FRAME UP WITNESS
STRONG SUPPORT

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 29.-
Attorney General Sargent refused to
tell q senate committee whether the
department Of justice viii prosecute
George B. Hayes, New York lawyer,
for perjury in the governments at
tempt 70 convict Senator Wheeler
last year.
Hayes swore he never saw Wheeler
until the Montana senator offered, in
a New York hotel, to divide fees with
him for praeticing before the depart
.ment of the interior. Wheeler claimed,
according to Hayes, that he could not
be openly connected with the cases be-
cause he is senator.
The Montana jury acquitted Wheel.
er on the first ballot, and now the
senate wants to know if the depart.
ment Of justice intends to prosecute
Hayes. Sargent gave thu COMMITTEES
40 satisfaction. He said he has dats
from two other sources sustaining
Hayes testimony. The names of these
persons were refused the committee.
The attorney general was careful
to let it be known that his information
was in the form Of data" and was
not sworn to.
Treasury officials told the commit.
tee that Hayes has paid no income tas
for four years, and that he owes the
government $292, ,191. .33.
While the senate committee was lis.
tening to these statements by govern.
ment officials several hundred citizens
gave a dinner in this city to Senator
Wheeler and to his two attorneys
Senator Walsh and Hon. Charles A
Douglas. The dinner was under the
auspices Of the Wheeler Defense com
mittee. Men and women from ali
walks Of life were present, and scores
Of messages were read.
Speakers denounced the Wheeler
frame-up and congratulated the de.
Tense 'afor its triumph for iustics
over the department Of justice"

ington State Federation Of Labor, in
an. address before the Central Labor
Council Friday night, urged organized
labor to carefully consider candidates

HIGHER EDUCATION
IN UNITED STATES
b KATE RICHARDS O'HARE
Field Secretary. Commonwealth Col
lege, Mena, Arkansas.

Walter Thomas Mills in his "Strug-
gle Tor Existence" says; "Under the
older order of things the education OF
man was primarily a priestly func-
ton. The priesthood taught the slave
subjection, taught the soldier obedi-
ence, and explained their relations, de-
pendence and all misery as the Divine
order of things, bitter to endure but
necessary to escape greater woes in
this life, and as mans probation and
training for the world to come"
The New England colonies were set
tied, for the most part, by dissenters
from the established religions of the
mother countries, but they held firm
~ to the idea that education was the
prorogative of the clergy. They sim
ply wanted it to be their clergy who
did the educating, and who would
teach their creed. Harvard, Yale, Co
lanbia, Brown, Dartmouth, Princeton,
and William and Mary were all estab-
lished, controlled and utilized by the
churches for the training Of men for
the ministry. The founders of these
early institutions Of higher learning
had little, if any, idea Of bringing cul-
ture to the masses that they might
live more richly and happily on this
earth. Their sole idea was to train
the clergy to dominate the minds Of
the people, and to teach them to en-
dure the miseries Of this life in such
a way as to escape hell-fire in the fu-
ture.

.LAUDS HARBOR LABOR

In an address before the Central
Labor council Friday evening, c.. o.
dad Young. general organizer for
the Americas Federation of Labor said
that Hoquiam and Aberdeen are ne
best organized towns in America.
aHy first work as an organizer OF
the American Federation of Labor was
here on the Eiarbor over twenty-five
years ago. / organized nine locals
here in eighteen days and then went to
Spokane where it took me five months
to organize one local" said Mr.. Young.
He told Of the difficulties which he
encountered in that city as a result
Of dual organisation which no longer
exists.
dad" organized most Of the locals
on the Harbor and told of some very
interesting experiences in pioneering
the labor movement Of Grays Harbor.
He said that the very satisfactory con-
dition Of the local labor movement
was entirely due to the fact that It
had always been under safe and sane
leadership. He was pleasingly sur
pzdsed when Harry Gibson, business
agent Tor the Building Trades, told
him that every carpenter on she Har-
bors Of any consequences, was a mem

| the local society and uphold all its
| interests most sympathetically
The Nebraskans have already held
| two of their usual meetings and at
| the next they propose to honor the
Vice President and Mrs. Dawes with
| the most signal honor, but the date
! for this celebration is yet to be
settled. Gen. Pershing was the guest
of the Nebraskans the first Winter
after his return from his memorable
mission to France and their invita-
tons was the first he accepted after
he filled all obligations toward official
Washington. A brilliant reception
was given in Hotel Washington and
! all the mighty and distinguished at
| the Capital attended that levee. Ne
braSka men who had been in the
war were present in large numbers
and many prominent members of the
American Legion were also invited.
Vice President Dawes and Gen.
! PerShing spent in Lincoln, Nebr, the
years which both regard as the
formative ones of their career. Both
had yet to carve their fortunes and
they sat together on a stool at dairy
lunch counters and shared each 9TH
er's simple joys and triumphs, as we'll
as the privations which come when
cial resources are climbing up the
ladder. Pershing was just out of
West Point and had been appointed
as military instructor at the State
University, because, having an agri-
cultural college, this seat of learning
at Lincoln was eligible to receive Ma
tional Government funds and to have
an Army officer appointed to train It's
cadets. The gallant chief Of the
A. f.. +. was then second lieutenant
and, having much time on his hands
after he had drilled the boys, he took
up the study of law in the Lincoln
college. Young Dawes had just taken
his degree in the Cincinnati Law
School and he selected Lincoln as the
place to try his fortune. He had
never met Gen. Pershing until the
Autumn of 1886. but the two have
been firm friends and boon com
panions ever since.
Bryan Staunch Friend of State.
William Jennings Bryan was
staunch friend of the Nebrask State
Society, and when the project to
erect monument to his memory in
the Capital of the Nation comes before
that body for support it will no
doubt receive it most unStintingly.
When the great Commoner was in
Congress he represented the first dis
trict and that contains both Ne
braska's most flourishing cities,
Omaha and Lincoln. and he took a
kindly interest in all that related to
the State, even in the Republican
club. When Mr.. Snyder reorganized
Mr.. Bryan joined, though he was not
then a resident of Washington. He
renewed his allegiance when he came
to Washington in 1913 as Secretary
of State in the first Wilson admins
tration and he and Mrs. Bryan attend
ed many Of the meetings.
One of the most brilliant events in
the history of the society occurred
when a banquet was given at the EIb-
hitt House to celebrate the sixtieth an
niversary of the admission of the
State into the Union, and over which
Mr.. Bryan, as Secretary of State, pre-
sided. The Nebraska Society is purely
social, but it has also a vigilant eye

Some Absentee Voters.

The officers have done good service
for the absentee voters and they are
keenly interested in the visitors from
the State, and whenever possible they
entertain them and introduce them to
the best that Washington can offer.
Their first meetings. held in the old
Odd Fellows Hall and then in Metze-
rott's, now Columbia Theater, have
expanded into renting large apart
ments In hotels or in clubs. Sew
eral meetings have recently been held
in the salon of the University WON
ems Club. The Nebraskans plan when
they have given their grand levee for
the Vice President and Mrs. Dawes to
follow the example of Missouri, which
recently gave a brilliant and most in
teresting reception for the officers of
the border States. Nebraska thus will
have the opportunity of entertaining
the State Society of the Dakotas,
North and South, having at present a
joint association. and of presenting
this body-one of the latest to organ
ize-to their older and more compact
associates.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Returning from Shenandoah juno
ton last Monday morning. Mr.. John
E. Brady, of Brunswick, Nd. and
Lee Bushong, of this place, narrowly
escaped collision with north-bound
N. & w. freight train on the cross
ing, Just beyond Ransom. The Buick
Sedan, which Mr.. Brady was driv-
ing. skidded to within five feet of
the passing train, and 1t was only by
great presence Of mind that the col
lision was avoided altogether. Owing
to an apple orchard on the right, the
occupants of the car neither saw nor
heard the train until they were
about fifteen feet from the track.
Mr.. Brady Immediately applied the
emergency brakes, but the heavy
car continued to skid forward, until
finding that it was likely to be car
ried into the train, Mr.. Brady jerked
the wheels to the right and headed
for a telegraph pole. The ear lurch-
ed against the pole, tearing off the
handles of both doors and smashing
the tenders on that side, but finally
coming to stop within a few feet Of
the rails. Both occupants of the
car heard no whistle and are conf
dent none was blown.

Swartz bequeathed all of his personal
property to his son, Carl David
Swartz. and directed that the re-
mainder of his estate should be
