Fifty years ago there felt mortally wounded at Cbancelloravltlo one ot the treat captains of tho English-speaking races. Xee Who called Stonewall Jackson, hts strong1 tight arm, once said that ho would have won Gettysburg if Jackson had been there. Be that as it may, the almost un interrupted victories of the army of north ern Virginia ended when Jackson passed away. Chancellorsville marked the flood tide -of the confederate arms. Two months later came Gettysburg, and from thence on to Appomattox Lee's forces, despite all their .marvelous courage and tenacity, were never again invincible. Jackson 8 place In military history Is unique. Most great reputations were made by long years of service. His career was compressed Into a scant twenty-two months, from that day in July, 1E61, when tee pointed to him "standing like a stone wall" at Bulls Ilun, to the early May day In 183 when he marched his corps around the front of Hooker's army. smashed. In its right flank, and gave the confederacy Its moat brilliant victory, only to fall under tho fire of his own men. A terrible "partnership was that between' the cavalier and the Puritan, between tee. who embodied tho chivalry of Vlr ginia, and Jackson, who was a direct spiritual descendant ot the mun that fought with Cromwell at Naseby. In all crWa the. two men setmtid to fight with a single brain and a single purpose, desti tute alike of the jealousy and Intrigue that all -but wrecked tho army ot the Potomac, Jackson presents a strange, appealing figure on the pages of history. He waa as gentlo and gracious as' Lee, as silent and tatiturn aa Grant, as daring - and audacious as Stuart or Sheridan, as re lentless as (merman, and with it all there waa an intensity of religious fervor that belonged to the seventeenth century rather than the nineteenth. The war to him was a prayer on his lips, and he went from battle to give thanks to God, who had wrowned his army with victory:. Appealing from bis native sod In fnrma. naUDerl to God. "Iay bara thlno arm stretch forth thy roa. Amen'." That's Stonewalls way. .Even the bullets that struck him down lie regarded as providentially directed by at definite divine purpose. There Is no hi6re .mendacious phrase than tbat of "a bdfn soldier," but hero was a man who yfia - beyond question a born soldier-a soldier who hated war. who was dittlfcd neither by ambition nor glory, who fought for principle and principle alone, and whose military genius waa element! Peace to bis ashes. A united nation can be proud that he waa numbered among her sons.

The best interests of Omaha and its citizens and the best interests of the gas company are really the same. The reaction of a franchise unfair to the people could do us immeasurable damage. Nothing is easier than to charge an opponent with bad motives; no kind of a charge should carry less weight with fair minded men and women. There is nothing "between the lines' in the proposed gas rate-reduction franchise. If the gas company did not believe it fair to the people it would not persistently invite YOU to read it and to carefully consider it section by section. Approval of the rate-reduction fran chise by the voters means that you will get a reduction of 15 cents per thousand feet in the price of gas at once. The rate reduction franchise will save the gas users of Omaha more than $700,000 in the next 5 1-3 years alone this tuith- unexpired "franchise value," and the, right to admit a competing company. If the franchise is rejected, the city and the company will bo compelled to fight out the dollar gas case in the courts, with uncertain results at the-end of four or five years. The most the city can win is $1.00 gas, which is offered NOW by the rate reduction franchise. The franchise was unanimously passed by the mayor and city council, based upon a long investigation by experts. . It will be accepted by the gas com pany because, although $1.00 gas will not at present yield a fair return upon the actual value of its physical property, the company desires to serve the people effici ently and adequately with gas not excelled in the United States, and in this way to maintain its standing as a progressive and deservedly successful service organization.
