Colonel Bryan persist! In Issuing "state

of an audience.
Still, If gobblers Insist on flying too high, a

War Is the best excuse In sight for boosting

1 . .
The most argent need of the times, empha
sised by recent deadly fires, la not Investigation
ufter the tragedy, but building Inspection that
rsfeguarda life regardless of cost. '
Exercising the mailed fist on newspapers is
not a new or exclusively royal function. Uncle
Sam showed considerable efficiency in that line
when forced to it during the civil war.
This scheme to work the city prisoners on
the streets will not be popular with the sheriff
not if it keeps them out of his Jail-hotel and
cuts down the profits on feeding them.
The little boy's copybook says that every
lad born on American aoil may aspire to be
president of this great republic. The actual
number of White House occupants, however,
ran be easily added up on the fingers without
counting any finger more than three times.
Merely as a reminiscence It would be In
structive to secure a census of the Bryan volun
teers who pulled off the "home-coming" of
106, and determine how many would attend a
similar function today. By common consent
the chairmanship of the census committee goes
to Mayor "Jim."
According to our amiable democratic con
temporary, everybody is at work and there is a
shortage of labor. Still, we have had more
men and women applying to us for employment
daring the past month than for several months
preceding, and they all tell the same story of
inability to find the work they need. It must,
then, be only in the newspaper business that
there are more people than Jobs.
Building Reitrictioni and City Planning.
The first move Incident to the creation of a
tUy planning board has been to place restric
tions on the character of buildings to be erected
in one section of the city. Similar restrictions
I ave heretofore been made In other sections
through conditional deeds to property when land
lies been platted, and the results In obtaining a
measure of regularity, harmony of design and
exclusion of incongruous elements are manifest
to even the casual observer. If such restrictions
lave proved valuable where voluntarily under
taken, their extension to districts where- some
of the property owners are unwilling will In
time work wonders In creating a more beautiful
city.
Probably In no place in the world has public
supervision of buildings and other Incidents of
a city's growth been carried so far as In Buenos
Ayres, where advance official approval must be
iind on architectural plans of both residences
. end business structures. In American cities it
is not uncommon to see buildings really artistic
in themselves so discordantly grouped as to be
i rally grotesque, ir not ugly. In the Argentine
t.'ty nothing of this kind would be possible ex-
rpt through the gross incompetency of the
mithoritles. Architectural design there is not
confined to a flat uniformity, but must be bar
iiionlous, and as a result, travelers acclaim the
rgentlne capital the most beautiful of modern
cities. That the American public would submit
to as far-reaching and ironclad restrictions is
doubtful, but there Is so much room for im
provement In our city building that the genera
tions to come will hold us blameworthy if we
continue to neglect our opportunities.
Where Co-operation is Lacking.
One of the telling points made by former
Senator Burton in both of his addresses in
Omaha, and one which cannot be too often re
peated or too r nerRetlcally ured. Is the need
of greater Individual Interest and personal par
ticipation by the citizen In public affairs.
Everyone cannot have his voice heard In the
determination of national Issues, and perhaps
not in the discussion of state matters, but
everyone can manifest a concern In subjects of
Immediate local and municipal moment. A
niectiiiK was held last week at the Instance of
the Commercial club to debate a question that
pees to the foundation of our relations to pub
lic service' corporations, but scarcely fifty peo
ple were present In addition to the members of
the committee, and not a single representative
of the improvement clubs and civic associations,
whirh had been specially Invited. We recall
that when the charter convention was In ses
sion and citizens generally were urged to ex
press their views and make suggestions, very
few paid any attention to the invitation, not
even the Commercial club Itself. It is this con
dition of indifference and apathy, which seems
to be chronic, that Is the cause of so much
"after-the-fact" complaint about things done by
public servants In a way that does not suit the
critics. Our public officers, and particularly
those charged with our municipal government,
have a right to have more co-operation from the
II liens for whom they are working
Exports of Pure-Bred Stock.
American stockmen are now reaping a
reward In an entirely unexpected way for their
tfforts to build up the quality of their live
stock. Up to recently the United States has
i-tver been looked to by breeders In other lands
for anything except horses in the driving and
hurness racing classes, In which latter fields it
has for many years been pre-eminent. For the
best In cattle and draft horses the sewer coun
tries of the world have always looked to Europe,
the United States among the rest. So persist
tntly has this country followed the practice of
Importing the best In this line from Europe
that Its horses and cattle have been bred up to
a high standard, and as a result, now that the
war Interferes with European exportatlons, the
roople in other countries have turned to the
United States and find here Just what they
vunt.
No country In the world is better adapted
to raising such stock than the United States
and with the long years of building up the
quality of breeding 'animals it is not unreason
able to believe that when conditions which
compelled outsiders to seek this market have
passed away this most profitable business
cennot only be retained, but increased. The ad
vantages which accrue from such a business are
manifold. Not only is there profit in it, but It
Is an incentive to still further improve the live
stock and gives the farmer a direct and added
Interest In the foreign trade of the nation.
There Is no good reason why the United
Ftates should not be the world's leader In
quality as well as quantity in live stock pro
duction and noth'ng is lacking now except a
more general attention to scientific methods.
The complaint In. Europe for years has been
that the United States was robbing, through
purchase, thefold countries of the best of their
live stock, and certainly this has laid the
groundwork for a great exporting industry, ,
Liberty Bell Enroute Home.
After being exhibited at the San Francisco
exposition, the historic Liberty bell Is now
enroute to its home In Independence hall in
Philadelphia. The peoples of the world have
always been devotees of symbolism and, as a
general proposition, the more thoroughly ideal
lstlo a people the greater the Influence of sym
bols. Communities and individuals therefore
which adhere most closely to the ideals which
this historic bell symbolises havo shown the
greatest interest in it during its travels. With
out a knowledge and appreciation of its sym
bolism, the old bell would scarcely be an at
traction to any but the Junk man, yet in the
estimation of patriotic cltisens of the United
States it Is the roost valuable piece of metal In
the world, for it stands as the emblem of the
charter of our liberties. That transporting it
from place to place is taking a risk cannot be
questioned, but to many who have witnessed
the influence upon the millions who have thus
been given an opportunity to 'see it, its influ
ence in quickening patriotic sentiment la
deemed smple recompense for the risk. To
those of our cltlsenshlp whose, ancestry and
traditions lead back to the days when the bell
first pealed its notes of liberty it probably has
a more Intimate personality, but from the man
ner ' of its reception it can well be doubted
whether it carried to those any deeper meaning
than to the great mass of more recent arrivals
on our shores. While everyone who reveres the
reUc will feci easier when it has reached its
permanent home, thoughtful observers see that
its travels have carried home a valuable lesson.
Motion Pictures and Crime.
The motion picture has entered a new field
of usefulness for the detection of criminals,
lor years identification has been accomplished
mainly by photographs, measurements and
thumb prints, but it often happens that when
the identity of the perpetrator of a crime is
known, or good descriptions of him are availa
ble, no photographs can be obtained serviceable
for familiarising police officers all over the
country with his appearanoe. The Chicago
I'Oiire have sought to fill this gap by the motion
Iicture and every day the flotsam and jetsam
that passes through the police court is being
paraded before the motion picture camera and
tlie films preserved. From the very nature of
things the major portion of these pictures will
pever be utilized, but a study of them from day
to day and the recurrence of the same people
v-ill familiarize the police with the faces of
those who come often to the police court mill,
rud Just when a face that is wanted can be
picked from the mass no man can tell. Per
a.rtence In the plan will in time produce a gal
lery of police character faces impracticable to
obtain In the ordinary way. As yet the scheme
has not been tried except in Chicago, but If the
I opes of its sponsors materialise every metro
politan police department will eventually have
its motion picture operator.

NK.AKL.Y twelve years" aervlce on the Public
Library board, created an Intereat In the growth
and usefulness of that Institution, which haa not
fin It Red since I severed official connection with It, and
1 have kept more or less In touch with the library,
and with library people. For the first time In It
history the library will next year hava sufficient re
sources to branch out and expand Its activities, ant
make Itsrlf more of factor In the Intellectual life
of the community than it ever has been.
Talking to Miss Tobltt, the librarian, not Ion
aso, I made a suirireatlon which aoemed to strike her
favorably, which 1 hope may be carried out. the Idea
having come to me from the unique Installation of
the Juvenile books In the new Matthews book store,
devised by Mrs. Matthews, who planned everything- 'n
thla department specially to appeal to the little ones
and make them feel at home. If a commercial estab
lishment find It to advantage to cater to the children
by making a coy alcove of books for them, why
should not our Public library, whose chief function
Is to Instill In young; folks an appreciation of good
literature and a love of books? My advice to Miss
Tobltt. therefore, was for a complete revolution oi
the children's room In the PuNIo Library. Why
should not tha youngsters patronising the library
hava a room not only their own, but equipped and
furnished with a view to making It comfortable for
them and making them want to stay In It? True, the
children's room now there la. and haa been for some
time, fitted up with child's else tables and chalra, and
the walls are embellished with pictures of subjects
within tha child's conception but that Is about as fnr
as the differentiation has gone. Why not, I asked,
make It Into a real living room with some easy chairs,
and comfortable aetteea. If not upholstered rockera.
Instead of tha hard-bottomed, straight-back chairs,
ranged round table stiffly aet In rows? Who ever
sits at a table now-a-dys, anyway, unless he uses
the table to make notes? People uaed to read at
tables because tha tables held the lampaj and now hero
else was there light enough to read by. Uncomforta
ble chairs and desks may be all right for a school
room where uniformity and discipline Is neoessary. but
they are not necessary In a reading room.
Tha furniture la not tha only thing, either, that
makes attractiveness In a room, for rugs, carpets,
pleasing pictures and ornaments and hangings, con
tribute to a well-appointed living room or library In
tha home, and would also help mightily In tha juvenile
part of a public library. And If comfort should prove
a stimulus to tha uaa of tha library by tha children,
perhaps It could later be extended to tha reading and
reference rooms reserved for tha adults. Mora than
this. If such an Innovation should work out wail here
In Omaha, It would be taken up by libraries In other
cities, and start something worth while.
Another suggestion I have made would make avail
able for library uaa a lot of valuable space In tha
basement it ought not to be called a basement, for
It la entirely out of grounA now required for tha
heating plant With tha completion of tha new Grain
Exchange building on tha oppoalta aide of Nineteenth
street It would pay tha city to enter Into a contract
for the heating of tha library building front the
ataam boilers In the offloa building. Though speak
ing wholly without authority In tha matter, I have
not the slightest doubt that the Drain Exchange peo
ple can supply the heat for the library at a profit
for leas than tt is costing the library to heat Its ewn
building now aqd eliminate all the bother of coal
and ashes and boiler risk and repairs, Inasmuoh as
the library haa no elevator service, X am not sure but
wnat i ravor putting the children's room, with the
new furnishings I have outlined. In thla basement
space, and thus do away with having tha younntara
run up and downstairs constantly as they do now.

Philadelphia ledger: Some churches
expect the minister to be ut the beck and
call of every member in unrpcompensed
rervlces of a secular nature similar to
these wherein none would think of ask
ing doctor or lawyer to otflclnt without
a fee. In many churches It la not nov
elty, but "low-doan. ordinary" meanness
that sets the pastor's salary at a figure
Immorally small. The Massachusetts

their 3?S pastors are paid leaa than 11.000.

wave
Never the swallows glide.
Flowerless glimmers Ita pallid edge,
Treeless shimmers its sheen;
Nowhere its shallows are set with sedee.
Nowhere with rushes green.
Salt from Its birth in the marsh of
wrong. '
Bitter with tribute rills,
Ita home Is not In the sear. Its song
ts not of the blue hills.
Shrouded In mist, It makes Ita moan
Of the burden of. mortal years,
Like the cry of a child, in the night
alone;
And men have called It Tears.
