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.

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

1 am a woman therefor I may not
Call to him, cry to him.
Fly to him.
Bid him delay not!
Then, when he comes to me, I must alt
quiet;
Still as a stone
All silent and cold.
If mv heart riot
Crush and defy It!
Should 1 prow bold.
Bay one dear thing to him.
All my life fling to him.
Cling to him
What to atone
Is enough for my sinning!
This were th coat to me.
This were my winning
That he were lost to me.
Not as a lover
At last If he part from me.
Tearing my heart from ma.
Hurt beyond cure
Calm and demur '
Then must I hold me,
Isj myself fold me,
Iit he discover;
Showing no sign to him
By look of mine to him
What he has been to me
How my heart turns to him.
Follows him, yearn to him,
Praya him to love me, -
Pity me, lean to me.
Thou God above me!
