Public Schools Named
After Southern Heroes.

nected with some location in the south.
Sometimes they take the place of public
drinking fountains and thus serve a two
fold good. Recently the desirablity OF
naming public school buildings after
southern heroes has become popular and
the Robert L. Lee High School in Fay
etteville, Tenn owes much of its equip
ment to the Daughters who wished con-
tinually to keep in the minds of the stu
dents the splendid qualities of this great
leader.
The Daughters of the Confederacy have
also secured a number of scholarships
which they award to pupils who desire a
higher education. Miss Ruth Wilkins OF
Cartersyille, Ca. lately has been sent to
Vassar College under the auspices of the
Georgia Division of the Daughters of the
COnfederacy and the Louisville Division
maintains a scholarship at Loyola Uni
versity. A number of well iinown schools
and colleges have donated whole or par
,ial scholarships to be awarded by the
Daughters to deserving Children of the
Confederacy.
Although less than twenty years old
the United Daughters of the Confederacy
has become one of the most important
Womens organizations of the world. II
now has over twelve hundred chapters
representing almost every state in the
Union. There are twenty-.hree states
having divisions numbering at least three
chapters. The total membership now ap-
proXtm3tes S0,C0O and ii is rapidly in
creasin2 as there have been prizes OF
fered the different chapters for additional
members. There are strong bonds of
unity between southern women, and in
whatever state they settle they are unit
/ ing to form new chapters and to make
their organization more powerful each
day.

done much by erecting markers and mon
uments on the lesser fields of the great
struggle. as well as by identifying for
future generations the scenes of particu-
lar incidents of bravery and heroism.
The writing of essays upon Confederate
history by the school children. with es-
pecial reference to neighborhood Incl
dents, has been recommended as a means
Of securing the interest of the children.
as well as of recording the impressions
of survivors.
In the matter of benevolence to those
who We're especially entitled to their aid
the Daughters have always been most
liberal. In fact. it was the women who
composed the auxiliary connected with
the Confederate Soldiers Home in Ten
nessee who first conceived the idea Of
national organization of southern wom-
en-, and there never has been any dimi-
mutton of the generosity with which all
OF the wants of these old veterans have
been supplied. Some of the chapters
regularly send boxes of gifts to these
homes and frequently the old men are in
vHed to state the things they most de-
sire and they are promptly forthcoming.
The order has a special maintenance fund
for the purpose of giving speedy relief
to Confederate soldiers who are not pro-
vided for in the homes.

An Omnibus Convention.

That was a great convention in
Washington where the discussion
ranged from scientific marriage as a
means of improving the race down
to the effect Of funny paper pic
lures on the hobo problem. Inter
vening were such solemn subjects as
the high cost of living, the proper
distribution of natural products and
the equalizing of wealth and the use
of sinister drugs and chemicals upon
the hair and skin. Perhaps con-
gress has imagined that it's absence
from the national capital has dulled
existence there for the holidays, but
II will kindly take notice OF the
egreglous error into which II has
fallen, II that is what It thought.
The fun-making program was
opened by a recitation by Mr.. w.
NJ. Hays. assistant secretary OF
agriculture. upon the classical text
Of How 10 Classify the Peoples OF
the World Into a Great Interna-
tional Census" the purpose being to
tag each man. woman and child with
number by which they might be
identified when speared by Cupid.
But this is only a preliminary step
to the real object. which. as might
be guessed. was TO reduce matri-
mony 10 a scientific basis and thus
tone up the race. The address wai

plicity OF Mr.. Hays plan ought to
commend it to the instant accept
ance OF all nations. Il offers
scarcely any obstacle. II will be
but a perfunctory job to enumerate
and tag 100000 Chinese and a
few hundred million other orientals,
so that when we get down to this
handful of Americans the thing will
seem like mere child's play. And
then such little details as regulat-
ing the mental attitude and genetic
efficiency" would be still less Of a
task.
The fact is, of course, that many
II not all OF the things talked about
at this omnibus convention, deserve
attention, but It tends to bring
serious subjects of their character
into ridicuie to handle them in the
wholesale, academic manner they
we're handled by this gathering. If
they are worth talking about. they
are worth talking about under cir
cumstances that promise a serious
hearing for them.

REVERE OF "a GooDFELLow.,

OH the happy days Just past!
Christmas love. That kind will last.
We've all been happy and content;
We've just found out what Christmas
meant.
Peace and happiness regned supreme.
Was il all a Christmas dream?
All those blessed nights and days,
Planning out our means and ways.
We can look with pleasure true,
On these days we've Just passed through
Were they all just what they seemed,
Or have we slept, and all this dreamed2
They were 30 fun of peaceful joy!
So precious seemed each little toy.
And every single, blessed thought.
with love. and Joy, and peace was
fraught.
Now are these all just what they seem,
Or is it all a Christmas dream?
Those happy days. Those peaceful hours.
Oh! blessed time in Christmas bowers.
They now have passed beyond recall,
His precious love shines through them all,
We know these hours are what they
seem,
And not fleeing Christmas dream.

Not Caused by cover Religion"

OF The Bee: Laurie J. Qulnby is quoted
in tonight's Bee as saying OF tho unfortu-
ate George w. Parker. whose sad condi-
ton all his numerous friends deplore:

brought up very orthodox in the Episco-
palisn church. when he left the church
he got out altogether and into material
ism. His faith was completely shaken and
there was nothing left. lie was hard
driven in the line of orthodoxy"
Mr.. Quinby may have been misquoted.
But assuming that he made this state
ment. at least in substance, am quite
sure he, being interested in truth, will
welcome this correction.

the spring of 1905 was not over religion"

was. as / foresaw, a loss OF faith. But
even that was not the cause OF his mem
tai breakdown. II was due to incessant
labor in writing book in reply to Dix

read that book the injustice of 1t seemed
to set him on fire. He addressed himself
to the task of answering 1t and worked in

without food and proper sleep, and as the
result OF that tension he became violently
insane. Many of us who know and love
him, and there has never been any break in

about him since that time lest from over
study, he might break down again. No,

America and the New Year.

THE legacy of the vanished year
Odd" 1t has been we'll said. "is
the unrest OF the world" This IL
especially true TO America, to which
this legacy is OF priceless value, for
the unrest means the progress and
propagating OF the principle OF de-
mocraey, fundamental in the life OF
this nation, the highest gift 1t has to
make to the nations OF the earth. As
we of this land turn, therefore, from
the old to the new year, we should
feel thrill Of particular pride in
this triumph our example and our
government are achieving in the
forum of the world.
This unrest has brought to Por-
tugal what must prove later to be a
permanent republic; to China the
same; to Mexico release from an in
Auence. which, while potent, had
passed its day OF progressiye useful
ness and led our sister republic out
into the field OF wider influence and
purer republlcanism. Also, under the
inspiring leadership Ola great presi-
dent, the United States has negoti-
ated with Great Britain and France,
two OF the world powers, a peace
treaty, which will substitute friendly
arbitration for the abitrament of
arms in times Of disputes. In South
America the same heaven of demo-
cratic inspiration ia at work. so is It
in far-off India and In Spain.
On the other hand, OF course, this
unrest OF the nations, this changing
the map OF the world, has It's harsher
side. Russia In Persia, Italy and
Turkey wrangling over northern
Africa, with England and Germany
interested spectators; again Russia
and Japan awaiting the first oppor-
tunity to take advantage of China's
upheaval for conquest---all these are
sure evidences that democracy has
many a stubborn obstacle TO en-
counter in its course. But even these
obstacles offer it encouragement, for
they offer 1t opportunity for further
spread.
The year OF 1912 has a tremendous
task before in continuing and ad-
vancing the work that 1911 began or
participated in and left unfinished.
The New Year dawns, therefore, most
auspiciously for this nation and all
nations believing in government OF,
by and for the people.

The Year for Omaha.

Omaha's balance sheet for 1911
makes a showing that must convince
all OF its steady growth in all aspects
Of urban life and importance. While
some factors do not mount up to
previous great totals the combined
figures indicate that during a year
OF generally dull trade Omaha not
only held its own, but made real adj
vance.
Jobbers and manufacturers report
very prosperous year, the totals for
the trade showing an increase over
19tO's figures. Packers did not do
so much. and the bank clearings,
building permits and real estate
transfers we're less than during the
preceding year, but yet each Of these
presents an aggregate that indicates
a remarkably healthy activity. All
branches OF public work show i'm
provement for the year. This increas-
ing expenditure for the care OF the
streets, the parks and other public
places is evidence OF the clty's de-
velopment
With the books for the old year
closed the citizens turn to new
year, whose opening days promise
only growth and prosperity. In al
most every line OF business the i'm
pulse OF new life is felt, and the
coming OF new enterprises of in
dustry and commerce are assured, to
the end that 1912 presages another
big year for Omaha. Among business
men OF all classes is manifest a spirit
Of commendable determination. which
properly exerted will result in ex-
banded commerce for the city. The
same spirit that marks the CONNER
oial and Industrial life of Omaha is
shown in its social life, and the for
ward movement is on.
Happy New Year, then, to all, and
with Il the brightest OF prospects for
prosperity In Omaha.
