On Wednesday Americans will celebrate the natal day of the nation, and we believe that in the joyous acclaim of the event will sound the undertone of reverence and deep regard for the God of Nations, under whom a mighty people has grown up to maj esty and dominion in the world. On July 4, 1716, the representatives of the people of the United States, “appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions,” solemnly declared the -independence of the United States of America. And that appeal still is potent and sincere. For the rectitude of our intentions in all our national undertakings we have looked up to the Most High for approval. In the most eloquent address of any American president, Abraham Lincoln pledged him self that "this nation, under God,” should go for ward. “God reigns, and the government at Wash ington still lives,” said James A. Garfield, when stricken to death by a madman’s act. Never have we for a moment faltered in our dependence upon Almighty God for guidance and direction, for bless ings in peace, and for the preservation of our liber ties when danger has hung over the land. Why, then, should there be any question as to the destiny of such a people, or of its devotion to the truths of religion and the fundamentals of wor ship? Here and there a zealous sectarian may imagine that we are lax in our piety, because his particular tenets of peculiarities of belief do not prevail. Such hearts should be comforted by the reflection that Americans are heritors of the most glorious of traditions. It was to the glory of God that homes were first set up in the wilderness of the new world. True, sectarianism came with the first settlers, whose devout adherence to their doctrines led them to venture into a virgin land Fiat they might enjoy their own beliefs unmolested. And to this day the same freedom of worship exists. Strange sects, new dogmas, novel forms of worship, find ;n this land such opportunity as encourages their pres ence and propagates their growth. In this very thing should be the answer to those who sorrow for the future. No lack of reverence is discernible in the fact that membership in the churches of the land is steadily increasing; all de nominations report new adherents, and all around in the erection of more commodious and costly edi fices, dedicated to the uses of religion, to worship end praise, is shown the outward evidence of the prosperity of the church. Extension of its activit.es in all directions, 'nclusion of new social work, hu manitarian as well as doctrinal, may be taken as / proof ..of the virility of the church. Creeds may ch^jj^ind doctrinaires dispute, but belief in God remains and the people of the United States of Amenta are true to their dedication, and under God are looking forward to a higher and more worthy destiny. -v... HONEYMOON. Poets sing of it, maidens dream of it, the old envy it and the young live it. June, the month of weddings, is past, and in countless modest homes young couples are saying that it seems as if they had beeen married always. It is indeed a pleasant stage of existence—one in which the world is almost lorgotten. For them there is no more past than for a new born babe, and the future is sure because it seems unchanging. Time and money, those chief worries of the modern age of hustle and display, have no meaning for them. Most of these brides and grooms are starting life on slender means. A guest for dinner may require the last cent ,n the house, but for all I hat it is a joy to have some one view their happi ness. And an invitation out to dine is equally wel come, aside from the saving, for it permits them to display their attachment publicly. How happy also in after years are the memories of those honeymoon days. Sacrifices set at naught, hardshipe ignored, without fear or foreboding. To meet life always so bravely and gaily is to con quer. It is not that love does not deepen with the years or that this carefree existence is the happiest period of life. Matrimony has little advertisement, and such publicity as it receives is usually in the case of an unhappy ending. Yet, in spite of such dis couragement, there is no lack of tjiose to make the adventure. Love makes of marriage a lifelong mira cle of which the honeymoon is hut the beginning. CRIME AND FICTION Victor Hugo once was asked to write a poem on Spain. He bowed his thanks and declined, saying, “Unfortunately, I have been in Spain!’’ In other words, his poetic imagination refused to essay a flight where he would be continually hampered by material impressions. How different it is with some modern writers. They rely on concrete illustra tion*, drawing but little on their own consciousness, and leaving even less to the imagination of the reader. Such types are represented by a young woman, arrested for stealing garments in an Omaha depart ment store. She excused herself on the ground that she is a writer, Becking for sensations that she may incorporate in a volume she expect* to produce. A matter-of fact policeman told her she would get plenty of experience in the penitentiary. “How fine,” was her comment. A cynic may be inclined to doubt this young woman, l’erhaps she is, like many another, clever enough to seek to cloak her real purpose by assum ing to be something she is not. However, if she be indeed a writer, she has gone to considerable length, even to extremes, in her quest for material. The world has been surfeited with book* written on prison life by those who were sent up for real crimes, and with no thought of retailing the things that go on behind walls. The books of most potent appeal and undoubted influence in bringing about reforms, such ns “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” “Bleak House,” and the like have been written without their author* actually experi encing the thing* written of. Even Victor Hugo wrota "Les Miserable*,” by many esteemed the most impressive of all human records, without having been to prison, or undergoing any of the adventures that befell .lean Valjean. Realism doesn't always mean reality. I ‘OF SUCH IS THE KINGDOM.” “I have found a new slogan,” said the president to his friends in Utah, referring to the well known motto: ‘‘Utah's Best Crop is Babies." Conceding to the Mormons all credit for having originated the line, it is as well applied to Nebraska, to Kansas, to Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado, or any of the new and uncrowded states of the great west. Roosevelt was unable to discover any reason to ehide the people on this side of the Mississippi river for neglect to observe the injunction, “Increase and multiply!” All this region was peopled in the first place by sturdy, vigorous men and women. Marriage and giving in marriage went along with life, and the building of homes and rearing of families occupied their attention. Homely virtues were cherished, and manners were not corrupted by evil communica tions. The parson and the country doctor were highly esteemed members of the community, and their work is noticeable whichever way one turns. Children and grandchildren of the pioneer settlers are making the empire blossom and expand because they carry on in the spirit that prevailed in the beginning. Babies are the best crop in any country. They get more attention now, because they are better un derstood than ever, although no more appreciated. Mother and father have always been proud of their wee ones, but improving conditions make possible more comforts for baby than could be had, even a generation ago. So, wherever the president and his good wife turn on their trip through the west, they will find babies, the true hall mark of a young coun try, cherished and treasured, "for of such is the kingdom,” not only of heaven, but the reflection of that kingdom on earth. OVER THE TRAIL OF LINCOLN. Most people begin their knowledge of Abraham Lincoln at the little cabin near Hodgensville, Ky., and jump almost directly from there to the White House, pausing, perhaps, for a moment at Springfield, but hesitating nowhere else. A considerable journey lies between the beginning and the end of this great man’s career. One part of it stretches between his birthplace ami the Illinois capital, and a consider able portion of this is very hastily gone over by biog raphers. Some patient investigator will yet dis inter some of the "short and simple annals of the poor,” and tell the world some-details of Abraham Lincoln’s boyhood now unconsidered by those who write concerning him. Maybe that is the purpose of Dr. William E. Barton, pastor of the First Congregational church of Oak Park, near Chicago, and one of the maty biographers of Lincoln, who has just completed in three and one-half days the ride of 687 miles over the route pursued by "Tom” Lincoln and his family on their migration from Kentucky to Illinois. Dr. Barton says he visited "every point of historical in terest in the life of Lincoln, and in one obscure Kentucky town located 250 relatives of the civil w'ar president.” We have no disposition to carp at the good doctor, but he surely did not waste any time, as he found the roads very muddy and was stuck several times along the route, so he must have been busy if he did all he says. Too much biography of Lincoln and other great men has been written with too little preparation. A journey of this sort will not afford any especially intimate knowledge of a subject so vast and so im portant. We are pleased, though, that Dr. Barton reports of the surviving relatives of Abraham Lin coln that “They are of a good class, thrifty, prop erty owners, for the most part engaged in working farms. I found them industrious and profoundly religious.” It would be nice if something of this sort could be said of Lincoln’s father, who was just the oppo site of thrifty and industrious. Standards of 114 years ago were different from those of today, but even by those standards Thomas Lincoln was looked upon as being a little below par. A carpenter and woodsman, surrounded by virgin forest in his new home in Indiana, he kept his family in an “open faced” shack, that is, a cabin with only three sides enclosed, until hardship and exposure brought fatal illness to Nancy Hanks Lincoln, thp mother of the president. A real story of the journey of the Lincoln family, and some more intimate information of Lin coln’s boyhood, will be a real contribution to the history of America's greatest man, and will be wel comed by all who love to trace the rise of an indi vidual from obscurity to immortality. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE NEW CAPITOL. One of the most interesting bulletins on Amer ican ethnology, issued by the Smithsonian institution, deals with the dwellings and ceremonial structures of the Indians of the central and northwest. In it is carefully described the apparently insignificant de tails of construction, location, and jnunugemcnt of the tepees, wigwams, or wickiups that distinguish one tribe from another, and one nation from another. These differences become material, once they are noted, and show how tribal or even family ideas and ideals controlled. This distinctive quality of architecture is notice able among all peoples of all ages. Formal structures or simple edifices express the characteristics of the people, its aspirations and achievements, at any particular period of its development. This is why the Nebraska statehouse, now being erected, is at tracting such interest among the general public. It is, as one architect expresses it, ‘‘We are making prog ress in this art of beautiful and expressive building,” stating that the design for the Nebraska statehouse 'took Into account two features of the union and made them the dominant motives for the building. One Is the strong horizontal motive of the prairie country, the other the contrasting vertical motive of the outstanding aspiration and progressiveness of their public life. Whatever may he said as to which, if any, tchools or types of architecture inspired Goodhue in his design, the answer will probably he found in this comment by another architect: "The architect has drown from neatly every known style, type anil period of architecture, ami In their combination at once defied precedent and achieved a striking aucceas " Nebraska is made up of representatives of many peoples snd races, and what' could he more fitting than that the capitnl of the state should exemplify this mixture of nations a composite of mRny ideas and ways, all fusing into the harmony of common citizenship, with a aingle purpose, that of the security and prosperity of all? Why should not such a state give to the world a new idea in building, as it has in other ways? .Steadfast, sincere, purposeful in all undertake mgs, the citizenry of Nebraska is of the quality that makes our nation great, because it is such as give strength and solidity to the foundations of the gov ernment, without being held fast by the things that have been or are being outlived. The broad, sturdy main building of the rapito! surely embodies the one phase of this idea, the staunch uptbrusting tower the other, and in the structure mny be noted that true vision of a people growing great Jiy its industry and devotion to the homely virtues. — ... ...»- .... ... ■ -- I Gate City of the West t. w. M’crMrorcjii In the Slerrotypera' Souvenir. Omaha ia ao young that many men atill live here who rame wlien the city was but a straggling village. Some of these recall the first settlement. A walk around the city will dislosemany proofs of how new we are. in the mut ter of year*. This same examination also will disclose the advantages of being new. Otnuha has been enabled to adopt all the benefits of great dis coveries with little or no Inconveni ence. We have all that goes to make for modern comforts in city life with none of the drawbacks. We have no congested residence districts, no tone ment sections, no slums. Our bous ing problem, for example. Is acute, for the reason that the city tins outgrown itself, and building has not in many years kept pace with the demand. Anil this does not mean that building has lagged, for the records show that more than 1,500 homes have been erected each year over a long period of years, the only break being during the war vvheti all building was checked bv government demand for material for war purposes. Omaha homes are homes, in the truest sense of the word. Cottage or mansion, bungalow nr big house, each has its own lawn and hack garden, its tree- anil shrub bery, its flowers and grass, and the home builders of the city have pride and pleasure in keeping ail things around them attractive. That Is why Omaha is glad to have visitors look her over. W. .1, Boyce, an Indian trader, had a stockade on the present site of Omaha as early as 1825. It was not until 1854, however, that settlers from Kanesville, which afterwards became Council Bluffs, crossed the river and established themselves, following the enactment of the tCansas-Nebraskn bill by congress. A considerable set tlement already was in existence at Bellevue, south, and Florence. north of the present city of Omaha. Flor ence has since lieen incorporated into Oreater Omaha. Bellevue was the headquarters of Peter Harpy, the fa mous Indian trader, whose relation* with the Indians and the trap|>era nre historic. Out of this grows an In teresting fact. In 1S54 Francis Burt of South Caro lina was appointed governor of the new territory of Nebraska. TTe cam* up tho Missouri river in due time, and found four rivals for the honor nf being named the capita t for hla do main. Nebraska City, fostered by St. Joseph, Bellevue Hnd Florence all pressed their claims over Omaha, and with such vehemence that Governor Burt, already in low health and worn out by his long Journey, was taken ill and died In ten day* after he had reached Nebraska.

Long before the railroad* came. Omaha was a commercial center, hi the day* liefure the Civil war, outfits were supplied and started from here, freighting as fur w est as I "tali, Idaho and Montana, and when gold was dis covered at Cherry Creek and the rush that founded Denver was begun, (•mnha was a lively trading point.

Richardson relat ing to the origin of the Transmissis sippl exposition. While according to Mr Richardson due credit for bringing the Transmississlppi congress to Omaha and exerting his influence with the representatives of this and other states to have the project of a Tran* mlssissljipl exposition endorsed, we do not think his statement detracts anything from the claim that the In ception of the exposition came from The Bee and its editor. "The original idea of holding an in terstate exposition at Omaha was pie sen ted and advocated by The Bee years ago when the state fair was re moved from Omaha. Incidental to the Interstate exposition project was the establishment of a permanent exposi tion of products of the Transmlssis slppi country. This idea had been re peatedly advanced and the erection of a permanent fireproof exposition build ing In the heart of the city urged from time to time. Within the past two years conferences were had with members of the hoard of county com missioners and the detailed plans and purposes of such a building discussed with a view to Its erection on county grounds The first definite suggestion of the proposed Transmississlppi ex position was formulated by the editor of The Bee some weeks previous to the session of the Northwest state im migration eonvention »t Bt. Paul. Minneapolis and St. Paui papers were at the lime .ailing for action l.s.klng toward a mldoontiner:t exposition at the Twin Cities. It was deemed im portant that Omaha should either compete at the convention for this enterprise or endeavor to anti, ipate the appeal for congressional re. gni tton bv sei urlng art endorsement from the then i-omlng Transmississlppi congress This Idea wee communi cated to Mayor Bemis and prominent members of the Commercial club who were enlisted in the state fair work At th«- outset the project met with a somewhat cold reception. But by the lime the congress assembled in Omaha enough favorable sentiment had been aroused to warrant the Omaha dele gation In asking the congress to memorialize congress in behalf of an exposition to lie held in this city tn 1*M “The reference fo the exposition In the Invitath-n Issued bv Mayor Bemis for Mi Richardson was thersfore in consonance with the Idea previously advanced and discussed In fact, the invitation circular merely intimated that a Transmississlppi exposition was contemplated at some indefinite time and Some indefinite plate tn he later determined The first public plea for an 1998 Transmississlppi exposition at Omaha was that contained in the edb torlal in The Sunday liee, November 25, 1895, the day before the assembling of tile congress and before Its mem bers had any thought that such a proj e.

II. ti. lieu, ser at Miller Park Presbyterian church tills morning. He will say: The outstanding characteristic of a I hero is rourage. Courage displayed In times of danger of individual# or na tinns. Moldlus. firemen, life savns become heroes through .their display of courage in the hours of duty and struggle. Through use of physical powers and acquired skill they excel their companions In times of danger and displaying courage come forth from tlie test "heroes.'' There Is another hero, however, the rhorul hero. He displays moral cour age ill the interest of truill and right eousness. He struggles exclusively for the morals and spiritual issues of persons and nations. Truth. Justice, righteousness, equality and goodness is the realm of moral courage and the moral hero. Moral cowardice is me opposite m moral courage ami is the weakness of many people, it is the weakness that prompts a man to avoid dif ficulties, to escape everything rough anil disagreeable, to yield to ciivom stances that make him Incapable t»! facing reproach, contempt or opposi tion of his fellow* men Kxamples of its ill effect* are daily l>efoi e our eyes. A man cannot l»ear the coolness of a friend or the con tempt of a leader of opinion so he stities his own Independent Judgment and goes with the majority. A man in business finds that his expenditure exceeds his income, but he is unable to face the shame of frankly lowering his position and curtailing his ex penses. so he is led Into fraudulent methods to keep pace, the road there of which Is short. The man who in trade knows that there are shameful, contemptible prac tices and yet hasn't moral courage to break through them. The parent cannot bear to risk the loss of his child'* good will even for an hour and so omits the chastisement he deserves. The schoolboy or girl, fearing the parents' disappointment, says he stands higher in his class than he does, or, fearing to lie thought soft and unmanly by his schoolmates, secs cruelty, or a cheat, or some wicked ness perpetrated without a word of honest anger or manly condemnation The living of a non Christian life, the denying of Christ simply because of the ridicule, the sneers, the jeers of friend* and companions. All this Is moral cowardice, the vtce which brings us down to a low level which bold sin ners set for us, or which at any rate sweeps the weak soul dow n to a thou sand perils and absolutely forbids the good there is In us from finding ex pressjon. Moral courage is needed by so many people That courage that spurs a man on to overcome difficulties, to surmount all obstacles and hindrance* in the way. to never sacrifice his own principles and convictions and Meals for gain or favor of man. that courage that will struggle to the last ditch for truth and honor, that courage that prompts ii man to stan i four square for Jesus Christ at all times under all circumstances or conditions. that moral courage y. courage born of the spirit of mun that can never lose a battle and that lives forever. “Working Togelher With Cod" is the theme of Key.

Anderson of Plymouth (ongre. national church this morning. He Hill say in part: We are living In a great country. It is great in extent. Few nations con tain as much area as do h>-. It is great in resources Its rivets, farms, factories and forests and mines con stitute a vast reservoir of wealth. It is great in the cities that teem with life and power. But these things may suggest big ness, rather than greatness All of these have a material and money value that looms large in the eye of the world and do not constitute the things that make for true greatness Our country is truly great because of four institutions that have helped to make it great. The school house Is the first. It Is distinctively an American institution. The next of these institutions is the dwelling house. The home should be the fountain head of love in thought, word and deed. It mutt be a place for character formation, obviating the necessity of character reformation. Great homes make a great nation. From the humblest homes America has summoned her greatest leaders. So long as the homes are kept pure, strong and inspirational, our country I vlll remain strong and grow great. The town hall is another institution that has helped to make our country great. Its keystone is law and order.
