United States self.sustaining.

II an embargo on exports and imports from
Europe should result as outcome Of present
negotiations, what would be the effect on the
United States? Should all traffic with Europe
be entirely cut off, readjustment OF some OF
the details OF business would be necessitated,
but otherwise the United States would go on
about the same. SOM domestic articles Of
general use might cease to masquerade under
foreign labels but that is about all that would
greatly change.
The United States produces everything that
is needed for the comfort and well being OF
Its people. and is capable OF supplying their
every want. Life would go on without cont
munication from Europe in much the same way
with the creation and accumulation OF wealth,
the production of all useful and necessary
tcles, and the luxuries OF life as we'll. and the
people would progress in all the ways of civliza-
ton. The United States is absolutely self-sus-
tanning.
The strength of this position can hardly be
understood, but is the more appreciated when
the position OF some OF our European competi-
tors is considered. In this strength is found
the surest guaranty for the continuance of the
peace and prosperity OF this nation.

Anyone who has lived or travelled in the

The festivals and concerts bring visitors

usually form the strongest supporters OF

Let us all then boost for Omaha in

the writer is a humble member Of the

By WAY Of Suggestion.

Some of the opponents Of Greater Omaha

end" which means a last desperate effort to
prevent the bill from passing with the emer-
gency clause that would. make it effective az
once. Those who talk this way are for the most
part payroll office-holders who want the opera
ton Of the merger delayed in order that they
may remain connected up with the treasury for
three months longer. Our suggestion is that
these patriots are standing in their own light
that, IL successful in their purpose they will be
sacrificing the rights OF the people who put them
in office to a voice in their local government
for a paltry few dollars Our further sugges-
tion is that these sef-seekers look ahead little
farther than three months.

Lincoln and Omaha

Over-zealous newspaper spokesmen indulg-
ing in mock heroics are again threatening tho
entente cordiale between Omaha and Lincoln,
and so far as we can see there ia no occasion for
IL whatever. Omaha and Lincoln are competi
tors in very limited fields Lincoln has little
that Omaha would want to take from IL even II
IL could and omaha has nothing worth having
that Lincoln can take from us. Occasionally the
competition makes us think that Lincoln is mar
row in preferring to keep Omaha from securing
n prize just because II is out Of Lincoln's reach,
as. for example, the reserve bank location, but,
on the whole, both Lincoln and Omaha have
everything to gain and nothing TO lose by culti-
waiting friendly relations and working together
for their annual upbulding. We are glad to say
that the disposition toward helpful cooperation
has been much more in evidence of late than 1t
used to be. and there is good reason why it
should not be more and more unless set at
cross purposes by petty chickering's.
