Omaha: As Viewed by a
Vacationist Before Hot Spell
Af tar spending two vacations In Lin
coln, I want this year to Omaha, the me
tropolis. (I hope that thla will not be used
as an argument to prove that Lincoln la
loalnc customers). I wlahed to see Omaha
In (rose and In detail, aa my previous
visits, 'except one at the time of the
Tranamlaalnklppl exposition, were rather
fragmentary. It may seem queer to the
denlien of a city to seek It on a holiday,
but consider a moment. For one living In
a email place, particularly one who was
city bred. It has many attractions. It
atlrs one's blood to (et back Into the whirl
of life. Cdmlng from the qutetness of a
country town, with Its comparative ata
natlon, one feels a thrill of new life and
ambition to hear the ding or tne street car,
the bonk of the automobile, the cry of
the cewiboy, and the whlatle of the fac
tory. And then the movement on the
atreeta, the rueh of traffic, (somewhat
confusing III admit) open one's mind to
a comprehension of the Immensity of mod
rn enterprise. '
Of course Omaha baa been aomewhat
malignly advertised, it seems to me, by
reform sealota. If there la a red-light dis
trict I didn't aee It. I aaw laloona, but 1
naa brought up In a city of aaloous, Vrovi
lenoe, WL I., and I have lived among tliaiu
during the time of my college activity. I
Juat pasted them by. However, I did not
aee a drunken man on the atreeta of
Omaha, although I was at all times keenly
obaervant. I aaw that moving picture
shows and a. shooting gallery wars In op
eration on Sunday, and I aaw care laden
a 1th passengers, apparently beaded for the
ball park, but otherwise the Sabbath was
passed quietly and In an orderly fashion.
There were at least no visible horns on
the beads of oertaln prominent cltlsens of
Omaha, whom I bad the pleasure of meet
ing.
"For Omaha" is a prominent oharacter
lstlo of her oltlsena. Thla seal is highly
commendable and may well be imitated.
Of course It can be carried too far, and
It always la by some persons. But that's

human nature. However, I found a broad
ness of view entertained by many Omahans,
that is unfortunately lacking In some
placea. Even with regard to Lincoln, her
supposed rival, a gentleman who Is believed
to entertain other vlewa, aald to me: "Why!
we want to see Lincoln grow. This state
Is big enough for two large cities." That's
the right spirit. Certainly all Nebraakans
must be for Nebraska, and then for the
United States; and In a wider sense for tho
world. Duties and obllgatlona of loyalty
are particular and general.
The dweller In the modern city and the
visitor are very fortunate, not only In be
ing able to use the very helpful conven
iences of our time, but In having provided
for them by thoughtful city fathers a veri
table fairyland of parka, boulevards, water
ing resorts and other places of amusement,
while wealth has added the tennis court,
the golf links and private luxurloua forms
of entertainment. Omaha la no exception.
Its Hanscom park, Bemls park, Klverview
park, Lake Nakoma, Cut-Off lake, boule
vards that traverse the city almost com
pletely and connect the parks, a prime ne
cessity In the horseless age, are beautiful
beyond description; and a tramway ride
or an automobile trip bring them within of Omah
easy reach.
Omaha Is wise In securing these breath
ing places and avenues so early In his
history; early T what was Omaha but
of Its women. I would not have our women
carry burdens, as I have seen women do In
Germany, or work In the harvest fields
(farmers' wives and daughters exoepted on
occasions); but I would have them play
tennis and golf more, row more (I used to
see Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Oilman of na
tional literary fame row In Rhode Island),
and play hockey in season and attend to
flower , gardens and rake lawns In Maud
Muller fashion (the Judge would not turn
his back, perhaps, on a blue-blooded Maud
Muller).
In the ohurchea of Omaha, which are ele
gant without being showy, I found earnest,
conscientious preachers and flue choirs and
good musicians I was particularly pleased
to find a spirit of co-operation and federa
tion In that. In the heated term, several
churches of different denominations com
bined and so had a full enthusiastic serv
ice. I attended a prayer meeting In the
First Congregational church, where delega
tions from seven different Congregational
churches sat under their respective stand
ards, with names of church Inscribed
thereon, and it was an occasion never to
be forgotten. One's pulse beat fast at the
sight of such brotherly unity. The fine en
gravlngs on the walls of the chapel, I was
Informed, belong to the Woman's olub ot
Omaha, which holds Its meetings there, but
they were in no sense Incongruous. Aiding
the work of the churches and a safe refuge
for travelers towers the grand Toung Men's
Christian association building, a btrlkliig
testimony to the generosity and good sense
business men.
thirty years ago? Omaha la also wise. It
seems te me, In confining ber tramways
to a few streets, thus keeping the residence
portion of the city free from rather dis
turbing noiae. I noticed In one park at
least that tired men were allowed to re
cline, undisturbed by the polios, upon the
grass. How sensible and humanitarian! I
reoall once seeling the police run off ex
hausted human beings , from Boston's
"oommon." Omaha's attitude also during
this heated term toward those who seek
the parks at night Is very merciful. I have
always argued with regard to my own
front lawn (somewhat worn by active feet)
that I would rather raise children than
grass. The same Is true ot cltlsens.
How my tennis blood (I contended In a
stats championship In Omaha In 1W1 and
still play) stirred as I watched the elty
game at the Field club with Its seven
fins courts Is With what enthusiasm did I
follow as a gallery, over the beautiful golf
links of the Country clubl At Happy
Hollow the mention of the fact that I
was a member of the Crete Golf olub se
cured iv. .o'-.Uui s treatment and the
opportunity to play on two oocaslons on
that "sporty" course. That base ball for
those Inclined should be provided tor at
the Omaha olub was a new feature to me.
So far aa I observed on the Omaha golf
links gentlemen play golf without the
gambling features I have noticed In some
other places.
I carefully studied human nature, as Is
my wont, aa I rode hero and there and
walked upon the streets; and I can say
that I believe Omahans are a strong,
healthy stock, perhaps applying this mora
to ttyt men than to the women. I feel that
the women are not athletto enough; they
are too content to sit In automobiles and
on porches, and a too absorbing diversion
consists in dinners and other social events.
Thla la true of American women In othrr
cities, I'll admit I believe It is a great
mistake. Germany's streatn lies, in my
efll&loo, la laris mcasuxs la tbs susogth
In the matter of schools I could not but
notice the three or four commercial col-
I leges that show that Omaha meana busi
ness, but of course there are also Crelghton
university, the Presbyterian seminary,
Brownell Hall and the proposed University
of Omaha that will look out for the hu
manities and the cultural studies, while
the movement to upbuild the medical de
partment of the University of Nebraska in
Omaha will redound to the benefit of both
Omaha and the university, for the hospital
facilities are unsurpassed. And to supple
ment and augment this work stands the
splendid publlo library, with Its large col
lection of volumes and Its valuable mu
seum. The Linlnger Art gallery and the
art stores contribute also their shars toward
the elevation and refinement .of the fortu
nate Omahana. The attitude of The Omaha
Pee and other newspapers toward educa
tlonal Interests Is surely worthy of unquali
fied approval.
Aa I turn now to the homes of Omaha.
I am moved to say, that, while there are
not many palatial residences In the New
port sense, the houses are very attrac
tive and Indicate good taste, a desire for
comfort, an effort to secure as much land
as possible for lawns snd gardens with a
tendency to build In the suburbs that are
so near the city In the age of the automo
bile. One la Impressed with the great num
ber of automobilea for pleasure and busi
ness. It Omaha Is not the automobile city.
par excellence, a distinction which some
people claim for Denver, it surely cannot
be far behind. And then the publlo homes,
so to speak, the hotels, are undeniably
famous and make It possible for Omaha
to entertain the attendants on the numer
out conventions and meetings that Omaha's
business scouts are very successful in se
curing. Of course, the building of the
large auditorium was a move in the same
direction.
Omaha pulses with the throb of great
enterprise. One feels It on the street and
as one visits the stores, manufactories,
warehouses, elevators and the stockyards
In South Omaha. Why should there be a
"south." If an Omahan has started to the
south sad has gruwu vn t4 Uis larger
town, why does it not become one with It? '
I know that this Is a local question and
an outsldber may bs .considered to be Im
pertinent to obtrude an opinion; but, if
Omaha would fain compete with Kansas
City, Minneapolis, St. Louis and Chloago,
It Is for the Interest of any and every
part ot Nebraska to help her to do so. As
Omaha grows, Nebraska also grows in all
parts. The pulse-beat Is strong and
healthy in Omaha. It Is not booming; It
is growing and developing fast; and the
Brandeis theater, the City National bank,
the Cudahy building, the Modern Woodman
structure and others all point toward a
mighty onward movement. Omaha is for
tunate In possessing the Missouri for a
drain, and In having the car shops and
manufactories down on the flats away
from the heart of the city so that It Is not
particularly smoky.
Great enterprise has been required to
level the hills and reduce the grades so
as to make space for business, which does
not climb hills; but what elevations re
main are delightful for homes and give
opportunity for wide outlooks that are awe
inspiring, and that make Omaha a com
paratively cool city, (heated spells, of
course, excepted).
Upon the suggestion of an Omahan I take
the liberty of ,maklng a few suggestions,
not in any sense clrtlclsms, for that Is not
my purpoee.
Tho street signs should bs renewed and
many more put up, so that strangers
would find It unnecessary to aK so many
questions about lacalltlea. The traction
company could with profit have a man at
the corner of Sixteenth and Farnoin streets
to answer questions about the lines of
cara In tact, the Commercial club might
well establish on a prominent corner a
small bureau of Information for the en
lightenment ot travelers and business men.
It might bs furnished with circulars, busi
ness cards, maps, pictures and be made
to pay nearly or quite, by the sals of re
freshments and souvenirs.
There should be, as in European cities,
rest rooms and places of convenience.
The Young Men's Christian association
might well establish one or more branches
In the poorer parts of the city, where
everything, rent ot rooms, privilege of
membership, etc., could be on a much
reduced scale, and thus meet the criticism
that the Young Men's Christian associa
tion is for the well-to-do. Several reading
rooms In different parts of the city would
thus be managed. This takes money, but
It Is something that can be looked for
ward to.
The good roads movement should be en
couraged; aa Colonel Loans said for Crete
and General Mandursou has reoently aald
for Lincoln, so I presume to say for
Omaha, excellent roads should radiate
from Omaha, but I would also advise
Omaha capital to push the interurbans.
The automobile and the good road are all
right for the rich, but the poor man's auto
mobile, the tramway and the lnterurban,
should also be provided for, both for his
comfort and as a matter of busineaa.
It would seem to me that the express
companies might profitably have better
station facilities; that the wholesale fruit
and vegetable market might be carried ou
with greater advantage If larger and more
aanltary quartets could be secured.
Omaha should be still more active in Its
fight against the billboard nuisance and
Join Cleveland, St. Louis, Pittsburg, Buf
falo snd other cities.
Tne churchej might profitably plaoe no
tices of their services In hotels and make
greater use ot the newspapers and em
ploy the electric light, modestly, but in a
way to compete on fair terms with busi
ness Louses and pias ot awusstueut, &ua
day night In Omaha' Is too bright In one
respeot and too dark In the other.
In closing. I would say that Nebraska
wishes Omaha well. As Illinois has Us
Chicago, and Missouri Its St. Louis, and
Colorado Its Denver, so are we proud of
our Omaha, "the Gate City," "Market
Town," whose motto Is
To build up, not to destroy,
To aid, not to Injure,
To act, not to boast.
En avant, Omaha; and may God speed
the day of a greater and nobler Omaha.

OUR ARMY OF MAGICIANS
Mla;ht Well Be TTtlllsed In Dissipat
ing; Some Common Super
stitions. The astonishing fact was divulged at the
dinner of the Society ot American Magi
cians In New York that there are 20,000 of
those wonderfully gifted fellows in this
country, men who can pick gold coins out
of the thin sir, pull a ton or two of dress
goods, a gross of American flags and a
live pig out of a casual silk hat, palm llvo
goldfish and hatch handkerchiefs out of
hens' eggs. Twenty thousand experts In
th-s art of mystifying their fellow men.
w hose dexterity, Invariably accompanied by
pleasing eonverratlonal gifts, Is employed
only for diversion. No feat of the spiritual
ists, hypnotists, clairvoyants or so-called
healtrs Is more remsrkable thsn the tricks
these fellows can play oo the vision and
lrraglnatlon of a roomful of normal human
beings.
The gravest troubles the French govern
ment enoountered In its early efforts to
pacify Algiers were caused by the Influence
of the native magicians. The experiment
of sending Robert Houdin and his son, both
expert conjurers, to show the Algerians
how much mors astonishing the repertoire
of acknowledged trickery was than the
mysteries they have been acaustomed to,
proved very successful. It seems that our
army of professional mystlflers might be
employed to the same purpose among the
unenlightened dupes of the charlatans who
Infest this country.
Wherever a pretentious Imposter claiming
occult powers is gulling the people a free
exhibition of the same sort of thing, con
fessedly produced by acquired skill, would
have a wholesome effect. Thla Is no Joke.
Our 20,000 magicians might well be em
ployed to educate the masses and lift them
out of the rut of superstition. New York

"The Montana Limited" at the Kraft-.
A play that Is different opened at the
Krug last night to play the rest of the
week. "The Montana Limited," In spite of
harrowing billboard announcements and
overly-mellow melodrama, has much In Its
makeup to place It above the ordinary
western melodrama. In fact. It Is so good
that it made a hit with a big audience at
the first performance without depending
upon musical numbers or specialties lo
make It "go."
Twin brother and the situations and pos
sibilities afforded for the drama by ono
being a desperate outlaw, while the Char
Is a manly cowboy In love with a belle of
the buttes, form the foundation of the
story. A daring train holdup enacted on the
stage and the sheriff's efforts to capture
the road agents, also tender love passages
and Intermingled comedy ot a winning
sort, tend to balanoe the piece and give it
the air of realistio westernlsm which both
gallery and parquet are restless to ap
plaud. But the production's real merit lies In
the fact that although melodramatic, there
is something more to it than mere powder
smoke, buckskin chaps, skulking lmllans,
treacherous "greasera" and gun-totlng cow
boy girls. There Is a sheriff, for lnstanco.
whose part Is played by Ezra C. Wa'ck.
The latter, every bit as stout as Maclyn
Arbuckle In "The Roundup," seems more
than a mere manhuntor In his rols and
gives to the play that human touch so
often missing In melodrama. Mr. Walck
scored a real success In depicting a type
made popular by Mr. Arbuckio.
Friends of Miss Oretchen Slim man, th?
leading woman, who was an Omaht kIi 1
until she adopted the stage for uer career,
gave her a hearty reception. She la the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George 8. Bonce
and was a graduate from the Omaha High
school eight years ago.
As the twin brothers, Frederick Eckhirdt
successfully handles a duel role In which
there Is plenty of chance for clever wprk.
He changes his entire makeup a number
of times and for a while the double per
sonality In the play keeps the audience
guessing as to the plot, while Mr.' Eckhardt
nevertheless manages to distinguish Hie
two characters In his playing.
Others In the company, too numerous to
mention, also prove satisfactory in their
parts, and Bennle May anter-vns with the
only specialty Interpolated during the per- (
