The Board of Park Commlaaloners held
a meeting In the offices of E. R. Lelgli
last night to consider plans for the beautl-
flratlon of Spring Lake park and other
propoaltlons. Spring Ike park Is the
largest of tha c!y parks. It also has more
features aa a park than any other. Tha
trees are all grown and the abundance of
them makoa tha park ona of great natural
beauty. The conformation ef tha tract
also adds materially to tha opportunities
for parking. During the recent wet season
the boulevard through the park, has been
washed considerably and It will require
mjeh repair. This will b tha first duty
ot the board. The board has at its dis
posal $2,5i for beautifying the public parks
and though the amount is email the boar
hopes to spend tha amount Judiciously
enough to ot least put the loads and boule
vards In good condition.
J. A. Hadklnson, the landscape gardener
who had been employed to draft plana of
tha complete park system, reported his
plana to the board, which went over them
In detail und will meet Saturday afternoon
at tha park with Hadklnson to get the
best Idea of his plana and specifications
by seeing tho places to b improved. A
little attention to the lake in the park will
be a great advantage. Several cement cul
verta will be proposed In tho boulevard to
take away excess water.
A committee was present from Albright
with a petition asking the board to recom
mend to the city council the purchase of a
part of the Barrett trac which lies b?
tween tho Fort Crook boulevard p.nd the
Dee tract, which Is already purchasul as
a city park. The object if the purchase
Is 1 1 make an outlet to the boulevard. The
petition asked for an cxpwndlture of about
17,000, but It Is not thought probable that
the board will recommend ao great a pur
chase. Financial Ordinances Passed.
The two principal ordinances of the year
have been duly passed and the appropria
tions for city government now stand at
1227,000 and the levy reaches 8.8 mills. Tha
last ordinance, the levy, waa passed at a
special meeting of the council held last
night. This levy, on a valuation of $23. KW,
000, will produce about $198,000. The collec
tions will amount to about $25,000 more In
the year. Although tha city has the au
thority to expend $227,000, it Is not oblig
atory that It should. The mayor asserts
that he will keep the expenditures below
$200,000 If possible. The last city, adminis
tration expended 17,000 for charity, and
nearly every one of the applicants who re
newed their pleas under the new admin
istration were Investigated and found not
to be entitled to relief. This kind of a
loss will not hold with tha present admin
istration for the charity expenditures so
far have amounted to scarcely $100, al
though nearly three months have elapsed.
The charjty fund Is fixed by the chsrter
at $700. Not only In this particular, but In
other department, expenses, It Is asserted,
will be kept to the minimum. The hope of
the administration Is expressed that a sub
stantial balance may be left next year so
the levy may be aafely reduced.
Early Closing; Movement.
The South Omaha Retail Merchants' as
sociation passed a resolution recently for

If the men who work on the railroad sec
tions ot the Northwestern line do not Join
the Nebraska Railroad Employes' associa
tion. It will not be tha fault nor negligence
of J. W. Johnson "section 0. 6." Arlington.
While the democratic hosts were meeting
In Denver to nominate a president; while
plans were being made to take campaign
toura In carriages, automobiles and special
trains, Johnson waa making one of the
mnet unique toura ever made for any poll
thai cause And Mr. Johnson was travel
ing In the Interests of a political causa
when ha made his trip. It was from South
Omaha to Lincoln on the Northwestern
line, and tho audiences which Mr. Johnson
addressed comprised' from four to eight sec
tion hands each. He did not speak In halls
nor have reception committees wear him
out by Jostling him l.i crowds, but he
pumped his "special car" up to where the
section men were working, pulled It off
on the right of way, took a drink ot water
with the section men, wiped the perspira
tion from his brow with the same kind of
red handkerchief which tho men were
using, and "made Ids talk."
As the result of tha trip of Mr. Johnson,
Chairman F. M. Ryan of tha executive
committee believes tha section hands are
effectively "lined up."
Like Flock of Blackbirds.
Rr-turnlng to Arlington, Mr. Johnson
arrived Juat in time to aeo the democrats
returning from Denver and ha wrote a
sort of report to the executive committee
of the Nebraska Railroad Employes' Pro
tective association, which now has head
quarters at the Hotel Rome:
"I passed several trains of delegates for
the Denver contention," writes Mr. John
son. "A gay looking crowd they were,
with their streaming badges, for all tha
world like a flock of blackbirda returning
In the spring, aa the birds are a aura sign
of spring, so our gay, chattering droves
of delegates are a sure sign of a coming
election.
"Of course, as the season advancea, the'e
are other signs. The citizen with political
aspirations, and every community has a
few of them. They get very friendly with
us working men, give us a glad hand, talk
patriotism, 'the oppression ot tha laboring
classes and other things too numerous to
mention.
'It la alright, however. Lawmakers and
representatives we must have end a great
many men seeking positions aro honest
and earnest In their desire to help us, but
somehow they alwaya go at It wrong. In
trying to equalize conditions they restrict
and cut down the earning power of our
Industries, claiming that they are making
too much money. Our employera retaliate
by cutting down wagea and laying off men.
and that is the aort of benaflt we working
men get from It all. We do not complain
because others are making too much.
but because we are not getting enough,
Wants Everyone to Prosper.
"Our Interests cannot oa promoted by
tearing down tha Interests of others. We
want the farmer, tha merchant, the rall
rouds and tin mine ownera everyone who
employes men to prosper. We know there
will be no employment for labor it
profit cannot be made on it, and wa
know also that there cannot be any lasting
prosperity unless labor Is well paid. It
you add 2S cents per day to the wagea of
our S.OOO.OUO laborers it means an increase
In their purchasing power of $1,250,000 per
day. Don't you think that would influ
ence the price of farm produce more than
a cut In freight rates?
"In the coming election party lines arc
going to be cut In a way they never were
before. Wa laboring men cannot afford
to divide any Ipnger and fight each other,
nor can we afford to cast our votes for
men whose avowed purpose Is to kill or
cripple the Industries that give us employ
ment. We mean to live and let live; we
mean to vote for men who will maintain
conditions In Nebraska so that every in
dustry will thrive, so that capital will
come into our state and not be driven out,
for we believe such a policy is to our in
terest, as well as to the great benefit of
our state."
Social meetings snd dance will be a
feature of the csmpalgn In the Sixth ward
If the plans now under way In the Sixth
Ward Republican club are carried out.
The first meeting of the campaign w-as
held Wednesdsy at the home of Henry

meeting was large and enthusiastic.
The wives, sisters, daughtera and sweet
hearts of the members will be asked to
Join In the social meetings to be held once

It la the purpose to hire a hall and hold
dances. Regular meetings will be held

other to suit the convenience of the mem
bers. The next meeting will be held Tues

PATRIOT. BUT JflOST PROVE IT
John IV or be ra, Cltlaen and Govern
ment Prop for Quarter Century,
Takes Oat Papers.
After helping to run the politics of the
stats and nation for a quarter of a cen
tury, and most of that time a ballff In
district court, John Norberg, the well
known Swedish political worker, haa found
It necessary to apply for naturalisation
papers to establish hla citizenship. Not
that he la still a subject of Sweden, be
cause his father took out his citizenship
papers when John was a mere lad and
that would give him all the rights of a
natural born citizen except the single one
of running for president. Ills predicament
Is caused by the fact that he ia unable to
find where his father'a papers were taken
out.
Hla father was a minister and as such
frequently changed hla place of residence.
This has made It so dfDcult to trace his
citizenship papers that Mr. Norberg de
cided the easiest way out of the difficulty
waa to apply for new papers the same aa
If he had Just come over.
In his first papers filed In the district
clerk's office Mr. Norberg avers he and
King Qustave have nothing In common
and he renounces all claims he ever had
on the Swedish monarch in exchange for
the privileges of an American citizen.
FUND FOR THE PLAYGROUND
Money Will Bo Raised Probably by
gelling Bnttona for Per
manent Place,
Methods for raising money for the pur
chase of a public playground for the chll
dren of Omaha are Invited by the city
council committee having the jlaygrounds
In charge. Tha committee also arks for
opinions from tha people aa to the best
location for a permanent playground if suf
flclent money can be raised for the pur
chase of a tract of land.
"My Idea la that it would ba a good
plan to get a few thousand buttona and
have the children aell them, and they could
dispose of many and thereby raise a good
aum," says M. F. Funkhouser, chairman
of the council committee on playgrounds
"very few would refuse to buy a playground
button and help the children to buy a per
manent location for their Juvenile city,
Other schemes have been suggested and the
committee would Ilka to receive suggestions
from all Interested.
"Another problem that confronts us I
that of location. The present groundt, at
Nineteenth atreet and Et. Mary's avenue,
are rented. It thla block could be bought
It would make an excellent permanent
home for the Juvenile city, but the price
might be too high. It Is to be hoped, of
course, that large donations would be made
to assist the children In getting a perma
nent location, but more money would come
In from private contributions, I think
The people were asked a short time ago
for $o00, but this was for maintaining th
rented quarter, of the juvenile city. The
committee la atlrred to ask tha people to
subscribe tor the purchase of a plot of
ground for a permanent location throng
the philanthropic gift of $o0,0O0 by Mra,
