GOLF Is NOT THE ONLY CANE
Field Club Members Want Recognition fer
Other Outdoor Sports
DEBATE PROMISED At ANNUAL MEETING
Insurgents who DO Not m Ex-
elusive Policy of Last Year
VIII Make Demand for
Change.

When the members Of the Omaha Field
club meet Wednesday evening at the Com
merciRl club rooms to elect ofhcers there
will probably be a lively contest between
the admirers Of golf and those members
who desire the club to promote other forms
Of athletic sport as well. The champions
Of the general athletic games are headed
by John Francis Of the Burlington railroad
and others who joined the club at its or
ganization. These men play golf to a GER
tain extent, but they do not want the Field
club limited in its work to that one game
and have endeavored TO keep alive a num-
Der Of sports since the grounds we're
opened. Lysle !. Abbott, who is energetic
in his position on this. says.
" expect there will be a contest over
the election Of officers, especially the seven
members Of the board Of trustees, who will
have the policy Of the club in charge for
the coming year. When the club was or
gained II was with the understanding that
It would not be limited to golf. but for the
last year it has practically done nothing
but promote this game. Now. / am an ad-
mirer Of base ball and have tried to main
tain a club. When we proposed to pur-
chase balls the board was very reluctant
TO issue the money, the crlcketers have
found the same dihhculty and the admirers
Of lawn tennis have had to fight for what
they needed. At the same time we have
spent $1,000 10 secure golf links and have
kept men watering the greens at a cost
Of $40 a day. Golf is all right. but that is
not the only game, and we are determined
to see IL the Members will stand for such
discrimination II costs money to main
tain golf links and no one objects TO an
expenditure Of an amount necessary 10
keep up the grounds as they were first
planned, but we do object 20 spending
money for golf TO the exclusion Of all other
games, and we are going to make this an
issue in the coming election"
At the meeting there are to be elected
a president, vice president. secretary.
treasurer and seven directors. For presi-
dent there have been mentioned W. S. Sun
d~erland. Jay D. Foster, Lysle /. Abbott and
c. K. UrquhaTt.
II Abbott is chosen president a new vice
president will have to be elected. Byron
Hastings, the president secretary. has no
opposition for that place and neither has
Philip Potter, the treasurer. The member
ship is now 500, the legal limit. and there
is a waiting list. II is expected that a few
Of the members will resign and that a
number Of new ones will be elected after
the annual meeting.

Only those who know Sheriff John Power

without awakening her or any one else

The father was taken into custody late

OVERWORK ARMY OFFICERS

There in considerable complaint among
officers Of the army stationed at the head
quarters Of the Department Of the Mis-
souri that this department does not re-
Give the attention from the War depart
men. its importance would seem TO Jus
tfJ.
The ofheers in responsible positions in
the department are 10th to talk of the
feeling which they hold and it is hard TO
get an expression from them upon the
subject. but they are not always close
mouthed. and officers who occasionally visit
headquarters are not so backward of speak
ing Of the feeling which they find here
on the subject. One of these visiting on
GERS. speaking Of the matter, said the other
day:
There is no doubt that the officers at
the headquarters Of the Department Of the
Missouri feel that the department is
SIGHTED by the War department. An in
speciion Of the rosters OF the other de-
partments viii show that the general stahs
OF those departments are better filled than
those Of the Department Of the Missouri.
II is nothing unusual at Omaha to find one
man holding three or four general stan
positions. and this man is often one OF the
personal aides Of the commanding general
This means that he can only give superb
cial attention to the Work in any OF the
departments. leaving the work to be done
by clerks, who are more or less familiar
with the routine, but have no personal re-
sponsibility such as Is required Of the on
Ger. When the troops were all in the Phil
ippines many Of the departments were in
the same condition. but since the return
Of a large number OF those troops and the
releasing Of stan officers there is little or
no excuse for the condition at Omaha. 1t
does not exist in other departments.

One Of the onhcers stationed at head
cur tiers said 10 me that 1t seems that the
Department Of the Missouri must take q
position subordinate 10 almost every other
department in the country and that the
War department seems 10 consider a de-
partment OF the army important according

quarters are located, regardless OF tho

that in the Department Of the Lakes, WHOSE

while that department has neither the
number OF troops nor the number OF posts
within its borders as those in this depart
ment. At the present time there Is muef

Why Should They

Why should people took for free
newspapers any more than they look
tor free cigars, free umbrellas, free
walking sticks, free collars, free cuff
or free beefsteaks ? Every copy OF a
newspaper is a product which costs
money. The tailor, the tobaccOnist

not called on to supply free copies Of
the products which they handle. The
people who are aggrieved il they can,
not get a free copy of a newspaper
would not think of struggling for q
place on the free list of a grocery
store, dry goods store or butchers
shop. 1t is the principle more than
the cost of the free newspaper idea
which is repugnant to all sound husi-
ness notions. There is scarcely a
newspaper in the country which does
not maintain free list for the bene-
e of people who are well able to pay
