1t was the general sense OF the editors in
convention that a mistake was made In
calling their convention during the saen-
gerfest-a mistake for the reason that the
saengerfest being the highest attraction,
kept the editors from getting together.
Many OF the editors are singers, also, and
the music over at the Auditorium carried
them in that direction, while in accordance
with the program. they should by all rules

hereafter editorial conventions would be
held at q time when the editorial work
will not be overshadowed by events of
stronger drawing power.
Notwithstanding the fact that the saen-
gerfest had the effect of decreasing atten-
ton that was expected to be devoted to the
editors meeting II was in the aggregate, a

democratic spirit of the German, lines of
social distinction are not closely drawn in
the saengerbund. The banker, for example,
may stand and sing alongside of his
butcher, or the society woman from Quality
Hill may mingle voice with her dressmaker.
Evidently the theory OF the saengerbund
management is that If song is potent for
good among the rich, it Is equally good
for the poor. Therefore, the saengerfest is
everybody's fest--a big, whole-souled COM
mingling of free-hearted, jovial spirits, I'm
which he who observes the ordinary con-
ventionalities of polite custom may mingle

he be national banker. or clerk in

place where the people rule"
Among the local artists who received I'M
limited praise for their clever work, Mrs.
Wagner Thomas was prominent. Mrs.
Thomas has devoted much time to vocal
study in European centers, and all Omaha
is proud of the manner in which she ac-
Quilted herself at the recent festival of

said in like full measure, are Miss Mary
Munchhoff, Miss Myrtle Moses, Mrs. Louise

Wicked people have no song" is the
German theory, and the lesson of the
saengerfest is that song begets content
ment and oontentment is synonymous with
happiness--and happiness is the goal Of
lifo. If man or woman or child is happy,
that settles It, What else is there to be de-
sired? And the Germans who congregated
In Omaha last week bore every outward
evidence of supreme happiness. Their
rudy cheeks told of physical health, their
smile-wreathed countenances bespoke
lightness of heart and their elastic step
as they marched song-laden from place to
place, some advanced in years, some in the
hey-dey of youth, impressed upon the
minds of those who stood in review that
the sturdiness Of the German race has

Ono especially pleasing feature OF the
saengerfest from an Omaha viewpoint, Is
the fact that the program was largely

one OF them. BY way of tribute TO Count
Creighton's memory, the official publication
of the Saengerbund recently contained a
portrait of him along with editorial men
ton in which his deep regard for Omaha
Germans was commented upon.
While German loyalty to the Fatherland
is never diminished, no matter how Ions
the German may remain away from the
kaisers domain, yet there is somethingIin
the nature of the German that enables Kim
to retain that loyalty as a sacred memory
and at the same time TO serve the United
States, his adopted country, with unswerv
ing allegiance. More than one name of
Teutonic origin was written into official
rosters On the side OF the union during the
civil war, and again when war with Spain
came up COMMUNICATIONS were found in
plenty along the firing line.
So, by way OF concluding analysis, there
comes the deduction that the German
American citizen, the exponent OF song, is
a good citizen.
