WATER BONDS WVWhy They Should TO THE PEOPLE OF OMAHA: Many questions are being asked in regard to the prop- osition to vote $6,500,000 of water bonds of the city. We deem it proper that the public should know the rea- NUMBER 6— NUMBER 7— sons why we urge the people of Omaha to vote for the water bonds. NUMBER 1— We will not compromise unless upon a substartial re- We do not intend to, nor will we pay the amount of the award [$6,263,000], unless compelled to do so by the decree of the supreme court, where the matter is now pending. Carry city cannot avoid the payment of such judgment by refus- ing to vote bonds. The judgment would be enforced by a levy of taxes on the property of the citizens, are voted the judgment can be paid by the proceeds of the bonds, and the interest and expense of running the water If the bonds works will be paid out of the revenues derived from the sale of water, without additional taxes on the property of duction of the amount as found by the award. We will try to compromise the matter immediately if the bonds are voted. We believe municipal ownership to be the best solution of the situatioh; that it will result in better water service, more prompt extension of water mains, and in reduction of water rates without increasing taxes. There can be no muni. cipal ownership without voting bonds. NUMBER 2— NUMBER 8— ple. We are not in position to make any compromise until the issue of bonds shall be authorized by vote of the peo- In previous attempts to compromise, we have been met with the statement that we were in no shape to carry out our proposition until bonds were voted. We believe the plant will sustain itself—paying in- terest on bonds, cost of operation, and create a sinking fund to pay off the bonds, without additional taxes. ! words, we believe we will be buying a revenue producing property which will carry itself. NUMBER 3— We cannot and will not use the $3,000,000 of bonds heretofore voted. NUMBER 4— It is important that the bonds be voted now that the water board may be in position to make immediate com- promise of the litigation, if this is possible, NUMBER 5— If immediate compromise cannot be made, it is equally important that the bonds be voted, that the water board be in position to pay the amount found due by the United States supreme court. hIEN‘S UNCHANGING STYLES ness, Tyranny of Sameness.

If it is a good pro- position for a syndicate to take hold of, it is a better thing to handle for its own people. the city. NUMBER 13— It must be remembered that the valuation, $6,263,000, includes the whole plant of the water company in the city of Omaha, South Omaha, Florence and Dundee, and not merely the portion pertaining to the city of Omaha. The bonds for $3,000,000 heretofore voted concerned alone the portion of the plant in the city of Omaha and the pumping station at Florence. NUMBER 14— The voting of these bonds will defeat the effort of the Omaha Water Company and the Omaha syndicate to se- cure a franchise, and will secure municipal ownership for the people at the earliest date possible. These are a few of the reasons why we unanimously urge the voting of these bonds. ’ If the bonds are voted, they will not be issued, nor will they bear interest, until the water works are acquired by the city. NUMBER 11— We have given the matter our best consideration, and believe good business judgment dictates the approval of the bonds. No more of gaid bonds will in any case be issued than are actually necessary for the acquisition of the plant. NUMBER 12— Should the decision of the supreme court be against the city, a decree will be entered which must be paid. The clothes of late until our coats will almost “stand alone,” they contaln so much ex- traneous matter, and we have succeeded in producing for_ourselves a perfectly ar- tificlal “shape” That fs quite unlike any- thing, in either heaven or earth. We now have, many of us, great broad shoulders, curlous excresences at the tops of our sleeves that move when we swing our arms and look like mothing so much as pin-cushions—strange formless coats that bear little or no relatlon whatever to the human figure and which through all too frequent cartoons and also through the nu- merous “misfits” of illy instructed tailors, have become indeed the laughing stock of men who know, although they are perhaps the admiration of the seeker after novelty The clothes worn by our men a year or 80 ago—at least what may be termed the general run of clothes—were certainly a far cry from the gracefully hanging gar- ments 3f by-gone centuries or from those worn even now by many Orlentals. Are we then ashamed of our bodles, we Amer- fcans, that we must disgulse them so? A Decided Change. Happlly, however, a decided change marks the fashion of the moment In men's clothes. They are simplicity itself and quite devold of padding or “makeup” of any kind. The shoulders of the overcoats, for instance, are cut slightly narrower than the natural shoulder and are made quite soft so that the body of the coat hangs gracefully In comfortable folds from the shoulder. These same soft shoulders maik the sack and other coats of the moment, which are nicely shaped to the body. In fact, some of the very newest coats are belng made without the slightest suspicion of a lining, not even in the sleeves, and this is true of overcoats, as a well cut coat in the fashion of the moment needs no lining or “stuffing” of any kin to give it shape. It takes its shape from the man who wears it, the soft warm wool of the cloth being considered quite suffi- clent to keep out the cold. Our men seem to be waking up to the fact at last that we want to look like men—not Iike manni- Kins or rag doll caricatures of life. It is rot at all lkely that we, In our “alloted span” will ever escape entirely from the so-called “‘correct dress’” of western civili- zation, but we fortunately are coming to a gradual apprectation of the fact that the human form Is a sufficlently graceful or- ganism after all and that nature's lines | are better than artificfal ones, and then, | again, we seem to be on the verge of an cra of freedom and grace In men's dress that will undoubtedly be welcomed most heartily by all men who think. In very truth we have a good deal to learn from our orlental brothers, after all Men's Fashion Notes. New madras shirts with narrow hairline | stripes have fold lock front collars, de- tachable, but made of the same material | A new white collar is mude of a basket | | weave Oxford. | A gorgeous pleated skirt for mnrnln(! vear is made of white madras and has parsies in outline and of almost natural size on the pleats and also a row of these purple flowers on each cuff about an inch from the outer edge. Outing shirts with old-fashloned soft { pointed fold collars are being shown with the points of the collar buttoned to the | shirt with small mother of pearl buttons. | The latter are atlached to the garment | tmmediately under the points of the collar and they button thicugh it-quite a decora- tive scheme, the exact usetulness of whicn is not entirely apparent. TLis is the very latest thing in English collars and it s claimed for it that it can be attached In & fraction of a second and that the locking is as perfect as with the ordinary double collar. It should appeal . strongly to the man who has any trouble with his collar in the morring, and, with the double collar still almost universally worn, anything which has a tendency to improve this popular shape will be warmly welcomed. The curious summer coat worn last win- ter in the production of “Fluffy Ruffles” by young Grossmith, which was cut like an English walking coat in front but like | a sack coat in the back, has made its| appearance in one of the great men’s out- | fitting shops in Broadway, so perhaps we will see our youngsters wearing this hybrid garment this spring after all. Another new coat seen in a shop window in Broad- way has a vent in each side instead of the back. It is immediately behind the | crescent slash pocket. The newest scarfs for wear with outing shirts or, in fact, upon any occasion In which a walstcoat is discarded, are folded | four-in-hands, having widely flowing ends. They are made of Rumchunda and come in various dark colors, such as green, navy blue, garnet, and the like. The apron is of solid color, but at the point, where the scarf knots, the silk has been a and dyed” so that there is a brilliant rainbow effect in many colors.

It is to be noted, by the way that there is a decided revival of bat- wing ties for morning wear this spring and another feature of the ties of the moment apart from their narrowness (and they are \mm\un"\' narrow just now), is the fact that nearly all the newer scarfs have horizontal stripes.

An Appeal to the Voters of Omaha We, the undersigned tax payers of the city, being thoroughly familiar with the situation and having the best interests of the City at heart, would advise all voters to vote against the $6,500,000 Water Bonds, as we do not think they should be voted before the case is finally adjudicated in the Supreme Court of the United States. The voting of the Bonds now would look like a surrender and might have a serious influence against the City’s case. Rome Miller, Rome Hotel. Ralph Kitchen, Paxton Hotel. rolf Hanson, Hanson Cafe. W.
