White Men to Nebraska. s.
The History of Omaha, by Saw

first visit of white men to this part
of the country:
"The earliest record of its (Ne-
braska) having been visited by Eu-
ropeans, dates back to the year 1910.
This expedition, which certainly
reached the southern boundary of
Nebraska, has been the subject of
much thought and study, and of
more. contradictory and diverse
theories, than any event of the kind
in ancient or modern times"
The expedition referred to was
said to have been undertaken by
Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, a
bold Spaniard of Alamanca..

Whatever may have been the
achievements of Coronado, it seems
that he did not leave his forwarding

To appreciate the world condi-

Europe and America was an ad-

Sound-Proof Room Asked
For Bedford Mysteries

Bedford, N. Y. Feb. 2S-The an
nuol report Of the state reformatory
for women has been forwarded to
the legislature by the board OF man
ayers, Of which William G. Barrett
is president. It was drawn up pre-
vious to the recent investigation OF
charges of cruelty in the institution.
1t is recommended that a sound
proof room be provided in the hos
pitsl building so that hysterical in
mates may be locked in where they
can make all the noise they please
without disturbing the orderly wo-
men.
Both the board OF managers and
Miss Helen Cobb, superintendent
suggest in the report that the state
employ a psychiatrist and psy-
chologist to examine the mentality
of the women when committed and
separate from the simply unruly
those of abnormal character for spe.
cial treatment in the hospital.

WOMEN'S VOTE IN
RACE ,OF 1920 IS
UP TO3 STATES
Connecticut. Vermont ano
Washington to Decide
States Already Ratified.

The chance that women of the
United States are to vote in the 1926
presidential election now hangs
upon the action of three republican
states-Connecticut Vermont and
Washington.
Thirty-two states have ratified.
Oklahoma undoubtedly will ratify
August 3, and West Virginia is
scheduled to become the Saith state
at special session.
Chicago suffrage headquarters re-
ceived the news that Governor Hol-
comb OF Connecticut is on the point
of calling an extra session. 1t is
largely up to Senator Brandegee, it
is reported, the senator being the
controlling force, in the last analy-
sis-and he hasn't been for suffrage.
Majorities of the legislature and OF
the republican state committee have
asked Governor Holcomb to issue
the call, but he has taken no action.
Vermont Awaits Word.
Vermont awaits some word from
Governor Clement. He is pro-
nouncedly against ratification, but
his legislature is understood to be
ready to ratify as soon as it can get
together.
Washington is in the hands OF an
acting governor, who refuses to call
an extra session because of repuo-
lican factional disturbances. He
wishes the assurance that the special
session will ratify and adjourn I'M
rnediately.
Nothing is hoped for by the
women from the democratic states
of North Carolina, South Carolina,
Florida, Louisiana and Tennessee in
1920. Florida and Tennessee are
precluded by their constitutions
from acting on the federal amend
ment until the new legislatures are
chosen. The other three are deemed
hopeless from a suffrage standpoint.
Texas and Arkansas ara the only
two states of the old solid south
that have ratified.
Want 81 States.
The suffragists really desire 81
ratifcations, to be on sure ground,
due to the Ohio situation, where
state law recently passed may re-
quire the action of the legislature
in ratifying to be submitted to popu-
lar vote in November. ..
The "antis" expect to make an is
sue of the Ohio matter. They have
several cards up their sleeves should
the SO states be obtained for ratifi-
cation, including a plan to invalidate
the presidential election if the suf-
frage amendment is declared in eff
feet. giving the women full partici-
patton next November.

Omahas Sidewalk Merchants Worry Not About H. c. L.;
Secret Lies in Altering Habits Crippled Men Declare
Public Generosity Is Less
Than During War
Time Enthusiasm.
By NED E. WILLIAMS.

Omaha's sidewalk merchants are
not worrying about the high cost OF
living. The blind or crippled ven
doris of pencils, shoe strings and
music all say that the secret lies in
altering ones habits and mode OF
like to conform with conditions.
"Its' kinda tough shedding, but the
big idea is not to worry and get
along with what you have" says
Carl Amundson,' State hotel, who
sells lead pencils in front of the Ne
braska Clothing store on Farnam
street, between Fourteenth and Fiji
teenth streets.
Carl is 48 years old and has lived
in Omaha for Is years. He lost his
right leg eight years ago, when it
was amputated on account of blood
poisoning.
As Generous as Ever.
Tom Haley, 80 years old and to-
tally blind, who plays an organ at
Fourteenth and Douglas streets,
says that the world is just as kind
and generous as it always was.
Paralysis of his optic nerves 2years
ago caused his blindness. He has
lived in Omaha for As years.
81 have never made more than a
bare living with my organ" says
Tom, but l am living just as COM
fortably now as / ever did"
Tom lives at 1917 Douglas street.
Misses War Enthusiasm.
"People are not as charitable and
generous now as they were during
the war" says James Clark, Doug
las hotel, who sits near the Rialto
theater on Douglas street, between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets.
Jimmy is AZ years old and has
lived in Omaha all his life. He
froze both of his legs while riding
a horse in storm in 1909 and it was
necessary to amputate them.
High prices have cut, down my
profits, but l manage to worry
along somehow" said Pete Kochem
cheerfully. Pete has sold shoe strings
for years at his alley stand between
Dodge and Douglas streets on
Sixteenth street. Neither cold, heat
nor storm keeps him from his bust
ness.
Women More Charitable.
Pete, who is 81 years old and has
been blind since 1880 on account of
gradual paralysis of the optic nerves,
explains that his shoe strings cost
him nearly twice as much as former
ly, but that he still sells them for S
cents a pair. He lives at I'LL Cass
street.
The street merchants must obtain
permits from the city before they
can sell articles or solicit charity on
the streets. They must also have
permission from the property own

In Terms of America.

Particularly interesting is the
viewpoint of Mrs. John Glover
South, the new chairman of the No
mems Division of the Republican
National committee. "The war has
made the southern women think in
terms of America and not the south,
and the interest id politics is in
creasing,' declared Mrs. South.

ship of Americans, for Americans,
by Americans, virile, unidentified
with the nation-sapping danger of
class injustice. Under the law we
must have equal rights for all men.
In the country today there is too
little respect for law and order.
Respect for the other fellow 5
rights is a golden rule that will
square with the ideal of an enlight-
ened world; it will make a people
against which no power of evil can
prevail. Americanism is the force
that, in its widespread acceptance,
will stand as a safeguard against
war in the future.
The feeling OF unrest is one of
natural effects of war. Unrest
brings problems that must be
worked to sane conclusions.
It was in the quiet of this village
(Laclede, MOI that I learned of

who led me early to follow my

Government should get rid of the
"red menace" by educating the
youth of the land to what their
country really stands for.
Public schools are inadequate to
weld ignorant foreigners into real
American citizens.
States are not taking sufficient
steps to educate their young. An
archistic seeds sprout quickly in ig-
norance.
Universal military training will
build up a physically healthy as well
as mentally healthy nation.
Americas wonderful future will be
imperilled if citizens do not under
stand and accept intellectually
the new Americanism.
The great need of America today
is readjustment and acceptance by
all our people of the new American
ism that comes from otr participa-
tipn in the worlds struggle. We
fought for liberty and the independ-
ence of all peoples, helping the OPP
pressed to their freedom, and for
no other gains.
The cause of humanity has been
immeasurably advanced and we of
America must set the example,
