P1en for citizens. Ticket.


OMAHA, oct. 15-To the Editor of The
Bee: Every citizen OF Omaha who has
tho interest of the public school at heart,
and particularly every woman who be-
lieves in fair play for the women teachers
in our schools, should register emphatic
disapproval OF the Omaha Board Of Edu-
cation, as now constituted. by voting the
entire citizens ticket at the coming cleo
ton
The action OF the present board in dis
charging Miss Stegner and demoting the
other teachers who testified in the recent
Rusmisel hearing after being promised
absolute protection, is direct notice to
the teachers of Omaha that hereafter
they must keep their mouths shut. no
matter how fragrant a wrong they may
know to exist. The entire teaching corps
of Omaha understand full well that ST.
lence on their part in the face Of the
most exasperating conditions, is the price
OF their Jobs.
The prattie about loyalty 20 the board
deceives nobody. The board makes the
mistake in assuming that the board MEM
bers are the employers OF our teachers
They are not. The teachers are respon-
sible TO the people OF Omaha and not to
Dit Holovtchiner or any of his assoc
ciates.
The citizens ticket is pledged to put an
end to the one-man power on tho school
board There are eight places to fill on
the school board and four members Of the
board hold over. II the element now In
power can elect only two or three at the
coming election they will be satisfied. In
order to secure new deal, the people
should vote for the entire citizens ticket.

who three years ago organised them
selves into the citizens union to select
men for the city commlssion3 Is II a re-
yival OF the same old organization that
suffered such disastrous defeat at the
hands Of the people three years ago3
Are they the stragglers of that shattered
and tattered army which bumped up
against the terrific fire from the bat
teries of the common people? Why has
the self-constltuted citizens committee
which is presenting it's School Board
candidates. picked from the upper 400 and
ignored any aspirant from the plain COM
mon people9 What is the standard which
the citizens union committee has put up
70 make one eligible 20 become a candi-
dater Is the amount of riches men can
show the prime qualification for eligi'
bflity to become a candidate for public
office? Is good business sense and
sturdy honesty of the average American
not sufficient to make him eligible TO
serve the people? Must man belong to
the silk stocking brigade, live in palace
on upper Farnam, or belong TO the ex-
elusive set OF the Omaha club, Country
club. or other millionaire organizations
before he can aspire to serve the COM
mon people in the city commission Of the
School Board7
Why Is it the citizens union committee
totally ignored tho wishes OF the people
who have solicited. persuaded and in
dorsed certain candidates from their own
wards. and instead are trying TO ram
down their threats men who are not in
sympathy with the plain people. who have

Ihen go back unto Boyland .-
As IL wings were on my feet
10 Boyland, dreaming Boyiand.
Whefe the voices sing and call
through the golden mists OF autumn
When the ripened chestnuts fall!
We forget the old road often.
And the dust OF toll and strife
Hides the valley OF its magic
In the later years of life;
But It's not so hard to find IL
When again you chance to see
The ripe persimmons hanging
on the old persimmon tree:
To Boyland. loved old Boyland
With its music and its thrall.
When tho frost has k'st the pumpkins
And the ripened chestnuts fall
1t makes our old limbs tremble
When we think sometimes how far
The road runs back TO Boyland
And its shining morning star;
But the loved abode Of memory
Draws so close, so close again,
When the dear old things in nature
Wake the slumbering dreams of men;
To Boyland, far-off Boyland.
Why, it's just beyond the wall
When Octobers in the woodland
And the ripened chestnuts fall!

"spIrit of Fight"


OMAHA. oct Ito the Editor Of The
Bee: The small boy goes about with A
chip on his shoulder and with doubled
fists and says Knock II off II YOU
dare!' The young man stops to fight
out Of fear OF being called coward
while the old man raps you with his cane
" he Is crossed. The spirit OF fight is
Unborn in every man and beast.
Talk about arbitration why We all
fight first and then peacefully settle our
differences by talk. We seem to fight
by nature. as our forefathers have done
ever since the Stone Age. And it's nature
for nations to war as we'll as individuals.
The Bible tells us that there will be
wars and devsstations OF wars before
the end.
Conflicts will never cease until the
world Is Christianised,, but It must be
greater Christianity than that now being
enjoyed by Europe. 1t must be the
brotherhood Of man with one form one
denomination. one Interpretation, one
church and one God! Then. but not until
then, can we talk about universal

SOUTH OMAHA, Oct. 16.-To the Editor
OF The Bee In answer to f. A. Ag-
news last letter, 1 repeat that IL the
republican and progressive parties could
unite on Colonel Roose yet for president
in 1916 he would be elected just as sure
as the sun shines. and break. the said
democratic south. and no one who is not
prejudiced can dispute this fact l. al
least, have never heard 1t disputed. Get
ting the parties to unite is the greatest
question. America, and the judge, never
had a stauncher friend and servant than
T. r.. and now no is reaping ungratefui-
ness for his patriotism; but he would
rather be right than be president. hence
his nroRressive ideas, including woman
suffrage He showed more patriotism
during the spanish-American war han
any other living American, as he had
wealth and official position and yet put
himself up as a target for Spanish bull
let's. There is no argument in abuse.
