unprotected. In six years sal deaths

reported from these places. The fig

the question is put mp squarely TO a

lt is a reasonable inference that

be intelligently passed on at the
ballot box; certainly not without
thorough discussion in a campaign
of education.
The people OF Omaha can, how

doubtless do by voting for seven-for-
