the riot last Sunday night and to
get first-hand view of the situa-

bility in case trouble should come,
but says that, on the other hand,
he offered the services of the law
enforcement body if the authorities
there deemed it necessary. He went
to North Platte Saturday to speak
at county fair, and had a similar
date there today, and between the
two dates he accepted All invitation
to go on hunt out in the hills.
He effectually settled the contro-
vcrsy of who was responsible for
taking action with the War depart
ment to get the federal troops into
Omaha claimed by several different
individuals, and told reporters for
the newspapers that General Wood,
in speech at Omaha yesterday,
said that the order had been issued
at the request of the governors Of

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 1.-(Specia1.)
The week beginning November 3
has been designated Educational
week" by Governor McKelvie, who
has issued the following proclama-
ton:
Education lies at the foundation
of progress, and Nebraska has al
ways been proud Of the progress she
has made through her educational
institutions.
During the war the profession OF
teaching was seriously affected, and
the educational affairs of the state
suffered greatly on account Of the
large number of teachers who were
attracted away from the profession.
From observations that l have
been able to make, I am thoroughly
convinced that the changes and re-.
forms which are imminent with ref
erence to our educational system
and the teaching profession are sub
jects that should command the i'm
mediate and thoughtful attention OF
all of the people of the state.
Therefore, in order that these
facts may be emphasized, I desire
to designate the week beginning
November 3 as educational week."

RULES SPECIAL
SESSION Cannot
Be ASSEMBLED
Attorney General Says Doug
las County Board Can Call
Special Election to
Vote Bonds.

Lincoln, Oct. l.-(Speeial.)-Ac-
cording to a ruling of the attorney
general, special session of the leg
islature cannot be called to pass a
law permitting Douglas county to
vote money to repair the court house
ruined by the mob Sunday.
The attorney generals office says
no such action is necessary because
an act of the session OF the legisla-
ture of 1918 amended by the 1919
legislature gives the county board
authority to call a special election
for the purpose of voting bonds.
The opinion is based upon a provi-
sion in house roll 318. ...
This section of the statutes ap-
pears to limit the amount to be
raised to 100000, which, in the case
of the Omaha disaster, would hardly
be sufficient. However, another
paragraph of the same section pro-
vides that "In a case where any
bridge, or any public building, the
property of any county within the
state, be injured or destroyed by
any person or persons wilfully or
maliciously, it shall be the duty of
the county board to sue for and re-
cover such damages.
