ELECTRICITY FOR EVERYONE
Electrical Show Teaches Everyone
It's Many Uses.
NECESSITY FOR HOME OR FACTORY
Omaha Keeps Pace with the
Rest of the< Country in
the Use of Magic
Power.

II one would know exactly what power
costs, use electric power-the power that
admits Of no uncertainty-the power that
moves your machinery without waste or
s%hrinkage.,
Dependabiity and freedom from break
downs" are two cardinal virtues of electric
power. Electric power lie free from the
annoying features of other power. for in
Its use. the trouble-producins overhead
shafting. pulleys. slipping and energy
wasting belts are, almost entirely elimin-
ated. These are mighty important factors,
as all well-Informed power experts admit.
In a given amount OF floor space, for a
factory Of any sort. the man who installs
motor-driven machinery can DO one Of two
things that the other fellow cannot-ho can
operate more machines in the same space
or he can have more room for the comfort
and convenience Of his help. No valuable
space is taken up by boiler and engine
rooms, coal bins, overhead shafting and
belts. Practically all modern factory build
ings are planned for the use Of electric
power. Old plants row operating with
other forms Of power can readily be con-
nected up with electric power.
II sanitary conditions alone were the only
reasons, they would in themselves be
mighty arguments In favor of operating all
machinery by electricity. This is especially
true in plants where a large numbe of
people are employed as well as where food
products are made. In any factory where
the purity of the product Ia of the most i'm
portance, the doing way with the things
that collect and distribute dust, dirt and
grease is accomplished by having all ma
chinery motor-driven.

very narrow margins of profit, many con
Germs are paying big dividends today out
of what was thoughtlessly wasted a few
years ago. Under these conditions, there
Ncan be absolutely no leaks" in the system
of any manufacturing concern II that con-
Germ is to maintain its position in the com
mercial world. All arguments of economy
favor the use of electric power and all it's
users attest to its superiority in every
way.
The finest homes In Omaha, the ordinary
homes, the inexpensive ones and Omaha's
largest and finest buildings bear the stamp
Of Burgess-Granden company. This con-
Germ, through most intelligent, enterprising
and aggressive management, has well
earned the distinction OF leading in their
lines. Being in both the = wholesale and
retail gas and electric fixture business they
are in position to carry by far the largest
stock In Omaha, and exclusively repre-
senting, as they do, the worlds largest
factories in the east and in foreign coun-
tries, no other concern can obtain the ar
tistic and beautiful effects in lighting fix

ness has been built up through COMPETE

ABUSE OF COMMISSIONED OFF,
GERS.

Russia in furnishing some of her
bravest commissioned officers for sur
rendering to a foe they could not
conquer showed that she was far be-
hind the other civilized nations in the
treatment of men who failed because
of no fault Of their own. 1t is an
nounced that Rear Admiral Gregorieff
and Lieutenant Smirnoff, two veterans
Of the Japanese war, who were SEN
fenced to death for surrendering their
forces, and who finally were given ten
years Imprisonment instead have been
pardoned, and this is regarded as an
indication that Russia Is about to open
the prison doors and let her brave
men out, so the release of General
Stoessel and Admiral Nebagatoff is ex-
pected soon. Russia showed slight
progress in the fact that she did not
execute any Of the officers who she
condemned for incompetence, coward
ice or treachery, and she seems to be
advancing when she recognizes that
these very men are needed in re-es-
tablishing her military and naval stat
US. 1t was a shame thus to disgrace
them and the reading world is pleased
to learn of their prospective release.

Taft's Philippine Gifts.

when the free trade bill for the
Philippines passes congress and comes
up to President Taft for signature, .
says the Manila Times, "he will have
gold pen with a pearl handle made
wholly of gold and pearl from the Phil
ippines with which to affix his sigma
ture to that important document. Some
time ago Manager Schwinges of La
Concha button factory conceived the
idea of making a pearl handled gold
pen and pearl inkstand to be sent to
President-elect Taft as a memento OF
the Philippines that might be kept on
his desk as a constant reminder of the
islands across the sea.
THE stand is made Of a large pearl
shell with small knobs Of solid silver
for feet and the bottle itself is made
from narrow pieces Of mother Of pearl
running lengthwise and completely
covering the ink receptacle Of glas son
the inside. The pen itself is a work
OF art, with long shaft OF pearl, at
the tip of which is the American eagle
beautifully carved with outsretched
wings.
1.-THE end of the pen is engraved near
the point with the presidents initials
In monogram inclosed in a shield.
Above this engraving is another of a
Filipino nipa house in the country,
with bamboo trees around 1t, and on
the opposite side is engraved a Fill
Pine carrying a load of palay."

A Sample.

We have not seen anything in print
in a long time that hits of more ef-
fectively the citizen who shuns con-
tact with practical politics" than an
article recently printed in Golfers
Weekly, and which Is to the following
effect:
This letter to Golfers comes from
a man who lives at . Milford street,
East Orange, N. J. He writes IN. F
after his name, and is therefore pre-
sumably a man Of college education
and standing in his community.
What can one thoroughly disguised
citizen do? Write to my congressman,
you say? Be kind enough to tell me
his name, will you? Kindly
reply at your convenience.
YOURS FOR PURE POLITICAL
METHODS"
II "Disgustsd citizen" will ask his
barber, or his bartender, if he patron
ICES, he will doubtless learn his con-
CHEESEMAN'S name. Most assuredly he
can learn from that holder Of a po-
litical office who calls for his garbage
con in the morning. II "Disgnsted Cit
lien" doesn't know his congressman s
anne, presumably he didn't vote either
for him or against him. Said Massa
chusetts congressman when the fight
against Cannon was at its height:
"Oh, yes, I'm getting those letters
and elegrams-hundreds Of them: but
I don't care. I've had my secretary
look all those fellows up. and not one
Of them ever attended a caucus"
If the reply Of Golfers does not hit
the man who sent the letter, 1t hits
a thousand others, all the same, whose
only function IN political affairs Is to
find fault. A man who acts to the ex-
tent of his ability and rights and then
criticises has a record that will back
him up in all he says. but the man
who gives himself away as does the
East Orange critic does not appeal
with very much force to the discrimi-
mating authority on political things

WHERE WEALTH wIrHERs.

A Chicago minister recently ex-
pressed his contempt for rich skin
flints who in their relation to the
church were a whitening blight instead
Of a benefit, and he had the courage to
say that he had patience with the un-
faithful and even with the liar, but he
did not have any for the millionaire
who had tight grip upon his money
bags and who made himself check
to the material prosperity of the
church. To illustrate his meaning he
cited a case where a millionaire was
in the membership of church 100000
in debt and he would pay only $50 a
year toward the expenses and every
body gagged their contributions by
this mans parsimony with the result
that the church was constantly MAX
ing deficits. The millionaire was
finally routed and within a year there
after the church freed itself from
debt and went on swimmingly. He
does not regard the close-fisted rich
man as a desirable member Of any
religious society-and boldly advocated
his expulsion as Of material and spir-
itual advantage to the church Bold
doctrine, but not groundless.

BARE AND uNsIeHrLY SPOTS.

the way In which they disfigure neigh
borhoods while they hold them for a
valuation which results from the
cleanliness, thrift and enterprise Of
the neighbors and not from anything

HOLD UP THOSE PRUNING
SHEARS,

All householdere who grow shrubs
and vines have pruning shears and If
they have done their duty they have
already cut back the rose bushes and
grape vines and honeysuckles, etc.;
but the amateurs should realize that
the pruning shears can do as much
harm as good il ignorantly used. Be-
cause they may be proftably used
upon the currant and gooseberry
bushes u no reason why they should
be applied 70 the early spring flower
Ing shrubs like the deutzia, the mock
orange, the wegelia or other floral
beauties for TO clip these is to de-
priVe them Of the bloom which is due
this year, for the flower buds were all
formed last year, and II is after the
season Of forescence Is over that the
pruning shears should be applied
Then cutting out the old wood gives
a chance for the new wood to grow
and for the next spring flowers buds
to form. A misuse Of the pruning
shears by amateurs accounts for the
refusal Of spring shrubs and some
roses to bloom for amateurs. Knowl-
edge is essential to success.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
The Inevitable Bumps.

Mr.. Allen, who a little while ago
was postmaster at Middletown, saws
some true things about the fate and
facts Of politics. Bumps like the one
from which he is suffering are newt
able. The man who suspends himself
from politics without any other sup
port is likely to fall any time, with
results more or less disastrous. He
should have either some reliance of
fortune on which to fall back when
the smash comes, or a philosophical
spirit such as Mr. Allen possesses.
Young men who are thinking Of enter
ing the game might get some very use

loose by at least a few eminent lead
