No Improvement in Mexico.
The American Red Cross makes report that
It cannot afford relief to the starving people of
Mexico because of the operations of the "armies''
In that country. Neither Carrania nor Villa
phowg the licbtest concern for hi suffering
follow countrymon. They have given but Blight
attention to the appeal from President W.lson
that they pet together, which was accompanied
by a warning that aomethlng might be done
from the outside to tranquility Mexico If the
warring factions failed to "(free on plans to
establish a responsible government.
It Is quite easy to understand why Villa, who
la Just now on the loser's end, might seek to
provoke Intervention, but why should Carrania
risk this danger to his designs? It has been
rumored that Carranr.a ! represented by nu
Omaha man as his hired press agent, and that
the latter Is trying to make the path to White
House favor easy for the "first chief." What
ever foundation this report may have seed not
be seriously considered at this time. The fact
Is that conditions in Mexico are not Improved,
but seem to be worse, if anything, and the time
for a definite policy In Mexican matters cannot
be long deferred.
Some day In tha more or less dim and dis
tant future Omaha will have municipal civil
service whereby city employes who have only
technical or clerical work to perform will secure
and hold their Jobs solely on a merit basis.

Aimed at Omaha
The Price of Progmi.
Omaha Is confronted with the biggest aggre
gate tag levy for tha coming year ever put upon
Us records. We are to have the biggest school
levy, the biggest city levy and the biggest water
district levy ever made. The ostensible reason
(or this spurt in the tax rate is the achieve
ment of flreater Omaha, because in anticipation
of merger Dundee and Bouth Omaha both
hastened to spend the larger part of a year's
revenues In six months, leaving the running ex
penses for the rest of the year to be made up
by a draft on the future.
We take It that this Is the price of progress,
and that If we are to have a city of approxi
mately 170,000 people we must pay the bills for
the expense of a municipal household upon that
scale. At the same time we believe we voice
the sentiment of the taxpayers In serving notice
on the officials of the various taxing bodies that
they must not take thla exceptional condition aa
a precedent for future operations. The fact
that we roust ralae thla tremendous amount of
money by taxes for the coming year must not be
permitted to lead us Into needlessly expensive
habits or to stop efforts to hold the public out
lays down to the lowest limit of economy com
patible with efficient service. While the price
of progress must be paid, it Is not necessary to
pry two prices.
Great Britain and the Cotton.
The British Board of Trade's ruling that
cotton now held by the British navy will be con
fiscated brings a more sorlous aspect to the
Question of neutral rights, pending between tha
United States and Or pat Britain. No dispute
exists as to the right of a belligerent to seise
contraband, or to confiscate material destined
to an enemy nation: That la an established ,1
point,' but what right has the British Board of
Trade to predetermine the destination of goods
shipped frojn one neutral country to another?
In tha case of the intercepted cargoes ot cotton,
aa of the meats, the consignees are at neutral
ports, and In order to make even a showing of
right to Interfere, the British authorities are
required to assume that the ultimate destination
of the goods held la to an enemy.
Perhaps It la true that Germany la obtaining
war supplies from the outside; ao are the Allies.
With this fact admitted, shipments from one
neutral to another still bear on their face ex
emptlon from seizure and confiscation. Deten
tion of neutral cargoes by Great Britain la ille
gal, regardleas ot the order In council, and thla
ta admitted by Premier Asfjulth, In effect,
(bough not in exact terms.
Strict pursuance ot the rule laid down by
the Board of Trade for dealing with detained
cotton rargoes will not aid the cause ot the
Allies. '
"Children Have Lota to Learn."
Our new supervisor of "systematized play"
says Omaha kiddies have lota to learn; ao also
have the teachers. Ills assistants report they
are having much trouble In teaching the chile
dren to play the games that are prescribed lu
the new code, which sets, up games with rulea
for the guidance of the youngsters. In daya
gone by the child wag allowed to get aa close to
feature as possible tn the summer time. 'Out
door play then took' on the expressive forma ot
primal Instincts, the natural impulse was the
guide and the untrammeled Imagination the in
aplration. It was good, healthy fun, even If It
were not "scientific" or "efficient." Now, the
lfprlng of civilised parents are to be "super
vised" In their play, and their bent to aavagory
is to be trained Into channels of order and dl
reeled effort. This may be good for the kids,
tut many a strong man will bless the fate that
delivered him from having his swimming hole
managed by a lady supervisor.
Under the New School Law.
Reports reaching the office ot the superin
tendent of public Instruction are to the effect
lliut Nebraska counties are rapidly reorganizing
their school districts under the new laws, passed
last lotr. In Buffalo county four new rural
high achool bulld'.nns are almost ready for the
beginning of the tall terms, and many districts
have been consolidated, ao as to make more
compact and solid divisions for school work.
One county Is reported to be proceeding so fast
on the work of consolidation as to necessitate a
halt being called.
That this' reform was needed has been'
parent for many years, but It took some time to
convince the lawmakers that Nebraska, while
at the front In the actual matter ot literacy, was
far behind lu the way of school organization
and administration. The new laws are ot the
final word on the topic, but they are a start ia
the right direction, and when their operation ia
better understood It will be possible to make
needed amendments to secure the best of results.
Nebraska has a splendid endowment for Its
achool system, and Its people have never bee'
clggardly In the matter of expenditure for edu
cational purposes, therefore it Is desirable that
Nebraska have the beat or schools, failure in
which can 'only be charged to the people them
selves, i
Blair Tribune: The Omaha tllRh achool has ui
omtneted hletnry and In so d' Ins; has found tlma
to put In a course In launrtry work. AVe. believe,
In vocational training, all rlht. but Just where to
top with thla line In a question that will have to I
settled some ftms In the not far dlntont future.
That the step taken by the Omaha, school hoard In
adopting this lart fad Is poms; too fsr. Is hard to say,
yet we would venture to wajrer that the average
mother would he mlxhty alad to Rive her durhtT
a few Iceenna along this line rlirht at horn. No
doubt, too, she could give her some vaJunble hints
that would, with a little practice, not only he of
benefit to her In after Ufa, but ali-o take away pnrt
of that backarhe that Is felt by the mother after a
hard day's wash. Try It. girls. Oft up eorly and

they have bean over tha 0-L-D route. Buch Insignifi
cant booming hurts In tho long run, a, fact which
Omaha ought to fully undeistajid.
Loup City Times-Independent: Btepa are being
taken to land the next democratic national convention
at Omaha nsst year. This would b some big stunt
for Omaha to pull off. but that town has got the
right make-up to poll it off In the beat of shape,
and we should surely be dwllghted to have It come
to tha g-reat elate of Nebraska.
Plalr Trll.uno: Jus Ptecher is the man of tho hour
and every paper Is loud in his praise. , That he Is a
wonder and has the atrength of a mule and the sun
plencsa of a wild cat there ran be no doubt, but of
all th fool comparisons that wa have yet noted Is
one recently mode In the Omaha Wor1s-llerald,
where It compared his athletic skill to the bralrt power
of W. J. Bryan. We have long known of the an
tipathy of the owner of th World-Herald to Mr
Bryan, but far him to allow an Intellect trained b
years of preparation and study to be brought down
to an accident of brawn and muscle endowed by nature
without the necessity of effort; well, to say th least.
It Is a Joke, an Insult to Intelligent people.
Columbus Telegram; In Omaha, Kearney and Hast
ings efforts are being made to compel school boards
nd city coune'ls to quit the "executive session habit
am not familiar with the crooked work alleged to
have been transacted In "executive sessions" In
Omaha, Kearney and Hastings, but I offer to the
vlotlme th suggestion that no city council nor board
of education has any Homes under the law to hold
any such thing as an "executive session," from which
any cltlien shall he excluded, and If the people of
those cltiss really desire to kill tha "executive ses
sion" crime they can do tt quickly with the oiu or
the law. Ask the court to compel your councils and
your school boards to transact business tn publlo,
and th court will Instantly tsll your puhllo servants
that their masters (the people) have a rl-ht to know
what the servants aro doing every hour and every
minute while transacting public business. If the pub-
11 servants shsll dsslr to go into "exacutiv session"
for the purpose 'of transacting private business that
will b their prerogative, but to bar th doors against
any oltisen while puhllo business la being considered
well, that sounds very much Ilk the talk of tho
hired girl whose mistress found th maid In "ex
ecutive session" with her husbapi.

BENSON, Neb., July II. To the Editor
of Th Bee: I have read at various times
statsments made by street car offMals
saying they ars losing money on thalr
longer tines, always Including the Bon
son line.
This Is to be doubted, but assuming It
to be true, the loss could be turned Into
a gain If th company would make a bid
for nickels of patrons who are not abso
lutely obliged to use th uncomfortable,
unsanitary and wholly out-of-date cars
which they furnish ua
The Benson housewife could profitably
do more of her shopping In Omaha, but
the thoughts ot a dlagrabt hour on
the car la ef larger consideration than
the 10-cent far.
If we were supplied with roomy cross
seats, there would he many a family
which would delight In a trolUy rid or
a trip to various Omaha points. A per
son would Indeed hav a distorted sense
of pleasure to enjoy these long seats
with Inooming and out-going passengers
tramping over their feet.
Is it any wonder tha conductor finds It
sn Impossible task to keep th rar plat
form clear, and plenty of room Inside,
during the rush hours?
There is none so blind as they who
won't see, and tha street car compsny
Is blind to the comfort of Its patrons,
consequently they are psylng dividends
with the nickels paid only by paasen
tera who are obliged t ride.
Of course th above suggestion will
hold no Interest to such characters a

How II Wnatd Teaoh the Child.
NORTH I.Ol'P, Neh., July -To the
Kdltor of Tha Bee: How would I teach
the child? This Is a subject of much dis
cussion past and present. The trouble
with modern education I that, we are
trying to place ancient and modern
methods together. The universities are
stale. They teach a lot of material in
sut h manner that on must stay In school
always to keep up. Those method close
th higher school to W per cent of the
people. The Ideal method Is to give th
pupil a proper training In th primary
eloments of education with a chano to
branch out into th more advanced, with
th advance of year. This cannot be
accomplished except by a well planned
and permanent eoursa of study.
But what should th ohild bs first
taught T Many may say letters and the
art of spelling and reading, but I think
not. I would not burden th child with
letters until the age of T or I. Education
should begin at a very early aa. I'
would begin with the classical and Instil
tha classical befor reaching tha prac
tical. Beproduce th words and music on ths
grsphopbone by ths best talent, and set
spsrt certain hours for th child to listen
to th musiu. Within a few months th
child will be able to sing th fifty songs,
which will bs ths start of it education.
I would also reproduce tha three principal
orations of history, on the graphophone,
In sections, for th child. Those orations
ar Cicero on Immortality, Cicero on
friendship and th address of Bocrat
to hi disciples after h had been con
demned to drink th fatal hemlock.
Th child will more readily grasp musla
and eloquanc than any ether subject.
Every man, woman, boy and girl should
b abl to repeat th throe most pro
found pieces of eloquence of profan
history. When w learn it. th grapho
phone will be first In school.

The Test of Christie) Scleac.
OMAHA, July tl.-To the Editor of Th
Bee: It Is a pleasure to undertak to
anawer "Bible Student." Inasmuch a a
scholar Is always Interested In logical
sequence and Is not avers to bresklng
away from Interpretations which hav
only ag to command them.
Hi premis occur last, tharafor w
will begin at tha bottom of th article
and read up. Premise: Adam's trans
gression brought sin and death Into th
world, thereby making necessary a re
deemer, and Mr. Kddy attempts to show
"that th Bible story of th fall of Adam
was a lie."
Now, if w shatter th premise. It ia
going to make trouble for th conclusion.
I It not Two and two make flv I a
lie, but th child who makes th mistake
la not a liar. That th blbl records th
II bout man reflects only upon us if we
f..l to grasp th significance of th
spiritual and material accounts of ere a.
tlon th true and the false the good and
tha evil.
Tha first chapter of Oenests and thre
verse of th cond glv the spiritual
account of oretln. "And Ootl (Elohlm)
aaw everything that He had made and
bthold It wa very good." 0n. 1:11. Then
follow th material account of creation.
In whioh th Lord Clod (Jehovah) makea
man from th dust of th ground. But
previously Etohim had created man In
ills own Image. Both aocount cannot be
true. A dust man Is not the Image and
likeness of Qod.
Mrs. Eddv did not discover th two a
counts of creation. Blbl student hav
always recognised them, but th theolo
gians unlawfully yoked them together
and hitched thoin to the gospels, and th
Blbl students looked on helplessly be
cause they did not know what to do
about it. Mra Eddy did. and It makes
her book. "Hclenu and Health" a key
to th Scriptures.
Let us read up on this and on th
art Me of "BIN Student ' to where he
quote from I John 4 1, "Try the spirits
whether they are of Omt." and. Inatoad of
going back to the fall of Adam, which
has nothing to do with the case, we will
accept the test Jesus made fr himself
when Joliu sent his meesengers to find
out whether he was Of Ood. and Jeaus
sent back word, "Tell John what things
ye have seen and heard; how that the
blind see, the lame walk, the Jeners an
cleansed, the deaf hear, tha dead a.i
raised, ti the poor the gospel Is
preached."
Christian Scientists accept this test In
Its unadulterated simplicity and prefer tt
to the labored movements of th theolo
gians of the middle ace.
