A lost Opportunity.
(Reprinted from The Bee. March K lill)
Without going- into the merits or
demerits -of the candidates for coua-
dlmea "listed' by ths .Citizens'
anion. It strikes ns tbst a great op
portunity -has been lost we would
be', justified 1n -saying recklessly
thrown swsy by tbose who under
took to choose tbe.road for this or
ganisation to follow sn opportunity
presented of making an issue in the
coming campaign for a nsw set of
men to sdmtnlster a new plan of city
government.
Whatever public sentiment has
aroused behind the movement
for the commission plan has drawn
tts Inspiration from dissatisfaction':
with, the old maaagement ot affairs
which It- Is to displace. Ths Oqly
excuse and demand for adopting the
commission plsn csme from the de
sire to get away from the old ineffi
cient machinery of government and
aubstitute a modern up-to-date
mechanism that would make the tax
payers feel they were getting full
returns tor their money.'
The spokesmen of the ClUiens'
union have prided themselves 'In
their pronunciamento that they were
sponsors of and special guardians
for a new Idem in the commissloa
plan, which was to Inaugurats a new
ra for Omaha. But In applying
theory .' to practice they evidently
could not get away from the political
pressure and halted at the halfway
station by filling In their ticket with
torn of th very men charged with
responsibility lor .th shortcomings
of th old plsa of city government.
With the Cltlsens' union abandon
ing the only Issue at Stake, and mak
ing Its campaign purely a choice of
men, based upon Individual judg
ment, then personal preference will
b th determining factor, all the
why through. If w read th bight

Old Question ot Amuiemcnti.
Tb general conference of th
Methodist church at Minneapolis has
addressed Itself to the old problem of
what amusements srs til and unlit
for th churchmsn. It Is a question
which hss perplexed' ths Methodists
aad othsr orthodox churches for
many years, and if It shoald be left
a little short ot complete determina
tion It probably will occasion ne great
surprise.
The Methodists hav been strict
dtsctpllr-axlans on th matter of
amosementa, but . changing times
bring -changing 'mind and Without
necessary loosening ot religious ties,
an evident yielding from th old
tenacious ground has set In.
Tb board t bishop of th Meth
odist church has- taken advanced
ground In nconnnsndlng tha aboli
tion of tha rule, "prohibiting dancing.
card playing, gambling aod going to
theaters,' circuses and horseraces,"
on th ground that 'th Amerieaa
people are too far advanced longer
to be restricted by rhnrch rules aa to
what thsir amusements lhonld be."
' This will undoubtedly b haired aa
a rational, broadenmg-oot.'tnd It will
bo a matter of tb utmost Interest to
i whst the ' geberai ' tonferehr
finally does with the re'eoramshfla-
tloa. The bishops see tost' church
members hav Ideas of their 'own oh
personal conduct which cannot be
controlled by fixed rules. And
the church autistic show that this
rule hss never been consistently ad
hered to.

whom th Methodists as wsil aa th
Presbyterians and many others de

rather broadly -vihen he said that

a'or condemned a man, "for neither

ft Was mora a matter of how, that H,

waa done. He was fearful only Jeat
by eating., "this liberty ot yours be
come a stumbling block to thsm thatJ

posed ot th wool subject by saying
that "It meat msk . my brother t
offend, I will eat no floes" -

th discharged oonvkt to find aa It
need to be. This is a hopeful sign
thst we ar getting somewhere near
a rational attitad toward the man
who eommlta a crime and goes to
prison 'to pay th penalty. It calls
for no msudlta wsatimsat oa th gen-
eta punishment of criminals to fly

Building- and Lumber.
After; a considerable lapse, tb
lumber trade is said to show signs of
improvement.' Reports come from
the Psclflo northwest to ths effect
that a boom year in lumber is ex
pected. This must of course be con
trolled more or less ly the amount
of building going on. The building

msrksd Improvement On the whole.
