NEBEASKANS IN EVIDENCE About Fiftj in Delegation to- General Federation of Women's Clubs.

The delegation Is consid ering Inviting one of the General Federa tion board meetings to Omaha some time during the next two years.' Boston, It is ' understood, will ask. for the next biennial, and sentiment seems generally In favor of the cast, which has not had a general meeting sine -tho Philadelphia convention in 1S4. Above everything else, woman suffrage has taken precedence In the Interest of the women, although there Is little possibility or its being allowed to come before the ' con vention. That the women generally are in sympathy with the principles-of woman suffrage Is evident, but owing to the pre judice existing against the enfranchise ment of women they deem It Inexpedient for the federation to endorse It and are equally unwilling that It should refuse endorsement, earing misinterpretation of such an action. Jt has been learned that Jane Addama of Chicago, chairman of the advisory Industrial committee, is not 'n sympathy with the resolution asking stat. federation.' and clubs to work for the enrrancnisement ,of working women, which were issued recently by that com mittee, and regarding .the origin of which so much mystery exists.

'.'"' After a short program of national airs by the band the mass was celebrated, re quiring about an hour.' The Latin words of the priests, the chanting of the choir. with the music of an organ, and the whole in front of 'an altar embellished with Images and candles and looking very much like the sltar of a church, were enough to give an ' impression which will newr be forgotten. Throughout the service Lieu tenant Furay and six of the Omaha Guards served as a guard of honor In front of the altar. The Omaha Guards and the Thurs ton Rifles fired a salute to the dead! ' Rev. M.

If' only to get a calm assurance which " would kill the terror caused by the public appetite for exposure, 4 fear that the American honor and Integ. rlty Is giving way to a sordid selfishness.

BLUE AND .GRAY MEET (Continued from First Page.) that only the leaders can do; snd If they snirg it ineir.snama is UDSoeaxaoie. . Depends an th Man. ivevertneiess, it remains true that no leader can accomplish tery much unless he has the right kind of men to lead. I'll- less the enlisted man has the right stuil In hltn it stands to reason that no officer can get it out of linn. uecauite it is - not tnere to get out. So In civil life, if all our leaders were wasmngtona ' and l.lncolns they could nevertheless, make no permanent improve ment in our citizenship unless the average ciuzen nau in mm ine capacity lor such Improvement. In the lust analysis It is the man behind the ballot who counts most in civil life, Just as It la me man be hind the gun who counts most in military life. 'e canooV'too highly honor the. memory of the leaders In ,th civil war of Grant on lee, of Sherman and Johnston, of tilunewall Jackson and Sheridan, of Farra gut and of (he .captains who fought under and against him. Jtut, after all, the man upon whom the chief credit tituHt rest waa the plain man In- the ranks, the man in blue or hi gray who went lu lo. see the war through and who did see It'through. He had the courage to standwithnut flinch ing the bickering of the skirmlahes and tli hammering of the great rights, he had the steadfast endurance to bear with uncom plaining resoiut Ion the hunger and the heat and the cold, the scorching days and the freezing nights, the grinding, heart breaking ratigiie. or the marches, the wear I some monotony of the camps and the sins surrorlng of tha field hospitals.

"THERE'S A REASON." HI Jus( ss true In peer now aa It wss forte rive years ago In wsr, that It Is the char acter of the averivce man that must, be the determining fertor In achieving na tional success or going down to national disaster. leadership Is neceeasry In order thst we .may get really good results out of a high average of Individual character, but without the high character In the average Individual the leadership by Itself can avail but little. Responsibility Individual. Now, It Is easy to say this In words which shall imply merely nsttery of tne average voter or of the aVeraae enlisted man. 1 certainly do not Intenu my words to be so laser), it is a sure sign or weskness in Sny man If he is alwas wanting to be flattered, and especially if he lets nis head be turned by flattery. The average voter needs to learn and to keep steadily In mind the fart that If In the last resort the esl rower is his. so In the Isst resort the real responsibility Is his. He cannot cast oft-on anyone else the responsibility .or our governmental shortcomings. Motu ng Is cheaper thsn to ssy thst tne people are all right, but that the politicians are ail wrong. As a matter of fact, politics, and therefore politicians, will In the long run represent laitniuuy eitner tne wisnes or the indlrterenre of the people, and If n peopie are ineinerent tne resuita are ust about as had as if thev deliberately choose to go wrong. So It is with the en listed man. When 1 call attention to the high place he holds, and must ever hold n t ne esteem of every sensible man. I do t less with the Intention of emphasising ne respect oue him hy outsiders than Willi he Intention of maktne- him realise the burden of honorable obligation resting upon nis snouiders. By unwearied effort ne must learn to do his duty, whether thst duty lies afloat or ashore, whether It lies in tha cavalry or the Infantry, In the gun turret or in the engine room. He must he able to handle himself and to handle the formidable and delicate mechanism en trusted to his care in such manner that If ever it becomes his fortune to take part In battle for the flag another page shall be added to the many which go to make up me long nonor roil or American nistory. In closing I ask your attention to the fact that our soldiers and sailors are able to do their duty in great emergencies even other than those of war. Recently the most aiialllng disaster that has ever be fallen any city In our country, the most appalling disaster that has befallen any city of the same else for a century past, befell the great and beautiful city of Ban Francisco. In the midst of their horror and pity and sympathy the rest of our people were rendered proud and glad by the courage, the self-reliance, the aelf command shown by the men and women of San Francisco themselves under the sud den and awful calamity which had be fallen them. We had yet another source of pride in the fact that the first Ameri cans outside the city who were able to extend relief and help were the officers and enlisted men or the garrison and tne snips In the immediate neighborhood of San Francisco. The alertness, the Instant re sponse to the demand made upon them, the mixture of self-reliant Initiative with or derly obedience and coherence of action, the high personal valor and the steady en durance and strength shown by the sol diers and sailors of the regular army and navy In coping with this disaster, were as great as If shown in time of battle. Such a record should make every true American proud of the army and the navy and should make everv true American resoiuie io se that through our national authorities at Washington we make the provision by law for the maintenance, the support and the training nf the urmv and the navv. that they shall ever stand in the forefront of their respective professions. When the president had concluded nia address a procession was formed . to the cemetery adjoining, where he unveiled the beautiful shaft erected by the Army and Navy union.

Upon arriving at Arlington , the exercises first , centered around the' tomb of. the unknown, -where 2,000 federal soldiers are burled, after which the principal ceremonies were con ducted In the amphitheater, where ad dresses,' recitations and' music were heard.

May JO.-In an ad dress to the graduating class of the Ken tucky Wesleyan college yesterday Secre tary Shaw told this parable about the Phlllpplnear ' "If you please, I will represent t'nele Sam for a little while. I have a neighbor thst has caused me trouble for years. One morning I say to my family, I am going across the way and aettle that trouble, and my family says go. I settle the disturbance, but when I eome back I have a little baby In my arms. I wish I had never seen It. "I call my family around' me and say there will be no further trouble, but what am I to do with this baby?' Opinions differ. To keep and educate him seems the only thing to do, and when he la grown we can keep him or atart bim for himself, aa the good God haa not given us all' this for seems best. It will cost us something, but ourselves alone. It will be a wonderful ad vantage for him, and I say, 'All right,' and the first time I take him he begins to yell nd kick and aquall and bile. Spank.
