WwWouLD BE — NICE PLACE. Omaha After a Czie Had Renovated and Remodeled :t. “If 1 Were Czar of Omaha" ubiquitous subject discussed last at The Club by Lawyer Ed H. Scott. “I'he attendanco of The Club, the members of which assembled at the Lininger Art gal- lery, was not large, but the speaker handled bject 1n such A manner as to exeite con- siderable interost and utiention and subse- quent debate, In his wtroductory remarks Mr. Scott said if he were czar of Omaha ho would annex Couneil Blufls to the city, as no cz dom was comple'e witout a plice for ban- ishment. He would abolish —the overhead clectric wires, as that problem had peen solved twenty years ago by Kuropean cities. He would ~have school houses erccted in the center of blocks, in order that the school children would have a breathiug swot and a place to romp and play upon. He would have all the streets like Farnai, as te adamired the original plat of the city. He would have Omaha put asido fts childish ways, because the town was tweuty- one years of age and should got down to olid thoughts and ways. He would omething else besides how statisties to show to tho world. He would encourago art and literature to go with theso sta- tisties. Ho wonid awaken the busi- ness men, for they were asleop, and letting a great stream of wealth from the large territory west of the city go through tho city to Chicago. He would have a spiric of unanimity among them. Ho would bo satisfied with localing @ public library at some other point if the desired spot could not be obtamed, He would bave the street ilways extended. Ho would have the poor derive'some benefits from public corporations and monobolies, He would have something bottor than tho peuitentiary and reform school for criminals and paupers. He would to a great degreo rid tho city of hotbeds of crime and its pesti- leuce of disease. Ho would abolish the tax on the man with small means, because it was a relic of bar- barism, an_ absurdity, unjust. He would re- lieve the poor of taxation by adding a trifling tax to tho rick. He would have the city owning the wator works, gas and electric lights, stroet_railways and all public cor- porations, and this would not bo socialism. He would have a severe punishment for the brute of a teamster who overloaded his poor horses and inhumanly beat them be- cause the unimals were incapable of carrying their burden. Ho would do away with tho overhead check rein, and he would do innu- merablo othor things for the beaetit and wel- fare of the pouple. h of theso *what_he would dos’ was sued at length by Mr. Scott as he put thetn ia u forcivle and plausivle sense. Some of the questions ho admitted wore dificult to doal with, but he showed the neadod reforms in a clear'and conciso mauner. At the conclusion of his remarks different members of the _club, including Dean Gard- verand G. W. Liniuger and others, com- mented approvingly unon Mr. Scott’s idea of what he would do if he were the czar of Omaha, after which the club adjourned until its fortnightly mectlng, e [AVAY I INTERVIEWED, How the Next Republ Nomination for Prosident Will Be M do.

He paid a high compliment to Towa as a observing and temperance state. Speaking of the work of the union, he said it was to restore the observance of tho Sabbath. He said it was oniy one-sevonth of the time, and thanke God that tho majority of the people 1 the country still observe jt. *“True it has its enemies,” tio said. “They commenced by breaking the Tenth command- ment, by coveting the time not theirs, but he nations that are most backward nose who disregard the Sabbath; those are most advanced are those who ob- ixth, tdward 'ruc, not all people in the Sabbath ob- serving countries keep it in its strictuess, but just in proportion as'the number of a people observe the Sabbath, just 1a the proportion fiod prospers that people. One of ‘the objects for which tno union will labor is for ths closing of the World’s fair. Whilo we aro exhibiling our evidences of growth or prosperity we can well afford to exhivit evidence of our morality, which can be done in no better way than by showing to the people of o.icr countries the real American Sabbath.” Dr. Herrick Johnson of Chicago spoke at length on the duty of the goverument to in- sist that this nation talte no part in the dese- cration of the American Sabbath, Ho argued the question at length, answering the argu- ments of those who favor oponing the fair. Members of the lowa Columbian commission wero preseut and wore calied on for an expression on Sunday opening.
