Seetariaa Dtvlslaaa of the
Chsrek,
OHIO. 111.. July 14. To the Editor of
The Bee: I read with much Interest the
article In Monday's paper containing some
pointed questions by Kev. D. K. TlndaU.
I cannot but admire such manifest courage
and manhood as la back of such state
ments. I am a resident of Omaha and I
answer with all my heart, "Yes. we are
concerned; It Is something to us."
I cannot discuss at length hla questions,
but In reference to the one I would say
most emphatically, "Tea, all denomina
tional methods are failures." He asks
why the low and alow condition of the
churches. I answer, the divided state of
God's people. Sectarianism and denomlna
tionallsm are dead, or fast dying. When
there la no growth there la decay. When
Proteatanta wake up to this fact and get
together the decay win stop and Mis' church I
will march onward to victory. ' "'
I have all respect for Mr. TlndaU and
believe him to be perfectly sincere, but I
want to ask one question. He states that
the Methodist Episcopal church, with a
membership of 1,000,000. increased but 60,000
In all of ita departments last year. I
would Uke to know why the Church of
Christ, numbering 1.500,000, and undenomi
national In character. Increased over 30,000
the first three months of the present year?
I haven't the figures for tha other montha
Be It remembered that the Church of
Christ la battling against all these human
phases of the church that cause us to be
divided. The gospel. In Its simple purity.
haa not loat Its saving power, but Its effec
tiveness Is destroyed by the U0 and more
ways in which it la presented.
It may here be aaked, How are wa going
to unite? I answer by saying that we
eaa unit on the bible and never on any
other platform. When we have no creed
but Christ, no book but the bible, no name
but a bible name, practice nothing but
what the bible teachea, when we apeak
where the bible speaks and are silent where
the bible Is silent, we shall hava unity, and
never before that la done. Let thla be our
motto: "In faith, unity; In opinions.
liberty; In all things, charity." If we
accept the simple gospel, (0 as far as the
apostles went, except In miracles, and atop
where they stopped, we shall be one in
Christ Jesus.
I submit thla for tha consideration of tha
worthy gentleman. I have heard him
preach and believe him to' be earnest In
his efforts to do what Is right. But that
there la a great blunder In Christian work
today no on doubts and no one can be

The Wert Omaha Improvement club met
last evening at Forty-first and Dodge
afreets in special session, with a large at
tendance. Councilman Huntington of the
Ninth ward and Gas Inspector Lynch were
present and tha meeting was a business one
throughout.
Judge Estelle of the street railway com
mittee reported that there la but Uttle
prospect of much being done In the way
of street railway Improvement In the near
future, though something la to be hoped
for later.
The vacant lots and weed committee re
ported progress to the effect that the weed
forests have been somewhat reduced and
there Is still room for a great deal more
work along those lines. Chairman Callahan
said that the owners of vacant lots are not
doing much work In the weed destruction
line. He thought If the club la back of
notices to be served on the agents and
owners of vacant lots that they would pay
some attention to the requests to cut the
weeds. It was decided that the cl Jb should
send written notices to such parties and
back up the request with the moral suasion
of tha club
Judge Slabaugh of the entertainment
committee had nothing In particular to
report, but he was of tha opinion that It
would be a capital Idea to invite members
of the other improvement clubs of tha city
to attend the meetings, and thus by an
exchange of Ideas much could.be accom
plished. A motion prevailed that the chair
extend an Invitation to prominent speakers
of other clubs, particularly of the south
side Improvement clubs, to be present at
the Weat Omaha club meeting on the first
Thursday evening In August.
The sidewalk committee reported progress
but that there la little prospect of much
being done for the present owing to the
shortage of money In the city sidewalk
fund.
In order to- work more effectively the two
sewer committees were consolidated with
Judge Slabaugh as chairman.'
AH CI ahe te lalte.
Judge 81abaugh stated that he had been
asked by Mlas Margaret McCartney, sec
retary of the Orchard Hill Improvement
club, to extend an Invitation to the Weat
Omaha club to meet at court room No.
In the court house next Tuesday evening
at S o'clock, with all the improvement clubs
of the city, to whom a like Invitation has
been extended. The purpose of this meet
ing Is to consider the expediency of or
ganising a central Improvement club to
which the miscellaneous Improvement cluba
of the city will be auxiliary. He himself
thought that the best of good could be ac
complished by a central organisation, and
the larger club would In no way Interfere
with the work of the smaller clubs, but
would on the other hand aid them very
materially In their work. The central club
would exercise a very strong Influence on
improvement legislation and the general
benefit to the city would be Incalculable.
The club by an unanimous vote accepted
the Invitation to be present and participate
la the organization of the central club.
The question of speedily securing an es
tablished grade on Dewey avenue from
Fortieth to Forty-fourth street was dis
cussed and was referred te the streets and
alleys and grades committee, consisting of
Messrs. Blake. Roes and Drummy.
Councilman Huntington was present and
stated that anything that he could do In
conformlty with, the suggestions , of the
club he would gladly do. The club la the
tight place to Initiate, Improvementa and
he could do much more good as council
man for the west side through the sug
gestions and co-operation of ths club than
alone and unaided. Let the club through
Its secretary and committees Indicate what
is necessary to be done and much can be
done for the good of all concerned. Work
will begin on the sewer extensions Just as
soon aa ths proposala for bids can be ad
vertised for, and It only waits for the coun
cil to decide which shall be the official
paper. Thla he thinks will be done next
ilonlay evening. He spoke of the hope
ful tutlook for the earlr acquirement of
funds for sidewalk, grades and water Im
provements. He will be glad to meet the
gnid'.ng committee and with It visit the
ci'.y engineer's office to look over the ques
tion of grades and sldewalka . He stated
further that the club wants to begin to
consider the nsme for the new west side
boulevard when the grade for the same la
fixed
Talks Abeat Lights.
Oas Inspector Lynch was present and
talked to the club fcr a few moments. He
said that the purpose of his visit was to
confer with ths club on the light question,
and to see where new lights are most
needed. Being a member of the Becond
Ward Improvement club he extended a
cordial Invitation to the Weat Omaha club
to meet with It next Wedneaday evening
at Its quarters on Vinton street between
Seventeenth snd Eighteenth. Refreshments
are to be served and a rood time la as
sured. The Invitation was accepted.
The chairman and secretary of the club
with Judge Slabaugh were appointed a com
mlttee to report at the next meeting aa to
the expediency of purchasing the building
In which the club meetings are being held
for permanent quarters.

fused to recognise the board and this still
holds go-Kl. Mayor Koutsky said to a Bee
reporter last night that tha fire, water and
police committee of ths council, which Is
compos, d of Broderlck. Welsh snd Smith.
has the only right to purchase supplies tor
the firs and police departments and that
purchases made by Mr. Bergqulst. secre
tary of the board, will not bo consicerea i
all by the finance committee of the council.
Continuing Mayor Koutsky said: Tne
council has set aside a certain sum ror
the maintenance of the fire and police de
partments, but no provision was made for
the payment of salaries of members of the
board, neither was the salary of the sec
retary taken Into consideration when the
council flgnred on the levy. As the levy
haa been made. It la not within the power
of the mayor or council to provide funds
for the Fire and Police commissioners and
if any expense Is Incurred by thst body
the members will have to pay It them
selves as the city, with Ita limited resources,
cannot."
Members of the council feel the same as
the mayor In regard to paying hills for the
maintenance of these two departments of
ths dty. All bills wlH have to go through
ths finance committee of the council and
this committee proposes standing by the
mayor when It cornea to approving Milt
not authorised by the council. As fo sal
aries for firemen and policemen, these hava
been provided for In the levy and as soon
ss the levy Is available the men will
paid Just as long as ths funds hold out.
Still Will Iaaprevesaeata.
The Bcu'.heaat Improvement club met
last night at ' Madison school and talked
over Improvements for thst sect'on of the
city. It was the same old demand for more
street electric lights and better fire pro
tectlon. Fire protection ca:i only be ob
tained by the locating of hydrants snd this
the city Is powerless to .do ss enly the
usual sum of Slt.eQO has been e aside by
the council for hydrant rental. Better
street car service on the Albright Une Is
also desired. A committee has been named
to confer with the officers of the street rail
way company with a view to getting the
car Une extended to the county line and a
request will also be made for a better and
later night service. The dub Is to
the council for more fire hydrants even if
' another overlap has to be Incurred.
Repairing; Dirt Reads.
Under the direction of Mayor Koutsky
snd City Engineer Beal, the street depart
ment la working plowa and scrapers in the
Second. Third. Fourth and Fifth wards
As soon aa the heavy work Is dons ths
mayor proposes putting the road mschlna
at work In theee wards and placing the
roads In first class condition. Employes
of the strtet department are not permitted
to loiter, aa competent foremen look after
the work. Under the system Inaugurated
by Mayor Koutaky a large sum of money
has beea saved the city In the matter of
street repairs and the unpaved streets now
are In better condition than under any
previous admlniatratlon.
PoafefBre Bids.
There Is a big difference In the bids Bled
by four pointers and decoratrc-s In the
work to be done on the South Omaha post
office. When ths Treasury department
made ita estimate of the eiat it was Hated
that possibly 16.000 would hava to bs spent.
The four bids received were openel by
Postmaster Etter In tha presence of sll
bidders Wedneaday snd the figures copied
down by each bidder. The lowest bid was
tl.M snd the highest U.ttO. Postmaster
Ettsr declined to give out the figures, as
he said thst he usd forwarded the btda to
Washington. Bidders, however, were com
paring notes yesterday and failed to sea
how there could be such a difference la
bids, especially aa ths government archi
tect had sstlmated ths cost st K.&H In
the event that any bid Is accepted the suc
cessful bidder will be compelled to furnish
a bond In twloa the sum ut his bid.
Try lag Private gale.
As the finance committee of the eouactl
haa tha authority te sell tha overlap bonds
at private ssle an effort Is being made to
find a buyer. Testerday a representative
of W. J. Hayes st Sons sf Cleveland called
on Councilman Welsh and Intimated that
he would pay par for tha bonds providing
the Interest waa mads at the rate of t per
cent. The council would very much like to
get a premium, but It la asserted that this
la tm possible at this time owing to tha
languid condition of the money market.
Juat as soon as a definite offer Is made
with a certified check for $3,000 put up the
finance committee will meet at the clerk's
office and consider the matter. It Is the
same with, the school bonds. Secretary
Laverty has been ssklng advice oa the
matter and those who deal In money have
suggested to him that the bonds could be
sold at par with I per cent Interest. It Is
possible that these bonds, too, may be sold
at private sale.
