than last fall says David Cole. produce
merchant They fear the law will be read
&c mean that all poultry placed in cold
storage must be drawn and consequently
are not buying heavily. Local prices have
been running lower than last fall and
prices In the east have been considerably
lower. AZ present there is q congestion on
the eastern markets and the tendency IL
for further decline.
This agitation for drawn poultry Is un-
Justly hurting the business" says David
Cole; "unjustly because as a matter Of
fact undrawn poultry keeps better in
storage than the drawn. and any cold
storage expert knows that. An undrawn
fowl can be kept absolutely pure In cold
storage, but when you break the skin the
meat absoTbs all impurities that may be
In the air, even though the flesh IL
frozen"
Another local poultry dealer says the rea-

Members OF the South Omaha Coal eS-

to answer to an Indictment which was
voted by the grand jury against the al
legged South Omaha Coal trust Tuesday
evening. Ofhcials in charge of the grand
Jury refused to discuss the matter Wednes-
day morning, but the report that a bill
similar to the one recently voted against
the Omaha dealers had been voted against
the South Omaha dealers was persistent,
and some Of the Magic City dealers are
said to be arranging for bonds. The grand
jury has taken considerable evidence in the
South Omaha case showing the dealers Of
that city are organized into coal ex-
change similar to the one existing In
Omaha.
The indictment is said TO include a score
or more prominent South omahans.
The indictment against the Omaha deal
ers was returned about a week ago. The
evidence taken by deposition by County
Attorney slabaugh in the civil suit In
Judge Troup's court, which Is supposed to
be practically the same as that taken be-

our LETTER SSI
The really vital Question.


To the Editor OF The Bee: The real |
issue before the voters Of Douglas county |
at the coming election so far as the legis- |
latlve ticket Is concerned is the question. |
shall the railroads pay their share OF the
city taxes OF Omaha and South OmahaT
The Bee has pointed out, what is apparent
TO every observer. that the force Of the
combined railroads are masked behind the
candidates OF the democratic party, and
the money OF the railroads is to be spent
freely in the interests Of the democratic
ticket. The reason for this is apparent.
The republican state platform promises to
make the railroads pay their share OF mu-
ncipal taxes throughout the state. The
democratic platform Is silent on that ques-
tion and the managers OF the democratic
party have taken advantage OF that fact
to enlist the support OF the railroads for
their ticket.
Not in years has a question been pre-
sented that so vitality affects the interests
Of every taxpayer big and little, in
Omaha and South Omaha, and the other
towns OF the state. as the question the
voters must decide next Tuesday Shall
the terminals Of the railroad companies
pay their share OF the city and town
tsxes7
| Today. while the small home owner pays
800 to 5000 per year on his g. 0oO home the
railroads pay but a few cents per year on
1900 worth OF terminal property. II the
taxpayers of Omaha and South Omaha
send down to the legislature the twelve
republicans standing on the republican
platform all this will be changed, ana the
small taxpayer ss well as the large lob
Der and real estate owner will save one
dollar in every FIVE dollars he now pays into
the city treasury.
| The efforts OF The Bee to bring this fact
home to every voter deserves the thanks
Of the people, but It is pertinent to inquire
why It is not receiving the aid ana CO.
operation OF those most vitality interested.
What is the Real Estate exchange doing?
Where are the men who have worked for
equal taxation for the last five years?
| Now that the taxing OF terminals, for
which they have fought Is about TO be
realized, are these people going to lay
down and let the opportunity slip from
| their grasp. One thing is certain, this re-
form can only be accomplished by the
election OF the republican delegation from
Douglas county 10 the legislature A
democratic victory sounds the death knoll
of taxation for city purposes OF railroad
terminals not only for this year. but
for years to come. II the Real Estate ex-
change and the organizations that have CO.
operated with them in the past are in
earnest now is the time TO act
Let them rest assured the railroads are
not asleep.

HtuEAN OuA hEAAhs
OMAHA, Oct 20-To the Editor OF The
Bee: The Bee reports Mr.. Bryan as hav-
ing said in Chicago yesterday that govern
ment ownership OF railroads will be the
democratic issue in 1908. take this to be
an open challenge TO the democracy Of the
country north and south to meet that quee-
ton in the national convention Of that
year.
Since the Madison Square speech Mr..
Bryan has been very busy with explana-
tions and apologies about that speech, in
which he has publicly said many times
that his views OF government ownership
OF railroads were merely his personal
views, and that he had no desire OF in
tention of pressing them as an issue on
the democratic party in 1908. He nov drops
the mask behind which he has bee,. mas
querading for months and takes a high
jump to the front for a measure of CEN
tralization Of power in the federal govern
ment and for state socialism and paternal-
| ism. which, II ever achieved. will mark
the end Of free government in the United
States.
! The plain truth about Il is that Mr..
Bryan has been scared out Of his boots
by HIS Satanic Majesty. jr.. william r.
Hearst, who IL now his rival for the presi-
Dental nomination in 1903. The New York
Homestake political desperate and outlaw
has been stealing his thunder as the
original apostle, next TO Eugene V. Debs
OF revolutionary discomfort In the richest
and most prosperous country on the planet
He has smoked Mr.. Bryan out OF his hole,
which was so large that no could not pull
Il in after him, and the odors Of hot sui
phur between these old twins in
the work Of destroying the democratic
party will soon permeate the air. In other
words, II is too evident for discussion that
our own very uncommon "commoner,' -
whom Mayor Dahlman and Candidate
Hitchcock think "the greatest man in the
world" has collapsed big hue under the
internal pressure Of his burning ambition
to be president Of the United statea
Mr. Bryan, who has led his party TO
continued defeat and disaster, is, like
John Browns soul, still marching on to
other inglorious oonquests, which will In
clude, on the 9th OF next November the
: following triumph:
First-The election OF a republican house
of representatives which would have been
democratic beyond . reasonable doubt II
he had continued his $4,000 tour abroad
until after the election, or II he had KEEP,
his eloquent mouth shut after he got home
second-The election OF Sheldon and al
but one on the republican state ticket, and
. republican legislature.
Third-The election of Mr.. Kennedy Al
: his own successor in congress and a full
republican delegation from this state II
: that body. GEORGE L. MILLER.

? much influence in advocating the election
