While all good citizens will rejoice In the notable diplomatic victory apparently achleved by the United States in its dealings with the Buropean belligerents, and none will detract from the great good wrought by the president, it is not by any means a partisan triumph. Al the people of the country have stood unitedly by the president and upheld his hands through- out the crisis. If he has had the criticlsm, and perhaps the opposition, of the radicals on one eide, he has had also to deal with the extremists on the other. No more notable example of this possibly could be presented than that afforded by the late secretary of state, who resigned at the most trying moment of the tense situation, riving as his reason that he was not In accord with the president’s views, and could not allow Lis name to be signed to the note that has brought the desired result. Try as they may, the democrats will have some difficulty in mak- | | ing a party trinmph out of these international developments Pascua] Orozeo’s Ending. A border tragedy, just enacted in the moun- ‘ains of southwestern Texas, is not entirely with- cut significant interest for any who care to give It a moment’s attention. A former general of the army of liberation in Mexico has just been sliot to death as a bandit while resisting arrest Ly a posse under the sheriff of the county. This s a most remarkable illustration of the transi- tory nature of glory at the best, and particularly that which has sprung from the anarchy into which Orozco and bis kind have plunged Mexico, Pascual Orozco was really a man of ability, and In the beginning he seemed to be heartily de- voted to the cause of political retorm for his country. Jt was he who put “Pancho” Villa into the service from which the ex-jall bird graduated with others into the business of brig- e#ndage on a magnificent scale, Orozco was Madero's leader In the north, and gave his tal- ents to the support of the cause that triumphed. Later he deserted to the side of the man who destroyed Madero and robbed the country of its chance for peace. With Huerta's flight, Orozco #et up as an independent bandit, and soon found himself harassed by forces stronger than his own, to the end that his venture was turned to fallure, and disgraceful death has overtaken him. He was a fine example of the men who have distracted Mexico under the pretense of patriotism, but not strong enough to stand among them on his own feet, for the very reason, perhaps, that he was more of a man and less of a brute than some who have succeeded. ——— Democrats and the State Treasury. The misdirected zeal of the democrats to establish for themselves a record for economy Las resulted in a situation that {s both embar- rassing and costly for Nebraska, No amiount of scolding by Governor Morehead, or calling of names by lesser lights of the party, will alter the facts or relieve the condition into which the incompetency of the democrats have plunged the state government. The record is plain, and the result is seen in the option of discontinuing the activities of one of the most important bur- eaus of the state administration, or calling an extra session of the legislature, The late legislature was controlled in both branches by the unterritied followers of the ex- secretary and the senator. They had charge of the appropriations, and for three months the siate was scandalized by the wrangling between house and senate committees, and the muddle that resulted from those disputes is just com- ing to be fully appreciated by the people. The leglslature 1s responsible for the failure to pro- vide means to support the state government. The ‘“technicality” the governor says the treasurer should brush aside fn order to permit the proposed raid on the treasury s the law. But, what's the law to a democrat, when the payroll is at stake? State Treasurer Hall de- clines to violate the law, to accommodate the kovernor, and thus shows himself to be the one sane and competent democratic offfelal in the state house, all the others having joined in an effort to induce the treasurer to commit an illegal act and thus atone for a blunder of the party. It Is a good thing for Nebraska that a man of Mr. Hall's backbone and courage is state treasurer now, for there s no telling where the others would go in thelr process of eliminating ‘technicalities.” ———— No Sectarianism in the Public Schools. The attempt to persuade the School board to countenance and authorize a *'Billy" Sunday re- vival meeting in the High school is a good pub- Ueity stunt, but it ought to stop there. Section 11 of article 8, of the constitution of Nebraska reads as follows: No sectarlan tnstruction shall be allowed in o #sohool or institution supported in whole or in part oy the public funds set apart for educational purposes. That ought to settle it right off the bat with- out further discussion. — American tourists caught in the European WAr & year ago are invited to come across with the money advanced them by the government.

BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1915. | | The Whitefield Revivals | Benjamin Fraskiin's Autoblography, | N 179, arrived among us from Ireland Rev. My Whitefleld,, who had made himself remarkabie there as an Itinerant preacher. He was at first permitted to preach in some of our churches; but the | | clergy taking a disl.ke to him, soon refused him their | | pulpits, and he was obliged to preach in the fields. | The multitudes of all sects and denominations that at- | tended his sermons were enormous, and it was a mat- | ter of speculation to me, who was one of the number, | to obaerve the extraordinary influence of his oratory | | on his hearers, and how much they admired ani | respected him, notwithstanding his common abuse of them, by assuring them they were naturally half and half devils. It was wonderful to see the @ #00n In the manners of our inhabitants. From | being thoughtiess or indifferent about religion, It seemed as it all the world were growing religious, so that one could not walk through the town In an even- Ing without hearing pealms sung in different tamilies of every street. And it being found inconvenient to assemble in the open alr, subject to its inclemencies, the bullding of w house to meet In was no sooner proposed, and persons appointed to recelve contributions, than suf- ficlent suma were soon recelved to procure the ground and erect the bullding, which was 100 feet long and 0 | broad, and the work was carried on with such spirit 88 to be finished in a much shorter time than could have boen expected. Both house and ground were vested in trustees, expressly for the use of any | | preacher of any religious persuasion who might desire | to say something to the people at Philadelphia, the deslgn in bullding being not to accommodate any par- teular sect, but the.inhabitants in general; so that even If the mufti of Constantinople were to send a missionary to preach Mohammedanism 1o us, he would find & pulpit at his service. Mr. Whitefield, on leaving us, went preaching all the way through the colonies to Georgia. The settle. ment of that province had been lately begun, but in- | #tead of being made with hardy, industrious husband- men accustomed to labor, the only people it for such an cnterprise, it was with familles or broken shop- keepers and other insolvent debtors; many of indolent and idle habits, taken out of the jails, who, being set down {n the woods, unqualified for clearing Jand and unable to endury the hardships of a mew settiement, perished in numbers, leaving many helpless children unprovided for. The sight of their miserable situation inspired the benevolent heart of Mr. Whitefield with the {dea of building an orphan house there, in which they might be mupported and educated. Returning northward, he preached up this charity and made large collections; for his eloquence had a wonderful power over the hearts and purses of his hearers, of which 1 myself was an instance. T did not disapprove of the design, but as Georgia ‘was then destitute of materials and workmen and it was proposed to send them from Philadelphia at a Ereat expense, I thought it would have been better to have bullt the house at Philadelphia and brought the children to it. This I advised; but he was resolute in his first project, rejected my counsel, and I therefore refused to contribute, I happened soon after to attend one of his sermons, in the course of which I perceived he intended to finish with a collection, and I silently resolved that he should get nothing from me. I had in my pocket a handful of copper money, three or four silver dollars, and five pistoles in gold. As he pro- ceeded I began to soften and concluded to give the copper. Another stroke of his oratory made me ashamed of that and determined me to give the silver; and he, finlshed so admirably that I emptied my pocket wholly into the collector's dish, gold and all, At this sermon there was also one of our club who, being of my sentiments respecting the bullding in Georgia and suspecting a collection might be intended, had by precaution emptied his pockets before he came from home. Toward the conclusion of the discourse, however, he felt a strong inclination to give, and ap- viled to a neighbor who stood near hiia to lend him [ maobey for the purpose. The request was fortu nately made to perhaps the only man in the company Who had the firmness not to be affected by the preacher. His answer was, At any other timo, Friend Hopkinson, I would lend to thee freely, but not now, for thee seems to be out of thy right senses.” Some of Mr. Whitefleld's enemies affected to sup- pose that he would apply these collections to his own private emolument; but I, who was intimately ac- quainted with him, being employed in printing his sermon and journals, never had the least suspicion of his Integrity, but am to this day decidedly of opinion that he was in all his conduct a perfectly honest man; and methinks my testimony in his favor cught to have the more welght, as we had no religlous connection. He used, indeed, sometimes to pray for my conver- slon, but he never had the satisfaction of belleving that his prayers were heard. Ours was a mere civil mn‘uhh #incere on both sides, and lasted to nis th. The following instance will show the terms on Which we stood. Upon one of his arrivals from Eng- land at Boston he wrote to me that he should come soon to Philadelphla, but knew not where he could lodge when there, as he understood his old friend and host, Mr. Benezet, was removed to Germantown. My answer was: “You know my house; if you can make Shift with Its scanty accommodations, you will be most heartily welcome.” He replied that if I made that kind offer for Christ's sake I should not miss of & re- ward. And I returned: “Don’t let me be mistaken; it was not for Christ's sake, but for your sake.” One of our common acquaintance jocosely remarked that knowing it to be the custom of the saints when they recelved any favor to shift the burden of the obliga- tion from off their own shoulders and place it in heaven, I had contrived to fix it on earth. The last time T saw Mr. Whitefield was in London, | where he consulted me about his orphan house con- cern and his purpose of appropriating it to the estab- lishment of a college. He had a loud and clear volce, and articulated his ‘words 8o perfectly that he might be heard and under stood at a great distance, especially as his auditors observed the most perfect silence. He preached one evening from the top of the court house steps, which are in the middle ot Market street and on the west | side of Second street, which crosses it at right angl Both streets were filled with his hearers to a consid- | erable distance. Being among the hindmost in Market | street, I had the curlosity to learn how far he could be heard by retiring backward down the street towar1 the river; and T found his volce distinct till T came near Front street, when some nolse in that street obscured it. Imagining then a semicircle, of which my distance would be the radius, and that it was filled with audftors, to each of whom I allowed two square feet, I computed that he might well be heard by more than 30,00. This reconciled me to the news- | paper accounts of his having preached to 25,000 people in the flelds, and to the history of generals haranguing whole armies, of which I had sometimes doubted. By hearing him often I came to distinguish easily between sermons newly composed and those which he had often preached in the course of his travels. His delivery of the latter was so improved by frequent repetition that every amccent, every emphasis, every modulation of volce, was so perfectly well turned and well placed that without being interested in th. sub- Ject ome could not help belng pleased with the dis- course: a pleasure of much the same kind with that recelved from an excellent plece of music. This is an advantage itinerant preachers have over tnose who are stationary, as the latter cannot well improve thelr delivery of a sermon by so many rehearsals. His writing and printing from time to time gave great advantage to his enemies; unguarded expres- slons, and even erronecus opinions, delivered in preaching might have been afterward explained or qualified by supposing others that might have ac- companied them; or they might have been denled; but litera soripta manet. Critics attacked his writings wviolently, and with so much appearance of reason as to diminish the number of his votaries and preveai thelp Increase. So that I am satisfied that if he had never written anything he would have left behind him & much more numerous and lmportant sect; and his reputation might in that case have beem still growing even after bis death, as there of his writing on which to found a censure and give him a lower character, his proselytes would be left at liberty to attribute to him as great a variety cellences as their enthuslastic admiration might him to have possessed. | | E | a8 s evidenced by the satisfactory work | form of government, get down to busi- | by the various states of 81,000 miles of The PHees ‘ | ‘That Training School Problem. OMAHA, Aug. ~To the Editor of The Bee I have read with much interest your views as well as those of members of the school board on the very vital | question of the abolishment of our traine ing school for Omaha girl graduates. | While on this, as on other questions, | great minds differ, in this contro- versy 1 am confident there exists an hon- est and unselfish difference of opinion. In giving my opinion 1 give it not from A theoretic standpoint, but from per- sonal knewledge gained from actual re- wults, resuits which speak for themselves, being done by the young women now teéaching in our public schools who have graduated from our present training school., There having been no fault found or complaints made oither by the principals of the schools, the parents or the scholars, as to the competency of these young teachers, then why this sud- den demand for the abolishment of this school? Is it not reasonable to presume that the graduates of our high school or other schools of like grades should be capable of teaching in any of the graded schools through which they have passed, this in addition to their two years actual train- ing as teachers In the various grades? Are the opponents of this school imbued with the same jdea that once obtained in the Unlon Pacific shops, where a young man who had served his appren- ticeship in any mechanical calling was requested to leave that department for a year, learn new ideas in other shops, it made no difference where, and at the end of the year he could return and draw & mechanic’s wages, in many instances knowing less when he returned than when he departed. The fact being con- ©Ceded that their work as teachers has proven satisfactory, why put many par- ents poorly circumstanced to an unneces- sary expense in sending thelr daughters away for a training, the possession of which gives them no additional qualifi- catlons to teach? This could be instanced in my own case, as I have a daughter, a graduate from this training school, now & teacher in one of our public schools and against whom no complaint has ever been lodged, and she is making good. Had I been forced to the painful necessity of sending her to Peru or a similar school, it would have been beyond my financlal abllity o to do. As in my case, 80 in the case of many others whose daughters are now teaching in our schools, as well as many others in like circumstances who have economized with the view and pur- pose of having their daughters become teachers through our tralning school evstem. I would sincerely regret that our Omaha girls be deprived of this school, girls whose parents willingly pay their share of the taxes to support our schools and that outeiders with no greater qualifica- tions be selected in their stead. 1 take great pride in our public schools, and in my loyalty to them I yleld to no man. As proof to that statement I point to the fact that my children have all graduated from the Omaha grade achools, one now In the high school and another in the Commercial High. I ask the School board to let that school alone, as it Is the poor man's hope. ED F. MOREARTY. Opposed to Commission Form. SOUTH SIDE, OMAHA, Sept. 2.—To the Editor of The Bee: From what I can learn and see the commission form of city government is a very expensive luxury. From information I can gather there are too many offices and a great many of the officlals are paid salaries far in ex- cess of what they could earn In their private occupations. It would be much better, i1 my judgment, if we would go back to the old form and elect men to the city council by wards, so that every part of the city may have some repre- sentation. A commission of level-headed business men and fair representatives of the labor organizations ought to be appointed to thoroughly overhaul city affairs and cut down unnecessary offices and cut the salaries where it ought to be done in their judgment. Have no politicians on the commission of investigation. Have them cut down city expenses at every point that will not cripple the management of city affairs, but which will be for the benefit of the taxpayers. There I8 no good reason why so many of the city officlals and their ap- pointees should be supplied with auto- mobiles. The salaries of most of them are far in excess of what the average taxpayers can earn and for that reason most of them could afford to buy their own automobiles. It an election should be called today it is my opinion that the commission form of government would be voted out of ex- istence, ILet us get rid of the luxurious ness principles and run the city on an economical basis.
