OMAHA, Nov. l.To tho Kdllor of Tho ricoi Will you plcaso give mo and your readers a few items of extravagance- now be Ins Indulged In by tho present school board 7 I nm a taxpayer and am Inter ested in having a good school system, yet wo do not wnnt to pay out our money for useless favorites, MUS. GEOHGE E. POWELL, 825 Park Avenue. Noto by tho Editor! The extravaganco of tho present school board may bo summed up In a few words and figures! Tha superintendent of schools receives $.1,000 a year, or S15 a day for each school day; his secretary receives (SO a month, whllo competent girl stenographers em ployed In business concerns receive from (40 to J 50 a month. Tho superintendent of buildings, who Is paid $1,800 a year, or 1300 more than tho city building Inspector, has recently had his salary raised $15 a mouth under pretenso of paying for tho uso of his own horso and buggy, which ho has been using alt tha time. Tha secre tary of tho board receives $150 a month and his stenographer $80. Tha principal of tho High school receives $2,400 a year and tho board also furnishes him a woman stenographer at $70 a mouth. Tho pro fessor of chemistry Is paid $130 pec month ns a teacher and $15 a month additional as librarian, whllo a girl paid $35 a month performs tho work ho Is presumed to do. Among tho high-priced Instructors at tho High school Is a professor of biology, who receives $130 a month, but bolng a pet of Superintendent Pearso ho devotes a great part of lils tlmo to playing master ot out door athletics. How far favoritism and nepotism havo been carried at tho expenso of tho tax payers may bo gathered from a few ex amples: The board has placed on tho High school salary roll tho sister ot ono of tho members at $00 a month; tho wlfo of his former employer nt $110; tho sister-In-law of another mombcr at $100; tho nophow of another member, who was not oven put to tho troublo of standing tho usual examination, nt $100, and when ho resigned his placo was given to his room mate; tho daughter of tho local agent of tho School Hook trust nt $J10; tho slstew of tho owner of tho Kellogg paper, now championing Mr. Pearso and the combine, was brought from Kansas City, whero sho was teaching nt $40 a month In a grade school, nnd given a position In tho Omaha High school that now pays her $90 a month; tho head officer ot tho Municipal league, who Is now shouting himself hoarso for tho Pearso school board ticket, haa a nlcco on tho High school payroll at $100 a month, who never had any training or cxpcrlcnco as tencher boforo employed thcro; last, but not least, tho brother of Superintendent Pearso himself, who, although a student In a medical college, Is given $50 a month to drill tho High school cadets from two to six hours n week, whllo tho board might havo had tho services of an army officer without expenso. In order to mako tho work of rcarso's brother show up to greater advantago mili tary drill has been mado compulsory and every boy In tho High school la obliged to provldo a $lS'n uniform, which Imposes a hardship on many poor people. Tho samo reckless extravaganco per meates tho whole system and favoritism takes tho placo' ot merit. Tho result Is that In splto of tho unprecedented school tax Imposed this year to tako up tho floating debt, tho board has fulled to roduco the debt or curtail Us expenses in any direction. OMAHA. Nov., l.To the Editor of Tho Boo:, Mr., Edward Rosewater, In Tho Bco for Sunday, October 27, dovotcs nearly a schools has Increased. If this wero truo there might be at least two good reasons for It without charging tho board with ex travagance. Is It fair to comparo tho school tax of the present year with that of two years ago 7 Ho knows very well that two years ago the city council, then claim ing tho right to fix tho amount ot lovy, re duced the levy to a little moro than halt of what was needed from this source to carry on the schools. And yet ho compares the year when only about halt enough was lovled with this year when tho board wilt conduct tho schools without making any moro deficit and will reduce the deficit from $30,000 to $40,000. For many years tho city council claimed tho right to say how much should bo raised by tax for the schools, The council was induced through several year and until two years ago to refuse to provide the amount ot tax necessary to carry on the schools. 'In this way a largo deficit was necessarily created which still stands, For the past two years the board has had tho right to say how much Is needed In taxes tor conducting tho schools, To stop a previously growing deficit and to reduce, It gradually might very properly require a somewhat larger school tax. t Another reason for an Increase in tho tax would bo tho very great falling oft In other sources pf school revenue In the past few years. Tho following tablo shows how Income from other sources than taxes has shrunk! Incomo per child In attendance from other sources than luxation: 1SS9-00 , 33.40 1890- 91 72.25 1891- 92 31.153 1892- 93 29.85 1893- 94 S0.45 1894- 95 21.62 1HS-96 21.10 1896- 97 19.44 1897- 9? 23.84 1893-99 23,15 1899- 1900 21.87 1900- 01 20.14 This shows that tho money available for each child, from other sources than taxa tion, 1i.ib decreased from $33.40 for tho year 1889-1890, to $20.14 for the year 1900-1901, a falling oft of $13.26 per child. Tho Incomo from other sources than taxa tion for tho first six of tho last twejvo years was on tho nvcrago $30,37 per child; tho Incomo from theso sources for tho last six years (slnco the present superintendent has been in chargo of tho schools), has been $21.62 a year for each child, a falling off In avorago per year of $8.75 a child. Theso figures explain, if taxes were a littlo higher, why it could not well bo otherwise. The greatest falling off in theso revenues other than from taxation has been In the police court fines. Twelve years ngo tho board received from this sourco $2.22 a child, nine years ago tho sum received was $3.02 for each child, last year the amount received was 16 cents for each child, while tho year before tho amount was less than 3 cents for each child. Tho facts do not show that tho board has been extravagant. Twelve years ago tho cost of education per child In attendance was $34.30, last year this expenso was $26.31, a decreaso ot $7.99. For the first six of tho last twelve years tho avcrago cost of education per child was $31.10, for the last six years tho cost has been $26.72. This Is an averago saving of $4.38 a year for each child in at tendance; $4.38, multiplied by 13,735, tho average number ot children In attendance for tho last six years, shows a saving for each of tho six years of $60,169, and for tho six years, $360,954. I believe If the city council should mako such a showing, saving moro than $60,000 a year, moro than $360,060 In tho last six years, it would nt once be called "splen- nace to an attack unon tho Board of Edu-' did financiering.1 cation, tholr employes and tho manage- Neither Is tho expenso ot education high mcnt of tho schools. Mr. Rosewater wants in Omaha In comparison with similar cities, publicity nnd criticises doing work by com- This Is shown by the following figures, ralttccs. All bodies llko tho board must showing cost of education for each child do much of their work through committees, for tt. year In ten different cities: Reduced HOMESEEKERS' EXCURSIONS Tuesdays nv. Winter Tourist Rates To points south, southeast nnd southwest on stile daily. C'lTV OKI'Il'HS, S, E, Cor. 14th and Douglas Sts, Tho city council does so, as do all similar bodies. Theso committee, meetings aro not secret, other members of tho board and citi zens who wish to so do may attend them. No money Is over paid out by tho board without an open recorded vote nnd any citizen may know how any member votes on any such question at any tlmo. All bills aro read aloud In open board beforo being voted on and tiny newspaper might publish a full and Itemized list of thorn next day. Tho present board has gone further In open dealing with tho public than any Omaha board ever did. It has by rulo provided that In filling vacancies In Its membership oto shall bo by roll call, each member an nouncing tho name of tho person for whom ho votes. Previous boards havo done this by secret ballot. If tho republican candidates havo been pledged to do away, It elected, with all secret balloting In tho business ot tho board thcro Is ono objection to this It Is against tho stato law. The statute pro vides that "the election of tho officers ot tho board, superintendent, secretary, teach ers and Janitors shall bo by ballot." Tho' board uses no "star chamber meth ods," but publishes annually a full report of all Its financial nnd other doings which any citizen may got and study It ho cares to.

Omaha does. Kansas City has much denser population than Omaha nearly twice as many people to tho squaro mile. Four of tho cities, Including Omaha, are between $26 and $27. Mr. Rosowater criticises tho salary paid ' to tho superintendent ot instruction. Mr. Marblo received tho samo salary, $3,600 a year. Mr. Marble's predecessor received $4,000 a year. Tho following table, giving tho nuperlntondcnt's salary and tho num ber ot teachers to bo supervised will show how unjust his attack Is: DECEPTION. When the conjurer shows an empty bat, and at once begins to extract from it rab bits or cabbages, we know that we have been adroitly deceived, because we know wc can't get out anything that isn't in it. If people would only reason in that way aooui medi cines they would be a great deal better oil in health and pock et. A number of so called "blood 'making" and "flesh lormtng"' "tonic" modi cinea are only stimulants in dis guise. You can't get strength out of a stimulant be cause strength is not in it. All physical strength is derived from food digested and assimilated and in the form of blood nourishing the entire body. Doctor Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery does not make blood or make strength, no medicine can do that. But it does cure diseases of the stomach and its allied or gans, and so causing the perfect, diges tion and assimilation of food, it enables the building of the body in sound and vigorous health. "I can ay to you one bottle of your 'Golden Medical Discovery 1 tua cured me sound and well, after sufferlni; two loug years with atom ach dUeate," write W.'II.

Twelvo years ago supervision cost In the schools $12.73 por each teacher and 39.5 cents for each pupil; last year super vision cpst $3.57 for each teacher and 24.2 cents tor each pupil. Mr. Rosowater objects that $15 has been allowed tho superintendent of buildings for expense of keeping a horse Ten or twelve years ago the superintendent ot buildings got $150 a month, with $25 or $30 for tho expense of horso. Now ho gets $150 a month and $15 for expenso ot horse. Tho superintendent of buildings has often several squads ot mechanics to direct, ma terial to buy, bills to audit. Ho has gen ernl charge of all tho school buildings nnd grounds, which are valued at $1,763,413, and, considering tho responsible position, tho remoto location ot many ot tho school buildings and tho great saving ot time, when tho board allowed tho superintendent ot buildings $15 a month for furnishing n horse and buggy to bo used In this work, did only the just and reasonablo thing. Tho superintendent ot school buildings, If an Incompetent or careless man, can cost tho school district several times tho salary In losses which a capable man wilt prevent. It does not pay to have an Incompetent man In this place. Mr. Rosewater objects because last sum mer the superintendent's clerk and the sec retary's bookkeeper got on Incrcaso of $10 per month, making their salaries $80 per month. Years ngo these clerks received $70 and no protest was made. Now the work has Increased 60 per cent in these two offices, All expenses ot living have Increased, Wages of laborers and me chanics and nearly all classes of working people have increased. Why single out these two women bocauso they havo had for the work done a reasonable and merited Inorease in their wages? Tho city hall has dozens of "clerks' and "bookkeepers" and "stenographers" who get $75, $80, $S5, $90 and $93, up to $110 a month; very few, If any, ot them do moro or more responsible work than Is dono by tho two young women In theso two offices ot the Board of Educa tion. Tho samo may bo said ot tho clerk of tho High school principal. Instead ot "merely striking off a few notices" sho has a general lino of record nnd offlco work to do. Sho must bo reliable, courteous, capa ble nnd havo good Judgment. Her hours aro as regular and exacting ns in any ot tho business houses ot the city. Perhaps Mr. Rosewater docs not know that tho "girl stenographer" In tho oftlco of tho mayor receives from tho taxpayers of tho city tho sum of $100 a month. Mr. Rosewater attacks Mr. Scnter, tho High school librarian, who, ho says, draws the pay whllo tho assistant does tho work. Mr. Sentcr is responsible tor tho library and Its management and 'for tho 20,000 or 25,000 books which it contains. Ho puts in tlmo early In tbo morning, late at night, on Saturdays and during vacations. If ho wero to rccolvo mechanics' or even laborers' wages por hour ho would probably get quite a littlo moro than bo docs. Tho superintendent is criticised because his brother Is commandant of Cadets. About a year nnd a half ngo tho superintend nt and tho High school committee recommendol a young man ns teacher of science iq tho High school and commandant of cadets. Ha was elected by tho board. Just before school opened this young man resigned got a better position. Mr. A. S. Pearso ap piled tor tho place. Ho was tho only ono applying who was prepared to act as com mandant and also do tho teaching required. Ho presented tho best of testimonials. Ho had enlisted for tho Spanish wnr and was at Chlckamauga all summer with his reg iment, tho Second Nebraska, awaiting the order that should send them to Cuba. Tho young man's services wero satlsfac tory. This year the board in reducing tho number of tcachors In tho High school re tained him to net only as commandant of cadets. Ho docs not appear to bo paid too much. Two years ago, with a considerable smaller battalion, tho board paid $60 per month to havo this work done. When nn officer from tho regular army did this work tho board paid his traveling c'xpenscs of $20 a month and then had to uso $30 to $40 worth a month of tho tlmo of a rcgu'ar High school teacher to keep tho records, look after attendance, absence, excuses, dis cipline and tho battalion property. This work Is now all dono by tbo commandant of cadets. Mr. Rosewater says: "Among tho forty1 six teachers In tha High school there Is a very heavy sprinkling of sisters, cousins and aunts, not only of the members of tho board, but also of prominent railway offl clals." He might with just as much truth have said thcro is a very heavy sprinkling ot tho relatives of tho mechanics and labor ing men of tho town, of tho leading Jobbers manufacturers and capitalists. No public school system can bo found nnywhere In which daughters nnd sons of the best and as well as ot tho poorest families will not bo found employed. If theso pcoplo aro competent and get their places In tho reg ular and propor way no ono ought to bo barred, whether sho Is tho daughter of tho president of tho Missouri Paclflc railway or the daughter of tho man who mows the grass on Mr. Rosewatcr's lawn. Mr. Rcscwatcr, In his speech and In nn editorial since, mentions two young women, modest and capable, who aro teaching In tbs High school. Ono of theso Is tho daughter of tho genoral agent ot a book publishing house, a graduate ot tho Stato university and a successful teacher beforo coming hero. Mr. Rosewater charges that this girl was employed hero by Mr. Pcarae In return for favors extended by tho houso her father represents. Tho fact Is that sho was elected teacher In tho High school horo whllo Mr, Pearse was still superintendent ot tho schools in Beatrice and whllo Mr. Marb'o was In chargo of tho Omaha schools. Ths young woman is n successful teacher and has received only such Increases of salary as her success and length of service cntltlo all High school teachers to receive. Tho other young woman Is sister to tho 'owner of tho Evening News. She Is graduate of Cornell university, gradunt'ng with honor, and after graduation did spe cial research work there. She had success ful cxperlcnco as a teachor before coming to Omaha. A few years ago her broth. r came to tho city and Invested a good many thousand dollars In business horo. Ho ro moved 'his family to town and becamo a resident. His sister's homo was with him Sho was, then, an Omaha girl. This girl compiled with all tho rules of tho board presented her credentials and was elected a High school teacher. She was paid $80 a month, tho salary usually given to teachers of her preparation and experience. At the end of a yenr's service her work had been satisfactory and hor salary was Increased $10 a month, as is regularly dono la such cases. C. S. HAYWAUD. I.AnOR AND INDUSTRY.
