The Omaha Spirit.
What Is the Omaha spirit? What is the
outatanding element in the city's life that dls
tlngulahes It above everything elHe? What is
the goneral Impression -It makes upon the
stranger who comes here for a riot visit?
For one thing. Omaha Invariably Impresses
visitors as a wide-awake and substantial biini
nens center. Abroad It bears a top-notch repu
tation for doing a year-round volume and char
acter of buslneaa far above that done by any
othor city in the country comparable with it In
population.
For another thing, Omaha's people are
known to be hospitable and whole-hearted. They
have sent the city's fame to remote corners for
Its peerless manner of entertaining conventions
and delegations of visitors. This Is one respect
in which, we think we may say with due mod
eety, the city holds Its own with any.
For still another thing, Omaha is physically
well laid out, has wide, and of late well-kept,
streets; Is aspiring to a park system, boasts
most of the natural elements that go to make
up a flrst-rlaM, thorough-going American mu
nicipality, and Is keeping abreast the times in
the general elevation of the moral tone of the
community.
But, after all, we may ask with fairness to
the city In which we are all deeply concerned,
what Is the distinctive Omaha spirit? If we
may put that question thus, "What should It
be?" we venture to reply that the Omaha spirit
should be more the spirit of an amicable unity
of action among all Its people Insofar aa that
is possible. That we are boosters for Omaha
will not be questioned by anyone familiar with
the history of Ak-8ar-Ben or the work done by
our Commercial club, our Real Estate exchange,
our Bureau or Publicity and our varloua other
public and quaxl-publlc organizations, and onr
last thought would be to urge any more organ
izations for this purpose. But yet we believe
we voice the majority conviction when we eay
that there Is need for a larger, more coherent
co-operation as the distinctive Omaha spirit, the
spirit that minimizes faults and magnifies vir
tues, rooted In an Intelligent appreciation of the
city and Its future possibilities, so that he who
runs may read above every- other sign, "That la
the Omaha spirit."
"Toyland."
The opening of the numerous "toylands" In
various stores catering to holiday trade remind
us what a tremendous business Is now done In
providing playthings for children. It empha
sizes, also, the transformation that has been
wrought in recent years In the character and
multiplicity of toys. The marvel Is that such
beautiful, and so often Intricate, articles of
amusement can be supplied at the comparatively
small cost. It is gratifying to note, also, that
the Instruction lde of the toy has not been neg
lected, the child In many cases being put in pos
session of a miniature tool, or household utenail,
or mechanism, mastery of which may be later
put to practical use. This offsets what la lost by
the boys and girls being no longer obliged to de
velop their own resourcefulness for producing
home-made playthings. At this season of the
year more than any other "toyland" is "Joy-land."
'. , Physical Tcits for College Admission.
; Because in his annual report President But
ier of Columbia suggests that It might be wise
to require physical, aa well as mental, tests of
students applying for admission to our univer
sities, he is being raked fore and aft by the fire
of critics. Reference to the text of the report
discloses that . President Butler has not gone
nearly so far as one would suppose from the
noise of the fusillade, yet he does make the
point that to get fullest results from the educa
tional endowment, Instruction and training
furnished at a cost far In excess ot the tuition
exacted, should be conserved for those able to
make profitable use of them, and not wasted on
obvious defectives to the exclusion of worthy
and WAll Antltnnerl a n nlld n t tT r-1 1 t
tlonto the application of the physical test to
candidates for West Point and Annapolis, where
Uncle Bam shuts the door upon young men who
give no promise of ever becoming soldiers or
sailors, with the inference that literary and
scientific Institutions should demaqd a reason
able prospect of making good in whatever line
of work the student wishes to take up.
The outcry against the physical test natu
rally cltea numerous great scholars and scien
tists who have achieved fame despite apparently
Insurmountable obstacles. Many a great genius
and many a philosophical mind has been
hemmed In by a body of fearful frailty. Physi
cal examination would have barred them from
entering any college setting a test like that of
West Point or Annapolis, and might have lost
to the world their Invaluable contributions to
human knowledge and advancement. President
Butler would doubtless reply that these are all
rare exceptions to the) general rule, and that
where one weakling has succeeded through
strong mentality, thousands upon thousands
have failed. It Is Interesting to note that tha
Columbia Alumni Newa explains the recom
mendation of a physical examination . as In
tended merely to weed out the notoriously un
fit. Just as the purpose of the other test. Is to
elimlnste the mentally undeveloped or deficient.
Agree or disagree with him, President But
ler has plainly started a line of thought and
discussion for those responsible for the policy
of our higher educational Institutions not to be
lightly brushed aside If the pressure for college
admission continues to Increase.
Cobb's Kitchener Interview.
Lord Kitchener Is quoted as denying Irvin
Cobb's Interview making him say the war would
last at least three years. Nevertheless, Cobb
lnsltits that he said It. Kitchener's secretary
says his lordship expresses amazement that his
words ehould be so taken by the American re
porter. Indeed, he says bis lordship was not
conscious of giving an interview to Cobb, at all.
Cobb throws light on that by explaining that,
though be conversed with Kitchener for forty
minutes, be had no pencil or paper In his baud
and made no notes. This, contrary to the im
pression given by foolish playwrights, who in
variably manage so to depict a reporter on the
stage, is the American way. And right there,
we imagine. Is where all the trouble comes in.
Had Cobb gone at his man with pad and pencil,
asking a question and Jotting down the answer,
perhaps Lord Kitchener would have known he
was being interviewed.
' But, come to think of it, the British war lord
is not quoted In this later report as saying how
long he really thinks, or said he thought, the
war might last.
Honey.
Before sugar became so cheap many house
holds used to put no little store on honey as a
sweetening for edibles where sugar and syrup
has now come to be the customary thing. As
a matter of fact, the reason why sugar and
sugar products have had the preference is not
that honey Is less tasteful or less palatable, or
less nourishing, but that It Is less abundant, and
more costly. Honey Is a delicacy on many tables
and could come back largely Into Its own If
more attention were given to bee culture and
honey-making, and this very consummation Is
likely to be brought about by the unforeseen con
ditions affecting our sugar production and sugar
supply. Here Is a timely hint for the small
farmer, and particularly for the truck) gardener
In the neighborhood of the city market, who can
easily have a profitable by-product by letting
tho bees work for them.
An Atmosphere of War.
France adds Its "yellow book" to the color
scheme of alleged causes of the war, England,
Russia, Germany and Belgium bavins- already
contributed their official papers or books.
France says the kaiser's ultimatum to Russta
touched off the fire. Germany, of course, holds
that the assassination of the Austrian crown
prince was chiefly responsible for the outbreak
and each nation urges Its own vlewDolht with
equal vehemence. None, however, we venture
to say, gives the cause which history Is likelv
to name.
The Immediately preceding condition ha.
been very well phrased as an atmosphere of war.

The TJnkept Vineyard.
Mine own vineyard I have not k-Dt. fion. of
Solomon, 1:1.
Symbolizing the church's confessed short
coming, Solomon here gives u a text for the
remissness of duty, the remorseful consequence
or responsibility unmet. It Is a fixed principle,
working the same today as It worked in old
Israel's time.
Duty must be performed or somebody suf
fers. Often it Is an entire community. If one
family in its relation to society falls of its duty
In maintaining the proper home influence, the
effects are generally felt. They lead to failures
in other families untn society, built upon the
cornerstone of the family unit, awakes to the
realization of a failure so widespread as to
undermine, if not largely destroy, the potency
of home Influence.
Too many have failed to keep their own vine
yards. And ,how pathetically we rush about
seeking the remedy, fearing to demand a cure.
"Let the municipality do It," shouts the civic
expert. That is easy and moves u still further
along the line of least resistance, so the plan
la adopted. But more trouble comes In trying
to Invest society with the functions of the home.
It may give us a good substitute, but how can It
give us back: our home Influence?
Without disparaging the pure- motives back
of these efforts or the excellent results in front
of them. It seems to us Impossible to expect nor
mal health from artificial respiration. Yet good
folk tell us that the average home, weakened by
its own neglect, i no longer capable of exer
cising the stern functions that belong to It, and,
that as these powers must.be conserved, It is
necessary to transfer them to the community.
In certain matters that is undoubtedly true, but
let us hope that the transfer shall not be per
manent, but only a means to the essential end of
restoring the natural processes ot a healthful
family existence and Influence, ot getting each
one of us to keep his own vineyard as it should
be kept.
Signs of Winter.
Since the time the Wyoming weather prophet
predicted the coldest winter in ths history ot
the west, and we bad one ot the mildest, It has
not seemed safe to many who read of that pre
diction to become dogmatic about the signs ot
winter, such, for example, as the thickness of
the coats on blr,ds and animals and the action ot
vegetation,'
But, nevertheless, the Oldest Inhabitant ven
tures a prediction based on the frequent appear
ance at the beginning of December of heavy,
frosty fringes on trees and shrubbery early in
the morning. Have you not been struck by the
beauty of It? He saya this Is almost a sure sign
of a mild winter, with little snow.
Possibly, but prudence forbids us going far
astray on winter forecasts. We may hope for
the fulfillment of bis prediction, yet go right
along with all due preparation for a typical
western winter aa It we had not been foretold
what was ahead ot .us. Some folks have even
begun to fret over the absence of snow, fearing
that winter wheat may not get Us share before
the ground freeaes for the season. Which again
reminds us ot that editorial panegyric on "An
Early Spring." -written in a St. Paul newspaper
sanctum one tdght for morning consumption.
But before the paper got to its readers all the
sweet sign ox spring had been completely
burled under about eighteen inches of beautiful
white snow.
It Is hardly time as yet to worry about snow.
It's good advertising given to Rev. Mr. Sav

There are two methods of mounting a worn
and worm gear with the worm on top or bottom,
The former method (the Roach A Lang way)
is utilized, because tests over a period of five
years have shown it to be most efficient means
greater clearance produces a straight line drive
and with the Rauch & Lang spring system
. absorbs all shocks horizontally. A ride in a
Rauch & Lang worm drive will prove convincing.
