by filing a formal protest against the
Jurisdiction of the board to make any
assessment upon the property, but when

protest said he did not care to give them
At this time, hut made the protest In order
to make a record which might or might
rmt be used as the matter devploped. The
protest was orerruled, and he then objected
to any Increase In the assessment as made
by tha assessor In the Fourth ward of
Omaha. The assessment last ;-ear was
1100.008, and was reduced by the asmssor
to W.P91. Mr. Morsman said the amount
returned by the assessor la r.ot excessive
If the depreciation In the value of the
plant is considered, but It would not be
possible to replace the pmperty new for
six times that amount. He was asked by
Mr. Breen if the company did not show
at 'Lincoln last year that the value of Its
Omaha property was IJmn.oro, and Mr.
Morsman said that showing; was for the
purpose of fixing charges and rates and
not for the purpose of tsxatlon and It
Included a number of Items not properly
assessable, Including the Omaha proportion
of the value of the toll lines of tha com
pany, based upon the receipts from Omaha

renewed his explanation of the morning.
It developed in the hearing that the com
pany places a value of 1120KO cm Its real
estate holdings In Omaha, while the county
assessment Is on the basis of 7,000 cash
value.
John I Webster was successful in stav
' lng off the hearing upon the protest, against
tha assessment upon the street railway
company, as he objected to having a com
parison between assessments on personal
property and real estate. The objection
was sustained and the case dismissed. The
complainants renewed their complaint im
mediately, however, and the case will come
up for hearing Monday. Protest was also
filed against the Omaha Water company,
and that case was also set for Monday.

BLAME PARENTS AND CHURCH
Stetson Declares Tlsin EetpTDiibl for
Growing Iovnbord nation ' Children
SUNDAY SCHOOLS PROMOTE HOODtUMISM
emator Millar Aadrenaea CenelaJlac
feaaloa of Tranana taalaalppt Sam
naer School of nperlateaaaea
"There Is g;oo4 resson to bellevs that
insubordination In the schools is fxowlr.f
and apegfllni There are three causes:
Firat Tha parents have vacated the seat
of authority In the homes and It has been
taken ty the children.
"Second The church has ceased to do Its
work tn instilling reverence and veneration
In the minds of children. The Sunday
schools of today are responsible for much
of the hoodlumlsm on the part of children
of respectable parents.
"Third Parents do not want us to spank
their children. They are perfectly wlMna
for us to spank the children of others and
believe it may be a means of a race to them,
but they seriously object to our spanking
their children."
Btate Superintendent Stetaon of Maine
gave the foregoing answers during the
"question box" period of the concluding
sesnlon yesterday of the Transmlsals
slppl Summer School of Superintendence.
He urged that the teachers do their third
of the work of Instilling obedience In child
ren to the best of their ability, and en
deavor to bring about better conditions In
the homes and the church. Answering other
questions. Superintendent Stetson warned
the teachers not to be scared at unpleas
ant words, such as "fad." which might be
hurled at them. Vertical writing, though
not wholly approved by him. Is not a
"fad." In some schools the teaching of
patriotism I exaggerated, and the essen
tial Is lost In the form. Saluting the flag
at proper Intervals Is right, but he hoped
that battle plcturea, and pictures of battle
men, would be banished from the schools.
The best patriotism Is In promoting clean
homes and yards, and beautiful surround
ings In both the phyelclsl and moral sense
of the word.
ftemator Millar Talks.
Senator Millard mads the last of tbe busi

He said that from the papera he had
learned that Mr. Haller had, on Thursday,
given the talk which he Intended to make.
I'nder existing conditions. Senator Mil
lartf continued, the young man leaving
the grade schools or the High school met
with serious disappointment on seeking to
enter the business world. He consider.!
himself fitted for a clerical position, but In
the great majority of eaaes la not. and
Is obliged to begin with what might b
called menial labor, such as sealing en
velopes or running errands. When he ap
plies for work usually he Is told to make
a written application, snd his deficiencies
are at once apparent to the business man.
What the remedy is, Benator MllUrJ
continued, he could not Say, but certainly
there Is, or ahould be, a remedy for suatt
a condition.
