was done last spring in South Omaha"
said J. T. Hardy OF Omaha, in an inter-
view in the Washington Herald The
Omaha company didn't do II on a wager.
They had to get an exchange working in
South Omaha within six weeks or get into
all sorts OF trouble with the courts and
face the possibility OF losing their fran
chise. On account OF the big stock yards
business there the franchise is very val
liable. Early in April the court order
authorizing the construction was issued.
and then the fun began.
The architect drew up pencil sketches
Of. the general plan, and these were used
for the beginning Of the work, The details
were figured out and added later. Within
two or three days more than a month a
two-story steel frame building was COM
pleted. This is not so remarkable, as
buildings are rushed in big cities without
exciting much comment But the work of
making the connections was more import
ant. and involved much more labor.
Trenches had to be dug and conduts laid
Some OF the time 1t rained very hard, and
workmen could not be induced to stay on
the job The trenches ran through the
clay soil, and there was danger that the

the trenches with awnings, and the men

between telephones was put in forty days
after the work started, and within six weeks
after the court had issued the order the
complete switching equipment for at least
a thousand lines was in readiness. AS a
telephone exchange usually occupies
months in building, this feat is regarded
as remarkable one by men who know

Discrimination.

Before the United States minister to Tur-
key, Mr.. Oscar s. StrAus, could go to St.
Petersburg he had to get q special public
permit to enter the empire because he Is a.
Jew. That may be Russian law, but II is
an insult to the United States, and we
should insist that no such rule should apply
to our diplomatic servsnts-New York indie
pendent.
If this is true, as 1t doubtless is, we
as a nation should tamely tolerate no
discrimination against our citizens
based on religion. The exclusion from
Russia of our United States minister
to Turkey from entering the empire
without special permit, however, is
no more insult to the United States
than the similar exclusion every day
of other law-abiding American citizens
travelling abroad for business or pleas
ure simply because they are Jews, ex-
cept insofar as it strikes at a more
distinguished man and an official rep
resentative of our people.
Our government at Washington has
been working for some time to get
Russia to cease this discrimination
against American citizens, and the
point should be pressed harder until
yielded. If we in defiance of our
treaty professions undertook to draw
the line against Russians who, for ex-
ample, belong to the Russian orthodox
church, Russia would vigorously and
rightly protest, and We ought to be no
less urgent in asserting and enforcing
the privilege which American citizens
are entitled to expect from friendly
nations enjoying reciprocal favors.

Lincoln star.
Thanks are due to the people OF Omaha
for the magnificent ovation given by them
to Mr.. Roosevelt. and the outbrust OF
enthusiasm that accompanied his coming
to Nebraska. II was the misfortune OF
other towns in the state that all OF Ne
braska's ardent friendship and admlrstio
for the ex-president. whom Senator Bur
kett aptly characterized as the most dis
tnguished man in all the world, had to
be Jumped into the Omaha greeting. The
men OF Nebraska have not wavered in the
allegiance that led them to roll up a
majority Of unprecedented proportions for
Roosevelt when he ran for president in
1904
As the colonel only found it possible to
make one stop in the state, and having
conferred that favor upon Omaha, 1t was
necessary that the overwhelming sentiment
of the state should be crowded into the
brief expression possible during his one
days presence In Omaha, and 1t must be
said that Omaha provided that II should
be so sincere as to be unmistakable. With
careful forethought the promoters OF the
reception seem to have contemplated that
the people of other portions OF the state
would like to be represented and accord
ingly extended invitations quite generally
and generously to those living in other
parts Of the state who might wish to look
into the eyes Of the colonel and clasp his
hand with cordial warmth
Omaha put all the warmth possible into
the greeting extended. In doing so it be-
spoke only the sentiment that animates
all Nebraska. The name of Roosevelt has
long been one to conjure with in this state.
All OF his characteristics are appreciated
and admired by Nebraskans, even those

There was certainly great gathering

was notable.
The guests from over the state were all
honored with the title of vice president

or Artemus Wards company during the
civil war in which every enlisted man was
TO be called general. So there was no
rivalry for honors at Omaha.
The tremendous meeting in the afternoon
at the Auditorium was a great sight and
the colonel arose to the occasion. His
theme, the Panama canal, was nonpartisan
and gave opportunity for the utterance OF
patriotic sentiments by the speaker which
thrilled the vast audience.
