REVIVAL OF "pupDNHEAD WILSON"

Omaha is long way from Broadway but a
radio wave may travel the distance it is even pos.
sibe that suggestion from Omaha may have some
weight among the powers that be in the world Of
the theater down there. This is offered for what it
is worth.
Many so-called modern plays have proved fail
ures or at best short-ved successes. Their appeal
has not been such as to meet the call Of the pub
lies restless mood rather disquieting thought
is that the plays which have endured are those
marked by definite quality Of depression of mood
Pretending to discuss life in terms Of actually they
take up only some detached episode, plausible
enough yet showing but glimpse and not cross
section Of society. Such dramatic clinics serve
purpose, but they do not satisfy.
Recourse is had to revivas to fill out the gaps
that are left by want of new material. and not at
all strange some Of these revivals proving really
successful. Particularly on the have plays
of few years ago found joyous welcome from the
multitude, most of whom had never the drama
offered in any form This thought leads to the sug
gestion that more of these plays might be resur-
rected and made Of.
"Pudd'nhead Wilson" is one in mind. It
shown in Omaha by Frank Mayo and splendid
company quarter Of century ago; it practically
dropped out when Mayo died, but it might we'll be
revived now. Few comedies equaed it from
the standpoint of dramatic excellence, it has his
toric background and is Of such social value as to
be serviceable in any epoch. Mark Twain's book
still is read and enjoyed and it does not require
prophetic gift to foretell public interest renewed in
the play made by the author and Frank Mayo from
that book Dave Wilson and the Wise Men of Daw
son Landing would be heartily greeted by folks who
go to the theater for pleasure.

STUDYING NEBRASKA IN THE SCHOOLS.

The ignorance Of Nebraskans upon the subject
OF Nebraska is really appalling While it is true
that the history OF Nebraska is being taught in a
desultory way 1t is equally true that not enough
emphasis is placed upon that study, is the text
book provided sufficient.
! Every school child in Nebraska should be taught
to the fullest possible extent the glorious history
Of this commonwealth and the wonderful possibli-
ties ii possesses Such instruction would build for
better citizenship because It would develop a pa
triotism that would knit them to the soil. Born
Of the titanic struggle over slavery, Nebraska
in the fullest sense Of the term Soldier state"
Fifty years ago its population less than
hundred thousand, and seyentenths OF its nhab-
itants were within fifty miles Of the Missouri river.
Men and who have not yet reached three
score and ten remember when their school
biographies described three fourths Of Nebraska rs
belonging to "The Great American Desert" and
marked II as uninhabitabe. And yet, within the
short span of half century people whose en-
terprise has been beyond compare have wrested
this commonwealth from the desert and made II
possible for Nebraska TO set records Of development
unegualed in history.
It produces more agricultural wealth per capita
than any other state. Its. per capita Of farm wealth
exceeds that Of any other state 1t stands at the
very head Of education. In short Of all things
good, Nebraska has the most; Of things bad, Ne |
braska has the least.
Surely state with such record, and with a
future so inspiring should be carefully studied
by its people. Would 1t not be a good idea
to pay just little less attention to ancient history
less attention to study Of ancient Tyre and Sidon,
Babylon and Greece and Rome, and give consider
ably attention to studying the history and be-
coming more familiar with the glories of our own
magnificent commonwealth?

FRANKLIN X. LANES LETTERS.

Franklin Knight Lane was the really con-
structive element In either of President Wilson's
cabinets His services prior to entering the cabinet
had been Of high order. and his work as secretary
Of the interior gained for him still more Of general
appreciation. Twice appointed by republican pres-
dents TO q place on the Interstate Commerce com.
mission. he yet remained a s,auneh democrat, and
steaifastly supported President Wilson in his po-
litieal leadership.
His letters. just published by his wife, are the
most valuable Of any Of the contributions to his
tory frem members Of the Wilson cabinets. Chiefly
this is true because the publication Is pos,humous.

SHALL THE CLOCK BE s1LENcED ,

Is the tickess clock exhibited by German en-
gineer at Berlin, boon to humanity" as described
by the correspondent who forwards the news to
America? Shall the boys and girls Of 1850 wonder
what is meant by phrases which tell Of lfes seconds
being licked of, or any Of the countless illusions
to the ticking Of the clock in literature, poetry
prose- where the silence is broken only by the sound
mentioned! In what words will the sob reporter"
Of the period tell Of the passing Of the last hours
Of the condemned crminal,1 if he is not permitted
to tick them off? Will baby be comforted when
grandpa dstracts his attention by holding sound
less watch to his ear?
What about the uneasy sleeper who lulls him
self to slumber by trying to fit words to the
monotonous "tick tock," that records the passage
of the weary hours, or the impatient schoolboy,
who notes the slow drag of the last five minutes by
the steady note? Man records only the flight
Of time. for he has command of even one tick
Of the clock in advance, but the pendulum records
for him his progress to the day when time shall end
80 far as he is concerned. The tick is monotonous
merciless, inevitable. in this Yet it is also
an inspiration for it urges US on by reminding us
that
Art Is long, and time Is fleeing.
And hearts. though stout and brave.
Still like mufied drums beating
Funeral marches to the grave"
From the measured candle, the clepsydra, and
all the primitive list Of time-recording machines
and devices, man has chung with fondness to the
clock that ticks. 1t was the German who gave us
the cuckoo clock; is he going to destroy one
Of our institutions by eliminating the cheeriest sound
that breaks the stiffness Of quiet night at home?
Think how you will miss the clocks tick when you
awaken in the backness Of the "wee, sma' hours
ayont the twa" and thank your stars for the Yam
kee clockmaker whose pendulum swings with a
noise like the crack of doom.

LAWYER. PREACHER, PHILOSOPHER.

Lyman Abbotts active life spanned a period OF
world activity that in all ways, intellectual or ma
teral, cultural industrial, outshone any similar
number Of years In the history Of the world He
had been . participant in or spectator to the
astounding discoveries and marvellous inventions
that have set the Twentieth century properly at the

wonders.

He was first student, then lawyer then a min

each bearing him little further toward the end.
His work was not that Of doer, did he as

THE BASIC PRINCIPLE.

A few evenings ago we listened to a speaker
who ably addressed us present world conditions.
He stated, and we think his statement is accepted
by all thinking people, that the only remedy for the
ills of society is Love taught nineteen hundred
years ago by the Man of Galee.
Since we know that Love is the only remedy,
why do we withhold it from the suffering patient;
health may come flooding back to the weakened
body and feebly beating heart? Why do we hest
tate?
Because with this remedy, as is often the case
with remedies in the medical world, there is prn-
ciple therein that we shrink from swallowing be-

principle Is Self-Denia; for, after ALL the basic
