James Cagneys familiar sock on

her usual display Of feminine pull

but both Of these sterling actors
scored distinct triumph in the very
unusual drama HE Was Her Man"
which opens tonight at the Capitol
theater.
Warner Bros. have given a most
unusual treatment to q thrilling
story. which while based on UNDER
world characters, is distinctly not q
gangster picture, but rather an ex-
ceedingly interesting lesson in the
value Of decency as a guide for living.
Cagney rises to really great heights
and shows himself worthy Of the
acclaim he has received-by his act
ing Of this role, which somehow he
manages to make sympathetic.
Miss Blondell continues to be the
same "wise-cracking" girl made IA

productions.
Others in the cast who do excep-
tional work include Frank Craven,
Harold Huber. Russell Hopton, John

The picture Is set in the colorful
background Of an ancient fishing

serious trouble that his usual defen-

unexpected climax that introduces
some excellent serious drama into the
picture. But We won't 60 into that
too deeply lest we detract from your
enjoyment Of delightful picture.
Baxter Is at his romantic best In
this, his first starring vehicle. Sur
rounding him more or less are three
lovely leading ladies: Rose N q ~

CHICK WEBB"

In every field of endeavor and If
every generation there are but few
names that gain national prominence
as the creators of vogues and trends
which dominates a country. In the
world of dance music Chick Webb is
acclaimed as one Of the outstanding
ultra-modern rhythm stylists. Origi-
nator of a definite brand of syncopa-
ton characterized by a swing rhy-
thin, his individualistic style is aped
and copied by other band leaders
throughout the country.
Although Chick has been PLAYING
dance music for more years than he
cares to remember, it is only recently
that he has entered the big money
class. Right now he is riding high
on the crest of a national popularity
wave. Directly responsible for his
fame is his almost daily broadcasts
on the National Broadcating Compa-
ny's c~oast-to-coast network, in addi-
ton to his nightly programs heard
on the new American B~readcasting
system chain.
Currently, Webb and his orchestra
is the attraction at the Savoy, New
York's famous show place. Past
seasons have found Chick ~purveying
his infectious rythms at the New
York Cotton Club, the recently closed
Comics Inn, or B~roadways newest
night-spot, Casino De Paree. He has
successful engagements chalked to
his credit at Roseland, New York. as
well as many other bathrooms thruout
America. In theatrical parlance.

greeted with wild acclaim. Only re-

When kidneys r clogged they be-

often passage is scanty and smarts and

right harmless and inexpensive way to
stop this trouble and restore healthy

RIGHT TO-VOTE-

la the 1925 Session Of the Nebraska State
Legislature, Dwight Griswold then, a Senator, and
now a Candidate for Governor, introduced in the
Senate Resolution No. 211. He proposed to amend
the State Constitution by adding a section as fol
lows:
mo person shall be qualified to vote unless
he can demonstrate ability to read, write, and
understand the English language
This most vicious measure aimed at minority
groups, which would have disqualified thousands Of
Negro voters as well as foreign borns, is an echo of
southern disfranchisement Of the Negro vote. 1t is
to be found IN every southern state wherein the
Negro is disfranchised. Can Nebraska afford TO

committee is submitted to the House
and the Senate, it cannot be amended
1t must be voted up or down as q
whole. Members must take what they
believe to be bad in order to secure
what they believe to be good. Legis.
iation by conference COMMITTEES is
secret, irresponsible Legislation by fivte
or six men appointed at the suggestion
of party leaders. "a one-house legisla.
ture viii end all Of this.
V. TIL tax burden of the state will
be reduced by the adoption of the one
house legislature proposal.
Appropriations for the 1888 session
of the Legislature totalled S2O1, 66S.l3.
OF this, S110,5O4.72 was expended for
salaries and mileage of 1873 members;
S37,275.25 for salaries of Is officers and
20 employees; $4,360.20 for postage;
, SS,4S6.27 for supplies and incidentals,
and S12, 403.54 for printing Of the House
and Senate Journals. Under the pro-
posed plan SIS, 100000 will be the maxi
mum amount that can be paid out in
salaries for members of the Legisla-
ture. Instead of 10 cents a mile, the
members viii receive actual travelling
expenses only. The amount necessary
to be spent for employees, postage,
more than cut in half.
VI. BY providing that the members
shall be nominated and elected on a
nonpartisan ballot, the one-hOuse legis-
lature will be divorced from partisan
politics.
Honest emn may disagree on the MIRA
tariff, and League of Nations, but the
Legislature of Nebraska has nothing to
do with those quesionst and its mem
bers should neither be elected nor de.
feated on those issues. The bst qualified
men and wmoen should be elected to
tn Legislature regardless of their views
on national issues.
The representation from the rura]
areas will be decreased by reason OF
the fewer members to the same extent
and in the same proportion as the re.
presentation from the cities will be de
creased. The relative strength of. the
farm territory and the cities in the
Legislature will of course remain ex
actly the same.
The claim that two houses insure
careful deliberation and prevent ill-con
sidered and carelessly drawn legisla
ton now pouring out of t~wo-chambel
legislative factories. With fewer mem
beTs to introduce bills and no last
hour conference committee reports t.
consider, the one-house Legislature
would be an unhurried deliberate body
In this name rash n hasty legis
lation can be prevented.
Under h ~one-house system thu
Governor will still have his right o
veto. The people will still possess tn,
power to suspend any bill under TIL,
Referendum and submit it to popula
vote. The Supreme Court will still
have authority to nullify any act il

VOTE "YES"
The present two-house Legis-
Iative system is an historical ac-
cident.
The structure of ii state legsi-
latures was carried over from the
makeup of the colonial legislative
bodies as they existed in 1776. The
colonial legislatures, naturally, were
patterned after the mother country
England, and England's Pertinent at
that met was a two house body, one
chamber representing the English mob
ility and aristocracy. the other the
common people.
No good reason now exists for con
tinuing this slavish imitation Of an
ancient English legislative system now
in effect discarded even by England
itself. Nebraska does not give special
representation to specially privileged
classes.
Adoption Of the ~one-house Legisla-
ture proposal will result in the follow
ing advantages:
1.-The %jeasousy, friction, and rival
ry between the two houses, which Of
ten results in deadlocks and the de-
feat of constructive legislation, will
be eliminated by a ~one-hOuse legisla-
ture.

end and the two pulling in opposite dir
ections. The cities of America long ago

III. A one-house legislature will make
possible the definite fixing of respOn-
sibility for action taken on all bills IN
trOduced; where two bodies of persons
are involved it is hard to fix blame
1t will not be possible as now to shift
blame from one house to another. Pub
he attention will be focused upon a
single body, permitting close scrutiny
Of all legislative proceedings while laws
are in the process of enactment. each
member of a one-house legislature will
be more important and therefore more
conspicuous. The public win be enabled

III. A one-house legislature will de
crease greatly the opportunity for cor.
ruptiOn; special interests desiring to
kill proposed legislation find their way
twice as easy when it is necessary to
control or corrupt only one of two
houses.
