Mr. Tho Burlington will placo Us fourth ex clusive fast mall train on tho Chicago Omaha line In scrvlco today. It will leavo the Council Muffs transfer depot at BiOo p. m., arriving In Chicago nt 7:05 a. m. an eleven-hour run. This gives tho Burlington two exclusive fast mall trains each way dally on the Chicago-Omaha run. No. 21, as the now train Is known, and No. 8 oro tho oastbound trains. Tho latter leaves tho transfer depot at 4 p. m., arriving In Chicago at 2:20 a. m. No. 7 and No. IS aro westbound trains, tho former leaving Chicago at 3 a. m. and ar riving at tho transfer depot at 2:30 p. m. No. 1G leaves Chicago at 0:30 p. ra. and ar rives at tho transfer depot at 7:65 a. ra. For sovcral years past tho PostotTico de partment's figures havo shown that of alt tho transcontinental mall passing through Omaha 72 per cent has been westbound and only 28 por cent castbound. In recent years this condition of affairs has been gradually changing as a dlreot result of the west's great prosperity and tho largely Increased malls from tho Orient, so that these figures aro not correct now. Tho Increase of cast bound malls Is equalizing the volumo of tho rarrylng business to such an extent that It has become necessary to put on additional fast mall trains out of Omaha. In this tho Burlington is not alono, ns tho Northwest ern put on an Omaha-Chicago train two education law. Beard of Education. I have always taken prido In our public school system and havo always felt a deep Interest In the manage ment of our public schools. Thirty years ago I framed, Introduced and secured the passage of tho bill creating tho first Board of Education for Omaha. Up to that time wo had two school boards, the district school hoard, elected In the school house caucuses on tho village plan, and we had tho Board of Regents of the High school, an aristocratic, gllt-cdgcd set of men who wcro scheming to make that Institution an academy for the higher education of chil dren of wealthy people. Theso two school boards wcro constantly at loggerheads, often Invoking the power of the courts against each other. Tho bill to place our publlo school of Omaha under tho control of a hoard of edu cation, elected by tho people, was passed to nnlfy and harmonlzo our public school management. Tho ratification of this incisure was submitted to the people at a special election. It was In order to rouse public scntlmont In favor of this measure that tho Omaha Bee was started. I etarted tho little sheet without any Intention or Idea that It would survive beyond the elec tion. Tho Omaha dallies then published opposed tho bill, but when tho votes wcro counted tho result was very Haltering, tho votes stood 0 to 1 In favor of tho board of Davie has never alltllatcd with tho machine. Ho wns nominated because ho represents the peoplo of that portion of tho ward who have a serious grievance against the board. They had been deprived by tho school board last year of proper school facilities. Their children wore compelled to travel from two to tlireo miles to get to a school and one of theso children, through ex posure, died from the effects. The people of that section of the city aro very naturally exasperated, They came In large numbers to the primaries and voted tho ticket that hail been pledged to nominate Mr. Davlo. 1 he machine had no moro to do with the candidacy of Mr. Davlo than It did with tho election of Texas. Mr. Collins, ono of tho police commis sioners, wns running on tho opposite sldo, and sovcial other men Identified with tho city administration wcro working hard for Mr. Bates, hut tho majority of these Sov cnth ward people wcro so wrought up over tho Injustice that they rallied to tho other ticket and nominated Davie. Now Mr. Davlo Is a respectable man, employed for fourteen years as a shipping clerk for the Llnlngcr-Metcalt Implement company. He Is a man of good standing and a man who can bo trusted with school government. I am told that another ono whom they have singled out for slaughter Is Mr. Steiger, bally once a day or once a weok If he saw fl. Only n few days ago tho board voted the superintendent of buildings $15 a month for horse hire in addition to his salary of $1,S00 a year, while the city superintendent of buildings gets only $l.D0O a year. Ono superintendent Is no moro competent than tho other and I feel suro that If only $1,500 had been the salary he would havo been willing to accept It. The rules of tho board are against raising fixed salaries, but they whipped tho dovll around tho stump and raised his salary from $150 a month to $163 a month under pretext of extra pay for horso hire. They say that kissing goes by favor nnd I preaumo that Is the reason why Mr. I'carsd has Imported tho sister of Mr. Kellogg, tho owner of tho Evening News, Into Omaha and placed her In tho High school on a salary of $90 jicr month. Two years ago Miss Kellogg had n posi tion In tho fourth grade In tho Garfield school In Kansas City. Tho highest salary paid In Kansas City for teachers In that grade Is $65 a month, so sho could not have earned any more than that. She was brought to Omaha from Kansas City, al though there nro scores of girls In Omaha Just ns competent and moro fully entitled to tho position. (Applause.) Miss Kellogg'B salary has been raised $10 a month slnco last year. Sho started at $S0 nnd Is now getting $00, and Jumped from the fourth grade at Kansas City over tho heads of qulto a number Into tho Omaha High school. In tho High school there Is n teacher by tho narao of Senter. His salary Is $130 a month; then they allow him $13 a month ns librarian of the High school, nnd the real librarian, who Is known ns tho as sistant librarian, Is n girl by the namo or $15'.

Tho groundwork for this report was tho assumption that a portion ot the money thnt should go to tho school fund was being diverted. Tho story they have set in clr- out wastefulness.

Mr. Smith says tho Idea struck blm Just twenty-four hours before last Monday. Tho republican convention was In session Just ten days before that and It took htm more thnn nlno days to lncubato that wonderful Idea. Now, what was his new Idea? Ho wants to establish commer clal schools In four or five parts of tho olty, with four teacbors, one In each com mcrclal school. That might bo a good thing, but I doubt whothor It would serve tho purposo even If It were carried out. To make It a success It would take tour teachers In each school and It would In crease the payroll by not less than $10,000 a year. But why was the new Idea presented at a time when all tho machln cry ot the schools Is In motion and about one-third ot the term has already expired It looks very much as though It was Repair Work Having recently opened up our own repair shops, wo aro now prepared to tako in gcnoral reflntshlng, repairing and re up'holstcrlng woht of all kinds, which will bo dono In our own shops by component workmen.

TOM) ON TUB lMlHACUEIt. A country minister In a certain town took permanent leavo of his congregation In tho following pathetic mannor: "Brothers and sisters, I come to say goodby. I don't think God loves tnis church, becauso none of you ever die. I don't think you lovo each Other, becauso you havo not paid my salary. Your dona tions aro moldy fruit and wormy apples, nud 'by their fruits ye shall know them.' Brothers, I nm going away to a better place. I havo been called to be chaplain ot a penitentiary.

J., Reformed church, recently. It consisted of a chlcken houso, as well as tho chickens to put In It. Tho oddest featuro of all was that tho good clergyman was unaware ot his friends' In tentions until tho chicken house was found In bis back yard. The presentation was made by the mem bers of tho young men's society, who carted tho chicken house to the minister's home and placed It safely on tho ground. Then each ono secured a chicken and decorated it with ribbons. When a ring at tho door bill announced visitors, Mr. Ellsworth was greatly surprised to find that several dozen good, healthy chickens, gay In their varied decorations, awallcd him.

A neighboring Episcopalian church was divided Into two factions, one favoring tho high church and tho other the low church views, relates the Philadelphia Record. Tho high churcj faction wantod to Intro duce vases and othor symbols, ana wun a view to having these adopted purchased a set of vases which was placed on the altar. In some way this set mysteriously disap peared. Of courso those who had purchased It wcro strong In tho belief that tho other faction bad stolen It. The other faction was as much mystified over tho affair as tbu owners. At this Juncturo a well known clergyman of New York was Invited to oc cupy the pulpit, and consented to officiate on a certain Sunday. Imagine tbe surprise ot the congregation when he announced as his text, "My house Bball be called a house of prayor, but ye havo roado It a den ot thloves." He was en tertained by the high church party, and on the way homo ono of the members told him ot the Incident and of the surprlso over tho text he had used, and all Joined In a hearty laugh over tho occurrence.

"In nn oft year campnlgu llko this I wouldn't glvo $15 for all tho ward meetings held In Omaha by all political parties from tho opening to tho cloao, ho far as thoy go as voto-gottcrs," remarked a member of ono of tho managing committees. "Yet tho general publlo Imagines that these meet ings constitute tho chief work of tho cam paign and many peoplo bcllevo thnt our committees do nothing clso but arrange lists of speakers, hire halls, print hand bills and regnlo tho ward workors with campaign oratory. "Why, aside from perhaps three or four larger meetings addressed by tho most prominent political speakers, all theso ward meetings nro good for Is to Jolly our own folks and keep them up to a pitch of con fldenco that wo will win. To havo tbe can didates lino up on tho plntform ono after another and Bay 'Voto for mo. If elected, I will bo n good officer,' may bo a necessary part of the campaign, but tho real work of tho campaign managers lies In other dlrco tlons. "In Omaha tho republican campaign com mittees always do moro work nnd moro systematic work than those of tho other parties. Why this Is so I cannot say- probably becauso tho republican voters re qulro moro attention. Ilo that ns It may, It Is none tho less a fact that there nro hundreds and thousands of voters right hero in Omnha who haven't enough devotion to citizenship to go out and register unlesn they nro reminded of their duty and prod ded up to perform it. If no work wero done to got men registered and voted on election day except tho simple ndvcrtlscmcnt of tho registration notlco and election proclama tlon printed In tho advertising columns of the pupors and posted on tho dead walls, I doubt If 10 per cent ot tho peoplo entitled to voto would of their own nccord march up to tho polls to put a ballot In tho box. Methods of Getting Them Out. "To get tho voters registered therefore Is tho first great problem wo havo to tackle, Tho republicans havo developed a postal card system of notification whose complete ness few peoplo realize, Hero Is what wo do: Wo first got lists of all the republican voters In tho city. Wo pay no attention to democrats or populists or tboso who are afraid to acknowledge their party affilia tions. Tho democrats and populists can be relied on to look after their own follow ers. This list Is cither mado up by a poll ot tho occupants of every house and build ing In each voting district, or It Is taken from tho registration books of tho preced ing year. "A poll costs lots of money. Last year bolng a presidential campaign, the poll was taken about six weoks before election and carefully checked up and revised. This year, when campaign funds are scarce, tho regis tration lists aro used. Prom ono point of vlow tho registration lists are better be causo the Information they give about tho voter's nationality nnd politics come di rectly from blm. It a man declared under oath that he was a republican last year wo have a right to assume that If wo go after him and get him to voto this year he will voto for republican candidates again. Tho bad feature of tho registration lists Is that tho addresses aro not certain to bo correct. You would be astonished It you went over the books to find bow many people change their residence, move away or die within the year. Then, too, there are all thoso who havo moved In within tho year or be como of voting age or tnkon out naturaliza tion papers. Tho only way to got thoso accurately Is by a regular poll taken at tho time tho Information Is wanted. Work of 4hr Postal Card. Having secured tho lists of party voters tho postal cards aro addressed and put In tho postofllco so as to be delivered on tho ovo of registration. Thero aro three days of registration, but theso enrds aro carefully worded to accomplish their purpose. Hero Is tho language of tho first ono Bent: Thursduy, October 17. 1901, Is registration day.

If that wore Impressed upon him ho would bo tempted to put It off, saying to himself that he could attend to the matter later. It gives warning that unless ho docs rcglstor he can not vote at tho Impending olectlon, and a further warning that it ho doos not give his party affilia tion bq cannot voto nt future republican primaries. To mako suro no does not ror got ho Is asked to keep the card In his pocket as a romlndcr. But tho large majority aa rorget. -rneir memories must bo Jogged again. Imme diately after each registration day the lists In tho hands of the commltteo aro com pared In each voting district with tho names registered and tho latter struck off, loavlng the list to contain only tbe names of thoso still unregistered. On the eve of tho second registration day a second postal card notification Is sent snd tho process repeated for tho third day. For the third day tho card puts to the front tho fact that tho last chance haB come and failure to take advantage of It means dis franchisement. "Ono would Imagine that this system of notification would bring out every voter without nny furthor work. But experience has shown that it Is not safe to rely on It altogether. Each registration day sees an army of workers In each ward nnd proclnct with lists of republican voters upon whom they call personally and take them out to register. When tho resources are at hand this organization Includes paid workers In cvory voting district, in addition to volun teers, nnd conveyances of various sorts are pressed Into tho servlco to make It easier to get the voter out. You know largo num bers of voters will not budge unless per sonally solicited and refuse to spend a mln uto moro than Is necessary on the highest duty ot citizenship. "Election day work ts conducted on sim ilar lines. The peoplo who are registered must bo brought to the polls. Copies of tho completed registration rolls are made In duplicate. The challenger checks off each man as be votes and notes the absentees, who are tent after. Toward the close ot tho election you will seo the workers come In with the Inquiry, 'How many votes yet out? Who are thoy?' And they scurry around to see that the missing ballots do not belong to anyono attached to their party. "Politics Is business nowadays. The cam paign oratory Is only the froth on the top of tho breakers. It takes as much work and ability to conduct a political campaign as it docs to put through a great publlo en terprise or Industrial undertaking, but the campaign managers and committees are ex pected to do It all purely for love of the party."
