OMAHA DEMOCRATIC.
DahIman Is Reelected Mayor by an
Increased Majority.

Omaha, Neb., May 5.-This city went
Democratic in the municipal election
by safe majorities for the leading can
didates on the ticket, Mayor J. c. Dahl
man leading with not less than 1000.
Complete returns on the head of the
ticket from SO out of 81 precincts gave
Dahlman a plurality of 300, which
shows a gain of about 1000 over his
vote of three years ago.
The campaign has been a bitter one,
during which Mayor Dahlman has been
assailed by two of the leading daily
papers. He has, however, accepted the
criticisms with good grace and met the
opposition with an invitation to search
his record. He has made a personal lib
erty campaign throughout and it is ap-
parent that his platform has increased
his plurality over three years ago by
1 900 to 1900 votes. Mayor Brown
Dem.) of Lincoln will probably be sue
ceeded by a Republican by safe plur-
atty, and it is also apparent that the
second city of the state has discarded
the saloons by the vote cast today.

NO CHANGE IN FARE.
Gov. Stubs Says Kansas Isn't Likely
TO Pay More Than Two Cents.

Kansas City, May 5.-Other states
may pay ~ cent railroad fares. but
Kansas is not likely to have to put
up the extra one-half cent for some
time to come, is the opinion of Cover
nor w. r. Stubs, who was in Kansas
City yesterday.
There are many reasons why the
railroads will not raise the rates in
Kansas" said Governor Stubs. lone
of them is that the cost of operation,
installation and maintenance is less in
Kansas than in most other states. 1t
does not require nearly the amount of
motive power to pull train over
Kansas prairie as it does over the
rolling country of neighboring states.
Then, too, We think the railroads are
earning enough on their investments
as it. Two cents a mile is plenty in
Kansas. According to the decisions
handed down by the supreme court of
the United States, they are now earn
ing what is a fair and reasonable profit
according to the investment, allowing
sufficient for dividends and operating
expenses"
Asked about the policy of paroling
Irfsoners when circumstances seemed
to warrant, the governor said:
There is no reason why a man
should not be given another chance
after his first offense. There is many
good man who might otherwise have
made valuable citizen, who has spent
the greater part of his life in the peni-
Tertiary, probably only as the result Of
an error of judgment. 1 believe in the
pardon board.
when a man has been three times
convicted of any serious crime it is
time for a life sentence That man is
usually a confirmed criminal, and as
such is a menace to society Our lives
are at stake when men like this are
allowed liberty. The thief that comes
into your house at night usually goes
armed and is ready to take your life
if you interfere with him. When a
man makes a business of any of the
many criminal methods of obtaining a
livelihood. 1T is high time that society
was deprived of his company and pro-
tected from his depredations

gate at Bethany college These
poulders are obtainable from place
near the city. The cost would be
cnlehy in construction.
The Washburn college campus is
undoubtedly the most beautiful place
IN Topeka today. 1t is conceded to be
the most beautiful college campus in
Kansas The large number and
variety of trees the beautiful build
lngs, the situation of the land and the
general layout makes the college
grounds unexceIled for spring and
summer establishment. At the pres
ent time there are no monuments or
structures of any kind to give the col
iege campus a traditional air Ihe
old well is about the only thing on the
campus that bears any distinctivenes
and 1T is rebuilt every few years The
old college bell carrying all of the
struggling past history of the college
would be especially appropriate and
ornamental in such position on the
campus.
But if there are any more steps
taken to have the old bell recast and
inserted in the new gymnasium tower
there will be miniature rebeinon
among the hundreds of alumni re-
siding all over the United States.

TO TIE UP COURTS.
Permanent Injunction Asked Against
State Tribunals in Missouri

Kansas City, May 5.-Missouri's
rate cases were again up for consider
alton in the federal court here today
when Judge Smith Mcpherson heard
arguments for a permanent injunction
to restrain the state courts and state
officials from interfering in this litiga-
ton, which originated in the United
States courts.
An amended decree to the original
passenger and freight rate decision
was filed in Kansas City. April II. by
Judge Mcpherson. 1t restrained the
state from interfering in the regulation
of rates, but it was general in its ap-
plication.
injunction week later in the federal
court which absolutely tied the hands
of every state court, every state and
county official and every private citi-
zen against regulating railway rates.
Arguments for a permanent injunction
on Judge Philips order were set for
today This order was intended to
prevent the circuit court of St Louis
from proceeding with an injunction
against the railways in Missouri.
The injunction petition in the state
court in St Louis charges that the
railways in Missouri are in an unlaw
full combination to increase passenger
rates 1t was instituted at the sugges-
ton of state officers All of the pro-
ceedings of the federal court for the
western district of Missouri in these
rate cases have, with a single excep-
tton, been handled by Judge McPher-
son, who is the presiding judge of the
southern district of Iowa Judge
Philips. who is the presiding judge in
the United States district court for the
western district of Missouri, has in the
meantime been engaged with cases in
the circuit court of appeals, and his
only entry into the present litigation
has been to issue the temporary re-
straining order against the state
courts. simply to save Judge McPher-
son from coming to Kansas City to
perform that act.
At the opening of the court here
today Judge Philips assumed the
bench only long enough to make a
brief statement of his connection with
the cases, this result of Repre-
sentative Murphy's resolution demand
ing a congressional investigation of the
acts of these two judges. Judge
Philips then vacated the bench and
Judge Mcpherson, who had arrived
during the morning from St. Louis,
was left to hear the arguments in the
Injunction suit.

Character Written on the Face.

Faces are records on which appear
the result of every selfish, malicious
thought and every wicked desire. The
woman who fes into fits of temper
soon looks like an orge or dragon.
The man who dissipates and drinks
soon acquires the loafers countenance.
Moreover, it is our good, true thoughts
that make for our happiness, as well
as our appearance. All the mental and
physical systems are practically con-
trolled by these little guests of our
brains. Lie awake all night and worry
and behold your next morning face.
1t will scare you to death. You can
change your embittered moods by ex'
ercise out of doors, by going to church,
reading wholesomely stimulating
books, by associating more with chill
dren and by doing good, kindly acts
for those who are about you.
