PUBLIC WELFARE
APPEALS TO BEST

Value in Coming Campaign.
is NOT A FAD OR A vAeARY

"And the city election is coming on
pardon my referring to it. gentlemen,
but you all know IT, nevertheless-and
you will make tremendous appeal to
the best sense OF your very best thinking
people by stressing the importance OF
this great work. You need not fear crlti-
cism for promoting fad or vagsry. for
you will simply be advocating measures
to thrust your city into the forefront Of
modern Improvements. such as the most
progressive cities have or soon will have.
Thus DR.. Cyrus e. Stimson, the ma
tional recreation expert, addressed the
city commission in its chamber Tuesday
morning in buttressing his appeal for
immediate steps toward the establishment
Of public welfare board.
Proposed Ordinance.
DR.. Stmson talked informally at some
length, then at the commissions request
read a proposed ordinance drawn by City
Attorney Rine. with his advice, calcu-
lated TO give the city the reform he ad-
vocates. This ordinance specifies no APP
preparation, for the simple reason that
no money is now available, save the little
$4,000 budget for the parks. The ordi-
nance could not, therefore, become effec-
tive until 1915. when the commission
makes up it's new budget.
But that is all the more reason"
urged DR.. Stimson, for beginning our
preparation now"
And most OF the commissioners present
thought so. too. In fact, the commits
sioners seem TO be working in very close
harmony with DIR. stimson.
Men and womeD on Board.
This proposed ordinance, which is yet
to be dressed down considerably, provides
for a nonsalarjed board OF five. men and
women, with comprehensive powers and
duties. 1t would have supervision over.
not alone the public child play life, but
charities. housing conditions aud every
economic welfare OF these requiring public
attention. II would have power to inquire
into alleged mistreatment of prisoners in
local jails, to look after wife and child
abandonment. censor charity soliciting,
taking this and other such enoumbrances
off the Commercial club. This board
would be nominated by the mayor and
confirmed by the commission.
DR. Stimson is impressed with the con-
sentative character OF the Omaha people
and therefore the need of patient CO.
operation along these lines TO secure what
he conoeives to be essential improvements.
Final action on the ordinance was de-
ferred until the latter part of the week,
when Mayor Dahiman shall have returned
from his sojourn at Excelsior Springs

What the President Did Not Saw.

President Wilson wanted to say something to
the Daughters OF the American Revolution that he
did not say. when he spoke TO them atlhe opening
thing in his mind which he did not feel at liberty
TO give expression to he confessed to the Daugl,-
tiers in these words: Il cannot speak ladies' as
you know, III more than general terms. Indeed
1t Is IndlScrcet for to speak at all. But | can
ask you to rally TO the cause which is dcarer in
the cause OF righteousness as ninistcred to by
those who hold their minds quiet and Judge ac-
cording to principle" There was not word in
what the President said that would have aroused
speculation onjccture but for his reference to
the Indlscretion OF his speaking; but now the
retrained from saying to them. Quite naturally
the favorite guess is that it was something about
the war. The conflict in Europe must be upper
most IN his mind, since it presents to him daily
his greatest problems; and what is more likely
than that TOR moment the President felt a

women just what he thought of the war and the
causes that brought it about. But neutrality for

Seeing the President.

Even the most exclusive of our Presidents
have been easy of access as compared with the
European ruler a high functionary hedged
about by doors and guards. 1t has not been diff
6cult for any one having business with the Pres
ident to sec him. The casual visitor who merely
desired to "pay his respects found the way rea-
sonably open.
Naturally not every one could walk in on the
President unannounced, and his secretaries tried
to save him much possible, but Mr.. Will
son, since he has been in the White House, has
lived up to his preinauguration declaration.
There was never time when there has been
so little formality at the White House. or when
its occupant could be- readily reached, and
curously enough this privilege has facilitated the
transaction of business and thus far led to nc
abuse.
The Presidents visitors are sifted through his
secretary who makes the Presidents engagements
and watches the list to see they kept and no
person overstays his allotted time.
Many persons who would like to see the Prcs-
dent must go away disappointed. He is either too
busy to see them at the time or the secretary can
dispose Of them without troubling the President.
but the limit is stretched to the utmost. and the
President IS very good about receiving visitors
