4 Of HIS CLASS

Word was received recently at
the home of Wesley Englehorn's
parents that the big ex-high school
and w. S. c. football star has not
only been elected captain of the
freshman team, as was announced
some time ago, but that he has also
been elected president of the fresh
man class at Dartmouth, This an
nouncement, coming as 1t does on
the heels of his election to the cap
taincy of the football squad, is one
Of the biggest honors that could be
conferred upon student at the
college. Englehorn has been i'm
mensely popular throughout the
school term and the announcement
of this very recent honor will couse
his many friends in this city a
great deal of pleasure.
A letter was received yesterday
by Wallace DeWitt's father, stating
that Englehorn's former team-mate
is having the time of his life at
Princeton and that he is playing on
the scrub team this year.

When the rank favoritism was

public works the figures took
tumble.
Mayor Pratt and the board of
works have previously awarded con-
tracts for this class of supplies
pretty much without regard to the
figures given or who was the low

may have drawn the specifications,
1t was the mayor and the board of
public works who awarded the con-
tracts and rejected the bids of the
lower bidders to accept the higher
priced apparatus.

HITTING THE Political PIPE
A FEW STRAY BITS OF GOSSIP CONCERNING MATTERS THAT
HAVE TO DO WITH RUNNING THE CITY, COUNTY AND STATE

The Omaha Mediator comes to the
front with the following political item
that is wonderfully interesting:
Every citizen of Omaha should talk
Dahlman day and night because the
salvation of Omaha depends upon his
election as governor. It is necessary
to put Dahlman in the governor s chair
in order that the welfare Of Nebraska
may be conserved
Horrible thoughts intrude when we
read that Wouldn It Omaha and Ne
braska be in one heluva shape if May
or Jim" should die before ne could
save Omaha and the state from the
demnition bow-bows by being elected
governor? I've known Mayor Jim
for twenty years, and the very best we
can wish him right now is that he may
be saved from his fool friends And
after reading the above in the Omaha
Mediator we're inclined to believe that
Of all his fool friends the Mediator is
chief.

IN quite sure that voice the senti-

pastorate of the Havelock Christian
church is good news to organized Ia
Dor. l not only congratulate the
Havelock congregation, but congratu-
late the wage earners Of the Slep City

among them another friend like Rev.
Mr.. Zenor. He will help them fight
their battles when they are right, and
Of their mistakes when he sees them.
He is always a Christian gentleman,
never the clerical "prig." He knows
the labor game; knows the hopes and
aspirations of the organized forces, and
knows of the long struggles of the past
and of the struggles that are still in
the future. And he'll fight fair, and
all the time, in the interests of the lab
orers. A host of union men in Lin
coin who have learned to admire and
trust Rev. Mr.. Zenor, will rejoice to
learn that he is not to get so far away
from them that he can not continue to

The Traction Co. is asking for the
cooperation of the citizens of Lincoln
in its efforts to better the equipment

is good one. I know of but one bet
ter-a little more cooperation on the

by little more hearty cooperation
with the men in it's employ. Let it
recognize the right Of it's employees to

The citizens will soon have chance
to vote on the issuance OF 100000 III
bonds for park purposes. Now let 8
all get together and boost for the prop
osition. There is every reason Why
every wage Garner in the city should
vote for the bonds. In the first place
the wage Garner is more interested IN
parks than anybody else. He and his
family can not 60 to the seashore or
the mountains in summer, but they can
go to a beautiful park if one is provid-
ed. In the second place the issuance
of 100000 in park bonds means that
most Of it will find its way into the
channels of trade, making work better.

THE SAME CONTAINING FEW UNBIASED OPINIONS ABOUT
MATTERS OF MORE OR LESS INTEREST TO THE PUBLIC

OF course you have heard the story
of the man who was once offered the
whole state of Texas in exchange for
pair of boots.
Why didn't he accept the offer9
Well, he didn't have the boots.
Today Lincoln has an offer, and Lin
coin also has the boots. And if Lin
coin does not accept the "swap, then
so much the worse for Lincoln.
In other words, Lincoln is offered
today what it must sooner or later pur-
chase, and which can be purchased to-
day cheaper than it will ever again DC
offered. Reference is had to available
park sites. love to think OF the brave
old pioneers, many of them dead and
gone, but some of whom are yet with
us, who had faith in Lincoln and who
laid out the original town site. l say
love to think of them, but every now
and then l take a few minutes off to
censure them for failing to pro-
vide for an ample park system. OF
course they didn't realize what the fu-
ture held in store for Lincoln-and no
more do we of this generation. But we
know we have a city of fifty or sixty
thousand people, and we know it is go
ing to grow and prosper as the years
come and go. Now let us realize the
necessity of providing park system
and set about doing it.

Tobey or Hayward That is the ques-
tion that is puzzling the republican
managers in the First district. Brer
Hayward is depending upon his con-
nection with the state and national
committees, together with his record
for pulchritude; Tobey seems to be
banking on his record as successful
senatorial secretary and his advocacy
of a dry policy under the guise of
county option. In the meanwhile sew
eral other gentlemen who have had the
matter under consideration have con-
cluded that this isn't a good year,
therefore will step aside and give the
young men chance.

will bond myself to pay the city $1UU
a month for term of years in return
for the ice and boating concessions,
and also agree to raise the present con-
crete dam and make as pretty lake
as any park west of the Mississippi
river contains.
During the last city campaign we
were told that if Lincoln continued
the dry" policy it would die of "dry
rot.'' Here is an opportunity for the
''drys" to prove the statement false.
Let us vote the park and high school
bonds with whoop and show
the world that we are on the upgrade.
The defeat Of the bonds will be herald
ed by the enemies of the no-icense pol
icy as proof of the towns decay. We
cant afford that. And if the advo-
Gates of license are as greatly interest
ed in the city's welfare as they claim
and l believe they are-they will
vote to give us modern high school
and an up-to-date park system.
Here's good chance to boost for
Lincoln. Here's a good chance to get
together for the interests of the whole
community. If the Lincoln Ad Club
wants to do something that will make
it famous through all the years to
come let it take charge of the park
campaign and whoop it up proper. I'd
rathe have the Lincoln Ad Club be-
hind "a proposition like that-some-
thing that meant the welfare of the
community-than any other agency.
That organization is made up of Give
Ones" l hope it will pardon me for
the suggestion, but I respectfully ask
it to get together and frame up a
plan of campaign having for it's object
the carrying of the high school and
park bond propositions by practically
unanimous vote.
