"SAFETY FIRST"
The al.nve. "SafVtv First." has Im-ooiho more than a motto for
railroad officials ami employes: it is Ijoing adopted as a rule of action
in luminous affairs, as well as in matters of personal safely.
In ordering a quarantine, from February 10 to March 10, against
cattle from South Dakota, Kansas and states east of the Missouri riv
er, the Nebraska Live Stock Sanitary Board have acted upon the
principle that it is better to be safe than to take chances on being
sorry.
There may be some criticism of the quarantine order, by persons
whose interests are directly and immediately affected by it, but The
Herald is strongly of the opinion that the action of the board was
the nifinpr Ihinir and that it was taken none too soon. Much as we
wish to see blooded stock brought into this state to improve the breed
of both dairy and beef cattle, we are sure that a little delay in this
matter now is much Detter than continuing ine hnk oi years oi uis
aster thru neirlect of proper precautions now.
The cattle men who called the attention of the State Live Stock
Sanilnrv Board to the mntter and requested the quarantine did
good thing, and they did another good thing when they appointed
five representative men to act as a standing lookout committee to as
sist in protecting the cattle interests of Nebraska.
TRIBUTE TO A WORTHY WOMAN
All the commercial job printing establishments in Omaha, about
fifty in number, stopped work for live minutes yesterday afternoon,
from 2 to 2:0!) o'clock, during the funeral of Mrs. Henrietta Kees,
wife of Samuel Kees, Sr. It was a fine tribute to the memory of a
worthy woman. Mrs. Kees passed away Monday afternoon. On
Tuesday morning the city commission of Omaha passed a resolution
deploring her death ami extending sympathy to the bereaved family.
Mrs. Kees was a splendid type of woman, having an influence for
good that will not end with her demise. She came to Omaha when a
young woman, in the year 1867, and opened a private school, soon
after becoming a teacher in the public schools of the young city. She
was a member of the Omaha Woman's Club, the Daughters of the
American Revolution, the Order of the Kastern Star, and the Nebras
ka State and Territory Pioneers. The pallbearers at her funeral
were members of the first class to graduate from the Omaha High
school, all of them at one time her pupils.
GOOD MANAGEMENT OF BLOCKADE
Two years ago, when western and northern Nebraska were cov
ered with a heavy blanket of snow, which was blown into railroad
cuts until they were filled, a number of passenger trains were stalled
in the open and the passengers faced danger in the form of hunger
and cold. This year, when it appeared that conditions would be the
same, the railroads took the wise course and kept their passenger
trains in the larger towns until the storm abated, averting any dan
ger of freezing or starving. While this caused some discomfort and
delay, it was decidedly better than the experiences gone through in
the blizzard of 1913.
