Those Eight Million Men in Buckram.
Some badly tangled figures purporting to
fchow an alarming proportion of aliens In this
country who rrfiis to assume the obligations of
our citizenship are going the rounds, and sre
l.plng accepted at fs.ee value as official. In the
Rtrrn Laborer, a locnl publication here de
voted to the Interests of wage-workers, these
figures, plainly quoted from another source,
take this form.
That Her at H.pn .fro able-bodied men In th
fnltrd states ho owa clle-ilance to Kurojean nations,

naturnltaat on bureau llrures showe d H.ono, 0 forelgn
born cltlirna In the co intry who have not acquired
cltlienah!p. The war has "ir.cted attention to th a
stngKcrlna- number tf mnn who come to the United
Htatfs and then refuse to become citizens.
Si ch a sittiatU n would indeed be "stagger
kg" if true, but that there is something wrong
vtlth the numbers somewhere is quickly discov
ered by any one seeking to verify them.
According to the last census and tho 1910
flrures, relatively speaking, hold good today
the total number of foreign born persons men,
women and children In the United States are
13,516,886. It Is therefore preposterous to say
that we have 14,000,000 foreign born persons
who have not acquired cltUenshlp.
The last census figures likewise show that
the total number of foreign born males over
twenty-one years of age In the United States is
6,646,817. It is therefore even more preposter
cur to say that there are 8,000,000 able-bodied
men in the United 8tates who owe allegiance to
European nations.
While statistics covering the number of for
eign born who have become naturalized are not
accessible to us, some light may be secured from
o comparison with the election returns. Here In
Nebraska the census gives us In round figures
350,000 male inhabitants of voting age, and the
highest vote cast is approximately 275.000,
which with the addition of the usual ten per
cent for the vote not polled would bring the
number of eligible to vote in this state well
above 300,000. If Nebraska is typical, then, it
would be not far out of the way to figure at most
fifteen per cent of those of voting age to be in
eligible to vote, and fifteen per cent for tbe
whole country would be less than 1,000,000. So
"the8, 000,000 able-bodied men in the United
States who owe allegiance to European nations"
must be for the most part merely 8,000,000 men
In buckram.
The Ballot and the People.
Senator Root's speech to the New York con
stitutional convention, In favor of the short bal
lot, will bring the subject prominently forward
for discussion again. His arraignment of "In
visible government" is strong and virile, but the
strongest argument for the short ballot does not
rest on that point alone: The fragmentary re
port of Senator Root's remarks, furnished for
the news columns, gives no mention of the real
reasons for removing a great many of the minor
offices of government from the elective to the
appointive classification. These reasons are nu
merous and potent, and are coming more and
more to be understood and accepted by students
of our political structure. The short ballot does
not mean taking tbe power away from the peo
ple, whose rule will be more absolute when it la
concentrated on the election of responsible ad
ministrative and executive officers. The Bee's
plea for tbe short ballot met with only partial
response in Nebraska, where the length of the
ballot has reached such proportions aa to be ri
diculous as well as to effectually prevent an In
telligent and discriminating exercise of the vot
er's choice. If New York should adopt the pro
posed reform It may encourage Nebraskans to
similar action.
Ak-Sar-Bea'i Growing; Greatness.
Some talk was heard last year about aban
doning Ak-Sar-llen. It had outlived its useful
ness, said the objectors; the Jovial ruler of
Oulvera had become passe and the people were
tired of him and wanted something new. The
answer to this la found this season la the
largest membership ever enrolled under the ban
ner of the king. The greatest crowds ever as
sembled at the Den are there each Monday
night, and more visitors by many thousands have
been entertained by the knights this summer
than ever before. Ak-8ar-Ben worn out? Never
In all his twenty-one years of active life has
Samson's mill for making boosters been so busy
nr. now. The spirit of Ak-Sar-Ben Is growlag
stronger Instead of waning, and the king waxes
more and more puissant as his prosperity in
creases and bis domain is extended. The In
rtltutlon of Ak-Sar-Ben has proved its useful
ness in ways too many to be readily enumerated,
and It will be a factor in the life of Nebraska
end Omaha for many years to come.
Notable Feat of Naval Engineering.
Bringing into dry dock the remains of sub
marine F-4 is another notable achievement of
the engineers of the United States navy. To do
this some new records had to be established,
ruch as the descent of a diver to the unheard-of
cUpth of 215 feet. Deep disappointment will be
filt that not one of the crew lost with the boat
has yet been found, and that the processes of
rescuing the hull have necessarily destroyed
much that would have been useful In deter
mining the cause of the disaster. Enough Is
there, though, to give the naval experts great
resistance tn their efforts to solve tbe problems
of undersea navigation, especially as to the dif
ficulties of proper construction, and future sub
marine sailors will have the advantage of pro
tection thus devised. For the public, the chief

On Folly of Extravagance
WtaniTred Cooler la afcHfeWs Marsala.
AT THE outaet we should realise that th Urns
"extravagance" la aucp.lole of va.ylng ue.iru
tlona. It la a sliding scale, depending upon time and
personal Income. W hat la extravagant for on peraon
manifestly la not extravagant for another. Again,
what Is extravagant In one time of our life. Is not In
another. The repiehennlblo part of modern ex
travagance, la that w puraue It so largely In order
to Impress other people. If a luxury Is really the ex
pression of (oraa vital need with ue, It may not be
an extravagance. Frequently a peraon will mak
many minor eacilflcea In order to aecura some ex.
pensive thing which teems to him th moat necessary
thing In the world. For Instance. atudenU of musli.
who believe that they p.sicss extraordinary talent,,
will nearly sta v for years. In order to pay enormous
prleea for bawna Trcse sums wuuld be extravagant
for most of ue, but are not so If th worker believes
that he Is fitting h mself for a career which will on
day bring him lame and fo tune.
Rut the LSe!cS' extravagance la that which Induces
tia to pay out btud sums becauae "every one is
doing It." We are cowards, In mortal terror of run
ning counter to conventional ty or not measuring up
to certain atindnrds set by other. On of th com
monest, yet most contemptible saylnna of which all
of tia moderns are guilty, la: "If I give a dinner, I
Insist on doing It right." The word "right" thua used,
baa no moral, significance whatever what w mean
Is, "If I give a dinner. I am going to do it In a cer
tain conventional manner, to prove to my guests that
I know how wealthy people entertain." Not to begin
a meal with oyatera on the half-shell, or eeA grape
fruit, or bouillon, would aigue that we were not ac
customed to the usages of good society. Peoplo, there
fore, In quit humble financial circumstances, agonize
over necenpary entertaining, serve multitudinous
courses, reduce their guests to a state of lethargy
solely to show that they known how wealthy peoplo
dine. Once In awhile, a wise, serene housekeeper
serves a simile, nutritious and delicious meal a juicy
beef atcak, or an appetizing salad, with a few ac
cessories, quite Indifferent to the fact that It Is not
done In tie best society. If her friends are discrimi
nating they rise up and call her bleasedl
One form of extravagance constats In weartna;
clothes that rre not approbate. It Is net extravasnnt
for a wealthy woman, who always rldee In her
limousine, to wear white suede ahoee or French-heeled
satin sllppe s, or shoes with Itjht cloth tops. It is a
manifest extravagance, for the working woman, ob
liged to wa k through muddy streets,' to Indulge tn
such impractical footgear. Yet, because thos who
set the fashions decree that . whit or champagne
colored gaiters are the latest mode, every shopgirl Is
miserable until she can purchase them! Tho result
to beholders is moat distressing, as the tight colors
sre usually stained and splashed with mud. Ther Is
nothing refined about dirty finery.
Rome people In our modern life (In small towns as
well as cities) honestly believe that they are not ex
travagant, because they cannot conceive of any way
by which they can possibly economise. Men and
women Imagine many vain thlnKS which they take for
gospel truth. They orten say: "It always pays to
purchase good things." In one sense, this Is true. A
good quality of material will outlast a shoddy, cheap
material. The extravagance or economy of a pur
chase may depend, however, on other things. If you
are one of th women of moderate Income who cast
aside a suit or a gown th moment the least change
of style has taken place, then It Is certainly not
economy to buy an expensive gown. One for a lower
pric will look aa well for a short season.
People In very moderate circumstances have
formed In th last few years, habits of entertaining at
publlo restaurants and cafes, because unwilling to glvo
a little thought and attention to meals In the home. In
many cases this Is a foolish extravagance. Th
temptation Is to order recklessly ana inaiecnminaieiy.
MnA ik. r ail manner of other necessary expendi
tures. Including th tipping of waiters. Th actual
materials for excellent rerresnmenia are eompmrmuveijr
h.n- it mv need that the housekeeper take the
trouble to cook them. , Of course there la much to b
said In behalf of th ease or entertaining in puonc.
It certainly Is not extravagant, when th woman glv
t luncheon or dinner Is a hard-worked professions!
or business woman, but thes ar not th women to
whom these remarks apply.
Tt boa tutcnm a. atandlna: loke that popl of
modest means In every village, town and city In Amer
ica, are mortgaging their homes, in oraer xo nav a
f annul sort. Undoubtedly It Is true that soma
famlllea maintain motor cars, who seem not able to
afford them; yet many cars are so inexpensive nowa
days, that their Initial cost Is not great, and th seem
ing extravagance may b justified Dy in oeneuia oi
th new outdoor life, f esh air, and normal pleasures
In which th entire family can participate. Th
of ri, deoenda largety on the Individual
circumstances, People living In th country take car
of It themselves, house It In a amau anea on mo
premises, and maintain It for almoat noth ng. In cities,
th cost of keeping a car at a garaffe Is very high;
this, many times, I th extravaganc.
Many ar the fallacies with which peopl comfort
themselves, and excuse running into debt. In Its last
analysis, extravagance la not only a matter of bad
judgment, of bad tasto, but of actual immorality. Hon
esty is ono of the foundation qualities of a sound
character. Extravaganc implies many times th
presence of such unlovely qualities as indolence, of
weak snobbery, of actual dishonesty.

Coaaty Road Improvement.
NOHTH LOUP. Neb.. Aug. 8l.-To th
Editor of Th nee: There Is much dis
cussion Just at this time with respect to
the construction of macadamized roads.
If, when we begin a Job of work, we
would carefully go over th subject and
find where other people hav failed In
that same class of work, we might save
much 'expense and many mistakes. Ia
the concrete and brick roadbed a proper
method of building long stretches of
permanent road? 1 will say no, and I
will give my reasons for saying it.
Roads of a smooth concrete surface ar
not good auto roads In wet, frosty
weather. Any class of concrete Is too
apt to crack and become rough. Brlclt
Is better surfacing than concrete.
One of the necessary element In per
manent roads Is to get a surface that will
absorb the water and remain perfectly
solid and remain free from a sleek, slid
ing surfuce. The material moet ideal for
roadbeds is the Sherman Hill gravel
used on the Union Paclflo railroad. It
would not bcom sleek, the water rune
through It like a sieve; it Is very firm
for the heavier roadg. The only repairs
necessary is a shovel to smothen down.
Autos would not skid on it If the stat
were to make arrangements for It the
oost should much lower than cement
and brick Publlo Improvements cost too
much from th fact that much money
is spent In vain on Ill-designed works.

Son School Qacstloa.
OMAHA, Aug. 31.-TO th Editor of
The Rec: W taxpayers are extremely
grateful to your paper for exposing th
secret sessions of th Board of Educa
tion as you are, for we ar vitally Inter
ested in how our representatives ar
using th money and power we have en
trusted to them.
Ther are a few other Items that tho
taxpayers and patrons of the Omaha
public schools Should be acquainted with.
For Instance, those of us who have
known about it have been Incensed for
two years at the arrangement of the
teachers' pay days. It Is humiliating, to
say the least, for th teachers who aro
paying th family grocery and meat bills
fand few of thorn are not), to osk tho
grocers and butchers to wait until after
the middle of each montfc for the settle
ment of their accounts, because their
warrants are not issued earlier In the
month.
Of course, we understand that the at
torney for the Board of Education has
deolared It Illegal to make out the teach
ers payroll until the four weeks' teach
ing has been completed. Why la It more
Illegal to pay the teachers at the end
of four weeks' work than It Is to pay
the Board of Education' office force, and
the Janitors and engineers at that time?
It has Just 'leaked out" that the teach
ers commltte has said their policies In
tha future are to change the teachers
about every year, and not let them know
until th last minute before school opens
In September, where they are assigned.
Both policies, to our notion, are bad
and unjust. If a teacher Is successful in
one district, with on class of children.
why chang her, unless she so desires, to
a district or class In which she has to
waste at least several months adjusting
herself, her methods, tha children, ami
everything else? Would it be good busi
ness for a merchant employing a clerk
who was an expert In selling shoes, to
change him to the china department, and
then when h waa beginning to do good
work there, to put him behind the silk
counter? I not th human mind and
its training as Important as the selling
of goods?
It Is unjust not to notify the teachers
of their assignments as soon as possible.
Nearly every teacher return to th city
several days prior to tbe opening of
school in order to get settled that sh
may be able to give her entire time and
attention and energy to the strenuous
duties of the opening days of school.
Supposed one arranged for room and
board, paying a month's rent In advance,
as is required, tn the north part of the
cltv. only to discover after she Is set
tled for th year that she ha been as
signed to a school in the extreme south
ern part of the city. Can't th board
realise the Inconvenience and useless ex
pens that this "policy means to the
tescher? TEACHER S FRIEND.

CRESCENT, Ia.. Aug. ftt.-To the Editor
of The Bee: Don't you worry about
"Billy" Sunday. Science is your name,

"Ben" Franklin was the first to ac

We are all handicapped; w can neither

on our product. Now th time la at
