FOR THE CITY BEAUTIFUL Judge Blabangh Makes a Strong Appeal to Omaha's People. WHAT MAY BE DONE BY LITTLE EFFORT Doncerted Action All that is Needed to Achleve the Wond that Have Been Accomplished in Other Cith At & recent meeting of the Omaha Real Bstate exchange Judge W. W. Slabaugh gave an address ca the “City Besutiful,” the text of which follows: The home reflects the sentiment of the family; the city that of an aggregation of famllies; the state and nation that of the people comprising them. Our laws will never be in advance of our peop who, through our representatives, make them. Our homes will never be more beautiful and more inviting than those who dwell In them desire them to be. Our city, In appearance, will wear the garb reflecting the enterprise, ambition and taste of our people. Officlals and organizations may cherish plans and work hard to certain ends, looking to the prog- Tess and beauty of a city, but it will all come to naught if there is mot & public sentiment behind them, upholding their Bands and encouraging them fin fheir efforts. This laud: organization can do but little unaided by those whom th from unselfish™ motives, are endeavoring to help, and it can do much If properly sided and emncouraged. No great move- ment for good ever finally succeeded with- out co-operstion, without the impetus that comes from public sentiment. It is like the lever of Archimedes. Under proper eireumstances it can move the world If resting on the fulerum of & worthy ob- Ject or cause. Or, like a tidal wave, can sweep all beford it. And no city will ever attaln to the high standard to which 1t should aspire unless jt blends the idea ©f the beautiful with business and good morals. Place to Live In, As the home is the place for the family, ot only to work in, but to live in, so is the city not only to work in, but to live 8.

Sd with what care should we make pleasant and habitable the city, our home on a large scale, in which we shall live and die. And a person who expects to lve and die in the city will be its best friend. Some say our city Is too young for us as yet to and the outs No greater mistake was ever Never plead youth as an excuse for slovenliness, for such plea leaves conditions as they are and provents improvement. And, again, such excuse argues us into greater in- difference and careless until our sen- sitiveness for municipal attractiveness be- comes paralyzed and blunted, and our am- bitions dwarfed untll love for the beau- titul is greatly diminished if not wholly gone. That city that early in its career looks to its appearance and teaches its people early in that direction inculcates in them a love for the beautiful In all its makeup, in its lawns, its yards, its homes, its buildings, its vacant lots, its streets, its boulevards, its parks, and generally in and ut the city iu everything. And such desire finds realization in beautiful or improved surroundings, and such real- izatlon is a silent but impressive teacher to the children that observe and expe- rience such advantages in thelr every- day life. And through those children you are bullding your future city and training its people. Avolds Labor and Bxp And, again, much labor and expense is avolded by looking to and preparing for the city's embellisbments early in its lfe. And, agaln, some slight improvement made early by its inviting and pleasant appear- ance to strangers has more to do toward bullding up & city and encouraging and maintaining & substantial growth good app: because of the people thus naturally attracted, than any other agency. Any city which has reasonable prospects should bulld for the future. How much would be saved in doing and undoing. It 1s ltke remodeling an old house. It never sults us when done to remodel a city. The plea of youth can no longer be used in behalf of Omaha. Its future to- day 1s 1s bright as that of any city in this country. Its central location, fts place on & direct line from east to west, through it in this age of shortest routes and quickest time, the bulk of trade and and the west will pass. Any close student of our country and its future trade observes that fact. God In making the valleys and rals'ng the mountains so decreed. The opening up of the Orlent to us, the great future market place of the world, is moving the east to the west in its competitive strug- gle for international trade. Bvery now and then we the close observer of & business condition and probabilities pick- ing up in the east and moving west. And the last great camping and stopping place tll the coast is reached is the valley | of the Missourl, provided by nature for | the sustenance of a happy and prosperou: | people, where, without the murmuring: | of the people and the intercession of & | Moses, the fertile soll yields manna In | abundance and the broad prairies supply | us with fiesh. And in this fortile valley, on the bagks of & mever-falling river, our future motive, and beating power, sits Omaha, the queenly Gate City, wield- ing & scepter which commands loyalty of all her subjects to all her best Interests. How appropriate the name, “Gate City.' How prophetic the vision of those who med it. Through its gates will come and go most of the commerce and peopl of the world. And may its slways be open and at peace within and witbout. Duty of Omaha People. And as this clty no lomger pleads youth, but stands in the front renxs with the progressive clties of our land, and as it is the Gate City, through which com- merce and the multitudes shall pass in the future, what is our duty to our city and to ourselves and those who shall in- herit what we shall leave them? Shall we have not only a progressive city, but shall we have also an attractive, health- ful, ennobling and character-bullding city? The moral effect of a neat and beautiful city and home is inestimable. I have never in all my experience as public prosecutor, as a judge or as & citizen, known a per- a criminal at heart who sense of the truly beautiful in art or nature, They may err and do wrong, but like the pole star, it guldes them back to a place of honor and up- rightness. The beautiful and good are handmaidens, inviting map’s tenderest na- ture to better and heifer living. The spirit which promp's a love for beautiful and attractive surroundings in home and city causes kind and charitable thoughts, which lead to kind deeds and fosters brotherly love and the observance of the Golden Rule in our dafly lfe. It ap- peals ever to the humanitarisn. For it Is a straw indicating that commercialism fs not the only and rullng element in home, city and national life. It means that life is not simply & means to ag end and that end wealth, and which, if ever reached, is frequently too late, but that the object of life 1s to live honorably and uprightly and to ald others and to enjoy our life while the days are passing. In this ma- terial and matter-of-fact age we learn that the end is the supreme object. Lite is much like & horse racey with the wire thing. Get it quick. 1s taught how to live happlly and health- fully while getting. Teachers and preach- ers to a great extent look and point to the end, the goal, eternity, but say little about making the best of what God has given us both in ourselves and our sur- roundings. M history is more than the words, birth, life and death. You may work in & garret or bolt your food to save time, but in so doing you insult your Maker and you will in due season reap your res ward. It is not what we can do, but what we can do and achieve the greatest good. We should not be Iike the astronomer who fell In the well while gazing at the stars. The time will come and must come when Awmericans will live slower and thus be healtbler and happler. England and Amer- ica pride tLemselves on leading the world generally. But we are humillated when we learn that none of the Nobel prizes of $250,000 offered to those contributing to mankind most in art, literature and works of peace were received by us, nor did England win them. Germany and France won both. And observe the beauty of design and architecture in Ber- lin and Paris. Its love is implanted in the natures of their people. Greece will be remembered and felt when the curtain falls on the last scene of human endeavor and _activity because of its writers, its courts, its philoso its artists, its art, its Olympic and Its eloquence, when Svarta will long have been forgotten. The influence of environment om char- acter s marked. The desire to improve our homes and surroundings is apparently contaglous. Observe the residences in the vicinity of Hanscom park, as an fllustra- tion, to seo the contagion of beautiful lawns, That, you observe, suggests ome method of creating s sentiment for givic improvement. Follow the boulavard of our city and watch the spread of attractive- ness in the home surroundings along their border, as if the magic wand of fm- provement in passing by had touched them into comeliness. Thus you see the same suggestions made around and about other 's Duty to Mankind. parks and other carefully kept places. And I belleve that @ careful considera- tion of all questions involved shows to us that too much saving in the care of publie grounds is unwise, It hints an attempt and fallure. The influence is not ele- vating and Instructive. Better leave it wild than poorly cared for. Effect of Exampl A neighbor beautifies his home; it may be a poor man's home, but watch the neighborhood catch the inspiration. BSee what one can do. Consider what many or all could do. And it is*not necessary that a man be wealthy that he may make his home attractive and pleating to the eye. Far from it. Some of the prettiest spots In this city are poor men's houses t in neatly kept yards and lawn We can reeall such pla prising at how little labor and ex such places are maintalned. Adjust a will to habit, and it will be dome. It is a fact that some experts on landscape gar- dening and outdoor home attractiveness criticiee some of the yards of some of our wealthy citizens on the ground that they are not natural emough, but are made up and stiff in appesrance and wanting the freedom of beauty in nature that they should possess. Some will say: “If T do improve my premises, its simply added attractiveness will increase its taxation. That very objection has been raised by those living about publicly improved places in this eity, and who but for this objection would add to the value of the city generally and to the happiness of its people. It is a fact that by simply beautify & home increased taxation has placed a premium on carelessness 4 want of civic pride. That should not be the rule, else rack and ruln will follow to avold taxstion, untll taxes will no longer be needed. oLt me suggest A remedy. Tax him who simply improves the outward appearance of his home and property mo more, for that simple reason than his neighbor, who adds nothing to the value of his or his neighbor's property, nor increases their happiness, but de- tracts therefrom by growing weed seed and teaching our children carelessness in conduct and in work. We ba all ob- served how attractive to travelers and cltizens the Burlington railway bas made the rough bank nmear its depot in this city. How often with pride we epeak of it. Passing over our city, how we commend with heartfelt appreciation the house- holder who has transformed an unattrac- tive one. You ask him what it copt him, and his answer will be: ‘Nothing but bappiness and health.” It Really Pays. I recall the incident of the Urbanite who read in the paper, “Send §1 and I will send you a remedy to cure nervous- The dollar was sent “Go into your gar- first and threatened dire vengeance, but later he took the prescription and wi completely cured of s serious allment that had troubled him. There are many argu- you see, in favor of improvment in home and city. We can call to mind in the very rt of the city ugly-looking banks which in the long run may have cost this city much in retarding its growth by suggesting to the homeseeker or investor & lack of enterprise or culture or taste on the part of our citizens. A misrepresentation in fact, but results are the same. And and expense could su 0ld walls, veterans of offense and defense, such bulwarks against peace snd progress, be shaped into sightliness and comell- mess, OF &t least covered so Bot to repel. There is growing on & e near Seventeenth and Douglas, I am informed, & vine, called the lyceum, pretty ia ap- pearance, and which once planted on such banks will gradually grow over them and convert their barren walls to a rich green. What we want is a sentiment in this eity | which has for its watchword “Omaha the | best, and the best for Omaba.” And if | every ome will think it, feel it and act it, | the results to Omaha will be incalculable. | “Omaha, not only to work in, but to live in,” was the splendid sentiment of Alfred ! Millard the other day at the laying of the Auditorium cornerstone. Officials cannot | beautity our city unless back of them stands public sentiment for so doing. If they did, they would be criticised for so doing. And if public sentiment says so, you will see every officer too willing to do his part in the worthy movement. Public sentiment in Old Plymouth h created an official known as the tree war- den, looking to the protection of trees. In Minneapolls s an ordinance, I am fn- formed, which provides for systematic im- provement of street borders on petition of certain property owners, and in many other cities much and more has been | done. Public sentiment in this city would | soon be crystalized In law and ordinance, looking to a general lmprovement of our city. For laws and ordinances are the milestones marking the sentiment of a people in thelr progress for mutual im- provement and protection. Things We Can Do. There are some things in our city that cannot be remedled, such for instance as streets that the addition owners lald out looking solely to what they could get out of their property. In one part of the city we have an addition where the traveler, in a distance of six blocks, must twice make & turn of only & rod or so to prevent colliding with & huge embankment, & good place for a game of travelers' hide and seek, but some things we can do. We can organize to ci public sentiment to improve our city's appearadce. And each can beautify his own home. He can, by request or example, get his neighbor so to do. We can create a feeling that will pre- vent luxuriant growths of tin cans, weeds, hay wire, old shoes and other ris on vacant lots and nd walks, #0 that after a h shower & catch basin does not look llke a monument on the plains to a forty-niner, or some hardy western venturer, and the guttering sbout your house is not fnlaid with tin or flli- greed with hay wire, and so that health and happiness is ours. We can creats sentiment. in favor of having sidewalks uniform in location and material along our streets, and for keeping unusued portions of the highway in neat conditien. In in- ducing persons generally to bulld the same dlstance from the street, and getting them to not walk against the curbing and then fence to the sidewalk, and, as on Twentleth street, near Dod street, where women in great numbers pass during the week, then place & large fiat stepstone, covering about one-half the walk, and then frequently paint the fence, and in passing bet: the rock of Charybdis a the fence of Becylla be! decorated the Knight of the Garter, or the | Order of Red M Mystic Circle, and be an agent for ple paints. And we & sendment for street marking. tronger can locate himself better and & man of late hours can, in that one thing, find solace. We can create & sent!ment for many things that will tend to help happiness and higher education. Other Citles Are Alive. Great progress has thus far been made in awakening citles and towns toward im- proving their appearance. The people of Charleston, W. Vi toward us, Keokuk, and is beyond us, Spokane. The movement is covering the land and shall Omaha, the greatest and best, the future greatest and best, be last? Plerre Charles Enfant planned for the future énd planned well when he lald out our national capital city, but his plan, al- though approved by Washington, was looked upon as chimerical in that day and he was removed before he had gone far, But we see In that beautiful city what he did do and can therefrom imagine what he would have done. And now Washington, in its enthusiasm for & new Washington, regrets that Enfant's services were not retained. “Build for the future and for the demands of the future,” says a city which looks to . Dayton, Fort Worth, | | Elmira, Galveston, Austin, and it is coming fta various interests. Get advice and en- thusiasm from the women to whom I have referred and from the American League for Civic Improvement, a well organized and Influential organization. Put at the head enterprising and willing workers.

Offer prizes for best sug- gestions and home made improvements.

Some of the good and enterprising women of this city not long since organized a elub for civic improvement, I am informed, and, notwithstanding the fact that the women generally get what they go after, if they have either the ald or the opposition of the men, they got neither—simply indiffer- ence, which is the poorest kind of en- couragement. You do not know where to find it, nor when, how or where to meet it. ‘There is now a department of the Woman's club whose objects, I learn, are somewhat similar to those suggested by me. But they are dnxious to see the work progress under whatever. organization or banner it may be. Results, not honor, is what they want.
