f The Omaha Ad club added fun and frolic.
1 gayely and mirth, hilarity and Joyousness In
I otie rand total addition Monday night. It
wax the second annual beefsteak dinner
and Vaudeville show of the ad. writers and
their friendn, Vho gathered at the Home
hotel 2M strong to have a taste of good
fellowship.
It. la the motto- of the ad men to "do
things." One of the principal features of
the entertainment was to poke fun at the
other fellow" and this -was done in that
playful. Joking rhannnr'that leaves nothing
'but pleasant memories.
From the time the merrymakers sat down
to the tables at 6:30 o'clock until late at
;nlght,' when the curtain went down on the
Iat act, there was a continual vaudeville
I (performance, with specialties between every
I laugh. In fact It was an evening of hearty,
I .bubbling mirth and good cheer a western
i (gridiron dinner.
J All the stellar lights of the club were
tli ore. There were clever comedians, sing
ers and dancers, cowboys and minstrels,
monologixts, artists, musicians and all
jthoe brands of entertainers that make all
the world a stage.
But, first of all, there was beefsteak-great,-
thick. Juicy sirloins and porterhouses
'and all the side "eats." , To add humor to
the situation the ad men had the following
"P. 8. The Ad club la making money on
this dinner, so don't hold anything against
)Roaie MUler."
Memge from Magnates.
The fun started as soon as the merry
makers were seated. Every few momenta
'a bellboy would enter the banquet hall.
waving a telegram addressed to the club.
There was a message from John D. Rocke.
folio-, stating that his digestive appar.t
.would not permit him to grapple with sir
'loin: there was a message from Carrie Na
tion, who sounded a warning against strong i
'drink one from Colonel Fanning from the
nock of Gibraltar; one from James J. Jet
frlos. Secretary Richard A. Balllnger and
.many others. All contained phrases of the
jslde-splltting variety and occasioned much
laughter.
On the Improvised stage at the north end
I of the hall vaudeville stars reigned su
'prems: Musical numbers were furnished
by the celebrated Magyr orchestra, re
cruited from the steerage.
The big show opened with the Ad club
. minstrels, with Sidney Mandelberg and

' More oj thp coon show entertainment was
provided ty Richard D. Skankey and Mel
'Uhl, Jr.. who gave an excellent exhibition of
The Street . Cleaners' ' , Their parries,
Iknocks and roasts were especla'iy com
'mendable and evoked much applause. Not
konly was their dialogue excellent but their
warbling of the latest song successes was
. 1ho laudable.
Some "real music" was given by Charlie
.Vance, soloist, and Edgar A. Hlgglns, the
Impersonator of females, presented his own
life-like portrayal of "Carrie Nation's First
Kick" with .hatchet and ta'Jc on woman's
rights thrown Into the bargain.
Ona of the most clever specialties waa ln
iV troducedby "The Bloodhound Family of
Solicitors," a slap-stick bellow-drama. This
Sketch, written by Robert Manley, waa
designed to show th troubles of the ad
vertising manager aa played by Frank
Harwood. Other ' members of the 'cast

Russell, the solioltor of "The Dally Flea;"
Robert Manley, the solicitor for the "Dal'.y

f was enhanced by the rendition of several
original songs composed by the solicitor for
"The Dally Pork Barrel." (

A piece de resistance was presented In
person by : Mayor Dahlman and his edu
I cated lariat In ' Order t show his skill

proficiency with me lariat by coiling his
nous about ' the neck of one of the spec

fairly and squarely over the head of his
prey. ,...
Another screaming ' farce was that pre
vented ,by I Prof. Lee O. Krats and his
quartet In "A Cyolone of Musical Merri
ment." 'They presented 'Sal-Omy-Ha," a
dratnmer of the year 1920. The characters
were Ralph A. Newell, as the mayor; Prof.
Krats, as the chief of police; I. A. Med
lar, as the aviator, and 8. P, Conover, as
Zske.
Coliel William Kennedy and his as
sociate players, , James C. Llndsey and

popular acts of the evening. All were at
tired in the. typical costume of the Scotch
highlands. The songs of bonnle Scotland,
as sunsr by. Cotanel Kennedy, and the In
strumental selections by Messrs Llndsey
and 'Wallace called for repeated encores.
Last, Bat Not Least.

Some Things You
The English Elections
Down with the lords!" cried the lib
erals and lahorltes during the parlia
mentary campaign. "Down with social
Ism!" was the retort of the conservatives
and unionists. The liberals tried to keep
the political battle centered upon this one
Issue the conservatives devoted their .en
ergies to directing the public interest to
other problems. .
The Houae of Lords was clearly an Issue
In the campaign, however, and It it prob
able that its fate Is sealed. One of the
peculiar features of this campaign has boen
that each party possessed an limue which
seems certain of ultimata success, regard
less of tho results now. The liberal cam
paign against the House of Lords will end,
eventually. In the abolition or reform of
that chamber; and the conservative ad
vocacy of tariff reform cannot fall, event
ually", to have Its effect upon the British
fiscal system.
"Down with the lordsl" became the battle-cry
of the liberals when the House of
Lords, despite the accepted theory that the
lords had no right to Interfere In finan
cial legislation, rejected the Lloyd-George
budget In November by attaching 'an
amendment calling for a dl'solutlori of Par
liament and a general election. Although
the lords made much of this referendum
and pleaded Its popular appeal In reply to
all charges of unconstitutional action, they
and their supporting party tried to make
the election turn on other issues.
- "Down with the lords!" was shouted from
every stump, was blaxoned on every wall,
was preached from many pulpits, was
reiterated In every liberal newspaper. But
It 1 still true that an Englishman dearly
loves a lord, and the campaign did not
create one-tenth the excitement along this
line that might be expected by a republi
can American.
The House of Lords Is an Institution en
tirely unique In the. world, since it is the
last legislative chamber In which member
ship Is held by right of heredity. Every
other monarchy on earth has abolished this
principle, for although In several European
and Asiatic states there is an upper house
composed exclusively of nobles, yet the
voting members must be selected with a
view to their personal fitness for the busi
ness of legislation.
The House of Lords has, under the British '
form of government, three distinct theo
retical functions. The peers are, first, a
council of advice to th sovereign; second.
the supreme court of appeal in all legal
matters; and, third, a branch of the legis
lature. Their function as a council of ad
vice to the crown is a mere fiction, that
offloe having been usurped oenturles ago
by the privy council, which In turn lost
Its power by gradual stages during the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to the
cabinet or ministry, which still retains all
the power to advise and control ' tho
sovereign. f
As the supreme court of appeal, the 622
peers of the House of Lords have delegated
their powers to four law lords, and, curi
ously enough, these four tiro not properly
peers at all. The 622 lords not having the
necessary legal knowledge, industry of
patience to attend to this business, It has
become customary to appoint great lawyers
as life peers, their titles not descending.
These law lords alt as the supreme court
of the United Kingdom and have th same
relation to the Jurisprudence of England
that th supreme court of the United States
bears W that ;. Amricak.-. J"-Z-.
"let mere is no a cmwwnicn guinea ctt
this highest court in which any or all of
the 622 peers might not sit if. they were so
disposed. All that prevents their packing
the supreme court in .this manner Is pre
cedent and' a custom, but it Is not so old,
nor Is it considered so sacred as that other
convention and custom which .was disre
garded when the lords rejected the budget.
The House of Lords consists of three
princes of th blood royal, two archbishops,
twenty-two dukes, twenty-three mar
qulssea, 124 earls, forty viscounts, twenty
four bishops and 336 barons, all of Eng
land. In addition there are sixteen repre
sentative Scotoh peers chosen by the whole
body of Scottish peers, twenty-eight repre
sentative Irish peers chosen in the same
manner and the four legal life peers. This
makes a grand total of 622. Of this num
ber not more than 100, at the outside, have
anything to do with th business of th
housa on ordinary occasions. The majority
of th peers never visit the house at all
unless summoned for some unusual occasion
like th coronation of a new sovereign or
the rejection of a bill sent up from a liberal
House of Commons. When the conserva
tive party Is in power th lords do nothing.
Th bills from th house pass without ques
tion. When th liberals come Into power
th lords awake to activity, and they have
managed in on way and another to block
or mutilate a goodly portion of all liberal
legislation proposed sine the reform bill
Of 1832. ' ' 1 ..' ' "

Want to Know
The House of Lords.
Quorum of the House of Lords and less
than twenty "have more than onoe nega
tived the work of the commons without
consideration or argument. In one Instance
the representatives of both parties from
Scotland were supporting a bill which ap
plied only to Scotland. It passed the
House of Commons unanimously and was
unanimously rejected by the House of
Lords, seventeen peers being present, be
cause, as one of the leaders said, "we had
rather havo the word of one Scotch peer
than of all the people In Scotland."
In 1971 In the reign of Charles II. and
immediately after the House of Lords and
the king had been restored, the commons
pasued a resolution claiming' absolute con
trol over the finances of the nation. This
exclusive right was never afterwards ser
iously disputed until he rejection of the
Lloyd-Oeorge budget. But until 1&32, under
the corrupt elections and rotten borough
system, the peers actually controlled the
House of Commons. Since the enactment
of the reform bill, which was passed
against the terrific opposition of the lords,
the two houses have becti growing further
and further apart. But always, until now,
the lords have admitted that the commons
had the exclusive control over the finances
the sole power of the pursestrlngs. The
crown has admitted this, the speech from
the throne always addressing the com
mons separately when discussing revenue
and disbursements of funds.
That the sudden use of this moribund
power was revolutionary Is proved by the
fact that it was generally considered an
impossibility. Less than eighteen months
ago in the Commons. Mr. Balfour, who led
the campaign for the lords, said: "We all
know that the power of the House of Lords
is limited by the fact that It cannot touch
these money bills which, if It could deal
with, no doubt it could bring the whole
executive machinery of the country to a
standstill." The late Lord Salisbury, a
pre-eminent conservative leader, said In
1S01: "The House of Lords takes no share
whatever In that which Is the most im
portant part of the annual, constant busi
ness of every legislative body, vis., the
provision of funds by which the public
service Is to be carried on, and the de
termination of the manner In which these
services are to be carried on."
William Pitt, In 1766, in speaking against
the American colonies stamp act. said:
"The taxes are a voluntary gift of the
commons alone. In legislation the three
states of the realm are alike concerned,
but the concurrence of the peers and the
crown to a tax is only necessary to clothe
It with the form of a law. The gift and
grant Is of the commons alone." In fact,
this principle of the constitution never had
been questioned from the time of Oliver
Cromwell until It was found necessary to
do something , to prevent the principle of
taxation of land values from becoming a
part of the British system of taxation.
In 1893, under the leadership of Mr. Glad
stone, the commons passed a home rule
bill for Ireland. The lords sent out a wild
alarm and many peers who never before
had seen the Inside of the chamber at
tended to vote against the bill, whtoh was
rejected by a vote of 419 to 4L , Since that
time the lords have rejected and amended
many bills sent up from liberal commons,
never those from conservative houses.
Then came this much discussed Lloyd
Oeorge budget. Another alarm was sounded
ahdtthe "Vila .toert.?j'-theyM'e. 'called,
trooped In.. Many of these backwoodsman
peers, who hold the right to vote In a
legislative assembly by virtue of birth, had
never before taken their seats, and doxens
of them did not know how the division, or
process of voting, waa conducted. The
budget was rejected by a vote of 350 to n.
Even then there were 197 lords not present
or not voting.
While he conservative party attempted to
place the emphasis upon other questions,
it did not shrink from its task of defend
ing the' lords, despite the old speeches of
Mr. ' Balfour, Mr. Chamberlain and other
leaders which were so widely quoted by
the liberals. One of the leaflets circulated
by th national union of conservative as
sociations said.' "Why not abolish the
House of Commons, because It often vetoes
the legislation of tho House of . Lords?
The House of Lords his tho older standing,
the greater Intellect, end, above all, the
freedom to consider questions on their own
merits alone, which the House of Com
mons, subject as it is to electoral caprice,
can never have." That hundreds of thou
sands of copies of this leaflet were dis
tributed broadcast throughout the kingdom
is proof sufficient that the Englishman
still dearly loves a lord. Nevertheless, a
great many Englishmen are thoroughly In
earnest when they cry: "Down with th
Lords!"

for UambllHtf.
"The'sesslon of the city council last night
was consumed with the advancement of
paving propositions and the opening of bids
for permanent sidewalks. .
The petitions designating materials, the
award of the contracts and the approval
of th contract and bonds of the fortunate
contractors In seven of the nine paving
districts wore the several steps In the pro
cedure. The paving of Twenty-first street
north of Mlnsouri avenue was awarded to
the National Construction company. The
same company secured the paving of Nine
teenth street, F street and Eighteenth
street. Th material used Is asphaltlc con
crete.
Dan Hannon secured the contract for B
street, C street, J street, Twenty-second
street. Twentieth and A streets. The ma
terial used is brick paving block. Jensen
& Lefler received the award for Twenty
first street from N to Railroad avenue and
for Twenty-second street from M to . N.
The material to be used Is brick block.
The petition designating materials on
Thirty-ninth avenue was withheld at the
request of (he Offerman Plumbing, Heat
lng and Construction company, the bidders
whose petition was most largely signed.
A communication was received from the
park board protesting against the petition
for paving Hoctor boulevard with creo-
soted wood block. The park board de
clared It would cost about $15,000 morethan
the other materials. The matter waa re
ferred to the city attorney,' and it is not
known V that the resolution of the park
board can have any effect in setting aside
the petition designating the materials to
be used tn this paving. The city owns the
property on one side of this boulevard and
will have to pay a larger proportion of
the expense thau lu the cas of the othor
streets. 1
Rowley Good Gneaser.
Considerable amusement was caused when
the bids for permanent sidewalks were
opened. G. Manclnl of Florence bid 11
cents per square foot for concrete or ortl
flclal stone, 11 cents for brtok, 3 cents fo
pine curb and 80 cents for grading. W, H,
Rowley bid 1174-100 cents for stone. 9 9T-100
cents for brick and 20 cents for grading.
Gus Hamll bid 12 cents for stone. 10 cents
for brick. 4 cents for pine curb and 25 cents
for grading. The point which caused the
amusement was that Rowley bid the least
possible fraction under his competitors in
caoh case.
The ordinance for the paving of A street
from Twenty-third to Twenty-sixth was
passed, and the ordinance to pave B street
from Twenty-eighth to Twenty-ninth also
passed.
The award of the official publications
was made to 3. M. Tanner, and the Dally
Democrat designated as the official' paper.
A communication was received from th
Federation of Labor asking: that an ordl
nance be passed to; compel -th employment
of none but union - labor on all publlo

Police Court Crowded.
: Thirty-one negroes, of th city were tried
in police court yesterday morning, the
process requiring all of the forenoon. The
charge against all the men was gambling.
The owners of the places where the games
were found in operation were tried first.

found guilty and fined S25 and costs. The

Melcher Drag Store Robbed.
Th Melcher drug store was robbed Sun
day night of S25 and a check for S5- The
entrance was made through a rear window
and the back door was then unlocked.
The porter who had been working at th
plaoe waa Suspected and was located by
the Omaha police. His name is Frank
Stepany. Mr. Melcher had a great deal of
confidence in the porter and it was with
reluctance that he was compelled to think
that the man had broken into the store.
He was led to this conclusion because th
porter was the only person outside of the
employes who knew where the money was
kept. Stepany will be held for further
examination.
