Governor Morehead's veto . of the Water board eleotrlo lighting bill, we take It, coming at this stage of the procedure, puts the finishing touch on the present measure. The Bee has already made plata its position with reference to this Mil 'by pointing out the weak spots, and advising amendment to cure pal pable defects-. We tod Just what la our Judg ment the essential amendments should - be, namely, a complete divorcement of every mu nicipally owned public utility from politic, and condemnation powers la addition to authority. to construct. Instead of -mating these neces sary amendments, the sponsors undertook to save the bill by a purchase proviso 'by the die- credited three-appraiser, plan which had proved so eostly to the taxpayers la the acquisition of the water works, ' , , ,.. Aa the, governor emphasizes, municipal own ership is not Involved so long as the city has the right to go iato the lighting business, and to buy, condemn or build as it sees fit, .but, imirte him, Svs are not sollcitlous about the electric lighting company, which Is doubtless able to look after its own Interests. The real Justification of the veto lies la' the protection it .give the people of Omaha agalnat being put at the mercy of the electria lighting company by the dangerous three-appraiser scheme. After the War. Industrial experts are already looking ahead to what will happen after the war. The con census of opinion among the technical leaders Is that the cessation of hostilities will be Immedi ately followed in the United States by the re sumption of activity oa many enterprises that have been suspended or postponed, and that this will bring an unprecedented demand for men' and money The restoration of Europe will pro vide occupation for the men of Its disbanded armlea,, but where the capital to finance that stupendous task is coming from Is the question. America will offer far, tha more attractive field for Investment, because of the stability of Its government and the; perpetuity of the-security offered. Points Involved la this problem are being carefully considered, so thst, while the United States' may be unprepared for war. It will not be found unready for the greatest cam paign' of Industrial activity the world has ever witnessed. i i Beitorinf; Coafideace, Reports from national bank examiners, made to the Treasury department are taken as basis for assertions that business is oa the upgrade again la the United 8tates. This news ought to be most welcome, and would be of great help were It not accompanied by the statement that the demand for money is still light, showing thst little extension of enterprise Is under way. Ne braska is one. of the most prosperous states la the most prosperous lection of the country, ac cording to the reports, and on this fact Its peo ple are to be congratulated. The Inquiry and lte report are apparently part of efforts now being made by the adminis tration to Offset the effects of lte "reform" measures, which disturbed business more than did the war. The people of the country earaeeUy wish tor the restoration of business conditions that prevailed under republican poli cies. The true revival of commercial and Indus trial activity la the United Qtatea will come only whea the sdmlntstratioa at Washington Is put back on a sound basis.

Th two dlstlngulahed leader of th tnlfhtleat hoets Of th world sat quietly In their saddles, discussing tha paat, preaant and foUure, In free and eery off-hand con versation.

Much of their con versation, ef course, was privet and unheard. But enough was gleaned to know that tie acknowledged himself completely beaten, th powar or th Southern Confederacy utterly destroyed and any further promulgation of the war a useiesa effusion of blood. The opinion was universal among rebel or fleers that Johnston would surrender t Unarms without a battle on hearing that th Army of Northern Virginia bad done ao to General Grant "Shortly before 11 o'clock the Interview between th generals ended by tie saluting and riding slowly down the slope, aoross th hollow and Into th camp on the hill beyond. General Grant turned th head of hla thoroughbred Clnclnnatua toward the . court house, followed by his staff and a long retinue of general officer. "Within half an hour thereafter the officers desig nated by General Grant to carry out the stipulations of surrender arrived and were accompanied by a large number of noted rebel office ra. Th large ver anda and yard In front was soon filled with, groups of union and rebel officers in earnest conversation. Halt th.

Almost the first Question from rebel efflosr were, fWeQ, what are you going to do with ur ; . 1. - . . "Th belief seemed widespread among Intelligent officers that th UaitoA States government had pledged ltaalf to grant no amaeetJe for the offense' of treason and that they must "ell hank together er haag separately.' On learning that General Grant had taften no advantage ef their neceaelUae and dos perate situation, but had voluntarily extended to them the same magnanimous term Offerad two days before and refused by General Lee, they expressed them selves exceedingly gratified, Plsousslon of the mat ter among themselves teemed to greatly strengthen this . feeling. All admttted that their army had no further powar of resistance and that It waa compelled to surrender on our own terms.' They appeared. sur prised to find no exhibition of vtndlctlveneej on our part. Judging of their hearty concessions of generals and liberal treatment by us, one would conclude they eipected to have been chained together aa felona to grao th triumphal march cf our vtotortoua general. "At first soma may be Inclined to think' General Grant not sufficiently exacting. But no one who wit nessed the behavior of the rebel officer and listened to their conversation oa the subject, could long doubt the wisdom of his policy.

"Knott Ahltt Faddte." I wish to stale emphatically that ever since I was first elected a member of the school hoard at lAnooln, many years ago, I have per sonally been opposed, to tads nor am t the. only member of the prerent Omaha school board who is "not a bit faddy." I fully agree With those who bold that the necessity of a High School of Com merce, as at present operated. Is at least, debatable. I fear that much time Is being wasted by being devoted to the mere study of stenography, typewriting, book keeping and telegraphy, which ought to be devoted to atudiea vt broader cultural scope, I confess thst I have not had time to look into faote In detail, but that la my present impreaslon, I have not hesi tated to Indicate my opinion to my eel- leagues of the Board of Education and to Superintendent Graff. I had a long Inter view with M. Graff about two weeks ago and 1 have a letter wherein he put him self on record in part aa follows: An Ideal plan for the solution of the prem-nt difficulties would be to erect a building adjacent to the Central High sohool for the purpose of accommodating the commercial department Such a tniildlna- should Be large enough to take care of the manual training department of the Central Iilgtk school or else two "buildlne should be erected one for each department. The manual training at pres ent Is unaaustaotoriir nousea ana can not be provided for In a building of a type or the central mgn scnooi. , The advantages of this plan are ob vious: First It would entrails tlw man agement and reduce overhead expenses to a minimum, Beoona, it wouia avoios AuoUcatlon of courses and duplication of) equipment Third, It would enable any hlsth school pupil to take any of the varl- out line or work orrered wunoui oonnn ing hun rlxldly to a alngle department jfrior to tteptemDor, ivis, oommerouu in struction was given at tha Centre; High sohool la the earn way aa there existed and "English" oourse and a "olaaelcai" course. That a commercial cburs as one branch of regular high school work may be necesary and perfectly Justifiable Is possibly true, er, to put it In another way, thore aye probably many children in a city like Omaha whose parents might insist on some fundamental training along "commercial" lines at public ex pense. But they should not be permitted te "bulge" In that direction to th neg lect of studies promoting general cul ture. That the money required for a building to "house" the pupils now prowded into the lavenworth street school and a lot of wholly unfit store rooms In that vicinity should be separately voted on I do not concur in. unless the young men and women now thus Im properly houssd must be wholly elimin ated ' from enrollment as pupils of our public school system. ' ' I do 'not think that the question of en additional building, absolutely and un avoidably needed, and which it Is pro posed to erect upon or Immediately ad jacent to the Central' High school cam pus, has anything to do with the ques tion of the status which commercial or vocational' eduoation- shall hereafter of cupy In our educational system. ". Mr. Graffs letter, concurring with my own general Idea, that the couple, "divorced" three years ago when the Commercial High waa estaMlshsd as a separate and Independent entity, shall be "reunited" in some form upon or adjacent . to the Central High school campus, and th impossibility of crowding any part of th present M0 students enrolled In th Commercial High Into th present Cen. tral High sohool building, ought to be sufflolent reason for the expenditure of the necessary money to erect the addl dlttonal building needed, upon or adja cent to the Central High campus. Th people of this city ow It to th children now In the- publlo schools ot "Greater Omaha" to vote that million dollars of bonds, not a dollar of which, I think I oan asure them, will be wasted on "fads." p.

Tou have it that I said. "Havs -the charter so amended that the two addi tional rommlsstortere would be elected on th 4th day of May." What I did aay was, "Hare th charter so, amended that the tw additional commissioners would be elected for a term that would expire at th sent time ee the terms ef th oem raisaloners who will be elected on the 4th day of May." By giving th newly added district to Omaha two city commissioners w could have about the asm proportion as now slats In Omaha proper.
