ton of experts, who are prepared to impart

baby's chance for life. to decrease the number
OF deaths due TO careiessness, TO lack of proper
attention and to preventable disease. To give
baby better show for his little life, to enable
him to grow up stronger and healthier, is to inn
prove the nations greatest asset its men and

The Place to Pull Torsthsr.

Omaha has reached the point where 1t is
entitled TO a new Union depot to take the place
of its present outgrown station, and the time is
ripe for consistent and persistent agitation to
bring the railroads into line for IT, The Bee is
naturally gratified at the response awakened by
its advocacy of a new depot proving that in this
1t is truly voicing the popular demand.
But The Bee has no monopoly upon the pull
for new depot for Omaha. nor is It the only
newspaper interested in the upbuilding Of our
city. Our contemporaries have, from time to
time, indicated that they favor such a project,
and there is no reason why they should now be
silent or draw back simply because The Bee is
leading We invite all the other newspapers
that want TO grow with growing Omaha to
join with TO help stimulate the city's growth,
which at this particular moment stands in
greater need Of nothing more than it does of
adequate modern accommodations for its in
coming and outgoing passenger travel
The revival of railroad construction activi-
ties is already under way throughout the country
and at no time in the last ten years have con-
ditions been encouraging for securing for
Omaha this much needed Improvement.

For the rulers speak His name.
And ask Him to scourRe the foemen

And the God Of the weeping mother
And the God Of the murdered son,
Is He that Other One
That the king calls down from heaven
To fight for the empires cause.
And follow the grim war eagles
With tho bloody beak and claws2
The God OF the slaughtered ieRfons.

And the God of the weeping women
With tears that fall Ike rain
Is He the God OF the Rulers.
The God that the kings call down
To help them slay His children

Respect for the Law.

President Dryden of the Nebraska Bar asso-
citation expresses his regret at the growth OF
disrespect and lack OF regard for the law in the
United States. In his address TO the Omaha
lawyers he touches on some phases OF this con
dition that are worth studying, Our national
habit of aw-making has led US into its natural
consequence the habit OF law-breaking. Adopt
ing the fetich "be Il enacted" we have under
taken 10 adjust and regulate every social indus
trial commercial or political relation by some
specific law, and often by more than one, and
not infrequently by conflicting provisions. II
has come to such pass that even the judges
on the bench do not know what the statutes
are, and from the confusion the layman has
drawn contempt he is not laggard in express
ing. The belief that coach and four" can
still be driven through any law enacted is not
calculated to increase respect for the ever
swelling list OF statutes.
Mr. Dryden also points out that the bar is
responsible for the increase in the crime of per-
jury, and sharply critlcizes the prevalent prac-
tice in damage suits. Here the greatest of
modern abuses OF the courts is found with the
lawyer as the direct beneficiary of a crime that
defeats justice and brings disrepute to bench
and bar alike. II the INSCRIPTIONS lawyer may
disregard written and unwritten law alike, and
yet retain his standing in his profession, how
can the respectable members OF the bar look
for respect among the people7
Here the reform must come from within.
The bar must purge itself OF its tricksters and
shysters. When the lawyers give over their
sharp practices and cease to aid in levying
blackmail through suborned perjury and legal
technicalities, the people may come to have
higher regard for the law itself
