Omaha Business Leaders Say Good-Bye To Charlie Rosewater ' (Contlaotxl Tnm Om,) his bestowal of credit for work actu ally accomplished. He mentioned one after another the original ideas put into effect and operation by Mr. Rose water in Omaha and Nebraska in the last half dozen years, some of which have been taken up as nation-wide campaigns. In this connection he mentioned the national corn exposi tion, the seed corn campaign, the land show, the farm tractor show and the "Buv-It-Now" campaign, which latter campaign was originated by Mr. Rose- water several years ago when many in the east were out of work and something was needed i to throw monev into circulation at once to re lieve the strain. RicharM L. Metcalfe, as a news paper man, paid his tribute to . the guest. "The world is full of men who are giving their time to building up their community and country. We have men in Omaha who are giving their time to building up Omaha and Nebraska, and who nave unselfishly given their time and service thus for years. We are here tonight to honor such an one." In speaking of Mr. Rosewater as a publisher, he said: "There ia not in the city a newapaper which for vigor ous spirit and general excellence ex cels The Omaha Bee." Saying "Good-Bye" to Omaha. Mr. Rosewater, himself, in response to the varioua tributes, began by say ing they had spoiled his whole creed, which had been to work quietly for the community without seeking praise from the lips of any man. ' "I have listened, gratified, proud," ha said, "but I feel I have been given too much credit for some of the work with which I have been identified. If I deserve any credit in mv work as head of various movements, it is be cause I have had the wisdom to choose men who could do the work. I chose msjn who could draw loads alone. So it waa with the tornado re lief work. If I deserve anv credit there, it is because I insisted men of that class should be permitted to do. the work they were capable of doing, and were willing to do. Telegrams Read. " Toastmaster Baxter read a telegram from Victor Rosewater, editor of The Bee, and brother of the guest of the evening. Victor Rosewater was on his way to Washington, called there to attend a conference of the Federal Trade commission, and thus was com pelled to be absent from the banquet given in honor of his brother.

DIVES RICH; LAZARUS NOT Asserting that we boast ourselves our name Americans and assert that no nation upon earth excels us in an enlightened civilization, Dean J. A. Tancock of Trinity Cathedral, speak ing before the Omaha Philosophical society at its rooms in the Lyric building, Nineteenth and Farnam streets, yesterday afternoon, ques tioned whether this civilization gives every man, not the best, the wisest nor the most active, but every man, an opportunity to obtain the neces saries of life. , In his talk on "The State and tire Child," Dean Tancock told a story of Dives and Lazarus, as applied to con ditions in modern life. "I take Dives at his mansion and Lazarus at his gate as representing a state of civilized society in which at one end of the scale there is sumptu ous and excessive luxury, while at tire other end there are masses who have no means of earning their daily bread. Charity is Lavish. "I put aside every thought of charity and beneficence. I speak only of justice and righteousness. Charity abounds; charity organized; charity prodigal in. its goodness of heart, but yet foolish in its measures; charity competing with charity; charity lav ish in its costly methods, yet failing to fulfill its .purpose; charity sell willed and thoughtless, tending to create the pauperism which it seeks to relieve, yet charity in spite of its own follies achieving some, magnificent successes, feeding the hungry, cloth ing tne nanea, teaenmg tne ignorant, healing the sick, and in a moral sense cleansing the leper' and casting out devils. Civilization is Education. "In the term civilization we include all the principles by which our social life is governed the influences by which each member of society re ceives some impress from the whole. We include the institutions by which lite and property are said to be more secure in America than anywhere else in the world. We include education- literary and scientific and technical and all that conduces to make our workmen the moat efficient on earth. "But there are some simple tests which an enlightened civilization ought to satisfy. And perhaps the most simple is this we should expect that opportunity in a civilized state be afforded to every member of the com munuy to ooiain ior nimscii ine necessaries of life. It is not enough that suitable openings are secured for the ablest and the best. It does not avail that new zones, of influence are gained for our commerce, and new doors opened to the prosperity and advancement of our merchants, The income returns may indicate a large increase in the wealth of the nation, but what boots it that Dives can be clothed in purple and fine linen and can fare sumptuously every day, if Lazarus is still compelled to lie at his gate untended and unfed. Our civilization must be judged as whole; our social systems by their general results. Dean Taneock't forty-minnte talk was followed by short discussions on the subject by members ot the society. Creighton Debaters to ' Talk on Military Service The Creighton Oratorical society debated the question, "Resolved, That a System of Compulsory Universal Military Training and Service Should Be Adopted in the United States," friday night Affirmatives were Messrs. McArdle and Barr; negatives, Messrs. Reynolds and Gross. De cision was made in favor of the nega tive. Mr. barr, recently declared winner of Nebraska s oratorical con test, volunteered to uphold the af firmative, due to absence of Mr. Spirek, who had left school. It was decided that the same sub ject should be the subject for a pub lic debate to be held later. Members of the Oratorical society who are to appear in public are to be chosen from twenty-one who have expressed their desire to appear in a preliminary contest, which will be held the first week in March. En thusiasm has been greatly aroused in the Oratorical society, due to the prizes and by the proposed public debate. The prizes have been made possible by a gift of a 5Uu bond bearing 6 per cent interest by John Schultz of Beardstown, 111. The following have entered the preliminary contest: Lyle Doran, Lawrence J. Hannan, Daniel J. Gross, R. Leo Beveridge, Ralph H. Kastner, Ralph T, Wilson, hmmet r. Hoctor, Elias G. Camel, H. Jones, Francis Duffy, James A. Shanahan, Charles C. McArdle, Elmer L.

All arusstit AdvtrtisamcRl, Judges Holmes and Baldwin of the municipal court won the Barristers' club to their way of thinking that pro posed legislation, limiting marriage fees in their court to $3 and requiring such fees to be accounted for like other fees of the court, is unfair and unreasonable legislation. The pre vailing practice of allowing the groom to hand the judge ah unlimited hon orarium will not be disturbed. The barristers met Saturday eve ning in the Commercial club rooms to discuss legislation affecting the municipal court.

AUDITORIUM, Feb. 26 Mch. 3 NOT MANY BILLS WILL PASS Washington, Feb. 25. With the re publican filibuster m the senate against revenue legislation broken late last night after one of the most tem pestuous sessions of recent years, the Sixty-fourth -congrss tomorrow will enter upon the last week of its official existence still facing extraordinary legislative congestion. Republican leaders who had threat ened to defeat the emergncy revenue bill by dilatory tactics agreed to a final vote on the measure next Wednesday night when confronted with the democratic determination to hold the senate in continuous session. Danger of further efforts to force an extra session has not disappeared, however, for some of the minority in sist that the president should be forced to summon the Sixty-fifth con gress to be on hand for eventualities in the European crisis. Belief of Minority Chiefs. When the republicans made peace with the majority over the $400,000. 000 revenue and bond bill and agreed that appropriation measures might be considered by unanimous consent be tween now and Wednesday night, some minority leaders frankly con fessed to the belief that there would be no necessity for an extra session. Lhief of these, is senator amoot, act ing minority leader of the senate. Sen ator Borah and others would not con cede this, although they admitted that circumstances might develop during the week which would clear the situa tion materially. Administration leaders, notwith standing the possibility of further ob structive tactics interfering with the army and navy appropriation , meas ures and the sundry civil appropria tion bill, were jubilant today over the breaking of the revenue filibuster and express conviction that all differences yet to arise may be ironed out in the closing hours of the session. Wilson's Plans Not Disclosed. Whether President Wilson will go before congress before adjournment to discuss the relations between the United States and Germany, the dem ocratic laders in both houses frankly state they do not know. Many of them expect that he will, but do not profess to know what he will ask. That nearly all pending legislation urged by the president must fail at this session now is practically con ceded by every one. If the revenue, army and navy, sundry civil and minor appropriation measures still pending get through, that is all that the most sanguine democrats expect. fltimm&Ohir -all-jltet traim of today.

An 80,000 ton battleship mounting fifteen 18 inch guns, having a speed of twenty five knots an hour and costing $50. 000,000 would be the largest craft which the United States could em ploy, according to a report to con gress prepared by the Navy depart ment in response to a request for specifications of the biggest fighting craft that could use the Panama canal and American harbors. The reports says that such vessel would have a length of 975 feet, a beam of 108 feet, a secondary battery of twenty-one 6 inch guns, four fj-inch torpedo tubes and a 12,000-mile radius of action. "A single such vessel, however," it adds, "would not be of great value to the United States navy as it would not be suited to act in unison with the other major objects of our navy. To develop the value of such a vessel, it would be necessary to lay down not less than five." Successful Baby Health Week at Falls City Falls City, Neb., Feb. 25. (Spe cial.)
