Entertainment Complimentary to
Omaha COmmerci College
Eleven.

The public entertainment given at the
Lyric theater in the RohTbough block Fri
day evening in honor of the Omaha Com
mercinl college foot ball team, fresh from
its laurels as the champions of the state,
was graced with a large attendance in
spite of the snowy night.
The program opened with a selection by
the college orchestra, under the leadership
Of Mrs. Lena Ellsworth Dale, which was
excellently given. NJ. @. Rohrbough. prcsi-
dent OF the college, theE spoke briefly of
the purpose of the entertainment and ad-
dressed his remarks frequently to the mem
bers of the foot ball team, who occupied
the lower boxes on each side of the stage.
He thought the question of foot ball was a
debatable one as an accessory to school
work. yet at the same time there was no
question as 10 the game affording a pleas
ing relaxation from study. THE members
Of the Omaha Commercial college team"
he said "wvre perfect gentlemen" and he
could attest to the fact that their love
of foot bah did not interfere with their
studies. on the contrary, they were all
among the best and brightest pupils of the
college. He thanked the members for the
record they had made as champions Of the
state of Nebraska, and the honor their
general conduct reflected upon the college.
The college chorus, assisted by the Hans
com Park church choir, sang with pleasing
effect "Oh, Italia Beloved
Superintendent W. NJ Davidson OF the
omaha public schools followed with a short
address on college Athletics" in which
he said: II am a firm believer in healthful
| sports in our high schools, colleges and
universities, such as will particularly call
out the energy, manhood and girlhood Of
/ the students. There are certain ethical
principles connected with foot BALL It
! teaches the player implicit obedience,
| whereby the player subordinates his ind-
viduality to the direction of the captain
OF his team. II has an impelling interest
and is the one great sport which enllvens
the entire student body and brings the

ality. | do not believe in that character

AGAINST RATE BILL
Five Great Labor Organizations Con-
nected With the Railways Present
Protest to Roosevelt Against tho
Proposed Rate Legislation.

Washington. Nov. 14.-An earnest
protest was made te, the president to-
day against the proposed railroad
freight rate legislation. The protest
was filed by representatives. Of five la
Dor organizations connected with rail-
roading, engineers, flremen, conductors.
switchmen and trailmen. Members OF
the delegation which called on the pres-
ident represented the several organiza-
tions. They pointed out to him that
railroad rate legislation logically meant
lowering of rates. This they contended
will be followed by lessening Of the.
earning power Of the railroads and
consequently reduction, eventually, Of
the wages Of railroad employees.
President Roosevelt assured the DEL
.egation that 1t was his purpose that
all classes of railroads, shippers and
employees, should have perfectly
fadF treatment. He was OF. the opinion
the proposed legislation would not
mean reduction necessarily in rail-
road rates and suggested the members
o fthe delegation were proceeding on a,
wrong understanding OF the situation.

The Road Drag in Crawford.
rCharter Oak Times.1

[Charter Oak Times.1
The King drag has been persistent
~ used on the streets of Charter Oak
this season, and as a result the effect
OF rain on them has been reduced to a
minimum. Although the rain last Sat
urday was very soaking one. the mud
in the streets was not deep and 1t
dried rapidly. We are told that the
roads in the country were worse than
those in town. while heretofore they
have always been ma1ddier in town.
The doctors tell us there are few
farmers who have used the drag on
the roads. adjoining their farms, and
1t is really q relief to strike one OF
those roads. It seems too bad that
something cannot be done to get farm
ers to do more dragging, for surely
the return is great. Ruts, ridges, and
rough roads rarely appear where the
King drag is used, and the expense Of
1t Is but little.a

Was hington, Nov. 14-The supreme

case tf the Union Refrigerator Tran

OF Kentucky, holding that the cars
owned by the company and used in
other states can not be taxed in that

Thi,, case grew out OF an effort on
the part Of the authorities of Jeffer-
son county, Kentucky. to tax the 1000
refrig orator cars OF the company. 1t
was insisted by the company that as
It's csrs are used in foreign commerce

Sta ting the case, Justice Brown said:
The adoption Of a general rule that
tangible property in other states may
be taxed at the domicile OF the owner
involves possibilities OF an extremely
serious character. Not only would 1t
authorize the taxation Of furniture and
other property kert at country houses
In other states, but OF that enormous
mass Of personal property belonging to
