but when they call upon the people for
time and money for the work. He closed
by proposing three cheers for the board,
which we're given with vigor.
In response on behalf OF the board, Mat
thew A. Hall thanked the club for this
tribute to them, and gave excuses for the
absent members OF the board. He said the
success Of the knights Of Ak-Sar-Ben was
due TO the hearty support given by the
business men Of the community. He made
a few hits at the other speakers on the
program and then referred to the Knights
Of Ak-Sar-Ben, speaking briefly of their
early history and past successes.
THE organization has done MUCH he
said, has made better feeling between
the state and the town, has improved the
business Of the community, and has ce-
mented the business interests. The future
of the order depends upon the business
men. 1t can only be kept going by the
united support Of the citizens. To obtain
the best results the people should come
with their subscriptions and not wait for
committees to visit them. The society
spent s4O,0 900 in the last year, nearly all
within Omaha for labor and merchandise.
The business men should talk the matter
up. In stead of 1000 member we should
have $500. The men are here. The Board
Of Governors would like to be located down
In the business center. We know of no
reason why a building large enough should
not be built downtown. Such a change
would be a ten-strike for the organization
and in a short time some sort Of an ar
rangement may be preached"
Men who Make cities.
AS next speaker G. NJ. Hitchcock re-
sponded to the toast, 1.-THE Men Who Make
Cities" He said in part: There is an old
saying that God made the country, but
mar made the town. Nothing Is so marked
in the progress OF the last fifty years al
the growth OF our cities. They are CROWNS
more rapidly than the best wishers Of the
country could wish. Population and capita
nre being centralized. Public spirit II
cities is much like patriotism to a country
! The men who now count much in a city ar,
like those who counted much in the earl,
history of the o~ountry-wise men who will
light for their rights. These are the mel
who are making Omaha today, who ar,
willing to take upon their shoulders a par
Of the public work In addition to their pri
vate business. Much that has been accom-
plished in Omaha in the last eight year
has been done through the example set b.
the order, as much as through the actua
work done by the society. 1t has been al
example to all Of the people of the com
munity."
A telegram Of regret was read from Ed P
Smith, and e. G.. McGilton. lieutenant gov
ernor-elect, was introduced. Mr.. McGiltol
said that It is the duty of each man to hol,
up the hands of the Ak-Sar-Ben and tn
Commercial club. He continued: ION
thing the state must accomplish before 1
takes its proper place in the sisterhood o
states, and that is to adopt a new consti
tuition, one under which Nebraska may be
come one Of the great states. 1t is a din
cult thing to amend a constitution. On

cARELESSNESS BRINGS DEATH
verdict of the Jury in n
Case of H. L. Nc
EIdOn. .,.

The coroner's Jury in the inquest held
yesterday afternoon over the remains Of
H. L. McEldon, who died Friday afternoon
from injuries received by being struck by
a motor car that morning, brought in a
verdict that the deceased had come to
his death by his own carelessness. Nc
Eldon, while standing beside the tracks
at Sixteenth and Douglas streets, was
struck by a northbound electric car. He
had evidently misjudged the distance he
was standing from the track and stood
still, while the vestibule of the car passed
him. The body OF the car, which projects
several inches further out than the vesti-
bule, struck him in the shoulder and side.
Funeral services over the remains were
held at the rooms of the coroner Monday
afternoon. Rev. Connolly officiating, after
which interment occurred at Forest Lawn
cemetery.

majority OF the people. We should impress
upon the members of the legislature the
necessity for a constitutional convention.
l will do all / can to further this project"
His Eye on the Auditorium.
Rev. E.. F. Trefz then responded to the
toast, THE Greater Ak-Sar-Ben." He
said:
Must Ak-Sar-Ben confne itself only to
the fall festivities, or Is 1t large enough
to take a step orward. 1 believe it is.
Here is an institution which interests not
only our business life, but our social life
and relaxation. When l heard that the
society contemplated a building downtown
l saw danger. why not avoid a mistake
and follow the thought of concentration ?
Write in gold above the Auditorium the
words, 'Ak-Sar-Ben Castle and let it go
at that"
The last speaker, w. S. Summers, spoke
Of The Demand of Today" He said in
part:
Man filled with hopes of high future
never stops to look at the picture on the
dusty lid OF oblivion. At times nations
have had too small a base and investiga-
ton and advancement have caused their
downfall. Today every man may be a
Moses; today every man may be a Luther;
today he may stand over against all
dogmas and all tradition. Investigation Is
the piledriver of progress. Something fol
nothing is a delusion. The man who cheats
: himself commits the greatest fraud. Knowl.
1 edge is a commission Of dominion; it en-.
riches the mind and places man on the
promontory of truth"
The meeting closed with an expression
O. thanks by the POSTMASTER to those whit
spoke.

MAYOR COCHRANE
 THANKS AGE HERALD
TUSCALoOSA'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE SAYS THE AGE-HERALD HAS DONE MUCH TOWARD UPBUILD- ING THE DRUID CITY.
Tuscaloosa, February 2S.

Tuscaloosa, February 2S To the Editor of The Age -Herad:
 I desire to state that I have read with great interest and pleasure the many articles concerning Tuscaloosa in your valuable journal and while these items are only mentioned in the way of news for your many readers, Tuscaloosa is greatly benefited by the liberal spirit of your paper.
 I am the recipient of frequent letters from all over the country, and l feel that this Is due largely to the articles that appear in the out-of-town papers,
 The Age-Herald deserves a large pa- tronage in Tuscaloosa, and I believe our citizens join me in wishing you every success: st94
 The visits of your correspondents and reporters are always welcome. Tuscaloosa is just on the eve of material growth and prosperity.
 It seems that the time has at last come for us to realize the benefit from our natural advantages.
 "The locks on the Warrior river are al- most completed, and when they are we will have a navigable river the year round, which will furnish cheap trans portation to all points of the globe for iron and coal and will attract parties in- terested along these lines.
 There are many other advantages to which I might allude, but this would be out of place. my object being only to express my appreciation for all the kind words spoken of our city through the columns of your excellent journal.
 It does not injure Birmingham to speak well of other places In Alabama; on the contrary, 1t strengthens her and brings about kinder and more cordial feeling throughout the State.
 There are few towns and not a single county in Alabama which has not some of their people located in Birmingham, and many parents still living in rural districts throughout the State have chill dren living there to whom their hearts are bound by ties stronger than bands of steel and iron.
 We are all proud of Birmingham and rejoice in her strength. Wishing you ev- cry success. I am very sincerely yours,
 VIM. G. COCHRANE, Mayor.
