what Omaha Really Wants.

The temporary subsistence in the debate over
the bill to empower the Metropolitan Water dis
trict to go into the street lighting business
should not have the effect OF misleading any
one. The parties on both sides are just as &C
tive as ever, while the publics interest in this
measure Is not being looked after by either.
What Omaha wants is already within its grasp
this is, the right to buy or build municipal
lighting plant without being compelled by law TO
indulge in any costly experimentation, even
though the same be paid out of a surplus fund
accumulated by the Metropolitan Water district
through its persistence in overchargng the pub
lie for the service rendered

WAHOO, Neb. Feb. lO.-To the Editor
Of The Bee We heartily agree with our
unknown friend at Piainview when he
says that there are some queer views
expressed I'm The Bees letter box. But
we must insist that the nature. the quail

look at II. II is always possible for two
men 20 look at the same object or the
same subject at the same time and not
arrive at the same conclusion. Viewed
from one angle a given object or a given
subject will produce a certain effect or a
specific sensation and when viewed from
a different angle may produce a diamet-
really opposite effect. At any rate 1t Is
very evident that my critic who writes
from PlRinview. and myself are not

wbv worry, Indeedt


OMAHA. Feb. 14.-To the Editor Of The
Bee. One would think that 1t was Schles-
wig-Holstein that they are fighting for
over in the trenches OF Europe. judging
from the communications on that sub
iect in this column. 1t is a controversy
about as easy to settle as the question
who is to blame for starting the war.
am not going to get into this controversy
1 would like to say a ward to the Ameri-
cans of Danish blood who are mixing in
Il, though.
1 am an American Of Danish extraction.
II is unnecessary in view of that state
ment for me TO say that I am with
them on the question Of the lost prov
inoes" of Denmark. We, whose fathers
came from Denmark, are sure justice
was with the Danes. Anyway, we are
for Denmark, right or wrong.
But what's the use OF mentioning IT,
particularly at just this time? Denmark
is not in this war and is mighty glad of
it. More than that the United States of
North America is at peace and hoping to
stay so. And whatever country we came
from. we are here in America, citizens OF
the republic. Why not let it go at that
and let the people whose Netherlands are
engaged in war shell the editors of the
newspapers with letters of belligerent
tenor?
1t is easy to understand why one whose
ancestors hale from England, or France,
or Belgium should desire to charge the
Germans with copy paper. 1t is not in
comprehensive that sons of Teuton
fathers are trying to torpedo the British
or their allies with a typewriter. One
can imagine why Prussian should
mourn in public print when he hears that
Petrograd has confirmed a British re-
port of servian victory.
But tell me please. and quick, why
should an American whose parents were
born under the Danish flag, citizen of a
nation at peace and descended from
people at peace. tell me why should he
worry TO the extent of rushing into the
papers with a letter to the editor? Let
the Britons and the Germans and their
Turk and Japanese and other allies and
enemies fight It out In the bitches or on
the deep. And IL that is not enough. let
the countrymen over here, respectively,
OF these same belligerents. fight it out
through instruments of writing or print
ing with each other and with the un-
fortunate person who handles the Let
ter Box contributions.
II we Americans of Danish descent had
nothing more to fret over than the
SchleswIg- Holstein affair. / venture to
say, assuming long life results from lack
OF worry. that every one of us would
live to the alleged age OF the mythical
Methusaleh. Sincerely yours for an arm
istice, IL not peace.
