Shall the Liquor Dealer be Compensated
for the Loss of His Business?

Every time outraged plundered community
rises up in its might and knocks its booze joints into
smithereens, a. yawp goes up from set of namby-
pamby people about remunerating the saoonsts tor
the loss of their business This the siest kind OF
twaddle The supreme court of the United States
fixed the social status of the liquor traffic when it
branded it as an unparalleled source of crime and
misery The tribunal virtually settled the ques-
ton of legal compensation when it declared that. no
man had an inherent right to traffic in 1ntox1cants
The saloonst is lawbreaker, pure and simple, and
has the same legal standing as common thief In
reality he is worse than thief. AS well pirate

OMAHA IS CLEANING Up
DEVASTATED DISTRICT CLEANED
IN REMARKABLY SHORT TIME.
Fortunate Residents Are Most Cen
erous to Victims of Great.
Tornado.
Western New.paper rnI9n News servIee.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver, April Streets in the de-
yastated district Of Omaha have been
cleared and the telephone system put
into service, according to O. G. Fal-
kenburg, who has arrived in Denver
from the stricken city. Conditions in
Omaha, he says, were much more ter
rible than the newspaper reports and
none but those who saw the results
Of the tornado could appreciate it.
But now the city has so far recov-
cred from the first shock that the
conditions are back as nearly normal
as they can be until the wreckage
Is cleared away and the devastated
! district rebuilt.
Mr.. Falkenburg, whose entire fam.
lily escaped, spoke highly of the gen.
erosity Of the people who are making
! 1t possible for Omaha to take care OF
| its people in the time of distress
| Landlords are allowing persons wha
are penniless to live in houses free
| furniture men are furnishing them
| without any stipulation as to pay
ments and even the draymen of the
| city are contributing their share to
the good work by hauling everything
free.
The district struck by the tornado
has been roped off and none except
those bearing city pass are allowed
in it.
Among the freaks perpetrated by
the storm was one which resulted in
the death of Mr.. Falkenburg's closest
friend. He was walking down Twen-
ty-fourth street when he noticed the
cyclone approaching and decided to
enter a nearby pool hall. Just as he
opened the rear door the wind caught
him, hurled him two blocks and
dashed out his life against a tele-
graph pole.
The Omaha man told of one pool
hall where twenty-five negroes lost
their lives.
Saturday night 115 bodies had been
recovered, though the wreckage of 4
moving picture show which was de-
stroyed, has not given up its dead.
The sections which suffered most
from the tornado were around Forti-
eth and Farnum, Thirty-second and
Cummings and Twenty-fOurth and
Lake, where many people had paid
$1,000 to $1,000 on their homes. These
the tornado crumbled and left them
nothing. Mr. Falkenburg told of a
friend who had made the last pay
ment on his home a month ago and
now has nothing but the lot
Many of the freaks of the wind
which many persons have credited to
the imagination are true, according
The Arvada enterprise., 1913-04-03

to Mr.. Falkenburg. He said he saw
one place where lace curtain Tad
been driven through the glass in a
window.
Monday after the storm the rescu.
ers found a man and his wife hiding
in the ruins of their home afraid to
90 out until they were certain the
storm had passed. Although the house
was little more than a pile OF kin
ding wood neither had suffered.
NJ. c. Malley. a day clerk at the
Elk hotel, heard that Galesburg, H.,
had not suffered in the tornado Re.
ports said that eight had been killed
and fifty injured in this town. Mr..
Malley's parents and other members
of the family live in Galcsburg.
