* STREET SALESHEN " EEN CONPEDTTORS One Admits He Does Not Take All His Earnings Home to Mother—Other Gives All WANT REGULAR PATRONS By A. R. GROH. These bootbalcks whose voices punctuate the atmosphere of our streets are an interesting tribe. I 'was occupying a ‘“place in the sun” in front of the Merchant’s hotel the othe: day, when a dark-complex- ioned boy of about 13 appeared with the query, “Shine, mister?” I maintained a dignified silence. I"at this young hustler was not discour- aged. ) “You need one,” he declared crit- ically. Gy He further announced that his price was only a nickel, He also said something about the excellence of his < work, This boy had never taken a gourse ir a school of salesmanship, yet he was a perfect natural salesman. IHe was irresistible. From Family Rag Bag. So I closed the cont with him and he set to work. His box was a curious piece of boyish clrpentr{, and the shining clothes were evidently garnered from the family fag bag, being pieces of ‘old dresses. “What do you do with all money?” I asked him., “Give it to me mudder,” and volunteered the further informa. tion that his earnings the previous Saturday totalled 45 cents. Another hoy now appeared and, after observing the workmanship of my shiner for a moment, announced: T ¢'d give youse a better shine *n that, mister.” | My workman stopped: work at this and the two r‘ argument, 3 boy offering ‘to bet “a milyun %” that he czulq do better, : t guy spends 'is money,” my workman, 'Ixony. declared to me. ;!‘;Th:d‘ other 1%‘ whose edmmt:, i 1 ! rned, was ie, grinned and ad- mitted it. il “Aw, 1 d & nickel or a dime,” said.

For the last two or three days patrons of the gen-l eral delivery windows who called for | their, mail were handed pink cards| which notified them that they cotild not receive mail through general de- livery unless they have no permanent | address to which their mail can be sent. “It is our plan to reduce the| amount of mail handled through gen-| eral delivery to the smallest possible | amount,” said the postmaster: “If we can only induce general delivery pa- trons to have their mail delivered to some permanent address we can re- duce the number of employes in this department to almost half the present number,” | The general delivery window will | not be done away with, but will be maintained only for itinerants and persons who have not permanent ad- dresses. Tabloids of Politics * Little Items About the Progress of the Campaign. Judge A. L. Sutton, returning from a trip through sections of the state, PN i brought optimistic reports of general sentiment growing in favor of Charles E. Hughes. “One cannot deny the fact that Hughes sentiment is gaining steadily and with two weeks yet to go the situation is looming up in a roseate manner for the republicans,” said the judge. . He explained that voters are gain- ing a better understanding of the fal- lacies of the democratic policies, sucly as the Adamson wage-ear Underwood tariff, Mexico issues. The strong person Hughes and his earnest, positive con- victions on affairs of the nat n, ac- cording to Mr, Sutton, are winning Nebraskans to the republican nom- inee. The significance of the answer of G. L. E. Klingbeil to the invitation to support Wilson is in the promi- nent part he had in the affairs of the rogressive party in Nebraska. Mr, lingbeil has publicly announced his unqualified allegiance to Charles E. Hughes. He is president of the Ger- man-American Life Insurance com- pany, with head offices in Omaha, and was delegate from this state to the progressive nationdl convention four years ago at Chicago, as well as treasurer of the.: progressive county committee. Two years ago he was wominated for lieutenant governor ou the progressive ticket. He is just as earnes this time in, supporting Mr. Hughes as he was active in the pro- essive patty. He takes the position that the principles for which the pro- pressives ‘stood can best be worked out through the election of Charles E. Hughes, whom he regards as one 'm| ur the best friends *the common people rof this country have ever had. Like nearly all progressives of the state, Mr. Klingbeil is working hard for the election of Mr. Hughes whom he regards as the man of the hour in this country. In a neat illustrated booklet just is- sued, Chairman Frank 'S. Howell of the Douglas coupty republican central committee subscribes his name to the following foreword: “You will find these candidates clean, experienced, able men, actuated by unselfish, sincere motives, desirous of advancing the best interests of their county and state. “Remember 'this: No. matter how you may vote on the constitutional amendments, you can also vote for all of these candidates. You will vote for them if you want clean, efficient government in Douglas county. “Remember this also: To maintain republican principles you must elect republicans to office, “With the belief that these candi- dates are worthy of every elector's vote, and soliciting your closest ex- amination of their records, we submit this booklet and the information con- tained in it, to -your thoughtful con- sideration. May we have 1t?” F. ’i Tucker of Florence took a poll of the federal jury, with this result: Hughes, 13; Wilson, 7; dry, 18; wet, 2.

WELFARE BOARD VS. MEAN EMPLOYERS Cheating Laborers of Hire May Prove Costly Pastime if Law is Passed. CASE IN POLICE COURT The practice of employers to hire help, and at the completion of their work cheat them of their wage has become so common that at the next session of the legislature the Wel- fare board will attempt to have a law passed to cover this particular sort of fraud, The case of Mrs. F.

McNaugh- ton, 1901 Dodge street, proprietor of a boarding house, was brought Mon- day before the lice magistrate by State Labor Commissloner | L, Franklin, 3 Five persons who had been in her employ in various capacities, and were unable to get their pay, appeared in police court against. her. Alberta Woodward had $5 coming, Eloise Knox, $9; J. T. Elkin, $2.75; John Collins, $5, and Esther Green, $10. The charge against Mrs. McNaughton was “attempting to secure credit for labor, under false pretenses.” She was convicted by the judge. Cases!

HUSKING IS\NOW GOING ON That the snow last week, which made the soil conditions more favor- able, improved the winter wheat cyop, is the statement in the weekly crop report issued by the Burlington rail- | road. The Nebraska wheat is in fair condition as a result of the snow, but would be more improved by more moisture before going into winter. . The Byrlington’s report of the corn yield was somewhat increased follow- ing husking done last week. The yield on the Omaha division of the Bur- lington is now estimated at thirty- seven bushels an acre, as against thirty bushels reported a week ago. The estimate of the,yield on the Lin- coln division has 'been increased by four bushels an acre and un the Wy- more division by two bushels an acre. | PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS City Commissioner Butler is confined (0 his home with a severe cold.

T 15 ) T T ¢ PROHIBITION Does Increase the Tax Burden Absolute proof is at hand that prohibition has enormously increased the tax burden for the Kansas farmer and property owner. So great is the burden of taxation in prohibition Kansas that half the counties in that state find themselves in serious financial difficulties, HERE IS THE PROOF: (From the Topcka ““State Journal” of Dec. 7, 1915) “MUST RAISE LIMIT” “One-Half of Kansas Counties in Financial Mire” Economy or Legislative Relief “Bond Issues, Only Hope”’ 4 “Fifty per cent of the counties of Kansas will be forced to adopt sweeping economy measures or issue bonds to cover deficits in their general revenue funds, unless the next legislature raises the limit of the general revenue tax levy, according to men in touch with the financial condition of counties over the state.” The reason for the heavy tax burden under prohibition is not far to seek. Under prohibition, it becomes necessary to prosecute in court every year thousands of persons having alcoholic beverages in their possession. Each such cage the county about $50, accordjng to the Topeka, Kan., ¢ costs ‘State Journal” of August 29, 1916. This paper also states’in the same issue that in Topeka alone, there are 106 such cases docketed for the September term of court. dition in one Kansas county, at one term of court alone: Kansas spent $701,944.40 in the last two years to maintain the inmates of her state prisons, while Nebraska spent less than half that sum. This is the con- WHO" CARRIES THE TAX BURDEN? It is interesting to observe how the prohibition politician always man- ages to unload the increased burden of taxation on the farmer and on thé property owner. In Kansas the state tax levy for 1916 is équal to 6.5 mills on a one-fifth valuation, and in Nebraska it is only 6.1 mills on a one-fifth valu- ation. In order to deceive the people and keep the state tax levy from mounting sky-high, the prohibition politicians in Kansas' simply raised the assessed valuation o[ farm lands many millions of dollars this year. HERE IS THE PROOF: (From the Topeka “State Journal” of Oct. 5, 1916) “Twice has he (Governor Capper, the prohibi- tionist) handed -the FARMERS a package, by raising the valuations of their farm land, in order to raise more taxes, yet he permitted the railroads and corporations to go at the same old rate.” GOVERNOR CAPPER OF KANSAS HAS PUBLICLY ADMITTED THAT THE VALUATION OF KANSAS PROPERTY G WAS BOOSTED $79,000,000 IN 1915 FOR PURPOSES OF TAXATION. THIS IS TYPICAL OF THE PROHIBITION POLITICIAN EVERY- WHERE. HE RIDES INTO OFFICE ON THAT ISSUE, AND THEN PROMPTLY PUTS THE BURDEN OF INCREASED TAXATION BROUGHT ABOUT BY PROHIBITION, ON THE ! FARMER AND ON THE PROPERTY OWNER. The squares shown below will appear at the TOP of the ballot. An X marked in square 301 is a vote AGAINST PROHIBITION.
