OMAHA, oct ALTO the Editor OF The
Bee: why don't you ask G. NJ. Hitchcock
how many bills he has introduced since he
has been congress TO better the old soldiers,
or even them up say SIS per month or So
or SIS, or 81 per day? Can he show a
single bill since he has been in congress
to better all the old soldiers condition? Us
soldiers would like to vote for a good man,
who would get up and have the nerve and
advocate a more equal division.
Here is another break Mr.. Hltchcock
made before he was congressman. He
owned some lots on Ohio street Mrs
Bailey bought a house and lot Of him. He
was up there one day talking to her and
he told her the old soldiers would live
longer than the common man. She asked
him how that was. He said. because they
drew a pension and didn't have to work.
IL made her mad and she don't Ike him
fer that up to this day 1 wonder n Mr..
Hitchcock today could live on what at that
time soldiers got from s., s. to SO. Does
he think today he could live on that and
work. I guess not II you wish to get this
first hand you will find Mrs. Josephine
Bailey in the Grand Island Soldiers Home.
She is a war widow. She can explain to
you OLD SOLDIER.

SOUTH OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 20.-To the
Editor Of The Bee While the pie-eaters
OF South Omaha, by the most unfair
methods ever known in a civilized coun-
try, have stopped the submission of the
question of the consolidation OF South
Omaha with Omaha to a vote OF the peo-
pie of the two cities, yet the sentiment
for the consolidation has not been killed
and many men who were opposed to the
submission and who refused 70 sign pc
titions have stated to me that had they
known OF the unfair methods that would
be used to thwart the will OF the people
they would have signed the petitions
They are now in favor of the consolida-
ton The build ozing and intimidation by
officeholders has only made the senti-
ment OF the people that much stronger
for the consolidation. Fully 90 per cent
Of the people of South Omaha are ready
for the consolidation today and we are
now in favor of the legislature taking
the matter up and passing a bill that will
be satisfactory TO the people OF South
Omaha outside the Pie Eaters Bulddzng
association.
It is plainly evident that the bulldozers'
union is opposed TO the people voting on
the question so now we favor action by
the legislature that will at once consoli-
date us with Omaha, or, at least pass a
bill that will give the city OF Omaha the
power OF absorbing us on terms that will
be OF an equitable nature toward the
people OF South Omaha. The members
OF the Consolidation Club OF South Omaha
ask every person who favors the con-
solidation to find out how the candidates
for the state senate and house stand on
the question and vote against every man
who is not in favor OF the legislature
passing a consolidation act. Do not pay
any attention to their politics when you
vote for members OF the legislature, but
vote for men who will vote according to
the wishes OF the people OF South Omaha.
We, want no more petitions. for the same
Intimidation and coercion will be used
again by the same people as were used
this year The most satisfactory way out
OF 1t and a way that win cause less hard
feelings and do away with all coercion
is for the legislature to pass an act that
will consolidate us with Omaha SO watch

PLATTSMOUTH. Neb., oct 22-To the
Editor Of The Bee: Some time ago I saw
in the columns OF the wcrld-Herald an
article against the candidacy of Mr. Silas
r. Barton for the office Of auditor Of pub
lie accounts on tho republican ticket this
fall
The writer Of this article would be a
good many dollars poorer than he is now
had there been a thief at the head Of af-
fairs in the auditors office instead Of a
man like Mr.. Barton and there are several
hundred in the state who would have been
in the same fix.
Il have live more than thirty-nlne years in
Nebraska and during all that time 1 have
never known any Of those who have held
that office try harder than Mr. Barton has
done to do his whole duty to all the peo-
pie especially in insurance matters, about
which l know more than l do OF other
things with which the auditor has to deal
/ have no idea that he will be swept
away in the landslide which a good many
people think is going to sweep over the
country at the coming election 1 think
there are enough voters who are interested
in honest insurance both as stockholders
and as policyholders in life, fire and acct
dent companies to see him through, nc
matter how destructive to the hopes and
aspirations of many the avalanche may be
All they will ask him to do will be to keer
right on saving wood and making him
self holy terror to every fake fraud who
would undertake to work any skin game
on the people just as he has been doing
ever since he went into the auditors Of
flee as auditor.
But there are a great many people who
don't seem to appreciate and understand
fact which Is as old as history-that II Is
men and not parties who make both good
and bad aforementioned they win vote
to turn out and down a good, faithful pub
lie servant with the same Indifference thai
! they would IL he were a tin-horn gambler
But things will change some day and they
will vote for the man and not for the party
and whenever that day comes, as come Il
surely will, 1t will be a bad day for polit
cal bosses and special privileges.
1 have not a word to say against Mr.
Bartoh's opponent. He may be gooC
and able man, but we don't know him a.
we know Mr., Barton, Be-,
