Have you noticed that the World-Herald and the other Heim advocates do not say one word about

Also, that they do not even mention the mandatory direction to go into the
market and sell this franchise as soon as it is granted.

If the voters of Omaha are to give away two franchises worth half a million dol
lars why not give it to Omaha 'people? Why should you give it to Mr. Heim, the rich
Missouri Brewer?
If the so-called "independent" franchises for conduit system as well as a telephone system will
be a good thing for Mr. Heim, the millionaire Missouri Brewer, why wouldn't it be a much bet
ter thing for Omaha if this double franchises were given to Omaha men?
Local capitalists asked for these franchises, but the Council refused to gjve the voters a chance to
confer them on Omaha people. Why? Is it because Mr. Heim is already a very rich man?

Wllh regard to a published statement
that a complaint was about to be lodged
before the South Omaha Mould of Fire and
Police Commissioners against Chief Itrlggs
by George Braoeeu, the chief made an
emphatic denial that he ever called on

"What we need In this country," said
Mayor Beall In an interview to which
he submitted when he was about to throw
open to couples with children his last
block of apartment houses, "what we need
In this country Is babies. I am entirely
In accord with the president on this propo
sition, but It Is folly to expect an Increase
In the number of babies unless we shall
make some provision for tbem.'
"Many people who are against race sui

practice what we preach. I, for one, am
going to do my utmost not only to en

Throughout Monday the presence of the
frightened birds from the roaat was the

there had been such a general storm dis

doubted the storm's coming, but only spec

of warning, and early Tuesday morning
the first signs of the storm were vlstblr.
