Gustavug Adolphus threw soldiers Into Germany In the Thirty war and hi genius, generalship and wladoifa achieved the glorious Independence of a I Protestant civilisation from the threatfened subjection under a Latin, South Europtean type of civil and religious life. Moderln history was rescued. Today the Land (of the Midnight Sun la the home of an lntl-lllgent, gentle and gifted people that are otlit of the great race of the military nation erful come XII ( tragio happy s ef Europe. How could the pow- people of Quatavua Adolphus be- the docile nation of today? Charles 7-mS), the celebrated erratlo and warrior, bled Sweden byTila un campalgns, and finally was crushed U7O0) At Pultawa by Peter the Great. Just ars afterwards (1S09) Sweden lost J to Russia. Almost a century from Mb) Norway slipped away from the h scepter and the pacific and learned II acquiesced in the separation with- stroke of his polished sword. The serious and determined king might acted otherwise. Those three national defe iu have hammered down the will of the Swedish people and hence '.'the gentle Swt de" of later history. A nation may suff Lr temporary reverses and still retain Us prowess If victories only some time oorr. s back, but mo years of continuous los must tell, and has told, on the na tion s Ufe. The -re.t weakness of fair 8we. ltn today la Its lack of sturdy will powi r and initiative such as you find la tl loee seml-Celtlc northerners, the rug ged, Iforward and contentious Norwegians. splendid mountain people. While Sweden lost her prestige she turned to tk4 Inner life. The peaceful arts have thrtvell the mote tht last 4) years. Moderkt education the world over knows the SiieeUah "sloyd." or manual training. and the revolution It Is effecting inthe entire school system . of today. There are less Illiterates In Sweden than In our own land. Sweden's literature Is a, mar vel of beauty, as the language Itself Is one of the world's moat expressive, finished and ringing. The lyrical (song) poetry often matches Heine and Shakespeare at their very best You may go among Nha upper .classes or the peasantry, every where the prevailing tone is refined. In this one respect the German falls by com panion, is angular, provocative and In. cllned to resentment. As the Swedes are a nation of fine, well-nigh fad (wehmu tlg) feelings, whatever they do and say tends to have that same spirit. There iJ as much feeling In the Swede as there Is will In the Independent, charactered Nor wegl:in. At the tame time the Swede is a calm and clear thinker. Had the pro found philosopher Bostrom been a German and not a Swede, his gigantic personality-philosophy would have been one of the grand landmarks of thought. But the Swedes are poor at self-advertisement (ex cept In the present general srlkel). In fact, they have been a little too proudly Indolent to make their treasures known and hence Bostrom has remained exclu sively a Swedish figure. If the Swede would exchange some of their refined backwardness for a little of the almost Celtic push and clamor of the Norwegians, the world would be astontuhed at the wealth of Intellectual, spiritual and artistic attainments of the people In that pretty land of the midnight sun. Southern Sweden somewhat resembles Iowa and Illinois plus a certain picturesque northern cast of the landscape. Middle Sweden Inclines to become rugged, es pecially toward Norway. Northern Sweden Is an Irregular foot-hill country worn down by the Norwegian glaciers, and U the most sombre and wild, romantic and mysterious part of the land. There the midnight sun blazes all through the night of early summer, a sight of gorgeous, yet calm aplendor. Farthest north you have bald hllla and bogs like in Finland and Russia. Of the ten Eurupeann capitals I have seen, Stockholm has the most glorious situation, Berne of the Swiss Alps alone contending with the northern metropolis. Situated on Islands and ragged, rocky shores of the world-famous "spaergord" ) (skerry walls) of Stockholm in that strangely luminous atmosphere of northern land that seems like a prism, Stockholm Is a city of Indescribable loveliness. Not so much the civic works as the location astitilshed and pleased me beyond telling. Sweden la not a wealthy land, consider able of Its natural -esources are, though, underworked, and too often In the hands of foreigners. Its cities evidence the fact. You will not seek Berlin's civic pomp here. But If you love pleasing effects, homey, cheery, fresh and bright sights and a population that knows how to enjoy life In a prevailingly cultured and hearty man ner, then look to the luminous cupltal of the north, beautiful Stockholm. Would this city command the wealth of London or Paris,' those strategically beautiful Is lets and shores would offer the finest op portunity for architectural magnificence and Janscape architecture of perhaps any capital in Europe. But the Swedes nre not now a commerlcal people, do not love money for money's sake as we Americans, though they are faithfully Industrious and poNsessed of actual genius for mechanical engineering of every kind. (Our John Erickson of "Monitor and Merrimac" fame was trained in Sweden. Swedish civil and mechanical engineers are found all over America and the world). Therefore Stockholm can hardly become Just such a. show place as Berlin. Its palace Is a plain, but quite majestic structure. Perhaps the finest new building is the superb "Nor dlska museet" (Northern museum). In a sort of Swedish Rococo style of arch itectureas atrlklng a piece of work as the similar German Rococo "Rathhaus" of Liepzlg. And what a stroke of genius the conception of h1s museum and Its open air consort. "Skanseii," out ou a most captivating peninsula, formerly a royal park. In the museum all the provinces of Sweden are represented in, different rooms. This is the pea Hunt department. In upper stories there comes a chronological display from the middle and higher classes. Here you can see how the people lived In their homes, the furniture, the clothes, the utensils, and the national costumes on fairly good wax figures. Out on the rocky, woody "Skansrn," Sweden's folk games and folk dances are given every day by experts. Characteristic pe.rsant cottages have been brought In from all over the land. Home pleasantry and folk music are offered In these, while national amuse ments, such as the "Maypole" are engaged in out of doors during the proper season. Folk life addresses and lectures, folk con certs. Instruction in questions of import ance to home and church and state any thing that tends to waken the national sense or to reimburse the national con sciousnes finds artistic and scientific treatment. It la an open air ethnological exhibition and university in real life and for Sweden's cutiunoi, peuple especially. The patriotic and educational value of this unique Institution h.ss been. is. and will be Immense. Nothing in all Snedt.n In terested me quite as much, hardly the surging green Trollhattan falls, or the long and narrow ihaisn-luke of Fryken. or Gustaf Vaea's realms in far north Dalarne. Even my cathedral enthusiasm, satisfied so thoroughly at that aublimest church of Sweden, the cathedral of Lund, or at the larger restored Gothic temple of Upsala. almost yielded to the prophetic "Skansen." Seeden Is coming to her old self again, I hope, even If first through more agony and a deeper crisis, what and when; only the God cf history knows. She has had too much of the French for IIS years, too little of her native sturdy Swedish. Remarkable, though, how exceptionally flno her develop ment has been. If we except the American, British and Scandinavian liquor evil and the too prevalent habit of cursing. There are 2,000,000 Swedes and Swedish-Americans in the United States. If the legal frater nity should depend on these for their ex perience" at the bar and for Income U(o lawyer's profession would be no attraction. The criminal history of our land has a com paratively brief story to tell so far of the misdeeds of Swedes and their descendants. There must, therefore, have been some splendid training over In the good land of Sweden to make such results possible. The Lutheran church of the country, whatever her numerous faults, )as deeply Influenced the Inner life of the people. Jt has often stood for high Ideals, all things consid ered. Sweden's rulers have generally been men of manly motives, not always great men, but kindly and fatherly toward the people. Moreover, the Swiles are not a passionate nation of extreme tendencies, but harmony loving. They might, In a nay, be called the Greeks of the north, so calm and contemplative are they and warm of sentiment without thu white heat of peoples with a more pronounced will. Where but In Sweden could a general strike be carried on In all lines of Industry so peacefully, with a royal order forbidding the s-ale of Intoxicants, and that manifesto almost be coming the new platform of the labor unions themselves? A week ago the strik ers threatened to boycott the Stockholm sa loons climax of labor union humor! Next to Stockholm I think that the most characteristic single number for the tourist is the famous trip on the Gotha canal from Gothenburg to Stockholm, or Its best part, from Stockholm to Jonkoping, the city on Lake Vettern with Naples-like sur roundings. You go clean across the coun try from the southwest to the capital on the Baltic, midway up the east coast. Over the plains, through the large lake of Ven em, again on the Ostgotha plain, then Into tho crystal clear, easily stormy ,Luke Vet tern, over hill districts and peaceful lake lit . Into the Skaersord of Stockholm the entire ay teems with Interest of a placid and often amazingly lovely order. No Eu ropean Journey excels this tour In Its own line. It is not the Norwegian grandeur, but the pleasing, winsome, fair Swedish type of scenery you get on this ca"fral. Sweden's s.enery ha its counterpart In Sweden's men and women of genius. Not grandly wild and awesome as the Norwegian fie'ids and Norway's Ibsen, but beautiful In the Greek sense of fine har mony, calm contemplation, a very soul ful and spiritual profundity. Few peuple of the world have been so innately re ligious as the Swedes. True, the country Is since some fifteen years in the midst of a serious Intellectual, social and relig ious crisis. Young Saeden, whatever its hot aspirations may be, falls far behind the Immediately preceding generation, the men and women over 20 years of age. The German socialistic Ideas have tem porarily crazed and bewildered the funda mentally moderate and thoughtful Swede. There ate grievous reason for social un rest inherited from the past. Wages have till lately been low. The poor a ere obliged to hold their cap in hand ab jectly to their euperlors. Sweden's most unprofitable capital has for two centuries been, not Its excellent common people, but Its laiy, too much pleasure-loving men of business and gentry. The state church question also of late agitates many, as all over Europe In Protestant or Roman or Greek countries. A state church Is from now on an anachronism, whatever Us un doubted services In former ages and these are very considerable when studied his torically. The norpially kind Swedish mind Is at present In a flutter. There is an anxious feeling in men's hearts, and a grim look on the faces of some radicals. Sweden must come back to her old fear less sturdlness, is my deep conviction. Tliut alono will solve the problem. The courage, manliness, self-sacrifice, kernelly mentality of the times of Gustavus Adol phus must return. To her old-time beauti ful contemplation and nobility of purpose, unparallellcd hospitality, almost spiritual seriousness and honesty, still with hot in a nilldened decree, must cume more determination to dure and to do, to battle In deed as well as word. She needs no less refinement and no less spiritual sincer ity, but she must acquire boluness to act quickly and w Isely in a cris;s ond to hit hard when necessary. It will not harm her, if she adds to her sensitiveness, courtesy and regaid, the German and Nor wegian emphasis to convictions' and accent to the deeds. In many pelnts she has no superior in Europe, particularly In Inner fineness of mind and rather unmaterlalis tlc view of life. Scholarship and culture stand In higher repute there than In our own laud almost. She has had and hsu men and women of towering excellence. Linne was hers, our Johu Erlvsun too. Jenny Llnd and Christine Nelson were her daughters. Great philosophers like Geljer and Bostrom have taught her thinking men. Eminent poets as the soaring Ideal ist Tegner (Longfellow translated his "Children of the Lord's Supper quite meritoriously) and thai national bard, Sweden's Schiller, Runeberg, and other lyric and epic poets of exquisite genius sang In her realm. As we may expect, she has no eminent dramatist; her mind Is lyrical and epic. All probabilities point toward the granting of the next Nobel literary prize to her now world-known novelist. Selma Lagerlof. The most cul tured monarch of his time was the late venerable, Oscar II. I can name only a few of her mighty ones. There has for genera tions been an abundance of rich personali ties within her borders. When a powerful impetus la once given to tl.e Swedish will, Sweden can yet again take her rank among tiie most influential of nations. It rests with her to waken and focus her really superb, but scattered energies ii. a few momentous and actualized convictions of heart and mind and life. Will she? She can. If she will! Sweden is a land of many charms, a very haven of restful pleasures. And, oh, the self-sacrificing hospitality of Its cheer ful homes! To the thoughtful tourist there Is a strange mysticism In nature and In man there, not of the gigantic, Ibsenesque Norwegian type, but of the heart of things, a land of song sad songs, where the fireside tale that la told receives a touch from mystical realms of blissful loveliness. a land of poets, singers and fruitful thinkers. There dwells a people once In the first ranks of Europe, at present in use ful, retired quietness, but capable, under God, of throwing lis many wonderous gifts again Into the greater current,of universal life, on the one condition of unequivocal return to Its own fine genius.

EXPAND AR-SAR-BEN'S SCOPE Penfold Advocates Keorganization with $50,009 Capital Stock. PROPOSES TO ISSUE BONDS, TG0 Wnnts an Exposition Combining Best Elements of l.nrgr Shuns to Ron Two Weeks Instead of Ten Days. In the wake of the AU-Snr-nen cclehrsV thin, active minds are busy with plans fot next year and for the years to come. "Boost for Omaha" Is the slogan of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Uen and this motto will prompt the men behind the fall festival to strive for a greater, a bigger and more attractive celebration next year. One of the first moves of the Knights probably will be to re-Incorporate the com pany. This Is the dream of II. J. Penfold, ' secretary. At the next meeting of the organization he will preucnt a plan to In crease the capitalization from $i;.000, the present figures, to JOO.OOO and possibly to J100.000. With the organization on a gilt-edged financial basis and with-every assurance of pecuniary success in future years, Mr. Penfold believes that 6 per cent Interest bearing bonds may be issued to stock holders... Make a Big; Exposition. "There Is no reason," as Mr. Penfold, why Ak-Sar-Ben carnhal could not be '' transformed Into an Ak-Sar-Ben exposi tion, far greater In scope than the present celebration. It Is my dream now Just a filmy vision of the future but I believe the dream will be realized. "I want to see the Ak-Sar-Ben exposi tion a combination of the famous Mardl Gras of the sunny southland, the Wild West celebration of Cheyenne and the gaytty equaled nowhere In the orld of New York's Coney Isle "The celebration should be doubled. We should have a two-weeks' frolic of fun. The people do not tire of Ak-Sar-Ben. With a fortnight's carnival we would he enabled to secure the banner attractions of the world, which today cannot afford t tarry In a city for ten days. Today we get the floaters the traveling shows whlut live transient lives. We want the big as tractions of America, Coney Island and the old world. "Omaha and the state of Nebrr.ai.a reap the benefits of Ak-Sar-Ben's efforls. The call of the boosters will be answered and I sm confident next year's celebration will eclipse any festival of the past." Although complete figures are not In It Is estimated the net earnings from this year's fete will exceed t0,0O0. Thursday night, with practically all contracts with tho amusement companies settled, theie was a balance in the treasury of $!i,39t.M.
