The capital correspondent OF our local demo
cratic contemporary boasts OF the services being
rendered by the democrats on the Board OF Re-
gents OF the University OF Nebraska, and praises
them as big business men giving their time and
talent without reward to the institution All
that he says OF these men may be true. and will
not be disputed. but what OF the other NOM
bers OF the board, who are not democrats, but
who are also big business men and devoting
their best abilities just as freely to and eftec-
lively to the university Efforts to involve the
University OF Nebraska in partisan politics
ought to be rebuked at any time. The service
of the school essentially depends on its indepen-
dence OF and freedom from partisan influence
however remotely exerted The long list OF able
men who have served as regents without emoIu-
ment is the best possible evidence Of the re-
gard the people have for the university. The
present attempt to gain little partisan credit
for the democrats at the expense OF this great
educational institution, cheapens even that
party's standing.

OMAHA, Dec. 2-To the Editor Of The
Bee: Your edition OF November 20 gave
the information that the Ancient order of
United Workmen band had paraded the
downtown streets and that large banners
were displayed which showed the nature
of the parade TO be a protest against the
recent action OF the city commissioners
In deciding that only union bands would
be hired to play at the parks next sum
mer. The Musicians union had supposed
that all fraternal lodges were founded
on brotherhood embodied in the noble
purpose of the care of the sick, the
burial of the dead and the maintenance
OF the dear ones left behind This latest
innovation of the Ancient Order of United
Workmen band gives the impression that
perhaps the founder OF the Ancient Order
OF United Workmen forgot to include the
principle OF the open shop" II may BIS
possible, however, that the brother pro-
moters OF this band yielded to the tempta-
ton TO use the prestige OF the order for
speculative purposes and that maybe this
recent parade protest against the hiring
OF union labor Is not on a moral plane
with the pronounced tenets OF the order.
For the sake OF enlightenment on this
point the Musicians union will be thank
full II some officer or members OF the
Ancient Order of United Workmen will
answer the following query. viz; How
can the Ancient Order OF United Work
men justify its position in maintaining
a band. giving said band the lodge name.

PRINCE CONSOLIDATED
BUILDING BIG RESERVE

Prince Consolidated of Phoebe has been
a day since the first of March, which
is an increase of 100 tons day. When
this campaign of increased output was
inaug lratsd there was approximately
$4,000 in the treasury and the only
o.ligat on which amounted to anything
WIS a sum owing to the smelling com
pany. and which is beng discharged at
the rate of soc ton on the ore ship
ped In other words the company added
to it's surplus at the rate of approxi-
mately $125 a day, because the ore, it
is an iron manganese product, yields a
net profit of 75c per ton.
While no intimation of its intention
abs yet been officially announced by
the management, belief exists that
the company will shortly declare divi-
dend for modest amount. That dis
tribution will be made not later than
June or July is the conviction of the
tai mt in the brokage field and friends
of the company who profess to know
what is contemplated.
