One element of every city ' credit on the
bond market consists of the amount of securi
ties outstanding. When a city like Omaha buys
its own bonds with sinking fund money, the
bonds should be cancelled and to that extent let
the reduction of the debt strengthen the mu
nicipal credit
Cost of Education.
A report Just out' from the Bureau of Edu
cation, under the Department of the Interior,
gives some interesting figures as to the prog
ress made during last year. The cost of educa
tion, as estimated by the bureau, for the year
was three-quarters of a billion. This statement
ia followed in the report by comparisons which
show the relation of this sum to other expendi
tures public and private, which method may be
ffecttve as impressing the public with the rela
tive proportions of the money eost of schools,
but does not give any basis for arriving at a
J-ist appreciation of the actual cost of our
schools or the value returned.
It is. of course; difficult to place a value on
the service of the schools, and yet it Is quite
reasonable to expect that the money be so ex
pended as to secure a proportionate return in
form of benefit to the country. It is not espe
cially important to know that the sum Is three
times what we paid for admissions to moving
picture shows, or one-third less than was spent
for alcoholic liquors. What would be of use for
critical comparison would be some details as to
how the money paid out for school purposes was
expended. It is fair to assume that the greater
part of it went to support the public schools
although the maintenance of normal schools
colleges and universities will take a consider
able sum. Americans have never been stingy
with their schools, but they would like the as
surance that these Institutions are accomplish
ing what Is expected of them.
It is set out In the report that JI.eoO.OOO
persons were enrolled in. the educational Institu
tions of the United States la 114; of these 19 -
000. 000 were in elementary schools. 1.374.000
in secondary schools. J 1 1.000 n colleges and
1. ulverslties. 100.000 in normal schools and 7.
000 in professional schools. The most signifi
cant item of increase reported is an attendance
at public hub schools 84,000 greater for I14
than for the previous year,

The Note to Germany.
The third American note to Oermany on the
subject of safety at sea for neutral travelers Is
firm and friendly, and sets out the position of
our government with' unmistakable directness.
Germany has hitherto evaded the main Amer
ican contention, setting up in Justification of its
submarine campaign the exigencies of the war.
This is squarely met by the presldrpt with this
fitatement:
I 'f a belligerent cannot retaliate against an
' enemy without Injuring- the live of neutrals a well
, r their property, humanity, a well as Justice an!
! a due regard for the dignity of neutral power,
i should dictate that the practice be discontinued. Jt
Iwrslsted In, It will under such circumstances consti
tute an unr.ardonahle offense against the sover
eignty of the nrutral nation affected.
It is the principle of freedom of the seas, a
fundamental and not an adaptable law, that sup
ports our contention. It does not matter that
modern methods of warfare could not have been
considered when, the existing conventions were
entered Into; a proper regard for the rights of
neutrals and of humanity demands' that these
rr.ethods be so adopted that noncombatants will
not suffer. Whstever retaliatory steps may be
taken against an enemy must have due regard
for the safety of those not directly involved In
the war. That submarine warfare can be so
carried on has been demonstrated by experience
since our original protest on the sinking of the
Lusltanla. Demand that Oermany disavow its
torpedoing or make compensation Is firmly re
newed, and the concluding sentence of the note
contains a warning that is not likely to go un
heeded. A more explicit statement of the American
position could hardly have been made. That
cur people will support the president in his
attitude Is not to be questioned.
y Txoros somriTn,
Muiio and the Multitude.
The crowds that filled the Auditorium dur
ing the presentation of the Saengerfest pro
grams form something of a sufficient answer to
the oft-repeated charge that Americans are lack
ing in appreciation of the finer things of life.
Music Is really popular in th's community, as it
Is in our country. , Our people have the same
yearning for the, truly artistic as have those of
countries older and, therefore, more completely
developed In matters of taste, for the impulse,
to music Is universal and not national. . Muslo
has been known in all times and among all
Taces. The difference Is only in degree. Amer
ica has made some notable contributions to tbe
wealth of music in the world, and la point of
appreciation has shown by its shower of golden
dollars that It dyJ not lag behind in recogni
tion of musical genius. And this comes from
the multitude rather than from the few. Our
ai tlstlo ideas may not be thoroughly crystallized,
but our Ideals have not suffered through this
cause. The success of the Saengerfest Is a
tribute to the popularity of music in Omaha as
veil as In America.
The Chaneine of the Face
Everyone knows that the face of every per
son Is constantly changing, and that these
changes depict not only physical development,
but also mental and moral metamorphosis. The
innocent look of the child becomes lined over
anew repeatedly as it grows older. The face
Is a palimpsest a parchment receiving succes
sive writings, one upon the other, reflecting the
character as it is molded beneath the surface.
This thought Is presented in a most graphlo
manner In a dialogue "dramatlo sketch" In the
current issue ot Berlbner's magazine. A famous
Italian painter, executing his masterpiece of
"The Last Supper" for the Milan cathedral,
lacks Just two flgurea for which he Is seeking
subjects. "The two faces which I cannot paint,"
as he explains, "because, search as I may, I can
not find two faces so contrasted that the one
shall convey to us the aspect of the divine, the
other of the vile. The one a mirror, as it were,
of heaven, the other the glass of hell Itself. Ten
years have I spent In this' fruitless quest" But
before leaving the cathedral after this outburst
he discovers a subject in one of the choir boys,
a young man eking out his earnings as a worker
In bronxe and gold by singing In the choir In
order to contribute to the support of his wid
owed mother.
Ten years later discloses the painter seeking
the one still missing face, and as a last resort
applying to the governor of the convict prison
in Naples for a view of the most hardened crim
inals under death sentonce, one ot whom proves
to be the long-sought model. The artist works
fast at his sketches during the night to beat the
hangman due In the morning, only to learn as
he Is making the final strokes that he had
painted the earns figure twice for the two fig
ures. To the suggestion that he can now finish
the masterpiece, he cries out: "Never now!
It Ood can finish the pictures He begins, my
picture shall be left forever unfinished."
The poetlo license of the tale does not de
tract from the force of Its lesson. The chang
ing of the face what different stories it can
tell. But If the face divine ean be transformed
Into the look of hell, who will deny that Us re
verse process Is also possible? Qood and bad
traits, worthy and wicked Impulses, struggle
constantly for the mastery In the Inner man.
There Is no good reason why the picture cannot
bocome more angelic with each new painting of
It. The changing of he face, or rather the
direction of the change, must be as much within
the control of Its owner as Is the maeterpleoe
within the control of the artist
Nebraska Ag-ain to the Fore.
Tou can't keep Nebraska down.' In arts ot
war or peace, In politics, agriculture, commerce
or Industry, In any of the things that go to make
up what Is good In our complex civilisation,
Nebraska will be found at the front The latest
triumph Is Just announced from the Navy de
partment to the effect that for the next year the
battleship Nebraska, built on the western coast,
will carry on Its forward funnel a big letter
"E" to denote Its supremacy in battleship engi
neering efficiency. Seventeen battleships wore
in the test, which extended over a year, and the
Nebraska Is so far ahead ot the others as to b
out of sight. Kansas Is far behind and the
rest are nowhere. This news wtn make glad
all hearts from the Missouri to the Colorado
Wyoming border, and every Nebraska heart will
beat a little stronger because it is so. If you
want to find Nebraska's position, look at the
head of the procession.
Tina HORROR of ths excursion steamer traredy
over In Chicago Is, of course, not comparable in
lor of life to what haver come to be every-day
occurrences In war-stricken EWrope, but the nearness
brings It home to ua with much sreater force. Wn-it
a sudden fatality means to the friends and families of
the victim Is keenly realized In that small circle, but
a wholesale drowning like thla multiplies the calamity
a thousand-fold. We have had disasters In Omaha, o
sffectlns Omaha people, but nothing on thla stupen
dous scale. Our tornado two years ago. In numlior
of people killed, yet totaling less than l.V. was the
worat of these experiences. The Logan wreck, which
concluded the plcnlo of tha Union Pacific shopmen
and their families almost twenty years ago, In a way
closely resembled thla latest mishap except that It
came at the close of a gala day Instead of at Its
beginning, and the number of casualties was relatively
small.
I happened to havs been over In Chicago at the
time of the picnic, returning on a train that brought
me Into Omaha upon that awful Bunday ornlng.
The first word of the wreck broke on ua with the
newspapers picked up at Council Bluffs, but the full
Import of the affair came only when we emerged from
tha cars at the station on this aide of tha river. The
heartrending scene must have been Indelibly Im
pressed upon the mind of every one who witnessed It
for the station was crowded with a frenxied mob.
Hundreds of disheveled men, women and children had
pent a aleeplesa night there vainly waiting for the re
turn of their loved ones, and grasping at every scran
of news that filtered In from Ixgan. Most depresslna
of all, at the aide of the platform waa drawn up the
wagons from every undertaking establishment In
Omaha, and mattresses and cots had been set tip wait
ing for tha arrival of tha Injured. I questioned a
few people whom I knew, but they were too dated to
talk understandably. Trainmen said that the special
would aoon be In, and I waited around a little while,
soon discovering that the same hopeful Information
had been doled out to the weary waiters every few
minutes through the long night, and that it was the
suspense of momentary expectation, conatantly disap
pointed, from which they were suffering, as much aa
from their grtef and anrulah. I have no doubt that
the same sad experiences have now Just been repeated
In Chicago by the same quick spread of a funeral pall
ever a scene of Joyous gayety.
Apropos of the coming "Billy" Sunday engagement,
I have aynopsla of the report of the finances of the
B. Fay Mllla revival meetings that were held here In
1W9, promoted by the combined protestant churches
of Omaha. For that enterprise, which waa then re
garded as a colossal undertaking, the total amount ot
money received and dlaburaed by the treasurer, H. A.
Doud, was tJ.ai.ll, of which I2.001.7S came from the
pro rat contributions of the church organizations, and
the remainder from individual donations, a atreet rail
way bonus, sale of books, and rebate on hall rent
The advertising committee apent nearly $400, most of
which went for billboards, signs, posters hd cards,
and none of It for newspaper advertising. The hall
rent took $1,000, and the muslo committee spent $27. ol
which only $U5 waa paid to musicians. The accounts
of tha treasurer were audited by a committee consist
Ing of William Fleming. J. If. McCulloch and Warren
ewltiler. As there was no Item covering compensation
for the evangelist and his helpers, the presumption la
that they were taken care of through a thank offer.

meetings.
lt no one hereafter question the veracity of the
dally newapaper In anything It aaya appertaining t
the weather. Iter Is a scrupulously conscientious
parish paper which calls Itself "Church and Home"
chronicling last Sunday's hailstorm with the statement
that "many of tha stonea were aa large around as
base balls," and vouchsafing the additional Informa
tion that "our sexton reported that his boys caught
quite a number of small fish on the grass near their
home, evidently sucked up by the storm from some
nearby lake." XV jrou get that t '
tlt may he pertinent to note that the latest on
slaught of Colonel Roosevelt upon the song "I Didn't
Raise My Boy to Be a Boldler," ramifies back to tha
song written by Captain Jack Crawford, the poet scout,
one-time traveling correspondent for The Bee. and now
doing Chautauqua entertainment work In the east en
titled "My Mother Raised Her Boy to Be Soldier."
Captain Jack not long ago sent me a copy of hta words
and music, together with a newspaper Interview
valiantly defending his sentiment against that ex
pressed by the author of the answer, which It had
elicited from tha suffrage camp under the caption as
already stated. "I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a
Boldler." Captain Jack's song tells how his mothei
sent both his father and himself to battte for the
Stars snd fitrlpes during the war of tha rebellion. In
which the father was first wounded snd then lost his
life.

SECULAR SHOTS AT PULPIT.
New Totk Mail: The preacher who

nigh universal.
Brooklyn Kagle: Vnique., so far as we
know. Is the joint appeal of Roman Cath
olics and Frotestanta In Buffalo against
sectarian spirit In American politics. It
may seem to some minds an echo of the
last gubernatorial struggle in this state,
but really the conditions producing It
have appeared in local politics, and a
desire to make municipal government
better Is the chief motive of the clerical
and lay algners, who number fifty Cath
olics and fifty Protestants. The Cath
olic administrator of the diocese, one
state regent, the president of the Cham-U-r
of l.'unitmnn and three Protestant
ministers are on the list.
New Tork World: Tho Rev. Dr. AkeJ,

manufacture and sale by Americans of
munitions of war. Is the same Rev. Dr.
Aked who only a few years ago, on as
suming citizenship In the United States,
remarked that the atmosphere of the old
world was too oppressive for him. Per
haps it may not be amiss to remind the
gentleman that one reason why the air
of the Western hemisphere Is Invigorating
to most people is to be found in the fact
that Its Inhabitants forego none of their
own rights and do not very often at
tempt to deprive other people ot theirs.

Were half the wealth bestowed on
camps and ooixrts.
Given to redeem the human mtad from

abhorred I
And every nation thaS should lift again
Its hand against a brother, on Its fore
head Would wear for evermore ths oorse of
Cain.
Down the dark future, throosh Ions? gen

then cease;
And like a bell, with solemn sweet vibra

But beautiful as songs of the Immortals
The holy melodies of love sriss.
