OoTernnf McKelvIe In making;
Strenuous efforts to convince the
public and himself that his code
bill has really been a money saver, j
and he baa succeeded In getting dome '
pretty brainy men to give him credit j
for it. Secretary Philip Dross, for
merly private secretary to the gov
ernor, has recently issued a state
ment showing a saving of $109,
98.48 In the past fourteen months.
This sounds like quite a sizable sum,
bat be fort you make up your mind
to vote for Little Mac on this rec
ord, read on. The department sim
ply spent this much less than the
money that had been appropriate
for their use. Money not spent, ac
cording to Secretary Dross, Is money
saved. Reminds one of the little girl
whoRe life was saved by a pin she
didn't swallow It. When It is re
called that the amount Of these ap
propriations is set by Mr. Dross him
self, what glory tBre Is In the ac
complishment is lost. What could
be easier than for him to make the
apportionments large enough so that
the next fourteen months' record
will show even larger savings?
Candidate Morehead has been get
ting pretty well hammered by cer
tain newspapers because of his state
ment, In a recent speech, that if
elected he would do away with the
.state booze hounds and let the regu
Vjar county officers enforce prohibi
tion. This is taken to mean that it
will be easier than ever to do a pros
perous bootlegging business. But
isn t it easier for people to elect men
they know and can trust than It is
to depend on a state department
beaded by a man like Ous Hyers?
.The best Joke that has struck Alli
ance in months has been a certain
state officer who Imparts to every
body, in strict confidence, that he is
down here to stop bootlegging and
gambling. From all over the state
come stories to the effect that the
prohibition enforcement department
Is costing nleny of moncv. and vi
more booze is entering the state than
'ever. If county and city officers can
not do better work than the average
state agent, why not do away with
them altogether and save money?
Out In this part of the state we see
them laying low until the local offi
cers make the catch, and then ar
resting the mwhen the county courts
are dpne with them.

sought. "She must be under thlrty

She must own an automobile Fords

either white or black."
The last time we saw Ora, he said
he had found the woman who filled
the specifications. Dut she was al
ready married. The woman he got
didn't, but he didn't seem to be wor

At another table on the other side of

Are Cows Traffic?
Maxwell Karger, after a motor trip
through Long Island recently, re
turnly returned to the city with ideas
for framing a state law regarding
cows traveling along country roads
In the dark. Mr. Karger, according
to his report, dodged a horse and
buggy one night only to run Into the
cow.
"The animal should carry a tail
light," he maintained, "automobiles
do, wagons do. I see no reason to
except cows. I don't suppose I could
prosecute the cow but I'd like to on
two counts. First for not carrylns a
red light In the rear, and second for
not sounding either of its horns."

"This little pig went to market;
this little pig srayed home: this little
pig had roast beef; this little pig bad

Wee! all the way home."
The foot was suddenly withdrawn,

of existing Nebraska statutes, such as
the two-cent pussenger act, long and
short haul, and equalization of freight
rates between Jobbing pQluts declar
ing the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion had no authority to regulate rates
within the state of Nebraska.
He states the greatest need of Ne
braska people Is a Railway Commis
sion that will regulate the railroads
Instead of permitting the railroads to
dictate to and regulate the people. He
contends that the present car shortage
has been paused by railroad managers
manipulating ear facilities that has
cost farmers and stock raisers mil
lions of dollars In losses.
These losses, he claims, could all
ve been avoided had the Railway
samlssioners broken up this combine
d of trying to shift the blame
6 Commissioner Thorn Browne
heji he sold, "The car shortage Is due
to railway employees loafing on the
Job." He says the Ituilway Commis
sion doesn't want ,to break up this
combine, therefore the people cannot
expect any relief from car shortage as
long as these men control the office,
He further says: "Their adminis
tration of the I51ue Sky Laws Is u dis
grace anil outrage. At least $-J0.0OO,.
OX KMX) worth of worthless stocks were
permitted to be sojd in Nebraska, bear
ing the stamp of upprovul of the Ne
braska State Railway Commission."
"The Commissioners have granted the
Omaha Street Railways a 40 increase
In fare, and denied union employes the
right to have Investigated the cost of
living, declaring dividends were the
paramount issue."
"The present members of the board
have accepted the demands of rail
roads for 3j increase in freight rates,
which will take out of the shippers'
pockets over $10,000,000 per year.
The Increase Is contrary to existing
statutes, und by so doing they have
violated their oath of office, and for
their betrayal of public trust should
be ousted from office. Harrop says
hat "a powerful combination of In
terests have a campaign fund to keep
their puppets in office in order to con
tinue profiteering and establish rule of
government by the few."
He added that "The oniy hope of
Nebraska people for relief is to sec
that candidates are elected who favor
regulations to prevent ' car shortage,
enforcing the two-cent passenger act,
long and short haul provision, and
equalization of rates between Jobbing
points that will save shippers ten mil
lions per year."
He says, THERE IS A REMEDY

Railway Commissioners, Roy M. Har

LET us show you the Certificate of Authenticity which
Mr. Ellison has signed. This is the outstanding fact
which comes to you out of the memorable tone-test re
cital recently given at the Imperial Theatre. A new era in
music is here. Mr. Edison has lifted the phonograph to the
dignity of a new art.
You can no longer be satisfied with, a phonograph that
imitates. Now, you want a phonograph that equals the human
voice.
You know there is such a phonograph. Mr. Edison made
an astounding test with the Official Laboratory Model of the
New Edison to prove it. Alliance heard the New Edison V
CREATE Glen Ellison's voice in direct comparison with Elli
son's living voice. So realistic was the New Edsion's per
formance that no one in the entire audience could distinguish
it from Ellison's living voice.
The NEW EDISON
"The Phonograph With a SouL"
You yourself can have such a phonograph. Let us show
you exact duplicates of the Official Laboratory Model, which
triumphed in the tone-test. Let us show you the Certificates of
Authenticity, which Mr. Ellison signed, after inspecting these
instruments, and in which the famous Scotch baritone declares
that these instruments are the equals in every respect of the
instrument used in the tone-test.
You can buy your New Edison on a Budget Plan which
so distributes the payments that youll hardly feel them.
