The Return of the Booster.

A delegation of the leading business
men of Omaha has just completed a
journey across the state in the inter-
est of closer trade relations between
the metropolis and the smaller towns
of Nebraska. In general the trip was
marked by the customary demonstra-
lions. Everywhere the trade boos-
ters" went they were met by the most
cordial welcome and given the most
hearty assurance of friendly interest.
In this regard the journey differed
only in degree from other similar
journeys that have been taken by
Omaha business men, but it is one
feature that is most interesting. A
better object lesson In the growth and
development of Nebraska could not
have been had than is offered by this
trip.
The boosters found that the map of
northwestern Nebraska had been en-
tirely changed since their last visit to
that section, only few years ago.
NueIb LhSu lutI6 was uOIulub, hOW
there are farms and happy homes.
Where railroad stations were then
merely whistling posts, now there have
grown up busting communities that
are thriving on the industry of the
new settlers who have come into this
section, and that these new settlers
are friendly TO Omaha was amply
demonstrated. Throughout the older
sections of the state the welcome ac-
corded the Omaha people was most
gratifying, and the sentiments ex-
pressed most encouraging. But the
enthusiasm in the newer parts of Ne
braska is an indication that the jour-
ney just completed has been more mo-
mentous in it's results than any of its
predecessors

Health and the Resorts.

1t is generally conceded that the
chief reason why health resorts are
beneficial to health is that people who
go to them follow a certain prescribed
code of rules calculated to restore
them and keep them in good physical
condition. II they would observe the
same system of living at their homes
they probably would not have to go
to resorts. AS rule the resorts are
In the same latitude and altitude as
their resident places and differ in no
material respect except that their
managers have reduced to science
the method of daily living and are
able to get people to adopt their
methods.
This Is saying nothing against the
resorts, nor that they are not needful
and helpful places. They are, be-
cause people will not do without them.
A busy man, for instance, so long as
he stays at home, where he is thrown
in daily contact with his business, is
going to pursue the same old routine
each day, and II he is suffering from
nervous disorder, of course he is not
likely to make much Improvement.
He has to be removed from his work
before he will do what is necessary
to build him up. The resort is the
city of refuge to him. He goes there,
follows out a certain routine for a
few days or weeks and returns all
sound and ready for another tug at
business.
Many men, you will ind, who work
hard the year round, except for a brief
annual vacation, who do not break
down and do not have to seek period
zeal relief at health centers. They
are the men, as a rule, who pursue an
even tenor working hard, perhaps,
but not worrying hard; who are tenn
perate in their zeal and who sleep in
stead of think when they lie down at
night after a strenuous day. The
same amount OF care and precaution
crowded into brief space of time in
an effort at restoring an overworked
system, judiciously distributed over
the year, would probably do more
good in the way of preventing than
1t could under the other circumstances

An UnseIfish Patriot.

OMAHA, May 27.--To the Editor of The
Bee; In answer to the article over the
names of John NJ. Guild, commissioner
of the Commercial club, and VIII A.
Campbell of the publicity department of
the same organization, who are members
Of the Ad club criticising Henry Gering,
president of the AID club, and myself for
advocating a society for home protection
and calling a meeting for that purpose. /
wish to state that these men take oc-
casion to criticise the Ad club for having
obtained the passage through the last
legislature of a bill for the commission
form Of government, The greatest thing
the Ad club has ever done was to secure
the passage Of that bill,
Then they complain because the
newspapers stated that the people were
going TO organize Home Protection as
ISOLATION for putting down crime and pre-
venting holdups and murders in the com
munity when the police department had
admitted through the papers, that they
were unable TO cope with the situation
for lack of funds. They call this bad ad-
vertising for Omaha If they call this
bad advertising, what do they call the
daily articles in the newspapers an
nouncing the murders. holdups, the ran
sacking of houses in broad daylight and
other crimes, and the helplessness of the
polce9 Is that good advertising? And
II the people offer their services to stop
this kind of business and advertise that
tact In the newspapers, isn't that the
kind of advertising to be put in, the
papers to counteract the daily list of
holdups? / presume these same self-ap-
pointed dictators would say that IL the
city was burning up and the fire depart
ment was unable to cope with the con-
ditions and unable to quelch the fire and
save the lives and property of the people
that 1t would be bad advertising to let
the world know that some of the pa
triotic citizens of the community were
willing 70 volunteer their services to help
the fire department out in its emergency
am not blaming the other parties who
signed the so-called protest with ]. NJ
Guild and VIII Campbell, because It has
been the custom in the Commercial club
to throw the responsibility for most of
these things upon their hired men. I am
satisfied IL a meeting was called of the
entire membership that as a body they
would condemn this protest. Neither
Henry Gering nor I am to blame for the
mention Of the Ad club or any other or
ganization in connection with this move
ment. There was not word stated in
that call about the Ad club or any other
commercial body except that the meeting
might be held in the Commercial club
rooms. The word ''Ngiantes" was never
mentioned in my written call nor In any
other article given by me to the papers.

prevailing element that rebuke pious
claims of high-headed patriotism and
serve to unmask the truth that dis
respect for law is entirely too common

Bryan's Choice.

The report is current in the east
and has been made the subject of no
little political gossip that Mr. Bryan
is soon to come out in the open for
Champ Clark as his choice for the
1912 presidential nomination. This
expectation, It is more than probable,
will be disappointed, for Mr.. Bryan
would be doing something he has
seldom, If ever, done, taking sides
before the entries are all in, and play
ing a favorite as against the field.
His usual practice Is simply to indi-
cate the candidate or candidates who
appear Objectionable to him. This
he has already done with reference
to Governor Harmon by giving him
notice Ito prepare to stand aside"
and the Ohio governor might have
company on the Bryan blacklist IL
some other plainly labeled representa-
tive of the interests" is projected
into the democratic arena. How Mr..
Bryan went after Judge Parker in
1904 and hammered him so hard in
advance of nomination that the dam
age could not be later repaired, even
by Mr.. Bryan himself taking the
stump in his behalf will be readily re-
called. In the convention that nomi-
mated Parker, Mr.. Bryan threw harm
less boquets at several OF the as
pirants and played safe by shooting
in the air and recording his own vote
for Senator Cockrell of Missouri, who
was not a candidate, nor even con-
sidered presidential timber.
An interesting complication for Mr..
Bryan, however, is quite among the
possibilities. He will doubtless want
to be delegate to the convention
and II he is selected will have to go
under the implied instructions of the
presidential preference vote in the
primary. To see Mr.. Bryan in the
convention instructed to favor some
one to whom he is personally opposed
requires a real stretch of the magma
ton. Nebraska, for example, for Har-
mon, with Bryan heading the delega-
ton, would be the irony of fate. Yet
in the whirligig of politics stranger
things than that have happened. Only
the threat of something like that,
therefore, is apt to force Mr.. Bryan
to enlist behind some one candidate
as against all others in advance of the
nomination.
