Clemency for Frank.
Eicepting Georgia, where opinion It ad
mtttedly divided, lha action of Governor 81aton, j
saving Leo M. Frank from ih death penalty
and making his sentence life Imprisonment, un
questionably command popular approval
throughout the country, which hat been
nt'rred by few criminal caaea a It baa by thl.
Regardlest of the facts, though the Innocence
of Frank eeema thoroughly establlthed. the uni
versal verdict hag been that his conviction wu
brought about by the preaaure of prejudice and
excitement and that he did not have the fair
trial to which he wat entitled. All that wm
asked for him In all the legal proceedings con
nected with hit appeals to higher courts waa to
have another trltl ordered, and the petition for
clemency was only a last retort.
If Frank It an Innocent victim of circum
stantial evidence and class hatred, then, of
courte, life Imprisonment It an awful fate. Com
mutation of eentence, however, glvee time for
the true Inwardnett to develop, and it goes with
out laying that proof that the murder wae com
mitted by another would, whenever produced,
open the doors and tet Frank free.
Those of our readers who Joined with Tha
Bee In petitioning Governor Slaton in Frank't
behalf mutt thare the satisfaction that, to this
extent, the effort has not been unavailing.

Neither Bedan day nor Waterloo centennial.
It teems, possessed the charm.
And yet there eeema to be a quettlon how
long Mr. Bryan will ttay dead this time.
It must have takon some smooth work to do
the government out of 127,000,000 ot oleo
taxes.
The Irrigation problem can take a thirty-
day layoff without endangering Its standing in
oratorical society. ,
Governor Blaton'a real recompense will be
the satisfaction that comet from a conscientious
performance of duty.
In appointing a public defender who was
backing another for the Job, the governor surely
put him on the defensive.
No doubt the honorable court took Into ac
count the Impossibility of splitting a cant to
give the railroad half of It.
Nebraska's semi-centennial of statehood Is
scarcely twenty months off. If It Is to be prop
erly celebrated, the plans must soon be laid.'
Colonel Bryan could not agree with the
president he made. Naturally ha disagrees with
all the exes' who kept him out of the White
House.
Aimed at Omaha
Beatrice Espress: The announcement that Oraln
Is ahortly to become the chief atatlon of the weather
bureau service wae followed by cloudburata through
out the state. It thla Is to be one of the reenlts f
the change, the quicker the bureau returned to
Fort Weather. Virginia, the more satisfactory It will
ha to the people of Nebraska.
HantinM Tribune: The Omaha Bee warns eastern
millionaires not to come to Nebraska's metropolis and
attempt to play rowboy. What, can It be that theae
eaaterners haven't heard of Mayor Jim? Why, we
thought everybody knew him he can do all the cow
boy stunts that are necessary to entertain the people
of Omaha,
The Nebraska Two-Cent Eate Caie.
In Its decision on the 2-cent passenger rate
case, the supreme court of Nebraska lays down
the rule that the power of the State Railway
commission doet not extend to nullifying maxi
mum rates specifically fixed by the legislature.
In thlt case the legislature had substituted 2
cents aa the maximum for the 3-cent rate estab
lished and maintained by law for years and tha
court holds that It is without the scope ot the
commission to raise this rate. The court also
eaya that where a law has been enacted gov
erning a specific point, and later a general law
1 passed dealing with the subject, the provi
sions of the special law must apply to its par
ticular point.
Thlt ruling makes it clear that the legit
loture It the only place to which the ratlroadt
may go for permission to increase intrastate
raasenger rates. The decision also more plainly
deflnee the powers of the commission, and thus
should enable It to approach Its business more
confidently.
Albion Arus: The Arua gtvea pct to an edi
torial Uken from The Omaha Bee that fairly expreaaca
the aenUmenia of the partisan republican preas of the
country. The Bee la stalwart republican, but It apeske
I wordf of wls.tom and loyalty to our government. It
! expreaaea the sentiments of e-Preeldent Taft and
j other great men. Apparently ea-Preeldent Rooeevelt
I and some other thoushtleaa agitators would argue the
caae flrat. and support the president afterward. They
make the hard task of the president etlll harder and
are doing much the aame kind of work that the rebel
sympathisers did during the civil war to embarrass
Preeldent Uncoln. It la comforting to know that
while we etrenuoualy disagree about domestl adminis
tration and domeatlc policies, loyal Americans hasten
to offer themselves upon the altar of their country
and aacriflce their personal ambitions, personal, wlahas,
personal theories, their property and even their lives
for the good ot their beloved country In so doing they
obey the doctrine of the lowly Neinrine who said,
"It Is more bleseed to give than to receive."
Norfolk Newa: They arretted a man In Omaha for
doing nothing more than shoot up all the prominent
hotels In town. Gosh, but Omaha Is getting fussy.
Kearney Hub: Tne newspapers are giving the
Omaha Board of Education some well deserved pub
Hetty in connection with Its orders relative to the
teaching of American history. The course of study
provides for It, and the student la required to study
It "unless excused by the principal of the high school."
Commenting on this absurdity a cltlsens of Omaha in
a letter to The Bee says: "My children are not yet
of high school age, but I certainly will have them
take American history and shall deem It a disgrace
If they do not have brains and patriotism enough to
at leant obtain a passing mark. This age Is becoming
shambling, wlshywashy and unpatriotic. What we
need on the school board Is strenuous patriotic men.
who will consider the atudy of their own country ono
ot the most Important a atudent can take." The mat
ter is well worth looking Into In the public schools
throughout the country generally to ascertain ho
many schools are neglecting the most Important study
in the curriculum.
With Whom Would We Oo to War?
Our militarists are busy again, thowing how
nr. ready we are tor war. Our culpable neglect
In falling to provide for arms and ammunition,
and fortresses and the like. It again being re
viewed, and the administration of the nation's
affalrt (t aeriously criticised because nowhere
In Itt program for many years hag appeared de
tailed plant for a large army and a larger navy.
All these, charges are well founded. The
United States Is unprepared, to ngage In war
on the ttupendout teale now being exhibited in
Europe. We have ten million young men who
would make splendid soldiers, and who would
die like heroes In the trenches, and elsewhere,
but we haven't the ten million rlflet to put Into
their. hands. .. Wherefore we should go to mak
ing rlfl.ee Immediately.
Why not determine with which nation we
are to go to war, and then make our plant ac
cordingly. A century of peace ' with Great
Britain may well be followed by another. The
traditional friendship with the other great pow
ers it not likely to he broken aoon. We Have
no really good reaton to look for war anywhere,
but if we are to get Into the war game, left do
I; right. We should pick our foe, or victim,
end get ready to conquer that particular nation.
With whom will we go to war?

The World-Herald quotes one of Itt Bouth
Omaha frlenda at laying, "I am surprised that

Beatrice Express; Commenting on newspaper re
ports of robberies In the city of Omaha In which valu
able diamonds are given as among articles mlailng.
the Douglas county assessor asserts that the reporters
have evidently made some error, as the schedules re
turned by the parties mentioned In the robberies show
that they were not the possessors or diamonds or
any other articles) of Jewelry. The Douglas county
official Is entirely too discerning to hold office long
In Nebraska's metropolis.
Norfolk Press: The Omaha Board of Education,
finding the study of American history too difficult for
some of the mollycoddles taking the high school coutse,
"kindly" dropped the same from the curriculum, uut

OMAHA. June il. To the Editor of The
Bee: Now that one life already baa been
unneceaeartly snuffed out at Carter lake
by drowning. I would like to offer a few
suggestions.
The city now hss one lawsuit In the
ourts on ecrount of a boy being drowned
at one of the etr perk, and there will
be many more such lawsuits It the city
commissioners do not hire expert lire
siarrts to protect the bathers St the
beaches.
I sm a swimming instructor and have
taught life saving to a vry great extent
both here and In Chicago, and I am posi
tive that the last drowning at Carter lake
could have been averted had the life
guard been an expert, as he should be.
Any person familiar with the swimming
game knows that It Is a very easy mat
ter to break any hold that a drowning
person may secure on a swimmer. I have
had experience In the Missouri river with
drowning people, and I know how a
cli owning person acts. It Is not a very
difficult matter for an experienced man
to rescue the most excited strong people
from drowning.
The city commissioners should not hire
a man tor thla life guard work unless
he can pass an examination which shows
him to be competent. Such an examina
tion Is required In all large cities. This
test should lncludethat applicant be re
quired to show breaks for at least three
holds in the water, five holds on land,
abow methods for towing a man both
struggling and unconscious, demonstrate
methods of resuscitation, and he should
be able to swim at least one mile.
I hope the city commissioners will act
on my suggestions. G. P. W.

The Travelers' Protective association, which
haa Just closed a successful annual convention
In Omaha. Is one of the smaller organizations in
the assessment insurance field. It la neces
sarily to because Itt membership Is limited to a
tingle occupation regarded at harardous, yet it
has reached a membership of 61,000 in a quar
ter of a century. Itt growth and widening benef
icence It typical of the American spirit which
finds expression In safeguarding self and de
pendents from the pinch of accidents as well as
the uncertainties of life.
No nation In the world comes within balling
distance of the United States In the forehanded-
noss of Itt people In this regard. Life and acci
dent Insurance policies in force in this country
on the first of the year totaled. In round num
bers, 140,000,000,000. Of this enormous total
600 aatetsment companies and orders, with a
membership of 9,000,000, had outstanding 110,
000,000,000; reserve life Insurance companies,
1110,664,00,000, and the balance In accident,
health and vorkmen't liability Inturanre.
During the past year the various life Insur
ance organisations, old line and assessment, dis
tributed lr- the United States and Canada $686.
100,000 in claims and benetltt, an Increase of
$40,ir.0,000 over the disbursements of 1913.
The payments were nearly equal to the total
disbursements, exclusive of the PostoffUe de
partment, by the United States government dur
ing the fiscal year of 114 for the civil, war and
iii.vy establishments, Indian service and Interest
m the public debt.
Great Britain, France and Germany barely
equal one-third of the life Insurance la force In
the United States, and these nations with the
rest of the world added carry less than one-bait
the North American total.
The Immensity of the buCness Is more than
a tribute to the thrlftlness of the Insured.

Not all of the good negro stories come from the
south. For instance, there Is the one told by John
Boucher, jr., now ot Omaha, though formerly ot these
parts, whe haa been visiting his brother-in-law,
"Heathen", Wood, n Louisville recently. John waa a
newspaper man once, but he is preaching now.
He says there Is an old darky In Omaha who,
strange as It may seem to that latitude, never, was a
slave. The old man does odd Joba of hauling, for
which purpose he uees a gigantic mule of tremendous
strength and equal deliberation and determination.
One day John asked the old man. the mule's name.
"Dat mule am name Co'poratlon," waa the answer.
"What on earth ever made you give it such a
name as that?" John asked.
"Jea' cause dat am de nachal nam' fo' 1m," aald
the old man. "Dat ar mule It kin stan' mo' 'buae

' A young business man, who haa been married but

student for some time.
"And I've prepsred the whole dinner tonight!" she
added gayly.
When they were seated st the table, and the young
man was endeavoring to masticate a particularly tougii

OMAHA, June JO. To the Editor ot
The Bee: Elbert Hubbard used to say,
"Better not know so much aa to know
so much that ain't so." 1 wish to extend
this with this: "Better for your ma
terial wellbeing not te know so much
when you are disposed to allow others the
economic benefit of your knowledge."
Tour moral wellbeing la another Question.
I am In a certain manufacturing busi
ness. A prospective customer came with
a lob of work to be done, asking If I
could do it. I said. "Yes, I can. but X
don't want to do It." Asked he, "Why
not?" Said I, "Because I know a way
In which you can get that for nothing."
Then I told blm what I knew. He thanked
m very cordially and got It.
Plainly, by knowing too much about
the business, like the parrot, I got It In
the neck.
Now, according to "business ethice,"
should I have done this? Well, If there
Is such a thing as buelnees ethics, es
distinct from any other ethics, I should
have done It For ethice Is ethice what
ever the qualifying adjective. . However,
it Is hardly the business practice.
In business prewtlce, eo far aa Immedi
ate economic benefits go, it one has toe
strict a conception of fair play, it la not
well for him to know too muub, even
about hla own business. Tet for htm to
remain deliberately ignorant of these
facts, on account of tha eoonomle effect
upon himself, he also violates hla con
science.
The fact te that all disseminators ot
knowledge receive the least returns tf
Indeed they do not actually loee what
they have. - Some years ago the funny
papers ran a good series entitled, "Pro
feasor Nix." Why they discontinued. T I
up, for they were really clever. I
recall that one day he was wanderlnc
aloruv and saw some boys trying te roll a
heavy barrel toward a slide Into a base
ment. He said, "Ah, my little friends,
let me show you vot It Ise van tt lss a
scientific" So be took a lever and pla
cing a fulcrum under one end, showed
them how easy It waa te pry under the
barrel and roll it with little effort. He
sent It spinning down the chut to the
great delight of the boys, who took to
flight. Last scene of all. however, was
when the workmen, whe had Just toil
somely succeeded In getting the heavy
barrel to the sidewalk, were using "Prof.
Nix" ss a street mop. "Ain't It the
truth" that a little knowledge Is a dan
gerous thing?
It Is the aame If you have Ideals. All
Ideals are a disturbance to those who
seek to profit by things aa they are.
Those whe are profiting do not like to
have their profits disturbed. So resentful
are they ef those who Introduce Ideals
Into social or private life that they wtll
not hesitate utterly to ruin the business
of those who dare to disturb them. It
Is for this reason that the old Idea had
It that those whe have least of earth
have most of skies. This was the spir
itual consolation for doing one's duty
give up here that you might hold on
thei-e.
I make no complaint against this
seeming natural law. I believe I can
understand It Nature's God gives us
whatever we deelre, but there la a price
that we must pay for It. We cannot
gain even moral growth without earning
tbat achievement. We need not, how
ever. Imagine that the satisfaction Is
postponed to the "life In tbe skies." The
reward is here and now. Tbe peace that
conies from day to day In the knowledge
that one has done hie best to be true Is
compensation quite enough.. No material
gain can take Its place. I should never
have felt satisfied to take my customer's
money tor a service wnicn I knew h
could get for nothing. Though he did
not know It I did. and that waa quite
sufficient. Though It may cost money to
hold to Ideals, I would not part with
those poor ones I have. "No. not for
Venice"
So, whatever the coat, stick to your
Ideals. NAMELESS.
