WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.--(Special Tele-s
gram)-An exceedingly pleasant incident
occurred to William Hayward and Victor
Rosewater today in conjunction with their
call upon the president as representatives
Of the Chicago headquarters, having charge
of the western half of the country for the
republican national committee. These gen
tlemen, with Fred w. Upham. assistant
treasurer at Chicago; David C. Owen. post
master at Milwaukee. assistant sergeant-at-
arms at Chicago; L. ]. Behn, chief clerk
at Chicago; Victor Mason, assistant secre-
tary of the national committee, and Charles
F. BroolSer, national committeeman from
Connecticut, paid their respects to the pres
ident Mr.. Roosevelt was exceedingly cor
dial id his congratulations TO these repre-
sentatives of the Chicago headquarters,
who came on to attend the dinner tonight
in honor OF National Chairman Frank H.
Hitchcock.
I'VE did beat them to a frazzle. didn't
we?' remarked the president, enthusiast
cally. "You boys from the west didn't have
to look in the dictionary about that word
FRAGILE, did your" And the president
| laughed heartily. Mr.. Rosewater, when the
laughter had subsided, remarked: "Yes,
/ anu next lllut we Will bodl Nhtih III IMO
frazzles," which seemed to strike re-
sponslve chord in the presidents mind.
President Likes His Size.
Looking at Mr. Hayward, at his strong,
vigorous, athletic build-it was the first
time Mr.. Hayward had ever met the pres
ident-Mr. Roosevelt exclaimed: You are
built like a center rush. l don't know
whether you ever played that position or
not7"
''No, he played right tackle and fullback
on the University Of Nebraska team when
student there" suggested Mr.. Rose
water.
The president paid Mr.. Hayward fine
compliment by saying that he had repeat
edly heard of the good work that Mr.. Hay
ward had done at Chicago, and he was
! glad to meet so splendid a representative
of the west and finding him so to his lik-
ing. Referring to the loss of Nebraska the
president said to Mr.. Rosewater and Mr.
Hayward. that Nebraska did we'll under al
the circumstances and that they had nC
reason to feel badly about its loss. THE
victory in the United States was suffi.
ciently large to forget that Nebraska for
the time being had entered the democratic
column"
Mr.. Hayward. secretary of the nationa
committee. performed the pleasant duty to
night of acting for his associates Of botf
the New York and Chicago headquarters
by presenting magnificent souvenir t
Mr.. Hitchcock. 1t was the only forma

nearly sixty representatives OF the nationa
: committee. including Charles p. TAFT an,
} Arthur /. Vorhys, were present. During
the evening a loving cup was presented t
} Mr.. Mason and a silver service TO Mr.. oul

The first year the democrats were In
power the property valuations were sched-
uled %,000C00 higher than during the last
republican year snd the tax levy was cut
something under the previous levy. There
was a big deficit in all funds and the DEM
ocratic mayor, who vetoed a higher levy
declared at the close of the year that he
would never do again. as he got moth
ing but kicks and cusses throughout the
year for vetoing the levy, and thereby not
giving the various departments the ex-
travagant funds they demanded.
The second year, however. the democrats
taxed the people eof Omaha 81 ,O2S.01, or
$ll4,S45.s3 more than the republicans taxed
them the last year OF their administration.
The third year the democrats increased the
republican levy stil more, the excess
amounting TO S14307s.10.
This last levy was voted by the council
and approved by tile acting mayor on the
night of August 4. over the protests of
Councilman zimman, the only republican
member. and the mayor as we'll. Mr.. zim-
man fought the levy because Of 1t being

the council that the levy anticipated the
placing OF $4,000 .Ore in the sinking

Law Against Nepotism.

Tears that have never before been shed
will overflow and cover the state house
with wet; brothers will be separated from
brothers, wives and husbands will be torn
asunder; sons will be driven from the
sight of fathers uncles and nephews and
neices will no longer nibble from the same
pie-counter-if the democratic legislature
carries out the threats of some of the
members and prohibits the employment OF
relatives by state officers and heads of de-
partsments and institutions
Never since the old pop days will the
people have such an opportunity to wit
ness a wholesale good bye and breaking up
of happy home.
During the last few years the state house
has been the home OF many members of the
same families, and nepotism has become so
rampant that Family Apartment Rouse
is good name for the capitol.
The practice has been condemned. but 10
no effect: party success has had no weight
against the extra salary. and now a new
legislature, which has none of the offices to
give out promises to abolish the practice
In many instances, public office has been
a family snap and nearly every inspection
of the vouchers in the office of the state
auditor brings forth the name of wife or
other relative OF a state officer who has
drawn pay from the state.
