There is l lot of Nebraska history ln it and re iroductlons in facsimile of several interesting documents. Forty Yean. Today marks the completion of forty years of The Pee, and tomorrow, June 19, 1J11, will be the fortieth an niversary of the birth of The Bee. The occasion has been taken to war rant us devoting a section of this Issue to telling over again the remarkable story of The Bee and bringing up to date and dwelling upon the successive stages of Its growth from a imall sheet distributed free like a theater program to the present metropolitan newspaper comparable with the leading newspa pers of the country. The story of The Bee for these forty years is akin to a romance and a mira cle In one. Starting' from nothing, for a third of a century The Bee was the reflection of the manifold activities of its founder and editor, who infused into It his own restless energy and un yielding devotion to the principle of integrity lo official and private life and stamped it with his Idea of uncom promising fidelity to the publie welfare and the service of the people. To be tru to these high Ideals and to pursue courageously the policies adopted and adhered to from the beginning is the purpose of The Bee. , Now, as In the past, the strength of The Bee has rested upon the confi dence of the people. As a newspaper it is tied down by no corporation strings, but la free to battle for Justice and right, untrammeled by corporate 'influences, undismayed by threats and unawed by povrer. , The demands for redress of grievances for the oppressed and the righting of wrongs against the poor have always found voice through The Bee, which has been preaching the square deal for high and low, rich and poor, irrespective of race, color or creed, day in and day out for forty ywrs. As it has said before on another similar occasion, the best assurance for the future is the record of the past. For an Individual, the turning of forty years in most cases signals a life more than half run, but for a newspaper firmly established as a permanent in stitution in a growing community like Omaha, forty years may be but its in fancy. The Bee promises only to be J true to Its principles, to be faithful to the real Interests of the people, to be ceMeleM ln promotlng th mor'al and material welfare of the city, state and nation, hoping thereby to retain and .deserve the fullest confidence and support of the public. - A Better Day for Ireland. The .population of Ireland seventy years ago was 8,000,000. Fifty years ago it was 6,000,000. According to the late census, that of 1911, it is 4,381,961. Readily one jumps to the conclusion that Ireland is steadily los ing ln population. It is not. It is gaining. And that, you say, is. an uiuj, . , n. own Uo iamine visitea ireiana, ana tnis vita emigration reaucea tne popular fton, o that by the tim .ottilvll waf broke tout It was down' to ;000,00OV and thousands of those) sturdy sons of Erin enlisted .under the Stars and stripes to fight cr the principle of human liberty, so dear to their native heart I i ThA at r a Am a nf . Atnts-rnHAn nnn- tinued to pour out. carrying to other hands on an average of 250,000 Irish- men every ten years for a long period. But at last the tide has been turned. In the last decade, since 1901, the loss has been only 76,824, insignificant as compared with -the losses of former decades. The Irishmen are not leav ing their native, land as they once did. And what has brought about the change? Conditions are more invit ing at home. It Is easier to make a living in Ireland,' with a chance for a future competency. The burden of English landlordism has been light ened and oppression in many forms removed. Ireland, to be sure, has not yet at tained home rule, but she is on the way to it, and it is her own native champions of her rights ln Parliament and at home who have brought this measure of relief and enforced conces sion from England. They will not stop there. The crux of the 'fight Is over. The rest will be easier and it will be a great day for the world when 'u, nom u, doe8 eon these pa tlent, patriotic people. Training Railroad Employes. The JJnlon Pacific has set a good example to other railroads in the crea tion of its training school for em ployes, and already the Illinois Cen tral has taken up the idea. As one of the official heads of the Illinois Cen tral, Vice President W. L. Park, hav ing been a Union Pacific man for so long, naturally was able to appreciate the worth of an example set by the Overland. The system of this education is threefold. It seeks to train employes so as to promote efficient service ln all branches of work; prepare them for higher and more responsible positions and Instruct others seeking to enter the railroad employment in the rudl- ; ments. Of course, it stands to reason that the results are profitable to the railroad or the school would not be maintained. But they are also nrofits.- bl to the general public, which has suffered so much in defective service and the hazard of travel from a lack of efficient employes among other causes. It is reported that more-than one- eignm or an tne employes of the . . . . .. . Union Pacific are taking this course of i study, . although it is optional with each whether he shall take it or not That fact speaks ln loudest praise of the system, for it tends in Itself to promote mutual interest between em ploye and employer and makes for a i better service. But the probabilities are that very soon this percentage will be much Increased. By the time the system has had an opportunity to work out Its advantages and the "students" of the training school be gin to fall Into better positions others will see the benefit In It and refuse to stay out. Of course, the maintenance of such departments as this costs money, and a large amount of money, so that It speaks well for the spirit back of it, the spirit animating the railroad to help Itself by helping Its employes to become better fitted for Its service. ' For Omaha and Nebraska. In celebrating its fortieth birthday anniversary It Is not out of place for The Bee to call attention to the extent to which It has been a factor ln the upbuilding of Omaha and Nebraska. Although The Bee has achieved a na tional reputation and Its Influence is felt far and wide, it recognizes that the first claim upon it belongs to the city and state In which it is published. Thof- familiar with The Bee from Its fiiL., :rpearance know that public spirit lias always been one of Its dis tinguishing traits. The Bee has never ceased to labor for the advancement of every Interest and every enterprise that promised Increased prosperity to the great west, and more especially to Omaha; and Nebraska, and as Its own name and fame expanded its efforts have become more far-reaching and effective. In drawing attention to the undeveloped resources of the west and attracting Immigration and capital to the unpeopled territory upon whose settlement depended, and still depends. Omaha's growth and future greatness, The Bee has done as much, if not more, than any other single agency. In Omaha It has advocated and edu cated popular sentiment to the, public Improvements necessary for the ma terial foundation of a great metropolis and steadfastly sought to Inculcate civic pride, without which no city can hold its own in the procession. A service no less valuable has been ren dered ln sounding the alarm and head ing off schemes of spoliation and Job bery, stopping corruption, graft and reckless extravagance ln public office and forcing the great aggregations of corporate wealth to bear more nearly their share of the burdens of govern ment In the form of taxes. The Bee has in Its time saved the people mil lions "of dollars that would have been filched by boodling public works con tractors and grasping speculators in public service franchises, to say noth ing of the additional millions of dol lars that will be brought into the treasury as a consequence of Its per sistent and successful fights for fairer assessments of railway and franchlsed corpbration propertyt and particularly for the taxation of railway terminals for municipal purpose. -.? t.. -...! What The Bee, itself, as an institu ilon contributes to Omaha is faintly realised by few, but t$e loss would be felt by-many were' it; such an enter prise that could "be picke4 up bodily ana moved over night to another cltv Over ,20.0 amlllea, draw their, support through, employment on The Bee, and the average of wages "paid is, roughly speaking, 60, peri cent higher than in most of our large mercantile establish menu., were It not for The RM wouiu ii oi possess tne mag nificent Bee building. Taxes paid by The Bee, and its allied building com pany, place it among the heaviest tax payers in the community. Yet,'lf we may be allowed to repeat. not in constructing great buildings, T1 tntn Inln n 1 , . "iiumuj, large numDers or em ployes, nor in paying taxes, should the Bee s contribution to Omaha and Ne- Draska be measured. Its moBt inval uable contribution is the moral force which It exerts and the reputation which it has established, and main tained for years, as an advocate of so cial, commercial and political Inter rlty and the highest ideal of honest self-government. Courting: the Gallery Gods. nonlAl V.AV ... ... r i uuiiiuu win noi nna any serious obstacle to his plan of lower ing the price of drama, even if it does bring back the "gallery sjod" to hta former popularity. Indeed, that is the prime purpose of Mr. Frohman's plan, High-grade drama has lost the man in the gallery largely because he has not had the prlcet to pay for the seats un there, He has been attending vaude ville and variety theaters instead Now Mr. Frohman DroDosea to invito him back to his playhouses by making box office Inducements. The public, as a rule, is very patient with the theater man. It has allowed mm 10 cnarge aoout whatever he pleased and he has sometimes pleased to charge unreasonable high prices for some of his productions. No one can safely argue that the character of the average piay Has Improved ln late years any, more than has its cost of production Increased. On the other hand, the general run of "shows" is much below what it once was, while the prices are higher on the whole. It Is a good thing that the theater-goers nave taken the matter In hand and taught their own lesson to the theater manager, who has been getting rich without, ln very many cases, giving vaiue received Tor his money. n . . wuidv. 9uj price set upon amusement or serious entertainment at a playhouse would have to be arbi trary, but nevertheless there is a limit even to arbitrariness. The cheaper priced houses have done much to im press this on the "high-grade" thea ters, too. And the way people have flocked from one to the other proves rather well th force of the argument mat the price cuts quite as much usur. wun mem as the play. Some folks simply will go to the theater. which Is often a mlghtly good thing, and as the average patron Is the aver age man, he is going to fit the play to his purse. If the vaudeville andl variety have helped Mr. Frohman to see this it Is well, indeed. More Molehill Than Mountain. For the exposure of corruption or extravagance in the State department the congressional committee investi gating its expenditures would be en titled to credit, but It seems to us that it Is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill ln playing the variations on that $2,450 voucher for money ex pended by direction of Secretary Hay because it fails to enumerate the specific Items. We know nothing about the uses to which this money was put, but we do know the unblemished character of the late John Hay, and we also know William H. Michael, to whom the voucher was made out, and we are not willing to believe without . evidence that the money was used ln any way that it should not be 'used. Mr. Michael's appointment as chief clerk of the State department was charged to Nebraska, He is a Nebraska man who had previously been chief, clerk of the senate committee presided over by Senator Manderson. He later was delegated to compile the congressional directory and he is now the American consul general at Calcutta. He is a union veteran and in all his numerous official positions has discharged duties Involving responsibility and trust Knowing the men concerned, the explanation already given of the 12,450 voucher ought to be sufficient. namely, that the money was drawn in lump sum, part of It going to pay an artist for a portrait of the secretary and the rest being applied on other claims that had official approval. It is quite easily understandable that the secretary of state might have certain disbursements to ma,ke for services rendered in a confidential relation that could not be had at all if the recipient had to swear to a voucher in his own name, specifying the kind of service rendered. It is safe to assume that every foreign office of every other gov ernment, and most of the foreign am bassadors or ministers at Washington, have a secret fund at their disposal for emergency use in procuring neces sary service or desirable information The one thing that seems to Justify the committee's curiosity is the ap parent effort of the present State de partment officials to cover up the ac count or to lose the voucher, Instead of standing on the record Just as it is. Fighting Fake Eefonn. A fake reform is a formidable foe when Intrenched behind the, breast works of popular sentiment, one of the most formidable a newspaper has- to meet It is difficult to-attack it with out being accused of attacking the principle. lor .which it pretends to stand, with which jit has disguised and Is ; fortifying itself. ; The : scheme might be ever so palpable a fraud, but if it has succeeded ln panning itself off on any considerable number of peo ple under the name of reform, the power that attacks it,, however honest and sincere, must expect to bring down upon its own head the wrath of those who have been deceived by the fakirs, for a time at least. A good many papers choose the course of least resistance under .such circumstances, and either say nothing about the fake or fall half-heartedly Into the current of popular approval ln order to escape the penalty of ex posing and opposing it Others, car ing less for present appearances than the ultimate truth, and believing that in tne ena the people will see the truth, turn the searchlight full upon the fraud and do their best to show it up in Its true character. ' The newspaper, though, that has the courage of its convictions usually comes out ahead and ln the meantime does a valued service to the nubile. whether the public ever fully appre ciates it or not. Without fearless newspapers the public would be gulled more than it is. According to Mr. - Bryan's Com moner, one explanation of the fall down of free wool ln the democratic house caucus is that it would hurt uovernor Harmon's chances. Here's another idea. Perhaps the hoD of hurting Governor Harmon's chance is one of the prongs spurring on the in sistent demand of a certain di- Ungulshed democrat that free wool be put on the program. Had he only been certain of mus tering a two-thirds vote in the senate, the president might have negotiated reciprocity with Canada as a treaty, suDjeci to senate ratification and avoided all this turmoil ln the house But then an enra session of the sen ate alone would not have been nearly so picturesque. - I Mr. Bryan resents the charge that he is attempting to dictate to the democratic party, and insists that be has never attempted to dictate and has no desire to do so. Before the disputants go any farther into this controversy they had better try to agree on a definition of the word "dictate."
