The city Of South Omaha was quite as
much exercised yesterday concerning the
daylight saloon bill as was Omaha. Martin
letter of the letter Brewing company was
out early in the morning getting up a
monster telegram TO be sent to Governor
Shallenberger protesting against the law.
He secured many names. The anti-saloon

l. c. Gibson, who was criticised con-
sderably on account of his action in the
previous Legislature said: 1T would nike
to see the program carried out. I consider
the passage Of the bill a piece OF spite
work and not an open fight. I told many
men. before the last election. that the
cry Of home rule would prove a delusion
TO them. Home rule meant to Omaha and
South Omaha a liberal policy and nothing
else. I suspected, when the announcement
was made that the legislature was demo-
cratic, that the metropolitan city would
be made to suffer. To the demo-pop of
the state Omaha most usually means a
synonym for trusts and corporations. Any
thing which will be especially distasteful
TO Omaha, Is a sweet morsei on his tongue.
I want the men 1 warned, to see that the
kind of promise they received can never
be relied upon"
