And every kind of love makes a glory in the night. | M‘!a love that atirs the heart, and love that { gives it rest, { But the love that leads life upward is the noblest { and the best. « Henry Van Dake. Colonel Bryan persists in issuing ‘‘state- ments’’ with as much enthusiasm as a man sure of an audience. 8till, if gobblers insist on flying too high, a hunk of prime beef will serve as a foundation for Thanksgiving. As an unfailing point of optimism tho trained suffrage orator has the male polticlan beaten into the subcellar. War 15 the best excuse in sight for boosting lumber prices in & land of peace. It rivals board measure in accuracy. :l Now that the vocal batteries of the warring nations have reiterated thelr defles, it Is up to the fighters to produce the finish. S The most urgent need of the times, empha- sized by recent deadly fires, is not investigation after the tragedy, but building inspection m¢ rafeguards life regardless of cost. SEEE—— Exercising the mailed fist on newspapers is ot a new or exclusively royal function. Uncle Sam showed considerable efficiency in that line when forced to it during the civil war. This scheme to work the city prisoners on the streets will not be popular with the sheriff =not If it keeps them out of his jall-hotel and cuts down the profits on feeding them. The little boy's copybook says that every lad born on American soll may aspire to be président of this great republic. The actual number of White House occupants, however, can be easily added up on the fingers without counting any finger more than three times. ' CEps——— Merely as a rominiscence it would be In- structive to secure a census of the Bryan volun- teers who pulled off the ‘“home-coming” of 1906, and determine how many would attend a similar function today. By common consent the chairmanship of the census committee goes temporary, everybody is at work and there s a shortage of labor. Still, we have had more men and women applying to us for employment during the past month than for several months _ preceding, and they all tell the same story of ~ inability to find the work they need. It must ~ then, be only in the newspaper business that there are more people than jobs. Building Restrictions and City Planning. The first move incident to the creation of & ¢ity planning board has been to place restric- tions on the character of buildings to be erected in one section of the city. Similar restrictions lave heretofore been made in other sections through conditional deeds to property when land has been platted, and the results in obtaining & measure of regularity, harmony of design and exclusfon of incongruous elements are manifest _ 0 even the casual observer. If such restrictions lave proved valuable where voluntarily under- faken, their extension to districts where some of the property owners are unwilling will in 3 time work wonders in creating a more beautiful - eity. Probably in no place in the world has public and other incidents of @ city's growth been carried so far as in Buenos Ayres, where advance official approval must be 4ad on architectural plans of both residences . #nd business structures. In American cities it is not uncommon to see bulldings really artistic in themselves so discordantly grouped as to be ieally grotesque, If not ugly. In the Argentine . wept through the gross incompetency of the Architectural design there is not _ confined to a flat uniformity, but must be har- . monious, and as a result, travelers acclalmn the ~ Argentine ccpital the most beautiful of modern eities, That the American public Would submit to as far-reaching and ironclad restrictions is b jubtful, but there is 80 much room for im- P in our city building that the genera- 8 to come will hold us blameworthy if we & ity nothing of this kind would be possible ex- | Where Co-operation is Lacking. One of the telling points made by former Senator Burton in both of his addresses in Omaha, and one which cannot be too often re- peated or too energetically urged, is the need »f greater individual iuterest and personal par- ticipation by the citizen in public affairs Everyone cannot have his voice heard in the determination of national issues, and perhaps not in the discussion of state matters, but everyone can manifest a concern in subjects of immediate local and municipal moment. A meeting was held last week at the instance of the Commercial elub to debate a question that goes to the foundation of our relations to pub- corporations, but scarcely fifty peo- ple were present in addition to the members of the committee, and not a single representative of the improvement clubs and civic associations, had been specially Invited We recall when the charter convention was in ses- ¢ service which that ston and citizens generally were urged to ex- press their views and make suggestions, very few pald any attention to the invitation, not even the Commercial club itself. Tt is this con- dition of indifference and apathy, which seems to be chronic, that is the cause of so much after-the-fact’’ complaint about things done by public servants in a way that does not suit the critics. Our public officers, and particularly those charged with our municipal government, have a right to have more co-operatior from the citizens for whom they are working Exports of Pure-Bred Stock. American stockmen are now reaping a reward in an entirely unexpected way for their cfforts to build up the quality of their live stock, Up to recently the United States has rever been looked to by breeders in other lands for anything except horses in the driving and | burness racing classes, in which latter fields it has for many years been pre-eminent. For the best in cattle and draft horses the mewer coun- tries of the world have always looked to Europe, the United States among the rest. So persist- ently has this country followed the practice of finporting the best In this line from Europe that its horses and cattle have been bred up to a high standard, and as a result, now that the war Interferes with European exportations, the reople in other countries have turned to the United States and find here just what they want, No country in the world is better adapted to ralsing such stock than the United States and with the long years of bullding up the quality of breeding animals it is not unreason- uble to believe that when conditions which compelled outsiders to seek this market have passed away this most profitable business cennot only be retained, but increased. The ad- vantages which accrue from such a business are mianifold. Not only is there profit in it, but it is an incentive to still further improve the live stock and gives the farmer & direct and added interest in the foreign trade of the nation. There is no good reason why the United Ftates should not be the world’s leader in quality as well as quantity in live stock pro- duction and noth'ng is lacking now except a more general attention to sclentific methods. The complaint in Hurope for years has been that the United States was robbing, through puféhase, the 6ld countries of the best of their live stock, and certainly this has lald the m;ndwork for a great exporting industry, Liberty Bell Enroute Home. After being exhibited at the San Francisco exposition, the historic Liberty bell 1s now enroute to its home in Independence hall in Phijadelphia. The peoples of the world ha always been devotees of symbolism and, as a general proposition, the more thoroughly ideal- istic a people the greater the influence of sym- bols. Communities and Individuals therefore which adhere most closely to the ideals which this historic bell symbolizes havo shown the greatest interest In it during its travels, With- out & knowledge and appreclation of its sym- Lolism, the old bell would scarcely be an at- traction to any but the junk man, yet in the estimation of patriotic citizens of the United States it is the most valuable plece of metal in the world, for it stands as the emblem of the charter of our liberties. That transporting it from place to place is taking a risk cannot be questioned, but to many who have witnessed the influence upon the millions who have thus been given an opportunity to see it, its influ- ence In quickening patriotic sentiment is deemed ample recompense for the risk. To those of our citizenship whose ancestry amd traditions lead back to the days when the bell tirst pealed its notes of liberty it probably has u more intimate personality, but from the man- ner of its reception it can well be doubted ‘whether it carried to those any deeper meaning than to the great mass of more recent arrivals on our shores. While everyone who reveres the relic will feel easler when it has reached its rermanent home, thoughtful observers see that its travels have carried home a valuable lesson, —_— Motion Pictures and Crime. The motion picture has entered a new field of usefulness for the detection of criminals. For years identification has been accomplished mainly by photographs, measurements and thumb prints, but it often happens that when the identity of the perpetrator of a crime is known, or good descriptions of him are availa- ble, no photographs can be obtained serviceable for familiarising police officers all over the country with bhis appearance. The Chicago Volice have sought to fill this gap by the motion picture and every day the flotsam and jetsam that passes through the police court is being paraded before the motion picture camera and the films preserved. From the very nature of | things the major portion of these pictures will nover be utilized, but a study of them from day to day and the recurrence of the same people will familiarize the police with the faces of those who come often to the police court mill, end just when a face that is wanted can be picked from the mass no man can tell. Per- sigtence in the plan will in time produce a gal- lery of police character faces impracticable to obtain in the ordinary way. As yet the scheme has not been tried except in Chicago, but if the 'Iope. of its sponsors materialize every metro- | bolitan police department will eventually have | Its motion pleture operator, Well!

For the first time in fts history the library will next year have sufficlent re | sources to branch out and expand ite activities, anl make itself more of a factor in the intellectual life | of the community than it ever has been Talking to Miss Tobitt, the librarian, not long ago, 1 made a suggestion which seemed to strike her favorably, which 1 hope may be carried out, the idea having come to me from the unique Installation of | the juvenile books In the new Matthews book store, | devised by Mrs, Matthews, who planned everything 'n | this department specially to appeal to the little ones and make them feel at home. If a commercial estab- lishment finds it to advantage to cater to the children by making a cosy alcove of books for them, why should not our Public Library, whose chief function is to instill in young folks an appreciation of good literature and a love of books? My advice to Miss | Tobitt, therefore, was for a complete revolution oi the children's room in the Public Library. Why should not the youngsters patronizing the library have a room not only their own, but equipped and furnished with a view to making it comfortable for them and making them want to stay in it? True, the children’s room now there is, and has been for some time, fitted up with child’s size tables and chairs, an the walls are embellished with pictures of subjects within the child's conception—but that is about as far as the differentiation has gone. Why not, 1 asked, make it into a real living room with some easy chairs, and comfortable settees, if not upholstered rockers, instead of the hard-bottomed, straight-back ehairs, ranged round tables stiffly set In rows? Who ever sits at a table now-a-days, anyway, unless he uses the table to make notes? People used to read at tables because the tables held the lamps and nowhern elso was there light enough to read by. Uncomforta- ble chairs and desks may be all right for a school- room where uniformity and discipline ls necessary, but they are not necessary in a reading room. The furniture is not the only thing, either, that makes attractiveness in & room, for rugs, carpets, pleasing pictures and ornaments and hangings, con- tribute to a well-appointed living room or library in e ——— e ————————— “Se s the home, and would also help mightily in the juvenile part of a public library. And If comfort should prove a stimulus to the use of the library by the children, perhaps it could later be extended to the reading and reference rooms reserved for the adults. More than this, if such an Innovation should work out well here in Omaha, it would be taken up by libraries in other cities, and start something worth while. Another suggestion I have made would make avail- able for library use a lot of valuable space In the basement—it ought not to be called a basement, for It is entirely out of ground—mow required for the heating plant. With the completion of the new Grain Exchange bullding on the opposite side of,Nineteenth street, it would pay the city to enter into a contract for (the heating of the library building from the steam bollers in the office building. Though speak- ing wholly without authority in the matter, I have not the slightest doudbt that the Grain Exchange peo- Dle can supply the heat for the library at a profit for leas than it is costing the lbrary to heat its own miniature counterpart of himself, the vfinulu of whose §-year-old forehead indicated that he was men- tally wrestling with some perplexing problem.

Major George W, Teldeman of Savannah, Ga., tells the following about the old-time Georgia editor who ‘was usually mayor, justice of the peace, real estate agent, as well. Upon one occasion one of these editors was busy writing an editorial on the tariff, when a Georgis couple came in to be married. Without looking up, without once slacking his pen, the editor said: "“Time's money—want her?" “Yes,” sald the youth, "Want him?" the editor nodded toward the girl. “Yes,” she replied. “Man and wife," pronounced the editor, his pen still writing rapldly. “One dollar.
