If you must buy elsewhere, insist on the label of quality: "Made In Omaha." Despite reports to the contrary, the guns ot the Dardanelle forts are not firing peanut shells. Besides the excitement and the exercise ob tained, the Thaw fortune commands a superior lpe of publicity. Let the people rule In Omaha even If they have to go to Lincoln to get "Brother Charley's" permission to do so. The Smiley Glads of minors may rightly view with alarm Senator Lewis taking himself out of the Sunny Jim class. It is apparent from his wired Interview that Vice President Marshall woke at Ogden and took vocal nourishment. Tip to the Nebraska Schoolmasters' club: Take something quick to eliminate the virus ot politics from the system. To an unbiased observer of the proceedings at Lincoln, the lesson of it all is launching argu ment for real municipal home rule. There is no reliable evidence of Representa tive Henry Richmond having kissed the Blarney stone, but he has the goods, Just the same. f tt . j Mayor "Jim" wants It distinctly understood that he never had any objection to a third cup of coffan nor for a fourth cup, for that matter. If the sixty-day respite granted the bakers stretches over primary day and election day, it will afford opportunity for practical reciprocity. The metamorphosis of the electric light bill proves that our Water board politicians can right-about-face as fast as any troops on the firing line. Express companies are pleading for more sugar on both sides of their buttered bread. The sweet tooth develops a ravenous appetite when the sugar barrel is nearly empty. "SSSMBljBJBBaBBtpBBMSBBBBl No protest from any source against the United states meting out due punishment to the passport conspirators. In the light of the evi dence, and their own stories, these fellows did not play straight with anyone. The sale of 137,000,000 worth of New Tork state canal and highway bonds bearing 44 per cent Interest brought a total premium of $9SS, 8S0. The result of the sale proves that the money market has returned to Eaay street. The Steam Behind the Engine. Hailing the victory in the legislature for Greater Omaha consolidation, the official pub lication of the Commercial club Indulges this deserved self-laudation: The Commercial club has always advocated a Greater Omaha, and thla year went strongly on record In favor of tha bill. Tha bill waa Introduced by Sena tor Howell and paaaed the senate with the emergency clause unamended. Too much cannot be said In praise of the work of Gould Diets, O. E. Haverstlck and Randall Brown, the special committee appointed from thla club, and John I Breea, the author of the bill. These men save freely of their own time and energy for the good of Omaha. The officers of the club and a ore a of loyal member have (Ives, at rone support and the name of the Commercial club, representing aa It does the combined business of Omaha, has been a powerful aid In the passage of the MIL TVn out of twelve members of the Douglas county delegation In the houae voted In favor of the bill and worked dili gently to bring about Its puatft. The men who furnished the steam behind the engine that pulled this measure, so Important to the future of Omaha, over the up-hill grade, should not be overlooked In distributing the credit marks. Incidentally, however, let us re mind all Interested that The Bee, alone of all the Omaha daily newspapers, has bee a a con sistent and persistent advocate of Oreater Omaha, and the only practical way to bring it about. The Bee is for the best Interests of Omaha Cleaning the whole people of the entire community which makes up the Greater Omaha -first, last and all the time. Hail, Gentle Spring;. The calendar of the seasons underscores Sunday, March 21, as the opening day of spring, and the hour 11:45 a. ro It is well to record the time precisely lest the official weather man fall asleep at the switch and sidetrack the equi noctial limited. The season brings to all the message of re newed life, of animation and hope. Winter's dullness and confinement gives way to the ac tivities of outdoor life and all nature responds to the vitalising power of eolar heat. Such Is the annual message. Tt Is unchanged this year, hut the perplexities of the times threatens to dull appreciation. The hsvoc and ravages of war, the distress and hnd temper It engenders, touches us In the material as well an In the physical sense. The irritations of material loss are made doubly an noying hy the manner In which they are affected. Vet our Ioshcs are Insignificant, our Irritations are chllrtiRh beside the sufferings and sacrifices of nations at war. As a people e have unequalled reasons for greeting the message of spring with courage aad confidence. We enjoy th Immeasurable bless ings of peace. All over the country factories and workshops are resuming operation. All over the country Increased reserves of banks in sure ample means for financing business and in dustry. The stimulus of moderate-priced ma terial hold out promise of a normal year In building operations. Above all rises as surely as seed time the certainty of a harvest which will afford abundance for home needs and sup ply the food deficits of warring lands: Broadly viewed In the light of actual condi tions, Americans should hall gentle spring and whstever weather variations It brings with hearts of gladness and the spirit of ApgresHlvn, optimism that takes no note of passing clouds. The Public School and Patriotism. Do you ever think that, next to the home Itself, the public school Is thu Krealent factor In our national life, that no other institution so In fluences the' thought and growth of the repub lic? In -none of frs-manlfestatlons Is it more potent, or possessed of greater opportunities, than In that of its teaching of the lessons'essen tlal to the development of the patriotic sense ot the children who are under Its rare. At the meeting of the Daughters of the American Revo lution In Omaha during the week a complalut was made by one of the speakers that the public schools are, not sufficiently diligent in the teach ing of American history. The public school has a great opportunity In the teaching of American history, not to merely Inculcate an Idea of btiVnptlouHness, but to de velop the deeper patriotism, with, the higher motive of making better, Americans out of the children who are growing up. It Is not Jingo ism that should be taught, but an understanding of our institutions' and opportunities. Amer ican history involves in its proper study the his tory of all other countries, the rise and growth of ldess of government,' the evolution ot social and Industrial relations and tbo political devel opment that has marked man's advance. It is not asked that the child be taken along the en tire route, but It should be made plain to tha young mind that history does not consist of e-. citing, and often aporhryphal, tales of battle, or a musty , sequence ot dates and names. Let the wonderfully ' fascinating vista' be opened up be fore the. eyas of the child, and the pursuit of further .knowledge will eagerly follow. No greater prtviogols granted than that pos sessed by the public school teacher in the oppor tunity of shaping the patriotic Impulse of tho children of this country. The more American history is understood by the individual, the bet ter his citizenship. Dilemma of Daniels The present status of the case of the l'rlnr. Ettel Frloderich is giving the secretary of tho navy more worry than he has had at any time since he changed the terminology of the Uih. No doubt Mr. Daniels is eager to do the right thing by his unbidden guest, now In snug quar ters at Newport News, but he does not seem to understand exactly how far he is obligated by the rules of hospitality. In Mr. Daniels' home state It is not the right thing to limit the stay of a visitor, no matter how embarrassing his pres ence may be to the host, but this tolerance Is unrecognized by international law, on the strict observance of which we are Just now so in sistent. 'In the meantime, Captain Thierlchens shows some inclination to flout the Navy department of the United States. ' He has declared on every opportunity his intention of putting out to sea, but has not declared the length of time needed to accomplish repairs essential to his going. It Is the latter neglect that has laid the captain and his good ship liable to detention by the United States, but the captain seems bent on writing a little more International law. lie will find, though, that the spirit of the American1 navy has not entirely died out under the sfften lng Influence of grapejulce, and. that the com manding officers ot the American battleships aro very apt to art on an understanding of Interna tional law that doesn't support his present atti tude. At any rate, It seems time that a little firm ness should qualify the assertion ot American rights, not necessarily to meet the case of the Prins Eitel Frlederlch, but that It may be gener ally understood that the hospitality ot the United States Is not to be wantonly abused by any. A prominent British financial writer pre dicts the war will end in July next from exhaus tion. A former German secretary of the in terior says the kaiser will dictate terms of peace in London two years hence. French and Rus sian prophets have not been heard from lately, but the guessing contest remains open to all comers. Some of the amendments to the electric light bill suggested by The Bee have been accepted by Its sponsors. Every one of them should be In corporated In the measure, particularly the one to keep the employes out of politics. Foreign borrowings of cash tn me New York market are well Into the second hundred mil lions.

For although an easterner, born and bred, Samuel Bowles, sr., had personally explored the west In twj trips! across the continent, and hnd described his ob servations so enthusiastically in the letters written to his paper, and later gathered together and Issued Into a book running through several editions, as to war rant the conclusion that he appreciated the great pos sibilities of this section, as did few others, and was enamored of the country and Its life. In the preface to his bonk, which Is entitled "Our New West." and la accessible In our public library, the occasions of these trlpa are thus explained: "The author has apent two summers m Intimate travel over the regions comprehended In the volume. Tho first (lSrtT,) was before the railroad was begun, when he traveled by atage from the Missouri river to the Pacific ocean, and thence north to Oregon, Washington territory and Puget'a sound: stopping for leisure study of Colorado, of Utah and Ita Mor mons, of Nevada and Its mines: and visiting all the distinctive points of Interest, either for scenery, for business Improvement, or for bocIbI characteristics. Again In 1W.S, he paascd over the then already com pleted railroad to tho crest of the great continental mountain ranges, and, thence descending among the great folda of mountains and elevated peaka that distinguish Colorado, and make It the geographical center and phenomenon of tho continent., spent some weeks In camp life In that future Switzerland of America. The company of so distinguished and popular public) men aa Mr. Colfax, the speaker and vice president, and Lieutenant !overnor Brosa of Illinois, during both summers, smoothed nil our ways, and unlocked for our study all the mysteries of social and business life. Wo were welcomed to generous hospitality of head and heart, and gained at once completest knowledge of the states and ter ritories vletted. Study, then and since, of ell local records and authorities, has completed and kept alive my acquaintance with the growth, character and capacity of thla new kingdom of our continent."

Philadelphia Record: That suggestion of a Boston clergyman that the unem ployed should take off their clothes and parade In the altogether, as a demonstra tion of their sufferings to the public, would be more timely In summer than In chilly March. Boston's east winds are proverbially cold and cutting, especially at thla season. As a practical mcaure of relief the suggestion seems to be on a par with some others of clerical origin. The gentlemen of the cloth too often let their sympathies swamp their common scnte. People and Events DOMESTIC PLEASANTRIES. Penelope My book of dancing rule says, "Ion't hold the lady Po close." Perch al Impos-dble ' --Judge. In the body of the volume Is what la more to the point and more Illuming, a word-picture hy this hard headed New Englander of the then beginnings of Omaha and Council Bluffs, and a survey of the Trogress they had made between 1SGT. the year Mr. Bowles first crossed the continent, and lS'iC. tho year of his second expedition. This account reada aa fol lows: "Omaha In M65. a feeble rival of Atchison, Leav enworth and Nebraska City In outfitting emigrant i and merchandise wagons for Colorado and I'tah, and without a single mile of railroad within one hundred miles, has already become the greatest railroad cen ter of the Missouri and Mississippi valleys. It Is the starting point of the Pacific railroad, which stretches a completed line of eighteen hundred miles west to the Pacific, ocean; to tho east aro two or three completed llnesi of . five hundred miles across Iowa and Illinois to Chicago, and others are In progress; to the south are open roads to St. Ixiuls across Missouri; and. to the north Is' a finished road to Slou City, and fast stretching on to St. Paul. The three great states of tho Mississippi valley, Illinois, Iowa and Missouri, the garden and granary of the nation, and seat of its middle empire, are slashed In all directions by railroad liner, completed or rapidly constructing, meeting aa a western focus at Omaha and Council Bluffs, sister towns on either bank of the Missouri, and converging on the east Into either Chicago or St. Ixul. Their consequent development,- In population and wealth, Is perhaps the most wonderful Illustration of modern Atnerlcan growth. It Is within this area that Now Kngland Is pouring the best of her emigration, and reproducing herself, in energy and Industry and Intelligence, on a broader, more generous and mora national basis. "Council Bluffs, on the Iowa bank of the Missouri river, opened the yer 1 with S,000 Inhabitants, having erected l.SOJ new buildings In ISriR, while Omaha, opposite, counted nearly double that num ber. In both cases the railroads center upon the bot tom lands, but tho beautiful bluffs back and above Invite the living areas of the towns. Council Bluffs Is almost ' hidden amid the folding circles ot Its hills, and has the fascination of mysteries In the distance; but Omaha stands out with bolder and more even front upon a grand amphitheater over the river. Besides the railroads, these towns have a river navigation 8.000 miles north Into Montana and to the British line, and 2,000 miles south to New Orleans and the gulf. "Out now upon the continental railroad. For 600 miles, a straight, level line, across the broad plains along the valley of the Platte. It was but play to build a railroad here. Tet there Is a steady aacent of ten feet to the mile; and for the first 200 nillca the country has the exquisite roll and active fer tility of the low and Illinois prairies. Through this region tho growth of Nebraska shares that of those two states, and she has tho advantage of them, generally. In climate, In water, and In wood." After looking a little further Into the history of the Bowles faintly, and Into this delightful narrative of a delighted traveler, I could understand better the letter I have previousl quoted as penned by Mr. Bowles In answer to his Omaha Invitation. I had said he had brushed It aside "wry gently" and "very politely," and I am Inclined to bvlleve now, also very reluctantly. c4hmi mom mM ru.J At a meeting of the board of managers of the Douglas County Agricultural society Klljaii Allen, ap pointed a committee of one to iatt and confer with th officers ot the different agricultural societies of Saunders.

At Salem. 111., a bulldog bred by a Ger man heard a visitor humming "Tlp pcrary" and took a slice of his pantaloons larife enough to switch the tune. A man In Ohio lived for sixty-two years alone In a house which he built for his bride-torbe, who died Just before the wedding day. He never allowed a woman In the house. A. A. Swingle, who Is 73 yeans old, has been agent for the Western Union Telegraph company at Hancock, Md., for 46 years. He lives almost a mile out of town and walks four miles a day be tween his office and his home, or 1,440 miles a year and has been walking It every day in the year for thirty-five years, a total of 50,400 miles. No more novel method of gold "min ing" has ever come to light than that pursued at a deserted mining camp near Wickes, Mont. It Is the remains of what was once a thriving village at the Gregory mine, and tho sand used In plastering the houses came from ponds rich In gold. Now the old cottages are being torn down and the plaster carefully smelted. Hiram Johnson, a farmer living near Watervllle, N. Y., tells a beautiful tale of how he utilizes the digging propensi ties of three woodchucks which he cup tured. Ho says ho has trained them to dig straight poatholes any depth and size required. Ho explains that he ties a cord to one of the animal's hind legs. Indicates where the hole Is to be dug, and when It is sufficiently deep he pulls the cord. The woodchuck then scram bles up for hie roward of dried alfalfa. MUSINGS OF A CYNIC. When a fellow Is crusty It may be due to the way he was bred. .It la a good plan neither to borrow nor lend where trouble. Is concerned. No fellow Is so sharp that some other person doesn't occasionally sit on him. It Is the constant aim of the chronlo borrower to keep In touch with his friends. It Is quite possible for a man to have a clean-cut look without having sharp features. Many a man Is llke'lils umbrella sel dom in evidence except when he Is under a cloud. It Is possible to entertain an angel un awares, but you can t entertain a bore that way. Unfortunately there are some things that even tho most absent-minded of us can't forget. A man's success sometimes merely means that the world has taken hire at his own valuation. Many a fellow goes through life at such a rapid clip that he hasn't even time to stop and think. It's a good thins; to know when to stop, but quite another thing to take advantage of your knowledge. With some men nothing Is Impossible. Tou will even sometimes see an old bachelor trying to amuse a baby. It may be strictly true that women are more fickle than men, but they certainly have more opportunities. Nor does tho size of the family Bible always indicate the amount of religion there Is In that particular faintly. The Ingenuity that many a man dis plays In dodging creditors would make his fortune In any other tine of endeavor. New Tork Time. TABLOIDS OF SCIENCE.

As tho moon shone bright, Two foxes went out for prey; As they trotted along. With frolic and song They cheered their weary way. Through the wood they went. But they could not Bcent A rabbit or goose nstray; But at length they came To. some better game. In a furmer'a barn by the way. On a roost there sat Some chickens as fat As foxes could wish for their dlnn rs: So the prowlers found A hole by the ground, And they both went In it, the sinners! They both went In, With a squeeze and a grin. And the chickens were quickly killed; And one of them lunched. And feasted, and munched. Till his etomach was fairly filled. The other, more wise. IiOoked about with both eyes, , And hardly would eat at all; For as he came In, With a squeeze and a grin. He remarked that the hole was small. And, the cunning elf. He said to himself, "If 1 eat too much It's plain. As the holo is smaJl, I shall stick in the wall And never get out again." Thus matters went on Till tho night was gone. And the farmer came out with a pole; The foxes both flew. And one went through. But tho greedy one stuck In the hole. In the hole he stuck, So full was his pluck Of the chickens he had been eating He could not get out. Or turn about, And so he was killed by beating.
