CLUB HOLDS MEETING A largely attended meeting of St. Philip’s Men’s club was held last Thursday night at the residence of Mr. George Watson, 2714 North Twenty-eighth avenue. Dr. W. W. | Peebles presided. A scholarly and j instructive paper on “The History of the Church from Apostolic Times” was read by Dr. Craig Morris, in which he showed the equality of the Apostles, and disproved the suprem acy of St. Peter. He maintained the thesis that the subsequent claim to supremacy of the See of Rome, which was a late development, was based upon a primacy of honor, but not of inherent right or divine appointment. The paper showed wide reading and careful preparation. The next regular meeting will be held May 11th, at the residence of Mr. William G. Haynes. “SQUARE SEVEN” IS HIGHLY ENDORSED The “Square Seven” ticket in the city election, composed of Mayor Dahlman, Dunn, Hopkins, Marcell, Noyes, Koutsky, and Hummel are be ing highly endorsed in every section of the city, by representatives of business and union labor and by prac tically every sect and creed. Frank Howell, prominent Omaha attorney, recenty said that the “Square Seven” should be elect ed because “they are progressive; stand for sound and good govern ment; efficiency in handling the city’s business, and because they be lieve in a square deal for every citi zen.” Mr. Howell in his statement, en dorsing the “Square Seven” said that Omaha has one of the finest police departments in the country and that there is little crime in Omaha in com parison with other cities. ' Irving Baxter also highly endorsed the "Square Seven.” He said as a result of the work of the six present commissioners on the “Square Sev en” ticket, taxes have been cut in Omaha, saving the people of Omaha hundreds of thousands of dollars. “Everyone of these seven men are experienced in running the city," said Mr. Baxter, “so why change them. Omaha is a well-governed city; we have clean streets; good pavement; good parks and drives; a good police department and low taxes. There is no need for a change and I hope the whole seven are elected. That is the way to reward men for good services rendered in administering the affairs of the city.” The election is May 3rd. Every man and woman should go to the polls and aid in returning Miese men to office. W. S.

GAYETY THEATRE Diversity of entertainment char acterizes the “Good Little Devils” show, which comes to the Gayety theater Sunday for a week’s engage ment. Features of the show are two dis tince classes of comedy, many vari eties of dancing, from soft shoe to buck and wing; both vocal and in strumental musical specialities, in cluding a male quartet, and an un usual pleasing array of feminine beauty in a setting quite attractive from a scenic and costuming stand point. Bobby Wilson, eccentric comedian, and Pauline Russell, the siren of bur lesque, are the featured players. Miss Russell is a beauty with a vivid per sonality and a performer of marked ability. Reggie White, a nifty acrobatic dancer; Loretta Lee, alluring sou brette, and Dolly LaSalle, dainty, dimpled, dancing ingenue, complete the cast of women principals, while Fred Wilson, master of several musi cal instruments; Jack Harrington, buck and wing hoofer, and Ed Grif fin, ballad singer, are in the male support. The chorus is composed of pretty and shapely girls who have been thor oughly schooled in a number of in tricate dancing routines and who pro vide an interesting background for the display of the extraordinary tal ent which is part of the “Good Lit tle Devils.” | Sam Reider, manager, promises Gayety patrons another midnight show and frolic on Saturday, follow ing success of the two which have been staged previously. An extra added feature will be “The Girl in the Fan.” l^yerT^unera^iom^l 2416 North 22nd St. Phone Web. 0248 A Modern Funeral Home Endeavoring at all times to meet the demand economically as well as scientifically W.
