,( oitlime Statement.
Continuing his statement, Dr. Connell
said!
If any one. excepting those who desire
to make political capital our of my re
marks, or to vent their personal enmity
against me. can construo them us an in
sult to any teacher, pupil or purent of n
pupil In high school, ho VY 0WL i
u greater degreo -of Imagination than 1
am. No thought of offering an insult to
any pupil over entered my inlnd.
Now, gentlemen of the commission, any
consideration you may give this matter
I desire It to bo on my statement and
not on any newspaper or other reports
giving nn account of what I said, as they
arc wrong unless they correspond with
my statement of facts. In other words, I
am willing and anxious to have you or
uny other unprejudiced person or people
pass on my actual language, but I ani
not willing fo havo my remarks distorted,
words or sentencos read or written into
them, that 1 never uttered, y a lot of
political pirates, dlstortloiiers of the truth
and my personal enemies, In ordor to con
vey a different meaning than I Intended.
When 1 say political pirates I speak
advisedly, ns you gentlemen well know
there Is not a smoother, well-oiled work
ing political machine In the state of Ne
braska than the present Jichopl board of
Omaha, This political machlno does not
work only when an election is on, on
riuv between that night and their
next meeting, If occasion should arise to
set It in motion: ana it is necessary i
annihilate anyone who will dare to
criticise. Interfere, or even suggest to
them anything contrary to their desire or
dictation.
This, gentlemen. Is the roason they havo
turned their mud "batteries on me; not
because they care for the remarks I
made, as 1 aald nothing that anyone
could honestly take exception, to, but as
I had dared, in my official duty as health
commissioner, to force them to do things
to protect tho health and Uvea of the
children tinder their caret I must bo re
moved from office, they knowing If they
were successful the next health com
inUwloner would not dare to molest them,
even If this mighty board caused a score
of deaths umongst tho school children.
They had been Interfered with many
times by me, but the first time they were
thoroughly piqued, ana iearnoa tney
my exact
I used no
the school should not open until It was
repaired
The next occasion on which they wore
biought to time, ami when 1 say they I
mean the majority of the board, who
everyone knows Is only one man. In mat
ters pertaining to sanitation, at least,
namely, the president of the board. Dr.
llolovtchlner. was when be and his good
man Friday, Mr. Jacotnon. another mem
ber of the board, hrought In person to
the health office a case of diphtheria
that was under quarantine. For this net
I caused the arrest of the grandfather,
wbi was with them: he was prosecuted
and fined 116. although the fine was re
mitted I admit I was derelict In my
duty, because In that I did not arrest
these members nf the school board as
well, as they were equally guilty.
The next unpardonable offense that I
committed was when I characterised in
print their medical Inspection of the
schools, not only as a farce, hut a crime
Let us see If I was Justified In making
this assertion. On January 11. a case of
diphtheria was reported from North
Hlxteenth street. The patient lived only
nine hours after the health department
knew of the case. Two others In the
family were afflicted. This caso was re
ported to the Board of Kducatlon at once
by the health department, as we always
do any contagious disease. Tho Board of
Kducatlon ordered a medical Inspection pf
the room where this child attended
school It was reported back by the
physician making tho Inspection, "No con
tagion In the school."
As other eases developed the hoard or
dered three days later another Inspection
by a different physician, and three or
four days later still another Inspection.
These two last Inspections were reported
back to the health department the Mnir
as the first had been "no contag.on '
Knowing there must be diphtheria In the
I Cass school, or all these cases would not
, coinlnc down from the same room.
about ono hour after the last Inspection
mini tn. the Itfmrit of Kducatlon. Dr. Lee.
assistant city physician, and myself mado
an Inspection, took eleven, cultures from
suspected cases of diphtheria, and o'll of
the eleven suspects seven were fo''nd
positive diphtheria by the bacteriological
tents made hv tho cltv bacteriologist, -ind
this lest never can make a mistake. tnou
seven cases of dlphtneria were excrjoeu
from the school and quarantined, but not
until two had died and twelve case from
this school had developed wiib the epi
demic controlled. If proper medical In
spection had been made there would have
been but one cass, or tno aisease. iioi
ono of these cases occurred from tnu
school after Dr. Ice and I had removed
the chlllren afflicted. In Justice to lh-
physicians whom the board sent to mdke
the Inspection, they are not to blaino, as
they are capable and reputable plij.il-
clans, but the Instructions given them V
the Itoard as to how to make the Inspec
tion, and to do It no other way. nnno
the detecting of contagious diseases next
to Impossible. If they should make the
proper Inspection they uro roasted by the
hoard and told their services are no
lot gcr lequlred, ns was the case with Dr.
Holer In the Franklin school.
The Inst straw that broke the political
machine's back was when I Introduced, a
few weeks ago. Into tho legislature, two
bills, one providing for the proper medical
Inspection of schools In metropolitan
cities, which If passed, will give Omaha
the same up-to-date Inspection that the
city of Chicago now enjoys. The other
was a bill requiring 1.S00 cubic reet or
fresh air to each pupil per hour; the
hoard knowing well that If this bill went
through It won M expose the large amount
of money they have been spending for
new buildings, and In many cases It
would require a new ventilating system
and a large expenditure of money to cor
rect their mistakes and Ignorance. Hee
It they do not work overtime killing these
two bills, and ask any reputable physician
In tho city of Omaha If they do not think
that both bills should become a law?
Gentlemen of the commission, these are
the true reasons for which this political
machine Is after me. Ii It any wonder,
with these conditions, that they arc
working overtime to pass resolutions
Insisting on the teachers and faculty Vf
the high school to do the same, getting
them to influence the club and stude.its
of the' school to resolute, out night aftet
night Imploring, misrepresenting and re
sorting to falsehoods before Improvem -lit
clubs and labor organizations?
I learned from good authority that If
they are not successful with their politi
cal plot today they are putting the ma
chine In order to get their generals, lieu
tenants and my personal enemies to bom
bard you gentlemen with letters, tele
phones, etc.. asking yon If you are still
keeping that man Connell In office, and
when you are going to fire him? They
are contemplating the same raid on the
newspapers through letters denouncing
me on what I have and have not done.
There Is nothing too small, degraded or
disreputable for this political machine to
resort to In order te accomplish their end.
In addltnon to the foregoing reasons,
excepting Dr. llolovtchlner, who has a
personal feeling against me, a majority
of the members of this political mnchlne
have had It In for me for the present
administration and would attack any ap
pointees of yours. If they had a semblance
of r reason for doing so, hoping It might
react upon the present administration
The tirade made arainst me bv A C
Kennedy In my absence, one of the de-1
feated candidates for your position was :
Intended as n knock against you through
me, as well as a personal feeling against I
me for the health office trying to make 1
him correct unsnnltary conditions on '
property he owns and controls as well
as make his political machine do things
they did not desire to do.
Now, gentlemen. I have performed the
duties of health commissioner of the city
of Omaha for the last six and u half;
years. It is not u position nai chu oe
filled by a man who tries to please
everyone, or who tries to carry water on
both shoulders. As you and the publu
both know me. I can never be accused
of trying to make friends by failing Ut
do the duties Imposed upon me by my
office. Perhaps 1 havo made some
enemies amongst those who are not
,i,rnhlv in favor of progress and n
better Omaha. I am positive I have i
made many friends amongst tnose mo
desire Omaha lo rank in health, sanita
tion and progress the first In the land.
If It was posslblo for them to accom
plish their desire, what Incentive Is thero
for any public officer to attempt to do
his dutv to the citizens?

No-Rim-Cut Tires 10 Oversize
111 Cars at the Show
1 At this week's Automobile Show, 54 of the cars
are shown equipped with Goodyear tires.
That's 48 per cent of all the cars on exhibit. It's
a better shtwing, by 32 per cent, thai that of our
tearest competitor.
And this is on show cars, remember, where makers
put their best foot forward.
Our contracts with car Makers for the' 1913 season
eall for 890,680 tires.
That's enough to equip 222,670 cars. A very
large percentage of the new cars of this year will go
out with Goodyear equipment.
In all probability, enough Goodyear tires will be
used this year to completely equip 500,100 cars.
That means two million tires.
What These Car Makers Know
Automobile makers, in these days, try to
cut down enr upkeep.
They don't warrant tiros. But they know
that nothing else counts so much with the
user ns low cost of tire repair.
They know that the good of the industry
requires the minimizing of this main expense.
And they know that hundreds of thous
ands of motor car owners now recommend
Goodyear tires.
Rim-Cutting Must End
Thoso makers know that 23 per cent of
all old-typo tires become rim-cut. And rim
cut ruin is beyond repair.
And they know that Goodyear No-Rim-
Cut tires put an end to this troublo forever.
Not one of these tires has ever been rim-cut
in all their years of use.
Rim-cutting must he ended. It means
too groat a drain. And the only satisfactory
way to end it is controlled by Goodyear pat
ents. Oversize Demanded
Then tiro up-keep depends immensely on
tho air capacity of tires.
No-Rim-Cut tires, in this rosjxie-t, are 10
per cent over the rated size. That fentqro
alone, under average conditions, adds 25 per
cent to the tire mileage.
Long-Lived Winter Treads
Then men in winter want a non-skid
tread. They want it efficient they want it
enduring. And Goodyenr experts have solved
these problems as they never were solved be
fore. The Goodyead Non-Skid is a tough, extra
tread, vulcanized onto tho regular. That
means a double-thick tread.
The blocks are deep-cut, sharp-cut and
enduring. They retain their efficiency over
thousands of miles.
Countless edges aud angles, facing every
direction, insure a bulldog grip.
GoodJTear
AKjRON, OHIO
No-Rim-Cut Tires
With or Without Double-Thick Non.Skid Treads
Then tho blocks meet at the base, so the
strains nre distributed the same as with
smooth-tread tires. That's a very important
.advantage.
See What They Mean
Note these tires at the Show.
' you enn see why rim-cutting can't occur
in a No-Rim-Cut tire. You can see tho over
size. You can see that tho Goodyear winter
trend, far and away, excels other non-skids.
Then remember this: Goodyear tires far
outsell all the others, after 14 years of" com
parisons. Their sale today is seven times larger"
