An Annivcmy for The Bee.
Todsy mark the completion of forty-four
years for The Bee and the beginning of our
forty-fifth year. Pounded by Edward Roee
vater on June IS, 1871, The Bee established
Hoelf at once as a permanent Institution by re
sponding to the popular demand for a newspa
per thoroughly Identified with the Interests of
Omaha, sane, forceful, free and fearless, and
ready to battle against abuses and corruption
and for whatever promised the upbuilding of
the city and tbe welfare of Its inhabitants. Now
the oldest paper In Omaha, continuously tinder
the same ownership and management, tbe past
record Is naturally the best assurance of tbe
future,
The day-by-day appearance with close same
ness makea people forgetful, unless reminded,
of the achievements of a newspaper. The first
demand, of course. Is for all the news, readable,
accurate and prompt, and the present war has
given the most severe test ever applied. Be
cause The Bee i a charter member of the Asso
ciated Press, receiving Its full leased wire serv
ice, our readers are enjoying the most compre
lienslve and reliable war intelligence collected
by any news agency in the world. Not content
with that, we have supplemented this service on
the big events by an exclusive arrangement for
tbe cable dispatches of the New York World and
an unequalled special war photo' service wholly
unique In character. In addition, our local
newt reports, our dispatches from staff rep
resentatives at state and national capitals, and
from our own correspondents in all our neigh
boring cities and towns, our exclusive special
feature, fiction and comic picture services, all
combine to match the best efforts of the most
up-to-date and resourceful metropolitan dailies.
In recognition of the high standard of the
paper, The Bee's average circulation today out
tops tbat of,any previous time. As the pioneer
in making public exact circulation figures, The
Bee has ahown the variations from time to time,
and likewise a steady growth corresponding
with the growth of the community. The cur
rent circulation figures at the head of this page
are 63,345. Five years ago the figures were
42,358. When The Bee entered its thirty-fifth
ear the circulation was 80,928, and when" it
entered Its thirtieth year. In 1901, It was 36,866.
In a word, the number of Bee subscribers has
doubled In the last fifteen years. '
The magnitude of a newspaper like The Bee
merely as a' business enterprise may perhaps be
better grasped from a few. salient facts. The
Bee family consists of 216 regular employes, not
counting over 100 delivery carriers,.. nor the
numerous newsboys, nor several hundred news
correspondents who devote part of their time to
our. service. And the newspaper employes all
along the line average far higher wages than
any other establishment we know of employing
as many men and women, the payroll Isst year
approximating some $245,000. An exception
ally large proportion of them own homes and
pay taxes and help", carry the burdens of the
community. Nearly all this vast sum of money,
too, Is spent right here In Omaha, where it goes
into the channels of trade. Furthermore, it 1a
worth noting that a considerable part of the
money paid out locally by The Bee comes from
what Is known as foreign advertising, being
drawn from out of town, chiefly from the east.
What we oonsideY tbe biggest feather In our
tap during the past year Is the success! crowning
our persistent efforts for Greater. Omaha con
solidation. The Bee alone of Omaha newspa
pers has steadfastly championed the' merger, of
city and suburbs, and it is generally conceded
that without our aid at the critical turns the
.movement could not have won out even now.
At the same time the work of The Bee has also
told for the needed new school buildings, parks
and playgrounds, for saving the Auditorium.,
for good roads and for beautifying and embel
lithing the city, and for sane regulation of pub
lic, utilities in the Interest of the people, The
"btop-off-ln-Omaha" campaign, originated and
inaugurated by The Bee, la alao bringing the
city to the front and laying foundations for
further growth and development.
All th time Tbe Bee ia standing for better
living conditions and for higher standards in
every walk of life, for Intelligence and free
thought, for true charity, for art and culture,
for honesty, for higher Ideals, for Individual
liberty and democracy. While advocating tbe
principles of the republican party. The Bee is
independent of party. Roguea in office, or seek
ing office, have found, and will find, no counte
t ance no matter what party pretences they may
make. In the wider field of national and in
ternational affairs, Tbe Bee Is for peace with
honor, for keeping the United State out of the
torrible European war by upholding' the presi
dent and making the Stars and Stripes the pro
tecting emblem of all humanity. 1
JUinfall and the Growing- Crops.
. The deluge that has visited Nebraska wlthjn
the last fortnight has been a genuine blessing.
The observers at the University farm station
report that for the first time In years sufficient
Of moisture for the growing crops is provided
Careful soli tests and moisture measurements
have shown tbat there ia no excess of water In
the fields, hut the supply is ample and the ben
efit will be noted a little later la the season,
when the waving grain responds to sua and
wind. The experts at the university warn
orrhsrdists of danger from the apple scab, which
finds the cool, damp weather extremely favora
ble to Its ravages. Immediate spraying of trees
Is advised. Aside from this warning, the latest
bulletin from the state farm contains only the
nost encouraging of reports, and supports the
news that comes from all quarters of th state,
predicting a wonderful yield of all sorts of crops
fur th current year.
Medals and collegiate degree are coming

Medals and degree promise to equal the inven
tive score. Moreover, the honor are well won.

Beatrice Wun: The Board of Education of Omaha
has derided that high school pupils may be excuaed
from atudylng American hlatory If the principal rev
ommenda that they be given their diplomas without
taking that rnuree of study. Thla action ta In Mne
with th prevailing tendency In school clrclea to make
the 'course of study ao easy that anybody can Set
a diploma. The tendency la bad. We may reiterate
erhat we have aald before, that lowering the at and -arda
of education to meet the grade of Intelligence
of the leaa capable may reault In an Injury to he
more capable pupils. When aaay couraea of atudy
are Inetalled for the benefit 'of the teas able, so that
they ran get through and get an easily-won diploma,
the more capable pupil may be diverted from the
difficult taaka to the easy onea, and thereby loae the
training and mental discipline which the perform
ance of the mora difficult taak gives. The schools
hould not teach their pupil that difficult taaka
ahould be evaded. Nothing can be accomplished by
that palnlea method of eliding through either school

Nebraska City Pre a: The Omaha Bee atatea tht
th Nebraska Rntlway rommleaton la about to teatie
an nrdor that may have the effect of determining- to
what extent It control the creation of public utility
plants, this order to aland agalnat the eeabllehment
of a aecond telephone plant In an Interior town. The
law does not give the commtaalon any such authority,
but It seems to be seising authority wherever It can
get away with It, the ultimate aim being control cf
all public utllltlos, and In the latter field Ita power
ahould never be larger than they are at present.
Papllllon Ttmea: The Omaha Board of Education
haa ceetalnty eetabllal ed a precedent In deciding, that
the atudy of American hlatory would be optional In
the Omaha achool hereafter. The reon given Is
that It la too difficult for the pupils; to master and
carry their other work. Well, aomer people ttave ao
fr lost the American Ideals tret perhaps they are
Just a little bit aahamed of the history of their
country. ' Perhaps It doea not meet European Ideals.
At sny rate, thlnga have come to a sorry state when
the .history of the dlacovery of our continent, the
birth of a nation baptiaed in the blood of the patriots
whom we have been taught to revere, and whole
progress In sll lines of development eclipse those of
any nation, ancient or modern, la of so little Impor
tance aa to be neglected. No wonder our country ia
beginning to fall in Its mlselon of being the great
melting pot of the world. Perhaps the elements
have become e varied and complex that national
pride has ceaaed to exlat. Perhapa' we had better
pull down tho Btara and Btrlpea as being tog common
and perhaps we-may-as well forget the Fourth of
July snd ether oooaalone that remind ua of daya of
past glory. But there sre a few of us old-fashioned
people who still cllr.g to the ideals of our fore
fathers and , who love to read to them and their
achievements. . Then, too, there are thoae who believe
the taaka of atudents In . schools are. necessarily dif
ficult. We used to ce taugTit that nothing worth hav
ing' could be achieved without hard labor. But why
the hlatory of our country should be dropped when It
Is not nearly so difficult aa arithmetlo, algebra, latin
and many other studies. Why not drop them all and
make, tbe school curriculum one of esse and pleaaure,
aend atudenta their dlplomaa by parcel poet and do
away wtlh all this needless work and drudgery, which
we were taught developed the best that waa In us. By
all means make It nice and easy for th weaklings of
future generat'on.

of tha Boy Scout moveJT-ent, our troop

Some seem to have the Impreceton
that we are of a military character. W
do not stand for militarism, but we do
stand for Che military vlrtuea, ruch as
honor, loyalty, obedience and patriotism.
The uniform, the troop, the patrol and
th drill are not for military tactics,
they are for the unity, harmony and
rhythm of the spirit that boys learn In
scouting.
In order to become a firet-clasa acout
