'BREENS BID TO SALOONS
City Attorney Reads the Law So They Gan
Be Open Election Day.
DRINKS WILL Be AVAILABLE FOR VOTERS
Benson's Running Mate on FOntanene
Ticket Evidently Playing for
support Of BrORtch's
ward Heelera.

The saloons will be open in Omaha all
day during the primary election today
City Attorney Breen has given verbal
opinion that there is nothing in the law
to require the closing of saloons on pri-
mary election day. Acting In conformity
Mayor zimman gave instructions TO Chief
of Police Donahue TO permit the saloons to
be open Tuesday The question was raised
Saturday and the city attorney proceeded
TO look up the statutes He reported that
he could find nothing forbidding saloons
doing business during the conduct of the
primaries, although the supreme court has
held that the affair is in all respects ON
cial and TO be viewed precisely as a gen.
eral election.
This ruling threatens to discomfit the
police, which Is short of men and would
have all it could do TO take care OF the
election without the disturbances that flow
from the liquor drinking. Breen's action
IL regarded about the city hall as an open
bid for the saloon vote for himself and
for Benson, with whom he is running for
nomination on the same Fontanelle ticket.

reply to questions and do errands. They
are not expected to quell any riots at 50

the Polls Today.
BOTH PARTIES HOLD C, ssSG RALLIES
Democrats Call on omaha Orators TO
cheer Them UP--List Of Polling
Places in the various
city wards.

Practically all other matters in South
Omaha gave way last night before the all
absorbing topic Of the municipal election.
The city council had a short session and
adjourned until the election Is over. The
Board of Education also adjourned without
transacting any business. The attention
OF the men of both parties was taken by
the two rallies, the democratic rally at
workmen temple and the republican rally
at Sinkule's hall.
The republicans ittingly brought a close
to their campaign in a rousing meeting at
sinkule's hall. All of the candidates were
there and gave expression to their views,
which to all appearances satisfied their
listeners.
The democratic rally was the party's
greatest effort of the campaign. @. NJ
Hitchcock and James C. Dahlman Of
Omaha were the principal speakers. Mr..
Hitchcock argued at length on the funda-
mental principles of the party, taking credit
to the theories Of his party for all the
prosperity which has resulted from the
republican administration since 1895
About o. clock a band which had been
playing on the streets arrived at the hall,
followed by about 100 more to add TO tho
crowd. This delegation was received with
cheers, and the speeches were stopped until
It had gained admission to the hall.
James c. Dahlman spoke briefly OF the
aspects of the campaign, both In Omaha and
South Omaha. After him the candidates
/ were given a chance to speak. Thomas
| Hector spoke at length.
| All the details of the election have beer
arranged. The police officers will be or

MILlER's MuRDERERs.

It is the hope of every man in Clat-
sop county that Sheriff Pomeroy may
be able to reach the issue Of final con-
viction in the case of the men who
abused, robbed and murdered John
D. Miller in this county, last week.
The death of the victim is to be de-
plored in more ways than one. partic-
ularly, that now his evidence as to the
identity of the foul hounds that be-
set him, will not be available. The
testimony must. of necessity, be pure
ly circmstantial, yet the hope is not
vain. that 1t may be SO clear and
damning as to warrant the imposition
of life sentence of Imprisonment. 1t
was a foul and miserable crime and
merits the utmost rigor Of the law.
Good luck to the sheriff and every Of
fieer who has part and parcel in the
work OF reprisal against the merciless
men who did the deed.

THAT $4,000 MONUMENT.

Let every Clatsop citizen take hand
In influencing Congress, through Ore
gon's senator's at Washington, In be-
half Of that modest appropriation for
the erection Of a monument on the
site Of Fort Clatsop, in this county.
1t is essential that all should do what
they may to emphasize the deep in
terest felt here in the historic spots
for which this county should be IA
nous. The Chamber of Commerce, all
the civic and fraternal bodies, the
very school children and their teach
ers; everybody with a living interest
in the city, county and state, and in
the glorles of the great past, should
devise some method Of contributing to
this real, popular cause.

THOSE FIFTEEN AMENDMENTS.

The idea Of calling a public meeting
for the discussion of the fifteen new
amendments to the charter Of Astoria,
Is a good one, though 1t goes without
saying that anything like general dis
cussion could not be had at single
session; there would have TO be ad-
journed meetings, and we doubt IL the
popular interest would hold out for
very many. II is the rule Of munich
pal life nowadays to remain indif-
ferent to all such matters until the
hour of reaction comes after the laws
have been enacted. 1t is one Of the
follies Of the times. We shall be glad
to see an Intelligent review Of the
amendments in an open mass-meet-
ing and will do all possible to further
the attainment of a right and whole

ures in the public mind.

A BLACK YEAR.

BY way OF railway and marine dis
asters, floor, fire. famine and mine hor-
rors, earthquakes and criminal violence
in every conceivable form, 1906 seems
TO be making the star record of the
young century. May the tide of suf-
fering, loss and untoward death turn
with the dawn of the new year. and
give mankind surcease from the
dreary volume now encompassing the
world. or a certainty, there is always
the happy old standard Of the super
abudance of good TO measure down the
dismal record OF the year. but in the
holocaust OF evil very few of us ever
think to use II. The rule of the times,
as we have known them. has always
been that the blessings have invar-
iably discounted the burdens of life.
and We believe most people are willing
to nourish the comfortable calcula-
tion; so. black as the year has been.
there is ample OF light and hope and
peace and comfort and cheer. to coun-
tar-balance It's sum Of wretchedness.

NURSING THE GRIEVANCE.

The coiored people OF the country
have a genuine grievance. To the
normal negro this is an unqualified
blessing; without a grievance he is at
n distinct loss. OF course, the edu-
Gated colored man or woman is able
to make due estimate of such af-
fiictions and to treat them as other
people do, with honest common sense,
forbearance and philosophy; but the
ordinary ignorant, un-aspiring. every
day negro simply revels in the pos
session Of a real affiiction, especially
It 1t is some one else's. Those who
know the race in its real simplicity,
are aware of this foible and usually
treat 1t with kindly consideration. and
not with unfeeling contempt.
The outcome of the present over
wrought tension among the blacks in
the matter of the discharge of the
three colored regiments from the
United States army, depends largely
on the good sense of the leaders
among the race. II their counsel is
moderate and sensible and they do
not use their place and influence to
stir up the excitable and unreasoning
nature Of their followers, the whole
matter will die down and become a
thing Of the past, but II they employ
their talents and prerogatives, to urge
resentment, retaliation and resistance,
they, and the race, are doomed to bit
terer disappointment than they have
ever known before The white people
Of America are not the enemies of
the negro in any sense, when the ne
gro is orderly, law abiding and quiet,
but they know the negro to the core
have borne vast deal from him, and
will not take patiently to undue de-
mands, and not at all to threats. The
negro is no better than the white mar,
and the white man has his own in
finite burden Of troubles to face and
live down, and the black man can do
the same, or take the rest of it, as
1t shall come at his own behest.

BADLY NEEDED.

Alvin H. Sanders, editor of the
Breeders Gazette and chairman Of
the American Reciprocal Tariff League
in opening his address at the recent
live stock conference on foreign mar
kets held at Kansas City, said:
Tive cattle and hogs have been
selling in Germany for year past at
approximately fifteen cents per pound,
Horse meat and dog sausage enter in
to the daily diet of the people. In
the city of Paris horse steak is also
regularly handled and frugal house,
wives buy legs and wings Of chickens
because they cannot afford a whole
fowl or a cut of beef. These two
countries alone have a population of
ninety-nine million people; a large
proportion of whom are now practic-
ally meatless. That is one side Of
the picture. What is the reverse?
dressed beef Is going out Of our
Chicago packing houses at an average
price Of about 615 cents per pound. A
large supply of ordinary stock daily
crosses the scales in our leading
markets at $s,25@45O per cwt. This

quirements of our Eastern and English
