerful Indian nation, but which at the time of the conquest was the great slave mart of the inhabit ants of Tenoxtitlan, home of the Az tees and the site of the modern City of Mexico. In addition to it's slave trade, Atzcapotzalco was noted for its expert jewellers and wonderfully cllti vated gardens. "Xochipilli" is sup posed to have presided over one o1 these gardens.

TRAIN CARRYING GOLD
 IS WELL GUARDED

BRUSSELS, May 16 (by Associated Press).-The official train from Ger. many which transported to Brussels 220,000,000 marks in gold carried also 100,000,0OO marks in thousand-mark bank notes. Most of these are to be exchanged against their equivalent in bank notes of 50, 20, 5, 2 and 1-mark denominations out of the seven mil. lizards of marks of German money stored in the vaults of the Belgian National Bank.
 The exchange is made in response to demand from the Reichsbank, which lacks bank notes of small amounts.
 The train which arrived with the German gold was escorted by 100 sol diers, and a machine gun was posted on each wagon till the train reached the Belgian frontier

WICK REFUSES TRUST PEOPLE
 TO DECIDE IT

Former Delegate James Wicker sham says that he has definitely de- cided not to offer his name as a can didate for election as delegate to con- gress at the special election that Is to be held June 3. He will rely upon what he regards as chance to con test successfully the election held last November.
 It is said that Wickersham has de- cided that he stands a better chance to win a contested election case than to gain the favor of the Alaska voters. Since the end of the war hundreds Of Alaskans have returned from the war men who had entered the service of the country and were willing to offer their lives in the life and death strug- gle against German autocracy. These men were not in Alaska to vote at the last election, and Judge Wickersham Is afraid that so many of them would vote against him, and that he would lose so many of the votes because of the assaults he made against Alaska development during the two months that he held seat in the last con- gress, that there is absolutely no chance for him to be elected by the people; therefore he will make a fight on technical grounds for the seat in congress and place on the payroll.
 Circumstances Favor Wick
 Judge Wickersham has arrived at his decision not to let the people of Alaska decide the question as to who they want for delegate if he can pre- vent it., notwithstanding that all the advantage in the fact of short cam paign and the likelihood of not reach ing some of the outlying precincts with election supplies and notices is in his favor. He has been candidate be- fore the people of Alaska in congress sional elections six times, and has only recently completed the most thorough

campaign of the territory that any man ever made. For more than four months he toured up and down Alas ka's areas, visiting most of the pre- cincts of all four of the territorial di- visions. He is probably the most widely-known man in the territory, and is known by many times as many voters as know MT. Grigsby.
 Further than that, the remote pre- cincts of the Koyukuk, Fortymile, Chandalar, Kantishna, Bristol Bay and elsewhere, where there may not be elections, gave majorities against him in the late elections. The pre- cincts which will hold elections in June gave him a plurality in the No vember election.
 People Should Decide
 In the election last fall it is con- ceded that the late Delegate Sulzer received more votes than Judge Wick ersham. The latter, however, has con- cluded, upon the advice of Juneau poli- ticians, and, it is said, depending upon his ability as a wire-puller at Wash ington, to upset the result of that election and have enough votes thrown out to leave him with small plurality. Even if he should win in his efforts he would have to admit that, counted at it's best from his standpoint, last years election would be practically a stand-off-a tie. Yet, notwithstanding the advantage short campaign would give him, he is un- willing to permit participation in a decision as to who will be their rep resentative by the returned soldiers and war workers-there will probably be from 1,500 to 2,0OO more voters in Alaska June than there was last November, and all of them are and will be constituents of the delegate to congress.

GERMANY SUFFERS FROM
 SHORTAGE OF SUGAR

BERLIN, May 16 (by Associated Press) The sugar famine from which Germany is now suffering is mys- tery perplexing German housewives, as sugar, owing to the beet-root in- dustry, has been common staple even during the war. Because of the sugar shortage the nations supply of marmalade seems to be completely exhausted.
 Political and industrial disturbances are blamed for the restricted output of beet sugar. The factories have been shut down altogether or are run ming on short hours.
 Large quantities of sugar are said to have disappeared mysteriously or to have been confiscated by local sol diers and workmen's councils.

Will Rhode Island Secede?

An interesting phase Of prohibition is now
developing in the request made by the sovereign
state of Rhode Island that it be permitted to at
tack in the supreme court the validity of the con-
stitutional amendment that provides for nation
wide prohibition The course is rather different
from that pursued by South Carolina in its
notification" effort, but it does involve in some
way the same general relations. Resistance to
the federal power has been noted in several
stages Of the nations development, but in each
instance the objection has finally been resolved
in favor of the central government. In this it
will not be whether or not Rhode Island has a
right to regulate its own internal affairs, but
whether the other states have the power to de-
termne what the protesting state shall do in
matter that is of common concern to all. Little
Rhody's" purpose to reach a determination Of
this question will be followed with interest, for
it will finally determine another point in con-
nection with relations between the states one to
another and their common relation to the fed

fine beatitudes of John Lee Webster's dress.
The guest may scorn the station with its

has been enclosed in John Lee Websters fist,
when he has seen suit of clothes the eye can
not resist, though he may go to visit king, mi

and hang to Omaha.

heads the grandest banquet boards with gifts
Of finest art, with wit which entertains the ear

He argues to the jury on basis of the facts,
the evidence of motives and significance Of acts;
but logic is thing at which the jury often balks

Socialistic Futility

The Italian socialists elected about 80 per
cent Of the deputies of the new chamber. They
insulted the king when he made his opening
speech Because their tactics drew upon them
the merited rebukes of their parliamentary as
sociates, the socialist deputies appealed to their
Fellows throughout Italy to do something des-
perate to manifest their resentment. Something
like 1 general strike was attempted, with dis
orderly demonstrations in many cities.
The futility of such an effort was indicated
BY the overwhelming condemnation of the gen.
eral public. Only in the relatively unimportant
city Of Mantua did the socialist mob gain the
upper hand for few hours. Elsewhere the po
q lice, cheercd and sometimes aided by the civil
ians, made short work of the disloyalists. Even
in Milan where the socialists are supposed to
be strongest the disorder was speedily quelled
There is no general strike, but there are many
socialists with sore heads in Italy today.
Italy's socialists are peculiarly pestiferous
lot In each country the word socialist has a
distinct meaning, but no general definition. OF
the term is possible. The German socialists
who are running the Ebert government are mid

are brothers of the bolshewiki. They shout

In Case a Burglar Comes.

Just how to behave when burglar comes
may in general way be left to the individual,
as circumstances vary and it is not wise to lay
down hard and fast rules to govern conduct
The practice at present is to be polite; the
Omaha burglars of the hour are courteous and
affable, evidently we'll versed not only in the
etiquette of their profession, but utterly lacking
in the rough ways that once distinguished the
gi1d. Bill Sykes, for example, would be dread
fully out of place in any of the burglarious ven
lures now being staged in this community. Any
little attention shown guest of this sort will
be greatly appreciated by him. and of course
will soften whatever of asperity may attach to
the cali To avoid being burgled, which may
concern some, it is only necessary to refrain
from accumuating anything worth having
Those who indulge in diamonds, money, private
stock, or other evidences Of prosperity or fore
sight, must expect to share with those who have
not So the easy way to safety lies in the direc-
ton of Dominican order-it being vowed to per-
petual poverty In event the burglar comes
under no circumstances should you disturb the
the police. 1t annoys them and might interfere
with their plans for overhauling crap shoot
ing" fest or some other dangerous and nefarious
pursuit of a similar nature. 1t is quite All fait
and even recherche, but not de rigeur, to report
the matter to the press, that it may be men
toned among other small talk on the society
page But do not bother the police, and be
polite to the burglar.

"A Pretty Good Old Document"

While methods of procedure were under dis
cussion at the constitutional convention, one of
the delegates suggested that the present con-
sttution be taken up section by section, and
such changes as need be made, for, he con-
cluded, ut is a pretty good old document" The
applause which followed this might be taken as
an indication Of sentiment in the convention.
The constitution of the state Of Nebraska
was framed by men whose vision saw the COM
ing of a mighty commonwealth men in whose
souls the light of liberty shone clear and steady,
and whose devotion to high ideals of cit-
zenship was coupled with courage to do
right and fear not. And these men gave
Nebraska constitution that permitted the
exercise of liberty under the law, that
sanctifed the rights of the individual, and
brought wholesome growth to the state.
Nebraskans do not require or need a new
constitution to provide them equality before the
law, to insure to each man the enjoyment of his
home, the privilege of making the utmost of
his natural ability or talent and full opportunity
to better his condition by industry and thrift.
We do not need new constitution to safeguard
the ballot, to provide for the education of our
children, to protect US in the worship of God,
or to secure immunity from oppression and tyr
amy. The existing constitution does all these
things for US.
Nebraskans do not want constitution that
is predicated on class distinctions of any sort.
Nor do they want embedded in their funda
mental law provisions that rest on unproven
theories or untried experiments. They have "a
pretty good old document" which has served
very we'll during years of leanness and fairness,
which permits of expansion as experience shows
the need, and under which the coming years
may confidently be faced Delegates now in
session at Lincoln will do we'll to remember this.

Bible In the Schools.

Omaha, Dec. 15.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: In the Monday evening
Bee the writer read the notice Of the
Omaha Preachers union relative
to their purpose Of introducing Bible
reading into our public schools by
legislation, and this move our bene-
VIOLENT Superintendent Beverage ap-
pears to heartily advocate. Let Mr..
Beverage remember that he is not
private citizen and his holding Of
flee entails that duty of not giving
special credence or partially to any
attempts to bring out public schools,
mind you, not private, under any
certain religious influence whatso-
ever. Anyone can see the justice of
this where there is such a lack of
unanimity in matters religious, with
one an atheist, another Jew, or a
Catholic, or one of the various
"isms." Moreover, if our state laws
are in conformity with our national
policy expressed in the constitution,
as they should be, there could be no
room for any consideration of such
impracticable fads, for it has there
in words to this effect, the church
anu SlalC cllC oSpdl otC anu llioCCu
how could it be otherwise at present
Now if our public schools are not
fulfilling their purpose in fostering
good morals and citizenship then
they are failure; but. this cannot
be remedied by moulding our school
children after the methods thus ad-
vocated The public school funds
are for the sole purpose of educating
youths along those lines which will
fit them for the immediate future,
that of earning their living properly,
and not for saving their souls; let
their church take care of that.
Mans free will was given by God,
and no one may overrule 1T, in these
matters especially, and it surely Is
mans right to denounce having his
children taught the Bible, as well
as to object to any such unsavorable
proceedings, and parenthetically I
may insert that not merely the read
ing of the Bible would be brought
in. Since other creeds can bring up
their children in their schools prop
erly, and since the Omaha ministers
cannot tolerate our public school
system, let them inaugurate a sys-
tenn for their own sphere to keep
their flock from contamination.
To test their sincerity, let me ask
what version they prefer, or can
there be difference Of belief on
such common necessity? Finally.
the trouble with some Of you men
is you are rotten to the core. What
the world needs today is little
more forbearance and Christian
charity.

magazine cover framed. Just the
thing for Christmas presents. Or

why / know who makes them"
cried Peggy, Elizabeth Ramsey, in
my room at school. She has filled
ever so many orders already. Last
week, she got two department stores
and that book store to display sons
pictures she had framed on her own
hook without orders for them. They
really are artistic and very attrac-
tive. All during the year, she saves
! unusual magazine covers--a pretty
! head or good picture by some
well-known artist, or striking con-
ventional design such as appears on
some of the smart fashion maya
Zines now and then. She has made
arrangements with hardware store
to cut glass to fit each picture at
about 20 cents apiece"
Almost any girl can do just as
Betty Ramsey did and make neat
little sum out of it too. The ma
terials needed and the work required
are very simple. The paspartouting
tape comes on a spool. 1t has glue
on one side. Cardboard cut from
shoe or suit boxes makes the back
of the picture. The glass, picture,
and cardboard are bound together
at the edges with the tape. When
they are so bound together, the
.ape makes neat, black frame for
the picture.
The only problem then remaining
is to market the pictures and this
may be solved just as Betty solved
it by arranging for some store to
display the completed pictures and
take orders on a commission basis,
for other pictures.

Befuddling Reason.

Editor Of The Bee: Public opinion
is switching to conservative posi-
ton relative to spiritology, inasmuch
that the common belief SINNERS
down to Chancellor Days oft-quoted
axiom: 'sThis Is a good enough
world for anyone, etc" Indeed few
will dispute such q natural feeling,
provided he has plenty Of '''the root"
and a general degree of health to
enjoy life. But once adversely
strikes a hard blow at these citadels
Of inspiration. straightway q look
upward is sent to the God Of the
heart.
This decline in real spirituality
and lack Of credence Of Holy Writ,
is responsible for the many spurious
hopes now befuddling the race. The
most delusive of all these strange
fire.. oblations is surely that of So
called spiritual science" Losing
hope in the Divine Oracle, the
minions Of darkness have taken ad-
vantage of the situation and are
bringing in veritable flood of evil
suggestion which kills any Bible
Faith which may have smoldered in
the breast. Hence, representations
by these demons of loved ones, to-
gether with some mysterious SEN

keep the investigation up, feeds the

instead Of getting the meat Of the
word everlasting.

The Automatic Flagman.
BY GRANT N. HYDE.

who rings the bell at the rail
road crossing, dad? 1t rings when
ever train comes, but there is no
one around to ring il"
THE train rings it-just as it sig
nails ahead and behind by means of
the block system of signals
through simple automatic electric
device. 1t is very handy, too, for
it enables Z railroad to furnish
safety warning at lonesome cross
ings, far out in the country, day or
night, without hiring flagman.
IF you look at the track near the
bell signal, or automatic hagman,
you will notice that a heavy wire
connects the two rails together at
each rail-joint. This wiring of the
rails extends, you will find, perhaps
half mile in each direction. Op-
posite the bell you will find wood
uncovered trough leading from the
rails to the bell pole. If you could
see into the trough, you would find
wire leading from each rail to the
bell If you were to place a wire
or an iron rod across the track,
touching both rails, the bell would
ring.
