OMAHA SCHOOL BOARD
Two years ago, when the CITIZENS' TICKET was before
the voters, and who were elected, the World-Herald said edi
torially October 15th:
The school board ticket presented with the indorsement of the citizens' com
mittee is one of exceptional merit. It cannot fail to appeal forcefully for the support
of every v6ter, man or woman, whose sole concern in the school board election is tne
welfare of the Omaha public schools. , ...
On the citizens' ticket is represented the very best business and professional abil
ity to be found in Omaha. ' ' , a
. The citizens' committee says truly: "These candidates are well known, of excep-
tional character and demonstrated capacity, and will have the confidence of all the
people of Omaha who desire the best service in public office. These men yielded to the
call of duty at considerable sacrifice to their personal affairs, and the people of the
city will do well to take advantage of this opportunity. .
Especially valuable is this advice of the committee to the voters: "It is not suf
ficient to elect one or two good men. To be sure of your board you must CONCEN
TRATE YOUR VOTE VOTE FOR EIGHT." ., .
, Seldom if ever before have the people of Omaha had the opportunity to call to
their service men of such notable ability and standing. The position is purely one of
service. It carries no salary. It confers no high honor. It entails much hard work and
calls for the fullest measure of unselfish devotion. The candidates on the citizens'
ticket are not self-seekers. They are not eager to use the school board for their pri
vate benefit or for the benefit of their friends, or to make of it a stepping stone to
higher office or a tool of politics. Their one motive is to give their ability and energy
to bringing about a betterment in the conduct of school affairs.
The situation is squarely up to Omaha voters. They have the chance to put their
public schools in the hands of men whose service $100,000 a year could not hire, but
who are ready to give their services for nothing. They have the chance, by doing so,
to take our school control out of ward politics and gang politics and to lift it above the
plane of petty personalities and spites and grudges and favoritism.
What do you think of it, Mr. and Mrs. Voter? Do you want your schools man
aged by the biggest and ablest men in Omaha J -
Thes. statement, ar. equally applicable and true today, when eight men are to
be elected. The slogan is
SELF-SEEKERS TO THE REAR
The following successful men are not seeking the position,
but they have been conscripted, and will, if elected, give the voters ..
of Omaha efficient service:

A REAL- ATTORNEY .GENERAL
Prohibition vs. High License
- W.J. Connell, who came to Omaha with the birth of Nebras
ka as a state and has witnessed the growth and development of
Omaha from a town of less than 15,000 people to a magnificent
city of over l60,000 inhabitants, uponbeing interviewed as to his
views of prohibition, responded that he. had come to feel a good
deal like the old Quaker who said to his better half, "Wife, I
do believe everybody has gone crazy except me and thee ! and at
times I have my doubts if we are not a little bit off in the upper
story." Notwithstanding these doubts, Mr. Connell's views are
as follows :
"I favor the present high license system over proposed abso-,
lute prohibition for the following reasons:
"First Our present high license law is in effect a local op
tion law. -s .''
"Second Under the present high license system, where
public sentiment will sustain prohibition, you can have pro
hibition. This is true of every county in Nebraska, under exist
ing law. Where the sentiment of the people in any city or
county does not sustain prohibition this attempt to enforce it
will be a dismal failure.
"Third It is better to have regulation of the liquor traffic
than bootlegging, which is certain to follow attempted pro
hibition. "Fourth Certain evils have existed from time immemo
rial, and will continue to exist in some form for all time to come.
They can be regulated, but not wiped out by law or constitu
tional amendments. - .,
"Fifth There is less danger from an open fire that can be
). seen and kept within proper control than from a concealed or
smothered fire.
"Sixth What a person wants, they will have.
', "Seventh To be denied anything only creates the desire
and increases the determination to have it anyhow.
"Eighth You can't legislate goodness into anybody.
"Ninth It is education, not legislation, that makes people
better. The teaching of the ill-effects of alcohol on the human
system, as now taught in our public schools, is doing more for
the cause of temperance than all the prohibition agitators in
america.
"Tenth It is excess in the use of anything, not the thing itself, that cause.
'nUr?'Eleventh More people are Injured and greater harm is done the human race
by over-eating than by over-drinking. Is the next move to be a regulation of our
diet by law? Where -are the personal rights of the individual to commence and
where will the fanatical movements now under way and in prospect end?
"Twelfth Revenue from the authorized regulation of the liquor traffic is far
better than the burden of taxation under a non-enf orcible prohibitory amendment.
"Thirteenth We should first get out from under the harrow of existing debt
and taxation before making this jump to prohibition. ... .
"Fourteenth We should not vote unnecessary and crushing burdens on our
selves, Where no compensating benefits will result.
"Fifteenth Omaha has prospered under the present high-license system, and
Nebraska unoer existing conditions has grown to a magnificent State. Why sand-
bag both City and State?"
"8"
