la Reaching Omaha to
''Bar Blocks.
Lnrge Increases In buying of Omaha
wholesalers and Jobbers were shown In the
report of the Jobbers' and Manufacturers'
association when the board of directors
met In the rooms of the Commercial club
Monday evening to dose tne buslnees af
fairs of the fall merchants' meetings, held
from July li to October 1.
The Increase over the trade during the
spring meeting of 1W7 was TH per cent,
while the amount of railroad fare refunded
by the wholesalers to customers was 12H
per cent more than during the spring
meetings. The trsde during the meetings
In the early part of 1907 was a record
breaker, but when the actual figures were
compiled for the fall trade It waa found
that It waa even In excess of the spring
trade, which had been enormous.
Wholesalers are beginning to reap the
results of the northwest trade excursion
and the amount of railroad fares refunded
Is significant. Customers trailed longer
distances than ever before and buyers at
tended the continuous meeting during the
two montha and a half who had never
bought a dollar's worth of goods on the
Omaha market before. '
Tho largest sales during the fall were
made by the dry gooda houses, while the
other lines which were sold to break a
record were boots and shoes, notiona, hard
ware, crockery, hats and caps, rubber
goods, furniture, harness and saddlery,
vlrugs and confectionery. The demand for
Omaha confectionery haa been especially
great, and, though It Is not a line which
runs Into big - figures, during the fall It
swelled the total sales by many thousands
of dollars.
Lower Rates Tksa Ever,
To give customers an opportunity to come
to Omaha on lower rates than ever, or en
tirely free of cost, since tho railroads are
making no special rates, the Jobbers' and
Manufacturers' association has arranged
to pay the railroad fare of customers. No
other city or distributing point In the west
Is doing thla for customers, and of the
thousands of buyers who visited Omaha,
not one failed to signify that the very next
meeting would ace them back in Omaha
again to buy goods. The amount of rail
road fare paid for customers amounts to a
trifle over 3 per cent of the total amount
of goods fought and Is a feature of trading
at the great central market Which is much
appreciated by the customer.
To advertise the meeting, 23,000 circulars
were sent out by the association In the
states of Nebraska. Iowa, South Dakota,
Colorado, Kansas, Wyoming and Montana.
A similar methods of announcing themeet
Ings will be used for the coming meetings.
It was announced Tuesday that tha next
merchants' meeting will be. .held January
16 to April 1, 1906, and plans for the recep
tion of a large number of customers are al
ready well under way. The railroad fares
will bo refunded under tte'-ame plan as
for tho fall meeting of 1W7.
Coafldence the Keynote.
Confidence In the trade and financial
outlook and confidence In the business
outlook for 1906 was the keynote of all the
good things spoken at the meeting of the
directors of ho Jobbers' and Manufac
turers' association Monday evening. The
outlook la said to bo, aa goo as at the
beginning of 1907, and not a word was
spoken which breathed an Intimation of
the so-called "hard times." The whole
salers believe the buying will bo as heavy
aa last spring, If It does not show large
Increase, as few merchants In the country
are carrying over heavy Blocks. The buy
ing, according to tha wholesalers, has re
sulted In the merchants disposing of a large
volume of staple merchandise and regular
winter gooda and to devote rather less at
tentlon than usual to the strictly holiday
lines. This is said to be a healthy sign and
Is really indicative of the feeling of con
servatlsm which is the natural result of
tho recent financial flurry.
CITY PRINTING TO COST LESS
Material Will Bo Bought la One Lot,
According to thejevr
Flam.
Specifications for printing have been ap
proved by the committee, consisting of
Comptroller Lobeck, City Clerk Butler and
Councllmen Brucker, Johnson and Zlm
man. The specifications are an Innovation
in ctty work, the plan introduced a year
or two ago in th county clerk's office
having been adopted. Under this plan the
city buys at one time all of the various
forma of printed matter needed and blda
are received on the entire quantity in place
of lota of 600 and l.OuO as heretofore.
Members of the committee estimate this
course will save aeveral. hundred dollara
a year, and other changes will result In
a greater saving. Another Innovation Is
the designation of tbo brands of paper re
quired for tho work. , . ,
It has been decided also to make the city
comptroller custodian of-4he materials of
the various departments in phtoo- of sup
plying each department with all' supplies
needed for the year at one time. This
system la expected to aavo a comparatively
large amount of money, i

OMAHA. Dec. 22. -To the Editor of The
Bee: In large moaiur I am In personal
agreement with my very dear friend of
long standing. Dr. Miller. "Prohibition,"
aa he says, "does not prohibit" In any state
or large city where It ties been enacted.
But here In Omaha, at the present tlma.
It Is not a question of prohibition at, all,
but of regulation. Regulation Can regulate
In any state or cliy where th authorities
are at all disposed to obey their oath of
office. The Slocumb law waa passed aa an
alternative to a prohibitory law, which
was then strongly pressed by the Protest
ant rellgrous bodies of the state. Tha liquor
Interests supported the enacting of that
law, I fear not honestly, with any Inten
tion of obeying Its provisions, but as' the
lesser of two evils. After a very warm
campaign the Slocumb law waa passed,
venr much to the chagrin and disappoint
ment of those who stood opposed to tha
legalizing of the sale of liquor under any
conditions; and lust as much to the satis
faction of tho liquor Interests at the tlma
It msy not be out of place to say that I
myself stood opposed as a citizen to a pro
hibitory law at tha time, for the reason
given by Dr. Miller for his opposition. It
would not prohibit. For thla I waa de
nounced by some very Intemperate temper
ance people. They aald I was In league
with Mr. Iter and tho liquor Interests; and
It was very strongly hinted that I had my
reward for being.
But now, sir, from the day that the Slo
cumb law was passed to this present day,
the liquor Interests have never obeyed the
Si cumb law for a day honestly. Neither
have tens of thousands of other cltlsene
who helped to place It on the statute book
They have willfully violated every one of
Its regulative provisions. They have acted
as though no such law had ever been en
acted, and by their own consent. They
took down no screens, they have sold their
wares on forbidden days and at forbidden
hours. They have sold liquor to habitual
drunkards and to minors, and to children
whoso unprincipled fathers and mothers
sent them for It to gTatlfy their own de
praved appetltea. I know very well, Blr.
that there la aa much' difference between
liquor dealera as between men In other
walks of life, and that all are not equally
guilty of willful violation of salutary
law, enacted by their own consent. But all
re gutltyof willful violation of the law.
So are other dtlsens. who would not like
to be called criminals, and yet whst are
they if they aro notf They willfully vio
late the law which they helped to pass.
They visit bars on Sundays. They go 'be
hind screens to drink. They treat one an
other, as though the law did not exist to
forbid. And now because there are men
who are determined to put the Slocumb
law In honest operation, the liquor inter
ests and. their supporters are seeking to
make It odious by Invoking the law against
all work of every kind, on Sunday, that
cannot be shown to be actually necessary.
Well sir, personally I am In favor of
stopping all work of every kind on one day
In seven that cannot bo clearly ehown to
be a work of necessity or of charity. Not
on religious grounds simply, but on grounds
of humanity. Neither man nor beast can
work aeven days a week without physical
deterioration. It Is the human and divine
right of both to have rest from labor. It
la the duty of tho state to see that they
hav It, whether they want It or not. In
any case, tbey need it for physical or
mental rest. There Is no sound reason for
wearing out the bodjes and minds of men
by a treadmill round of grinding labor
seven days out of every week. Stop It by
all means. Most of the labor done on our
streets, in our stores and offices on Sunday
Is absolutely unnecessary. But, sir, the
present crusade against Sunday work and
business Is not an honest one. It Is not
pressed for the honest purpose of serving
those who toll, but for the purpose of mak
ing the Slocumb law odious; to weary and
disgust people with It and all Sunday law,
in order that we might have "a wide open
town. ' The liquor Interests msy succeed.
yet J hope not. But 4t may be well for
themto remember that a prohibitory law Is
yet a possibility In Nebraska. Even though
It may not succeed In prohibiting, yet It
would prove mighty Inconvenient for the
liquor Interests to have such a law passed.
Granted that there might be Just as much
liquor drunk after as before Its passage,
yet saloons and breweries here In Nebraska
would not sell aa muctf of It aa they now
do. and the breweries might be put out of
business, for a season at all event. Per
sonally I hold no bitter antagonism to aa
loon men. The man who sells liquor from
behind the bar la not a whit worse than
the reputable cltlcen who drinks the same
liquor In front of It. Oftentimes he Is
much better man. But whether men stand
behind or before bars, to sell or to buy. It
Is well for them to remember that unless
they obey the Slocumb law cheerfully
much worse thing may come upon them.
A petty crusade against other lees perilous
Sunday violation of law la a dangerous
business. They may very easily make the
Slocumb law odious, but to their own hurt.

OWEN ' DROPS WR0NQ PAPER
Blind Senator Had RIx-Year Terse la
Mia Hand, bat Pat It
Back.
"Drawing lota for (30,000 and a six years'
term In tho United Btatea senate Is a little
game of chance I witnessed when In Wash
ington," said C. A. Butler, a Kansas City
bualnesa man at' tha Paxton hotel. "The
partiea to the lAt drawing were Messrs
Gore and Owen, tho newly elected United
Stdtes senstors from the new atate of
Oklahoma. Aa one-third of the senators go
out every two years, these gentlemen had
to draw lota to decide which of the two
would retire In 1909, 1911 or 1913. On three
Blips of paper of equal length were written
the numbera Indicating the above years.
These were folded and put Into a paste
board box, and the fate of each man hung
on the piece of paper he drew. Out of
courtesy for Mr. Owen, who Is a blind
man, he was allowed to draV first. Two
of tho pieces of paper stuck to his finger,
but ha' could see neither, and put one of
them back. Ho had In hla hand, as was
afterward discovered, the paper entitling
him to tho six-year term and the ono for
the one-year term. He put the former
back and held on to the latter. Mr. Gore
drew tho paper Owen had put back, thu
giving him tho six-year term. .
"Mr. Owen's bad luck in putting back
the wrong paper cost him four years In
tho senate nd $30,000 salary. Aa tha con
stitution of Oklahoma provides for tha
election of United Btatea senator by direct
vote, Mr. Owen will have to begin hla
campaign for re-election next summer."
