While he answered the charge made by Governor Smith from the same platform a week be fore that the Republican party had failed to do anything for the relief of the farmers, save to feed them with promises which were still unfulfilled, the senator’s speech was entirely free from offensive personali ties. He presented an array of facts from reports on the oper ation of the tariff which radi cally reduced the importation of farm products which un questionably benefit the Ameri can farmer. He defended the protective tariff which he claims is the real issue of this campaign and not subsidiary issues which have been inject ed. He punctured the demo cratic nominee’s States Rights’ proposal of leaving the control of the liquor question to the po lice power of the respective states by calling attention to the fact that 46 of the 48 states placed the power to con trol the manufacture, sale and transportation of liquors in the hands of the federal govern ment, which authority can only be changed by an amendment to the constitution. The speech was one of sound argument, appealing rather to the head than to what an old fellow rather aptly called the “risibili ties.” SNOWED UNDER The voters of Omaha turned down the bond issue for Nat ural Gas in Tuesday’s special election by an unprecedented majority. The result was about 5 to 1 against the measure. Fortunately, a good number voted, which makes the answer vociferously loud. About 40, 000 went to the polls and ex-! pressed their will. We are gratified to know that our peo ple considered the measure of sufficient importance to them to vote. This is as it should be. Personally we regret that the proposal was defeated. We believed, and still believe, that the securing of Natural Gas would have been a great ad vantage to Omaha. The ma jority of the people see it dif ferently and have registered their choice. So be it. A SHAMEFUL SITUAT1 We have several students taking normal courses at the University of Omaha. The cur riculum requires that such stu dents be given opportunity to have practice work two days a week for a given length of time. White girls taking this course are permitted to have this practice work in the pub lic schools of Omaha. Colored girls are denied this opportun ity. And yet we pay taxes to support these schools. The University authorities say they are helpless in the matter be cause the "Board of Educa tion” will not permit it. How about this, ladies and gentle men of the Board of Educa tion? Don’t you think this is a damnable state of affairs? Do you stand for this policy? Do you want to know the names of some of the students who have been denied this privilege? Here they are: Miss Grace Dorsey, whose fath er, S. H. Dorsey, has been a substantial citizen and taxpay er here for forty years; Miss Ruth Jones, daughter of Alfred Jones, the well known caterer; Miss Thelma Norris; Miss Ce celia Stark ; Miss Virginia Jack son, daughter of Tony Jack son, well known to the business public; Miss Elaine Smith, the daughter of J. F. Smith, and Miss Consuelo Cross. St. Benedict’s Roman Catho lic parochial school has given opportunity to three of these girls for practice work, other wise they could not have got ten it, and yet it is supposed that we are living in a broad minded Christian community, with a sincere Christian man as superintendent of schools, and earnest Christian men and wo men as members of the Board [of Education! When will the shame of such a situation as this be banished from our city? MERROW & MURPHY, Attorneys 418 Peters Trust Building LEGAL NOTICE To George P.
