Fifteenth Street
Site for Woodmen
Building-Jewell
Fnancier Has idea for Erecting New
Structure Without Disturbing
Business or Moving.

Where will the new $3.50, 900 woodmen OF
the World building be located in omahA7
As soon as the announcement came from
Detroit that the sovereign grand lodge OF
the order had passed the appropriation, the
question OF location became the subject
among business men, as with this building
and two other large buildings which will
cost $500, 900 to $4,000 in prospect this year,
the business district may be considerably
affected.
The woodmen Of the World have had
their eyes on various sites for two years
past because the new building has been
becoming more and more of a necessity.
Colonel h. w. Jewell. chairman of the
finance committee Of the order. has a plan
which may be executed now that the APP
preparation of $3.50, 900 has been made.
The present building is at Fifteenth and
Howard streets. The location Is under
stood to be satisfactory.
Colonel Jewell has proposed that the now
building be erected on the site and the lots
east of the building without disturbing
the business Of the order going on in the
old building"
The colonel has talked with architects
and contractors who say the new building
can be erected practically around the old
building and IL would be a piece Of good
economy. To sell the present building and
buy another site at present values would
probably cost more than to follow Colonel
Jewell's idea OF erecting the east part OF
the building and as much OF the new build
ing as possible, then occupying the east
wing while the west side is being completed,
This would place the building where It
has q good location, just opposite the Audi
forum, within a block of sixteenth street
and as much in the present center as Il will
likely need to be for the headquarters build
ing of a large fraternal assurance order.
Sovereign Commander j. c. Root, Colonel
Jewell and other officers of the order who
attended the meeting of the sovereign
camp in Detroit will spend this week In st.
Louis, returning to Omaha the last Of the
week.

WASHINGTON, June 12-Seventeen men,
eligible for the position Of secretary Of le-
cation in the diplomatic service. a major
ity of whom will, in all PROBABILITY be APP
pointeds are being schooled here in the
class of work they will be called upon to
perform.
Fourteen Of them are the fortunate ones
OF the twenty-six from various parts of
the country, including the south and far
west, who presented themselves for exami-
nation a month ago and were put through
a severe written and oral ordeal.
The school course will last thirty days,
the class being in charge of John II. Greg
DRY, jr, secretary OF the legation to Mica
ragua, and lectures will be given By all
the responsible heads Of the state depart
ment and of bureaus of other branches Of
the government having correlated work In
charge, and the department routine will be
explained fully.
Under the old system the men were sent
out to their posts without training. In the
future, by the time the "appointees start
for their posts each one VIII possess a
bird's-eye view OF the principal questions
the world over in which the United States
is concerned, wherever they involve us. 1t
Is the aim to create IN esprit de corps in
the service and to impress upon the APP
p]ointees the fact that diplomacy is a real
profession.
Emphasis is laid on the fact in the talks
to the men that the diplomatic service
brings its officers into contact with men
all over the world. and a certain amount,
therefore, of cosmopolitanism, good man
ners, etc. is a necessary qualification.
What is desired is a man who can pass
muster in cosmopolitan society, but who
must, above all, be a normal, first class
type of pure American. The department
does not want a high collar" policy in the
diplomatic service.

c~ontendinE for a duty. II now appears
probable that the farmers will win.
Barytes is a Missouri product and Mis-

any prediction a. to what the result would
be would be misleading.
The IrOn schedule.
The same may be said OF the contest be-
tween pig iron and scrap Iron in the metal
schedule. The house placed a duty OF 81
per ton on pig, but gave scrap iron a duty
OF only 50 cents. The senate raised scrap
to the same level with pig and the contest
IL between the rates Of the two houses on
these two items.
The southern senators are making an
earnest though, probably as It now APP
pears. an unsuccessful effort to have cot
ton ties and cotton bagging made free OF
duty, and the binding twine provision has
been held/up until the cotton tie question
could Be decided, probably on the theory
that the northwestern senators could be
prevailed on to combine with the southern
senators in the interest Of the two articles
together. The leather schedule, including
leather itself and leather goods, Is sus-
pended awaiting the decision on hides.
Other important articles which remain
undecided are ~pinespples, on which thu
Florida senators ask an increase, and mon

also Understood that the finance commit

1t lie as yet uncertain as to how much sis
cussion the finance committees provision
relating to maximum and minimum rates
will provoke, but It Is expected that 1
will be thoroughly elucidated before It
finally receives approval. 1t is generally
understood that the committee will recon.
mend a dra wback provision, which will be
along the lines OF the present law rather
than accept the house provision.

Virtue Grows In schools.
There will never be a time in all the
experience Of your life when your minds
will be more perceptive, keenly alert and
impressionable, and you will never be more
in earnest than you are In these forma-
tive years Of your mental and physical
development. The things we. learn earliest
in life are the things we usually remember
the longest and most vlvldly. These brains
of ours are like cabinets filled with
memory shelves, and the storage Of these
shelves takes place during the youthful
and active years Of life, rather than after
its maturer development,
I'VE hail with delight every step in the
advancement that is made in the direction
OF intellectual culture, but the one thing
that stands out as the beacon hope Of this
nation is the spotless purity of character
In the lives Of the oun men and women
who are passing out OF our public schools
into the body polite, where their influence
is to serve to strengthen the life OF the
community In which they live. y
Alas! 1t is only too true that virtue
is something that can be sold, and when
once It is sold a thousand times Its selling
price can never buy 1t back, But thank
God for the virtue that sparkles in the
faces Of these sweet children, and thank
God for the Christian parents and the
Christian homes that have made possible
this pleasing spectacle today"
