CIGARET BILL A LAW
Senator Mantz Supports Measure In
Vote Taken ON the Bill in
Senate Yesterday. =

''If 1t wasn't immoral for the
Iowa boys who were fighting in
France, to smoke cigarets, then it
isn't immoral now,7 as Senator
Pitt put it, was the keynote in the
senate's action yesterday when 1t
reconsidered the Dodd cigaret bill
and passed 1t to the tune Of 81
to % vote.
Minor amendments. which the
senate had adopted before the bill
was temporarily beaten on Monday
necessitated sending the measure
back to the house, but that body
speedily concurred in the changes
and the bill was sent down to Cor
ernor Kendall for his signature.
Lucy CASTOR Page, president of
the National Anti-Cigaret league;
Mrs. Ida B. Wise Smith, state head
OF the w. G. T. u, and representa-
tives of other organizations that
have been fighting the Dodd bill
sat silently by yesterday while the
senate reconsidered its previous
vote and put its official o. X. on
the sale of cigarets.
Senators Parker, Price, Horchem
and Pitt made the chief speeches
in favor of the bill, while Puser
opposed 1t.
Under its terms cigarets can be
sold to persons 81 years of age. or
older. Dealers must get permits,
which cost from $50 to 500 q
year, depending upon the popula-
ton of the city or town.
All cigarets sold must bear a
state revenue stamp, and 1t is esti-
mated that more than $1,000,000
a year will be added to the states
income from this source.

FOR SEPARATE PEACE PACT
President Harding Fav0rs Knox Res
Olution for Re-intrOductiOn at
fa9 The Next Congress.

President Harding rs understood
to have approved immediate REIN
PRODUCTION Of the Knox peace resolu-
ton when congress convenes. next
week. Final decision has not been
reached however, 1t was indicated
BY republican leaders. as to when 1t
would be pressed for adoption.
Hopes are said to be entertained
in administration circles that defi-
mite progress toward concord OF
nations on ew world peace pro-
gram might be possible within q
short time. For that reason 1t was
intfmated, o period Of three months
or 90 might be allowed to elapse be-
fore action on the resolution was
taken by congress.
Republican senators were said to
be generally in accord with respect
20 the Knox resolution. Several
Of these senators held an informal
conference Monday night.
It was said that the only import
ant question now open with refer
ence to the Knox resolution was the
time for its adoption and the possi-
bili<y of an addition to declare the
attitude Of the United States should
world peace again be threatened by
Germany.
The president is understood to
have been urged by some advices TO
make an emphatic declaration in his
forthcoming message to congress,
announcing unequivocally that under
NO circumstances will the United
States at any time join the present
league of nations.

BROTHER DIED SUDDENLY
Remains Shipped to Audubon Tues
day and Interment Made Here
BY Relatives.

The remains of John A. Dickey,
who died at hospital in Omaha ON
last Thursday, were shipped to Au-
dubon Tuesday and interment made
here. The deceased was about 50
years Of age but was never married.
He was a brother OF Mrs. Harvey
Hight, Of this city, and also broth
er Of Reese Dickey, deceased, who
for many years was a prominent
farmer of this county.
Mr.. Dickey was born in Livings-
ton county, Ill.. Feb. 10, 1852. He
owned considerable land near
Chambers, Nebr., where he farmed.
For several years he was afflicted
with asthma and ten days ago was
taken much worse. Fop years he
was a neighbor of Chas. Cheyne,
who year ago moved to the town
of Ericsson, Nebr. When Mr.. Dickey
was i'll he expressed a desire to be
taken to the home of his friend,
which was done. He was under the
care of physician there but he did
not seem to improve so it was
thought best to take him TO st.
GATHERINGS hospital in Omaha for
treatment. He arrived at the hos
pital about eight o'clock Wednesday
evening but died early the following
morning.
Very little was known of his rel
atives at the time Of his death, but
on searching papers and letters in
his home a letter was found from
his sister, Mrs. Harvey Hight, of
this city. She was communicated
with and it was learned that she was
his sister. The remains were then
shipped here and taken to the home
of Mrs. Hight ON Tuesday morning
where at ten o'clock short services
were held in charge OF Rev. D. ].
Shenton, pastor of the Methodist
church.
The deceased was a bachelor but
leaves two sisters, Mrs. Rachel Pope
of Evansville, ILL.,, and Mrs: Harvey
Hight, of this city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Cheyne, of
Ericsson, Nebr., were with him dur
ing his entire illness and even &C
companied him when he was taken
to the hospital. They came TO Au-
dubon with the remains and re-
manned until yesterday, when they
returned to their home. They speak
very highly of him as a man and a
neighbor, for he has been as close to
them as q member Of their own
family.

gram was an inspiration to all mus
followers and It IL hoped that many
more Spch treats are in store during
the club year.
