Refreshments Served DOUGLAS DEBATING SOCIETY. The D. D. S. met last Saturday night with Worthington Williams at St. Philip’s rectory. All bu'on“s; was put over until next week and the evening turned into a social hour or two. The “li’l ol’ phoneygraph” ground out the latest jazz hits and th? boys passed the evening in the hilari ous, care-free happy manner in which only a bunch of boys can. Forgetting completely the dignity that is -upner eil to comport with members of a de bating society the boys' “good tin'*;" sense came to the top. Parlimentary law, the dignity of the officers all were forgotten as Mamie Smith sang and Ted Lewis played for them. Re freshments were served by the host’s mother. As the boys(left they ex pressed the wish that all meetings might lie social meetings instead of once a month. The next meeting will be a business meeting and all membeiB are urged to lie present. (Political Advertisement.) REPLY OF ABRAHAM L. SUTTON TO THE YELLOW CARD To the Colored Voters of Omaha: My political enemies are circulating a yellow card among the colored people Containing campaign lies intended to prejudice the colored voters of Oma ha. I wish to deny the statements con tained on said card as being absolute ly false and untrue and circulated for the sole purpose of trying to prejudice the coloied voters against me. The same persons who brought about the race riot in Omaha by telling lies about a poor colored man in jail are now engaged in trying to stir up race prejudice in this campaign by cir culating this yellow card. I have no prejudice against the col ored people of Omaha and have always been of the opinion the poor unfortun ate colored man hanged by the mob in Omaha was an innocent man, and have always had an abiding conviction the race riot in Omaha was a studied effort on the part of the lawless ele ment in Omaha to discredit the present administration and bring- about a re call of several of the city commission ers. ABRAHAM L. SUTTON.

The tenseness of 1 those moments is indescribable. It would have been an ideal moment for the photographers to have made pic jtures, for there was hardly a muscle that moved in the entire assemblage. Some few Democrats looked red in the face, while some few Republicans turned pale. I seemed to think 1 could hear the thud-thud beating of '*♦ »J« ««♦ *** *1* *** **• « agcous man, President of all the peo ple, made the Race Problem an issue that must be solved in a practical way. This portion of the President's ad dress was received with eloquent and profound, but nevertheless, I think, significant silence. There was no pause for applause. In fact, so clev erly did the President continue read ing his message, entering immediate ly into a discussion of Army and Navy bills, and so breathless were his listeners, that he was well into the next subject before the people realized what had been saicl.
