That Friendly Feeling, The Lincoln Star reads a biting curtain lecture to tho Insurgent Modern Woodmen who In their Omaha meeting resolved that the head i consul should have his headquarters and offlco ' at tho headquarters of tho socloty. This, tho Star tolls us, Is an unnelghborly poke at Lin coln, having reference to the fact that the head consul has maintained offices in that city in stead of Rock Island, and the action Is hailed as a flagrant exhibition of Omaha animus. It Just happens that the very same issue of tho Star blazons on the rront page the commont of Lincoln bankers upon the award to Kansas City of, the regional bank for this district. Says ono bank president: It was practically decided by the bankers that If Lincoln was not fortunate enough In securing tho 'bank, Chicago was preferred. And two other bank presidents echo this sentiment, although a fourth Is magnanimous enough to declare: Lincoln honestly wanted Omaha to have the bank If It could not get It Itself. The fact, howovor, Is not disguised that tho demand of Lincoln for the reserve bank, although in no way Justified by Its banking strength or commercial importance, and the re fusal of Lincoln to pull with Omaha, must have helped Kansas City to land the prize. Why any one in Lincoln should prefer Chicago or Kan sas City over Omaha for the regional bank is explainable only on the score of narrow-minded selfishness. Recalling that In union thero is strength, wo submit that Omaha and Lincoln will have to sink potty differences and pull together for their common Interests better than they have been doing. Colonel Goethals is now monarch of all ho surreys, and he is somo surveyor. Which reminds us, that Platte river powor canal has not been built again for a long time.

Congressman Mann tolls us that "war Is in evitable," which Is a rather mild reduction downward from the Sherman definition. If tho location of those regional banks was not playing politics, it would be interesting to hava tho democratic Idea pt what' playing poli tics Is.

As a matter of news, the roport of tho house's rofusal to cut down mileage allowances for members from 20 cents a mile to the actual expenses has no value, whatever. It is exactly what has been done every time tho question has oomo up. The surprising thing Is that it recurs. Congressmen may .becomo ever so earnest and eloquent In pleading tor reform and re trenchment; they may talk themselves black in the face and out of breath about saving tho people's money, but thoy never so complete!:-' lose sight of the main chanco as to cut In on their own personal porqulsltes. It would not bo so notlceablo if many members of congress did hot make such a play to the galleries of tholr zeal to conserve tho public exchequer. When they deliberately refuBo, without offering any good reason, to how to the lino ot simple reim bursement In the matter of their own travel pay, they Invito public criticism and Impugn their own sincerity. Antoiits' Safety First Rules. A isplondld set of rules In the form of a catechism has been promulgated by the motor ists In behalf of the "safety first" crusade. Thoy are addressed primarily to children as instruc tion in tho prevention of accidents and are alto gether worthy and commendable. Here, for Instance, la question No, l: Before crossing a street, what would you, doT Answer Look both way to seo whether street cars, automobiles or wagons are coming and avoid' them,, then cross tho street quickly, . , f uoou. ,oo atsq re ino real .or. me instruc tions. But no matter how well the children heed them, casualties are Inevitable without equal diligence on the part of the autolst and others using the streets. We fancy that, -while children will be children, thoy are, considering their own natural fear of danger and the pro caution thoy receive at homo, about as careful 'as some of tho others. Getting down to tho facts, let all who drive machines observe the road rules rigidly, es pecially thoso against speeding, and thus co operate .with tho children in the "safety first" campaign. So long as these rules aro utterly ignored by so many on some of the main thor oughfares, where autos are most numerous, so long will all our other efforts at safety first In this respect count for Uttlo. Georgia's Egregious Blunder. Tho appointment ot W. S. West as United States Benator to fill out the unexpired term ot tho late Augustus O, Bacon is an unpardonable blunder. Wo got this straight from Normau Hapgood, original feminist and monitor of men and morals. Says Hapgood's weekly: There could hardly haVe been chosen a more egregious reactionary or one' so little likely to reflect credit upon the state. But what boots it tor tho people of Georgia to lament now, when they might have had tho light beforo instead ot after by going to the source ot light for it? How did It happen any way, that Governor Slaton, responsible to the people of his state, deliberately picked out the most unworthy man ho could find to foist upon the fair commonwealth, the "Empire State ot the Routh?" Tho Light tells us: . Governor John M. Slaton regarded hU ambition and not his fame. That Is, the governor has hopos of becoming senator, himself, at the next election, and, being an astuto man of affairs, concluded not to put tho least possible barrier In his own way In naming a man for the unexpired term. Not a very new trick, nor even a very shrewd ono, in this case, If all that Mr. Hapgood says is true. It the new senator Is the most egregious roac tlonary and tho people of Georgia do not desire that sort of a man, It goes without Baying that they will be apt to hold the governor responsible and Bhow their resentment of his schema to ele vate himself. There is this possibility also, that the gov ernor and people ot Georgia know pretty near as much about their own domestic affairs as any long-dlstanco adviser ot all tho country. Why pretend to ignor the fact that Kansas City's pull In landing the reserve bank camo from a deal mado, while too currency bill was up. between the administration and tha demo cratic senator who has his home there. It Is not reasonable to supposq that Senator Reed did his flop without assurances. am The official canvass for the South Dakota primary shows over 46,000 votes cast for the nation. The total vote polled in tho republican column n South Dakota in tho last presidential election was only 68,811, There Is food for thought in thesis figures.

Mr, Bryan always had footmen attending htm when driving about Lincoln in fact, when at home he, himself, foots It most of the time. Let Her Answer for Herself. LINCOLN. Neb.

April 4.-To the Editor of The Beo: The Bee of last Friday, April 3, In reporting the proceedings of tho Fed eration of Improvement Clubs, says: Mr. R, J. Sutton made a resolution that the activity of Mr. Kugel bo com mended and the actions of the other com missioners In recent cases prosecuted by the police commissioner bo condemned. The resolution was passed. Will you kindly correct tho above state ment, for there was 'no such resolution either offered or passed by tho federa tion? A motion was made, after Mr. Kugel had finished speaking, thanking him for his address and commending his views. The federation, by resolution adopted February 6, had gono on record favor able to the enforcement of tho laws. This organisation has no desire to either Interfere with, eommeitt upon or take any part In thn Judicial matters brought before the city commission In- their Judicial capacity, and wilt never do eo. And we believe that the ontlra commis sion are Interested In, and enforcing the taws, so far as their powers enable them to do so. Otherwise Mr. Kugel would never have been put In the position that enables him to anforco tho laws. And" we understand that tho 'law-enforcing power" or either a city, state or govern ment, or nation, especially In countries under constitutional government, Is In the "executive" department and not tho "legislative."

Thero has ben cojft slderable, newspaper comment this week regarding alleged ' political meet ings being held In the public schools. Briefly, I wish to make a statement for tho benefit ot those who think the fu ture uso of the schools Is tn Jeopardy be cause an official, addressing a non-poll-tlcal club on municipal ownership, favor ably mentioned the namea ot two legisla tors, ' who, he said, worked for the In terests ot Omaha as against the Interests ot a private corporation. In so doing, he does not make a political speeh, nor has anyone the right to say the meeting' Was a political meeting. Tho Board ot Education has plainly de fined political meetings aa political ral lies, tho gathering of people In tha schools for the purpose ot endorsing a party, Its methods or candidates. This, I believe, should not bo tolerated at the present time. There are few questions In which the people are vitally Interested that are not, more or less, of a quasi political nature and any Individual, newspaper or body ot men who Is opposed to the free and open discussion, under proper super vision, of these questions, go on record as against one of the basis principles of our democratic form of government. We feel this cannot rightfully be said of tha members ot our school board, for they havo shown themselves to ba pro gressive and have offered much encour agement to those who are working for a broader use of the school plant. There Is a provision In our club constitution that provides against the endorsement of any party or candtdate and there has never been a gathering In Monmouth Park school that has even assumed the nature of n political meeting. The opposition to the open school calls to our minds the Individuals, whom the Master spoke of. as straining at a gnat,, but who would swallow a camel. Theordore Roosevelt urged "the logical procedure or shifting the. polling places Into the school houses and then making them the deliberative as well as voting headquarters of district political organ isations, tho senate chamber ot the peo ple.'' . The time Is not far distant when we shall realise this great advantage, and through It, shall be established the sover eignty of the people, which, can only com through co-operation. E. D. BLACK.

Ills body was taken to Waverjey, la., for In terment. j O. It. Tompkins, formerly ot the Wahoo Democrat, has purchased on Interest In the Grand Island Free Press and will begin the Issue ot a dally edition wlthtn a few days. The Industrial edition of the E. T. Westervelfa Scott's Bluff Republican, consists of twenty-four well printed pages and gives a graphic description ot the transformation of dry prairie lands to a productive garden tn a decade. It Is beautifully Illustrated with pictures of farm scents, town residences, busi ness houses and portraits ot prominent men and women. The most pronounced success In the history of co-operation In the United States Is tho building and loan association movement. Beginning seventy years ago, In the crudest prosslble way, simply by a few neighbors gathering together usually once a week, and contributing their little savings to a common fund to be used In building a home in turn for each one contributing to the fund, there has grown today a tre mendous volume of building and loan association busi ness, aggregating better than ll,2SO,00O,O0O contributed to, and owped by 2,500,005 people. Throughout all this splendid growth the Idea has prevailed and stilt pre vails that these are the people's organisations, de signed to aid and encourage thrift and home-owning. And while they are not tn most cases the small neighborhood organizations they formerly were, yot their affairs aro still managed by the people them selves. While the plans ot these various associations dif fer greatly In the different states ot the union, the baslo principles are the same, and they are doing more today for the solid upbuilding of our cities, and to some extent, of our farming districts, than any other similar agency. In Nebraska there aro at this time seventy of these organizations, with 76,000 members and S35.000.000 of resources. They are all under the supervision ot the state banking board at Lincoln, by whose ex perts they are examined and to which they report on call. Since January 1, 1S96, the first fairly nor mal business year after the 1S33 panlo, to Juno 30, 191.1, these associations assisted in the erection of 21,683 buildings In this state, practically all homes, and thoy also assisted In that time In the purchase of 30,000 homes already built. Had not these Institutions existed In our state during theso years, the possibilities are that not more than one-half tbls number of homes would or could have been built and owned by the occupants, for the reason that there was no organization other than these ready or able to furnish so large an amount of the cost of these properties. Tho funds thus brought together are not those of people of wealth, but aro the combined savings of tens of thousands of people. Nor have these funds, k as a rule, been drawn out of banks or trust com panies to tho detriment of commercial business. On the other hand, tho greater part of these funds rep resents the Increment ot thrift, the by-product of economy and careful living; and through tho medium of co-operation flemished by these associations. It -has been gathered together and put actively to work In assisting in tho development of a better American citizenship by assisting people to secure homes of their own. What It means to our, commonwealth In tho way of n better, more Intelligent, more Independ ent citizenship, cannot be reckoned In figures. In Omaha there aro eight building associations, with $20,000,000, of resources, practically every dollar of which Is helping men and women to secure home of tholr own, free of debt. From June 30. 1S99, to June 90, 1913, these nsoclatlons assisted In the erec tion of 6,728 new buildings, mainly homes, In Greater Omaha. The average cost of these homes has been 12,000, so that outside of funntshlng good homes for our people, the splendid sum of 313,600,000 has been added to the wealth and visible taxing value of our city and county. This thing could not have been ac complished without these Institutions, as there was no agency In existence In Omaha able to gather these funds together and to loan a sufficiently large sum to each Individual to enable him to secure his home. And while money on deposit In banks and trust com panies, or hidden away n safety deposit vaults. Is not always turned in for taxation, yet this money thus put tq work In the creation of new values In 6u city by the erection of new homes, has very ma terially Increased our taxable property In a. way that brings In a sure' revenue each year hereafter. V- " ? A movement Is now on for extending the great benefits of. these associations to tho farmers 'of the United States by enabling and assisting them either to organize such Institution for themselves, or by making1 It possible by way of annual Instead ot monthly loan-payments and by way of a lower In terest rate, to Join tho associations now In existence, for the purpose of securing needed funds therefrom, This Idea Is already worked out In, a practical way In Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin, where farmers are able to borrow at tho market rate for money of that kind, the morgages securing same being amortized on a twenty to twenty-five-year basis, where that is desired, with the right to repay al or part of prin cipal practically at any time without notice. This Is bringing the farmer cheaper money, since It does away with the matter of commissions charged for making or renewing loans, and enables him to carry the loan a long series ot years without additional expenso or to pay the same off whenever to his con venience. No line of financial activity has ever been moro honestly managed than the business of these associa tions. Defalcations and failures aro practically un known; and as tho home Is the best type of security that can be given for money (as a home-owner usually sacrifices all else beforo he gives up the home), there has therefore been but the minimum of loss due to poor security. Tha development ot those associations In Omaha has been such as to enlist the Interest of people throughout the United States. Omaha owco Ita splendid growth of the last fif teen years to these associations, and has today the largest association In the country. The reason for this local growth has been due largely to the fact that since the "93" panlo there have been no sav ings banks as such In the city, and as the people of any thrifty, enterprising community are so con stituted that they will save money, these associations have taken the placo of the ordinary savings bank nnd have been able to attract to their treasuries the funds of tens ot thousands of people In and out ot Omaha, because of the pliability ot their plan of oper ation, the safety with which they are operated and the rate, of dividend which they have been ablo to pay. The strength of these associations locally was never so well-tried as following the tornado of n year ago, when not only did they not lose a dollar for the reason that through their foresight In carry1 lng blanket tornado policies covering all of their properties, they were fully protected, but they began loaning money the following day to rebuild the stricken part of the city. Aside from their financial resources, the unmeasured strength of all these as sociations Is duo to the fact that no one can do busi ness with them either as savers or borrowers except they first become members of the association. This Insures, their operation on the co-operative plan for the benefit ot all people who see tit to do business with them. these onus OF OUKS. Wife Tou are forever criticising. Ac cording to you.
