TF iE. OMAHA SUNDAY BEE AUGUST 2, 1915 The Faded Glamor of War. The Aifticulties experienced in drumming up recruits in those countries which depend on vol- untary enlistments, and the periodic talk about resorting to conseription, grimly reminds us that the glamor of war has almost wholly faded from the great European confliet at arms.

Drawing lessons from sad experience dur- ing the recent hurricane, Texas newspapers are agitating and advocating some system of perma- nent wire communication to do away with the vacancy. p ' chief source of agony Incident to the storm, £ arising from the inability of people to convey Minnesota is trylng to make out a little dis- | information to their friends.

We urged it upon telezraph and tele- phone companles to meet at once the ultimate | necessity of underground wire conduits for at least trunk line connections between the most ifmportant population centers, something they must come to some day, assuming that the wire- less cannot overcome the interference of the elements, and it can be done at an expenditure of little more than i{s now annually used for replacement after storm havoc. A coastwise cable might possibly fit {n with such a plan, though it could not supply the whole need, for intercommunication i{s as important to the in- terior as between shipping ports. That, how- ever, is a question of comparative costliness of construction. If coast cables are feasible, they might perhaps in some cases be carried also inland along the river beds, But because of | the circultuous mileage, we take it that under- | ground condults on rallroad rights-of-way would be more economical in the long run, and certalnly more serviceable. For ourselves, we cannot help but believe the day s not far dis- tant when we will h permanent ocean-to- ocean wire communication along the main transcontinental highway with connecting lat- erals, making it the nation's arterlal system for instantaneous transmission of intelligence from center to circumference. A Tragedy and Its Lesson, The shock the public must have received from the news of the death of Mrs, Pershing and her three children will not be lessened by knowledge that nine others have lost their lives through being burned in bed at the Presidio at fan Francisco. This naturally suggests some- thing has been neglected at this important mili- tary post.

Federal courts are approaching with great csution the question whether maintenance of fixed prices constitutes restraint of trade under the Sherman law. A number of decisions by the lower courts in which the question was raised, in nearly all cases turned upon the means employed in maintaining and enforcing uniform prices to the consumer. The latest deliverance on the question comes ' from the federal district court of Buffalo in the government suit against the Bastman Kodak company of Rochester. In this, as in preceding cases, the government contended tbat every at- tempt to fix the price at which purchasers must ~ sell the goods in itself constituted an unlawful ~ act. The court did not uphold that point, so ~ far as the published report shows, but concerned itself with the means, not the end.

BETURNING from a recent vacation trip to Call- fornia, one of the members of The Bee's staf’, Thomas J. Fitzmorris, brought back with him a most Interesting, and, 1 belleve, unique newspaper file bearing on one phase of Omaha history. The im- print on the outside exviains the contents as the first five volumes of “The High School Journal'—only the second issue is missing, and also part of one of the subsequent numbers. The old settlers, and some, who, llke me, have more lately gotten into the old settler clase, will have a distinct, or Indistinct, remembrance of this publication, which was started originally as a student enterprise of the Omaha High school, the first coples coming off the press in 1874, with. the title, “The High fchool.” . It was to be a monthly journal to take the place of a proposed manuseript newspaper, suggested as an addition to the customary Friday afternoon lit- erary exercises, for the purpose of disseminating cor rect intelligence about the school, and promoting its growth and weltare. The editorial roster was made up as follows: Editor-in-chlef, Menry D. Esta- brook; assiatant editor, Stacia Crowley; local editora, | John Crelghton and Charles Redick; cufling editors, George Megeath and Kate B. C. Copeland; soliciting agents, Nathan Orary and Luclus Wakeley; malling agents, Arthur Huntington and FErnest Kenniston; advertising agent, Fred Knight, the latter's place soon falling to George Megeath. After five lssues had appeared the Figh School Publishing assocfation, which was responsible for it, gave way to G. W. Megeath & Company as pub- lishers, who In turn were succeeded by J. F. Mo~ Cartney, calling himself “manager.” The publica- tion remained in the control of Mr. McCartney as editor and publisher throughout its existence. Me- Cartney, who was more familiarly known as “Jim,” afterwards became city clerk, then joining a brother out west, both of whom have since died. In the meanwhile, the name of the paper was changed to “The High School Journal,” and the character of its contents, at first almost wholly relating to the school and its activities, broadened out to include many features that had mnothing to do with the school. This file of the Journal had passed into the possession of Miss Wlizabeth F. McCartney, & sister of the McCartney brothers, who gave up her resi- dence in Omaha & few years ago to join her mother in Los Angeles, and now, since her mother's death, is living in San Francisco, It goes without saying that this file of The High Echool Journal is full of informational and suggestive material to freshen up a person’s memory along lines connected with high school events. The initial num- ber, for example, prints the annual report of the then superintendent of schools, A. F. Nightingale, who in his introductory paragraph calls attention to the fact that a new Board of Education consisting of two members from each of the six wards of the | city, was In charge of the public schools, having been elected In accordance with the special law in- troduced by Mr. Edward Rosewater, and passed by the legislature in the winter of 187.. The call for the fourteenth annual meeting of the National Bdu- cational assoclation, to be held In Detroit, discloses the fact also that the national secretary was A. P. Marble, presumably then at Peorta, Tl, who after- wards became superintendent of our Omaha schools. The July, 1876, number contains a detalled and ex- haustfve aeccount of the first Omaha High school commencement, including several of the essays In full. It also tells something which T am sure had come to be wholly overlooked—that an alumni as- soclation was organized by the first graduating class without loss of A moment's time, with Stacia Crowley as president; Blanche Deuel, Henry Curry, Add'e Gladstone and Margaret MoCague as vice presidents, Fannle Wilson secretary and Bertha Isaacs as treasurer, There are still other Interesting items to which T may refer hereafter. Perhaps nothing more 18 to be galned by reverting to the federal judgeship fight of elghteen years ago. but it will do no harm to verity a few points that seem to have been left somewhat indefinite. The Munger appointment was, in fact, sent to the senate on Feb- ruary 1, more than a month before President Cleve- land exited from office, and even before the nomina- tion was officially made, it was tipped off to The Bee, as dlsclosed by our newspaper files, by someone fully advised of the situation, who sald: “You may state as a positive fact that President Cleveland will today send to the senate the pame of Willlam H. Munger of Fremont for the position of Judge of the United States federal court here, to suc- ceed Willlam H. Mchugh, who was recently named for the position. Senaior Thurston has sald he would not, it possible to prevent it, allow the name of MoHugh to go through. He has said he was person- ally objectionable to him. He has also said that if the name of Munger had been sent in first he would not have offered any opposition. President Cleve- Jand has decided to put the senator to the test, and today when McHugh's name will be withdrawn, the name of Munger will be sent to-the senate.” Instead of being instantly approved, the confirma- tion 414 not come until two weeka later, or on Feb- ruary 15, The Bee's editorial comment upon the Mun- ger nomination at the time it was sent in indicates what the fight was all about: “It has been unfortunzte for the republican party in Nebraska that there should be any controversy over the filling of the vacant federal judgeship. The Bee belleved, and still belleves, it would have been for the best Interests of the party to have had Judge MeHugh confirmed, because the aprointment was one properly belonging to the present democratic admin- istration, and because it would have strengthened the party with sound money men throughout the state, who belleved this much recognition should be given to the sound money democrats for their work in opposition to the free silver candidates last fall The' same reasons apply to the nomination of Mr. . Munger, although his activity in behalf of the sound money cause was not so pronounced, nor his connec- tion with the party organization so intimate, as that of Judge MoHugh. ii s already plain that the sil- verites would prefer to have the confirmation of this new nomination also defeated in order to estrange the republicans and sound money democrats with the result of ultimately giving the place to a republican,” Documentary evidence s usually better than mere memory, even for those who are the moving actors.

Of two evils we are apt to choose the one we enjoy most. The best years of a pessimist's life are always behind him. The telephone girl isn't always a belle, A bell always rings as it is tolled. Some people never even express opinfon without sending it collect. Even the fellow with a family tree may prefer to branch out for himself. A pessimist is & person who would look for splinters in a club sandwich. Some people are good natured when they have nothing else to do, Women are naturally generous.

In the opinion of a Long Island judge a woman may be so unconventional as to take baths in her veranda, or dash about her back yard clad only in deep thought, and yet be thoroughly competent to man- age her own affalrs without the assist- ance of grown-up children.

No woman ever told another w all her secrets. Do not trust vour enemles; no faithful enemies. Many a man with an abpormal chest expansion Is narow-minded. Second thoughts are best, when they are less expensive. Few men are as wicked as they to have women think they are. How a woman does enjoy quarreling with a man who lsn't quarrelsome! A tactful woman can see the point of a joke just as weli if it fsn't there. ncounters & chap who says the confidence man smiles. A patent medicine testimonial occa- sionally thrusts greatness upon a small man. 6 ) About the only way you can stir up a mean man's consclence Is to catch him at it. What a man would call “enthusiasm" in himsel? he is very apt to label “gush" in others. Shoplifters should go Into a drug store and take something for what's the matter with them. No true woman ever takes off her hat without putting up her hand to ascertain whether her back hair 1s still gn the dob. Sometimes a man will do a mean thing because he has confidence in his ability to square himself by offering an apology. ~—Chicago News. there are | especially Iike | DOMESTIC PLEASANTRIES.
