No Matter Who's Elected. While the office-seekers in thelr talkfests, and through their publicity organs, are paint- fng rosy pletures of the wonderful things they will do for Omaha if elected, and telling what dire disasterg await us if they are beaten, therc | are a few things which it will be well for the thinking eitizen who refuses to be stampeded by loud noise or big type to remember. No matter who's elected, Omaha is going to continue to forge ahead in the procession of pro- :'.gmnlv- and thriving western cities No matter who's elected our ecity government will continue to revolve, the taxes will be approximately the same, and we will get for our money no more than we pay for. No matter who's elected, the general moral level of thé community, which is already high, will rise only along with the general moral stan- dards of the people who live here, No matter who's elected, the police and the tire departments will both be kept busy putting out conflagrations that break loose periodically —~~conflagrations caused by over-heated inflam- mables, and conflagrations caused by over- heated men and women. No matter who's elected, the confliet be- tween the public service corporations and the people will be waged in varying degrees of in- tensity. Whenever the corporations think they are Mupg the worst of it, they will appeal to the courts; whenever their patrons think they are getting the worst of it, they will appeal to the voters, No matter who's elected, Omaha will be a bigger, better and grander city for people to live in next year than it is this year, just as it is this year bigger, better and grander than it was last year, the year before, or the year be- fore that. —— An Anti-Fee-Grabbing Decision. The fee-grabbing business is not confined to this vieinity, but neither is it any more popular ‘elsewhere than it is here, if & decision just ren- déréd in Pennuylvania reflects the tendency of the times. The gist of it may be gathered from the following editorial comment, taken from the Philadelphia Bulletin, which should be interest- ing reading in connection with certain similar conditions out here: Toe grabbers In public office in this state will not derive much comfort from the deciston of Justice Stewart, on behalf of the supreme oourt, in ordering court clerks to turn their share of fees ocollected from applicants for naturalization Into the county treasur- les, despite the federal law allowing them to retain half y In support of this position, Justice Stewart’s opin- fon unequivocally upholds and enforces the provision of the constitution, which declares that “all county officers who are, or may be, salaried, shall pay all fees whioh they may be authorized to recelve into the treasury of the county or state, as may be di- rected by law.” This Is a clause whith on many oc- oasions In the past hap been more homored in the ¢ It1s hardly necessery for The Bee to add any- thing to what the Bulletin sa; grabbing is certainly doomed be defended. ) Semp——— Sundey was & glorious day, tull of sunshine the joyous life of by & mine, under the crack of which a ip reeled and sank, while the crew scampered for the boats, some dying from shock and some from the flying fragments of wreck- age. Anxious eyes searched the surface of the ‘waters for the appearance of the periscope, which ever and anon flashed to the under-sea { destroyer the presence of its quarry. How often this scene was repeated is mot known, but the | terror of war has its grip on the high ses now a8 it has on the land. The beautiful spring time, with all its inspiration to lfe and its in- centive to creative work, i# witnessing destruc- on on a scale that man never before equalled. God made a beautiful world, and man is turn- ing it into a veritable inferno, and pretending to do it in the name of human progress! —— Life and Longevity. What course of personal conduct best tends to the continuation of the individual life? The never-ending argument concerning this question | has been revived by the report of a life insur- | ance president, with a wide angle of divergence between authorities who have analyzed and com- pared the same set of rigures. Factors that op- erate for or against longevity are weighed, valued, disearded, as the action suits the pur- pose of the analyst, and the conclusions tell 1it- tle that may be taken as absolute. What really constitutes life? 1Is it action, or is it merely existence? Which is the most use- ful, the man who gives his all In energy to serv: ice, or bim who conserves his forees and thereby prolongs his days? He lives most who accom- plishes most; activity in useful, productive or constructive effort is the real test of life. Length of years may content some, but restless, energetic souls will press forward, regardiess of | time, striving for a goal they may never attain, but always striving, and these only really live. | * Life insurance presidents, being {nterested in | the pu‘oloduuon‘nl__enngnnq of risks, bend their etforts to the teaching of elements of living, the avoldance of excesses, exposures, or unnecessary “risk of any kind, and in this way really serve the - world, becduse they jncrease the productive years of man.' ‘As w'result.of modern methods, man really lives longer and better: but this is not the all-tnsadt ot life. " To live 1s to be active, to have & part in the creative effort of mankind, regard- less of whether the span be long or short, so long as it 18 husy, for “an end is an end, whether it cometh on the wWinged heels of a week or the | dull stretch of & century.” g e——— Down at Lincoln the political warfare has been just as hot and heavy as in Omahas, if not more so, although being a university town the epithets burled between the camps are stymolog: eally perbaps & little more polite. the machinery of | | I Aimed at Omaha | Hastings Tribune: The Omaha Bee (8 mesting with i splendid success with fts petition to the governor of | Georgia, asking to save Leo M.

However, If she tries to market any at that price she will bump into competition on the part of the maidens who are willing to supply an equally good, It not superior article, for less money. Columbus Telegram: If the people of Omaha can bring the national republican conveation to that clty next year, the prize will he worth all the momey it will ‘cost. Thousands of eastern and southern people annually visit the Rocky mountain states, and the Pacific coast, but they never stop in the corn belt long enough to take a half-way look at the finest agricultural landscapes under the sun. Nebraska has an association of commercial clubs. The Telegram belioves the allied commercial clubs should Join hands with Omaha (n the effort to bring that great conven- tion to this state. The direct bemefit will, of eourse, ba to Omaha, but indireotly the bringing of thousands of substantial eastern and southern people out to the prairies will bs to the advantage of all Nebraska. And #0 the Telogram appeals to the commercial clubs of Nebraska to lend hend and heart and purse to Omaha in one united and intelligent effort to win for Ne- braske-one of the really great conventions of 1916. Tt cam be done, Nebraskans can do anything when they try their best Tekamah Journal. The base bail season of the Western league has opened and in the first week of play it will be noted that Omaha is ocoupying first place. This Is encouraging to those Nebrasks fane who have pinned their faith in the Omaha bunch for the last sevaral years. We speak of it mow for fear there may not be another time this year when the Omaha team will oecupy the place at the top of the heap. < Kearney Hub: An Omaha woman offers a large sum in cash prises for children who will dig the &reatost number of dandelions. That might be a good stunt for the city government to pull off, in the absence of another public spirited woman or other per- son in Kearney Grand Island Independent: That Omaha woman who sued for $60,000 damages for one kisa forced upon her by one who could be for that sum, was given a verdiet of §1,000 by the jury. If that, too, was a contingency foe cawe, the attorney did fatrly wel at that. | Hastings Tribune: Since Omaha has adopted the plan of parking automobiles in the center of the business strests a couple of autos have been stelen right froni under the policeman's nose, It would seem that where automoblies ave parked there should be a checking system. — Oakland Independent: Conductor Kelly of the Men- delssohn chorus in Omaha has tried for four years o like high class He music ever written. » Ehelton Clipper: A Council Blufte (la.) heen asked to pay an Omaha. irl 31,000 for a Kiss, ‘that amqunt being the decision of' a ‘fury Judge Leslie's district court.

L. concerning the habits of people | moing out to Pries lake. 1 only wish that every one in Greater Omaha would i read this plece. I was out last summer Wwith a little party and will say that it is A most besutiful trip to go out to Pries Jake and then northwest untfl vou strike Kaufman road. At almost cvery lével ot we would find there had beenm a | campfire made and the ground would be strewn with egg shells, paper and all kinds of litter. T note what M 1. sald concerning the flowers. T would also say what he said in regard to his premises is true of Child’s Point. Child’s Point is one of the most beautiful places that 1 have ever visitad. Years ago I frequently rode a horse to Child's Point and spent many hours there. At that time we could find what we called Sweet Willlams and the woods were full of violets, that we com- mon people call Johnny Jump-ups, also honeysuckles, and a great many other flowers. Today you will not find any of the white Sweet Willlams or the red, and & very few of the blue. It does seem that there should be some movement started to save these two beautiful spots #0 close to Greater Omaha from destruc- tion. If teachers would when they take insatruct them children to these wood temdency in the spring for bptany classes to try to get a specimen of all kinds of flowers, which If continued will soan de- stroy all the rare flowers Mr. Child's people are as magnanimous a8 M. L., and it is our opinion that there should be some effort on the part of the public to respect thair beautiful Pleces of property, otherwise they will be compelled to bar the publle. It sure must be thoughtlessness on the part of the public. - Want G. A. R. Encampment, OMAHA, May 3.—To the, BMitor of The Dee: Mr. George G. Wallace voices a very timely sentiment toward securing the 1816 encampent of the Grand Army of the Republic in Omaha. This meeting will bo the fiftleth anniversary of this | &reat organization. And under its au- | #pices and meeting at the same time and place will be held the national meetings | of five other of the great patriotic orders and socleties of this country, the mem- bersiatp of which mounts Into hundreds of thousands and whose membesrhip and Tepresentatives will bring thousands to our city from every state, torritory and Posseasion belonging to the United States, Scarcely a town of any size in the past; the rivalry between the states is of great interest: Massachusetts Wwill vie with Ohio; New York with Phil. sdelphia; Alaska with Hawali; Cba with the Philippines. Competition for these metings runs high ~there are already many cities com- peting for the 1918 encampment. The city of Washington, D. C., is asking that the be permanently located there.
