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.

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."

five years ago.

eral of the commissioners and attorneys

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. There was nothing tn the entire
transaction . that could have suggested
graft on the part of the police and ao far

"The World-Herald manufactured 'that
Interview for Its own use. One day some
time ago I waa talking with a friend, an
insurance man, about how police and de
tectives recovered stolen property. We
were exchanging views on It and com
menting on the skill and scheming they
had to employ. In the course of the con
