Greater Omaha and the Future.

With Monday the merger Of the govern
ments Of omaha and the recently enacted
suburbs Greater Omaha becomes fact, so far
as the legal processes are concerned. This with
due regard to whatever OF opposition may be
made by those who still pretend TO hold out
against the verdict OF the voters. To make It
Greater omaha in spirit as we'll as in name Will
require the hearty cooperation Of all the people.
To achieve this result II is not required that the
residents Of the attached districts give over
their pride in the towns they helped TO build,
but they should merge It with greater pride
in the newer omaha whose achievements are
expected TO outstrip those Of the past. South
Omaha will be as busy ever, and Dundee will
be as pretty in all ways, and the identity Of
neither will be entirely lost, because they have
come TO be part Of a more comprehensive whole.
Nor will any OF the interests Of residents OF
Omaha be neglected because of the expansion.
The new city will be we'll governed and its
affairs carefully administered, and with the
removal OF the problem OF annexation from the
program IT will be better than ever prepared TO
face other, and in some regards more. vital
questions OF city building
The future is bright for Omaha, and with
unity Of purpose among its people and the
healthy rivalry Of neighbors in striving to better
conditions and improve surroundings It will be
comparatively easy to realize the hopes all hold
for truly Greater Omaha.

patriotism Is not directly in proportion to the

brightly against the background OF history as It
does at this time Therefore, the observation
OF the nations birthday should this time be
celebrated with reyerential jubilRtion 90 pro-
found to appropriately mark its transcendent
Importance. II is because OF the blessings OF
freedom, much for any other reason that
we as a nation not involved in the world
war. and for this we should so manifest our
grateful thanks that the world will understand
we appreciate our privileges and advantages.
Such celebration can be made very imposing

"a Daniel Come to Judgment. y

very long ago the world held its breath while
Judge Lands put fine OF $2s,24O,OOO on a
great corporation, marking the limit of amerce-

Judge, and with due regard for the dignity Of
the United States and the majesty OF the GRIM
inal code, he inflcts fine OF 2 cents on a dairy
farmer. who had offended against the law in
protecting his herd OF cattle from an inspector.
The logic of the judge, in reviewing the case
is clear and refreshing. and his action is quite
in line with his argument. The fine OF many
millions assessed against the corporation was
removed by higher court; the fine of cents
against the dairyman paid by a couple of
bystanders And the law is INDICATED in both
cases while the Judge will continue to supply
the public with occasional draughts from the
