~ MEMORIAM.



Omaha Worid-IIerald tAug 81
The announcement that Edward Rose
water Is dead has come to this city and
state as a great shock. Few men have
played larger part I'm the life OF this
western community than that played by
the late editor of The Bee for the last
genera ton, and this part he played up al
most to the very hour of his sudden death
A truthful estimate and sccurat
analysis of MIR. Rosewater's character Is
difficult to give. For over thirty years
he has been a participant in every strug-
gle which has occurred In this state. In
most of those struggles he has been a
leading figure. During every day of that
time he has published an aggressive and
widely circulated newspaper, and the re-
suit IL that Mr.. Rosewater became the
most talked OF man in the state, and 1t Is
hardly going too far to say that those
who were not his warm friends were his
bitter enemies For that very reason It
is difficult to place just estimate upon
his character.
The World Herald. which, for many years
has been business competitor and polt-
icsl opponent OF Mr.. Rosewater and which
with varying success, has been through
many struggles with him. Il not we'll quail
him.
In the presence OF death. however. wh!ch
ends all rlvalries and softens all acer-
bities. we all see- with clearer eyes and
Judge by a fsirer standard. Mr.. Rose
water possessed many OF the qualities OF
true greatness. He was a man OF won
derful force, determination and persist
ence. He was a man OF great breadth
OF view, OF wide intelligence. as well as
remarkable information. His grasp Of
subjects was quick and original. He was
at all times a ready and able writer and.
In spite OF natural shortcomings he be-
came a strong and effective speaker He
was natural champion of popular rights
and q natural foe to II forms Of oppres-
sion nd tyranny. Unsparng with those
whom he opposed, or denounced, and some-
times unfair, he was, with his friends,
generous, and to his family kind and good.
To the hundreds Of men who, at various
times, were in his employ, he reputed
to be both just and considerate In the
enterprises of the city and state he was
public-spirited and progressive. In his
own business affairs he showed at all times
a courage and enterprise which often in
volved the taking of extreme chances and
made him a pioneer in the western news
paper field To churches and charities he
was liberal contributor and to himself
he was hard master. He took little
interest In the amenities OF life. and rarely
took an hour for recreation or rest. He
was not philosopher. but a fighter, and
he died as he had lived in the harness.
What he got out OF life, or out OF poll
tics II would be hard for the average man
to see. From beginning TO end. week in
and week out. he seemed to be engaged in
one continuous, never-ceasing struggle In
which defeat followed victory and victory
followed defeat in rapid succession until
all finally ended in bitter disappointment
and sudden death

hastings tribune.
Edward Rosewater was a deep thinker
and a man of action and being ambitious
Il was natural that he should aspire 20
honor and distinction. He was recognized
by President Mckinley and made a member
OF the advisory board Of the republican
national committee and he was also recoR-
nlzed by President Roosevelt. who appointed
him delegate 20 the international postal
eongress Mr.. Rosewater also served as
national committeeman for the republican
party from Nebraska. Is It any wonder
then that man who had done so much
for his party and his state that he should
have ambitions TO occupy a seat in the
upper house of the national congress? Is
II not human nature that when a man 5
lifetime ambitions have been shattered, and
the last ray of hope has vanished, to feel
the sting of disappointment unto death?

how he had lassoed cab horse early yes

OMAHA UNDER THE RATE Law.


What Omaha commercial interests
want and are going to insist upon
under the new rate regulation law
is a square deal and equal treatment
with every other city in the same
class with which they must compete.
Just now with the changes that
are being put into force as the new
law goes into operation there is much
complaint among shippers against al
legged unjust charges. discriminating
grain rates. special elevation and
switching allowances, etc. Against
these complaints the representatives
of the railroads urge that because
shippers have had certain concessions
or leniency extended to them under
the old order OF things. which are
now being withdrawn and abated,
they have no right to complain. be-
cause they are still getting all that is
required under the law.
II this were simply the leveling up
or leveling down of the patrons of
the railroads in order to place every
shipper on the same basis as to rates,
facilities and extra charges or penal
ties, no good ground for complaint
would exist. II, on the other hand,
II should turn out that these exae-
lions are being harshly imposed upon
Omaha shippers, while shippers in
competing business eenters, such as
Kansas City, St. Joseph. Sioux City.
St Paul and Minneapolis. are not be-
ing harassed in this way. then Omaha

says: We'll. to be sure, New York is
