Omaha, Neb., Aug. Thames c.
Dahlman, the cowboy mayor" of Oma-
ha, has announced his candidacy for
governor on the democratic ticket.
The main plank of the mayors plat
form is home rule.
He said in his speech at a picnic in
Bennett few days ago that every city
and town in Nebraska would have
home rule if he succeeded in being
elected governor. He would make this
the feature of his inaugural message
and he would see to it that the first
legislature after he was indicted into
office passed law carrying out the
principles of home rule.
The mayor aroused the audience at
Bennett in his discussion of the liquor
question. He argued that eating and
drinking was a right given under the
constitution of the United States, and
no legislature, national or state, had a
right to say when or what man
should eat or drink.
If citizens wanted to eat his break
| ldSU dl HOOI, HIS uillllcT dG lille
at night and his supper at two in the
morning no set of men had right
to say that he should not do so. AS to
drinking beer and other intoxicants, the
mayor took the position that man,
free moral agent, could, if he wanted,
drink beer in the middle of the night
and mo temperance cranks shall say
that he shall be deprived of the right
of buying it after eight o'clock in the
evening"
AS to the saloons, the mayor would
have them regulated by the voters or
the towns in which they are situated.
If man drank too much, that was
his own business, and so long as he did
not make nuisance of himself, it did
not concern the publis argued Mr..
Dahlman.
The mayor announced that later he
would state his position with reference
to corporations.

True Hospitality.

Hospitality, in the real sense of the
and in its place has come what is
termed entertaining. But how much
more enjoyable is true hospitality
We have witnessed in the present day
the passing from the delightful phase
of home life, to vastly different
thing, that of entertaining. Someone
has wisely said that hospitality is a
perpetual charm of a genial home,
while entertaining is an event, an oc-
casional opening and decking of the
house for function, and is like an
electric illumination turned on for
a brief glare and then Off"
How much more delightful is it to
hear over the phone, or in cordial
note, Come in on Sunday night for
coffee and a chatting dish Wand"
rather than formal invitation to the
conventional function. to which one
must go just because of duty or be-
cause of what might be termed de-
mands of society.
change? Nearly everyone admits that hos
pitahty is far more enjoyable than en-
tertaining and where true hospitality
reiSns, one does not need to wait for
a new set of china or new parlor dra-
peries before inviting ones friends
Doubtless some people entertain because
someone else does it or they have
the mistaken idea thai society demands
1T and one must continue to do the
same whether it is agreeable or other
wise, or whether the purse or physical
strength admits of it or not.
1t is not really necessary to think
up countless new dishes or coneOc-
tions. for the real friends will prefer
to enjoy with You a simple meal of
healthful viands, rather than menu
so filled with strange names that
it gives no clew as to what is the
nature of the dish.
The woman who really wishes to
make success of true hospitality must
learn to make and serve one thing
at least quite to perfection st does
not matter in the least what it, is
chicken pie, gingerbread. baked beans or
cornbeef hash. Any woman can so
absolutely master one thing that peo-
pie will say IF you ever got an in
vltation to eat Mrs. Cleverly's chicken
patties, don't let such trife as a
previous engagement prevent you from
accepting"
Where real hospitality reigns there
is no debit and credit side to the
ledger and the question is never asked
or debated as to whether this or that
friend has returned your last call.
Genuine hospitality is an affair of the
