Qrnnil Jnrr
Mayor Tom Hoctor, chnlrman of the
Fire and Police board, and his two Asso
ciates, W. Tt Donahue and John 11. to
vlne. have heen ordered by Judge Troup
to stop th slot machine evil In South
Omaha or show caus why they should
not he found derelict In their duty. The
order wu Issued Friday under an alter
native writ Issued out of the district
ourt. It wa served by Sheriff Me
thane's office. When service ra made
on the mayor It U understood that he
explained that he could not call a meet-I-
of the board until the other two
memben return. It Is not known
whether the machines were ordored oulj
f the saloons.
The complaint was made by Constable
p. C. Caldwell, former Justice of tht
peace, who has threatened the boam
for some time. It was asserted that
Caldwell would not carry out his threat
of appealing to the district court. Cold
well says he was approached and urged
tp 'Tay down." He refused.
Mayor Hoctor yesterday said he had
ordered out the slot machines once, but
Xhat they had been replaced while h
was serving on the federal ffrand jury
and have continued running ever since. j
Mayor Hoctor said that Probation Offi
cer MacCauley had told him that there
waa n court decision which held that tho
gum machines were not gambling; devices
III honor appeared anxious to show that
ha was not to blame of course. He said
that If the court should hold with the
alleged opinion said to have been quoted
to him there will be nothing to prevent
the wholesale operation of the gambling
machines In every saloon, pool hall,
candy store, tobacco store, drug ators
and grocery.
Some Of those operating the machines
day that If they are forced out of busi
ness no one else will operate. They art
said to have taken in over $10u,000 last
year through the 116 machines running
in Bouth Omaha.
No Bidder for Bonds.,
Some anxiety prevails In school board
circles It Is understood over the lack ot
bidder on the new X.O0O bond Issue re
cently advertised. It 1 sAld the same
onltlon prevails in Omaha. The bonds
Wert issued with an eye to wiping out
the overlap debts that have accumulated
on the school district for many years.
President E. II. Leigh and the board feel
that the school district can U- placed
en a paying basis if the old debts ari
wiped out. They therefore decided upon
the Issue authorised by the last
UgUUturs. The bonds wero voted and
Advertised, for, but so far there have
been no bidders, although the district Is
ottering I per cent Interest and school
Vond are generally snapped up by bond
dealers.
T Solve Put In a- Tax Claratlon.
The reduction ot the Thirtieth street
paving tax will come up again Monday
It is expected. The question has been
agitated for some weeks and it Is said
that an Agreement Is expected this week.
For the last two weeks the council has
been badly spilt over the question. Borne
of the property owners have long since
paid their tax. Several large property
holders, however, who asked for the pav
ing Improvement, It Is said, now seek to
bave the tax reduced and the interest
i for many years ranoelled The little
home owners who have paid their paving
tax have railed at the office of City At
torney Henry C. Murphy to protest the
reduction of any paving tax for large
property holders under any agreement.

Country Vncatlon for Tene
ment Children.
Three advance agents ot the United
Charities have started on a trip through
Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin and
Indiana determined to Induce benevolent
formers to assist .In providing vacations
for 10,000 of Chicago's poor children.
Tho agents plan to organize a commit
tee In each country town which fs to
have charge of the children's vacation
In Its community. Each committee will
be called on to provide suitable country
homes for the little ones whose name
have been listed by the United Charttica
The children will be given at least two
weeks' relief from the uncomfortabtt
tenement houses. The territory to bt
visited han been divided among Hev. D.
C, Hcnshaw, First Baptist church, Hart
ford, Mich.; Iter. O. Milton Dardsly,
pastor of the Galileo Baptist church,
Chicago, and Dev. O H. Bright of tht
Lowell, lnd.. Methodist Episcopal church.
Another feature ot the United Charities
summer outing program will be the
opening of their Algonquin camp on the
Fox river next Monday. On that day
about forty convalescent women, with
their small children, will be taken there
for a two weeka' outing. On the follow,
lng Thursday another party ot con
valescent women will depart for the
camp. Similar groups will be sent twlct
a week until tho fifteen buildings and
thirty tents which are scattered over th
twenty acres are filled.
For the last three weeks Bernard C.
IXoloff, director ot the summer outing
program, has been bombarded with
pathetic requests from children who
might .have been overlooked during the
organization's compilation of eligible
vacationists. In addition, hundreds ol
poor children have been appearing dally
at the rllne district branches of the
organization announcing that they were
ready to start on their vacation. Chicago

UPLIFT OF AMERICAN CITIES
Statistics Prore They Are Better
to Live lit Than the
Country.
Forty years ago we American city waa
regarded as hopeless. Crowded tenements,
dirty alleys, haunts of vice and cesspools
of disease were accepted as Inevitable re
cults of dense pojulat'ons. Bjtdemles were
expected and when they came and klUod
their thousands they were looked upon
as necessary evils. But science found the
microbes and the civic conscience found
the Ji-y of public service.
Thus In a third tit a century a miracle
wus wrought and today the city shows up
Ixstter in the health and Insanity and
deluctlve statistics than tho country. Tho
pressing problems of better living aro
found in the rural sections. There Is
much to do In the way ot sanitation and
ventilation, of purer water and more sun
shine. There' Is a noble gain to be made
In giving true variety and Interest to
country life. The loneaomeness can bo
cranKtd and the change means a wonder
ful uplift In the average ot the new
genet niluh.
Or cou.e, the cities are far from perfection-
but they are also far from their
oundltlons ot forty years ago, and city
people have seen and learned. Soon they
will be scattered throughout the rural
rcglors. Why not take with them a pur?
pese to use their knowledge wlsetyT In
helping Uie people In the country to
better living and healthier ways they will
be helping themselves, tor we know only
too wll that the energy of the city la
fed by tht- new blood trom the country,
and the belter and purer this blood Is
the better for the clty.-Pnlldelphla.
