Homo Role. , OMAHA. Feb. 4.-To the Editor of The Bee: If the legislature wants to giro Omaha and South Omaha and all the other cllles in the state home rule it can do j 'so by submitting; the constitutional amend- j ment Introduced In the last session of the legislature and favorably recommended by j the committee of the whole house. The title of the bill Is House Roll A bill for a joint resolution to amend ar ticle ID of the constitution of the state of Nebraska. It provides that all cities of B.rmo Inhabitants shall have the power to make their own charters by electing twenty-one freeholders whose duty It will be to make a charter and submit It to the voters of the city for their approval or rejection. Amendments may be submitted at any time r-n petition of 10 per cent of the voters. If this bill had passed two years ago tacnty-one citlxcns of Omaha would now be making a charter for Omaha, right tinrier the evea nf the tannin anA Km farmers of Nebraska would be saved thj . Ircable of deciding between the warring Tactions of Omaha's democracy. This bill failed to pass becsuso It n Introduced tod late In the session, the isth of February. If any cf our repre sentatives are In favor of home rule they have plenty of time to put such a hill through this session. If charter t'nker Ing was removed from the legislature it would save about one-fourth of Its time and expense. MICHAEL. LEE. Likes the Sermons. ThKAMAH, Neb.. Feb. 3,-To the Editor of The Bee: I was glad to see a sympo sium of Dr. Lovelt.nd's first sermon In the Interesting series of sermons he Is to give us. Now th,pse sermons are for the whole country and not for Omaha alone. II. I. fc.nrilln.- . .hot I. . ...... - Importance to the entire country. It Is a question hat Interests more people than tven politics and I think the people are entitled to It through such avenues of In- ' structlon and reform as The Bee affords. ' He preaches only to hundreds on Sunday. I ne uauy papers preaca 10 inouunai a&lly, hence their opportunity and responsibility ' to carry out reform which comes from ' right thinking and preaching. . There Is no power on earth to compare ' with the dally press for good or evil. Our (allies all wrong, could In one year almost ruin all the prospects and hopes of this or my other nation. ( I think you ought to give us these ser mons of Dr. Loveland's In full each Mon Jay morning. They will be honest and sin cere and the fruit of long and anxious study from-a heart that Is filled to over flowing: with lovs for Christ and humanity, H. N. WHEELER. Side of tba Strikers. OMAHA. Feb. .-To the Editor of The Bee: In reply to the letter I see pub lished by J. Engleman, president of the Novelty Bklrt company, regarding the lltuatlon In the garment workers' strike, I would like to say through the aame me dium that he has made several statements which are wholly lnccrrect. In Justice to ur side of the difficulty, I feel that some thing should be Mid In refutation of those statements. Mr. Engleman says that he was paying tome men M a week, with assurance of Keristered O. a. fa. udk Our Letter Box sir "Goodyear Raincoats Reign Supreme" BIG SALE At 33sC on the Dollar The storm did Its work and yon Ret the benefit of It In the way of having the opportunity of a lifetime to buy good and ser vireable storm-proof and rain-proof overcoats and raincoats at unheard-of prices. This store suffered severely on account of the storni win dons broken and garments damaged damaged in appearance only, but not in the wearing qualities. The wearing quality Is there, only the newness Is gone hence this tremendous reduction on all coats so damaged, and haTe placed these On Sale at 33c on the Dollar Silk Coats for Women 920 Coats, now 925 Coats, now 928 Goats, now 930 Coats, now 935 Coats, now 940 Coats, now ....... 16th an all-around year's work. This Is not true. Two men from Chicago got $28 a week, but their season was only six months In the year, and the rest of the time they lind to be Idle. I was the only man who got 20 a, week, the rest being far below. He ssys thnt the girls got from $10 to 12 a week. This, a!o, Is Incorrect, for they got from $3.50 a week to $10. That the cheapest paid employe got IS a week Is absolutely untrue, as we can prove. He speaks of our "unreasonable demands" which caused the strike. These are the demands, for which we still hold out: First Recognition of the union. Becond Reinstatement of all locked out. Third Nine-hour day Instead of nine hours and a hnlf. Fourth Weekly salaries, Instead of every two weeks. We Wish to let the public Judge , whether or not this Is ruinous to business, as Mr. Engleman states In his letter to the press. There Is not one official of the union who gets a cent In remuneration for his work. Our bocks are always open for Inspection. ISADORE GORDON, Chairman of the Press Committee. International Ladles' Garment Workers' Vnlon, Local 69, Omaha. Long Sheets at Home. OMAHA, Feb. 4. To the Editor of The Bee: I see there Is a disposition on the part of some people to make fun of the bed sheet law. I say, all honor to the father of that bill. I have used sheets nine feet long for years and find them In dispensable for the guest room and neces sary to the every-nlght use of the family, and I am sure they must be much more so for boarding houses and hotels. Let's take a step forward when we can. M. CHANCE YET FOR WHITE BREAD i Inventor Has Device to Take the Dirt Oat of Creases In , Wheat. If Joseph Cams of Kansas City succeeds In demonstrating that he has a machine which wilt take the dirt out of the creases In winter wheat, there Is hope that Amer icans may still eat white bread despite the rules and by-laws of James Wilson, secre tary of Agriculture. , Cams is an Inventor and showed a model of a "crease dirt" washer to Omaha grain men Friday, which he says will enable millers to make white flour, as much of the discoloration is due to the dirt and dust which accumulates on winter wheat and stays with It even after "It gets Into the rollers. The inventor backs up his statement by referring to the fact that a similar ma chine is already on the market, one which cracks from 90 to 95 per cent of the wheat and thus removes the crease dirt before It enters the rolls. But he says his machine will defeat the bleaching orders, enable millers to produce a high quality of bread flour, a larger percentage and better qual ity of middlings and a closer clean up. The machine Is said to be a high-class buckwheat shucker and will do oats good If they are run through It before milled. Mr. Cams will exhibit the machine at other grain markets and expects to be mak ing them within a short time, probably In Omaha or- Kansas City.

In twelve of the United States snd the District of Columbia a mother has equal guardianship of her children with their father. This is one of the Injustices against which women have contended for years and regarding which the womens' clubs have been energetically educating since the Boston biennial. The clubs of California have just succeeded In securing the passage of the following joint guardi anship bill by their state legislature: The father and mother of a legitimate, unmarried minor child are Jointly entitled to its custody, service and earnings; but neither the father nor mother can transfer such custody, services or earnings to any person, save to the other parent, without the written consent of such-other parent, unless such parent be guilty ot desertion or Is living apart by agreement. If either parent be dead, or he unable, or refuse to take the custody, or hss abandoned the family, the other parent Is entitled thereto. The chairman" of the humane education committee of the federation which led the SLgltatlon for the passage of the bill, stated California's necessity as follows: According to the law of California at present, a minor child has but one parent, the father. To acquire a mother there must he an appeal to the -courts, and a decision that it lias a mother.

" Several extremely good looking tailored models seen here and there among the Importing establishments have been in diagonal aerge of a rose or berry shad upon whose name no two authorities seem to agree. Tne tone Is moderately light, but very subdued, with none of the aggressive, trying blueness of a berry lint and without the vividness of rose. Take a soft French rose, substitute for the touch of blue in It smoky hrowiiixli gray and you may have some Idea of tho quiet lovely shade In question. A severely tailored coat and skirt of this, buttoning straight down the front snd with no trim ming save self-color satin buttons and col lar finish, had a hint of spring about it without being flamboyant; and. by the way, a loose, stralghtllne. conventional coat of this type Is the safest choice for this time of the year. It may not be the latest cry when May comes, but It Is certain not to be unfashionable a thing that cannot bo said for many of the more original winter models. This same dull rose Is used for attractive little linen frocks, and some new dark purplish violet and berry tones are well represented among the new linens and the early linen models. Returning for a moment to the tuasors. Many robe and coat models In this material are being carried to the south. The robe Is as a rule of a modified Jumper character so decidedly modified, however, that It may drop the name.
