Auditing the Aocoounts. Instead of giving us an independent auditor with jurisdiction over the accounts and ex- penditures of city, county, school distriet and water district, the legislature has put on the statute books two separate laws, good perhaps 80 far as they go, but which can serve only as halfway measures.

Nor as a matter of fact is there any good reason why we should have to rely on an officer located at Lincoln, and elected by the whole state, to supervise the finances of our water distriot. There would be Just as much sense and loglo—or lack of them —to give the state auditor similar powers over the oity or school board or any local govern- mental subdivision. The other law referred to makes the county clerk ex offielo county comptroller, defines his duties, and centers powers heretofore divided between county clerk and county board, This gives us an office of county comptroller like that we once had and corresponding to the former office of city comptroller, but still leaves the school board finances altogether outside, and produces duplication entirely unnecessary, ‘Where was gilent John Lind when Victoriano blew in?

APOLBON'S aphoriam, “Who holds Constantino N ple rules the world,” expresses well the im- portance which has always sttached to the strategio valus of that city, Eince Constantinople has been held for centuries at a time by two of the weakest and most inefficlent nations of the world, the | later Bymantine and later Ottoman empires, it is ovi- dent that its ownership doss not necessarily oarry with it the lordship of the world, But the fact that these two Gecadent powers were able by the mere possession Of this point to exert an influence over world polities to which their inherent strength in no | wise entitied them, proves its importance and the question of its futuse ownership is one of the most momentous and difficult of the problems the great war hia te selve. The allles are rivals when it comes to the question of Oenstantinople. During the nine- teenth century It was {he fixed belief of the British that the acquisition of the city by & Burcpean power would put the empire in peril, Bvery time that Rus- #la reached out to gresp the prise Great Britain in- terposed by arms or diplomaay to protect the Turks. in the Crimean war, Mritish, Frenoh, Turkish and the Russian, Frenoh and the effort ts take Constantinople What wil beseuie of it Garbage disposal s soon to bob up again in That is another question that will be mettied until it is settled right. ] ' S——— | Considering the irritating conditions under which forelgn editors labor, thelr frequent exhibitions of bad temper are excusable.

The Bidney trail was one of the important trade -routes in a by-gone day, and as such was notable in many ways. It shares with the Fort Plerre and Cheyenne trails the legends of early days in the Black Hills. Much that is romantie\elus- ters around these routes, and much that has no romance In It. - Hardships, adventure, sudden death, the Indian raid, the road agent’s swoop, all these entared Into the life along the Sidney trail, and the prosaic procession of heavy-laden wagons, dragging the food and clothing for the §old hunters, closed up the picture., The stage driver, the “mule skinner,” the “bull whacker," the ‘“‘cow puncher,” and all the characters that made up the pleturesque, as well as the sord'd side of life in the development days, moved along the Sidney trail, It should be improved d preserved as a worthy monument to the deavor of men still living, who made a tidy lttle empire out of a bit of the forgotten mountatns of the great west TETTE—— War and Ooean Shipping. That onr democratic congress pulled down the tariff fence that had protected American in- dustries against forelgn competition only to bave the war put it back, and bulld it stinl higher, is & commonplace declaration, although not every one has been able to see just how this result is brought about. Perbaps, a clearer ex- planation may be found in a report upon the shortage of ocean shipping facilities, which, be- cause of the war's Interference, has now raised the cost of ocean frelghts to the highest figures the present generation has known. Exports bound for Hurope pay now from four to seven times the usual freight charges, and 20 to 50 per cent more for insurange, the transportation cost of imports being correspond- ingly in sod. The best estimates figure only three-fourths | of the world's available oceap tonnage as still in the carrying business. but in efficiency this three-quarters of the shipping is far below nor- mal, bringlog effective tonnage below half that of ordinary times. As & consequence shippers are paving approximately $24 a ton for general merchandise freights on whiech they formerly paid $3.60 to §6 a ton. The war risk insurance must be added, from two (o five times the amount previously asked, and an additional indirect cost occurs In flnancing forelgn trade through the derangement of exehanges. In a word, all that was taken off the tariff duties, and much more, is now absorbed by Increased shipping rates, in- surance and exchan, e ——— Every law enscted to govern our Water board has expressly stated the purpose to di- vorce the management and operstion completely from polities, but this part of these laws has been a dead letter.

The Blave were a simple, un- organived people, barbarous but not waritke, and the frequency of their appearance as captives in'the mar- ket made their name the generic term for slaves, The Rus were of that energetio race of Soandinavian origin which invaded France under Rollo, Emsland under Willlam, Italy under Robert and Rusels under Rurlk, in every country becoming tne dominant ele- ment In the population, which can still be"discerned in spite of a thousand years of intermarrfage. Russian bistory dates from the time when these Vikings of Kiev, under the leadership of Askold and Dir, set out te conquer Constantinople, for, says the Byrantine historian Photius, the men of Rus hitherto “‘unknown and of no account became by that aot “'most renowned and glorious” and “boundlessly bold and proud.’ Yot thelr first attempt wes & fallure, for as their 30 galleys swept down the Bosporus the Hysantine emperor and patriarch knelt in prayer bo- fore the sacred shrine. At daybreak the patriareh took t(he wonder working robe of the Virgin and marching with a procession of priests wnd choir boys to the shore, dipped it inte the Bosporus, Let Nestor, the chronloler, toll the story in his own wi & “Instantly the waves, which before were smooth and still, arose in anger and began to roar, and the ships of the fdolatrous Russians were dispersed, dashed upon the shore and broken in pleces so that few escaped the disaster or chanced to reach thefr own land again’’ But the next Russian expedition against Cop- stantinople, that of #6, avelded the perjls of the Bos- porus, both natural and miraculous; for we are told that Oleg put wheels on his boats end salled overland to the city wall. This kind of vehicle, the land yaght, used to be seen upon our western plains, but has not been used In the present war. The automo- Blle has taken its place. But another engine of war, which the Byzantines, for some reason unexplained, used in preference to the Virgin's robe for warding oft the later attacks of the Russi has' been re- vived by the Germans within the last few montha This was, in the words of the chronicler, “‘a kind of winged fire which leaped upon the Russians and made them take.to the water.to save themwelves, but many were drowned by the welght of their helmets." The famous “Greek fire," which burned the wooden boats, was doubtiess the stream of blasing petroleum with which the Germans have of late been apraying the Trench trenches Several times did the Northmen force the Imperial City to'pay tribute, Lut they never occupled it.

OMAHA, April 15~To the FEditor of The Bes: I think my appraisal of com- mercial high schools in the press was worth whils for it having brought éut (Commissioner Ernst's and Superintend- ent Graff's appraisals In the former's ad- mirable jetter to the press of April 12. It gves a long way, or all the way, to establishing public faith in present con- trol of our school policy, not only as to commercial high schools, but as to all our schools. 1 adbere to what I said though, be- cause 1 belleve the school commissioners’ program called for a new commercial high school and warranted the assump- tion that they favored putting it on a parity with our sure-enough high #chool; and T attacked, not provision in some way for our teaching stenography, typing and telegraphy (I exclude book- keeping as pure wasts of teaching power, & good general education taking hold of that promptly), but education’'s “bulg- ing” in a protuberance that piainiy can't in iteelf furnish a tithe of & ohild's needed mental drill, that can do so only by wasteful overlapping. No doubt it's well, all considersd, for our schools to equip boys and giris, that wish them, too, for telegraphy and stenog- raphy, but to imprison them in such drudgery in large numbers would be a mistaken kindneas amounting in time to & melal disaster. The statement of D. B. Buek that scme parents can't afford a drill of their childrens’ wits without an admixture of instruction in bread-winning is, bluntly, exactly mot true; for children, suffering the misfortune of being denied the aver- age time for this drill, by so much of it as they lose by that much aro in greater meed of it. There's nothing better estab- lirhed than need of state protection of the child against short.sighted, fll-con- sidersd parental wishes. Moreover, this straight-jacketing of children would tend to undermine our democracy by making & olass, as set as any in Burope, bound down to the humdrum of machine work. There's a machine-stenographer that grinds out dictations flawlessiy, but hu. man-stenographers, I'm told, have been known to digress from meaning and punctuation. American school hours, 1 understand, are not more than two-thirde of Germany, and the German’s efficlency seems not to have suffered severely from this hard dril' Why not theh teach stenography and typing to those that want them as an addition to the regular drill? Mr. Buck (I would pass him, but can- not) compels my telling my true name. I 1 it because I'm unknown outside of two little soclal and trading civcles, and I feared people would say, “Who's he? Never heard of him before,” that, though my letter had punch, it would lack reach, But Mr. Buck has sowed the susplcion that I am a curbstone professor, or his agent, in disgulse. So I subscribe my name. W. E. MARTIN, 712 Omaha National Bank Bujlding. True Demorracy—The Golden Raule. TILDEN, Neb., April 15.—To the Bditor of Tho Bee: When the young United States Senator Allen from Ohlo was challenged by an old senatorial warhorse to define democracy, Allen responded with the following inspired words: - a --munl not to be pted promised. mfinmu l" eov-n n odnllE m: n rebikes t! but democratic leé‘l‘ll attribute 'flll.l i hul !ll. exposition of the Golden Rule, the practical reflection of Good Samaritanship, and the vivid truth of citisenship, ho: national and world- wide, that “I am my brother's keeper." This abridged eplc should become the in- dividual statute of every citizen, for If { this radiating stream would be permitted to flow outward from every individual, the horrors of misrule from the family through municipality, state, nation and world, would be abated. “Majority rule” fs but a makeshift, and % only another form of “Might makes right,” for the might and the majority may be on the side of justice, or it may be in favor of nullitylng this tenet. Btymologloally, democracy is “The voice of the people,” and the Latin proverb- smith sald: “Vox popull, vox Del" (The voice of the people s the voice of God), God's volce could not be wrong, therefore the voice of the people Is only the voice of God whon right ‘Thia definition really applied would solve the complex question of today, civically, politically, as weil as matters of world-wide import. C P L Sketeh of Beri-Berl. OMAHA, April 15.~To the Editor of The Bee: Beri-berl seemas lite sourvy to be a disease, not zo much dependent on what we eat, as on what we don't eat. Like sourvy it has been known for ages, but more as & disease of the Orfent—China, Japan, ete. 1t may not be Infectious, as the Associated Preas says of the ninety odd cases ou the Kron Pring Wilhelm, but recent medical writ- ers are not agreed as to that, fer there are two distinct views: One that it ie Infectious and the other that it fe a disorder of metabolismor nutrition. In the days of the old sailing vessels, when ships were out for months in coming to Americs, then it was that the disease sourvy was known as the “calam- ity of sallors.” We are told that it was the lemon (which was about the omly thing in the way of fruit or vegetable that could be convenienily taken in these | long voyages), that drove sourvy from the seas. Beri-beri ia thought (o be due to eal ing polished rice. almost exclusively or rice where the “skin’ or pericarp is re moved, This is & good deal like trying te live on the pure starch of bolted flour with- out the gluten or nitrogen of the whale wheat flour. While such an imperfect dietary may be & great factor by the lack of vege- tables or fruit, there are plenty of Aslatics that do the same and never have the diseass. A man that lives on salted meat all winter ke the farmer, in the spring says he needs u bigod medicine. He means his blood craves things that are green—fresh vegetables. Beri-beri la thousht by many suthors to be due to infection and to be an in. fectious disease. but (0 this case not due to the body Also lke typhus and scurvy it i3 due to overcrowding and poor vestilatiom The fact is there ‘s mighty little yet known definitely about the causes of berl- beri and even scurvy is in the balance as to whether it be infectious. No germ found for either as yot If this war continues thera will need be a crusade and house cleaning against buge that carry germs to this country and the sorubbing brush of the Hollander | will be necessary here on house and pave- ment. Tt seems & shame that the United States should not only have to be the asylum for the nations, but the bath tub of all creation as well The question is, can we soap and scrub and disinfect the mall and not hecome Infected ourselves and start aflame epl- demic here? Here are some of the infections diseases that war can bring to us. Typhus, ty- phold, beri-beri, cholera, smallpox, yel- low fever, bubonic plague, the fiea and | some from the orfent that the reader never heard of. GBORGE P. WILKINSON, M. D Sing Them Down. OMAHA, April 16~To the Editor of The Bee: At our free gospel meetings each one should endeavor by prayer and song service to cheer every soul; and our lsader (Lord Dless her, she's handeome and olever), should keep the program under perfect control. When Sister O'Dobbine, pale, nervous and worrled, stands up to repeat a long message of woe—and to tell where her grandmother's mother Yes buried—and how the dear soul bore her griet here below; and while this dear sister is mentally gasing with sad, soulful eyes on that faraway mound, let the saints raise a hymn of devotion and prajeing, and to ward off the blues, sing the good lady down. There's Tom Swikelhammer, a chronio backsiider; he's always on hand with a gnout full of gin; he left wife and chil- dren without a provider, and his heart 18 as tough as an elephant’s skin; when he bogins bawling and pounding the al. tar, and praying for sinners in language | profound, O, start the grand chorus, let no pligrim falter, keep time with the or- gan, and all stng him down. When we get a swell pastor, who leo- tures on arfence; explains evolution and preaches in Greek: and denies that young David fought bears and slew glants, or that God made this beautiful world in @ week: I say, that whenever we face such a crisis, and the doctor steps forth in his skullcap and gown, our lungs will expand and we'll ralse our rich voices, and sing the old doubting phflosopher down. And every church has them—these long- windod creatures — these waterlogged ships on the ocean of joy, a hindrance to sinners, and pastors, and teachers, they get on our nerves and our patience de- stroy; and when other methods have proved unavailing—(feet shuffling, loud coughing, side glances and frowns)—there is still one rebuke that is swift and un- falling, sing them down. 'tis the surest relief, sing them down. E. 0. M'INTOSH.
