Senator John Mattes of Otoe county in a public statement gives information that should definitely settle a silly rumor set afloat by a | American alliance in Nebraska proposed enter- | Department. on President Wilson and his adherents. This statement is flatly denied by Senator Mattes, who says: “The State alliance of Nebraska is perfectly non-political and independent in poli- tics."” The cheap effort of the democrats to gain | support for thelr party by alleging lack of loy- | alty against the German citizenship of Nebraska. is contemptible. The Bee has frequently pointed out that our forelgn-born citizens generally are loyal to this government, and staunch in their support of Ameriean institutions. Any move- | eitizens of foreign birth or descent should re- | celve the rebuke it deserves. A cause which re- quires such support merits only defeat. Fixing Real Estate Values. The question of how to fix values of property of various kinds that it may be equally and justly assessed for the purpose of taxation is al- ways before the people. It has just been pre- gented in the concrete form to the convention of county commissioners at Grand Island, through a request from the state board of assessment that the counties arrange to co-operate with the state board in the determination of real estate values The convention voted down the proposition, which means that the present rather involved and generally unsatisfactory method of valuing lands will be continued. In principle the Nebraska law is good. practice it has produced such discrepancies be- tween the several counties as to present a most perplexing problem to the state board, which is required to equalize the assessment rate, Sev- oral attempts have been made in recent years so to revise the revenue laws that they would op- erate more exactly in distributing the burdens of taxation. Each of these efforts has ended In legislation that has increased rather than dimin- ished the difficulty of securing the end In view. It ought not to be impossible to reach a basis for fair and equitable valuation, but as long as the situation is continued In its present form, that long the inequalities will be apparent. Ne hard and fast rule can be laid down for valuing land anywhere, and least of all in Nebraska, where conditions on which values must rest cover so wide a range. Intelligent co-operation between the taxing authorities of the several di- visions of the state, however, should bring about @ better arrangement. The county commission- ers well could have afforded to devise some plan to this end. e e Comfort for the Patriots. Word comes from Washington that the sena- tor has withdrawn his opposition to the confir- mation of a long list of names of Nebraska pa- triots placed on the pay roll through the activity of the late secretary of state. This action was to some extent anticipated, because of the pe- culiar position in which the senator finds him- self. He has recelved scant consideration at the hands of the great commoner and his foilowers, and yet he needs their votes. Conseguently, great joy will spread among the pay-roll pa- triots because the issue has been thus happily determined. The big places have not yet been settled, but it is quite likely that the senator will let the tail go with the hide. Now, when the federal judgeship is disposed of, the factions can face each other at the primaries with knives in thelr hands. Saving the Pacific Fleet. ‘The first act of the American International Corporation was to purchase seven ships of the Pacific Mail fleet and thus preserve on the Pa- cific ocean a portion, at least, of this transpor- tation line. The Pacific Mail boats were rap- 1dly being disposed of and removed from service on the western ocean, threatening the transpor- tation industry there with virtual extinction. The American International Corporation is or- ganized for the purpose of promoting commerce between North and Bouth America, and in pur- chasing these steamships it has performed an act of great usefulness to the intercourse it in- tends to foster. Its example is one that encour- ages those who have some faith fn big business. Immigration in War Time. The Department of Labor reports that immi- gration for the last year fell below any total recorded for longer than a score of years. This 1s not at all a surprising state of affairs. Euro- pean countries, from which a great part of our immigration comes, are at present engaged in feeding to the cannons the men who ordinarily try. The most direct effect of this state of af- fairs will be to Increase the opportunity for em- ployment of those who are here. With more cer- the misery attendant upon unemployment will be noted. Industrial activity in this ecountry at present is such as must reduce the mumber of unemployed to a very low mark., Thus the fall ing off in immigration will result in & better distribution of the prosperity attendant upon the war conditions at home. sion in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, prompted by the fallure of an evangelist to comvert the host of democrats quartered in the State house at Jetferson City. The trail was kept open for three weeks beyond the appointed time, to ac- commodate the State house conversions, but only one jobholder professed a hankering for the new life. No doubt the intentions of the evangelist were good, though misdirected. Nothing short of a political landslide could move Missouri’'s jobholders from a plecounter to @ sawdust trail.

The writer of an article in Popular Science Monthly and The World's Advance (New York, November), tells of these and other devices that are at once more fn- We read: “How to prevent people from taking the deadly bichlorid-of-mercury tablets by mistake is a problem which has confronted the authorities of every big city In the country “S0 many cases of accidental polsoning by these tablets have come to light since the unfortunate death of a banker in Georgia by this means that for a while it seemed almost like an epldemic. To prevent the taking of these deadly little pellets by those who do it with sulcidal intent is scarcely possible, since ‘Where there's a will there's a way,’ but It Is to protect the innocent—those who take them believing them to be for stomach disorders or headaches—that so much e: fort has been made. we “Not long ago, Healta Commissioner Ernest J Lederle of New York City asked the co-operation of chemists, doctors and interested laymen in offering | suggestions for the best means of putting up these tablets in a form that will insure against accident; in other words, in some form whereby they can not well be taken through mistake for some other medicine in tablet form. ‘“The responses to this request were encouraging. numerically, but many of the ideas offered were amu - Ing, few of them were practical, and some we'e actually ludicrous. Probably two-thirds of these sug gestions had to do with the form of the bottle in which the tablets were put up. “Several score simply suggested ‘odd-shaped bot- tles,' and some of these shapes were odd indeed. One of these suggestions were for a bottle tapering to o sharp edge at each side, the.claim being that ne unusual form would warn any person that the con- tents was dangerous. Another advised using a sort of overgrown vial, a bottle slightly tapering from base to neck, about a foot long and not much larger in cir cumference than the tablets. ‘Put the tablets up in such a bottle, each wrapped in paper, and no ono | would make a mistake,’ was the advice with this sug- geation. Something of this nature was tried in Ger- many last year, but it did not work very well, three children being fatally polsoned thinking the contents was candy. Besides, it is too long and clumsy o bottle for physiclans to carry in medicine cases.” Another genius has suggested making these tab- lets with holes through them, and then stringing them like beads. The writer thinka it doubtful if any one would mistake them in this form, yet some child, thinking them beads, might get hold of a string and put them in his or her mouth, One of the queerest is & nongraspable bottle much like a nettle. It is covered with sharp spilkes over its entire surface, excepting the bottom—even the cork being a horned affa'r Then, too— ‘One inventor devised a plan whereby he was able to demonstrate the safety of his device by taking some of the tablets without the least harm. This was dorie by covering them with a thin rubber jacket In the (llustration the ordinary tablet is shown at the left. The rubber covering is in two parts as shown The tablet is Inserted In one-half of the rubber jacket a8 indicated, the other half stretched over it. ‘“‘If any one should take one of these rubber. covered tablets by mistake, thinking it a headache tablet,’ the Inventor urged, ‘it would not harm him ‘The rubber jacket would keep the julces of the stom. ach away from it, and it would be thrown off with- out the least danger, see? and at the word ‘see’ he calmly swallowed a couple of them. When it was learned the tablets Inside were the deadly bichlorid of mercury he was carefully watched, and thero was much consternation. But he was right; no harm came of it. The {dea is that If one wants a tablet of thiy polson for any legitimate use, all he need do is to peel off the rubber jacket; whereas If he takes it by mis- take it will not harm him. “‘One of the simplest suggestions, yet mot so very bad after all, consisted of simply making each tablet Wwith & sharp pin through the center, ‘No one would swallow that tablet by accident,’ declared the man who suggested it, and he was doubtless right “Ap ingenious but somewhat costly scheme, con- sidering the present market price of radlum, was to blow in the bottle the word ‘Poison’ and make this word of hollow letters in which was placed a solution or composition containing radium. “It would always glow and the word would stand out in the dark as a warning, like a ligh-- house," declared the Inventor. “When the bottle gets empty take it back and exchange it for a full bottle, paying only for the tablets this time. The glow will last forever!" “‘Other suggestions included a sort of slot-machine where specialily prepared afsks of metal were pro- vided and no one could remove a tablet without in- serting one of these disks. It was designed to be put up beside the medicine chest. “Senator Ashurst introduced a bill in congress re. Quiring that bichlorld-of-mercury and other deadly tablets be put up in some standard color, a bright green, for instance. But even this would not pra. vent a person from mistaking them in the dark Scores of people have lost their lives by going to the medicine closet at night without a light and swallow- ing bk‘hlorldflbmnr\:l{ry by mistake.” People and Events ‘The glorious golden tales of Virginia City and Gold Hill, and the later stamped stuff of Tonapah and Goldfield, are easily matched by the mining dope now coming out of Nevada City, Nev.

Courts and lawyers are a necessity in a civilized country, but you can have too much of a good thing sometimes. In the legislature two years ago, of which I was & member, the lawyers (members of the house) said it was necessary that we have another set of courts, in addition to what we already have. They called it the appelate court and sald that the supreme court was a year and a half behind with its cases, and that the litigant had to wait almost two years for his case to be dec ded. There were some preliminaries which would carry the matter over to another session, but they attempted to lay the foundation for a change in the | law at that session, but it lost out. Courts, coyrts and more courts, and who will pay the bill? The people, the tax- payer, and taxes rising higher and higher as the years roll by. The workman's compensation law was passed at that session. I voted for the bill because it would remove one fruit- tul source of litigation, “personal injury cases.” No one thought the bill was per- fect. With over 1,200 bills to be disposed the is only case, appearance on the other Court ad- of it is that the bill did finally p as every lawyer In the house was ferninst the bill. We can now see wher the law is wrong. The compensation is too low, | too ridiculous, but it can be amended and made right. A medium can be arrived at just to both parties. If either side 1is favored, let it be the man who is injured, the workingman. But don't repeal the law; don't take a backward step, Now T don't want to make any kick on the lawyers. They are honorable men, as a clags. At least, I have found them so. But you know' yourself that sometimes their interests lle in one direction, while ours is in another, and we have to 1ook out for our own interests sometimes, EDWIN M. SEARLE. German {n Public Schools. OMAHA, Dec, 15.—To the Editor of The Bee: I observe that since the first of this school year the German language has been taught in the publle schools of Omaha on an equal plane with our own national language—English, T understand that German is taught in all grades above the fourth. This was folsted on us so quletly and so thoroughly that we should like to enquire by what means and authority, was it done. I wish to make a vigorous protest against the teaching of any forelgn lan- guag® in our public schools at public ex- pense before the ninth and ten grade. And then the language, if forelgn, should be left to the cholce of the pupil, for not all persons are interested In the German language. If any forelgn language is taught to children in America below the ninth and tenth grades it should be done in the private schools or churches, but not with public funds. However, it is foolhardy for parents of forelgn extrac- tion to try to keep their children from becoming purely and loyally American. There is nothing we need more in our schools than more and better English. This s an English-speaking nation and we need more than we get of it. After children have studied English eight or nine years it is then carly enough for them to choose a foreign language, and let it be their own choice, for German 1s hot a universal language. The whole world is learning English. The course of study in our public Schools here is arranged so that the pupil must take German or lose the time others devote to it. Then, parents and children are advised that it is better to take the study than lose the time. Very shrewd, is it not? Is our Board of Fducation re- sponsible for such an arrangement of our course of study? E. L.
