WIDTH OF CERTAIN STREETS
Matter IL Taken tn by Twelfth ward
Federation of Improve
ment Clubs.

At the meeting of the Twelfth Ward
Federation of Improvement Clubs Friday
evening plans were drawn up to be pre-
scented to the city council whereby all
streets running east and west north of
Lake street and west of Twenty-fourth
street shall be made fifty feet wide and
the driveway twenty-five feet, with four
teen feet on each side for sidewalk and
parking purposes, and trees to be planted
nifty feet apart on both sides, the parking
to be between the walk and curb line.
The light committee has secured some
gasoline lamps to be located in the ward.
and also the promise of light on the
belt line crossing south of the chair fac
tory.
The street railway committee was in
structed to take up the question of car
line extensions in the ward with Superin-
tendent Smith, the company having al
ready signihed it's intention to extend the
Thirtieth' street line next spring.

PLEA FOR 0VERWORKED CLERK
as TraInmen Ought 20 BE
Protected.

~ wish the president had gone further
and urged that limit be placed on cthe
number of hours OF employment in rail-
road headquarters and Offices" remarked
an official at ope of the big headquarters
buildings in Omaha, who personally, is
strongly opposed to working clerks long
hours. ~ think the president is right in
recommending that the men who run the
trains be not overworked as to hours and,
seriously, think he could we'll afford to
investigate the situation in the big railroad
headquarters. It is not right that clerks,
who get small pay. should be compelled to
put in such long hours. In many instances
they are required to work all day and far
into the night. This is the case here in
Omaha and many a young man is paying
dear tribute to this custom with his very
vitality.
There is just this difference between
the clerk working overtime and the man
on the train or in the shops putting in
extra hours: The clerk does it without any
extra pay, while the railroader or shopman
gets extra pay--pay and half as they
call it. so, you see, the injustice to the
clerk is all the worse. After all, the me.
chanic who is protected by his union has
got the better of the bargain The me-
chanic gets better pay, works shorter hours
| and gets extra pay for working overtime.
| 81 wish the president had gone into this
| matter, too"

our LETTER SOx
Accommodation.

OMAHA, Dec 5.-To the Editor OF The
Bee: had no idea that Bishop Scannell
was such a humorist, for communicating
. good-looking young woman because she
acted as bridesmaid in high social affairs Is
indeed the very essence of joke ENcom-
munication, forsooth! Why, none know bet
ter than the reverend gentleman himself
that even In matters of violation of church
discipline itself-which this act cannot by
any stretch Of ecclesiastical authority be
called communications have been
through all time fiat failures. Luther was
excommunica ted. but the reformation
fiourished. Henry VIII was excommuni-
Gated. but England was not held to the
faith. Free Masonry was accommodated
but the body only grew stronger. History
does not record a single instance in which
| accommodations had any results, other
| than the opposite OF the effects desired
Theologically, too. an accommodation
cannot lle according to the best Roman
Catholic theologians, in any case where the
conscience OF the Roman Catholic approves
the act, as In DR.. McGlynn's case. Besides,
| the most the reverend bishop can do Is to
make, or attempt to make. his position "a
reserved case" and instruct his priests to
| refuse the women in question the sacra-
/ nlents. III lndI Ollenlfnd all THESE women
| have to do is to cross the ecclesiastical line
/ into another diocese where they will be ad-
mitted to the sacramento So these women
can enjoy the unique position Of being here
tics in one diocese and orthodox in another
OF course the whole thing is a tempest in
teapot which will quickly pass, and tend
only to bring the once dreaded anathema OF
communication into a current of con-
tempt.
! To common sense Catholics a calm, dlgni.
fed exhortation from the reverend bishop
to his flock to quietly discountenance such
functions as caused the irate utteranct
would be more just and productive of bet
ter results.
There is still another, and nome atholic
view of the bishops side. The parties e
the ceremony were both Professionals. pre-
sumably acting in accordance with law anC
their own eonsciences. Why should any
Catholic object to attending for the caus,
assigned any more than because the priu
cipals attended a Methodist church or wer,

Long as Tnis weather
Holds out.

Building will progress rapidly as long as

sIDETRACKED SHOW AGENT
Change of Call Hour by Practical

vexed man in Omaha fast Monday. He
registered Sunday evening at the Her Grand
and left call for 6 O'Clock Monday morn
ing, that he might be at the Union station
In time to have legal papers served ON those
in charge of the special car bearing the
"F1orodora" company from Nebraska City
to Fremont. A friend. Of Mr.. Murray,
whose name has not been released for
publication, overheard Murray's request
for the early call, so, for a joke, telephoned
the hotel Sunday evening TO have the call
changed to S o'clock. As the hotel people
believed Mr. Murray tclephoned the change
he was allowed to slIiTnber until o'clock
The result was the pFlorodora" car went
through the city and played its engage
ment at Fremont before Mr.. Murray could
get there and take legal action. This little
coup on the part of Murray's friend enabled
two Omaha men, interested in the Fremont
opera house, to give-Fhe performances at
Fremont as advertised, although attach
