SPEAKS AT COMMERCIAL CLUB Declares thnt llnmnnltr l rnat the Btngr "When Hoik nt It ! to lie Preyed Upon hy the Few, "The keynote of the twentieth century democracy Is a new spirit of sympathy between well disposed and honest men for the good of the people as a whole," declared Dalnbrldgi. Colby of New York, in his speech at the Commercial club luncheon. "We have passed that stage which re lied for Its power on the mass of people being considered as a manlpulable mass of humanity which could be controlled through a machine and bosses for the private good of a few. The new spirit nt democracy Is a Joint spirit of action. In which men aro In accordance. It threat ens the 6ld time party subservience to party and party emblem. It was concern ing this old spirit that James Bryce re ferred when he said there was no other cause for such a glgahtle governmental mischief as was wrought In the United States, and from which we have suf fered so long. "I believe that we are now passing through an era of political chaos such ns wo experienced during the decade from 3850 to I860, which marked the downfall of the old whig and democratic parties. T believe that we will emerge from the present situation Into jun era which will havo for Its watchword 'efficiency' and will bo characterized by honesty of rep resentation of the people In our various branches of government. It will show a marked spirit of drrect accountability of the elective representatives to tho people as a whole whom they represent, and will bear the higher stamp of honest conduct on tho part of public officers. Agreed with Honsrvelt. "I agree with Roosevelt when he said that civilization moves from west to east. 'In the east we aro now looking for that fine example of this spirit which orig inated in this longitude and we are in a measure applying that spirit to our own local problems. The overthrow of Tam many this year marks ono of the results of tho application of this spirit. . That or ganization which had for its aim tho di verting of public funds into private purses, was ono of the most corrupt and snal-oddrous political organizations ever effected. It was conducted along highly bclentlflo lines. Yet it was only when 'we had reached the height of our com bined effort to work together for tho public good that wo were able to defeat that organization. The fact that it has existed so long is an appalling arraign ment of our citizenship. "While I bcllcvo that tho constitution Is a sacred document, I do believe that It in too inflexible for our modern needs. The public sentiment was overwhelmingly in favor of tho income tax for twenty years, yet U was not made effective aa a law until nearly eighteen years after the 'general public was overwhelmingly In favor of It. For nearly 100 years thero was no amendment to the constitution, without warfare, and the cost of an amendment to tho constitution was 100, 000 lives. On the other Wind, I do not1 mean to 'say that the constitution should be "changed with every whim and caprice of 'the people. I bellcVe that It should be amended only after careful, mature, 'de liberate thought. The old maxim, 'let justice be done though the heavens fall,' Is applicable and American In its sentiment."

RAILROADS ARE CUTTING ANNUAL CROP OF ICE While the ice Is not up to the usual standard of thickness, anticipating a short spell of zero weather, if any this winter, the railroads have commenced the annual harvest out along the lines in Nebraska. Tho Northwestern Is cutting eight-inch ice at Valentino and the Union Faclflo and Burlington six-inch Ico at North IMatto' and McCook, respectively. As a rule ut this- season of tho year tho railroad people are cutting twelvo and fifteen-Inch ice at these points. Farther west tho railroads are finding ice that Is from eighteen to twenty-four Inches in thickness. On ill three roads In Wyoming tho ico crop is about up to the normal In condition, but all through Nebraska it is short.

The "I Will" Man, Smashes Prices Realty Men to Help Secure a Regional Bank for This City George Wallace, John I,. McCngue and V. II. Myers were elected as members of a committee representing the Real Kstate exchange at a meeting nt noon at the Commercial club to take some action In i collaboration with the clearing house and , the Commercial club of Omaha with re gard to securing a regional bank In Omaha. The committee was authorized to act as it saw fit, just so that some Influent'al procedure was followed. The exchange went on record as of the opinion that Omaha should be given a regional bank In preference to either Kansas City, Lincoln or Denver- The bank at Kansas City would bo useless, according to tho members of tho ex change, because the bank at St. Louis could easily cover the territory a Kan sas City bank would' cover and the north central west would then be left without a bank closer than Chicago. Members of the exchange, believed that Omaha was In a propitious location for a regional bank and that some action should be taken because a bank would glvo em ployment to a couple of hundred persons and would thus benefit Omaha. An ef fort will bo made to have the commit tee of investigation for the government visit Omaha, but if that fails tho next best measure will be attempted, S. Arlon Lewis gave a talk during which he attempted to refute the argu ments advocating single tax against all land which were advanced by L. J. Qulnby, W. F. Baxter and Frank Odell at a previous meeting. Mr. Icls also broached on the subject of moving im migrants Into the west and onto the farm land as preferable to permitting them to remain in the congested cities of tho west John A. Swanson, Pres. of the Nobrnskn Clothing Company, The '7 Will" Man Says: "This half prlco sale eclipses anything over aUomptetl. Think nml Think Hard you havo never known tho equal of this sale. Assortments aro three times larger than olsowhero. Kvcry reduction nntl every cut in prtco la bona lido wo must clear out every Kail nnd Wlntor Suit and Over cunt. Wo must kep tho New Storo new." Lodges and societies entered in tho At. ,M. contest are adopting some very ef fective methods for collect'ng votes, fc'cv oral of them havo organlcd "I.abel clubs." These clubs meet once a week. At each meeting the members bring the labels they have collected. Tho women classify the labels, cartons and wrappers for each 'product, tie them In separate bundles and then . turn them over to a specially ap pointed committee with instructions to vote them for the organization for which the club is working. In this way thero nrn very few labels and voting coupons that are allowed to go to waste. Tho ef forts of tho club members cover thor oughly the district canvassed. Yesterday a woman who Is interested in welfare work, called on tho contest manager. She said that she would be clad to' use her efforts to assist some worthy organization to secure ono of the cash prizes. She was handed a list of the organizations entered in the content. After reading it carefully she selected the society1 for. which she thought her aid would be the most useful. Every day Inquiries come, to the contest department from people who want to know which would be the best orguntza tlon to assist. The content manager can not how any partiality. Kvcry organi zation is worthy of support. Tho organi zation that Interests you most is tho or ganization to which you should lend your aid. i The standing of tho contestants, which will be published in Sunday's Roe, will be computed up to 1 o'clock, noon, Fri day, January 9. Nominees are urged to get in all the votes they can up to that Women and Wet Feet. Cold and wet feet arc a dangerous combination especially to women, who aro more prono to kidney diseases than men. Congested kidneys come from a f-cold, and backache, rheumatism urinary irregularities and rheumatic forms are not unsunl results. Foley Kidney nits restore the regular and normal action of the kidneys and bladder, and so remove tho cause of the trouble. It Is an honest and curative medicine that always glvos results.

On be ing asked how he did It, he inado the following statemont. "I attribute the remarkable growth of my hair to tho use of tho following simple recipe, which any lady or gentleman can mix at homo: To a half pint of water add 1 or. ot bay rum, a small box of Bat-bo Compound and U ox. of glycerine. Apply to the scalp' two. or three times a week wltl the finger tips. It not only promotes the growth of tho hair, but removes dandruff, scalp humors and prevents tho hair from falling out. It darkens streak ed,' faded, gray hair and makes the hair eoft and glossy. These Ingredients can b purchased at any drug store at very little cost and mixed at home." Adver- i tltemtnt.
