Omaha's census returns are a cause
of chagrini to her ambitious citizens
only because the last report was in
flated. The metropolis Of Nebraska
has made steady and rapid growth.
In very few years the city has grown
from town into a city. Omaha has
nearly every reason in the world to be
proud, and very little, except her city
government and school board. to be
ashamed of. In Omaha, not to speak
of imposing business blocks and hand
some residences. is the only architect
ural monument in the west, the Bur.
lington railway station. The men of
Omaha are keen-witted, they exhibit,
at times, an intense activity, they
have made money, some Of them have
lost it, but many show remarkable re.
Operative ability. Although it is
western town, the society in Omaha
has metropolitan go, confidence and
savoir taire not at all discreditsble to
. city that fifty years ago was nothing
but q frontier settlement. POten-
italy Omaha is everything. The power
concentrated there in the dynamic
breasts of westerners is illimitable.
A trifling matter of q loss Of $1,000
people according to the untrustworthy
figures Of the last census, should not
dismsy the men of Omaha, who have
good reasons for self confidence and
hope.

the Declaration at the beginning OF
the war declared them to be, free
and independent states ?" At the
time this Declaration was written
the therein denominated Stree and
independent states" were colonies and
dependencies of the British crown to
which they had heretofore rendered
allegiance. To absolve themselves
from that allegiance. and ito assume.
among the powers Of the earth. the
separate and equal station to which
the laws Of nature and Of natures
God entitled them," they rebelled
and entered upon the struggle for in
dependence. They issued this i'm
mortal Declaration Of Independence,
the grandest, the greatest declaration
of war that ever came from tongue or
pen; nevertheless the statement
therein contained that "these United
Colonies are free and Independent
States" instead of being literally
true at the same time it was written.
was at that time literally false.
TO the unalienable rights Of men,
my correspondent says that the Dec
laratiOn is today literally and &C
curately true. The unalienable rights
specified are life, liberty and the pur-
suit Of happiness. / understand the
meaning Of the word ''unalienable,
to be, incapable of alienation"
Doubtless all men and some women
are created with the inherent right
to life and liberty and the pursuit Of
happiness, but are these rights in
capable Of alienation?
II the Declaration of Independence
as to the unalienable rights of men
is "today literally and accurately the
truth" how can we reconcile the law
which condemns to death the MUIR
derer. and his subsequent execution,
with the ''self evident TRUTH" that
the same murderer is created with
the right to life which is incapable Of
alienation? My correspondent is a
lawyer; has he ever in his practice
known thief or a robber to escape
punishment simply and sulely because
he was endowed by his Creator with
the unalienable right to liberty? So
ciety says, speaking through the laws
enacted for its protection. that men
ALLEVIATE their right to life, to liberty
and to the pursuit Of happiness, by
their misdeeds and by the perform
ance of prohibited acts. The laws for
the protection Of society against the
evil doors are based upon the prin-
ciple that men may by their acts
ALLEVIATE tEeir right to life as we'll as
to liberty; either this must be true
or government or society, whichever
we term it, in the enforcement of
law. is wrong. The Creator. who in
the language Of the instrument under
consideration, endowed all men with
the unalienable right Of life. COM
manded Moses that the man who was
found gathering sticks on the Sab
bath day should surely be put to
death. and put to death he was; was
that man endowed by his Creator
with an unalienable right to life /?
To my mind the statement that as
to the unalienable rights Of men the
Declaration is today literally and &C
curately true cannot be sustained.
As to the statement that a citizen
has no more right to declare the Dec.
laration Of Independence a lie than a
Christian has to declare the Sermon
on the Mount lie: The Sermon on
the Mount was intended to be and is

On the other hand American wo-
men painters have been awarded gold

medals were awarded in competition

The Declaration Of Independence.
Regarding an editorial in The Cour.
Ter in the issue the 4th of Aug, cor
respondent says that the editor has
read something into the Declaration
that Is not there and further that
IL nowhere declares that man is born
free and equal, that at the time it
was written, the Declaration was
literally and accurately the truth and
that citizen of this county has no
more right to declare the Declaration
OF Independence lie than a Chris
tian has TO declare the Sermon on
the Mount lie"
From the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence quote this. "We. therefore
solemnly publish and de-
clare, that these United Colonies are,
and Of right ought to be. Free and
Independent States; that they are
absolved from all allegiance to the
British crown" Here are two dec.
laratiOns, first that the United Col
onies then were free and independent
states, and second. that they ought to
be such. My correspondent says that
the declaration that the colonies then
were free and independent states was
literally and accurately true. Ii at
that time the colonies were Stree
and independent states" why issue a
Declaration OF Independence Free
and independent states owe no such
allegiance to other states as the col
onies then declared they were alb
solved from. II at the time the Dec
laration was written the colonies
were what they were declared to be
why declare that they were or "are

An Apostate.

Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease, who has
made more speeches advocating popu-
list doctrines and candidates than
any other woman and only fewer than
Mr.. Bryan, has renOunced populism.
She says "the party has lost what fire
and enthusiasm it once had, and is
now a Doodle refuge, that is destined
to become a mass of parasites on the
democratic growth"
Mrs. Annie L. Diggs has succeeded
to Mrs. Leases place. Mrs. Diggs has
widened the breach between pOpulists
and democrats by DETECTING some Of
the Offices promised to democrats
back to straight populists. 1t is not
a question Of principle in Kansas, and
the fusionists that are left do not
pretend that it is. Taking into &C.
count the population Of Kansas, the
democratic fusionists maintain that
there are few enough offices to go
around without awarding any to wo-
men. They were, therefore, displeas-
ed when Chairman Ridgely Of the
pOpulist state committee issued a
circular inviting the women to help
elect the state officers and the nation.
al electors. The democrats hold
rigidly to the idea that woman shall
be governed without her consent and
without giving her any public oppor-
tunity for the expression of dissent
or approval. They therefore demand
ed of Chairman Ridgely the with
drawal of his circular. holding that

wives in America as in Germany.
would be alienated from populism.
But Mrs. Diggs convinced the Chair
man that there we're more women
than Germans in the state and that
the feminine influence aud voice was
more potential than the vote Of the

A clubwoman and a student Of chill

who sucked her thumb and turned in
her toes when she walked. She says
she has cured both these habits by

the mother went to her bedside and
told her that she must not suck her
thumb. she turned the little feet
