express their congratulations and good wishes.
 The company also had great pleas ure in viewing the magnificent array of lovely presents consisting of every kind of beautiful and costly cut glass articles, silver, paintings. linen and many others which came from relatives and loving friends from far and near, eyidencing their great interest in the happiness and future of the handsome young couple.
 After short time thus spent the bride and groom departed on the east bound train. They went first to Halifax, North Carolina, to visit his mother and other relatives and friends. They will also visit other relatives and friends at various points in the Tar Heel State, and probably return about January 10th, after which time they will be at home at the residence of Mr. and Mrs John Aven on Forrest street extended.
 The bride is the second daughter of Judge and Mrs. John Calling and has long been very popular with large circle of friends. She is lovely girl of sweet, gentle disposition. and possessing many beautiful womanly traits which endear her to all who know her.
 The groom is sterling young busi- ness man, a member of the firm of Hurley Bros. & Gillian. and has a very large circle of friends. They have known each other all their lives, having been sweethearts most of that time, and this happy fruition and realization of their fond dream of happiness comes as bene- | diction from Heaven.
 We wish to join i'll all and every good wish which has been made for them, to which We could perhaps add nothing new. The best, however, is that they may live long and prosper, have good health and happiness. This We hope may be their measure.

democratic doctrine that the state ought
to be allowed to attend to it's own busi-
ness" 1t 10 to be regretted that Mr..
Bryan should permit himself to deal with
so large a question in such a superficial
manner.
Either liquors are entitled to the prlvi-
leges Of interstate m or they are
not. The power to regulate interstate COM
meroe Is vested under the Constitution in
the congress OF the United States. II the
regulation may be abrogated in the case Of
liquors, without first outlawing the liquor
traffic, then it is necessarily abandoned
as a constitutions power as to other COM
modities entering into the commerce Of
the United States. 1t is late in the day 10
set UP the old doctrine Of state rights.
though Mr.. Bryan stlll olings to It as the
good old democratic doctrine"
The general government exercises the
taxing power against the manufacturers
OF liquors, and It would be necessary to
abandon that to carry out Mr.. Bryan's
theory. He is unwilling to declare himself
q national prohibitionists, but the logic Of
his situation, whatever his words may be,
pushes him into that relation.

The OCCUPATION Tag.

Now that the public service corpora
lions have voluntarily abandoned their
opposition to the occupation tax levied
by the city council, the money becomes
available toward immediate appropria-
tion. This raises the question Of its
distribution. With a shortage in every
fund the money can easily be parceled
out among the several departments OF
the city government and be as quickly
spent as were the amounts originally
raised for these purposes.
The question, then, for decision is
the disposition of this money. The
funds coming into the city treasury al
present from the occupation tax are
from a source that was not contem-
plated at the time the tax levy was
made, and therefore are money in ex-
cess Of what was deemed necessary for
the carrying on of the city government.
Whether the charter limitations on the
several funds are wise is not at ques-
ton. The charter. puts a limit on the
amount of money that may be ex'
pended by the city for each specific
purpose. Various subtsrfuges have
been resorted to from time to time in
order to avoid these restrictions. The
legality OF some Of the devices adopted
in the past has been seriously ,ques'
toned, but the policy Of e%xpediency
has been permitted to overweight any
soruples that might have hAmpered the
ignoring of the plain law.
The time has come when the imam.
cial affairs Of the city of Omaha should
be placed on some substantial basis
The evasion Of charter provisions
should cease. II the charter Toes mo-
provide sufficiently for the proper
maintenance OF the several depart,
ments OF the city It should be altered
but until It is altered II is the plair
duty Of the mayor and council to set
that the law is followed. This come,
directly to the question OF what dispo
sition to make OF the money now be
ing paid into the city for the occupa
ton tax. Under the charter provision

Relieving the Executive.

Within the past few days the presi-
dent had occasion to pardon another
bank official, which makes it timely to
call attention to the pertinence Of the
recent suggestion of the attorney
general that the statutes be re-
vised which fix a minimum penalty
Of five years for all cases of misappli-
cation of national banking funds. 1t
Is because of this hard-and-fast stipu-
lation that the applications for execu-
tive clemency are so frequent. Pardon
Of communication Is sought in many
cases on grounds which should have
been considered by the trial judge in
determining the length of sentence.
These applications often are accom-
panied by statements from the trial
judge that If he had been free to i'm
pose a less severe penalty he would
have done so.
The attorney general confesses him
self unable to discover a reason why
a trial judge should not be entrusted
with as much discretion in fixing the
sentences of offenders against the
banking laws as in the case Of other
~felonies. The precise measure of pun
ishment is a matter which the court
ought to be eminently competent to de.
termine, and q modification of the stat
ute such as the attorney general pro-
poses would relieve the president Of
a great deal of work entailed in re-
viewing such cases without, so far as
is discernible. interfering with the ad.
ministering of justice to offenders,

The nomination will be equivalent to cleo

down to second place.
General j. Warren Keifer, who has been
the representative in congress from the
Seventh Ohio district almost continuously
for the past thirty-two years, is to have
a youthful opponent when the next con-
%vention meets. The opponent is to be a
retired naval officer. Lieutenant Robert

became presidents, two by election and
three by succession. Massachusetts has

Maine, Tennessee, Illinois and New Jersey
one each.
The hottest special campaign pulled off
in Kansas City Mo-, ends today with the
casting OF the ballots on the question of
extending the franchise of the Metropoli-
tan Street Railway company. The matter
Of a new franchise for a long term of
years has been under consideration for
more than a year. The city has been
urging improved service, extension Of lines
and building Of needed viaducts, but the
company held back, using public neces-
stiles as a lever to obtain an extension of
the franchise. Last spring a commission
of citizens, drafted an ordinance extend
Ing the company's franchise twenty-five
years, but safeguarding the city's inter-
ests with restrictions and conditions that
were regarding as reasonable. This docu-
ment had to pass inspection of the city
council. The wise Solons gave 1t scant
consideration. The document finally APP
proved and to be voted on today was
drafted by the attorneys for the street
railway company, and is regarded as a
great plum for the company and a hold-up
for the city. 1t extends the present fran
chise from 1916 to 1912. The Nelson papers
are hot against 1t, the Journal and Post
equally warm boosters. 1t is a great con-
test, and money has been flowing like a
flood in the Kaw.
