Looking to The Future.

Henry Watterson, of the Louis.
Vile Courier-J ourDal believes that
in politics, as in other things, the
country should prepare for war
in time of peace, and he proceeds,
therefore, TO comment on the
chances which the Democrats
might have in the next presiden.
tiaI campaign. Mr.. Watterson
sent one of his newspaper com
missioners to the middle West to
feel the Democratic pulse The
result of these Investigations are
interesting, chiefly for the fact,
that as much as we may have been
inclined to doubt it, the Hon.
William jennings Bryan is not
dead. The Courier Journals re-
preventative says that the issues
uppermost in the Democratic mind
of that section are the railway
rate question, the trust question
and the tariff question. Out there
the people seem to have a wonder
full regard for Mr.. Roosevelt.
They consider HIM the greatest
statesmen of the age, yet their
admiration does not reach that
point where they are willing to
ienounce the old faith and accent
the new. From q careful survey
of the situation the Courier -Jonr
mi says that Mr.. Bryan is the
most popular and accepted leader
of his party and the sentiment
turns to him as the next candidate
for the nomination. There is an
intimation, or we might say even
declaration, that Mr.. Bryan will
not aspire to that position for IL
third time. He prefers to be re.
cognized as the power behind the
throne. He wants to dictate the
policy and he prefers to send
some other man to the slaughter.
And slaughter is what it will he
if we pin our hope to the men
.,,who have led us into the political
wilderness on former occasions.
Mr.. Watterson leaves no room

OLD CREAMERY MAN LEAVES
John j. King steps Up Higher in
Beatrice Company Man
aGement

John J. King, at present manager Of the
local branch of the Beatrice Creamery
company, leaves for Pueblo on Sunday to
take Temporary charge Of the Beatrice
Creamery company's plant at that place.
At the same time he becomes assistant
general manager of the Beatrice Creamery
company with headquarters at the general
offices, Lincoln, He will make his homs
eventually In Lincoln, where he will be sta
toned.
Mr.. King came to Omaha about four years
ago as president of the Nebraska Iowa
Creamery company which is now leased
by the Beatrice company. This was the
first large creamery established in Omaha
and did much to develop the creamery busi-
ness here.
For many years before he came to the
city to live, Mr.. King was interested In
the dairy bueiness near Omaha and ope-
rated a branch house here. He introduced
several innovations in the creamery and
dairy business in Omaha, being the first
person to place bottled milk and cream
upon the market. He also inaugurated the
use of the carton package for butter in
Omaha. While he was with the West Point
creamery he began the pasteurization of
milk and cream which had never been done
commercially in the state before

RECRUITS SCARCE At PRESENT
Only Twenty-FOur Secured in This
Territory During the Month
of September.

There has not been any great rush for
enlistment in the United States army at
the recruiting station in this city, and the
substations at Lincoln, Grand Island and
Sioux City during the month of September.
The total number of enlistments is twenty
four. There has been about twice that
number of applications, but the reflections
have been almost invariably for physical
dlsqualihcations. The moral character, of
the enlistments have been uniformly good.
There was one re-enlistment of a colored
soldier and number of white re-enlist-
ments.
A special effort is now being made to Sc
cure desirable enlistments for the signal
corps. Artisans are wanted, particularly
carpenters. The same physical require
ments will apply for enlistment in this
branch as in all other branches of the serv-
ice. The enlistment will be for three years,
and applicants must produce certificates
of moral character and references as to
their qualifications as artisans. The gem
eral pay is the same as for ordinary
branches OF the service, but all artisans
will also be allowed extra pay. Applicants
must be between q and IS years of age.
The new order relative to the physical
examination of recruits by the recruiting
officers will go into effect October l. How
ever, as a regular contract surgeon is at
tached to the Omaha recruiting depot, the
rule will not apply to this station.

At THE PLAY HOUSES.


"a Corner in Coffee" nt the Boyd,
Anyone who has followed Cyrus Town
send Brady along his lurid course through
history" will easily understand that his
pathway, so far as he has ventured into
lighter literature, is marked with much
of that same slap-bang, helter-skelter
method OF handling subjects that Is so
noticeable in his efforts to deal with
what more serious writer's have considered
in the light of established facts. 1t is hardly
to be expected that even so gifted man
as the eminent eastern divine could keep
his regiment OF typewriters going and
turn out good stuff all the time. This
much should be admitted in extenuation
of the offense he has committed In writ
ing a popular novel, and then partaking
in it's dramatization. Mr.. Tim Murphy
tries very hard to give life to its dun lines
and inane situations, but with little sue
cess. The theme of the play is older than
the modern stage. and it's working out is
along most conventional lines. In fact.
the main situation is borrowed directly
from Howard and Belasco, and, more's
the pity, has been sadly damaged in trans
planting. What humor it has is coarse.
Those who admire Mr.. Murphy and they
are numerous enough, will be glad to
know that this evening they will have a
chance to see him in something that is
worth his while. "a Corner in Coffee" is
not up to his standard The play offers
him but little opportunity for the exercise
of his unquestioned ability, and by it's
hating progress along course so plain
that 1t leaves nothing to the imagination,
1t really hampers and deadens any inter
| est that might be felt in its slow unfold
ing The character assumed by Mr. Muir
| ply is so out of perspective as TO be al
most grotesque and the others might easily

scarcely have been seriously conceived for
the people of a modern comedy. They more
nearly approach caricatures than por-
| traits.
This evening Mr., Murphy will appear as

| David Garrick," which has survived
through many years because of its merits,
and in which he finds ample scope for
his talent. A one-act comedy. Uncle
Ben; or, My Lady Help" will precede the

brilliant sermon. taking his text from the
Psalmist Come, then, that asked of the
Lord that will seek after"
His subject was THE Hearts Longing"
This" said the rabbi as a sacred evening
In each heart Each Of us has in his Utmost
heart longing, some ambition, some ideal.
which he has created for himself. The long
ing Of the psalmist was that he should live
n blameless life; that his reputation and
character should be spotless
Religion is Of supreme value It makes

Men who scoff fail to recognize it's high

the present time Is for a new temple. At a
recent meeting So. 200 was subscribed for the
purpose. The good work must be continued
and the fact accomplished. What we desire
we must seek after. No good comes of its

MONEY FOR PARK AND ROAD
One Thousand Dollars Promised by the
Beard Of Park Commissioners
CITY ENGINEER MAKES HIS PLEA
Explains How New City Charter Has
shortened Funds in His De-
Dartmsnt Three or -Four
Thousand Dollars.

Andrew Rosewater appeared before the
Park commission Friday morning and in
duced that body to appropriate $1,000
equally from the park and road funds to
help out the finances of his department for
the remainder of tho year. The engineer
showed that much work had been done by
his department for the park board, the
September bill alone amounting to 1922 The
charter requires the department to do work
for the Park commission without additional
compensation.
Mr.. Rosewater explained that owing to
charter tinkering his department is finan-
cially short to the extent of 5000 or
$1,000. with an immense amount of public
work on hand TO be looked after.
After some discussion the commission
decided II could allow $1,000, although,
with only $8.045 remaining in the park fund
and 1891 In the road fund and with the
Dodge street matchmaking ahead, it felt
pretty short itself.
