It Is exactly what we wanted, and we appreeiate It greatly EMENT CHASE. Democratic Jewels of Consistency. OMAHA, Feb, 18.—To the Editor of The Bee: 1 would like to ask why the World- Herald anid Governor Shallenberger take 5o | deeply to heart the change of the head of the Peru normal school, wnen only twelve months ago they were so anxlous to.change the heads of every educational institution in the state of which the governor has by law the power to change. Is-it not just as important that the heads of the School for the Deaf, the School for the Blind, the industr schools and the School for the Friendless be not disturbed as those of the normal schoo!s? Governor Shallenberger wou'd make it appear that he would have the normal board non-partisan. Why does he not make ron-partisan the board of trustees of the deat and blind schools, the members of which he has the sole appointive power? Governor Mickey, as well as Governor Sheldon, appointed one member of the thr from the democratic party Governor Shallenberger has takeén speclal pains to make the board solldly democratic. Tt may bo that the governor fs sincere in his utterances on this point, but it does not look that way. He would make it appear that he be- moans the fact that politics entered Into the management of our educational Institu- tions, but as soon as he could see his way to do 80 he removed the head of the deat school, notwithstanding the fact that every member of the board of trustees urged him not to make a change. If appearances count for anything in this instance it was ‘as flagrant a case of “‘peanut” politics as can be polnted to in the history of the state, The Home for the Friendless at Lincoln had been under the control of the Board of Public Lands and Bufldings, but Mr. Shallenberger's legislature passedsa speclal law making it a state school so that it could not be contrclled by the Board of Public Lands and Bufldings, but would be subject to the dictation of the governor. Here Is a plece of consistency In concrete form. The governor deplores politics enter- Ing into the management of educational institutions, but makes this institution a watched while his stand. When she first appeared in the * witness chalr, Philips manifested many signs of nervousness or agitation, and was seemingly calmed with difficulty by his brother, who sat immedi- ately behind him. On either side of the brother deputy sheriffs watched the de- fendant and Sheriff Bralley sat a little In front of Philips and to the right. Mrs. Philips' testimony is agreed to have been the strongest card the defense has |80 far played. Just before her testimony | @ witness for the defense had an unhappy quarter of an hour. This was Louls Wheaton, a nelghbor of Philips for forty days in the bound-over cells in the county Jain First of all, County Attorney English, on cross-examination of Wheaton, made him admit that the unusual aspects he told of Philips’ behavior in jall were not remark- ably unusual, and then Wheaton's own rec- | ora was shown up. He forced to ad- mit that he is now under parole for wife abandonment and that he had deserted his wife and children for another woman. Other witnesses of Saturday were Philips' father and sister, Mrs. Z. Avery. 1dis mother, and another sister, Mrs. Emma Rollins, testified Friday afternoon, all de- claring that in their opinion the defendant Ma.upin Will Go Before Grand Jury Labor Commissioner Will Present Charges 'Against Employers of Children and Women. under his contiol, and Will M. Maupin, state labor commis- sioner, will go before the !rnnd\Jury Mon- day with complaints against two-score or more of Omahans charging them with vio- latlon of the state laws governing the em- pioyment of women and children and the statute requiring fire esoapes. On his lst of defendants are one tele- graph company, two messenger service companies and the proprietors of several Greek bootblack stands, whom he charges | with employing minors; a number of hotel and restaurant proprietors, charged with |overworking women, and the owners of | elghteen butldings who have not complied with the laws governing fire escapes. CAUSE OF SMELTER TRAGEDY STILL REMAINS A MYSTERY Determined After Investigation of the Plant, Says Superin- tendent Page. 8t some republican mecting. ' J. T. MOREY. Whys and Wherefores. Bee: not, there Is apt to be much disappoint- ment if the world {sn't turned over side- ways, every one protected but ourselves, and, in fact, everything done that we ex- pect. From some of ‘the more radical com- ments one would be led to think this evil monster had come upon us in & night— standing over us with his horned club while we yet rubbed our eyes. Not so, Our worthy statisticians have been long since pointing their pencils at him In the dim distance. What of the drift of the population to the cities? We cannot expect the provis- fons to be furnished by only one producer at the same price it used to be with two, at the plow. Yet we do. What of the wages now going, against the one half, of before, and sometimes no work at that? We cannot expect wages to be double per hour and not have to pay twice as much for flour. Yet we do. There is force enough to either condition alone to warrant the state of affairs, and with the combination of the two it I rather to be wondered at that we are not paying more for commodities than we are.

Not The cause of aveident at the works of the American Smelting and Refining com- pany's plamt, which resuited in the death of two men and the probable fatal injury of a third by scalding with melted copper, will probably remain a mystery.
