NICE PLACE TO LIVE


Bryan's town, as the tourist call it, is a
shining example Of what thrift and public
spirit can accomplish. The ordinary resi-
dence streets look like the better parts.of
Orange. The business streets are like noth-
ing in New Jersey. Comparisons being
odious, il may be well to say no more here
of she broad, smooth, bright thoroughfares,
with their pleasing architecture, wherein
the men of Lincoln make money and their
wives spend it, Lincoln is town Of homes,
and the homes are a JOY tc the eye, the body
and the spirit, even some Of those built by
millionaire railway contractors and rich new
corners from the east
There are no three-family houses. Every
body has front door Of his own, and a
vine-clad porch, and lawn. and q horse
and buggy and the right TO look the rest Of
the world in the face. Everybody works in
Lincoln, there is no idle class worth mem
tioning, consequently nobody is ashamed
Of working. The girl behind She ribbon
counter is just as good-looking and we'll
dressed and accomplished as her employers
daughter, and probably they travel in She
same crowd evenings. There is no such
thing as serviIity, even IN She hotels. To

MR.. BRYAN AT HOME


It Mr.. Bryan's town in everything but
politics. In that regard it belongs 70 the
| pure or Nebraska State journal faction
of the Republican party on those occasions
when it is not owned by the Burlington
Railroad and the Ambassador to Mexico.
Here, however, il is not case Of political
prophet without honor in his own country,
for Mr.. Bryan is the biggest politician in
view from the silyery dome of the State
capitol. as everybody cheerfully admits.
And everybody thinks it is shame that
she community in which Mr.. Bryan estab-
lished his home twenty years ago was four
fifths Republican. A Republicans politics,
as is we'll known, are about as hard to
change as 500 bill in West Hoboken after
midnight.
Socially and intellectually Lincoln is
Bryan's town indeed. Probably no public
man in America is more loved and respec-
ted by his neighbors Lincoln people are
skeptical. Those persons who pose, who
put on the dog and indulge in pomp and
pretense, are town jokes. There are few
such, even in town so enlightened. But
Mr.. Bryan does not pose. He walks the streets
as any other citizen, and when he stands at
corner waiting for car there is nothing
about him that compels attention. He
doesn't blow horn, or ring a bell. OF strut,
or swell his chest He wears ordinary
olothesIand SLOUGH hal, aud if he ever carries
cane it is when be is away on his trips.
A COMFORTABLE NEIGHBoR
Many men, when they attain political
eminence divorce themselves from the
human race. They ride in closed carriages
and dine at inaccessible clubs. They can't
be touched with ten-foot pole. Like the
late Professor Enoch, they become translated
and are seen no more. But Mr.. Bryan is
plainly visible to she naked eye. He has
not yet applied for a separation from hu-
manity and that it is one Of the first rea-
sons for his popularity with Lincoln people.
They would pick flaw if they could, but
there is none TO find In spite Of whirl-
wind successes that have made him world
figure, Mr.. Bryan is still one Of the folk; he
is still civilian j. plain, busy, good
natured citizen, in whom there is no shad-
ow Of vanity, just as he was before &c. II
he has any enemies in town, they do their
knocking with feathers.
There are great men in Lincoln as else
where, whose greatness in burdensome to
their contemporaries. There are Others whose
mightness, like that of Shere Khan, is dam
gerous to the humber animals. Mr. Bry-
ans greatness, as it appear to the average
Lincolnite, is neither eIephantine nor tiger
ish, aud is pleasant to look upon. He may
be described among the great men Of the
age as calm and heavy pointing Pike
Peak amid throng Of Vesuyiuses and Po-
pocatapetls and La What sits name, down
in Martinique. Mr.. Bryan never raises the
price of oil OH anybody, nor does be cause
his fellow-be ings to shrivel up with sense
of their insign ificapce. He is comfortable
neighbor.

BUSY AND MODEST.

The towns demands upon Mr.. Bryan
are many but be struggles along bravely
beneath his civic burdens. Lincoln has
more conY entions, national and otherwise
than any city of twice its size in the coun-
try. The people 90 in strong for lodges.
There are 3 1000 or more college students
here. There are scores of societies for the
intellectual advancement of their members.
Naturally a man Of such eloquence and
popularity is likely to be called out, after
the manner Of the fire department., at al
most any hour Of day or night, and he re-

BUREAU OF HOUSING-This bu-
reau should enforce the laws regarding
tenements, small houses, alley shacks,
and alleys. The recent experience OF
the New York city tenement house de-
partment shows that the supervision OF
the houses by a special department de-
fines responsibility and brings better re-
suits than when a general building de-
partment controls all classes Of private
buildings.
BUREAU OF LABOR-This bureau
should have the oversight of pawn
shops. loan companies. employment
agencies, and the enforcement of laws
relating TO factories, workshops, ana
stores. Such a bureau is greatly needed
for the sake Of all who resort 10 the
various agencies above named. and for
all these, including women and chill
dren, who should have the protection OF
adequate factory laws.

Department Of Police and Fire.

2. The Department OF Police and Fire:
The efficiency and good conduct Of
the Washington Police Department in
the performance Of regular patrol duty.
and the excellence Of its administratio
seem 10 me 10 merit the high praise both
have received. Police administration,
however. in the large cities Of the world
has OF late years extended its RESPONSE
bnities beyond that OF patrol service
The police force is no longer band or
civil soldiers 10 catch thieves and break
up mobs. In the best governed cities
of Europe, the criminal division OF the
police service IS a well organized de-
tective bureau, and IS Independent OF the
patrol division. Other bureaus have
been added TO regulate crowds, trans
portation and traffic; 10 license cabs,
carriages, express wagons, trucks, push
carts, street stands. shows. exhibitions.
markets. etc. Some Of these bureaus
are already needed in Washington, and
would locate responsibility and promote
efficiency and good order in street ser
vice.
The need Of a National Police Bureau
OF Information at Washington has
already been recognized by the Com
missioner and Chief OF Police. It's en-
largement and extension would be a
most important service 70 the whole
country.
Even to meet adequately It's present
obligations of patrol service the police
force should be enlarged. The Commits
sioners have recommended TO the Con-
gress an increase in the number OF
patrolmen. To meet their recommended
ton, supported by numerous petitions
for better protection. and 10 carry out
an addition OF one hundred 20 the force
is needed.
