Mayor p j. Trainor met che police de.
partment last night at roll call on be.
half Of the Board OF Fire and Police
Commissioners and informed the patrolmer
that each man would be held responsible
for his own beat in the matter OF illegal
sales OF liquor This action by the mayor
followed a meeting OF the board, at which
Bookkeeping and other forms Of disorder,
especially pool hall gambling, were dis
cussed. After the question was thoroughly
threshed over the board adopted a resolu-
ton, holding each patrolman responsible
for his beat, and he will be required to de-
tect and arrest parties engaged In the pro-
hiblted forms of business.
Many complaints have been lodged with
the board concerning these forms of dis
order and 1t has been found out that the
patrolmen usually do not interfere with
out orders covering each special case from
the police authorities higher up.
This practice, II the orders OF the board
hold, is to be reversed and the patrolmen
will be required to make immediate ar
rest Of any parties detected.
New Voting Machines.
Since the division of South Omaha into
seven wards it will be necessary for the
city to purchase two new voting machines.
A committee OF the South Omaha council
held conference on the matter Friday
! and determined to order the machines;
that they might be on hand In time for the
| November election
Last spring in South Omaha the demo-
Gratis objected very strongly to having the
machines voted out, believing they had a
better chance with their use The same
is now held by the same party which
banks on the local popularity of the demo-
cratic candidate for governor. They fig
ure that all republicans voting for Dahl
man will pull the democratic lever. Tho
fact is there is no reason for doing this
whatever. The republican should always
pull his own party lever. then wishing to
vote for a democrat, change his ticket.
This will give his own candidates the
preference where he does not know them
personally or have reason to cancel their
names.
