Make All Hani Part of a Whole.
Omaha is moving rapidly forward In the way
of developing its strength and importance as a
city, snd In some ways finds that It is hampered
by mistakes made in the past, doe to Inability
to look far enough ahead to see what haa really
happened." Thee mletakes take oh thevform
of piecemeal projects for Improvement, each
sufficient In Itself, but frequently lacking la
elements of harmonious relationship to others,
snd without a general conception looking to the
growth of the city as a whole. 8ome ambitious
plans for changes are being brought forward at
this time, with some show ot urgency in their
support, against which may be .lodged the objec
tion that they are In effect fragmentary and not
parts of a well-rounded-out scheme for city Im
provement The desirability ot these need not now be
debated. The point for consideration is, What
relation do they bear to the comprehensive plan
for a Greater OmahaT The City Planning com
mission hss before It the task of devising some
general system for the physical Improvement of
the . city, both In public and private undertak
ings. This work should be made paramount.
and all plans for changes, no matter by whom
originated, should conform to the general idea.
Tha undertaking Is a large one, fraught with
much of responsibility and of great Import so
far as the future of the city Is concerned. Each
day of growth mukes the Job that much bigger,
and emphasises the need for definite action
along tha line suggested.
In no wsy would It be necessary to hamper
enterprise to achieve the result. A little speed
ing up on the work of the City running com
mission, and a little patience on part ot projec
tors of separate undertakings, might easily
result -la harmony of action that will be of
benefit to all.
As to the Mothers' Pension Law.
Ever since the Nebraska Mothers' Pension
law became operative there has been an almost
continuous controversy over its provisions, par-
tleularly as to the amount ot the allowance to
which applicants may be entitled, and also as to
whether the pension is properly payable' la store-
orders or money. Our county authorities and
tha various judges who have had supervision
have proceeded oa tha theory that the mothers'
pension Is merely a form of administering poor
relief to those who might otherwise become pub-
lie charges, and have established rather strict
rules to safeguard against Imposition and to pre
vent unlimited drafts on the pension fund.
Whether these rules are all necessary and salu
tary has been repeatedly challenged, but usually
only by disappointed beneficiaries.
We note that the same troubles aro besetting
the authorities in Lancaster county, where suit
has bow beea brought to compel tha commission
ers to pay in money a claim of (36 for a month's
pension as decreed by tha court, and tha prom
ise held out that the issues may be contested and
carried to the supreme court for a final construc
tion of the law. We hope this may be dona
without Involving hardship oa tha mother aad
children la tha particular case so that not only
Lancaster couaty, but Douglas county as well,
may know where it is at Incidentally we won
der to what extent thla mothers' pension law is
being availed ot outside of these two big coun
ties ot tha state? we believe It would be
highly desirable for those who were Instrumental
in securing this legislation to check up on its
workings and let us know what, If any, changes
are needed to remedy the complaint lodged
against It.
9nuha's Exposition Still Holds Record.
While other expositions have been larger,
projected oa a grander scale and more magni
ficent la executloa, tha climax betng last struck
by the Baa Francisco effort on which the gates
have Just closed, Omaha's exposition still holds
(he record for paying back the money put in
by the stockholders. San Francisco had to mort
gage its gate receipts to keep in the running, and
celebrated a glorious jubilee when it emerged
from the woods ot debt, but. at that, the best
estimatea of the finances leave It to the good,
about 1 1,600,000, most, it not all, of which Is
sure to be consumed restoring the grounds and
meeting the usual aftermath contingencies. So
far aa any return of the millions invested in
tha Panama exposition by tha stockholders Is
concerned, no one holds out very great expecta
tions. True, Omaha's exposition was a little one by
comparison. But though the conditions here were
almost equally trying with those that beset San
Francisco, careful management in all depart
ments, together with generous public support,
and judicious cutting ot the garment to fit the
cloth produced a balance sheet that enabled
tha Trans-Minsisslppl Exposition company to
return ninety per cent of the stock subscriptions.
In this respect Omaha's record waa not only
unmatched, but nowhere near approached by
any other exposition aver held in this country,
and It Is a page In our history thst must ever
shine forth brightly.
The Sunday Newspaper a Necessity.
Now comes the supreme court of Missouri,
and gives Judicial support to a tact already ad
mitted by the people, that he Sunday edition of
a dally newspaper is a necessity. The court goes
a little further, and points out that on no other
day of the week does the newspaper come nearer
filling Its proper function than on Sunday. It
Is on that day people have the most leisure time
to devote to tha perusal ot Its columns, to enjoy
Us msnifold attractions, and to assimilate Its
meesage.
This hss long been known to the editors aad
publishers of the country, who have for many
years bestowed especial pains oa tha preparation
of the Sunday edition, to the end that It may
deserve the scrutiny to which It Is certain to be
subjected. While the court's decision will bring
little of information to the newspaper offices, it
Is valuable because of the effect It may have on
some who have habitually pretended to consider
the Sunday newspaper as something that could
aa well be dispensed with.

I WAS over at Chicago a wWa afo for tha first na
tional convention of tha National Beeurtty laue
which, takea altonather, was attended by a very
rrpraaentatlva act of men from all parte of tha coun
try, and I waa mora than urprtaed at the exceptional
Interest that haa been developed In tha subject of pre
paredness. Tha addreaaea and dehatea. it la trua,
brouaht out a wide ran Co ef opinions aa to tha degree
of preparedness which tha country needs, and as to
tha details of a possible preperedneaa program, but
perhapa no mora ao than would any live subject on
which wa era short of full information and awalttns"
expert advice. Tha meeting disclosed navy enthusiast
and aviation devoteea, regular army champions, fiwls
system advoratea and military defenders, each cock
cure his preference- la tha main key to tha aoluUon ot
tha problem, but all agreed that what must now be
dona Is to get a good start, headed In tha right direc
tion, and work out one move at a time.
At tha banquet tendered by tha Chicago branch of
tha league, I waa seated between Bishop Burka of
St. Joseph, who Invoked tha blessing, and General
Luke Wright of Tennessee, whose speech made tha
chief hit of tha evening. Bishop Burka proved to be
a benevolent, mild-mannered churchman, who had
eo roe from Ireland with his parents to Chicago as a
mere lad, and ha told ef the almost Inconceivable
changea he saw when revisiting tha olty and recalling
his early familiarity with It. Ha said, tor example,
there waa but one paved street in Chicago when he
arrived and explained tha difficulties encountered a
llttla later In choosing a location for a churoh, now
In the heart of tha business district, for fear It would
be too far out of tha way. 1 understood him to aay,
also, that Chicago today haa. mora Catholic churches
than any other city In the World, and that one parish,
tha center of tha Polish population, contains ever
fs.000 Cathollca. Bishop Burke's first episcopacy was
as bishop of Cheyenne, a place now occupied by an
Incumbent furnished by Omaha, Bishop McOoverfi, and
ha Inquired personally about Bishop Bcannelt, tha
Crelghtons, John A. McShane and Thomas C. Byrne
among his Omaha friends.
For a man almoat 70, General Luke E. Wright la a
marvel of virility. Ha divulged soma unpleasant
trutha about tha so-called great battles of our civil
war; for example, In the first Bull Run, which waa
nothing but a mob tight, that both aide thought
themselves whipped and It was only a question of
which started tha foot race first and kept It up long
est . He paid his oompllments particularly to Colonel
Bryan's Idea ef a nation rising up ever night In a re
sponse to a call for volunteers to drive off an Invader.
"It might be possible and probable," said ha, "that
Mr. Bryan could aummon LOOO.0W man. between sunrise
and sunset,, but wa wouldn't have the arms to equip
them If ha had that much good luck. And they
wouldn't know what to do with their arms and ac
coutrements It they could b supplied. Mr. Bryan,
indeed, might read to them tka Sermon on tha Mount
and urge them to refer any: difficulty which mlgot
have called them out to The Hague court, but I doubt
ven that"
Two other Interesting speakers were Colonel La fa
Young of Iowa and ex-Governor Van Sent of Minne
sota, tha former depleting In graphic language his per
sonal observations of the Balkan war, and the latter
drawing on Ms experience as a civil war soldier.
Governor Van Bant Is also a grand old man. confess
ing to 71 years, but with mora fir In him than most
people of halt that ag. Speaking to me, he was solici
tous about hi brother and hi niece, the Van Sent
of Omaha. Still another pleasant renewal of acquaint
ance wa that ot Rev. John Gordon, who will be re
membered as pastor of the Westminster church here
and president of the Omaha Theological seminary,
whence he went to Tabor college and from there to
the presidency of Howard university In Washington,
from which he ha sine retired and la now living in
Naw Tork City. He was at the Chicago meeting with,
his son., who Is enlisted In the local security league.

FhaU sorrow reign, or pleasure
Or each m equal measure
.Hold for a space full sway?
Hnall we have power to change thee.

Till Time itself eatrnnre thee.
And thou be yesterday?
Have all our daya, now ended.
To thy upbuilding tended?
Hast tbou on us derenJed
For wh-t thou art to be?
Or from Time s far beg'nning
Hast thou thy way been winning
With changeless rcerd of sinning,
Of pain and ecstasy?
Thou seemest vast, Tomorrow,
And from the past of sorrow
,We come at last to borrow
Some solace from thv acope.
For when, from Eden faring.

God saw' all.-woe, and, caring,
Bestowed the boon of hope.
