from the southwest to Los Angeles
have discovered the ideal "hotel

nearer to home, with a tribe

Nearly Time for a Change.

The story Of disastrous collision between
street car and switching train at Detroit says
it is the third accident Of the kind at the same
crossing within the year. This would naturally
suggest that the city authorities of Detroit should
give some attention to this crossing. 1t is also
reminder that Omaha has number Of dangerous
unprotected crossings; the Detroit crossing did
have gates, but in Omaha even these are lacking
Appeals and protests alike arc unavailing, appar-
emily, for nothing is being done to make these
dangerous places secure. The Missouri Pacific,
notably is able to defer action at will. Vaducts
it was ordered to build several years ago have not
been started, while the entire length OF its Belt
Line tracks presents succession of unprotected
grade crossings, most OF them without as much
as aagman to warn traffic. How much longer
are the railroads and the city commissioners going
to daily over the question Of making grade cross
ings safe?

His Highness the Hog.

Omaha is entertaining some real royalty this
week, as well as the mythical kind. His highness
the Hog is with US, born in the purple and regaly
bred, and by his actual presence reminds US Of
one Of the principal stones in the foundation that
supports the material greatness Of which the allie
gorcal monarch is the outward sign. The Ma
tional Swine show has brought together the most
valuable and representative assemblage Of por-
cine arstocracy ever gathered. 1t offers an amaz-
ing exhibition of perfection in pigs, fairly start
ling in its contrast to the careless city notion born
OF familiarity alone with the golden brown of
sizzling bacon, the tempting crimson OF broiled
ham, or the alluring pink of we'll fried chop.
Pigs might have been pigs, merely, in that far-of
day when swine were listed as razor backs"
hazel splitters," gate filters" and the like and
were permitted to run wild under the trees, gath
erng the mast for sustenance and defying mans
best effort to cover their saunt ribs with proper
coating of leaf lard. This unpromising animal has
been, by scientific care, remodeled into wonder
fully efficient machine for turning corn, alfalfa
and the like into meats whose SAVIOR wins cpl
eurean applause, and whose price on the market
swells the bank account Of his thrifty breeder.

Omaha Must Care for All Visitors.

The people Of Omaha seem not yet to realize
fully the obligation they are under to take care
Of all visitors from abroad accepting our invita-.
ton to come here this week.
The combination OF the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities
and the celebration OF the semi-centennial OF Ne
braska's statehood with the president OF the
United States participating in the commemorative
exercises, are sure to bring to this city more
strangers than have ever before been within our
gates at one time. The fact is that our hotels
and customary accommodations for the travelling
public are already taxed to their ordinary capacity
and unless extraordinary efforts are put forth
thousands of visitors will have their needs for
food and shelter unprovided for.
OF course this situation will not be present
because it is up to us to put forth an extraordi-
nary effort. II is incumbent upon every citizen
Of Omaha in position to help meet the impending
demand, to respond to the urgency OF the occa-
sion. All the available rooms for lodging should
be listed at once with the agencies that are at
the disposal of our visitors, and these agencies
should be ready with enlarged forces to supply
all acquisitions upon them.
II must be remembered that Omaha is the
host and that every householder in our city shares
the responsibility for maintaining our reputation
for painstaking hospitality. 1t is not a question
Of ability or willingness to take proper care OF
everyone who comes but Of modifying the facili-
ties and making them available for use -
