V- -/ Omdhd Vhei^ freest is at its Best ELECTION IS OVER: LET’S GO. Omaha voters have returned to office the seven .sitting city commissioners, a result that was amply forecast before the election. While the commission ers are entitled to the felicitations of a result that must appear most happy to them, they should ac cept the election not so much as an approval of past conduct as an incentive to greater effort. Dur ing the next three years judgment of the public will not rest on what has been done, but what will be done. The expression of confidence in the integrity and ability of the men who direct the city affairs is, we think, well bestowed, but it is up to them to so conduct their affairs as to demonstrate that con fidence is not misplaced. It is a commission that has been handed them, not a license. • • * Oldest inhabitants of Omaha can not recall a city election in which so little of rancor was exhibited. This does not mean that Omahans are indifferent as to their city government, but that the issue solely was how best to serve public interests and insure public welfare. Choice between the candidates was narrow, and the election rpsult) turned very largely, if not entirely, on the fact that the successful candidates were already holding office, and the voters could see no good reason for turning out a man who had done well merely to give his place to another. Candi dates who fell below the mark have nothing to regret, for they are still regarded as worthy to have aspired to the position, and equal to the duties of the office if elected. On this basis of unity the city has a right to ex pect a forward-looking administration. Certain practices that have prevailed in the past may well he abandoned. Free and open discussion of all ques tions, with honest difference of opinion fully re spected, should mark the doings of the city council. Personal ambitions nor political preferences should not mar the transaction of public business or inter fere with public interest. Divided authority implies divided responsibility, and this must be guarded against. Good sendee requires that carh commis sioner have not only control of his department, but that he be held accountable for what is done in his name. The commissioners may depend upon it that they will he watched as closely ns ever, that criticism and frank oversight of their acts will be exercised by the public, and that excuses will not be accepted as reasons where mistakes are made. Amendments to the city charter, adopted by over whelming vote, opqn the way to an extensive cam paign of public improvement. It is not wise to ac cept this permission as a demand for reckless or ex travagant action. Certain needed work has been held up on account of restrictions that were deemed prudent when placed in the charter. N'ow that the fundamental law of the city wiH allow steps to be taken that were not possible before, the council can go ahead with work that is needed, but with due re gard to the general conditions that surround the sit uation. Opening and widening of certain streets, paving of boulevards, and improvements of that nature will be proceeded with, but must not be made burden some, merely for the sake of doing something. A great deal of this sort of work is necessary, and has been postponed for no other reason than that the conditions under which it might be achieved were all hut impossible to meet. Voters have changed this, and given assent to more liberal provisions, out of which may come betterments that will be for the good nf all. , Certain other proposed projects, surh as the es tablishment of the Riverside Drive, and the improve ments at Carter lake, which were not specifically in cluded in the amendments to the charter, ought to be made part of the general program, and carried into effect with as little delay as possible. Omaha has lagged in these matters, and has allowed some golden opportunities to slip by. Haste will not cure this, but a well directed policy of improvement per sistently followed up, will be wise and beneficial. • * • For the general Forward Omaha movement the outcome of the election should be encouraging. It denotes a spirit of harmony among the citizens, which is essential to any advance. Affairs of the community are in good condition, and there is reason to look for improvement. With concord prevailing, and all working in harmony, the way ahead is clear, and Omaha's advance was never more definitely as sured than it is now. “Full steam ahead!” is the order. We are on the way to bigger and better things for Omaha. OMAHA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. The unselfish efforts of Omaha musicians and music lovers to elevate cultural standards and in culcate a love for better music, deserve the com mendation and support, of the entire public. Croat symphony orchestras are not created over night, nor is it possible to create over night a taste for music of the highest standard. These are matters of grad ual growth, and that gradual growth is possible only when unselfish devotion to better things is evidenced by men and women. An ever increasing group of Omaha music lovers has for years been working devotedly to elevate musical standards in Omaha and the middlewest, and to promote and if possible maintain in Omaha a symphony orchestra that will lift publics ideals of what music is to higher levels. What such an or ganization would mean for the betterment of condi tions in Omaha it is impossible to estimate. Music in the public schools has been of great benefit in elevating standards and creating a desire for better things. Surely anything that tends to create a desire for the best in life, whether it be music or art or literature, is to be commended and supported by those who think above the sordid levels. The earnest men and women who have sacrificed time and money and effort to promote better music and to give Omaha a symphony orchestra, deserve the thanks of the whole people. These thanks may be best expressed by financial support of the organ ization, and the opportunity so to do is afforded next Friday night, when the Omaha Symphony orchestra gives its initial concert in the Municipal Auditorium. On that occasion the auditorium should be crowded to capacity, not only because of the real merits of the concert to be given, but because it will be an in spiration to those who are working wholeheartedly for the best in music. CHARLES F. WELLER. Few men could pass from Omaha’s life who would be more profoundly mourned than Charles F. Weller. Identified as he has been for almost two generations with every phase of the community life, he had made for himself such a place as does not ordinarily come to any man. Head of a great wholesale establishment, his suc cess wai built on his personal exertions. When he left the army at the close of the Civil war, he ac cepted a job as traveling salesman for a drug house at Quincy, 111., and from that day on he gained un usual prominence. Step by step he advanced until he became the active head of one of the great drug con cerns of the United States. In this trade he was highly honored for his ability and integrity. To the end of his life he retained his interest, and his industry was a most inspiring example to the younger men in the trade. In the community he was n builder. One of the charter members of the old Omaha Board of Trade, which has since become the Chamber of Commerce, he was unremitting in his service to the business in terests of Omaha. How extensive was his contribu tions in this way no man can say, but the measure of his devotion was his opportunity .to serve. The same qan be said of him in other respects. • He was active in church work, and in all good causes for the ad vancement of the city’s general welfare. At no point did he seek the spotlight, modestly remaining in the background, but always depended upon for advice and assistance, and always ready to give. Such as were admitted to the circle of his close acquaintance knew the charm of a rare character. His “Clean Rpcord Club,” a bit of his own pleasantry, was a source of unlimited enjoyment to his friend|, although his genial nature and optimistic outlook enabled him to extend the privilege to many w'ho might not have stood the rigid test. It was but the expression of a man who had an unflagging faith in his fellows. “Charley” Weller will be sorrowful!/ noted for his passing. FINIS FOR HIRAM JOHNSON. Calvin Coolidge’s pyramid of popularity has re ceived its capstone. California has voted to give him the delegates from that state to the Cleveland con vention. This is more of a victory for the president than it is defeat for Hiram Johnson. Californians understood that the vote of the state would hot turn the tide of nomination, and they prefer to be inside with Coolidge rather than outside with Johnson. Senator Johnson’s campaign was a mistake from the first. He sought to blow into a blaze the fire that flamed twelve years ago, and failed. Not a glow could he extort from the dead embers of dis sension that once divided the republican party. He scolded, he fumed, criticized and condemned all in vain. Voters heard him, and gave their support to the man against whom the senator devoted his strongest opposition. There is a lesson in this for all who aspire to pub lic office. The people want a man who is trying to do something, whose efforts are for upbuilding and not for tearing down. Coolidge has a definite pro-, gram, Johnson had not. As a senator of the United States, Mr. Johnson had an opportunity to serve his country by remaining in the senate and aiding the president in putting through measures for the relief of agriculture, for the reduction of taxes, and for the general improvement of the whole country. These have been defeated so far by factions, by the defec tion of senators elected as republicans, but prefer ring to vote as democrats. Hiram Johnson contributed to this both directly and indirectly. No act of the president met his ap proval; no policy of the government had his com mendation. He was against everything. Long ago he had his chance to withdraw without discredit, and to give assistance to the president. He preferred to persist in his course, and has reaped his reward in California. As a national issue he is extinct. The Detroit News suggests that statesmen he clothed in uniforms without pockets. We move to amend by including a prohibition of black satchels. One advantage to having the state conventions meet on the same day is that the democrats get the benefits of republican weather. The navy wants money to observe an eclipse. In other words, if the appropriation fails, the naval ob servatory will be eclipsed. But why develop Nebraska waterpowers when a gubernatorial internal combustion gas engine is running on high all the time? “Where did man start?" inquires an eastern pro fessor. We are not interested. It is man's finish that concerns us. Our idea of a great discovery would be to devise some method of making the odor of the onion pop ular. Homespun Verse —By Omaha's Own Poet— Robert Worthington Davie v A COMMON AND CONTENTED MAN. Ill* humble home waa dear to him though it waa crude and atnall: lie loved the woodbine climbing up the rustic garden wall, He loved the trellis and Hie gate he loved them truly, all. And God was kind to give him flowers; the flowara were kinder still To glow upon the barren spots, and showers were glad to till The thirsting mouth* of violet and rose and daffodil. The sun was glad to share the balm so requialt* to life. And fate was kind to shield hint from both sordldnea* and strife, And love was kind and gave to him a faithful, loyal wife.

V-/ I England and Our Navy. ■Winnipeg, Man.—To Hie Editor of The Omaha Bee; If Americana will take a few minutes to look at their navy they will find a must remark able situation; one which shows the powerful influence which England hiia over the affairs of the United States. It may he said that Englnnd has no colony in ils whole empire over which It can direct the legisla tion as easily as it can the "land of the free." Take this elevation of navy guns as one illustration. Over a year ago the United States congress voted over $6,000,00(1 for the purpose of elevating its naval guns so they would range as far as. those on the ships of the British battle ships. From Its inception the bill was bitterly fought, hut in a con gress more devoted to reason and deference of its country than the pres ent secession of congress, it got through. Then the British war lords, headed, of course, by l,ord Curzon, started a campaign aghlnst it, appeal ing to everyone he could to stop It. But once again he found an airtight cabinet which was upheld, and prop erly so, by President Harding. Par ticularly strong in their resisance was Denby. Now any one with a lick of sense knows that If two battleships are lighting ami one lias a longer range than the other all the long range ship has to do is to step out of the other's short range and pepper the daylights out of the less fortunate op ponent. That is about as clear a proposition as one would wish to ex amine. Now these brilliant War Cords of England maintained the Washington arms parley allowed Britain to have this advantage. If tlie Washington parley allowed any such advantage then there is some one in the United States who ha* proved either a traitor to their coun try or else they are so weak above the ears they should be found out and sent to an old woman's sewing circle. Surely to goodness no one on earth is going to consent to ». ch a program, yet such Is what the British claimed. Nowr Curzon could only And two places where he received any aort of a hearing. One was with young Roosevelt, a young man handicapped by being the son of a famous man and thereby subjected to the influence of flattery which these foreign diplo mats know Kow to spread on. and the other was Hughes who has always had a sort of a slobbering affection for everything British. Well by work ing tmth of these influences hard they Anally succeeded in getting the $6, 000. 000 appropriation and the election of the guns put off for a year or so So far so good. After that events happen very quickly, Harding dies rather sudden 1. v and shortly after the present ses sion of congress gels Itself into a back yard garbage throwing battle In which they plaster swill all over their dead president and every member of the cabinet except two, Roosevelt and Hughes. It Is not going to be a very pretty story for young America to read when history records what these insurgents did to a man like Andrew Mellon. In fait the whola thing stinks *o badly Just now that people on the outside have to turn their backs, but kindly winds may blow a good deal of it away, hut It will never blow away what th# "progressive" senators have done to your secretary of the treasury, a man whose char acter Is as unblemished as the driven snow. llnwnfr that Is another pic ture When the swill contest had cleared away to some extent It was found that Denby, the man who re sisted the foreign invasion, had been yanked out nf his aeat in the Navy saddle and another was now in his place. Among the first things the new man does is to kill the elevating of the gun project and the $6.000 000 is given to the purpose of building some little match boxes to scoot around the water like water spiders In search of bootleggers. That hss s tinge of Irony In It because England Is Just about to give up tha "water route" for her booze and Canada is building more airships. The modern method of bootlegging, as soon as the $6,(POO,000 match box fleet Is com pleted, will be by air from Canada and Mexico. In addition to that It would not he surprising If when the rum fleet was completed the rum war would not be over and the United States had passe,! some amendment to their constitution w hich w ill plai e (his $6,000,000 rum fleet alongside the billion dollar merchant marine now rusting In many United Slates harbors.

(f'npvi l«h» 1 92 4 ) they look to is results hikI so In this case they smile as they look at the result of their effort to keep the l'nited States navy ships as out of date as sail boats. But there is a new angle to this affair. The l'nited States now want to turn their 12-knot coal burners into cil burners, apparently under the im pression that if a warship cannot stand and fight on account of its short range guns then surely it should lve permitted to run away. But In this once more the British steam roller has started and they are op posing it upon the very self same bunk. They say the Arms parley will not permit It. f’ongress will tin doubtedlv pass the bill but the chances are ],000 to 1, the money Is never spent. Perhaps, after a long campaign. It will be used to build huge nets to catch the bootlegging airships. Ther e must be some reason given by these War Lords for their desire to "rule the waves'" by superior gun range and superior speed. There Is. Let. us see what it Is. They say they are a country surrounded by water and that their war-ships are for de fence while all the others are built for the purpose of destruction. It is not known how much longer this line of bunkum will he swallowed by such men as Hughes and others, well mean ing no doubt but unable to examine the facts. Let us see how these long range guns were used in the last war. When Germany started out on its world rruise did England plant Its battle ships around the island in de fense? Not at all. It used them as a blockade in the Nortfi sea so that Germany would be starved into sub mission. Were the shorter ranged guns and slower ships of Germany able to get out. They were no\ able to move a stroke and made Just one feeble effort to come and remove the strangle hold which the British fleet had upon Its harbors. But they were Instantly driven bar k. Now what would happen If a sirnlllar condition applied to the stales. History has a nasty way of repeating Itself. Why these longer ranged guns would do the very same thing. They would keep the old fashioned American battleships bottled tip no matter where they happened to be. But say the weak-kneed Pacifies there Is not the slightest chance of England and the l'nited States ever fighting again. Isn't there? We had a splendid Illustration as to how dose all nations are traveling, In this greedy world, to war every hour of every day. It only took two little simple words like "grave conse quences ' to come so close to a fight that there was no fun in it. All that was needed was for some one to lose their shirt for about three minutes and we would all be selecting our sizes in army trousers. Nhw if Japan and the I nited States went to war where would England stand? It has long been a friend of Japan: its alliance was only recently terminated and no matter how lovely the lang uage may be by Sir Esine Howard anil others, these crafty Britishers have a way of getting on the side of the nation that will give them the greatest return and Japan has little to offer In the way of new territory or cancellation of debts to justif'v Us going tn on that side. If it de cided to remain neutral it would he about as. i-ad because Japanese war ships are as effective as those of the British.

From th« York Repvbllrsu. The deepest feelings of the human heart center about religion. Nothing offends so deeply or permanently as thrusts of ridicule o> censure at one's religious beliefs. It takes monu mental forbearance to forgive the real or fancied aspersions of one's religious good judgment or sincerity. For this reason the public criticisms of rr ligious systems is to bedecried and regretted. They cannot result in good. In America we hold to the free exercise of religious convictions, free speech and free assemblage. No good citizen will wnnt these rights cur tailed. But it is unfortunate that every good thing has Its complement of 111, and so free speech allows things to he said In public that en gender animosities and promote re ligious intolerance, open or concealed. The good citizen, whatever his church affiliation or lack of it. will hold to the clear course of according to every other citizen the right to his own re ligious experience and will refrain from ridiculing or censuring him for his convictions. Only In this way cm the diversely religious people of this land dwell together In peace and safety and only in this way can the safety of American institutions be guaranteed. Spreading .41 Smith's Boom. From th* New York Sun. The "rainbow committee" which It Is proposed to organize in the interest of A1 Smith's presidential candidacy, Is a picturesque political move, it should be easy to form a group con taining 47 or more democratic reel dents of .N*rw York stale who ha\e come here from other parts of the union and who would be useful as liaison officers to communicate the Nmitti enthusiasm of the Umpire state democrats to the folk back home. Not that the governor is a stranger to many ststes. Ills victory in the Wisconsin primaries a week ago, and Hie good showing he made In Maesa cuhsetts, Missouri and Maryland this week are evidences that his popular ity among democrats is more than state-wide But the far west does not know him well and .Mr. McAdoo has the advantage of an early and care fully planned campaign in both the south and the west; so in these sec Hons the Smith supporters have fields to conquer. The governor's friends apparently ate anxious to make It known that Mr. Smith, while a Tammany man. is more than a Tammany candidate Hence the expressed Intention to call for aid upon democrats nationally known and not associated with Four teenth street in the minds of the vot ers. Men like Franklin ]>. Ro-.se velt. Rainhridge Colby and Frank I,. Polk should he helpful to the gov ernor's chances. They were loyal sup porters of Woodrow Wilson, whose memory must still he of potenev In the councils of the democratic party. And Mr. Rooosevelt. who has accepted the chairmanship of the Smith tom mittee, is familiar to democrats every where as the running mate of Ml Cox In 1920. Of course the people of this state know this, as governor. Mr. Smith has risen far above the level of Tamilian . organization methods without becom ing any the less a lovsl Tammant man. But the democrats of a]| the other states do not know it. Thar is why. if the independent democrats of New York wish to see Smith nomi nated. they must show their en Hiuslasm for him to their fellow iemocrats of the west and south. It - III Right.
