Dear Mr.. Adams:

4 wrote you some time ago in re-
CARDS to consideration relative to the
appointment Of a Colored employee
in your department. For some reason
| have failed to hear from you, hest
tating any number of months before
writing you again.
| am writing you from the stand
point of justice, speaking in behalf of
11,847 representatives who have been
supporters of your office, and have
to pay taxes the same as any other
group. "The greatest quality in this
nation is justice. The greatest quality
in man is loyalty, and where there
is loyalty, there is safety; where
there is safety, there is progress.
Loyalty to your country, your friends
your belief, your ancestry, your prom
Use and your purpose.
In your department there are no
Coloerd representatives, and we shall
seek with endless efforts to place one
there. 1t is very easy to max promis-
s, especially during the time Of. cam
paigning, but we desire the fulfill
ment Of these promises. l am hoping
we shall receive your cooperation and
support in consideration of employ
ment for your Colored supporters.
1T is an evil thing to betray the
public trust, and it is equally an evil
thing to pour wholesale condemnation
on the heads of every public man, but
| believe the enduring popularity of
a public man comes from the feeling
that his supporters can rely and de-
pend upon him in the time of need
/ am sure at this time you will re-
consider and give me a reply, know
ing that the time of campaigning for
office is again approaching.
1 am hoping you will not misinter-
pref my meaning, as / have only ex-
pressed a loyal statement to you, hop
ing you will do likewise in behalf
of this group who have supported you
in the past.
Thanking you very much for any
future consideration you may give. l
am,
Respectfully yours.

The Ticket of six men is offered
to the people of Omaha as the best

worthy group of men. that are seek

next Tuesday.
"Much thought has been given to
the selection of candidates whom

Sam E. Klaver, president of the
Douglas County Voters League,
said. eve are confident no better
list could have been chosen.
"These men are capable and de-
pendable. They possess all the quail
ifications necessary to give Omaha
clean, liberal and free city admin
stration.
"Their election will give Omaha
six men in the city hall who will be
able to cope with all the problems
that will come before them in the
next three years.
"In Roy N. Towl, we have a cour-
ageous commissioner who, in the
face Of most d~iscouraging conditions,
has made good.
John Hopkins has made a success
of managing the hardest department
in the city hall. He has made the
police department an efficient de-
partment and has kept crime to a
minimum.
Harry Trustin has proven his
ability and integrity in many ways
during the years he has lived in
Omaha.

member of the school alone should
be sufficient to elect him city COM

Richard w. Jepsen, an Omaha
grocer for many years, will bring
ripe business experience to the city
hall.
"Dan B. Butler has had experience
and possesses unusual qualifications.
He made good before. He will do so
again"
President Klaver declared that
with the six men named in the city
hall the humblest citizen would find
himself welcome in that building.
Neither race, nor creed, color or
nationality will matter when a citi-
zen of Orhaha appeals to these men
collectively or individually" Klaver
said "They are broadminded, con-
siderate and always willing to listen.
They will be the friends of the peo-
pie, the small hame owner, the aver

Britain Breaks With Europe

American initiative and does she expect
to make herself j3intly and severally
liable? have just passed three weeks
in London, and have talked with men
whose business is in the city The
topography of their opinion can be out
lined as follows: The Bank of England
and the city hoped for an earnest mon
etary policy OF stabilization. have
not met one person in the group who
approves the American policy and
wishes England to follow the same path.
The pound, on account Of its prestige,
was able to Withstand the depreciation,
and found the benefits Of real stability
on lower level; British credit has
been restored: these are the advan-
tages that high finance and great COM
merce feared to lose.
We note. in contrast. that these in
flationist theories hold a marked attrac-
ton for professors. intellectuals and
exporters: and the same can be said for
certain persons in the treasury-that
IS. the government as distinct from the
Bank Of England-who have let them
selves be seduced by certain charms of
imitation; Perhaps we should not exag-
gerate; there Is difference between
what is said and what is done. The
speeches OF Mr.. Chamberlain, the chan
cellor of the exchequer. seem often to
approve policy of imitation, an arti-
fetal rise in prices; however, he is not
willing to take any definite steps in
this direction; up to the present he has
refused to undertake the program of
, large public works which Mr.. Keynes
recommends.
I believe we can make the same OBJ
servations in regard to the exporting
industries; they no doubt would expect
to benefit by money in the process OF
being deprecated. for it would tighten
the cost Of the wage scale and give a
direct premium to expectation. Never
theless, after having passed several days
at Manchester. I am bound to say that
have not met one responsible per-
son who would recommend joining
President Roosevelt in his demagogic
plan to lower the value Of various cur
rencies.
England Has Two Reasons.
How. then. can you explain the fact
that the British government has OBJ
stinately refused to associate itself with
the continental powers. which recon-
mended, in short, a policy of prudence
which, as a matter of fact. Is being
practiced by England herself?
