VIII DO All Ruling
Done,
EDGED TO WATER BONDS

Mayor James Dahlman and a few of his
inner circle held the much advertised dem
ocratic platform convention in Creighton
hall Friday in the presence Of about 500
spectators.
OF course the greater part OF the five
hundred referred TO did not think they
were spectators. They sat in regular or
der, the delegations from each ward with
a placard on a pole above them to dis
tinguish each bunch. fast as they do at a
real convention and the delegates really
and truly thought, most OF them. that they
had something 10 do with the platform
which was adopted.
The way II really happened was quite
different. Boss Flynn was in the chair
while around him were flags and artificial
palms. the way they hide the orchestra at
a reception. and under his practiced hand
the machinery moved as smoothly as oil
could make Il. He opened the proceedings
with a few well chosen words and then
called for the representatives from each
ward on the platform committee. Those
chosen, in the order of the wards. were
as follows: Elmer s. Ferrin. Richard
LSIoye. Edgar Rothery, Dan Horrigan, r

MEMBERS of the COMMITTEES at large: H.. L.
Newbranch. II. E. Burnham, J. H.. Gross
man, DR.. A. II. Nipple and Meyer Klein.
Retire to write" Platform.
They retired to an anteroom to await a
reasonable time before presenting the
platform and the time was taken up by
speeches from some of the silver tongued.
|. j. Dunn, assistant city attorney. the
same who sung the praises of the Peerless
Leader at the Denver convention in a voice
like the morning stars singing together,
was called for and for one mortal hour he
talked of ancient history and everything
else except the last three years Of demo
cratic administrator of Omaha affairs.
He was followed by b. J. McArdle, who
recited old John T. Kelley's vaudeville
stunt: "Kelley's Dream, or the Lobster
Salad Recitation" Just what bearing this
had on a democratic convention was not
explained.
Mayor Dahlman then took the floor and
GRATED for quite a spell about cowboys and
things. incidentally paying his respects to
the governor.
Then DIT. Nipple of the Water board read
the result OF the labors of the alleged
platform committee and the document was
adopted by acclamation. there being but
one dissenting vote.
II. E.. Burnham, city attorney. attempted
TO speak after the vote was taken, but the
crowd had heard all the sp~ellbinding 4
wanted for one night and the meeting broke
up. Just where the rank and file" cam'
in is not clear to the casual observer, buI
they think they had something to do viii
il, so that is all that is necessary.
The Democratic Platform.
The platform as adopted is as follows:
/. We recognize that in city affairs part!
politics should be subordinated TO gOos
government, and we affirm that loca
rather than political Issues are at stake IL
this campaign.
. We are opposed TO an extension OF III

franchise of the Omaha Water company
and again pledge the mayor and council
and the democratic officials that may be
elected to cooperate to the fullest extent
with the Omaha Water board in acquiring
the water works at the earliest possible
the water works at the earliest POSSIBLE
in order that the long drawn out contro-
versy between the Omaha Water company
and the city of Omaha may be brought TO
a speedy termination we are in favor of
the proposition for the issue of bonds to
be submitted at the coming election.
8. The democratic party stands for home
rule and personal liberty and fayors the
greatest degree of personal liberty In
Omaha consistent with the good govern
mcnt of the city.
T. We stand for law and order and favor
the enforcement of laws equally against
all. without discrimination, prejudice or
fanRticism.
The Meat I'm the COcORnut.
5. We call attenticr 20 tie fact that the
democratic administration of Omaha has
which IL was elected. That il has been
free from scandal, that no one has been
able even to charge that II was influenced
by or subserylent to any special interest
and economical business administration.
6. Three years ago we promised dollar
gas in the event It was legally possible a
procure 1t. We were estopped by the fact
that a republican administration has
granted the present gas company a fran
chise until 1918 with authority to charge
SIS TO $.55 per 1000 cubic feet.
Further, the city was prohibited by 4
republican legislature from granting a fran
chise 10 any other company for more thai
ten years. and no corporation would bulk
a plant under a ten-year franchise.
The present democratic city administra
ton tried 10 secure from a republican
legislature in 1907 an amendment to th'
charter to make dollar gas possible. Tina
legislature refused us the amendment, bu
a democratic legislature has this yea
amended the charter In the manner re
CURED. We now, therefore,, renew gu
pleoge to give Omaha dollar gas in III
manner made feasible by the efforts OF
democratic city administration and a demo
cratic Legislature. We further pledge ina
at the expiration OF the present contract
for street lighting, beth by gas and cleo
tricity. lower rates will be required as
basis for new contracts.

ANXIETY
FOR Guns

Castle & Cooke, agents for the Mat
son Navigation Co., yesterday endeav-
ored to reach the Matson S. S. Lurline
by wireless to ascertain details con-
corning the parting, last Saturday, of
the towline between the Lurline and
the bark Mohican, which latter YES
sci is bringing two fifty-seven ton
guns for Pearl Harbor defense.
In some way BARRIERS Point neglect
ed to pass the message to the Kahuku
long distance wireless. station and the
message of inquiry was not sent. 1t
will be sent tonight and an answer
is expected tomorrow morning.
Last night Kahuku received a wire
less message from the Lurline saying
she was 1900 miles off this port and
might be in here on Monday.
A local shipping report has it that
the Mohican is carrying the two fifty
seven ton guns on deck. This is occa-
sioning some amusement among Ship
ping and military men, for if she is
carrying two such monsters on deck
she deserves to be dismasted, lost and
forgotten. The report was probably
a mistake and it is hoped for her own
good and the welfare of the ordnance
that she has the guns below.

CREW
. OF HAVALLANS

After a record amount of petty trou-
BILE in getting crew the big ship VIM.
P. Frye sailed today for Philadelphia.
Altogether the bulk of three crews
were shipped. The first set were white
men, picked upon the beach. They
had left other vessels here, worked the
booze routes to a finish and to ship
was their last chance. In place of
staying with a good thing, however,
they proceeded to celebrate and Cap
tain Murphy fired the bunch. A Sec
ond effort proved equally unavailing.
The last resort was a Hawaiian crew.
Out of twenty men Captain Murphy
took on eleven natives, giving him
only nine sailors of other nationalities
With the eight officers and regulars"
the complement numbers twenty-eight
men. The Chinese cooks were dis
charged and King, the old cook, rein
stated.
The Frye took full cargo of sugar,

KALBIKINI
IS QUIET
EVIDENCE PRODUCED IN COURT
AGAINST THE WIFE SLAYER'S
PLEA OF INSANITY. Is

George Kaleikini sat calmly in court
this morning while the proceedings in
volving the jeopardy of his life for
killing his wife went on before Judge
De Bolt.
When the court resumed its sitting
yesterday afternoon, following the re-
cess taken half an hour in advance
of noon on account of the defendants
violent CONFUSION, word was received
from the Jail that KaleilIini was not
in condition to appear. Therefore the
trial was continued till 10 o'clock this
morning.
Rev. w. B .Oleson and Theodore
Richards were called in rebuttal of
the insanity plea and evidence. They
were successfully principals of Kane
hameha School for Boys while Kalei-
KIM was a pupil there. Their evil
dence was to the effect that while the
defendant was thus under their direct
observation and care he manifested
no epileptic symptoms or other tokens
of threatened alteration.
Antoine Gomez, who is married to
sister or a cousin of Kaleillini, was
the last witness before noon recess.
He did not know defendant as a crazy
person, although knowing he raised
hell with his wife,
Drs. Sinclair and Collins, the latter
having observed Kaleikini in fits in
the courtroom yesterday, are awaiting
calls to the witness stand.
The trial is not expected to end be-
fore Tuesday, as the court will ad-
journ today until Monday

SCHOOL BOYS
HIGHLY PRAISED

The cadets of the Kamehameha
school have been religiously drilling
these past few days in preparation for
their part in the Lincoln parade to-
morrow.
Yesterday they marched pack and
forth the schools to Liliha streets.
There were Federal and Territorial
military officers watching them and
their verdict was that the maneuvers
of the boys were most creditable,
which unqualified opinion reflects
great credit on the boys instructor.

OBEYS HER DOG.

A story is going the rounds of a
fair lecturer whose dog accompanies
her to her engagements and yawns
when he thinks she has said enough
"a signal which she invariably obeys
by resuming her seat.
One does not quite believe it; but
one likes 1t. When life seems more
than usually insipid-and such mo-
ments do come to even the most hope
full of us-there is a sudden pleasant
sympathy in the yawn of the terrier
on the rug before the fire. "Ah, you,
too. find things a little boring, old
fellow" one says. Ana a dog yawns
nobly. making no attempt to disguis-
ing it with politely uplifted paw All
animals seem to enjoy a yawn except
men. A hippopotamus, for instance,
lifts himself slowly from his murgy
pond and yawns. 1t is great spec
tacle, tremendous, Homeric. The con-
centrated boredom of the whole crea-
tion seems expressed in that gigantic
gasp. For a few fascinated moments
pool, tent, railings, people, all seem
merged in one colossal mouth 1t is
wonderful.
Oh. to be able to yawn like that
when life becomes too sillyl-Phila-
delphia Record.

SQUANDERING ABILITY.

Doing the lower when the higher is
possible constitutes one of the great
est tragedies of human life
The squandering of money seems a
wicked thing when we think of the
good that might be done with it; but
what about the wicked waste of abil-
iy, the deliberate throwing away of
fifty seventy-five, perhaps ninety
per cent of ones success possibility
just because he never trained himself
to use it, to grasp it with such vigor
and power that he can fling his life
into his career with its maximum ef-
fectiveness?
Most people take hold of life with
the tips of their fingers. They never
get hold of the life proposition with
that grip and tenacity Of purpose and
vigor Of determination which does
things worth while. They just hang
on the outskirts of things, playing
upon the surface of their possibilities
without ever getting down into the
marrow of their being, where eff
cheney and power dwell.-Success.
