Thomas L. Lewis said at the Toronto

Of Labor: II represent the largest union
in the world in any one industry. That
union recognized the evil of intemperance
by Incorporating In It's constitution an
article to the effect that no member

Very true. But Is II not TO be expected
that a man who would not keep his.word
might also easily violate his oathH What
then is to be doneI A member of the
legislature could scarcely be expected to
vote to impeach a governor OF his own
party. and no more would a Congressman
vote to impeach a president OF his own
party. President Wilson. as we'll as Gov
ernor Morehead. has violated his oath to
support the constitution. Have the peo-
pie no remedy The burning shame Of II
is that the people win elect such men to
office; even uphold them In wronEdoing,
and throw rotten eggs and dead cats at
those who denounce them for their mis-
doings.

Timely sug@estiona for Ak-snr-Beu.
OMAHA, Oct. 16.--The the Editor Of The
Bee; understand that The Bee was the
paper that printed the first protest in an
editorial against repeating the downtown
attempts at q carnival during Ak-sar- Ben
week.
like the old world carnival and all that
Il can mean to the masses of people l
have q few suggestions to make and II
any Of them can be used, you are well
come to than;
1. Let there be holidays for two conse-
cutive afternoons and evenings for all
employees dncluding the newspapers) of
wholesale and retail houses whose heads
are members OF the Ak-sar-Ben associ-
alton. These holidays to be either the
last two days Of the week or whatever
days the association decides are best
for the business interests OF those stores.
3 For . parade let us have an old
fashioned and modern civil parade-Iet
us see ''the city at work" on lines similar
to the popular and instructive screen OF
Uncle Sam at work" There IL always
In our city q generation that has never
seen complete parade OF the police de-
partHent ana fire-and all the other de-
partments that 20 to make the city as
II is and Just as important az It might be-
As an added attraction, let the gov
ernOrs encourage all the foreign born
residents OF residents Of foreign extrac-
tiOn Of the city to appear in our parks
In native costumes during the holiday
afterneens and evenings. Let there be
costumes 81 italians. Swiss, German,
Dutch, Scotch, Irish. Russian. Behenalans,
Spantsh-let there be a veritable carnival
Of ceior in the costumes and masques-
let the park department cooperate to the
extent OF providing temporary pavllIons
for the folk dances in the evenings-these
pavilions, to be decorated by the Ak
sar-Ben force that can decorate any
board out of all resemblance to its original
shape. Let US have attractive booths and
inns" and 'chateaus" and cottages
where pretzel and cider and cheese or
brown October ale can be bought
Think how Elmwood would lend itself
to all this wholesome, natural frolicl How
Miss Mary Wallace would develop the
folk dances In costumes and Miss Eliza
beth Mitchell the children's songs and
dances. The chiidren's rehearseIs could
be arranged in the Auditorium. The ex-
hibition would show many Of us whether
our kindergarten work Is done by the
most approved and progressive methods.
South Omaha has always surpassed
Omaha in this branch. OF education and
amusements. OF course there will be
pretty lights and more Of them, music
a-plenty and suggestions for other enter
tsinnient az the year rolls around. But
as an idea upon which to work and giving
something serious along with the gay,
let US ask the Ak-sar-B Ben governors to
csassasr these susgsstions for next year.
