SepEm— Apparently there is no such word as “‘cure” in the lexicon of the state pure food commis- sloner. To be real frank with ourselves, Secretary Garrison seems to be the only live one In the cabinet. Novogeorglevsk was smashed to bits by Teu- ton artillery. Any attempt to weld the pleces deserves a like fate, | As a sporting proposition any odds may be given on a majority vote sustaining the weather man's remarks on mean temperatures, Fortunately for the people of Bellevue, am- ple tacllities are at hand for reaching Omaha and exorcising the evil curse in an atmosphere of sanctity. According to Bishop Bristol, “Billy” Sun- flay is coming to Omaha, not because it is a bad town, but because it is such a good town. Just let that sink in! The prospect of peace between Colonel wt and Colonel Bryan are even gloomier 3 among Europe's warring powers. Muni- tions have llmitations, caloric none. . Latter carriers more than any other class of public servants get closest to the people. It soes without saying that Omaha hospitality and weleome will be theirs during the national con- veution. State Auditor Smith is not going to accept the attorney general's ruling that we have noth- ing but vacancies on our state railway commis- slon. It Mr. Smith is not careful, the next opinion of the attorney general will create a vacancy in the office of auditor. —— The question recurs, Should the Nebraska farmer refuse to sell his horses to be slaughtered in the war over In Burope, regardless of the | tempting prices? It is the same question as to whether the American manufacturer should fill orders for war munitions. ugustus Schermerhorn, division englneer of the {/nion Pacific for Nebraska, was united in marriage to Mary E.

In the | | | | Western Laborer, a local publication here de- voted to the interests of wage-workers, these vigures, plainly quoted from another source, take this form. That there are 8,00.00 able-bodied in the Unitea States who owe tlleziance to Eurorean nations, wans disclcsed in Labor departm:nt statistics. These naturalization bureau !(igures showed 14,000,000 foreign- born citizens In the cointry who have not acquired men citizenship. The war has Circcted attention to tha staggering number of men who come to the United States and then refuse to become citizens Such a mituation would indeed be “‘stagger- jug" if true, but that there is something wrong with the numbers somewhere {s quickly discov- | ered by any one seeking to verify them. | According to the last census—and the 1610 figures, relatively speaking, hold guod today— the total number of foreign born persons——men, women and children—in the United States are | 18,615,886, It is therefore preposterous to say | that we have 14,000,000 foreign born persons who have not acquired citizenship, The last census figures likewise show that the total number of foreign born males over twenty-one years of age in the United States is 6,646,817, It is therefore even more preposter- our to say that there are 8,000,000 able-bodied | men in the United States who owe allegiance to European nations. While statistics covering the number of for- nccessible to us, some light may be secured from o comparison with the electlon returns. Here in Nebraska the census gives us in round figures 350,000 male Inhabitants of voting age, and the highest vote cast i{s approximately 275,000, which with the addition of the usual ten per cent for the vote not polled would bring the number of eligible to vote in this state well above 300,000, If Nebraska is typical, then, it would be not far out of the way to figure at most fifteen per cent of those of voting age to be in- cligible to vote, and fifteen per cent for the whole country would be less than 1,000,000. So “the 8,000,000 able-bodied men in the United Stateg who owe alleglance to European nations’ must be for the most part merely 8,000,600 men in buckram, The Ballot and the People. Senator Root's speech to the New York con- stitutional convention, in favor of the short bal- lot, will bring the subject prominently forward for discussion again. His arraignment of “in- | visible government” {s strong and virile, but \mo strongest argument for the short ballot does not rest on that point alone. The fragmentary re- port of Senator Root's remarks, furnished for the news columns, gives no mention of the real reasons for removing a great many of the minor offices of government from the elective to the appointive classification. These reasons are nu- merous and potent, and are coming more and more to be understood and accepted by students of our political structure. The short ballot does not mean taking the power away from the peo- ple, whose rule will be more absolute when it is concentrated on the election of responsible ad- ministrative and executive officers, The Bee's plea for the short ballot met with only partial response in Nebraska, where the length of the ballot has reached such proportions as to be ri- Glculous as well as to effectually prevent an in- telligent and discriminating exercigé of the vot- er's cholce. 1f New York should adopt the pro- posed reform, it may encourage Nebraskans to similar action, — Ak-Sar-Ben's Growing Greatness. Some talk was heard last year about aban- doning Ak-Sar-Ben, It had outlived its useful- ness, sald the objectors; the jovial ruler of Guivera had become passe and the people were tired of him and wanted something new. The answer to this is found this season im the largest membership ever enrolled under the ban- ner of the king, The greatest crowds ever as- sembled at the Den are there each Monday might, and more visitors by many thousands have been entertained by the knights this summer than ever before. Ak-Sar-Ben worn out? Never in all his twenty-one years of active life has Famson's mill for making boosters been so busy us now. The spirit of Ak-S8ar-Ben is growisg #tronger instead of waning, and the king waxes more and more puissant his prosperity in- creases and his domain is extended. The in- #litution of Ak-Sar-Ben has proved its useful- ness in ways t0o many to be readily enumerated, and It will be a factor in the life of Nebraska and Omaha for many years to come. ————— Notable Feat of Naval Engineering. | Bringing into dry dock the remains of sub- marine F-4 Is another notable achlevement of the engineers of the United States navy. To do this some new records had to be established, such as the descent of a diver to the unheard-of depth of 215 feet. Deep disappointment will be felt that not one of the crew lost with the boat bas yet been found, and that the processes of rescuing the hull have necessarily destroyed wuch that would have been useful in deter- mining the cause of the disaster. Enough is there, though, to give the naval experts great assistance in their efforts to solve the problems of undersea navigation, especially as to the dif ficulties of proper construction, and future sub- warine sailors will have the advantage of pro- tection thug devised. For the public, the chief interest s that the navy has been successful in wresting from old Neptune's grip the bones of a vessel that seemed hopelessly lost. S —— Court interference with the last hour appro- { priations of the Illinois legislature seriously dis- locates the sclence of logrolling and the effi- clency of grab. Moreover, the action ties up until the high court speaks the sum of $320,000 | And strips the state ple-counter of much salu- brious fodder, including extra mileage the law- makers voted to themselves. Se——— Peru’s solution of the problem of what to do with ex-presidents by shooting up two o them does not commend ftself for general adop- tion. Its efficlency ls unquestioned, but it would rob succeeding presidents and the public of priceless advice and periodic ‘“statements,’ which enbance the galety of life elgn born whe have become naturalized are not | i On Folly of Extravagance e Winnifred Cooley in Mother's Magasine...- T THE outset we should rea that the term “extravagance’ is susccpdole of va.ying ue.im It is & sliding scale, depending upon time and personal income. W hat is extravagant for one person manifestly 18 not exiravasant for another. Again, what is extravagant in one time of our life, is not in another. The repiehensible part of modern ex- travagance, 18 that we pursue it so largely in order to impress other people, If a luxury is really the ex- pression of tome vital need with us, it may not be An extravagamce, Frequently a person will make many minor sacrifices in order to secure some ex- pensive thing which reems to him the most necessary thing in the world. For instance, students of mus who belleve that they possess extraordinary tale will nearly sta ve for years, in order to pay enormous prices for lessons These sums would be extravagant for most of us, but are not 8o if the worker belleves that he fa fitting h meelf for a career Which will one | day bring him (ame and fo. tune. tions. But the useless extravagance is that which induces us 1o pay out abiuid sums because “every oOne I8 doing it.” We are cowards, in mortal terror of run- ning counter to conventional ty or not measuring up to certain standards set by others. One of the com- monest, yet mcst contempiible sayings of which all of us moderns are guilty, fs: “If I give a dinner, I insist on doing it right.” The word “right” thus used, | bas no moral significance whatever—what we mean ts, “If 1 give a dinner, I am going to do it in a cer- taln conventional manner, to prove to my guests that I know how wealthy people entertain.” Not to begin a meal with oysters on the half-shell, or sced grape- fruit, or boulllon, would argue that we were not ac- customed to the usages of good society. People, there- fore, in quite humble financial circumstances, agonize over necessary entertaining, serve multitudinous raes, reduce their guests to a state of lethargy— | molely to show that they known how wealthy peoplo dine. Once in awhile, a wise, serene housekeeper serves a simrle, nutritious and delicious meal—a julcy beef steak, or an appetizing ealad, with a few ac- cessorfes, quite indifferent to the fact that it is not done In the beat soclety. It her friends are discrimi- nating they rise up and call her blessed! One form of extravagance consists In wearing clothes that rre not appropriate. It is not extravagant for a wealthy woman, who always rides in her 1imousine, to wear white suede shoes or French-heeled satin slippe's, or shoes with light cloth tops. It is manifest extravagance for the working woman, ob- liged to wak through muddy streets, to indulge in such impractical footgear. Yet, because those who #et the fashions decree that white or champagne- colored gaiters are the latest mode, every shopgirl is miserable until she can purchase them! The result to beholders is most distressing, as the light colors are usually stained and splashed with mud. There is nothing refined about dirty finery. Some people in our modern life (In small towns as well as cities) honestly belleve that they are not ex- travagant, because they cannot conceive of any way by which they can possibly economize. Men and women imag'ne many vain things which they take for gospel truth. They often say: “It always pays to purchase good things.'” In one sense, this ia true. A good quality of material will outlast a shoddy, cheap material. The extravagance or economy of & pure chase may depend, however, on other things. If you are one of the women of moderate income who cast aside a suit or a gown the moment the least change of style has taken place, then it is certainly mnot economy to buy an expensive gown. Ome for & lower price will look as well for a short season. People In very moderate circumstances have formed in the last few years, habits of entertaining at public restaurants and cafes, because unwilling to give a little thousht and attention to meals in the home. In many cases this is a foollsh extravagance. The temptation is to order recklessly and indiscriminately. and there are all manner of other necessary expendi- tures, including the tipping of walters. The actual materials for excellent refreshments are comparatively cheap: it only needs that the housekeeper take the trouble to cook them. Of course there is much to be said In behalf of the ease of entertaining in public. It certainly is not extravagant, when the woman gliv- ing a luncheon or dinner is a hard-worked professional or business woman, but these are mot the women to whom these remarks apply. It has become a standing joke that peopls of modest means in every village, town and city in Amer- fca, are mortgaging their homes, In order to have a car of some sort. Undoubtedly it is true that some families maintain motor cal who seem mnot able to afford them; yet many cars are so inexpensive nowa- days, that their Initlal cost is not great, and the seem- ing extravagance may be justified by the benefits of the new outdoor life, fresh air, and normal pleasures in which the entire family can participate. The maintenance of a car depends largely on the individual clrcumstances. People living In the country take care of it themselves, house it in a small shed on the premises, and maintain it for almost noth'ng. In citles. the cost of keeping a car at a garage is very high; this, many times, is the extravagance. Many are the fallacles with which people comfort themselves, and excuse running into debt. In its last analysils, extravagance is not only a matter of bad judgment, of bad taste, but of actual immorality, Hon- esty is one of the foundation qualities of a sound character. Extravagance implies many times the presence of such unlovely qualities as indolence, of weak snobbery, of actual dishonesty. Twice Told Tales The Comehback. T. A. Dorgan, the cartoonist, was Lrying to hire a chauffeur the other day and went about it In his usually breezy style, When the first applicant ap- peared Tad said: “Of course, I want a man who can speak French, play pinochle, curry a horse and make & Jack Rose cocktail.” “Well, T can do 'em all and stiil have a few tricks up my sloeve,” said the chautfeur, with becoming mod- esty. t!l'-d lockea him over and then said, suddenly: *I don't know.

NORTH LOUP, Neb, Aug. 31.—To the Editor of The Bee: There s much dis- cussion just at this time with respect to the construction of macadamized roads. If, when we begin a job of work, we would carefully go over the subject and find where other people have failed In that same class of work, we might save much expense and many mistukes. Is the concrete and brick roadbed a proper method of bullding long stretches of permanent road? 1 will say no, and I will give my reasons for saying it Roads of a smooth concrete surface are not good auto roads in wet, frosty weather. Any class of concrete is too apt to erack and become rough. Brick is better surfacing than concrete. One of the necessary elements in per- manent roads is to get a surface that will «olid and remain free from a sleek, siid- Ing surfuce. The material most ideal for roadbeds is the Sherman Hill used on the Union Pacific railroad. It would not become sleek, the water runs | through It like a sleve; it is very firm for the heavier roads. The only repairs necessary is a shovel to smothen down. Autos would not skid on it. If the state were to make arrangements for it the cost should be much lower than cement and brick Public improvements cost too much from the fact that much money is spent in vain on lll-designed works. WALTER JOHNSON. Some School Questio OMAHA, Aug. 3.—To the Editor of The Bee: We taxpayers are extremely grateful to your paper for expoeing the secret sessions of the Board of Educa- tion as you are, for we are vitally inter- ested in how our representatives are using the money and power we have en« trusted to them. There are a few other itemis that the taxpayers and patrons of the Omaha public schools should be acquainted with. For Instance, those of us whu have known about it have been inccnsed for two years at the arrangement of the teachers' pay days. It is humiliating, to say the least, for the teachers who are paving the family grocery and meat bills (and few of them are not), to ssk the grocers and butchers to wait until after the middle of each month for the settle- ment of their accounts, because their warrants are not lssued earlier in the month. Of course, we understand that the at- torney for the Board of Education has declared it !llegal to make out the teach- ers’ payroll until the four weeks' teach- ing has been completed. Why ls it more fllegal to pay the teachers at the end of four weeks' work than it is to pay the Board of Education office force, and the janitors and engineers at that time? It has just “leaked out” that the teach- ers’ committee has said their policies in the future are to change the teachers about every year, and not let them know until the last minute before school opens in September, where they are assigned. Both policles, to our notion, are bad and unjust. If a teacher is successful in one district, with one class of ¢hildren, why change her, unless she so desires, to a district or class in which she has to ‘waste at least several months adjusting | herself, her methods, the children, and | everything else? Would it be good busi- | ness for a merchant employing a clerk who was an expert in selling shoes, to change him to the china department, and then when he was beginning to do good work there, to put him behind the silk counter? TYs not the human mind and its training as important as the selling of gocds? It s unjust not to notify the teachers of their assignments as soon as possible. Nearly every teacher returns to the city several days prior to the opening of school in order to get settled that she may be able to give her entire time and attention and energy to the strenuous duties of the opening days of school. Bupposed one arranged for room and board, paying a month's rent in advance. as s required, in the north part of the city, only to discover after she Is set- tled for the year that she has heen as- signed to a school in the extreme south- ern part of the city. Can’t the board renlize the inconvenlence and useless ex- pense that this “policy” means to the teacher? TEACHER'S FRIEND. Sefence and Relirion, CRESCENT, Ia., Aug. 81.—To the Editor of The Bee: Don't you worry about “Billy” Sunday. Sclence is your name, and you have caused the dwellers on earth to worship you; you have made fire come down out of the heavens. “Ben” Franklin was the first to ac- complish that feat, through his scientific research. You have filled the brains of Thomas Edison with your sclence; you have filled the minds of our ministers, and they take the beast in their ohurch parlors, and have lots of fun with him. Wo are all handicapped; we can neither buy nor sell without the sclentific laber on our product. Now the time is at hand when the foolish things of the warth will confound the things that are wise, and the weak thiags of the earth will confound the things that are mighty, and at the end of t world s greatest war, the Jews will rear up the Kingdom of David, and shall reign for a thousans years. These will be the days when everyone will worship God, and not sclence. J.
