OMAHA, NeD., NOV. Z.-IO the EOlJoT
Of The Bee: 1t seems impossible for the
defamers Of Mr.. Wooster o. Silver Creek

disbelief in the usefulness of Billy"

That he may DO strongly convinced that
Billy" Sundays theology is harmful to
mankind as they are that It is useful.
Every right thinking man admires Mr..

and his frank and fearless expression
thereof.
He also deserves honor and respect for
not STOPPING to the level Of his would-be
defamers In heaplng the same silly per-
sonal abuse on them as they did on him.

OMAHA, Nov. 2.--To the Editor of The
Bee have been a reader OF your paper
for seven years and would like to have
you write these few lines about criticiE-
ing the police. There are men arrested
every day and sent TO the penitentiary
but 1t seems like they are pardoned--even
for murder. The police have arrested lots
OF good burglars and thieves. murderers
and every thing else that you could think
OF, and they are pardoned In a few years.
Then the public wonders why the police
don't stop crime. II the. critics would
criticize the pardon board for letting
these men out when they are caught,
there would not be so much robbing GO
ing on,
had my home burgiarized and the po-
lice arrested the man WITH my jeweIry
on his person, and in nine months he
was caught again holding up people
Now, how on earth are they going to
stop crime this way. II the public would
stop reading that yellow sheet II would
go out OF existence. The Judge will not
do anything with the buns that come to

ed. and hundreds of boys sleeping
in tents on the college campus in
midwinter, because of this coll
fusion, arising out of the provision
of the constitution which undertook
to make the A. 6s Nj. College a part
of the University.
This seems to me to be the situa-
ton Briefly stated. Since the es-
tablishment of these institutions
many years ago, the constitution has
not been able to hold the A. a. NJ.
College TO the University as one of
its branches, and each has pursued
its independent line of development,
notwithstanding this theoretical
union.
I'm the actual operation of the
present constitution making the A.
& NJ. College a part of the tniver-
sity. the only effect has been to him
der it in the rendition of needed
service to this great agricultural
state.
THE ties which bind the A. NJ.
College to the University are not
ties that help either institution;
they 'hobbie.' The commonsense
thing to do, it seems to me. is TO
cut the .hobble' by adopting Reso-
luton No. "a. and permit the A. &
NJ. College of Texas to go forth in
unhampered service to the people of
Texas.
