Dear DR.. Lennox:
l want to congratulate you on the
splendid work which you are doing for
the colored people Of Omaha I trust
that your people really appreciate
what you are doing for them.
! was surprised to find out that the
colored people Of Omaha paid nearly
So Of the taxes Of the city and do
not have a single employee on the
payroll Of the Omaha Public school
system.
This in my opinion is very unfair
to this tax paying group. While
would only be one member of a board
of twelve, / want you to know that ]
am strongly in favor Of having color
ed tax payers being represented on
our payroll.
After all Omaha is supported by its
tax payers and these tax payers are
made up Of all races and creeds. ]
favor giving work to these tax paying
groups in proportion to the percent
age Of taxes they pay-and this
should apply to the school board pay
roll the same as it should apply tc
any other department of u city gov
eminent supported by taxes.
l want to know that / am making
this statement because I believe il
fair play to everyone
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Bessie R. Saxton.

My Dear Candidate for the Board of Education:
We, the Omaha Guides Working Mems Commits
sioners, are interested in securing our full pro-rata Of en-
ployment for our boys and girls, whom we send through
the schools. We are DESTROYS of knowing your position on
our prorata Of employment, from the school district of
Omaha.
We are 51a% of the Omaha population. We pay
51b% of the taxes directly or indirectly, which goes to
pay the salaries of the Omaha Board Of education, en-
~ployees. We feel that we are entitled to that 51a% which
will be entrusted to your stewardship, in tn event that
you are elected on November 9Th, as a member Of the
Omaha Board of Education.
Since we have been refused our pro-rata Of en-
ployment for the past 80 years thereby losing in wages the
following sum to our group, So, 702,5O0. 1t would be no
more than fair, for the Board of Education to give our
group 11% of the employment for the next 80 years to
come. This would go a long ways in making our group a
better economical risk to the business world and the COM
munity in which we live.
For your nformatio we have carefully figured out
a tabulated sketch of the actual conditions, in regards,
to the present employment of the Board Of Education.
We comprise 51a% of the population. We pay
5I2% Of the taxes, directly or indirectly; cast 5H% Of
the ballots in the last annual election, therefore our full
pro-rata of employment should be 5a% 0 fthe employ
ment of the Board of Education, which would be " en-
ployees. Our payroll annually should be $156, 75O. Doubl-
ing this amount would make 14 employees, and the pay
roll would be $685. SOC.
Please let us have your early reply on your position
in this matter, for publication in the Omaha Guide Paper
which goes to press, Tuesday, Nov. ], 1882.

Dear Jane Jordan-I am a bride Of two
weeks, married to man love, who
loves me. am ANXIOUS to make our
honeymoon stage, but I'm so afraid il
won't last. Isn't there some way that
can keep things the way they are now
forever and ever? BRIDE.
Dear Bride-Not exactly. You can
be happy with your husband for
ever and ever, but only if you do
not expect to repeat the pattern
of the honeymoon month after
month and year after year. Even
love making grows monotonous if
it never varies. Nor is it necessary
to keep your emotions at fever pitch
to enjoy life.
The honeymoon is unlike any
other period in married life, be-
cause it is the only time when
both partners are absolutely new
to each other BY no possible mir
acle can you remain perpetually
new. Merely by process of living
together, the time is bound to come
when you know each other like
book.
1t is in the ma Don't Kick

to the point where you cease to
Jump a foot when you hear him

Conversely, he will not always be
in the mood to make perpetual love
to YOU. The fact is that just now
you are out of proportion IN his
life. You are over emphasized be-
cause of your newness.
If you want your marriage to
be a bowling success, don't kick
and scream when you drop out OF

Give Your Jake your normal

Cor,o PoS+ Remember that
N0N W there are times
when the most devoted husband
finds it impossible to make love to
his wife. Men have told me that
at intervals it becomes positively
painful to be obliged to say Il love
you," even to the dearest woman
on earth. They require a relief
from the role of sutton and like to
rest on their laurels occasionally.
If you wisely will excuse your
husband from the necessity of as
suming a loverlike attitude when
he is not in the mood for it, you
will find him nine times as ardent
when his emotions arise from their
rest. You would not expect him to
be pleasant when sorely in need
of a physical rest, so why demand
him to be loving when he is equally
in need of emotional quietude?
If you will share his interests
as we'll as his kisses, If you will
follow his pursuits as we'll as his
heart throbs, if you will make your
self interesting to him mentally as
we'll as physically, if you will rec
ognize that he needs a change from
you as we'll as a change from the
Office, you have good chance to
renew your present ecstasy from
