"IIAT U the use of the society pace?" a fashlonabla natron
asked me yesterday. "Doa anybody read it?" she wanted
know..
The Inquirer Is the wife of a capitalist. I woner whet
fcer bnsband would tell her If she asked him If any department of his busi
ness were superfluous.
Every newspaper In the land carries a society page, and the newspa
pers of America represent hundreds of millions of dollars invested to bring
profitable returns.
American capital has never been charged with sentlmentallsm nor
wanton waste In manipulation. Even the wildest-eyed anarchist concedes
this to the capitalistic system.
If there Is anything at fault with the selections of departments made
ty newspapers, the fault must lie with our economic system and our clvlll
aatlon.
There are people a-plenty In this world who do object to the present
economlo and the social conditions of the world, and they would bare
everything changed and made over. Artor Olovanettl, BUI Haywood and
many others do not believe In a society page; they believe firmly that It
Should be done away with. But they demand that society go with the page.
"When will the society page be dispensed with?" the smart matron
asked me. and requested that I answer her.
The society pag ewtll go If society is destroyed. When the vagaries
preached by the wild-eyed and the turbulent-hearted come Into effect there
trill be no more society editors to pester society folk. -
"Quite impossible! Preposterous!" I ran hear the matron aay.
Tea, quite preposterous, I say myself for we are all here to stay, and
there is place enough In the sun for us all. smart circles, coteries of lesser
imartness, the system, the newspaper and the society page.

What docs
like?
C. A. Smith, mho travels for his
brother's Investment company of
Ssuk Center, Minn., told some
friends In Omaha yesterday what
s ich a battle looks like.
Bmltn was on the border, when a
Lnlted States insrsnai, who Is a
friend of his, told him casually:
"There Is Rolng t be a Mexican battle
down here a couple of miles. I guess
we'll ride down and see It."
Amlth was in for It. Awsy they went
early in the mnrnlne. They crossed the
border and rode for mllos. Then they
beaan to hear shootlne. Houndlmr a big
hill thpy came In sight of tho battle.
Jest I.Ike Unas.
"Did you ever see a dog sail out and
chase another dog until he caught him.
and then sre that dog chase his pursuer
until he overtook hlin?" said flmlth. "Did
you ever see a pair of dogs keep this
chasing and counter-chasing up for a half
hour?
"Well, these two bunches of Mexicans
kept It up all day. And we lay in the
hills and watched them. There were two
troopa of them. They rode little skinny
ponies. One troop would be on the run
and the other In the chase, galloping
along on the thin ponies and pecking
away at the enemy w.th nfles.
"Then the fe.lows being chased would
swing over tho brow of a hill. Jump
off the horses, and lie down over the
crest of th hill, thus taking advantage
of a natural breastwork. That was al
ways too much .for the pursuers who
would then turn tall and gallop away In
another direction. Once thuse fellows
were on th run, the chaps bch.iwl the
hill would mount and tae after them.
Th former scene would be re-enacted
her. As soon as a convenient Mil wu
reached the pursued would flop down be
hind it, make a stand, and drive oft the
enemy temporarily.
"They kept It up all day. It was a con
stant banging, peckiriK, galloping and
peppering away. Once In a great while
you would see a - f allow tumble off his
horse. I guess they must have killed
six or seven of them."
The annual election of the Omaha Grain
exchange renulted In the selection of J.
T. Buhsnnn. it. I.. Olse'n and C. E. Nl
wonser to succeed A. H. Bewsher, KIm-r
A. Cope and F. P. Cowglll, whose terms
had expired. Grain exchange receipts
were heavy for the middle of the week,
there being 121 cars of a heat, 39 of com
and K of oats. Wheat was 1 rent hlRher
to 1 cent lower, the sales being made all
the way between 90 cents and tl per
bushel.
Corn was M to i of a cent up, selling at
61 to K2 cents, and oats were strong to H
a cent higher. Prices were 32fit cents
per bushel.

he appointed by the city counrll as su- ,
perlntendent and ess stunt superintendent, j
respectively, of the department of work

Good Pay and Big
Demand This Year

Omaha friends of King M. Clark, who
was formerly local manager for th In
ternational Harvester company, hav
been concerned for hi safety, si no he

Will Not Admit They
Attended Meeting
Neither Bob Smith or Dill Ure would
talk about th meeting of members of
th Kpperson conference to which they
had been Invited.
I am not even going to say whether
I was there or not," as Id Mr. Ur. "He
soma of th rest of th fellows. See
Epperson. I don't think It's a good idea
for too many fellows to Ulk about the
same thing. They get thlr trollies
crossed.
Bob Smith wss in a similar frame of
mind. II would not answer a to
whether he had attended th mooting or
not For a long time then he reflect"
seriously, "Let m see, what could 1 tell
you, no, see Epperson.
Kugel Will Find
Why Policemen Do
Not Pay Up Bills

partment announced at a meeting of the
city council his Intention of bringing be

Emery of the police department. The
bill Is for $24.11 for groceries and meat
said to hav been supplied.
Emery Is not th only on against
whom w hav received claims for un
paid bills. I am getting tired of being
bothered with these claims. Emery re
ceives 1100 a month and we are going to
find out why this hill has not been paid,
said Mr. Kugel.
In th Emery case th council was ad
vised that Judgment had been rendered
In a Justlo court In favor of Mr. Blu-

Th railroads are taking hundreds of
corn huskera out in the state, the bulk
of them going south and west, where it is
asserted that the corn gathering Is well
under way, with practically all the corn
matured sufficiently to be cribbed.
This year the wages for corn huskers
run from 34 to 6 cents per bushel, be
sides board and lodging. The average
corn husker, it is contended, can make

perts. Th corn gathering season is ex
pected to last some sixty days.
