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.

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."

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.

THE GREEDY FOX.
Author Unknown.
On a winter's night.
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.
