league in the city council chamber
last night voted for the following
resolution against Senate File los,
relating to proposed grant Of
added power to the city commits
sion:
Resolved, That it is the con-
sensus of opinion that at this meet
ing of taxpayers and citizens of
Omaha, that Senate File los be
indefinitely postponed, and that
members of the legislature repre-
senting Douglas county be in
structed to vote as a unit to kill this
bill for the reason that it takes
away from the people Of Omaha
the right to initiate upon the ques-
ton of public improvements and
gives the city government of OH
aha more power and liberty than
we wish given, unless it is brought
to vote of the people"

luton. S. Arion Lewis was chair
man and IT.. Mcclure secretary of

Objections To Bill.
The chief objections to the BILL
which is championed by City Com
missioner FOWL, was that feature
which would give to the city coun-
Gil the right to initiate public i'm
provements, subject to protests
from property owners, such protests
to be filed in 10 days.
FOWL was the target for many
random shots when he obtained the
floor to explain his position.
Il am going to be governed by
what you people want" he said.
Il think it is unfair to say that the
only amendment to his bill should
be indefinite postponement. Resi-
dents in many districts are crying
for relief. The personal equation
in a neighborhood frequently de-
feats an improvement which would
be welcomed if initiated by the
council"

the first outburst.

satisfactory as to number but in

guarantee them and the parents of
these young girls refused to let their
daughters come. We most assured

And here tonight in the mellow light,
We sit at Delmonico's.
Your eyes are as deep as the DEVON springs,
Your hair as black at jet,
Your life is new your love is new,
And your soul untried as yet.
Our path is on the Kimmeridge clay,
And the scarp Of the perbeck-fags,
We have left our bones in the bagshot stones
In the deep Of the Coraline crags
Our life is old, our love is old,
And death shall come aman,
Should it come today
What man shall say,
We shall not live again
Nature sowed our seeds in the Tremadoc
beds,
And furnished them wings to fly.
She sowed our spawn in the worlds dim
dawn,
And I know it will not die;
Tho cities have sprung above the graves,
Where crooked boned men made war;
And the oxwain croaks FER the buried caves,
Where the mummied mammoths are.
Then as we linger at luncheon here,
Der many dainty dish;
Let us drink anew, to the time when you,
Were a tadpole and I was fish.

ever, the man in question has so much love
for the colored folks, if he had used his
think tank he would have readily seen he
could have been of far greater service to
the colored folks by remaining a white man
and using his influence with his white
friends to better the conditions of the black
folks. What the black folks of this country
need more than anything else is strong
friend at court, who eats and sleeps with
the ruling class Of white folks and who will
plead their case when they are not present.

EVOLUTION
By Langdon Smith

BY Langdon Smith
When you were a ad-pole and was fish,
In the Palazotic Time;
And side by side, in the ebbing tide
We crawled thru the ooze and slime,
Or skitted with many caudal flip,
Thru the depth of the Cambrian fen
My heart was rife, with the joy of life
For l loved you even then
Mindless we lived and mindless we loved,
And mindless at last we died;
And deep in the rift of the Carodic drifts,
We slumbered side by side,
The ages turned in the lathe of Time,
The hot lands, heaved amain;
Till we caught our BREATH
From the womb of death,
And crept into life again.
We were Amphibians, scaled and tailed,
And drab as dead mans hand.
We crawled at ease, meath the dripping
trees
Or trailed thru the mud and sand,
Cracking and blind with our three clawed
feet,
Writing language dumb
With never a spark, in the empty dark,
TO hint at the life to come
Yet happy we lived, and happy we loved
And happy we died once more
mould
On an Necomonian shore
The Eons came and the Eons fled,
And the sleep that wrapped us fast
Fled swift away in a brighter day
And the night of death was past.
Fled swift away in brighter day
And the night of death was past.
Then light and free, thru the jungle trees
We swung our airy flights
Or basked beneath the fronded palms
In the hush of those mooness nights,
And oh, what beautiful years were these,
When our hearts chung each to each;
When our souls were filled and our senses
thrilled
In the first faint dawn of speech.
Thus life by life and love by love
We passed thru the cycle strange,
And breath by breath and death by death
We followed the chain of change,
Till their came a time in the law Of life
When FER the nursing sod
The shadows broke and the soul awoke
In strange dim dream Of God.
I was thewed like an Aurox bull,
And tusked like a great bear;
And you my sweet, from head to feet
Were gowned, in your glorious hair
There in the gloom of the ireless cave
When night fell ger the plain
The moon hung low, DER the river bed
AS we munched at the bones Of the slain.
I faxed flint, to cutting edge,
And shaped to with british craft;
I broke shank, from the woodland dank,
And fitted it head and haft;
Then | hid me in the ruddy tarn,
Where the mammoth came to drink,
Thru Drawn and bone, l drove that stone;
And slew him on the brink
Loud, hwoled, thru the moonlit waste
Loud answered our Kith and Kin;
From West and East to the crimson feast
The elan came trooping in.
Ger bone and gristle and padded hoof,
We clawed and chewed and tore;
And cheek by jowl, with many growl,
We talked that marvel DER.
