A Lost Opportunity.
Without going into the merits or
demerits of the candidates for roun
ellmen "slated" by tbe Citizens"
union, It strikes us that a great op
portunity has , been lost we would
be Justified In saying recklessly
thrown away by those who under
took to chooee tbe road for this or
ganization to follow an opportunity
presented of making an issue in the
coming campaign for a new set of
men to administer a new plan ot city
government.
Whoever public sentiment has
been aroused bebind the movement
for tbe commission plan has drawn
Ita inspiration from dissatisfaction
with the old management of affairs
which it is to displace. Tbe only
excuse and demand for adopting the
commission plan came from the de
sire to get away from the old ineffi
cient machinery of government and
substitute a modern up-to-date
mechanism that would tiake the tax
payers feel they were getting full
returns for their mouey.
The spokesmen for tbe Citizens'
union have prided themselves In
their pronunclamentos that they were
sponsors of snd special guardians
for a new Idea in tbe commission
plan, which was to inaugurate a new
era for Omaha. But In applying
theory to practice tbey evidently
could not get away from the political
pressuro and baited at the halfway
station by filling In their ticket with
tome of tbe very men charged with
responsibility for the shortcomings
ot the old plan of city government
With the Citizens' union abandon
ing the only Issue at stake, and mak
ing Its campaign purely a choice of
men, baaed upon individual Judg
ment, then personal preference will
be the determining factor all the
way through. It w road the algns
aright, this lost opportunity Is now
Irrecoverable, and the chances of
eliminating party politics, along
with party labels, almost gone.
Hen and Religion.
Omaha will be visited this week
by one ot the "teams" sent out to
plan , for the conservation of the
forces ot tbe Men and Religion For
ward movement Conservation Is
deemed highly necessary to give af
fect to th effort ot th year. So
many evangelistic enterprises hav
spent their enthusiasm without,
even to the church's satisfaction,
conserving tb results temporarily
achieved. So In theory, at least,
this movement seeks to avoid that
mistake.
Another distinguishing feature of
tbla movement It that from th first
It hat gone down Into the street to
try and Interest th man there In
th cauat ot religion. This la such
a natural thing for any religious en
terprise to do that It teems hardly
worthy of special mention, but It Is
because of so many failures by the
propaganda to do this that It now
become notable.
.It la wall tor tb church If through
such mediums of Influence It Is
brought to see that It must meet the
man la th street, that It must talk
to him la terms that he can appre
ciate and must condescend to com
pete with th worldly attractions
tor bis attention and his time. For
It has tried the other method ot
bringing him Into tbe church by
erecting commodious edifices and
labeling them with signs, "All Wel
come," and golug on with ita serv
ices whether th signs attracted him
or not At least that Is th impres
sion th man In tb street too often
got But this Men and Religion
movement proceed from a very dif
ferent conception ot churcbly func
tion. It apparently proceeds from
a determined notion that It Is time
to "Awake, awake; put on thy
strength, Oh Zlon." and exert a
more keen and definite seal tor men.
whether they 'be high or low In the
seal ot social activity.
Hew Home for Consumptives.
American people are attll exerting
aa earneat effort In the combat with
tuberculosis, and not without great
results. On ot the latest enter
prises in this direction has Just been
undertaken la Denver, wbero all
Protestant churches of J he city hsve
combined their powers to establish
and maintain a building for tbe care
of patienta afflicted with tbia dis
ease. The building Is ' to cost
11,000.000 and It operation will
continue to be expensive, demanding
tbe best efforts of the united
churches.
Buch an Institution should be of
vast advantage In the tight to over
come, thl deadly enemy of health,
and Denver la a good place for Its
location. - Furthermore, It le grati
fying to find churches effacing de
nominational lines for the sake ot
Interests so 'paramount Ot what
possible value can creeds, confessions
of faith and forma of worship be as
compared with the direct actual
needs ot humanity In this respect?
Going It single-handed and alone,
doubtless no one of Denver's Prot-
estent churches could swing this
proposition, unitedly tbey swing it
with comparative ease. Is it not
worth while, then, to merge differ
ences and divisions ot human opin
ions Into a purpose to .great and po
tential. If not divine? It is a con
sptcaoua example for churches
throughout the land. It suggests
what vast energies - tr lying dor
mant aad what tremendous oppor-
tunltles for needful service are go
ing to waste because of too much
consistency to formal religion.
Worse and More of It.
To republicans occupying specta
tors' seats the ruction among the
Nebraska democrats is becoming
more and more Interesting. Out at
Kearney Mr. Bryan was quoted as
declaring that if Governor Harmon
carries the presidential preference
primary as against other democratic
candidates he will refuse to attend
the Baltimore convention, though
commissioned as a delegate-at-large.
As we have already said, this Is s
most remarkable attitude for Mr.
Bryan to take after preaching "let
the people rule" in season and out
of season, and berating every demo
crat honored by the party who re
fused to accept the decree of the
majority when it made him three
times the standard-bearer. This
declaration Is aa announcement of
deliberate purpose not- to recognise
the will of the majority as binding
If the primary outcome falls to con
form to Mr. Bryan's wishes.
But now comes Mr. Bryan with a
further proclamation ot bis pro
gram, which can be characterized
only as worse snd more ot it:
If Nebraska democracy Instructs for
Harmon I will refuse to serve as a dele
gate In ease I anr elected, but will In
stead go to Baltimore as an Individual,
and as n Individual do what I can to
secure the nomination of a progressiva
democrat
It is easily understandable " that
Mr. Bryan would not be a very sym
pathetic snd enthusiastic' Harmon
delegate for Nebraska to send to
Baltimore to help nominate the
Ohio governor, and It might be
within the dictates ot propriety for
him to let his alternate go In his
place. Yet, when Mr. Bryan goes
on to ssy that he will nonetheless
try to divest himself ot his obliga
tion to hla party and go to Baltimore
In his Individual capacity to nullify
the expressed will ot the democratic
majority In hla own state, he repu
diate tbe primary In advance. It
It It to count for nothing, the demo
cratic end ot the much-vaunted
presidential preference primary In
Nebraska may at well be called off.
A Second Isthmian Canal t
' Already, before the Panama canal
It completed and In operation, we hear
talk ot a second Isthmian waterway
and some believe It Is not far In the
future. They baa their belief tiuon
tbe assumption that the Panama
canal will soon be unable to accom
modate th traffic demands UDon It.
The Christian Science Monitor very
appropriately points,' In this con
nection, to the experience of western
railroad building, when, fifty years
ago, men planning tbe construction
of a line from Chicago to Omaha
thought that by some book or crook
such a venture might In time be made
to pay Its own expenses and trepida
tion attended th vast enterprise ot
launching a transcontinental line
from Omaha west.
But th history of what followed
the building of the Northwestern and
tbe Union Pacific is one of tbe moat
thrilling chapter in all the annals
of empire building. We have the
Nicaragua canal rout laid out For
thirty years its avsllsblllty waa urged
upon tbe floor ot congress and for a
long Urn It teemed to be th root
for selection. So, perhaps, ss the
Monitor suggests, a second canal
acroaa th isthmus is not far In th
dlstsnc, yet it does not seem so very
near to us.
Tbe doubt of tb Panama's psytng
success for torn time may scarcely
be compared with the misgivings In
th minds of tb men who built the
pioneer railroads, for there waa then
no auch dramatic object leasont of
transportation and development be
fore tbla country by which men might
form approximately Ideas of what to
expect We have all those lessons
and experiences to guide us today and
may not be easily surprised. Yet
some of thou, in closest touch with
the Panama ar nnwllllng aa yet to
consider Ita Immediate greatness
from the standpoint of its prompt net
revenues. They foresee a fight to
compete successfully with the estab
lished land transportation in the
United States and the Tehusntepee In
Mexico, to say nothing ot the Suet.
Of course, time will develop a traffic
which will, no doubt tax. If not over
come, the facilities of the Panama
canal and make necessary th build
ing or the Nicaragua route, but this
seems to us to be one ot th remote
results.
Unwarranted Comparisons.
An eminent business man has been
quoted, without making dental, as
saying that present conditions in the
United States presaged aa upheaval
more terrible than the French revolu
tion. If he aaid it he doubtless did
not Intend more than mere hyper
bole, but nevertheless such agitation
'should be Jeft to lips of incendiaries
without weight
No two periods la history could be
much more nnlike than that Imme
diately preceding the French revolu
tion and this Jo free Asaerlca today.
Corrupt corroded monarchist France
fell a victim to Its owa Inordinate
lust wbea its vicious appetite found
no more to feed upon. Tyranny had
dug Its heel unrelentingly Into the
seek ot the "third estate," converting
It Into a mas of ferocious human
beings straggling for bread. Tbe
kingdom was virtually bankrupt and
THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MAECH
such a remorseless siege of murder,
rapine and plunder as ensued has
seldom If ever been known In the his
tory of civilization.
And yet it la with this condition
that men dare draw a comparison of
our times and country. We are en
Joying larger liberties, greater pros
perity and better living conditions
than we or any other people ever
have enjoyed. Our nation ia the
richest, most powerful, most progres
sive, most democratic; our classes the
most noble and our masses the most
orderly. Social discontent exists, yes,
because social discontent Is the
leaven of civilization. Economic and
political problems real and atern con
front ua, yes, because they are the
natural complements of tbe evolution
of government and they aiwaya con
fronted this nation and by them we
mount as a people to higher rounds
of citizenship and Individual and col
lective power and Influence. What if
we have not solved them all? One
thing, we must not look for a solvent
common to all, for a panacea, but
one by one, as those before us In this
nation have done, take these problems
and work tbem out.
Education and Divorce.
An eastern school for girls boasts
that ot its 7,000 graduates not one
ever has been a party to a divorce.
We do not know what proportion of
Ua 7,000 graduates have married, the
majority, we suppose, since they are
young women, but the record Is mani
festly one to be proud of. It might
even be held up as one ot the very
greatest attractions of this college,
though to the credit of the Institu
tion, be It said, it Is not making such
a commercial asset ot it.
What proportion of these young
women have distinguished themselves
for their erudition since leaving
school, whst proportion have
achieved fame In the forum ot public
activities art, literature, the pro
fessions or business or even In some
of the conspicuous spheres of woman's
political emancipation, we do not
know and, evidently, their alma
mater does not care. Not one haa
been divorced. That ia record
enough. . Woman's most natural
sphere Is the home. These women
seem to fit Into homes, seem to sdorn
them wit1 natural womanly grace,
seem to know how to meet their
many little perplexities snd annoy
ances, to exhibit patience, lov and
forbearance in their relations with
those whom they have accepted as
their helpmeets In the preservation
ot tbe firesides snd th resrlng of
fsmllles. Tbey seem to forget self
long enough to remember that life's
most sscred bonds should not be
sundered merely to satlafy a fleeting,
personal whim or caprice; to realise
that there It a higher mission la this
world than th serving of a sordid
temper or perverse will and that for
man or woman the noblest work is
to perform the part ot husband or
wife, fatber or mother In perfect
felicity and concord. .
What has education to do with
matrimony? Juat this: Education's
prim function It to teach young
men and women how to live before it
teaches them anything else. The
character and standing of this old
New Engltnd institution is answer
sufficient to any carping criticism
about a school's right to delve Into
the amenities ot matrimony We do
not know what course It pursues, by
whst example or precepta this school
reaches its young women on thess
matters, but obviously It inculcates
some lessons which, they seem to re
member and practice with most
magnificent fruitage and it can make
no difference about th rest This Is
on Instance where, surely, th means
Justify th end. And for other
schools for girls, who artistic
temperament may be finer, whose
reach Into the del lent details of
social preetlg may be more extensive.
whose young women know more
about' certain useless foibles of fash
Ion, this school with 7,000 nndlvorced
grsduatea stands as a pattern.
Th bird men hav beea unusually
quiet of late, giving th impression
tbst winter weather Is not favorable
to flying. If the airship Is to be a
practical means of locomotion. It
will have to overcome temperature
and seasonal obstacles.
Assurance is given that the "Im
mediate and compulsory" purchase
of our water works plant begun nine
years ago, will be wholly consum
mated within sixty day. And still
a lot ot our people are from Mis
souri. An automatic violin player is
smong recent German inventions. If
we ar not careful we will toon hav
a mechanical trombone footer
planted in every block and reading
the air continuously night and day.
A bumper crop ot wheat, corn and

monially preferred to a state's chief mag
