Congratulations to you on your birthday, 'Mr. Bryan, with best wishes for many more of \ | them, Investment in well-chosen Omaha real estate is almost as profitable as war bables—and much safer. The. more desperate the criminal and the more dastardly the crime, the more certain the pardon. The French minister of finance thinks he | sees the end of the Eurcpean war. Well, he ' can’t hurry it up too fast for us. ep—— Considering how Mars is aviating prices in | all directions, a charge of $10 for a lesson on | the quality of furs is comparatively cheap. The customary Sabbath calm prevails on the Rio Grande, the Meuse, the Vistula, the Aisne, ' the Isonzo, the Euphrates and the Potomac. ‘What single bullding improvement will do most to advance Omaha in the procession of en- ' terprising cities? Unanimous chorus: ‘A new ' Union depot!" It is gathered from expert opinion that the future of bables will be much improved when babies exercise sounder discretion in the selec- tion of their parents. Spe—— The next legislature should tack one more clause onto our ballot law, making it impossib'e for anyone to run on more than one party ticket at a time, or to run for more than one offi¢e on the same ticket. The candidate for the legislature who wants to make a hit will emphasize as the main plank in his platform a promise to work for the repeal of a few of the fool laws with which our statute books are encumbered. —— Possibllities for good in the projected so- clety of widows no doubt are fully up to the prospectus. But the practical benefits remain to be shown. A successful rally in defense of the New York widow whom a jury assessed $12,600 for alienating another woman's hus- band would help mightily in boosting the mem- bership. Smm—— The exclusive information printed by The Bee some woeks ago that one Willlam Grant Webster of Chicago was to run as candidate for republican nomination for president in Nebraska, has been vindicated by an eleventh-hour filing. For a little while we were almost afraid that our “scoop” was to be a “boomerang,” but now we breathe easier. Sap— The state of “nerves”:shown by residents on both sides of the southern boundary is the natural result of deadly strife waged for years past. It is a dangerous condition, Mexicans hardly know who is friend or foe, and Amer- icans rightly resent being the victime of mur- derous outlawry. In the present circumstance and the certainty of early relief, moderation and self-restraint on this side of the line will greatly advance the common good. Spruce Up! The home and its surroundin ward expression of the character of the occu- an out- pants. No matter how humble it may be, its neatness and cleanliness bespeak the taste and industry of the people within. Indolence and shiftlessness are as clearly marked in the sur- roundings of a dwelllng as flowers and trees and tidy lawns signalize the thrift and energetio hopefulness of American homemakers. The test applies with equal force to the city as a whole. A city’s outward appearance advertises the character of the inhabitants as effectively as the home surroundings index the spirit of the indwellers. Omaha has Do reason to fear the test even at this stage of its growth. Building progress and public improvements cause un- tidiness in spots, and growing pains check the speed toward the city beautiful. These are minor hindrances. Ample room for improve- ment, for beautifying, for a general clean-up, remains. The individual home, the business house, the workshop and warehouse challenge taste, thrift and industry to & general sprucing vp. Spring sounds the call to action which will make Omaba more delightful to work and live in. L3 Hitting a Responsive Chord I'ie Bee's agitation for a new Union depot in chord with all The following letter that fure Omaha hitting a responsive classen of the community. to the Personal,” s 80 straight point although teel writer, who is a well known and widely traveled marke we that the man in a business here, will have uo objection to our making this use of it, so long as we keep his identity in confidence | 1 am klad to fighting for a Unlon station I believe the on n we haven't one | haven't gono after it as a city, in my travels | find, as you have en stated in The Letter ond facilities than we have We don't ask for such a folly the Union | tioh tn Kansas City, which is m more ke a | cathedral in the waiting room than a union station | and ia in some respects larger than the Grand Central In New York. It is the most inconvenient station f transferring from one train to another, as you have | to climb stairs and walk a long distance to get from one train to another, when the two tralns may be side by side on the tracks. It is the most incom- venient station for that purpose | have ever seen and & hardship for women and children The most convenient union atations of modern cons struction are the new ones in Minneapolis and Wichita, Kan. Both of these have the walting rooms, ticket of- fices, eto., on the street floor. In one case you go down 1o the rallroad tracks and In tho other you go up. The Northern Pacific station could be duplicated here in Omaha most ideally and when we went o the train we would not have to croas any tracks by just leav- ing the walting room by entrances to each track from the waiting room on a level with the bridge viaduot It 1a a shame for the rallroads running Into Omaha to plead poverty when the Union Pacific is paying 10 per cent net and when such railroads as the North- western, Milwaukee, Hurlington and Illinols Central are all running Into one station, to say nothing of the poorer ones. Compare this with the Wichita Union terminal, with only ono rallread running into it th 18 not In the hands of a receiver (?) and they are al to pay 444 per cent on $2,30,000 bonds. Of course, t station itself pfobably did not cost half a million and I imagine the balance of the cost was for ralsing the tracka to the city sc that the traffic goes under the tracks as in Chicago 1t the rallroads can pay for their terminal in Wichita on a basls of almost 44 per cent, they ought to borrow the money for the Omaha terminul on a basis of 4. Let us remind the writer of this letter and the people of Omaha in general, that it is not 80 much the question of borrowing the money needed, because the present bridge and ter- minal rentals would foot the whole bill in ten years' time, but more of getting the rallroads to act, and getting action will require continu- ous, persistent pressure and a determination not to be shaken off with trumped-up excuses. or When the War is Over. Whether present prophecies of peace are based on hope or have a foundation in fact, thought of the world leaders is directed to the conditions of life that will follow when peace has been restored and the normal activities of nations have been resumed. The clearest of thinkers see a new era for man in the not far distance. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler's opinion that this war is epochal in its effect is generally colncided with by the best of students and philosophers. As a contest between fundamen- tal principles, on the application of which de- pends the development of the race, it has an “n- portance far beyond the interests immediately involved, and its Influence will continue down through the ages until the processes of evolution reach a period when another catyclismic adjust- ment will follow in the natural order of growth. Already, as a direct result of the conflict so far as it has proceeded, a broader outlook for mankind is denoted, a greater scope for man's activity and a fuller appreciation of his abilities. The coming of peace will not mean the abolition of national or racial aspirations, but is likely to bring about a keener realization of national re- sponsibilities. Rivalry between nations will be enhanced, progress stimulated and achievement increased by the new conditions, The race to rebulld will far exceed the competition in de- struction, and the bast thought and utmost ener- gles of all will be enlisted in the work. All this is appreciated in the United States, where leaders of finance, commerce and industry have béen awakened to a sense of hitherto neg- lected opportunity and a desire to really become participants In world affairs. Handlcaps, due to relations that have been changed by the war, are disappearing before the energetic effort of our business men, and whatever the destiny of the world as shaped by the European upheaval, the United States will be in-the very front of man- kind's march to greater things. —— Origin of Words. In tracing a few German words to their origin, and showing how acts and ideas became associated and fixed in the language, Prof. Grummann has touched on one of the most fas- cinating branches of study. The pursuit of a word back through the ages to its beginning takes the student to the fountain of man. Real beginnings are lost in antiquity, so that we can cvnly know of the first spoken words by surmise based on hypothetical support, but somewhere written language appears, and while it shades off into the mists that hide the past, it gives a record of man's struggle upward. improvement in service and adaptability of words clearly mark the progress of man. His increas- ing needs, flowing from his expanding intellect, required new and better means for expression, and bis soclal growth is clearly established by the development of his language.

There will be a few contests this year, but nowhere near the previous high records made by the approximately 210 contests in 198, and the 23 in 1912 Four years ago it a three weeks' session of the full membership of the national committes to listen to the evidence and arugments in these cases and pass upon them. Every word was taken down stenographically by a corps of stenog- raphers, relleving one another, and transcribed from verbatim mimeograph coples of each sessfon's proceedings were available by the time the committes reconvened. 1 can't say just how much this record cost, but it was somewhere near $20,000, which came out of the convention fund put up Chicago. 1 presume copies of this prolifis document are in the archives somewhere, and may some day be worked over hy antiquarian students, but it will be a long time before the stenographers reap another like windfall took by The committes meeting may decide upon the ilst of temporary officers to be recommended to the con- vention, although of course, it is always up to the convention to mccept or reject. When the temporary chairman for the last meeting was chosen and the selection of Bilhu Root announced, the committes was sincerely convinced that he would be eminently satisfactory to all concerned, but this expectation scon proved to be a delusion. The recommendation was contested and produced one of the bitterest fights of the whole convention. Tt is my guess that whoever ia selected this time will be accepted without dissent and will take the chair by an acclamation ratification. Again The Bee's big family has been saddened by & visit of the Grim Reaper, who has taken away the genial comrade who was our day composing room foreman, Clyde A, Baumgardner. “Clyd as he was always famillarly addressed around the office, was at the meridian of vears and in outward appearance In the prime of life, but ap- pearances, alas, are too often deceptive. He was the oldest of all our employes in point of continuous serv- ice, unless T make an exception for Harry Haskell, who dates back to only three years after the founding of the paper, but who has been on a retirement pen- slon now for several years. More noteworthy still, “Clyde” spent thirty-one years with us and never worked for any one else. It was Haskell who took him in as & mere lad of 13 years when he asked for a job on his arrival in Omaha from Perry, Ia., where he came from. The job, of course, was the only boy's Job about & newspaper establishment, that of galley boy and apprentice. In that capacity “Clyde” used to be sent to the editorial rooms for copy, especially for time-copy des- ignated as ‘‘Miscellany,” being matter that in those days was scissored and thus distinguished from home- made “local” or “‘editorial,” which came In fits and starts and from “telegraph” which was expensive and scarce. Not accustomed to the word, he called for “‘miscellaneous,” pronouncing the * hard and for years was himself dubbed ‘‘Miscellaneous” by the office wags. He learned his trade and In due time became a journeyman printer and, later, an expert machine compositor, although most of the time he was on “the floor” and In the foreman's position. From the outset, as a boy, he was industrious and ambitious, a hard worker at a time when the tempta- tion was to regard the printors' trade as a loafing job. Compelled to earn his own living and help support his mother, he went to night school to, make the education he knew he would otherwise lo He was active in his union and his lodges and never shirkea the assignment of apectal duti He was thrifty, he saved his money, he married, he became a home- owner and a home-lover; he saw to it that his own children had the schooling opportunities he himself had lacked—in short, he was the typical, good, above- the average, useful citizen, the self-made man, al- ‘ways striving to do all that was expected of him and a little more and further than that, to develop and improve himself and better the condition of those de- pendent upon him, A thirty-one year perfod of personal service is long enough to make a man an almost fndispensable fix- ture In the institution, although, of course, we all know none of us are so indispensable that the wheels will not go round without us; yet we also know that, to the other old-timers, the place won't seem quite natural without “Clyde” for a long, long while Thirty Years Ago This Day in Omaha Compiled from Bee Piles. The Citizens Gas and Illuminating company has been incorporated by John A. MeShane, Willlam A. Paxton, James M. Woolworth, N.

Thus words and their uses become an almost inerrant index of the status of the users. Words, however, are only arbitrary symbols i at best, but in their correlated congregation become a wonderful instrument, whether to ex- press or conceal thought, and man's enlighten- ment is fairly measured by the use he makes of lunguage. —_—— The nightly {llumination of the court house opproaches is a great improvement which cannot help but impress strangers in the city. The good effect, however, would be immensely enhanced if that hideous Welcome arch were transplanted to some other spot where it would not disfigure the surroundings so grievously.
