When the Flag Goes By.

Old Glory will pass through the streets of
Omaha today, as it will through all the cities OF
the United States, because this is day set apart
on which to honor the flag Of our country. 1t
will not be perfunctory observance this time,
nor the thoughtless ceremony Of time servers.
Il will be the sincere devotion Of earnest men
and women to the emblem of their country. They
will look beyond the symbol to the thing SYM
bolized, and by their presence today will dedi-
cate themselves to its service, and through it to
the service Of mankind This is time when
patriotism is being awakened under the stress Of
conditions and the people are seriously thinking
Of what citizenship really means. Its duties and
sacrifices are being considered now, as well as
its privileges and advantages When the flag
goes by today hats will come off with more Of
reverence than ever before, because it is good to
be permitted to live under it. and it is also good
to be permitted to die for it, II need be.

Senator stones Singular Apprehension.

Senator Stone Of Missouri, chief mouthpiece
at St, Louis for President Wilson, goes long
distance to find something to support his opposi-
tioa 70 the nomination Of Mr.. Hashss. His ex-
pressed apprehension that the supreme court OF
the United States 10 liable to be drawn into par
tisan politics Is too r-fctched to carry weight
The history Of the senator's own party will furn-
ISL precedent II one is necessary. In 1872 a
bunch Of reactionary democrats seized upon
Associate Justice David Davis, then on the su-
preme bench a. candidate to oppose Grant and
Horace Greeley although Judge Davis Withdrew
after accepting the nomination, and retar d his
seat on the bench. Five years later he took his
seat in the senate as democrat, and to the end
OF his life acted with that party being promi-
nently mentioned in two campaigns as a candi-
date for president. He gave the democrats in the
senate great prestige, succeeding Vice President
Arthur 40 presiding officer when Mr.. Arthur took
the presidential chair, No charge was ever made
that Judge Darts dragged the supreme court into
politics. Senator Stones statement shows the
desperation TO which the democrats are driven in
the present campaign. The fact that Mr.. Hughes
was once justice Of the supreme court does not
disturb the people at all. They want Hughes
for president, and will make the call effective by
their votes.

BAT FOR the Bull Moose.

Colonel Bryan no sooner reached St. Louis
than he announced himself As proponent Of new
treaty Of peace, planning to propagate coalition
between the progrsssives and the democrats. This
naturally appeals to the late secretary Of state,
who would show himself TO the world as the
champion Of his own scheme for saving his party.
He would thereby heap Goals Of fire on the head
Of the president, would confound Roger Sullivan
and others Of that ilk, and keep Bryan's name
bright before the public, But what assurance
can he offer the bull moosers that any promise
he makes to them in return for their support will
be carried outi Colonel Bryan drew the Balti-
more platform, and most solemnly pledged the
party to the promises therein contained. but the
only one the leaders ever tried halfway to re-
deem was that Of free trade If the bull moosers
permit the peerless leader to seduce them into
the democratic camp by his specious appeals, they
will show very little political perspicacity.

Omaha, June ITO the Editor Of The
Bee: Omaha has number Of bubbling water
fountains at which one is supposed to be
able to secure drink Of running city water.
But at many fountains this is far from be-
ing the case. The water instead Of gushing
out in a clear stream. 10 In many instances
turned on so low that in order to secure q
drink one must place his mouth against the
bulb. Some time ago Omaha abolished the
public drinking cup at the fountains for ssni-
tary reasons. but the sanitary conditions at
many Of our fountains are ~ bad, not
worse, than before.
II II IL impossible to regulate the flow OF
water at the fountains so that one would
have to place his lips against the bulb In
taking . drink why not add an attachment
by which each individual can turn on the
flow Of water to suit himselff
This latter scheme has proven = success
in many Of the smaller cities and II in
stalled here would pay for itself eventually
by the amount Of water saved.

Omaha q Growing Town.

Every stranger coming to Omaha naturally
forms impressions Of the city which he carries
away with him and which we are always curious
TO hear through the regularly propounded ques.
ton, How do you like our city1% The visitor
who has been here before can draw comparisons
which are still more edfying, as witness this
comment taken from letter received, in the
course Of business by one Of our principal mer-
camille houses after the writer Of It had returned
to his home in another wide-awake city:
Il certainly did notice that Omaha is grow
ing and that It is getting to be frst-class
town. As a matter Of fact, haven't recovered
yet from my surprise. My host took me
around everywhere, and had an awful hard
time recognizing old Omaha a. used to know
it from what Omaha is now. In fact, most
Of the time ] was completely bewildered and
couldn't get my bearings At ell, in spite Of
the fact that thought used TO know Omaha
pretty well.

front and identifying your city 10 amazing
You have far more pavement than we have,
and you have done far more TO take advantage
OF what little natural beauty you have to build
up city which find attractive In the extreme
Il think ] was pretty much everywhere in
your city, and was very much struck with the
number OF fine homes which you have. Ger

apparent everywhere, and ! got something OF
Jolt. | think will have to confess that my
mental attitude has been sort Of compassion
for people who had to live In Omaha, but
am absolutely prepared to make the most
emphatic apology Tor whatever may have
thought in the past, for you certainly have
corking town."
Although names are withheld, the significance
Of this tribute to Omaha must not be Most for Il
Is not so much the letter that counts as the
testimony TO Omaha's growth and progress which
will be constantly borne by the observer when
ever Omaha becomes the topic Of discussion with
