BACK UP. MR.. WOOSTER.

The redoubtable Charles Wooster
has reappeared in public prints to re-
mind us that in the legislature of 1897
he fought tooth and nail against the
then proposed exposition at Omaha,
charging that 1t would result in very
serious injury to the trade of country
merchants. He now tells them that
they should be disposed to give him
an attentive ear because at that time
they treated his admonitioh with in
difference or contempt and afterward
we're kicking themselves, while their
customers we're spending their money
at the department stores in Omaha
and their clerks stood idly behind
their counters"
The position which Wooster took In
opposition to the Transmississippi ex-
position is really the chief thing that
should tend to discredit him with
country merchants of broad gauge
views whose vision extends beyond
their own counters. Every one, ex-
cept Wooster, has long ago realized
that the Transmississippi exposition
was worth many times what 1t cost,
not specially to Omaha. but to the
whole of Nebraska: that 1t returned
dividends on the investment to every
man, woman and child in the state,
whether contributing to 1t or not. That
great enterprise, projected when bust
ness men everywhere we're down in
the mouth and short in the pocketbook,
helped signally to turn the tide that
lifted Nebraska from drouth-produced
desolation to prosperity. 1t riveted
the attention of the country at the
critical time upon Nebraska and it's
resources and above all exemplifled
the spirit of dauntless enterprise with
which our people we're imbued. Tt
started the tide of immigration back
to Nebraska and raised the value of
every acre of land In the state,s and
country merchants are today and will
for years be profting by IL in the In
creased business indirectly stimulated.
AS to Wooster's small-bore opposi-
ton to the exposition of 1898, he
should apologize or, at least, ask peo-
Pile to forget 1t.

It is all very well to insist that the
thing for the present generation to do
is to strive to create and develop
ideals and morality in men, but 1t is
q different thing when this point is
emphasized in an effort to discourage
morality in legislation. Every attempt
at specific correction of abuse has al
ways been opposed on the same
ground that George r. Peck takes In
his protest In a paper read before the
American Bar association against what
he is pleased to call 1.-The epidemic of
legislation which has become preva-
lent in America" and 1t is an objec-
ton that those who are struggling
earnestly to correct intolerable wrongs
are prone to give too much rather than
too little heed to,
Certainly not a little Of our legisla-
ton is immature. i'll considered and
even pernicious, even where the mo-
tive Is pure, yet such misdirected eff
fort is not confined to statute making,
but characterizes every field of en-
deavor. Nowhere was 1t more mis-
chievously abundant than in the COM
mon or customary law, where the cor
rect and progressive decisions that
stand as landmarks are only a few
among the multitude of incorrect and
hampering findings of the courts.
Statutory progress, keeping pace
with the changing necessities of COM
munity life, never so rapid as in this
age. must necessarily be qualified by
experience, and the aggressive spirit,
acting through our popular representa-
tive system, and inevitably falling into
blunders, is absolutely essential unless
legislation is to stagnate.

The death OF Edward Rosewater removes
from earth one of the most noted men in
the west. and citizen who has done more
In the way OF building up the metropolis
OF Nebraska than any other one person.
Mr.. Rosewater was also a power in the
republican party Of the state, and his great
ambition for years has been to represent
his state in the United States senate, a
position he was so ebupdantly able to fill,
and his political enemies within his own
party ranks is all that kept him from
doing so. The deceased was the founder
Of The Omaha Bee. one of the greatest
newspapers In the west.

He has always been Identified with all
public movements which tended TO the up
building Of our state. and a staunch and
courageous advocate OF the interests Of the
common people. Mr.. Rosewater was a man
OF strong convictions and always fearless
and outspoken in voicing his ideas and
sentiments. In politics he was a pro-
nounced republican Of the anti-monopolist
brand, and It cannot be questioned but that
his party in this state owed him more than
any other man for its growth and success.

Impressed on the People.

The death Of Edward Rosewater removes
the most conspicuous figure in Journalism
west of Chicago and one of the greatest
editors in the nation. For years Mr.. Rose
water has impressed himself and HIS ideas
upon the people. His paper, being the
strongest factor in Nebraska, has been his
personal organ. There was not a man In
this State. save possibly Mr.. Bryan, so well
known as Edward Rosewater, both at home
and abroad. and while he had bitter enc
mics. he had loyal friends. and all will
regret the unexpected call that took him
hence.

Conspicuous in History.

He was a man who was highly respected
and loved by many. while his influence was
dreaded by great many more. He was
fearless fighter. an able writer and in hun
dreds OF ways had to be considered by men
Of affairs. TO say the least he will always
be accounted one Of the most conspicuous
figures in the early history of the state OF
Nebraska. Every active politician In the
state will pause to consider, not only his
past record. but the influence Mr.. Rose
waters death will have upon the present
situation and upon our future political his
tory.

In the death Of Edward Rosewster Me-

and one whose name will be inseparaoly
linked with every step in the progress and
history Of the state for the last thirty-nve
years. Faults he had. as all men have,
but with them were so many good traits
that these faults can easily be forgotten
and forgiven as the people Of Nebraska
stand with uncovered heads in the prLs-
ence Of their dead and pay tribute TO his
memory. His death is q loss TO the state,
to Omaha and to the great newspaper
which he guided and built up to its high
destiny. To all OF them Il will be found
hard matter to find a man to ill his
place.
