WhiUier.
"Old Man Winter" seed not linger longer.
And one reverend political sky pilot In the
list
When you write to tbem, tell them to "8top
off ia Omaha."
Tb,e first plank la the socialist platform a
borne rule charter has our endorsement
The beat atart to make Omaha beautiful Is
for everyone living In Omaha to start to beautify
his own place.
(It must be almost an even bet which Is the
biggest risk going down with a subsea or going
up 4a an airship. '
A few personal Injury verdicts like that)
ought to make Omaha the favorite Jurisdiction
in which to bring damage suits.
Carrying salvation to the heathen la the Ot
toman empire is as perilous to lite as preaching
the gospel in Mexico.
By last report America's cash contributions
to the relief of Belgium total $e, 200,00. . Our
reputation for lavish generosity naturally makes
"passing the hat" one of t&e great Industries of
the year.
, It. is well enough to be reminded occasionally
that "the public school is the mainstay of the
republic." But don't forget, either, that "the
American, home Is the safeguard of American
liberties." . r 1 '
la pressing for higher tariffs on household
iiecessitles railroad managers throw discretion
to the winds. It is dlfflculi to see how an era
of good will can be advanced by direct attacks
on Individual purses, such as advanced coal rates
implies.
How do the business men of Omaha like the
way certain newspapers that pretend to stand up
for Omaha are throwing brickbats at the Greater
Omaha movement? Are the folks who put ob
stacles in the path of Omaha's progress to get
away with It? .

Immolation of Immortal. ' v
Our state senators have reluctantly agreed
to fix April 8 as the date of final adjournment
Of the legislature. The agreement is a distinct
concession to the urgent demands of the larger
body. In one respect it is a sacrifice on the pert
of the senators, and explains why they hesitated
to consider the subject at all.
The sacrifice which the senators make in
agreeing to go home for good cannot be appre
ciated in the full without a close inspection of
the senate chsmber. Art finds in It a fitting
abode. The decorative scheme is a succession
of inspiring thrills so Impressive, la fact, that a
first-time visitor to the chamber runs the risk
of speechless wonderment Here and there the
glow of moreing colors radiates from a master
ful brush. Ancient history peeps through the
dim vistas of Egypt's pyramids, and modern en

"Unlucky"' Submarines.
From Honolulu comes another thrilling chap
ter in the story 'of the submarine, embellished
vlth a statement that this particular vpel was
'unlucky." Danger Is always present in this
type of flshting craft, which marks in Itself
man's defiance of, certain natural limitations .to
his sphere of activity. How much of this dec
f?er Is due to man himself will never be deter
mined. Some of It must ever be charged to the
determination of those on bosrd to "make a
record." Rlvslry between crews in the navy,
extending to both officers and men, Is intense,
and always they are milling "to take a chance,"
even though It may lead to something that wll!
Mirpass the limit of ssfety.
t'nder water navigation is still in the develop
ment stage, and the officers and crews of the
submsrines are picked men, r.honeu for their
skill and resource In face of danger. While
they are trained to the utmost in the require
ments of their calling, the human factor stl'l
controls, and the ambition to achieve still lures
man to death, both above and below the water.
Yet these men do not venture their lives In
vain. Death has ever been the portion of In
trepid adventurers In tropic Jungles and in are
tic wastes; In the laboratory and In the open
field. The lessons that man has learned, th)
secrets he has wrung from nature, have been
paid for by lives of the daring. And these deaths
that point the road to progress serve only to en
courage others to follow, it Is the subllmstlou
of life to die that others may have advantage.
The submarine may be "unlucky," but those
hardy sailors who venture in It below the sur
face are serving humanity by finding out rules
for the guidance of subsea navigators.
Freedom Academic and Otherwise.
That there are two sides to the question of
academic freedom, defined more in detail as
"liberty of thought, freedom of speech and se
curity of tenure for teachers," la plainly to be
seen from the preliminary report of the Joint
committee to look. Into this subject appointed by
the American Economic association, the Amer
ican Sociological society and the American Po
litical Science association, the report being made
some time ago, but only now available in printed
.form.
The right of the college proressor to disclose
the results of his study and research, no matter
how at variance with previously accepted doc
trine, no one deniea any more than bis right to
attend his own church or to affiliate with his
own political party. Where academic freedom
has been invoked by college professors who have
gotten into trouble by too loose talking has usu
ally been where they have expressed opinions
regarded aa subversive of true morals, sound
politics or the real basic interests of the institu
tions furnishing their bread and butter, The
committee report Intimates that in most In
stances the difficulty has arisen less from the
opinions expressed than from the Questionable
propriety of the method of expressing them.
One suggestion, however, invites decided ex
ception that a distinction should be made be
tween' opinions disseminated in the class room
or lecture hall and those blazoned on the out-
aide. 1 "Discussions in the class room." aava the.
report, "are not supposed to be formal utter
ances for the public at large. They are often
designed to provoke opposition or to arouse de
bate. . There should be no room for sensational
newspaper Quotations from such remarks. In
foreign countries it Is a misdemeanor to publish
or otherwise to quote a university lecturer with
out his consent. Ought not such a practice to
be observed In thla country?"
' This query proposes the' amailng contradic
tion that to safeguard academic freedom we
should infringe on the freedom of the press. It
goes without saying that what is told students In
the class room cannot be kept from circulating
outBlde of the class, room, and it a professor
makes sensational or idiotic remarks to his stu
dents, how can be be assured of protection,
whether they find their way Into the newspapers
or not? If Instruction in the class room Is to
be Invested with an Impenetrable veil of secrecy,
Incalculable harm may be dona without any op
portunity to offset it.
With due respect to the distinguished mem
bers of the committee on academlo freedom,
from whose report we have quoted. The Bee Ten
tares to champion the view that the safety valve
of publicity is as Important for the class room
aa for the rostrum, and that the freedom ot the
presa in lta broadest scope Is as vital to individ
ual liberty aa is academlo freedom.
The Massacre at Gnlpgihan.
The deplorable affair reported from northern
Persia, where a massacre of Christiana by aavagt
Kurds took place, is an incident of the war made
doubly interesting in the United Statea by reason
of the tact that several naturalised American
eitUena were slain, or maltreated. The exposed
situation of the mission at Oulpaahaa puts It al
most out of the reach of protection from any
civilised power except Turkey, and that country
la at war with most ot the great powers of the
world. The Kurds, nominally Under Turkish
control, are the Apachea of western Asia, and
held to little discipline.
The French and Russian subjects involved la
the massacre are enemy aliens, and aa such will
be considered by the Turkish government, it Is
quite likely that the attacking tribe did not un
dertake to discriminate between the ritlsenshlp
of the Christiana being slain, nor la it probable
any distinguishing mark would have afforded
aafety. The niceties of civilised warfare have
beea frequently Ignored by the polished nations
of Iste. and It Is too murk to export that savages
such as the Kurds will be over fartlcular In the
tract ice of slaughter aad ratlae.

CHANGE of ownership within a fortnlsht of the
two corner of the hlock between Sixteenth ar.d
Seventeenth street, facing Famam. for a com
bined conelriVratlon nesTes-ntlng- well above a million
dollar Is cauntn more talk alut the wonderful
srniwth of Omaha than any other elnsrle rovent hap
pening. Theen ealea are taken aa forerunners of Im
provements that will moke old-tlmera elt up and take
notloe, and would IllHt irane of aetontuhment from
the early settlers who uned to make their homes In
that vicinity If they are still alive. Thla particular
square was diagonal from the dwelling where our
family waa eatubllahed. long alnne become part of the
alt of the Bee building. On tho Heventeenth Btreet
corner comprised In tho Joelyn purchase stood a
square houae occupied by the B"rley. and Immedi
ately eat of that waa the Pweoxy home. I think
there were one or two small rented cottage on the
lot adjolnuig, while tha Hoard of Trade corner was
. i..,M."U vy a lire engine house I believe t was
called Engine Ilouee No. 3 though It housed, In ad
dition to the No. S Engine aJid Hose company, the
No. 1 hook and latdder. Coma to think of It. that
was the only hook and ladder apparatus In the city
at the time. Tha butlding was well back from Far
nam atreet toward the alley, and waa surmounted
with a cupola In which the fire bell waa placed, and
this bell sounded out all tha alarms, to say nothing
of ringing at atated hours to a rve householders as a
dinner bell. Tho first tap of tho gong meant that all
tha boya Within hearing raced aa fast as they could
go to Sixteenth and Farnam to watch the fire horses
make a flying start on the way to the conflagration.
The, Harney atreet tide of the square was also oc
cupied by dwelllngs-the Sixteenth street corner by
the M'Ubura, west of thorn the Nashes, and still
further west the Rustins.
The removal of the Board of Trade building takes
away tha oldest structure that haa remained on the
block, all tha resldVncea having been either torn down
or transplanted to outlying locations.
Talking to 1 1 irry Iwrle the other day. he told
ma that the Board of Trade building waa ona of the
first on whose plans ha worked when he made hi
advent to Omaha aa an aaslstant to Mendelsohn. Who
waa the architect Ha added tha Information that
the original specifications left the top two storifS
alternative because of a shortace of funda in sight,
and that only by scraping up more money did It la
como possible for the bulldera to go on to tho full
height.
All the friends of Gerrlt Fort here are sorry to have
him go away from Omaha, even though the going
may be bot another atop In his upward climb of the
railway ladder. I told him aa much while congratu
lating him on being called to a wider field with
larger opportiinltlea for hla special talents. The last
tlm, Mr. Fort took his departure from us he went
to New York to become assistant to tho president of
tho New York Central. Whon he returned he carae
back to tha headship of the passenger traffic of the
Union Pacific, and now he ia spreading out to tako
over the supervision and control of the passenger
business of the whole system. Mark my word that
Mr. Fort will be climbing again before very long.
It is notworthy how many of tha railroad men who
have had their training here In Omaha occupy con
spicuous positions In tha railway world.
An article In tho current issue of the American
Maailne entitled "A College Professor With Punch."
has a peraonal Interest for me. being, as It Is an
ulojietle sketch of Prof.. Richard T. Ely. director of
the department of political economy at the Univer
sity of Wisconsin, under whom I studied while ho
waa a professor at Johns Hopkins university. Tho
author calls attention to the faot that Prof. Ely waa
at ona time Instructor to Woodrow Wilson In econo
snlca, and citea a numerous list of former pupils
prominent' In the publio eye. Prof. Ely waa as
sociated at Johns Hopkins with Prof. Herbert B,
Adams, and when the latter died a memorial volume
was taaucd. compiling the bibliography of the literary
and research efforta ef all the men who had been
enrolled under him, and it constituted a moat Im
posing display. That list could be duplicated for
Prof. Ely. for practically all of Prof. Adams' atu.
dents likewise took courses In economics, and If
brought forward by adding the work of those who
were pupUs of Prof. Ely since hla transfer to the
University of Wisconsin, it would be doubled and
trebled, and present an am axing chart of the wide
spread Influence that can radiate from ' one en
thusiastic . and Inspiring teacher.

aisrmed New Tork preacher, who doesn't
realise that if best society should cave in
and disappear vigorous Americans would
hardly miss It.
Philadelphia Ledger: Rev. Dr. Lichllter
says advertising increased tha attendance
of his Ht. IkuIs church from 150 to (TO
and the annual collections from M.onn to
$13,000. Very good. The call of the day
la lo put religion Into business. Why not
carry business Into religion? The church
should use every means that Is good, and
advertising I the live force of the times.
Brooklyn Eagle: The message ot Billy
Sunday is the message of all evangelism.
In homely, often grotesque language, but
always earnestly, he demands the merg
ing of self in the Divine Will. Thomas
a Kem. pls formulated that Idea; sug
gested by the words of the Master Him
self. It does not belong to Sunday. It
doe not belong to Protestantism. Strictly
and scientifically speaking It does not
belong to Christianity exclusively. It
omes closer than any other Idea to be
ing tho keynote of all religion.
rittsburgh Dispatch: Too large a pro
portion of too many congregations fall to
give proper thought to how the pastor is
to live. There la too general a tendency
to trust to Providence to provide for Hla
servant, too much thoughtless faith In
the ravens feeding Elijah, too ready hark
ing back to the hand-to-mouth existence
of the Apostles. The question comes to
Just this: If the church Is worth any
thing to you, if you care anything about
worship and ministrations, you ought to
be as ready and willing to pay for those
privileges snd the support of those Insti
tutions as for any other. If the cost of
living has hit you hard, think how it must
have hit the pastor and his family. The
laborer Is worthy ef his hire, snd surely
this should be specially true of those who
labor in the Lord's v..ievsrd.
