Salary arrangements for the captains of the icace movement having been fixed up, the vocal niBchine will presently speed, up on the high iluuli. The .forthcoming meeting of the Nebraska Historical society reminds us that our state Is Just reaching the point where we have history behind us as well as of in front of us. The wisdom of self-rentraint In Oreece and Kou mania grows more luminous as the daya pass. The efficiency of the Teutonic road roller In Serbia conveys a message that does not re quire 'an interpreter. Members of organtted labor throughout th country are called on to donate an hour's wages for the relief of the Danbury Hatters next week. This will be a rest test of the solidarity of or ganized labor, and the returns will be watched with interest. The celebrated Bryaa peace treaties provide for a year of conversation before a warlike movement. Respect for the family tradition BO doubt inspires .Brother Charley's successive hunches to democrats to mount the water wagon and save funeral expenses.

In the primary election of next April. Where the Danger Lies. It la the Judgment of a keen observer who has been traveling extensively about the country that the United Btates has far lees to fear from any divided allegiance of so-called hyphenated Americans than we have from the Indifference of our own native-born cltitens to the needs of the nation. And on reflection It stands to reason that the man or woman who deliberately re nounces all that is near and dear in the father land to seek a new home on a free soil with greater opportunities and promise has at least submitted to a trying test of patriotism and loyalty which those on the same social and in dustrial level over here never have occasion to withstand. It Is regrettably true that altogether too many o; our own people are Ignorant of the h'story of our republto that though they may have mem orised certain days and names connected with Its salient events, they have no adequate con ception of the sacrifice of life and property, of the hardships endured and of the heavy burdens Incurred, to make good that Declaration of Inde pendence about which we are prone to speak so glibly and to which we feel that we prove our devotion by setting off a few rockets and burn ing a little red fire once a year It Is equally deplorable that too many of our own people, even those whose forebears an swered the call for volunteers, are wholly for getful of the frightful outlay required to pre serve and perpetuate the union which the fathers had founded as the bulwark of Uberty and the refuge from old-country monarchical oppression. These priceless heritages seem to have come tr. the present generation without effort and, like things that cost little, are little appreciated and little prized. To the foreign-born American, on the other hand, our free institutions represent the pangs of broken family ties, savings labori ously hoarded to pay the passage to America, strenuous years devoted to learning a new tongue and fitting in with the new life. What ever else may he said against the hyphenated Americans, they cannot as a whole be truthfully charged with wilfully shirking their duties of citizenship, though they might well have a vivid excuse. The native-born American, stubbornly indifferent to everything on which depends the nation's welfare and careless as to whether Its honor Is maintained or Its prestige among na tions is upheld, is a mighty poor American, a poorer American than his hyphenated fellow citizen, sympathising with his kith and kin In the deadly trenches, yet thanking Ood that he is living under the Stars and Stripes and ready to defend them agatnst the world. . To hold his natural position of vantage, the native-born American must become Imbued with the true spirit of the republic and rouse himself to a fuller realization of what American citizen ship is.' City Manager and the CitUeas. While In Omaha Editor Allen of Wichita sketched for our admiration an alluring picture of municipal biles In Dayton, flowing from the presence and activltUs of a city manager, en dowed with wisdom and clothed with plenary power to enforce his will and carry out his plans. The idea exemplified in the city manager form of government Is not new. German and other European cities have long been governed after this autocratic fashion, which Is undoubtedly capable of producing a high quality of admlnis tratlve efficiency, but which always has about it some elements of danger not usually paraded by its champions. The question of its application to American cities has frequently been discussed, and It has found ardent champions among those averse, for diverse reasons, to assuming the cltlsen'i full share of communal responsibility. Aa yet the answer returned with few exceptions hae been negative. Our people are neither duller, nor less patriotic than those of the older countries, nor da we entirely abandon the conduct of our municipal housekeeping to the uncertain ways of l-artisan politics. Americans are restless, ener getic, impatient, and maybe less thrifty and provident tlan Europeans, with a fixed desire to muddle along tbeir own affair la their own way. That great cities have sprung up and thriven under this system may not be sufficleat aaawer to the advocates of tbe oca-man plan, hut It suggests that the people have not always been t-iitiely wrong. Many changes hare been made in Omaha's 'orui of government, a proof that Its cltlxens are uvt rooted to any one Idea, but are progressive, though it will probably be some time before they aorrender all power and authority Into one man's ), an 1 His Majesty the Rot;. While Fred Coburn's panegyric on the hog may sound Just a trifle fanciful, as It tbe great agricultural realist had for a moment taken advantage of the poetic license be always car ried with hlra, no truth was ever more plainly tcld than In Mr. Coburn's summing up of the virtues, the advantages and the accomplish ments of his majesty, the hog. .Best sellers are full of cattle barons, and even the puree proud flock master occasionally gets look In for bis woolly beasts, but since tbe days of Ourth the Swineherd, no owner of real pigs baa figured In literature. The Parker variety Is not the kind we're talking about. While steers and aheep fill the gaps in galloping romance, awlne fill the larder, feed the multitude and turn the neglected trifle about tbe farm into cash that will be accepted at the bank. Lifting the mort gage Is the best thing the modern porker does, Just aa his Ill-favored progenitor used to find his forte in lifting the gate. From haaelsplltter and ratorback to Duroc and Jersey la not such a far cry, but a world of effort aroeasurea the distance In utility. Mr. Coburn performed a belated but nevertheless genuine service in pin ning the medal on the hog. Chivalry of a Cam&xitta. "Not In a thousand years!" vm the answer of a Carranta officer at El Paso when naked It the body of Huerta would be taken to Mexico City for Interment. This exhibition of petty resentment is Just a little bit unfortunate tor the cause of Carranza at this time. It la so utterly devoid of the chivalry that baa been con sidered a characteristic of the Spanish, from whom the Mextcana descend. A fallen foe la alwaya entitled to, and traditionally receives consideration at the hands of, the victor. Deeent sepulture in his own country, the last possible boon, Is not to be aenled him. Huerta was of aome service to his country; he rose to the rank of general In the army under the one man whoso name is linked with anything of distinctive progress In that land. Many of his supporters still live there, and will doubtless form a pow erful faction, with whom any government must reckon. This alone, aside from any considera tion of common humanity, will probably result la a reversal of the Impulsive declaration of the aubordlnate and the "first chief," should he finally come to govern the country, will find way to give Victorlaao Huerta burial that beflti his rank as general of the army and president of the republic. Kot a Boss, Bat Leader. Mr. Bryaa has again served notice on Ne braska democrats, and through them oa the party at large, that candidates must accept his views If they expect his assistance. He la thoroughly committed to bis belief In letting the people rule, and will make any sacrifice neces sary to obtain aa untrammeled selection of public- servants at the polls. He only Insists that these servants subscribe without reserve to the Bryan dogma, whatever it may be at the mo ment, and to change whenever he changes. If they can't do this, they aspire to office at the peril of his displeasure, and that means some thing, as a long line of democrats, headed by Champ Clark, can testify. Mr. Bryan, however, wouldn't think of dictating to anybody, for be is not a boas; he la a leader. SAACa. TUB FACT brouaht out by the death of ftlahop Pea one 11 Is worthy of note that la the almoet sixty years that Omaha hae baen the aeat of a of the Catholic church, only three btahope hare been Inveated with the authority of the office. Accord ing to the rwoorda, tha ft rat organisation of the Catholic church here dates back te tha year 107, although probably service were held prior to that time, and the first bishop of Nebraska, Ritht Rev. Jamea rrOorman, waa consecrated in May, 1S59. Ha died on the Fourth of July, 1ST, after fifteen years of aervloa, and an Interval of two yers olapaed tie fore his eueoeeaor. Right Rav. Jamea O'Connor, took up hla official duties In Auguat. 1Z71 Blahop O'Con nor remained In th baraaaa deepit his phyalcal In firmities for a 1 moat fourteen years, dying May Tl, when almost another year elapaed before the consecration of tha late Bishop Richard flcannell. whlc h took place March 8, 1SP1. It will be aeen that, had Blahop Soannell'a life been spared for soma two month a more, he would have been able to point to twenty-five rear a In this high atatlon of honor and distinction, which, I take It, while not ezoeptlonal. la at leaat uncommon. As reflecting the wonderful change that have taken place In this we tern country In a comparatively abort period. It la alao Interesting to note that when Blahop O'Connor waa Installed the dloceae Included not only Nebraska, but also Wyoming, that portion ef Mon tana lying eaet of tha Rocky mouataJna, and of tbe Dakota a lying weat of tna Mleeourt river. Tbla JurladlRtJon has been reduced from thne to time by cutting off Wyoming. Montana, moat of the Dakota and dividing Nebraaka Itself Into a north and south dioceae, tha amalleat ef them being mora Important today than was the Nebraaka dtooeae twenty-flTe years ago when Bishop Scan nail took charge. Archbishop Ireland la a wonderful man. No one who saw him on his recent visit bars would imagino him to be In his seventy-eighth year, but that la none tha leas true. la appearance he la robust and active without the eUghtest aUrn of the IntlrmtUra of age. end he la aa keenly alive to current evente, eecular as well as rellgloua, aa be evar was. I had caUad on aim aa an old-tlm friend of my father when be was guast of Bishop Scannetl a few years ago. and had a delightful Interview, In which he recalled the time he had spent with my father In Rome during the world's last postal congresa when they both hap pened to be there, and he took occasion this time to return th call. The archhlahop has a powerful per sonality, which doubtleaa accounta for hla ryilUtude of staunch admirers aa well as for th strong ene mies who hav ao far kept him from attaining the cardinal's hat . It would certainly be a fine recogni tion and a popular selection If the occasion ahould yet coma when he could be awarded that earned promotion. s When I made my observation laat week with Mf. areno to the valuable volumea bearing on the civil war ana western history. Which had been collected by General' Dodge, and euggeated that thee books ought not to be allowed to become scattered, but ahould b kept accessible In aome suitable public piace, i, or course, nae no knowledge that tha gen eral's will made precisely this provision. Althouch the heirs might, and probably would, have aeen to the preflervauon or tha library. It Is fortunate that the general himself did not overlook the matter, and his example ought to hav a wider influence on others who hav private poeseaatona of historical Interest. W out here are so new that wa are apt to place too little store by book and manuacriota an nhuta with history attached to them, and to forget that destroyed or lost they cannot be replaced In the future. This reminds me ef the art treasure and biio-a-brao one housed la the old Col line home, standing at the corner of Nineteenth and Capitol avenue, which haa lust been aold to make waw In tint tnm modern apartment building. The Collina house In Its dsjr was one of Omaha's most popular aortal centers, and Ita generous hospitality waa nntmrbtar Th. rvi. line recaptions and parties furnlahed aome of tha itnaa mat bound tba military aet antrenehed at Fort Omaha to Omaha society, and later waa the center of a Bohemlanlam, which waa the neareat copy of European entertainment that ever secured a foothold bare. With gradual aocumulatlona pf collections made by Mrs. and Mlsa Collina on i'mmhIv. mu across the water, the house eaeumed tha aspect of a miniature museum, wltn a variety of art and curio exhlblta of decidedly superior character. These col lections, however, so for as I know. If they are aUll In existence, have all been scattered, and when the 014 nous is torn down Ita attractions will have paaaed Into the realm of atory-book legends. SECULAJt SHOTS AT PULPIT.
