Wheeler of New York and Joseph Brown, an attorney of Boston, on the question of prohibition versus licence attracted an audience of leas than thirty people last evening at the Do hany opera house. Rer. Wheeler spoke on the side of prohibition, holding that a pro hibitory law would be better for the state of Iowa than a license law. Mr. Brown spoke in favor of license. The fact that an admission fee was charged kept many from attending as It had been generally under stood that the debate was to have been held under the auspices of the local branch of the Woman's Christian Temperance union and that the public would be Invited to hear It free of charge.

CHANGES AT HIGH SCHOOL Two Classes to B Graduated Yearly After the Preseit School Tear. nsKssasBsss CUT.OFF CHILDREN WANT MORE LEARNING Treasurer's Report Shows a Balaace In Teachers', School Hons 1 the Contingent Faada. Another Innovation In the high school course was decided upon at the annual meeting of the Board of Education last night. At the suggestion and recommenda tion of Superintendent Clifford the board authorized the graduation of two classes each year, the commencement exercises to be held at the end of the Brat semester, which Is usually In the latter part of Jan uary or the beginning of February, and the other aa heretofore, In June, at the close of the school year. It was explained that by having two graduating classes pupils who ether the high school at the close of the first semester will not be obliged to either take the four years' course In three and a half years, thereby having, as a rule, to study In the summer to catch up with their lessons, or to stay four and a half years to complete the entire course In order to graduate. Under the new system the pupils who enter the high school at the end of the first semester will graduate In January or Feb ruary, as the case may be, and those who enter at the beginning of the school year In September will graduate In June, as heretofore. Superintendent Clifford stated that be be lieved the new system would be an In centive to pupils to remain In the school unjll they graduated. It is also said he believed It would Inspire the pupils to better work. At present those pupils whose four years expire at the end of the Erst semester have no .inspiration to study for the remaining second semester until they graduate, as they have completed their course of study at the end of the flrat semester. Ths new system will not affect the class which will graduate next June. bu,t In 1904 there will be a class of from twenty to thirty which will graduate at the end of the flrat semester. Cat-Off Children Wast Facilities. Another Important matter before the board was the application of children In Cut-Off, the portion of Council Bluffs on the other side of the river, to be given high school privileges. A number of pupils In that section of the city have completed ths grades and now desire the benefits of a high school education. They nave neeu dented admission to the high school In Omaha, except on payment of tuition, snd they are practically precluded from attend ing the high school In this city, owing to tho distance and roundabout way they would have to travel In order to get to Council Bluffs. No action was taken last night beyond referring the matter to Presl dent Baraent to investigate.

A movement for enlisting the boats ot workingmen through out tbe United States Into a seml-polltlcal organisation has been launched In thla city, saya the Post. A platform said to embrace the economi cal and political Ideas of labor leaders and covering the whole labor situation has been prepared and Will be presented first for ap proval next week before the Chicago Fed eration of Labor. The platform demands the abolition of the so-called political machine, the establish ment of government primaries where votes may be cast "for nominees ss citizens and not aa members of a machine," and the Initiative and referendum. It fsvors the right ot recalling representatives who are out ot touch with voters. Relief from the trusts Is suggested in the plan for "the pas sage of an amendment to the practice laws of every state and tbe federal government under which litigants may bring up. In any suit In which a corporation Is tbe plaintiff or defendant, the question of its right to Its franchise, whether it has usurped power not given It under statute and whether It baa forfeited Its powers." This method, it Is urged, would be productive of more goo than the institu tion of suits by reaerai district attorneys. Vigilance committees in every rtate snd large city are favored to see that the laws are Impartially administered. The eight hour day, sanitary conditions, living wages. the repeal of tbe laws limiting the liabili ties In personal injury suits, the supplying of free text books to all cbldren In the lower grades of public schools and the abolition of convict labor In competition with free men are demanded. Limitation on the injunction powers of Judges is asked and the popular election of federal Judges and senators Is suggested. In all civil trials majority verdicts are de sired. The plan favors the government In stead of banks Issuing all kinds ot money and it la auggested that private lndlvduala be driven from banking business. Laws are demanded restricting 'the Issue ot capital etock, bonds and securities to any greater extent than the actual property owned by corporations. Public ownership of public utilities Is desired and stste In surance, and provisions for old age are ap proved. Child labor Is decried and educa tional aids and trade unionism to keep up wagea are approved. In closing the plat form reads: In order to bring about a state of har mony Instead of constant discord, the worklngman must look for relief at the ballot box. Here, where the wilt of the people Is supreme, the .remedy lies at hand and must be taken advantage of. Work ingmen must undertake to govern, aa well aa toll, and in that way they will get Justice.
