iest days of much-decrlod Cannontsm
surpassed tho gag rulo methods of
the democrats in tho present con
gress, as described by Congressman
Anderson of Minnesota, In explaining
why he felt obliged to resign from
the ways and means committee to
savo his self-respect With tho
booted and spurred buccaneers of
democracy riding rough-shod over
everything not cut and dried In their
caucus camp, an ordinarily sensitive
person finds membership on tho com
mittee simply Intolerable. As Con
gressman Anderson expresses It:
I am Induced to reiirn mi mem
bership on the committee because the
rules of this house and the system of le
lslatlon In vogue hero denrlve me of mv
opportunity of service to the country and
bc-cause my contlnuanco on tho commit
tee must be construed into
In fraud upon those who have a right to
believe, and do believe, that I have had.
or shall have, some part In framing the
legislation reported by that committee.
Mado In tho opon, such an arraign-
ment must be taken to reflect the ex
tent to which tho flush of victory la
carrying the democrats and to em-
pnasizo the transparency of their old
nue and cry against "Cannonlsm,"
which, though a milder form of Un
derwoodlsm. was condemned bv re
publicans, themselves. And we know
from no less on authority than our
own senator that this samo slave
driving policy obtains under demo
cratic rule In tho senate as well as
tho house.

Oh, listen to one of tho Water

It spenks of tho board, it moans tho
boss of tho board, who dictates Us
every act, ond who, to make the
wator works paramount to every
other public Improvement, would
build tho city around the plant In
stead of adapting tho plant to the
city.
Tho whole controversy only goes
to prove again the foolishness in hav
ing a department of our municipal
government, in control of property
Dougnt and paid for by tho city, man
aged and operated by a board claim
lng to be not only entirely separate
and independent from tho officers
responsible for the conduct of tho

completely exempt from popular con
trol or recall.

Ono thing which Stato Auditor

Beo: Please give the following space In
your esteemed paper.
By various articles in tho local papers
recently I learn that our city officials
when attending conventions In other cities
are not allowed any money to pay their
expenses. I do not know whether the
parties that have brought this about were
octlng from personal motives, but It
seems to me that It Is a small matter to
nulbhlA nVAr when we have so many Im
portant questions which concern the wel-
rare oi tne pudiic to consiaer ana wnicn
give the reformers ample scopo It their
Intentions to reform present conditions
are sincere.
For Instance: Why is the court house
lawn (?) still In such an unsightly condi
tion? Why are tho smoke stocks of the
court house and high school permitted
to hatch forth votumeM of smokA In vlnla-
I tlon of the anti-smoke ordinance? Why
, doesn't the cltv or county have an am
bulance for conveying emergency patients
to hospitals? Ttecontly I sow a poor fel
low lying In tho sun on the hot pave
ment on Farnam street, near Fourteenth,
for thirty-five minutes before assistance
was rendered hira. Why Isn't the spitting
ordinance enforced? With approaching
bad weather our street cars and side
walks will soon be in a filthy condition
a menace to public health. A few ar
rests would quickly remedy these condl
tlons, as was done a few years ago.
Going back to the subject of oxpenso
money, It seems to me that there should
be o fund created for and an Itemized
account kept of all such exDendlturra.
All larger firms have an entertainment j

Editor of The Bee: As I have always
favored the building and malntnlnini- n
good country roads, I desire to call at
tention to the deplorable condition of
some of our country roads now. Tho
majority of Douglas county taxpayers
will agree with me when I say that the
roads leading from Omaha out Into the"
country ore in the wont Mmiuinn
ever hove been. Aa the re la nnpnt nn.
nually $100,000 or: roadn and hrMi... i
Douglas county, from actual showing it
Is impossible to discover whom Avon tin -,
000 was used.
Another matter agltatins rnv mind Mr
Editor, Is why should tho county com
missioners spend ,25,000 of tho county's
money on a bridgo to cross tho Platto
river Into another COUntV tth.n thn rnnrt
to the bridgo Is Impassable? Again, why
are bridges being built on the Elkhorn
river that aro not needed?
Again, was a low of S90.000 mnrlst tnr
nridges in 1313 and only ,40,000 for roads,
when it Is plain thot the greatest benefit
WOUld be derived bv thn crrnt miml,..
by having better roads?
The roads leading in ana out of Finr.
ence are a disgrace, and thra mnmhr.
of the county board visits this vicinity
iwo or mreo times a week. Mr. Editor,
I suggest that the county Mmmlui.....
eiectea on the slogan of "I stand for
good roads" wako up and make good.

Hard-earned well-spent dollars
That's what the Chicago Great Western has
used in rebuilding its line between Omaha,
St. Paul, Minneapolis, Chicago, Des Moines
and Kansas City-$10,000 for every mile of
road. It was more than a "barrel of money"
but the Chicago Great Western is more than
an average railroad in fact, it is the bestrail
road from Omaha to St. Paul and Minneapolis
the line which particular travolers use the
line of GET-THERE-FIRST TRAINS for
GET-THERE-FIRST people.
Trains leave Omaha 7:44 a. m. and 8:10 p. ro.
