What are they up to In Georgla with this new agitation and uprising over alleged plots to free T€0 M. Frank? To this question propounded by The Bee four days ago, we now have the answer in the attempted assassination of Frank, Commenting on the reports from Georgia at that time, The Bee gave expression to its fore- bodings as follows: To the observer at this distance all this maneuver- ing to keep popular prejudice excited In Georgia looks ke a continuation of the outrageous performances which have already so discredited that state, and, more than that, like a deliberate attempt to lay the foundation for, and to Instigate, another murder “a Ia Madero” under pretense of shooting Frank down while trying to escape. Before the people of the rest of the country, the state of Georgia is today as much on trial as Frank ever was, except that the Georgia people have the verdict in their own hande. Whether the assailant of Frank was directly incited to his act or was goaded to it by the continued outpouring of mob maledictions, no one can doubt that he was persuaded the people of Georgla were demanding that Frank suffer death and that by making himself the insetru- ment for killing Frank, he would earn his own freedom as a reward. The whole outrageous proceeding is a foul THE B blot upon the state of Georgia which it will never wipe out, What of Those New fil Buildings ! After an energetic publicity campaign im- pressing upon the people the dire necessity of additional school facilities to relleve existing pressure, a bond fesue of $1,000,000 was submitted and voted, almost without opposition, at the election held the first Tuesday of last May, Since then the third month is now pass- ing with no move being made, so far as the pub- lic is aware, in the direction of getting down to business with the construction of new #&chool buildings. First the delay was ascribed to the desire to wait until it was definitely known whether consolidation would earry, but the con- solidation election {s nearly two months in the distance, so can have nothing to do with present conditions. The main point {s that {f the school build- ings were so urgent in April, how can they be less urgent in July? How can it be possible to reileve school congestion the coming year if the bullding season is permitted to go by without even a start, when to erect a suitable structure in the proper manner will at best consume from six to ten months? It is hardly likely, we know, that the entire million dollars can be advan- tageously used on new school buildings all at once, but the voting of the money was in re- sponse to a specific demand, and the intention was that this demand should be met, not next year, or in the dim and distant future, but now, —— The Governor and Good Roads. Every citizen of Nebraska can joln with Gov- ernor Morehead In his advocacy of the good roads campaign. Much progress has been made in Nebraska already, for here the roads problem is not involved with many of the complications and difficulties presented else- where. This state is well favored by nature for the easy construction and maintenance of fine high roads, which fact perhaps accounts for the people lagging somewhat behind in their efforts to improve on nature, even so slightly, No mattér from what source came the stimulus, the apathy in this direction has been overcome, and Nebraskans are now as much interested as any in the condition of their highways. As a result the state is gaining much in the estimation of those who travel between towns by modern mothods, but the existing good roads can easily be made better, and effort expended on them will be well repald, S—— The Newest Submarine, A fow days ago a submersible boat of the American navy came into New York harbor from o South Atlantic station, after a non-stop run of 1,850 miles. 8o far as is known, this exceeds any performance of this type of boat elsewhere recorded. Now, the latest of these craft has shown by careful test that it has a cruising radius of 6,000 miles, or that it can cross the Atlantic to Europe and return without taking on fuel or other supplies. Ordinarily, this in- formation would not be of more than momentary concern to the public, but in these days when alarmists are dinnming into the public ear that our navy is deteriorating, that we are as de- fenseless as an oyster without & shell and the inventive genius of the country is to be enlisted in hope of saving us, it is well to realize that our naval designers and constructors are capa- ble of producing craft as efficlent as any ever known, and in many particulars superior.

HEN Mrs. Carson came back from visiting her son in Chicago, everybody was curfous to hear all about him. Mrs. Carson smilingly ad- mitted that her son was really amasingly prosperou that it was all true about her daughter-in-law’ Jimoustne and French maid and beautiful clothes, and she seemed delighted with the prosperity in which they lived, “They are spending far, far too much money,” she #ald, “John does make a large Income, but mothing like enough to warrant their expense. I was simply scared at the awful waste I saw all along the line. Mary's clothes—so many of them and so costly! The rugs, the silver, the unnecessary servants, the food— oh, the food! The whole thing got so on my nerves that I could not wait to come home; it just spoiled my visit.” “But don't you think you just imagined it was all too costly? May not your son have more money than you realise and wish to live In that style?" “Ah, that's the trouble!” Mrs. Carson retortel, One night Mary was out, and John and I had a long, long talk in his study; we sat close up to the fire and visited as we have not had a chanos to since he was & boy and we two lived here mlone. ‘Mother,’ he sald, ‘It's good to see you! I love your plain biack dress; and your hair is so nice and smooth—it looks ®ood to me! And I love to have you refuse to eat sweetbreads and fancy salads, and to want to make your own bed and dust the parlors. I hate all this fuss myself., I'd like to go back and be stmple and sensible again, just as you and T used to be in the old house at home.' And he sighed so that I just ached all over, . “‘“Tell me all about it, John,' I sald: ‘tell me everything. I've walted for years to have a real visit with you'—you know this s the first time I've been west since he was married—‘and I want you to be Just as open and frank with me as when you wero a boy.! And he 4id tell me.” She stopped and looked out of the window and the lines In her face deepened. “When Mary married him they had rather a small fncome, Mary had been an only child and accustomed to far more, but she was In love and did not mind doing without things at first. But gradually, as he had made more money, she had increased their ex- penditures ‘way ahead of what they should have spent. They not only had never saved anything, but e had run up bills that he did not see how he was er to pay. He wi 0 worn out trying to get more and more money that he was almost ready to lle down and die. When he sald that—he just whispered it with his head in his hands—I thought my heart would break. “ ‘But why do you not talk It over with Mary? I asked. ‘She loves you, and of course she would cut down expenses and live more simply.’ ““He just shook his head. ‘Not now. Once, years ngo, perhaps she could and would have done it, but that time has gone by. I have told her that I can- not afford this scale of living, but I can not make any impression upon her. Or. If I do, and she promises to do better, presently everything Is just as it was be- fore. No, 1 can't change anything myself. But I've been wondering, mother, If perhaps you could do it Do you think If you had a talk with Mary it would help matters? ““Well, you oan imagine how I felt. Mary has no mother, and I belleve she loves me. &he has always been affectionate, and while T was with them she did everything she could to glve me a lovely tite. But ought T to Interfers in what, after all, was not my own affair? Would I not do more harm than good? “ 1 must not meddie,’ I sald, Mary would resent it, and you would unconsclously feel that I hgd made matters worse instead of better.’ *“8o T just came back home again and never said & word, Do you think I did right? What would you bave done? “Just what you did, I think,” I sald ‘T don't belleve a daughter-in-law ever takes suggestions very readily from her mother-in-law, even If they love each other; the implied criticlsm is pretty sure to be resented. But could you not have advised your son to vake some step which would have helped matters?™ “1 dia do that. ‘John,' T sald, ‘put your foot down! Tell Mary that your household expenses must be limited to exactly so much a year and no more. Get her to set down In black and white what you pay for servants and food and clothing and entertaining, and add 1t up. e will probably be appalled at the total. that some of the servants must go; and give her a dress allowance and make her agree to live within it. If worst comes to worst, move into a smaller house, or take an apartment, or even board at a hotel. Take things in your own hands. Don't let her run away with everything! Can't you stop this expenditure #f you are really determined about it “What did he say?" “He shook his head. ‘Mother,’ he sald in that de- spairing way that almost makes me cry to think about it, ‘I've done all those things except move, Mary won't move, and I doubt if it would help things it she would, for apartments and hotels, such as she ‘would insist on, are frightfdlly costly. She has prem- fsed to do better time after time, but nothing lasts. Bhe is all that is sweet and attractive, and I'm in love with her just as I was when we were married. But she is a spolled child, I'm afraid, and nothing will ever make her over into a wise, economical housewife. It simply isn't in her.' " ““Then, you tee,” I sald, “your talking to her would have done no good. I'm rather glad you did not try 1t “I've been wondering whether 1 might write it all to her, and beg her to forgive me If I told her that 1 had found John looking so old and careworn that I feared he was worrying over his business, and 1 thought if she realized that he was, she might help him to make things easier. Do you think that would do any good?" “No, I'm afrald gentle measures will not help things. The cause lies too deep. You will have to walt.

But anyway, loss of money fsn't the woret thing In the world. And other things may step in to help, too.

MAHA, July 8.-To the Editor of The Bee: As a rule it does not pay to object to errors in papers. But when through a slip an error is made that may injure others, and I am the inno- ocent cause thereof, I belleve I ought to correct it. Your Lincoln correspondent, through a mere slip, I belleve, represents me as baving severely criticised the work of tho tax commission. He is entirely at fault. What erfticlsm I ever made of their report was but minor and made in personal conversation—never publicly I did not criticise it publicly, because I belleved, and still belleve, that it was A& progressive report. It almed in the right direction. One of the best proofs of this fact lles in the record of the recent session of the senate. That body, controlled by a majority pledged before- hand to prevent anything that had the smack of progress In It, refused re- peatedly to notice the recommendations of the tax commission. It utterly ig- nored the commission, where it Gid not fly dirrectly In the face of it. As a matter of fact I was the only member who defended on the floor of the senate the work of that commission. I was the only member, that I now re- call, who Introduced any bill to carry out recommendations of that commission. This, too, while the majority over- whelmingly defeated every one of them. (And the leader of that majority now asks the progressive democrats of this state for their suffrages to make him governor.) These facts hardly justify the state- ment that I ridiculed the report of that commission. 1 belleve this is due the members of that commission. L. J. QUINBY. Save the Dove. SOUTH SIDE, ‘July 17.—To the Editor of The Bee: I saw by the papers of yesterday that now is the time to kill doves, If there is one bird that ought to be saved above all others from the gun of the fellows who think they are sportsmen it is the gentle and innocent dove. It has been a wonder to me that the legislature has not passed an act to protect the dove and to save it from further destruction. At the rate they have been killed in the last few years they wili soon go the way of the wild pigeon and the buffalo. The American epirit as furthered by Roosevelt and others that think they are sportsmen is to kil all wild animals and birds. That is one reason for my dislike of Roose- velt. A few years ago when we would drive out In the country we could see doves In large numbers along the fences and hedges. Now it is a rare thing to see one In going along the roads for many miles. Instead of protecting the squirrels that destroy birds and thelr nests and are a general nuisance be- #ides, the legislature should pass an act to protect doves for a number of years at least, for they are of some use while squirrels do more damage by far than they are worth. I belleve that a movement to protect doeve should be started with the pur- pose of getting the next legislature to pass an act to forbid thelr further de- struction, for the man with the sporting sun will soon have them totally exter- minated. Let us try to dlscourage the destruc- tion of the fine old turtle dove, for it ought to be regarded as a shame that #uch fine birds should be destroyed for the little mouthful of meat that may be on them.

BUSTIS, Neb, July 17.—To the Editor of The Bee: Mr. Poly Glot asks, “Are we attempting to cause flliterates to belleve that the world's wisdom is all packed in America™ You bet we are, old sport. We are also attempting to cause those lliterates, and your intellectuals also, to believe that these United States is the hub of the universe.

ANOTHER TOURIST PRINTER. “Try the Spirits.” OMAHA, July 17.-To the Editor of The Bee: In a recent issue of The Bee Carl [lerring quotes a paragraph from Mre. Eddy’s writings in whioch she claims divine origin for Christian Bclence. In view of this and the fact that she called her book *Sclence and Health,” a key to the scriptures and quotes freely from the Bible in an effort to prove her contentions, it would seem to be perfectly proper for us to apply a Biblical test in order to ascertain the truth, As in this day, so In the early days of the church there seems to have been many who aspired to be leaders of thought, and with a modicum of truth sought followers in order to bulld up a sect. The early Christians wishing to help along every good work, seem to have been in some bewilderment so the Apostle Johm in 1 John 4:1-3, gives them a teat Here is the test, “Try the spirits Wwhether they are of God.” *“Bvery spirit that confesseth that Jesus Ckrist is come in the flesh is of God.” HBvery apirit that comfesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God. Does Christlan Sclence confess that Jesus Christ Is come in the flesh? Mrs. Pdy's hook has much to say about Jesus Christ, but is he the same Jesus Christ the apostles tell us about? The only Jesus Christ the apostles knew anything about was the one who on account of Adam's transgression, which brought sin and death into the world, suffered death and paid the ran- som price, and 80 became man's re- deemer. Mrs. Eddy used quite a number of pages in her book In an effort to show that the Bible story of the fall of Adam was a lle. There is the test, and it is applicable to any religio-sclentific, or religio-philoso- phical propaganda. BIBLE STUDENT.
