country. Friends. in referring to the
loss Of their dearly loved leader. were
overcome with emotion. Both bodies
adjourned out OF respect TO the
Coloners memory.

Court at the announcement Of Roose-
velts death set a precedent. for II
was the first time in history that body
had adjourned for such a reason.
Flags on the Capitol and every pub
lie building in the city were lowered
and Secretary Daniels and Gen. March
ordered flags half masted on every
ship, shore station, camp and military
post throughout the country and
abroad. Secretary Glass and Post.
master General Burleson issued simi-
lar orders for public buildings under
/ their Jurisdiction.
Social Events Called Off.
Entertainments Of various kinds
planned for yesterday afternoon
and evening were summariIy post
poned or called of entirely in re-
spect to the memory Of Col. Roose-
welt, private citizen. Because OF

listed so long between the Colonel
and the National Press Club their
annual riot" scheduled for last
evening, was Immediately called off
by officers OF the club ASsistan,

GOVERNOR coaNWelrs GREAT SPEECH.

Accepting an invitation from the
New England Society of New York,
Governor John j. Cornwcn .deliv-
cred a great speech at the II 9TH
annual festival of the society in
New York on Dec. e2d, which is
SO timely and admirable. SO strong
and convincing in the principles it
proclaims and advocates that il
should be generally read and pom
dcredk To This end we will pub
lish the speech in fun next week
and respectfully urge every reader
of this paper TO give it a thoughtful
perusal. Ii is refreshing in these
Days when partisanship SO often
takes the place of patriotism and
craftsmanship, and men in public
life cover before The clamors of the
mob and lend listening ears 10 the
wild propaganda of men who would
destroy the government and substi-
tute anarchy for existing law and
order, TO have at the head of the
State government a man able and
willing TO sec the right and with
the courage and patriotism to stand
unflinchingly for IL. The speech is
strong, clear statement of danger
that now bcsets the country with
,afew pertinent suggestions well
worth mature consideration.

MeDbtEsoMe coxsRESS.

The congressional attitude toward
the settlement of the coal strike af-
fords the latest example of The pet
fish and spiicful disposition of con-
gresS.
While the coal strike was in pro-
Xress, congress did nothing TO bring
about a settlement. Industry might
be paralyzed. and the country might
freeze, for all congress cared. 1t
would not lift hand TO remove the
menace.
After weeks Of patient effort. of
len under exceedingly diScourag-
ing conditions, President Wilson ef-
fected settlement which was ac-
cepted by both miners and opera
tors and which promises TO provide
basis for the establishment of
lasting peace in the coal industry.
The menace of freezing and the ac-
tuality of industrial inactivity were
diSsipatcd.
Now our Congress awakens.
Something has been accomplished.
Therefore. there is something to be
criticized. Ii has been accomplish
ed by President Wilson. There
fore it affords a new opportunity
to find fault with Wilson. That is
the congressional view.
Hence we have congressional
committees inquiring into the plan
by which the strike was settled,
seeking to find fault With il, to
show that different plan might
have been employed, to convince
the public that great wrong has
been committed in settling n strike
that .gravely menaccd the whole
country.
The public is growing tired Of
such pcttish and spiticfuI tactics.
They are going TO show their en-
phsrtic disapproval of congress
and political party that have found
no other excuse for their present
existence than to find fault with
Wilson and whatever Wilson may
do.-CharieSion Gazette.

''Penny Pinching" Policy

Omaha ministers and social work
ers are incensed at what they con-

the part Of the city council, in re-
fusing to give Police Commissioner
Ringer the amount he asked to run
the womens detention hospital dur
ing 1910.
1T would be a shame" said Rev.
Paul Calhoun, pastor of the Cen
trail United Presbyterian church, ito
let our boys who have escaped Hun
bullets como home only to be
pierced by the poisoned arrows of
the vencreal disease. Uncle Sam,
when he found he had to fight
the Hun, took stock of himself and
found that his worst enemy in the
ranks of the lighting men was So
cial disease. He found that by cur
ing it he could build a better army.
Aud in peace time we can build
better society by curing the social
disease. l saw some of Uncle Sans
work at Camp Lee, Va, where u
was stationed during mobilization.
The conditions among the young
drafted men who came there were
simply appalling.
One for Men, Too.
I'VE ought not only to continue
this detention hospital for the wo-
men, but we ought to have one for
men, too. Many OF them are just
as bad and just as big a menace to
the community.
eff we quarantine for smallpox,
why shouldn't we quarantine for
these social diseases, which are
hundred times worse"
Rev Titus Lowe, pastor of the
First Methodist church, said:
"The detention hospital ought, by
all means, to continue. If they can
treat and cure e. women there at
the same time. the aggregate
amount OF good done will be en-
ormous. Social disease is one of
the great iuenac"s of our time and
civilization. If the statements Of
doctors are true regarding the ex-
tent of the disease. it is simply
alarming, and ] hope no measures
or money will be spared to curb it
in this community and everywhere
else"
Rev. Harry B. Foster, presiden
of the Omaha Church federation, d.
clarcd that the hospital, if nece~
sary i'll war time, is doubly neces
