DRUGGISTS GIVEN PERMITS
Exois loaid 0 ferrules Pretests Filed by
' th. World-Herald.
BR0ATCH SPRINGS A SUGGESTION
Wholesale Druggists, Who Compete
with liquor Deulrrs, Should Be
Required to Pay the
.'.Fall License Fee.
The feature of last evening s meeting of
the Board of Fire and Police commission
ers was the granting of thirty-seven drug
stores permits to sell liquor which had
been protested by the World-Herald on the
grounds that the applicants had adver
tised In The Bee, which was not the paper
having the largest circulation, according to
the contention of the protestant. The
protests were set for hearing before the
board some time ago, but was postponed
on request of the World-Herald to last
evening. When the applications were taken
up by the board last evening no one ap
peared on behalf of the hyphenated Journal,
so the board overruled the protests and
Commissioner Bpratlen moved the permits
be (rented, which was done.
Wholesale Drusslsts Permits.
la connection with the granting of these
drug store permits. Commissioner Broatch
took occasion to remark it is his judgment
that the- two wholesale drug firms who
were granted permits, the Richardson com
pany and the Blake & Bruce company,
should pay tho $1,000 license the same as
the Wholesale liquor dealers do, on the
grounds that the wholesale druggists are
recognized competitors of the wholesale
liquor dealers, selling in the same terri
tory and In some instances selling as large
quantities. .
Tho announcement was made of the
withdrawal of E. F. Maloney's application
for a. saloon license. Mr. Maloney con
ducted .the place known as' Maloney's
theater in connection with, his saloon,
which was affected by the action of the
board lu. requiring owners of muslo halls
operated In connection with saloons to re
fuse admittance to women.
Two- more saloon licenses were granted.

MB HAD FAITH
And It Was Justified.
"In reply to your letter of recent date,
wilt say that I am cured as sound as a
dollar. I used about three ot the fifty
cent packages. . I was going to write you,
but was holding up to see if the piles would
give! me any further trouble. 1 feel no
signs of the piles and believe I am cured
entirely. I had faith in Pyramid Pile Curs
at the start, and struck right to the treat
ment. You can refer anyone to me you
like. I can soon tell what Pyramid Pile
Cure has done for roe. Wishing you much
suocesa. I remain, J. C. Kinkald, Mgr. for
Flelschman Co., Agency at Knoxvllle,
Teun."
It la a well recognised fact that the beat
advertising an article can have is that
which Is known as "word of mouth;" this
rightfully carrlea more weight than all the
claims which can be set forth. It follows
that Mr. Kinkald, with his wide acquaint
ance, -will largely promote the sale and use
of , Pyramid Pile Cure because and here
Is 'the vital point he knows whereof he
speaks, and not only advocates its use but
does ao with enthusiasm; this is not to be
wondered at, and in point of fact can any
one, after reading his letter, doubt .that
this remedy cures?
Pyramid Pile Cure Is sold by druggists
for the low price of fifty cents a package;
it is in suppository form. Is applied di
rectly to the parts affected, and does Its
work quickly and painlessly; there Is no
other remedy "Just, as good." -

cur of plies Is published by Pyramid Drug
Co., Marshall, Mich., and will be sent free
te any address for the asking.

Talk Charter Revision.
After adjournment the commissioners
met with the subcommittee of the city
charter revision committee for the purpose
of going over the police situation in Omaha
and considering the recommendations of
Chief of Police Dwiuhue, which recom J
mendatlona have been made public. The
commissioners and members of the sub
committee expressed themselves as In
iayor of the chiefs recommendations In
the main. The chief showed the present
inadequacy of his department to patrol
the city in a manner commensurate with
Its area and population. Chief Donahue
suggested., tho increase of the police ap
propriation from $115,000 to $150,000 and of
fered a number of suggestions in the line
of graduated salaries, establishment of a
metropolitan relief fund and other matters
pertaining to the betterment of the police
department. The matter of appropriation
led to a general discussion as to the ad
visability of amending the charter so as
to leave the responsibility of the disburse
ment wholly In the hands of the commis
sioners. Some took the ground that the
mayor and council, being elected directly
by the people, were the proper persons to
pass on the expenditure of the appropria
tion, as Is now the case.

WARNS LEGISLATURE AGAINST B90DLERS
Pleads for election of States
Senator by Direct Vote of
People ana Other
Reforms.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. . Every
train arriving today added to the already
large crowds of people who had assembled
from various parts of the state to attend
the Inauguration of Joseph W. Folk as gov
ernor of Missouri. The hotels are crowded
to overflowing and private residences
throughout tho city were thrown open to
the visitors.
Previous to the inauguration ceremonies
Mr. and Mrs. Folk were guests of honor
at a breakfast given at the gubernatorial
mansion by outgoing Governor Dockery.
Mr. and Mrs. William Jennings Bryan and
thirty other guests, among them prominent
democrats and their wives, were present.
Promptly at noon Joseph W. Folk was
Inaugurated governor of Missouri. The
ceremonies took place In the house of rep
resentatives, which had been appropriately
decorated for the occasion with flowers
and fla.s.
Governor-elect Folk and Lieutenant Governor-elect
McKInley met Governor Dock
ery and the other state officials at the
governor's office and, headed' by the com
mittee on arrangements, marched to the
hall. Mrs. Folk was escorted by Senator
Wornall of Clay county. The oath of
office was administered by Chief Justice
Brace of the supreme court. Governor
Folk then delivered his Inaugural address.
Folk's Address.
In his inaugural address Mr. Folk said:
Partisanship Is a Kood thins sometimes,
but patriotism is a be.tiir thing all the time.
Partisanship is well enouch when It dors
not conflict with patriotism, but patriotism
14 a higher virtue than partisanship. Some
of you are democrats, some are republi
cans, all are Missourlans. In the discharge
of official duties let us be Missourliuis be
fore we are anything else. Do not forget
you Will UW HIU1UK UlU imny JUU limy

Ipy y injuring the punnc. onr may be
I in nrivate 1 f n democrat or rcDuh Iran, but
when he steps Into public office he becomes
'a public aervant-a servant of all the peo-
, p
' when you come before the people to give
an account of your stewardship the account
must ue tor puouc service anu not tor pariy
work. Your party nominated you, the peo
ple elected you and sent you here to serve
the public, and by that service you will
reflect credit or discredit on your party.
You are here as legislators, not as politi
cians, and the welfare of the state should
ever be your first consideration. If the pub
lic weal should conflict with party advan
tage or personal ambition, the public good
should prevail.
If theie be any corruption during this
session of the general assembly it would ba
a disgrace to the state and a reflewtion on
every man in this body cad upon every
official in the state government. It is too
often the tendency of good men in legisla
tive bodies to close their eyes to things of
this nature, satisfied with their own lion
e.sty, but forgetilna that It Is as much their
duty to protect nnd defend the honor of the
state as It Is tli.lr.own honor.
'A ho legislatui who sells his vote traffics
In the Honor ul a sovereign people and
prostitutes the trust reposed In him. Tnere
can be no offense which, It allowed to go
on, is traugiu with graver consequences,
lt'ls moie tula! to civic Hie than any other

inlutor, of every orllclal and of every citi
zen to oo an mat ne can to eradicate this
evil, which is- the greatest enemy to free
government and the greatest danger that
confronts this nation today.
It is not alftaya by tuning money thnt
an official may prostitute his trust. He
does it whenever he uses the power given
him to be exercised for the public good
for any other purpose. An official can
embezzle public power as well as public
money. One In public office has no more
riffht to 1 1 MM h I m nfflplnl r. n n - n r ns.
sonal ends than he would have to nut hi
hands Into the Dublic treasury tn nnv
private debt.
In order to aid .4n the investigation of
rumors of corruption, laws should be en
acted compelling witness to testify as to
their knowledge cf bribery transactions
and exempting such .witnesses from prose
cution for any matters directly or In
directly growing out of such testimony.
Pass as Evidence of Corruption.
When a legislator ncrepts a pass, he
puts it In the knowledge of the repre
sentatives of the railroad that he has vio
lated the law and is mbject to Indictment.
This knowledge can be used by the r.ill
road representatives to club the legislator
Into submission to corporate Interests
It Is proper that railroads and all Inter
ests, quasi-public and public, should have
the right to appear before legislative--om-mlttees
and present reasons foi or against
the passage of any bill. They likewise
should be accorded the privilege of ad
dressing the Individual legislators in a
proper way, but the maintenance of a pro
fessional lobby breeds corruption and
ulinnl.l nnl hj , .i-... I , , ..1 Tl . .
bying should be made a crime.
The state Is entitled to have each cltlzeii
.,. v.v... ..urn;. ., ic-nuii in me eiec-
tions may lie tno Just sentiment of the
Deoule of this state. It would m tn i.a
only Just that those who do not prize this
privilege enough to exercise It.' ought to
forfeit it. The knowledge that, failure to
vote would disfranchise them and make
them political eunuchs, would bring home
to them a realization of Its supreme value.
When a corporation obtains franchise. It
is forfeited oy nonuse. Apply this princi
ple to the privilege of voting and ft will
do more than anytnlng else to remedy the
evil of civic Indifference, that is the weak
ness of a republican form of government.
As another step in the direction of gov
ernment by the people. United States sena
tors ought to bn elected by the people and
Missouri should lead the demand for a
constitutional amendment providing for
this reform. -
At the conclusion of Oovernor Folk's ad
dress the oath of office wis administered to
Lieutenant Governor-elect McKInley in ths
senate chamber.
. Bryan Delivers Address.
Colonel William J. Bryan, who came with
his wife today to attend the Inauguration
of Governor Folk, addressed the legislature
on invitation of the republican house. The
speaker, who was heartily received, con
gratulated the people on the election of Mr,
Folk, because, he said, it was the reward
for duty well performed. Corporation In
fluences, the speaker said, often controlled
officials and to stop this he favored mu
nicipal ownership of public Institutions.
He advocated the establishment of state
fire and state life Insurance departments
to furnish Insurance to the people at cost.
"I do not think our banks are safe," said
Colonel Bryan. "They are so arrangtd that
they make money In good times a Mi throw
the risk on the depositor in bad times." He
then made reference to the affair of Mrs.
Chadwlck.
Colonel Bryan commended President
Roosevelt for recommending legislation to
have campaign contributions printed. He
also commended the president for his
recommendation of legislation' enlarging
the powers of the Interstate Commerco
commission. "Railroads control much leg
islation," said Colonel Bryan, "and If Pres
ident Roosevelt is in earnest tn curbing
their power he will lead a strenuous life
during the next several years.

INDIA
Governor Hanly Delivers Ills First
Messasre to Legislature.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 9. In his message
to the legislature Governor Hanly recom
mends the creation of a commission to take
steps toward the establishment of a state
hospital for slcentlflc treatment of tubercu
losis. He suggests that the the latter
should be on the village, or farm colony
plan.
The gradual abolishment of prison con
tract labor la urged, and instead a system
of work house, under state control, In
which all state prisoners given Jail sen
tences shall be confined, Is proposed. Also,
the establishment of a school of letters
and a trade school at the state reformatory
ani the employment c.f prisoners at labor
on state account. The governor recom
mends a railroad commission to determine
question of rates and collateral subjects.
He says on this subject:
Without the Dower to fix rates the com
mission would not be effective. If the
evils sought to be reformed ate to be
readied, the tiower mentioned Is essential.
The law should also be so frnmpd as to
Fn"
revent unreasonable and Inexcusable delay
the transportation of freight or cars or
unjust discrimination In rates, either Ty
wnv of rebates or otherwise. It should
also prohibit discrimination asalnit locali
ties In furnishing cars and should have
some provision relative to the transfer and
switching of cars. Hills of lading releasing
or limiting the common luw liability of
carriers with reference to property cov
ered by such bills while In the custody of
such carrier, should be prohibited, and the
commission should have power to hear anl
determine differences affecting carriers, or
between the carriers themselves.
