Our amiable democratic contem-
porary is trying desperately to make
out that Omaha has been grossly in
suited by Governor Aldrich, although
It parties his charge of election manip-
ulation by saying that the number of
illegal votes cannot be anywhere near
SO many as be intimates. People who
have done nothing wrong are not
easily insulted, neither are cities or
communities that have been travelling
the straight path. II there have been
election frauds in Omaha let us have
them exposed and their repetition pre-
vented.

OMAHA Neb.. Jan. aO.-To the Editor OF
The Bee: II seems that Omaha is not the
only city which is disfigured by these ad-
vertising posters on telegraph poles and
fences although perhaps exceptional in not
doing anything to abate the nusances.
read this item In Sundays issue OF the
Chicago Record-IIerald:
An order will be issued by Chief OF Po-
lice Steward tomorrow prohibiting the
posting OF campaign literature on trolley
and electric light posts and the supports
Of the elevated railroad lines which prac-
tce in former years has had tendency to
make parts OF the downtown district un-
slightly
notice will also be sent to all COM
handing officers to sec that the order Is
complied with and to arrest any persons
found violating Il.
Why can't the Omaha police do some
thing to stop the same kind OF offense
against our city ordinances?

AQUATIC AVIATORs.
New Development of the Art of
Flying.
Pittsburg DISPATCH

New Development of the Art of
Flying,
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Ely's flights from shore to ship and from
ship TO shore, hailed as such an achieve
ment, were made possible only by elabor-
ate preparations on the cruisers, including
the construction of an extended landing
deck of large proportions. This left in
doubt whether in case of emergency when
such landing stage might not be avail
able the aviator might not have to turn
around and sail right off again. The sue
cess Of the experiments by Curtiss on
San Diego bay, however, reduce Ely's feats
to the commonplace, since he has estab-
lshed that he can both land" on the
water itself and arise from it. In other
words, instead of having to make a spe-
cislly constructed landing deck he can drop
alongside the ship and be lifted aboard or
can be launched to the surface of the
water and start back 10 shore from there.
or course this requires a CLASSY sea, but
that shortcoming does not affect the USE
fulness of the demonstration, since the air
ship is yet a fair weather craft and a
wind that would so roughen the water as
to prevent landing upon II would prob
ably also prevent the aviator flying there
at all
Meanwhile the latest achievement in the
world Of aviation transforms the men
birds into ducks.

THE TRANSFORMATION OF PA.

e. Kiser in the Record Herald
When pa came home the other night ma
had a paper there
That told about a husbandette somebody
Ma tried to not let on at first she'd read
about the case,
But pa picked up the sheet and saw whore
she had marked the place;
She watched him while he read II throuEhi
before that ia Of bet
Most anything l had that pa was not q
husbandette
He laid the paper down at last and gisrsd
at ma while
so that's the kind of stuff you resdT'' he
said to ma, at last;
You'd better change your habit, ana you'd
better change It fastl
At homes decent woman's plaoe-just
keep that In your mind
These suffragettes are R7disgracs TO gentle
womankind." ''-'
At last when ma could get = chance she
started in to speak;
1 couldn't tell you all she said II would
take week..
She told us how pa had forgot to register
And when he tried to interrupt she wouldn't
stop at all;
She picked the paper up where pa had
flung II on the floor,
And read about men selling votes-and
then she talked some more.
She asked pa what he'd ever done 20
show that he was great
And spoke about the night before when
he was out so late;
She told US she could tell some things
pa didn't know she knew;
He kind OF shFunk down In his chair and
seemed to tremble, too,
And when the argument was don0 pas
brow was kind OF wet;
Since then, somehow, II looks as though
he was a husbandette. "rFa

SEWARD, Neb., Jan. SOTO the Editor
OF The Bee: II seems to be a problem
hard TO solve how to employ convict labor
and not interfere with free labor which
must be avoided under all circumstances.
Rather let the convict be Idle than have
him interfere with the employment Of any
free man who has his family to support.
Several states have established binder
Irvine mills at the penitenuary. and at
present we have a bill introduced in the
house of representatives to establish one
here in Nebraska. It Is pointed out that
Nebraska has no Irvine mills and therefore
would not interfere with free labor. Il
also Is contended that It would furnish
cheaper Irvine to the farmers. This all
sounds very good, and at the first thought
one would be inclined to endorse the same.
But. fortunately, Nebraska can take ad-
vantage of other states who have tried the
costly experiment and from the universal
failures which they have almost all made
Il would be folly for our state to venture
into It,
II the prison Irvine OF Kansas Is such q
snap to the Kansas farmer, then why did
the warden have TO solicit the implement
dealers Of Nebraska for the last three years
70 Htlp W ulHpOse VI AWlnGf III INC Ahte
of the fact that he has not one-fourth
enough to supply the Kansas farmers?
Why not use our convicts for public i'm
provements, which will be a benefit to
everyone living in the state? There is, in
the first place, our public highways. II
has been practically demonstrated that
convicts can be used to good advantage in
! building and improving public highways
Furthermore, our state has a large acre
age Of a so-called sandy region which in
| fits present condition is practically worth
less. In fact, this sandy region in the
northwest has a great deal to do with oul
dry spells during the hot summer months
II this sandy region could be turned into
| pine forest how different would It be. 1
would not take a great appropriation TO n
out a camp Of about ten or twenty mul,
teams. a few plows and cultivators, and
| put out a good number of convicts TO turn
! thousands OF acres OF those sand hills int
a fine forest. Further, we have quite
lot OF low land in the state which needs
draining. In its present condition II Il
worthless. The convicts could be used L
drain this land and make valuable farm

OMAHA Neb Jan. SOTO the Editor Of
The Bee: / suppose from the way the
legislature seems disposed to treat the
governors proposition Of centering in the
chief executive of the state the power of
appointing the registration and election
boards Of Omaha II IL not worth while
getting excited over the matter. I would
like simply to say one word about II. MIR,
Aldrich's theory is that by giving this
power to the governor II would put the
best citizens in charge of our election
places, instead of an indlscrmlnate lot.
Now, Mr.. Aldrich finds fault with the
Dahlman regime in Omaha. So do I. But
Mayor Dahlman ran for governor. Suppose
he had been elected, would Mr.. Aldrich
then have advocated this theory? Would
such power lodged in the governor then
have given the city OF Omaha the relief to
which the governor points? Would he ex-
pect Dahlman. as governor, TO do better
than as mayor? imagine Governor Aid
