People do not differ much In com munities wherever they may bo and the following from the Omaha Bee may be studied hero with profit as showing what Omaha has had to contend with In pushing itself ahead to its present size. The Bee says: "In every community there are al ways two contending elements one palling back and the other pushing ahead.- The city or town In which the Ptish-aheads are in the majority is always a thriving, progressive, wide-awake place, constantly at the head of the procession. The city or town in which the Pull-backs have control is usually afraid to take up any new enterpi lse, however, pro mising; it never starts until Its rival has gotten a good lead, and It Is al ways to be found among the strag glers on the highway to prosperity. "Omaha has been singubirly fortu nate In having been dominated from Its pioneer days by Push-aheads in stead of by Pull-backs. The founders of Omaha did not sit and wait for thing3 to como their way but they went out with a helping hand and accomplished wonders bordering on the miraculous. There were, of course Pull-backs tugging in the op posite direction all tho time, but the Push-aheads kept their shoulders to the wheel, foiclng Omaha further and fuither to the fore and drag ging tho Pull-backs along. "There aio people In Omaha, ns In every community, who would stop all public Improvements nnd let tho city stagnate at the slightest pretext. They are the same soit of obstruc tionists ns thoso who opposed and predicted failure for tho great Trans misKisslppi exposition of 1S9S, which was prosecuted to triumphant suc cess in spite of them in advance of recovery from the severest Indus trial depression in our history. Be cause of tho possibility, more or less remote, that we may have to buy the water works at what seems to bo an exorbitant figure some apprehensive folks would voto down paving bonds and park lmprooinent bonds and court house bonds to avoid paying Interest on what wo bonow. That would be a manifestation of what vc havo termed tho pull-back spirit. "When tho builders of Omaha put $250,000 into the old court house and jail more than twenty-five years ago with tho population and taxable resources pf the county less than one-fourth what they nro today, they were courageously Imbued with the push ahead spirit. They thought they were building for tho Omaha or the futuro but unintentionally failed to look fnr enough forward, with tho result that tho structure- has been long sinco out grown and al ready needs replacement by a new ami adequate building. "It Is for tho Push-nheads of today to bend their energies to tho unbuild ing of tho twenUirth century Omaha. Having made snch great strides In ihc past f6w years, tho pace must not 'bo allowed to slacken now when Omaha h'ns every prospect of soon 'pausing many of its commercial and JriuriBtrlnl rivals." pieces In tho Kansas town whero ho is a guest at tho present time. To a reporter he stated that ho had watch ed the newspapers carefully for twenty years on tho subject of beards and had yet to find a rival who equal ed him. The vanity of men "bearded like a pard" is no disparagement to them; men are equally vain of their stature, their pulchritude, real of fancied, their muscle and any other physical attribute, and whiskers seven feet long are something to look at with awe and envy. A man once wagered a dinner with a friend that he could stroke every long beard encountered on a walk down the length of Broad way. He won his bet, even to caress ing the stately whiskers of a Wall street millionaire accosted as he was entering his carriage and In a hurry. In fact, tho magnate was so flattered by the lngiatlatlng manner of this admirer of beards that, purring like a kitten, he permitted him to unroll a tape line and measure It from tip to tip. Kansas populists are popularly supposed to take great pride in their beards, but as a matter of fact Kan sas has to take a back seat to Iowa in the matter of whiskers. Topeka Capital. With the Toast and Tea HELP OREGON UNIVERSITY. It Is to be sincerely hoped that the voters of Oregon pass the University of Oregon appropriation bill at the coming election. The bill will be on the oITicial ballot for a referendum vote. OrCgbn cannot afford to have It said that she refused to build up her State university. She cannot af ford to drive her young men and women go to Washington and Idaho to secure a higher education. Let us pass tho appropriation and never again hold up an educational bill. Pendleton East Oregonlan. WE ARE DYING YOUNGER. In viow of all that has been said about the fall in the death rate it seems strange to realize that we are not living so long as our grand fathers and grandmothers did. More babies live to grow up nowadays than formerly, but people in later life die jounger. Once arrived at adult ago the average man or woman has few years of survival to expect. This seems on the face of It so surprising a statement that in order to be accepted It should be backed up by data authentic and Indisput able. Such data are furnished by the figures of the insurance companies (which all agree on tho point), but it is easier to refer to the govern ment census reports, which tell the tale In simple and convincing fash Ion. Even during tho last fifteen years the death rate among all per sons over fifty-five years of age of both sexes has risen very consider ably. Health Culture.

An Iowa man Is visiting relatives In a Kansas town who is said to havo tho longest beard on record, tho man being five feet seven tall, whllo tho beard Is seven feet flvo.

Consul Mansllcld's report from Lu cerne upon the fejstem of controlling the saloons In the lepublle of Switzer land is of special Interest at this time. Every canton is locally goeriied and legulntes the number of saloons or bars, granting licenses necoullng to the locality. In bouie towns and cities theie may be one saloon to every 200 inhabitant!) and In uiral districts only one to 1,000 people or even more. The Uceuso fee alios and In the canton of Lucerne ranges front $40 up to $1,200 per annum. All revenue from the tratllc Is devoted to school nnd road purposes. The rules governing the saloons In Switzerland nro very strict, nnd any Infringement lesiilts In a foifclture of tho license. As tho number of li censes Is restricted, the possession of one constitutes a valuable franchise, and the holder is bound by self inter est to obey the law. The consul states that, while drinking Is general amoug the men of Switzerland, drunkenness Is rare and confined almost entirely to touring foreigners. This menus that the Irresponsible clement abuses tho snloon privilege, and it Is this elo ment chiefly which has brought tho saloon under tho ban of public opinion in tills country.
