Where Was the Chief?

~--O
Omaha. Nov. $40 the Editor
Of The Bee: Much has been said
in the Omaha and other papers re-
garding the burning Of our million
dollar court house September 2S. /
will ask II 1t is not fact that the
chief of the Omaha police at IL a.
m. on day Of fire was advised that
mob was forming for the purpose
Of lynching the negro? This being
so, he had ample time to have called
on 100 or more men to assist him
and his forces-that could have pro-
tected the building and negro
against any outside mob, of 5000
men or more. During the civil war
in 1852 myself and a party of other
>union soldiers were detailed to
guard a passage through the noun
tains, with orders from our captain
to hold same at all hazard against
500 southern cavalry soldiers, Which,
we did. Had we not done so we
would have been called towards and
would have disgraced the union
army. We had much less protec-
ton than the Omaha police force
would have had. 1t does, seem to
me and others so silly to think that
an unorganized and unarmed lot of
poSS sHOuiu nave DeoU dllOWed to
have taken and burned the court
house as against the old organized
armed force of police if they had
leader. Where, oh where was our
chief OF police all this time that he
did not have his force fully organ
lied? If he was in the United
States army in charge Of company
Of men and allowed his post or fort
to be taken when he had 100 or
more men under his command, he
would have been court martialed.

Will also ask why girls and bows
from II to IS years old are allowed
to run automobiles while alone in
the car or with other children
through our streets at a. high rate of
speed, often after dark, without
lights on either end of the car, and
without number? They are seen
by the police department and know
the ordinance is, being violated. Per-
haps they are not yet fully organ
lied to handle this class of dutv

And the whole earth was of one

And it came to pass. as they

And they said one to another.
Go to. let us make brick. and burn

And they said, Go to. let us
build us a city. and a tower. whose
top may reach unto heaven; and let
us make us name, lest we be
scattered abroad upon the face Of
the whole earth
And the Lord came down to
see the city and the tower. which
the children of men builded.
And the Lord said, Behold. the
people is one. and they have all one
language; and this they begin to
do: and now nothing will be re-
strained from them, which they
nave imagined to do.
Go to. let us go down. and
there confound their language, that
they may not understand one an
others speech.
So the Lord scattered them
abroad from thence upon the face
OF all the earth: and they left of
to build the city.
Therefore is the name OF it
called Babel: because the Lord did
there confound the language of all
