for nine days.
Tne ammai uit another dog, a man
whose Identity was not learned and the
Ryan boy. lie came into the yard where
the lad was playing and seised his leg,
leaving marks of Its teeth plainly visible.
Mr, XSerger, according to Mr. Ryan, freed
tha boy from the dog's attack.
The animal was examined by the city
veterinarian, who reported, that he was
not "mod." but ordered that he be kept
tied to dctcrmlno if he had an incipient'
case of rabies, which might lator be

'It is a terrible sensation," said Mr.
'Ryan, "to know that tha boy may bo in

after danger is supposed tty be over."
Tha father said he would have preven

physicians.
Sixty-four Inmates of the Douglas

Howard Kennedy of the board of control
of public Institutions, who says with

Judge Kennedy nnd Member Oerdes ot

The crowded conditions at the Douglas

for the patients sent there. Local health
officers, following The Beo's exposure,
Investigated and found conditions as de

Baker Rules Autos
May Be Used at the
Coming Gas Election
Corporation Attorney Benjamin 8.
Baker yesterday translaed tho law
governing the conveying of voters to the
polls as applying to candidates and po
litical committees only, lie sold tha law
forbids any candidate or committee to
convoy voters to the polls In automobiles
or any vehicle on election day By com
mittee Attorney Bakor translates the law"
to moan a political one. Therefore it is
possible that at the coming gaa franchise
election automobiles and other vehicles
will be UHed to carry voters to the polls,
As there is no candidate or political com'
mlttee connected with the election the
conveying of Voters to tho polls would
bo legal according to Attorney iker.
Who Pays for City
Elections is Now
Being Considered
Does the new election commissioner
law provide that the expenses of an elec
tion held solely In tho Interest of the
city of Ompha shall be paid directly by
the olty or that the county shall pny
them and 0hen look to the city for the
money? No one Is able to say posttlvc'v.
The question has been left for County
Attorney Magnoy, City Attorney lllne
and Election Commissioner Moorhead to
decide. County officials believe ths law
means the city shall be charged dlrretly
with the expense, basing their opinion
on this clause, "provided, however, that
tho expense of holding and conducing
separately any city, municipal or (school
district election shall be charged to r-nd
paid by the city, municipality or school
district holding the olectlon."
County offclals say. however, that Mr.
Moorhead Is Inclined to Interpret tho law
In mich n wav that tho county would
pay the cost of a city election and would i
then ask the city to "please pay us
the money."

SUSPICION
Paralysis of progress is born of SUSPICION. , .
; The business of the world and the happiness of the home are 'founded
upon the presumption of honesty.
Why not apply this law of the universe to the unnamed and unknown
cily officials of Omaha to be elected in future years?
Every so-called argument against the rale-redaction gas franchise
is based upon the ground that the? men you elect to public office in the
future cannot be trusted, even though ymu have the power of recalL
No regulation f public utilities is possible unless regulatory powers are
lodged with some one or more public officials.
Do you believe in suspicion?
The two leading charges by the objecting newspaper, if they mean any
thing at all, are as follows: .
1. That because the gas company is advertising tho rate-ro- .. .: -duction
franchise, tho franchise necessarily is bad.
2. That bocauso thta gas company is willing to make an im-
y mediato reduotion in rates which will save gas users more - ; ,
' than $700,000 during tho next) 5 years alone, the fran-
chise must bo evil.
The first is an unjust indictment of all advertising, f
The second is a misleading appeal to baser prejudices.
The $5,000vhich the gas company is spending in meeting the attacks
of the objectors, published front page, free, is a small item compared to the
amount spent annually in advertising by any of the big stores of Omaha.
But you would not believe anyone who told you that merchandise of
the big stores is bad because it is advertised,
Here we have a newspaper, evidently desperate in its lack of real argu
ment, saying that the rate-reduction franchise is bad because it is advertised.
As for the other charge, if you think it over ,you certainly will realize
how primitive and unworthy it is.
Supposing you were dealing with a man, and he conceded a valuable
point and you were able to agree.
Would you consider him dishonest?
Could any agreement of any kind be made" if the advice of the 06
jecting newspaper were followed?
Charges of improper or undue spending of money by the gas company
are BAtSE. They are further evidence of the weakness of real argu
ments against the rate-reduction franchise,
