October 27, Birthday of Great
Patriot, Appointed Ameri-'
canization Day by
K Proclamation.
P. A. Banowa. Correspondent
Lincoln, Oct. 11. (Special.l
Governor McKetvie has .appointed
Monday, October 27, the 61st anni
versary of the birth of President
Theodore Roosevelt, Americaniza
tion day by the following proclama
tion: The progress that ourtountry has
made as a nation has been greatest
during those periods when the peo
ple made the least departure from
the true principles of Americanism.
And today I think the greatest dan
ger lies in a tendency on the part of
"some to confuse the principles of the
republic with those of other less de
sirable' forms of government. So
in these times of confusion and un
certainty and unrest it is important
that we should seek to restore nor
mal conditions through a full un
derstanding and a conscientious ap
plication of the principles of the re
public. The republic has produced, many
. great statesmen. It could not be
otherwise, for the requirement of
this form of government are such
that success can only be-wrought
through the development of. virile,
sane, clear thinking, honest men,
who ' are able to comprehend the
great problems of the times.
Aniong these, Theodore Roosevelt
Stands out most prominently. He
was the type of true American who,
with a clear vision of the purposes
of the republic, repeatedly called
the people back to an understand-'-"ing
of the dangers that lurk in de
partures from the purposes of the
fundamental law that was written by
the fathers. Unfortunate it is that
we have not the benefits of his wise
counsel today, but we have in its
stead the memory of his unflagging
courage and his determination of
American purposes, to guide us and
stimulate our patriotic impulses and
efforts. . t
Therefore, in order that we- may
properly respect the name of ' this
great American, and, through a
study of his life, instill in the minds
of the people a new appreciation of
the meaning of true Americanism, I
hereby designate October 27, which
is the birthday of Theodore Roose
velt, Americanization Pay, to be
observed throughtout this state and
by all the people.

' and Have Outsider
" ' Tor Chief.

proclamation, in addition to giving
authority to Douglas county com
missioners to issue bonds to cover
rebuilding the court house and to
cover expense of new records de
stroyed ty the mob two weeks ago,
calls for an amendment to present
laws enabling the city of Omaha to
pay larger salaries to policemen and
borrow money sufficient to increase
the force and to remove restrictions
as to 'the chief of police being a
citizen of Omaha. ,
This was agreed upon after a con
ference with representatives of the
cityar.d county who called upon the
governor.
May Drop Eberstein.
i 'A bill to make it possible to hire
a chief of police for Omaha from
outside of the city will be included
in the legislation which the special
session of the legislature, called to
meet next Thursday, will be asked
to pass.
This statement was given out yes
terday by Acting Mayor Ure, who
was one of a conference in County
Attorney Shotwell's office Friday
afternoon. Governor McKelvie, the
county commissioners, John ' P.
Breen, Ben S. Baker and John Lat-
enser were also present.
Does this mean that Lhief Eber
stein is to be ousted?" Mr. Ure was
asked tfitfay.
"It will simply give us the power
to get a chief from outside the city
if we find one," he taid.
"Have you any special man in
mind for the place?"
"Not at present," he replied.
The law at present provides that
a chief of police of Omaha must
be a qualified elector of the city.
To Increase Pay.
The special session will be asked
also to grant the city of Omaha
authority to increase the "pay of po
licemen. The initial pay will be in
creased from $100 per month to $115
or $120, the maximum payjnerease
not being named yet.
This is to attract a higher class
of men to the department, and is
in line with the reorganization plans
already under way.
Another bill will give Omaha
power to raise funds" to meet any
increase in the police department
funds, which will be increased next
yeaT not less than $150.00.

This is the Base Burner size of
FERNWOOD ANTHRACITE (HARD) COAL
It is screened at the mine, rescreened in Omaha,
feeds easily to the fire and burns as Hard Coal
should.
A temporary surplus of this coal at the mines is due
to unusual demand for the furnace size (which sells
now in Omaha at $16.25 per' ton). The mines cut
the price to move the smaller coal. As a result this
Base Burner Coal is offered at a figure unheard of
for years, a price that will save you money for other
vital needs.
