At Whose Summons ?

The democratic state senators who are
opposed to county option, and who were
summoned 20 a conference in Omaha, after
they had reached here decided unanimously
to do nothing but exchange greetings and
adjourn-W orld- Herald.
It is really less important to know
what these democratic senators did at
their conference beyond exchanging
greetings" than whose summons they
responded to.
Who is the self-constituted boss Of
the democratic senators opposed to
county option?"
Why should these democratic sena-
tors travel to Omaha in answer to an
invitation to a secret confab?
Why should the beneficent friend,
philosopher and guide of the demo-
cratic senators confine attention to one
branch of the legislature and ignore
the other?
Is the state senate to be the embat-
tied fortress manned by democratic
TRUSTEES, and the house left to shift
for itself? 3 80
Are these democratic senators "op-
posed to county option" to be sum-
moned to Omaha regularly during
session, or are they to take orders
over the telephone? Or is the hidden
power behind the throne to be located
in closed proximity at Lincoln?
How did the names of these particu-
lar democratic senators, and demo-
cratic senators only, come to be on this
extra select invitation list, anyway?

1t transpires that the financial af-
fairs of the police departments late

hopeless muddle, and that the chief
benefciaries are the carpet-bag
promoters rather than the members
of the Police Relief association. This
development reinforces what The Bee
has said time and again against all
schemes to replenish relief funds for
the police and fire departments by
selling either ball tickets or souvenir
books 1t is a pernicious practice and
bound to lead to grave abuses. II

yards of Petaluma laid 7,159,481
dozen eggs during the year 1909,
according to figures announced to-

duction of eggs.
1t was estimated that $1,769,S7O
was paid for the Petaluma output,
when an average of 20 cents dozen

by giving his body a number of
turns of bringing about strangula-
