Three years agi when lntne. Charles Dahlman became mayor of Omaha for the first time, Wlllam Jennings Hryen was rn the other aide of the world. In the far-dls- tsnt orient and yet. over the hounding. I boundless billows, or properly speaking under them, across t wo hemispheres, this j Joyous message lashed like a rapier of I lightning from tim Peerless t-euler to the j Cowboy Mayor: "All Asia rejoices with vol In your elec tion." .' ' Todav Mr. Bryan is at Winnipeg, sup posedly, and yet not a word or congratu lation has he sent to his. old college chum and co-patriot, . Governor Shallenberger has sent his meed of praise and other men who love. Dahlman as well as a dog does a hickory have done so, hut not a 'word from Jona than Bryan t.j David Dahlman. ' Has Damon forgot Pythias? Or doe not the Dominion of Canada find In the re election of Mavor Jim the same exquisite Joy that all Ala found? There is an Inkling that Mr. Bryan and Mayor Jim are not as crony aa they once were. They didn't Jibe during the recent legislature on matters of state. Not since Mr. Bryan found It convenient to drive that 8 o'clock closing bill through the leg islature has their Intimacy been as thick, o they say.

Brogan nespoke a more beautiful Omaha at the Wednesday noon meeting of the Omaha Real Eatatn exchange. The speaker, whose theme was 'The Commercial Value of the Beautiful." pointed out that in (hooping a city for a home more and more people are being influenced now adays by aesthetic considerations; that while the' great majority would continue In be governed1 on exclusively practical grounds, men such as district managers of departments, had a choice at hand, and so also people retired from active life.

White Hats for Trade Excursion Polite Society Lids Will Cover Heads Of the Trade Excursionists to Iowa. While cowboy hats won't go in low a. I lie trade excursionists who leave May 17, for a week's trip through the western part of the stale, will wear white hats. The hats will be snow while, sort of po lite society effect, turned down a little In front, just such fine white felt crushers as are worn on outings or on the sereet. They will have red bands, ' distinguishing Omahans from Iowans In every town where the excursion stops. This Ides, according to Clarke Colt, serves a two or three fold purpose. There will be so many white hats that there will be nu mistaking the fact that Omaha takes a crown on a trade excursion; then they will show up well In the moving pictures, and last but not least, prevent misconduct on the part of members of the party, as one with a white hat would think of act ing up with kodaks and moving picture machines In action. The party will also have badges which will be worn by each member, giving names of firms and individuals. The siren whistle has been brought home for the trip. The whistle Is In such demand It is hard to get It home when it is needed in OmaJia. Th old tooter did not get un packed until the Commercial club of Clar lnda, la., wanted to borrow It to use on a trip to Red Oak, where a Clarlnda theat rical company is to give a show. JUDGE CRAWFORD THINKS POLICE SHOULD BE BIGGER He Is Moved lo This Conclusion by Sid Morgan. fOxperlencr with a Drank. "We ought to have bigger policemen, or else give the email ones big stars." re marked Police Judge Crawford In court Wednesday morning. He was hearing the case of Bert Brown. X22 Ohio street, who engaged In a wrest ling match with Emergency Officer Ed Morgan and came out ingloriously "licked" Saturday afternoon, when Morgan at tempted to arrest him on the charge of being drunk and disorderly. It evidently was the judge's idea that drunken men would not attempt to resist big policemen. Morgan is a lightweight, but he Is the best wrestler In these parts for his weight and l as "shown things'" to many a recalcitrant drunk who didn't want to jro to jail. When he finished teaching Brown liow to be good Saturday, the latter had little claim eitrei to being handsome or entitled to special privileges. Brown was discharged In court Wednes day, after spending some time in Jail and then being released on bond. The judge did not attempt to punish him further, al though testimony was offered to show th.it he had been drunk and disorderly. 1' Police Waive More Pay Right All but Six Sign Waivers and Those Six Have Not Been Ap proached.
