Fremont, Neb.. April 12.-The spirit
of Easter. love and faith i'm mankind
permeated the First Congregational
church Sunday morning with Rev. IL.
II. Koontz conducting the Easter
services and nearly every pew in the
spacious church occupied.
Rev. Mr.. Koontz returned to his
pulpit after an absence Of nearly n
month, when friction with the board

pastor when the board refused to
make public the motive for requesting
his resignation, prevailed upon koontz
to return to Fremont. Wednesday
evening at a meeting of the congre-
cation Rev. Mr.. koontz was given a
rousing reception and vote of conf
dence. His welcome on the part of
his many friends resulted in his de

Threats OF designations were made on
the part of some. As yet no formal
designations have been filed. II is the
general impression now that the en-
tire matter would be dropped and for
gotten.
Easter Sunday brought out one of
the largest crowds of the year. Some
of the board members and their sup
porters, however, were conspicuous by
their absence.
No direct reference TO the recent
dispute within the church was made
during the Easter service. Rev. Mr..
koontz in his prayer pleaded for the
spirit of Jesus Christ among men,
stressing the fact that petty squab-
bles and personalities should be for
gotten to make room for the greater
lessons and teachings of the Savior.

FACTS GUST FISTS
IN LABOR COUNCIL
Intelligence Drive in A. F. L.
Declared to Have Doomed
Rule of Force.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 14.-When the
fourth annual convention of the
Workers Education Bureau of Amer
lea, official department of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, opens at
Philadelphia next Friday it will mark
a historic crossroads in labor his
tory, Spencer Miller, jr., secretary,
said yesterday.
The meeting, Mr.. Miller said, will
draw $50, 900, 600 members of 40 Ameri-
can Federation of Labor unions, who
already have subscribed to the per
capita tax for support of the bureau
under the resolution adopted at the
FL Paso convention last Fall. The
gathering will, accordingly, gauge and
voice for the first time on a repre-
sentative national scale the new in
telligence drive" that is sweeping
country to the other.
DOoms Rule of Force.
THE convention" Mr.. Miller said,
will epitomize a revolutionary change
in the tactics of labor over 20 TO 80
years ago.
1T will denote the determination of
the American workingman that the
conference table offers more than the
picket lines-facts more than fists.
1T will reflect his first definite com
initial to belief that his future in
public relations will be best served by
education rather than force, and that
a new order has arrived for which he
must competently prepare.
1T will show that he himself real
ICES his leaders can 'orate' to a crowd
of 1000, but not to two or three well
posted men around a table very well.
The American workingman now is
most interested in training his intel
ligence. He wants to know"
To Discuss Superpower.
Well up in the program of the
Philadelphia convention, Mr.. Miller
said, will be discussion of what
giant power" is to mean to working
people. The invention of steam
resulted in Capitalization" he said.
Giant power, by which is meant
the new possibilities of superpower
electrical development, is expected to
decentralize our civilization by cheap
ening power over long distances, so
factories can be moved away from
the present crowded centers. Labor
wishes to prepare for this power rev
olution of the twentieth century, in
stead of becoming the victim of power
as at the opening of the nineteenth
century with the coming of steam"
Other important items to be threshed
out, he continued, would be the value
of moving pictures to educate work
ers who read and retain less from text
books; the use of drama to give work
ers self-eXpression; appointment of la
Dor education directors in the as
States; research to supplement the
pamphleteering campaign the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor is shortly to
launch on all current problems. and
revival of the fight for the child labor
amendment
Able Men to Speak
Speakers will include Prof. James
T. Shotwell of Columbia University,
author Of the Geneva protocol; Alfred
MacGowan of the printing trades of
Toronto; Canute Vargas, the first la
bor attache assigned to the Mexica.l
embassy at Washington and the first

pers' fellowship for exchange of labor

LONDON, April 1.-two of Lon
dons famous old houses-Nos. 10 and
II Downing street, respectively the
official homes of the prime minister
and chancellor of the eXchequer-now
are in such a state of decay that the
government is considering whether it
is desirable to pull them down and re-
build instead of making further re-
pairs.
The Daily Express says that much
money has been spent from time to
time renoVating the inside and out
side of the houses, but that each in
SpeCtion reveals that something fur
ther must be done. Some of the walls
the paper adds, seem to rest on crum-
bling foundations, although the build
ings are not very old as houses 60
having been built about 200 years ago
Although the internal inconven-
fence of the houses is as notorious as
their external ugliDess, there are
some who believe that reasons of SEN
tlment may prove stronger than the
demands of modern accommodation,
and that further repairs will be de-
cided on.

More Care Urged of Autoists
/. As accident Toll Decreases
A. A. A. Deplores Present Tendency to
Lo.ity When Strict Watch Brings Re-
i port of Fe,Oer Traffic Mishaps.

Despite the fact that there has beer
a marked reduction in the number OF
traffic fatalities and accidents in the
last few months, Thomas P. Henry
president of the American Automo
bile Association, is urging all motor
lists to continue their unabated efforts
TO make 1925 banner traffic year. He
deplores the attitude of the car own
er who feels that he can let down on
precaution because conditions are
showing some improvement.
Mr.. Henry's appeal is based on the
discovery that directly after showing
a clean slate for a month or SO many
cities Immediately fall back into a run
of accidents and traffic deaths.
This condition is the result of a
let-down in individual vigilance Mr..
Henry explains. THE only remedy Is
to forget that there has been any ma
terial Improvement and to proceed
just as though matters were growing
worse. We can have no permanent
Improvement until we cease regarding
temporary improvements as final.
DepIores Any Let-Down.
Following this statement from the
A. A. A. president, 689 secretaries,
filiated with the national organiZa-
ton, will urge upon members as well
as upon local motorists the necessity
of making a thorough job of reduc-
ing the 1925 automobile and trafflc
mortality record to the lowest possl-
bic figure.
Officials of the national association
have followed the progress in trafhc
safety with a view to discovering the
&c, q iaf
in results from month TO month. The
trouble has been found to be the et-
feet - progress upon the average
driver AZ -. Henry points out, the
psychology of success is often factor
in failure Commenting on this phase
of the problem, the A. A. \. president
said
THE attitude of the m ,torist who
let's down on precaution jt'st because
conditions are improving is deplor
able Only eternal vigilance makes
safety progress possible, and when
the motorist takes it for granted that
safety is assured the Nation imme-
diately falls back into the old rut
Have Clean Slate.
According to a report sy the Ma
tional Automobile Chamb@c of Com
merce. ~ cities that are cooperating
in a check of safety development came
through the month of December with
clean slate. This is one of the most
significant instances of progress lat
has been brought TO the attention of
the public in many months, but the
public must respond to it as though
these same 81 cities had shown their
worst record.
THE moment a city or a community
succeeds in cutting down it's human
loss, there is noticeable easing up of
vigilance on the part of drivers and
pedestrians, with the inevitable result
that success leads to subsequent fail
ure. The psychology of it is as simple
as it is dangerous.
'"The A. A. A. takes the position that
safety can be maintained only by con-
stant dissatisfaction with present cor
ditions, and that the goal must be to
keep everlastingly at it.

we drive six miles to Fairfax and
thence to Washington, a trip of ap-
proximately 325 miles.
AS already indicated, the trip to
Winchester also may be made by way
of Leesburg, Bluemont and Berryville.
The roads have been greatly improved
and Three AS thoroughly recommends
this route for an enjoyable trip through
appealing country.
Turning to the north, shortly before
Aldie, the road is said to be in good
condition to Leesburg. From Leesburg
the road passes through Clarkes Gap,
Purcellville. crossing the Blue Ridge
again at Bluemont and Smokers Gap
to Castlemans Ferry at the Shenan-
doah River. No ferry operates at this
point on the river, although 1t still
retains the name. The river, however,
is spanned by toll bridge.
Between Castlemans Ferry and Win
chester, a distance of about Is miles,
there are several toll gates: two near
Berryville and one near Winchester.
For motorists who care to make a
more extensive weekend tour into
the Shenandoah Valley, the long route
by way of Hagerstown is perhaps the
most enjoyable and one over which
the roads are improved throughout.
The distance from Washington to
Staunton by that route is approx
imately 215 miles; by way of Harpers
Ferry, as indicated on the map, 1t is
1877 miles. The shorter routes are

gradual improvement of these roads,
it is anticipated the shorter routes will

FINDS FEW MEN FIT
|. FOR PUBLIC OFFICE
Lord Esher's Theory Would
"Scrap" British Ministry,
With Single Exception.
Correspondence Of the Associated Press.

correspondence OF the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 24.-Recent asser-
ton of Lord Esher that but few men
are fit for politics after reaching 40
years of age has caused much specu-
lation In British parliamentary cir
cles and has resulted in the ages of
all the English cabinet members be-
ing discussed in numerous publica-
tions. If Lord Esher's theory were
brought into practice, 1t was revealed
that the present cabinet would be re-
duced to one member, this being
Lord Eustace Perry, minister of edu
cation, who is 38 years old.
Lord Esher, deputy governor of
Windsor Castle, and author of sew
eral books dealing with the lives of
King Edward and Queen Victoria,
who himself is in his seventy-third
year, on the question of ages, said:
ITO very few, and possibly only to
reflective minds, like Sophocles and
Leonardo, is the privilege granted of
sustained vigor after the age of 40"
He cited Napoleon, who was 40 when
at Schonbrunn in 1909, the zenith of
his career. In Chatham and his son
as well, he contends, the vital spark
paled early.
Further Lord Esher asserted: mo
man, and very few women, retain
physical charm and generous in
stincts after 40 years of age. All
men and women should be aware of
the 30's. In our time there are
manifold examples of the failure to
maintain, after the age of 49, a
pertinent grasp over public affairs
and the faculty Of wise decision"
But is there, in fact any true
comparison between the men of today
and the men even of the Napoleonic
times?' asks the Evening Standard
in an editorial in which Lord Esher's
contentious are disputed.
The most ordinary observation of
society as 1t exists at the present
time would appear sufficient to mega
tive the theory that few women re-
tain physical charm at 40, says the
Standard, which goes on to aver
that evidently the dramatists of to-
day do not think so. or they would
not be so fond of introducing mature
heroines.
After pointing out historically and
otherwise where Lord Esher is alto
gether wrong in his observations
concerning politicians, the Standard
continues: "As for the statement
that no man retains generous in
stincts after 40 surely the converse
is nearer the truth. Women are here
the best judges, and it is very
common experience to find young
women turning from men of their
own age to men who are considera-
bly, their seniors merely because they
find not only more entertainment, but
more sympathy and understanding 2.
Lord Esher's most recent work was
THE Tragedy of Lord Kitchener" a
book completed when he was II years
of age.

Smith knew that the battery really

If there had been no response at all
when he pressed the starter button
there would have been reason to sus-
pect broken contact somewhere in
the starter battery circuit, or in the

er honor. however, lies in the com
munitys evidence of dissatisfaction
The greater the dissatisfaction the
greater the honor. And If, in addition
to its dissatisfaction, a community is
making headway. the greater will be
the results.
This applies to the Nation in gen
eral as well as to individual cities an6
towns. improvements are becoming
rather general, according to the fig
ures now available, but that is not
saying that they are necessarily be
coming permanent.
A permanent Improvement in the
form OF 10 per cent reduction in
automobile and traffic fatalities for
1925 is to be preferred to 25 per cent
reduction which may be offset by an
increase in the number of fatalities
the year following.
Traffic safety is too big problem
to be solved in any one month. or in
any one year. 1t is a longtime propo.
sition, and every one must work for
results on that basis. No city can af
tord to assume that it has even par

reduced the number of fatalities over
a given period, for If it's work is as.
sumed to be partly finished there will
pc slump IN precaution and vigilance
Inc progress 1t makes may be more
than offset by subsequent losses.
III will require long time to put
safety on permanent basis. In the
meantime any progress should be re-
sarded merely as preliminary steps to
the real fight which is to come when
the safety forces are properly and per.
manently mobilized.
We are only just getting acquaint.
ed with the methods of achieving
safety, but let US not overlook the fact
that they are but a means to an end. 9"
