Ladies' Shoes
One couldn't expect much
of a lady 's shoe at $2.45,
until the advent of our
"BASEMENT."
But.it'a DIFFERENT
now. We can, we DO, sell
VERY good shoes for as
little even as $1.95 now
in that "BASEMENT."
tt - ,
From YOUR standpoint
that basement is a REGU
LAR storeroom from
ours it is not, for we don't
have to pay extra rent.for
it, and THAT accounts for
' the pruning process on all
the prices quoted there.
The same floor space
the same shelf room, in an
upstairs location, would
cost a considerable rent,
and a considerable rent
wouldn't permit one to sell
EXPERTLY made, stand:
ard styled shoes, at $1.95
and $2.45 a pair.
You know the size of
your purse we know the
sort of shoe we can offer at
$1.95 and $2.45, and WE
are confident. Are you? If
not, five. minutes in that
basement , would clear up
matters for you.

Signs of the usual battle royal between
the South Omaha democrats for honors In
the mayoralty fight became more evident
yesterday when Dr. Thomas H. Ensor
again threw his gauntlet In the ling and
announced himself a candidate by filing.
This makes three of a probable list of
five. Jerry Howard leads the van, posing
as the true and only labor candidate. W.

date and points to his record In the coun
cil and as tax commissioner. Thomas H.

To complete the five Thomas Hoc tor will

The supreme court handed down a de
clslon yesterday in the case of Wlese
against South Omaha, being tried on ap
peal, In which the decision of the district
court was affirmed, which was a finding
against the city. The case was a suit to
set aside an assessment of special taxes to
pay the cost of grading in a district at
Twenty-seventh and J streets, and the point
In contention was whether the city of South
Orraha In passing the grading ordinance
had absolutely defined the limits of the
grading district or not. With this affirma
tion the cost of the grading done will have
to be paid by the city at large.

Socialist Leader
Predicts Victory
Eugene V. Debs, in Address at Wash
ington Hall, Says He Feels Sure
of Ultimate Kesult
Eugene V. Debs, perennial presidential
candidate on the socialist ticket, spoke
last evening at Washington hall . at a
meeting, arranged under the auspices of
the socialists of Omaha, as a protest
agalnBt the conviction of Fred W. War
ren, editor of the Appeal to Reason.
"Feudalism was evolved for a purpose
and lived until it had fulfilled its historic
mission and then the present capitalist
class was evolved," said Mr. Debs. "Their
work is now over and socialism will come
as sure as the sun rises on the morrow.
If It Is brought about by ' violence and
bloodshed It will be In spite of the so
cialist party and not because of It. '
"Any system In which a single human
being Is denied an opportunity to earn a
living is a despotism as far as that in
dividual Is concerned. No people is great
unless master of the things which' control
means of making a living and such Is
not now the case In this country.
"There are now in this country 22,000,000
people who earn their livelihood by labor,
and of these 5,000,000 are women and 2,000,-
000 are children. These may only work on
condition they sell their labor to the capi
talists who own the means. If there is a
man in this country not properly fed and
clothed It Is no fault of God Almighty, but
is due to the outgrowth ot the system
under which we live. There' will be no
brotherhood of man as long as you arid
I have to fight for our existence.
"The great majority always blocks
progress because It Is always wrong. His
tory proves that In all great movements
and revolutions which have resulted In
good for mankind, it has been the minority
which was right. The ruling class has
always kept the masses In darkness."

John A. Kuhn unwittingly turned a sur

who had planned a surprise on him.
Wednesday was his birthday and Mrs.
Kuhn Invited quite a. number of friends In
to spend the evening without telling Mr.
Kuhn.
Some of the members of the Omaha Grain
exchange had read In the birthday record
of The Bee that it waa Mr. Kuhn's birth
day, so they also planned a little birthday
party at the Omaha club. There Mr. Kuhn
went. He failed to notify his home of his
whereabouts, so the surprise was on the
gathered guests rather than on Mr. Kuhn.
