WOMAN III CLUB AKD CHARITY The monthly business meeting of the local Woman's Christian Temperanoe union held Wednesday afternoon In the Toting Woman's Christian association rooms was long and spirited, but a great deal of busi ness was transacted. Mrs. E. 1. Wood was elected delegate to the state convention to be h,eld at Grand Island this month, Mrs. Adelaide Rood, the local president, tq be th other representative of th local union. A lively discussion was precipitated by a motion that the union pay the expenses of department superintendents to state and county conventions. As ths number of superintendents Is something In excess of a doten, the Inexpediency of the plan was evident, although some of the members contended that as the superintendents do the work, they should be sent to the con ventions. Others held that It was the privilege of the union to elect as Its dele gates whom it liked and the business ef the rest of the members to accept the de cision of the majority. The plan did not carry. A decided veto was put upon the constsnt drain upon the' onion's treasury by state workers, local members snd others who, because the union has a regular Income from the High- school lunch, have not been altogether considerate In their demands, by refusing to pay the expenses of a South Omaha contestant In the grand gold medal contest that will be a part of the program of the state meeting. The rules of the con test provide that not less then six shall compete for the medal. In order that the full number might he secured, the stste superintendent of contest work requested the Douglas county superintendent to sup ply threa of these. The local union agreed to pay the expenses of one, the contestant to be-selected by the county superintendent, who Is a member of the local union. Upon request of a member of the South Omaha union, the superintendent appointed a South Omaha boy, but when she reported the fact to the local union the members re fused to sustain the appointment on ths ground that the South Omaha union, being much the larger organisation, could afford to take care of Its own and that the Omaha organization could not be expected to pay the expenses of out of town contestants at the expense of leaving Its own work with out representation. During; the discussion It was suggested that too much was ex pected of the local union In the way of financial aid. While It Is perhaps better off financially than any other union In the state, the members feel that ths local de mands are greater here than any place else and that as their funds come from Omaha they should be devoted to local de mands, at least In fair proportion. Fifteen dollars a month was voted for the maintenance of th temperance and In dustrial classes at Tenth Street Mission, the term extending from September te May. Miss Magee reP01" the opening of the temperance class with an attendance that will necessitate the separation of the children Into three classes. Nearly half of the children In the mission this year are new children. Tpe sewing classes have gn attendance of fifty but Miss Magee has an able corps of assistants who have volun teered from some of the churches. How ever, It will be necessary to restrict or limit the attendance at the Industrial classes as there is not sufficient support guaranteed to carry on the work" for all. Miss Magee expressed the request that the mission children be organized In a Loyal Temperance Legion and asked the co- operation pf ths union. Naturally clubwomen expect much from Denver, the horns of the national president and the metropolis of a state where women have equal lights. With, men, but the In genuity of the Denver club woman seems tq be of a particularly high order and the fearlessness with which she launches an Innovation is a Joy to the progressive even though It does some times take the breath of the more conservative.

' CRAWFORD DRAWS A BIG CROWD i Warns People to Be am Geerd Acainst Corporation Scheme, HURON. 8. D-. Sept. 4.-(Bpeclal.) Hon. Coe I. Crawford gddressed a larga crowd In th opera house here thl afternoon. Th address had been promised for som week, and many attendant at th stai fair remained over ia har t. Th ad dress wag carefully prepared Snd delivered with Mr. Crawford's acoustomed eloquence and earnestness. Mr. Crawford said: The vital question confronting us Is whether or not the average man has an opportunity to be heard fn ths selsction of public officers who are supposed to rep resent him. po they represent lilin In truth rnd fact, or do they represent Interests list are opposed to his?

OMAHA, Sept. 14.-To th Editor of Th Bee: 1 note that Congressman Kennedy In his Sixth ward speech Is reported to hav said that there never was a greater abun dance of good material for candidates thsqJ there I this vstr, snd that If tha people did not go to the primaries and select th best men they would have themselves to blame. This is the sentiment of all good clt liens. Among all the Important offices tt b fllied this fall ptrhaps none Is mar tm- rirtant than that of county commissioner. ndr the new Isw thrse commissioners not only vote to levy snd expend something like f2.0U,om during their term of office, but also pass upon th equalisation of ait prop erty In th city on which the city and school taxf are to be collected. Douglas county alone Is valued at something like llfAOno.Oiio-about one-seventh of the entire value of the state. Is It not Strang that ' th people ef Douglas county, who are the stockholders of the county, should be Indifferent ss to Who shall b th commissioners, Whq kf practically the directors or The corporation, to conduct It business? Any stockholder In any corporation of similar magnitude would feel it his duty to see that hood men were selected as the directors. Why should, not every citizen feel the same ob llgstion In reference to the selection of commissioners. The primary law is ni tended not only tq allow the people to vote for rsndldates, but also to select th ran dldatts by direct vote. Among the candidates that are mentioned I wish to speak a word for Mr. W. Q. Ure, who has consented to run for commjssioner. I know him very intimately and hav been associated with him for Several years In seeking to bring about the equalisation of taxes In Omaha, Douglas county snd the stste. Mr. Ure hss been the secretary of the committee of th Real Estnte exchange, and ss such he has been the foremost man In the work of tax reform. It was he who, with pthers. went to Lincoln snd by a re duction of the state levy on Douglas county saved the county 7B.ono In one year, ft also was the main support of Mr. Mcintosh, who made a Aght before the legislature for the taxation of the Omaha terminals. He Is well Informed not only on questions of taxation, but also upon the finances of the county, having given special attention to this when It was proposed tq bond th county a large sum of money to pay the county's Indebtedness snd current expenses. He was opposed tq tt)ee bonds and It wns through his efforts that they were defeated,. While he is anti-corporation, beis a con servative man and would not vote to Injure any property! but would Insist that all be treated alike. Mr. Ure will have a strong endorsement If the people understand who he Is snd what he stands for. ' C. F. HARRI80N. Call for Clarendon. OMAHA, Sept. 14. To the Editor of Ths Bee: Through chance, want of opposition and shrewd political manipulation the pres ent county superintendent of schools has contrived to retain his position fbr Ave cpn secutive terms. Although so long a period In office Is not only unrepubllean, but un amsrican, he I still greedy for more. For tunately there Is another In the field, A. E.

IGNORANCE OF CITY CHARTER Proposition Argued by A I torn T Bai at gait Against tba City. Attorney Charles E. Clapp, In an ap pealed damage case In district court, George W, Forbes against the elty, has raised the legal question that on May $1. 1906, there was no nsw city shsrtar in existence In the city of Omaha. Mr. CInpp sets up that g copy of ths new law did not reach tho office of City Comptroller Lobeck until August and that the Session Laws of 1906 wers not published until gome time later. Consequently, he says, his client waa unable to ascertain the pro visions of tha new charter and was com pelled to follow the law as It had existed for many years and filed an appeal bond with City Comptroller Lobeck In due ac cordance with th law ag t stood at the time. It Is further set up that If a motion te dismiss filed by the city sttorney should be sustained It would deprive plaintiff pf his right to hav the action decided on its merltf.
