Closer Together.
Tho visit to Omaha ot a delegation ot rep
resentative Lincoln business mon and the in
elusion of Lincoln In the Itinerary of our Omaha
Commercial club's auto-excurslon inrlte now
ndverslon to the mutual intnreatn of Nebraska's
two largo cities. Everybody agrees that tho
advantages to both by getting closor together
and working together far outweigh any ad
vancement tho ono might gain over the other
by pursuing a policy of antagonism. The most
recent ntrlklng example of that is seen In the
outcome of the contost for the regional reserve
bank, In which Omaha and Lincoln were ranged
as competitors, refusing to pool inaues, with the
result that neither received- tho coveted recog
nition, which wont to a city in another state
j without rightful claim to it. Other Instances
j might also be cited where lack of co-operation
only reacted to the detriment of both cities and
of tho state.
Wo realize that flno words butler no pars
nips and that to talk about getting together and
really to get together are not one and tho snme
thing. Tho aloofness of Omaha from Lincoln
and of Lincoln from Omaha, howovor, Is un
questionably due In largo part to misunder
standing, to distrust and suspicion of ono an-
other traceable to no particular or definite
sourc", which all concerned freely admit lias no
Justification except In foolish prejudices handed
down from days gono by. More IntMmute ac
quaintance, Joint effort to accomplish mutual
purposes, social and business lnVirchnngo and,
above all, an appreciation by both of tho other's
rightful and legitimate field of expansion
these will help smooth tho road for Omaha and
Lincoln, to got closer togothor and travel to-'
gel her, and the turns fewer at which they aro
liable to fall apart.

the public will nnturally bo disposed to nsk If
ho Is to be "tho fcamo old Dill" w"ho sent .the
Wflrd that day to Tammany, his political crea
tor, and preserver for twenty yearn. Sulzor Is
to mntee tho race this tlmo as an "Independent,
whatever that may moan. For one thing It
evidently means that ho has not ne yet suc
ceeded in connecting up with any of tho regu
lar party organizations. And;, believe us, what
ever olso may be said of "Bill," ho b a good
enough politician to mako such a connection If
posclblo. for with all the hlgh-soundlng hurrah
about going K alone, froo and Independent, tho
Ic'o deposod govornor has gono It often enough
to know that tho going Is nover so good as whon
.some well organized, highly-oiled party ma
chine is back of him to koop him over the rough
places. Anyhow, a vindication is as good by
any other nntne than independent. What is in
a name whon a man nocda a Job, that is, of
Course, vindication?
But why all this speculation about Sulzer
and tho New York governorship? He probably
ha no more Idea of making a serious race for

Future of 'the Movie.
Tho Nebraeka moving ptcturo show men are
to bo commondod for their avowed purpose to
cbntlnuo to elevato tho character of their pro
ductions. Yet It Is natural that thoy should,
slnco they expect to remain In tho business and
appeal to nil classes of peoplo for patronage.
In .expressing this determination attention Is
called to the tact that tho moving picture rep
resents an industry today in which 200,000
Ueoplo aro financially Interested, while 600,000
are Indirectly getting their broad ahd butter
cut ot It. That suggests tho element of sta
bility that must attach to the business to mako
It' permanent.
Tho Deo said at tho outset In reply to the
domand tor moro rigid restriction ot the movies
on the ground of certain nlleficd Improprieties
that thoy were destined for largo and useful
service for education as well no for entertain
ment, and that they would In tlmo adjust thorn
selves to standards of proprloty. In a very
large measure they have already done this, ns
the action of our Nobraska movie raon shows.
It is but tho logic of ovents, a slmplo matter
or evolution. Although the moving picture
camo Into voguo in a rather garrulous and often
offenrlvo form, and whllo it has not as yet
completed Its process of refinement, it has ram
ified Into bo many fiolds of culture and utility
as to como almost wfthlu the category of a
necessity of lite. Schools, churches and other
worthy agcnles aro making oxcellont use of
the movies, and this expansion Is suro to con
tlnuo as tho Invontlon Is perfected.
Too Many Dops at Large.
The father of a llttlo child whoso ifo hangs
lu the talarc-j lora the blto of a dog, asks Tho
Bee to reinforce and omphaslza his protost
against degs running loore unmuzzled in
Omaha, and wo gladly respond. On tho ques
tion at muzzles tor dogs, a difference of opinion
1& bound to arise, tor we remember an acrl
montoUs discussion hero on this subject not so
many yoara ago, but on tho 'unrestricted run
ning at largo of useless and ownerloss canines
;there should be no two views. If an owner
doos not want to bo lipid responsible for a dog
there Is no oxcuge for giving the animal tho
tnmolested freedom bf the city. Other towns
do not axpose little children and grown-ups to
be bltton and possibly iufectod. The authori
ties can do a lot by way of prevonMon If they
will on!y mako tho effort.
Health Commissioner Connoll rightly com
plains or dereliction of physicians in reporting

to be the last ones to noglect thU imperative

The aweet month of June must havo lost

am opposed to university removal n'
thottgh the value of my own modest llttlo

regent by sight, am not acquainted with

and Coach Stlehm. Fully JO rer cent of
the business 1 transact In my own little
tiuslneM of magazine publishing Is with
manufacturer who are not financially
ntcrcsted In trade arising; from the pres
ence of the university, and considerably
I more Iran half of my total business la
torn outside of Lincoln. I have no In
tereM In any business dependent In whole
or In part -upon the presence of the uni
versity on Its present site, and the unli
verslty Itself could be moved to Sidney
or Chodron without appreciable results
so far a my business Is concerned. Not
n single solitary patron of mine has up
to this time spoken to me In opposition to
(r In favor of university removal. I am
without an axe to grind and absolutely
free from the Influence of any man, st
of men or organization.
I am oppotlni; university removal for
thi simple reason that I want the state
agricultural school to he the blggost
thing In Nebraska educational circles; nut
a thin of necondary Importance to a bin
school that turns out members of tho uo
called professions, Nebraska needs more
farmers and fewer lawyers nnd doctor.-!;
mpre farmers' wives who can mako the
farmstead attractive, nnd fewer women
who take .all and Klve nothing.
It may bo that I havo failed to qualify
In the oplnloq of The Bee as one "with
out an axo to grind," and "not Influenced
by aomiono who has," but In that ovent,
doubtlefe. The Bee will permit me to hp

, NORTH LOUP, Neb., June 4.-To the
Editor of Tho Bee: The news Is being
8ecrotly nnd openly published over the
ntc. purporting that the Catholics have
driven Mr, Mnrchead out of the First
district congressional race. That report
came by way of the Nebraska Bepubll
can, and the snme was also reported by
Mr. Mellor at Loup city. The same, no
doubt, has been carried Into alt part of
the state.
Entering upon a campaign In which the
subjects of school revision, tho making
of a now constitution and the control
und Improvement of our water power re-J-ources,
the subject of roilglon may set
them all aside and pemlt financial In
terests to control tho political nomina
tions and elections to the detriment of
the public. The people of Nebraska
should beware of this new entering
wedge, na the whole matter Is more than
likely a-ieluslon of a political clique.' In
,JgatedTfor tlo purpose of-turnlng atten
tion away from material questions.
Many pedplq, who havo no first-hand
Information of the working of the
Catholo church, really believe the whole
Irstltutlon a menace to civilization. They
set thnt Iden solely from vaiue rtirles
which have no more foundation than the
rainbow. Tho good people aro not all
located In the protestant churches. Oo
Into any Institution you may choose and
make Jnqulrles with respect to the char
nctor of Catholic young women ahd you
will find a greater per cent of them more
virtuous than the Protestants, Ifow many
young; women are sent to Catholic schools
nnd convents for reform? There Is
scarcely a community In the state that
has not a representative In those Insti
tutions. The whole subject of the people who
question the Catholics Is with respect to
the government of Borne. I do not be
llevo that Rome should rule our state,
and, leln a Methodist, I do not b-slleve
tho Catholic people want Rome to rule
the tate. History Is full of examples
which Pltjye the Inability of a church to
govern a people, and the Cathollca know
this ns well as we.
Methodists In tho higher church posi
tions arc now making every effort to
control state politics. The great bulk
of the church know nothing of It. But
the control of the organisation Is firmly
In the possession of Standard Oil, and If
we are to believe one-half the reports
of the trouble In Mexico Standard OH
Is at the iKittom of that revolution. I
believe that Standard Oil methods are far
more dangerous to popular government
and organized society than any other foe.
The Mprehead administration haa made
state appointments from the Wesleyan
faculty, and It has every appe'a'-ance that
Wesloyan and Mr. Morehead are not far
npatt ln a political way. Who was ap
pointed to tha Curtis agricultural school?
Was he not a member of the Wesleyan
faculty? Catholicism Is a th)craCy
Methodism la an aristocracy. Both or
ganizations havo done much good.
The people of this sta.te. not long ago.

baw ald7' We do not know, but Judg
ing the future by the past the state
would have been filled" with scarehcads
that the Cathollca were preparing an up

on two occasions, and wahted me to
take a stand against Mr. Moorehead, two
years ago through putting Standard Oil

"I was very glad that I took swimming lessons
at Haversal," said little Helen O'Hara, one of two
slater who swam to safety whsn the Empress of
Ireland plunged to the bottom of the St. Lawrence
river. When two little girls of 8 and 10 years sur.
vlve where strong men drown, the Importance of
learning to swim ta obvious. Olant muscles beat
themselves out Idly In the water unless there Is
knowledge of how to make the water a servant.
"Now la Just the time, comments the New York
Times, "to tpako this lesson profitable to Innumer
able thousands. It Is the outing, season. Learning
should not be delayed because the prospect of an
ocean voyage Is small. Uvea may be lost or saved
In a duckpond na well na the ocean. Those who go
down to the sea In ships or rowboats alike should
learn both what to do and what not to do on and In
tho water. The element should be respected rather
than feared. No liberties should be taken with It,
but It should not be allowed to end your life before
your time. Learn to swim, learn this season, and
you will be glad as long- as you live, even though
your life never should be In danger on the water.
Whr Women Marry.
Since tho days of Eve the question, "Why do
women marxyT" has been wigwagged down th cen
turies with a satisfying answer. Tha feminine "be
cause" no longer wards off the Jnterrogatolns of
modern qulzzers. They want to know, you know.
Mother's Magazine submits an answer that Is quite
Informing, If not wholly satisfactory one carrying
groat weight, considering the source. "Women have
the marrying habit, men do not.'' bays the maga
zine, "This Is not strange; for generations of girls
have been taught that every woman should be mar
rled, and that to remain unwed Is a disgrace. Being
a "married woman" has been a sort of boast of
superiority on the port of wives. Naturally, because
their mothers and almost every other person of their
own sex put a great deal ofmphasls on the desira
bility of being married, and none at all on the de
sirability, which sometimes exIstR, of remaining un
married, girls looked on marriage as the goaj of
ambition, and bent their whole energies to getting'
husbands,
"Bather than endure the stigma of being "old
maid's," they took tho first man who gave them a
chance. Their object was not love, not a husband,
but simply to acquire the status, privileges and defer
enco which they had been taught were denied to all
of their sex except the 'married woman.'
"The same mothers who fairly drive their daugh
ters to marry are singularly reluctant to see their
sons wed. Tho mother who Is employed in all the
arts and craft of the chase to entrap some other
woman's son for her daughter's husband will weep
ot the announcement that the Other woman's daugh
ter has shackled her son."
Bachelor Only, '
"Tho stars In their courses seem to be fighting
against married men," observes the San Francisco
Argonaut "It appears that he. la now to be discrim
inated against on tho ground that he Is certain to
Impart trado socrets to his wife, who, as we all
know, Is equally certain to Impart them In her own
peculiar ways to the world at large.
"The latest employer to Join this unholy league,
against the married man and thus to Increase the
natural perils, of his position. Is Sir Thomas Upton.
His only chance to win the America cup is to pre
serve Inviolable secrecy as to tho design of his new
yacht, and he Is therefore rigid In his decision that
only bachelors need apply for work at his yard.
"Another Impenitent offender In this respect Is
Lord Kitchener, who not only refuses to have any
married man on his staff in time ot war, but who
promptly removes from his stafi any officer gutlty
b'f matrimony "during active service: JU seems, there
fore, that the old charge against women of Inability
to keep a secret must bh enlarged. Not only are they
themselves Incapable of keeping a secret, but they
decline to allow their husbands to do so."
Twice Told Tales
A Soporific.
The late Frederick Weyerhaeuser, who was the sec
ond richest man In the world, had a keen taste for
letters, and attended one evening tho reading of a
play by an amateur.
Tho reading was deadly dull, and Mr. Weyer
haesuer, at the begtnnlng of the third act, slipped
quietly from the drawing room Into the smoking
room that adjoined it. There a footman sat In an
asy chair before tho fire asleep.
Mr. Weyethaeuser shook tho footman by the

ELUCIDATION. . '
I have read of the paths that David loves,
I have pondered them o'er and o'er;
And at last I see why his favorite
Is the path to hla cottage door.
No wonder that smootht well-beaten trail
To his soul seems almost divine;
For that path that leads to his cottage
dooc
Also leads to the "party line."
And since he mentioned that "party lino"
I am not so utterly dense,
But what I see as plain as can be
Why his bugbear is expense.
If he wasn't so busy "llstenln" In"
No don't repeat this, hush!
He might be able to buy for his table
Something better than milk and mush.
t
If his ears weren't alert for the telephone
ring.
I havo no doubt ho would find
A way to earn enough money to buy
A ring of another kind.
