Status of Worklnarman. SOUTH OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 1.-T0 the Editor of The Bee: It is a conundrum to the worklngmen of thla city to know whether we are cltlzena defacto or dejure on account of a Joker gotten into the city charter by our local Rockefellers. Lest It ahould be forgotten, I desire to make a comparison: Some years ago a certain society proscribed against a large number of our fellow cltlxens to take any part In polltlca on account of their religion. Broad-minded editors and orators through out thla republic of oura denounced the nefarious organization on account of Its un-American tendenclea. But, like the hor rid head of the serpent. It haa cropped out again, thla time In another form, forbid ding all men voting except on a property qualification. The A. P. A.a were paragons of honor In comparison to theae grafting poll tlclana who want office by placing the dollar above manhood, the reverse of which has always been the boast of this republic. Acting upon a resolution unani mously adopted at last Labor day celebra tion, calling upon" the laborlngmen to or ganise and educate themselves to take an active part In polltlca for the purpose or doing away with political grafters. Therefore, we shall be better organized for next fall's campaign to act intelli gently, likewise we will demand benevo lent assimilation by the next legislature. There la another Important matter that deserves consideration. It is the Indus trial one that Is bothering the working- man at present, perhaps the Leprachauna that opposed annexation, thereby prevent ing several Industries from starting here, where the railroad facilities In this lo cality are so desirable for manufacturing purposes, would explain why so many men are out of employment In thla city. The graftera and contractors, etc., etc.. had an object In view In inviting men from all the parte 0f Europe. Asia and elsewhere, to come to South Omaha. Worklngmen, you have a practical lesson on the results. I would suggest that you organise a Coxy army and call upon the so-called president of the so-called Com mercial club, the Business Men'a asso ciation, the city administration, the park board, ' the police board and the reverend gentlemen who opposed annexation, for employment or an explanation.

Button and others against, the drainage district of Dodge county, in which the newly enacted drain age district law was attacked, has been appealed) to the supreme court. The law waa upheld In the Dodge county court Iowa for Roosevelt. Judge Deemer of the supreme court of Iowa la In Lincoln the gueat of hla brother Robert Det-mer of the firm of Magee & Deemer. "While I am not in polltlca," said Judge Deemer, "my opinion la that if President Roosevelt would consent to accept another nomination Iowa would send a delegation Instructed for him to the national con ventlon. I believe the sentiment there Is very strongly for him. Iowa republicans, having so few democrats to fight, will have a warm fight among themselves over the nomination of a United States senator. This year for the first time we will vote for the senator at a primary. Governor Cummin expects to make a hard cam' palgn for the place, as will Senator Alll son and hla friends. What the result will be no man seems to know. The forces are already lining up for the fray, though the primary Is not until some time in June or July."

OBJECTS TO BEING MADE A TOOL Renndtntea In Toto Mannfactnred Interview Which the Aggrieved Newspaper Pnta Into His Month for Ita Uae. Alfred Cornish, dealer In harness and leather goods at 1210 Farnam street, and one of the best known business men in Omaha, objects to being made a tool by the World-Herald In its personal campaign against Chief of Police Donahue. In that paper of Sunday Mr. Cornish la made to say that "the police stand In with crooks and offer protection to criminals," and a lot other auch things. The paper goes on to tell about an alligator handbag which' was stolen from Mr. Cornish last summer and of how Mr. Cornish paid 32.G5 to tho officer who recovered it for him. Mr. Cornish came to the office of The Bee and said he would like to make this state ment: "The World-Herald misstates facts and does me (Treat injustice, as well as the police and the chief. In the first place I never talked to or waa Interviewed by a reporter or representative of the World Herald on this subject In my life, so the fact Is to the World-Herald I never said anything. And to no person did I ever say I thought or knew the police stood In with the crooks. That Is positively false In every particular and no man can hon estly say I ever uttered such a state ment ;X don't believe It In the first place and in the next place if I did believe it' I would have sense enough not to publish It. I am a business man, have been doing business In this city for years and when such inflammatory utterances are at tributed to me they do me great Injustice and Injury. Facts ia This Case. "I did have a handbag stolen last sum mer and when the officer who recovered it for me brought it in my store he said there Was an express charge of 65 cents on It I paid this and gave him 32 for him self, gave It entirely of my own volition as a slight token for getting the bag back. It is so silly to think the mere pittance of 32 cut any figure whatever In the of ficer's work. As a matter of fact my hand bag waa in my possession and If I had not seen fit I could have omitted giving the officer anything. He didn't expect any thing.
