highest importance that the new board
be men of intelligence , experience and
integrity. The past record of
each and erery candidate for
Ivotion to inch a posi
tion ih.'uld be carefully axsmiued
by our voters. Tfe smallness of the

needs of the city , but also to a great
degree , they should be abreut of the
educational progress of the present
day in other states and countries , and
POSBBIB sufficient intelligence to
adapt their knowledge to the vants
of our own school system.
The new board will be called on to
erect several new school buildings to
modify to some extent the present
course of study , to investigate the
ffi ! ncy of our school system in its
practical workings , to undo much ol
the work of their predecessors , anc
to carry forward what "has already

that the Second ward will require a

WOMAN SUFFRAGE AND PROHI
BITION.
.Mr. Fred. Hedde , of Grand Island ,
&n intelligent , educated German-
American , who has resided in this
state nearly a quarter of a centur/ ,
has addressed & note to THE BEE , re
questing its editor to join hands with
the Sons of Liberty , of which order he
is president , in opposing "Woman Snf
frage and Prohibitory Legislation.
Our views on these questions are
well known. They wore most
emphatically expressed as far back as
1871 , when the constitutional conven
tion sought to engraft woman suffrage
and absolute prohibition upon our
constitution. Our views have not
changed sines then. When the
time comes for the voters
of Nebraska to decide
whether the _ _ proposed amendment ,
granting the elective franchise to
women shall be adopted AS our fun
damental law , this paper will take a
most decided stand against woman
sufirage. Until then , we do not pro
pose to watte ourammunition. We
confidently predict , however , that
when the objectionable features
of this proposed new de
parture are thoroughly ventilated ,
more than ninety per cent , of our
voters will oppose the adoption of the
woman suffrage amendment. Had
the legislature voted .io submit the
iron-clad prohibition amendment ,
making iLcrlminal to manufacture or
sell malt or alcoholic beverages , we
should have vigorously opposed its
adoption. That question is , however ,
not before the people of Nebraska ,
and probably will not be for years to
come. The Kansas experiment which
is already meeting with Insurmounta
ble obstacles and causing many Indus
trious citizens to emigrate , will hardly
> e propoeed again in Nebraska when
iho effect of it's operations becomes
manifest.
The subject -which agitates Mr. Hed
de and his associates just uovr is the
encroachment unonperaonal liberty ai
embodied in the no treat law and the
creation of monopolies in the liquor
raffic by the high license law. It
s hardly necessary , , to pay that
.he no-treat law , EO sweeping in its
character , will .prove' a dead letter ,
ust as the laws against swearing and
other blue laws , are never enforced.
.t is another matter with'the high If-
cense law. The thousand dollar li
cense has been in force in Lancaster ,
fork and several other counties in
this state for some time. The re
strictions of the new law are very se
vere , and will work hardship and in-
ustlce 'to men of small means , who
cannot secure bonds , or cannot com
mand one thousand dollars in ready
cash. "In almost every town in the
state the men affected , by this new law
are agitating resistance to it's execu
tion. How far this resistance can be
legitimately carried is a serious ques
tion. The 'men who deal .in liquor
lave a right to test -the legality of the
new lawa in the courts. They may
legitimately make efforts to secure
their repeal , bet they must remember
that the great mass of the people of
Nebraska will not countenance law
lessness.
The danger is that respectable and
disinterested business men like Air.
Hedde , who oppose sumptuary
laws from principle , will be asked to
join in a lawless effort to nullify laws
by men who have created prejudice
againtt the liquor traffic by keep
ing disorderly houses where
vice ant3 crime are bred.
In Omaha , for instance , the keep
ers of doggeries and dens of the low
est class ere attempting to control the
course of a more respectable class of
dealers. And the fact that the liquor
dealers arc disposed to spend a good
deal of money to prevent Jhe enforce
ment of the high license law has
drawn out a lot of ( shysters , sharks
and gutter snipes who are trying to
incite them Into acts that are sure to
array against them all the elements of
society that are not interested in the
liquor traffic. The friends of personal
liberty and opponents of fanatical
laws csnnot afford to countenance vile
dens of iniquity where the youth of
this city ia drawn into the company of
pick pockets , burglars and low prostl
tntes.
tntes.No
No reputable citizen can jiounte-
nance the attempt of that class of
outlaws to dictate who shall adminis
ter our municipal government and
who ahall supervise our public schools.
Whenever the issue is made be
tween law-abiding , respeetable citi
zens and drunken loafers and gin-mill
bummers this piper will aide with the
law and order party , even at the risk
of losing the patronage of the brew *
