Planning Ahead for Schools.
It seems to us that tho first place
where the city planning ldoa should
find application in Omaha is with
rofcrenco to tho futuro expansion of
our public schools. This suggestion
s not by way of criticism or fault
finding, but of constructive prog
ress. The osBonco oi tne ciiy plan
ning Idea is to look, ahead and map
out in advance what appears to bo
desirable in municipal dovelopmont,
and tc work along in directions that
promise eventual arrival at the land

LINCOLN, Neb., May M.-To the Editor
ot The Bee; An Associated Press dis
patch says:
Former Governor Hadley of Missouri
states that a coalition of the republican
party Is not only desired but Is being
sought Mr. Hadley explained that this
end was being sought by the attempt to
retorm tne renubucan party so tnat con
scientious progressives who left the party
last fall may rejoin.
There waa a similar "attempt' to re
form the republican party about '61 to '65
and there are a large number of old vet
erans yet living who took port In the
controversy and the final adjustment of
the admitted difference .ot opinion.
The ground of conduct upon which the
republican party was founded and upon
whloh the party has firmly stood for more
than fifty years has made this country
great and has brought happiness and
prosperity to all the people. So great is
our country and so great are the personal
advantages and privileges to be enjoyed
that emigration from every portion ot
tho world come here to find homes In
the land of the free and the country of
prosperity and has become so extensive
that It Is now deemed necessary to fnd
some way to lessen the flood ot home
seekers.
Former Governor Hadley would like to
reform the republican party so such In
spired leaders as himself and other con
scientious progressives can remain In tho
party. What would Lincoln say If hi
waa on earth, and whnt would Blaine,
Grant and Harrison say of such expres
sions or reproach upon the republican
party?
The old republican ship will be ready
to begin voyage again at the command of
the people, well arranged and In sea
manlike trim for performance of duty
and managed by a commander-ln-chlet
who has never faltered or defamed by
slander the republican party or the
eminent statesmen who rendered service
Of high value to their country.
