FOR FEBRUARY 8
Memorial Day for Former
President Is Set by Gov
ernor McKeIvie for
Next Month.

Lincoln, Jan. 19.-fSpeciai.) -
Gov S. R. McKelvie, in a proc
lamation issued yesterday, calls
upon Nebraskans to observe Feb
ruary 9 as Roosevelt memorial day.
The proclamation follows:
Our country confers few hon
orary titles upon its leaders; it uses
few medals ais symbols Of out
standing fortitude or distinguished
service. But it does deeply re-
we're the memory Of those whose
lives and acts embodied the prin.,
ciples for which the blood of the
nation has again and again been
sacdfced.
On January s Theodore Roose-
welt was stricken. The flags of
the nations of the world stood at
half mast and the heads Of
thoughtful people everywhere
were bowed in difference to his
passing. His was a life of ex-
eeptional leadership and distin-
giisi1ed service to his country.
No monument will adequately
symbolic the characteristics OF
this illustrious American, nor
would il be his wish that such
artificial effort should be made
to perpetuate his memory. He
believed in, and loved, the senti-
ments that were virile and real
the expressions that come from
the heart.
Therefore, in order that the peo-
pie Of Nebraska may unite in pay
ing tribute to the memory Of one
who so well characterized our ma
tons ideals, and in keeping with
an act of congress, / do declare
February 9, this year, "Roose-
Welt Memorial Day" throughout
Nebraska. It is my sincere wish
that all the people of this COM
monwealth shall observe that day
in fitting manner,

AIMS OF BRITAIN
VIRTUALLY SAME
AS THOSE OF U. S.
Only Minor Differences Of
Opinion on Adjustment Of
World Affairs Remain to
Be ReCOnciIed.

Paris, Jan. lo.-Carefui investiga-
ton here has made it possible to
give more completely an outline OF
the war claims of Great Britain and
her general desires regarding the
making of the peace, ..ee.,
The British aims, the unofficial
representation of them shows. are
regarded as in general eoinciding
with those Of the United States
delegation at the peace conference
There are some minor differences
Of opinion between Great, Britain
and America regarding the final ad-
justment of the worlds affairs ano
these differences remain to be rec.
ohciled. On the whole. however
the aims OF the two nations are con-
sidered by British commentators as
identical.
Great Britain believes first, It is
declared in these sources. that
league of nations is desirable and
attainable, and that none = Of the
British war aims will be considered
practicable unless they conform
with the tenets of such league as
is contemplated to realign and gov.
ern the affairs of the universe. She
also believes that things should be
so adjusted that the war aims Of
every country will conform with
those of the others-in other words
that there should be compact Of
give and take.
In addition to the league of ma
tons, one of the great things which
Great Britain hopes will grow Out
of the peace conference. il is ap.
parent, is thoroughly good work
ing agreement with the United
States.
AS to the freedom of the seas
Great Britain, it is maintained, IL
the future as in the past, aim at Sc.
curing the greatest possible free.
dom of commerce TO all nations il
time of peace. This, it is said, is
what she means by the freedom Of
the seas. The question Of the rules
of warfare by sea she considers
quite separate and as requiring dis.
cussion but she hopes that the
causes Of war will be removed.

Industrial Unrest
Is Causing Anxiety
in Great Britain

London, Jan. lo.-The industrial
unrest prevalent throughout the
country is causing serious anxiety,
not only to large employers of la
Dor, but even to conservative labor
leaders. The labor leaders taking
this attitude include ]. H. Thomas,
general secretary Of the railway
mems union, who yesterday warned
a meeting Of postal workers who
were demanding a 42-hour week,
more holidays and curtailment of
night work, that "the industrial and
economic position of this country
gives cause for alarm"
The attitude of the miners has
caused the most comment as coal
and its price more directly affects
the public. 1t is estimated that to
grant a 80 per cent increase in wages
would send the price Of coal up at
least ST ton.

WOULD COMP Ell
FRUIT GROWERS
TO SPRAY Trees
Representative Van Patten In
PRODUCES Bill Looking To-
wards Eradication of
Insect Pests.
From 4 Sac qorrespondent.

e $50
Lincoln, Jan. 19-(Special) -
Compulsory spraying Of Nebraska
orchards for the purpose of better
controlling and more completely
Graduating diseases and insect pests
will be proposed in bill which Rep
resentatiye Van Patten IS having
drawn for introduction in the legis-
lature. Nebraska fruit growers and
the Western Fruit Growers ssso-
eiations Of which L. A. Kinney Of
Hastings is president, are behind the
bill.
A provision is to be included re-
quiring the owners Of orchards
which are beyond redemption to
have them cut down. This is on the
theory that old, worthless trees flrr
nish the breeding place for destruc1
tive insects, which, after attaining
maturity, spread to adjoining or
ehards.
The bill has back of it the horti-
eulturalists interested in improving
the quality of the. Nebraska fruit
crop, which, although superior now
in favor and keeping qualities, has
been able to command only a fair
price on the market because Of the
inseientiflc methods Of orcharding
in many sections Of the state.
Copied After Oregon Law. +
The bill to be introduced will
make it the duty of the careless
orchard owner to spray the same as
does the man who raises fruit fos
market. Penalties will be provided
for failure to do SO. The general
provisions Of the law will Be copied
after the Oregon and Washington
statutes where fruit growing is Of
the first magnitude. The commercial
growers claim. they can raise better
fruit than the article produced on
the Pacific coast, but they cannot
convince the commercial market be-
cause of the lax restrictions regard
ing the keeping of orchards.
The bill will cover the point as 70
what constitutes an orhcard. II will
not attempt to hit two or three
scattering fruit trees in the back
yards, but will apply where there is
group OF dozen of more trees of
the same variety. Spraying will be
necessary at least twice year lN

ZION ! Sac correspondent.

Lincoln, Jan, ls.-The Nebraska
State Railway commission wants
u see the telephone companies
jsrked back out Of Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson's hands as quickly as
possible.
The commission is Numerically
opposed to Burleson's program Of
federal telephone control on the
ground that he entered compensa-
tion contracts without an audit Of
the company's accounts, increased
existing rates without investigation
and conducted the business with
out giving the public a chance to be
heard.
The commission has instructed
G. E. Elmquist of Washington, rep
resentative OF the National Associa-
ton of Railway commissioners to
appear fafore the house postofice
committee and present its views in
the hearing which is being held on
the Moon resolution to extend the
period OF government control OF
wire systems after the treaty Of
peace.
Here is the commissions iustruc-
tions 10 Elmquist:
Kindly express to house COM
mittee on postoffices and post roads
our position on Moon resolution ex-
tending period of government con-
troll or purchase of wire systems as
follows: We favor termination by
congress as soon as possible OF
federal control and operation of the
telephone systems for the follow
ing reasons: The postmaster gem
eral has entered into compensation
contracts with telephone companies
without making any audit Of their
books OF surveys of their proper
ties. The postmaster general has
increased existing charges and has
made new charges for service with
out substantial investigation Of their
necessity and practicability. The
postmaster general has conducted
the telephone business without af-
fording the public an opportunity
to be heard"
