The death OF Edward Rosewater Of The
Omaha Bee closes career of notable
achievement by an entirely self-made man.
Mr.. Rosewater was a creative force in the
public affairs Of the city OF Omaha and the
state Of Nebraska. He had the genius and
the energy to build up a great newspaper
property from a small Beginning. and he
continually made his influence and his
power felt for the promotion OF good causes.
He was full of courage, a determined op-
ponent Of the railroads in their corrupt
attempts to control politics, and an inspira-
ton and an example in reform work Of
every kind. Mr.. Rosewater had recently
returned from the international postal con-
ference. at which he was a delegate.

The close of the career of Edward Rose
water, founder and editor of The Omaha
Bee. was characteristic of long life Of
strenuous action and unconventional deeds
He worked to the close of his last day
stepped into one of the court rooms in
The Bee building, probably for the brief
rest that he had trained himself to take at
any time in a short nap in a chair, and
was found in the morning in his last long
sleep
There will be little or no debate over
Mr.. Rosewaters place in the history of
Nebraska. He reached unauestioned leader
ship among many able and well estab-
lished competitors in the metropolis in
less than ten years after his paper was
founded. The qualities that enabled him
to win this success were in the man rather
than in his environment An intense, al
most passionate belief in himself and in
his own judgment led him into a lifetime
OF combat with men who held different
views. When he fought-and until recently
he was rarely at peace-he neither asked
nor gave quarter.
Mr., Rosewater's strength lay in the per-
sistency and vigor with which he battled
for his Ideals. His greatest weakness was
his inability 10 separate principle and per-
sonalities. His keen intellect and his able
and useful newspaper were employed to
avenge affronts to Mr.. Rosewater almost
as often as to ward off assaults upon good
government. Thus 1t came to pass that
when he wished to round out his career
with a term in the United States senate
his way was barred again and again by
men who had been made the objects of
strong personal attack. This failure in
politics does not detract from Mr.. Rose
waters career as journalist. Had he
been less vigorous editor he might have
been made a senator In 1901. with prospect
of reelection in 1907. 1t is true that had he
confined himself exclusively to his work
as editor. content to let other men hold
Office and other civic honors, he would
have made a still greater success in his
profession; but in spite of Improbable ex-
cursions into personal politics he stll re-
manned one of the most conspicuous figures
in the western newspaper field. and one of
the few editors of this region who could
lay claim to something like national recog-
milton. His name will always be linked
with the development of the newspaper
business in the first third OF a century OF
the history of the state

to profit by 1t, and the result was the act Of
1902. which provided that the cost SHOULD

stitute a special fund for this purpose AL

good deal of opposition to further direct
governmental aid and there is little pros

several influential papers in the states

lest too much enthusiasm react unfavoi~

The late Edward Rosewater, editor OF
The Omaha Bee, was the most Individual
istic and picturesque journalist left in the
understanding that Mr.. Watterson must
be credited to the south. Mr.. Rosewater
was a product and an exemplar OF the
older personal Journalism in whose at
mosphere thrived 'the great editor" and
his ideals and methods were largely of
the old. school His newspaper was en-
phatically the embodiment OF his per-
sonality, and IL shared his fortunes in
long years Of personal and political con-
troversy. during which the editor was not
only deep in political management, but
also an occasional candidate for office.
Mr. Rosewater's repeated failure to be
elected to the United states senate. In the
last decade of his life, disappointed his
ambition. yet those defeats were natural
results of his journalistic work. He was
very combative and exceptionally indie
pendent, not infrequently boiling party
nominations; his assaults upon politicians
and interests" were often severe. AS
good and honest journalist he was sure
to ne surfeited with enemies, and when
he sought high public office he barred his
breast to their poisoned and sharpened
spears. Mr.. Rosewater's real services to

based on his independence and his cham
pionship of the cause OF the people against
the great railroad systems, which he
fought intrepidly at times. He was gen.
uine democrat, in the broad sense, and his
influence was strongly exerted toward
keeping the republican party in touch with
the masses The newspaper which he de-
veloped is the best monument. 1t is of
interest, at this moment, that Mr.. Rose
water believed that he was the person
most responsible for starting Mr.. Bryan
on his political career. When Mr.. Bryan
first ran for congress in 1880, In strong
republican district. Editor Rosewater
threw The Bees influence against the re-
publican candidate, the detection thus
caused undoubtedly contributing to Mr.
Bryans election from which remarkable
things have come in American politics.
And the end is not yet.

From now on every man who enlists in

print of his finger marks placed upon his

cording to the Bertillon system, in order
that his identity may never be lost so
long as he remains in the service The

the best of all methods of Identification,
