TwENTY-FouR widows dressed in
black, some Of them with children,
sat In a row In the Federal Court at
Pittsburg the other day. Their hus-
bands had been killed In the Dorr mine
disaster and they had suits pending
for damages ranging from $4,000 to
$50. 900 each. The accident seems to
have been needless and avoidable, and
the widows have good cases against
the concern. but to meet present need
and avoid the laws delay they compro-
missed their claims for $500 to $1,000
each. There ought to be some redress
in such cases besides law suits in which
those with money have the advantage
of those with none. II is stated that
the railway accidents alone in this
country kill annually as many adult
men as there are in a town Of $4,000
people, and every 1000 men killed
means almost I. 200 foolish law suits or
compromises for sums pitifully small.

The quadrennial race for county off,
ces in the State of Kentucky is now I'M
der consideration by the people of the
entire State. In Lincoln county the
lists are practically closed Good gov
eminent at home is quite as essential,
in fact more essential than good gov
eminent abroad. Bad or weak admin
istration of public trusts affect the peo-
pie directly in proportion to their near
contact with it.
The democratic party, basing its fun
d,mental principles and owing its ex-
istence to faith in the people for whom
and by whom government is made, sub
mitted the question of the candidacy of
several aspirants for nomination to a
primary election on the 9th Of last Feb
ruary. In this primary. practically the
whole body of the party participated.
The selection was made according to
the fairest method that can be conceiv-
ed. 1t is not often the case that the
whole body of people makes radical
mistake. In this instance the gentle
men chosen are representatives of the
wishes of either the majority, or of the
highest number of those participating.
of party respectable in numbers, in
chararter and influence. Some of
these representatives have heretofore
proven their efficiency and trustworthi-
ness. Conceding to the gentlemen who
oppose them much that may be claimed
for them by the Partially of friends,
it can not be urged that they are filter
for public trust than the democratic
nominees. The democratic party is sat
isfied with them and earnestly COM
mends each and all Of them to all of
the people. There can be no reasona-
bic doubt that will receive the hearty
support of the entire party. 1t rs in
conceivable to suppose that any gentle
man whe participated in the primary
of Feb. 9Th does not feel himself NOR
ally and politically bound to cast his
vote and exert his influence in behalf
of the nominees. This he engaged to
do when he took part in the election,
and it will not be presumed that any
man will be guilty Of treachery or bad
faith. The moral obligation to abide
the result of primary is greater than
the obligation which flows from the re-
suit of convention. In the former all
participate. In the latter only few.
We urge the democrats Of the county
to rub up their harness preparatory to
the contest which is now on Us. The
INTERIOR JOURNAL will do its part

Omaha daily bee., 1909-05-23

Berka was born in Bohemia, has lived
in America forty-seven years and In
Omaha twenty-six years, and is a grad
uate of the State University of Michi-
gan at Ann Arbor. Before he became
police judge, a position he held at four
different times, Judge Berka was APP
pointed a justice of the peace.
While he is proud of the majorities
he received this spring and three years
ago, Lee Bridges is just as proud of a
couple of medals he secured in his
younger days when he was a proficient
swinger of Indian clubs and puncher
of punching bags. Lately he has been
too busy contracting to pay much at
tention to his athletic paraphernalia,
though it is said that he always gets
into trim before entering a political
campaign. Mr.. Bridges has lived in
Omaha twenty-five years.
Louis Burmester was born in Omaha
and has lived here constantly. His
father came to this city in 1860 and
the following year enlisted in Company
b, First Nebraska Volunteers. Mr..
Burmester was a member of the coun-
Gil from 1896 to 1900 and was instru-
mental in the passage of the ordinance

FRED SCHROEDER. WARD

Mr.. Withheld was born in Omaha
and the house in which he was
born still stands. He has seen the
city grow from almost it's very begin
ming and says that had he been build
ing inspector fifty years ago 1t would
not now be necessary to condemn
cores of buildings every year..
The initials G. w. generally stand
for George Washington, and if any
man has a right to these names it is
George Washington Craig, for he was
born in the library of the old Mount
Vernon home of the first president.
Mr.. Craig's father, J.. Y, former men,
Der of the Board of Park Commission
ers, was employed by the government
to reconstruct Mount Vernon after the
war, and the family was living there
when the future city engineer was born.
Mr.. Craig came to Omaha in 1883 and
was employed by the city engineering
department twenty years, half of
which time he was assistant city engi-
neer.
Omaha is supposed to be a rather
good city, but in the eleven years

bear the thought of living anywhere
but in Omaha and returned to this
city in three months to become deputy
county clerk, a position he held until
elected city clerk three years ago.
Politics was born and bred in c. o.
Lobeck. His father was a close po-
litical friend of owen Lovejoy, Lyman
Trumbull and General Henderson, and
his grandfather was city treasurer of
Demmin, in the province of Pomer-
ania, Prussia, before they began to
count. The present Mr.. Lobeck has
been in politics since 1892. In that
year he was elected to the state senate
as a republican; in 1896 he was elected
to the council as a silver republican
and in 1903, 1906 and 1909 he was
elected city comptroller as a democrat.
Aside from this he was talked of for
congress and governor at times. Mr..
Lobeck came to Omaha in 1880 and
was a pioneer salesman in this state.
Harry E. Burnam is a graduate of
the Georgetown University of Wash
ington, d. c., receiving the degrees of

uation he was legal reviewer and spe-
cial examiner for the pension bureau

cial attention by the continued I'M
expansion of the city. In the y
same lines comes the affairs of
the police department. The late
legislature passed a law to in
creas the pay of the members of
the police force, but neglected
to enact legislation whereby the
money could be provided to meet
the increased expense. This means
that the policemen must work for
less pay than the law allows them. or
the force must be reduced in number.
AS Omaha already suffers from the
fact that its police force is too few in
number the board is here faced with
a serious administrative proposition
right at the outset. At present the
policemen are nearly all willing to
work for the old rate of pay in order
that none may be laid off. The police
board will also have the excise bust
ness of the city to look after, dealing
with saloon license and similar ques-
lions.

eminent of Omaha is as follows:

James Charles Dahlman was born
in Texas, punched" cows in Wyoming
and the Dakotas, entered the political
game in Dawes county and landed in
the mayors chair after a residence in
OAhoha u Ohlg Sl6ul years. he was
sheriff of Dawes county, mayor of
Chadron, national committeeman for
two terms n state chairman for one;
earned the name of being Mr.. Bryan's
closest personal and political friend,
distinguished himself by l~assooing the
Peerless Leader in New York harbor
and was all but extinguished by Gov
ernor Shallenberger, whom he tried to
defeat for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton a year ago. Mr.. Dahlman has
lived in the state about twenty years
and in Omaha less than a dozen years.
Dan B. Butler has made Omaha his
home since early school boy days. He
was graduated from the High school
and took the full course at Creighton
university, finishing in 1898. While
attending the university he was star
man on the foot ball team. Upon
completing his school course he took
a position with the Pacific Express
company, but when the headquarters
were moved to st. Louis he could not

ana TOT eighteen years ran q
steamboat on the Illinois river.
That river was too small for
him, so he came to Omaha in
1870 in the hope he could get a run on
the Missouri. but the Big Muddy was
no more navigable then than now. He
then thought he would like to run a
Union Pacific locomotive, but when he
found there were eighty applicants
of work. He was first elected to the
city council in 1906.
w. S. Sheldon came to Omaha in
1889 to take charge of the gymnasium
of the Young Mems Christian a~ssocia-
tion, but for the last fifteen years has
been engaged in either making pies or
selling real estate. He was graduated
from Oberlin, CO.. college n the
physical training school at Springfield,
Mass, and had charge of the Cleveland
Young Mems Christian association
gymnasium for a short time before
coming to Omaha. He is still some
thing of an athlete and enjoys rowing
and swimming at Manawa and Cut-Of
lakes. His first venture in politics
vas three years ago, when he went
into the city council on the top of the
democratic ave.
One of the new members of the city
council is Fred Schroeder, who is "a
years of age. He was born in Omaha
n has lived most of his life in the
Seventh ward. He is a member of the
Bricklayers' union, was secretary one
term and was sent to Detroit last year
as the unions delegate to the national
convention. Mr.. Schroeder holds the
distinction Of being the youngest dele
gate ever sent to a national convention
of the Bricklayers' union.
Several members of the present ad-
ministration played together in the
kid" base ball nine some forty years
co., and one of these is ]. B. Hummel,
who came to Omaha in 1864 at the age
of 2 years. He used to play ball with
Louis Burmester, Charley Karbach,
Charley Withheld and Fred Hoye. For
forty-two yearSMr. Hummel has lived
in the same house, at 524 North Eight
zenith street. When he takes his seat
as councilman he will retire from the
SUPPLEMENTARY of street repair work,
a position under the city engineering
department which he has held some
time.
Thomas McGovern is the only hero
the council has. While employed by
the Union Pacific he attended the pic

sMoKELEss BATTLESHIP NExT
Internal ~ombuutiOu Engines DO
Away with smoke and Increase
Nays Emciency.

The possibility Of the adoption OF inter
nal combustion ngines for the propulsion
OF battleships has been discussed pro and
con for the last two years by naval ex-
perts on both sides Of the Atlantic, Eng
land taking the lead in the experiments.
Now. according to the English press, the
internal combustion engine for such pur-
poses has ceased to be only a possibility
and has become a fact. England's expert
ments, IL is claimed, have been so sue
cessful that a huge bRttleship, $40 feet
long. IS feet broad and having a displace-
ment of 1900 tons, has been designed
and will soon be laid down, II, indeed, the
work has not already been secretly com
menced.
If the reports are correct. the vessel Is
designed for a speed of 20 miles an hour,
and will carry an armament OF u guns Of
13.5-inch caliber, firing projectiles of 1900
pounds weight, capable OF piercing 81
inches of armor at a distance of 1900 feet.
The advantages of the internal combus-
ton engine over steam power are numer-
Gus. There will be no smoke to draw the
attention OF the enemy, no tunnels to OBJ
struct the decks, the engines will be bet
ter protected and oil tanks will be easier
filled, both at sea and in harbor than
bunkers with coal, It is the absence OF
tunnels, however, that will cause the
most radical change in the exterior ap-
pearsnce of the war dogs. Except Tor
mssts, bridges and coming towers, the
decks will be practically clear. making
possible the arranging OF big guns for
firing in any direction. The huge fun
nels now in use offer fine targets TO the
enemy. Their injury may reduce the
draught and so the speed Of the vessel,
and their fall would probably put sew
eral guns out OF action.-Popular Ma
