Memorial day was well observed in
Omaha as far as the laws OF Nebraska
apply to sports. The Western league sched-
ule did not give Omaha a game and none
of the leading amateur teams played here
that day. The golf committees at the
Omaha Field club refrained from holding
a golf tournament and the Field club base
ball team took day on No game was
played at Dietz park and vinton Street
park was deserted and all this on as pretty
a day for base ball as could have been or
dered. request had been sent to Mayor
Dahlman asking him to take action on the
matter, but he simply let things drift and
all obeyed the law without watching.

The South Omaha Country club was op-
ened with considerable ecat Thursday nf-
ternoon and evening, and the event was one
long to be remembered by the society folk
Of the Magic City. These people have here

for their golf games and outdoor dancing
parties, but now they have the wherewithal
right at home and judging from the enthu-

their opportunities. Most Of the members
OF the club have plenty Of time for golf
in the afternoon. This fact viii make the
club most popular place in the afternoon
and many Of the members will remain for
their dinner. The spot is most beautiful,
overlooking the river for miles.

The Omaha Rod and Gun club expects
to have Its new quarters ready for occu-
pancy before many weeks and the members
will then have a house well equipped for
the purposes for which Il was intended.
The old building will be fitted up and the
new club house soon constructed, a float
ing dock will be built to accommodate the
rise and fall Of the water OF the lake and
then the members can boat and fish and
swim from their own quarters. The new
location is west OF CORTLAND beach and as
soon as the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street
Railway company puts on It's summer
schedule Of cars to the beach will be easily
accessible to all. Fish are more abundant
than ever and many good catches have
been made.

All the Omaha outdoor clubs have now
been formally opened and are ready for
business. Last week saw the opening OF
the Country club and the South Omaha
Country club. Both these are In prsc-
tcally new quarters, for the Country club
has doubled the size Of It's house and re-
modelled It until It is hardly recognizable.
This was necessitated by the growing
popularity OF the club which made the old
quarters entirely inadequate for the needs
Of the members. with the culinary de-
partment doubled as well as the dining
room, porches and lodge rooms, the new
house will be amply SUFFICIENT for the needs

Golf was the principal sport of the day
and the members some of tho best

funds" exclaimed o. T.. Branson of
Mitchell, president of the South Dako-
Ia Bankers Association, in his address
before that body yesterday, in the
course ofan argument In favor of per.
hitting the banks OF the state to care
for funds Of the state, and receive the
profit accruing therefrom, instead OF
permitting the eastern financial insti
tutions to handle those funds.
The argument OF Mr.. Branson WAS
very pat, and much to the point, and 1t
was lordly applauded by the bankers
and others who heard it. Mr.. Bran
son is in q position TO plead for the
patronage OF home industries, for he
practices what he breaches. When
Mr.. Branson's bank at Mitchell needs
any printing done, 1t sends the job to
South Dakota printing house. The
record OF some of the bankers who APP
plauded Mr.. Branson's utteranees is
, not so clear, Ninety five percent OF
the bank printing Of South Dakota is
sent outside of the state, although
there are a number of South Dakota
printing houses which are capable Of
competing, and do compete in quality
aud price, with the best work turned
out by the best printing establishments
OF the larger cities.
The state funds should be deposited
ia the banks OF the state, Mr.. Bran
sons position on that point was well
taken. The printing OF the banks OF
the state should also be done by the
printing Offices OF the state. Instead,
In many instances bankers pass up
printers who are patrons of their In
stitutions In order to give their print
ing orders to outside establishments.

THR LAST WORD ON OUR "RARMoNY
SEHEMR


In reply to over column of comment
in the Dell Rapids Tribune on the
COURIER harmony scheme," it may
be sufficient to repeat only what the
| COURIER said last week. That scheme
was suggested at the time when it
seemed probable that the stalwarts had
won their fight and so was intended for
stalwart instead of insurgeut considera-
tion, This puts a very different phase
on the matter, With the insurgents
in complete control this scheme calls
for altogether too much concession on
their part, as we admitted last week.
But with the stalwarts in control at
the Sioux Falls convention, as we con
tidently expected would be the case
when that pan was put in type, we
submit that our plan had features OF
reasonableness, fairness and concilia-
torlness. In recognition of this it is
interesting to note that the Clay
county delegation, in their caucus at
Sioux Falls Monday night, favored the
renomlaation OF Congressman Martin
to his present position.
Bro. Nisbit uggests-somewhat un.
charitably TO say the least--that II
harmony Is what the machine
wants, 1t should induce Senator Kit
tredge to resign the senatorship and
thus make 1t clean sweep. p ossibly
the machine interests-we mean OF
course the old machine, not the new
twill be inclined to pay more atten-
tion to- snis suggestion than Bro.
Nisbit seems TO have faith to believe
II Is our firm belief that at the end
of his present term Senator Kittredge
will positively decline to be consider
ed candidate for reelection.
