Earth's Firmest, Holiest Ties.

Omaha gave TO the world during the las,
week two rare examples OF devotion. the resul,
Of natural affection. where self vanished before
the though, OF dear one in danger. One OF
the finest traits OF humanity is tha, which impelS
the effort TO assis. or rescue when disaster or
mishap puts another in jeopardy. Few there are
who will not lend their help under ordinary con
di,ions. bu, the immediate threat OF death usually
hats the boldes,.
A father saw bis son in peril. and rushed to
his aid. He did no, hesitate, even though he
must have known wha, possibly awaited him.
He was stricken down by a murderer's bullet,
and passed on without knowing his sacrifice was
in vain. What he did know was ,hs, his boy
was in . perilous situation, and his love led him
directly to that boys side. In this he exemplhed
the truest duty of the father. and his sacrifice is
glorihed by the reflection that his end came be-
eauae he was by the side OF his boy endeavoring
to save him.
hIpother incident was that OF a little girl,
carri,d by hremen from hercey blazing home,
who struggled to return because her mother was
still in the house. Firemen also brought the
mother out. but their act was that of calculating
skill anil experience, whles the little girl was
mo,ed by that higher impulse which recks not
of Danger when some loved one needs aid.
Who can look on these examples, and cling
to the doctrine of total depravity? Something
above Aaere human understanding supports such
deeds. 1t shot the common instinct that per-
vades the animal kingdom, for the male brute
will desert his offspring, the cubs will abandon
their DAM Only in man is found this high re-
nunciation of self in response to the prompSings
of parental or hlial love. Such willingness to
sacrifice is solid support for the thought that
there 10 within US some trace Of the divine.

Abraham Lincoln on the Stage.

Certain great names are held in such venera-
ton by the people that their connection with
play Of any kind causes some catching of the
breath. One of these is Abraham Lincoln. Per-
haps no other name, save that of the gentle
Nazarene, is so revered by Americans, and it
was something of shock to great many
few years ago when it was announced that
young English writer had chosen the great pres
ident to be the central figure Of drama bearing
his name Not that Lincoln had not been intro
duced several times in American stage literature,
but merely incidental, and not as principal
character save as the thought suggested by his
name might influence the action or sustain the
historical value of the drama "The Birth Of a
Natou" is one example Of this, and "The Cop
perhexd" Is another.
This very tyeling Of reverence has served in
a sense to hold Lincoln a~sy from those whom
he so we'll loved. He moved among his times
as very human man, with the imperfections
and frailties Of humanity unconcealed. His mar
tyrdom suddenly elevated him among the demi-
gods, and set him above and apart from the peo-
pie he served. Therefore it is that Abraham Lin
coin is better known, in some regards, to for
eigners who have studied him as a great man
against the background Of his day andin the light
Of his work. From one Of these studies Drink
water is said to have derived the inspiration that
led to his play.
Omaha soon will have the ,belated opportunity
Of seeing this drama, enacted by company that
has been playing for three years in America.
Then we shall be better able to judge Of whether
the poet has clothed the. great man, as is re-
ported, in the habments Of reality as man
Of great strength and tenderness, walking among
men, or if his poetic fancy has idealized him in
different way. Common report is in favor of
the play.

Daylight Saving Lacks Savor.

Another experiment has turned out about as
might have been anticipated. Down in Washing
ton the folks thought they would try saving day
light, but without monkeying with the clock. In
stead Of calling it 7 o'clock in the morning when
really it was only s, they decided to try starting
an hour earlier, setting business schedules an
hour ahead and letting the clock jog along
synchronized as nearly as possible with the sun.
This lasted about two weeks, and then folks
began to tire Of it. Popular protests were raised
and finally the big business houses went back
to the old schedule. Slowly others swung into
line, and when the merry month Of May merges
into that Of sunshine and roses brides and sweet
girl graduates, daylight saving in the capital of
the nation will be one with the Kelley motor, a
memory to cause smile.

Censorship From Within.

From the Minneapolis Journal.
The Motion Picture Theater Owners Of Amer.
lea are to be commended for the decision to re-
fuse to show any films in which Peggy Joyce IL
featured That is the kind of censorship that
counts. 1t shows that the theater operators are
beginning to hold their business in high regard

Such policy will assure the theater owners
OF the approval and cooperation of that ee-
ment in American life which lookes upon the
pandering to sensationaism and immortality as
injurious to the general welfare.
Scandal has shaken the movie industry to its
foundations Its leaders have seen the light and
in every quarter of the film world there is a
sincere endeavor to put the industry on a sound
moral basis. The public should encourage this
policy and lend it's support to the producers of

Brands for Automobtles.

From the Buffalo Express .a,
Branding of automobiles, sometimes after the
manner In which ranch animals are branded in
the west is suggested by District Attorney Ban
ton of New York a means Of checking the
thefts. He wants some sort of permanent mark
placed on every cara mark that can not easily
be changed or extngushed Incidentally he
would compel the registration of all with
federal bureau and compel registration Of all
mortgages on these cars. For this service q
small fee would be charged.
1t Is a good idea if Mr.. Banton can suggest
means Of permanent marking that will be i'm.
possible to change or extnguish and which, at
the same time, will not spoil the appearance Of
car. The marking would have to be con.
spicuous to be of any value and to be irremov-
able or interchangeable must be impressed deeply
in the body of the car. The who pays
several thousands for custom built body or
even the f1ivver owner who likes to keep his car
clean will not want to the body of the car
in the hope that a thief will pass it by.
Moreover, most automobilists will object to
the idea that the marking and the registration
OF the odd mortgage or two VIII necessitate the
federal governments charging small fee. The
small fee will open souce Of taxation for
congress. If anyone is already taxed too highly
1t is the motorist. He pays greater number Of
taxes than any other person in the community.
