FEM|N|STS ASK
P ENS|0NS And
AL|MONY FOR men
Women of Washington Franz
ing Protective Legislation
for Members of the
Opposite Sex.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Alimony
for men and pensions for fathers is
the new war cry of feminists in
Washington.
They are organizing a movement
for protective legislation for men, de-
claring it inconsistent for women to
clamor for equality while receiving
special benefits by law. Not that they
feel gentle toward males. Take it
from Mrs. Lillian H. Kerr, vice
chairman of the Colorado state
branch of the national woman's
party and wife of Judge Robert Kerr
|of Colorado Springs, they decidedly
Go no feel gentle toward males.
A sex war is coming, they darkly
predict, hut until it comes they will
be consistent.
Helpless As Children"
Good heavens~ exclaimed Mrs.
Kerr, exasperated that any one
should think there was anything
strange about wanting to protect
men, IF they don't need protection,
who does7 They are more helpless
than children. 1t is necessary for the
salvation of the world that women
protect them" Continuing she said:
"The world wouldn't be i'll the dis
order it is now if the men hadn't
muddled affairs-Let them turn the
government over to the women and
stay at home. Well support them.
Heaven knows they have done
enough talking about protecting
and sheltering It's! Well, WE'LL pro-
tect and shelter them and not talk
about it.
"Some men, l suppose, have a
hard time in life. There are some
lizard working fathers. There are
fathers left either by death or di-
yorce with children on their hands.
They should be pensioned by the
state. States which have mothers
pensions certainly should have
fathers pensions also.
Alimony. Mans Right.
'If it is right for women to have
alimony it is right for men to have
it. In cases where there, are no
children and the woman has sthe
bigger income, she should be the
alimony paying one.
II don't see how any self-respect-
ing woman or man able to earn a
living could take alimony, but both
sexes should be treated alike by the
law.
There should be paternity as
we'll as maternity laws. Some day
the women are going to run this
government. Before they run II
they should show the men woman's
idea of justice. The laws that are
passed to protect men we womer
are going to get for them. I ar
willing they should have exactly
the same rights as women. That il
not to say they are the equals O.

viewer delicately.

READY TO QUIT

BILLS PASSED
Constitutional Delegates Al.
ready Talking Of Adjourn
ment-Session to Last
Past March.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 25.-(Special.)
Only two proposals have been
definitely acted upon by the state
constitutions! convention, during the
Is days or the charter assembly's
session, and the delegates already
arc beginning to speculate about a
date of adjournment.
President A. J. Weaver is hopeful
of getting through by about March
l, while most Of the members think
the session will last we'll into the
month of March. 3.
The Juror Bill.
The two measures settled by the
constitution trainers are of state
wide Importance. Provision has been
made for the legislature to author
ize verdicts in civil sxits by five
sixths of the jurors. It has also been
decided that a majority voting on the
question of township organization
shall be sufficient to carry it.
Although the constitutional con-
vention began its career in Deem

taking long recess during the holi-
days. If the session should run for
only 90 days it still will extend Be,
yond March |, even though the as.
'sembly works six days every week.
Against Many Changes.
Sentiment among the majority Of
the convention is to make as few
changes in the organic law as posi-.
Bile, while making due provision for
the future development and needs Of
Nebraska. The old constitution is
given credit for having proven gen.
orally satisfactory to the people.
Present indications are that sala.
ries of most state officers, if not al
of them, will be left for the legisla'

Power OF CITY

Omaha Said to Have Been

Utilities.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 2S-(Special.)
Municipalities would be either d.
rectly or indirectly stripped of their
power to control public utilities, city
or privately-owned, if three different
proposals now pending before the
state constitutional convention are
adopted by that body and ratified by
the people of the state.
Omaha Is Silent.
No opposition from Omaha or
Lincoln has been heard so far on the
proposed measures, and apparently
the bills have escaped general public
notice. The Nebraska League of
municipalities, which is supposed to
be on the lookout for matters of in
terest to its members, also has ap-
parently overlooked them.
Delegate Lysle Abbott Of Omaha
is not asleep on the job, however.
and he has some definite ideas on
the subject which he will give to the
executive department committee this
week. He will ask it to incorporate
ii its part of the constitution a sec

Referred to Abbott.
Mr.. Abbott is chairman of the
committee on public. service corpora
tons, to which three of the pro-
posals have been referred. These
are No. 800, drafted by Vic Wilson,
former railway commissioner, and
No. 308, which is Chairman Tom

planatory clauses saying that they

State Confronted
By Danger Of Loss
Through Soft Corn

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 25.-(Special.)
Nebraska is confronted with another
soft corn crisis similar to the one
which caused losses to farmers and
grain handlers several years ago, ac-
cording to information gathered by
the State Railway commission. The
board has been advised that large
amount of corn now on hand await
ing shipment contains 10 to p per
cent of moisture, and unless it can
be shipped within the next co. days
it will deteriorate with the advent OF
mild spring weather, so as to bring
20 cents to 81 per bushell less than
it is now worth.
The fact that railroads in Ne
braska are not supplying more than
a fraction OF the cars needed to ship
corn aggravates the situation.

Wish OF >DY|NC
SON SENDS AGED
WOMAN TO ALTAR
California Mother, 81 Years
Old, MarrieS After Court
ship of Four
Years.

Los Angeles, Jan. 25.-Expressing
a quaint philosophy regarding mar
riage, Mrs. Celia Bessant Snudden,-
81 years old, mother of II children
and survivor of six of her offsprings,
became the bride of James Allison,
81 years old, of Pasadena. The cere-
mony was performed at the court
house by Justice Palmer, after the
bride had acceded to the pleas of her
sutton and the dying wishes of son
who recently passed away in Pasa-
dena. The marriage came after a
iouryear engagement.
Mrs. Allison was first married in
1860 at Portsmouth, England, to
James U. Srudden, with whom she
lived happily for 4S years. Her first
husband died II years ago.
When Justice Palmer was about
to perform the ceremony the 81
year-old bride insisted upon stand
ing up and upon the ring ceremony.
Not Wall Flower.
II want to stand and I want the
ring" she insisted, showing the gold
band that had been placed on her
finger by her first husband 81 years
ago. "You see, I'm a little old
fashioned"
Mrs. Allison's theories as to mar
ried life are of the old school, she
says.
First, she believes there should be
mutual confidence between husband
and wife. Without it, she said,
there can be no real happy marriage.
Above all else, there should be
no race suicide.
IT believe in having children" she
said. "See me, how my children
cared for me, and now l am going
from them to loving and faithful
husband"
One of her precepts is that the
wife is not to be wall flower in he,
own home, nor is she to take back
seat" for her husband.
"There should be no arguments in
a happy home. There were few ii
ours, and when there we're | settled
them, said Mrs. Allison. "That was
the case with my first husband, ant
l suppose it will be with Mr.. Ali
son, who is a good, kind man..
Another theory of Mrs. Alison
is that neither a wife nor HUSBAND
should interfere with the other
there should be confidence, but ont
should not hamper the other, no
keep the cash box away from him O.
her.
Both Mr.. Allison and his brid'
have lived in Pasadena for 50 years
