OUR LETTER BOX


OMAHA Jan. $40 the Editor OF The
Bee: l saw a letter in The Sunday Bee,
written by Hon. Michael Lee. telling Of
the duties that our twelve councilmen will
have to perform in the interests of the tax
payers. OF course, he mentioned quite a
saving to the city. but he forgot to men
ton one more big saving, and that Is this
for the city TO control the vegetable and
fruit markets of Omaha and Douglas
county and not let a private corporation
pocket S.C0 to $1,000 every year. when
It should be paid into the city treasury for
the benefit OF the taxpayers. 1 was in
Kansas City about ten days ago and had
talk with the market master of that
city. He told me this income from vegeta-
BILE and fruits. poultry and eggs netted the
city In the neighborhood Of $4,000 a year
quite an item, when ours does not make
enough to pay the market masters salary
OF $500 year.
Now, l think IL is about time that the
taxpayers and citizens at large will see
that the twelve councilmen at large will
work for the taxpayers and see from this
on that the revenue from the markets goes
into the city or county treasury I will
say for one that no candidate will get my
vote or my influence who will not let the
city control It's markets, and I voice the
sentiments OF good many more tax
payers. Look at the city's market house
on Capitol avenue. It says in big letters,
Market House." and you go there and
the building is empty and the doors barred.
How does that look for city OF 102, 900
population? When strangers come 10 our
city and ask. Where is Omahas market
house? and we show them the building
that cost the taxpayers in the neighbor-
hood Of $4,000. think II is a disgrace TO
the majority OF the present council; and
/ think when the votes are counted, those
who voted In the council chambers against
the city controlling the market will find
their names will be Dennis. Hoping some
one else will take action on this market
question. A MARKET GARDENER

Tallahassee, September, 3O.-Two
charming and delightful visitors
within our gates during the past
week were Judge Livingston w.
Bethel, of Key West, and Mrs. Beth
ell, who have been on a visit to their
son, Mr.. Harry L. Bethel. Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Bethel have one of the
handsomest homes in Tallahassee
a beautiful colonial house with great
white columns, on Adams street,
which leads to the old Cali home.
Here Judge and Mrs. Bethel have
spent the week renewing old friend
ships. Judge Bethel was Lieuten-
ant Governor during Bloxham's first
administration. He was known as
the handsomest man in Florida at
that time, pleasant and affable gen.
tleman-of distinguished bearing, he
was one of the most popular men in
the State.
The Office of Lieutenant Governor
which was abolished at the close Of
Governor Perry's term, was more
honorary than renumeratiVe. Judge
Milton H. Mabry, now Clerk of the
Supreme Court was the last Lieuten-
ant Governor. The constitutional
duty of the Lieutenant Governor was
to preside over the Senate; in addi-
ton he was expected to make polit-
ieal speeches during the campaign
and was permitted in the process to
spend about three times his salary
which was only five hundred year.
Among the line of distinguished men
who held the Office, Judge Bethel is
remembered as one of the most pop
ular. At the close of his term he
retired from State politics but has
taken an active part in local affairs
at Key West.
Time has left unbent his handsome
form and although his hair is no
longer black, today he carries himself
with the easy dignity of man slight
ly past his prime, used to honor. The
strong face, the courtly manner and
distinguished bearing still mark him

rivers and harbors than any man in
the United States, so expert has he
become that his recommendations
are accepted at their face value.
He is remembered as the man who
made a fight against Foraker and
Dick in Ohio, for control, and while
he lost personal control of the con-
vention, he succeeded in getting his
ideas incorporated in the Republican
platform, similar victory achieved
by Mr. Bryan at the st. Louis Con-
ventiOn.
Personally, be is charming, with
all the delightful little niceties of
manner a great man should have. He
has one of the finest faces / ever saw,
and impresses one with his broad
and comprehensive grasp of a situa-
ton "Of course we will not say
anything definite" he said relative
to his inspection of the passes at
Apalachicola and Carrabe5e, But
l have my impressions. Just say
that / was greatly pleased with my
reception at both places. From here
l will go to Pensacola. The great
Importance of the harbor there in
sures liberal aid from the govern
ment."
Another delightful man who was
with the party was Mr.. John A. Bet
jeman, of the Business Mems League,
of Albany, Ga. who had Joined the
party at Albany
Discussing the trip he said: I'VE
intended to go to Pensacola by boat
making an inspection of St. Andrews
and St Joseph's Bays but our time
was too limited.
The development at these points
will be of immense value to Florida,
but their great value will be to Geor-
gia and Alabama.
Albany has increased her values
three and a half millions Of dollars
in little more than four years" Mr..
Betjeman continued, We are asking
