Proper Time for TeSohers' Meeting.
TEKAMAH, Neb., Nov. 22-To the
Editor OF The Bee: For the last half
dozen years in Nebraska, have been
observing the results of the times OF
holding the state Teachers convention.
and am firmly convinced the first week
in November Is not the time TO hold IT,
First by holding the meeting at this
time, there are necessarily two breaks in
school work during November. which
cannot help but work disaEtrously for the
schools About the time the work is well
organized. we close school for three days
for the association. A little later. the
Thanksgiving vacation Of two more days
comes. and school is closed again. For
the good OF the children we should change
the meeting to the first three days OF
Thanksgiving week.
Second. II will be far better for the
teachers themselves. All persons ac-
quainted with school work know what Il
means to have break in the continuity
OF the work.
II requires all the skill of the most ex-
pert teachers 20 hold some pupils IN
school, without any distraoting influ-
enees; but when school is closed for this
and that their work is materially in
creased. Every one OF the teachers OF

OMAHA, Nov. ALTO the Editor OF The
Bee; I notice In AIR. Meyers recent con-
trtbutlon to your columns, reference to
the subject Of compcnsating liquor dealers
who have been voted OF legislated out OF
business through prohibition. and wish TO
say that a start in that direction has al
ready been made by the city of sacra-
mento. Cal \ friend has sent me a news
paper clipping which reads. in part, as
follows:
The Sacramento ordinance passed
neal ~ two years ago, PROVIDED that 10
per cent Of the money collected from sa-
loon licenses should be paid into a saloon
reduction fund. When enough money ac-
cumplated In this fund a commission was
empowered to select some one OF the 800
sa.oons in the city and to close IT upon
payment TO the owners OF fair appraised

idea OF reducing the number OF saloons

The Sacramento ordinance, while imper-

OF it's injustice and would leave a ques-

deprive itself Of its privilege OF using ana
purchasing alcoholic beverages.

PInsterePs' side OF the settlement.
OMAHA. Nov. 22--To the Editor of The
Bee: We noticed in The Bee. an article
headed "Workmen Settle Their Strike on
Fontenelle Hotel" The article gave the
bricklayers the credit OF settling the strike
for US.
want to say that the brickIayers had
nothing whatever TO do with the So
called strike. In the first place there was
merely a Misunderstanding between the
tile settlers and the plastercrs as to the
Jurisdiction OF the line OF plastering on

argument about IL to have reached the
public. However, we would ask that you
publish this to refute the article wherein
you gave the bricklayers the credit OF
settling this strike for us. We are at
work and will be. as far as that question
is concerned. until the plssterlng and tile
setting Is completed. We ask that you
give US this writeup so all concerned can
be rightly informed. and oblige the mem

OMAHA. Nov. 22.-To the Editor OF The

All souls were created equal. One black
mans soul Is on an equality with the soul
OF q white man. but II is against all hu-
man instincts to say that two races can

with one another with the freedom and
pleasure that each race finds among its
