This would entitle South Omaha | to $350 of the state funds. It was learned | | with regret by the board that it had been impossible to get ten students of the school to choose this work this year. The city will therefore lose its appropriation. The school census enumerators have made a report additional on omitted names | their districts and were last night granted | the full balance of thelr pay The date of the Christmas holidays was | fixed. They will begin Friday, December %, at noon. The schools will be recon- vened January 3, 1910. An examination for teachers will be held ! on December 27, 28 and 2.

Andreas Falton Electrocuted. Andreas Falton, a laborer in the hide | cellar of the Cudahy Packing company. was Instantly killed by an electric shocl yesterday morning. He was trying to pair the light and in so doing grasped | the socket as he was standing on a bale| | of hides. Instantly there was a flash | and he fell to the floor dead. Just before | this s partner had grasped the socket | and had been knocked down, but not | seriously hurt. The electric lights are considered dangerous in the hide cellars on account of the dampness and the lia- bility of grounding the current. Andreas TFaiton was a Slav'and haa been in the city since last April. He had | a wife and four children in Slavonia. He| was ony 3 years old.

Postal Revenue Defieit. The second subject worthy of mention in the Postoffice department is the real | ecessity and entire practicability of estab- lishing postal savings banks. The suceess- ful party at the last election declared in and al-| though the proposition finds opponents in ny\parts of the country, I am econ- vinced that the people desire such banks, | and am sure that when the banks are fur- | nished they will be productive of the ut- most good. The postal savings banks are of interest upon deposits to which they would be limited would be so small as to prevent their drawing deposits away from other banks. I belleve them to be mecessary in order to offer a proper inducement to thrift and saving to a great many people of small tes, and to whom such a system would offer an opportunity fer the accumulation of capital. They will furnish a satisfac- tory substitute, based on sound princlpie and actual successful trial in nearly all the countries of the world, for the system of government guaranty of deposits now | being adopted in several western states, | which, with deference to those who ad- vocate it seems to me to have in it the eeds of demoralization to conservative banking and certain financial disaster. Delay Not Necessary. The question of how the money deposited | n posial savings banks shall be Invested s not free from difficuty, but I belleve at a sausfactory provision for this pur- pose was inserted as an amendment to the bill considered by the senate at its last session. It has been proposed to de- iay the consideration of legisiation estab- Uishing a posial savings bank until after the report of the monetary commission. 'rm-] report is likely to be deiayed, and prop- of the necessity for care ful deliberauon and close iavestigation I do not see why tne one should be tiew up with the other. It is understood tha the monetary commission have looked int. the system of banking which now pre vall abroad, and have found that by a |control there exercised in respect to re- serves and the rates of exchange by some central-authority panics are avoided. It is Dot apparent that a system of pestal ir any way Inter- fere with a change to such a system here Certainly in most of the ocountries in Europe where control s thus exercised by a central authority, postal savings banks exist and are not thought to be incon- sistent with a proper financial and banking system. hip Substdy BilL Following the course of my dlstingu- hed predecessor, I earnestly recommend | to congress the consideration and passage of a ship subdbsidy bill, looking to the establishment of lines between our At- |lantic seaboard and "the eastern coast of | Southr America, as well as lines from the | west coast of the United States to South America, China, Japan and the Philippines.

In several departments there is presented | the necessity for legisiation looking to the further conservation of our national re- sources, and the subject is ome of such importance as to require a more detailed and extended discussion than can be en- tered upon In this communication. For that remson I sball take an early eppor- tunity send & specia. message to con- §Tess on the subject of the improvement of our waterways, upon the reclamation d irrigation of arid, semi-arid and swamp lands;“upon the preservation of our forests and the reforesting of suitable areas; upon the reclassification of the publie domain with & view of separating from agricul- tural settiement mineral, coal and phos- phate lands and sites belonging to the goverument bordering on streams suitable | for the utilisation of water power.

The year 1913 will mark the fiftieth an- niversary of the issuance of the emancipa- n proclamation granting freedom to the negroes. It seems fitting that this event should be properly celebrated. Already & or subjects akin be the | movement .has been started by prominent negroes, encouraged by prominent white | people and the press. The south sspeciaily is manifesting its Interest in this move- | ment. It is suggested that a proper ferm Qf‘ exposition to show the progress the negroes have made, not oniy during their perfod of freedom, but also from the tima of their coming te | this eountry. " I heartily indorse this proposal, and re- | quest that the executive be authorized to | appoint a preliminary commission of not | more than seven persons to consider care- | fully whether or not It is wise to hold such an exposition, and if so, to outiine plan for the enterprise. I further recom mend that such preiiminary commission serve without salary, except as to their actual expenses, and that an appropriation be made to meet such expenses. Coneluston. I have thus, in a message compressed | as much as the subjects will permit, re- terred to many of the legisiative needs of | the country, with the exceptions already | noted. Speaking generaily, the country i= in a high state of prosperity. There is | every reason to believe that we are on the eve of a substantial business expansion, | and we have garnered a harvest unexampled | In the market value of our agricultural products. The high prices which such prod- ucts bring mean great prosperity for the farming community, but on the other hand they mean a very considerably increased burden upon those classes in the community whose yearly compensatian does not expand with the improvement in business and the general prosperity. Various reasons are given for the high prices. The proportionate increase in the output of goid, which today is the chief r!edlum of exchange and Is in some respectds a measure of vaiue, fur- nishes a substantial explanation of at least part of the increase in prices. The Increase in population and the more expensive mode | of living of the people, which have not been accompanied by a propertionate in- erease in acreage production, may furnish & further reason. It is well to note tha the increase In the cest of living is not but prevails the world over, and that those whe would charge increases in prices to the existing protective tariff must meet the fact that | the rise in prices has taken placs almost | farm in respect to which there has been either no Increase in the tariff or in many | WILLIAM H.
