Mrs. Cole Introduces Him.

At the opening Mrs. Cole told something
Of Mr.. Robinson's work, and then the lat
ter briefly spoke. He said he had been
working in st. Joseph for two weeks to
prepare a plan for a park system and a
small civic center. This latter will have
as its main feature at present the new
city hall.
Mayor Dahlman called on several men
in the audience to express their views on
the possibility Of starting a movement here
to secure a definite plan Of future city
building for omaha City Attorney Bur-
nam favored the idea. giving reasons
drawn from the experience of other cities,
citing Denver in particular.
President Bergman and Members Miller
and Watson of the Park board also
thought the opportunity should be seized
to secure the views Of the visiting expert
and gave him some outline OF what has
been done In the park building line and
what is contemplated.
Victor Rosewater, who was called on by
the mayor, said the Park board had done
q good deal of creditable work with the
money at its disposal. He pointed out that
work in any one direction was not so much
to be desired as intelligent effort consist
entity devoted to improving the city gen
orally.

Some Obstacles to Beauty.


you cannot make a good impression on
visitors, said Mr.. RosewateT, when they
see elegant buildings on this corner and
that, and alongside OF them old shacks
that would not be a credit to a village.
Neither can you make a good impression
on visitors when they see along your prin-
cipaI streets the asphalt pavement full of
holes. To bring nabout the kind of city
We are all anxious to have we must take
stock Of our resources generally and Of
our finances particularly. No one subject
of interest can be fostered at the expense
OF all others, but the best work will COM
prehend all the varied matters that are
involved in city building"
Frank l.. Haller said he had just returned
from a trip through Mexico, which we
are accustomed to look on as a benighted
hation. The examples Of city beauty and
city cleanliness that I saw while away
made me ashamed of what we nave in
Omaha. The woman's club and all other
organizations must come down to earth.
Pink teas and good resolutions are not
what we want. When we see our streets
Uttered and the needed elementary things
left undone, we should make up our minds
to stay down on the earth and do the best
we can toward accomplishing the merely
necessary things before INDUCING in platl-
tudes and dreams."
Omaha daily bee., 1910-03-11
Several Others Speak.

Rome Miller Endorsed the mayors views
and said Omaha spends less on its parks
than st. Joseph, even,
Judge Sutton spoke of the need Of In
diligently planned work and incidentally
said he believed South Omaha is ready TO
come into Omaha today II the opportunity
is offered without politics being mixed In
the matter.
Counoiimen Sheldon and Berka and City
Comptroller Lobeck made brief talks on the
general subject, and expressed the view
that II the people are awakened to what is
necessary within a few years, Omaha
can be one OF the most beautiful cities in
the country.

Progressive Movement

The progress of the Insurgent
cause at Washington is almost mar
velous. Three years ago Senator La
Toilette stood alone in the Senate
and when he spoke on the railroad
bill the standpatters, under the
leadership of Aldrich, left the room
and did other contemplate things
in their effort to belittle him in the
eyes Of his countrymen. That was
the time he made his now famous
prediction that Many of the seats
temporarily vacant to.day may be
permanently vacant later" Only
three years haye passed and q La
Toilette now muSters Suffcien
strength to defeat legislation in fav-
or of the corporations in spite of the
fact that it is inaugurated by the
President himself. In the House the
guard led by Cannon and Dalzell has
repeatedly been routed and the Pro
gressives who two years ago were
limited almost to Cooper and Nelson
of Wisconsin, have gained the
ascendency and can practically
though not absolutely control the
House. Better days and better laws
are in sight.

Forest Fires Out

The forest fires which have
been burning over the cut over
lands of Bayfield, county during
the past two weeks were com
pletely put out by the heavy
rains of Monday and Tuesday,
and there was q sigh of relief all
around. During the time that
the fires were raging the smoke
that was blown over the city
was so thick as to shut out the
view of the sun. A large area of
country was burned over and
some of the settlers in the
rural sections suffered losses
by the burning down of
fences and barns, while others
were completely wiped out.
The Cusson district where the
fires were said to have been so
bad, escaped without much
damage. The fires confined
themselves to the cut over slash
ings, and very little standing
timber was scorched.

Approaching A Contest

The Standpatters are promising a
spectacular campaign for Wisconsin
Money without limit is to be flooded
over every county. Every news
paper with price will receive double
this year. Thousands of workers
and hundreds of thousands of pamph-
lets, printed in every language, will
cover the state in the cause of Taft
and high tariff, The Eastern baron s
are willing to give down freely to
defeat La Toilette for he is the first
and most uncompromising insur-
gent.
With the flow of oratory and money
it is firmly believed Wisconsin can
be stampeded and bought up. Jack
pot methods will be used in the legis-
lature if La Toilette is nominated
and the old Badger state will be
fully Lorimerized.
This sounds we'll but it remains to
be seen if the state can be bought
up. The people know La Toilette
has no money with which to fight
the trusts powers and when men
use money the question will be
asked. "Where did you get it?'
The next legislative investigation
will make the Lorimer bribery
episode look quiet by comparison
for eleventh Story League" meth
DDS are shopworn and the papers
that have their pride will be placed
under the microscope.
Edmonds has been ignored, David
son sidetracked and Stephenson
told to get out of the way for the
new political steam roller in Wiscon-
sin. Can Connor win with his force
of forty clerks and can Cannon,
Aldrich, Smoot, Ballinger, Hitch
cock and Wickersham make black
look white? If they can and if
money talks then La Toilette may
be defeate but those who know the
situation in the state are Offering to
bet big odds on his victory over the
Lorimerizers.
