Filled With Hatred. Says.
This attorney. named Edgerton. is
man filled with hatred against the
university and its medical school at
Omaha. For two sessions he was up
here a hired lobbyist for the homeo-
pathic association attempting to put
chair of homeopathy in the univer-
sity medical school This plan was
fought by Dean Cutter of Omaha.
Defeated in this attempt. he ran
for university regent at the last cleo
tion and WAS defeated by an over
whclming majority. His campaign
Was one of hatred and yituperation
against our greatest educational insti-
tuition.
Unsuccessful again, he has wormed
himself into job as attorney repre-
senting the committee His efforts to
date show he is endeavoring TO make
it committee of persecution and

biased inquiry, such as the house

Gallagher of ONeill resented

deavoring to persecute the university.
There are three members who are
university graduates and what we are
endeavoring to do is to get all the
facts before u.s." Gallagher said I'VE

There is no doubt but that the
university Is under a cloud in the
state and there is much charge OF
graft against it Book of Butler said.

"In the iess than seventy years
that the Negroes In America have
been In the enjoyment OF freedom
they have made marvellous progress"
said the Vice President. when the
call came in time Of war they were

Nearly four hundred thousand Of
them went into military service"

he said, was approximately 103 Of
ficers and 1,543 enlisted men. Of
whom six officers and 203 enlisted

tory day" has been their greatest
IilVVer day." In spite Of the wild
est nationwide agitations and in
spite of the farspread need and
misery of the German masses. the
German workers refused to follow
the communist desperadoes.
Thls is not only proof of the
Ilrm consolidation Of the republic
out also of the conservative mod
Grafton of German labor.
The fact that no Government
ever had as strong opposition from
all parties as the present govern
ment proves that it was not the
Governments internal policy that
prevented an upheaval but solely
opposition from an overwhelming
mass OF German workers who re-
fused to enter fratricidal bloodshed.
But we must not DECEIVE ourselves
that the danger is over. On the
contrary it is just commencing.
The menace of civil war is with us
every minute. Revolutionists and
civil war are not made upon on a
appointed day and hour. but come
spontaneously, usually at a moment
when least suspected. Our supreme
crisis in Germany is still to come.

fact has never been proved, and
Stallone refuses to talk about it
with the detectives who brought
