For almost the entire term of the city's life span Mrs. Cuming had mad her home here, living quietly, but always with a keen Interest in the welfare of the community. She will be sadly missed by an Intimate circle of friends, and more especially by that little band ot pioneers who shared with her the privations of beginnings ea the frontier. - Solid for the Future. The Nebraska Historical society Is carrying os a vigorous campaign before the legislature In behalf of an appropriation It desires for the erection of a building which Is to house the su preme court, the state library and the historical society's collection. 8uch a building la an ad mittad neceasity. Its desirability being apparent to anyone who Is at all. familiar with the situa tion, nor Is It wise to much longer postpone the making of provisions tar properly housing thos portions ot the stato government which are in cluded in the pending mesaurs. At present, however, the legislature can 'do no better service to the state than to take the necessary steps to carry out the suggestion made by The Bee for the consolidation of the Univer sity ot Nebraska with-Its necessary buildings, and the buildings needed for state governmental purposes, oa a single campus. It would be neg ligible almost to a point of criminality to con tinue the piecemeal, baphaiard methods of con struction that have prevailed la the past. The lent collection ot buildings on the university campus Is such a snedley of architectural design and constructive effort as must needs bring ,a Wusn to any patriotic cltlsen of Nebraska who looks over the scene. It will sot do to repeat mistakes already made la future construction. Let the present legislature provide for a com prehensive plaa'for future development" ef tho state buildings at the Capital City along lines that will make them a source of pride and In- iplration to the people. Immediate neceasity should be given proper consideration, but greater strees should be laid oa the future, and thouEht should be taken of the Nebraska, not n' iody, but for all comlng generations. A Notable Anniversary. Under normal conditions of life the present month would have featured various publlo exer cises commemorating the close of a century of peace between the United States and Great Britain. The treaty of Ghent, drawn up In the Belgian city now ravaged by war, and signed by the plenipotentiaries on Christmas eve, 1814, officially terminated the war of 1812, though hostilities continued for months afterward, ow ing to the primitive means of conveying news at that time. Fifty-one days elapsed before a ropy of the treaty reached the American govern ment, and official ratifications were exchanged on the fifty-second day, or February 15, 1815. The peace-time program ot exercises for the cen tennial falling on tomorrow purposed the stop page of all activities In the United States and Great Britain for five minutes, during which the people of both nations would engage "In silent trayer and. contemplation." But the stress ot war renders this novel memorial Impracticable and vetoes the companion plan of church exer cises on February 24. ' The occasion and the time equally appeal to Americans for an outpouring of thankfulness. Not only has the country maintained peaceful relations for one hundred years with all nations Involved In the world war, but It has preached the gospel which' it practiced. It counselled peace whenever possible, seeking on all proper occasions the Justice of impartial courts In pref erence to the arbitrament of arms. Now, more than ever before. Is the nation's sincerity under going the test Conflicting interests hedge with perils the highway of neutrality. "National welfare disrupted by foreign strife begets lll-feellng and antagonisms, and the hardships of restricted em ployment Increase the difficulties of the situa tion. ' , 8o far, however, the government has main tained a course clear of all entanglements and upheld the nation's rights with commendable vigor. ' What the Immediate future holds in store for the nation no man can foresee. But knowing the spirit which animated a century of peace, we can -face the future with confidence. Where Our Oorernment Needs Strengthening'. ' Our preaaat syatam stvea US rovarnmant of law yers to an extent known In no other civilised land, and very largely a government of sanond aad third rata lawyers. Lawyers can beat take up and lay down publlo office, but even lawyers of the first rank take office at a personal lota. Inferior lawytre St larger Inoomaa la offloe than in praetloe, and fre quently win new cllanta Prof. Richard T. Ely, In Reviews of Reviews. This observation by Dr. Ely will strike most of us as, alas, too true, although the condition Is not to be specially blamed upon the lawyers, be cause It Is Inherited rather than created by them. The fact that the lawyers take the lead In public Ufa Is due In part to their intimate connection with, the construction and enforcement of the laws, and then to the making ot the laws, and the curing of their defects, to say nothing of their administration. When the principal func tion of tha government was restricted to law making and law-enforcing, the training, of the lawyer was th training needed for the publlo service, and much ot the work of the govern ment, Is even today by Ita very nature absolutely monopolised? by lawyers. Expansion ot government activities, however, has brought In all sorts of new fields of work for which the training demanded la a technical training along other tinea. There is no good reason jv by lawyers should have the preference for places on trade commissions, publlo utilities boards, .railway commissions, boards of control, and similar bodies. Dr. Ely ls'of the c pinion that better results are secured In foreign coun tries which require long and careful study and special training as qualifications for . entering the public' service, and that we will sever match this efficiency until we make these place per manent positions and award honors for distin guished service. Accepting his premise that we are ruled by lawyers, and usually, poorly ruled by lawyers of mediocre ability, however, does not force the conclusion be reaches or prove that there Is only one remedy. It should be possible by publicity and education' to bring the people to exact higher standards jnl their, publle aerr ante without handing the government over to a self-perpetuating class. '' Immigration and Naturalization, Discussion of tha president's literacy test veto evinces a widespread confusion and miscon ception on the subjeot. . Tha most common mis take la that which confounds Immigration and naturalisation, which are completely separate and distinct' Our immigration . laws govern merely the admission of foreign born persons seeking to come to this country tor temporary or permanent residence. Our naturalisation laws lay down rules and requirements to be met later by foreign born residents In order to be come Invested with the full rights of citizenship. The policy of this country ever stnoe the foundation of the republic has been to hold out a welcoming hand to the discontented, oppressed or persecuted ot other lands, demanding only that they be mentally and physically fit. and barring contract laborers, paupers and criminals. For naturalisation, on the other hand, a miml mum term ot residence, and some evidence of appreciation ot our Institutions haa always been exacted. Our present naturalisation law aa tt now stands this part of It having been inserted by former Congressman John L. Kennedy of this district requires a satisfactory literacy test be fore the Judge as prerequisite to the Issue of dtl aeashlp papers. In a word, at present the only possibility of Increase In illiterate vote Is by the addition, not of Illiterate foreigners, but ot illiterate natives. Tf the publlo can be mad to percelv this difference between the conditions of Immigration and ot naturalization clearly, they will see the logic of the president's veto better. . Omaha will feel a deep sense of loa In th death ot Rev. M. P. Dowllng, who tor so many years took a large part In the intellectual ant spiritual life of the community. - Jt was through bis Influence, as much as that of any one man. that the great Crelghton university waa brought to Its completion as a well-founded and highly endowed modern school. Father Dowliag's work In this life is imperishable, for so long as Crelgh ton University continues In Its useful and benefi cial work will Its patrons and graduates recall with gratitude the patient care and devotion of Father Dowllng to the development of this great institution. r Txorom aoiswAm, IN CONNECTION with tha eoaaoltdaUosi movement, one of our early pioneers has raised the quaetton of vested Hants claimed by Florence, which Is a reminder that Florence Is the only one of our numer ous suburba that la older than Omaha, unleaa we call Rellevua a suburb, which la, of course, atlll older. But Dundee, South Omaha, Renaon and Eaat Omaha, were all laid out and promoted by Oinahav jwople and Omaha capital, and with no Intention to detract from Omaha. Florence In ita Inception waa the halting point for tha Mormons in their eroes-eontlnent Journey. It covers the spot where toe Mormon column driven out of Illinois In the fall of IMS hibernated la "Winter Quartere," which, by tha way, la the name the town bears In all the early accounts. It was from this "Winter Quartan" that Brlsiuun Teung set out With hU company ef choaea follow era In the early sprlag of 1M7 on the expedition culminating m the founding of the new "Zlon" la the valley of the Greet Salt lake. It remained a Mormon outfitting atatlo tor some years, and the name waa only afterwards chaarad from "Winter Quarters" to Florenoa. When tha ter ritory of Nebraska waa ersanised. noreno had capi tal ambitions, and waa Omaha's moat formidable competitor in the llaU. According te th gossip of tha day as veraciously handed down, the outcome ef the capital location flsht was determined by the su perior potency of Omaha's real money as against Florence's town lota. By the time the railroads were to be surveyed, Omaha had the center of the map, but why, at tha be sinning, Omaha forsed ahead and grew, while Florence atood still, will always bo aa tneorvt able mystery. There was a day, however, when odds would hare been given that U any annexation ware ever to take place. It would be Florence annexing Omaha, Instead of Omaha annexing Florence. During a pleasant call from Dean Wt ot Prtnoa-' ton the other day, he Inquired about "Billy" Annie's eonnectlon with The Bee, manifesting special Interest In him, and his work out here whtoh he bad taken up almnat Immediately after gradaatlag from Prince ton. "He waa a brilliant fellow In eoHege," said Dean West, "aad we all expected great things of him, and were not wholly disappointed. 1 saw him oo-. cajilonally the last time In New York before he went west to die. It was a real pity that such a career should be cat short by phystolal Infirmities.'

This Na tional Press club is the organisation which haa put on numerous entertanment stunts sooh as Its "Lame Duck" night.
