Lincoln, April 27-The move

Ing held In the Office of Sen. c. P.
Peterson of Lincoln in which ae-
ton was taken for the invoking of
the referendum for recall of the
new primary law and for which pea

recall of the administrative code

This will open the food gates. so

was fight. Among them will be

or two others.

made that the bill had little chance
for consideration. The fact that af-
ter passing the senate it was under
consideration in the house with two
public hearings and that something
like 100 amendments of a minor ma
ture were made to the bill, which
were finally considered by the SEN
ate and conference committee and
adopted by both houses rather ex-
plodes the charge that the bill did
not have very much consideration.
!, There has been a decided feeling
for years that the principal upon
which the business of the state was
carried out was not up to date and
in many ways unsatisfactory. a
partial change was made a few
years ago when the control of the
state institutions were taken from
the state officers as a board and
transferred to three men appointed
by the governor While some have
not felt that this has even been a
success perhaps in the way it was
expected, yet the people were will
ing to give it trial and even now
with as much criticism as it has
received, yet it is generally felt that
it was step in the right direction.
Changes Up to Legislature.
Under our representative form of
government it is~up to the legis-
lature to make such changes in the
business methods of the state which,
in their wisdom, they feel ought to
be made. They discuss theseemeth-
DDS thoroughly and after enacting
them into law, it is nothing more
than just that they should be CIV
EN- a trial before the work of the
legislature has been declared of no
account by the use of the refer
endum. If the referendum can he
evoked whenever any class become
dissatisfied with an act of the leg
islature, there is not much use to
60 to the trouble of having a leg
islative session. Any act, unless it
is especially vicious, and the legis-
lature of the state of Nebraska is
not likely to enact laws of that
kind, is entitled to trial.
In early days when a man was
suspected of horse stealing the aid
of Judge Lynch was invoked, and
he was strung up without a trial
and that ended it. Is the same prop
osition to be carried out in the mat
ter of laws passed by the last leg
islature? Should these laws be hung
up without trial? Should they be
sent to the jury before the trial, or
should they = be given a chance to
see if they are workable? And then,
if they fail, the next legislature can

on his pulse, watched him closely,
then apparently relieved by the eff
feet Of her effort, made a signal
with her unoccupied hand, which
swept US noiselessly out of the
room into he corridor outside,
where we waited, miserably ap-
prehensive, until the nurse came out
to us.
Lillian Amazes Madge.
Hes resting peacefully for the
present. she said. But he mustn't
be allowed to speak again of any
thing exciting. And for the next few
hours I can have no one in the room
but myself"
Upon his arrival, little later, the
physician not only upheld the
nurses decision, but announced that
the same policy of absolute quiet
must be enforced for days. He
promised Lillian and Mrs. Cosgrove
that after the first dangerous day or
two they might take turns in re-
iieving the nurse, reiterated his be-
lief that the artist had been under a
most unusual nervous strain. and
iightened the weight that had set
tied upon US by holding out dis
tinct hope for the ultimate recovery
of the stricken man.
Lillian rallied to this as if it were
a slogan. With her old energy she
planned for Mrs. Cosgrove's COM
fort, saw her safely settled for a
nap, made the necessary arrange
ments for her prolonged stay, then,
after taking me to the library, sue
ceeded in thoroughly astonishing
me.
l thought I knew her capacity for
putting her own affairs out of her
mind to make room for the petty
troubles of others, but when she
said casually: "And now, as won't
be able to 60, we'd better discuss
your costume for Rita's affair."" l
first caught my breath in sheer
amazement, then turned upon her
indignantly.
"Rita's affair, indeedr" I stormed.
do you think I'm going to permit
you to bother your head for min
ute about a useless piece of frippery
like that, with all you have on hand
here? Not for one minute! I'm 60
ing to put you back to bed, and
then I'm going home. I really must"
Il answered the sudden look of
disappointment in her face-"school
tomorrow, you know"
ITS All OF"
II know" she replied, "and you've
been wonderful to stay. I won't
say anything more about the cos
tune today, but I'm going to plan it
just the same. 1t will mean a great
deal to you, too, Dicky, and, Incl
dentally, to me-" she smiled affec-
tionately at me, IF no one at that
affair outshines you in originality
of costume and general scrump-
tiousness. So run along home, with
your mind at ease, only promise me
you'll manage to keep Dicky from
knowing that I'm planning anything
for you"
HE said he was going to design
something for me himself"
That's pie with cheese on the
side" she said with relief. Hell
be too busy to suspect us, and if he
knows it's all off, Dicky is the dear
est boy in the world, but anybody
can worm a secret out of him"
Her off-hand Characterization
troubled me as I travelled home
ward. It wasn't the first time I
had heard this criticism of my

husbands garrulous nature, from
Lillian's lips, and there was al
ways a feeling of disloyalty to him
in listening to the structure without
objection. Yet there was nothing
for me to say, for in my heart
knew that she had spoken naught
save the truth.
But l had another and deeper
cause for worry. If Dicky designed
a costume for me, and | didn't wear
it | was afraid that he would be
justly grieved and angry. | had not
voiced the thought to Lillian, for 1
wished to bring not even the small
est complication into her life so
piled just now with work and wor-
ny. But it was a problem which
doomed vexatiously before me.
For this reason, I'm ,afraid,
wasn't even deeently, humanely re-
gretful when. Dicky few evenings
later announced brusquely:
by the way. Madge, about that
costume party of Rita's?"
Eyes," I said expectantly.

Rita's got the flu, danger of pneu-
monia--anyway, there's nothing do
ing in the party line for her for
some time. You couldn't let me off
the other blowout, could you?"
I glanced at him sharply, wonder
ing in dismay if he meant it. But
the next instant l had caught the
twinkle in his eye, which told me
that he would carry out his promise
to go with me to the Bayview gath
ering.

Many Women Register
For City Election to
Be Held at Lincoln

Lincoln, April 27.-(SpeciaD-All
eyes Of the state will be turned to-
ward Lincoln when city election day
rolls around, for already nearly 1000
women alone have registered. The
unusual activity is caused because
the proposition is up to the people
of the capital city of the state as to
whether it shall continue to be the
"Holy City, or whether it shall
throw open Sunday to be used for
amusements.
1t is said that unusual interest has
been taken by the theaters in having
young women clerks in stores and
workers in factories register in
hopes that they will be for open the
aters on Sunday. On the other
hand, it is understood that those
opposed to an open Sunday have
succeeded in having a large number
of women register who will oppose
the plan.
In any event Lincoln is alive to
the situation and with the interest
ing contest on for members of the
city commission the election will be
one of the most interesting in the
history of the town.

GIRL LEADS TO

ACC0STED HER
Salesman Gets in Tolls OF
Law After Following Win
some Waitress for
Several Blocks.

Have you ever seen girl so
alluring that you'd follow her to
Jail? Alonzo ]. Alexander. Coun-
Gil Bluffs fruit salesman, has. He
saw her last night, according to the
police, followed her to Jail put up
500 bond for his appearance in
court this morning and then pur-
chased a pair of dark glasses and
set of binders.
Here is the story Of the mirage
that led the docile Alonzo to the
city Jail, as it was told by Miss
Emily Ariel, 220l Farnam street,
the pretty, 20-year-old mirage"
Emily passed the Strand theater
about 9 o'clock last night. Alonzo's
eyes rested on her, swan around in
his head twice and refused to leave.
Hello, Sister" he whispered. Emily
ignored him and proceeded on her
way east on Douglas street through
the Sunday night crowds. Alonzo
followed. Emily went into a drug
store to call the police and Alonzo
still trailed. The telephone had
waiting list of some 80 souls, so
Emily started east on Douglas
street again, bound for the police
station.
AT Eleventh street Emily turned
north half a block, and still
Alonzo followed. Emily walked in
to- the police station; told Charlie
Van Deusen, emergency officer,
about her trailer, and she and
Charlie stepped out to talk it over
with Alonzo. Alonzo was waiting
meekly in front Of the police sta.
ton for the apple Of his eye. When
he saw her again in the company
of Van Deusen he remembered
that he had an engagement four
miles out of town. Charlie started
in pursuit and apprehended Alonzo
at Twelfth and Douglas streets.
Alonzo was charged with dis
orderly conduct He says it's all
mistake, that he wasn't following
Emily, in fact, he was on the other
side of the street all the time. He
works for Gilinsky and Son Fruit
company, and lives at 36l5 Avenue
A, Council Bluffs. He is widower,
he says. Emily Ariel is a waitress.

as hers. She gave the great, appeal

they so hungrily awaited.
Everything is all right" she said,
slowly, distinctly. Nothing in the
world matters except that you are
safe home with your sister and me.
Just let us take care of you, and
don't worry"

league and their activity in the mat
ter of recall of the primary law is
given as an indication that an or
ganized movement to discredit the
work of the legislature is on foot.
The action of w. ]. Taylor, known
nonpartisan Lacquer. the only rep
resentative of the league in the
senate, in introducing a bill which
would have amended the primary
law so as to 60 back to the "open"
primary, thus enabling the league
to stand a good show of controlling
nominations in both political parties,
and his bitter fight for that bill, to-
gether with his strong denunciation
of the new primary law which will
make it all the harder for the league
to control nominations of either
party, goes to show that there is
strong organized effort, backed by
opponents of these measures along
the lines Of discrediting the legisla-
ture.
Stand Of Peterson.
The strange part OF the whole
matter is why Senator Peterson,
who had many a clash with Senator
Taylor on matters of legislation and
who fought the latter's amended
primary bill, should now line up on
the side of Mr.. Taylor and his
league. 1t is true that Senator Pet
erson opposed the new amended pri-
mary bill, but there is wonder on
the part of some of his friends as
to just why he takes the action he
now takes for the recall OF the pri-
mary law, when similar action is to
be taken Oh the recall Of the admin
istrative code law, in which he was
the right hand man of the governor
in securing its passage, which sim
ply means that he has tied himself
up so that he cannot take an ef-
fective stand against the recall Of
the code law when he has already
made a stand for the recall of the
primary law, passed by the same
legislature.
