BOTH SIDES CLAIM VICTORY
Those For and Against Annexation
Assert They Have Won.
DECISION COMES ON SATURDAY
Murphy Says He Has Been Able 90
Get Enough Names Off the Pc
tition, While Dreen says
Enough WIN stay.

Victory in the fight over the proposed
special election to determine whether or
not Omaha and South Omaha shall be
merged. was claimed by both the annex
ationists and the anti-annexationists Fri
DAY morning. when the checkers and can
vassers completed their work on the an
nexation election petitions and the pro-
test petitions which the anti-annexation-
lists filed.
Henry C. Murphy. city attorney of
South Omaha. leader OF the anti-annexa-
tionists. said;
"of the 1910 names we protested as I'M
registered, the canvassers have found
about IS per cent were registered. The
other 65 per cent are not registered and
must como off the election petition. This
win cut II down 70 about 1900. We have
about 800 Withdrawals. that Will reduce
It down to 1000. The petition then will
be about 800 short OF 10 per cent of reg
istered voters, which is required to call
the special election"
Members of the canvaSslng board said
about 90 per cent OF the protested names
are unregistered and probably viii have
to be stricken from the petitions.
John p. Breen. attorney for the annexa'
tionists, declared he will show that many
protested slgners are registered, ever
though the canvassers and checkers
failed TO find them on the registration
books.
The big fight over the question whether
or not a special election shall be called
viii come Saturday morning. when tn,
Board OF County Commissioners takes NJ
the question for final consideration ant
action.
II the board indicates an intention o.
ordering the election. the antl-annexation
lists probably will go into court and ash
an injunction against such action.

with tense lips ana the nags broke out
like blossoms on orchards in the glory
Of their stars and the intensity Of their

the pledge Of Americans to America
That congress delayed while the storm
Of demand grew louder? That McExin-

fought Gettysburg and Charlottesville
against its own blood!
Men have grown old since then. The
boy who marched away has son or

as in desert. The gray is in their hair.
the lines deepen in their faces. The

honor the gathering. For these were
the sons of those who fought the
great war, brave and faithful as they,
and their sons shall follow them.

GETTING MAD At BRYAN,

Leading dem ocratS are reported
angry with Mr.. Bryan over his declara-
ton for free raw wool. Even Champ
planning The harmon. which shone
brightly for the moment is under a
cloud
However Mr. Bryan is only keeping
the democratic party on its founda-
TORS. Mr. Clark and others who have
aspirations are willing and anxious to
trade the traditions Of democracy for
q mess of presidential and postoffice
pottage. Free wool and free everything
else is a. cornerstone of democracy. Mr..
Bryan is building on the rock of dem
ocratic foundation. Messrs. Clark, ct
al. are trying to carry water on both
shoulders, begging protectionist votes
at the back door Of the opposing party.
Democratic leaders may grow angry
with Bryan. That is their privilege
But democratic leaders" come and go
while Bryan goes on forever. Bryan is
the dictator Of democracy. Without
him the party would be a coterie. At
tempt to set Bryan aside would turn it
into q mob.
Dem ocratic leaders" who are hope
f1l candidates for high places are be-
tween the devil and the deep sea- Mr..
Bryan is the deep sea- He will be there
when a lot nf "demncratic leaders,
have been forgotten exercising his
mighty influence on the climate Of con-
ventfons and campaigns. If he may not
be president tlimsek, II he is unable to
say who shall be the presidential nomi-
nee he is still able to select and say
who shall not be president. Getting
mad at Bryan has never brought a
! democratic leader" anything.

Mr.. Bryan quoted the German en-
perora speech to his naval officers, In
which he counseled abstinence, saying.
1.-THE nation that absorbs tho least
amount of alcohol will carry homo the
victory"
Il place the testimony Of this Ger
man emperor against that Of the Ger
man brewers" shouted MT. Bryan.
while they are substituting the
newspapers by pouring money Into

many wisely counseled his subjects to
rise above their enemy Of all mankind
1.-THE Christian can justify total abb
stinence on several grounds. Or, to
make it stronger, j may say that sew
eral considerations compel total alb
stinence on the part of the Christian.
Drinking is injurious to the body, to
the mind and to the morals. 1t may
not be possible to prove the injurious
effect Of a single drop or a small guam
tity Of alcoholic liquor, but there Is
sufficient scientific evidence to leave
no reason for doubt that even social

err Of the body to resist disease, i'm
Pairs the strength Of the mind and
weakens the moral element In man.
1.-The Christian can not afford to
spend on liquor money that is 30 badly
needed, for other and better things. I
do not speak now Of the diversion Of
money actually needed by the family.

ures domestic injustice that figures

the occasional injustice that figures

liquor which some attempt to excuse

Who can consider the vast amount Of
ignorance in the world that money can
lessen, the vast amount OF suffering
that money can relieve and insist that
a Christian can with propriety invest
any sum. however small, In intoxicat-
ing liquor.
IT shall suggest a few things for
consideration in the way Of legisla
ton. DO not go as far as some do In

AUTO RACING AND BuLLEleH1iNe.

The automobile race at Indianapolis
is luckily over. Somebody won 1t. no
matter who or in what car, that Is a
story for the next booklet to be issued
by the manufacturers and for display
advertisements in the magazines, but
it was lucky by comparison because
only one man was killed outright and
but few seriously injured. and these
confined to participants. The wonder
is that more were not killed. When
forty cars are sent away on speed
way two miles and a half long at a
speed of seventy-five miles an hour,
when men drive for nearly seven hours
at this speed under such strain il is a
very lucky race which only kills one
and hurts but a few and those not
spectators.
Perhaps it is sport It certainly Is
not fun. 1t Is hard to see whom it
serves except those who crave I'M
healthful excitement and those who
make automobiles for sale. AS an adj
Perhaps the drivers winnings are
worth the stakes they risk. But as
sport these contests between profess
sional speed maniacs are unhealthful
and as opposed to good public polity as
gladitorial contests to the death.
They have an effect upon childish or
weak and degenerate minds similar to
that exercised by the Series of nickel
thrillers which magnify the proves Of
Bloody Gulch Pete" or the moving
pictures which elevate the Jesse James
type into heroisn. They arouse enlula-
ton. The fellow with more money
than he ought to have and with nothing
to do gets a high power machine and
puts human life in danger making be-
live" that he is the "Blody Pete" Of the
speedway. The natural tendency Of
all to high speed Is emphasized by the
as the man with a god horse drives
little faster coming home from the har-
ness races. But the impulse of emula-
ton swells in the speed maniac and to
the result that his disregard of speed
limits and the rights Of others is borne
by all who drive machines for business
or on pleasure.
The automobile race, if ii is to be run
belongs on such speedways as that at
Indiana polls. But even there it is on
the principle Of Spanish bullfight.
