Omaha daily bee., 1917-02-11

Here is patient merit at last come into its
own, modest persistence rewarded, and the hum
blcst OF the barnyard denzens lifted to the loftiest
place in the arena. Forbidden once human food
listed yet in some regions as the diet of unbe-
levers, and condemned through the ages to the
situation OF an undesirable the pig has grunted
his way to the top as food animal, il price alone
is to gauge the risht to the guerdon, His ascend
ancy is in spite OF prejudice as old as the human
race; it has been accomplished in spite Of advice
as earnest as ever was given, and over laws long
laid down and still worthy OF respect because Of
being both sane and sanitary. His swinsh emf
hence is a triumph for science, blend OF vegeta-
BILE and animal breeding that has developed
dainty to which all mankind pays unctuous tribute,
morning, noon and night In whatever guise he
comes to the table nowadays, the pig is welcome;
and out Of that welcome, like others the public
delights to honor, he wrings a golden stream to
reward those whose foresight ahd enterprise have
found expression in the droves now coming to
market by the scores of thousands The man who
eats may groan and grin, but the man who raises

Greatest Show on Earth.

In the heyday OF his glory Phineas Barnum
billed his business as The Greatest Show on
Earth" None disputed his claim Heirs he had,
but the title apsed for time, remaining dor
msnt until the automobile gave il new life and
BETTING significance. II the shade OF Bsrnum
should return to the scenes Of his triumphs and
view the round Of automobile shows now moving
by schedule through the country il is not TO be
doubted the old laures would be confirmed in
the new holders
Beginning at New York and stretching from
coast to coast the circuit OF auto shows proceeds
with eyer-growing popularity. The round is little
more than begun. Those already held, whether
dignifled as salons or designated Shows" en-
phasized the gripping pull Of the automobile on
the public. Attendance and orders alike exceeded
former records and clearly points to another sur
passing year Of auto prosperity.
Omaha is certain to hold the show pace Of
eastern cities, and the state maintain its rank
- third in number of cars to population. The
licenses issued BY the state already show one car
to every fourteen persons. A higher ratio Is
probable. In truth the rush into automobile cir
cies approaches stage where those who openly
resist the fever become objects Of friendly solicit
tude q medical attention. -.

Gardening in Elementary City SCHOOLS.

The United States bureau Of education is en-
courag'ag the movement to extend gardening
among the elementary city schools. 1t is pre-
seued as fact that "in or about almost any
city may be found an abundance of land that
may be used for productive gardening BY the
school children. Within the limits OF many cities
there is sufficient land, if intensivey cultivated to
supply the people with all the vegetables and a
large proportion OF the fruits and flowers needed"
In this is nothing new except that it is recognized
by the school authorities as possible offset to
demoralizing conditions now complained Of. Gar
dening will take the place OF mischief that comes
with hours OF idleness, may be solution for the
child labor problem, and surely will aid in the
cost OF living. Omaha has carried on for several
seasons, under direction of devoted committee,
successful competition for the school boys and
girls m gardening. The campaign with profit may
be extended until it becomes a real factor in the
Juvenile life Of the city rather than lad pursued
BY few, Gardening properly directed hot only
provides wholesome and instructive occupation
for the Youngsters. but gives returns in which all

About 40 per cent Of the debt represents

Old Shasta, pioneer town in Shasta
county. California, Is passing away. A few
residents remain Of the thousands that were,
but the air distinctly is that Of a deserted
village. In the golden days of its glory
Old Shasta sported a log cabin prison in
which Joaquin Miller was confined for some
slight offense. The poet of the Sierras' y
was then in his twenties. In the dead of
night, SO the story goes, an Indian girl
with whom he was infatuated. rescued him
and the couple fed. The Indian girl after

gone but romance put marker on the spot.
New York's health department urges a

find that arrests and fines for violation of

a club which few care to invite.

Home Conditions and Delinquency.

In California some effort has been expended
on a study OF home conditions as cause OF
juvenile delinquency. The announced result might
have been anticipated. 1t has been discovered
that most of the bad boys and girls come from
neglected homes, and in anslyzing the result
further it is found that various causes which COM
bine to produce poor home surroundings have a
direct effect on the delinquency. This knowledge
will be of little service, even in the laboratory.
unless it be applied eonstructvciy to the greater
use of how to curb those home conditions. Cali
fornia has had another commission at work for
several years at an equally serviccabIc research,
that Of study OF housing conditions in the state.
1t is found by this commission that the connec-
ton between poor housing and deficient homes
is direct The remedy suggested is better hous-
ing for the poorer classes.
In Omaha last week official report on some
work along similar lines recalled discoveries made
by Walter Besantsin the East End OF London,
after the County Council had set up its model tene-
mcnts Bcsant found the bath tubs used BY the
occupants Of the model tencmcnts as coal bunk
ers. The Omaha investigation found the same
condition. Habits of shiftlcssuess and slovcnly
ways are largely the same around the world Nor

The remedy for this is readily suggested, but
how to give it practical application is most diff
cult. Charity workers have ever found their more
trying task in endeavoring to arouse the really
submerged to an effort at self-help Bad housing
makes for bad homes, and produces juvenile de-
linqueney as naturally as water runs down hill.
The reformer who will devise means to overcome
the condition will be genuine benefactor of

Loyalty Of Organized Labor.

Remembering the studied abstention Of Of
sanized labor men from participating in the pre-
paredness and flag day parades Of last year, it
is gratifying in the present national crisis, though
not at all surprising, to have prompt expressions
OF patriotic loyalty from the recognized spokes-
men OF the laboring classes
Members Of organized labor have generally
taken stand against so-called "niltarism," but
they have never been wanting in devotion to their
country in time of trial.
The ranks Of labor, however, like the ranks Of
all other classes, contain exceptions and extrern-
lists whose unpatriotic declarations do not repre-
sent the great body of workers The Western
Laborer, printed here as an organ OF union senti-
ment, vigorously denounces and repudiates the
resolutions spread broadcast out of Omaha, pur-
porting to come from local branch OF the social
list party protesting against the presidents action
in breaking off diplomatic relations with Ger
many aud calling upon all loyal comrades ito
refuse to bear arms in this infamous cause"
Such sentiment issued in time OF war" de-
clares the Laborer, would be plain case OF
treason" and in the same connection it says:
Eve believe the individual members of Of
gained labor of Omaha are just as good eiti-
ZeiS, just dS ioydl 10 tnc government VI oui
country, just as patriotic and just as capable
of sacrifice for its perpetuity as any class of
citizens anywhere in the country. There has
been magnificent self-control on the part of the
individual members of organized labor in this
city in preserving strict neutrality, when one
considers the memberships to be made up of
men Of all nations.
Each individual member Of organized labor
must be ready to do his bit for his country.
As President Gompers says: "A country that
is not worth fighting for is not worth anything
IF the wor<ingmen OF Europe can fight as
they are now doing, for what they have been
getting, we ought to fight like a hundred mil
lion buzz saws for what we havr
There should be no sidestepping no slut
tering. no fault-hnding, no begging the question.
The members of organized labor are part
of the government of the Union OF the United
States and there should be no 'scabbng' on
the big, first Union"
This is the kind OF talk that rings true! This
is the kind Of talk that counts! This is the kind
of talk that vindcates organized labor!

THE TAVERN OF ROMANCE.

Glenn ". Dresbach in New York Times
I met him on the sunny road.
And 1t was far from here,
Out where each little happy breeze
Caught sweetness from the grass and trees
And whispered words Of cheer.
And when | asked him whence he came
He smiled and made reply:
out Of the Melting Pot of Things
l came to hear the thrush that sings
Beneath the good blue sky
Where win you rest tonight" l said,
$50 many do not knowD
where will you drink the health OF years
And eat the simple food that cheers
After the sun Ia low?"
And he replied. and in his smile
He answered more, perchanoe,
my wine shall be from some clear spring
And shall eat and shall sing
In the Tavern Of Romance"
where is the Tavern Of Romance,
'Oh, where?" shouted then,
"A thousand hearts I know that wait
To enter at It's golden gate,
To laugh and sing again"
He looked, oh, far away. and smiled.
And then his voice rang clear:
IT built 1t for myself" he said.
