WILSON GRITIGISES WALL STREET MEN President, in Speech at New York, Arraigns Business for ‘“Resisting Changes.” SAYS THEY HAVE NO VISION New York, Nov. 2—President Wil- son in an address here today before the Wilson Business Men's league, criticised = business “for resisting changes,” declared that men in Wall street had no vision, and that men, who treat their employes as partners in their business, were the most pros- perous. § “The amount of genius that ex- erts itself in resisting changes,” said the president, “is a great indictment. Brains have been burned out acting as brakes, “The real trouble is that American business has been under the direction of too small a body of men.” 3 “Are the people living under condi- tions which bring about justice is a question of prime importance,” the president continued. “The roots o business lie deep in the daily lives of the ordinary people. The thing that has disturbed the thoughts of a great many people is that some men be- lieve they are being exploited. See a Volcano. “Now, men who go under the sur- face see things that will have to be dealt with in vigorous fashion—they see a volcano. But I think this sort of thing will be relieved and that the things that are wrong will be made right.” \ “It is high time that we define what /we mean when we speak of progres- sive policies.” % The president spoke of the “intol- erable burdens” | some women and children are carrying. g “Progressiveness,” said the presi- dent, “is a constant adjustment of the conditions of society to the welfare of mankind. . I come to suggest to business men that'it is better that this adjustment go forward rather than that it be dammed up until the dam is broken and society is overturned. “The particular conditions upon which successful, vital business. de- pends,” said the president, “are the conditions which touch the daily life of the common mass of the people of the country. “When you think of the ultimate foundations of ~ business you must know that you found them in the conditions of the national life, and when I think of 'searching.the busi- ness question to its heart it seems to me that there are some very large reckonings which have too often been left out of the account,” Always in Opposition. “I have been told again and again,” said the president, discussing:-Wall street, “that it-was'a mistake for m not to try in countil on tfie!'flg fairs, the men who constitute what we have agreed to call ‘Wall street.’ And I have again and again said this: If they would come in a spirit of co- operation they would be more than welcome. . But they always come: in a spirit of resistence not only, but advising alterations in the plans which would defeat the plans. 1 am speak- ing by the book. “This is not -generalization. They have a subtle génius for proposing seemingly immaterial changes which would eventually lead to the defeat of the main objects of the legislation proposed. Do you wonder -that I do not call them into consultation, and yet I tell you again ‘that they will be welcomed the moment they come to | co-operate and 'they will nat be wel- come until then.” In conclusion the president spoke of political parties,. He déclared that he believed parties are the “only instrumentalities by ‘which we can manage the necessary concert of united action.” He added that he did not believe in partys used for partisan purposes, . 3 “I hope,” said the president, “that every time a party is used for its own sake every thoughtful man in the United States will vote against _it. But if it is trying to‘serve the inter- ests of the whole people, if it really has a heart that sympathizes with the whole’ people, why then it deserves the confidence of the nation so long as it is doing that, so long ds it is not seeking guidance from those who wish to/control, but acting in sympa- thy with those who wish to live.” Senator G. W. Norris Speaks at Broken Bow Broken Bow, Neb., Nov. 2—(Spe- cial Telegram.) — Senator Norris talked here last night to a big house. | People came from all parts of the | county to hear him. He went into the tariff, talked on the harm of cau- cus control in the democratic senate, showed up the conditions in Mexico and ridiculed the idea that the pres-- ent administration had kept us out of war. The address lasted over two hours and was ' enthusiastically re- ceived. 3 Marburg Refused Passport To Return'to Belgian Armgy Washington, Nov. 2.—The applica- tion of Theodore Marburg, jr., son of the former minister to Belgium, for a passport to return- to England to re- join the British ‘aviation corps, has been refused by the bureau of citizen- ship and referred to higher officials of the State department. Marburg, upon inquiry by the bureau, admitted he had fought in a foreign army and planned to return to resume his post. On that ground, in fonformity avith the law of 1906, the bureau refused the passport and referred the case. Sccretary Lansing, while refusing today to discuss the incident, said that an American who' enlists' in a foreign army has forfeited his citi- zenship. Applicants for passports must reaffirm their allegiance to the United States and state the purpose of their trips abroad before a pass- port is granted. & | Marburg lost a leg while flying with | the British army in France, and | planned to return to England as an instructor in the aviation corps. the library bdard; wtih: n’n%mnx by Mayor ..$n,..vh Alss otte-Tem fitu retary State umm ‘groet)| | Prahova valley and in the region of | continued throughout the greater part | BEACH CONFIDENT | | OF HUGHES VICTORY Omaha is Crux of State Fight| and the General Trend is Republican. | FARMERS AGAINST WILSON | Hughes and the whole state repub- lican ticket will carry Nebraska if| Omaha republicans do their duty, ac- cording to Chairman Beach of the| republican state committee, who com- pleted a political canvass Thursday | morning. e “The vote in Lincoln is hard to gauge accurately,” said Mr. Beach, | “but the democrats are having just as hard a time of it to find where the Lincoln voters stand. In other places, the trend is obviously toward the republican candidates. Especially is this true in the rural districts, where the farmer is for Hughes and has as a reason for the faith that's in hmm that Mr, Farmer is bound to be the goat of that Adamson law by paying increased freight rates. Hughes Stock Booms. N “Oh, the demos are going to get an awful jolt when the votes are counted in Nebraska. Within the last two weeks Wilson’s stock has slumped steadily and Hughes and the rest of the republican ticket have profited by a big swing in their favor. About the only place where Wilson is really strong is in the railroad division ! points, where men refuse to see the | double edge on the Adamson bill, But we more than atone for the slight losses in those places by big general ains. . “If Omaha gives its normal repub- lican support, and there is every indi- cation that it will, all democrats will be pessimists and all republicans will | be rosy optimists. In Omaha is the crisis of the political fight.” | Plattsmouth Opens Carnegie Library Plattsmouth, Neb. Nov. 2—(Speciai Telegram.)—The new Carnegie library at this place, built from the donation of $12,500 by Andrew Carnegie to the city of Plattsmouth, was opened for- mally’ yesterday. At 3:30 this afternoon the story hour was presided over by Miss Hazel Dovey, where the children met inthe basement, which comprises the audi- toriym. ’ From 7:30 to 8 this evening the Holly orchestra dispensed music in front of the building and at 8 the fol- lowing program was given: 3 Selections by the Plattsmouth male quar- tet, composed ot Herman Hough, H.

XKilpatrick, well known rail- | road contractor of this state, visited republican headquarters, 1607 Farnam | street, Wednesday evening. “I am not much of a betting man, but I have} $500 here which I would be willing to | giace on Hughes carrying the state,” | remarked. Meyer Klein, prominent local dem- | ocrat, chanced to’ be present, and he w;;) cited as a probable taker of the “You have been asking for Hughes money,” remarked one of thé group to Klein. “Here’s'a charice for you'to place $500.” Mr. Kleffi got out of it by saying he guessed he had placed about all of the money he would risk on Wilson. Some democrats who take their poli- tics as a betting proposition are now placing their money on Hughes it or- der to cut down the losses which-they expect to sustain by reason of their early Wilson bets. Roumanians Continue To Pursue Teutons Bucharest. (Via London), Nov. 2.— Roumanian forces continue to pursue the retiring Austro-German troops to the west of the Jiul valley, in Tran-| sylvania, according to the Roumanian official report issued today. Teuton attacks, the statement adds, were re- pulsed after continued fighting in the Dragosolva. East of the river Alt a battle still is in’ progress. The text of the statement follows: “In the Prohova valley the fightingz of the day. We repulsed the enemy | as the result of counter attacks. “In the region of Dragoslavele we | repulsed an enemy attack, East of | Alt fighting still is proceeding. | “West of the Jiul pursuit of the enemy continues. We captured many limbers ‘and ‘a great quantity of war material.” Omaha Retail Grocers Join National Society | The National Association of Retail Grocers has taken the Omaha Retail Grocers' association within its fold, or rather the Omaha association has finally decided to go in. This gives the national body an increaséd mem- bership of some 3 J. J. Ryan of St. Paul, national secretary, was in_Omaha and spoke to the grocers hete. He pointed out the ‘advantage of being affiliated with the national body, as this enables the grocers to work as a unit in eliminat- ing unfair competition and seeking national legislation. Mr. Ryan de- clared the national body opposed to the premium system. 4 A Good Suggestion. Try Chamberlain’s Tablets when bilious or constipated.

Catitis, 1208 South Four- teenth st{cct, and were emptying them when théy were taken by the police. Each was fined $10 and costs. “It would have been cheaper for you fel- lows to ‘have bought a barrel,” re- marked the prosecutor to the pair, Saves Ma,nv | Gou;smg Men Meet . | Hughes Men Row of Hard Luck The Omaha Coursing club is fly- ing signals of distress. The first bit of hard luck the coursing men had oc- curred at Talmadge last week, when ninety of their jackrabbits were kill- ed by a big storm. The jacks cost $2.60 each, which makes . the, loss quite considerable. ’ Now comes fli¢ second bit of hard lusk, The Coursing club originally rented the Douglas county fair grounds from the fair society, agree- ing to pay a flat rate of $50.. But the Water board, which™ owns the grounds, and R. B. Howell aren't sat- isfied with $50. They demand 25 per cent of the gate receipts and intend to. golleet it. R . ~ 0dds On Vietory Even money that Sutton beats Ne- ville for governor mdrks the betting at a local commission house. Bettors posted dollar for dollar that Hughes will carry California, Indiana, Illinois and New York. Democrats have been claiming that Indiana and Illinois had a subtle trend for' Wilson and they boast that New York is doubtful. Hughes ruled a 10 to 7% favorite in Wall street, according to advices received by the Omaha firm. This shows a gain for Hughes, as some days ago the odds were only 10 to 9. One bet of $300 to 3250 was made that Nebraska goes dry. Chicago Banker is Shot by Employe Chicago, Nov. 2—Steven Zager, 23 years old, member of the private banking firm of John Zagar & Co,, was shot and probably fatally wounded today- by Frank Cviich, a clerk. Civiich, who was arrrested, told the police that he shot Zagar because the latter accused him of stealing.

It was a beautiful evening, and then there were little political meetings everywhere, and Hallowe'en ‘parties, and card parties and apple bees. Those are the reasons why the gang was not all there. Still there were perhaps 150 present. | Some Real Singing. “Mary Ate Some Oysters, and Mary Ate Some Ham,” sang Brower Mc- Cague in his_best tenor, or soprano, whichever it is; “Brighten the Corner Where You Are,” chimed in Harr Weller; “They Say That Them Dutch | They Ain’t Got No Style,” came the voice of Guy Liggitt; and so the songs echoed about the hall. | Then when the chairman had pulled (off a few little stunts, h: disbanded | the fellows and sent them into the | south dining room, where the tables | were all set for cards. Immediately the men grouped themselves into fours about the tables, and instead of the old competition of teams for the most members, the competition became warm for “high, low, jack and game.” South and West Foot Ball Teams 0_0313 to Front New York, Nov. 2—+As a result of the heavy scoring in a number of foqe ball' games last Saturday, the| leadership in the struggle for indi vidual and team scoring hpnors shows | some remarkable changes..
