(Prsm a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Sept. 20.-SpecisJ.)-The
Eppersonian ' committee of the bull
moose campaign Is sending . out letters
this morning to off state house officials
and appointees,, calling for a 2 per
cent donation from their salaries. Of
ficials at the state house have already
received from the other committee of the
hull moose movement a call for sums
ranging as high aa S2S0 for some of the
officials. Should the regular republican
committee issue a like call- for the cus
tomary 2 per cent of salaries, It will
make the campaign for state officer
and. their employes a decidedly expensive
affair.
In some of the departments the head
of the official family receives $2,500 sal
ary. The Cor rick committee has already
assessed that official $250. Now comes a
2 per cent call from the Epperson bunch
which means J50 more. Should the Taft
committee make a like assessment It will
take another $sa The deputy official In
each office receives $1,800. A 2 per cent
assessment from each "branch" of the
republican party and the bull moose con
tingent added, would make an additional
$108 from that source. A conservative
estimate would make the average number
of employes connected with each depart
ment about ten, drawing salaries averag
ing at the least calculation $1,000. This
would add to the; receipts from each de
partment nearly $1,000.
One Ofletal Balks.
One prominent official who received a
letter this morning calling for a' 2 per
cent of salary donation to the Epperson
lan committee, said: "I shall take no
notice of the letter. I do not propose to
donate to any committee or any fund
whereby any part of the donation might
be used to elect Theodore Roosevelt to
the presidency. Neither will I donate to
any campaign fund which may be used
to elect any candidate for office who is
helping to elect Roosevelt as against
the regular nominee of the republican
party. What money I have to donate will
be placed in such a Way that republicans
will be benefitted and not those who are
tryin gto defeat republican nominees.'.' -

(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Sept. 20.-(SpeciaL)-Secre-tary
Royse of the State Banking board,
who also has charge of the building and
loan associations of the state, which
have something like $30,000,000 of the
money belonging to Nebraska people, has
made a report of the associations and In
connection with It eays:
"In subimtting this, the twentieth an
nual report of the condition of the build
ing and loan associations of Nebraska,
with summaries and detailed information,
It Is with pleasure that I call your at
tention to the fact that these Institutions
still continue to show growth and pros
perity, and seem to be keeping pace In
the fulfillment of their purposes with
other financial Institutions that go to
build up the wealth and resources of the
state as a whole. There can no olnger
be any., question as to the need of such
Institutions, as they are demonstrating
by their steady growth that the people
need their services.
"No material suggestions are thought
to be necessary at this time as to the
supervision. Time and experience will
doubtless bring, such, changes and im
provements as may be necessary to safe
guard the vast sum of the people's money
(now approximately $30,000,000) entrusted
to their care. With the increasing wealth
o fthe state as the years go on and the
sum entrusted to them becomes larger
the responsibility of supervision . will
grow to be a no inconsiderable burden.
The resources In- their care, drawn from
the people who can illy , afford to have
their earnings jeopardized, will require
increasing care and watchfulness.
."No longer is there any doubt that
these associations have a permanent place
among the financial Institutions of the
state In a field practically their own and
which they are peculiarly adapted to
occupy. .""V-'i .'"; ' '- ,
' "It Is to be hoped that when periods of
depression come, as doubtless they will,
that the interests of the wage-earner and
home builder, will have been safeguarded

( The Omaha Dally News recently ran
an article in two parts entitled do
Clothes Make the Man?" It told of
how a fellow "Bum" Kelly who
had been started out to hunt a job
dressed in his clothes of the under
world had met' rebuff after rebuff
and how the next day the experi
menter had dressed him up in fault
less fashion and started him out
again. On his second trip he didn't
get a job, but he did get courteous
treatment all along the line and sev
eral invitations to call again. It only
goes to prove what we've often con
tended, that clothes do not make the
man, but that good fitting garments,
such as we sell, give a man entrance
into places which he could in no
other way gain and Is thus brought
face to face with opportunities which
would Ignore him In other garb.
One of our closest studies is to assist our customers as much as possiblo and make buying
here convenient. A great many of our patrons are employed meiiriio must do their
clothes buying on their noon hour. The usual store method is to be 50 short-handed
during that hour. As a consequence many noontime customers are subjected , to annoy
ing waits-often they must go away unserved. This store has adopted an original plan.
Our salesmen take luncheon before or after the noon hour. This plan was not an arbi
trary ruling by us, but was concurred in by the salesmen themselves, who are always
willing to inconvenience themselves in order that our customers may be better served:
We invite those men who must make the most of their noon times to trade here, where a
full sales force is always in attendance at the noon hour.
Fall Suits Are Simply Fine

.Amid the turmo'.l of politics, and re
gardless of the : claims of this or that
party as to its particular' theories being
necessary to the nation's material ad
vancement, It may be well to bear In
mind the following facts:
-1. The country . is now producing pig
Iron at the rate of about 29,000,000 tons
a year, . with consumption exceeding
production. ' This Is at the rate of about
4,000,000 tons 'higher' than 'the boom
year of 1908," and at' the rate of about
2,000,000 torts higher than the production
of 1910, the record year of Iron output. .
The cotton manufacturing "intorests
of the country, which for several yeara
suffered from a period of depression
greater than this Industry had had for
very many years, are now enjoying great
prosperity. Cotton mills in all parts of
the country are crowded with work and
making money. ,
' 3, To the amazement of the cotton
trade of the world, a crop of 16,600,000
bales has been rapidly absorbed at stead
ily advancing prices. .
4. Crop prospects indicate that onco
more the .American fanners will before
the end of . this year have produced
$8,000,000,000 to $9,000,000,000 of value. ' '
5. The 250,000 miles of railroad In this
country are. with few exceptions, taxed
almost to the limit of their ability to
handle existing traffic, which will rapidly
Increase as the crop moving season ap
proaches. ', . J .
