Busy Days Ahead for Omaha.
From now on until after the Ak-Sar-Ben
festivities, biiFy days are sighted for Omaha.
Right at the outset we are to have the National
Ietter Carriers' aHsorlation convention, tho
"Rllly" Sunday revival meetings, the Methodlut
conference for this district, the Tel Jed Sokol
of the central went, not to mention several
events of lesser moment. Tbe Farmers' Na
tional congress, the German-American alliance,
and Ak-Sar-Hen'g carnival, parades and court
ball are also fast approaching dates.
What Omaha must do is to realize that It la
soon to be full of visiting strangers, and to make
the most of Its opportunities for impressing
them with the wide-awake character of the city,
and Its assurance of continued growth and bet
terment. Kvery loyal citizen of Omaha Inter
ested in advancing the high standing and good
name of the community should be on the Job aa
an entertainment committee and booster every
moment he can devote to the common welfare.
Every one In position to take a bird's-eye view
of the country agrees that Omaha Is one of the
brightest spots In the landscape, and we should
utilize every advantage we have for our onward
march of progress.
It von Tirpitz to Go?
A report from Berlin indicates that Admiral
von Tirpltx is to be retired from hla place at
the bead of tbe German navy. If this be true
it Is assuredly a result of the changed attitude
of the imperial Oerman government with rela
tion to its naval policy. Von Tlrpits has been
listed as a champion of the aubsea warfare that
has brought Germany and the 1'nlted States so
clone to the breaking point. Ills order estab
llshed the "war zone" in which the U-boats
operated, and as minister and admiral of tbe
navy, he assumed responsibility for their move
ments.
Recent successes on land have so strength
ened the German poaitlon as to make possible
some modification of its outside policy, and tbe
abandonment of the objectionable features of
submarine attack will not seriously interfere
vith the general purpose of the Imperial gov
ernment. Here is another point on which the
Germans have outmaneuvered the Allies. While
Great Britain Is yet halting over the simple mat
ter of permitting the unobstructed passage of
goods actually owned in the United States, and
grudgingly giving assent to even that small
measure of freedom of the seas, tbe Germans
find themselves able to concede the utmost point
contended for by the American government, and
to do it In auch a way aa more than ever fixes
the friendly relations between the two countries.
In meeting the demands of the president, the
kaiser has shown himself ag good a diplomat as
he Is a military tactician.
The attitude of the United States as to tbe
rights of neutrals on tbe high seas is unchanged.
nd Its position la greatly strengthened by the
developments of the last few days.
Only a "Scrap of Paper."
Attorney General Reed now cornea forward
in his efforts to help the democrats out of their
decidedly awkward dilemma, and advises the
Lbrogatlon'of the Gerdes law in order to make
possible the diversion of fees to support the de
partment that collects them. It Is only a "scrap
of paper" between the democrats at Lincoln and
the state treasury, even If It Is the law of Ne
braska, presented and passed for tbe very pur
pose it Is now accomplishing. The attorney gen
eral also suggests that the food commissioner
embezzle the fees be collects, and each month
publish an accounting, that the people may
know every thirty days Just how much . the
shortage amounta to. Anyone who objects to
the peculation may bring suit to enforce the law.
This is certainly fine advice for the chief
law officer of the state to give to one 6f Its
administrative officers. It is In line with sev
eral other opinions the attorney general has de
livered himself of since he has taken office. This
is In some waya the most seriously menacing of
all hla vagaries, for, should the matter be
brought Into court for a test, It will be tbe duty
of the attorney general to defend the law he is
now advising the food commissioner to Ignore.
At the rate he ia going, the opinions of the at
torney general will toon be worth about a cent
a pound.
Treasurer Hall is still relying on the law and
the constitution to support him In his resistance
to the illegal demands of the other state house
democrats, while the people are coming to un
derstand what a mess the Morehead administra
tion Ja making of the state's affalra.
Georgfia'g "Honor" Vindicated.
The grand jury of Cobb county, Georgia la
typical of lta kind. It failed to return any ln
dictrueut against any of the guilty or in any way
to fix tbe responsibility for the murder of Leo
M. Frank. This may stand as a "vindication"
for Georgia'a "honor.- but it will not satisfy the
world. Governor Harria still has his chance to
pursue the Inquiry, and expose and punish tha
guilty parties. It is impossible that so daring a
crime could be so openly committed and no up
holder of the law be cognizant of lta perpetra
tors. Georgia should not rest on the report of
the grand Jury. If it wishes to escape from the
fhame put upon It by its own citizens. The
vigorous pursuit of the criminala Is the only
means through which assurance can be given
that Georgia aincerely feels the disgrace of the
foul crime.
The grand assessment of taxable property
iu Nebraska this year haa cost the taxpayers in
round figures IJ14.000. without. Including the
outlay of Urns and money by the different equal
ization boards, which would probably bring it up
la the neighborhood of $500,000. Looks like
a place for efficiency methods and retrenchment.
, The Omaha Public library has finally found
It convenient to reopen lta doors Saturday after
noons and S-undaya. The experiment of closing
down during the summer will be pronounced a
success, but we doubt if it will be copied by any
other wide-awake city.
By his own words "Met" Is now "simply a
newspaper man In the employ of General Car
ranza." Well, anyway, that'a a promotion from
the Job of chasing rainbows as a candidate for
the democratic nomination for governor or
senator.
Grammar
T.blLii Life.
THB man who Invented grammar Is, unfortunately,
dead. He probably died a natural death, because
at the time lha enormity of his offense wasn't
realised. He certainly never got what was coming to
him. In thoee, days nobody could understand how
much damage one man can do to posterity.
This la tha man that Phskeapesre undoubtedly had
In mind when he wrote, "The evil that men do lives
after them."
Of all the superfluous In (tries of the present
time, can any one be said to apirroarh grammar? Con
sider the countless women and professors who are
earning a living by teaching It. Consider the manu
facture of text books on grammar. It Is really awful
to contemplate such a vast atructure. And then con
sider how utterly useless grammar Is for any purpose
whatsoever, and you get, like a flash, a sudden reve
lation of the marvelous stupidity of the human race:
Nobody ever "w B healthy, .normal, naturally
bright boy or girl who had any use for grammar.
Nature knew Its business when It made It Impossible
for the grammarians to grab a baby before he can
speak and teach him grammar first. They would
unquestionably, if they could, make him learn all the
parts of speech beforehand. If they had this power
no property constituted baby woold want to speak.
anywsy. Ht would argue that If merely telling what
you want and passing the time of day and alt that
had to be dona by a fixed schedule, like a ttme-tablo,
or as if It was a government affair, why bother about
talking nt all?
The grammarian would get the baby and say:
'Now, my young friend, you will soon be in a
position to use the word 'mamma.' First you must
get firmly fixed In your mind that mamma. Is a
noun. Tou must also ask yourself what is Its num.
ber? Its gender? What does It presutrore and co
ordinate? Has It any objective Infinitive, and what
Is Its adverbial complement? Is It governed by am'
partlrlpal, prenatal predicate? Also draw a diagram
showing the word 'mamma' In Its relations to tho
antecedent-.. To the relative pronouns."
Fortunately, no grammarian can do this. Provi
dence probably Intervened. Babies are compelled to
learn how to speak before the grammarians get hold
of them, so that these gentlemen cannot utterly spoil
them afterward for practical purposes. Hence our
best writers have risen above Insidious grammar and
frankly confess they know little about It and care
less. .
There are msny devoted peoble who firmly ' elleve
that a political economist represents the lowest form
of human Intelligence. We respect them for their
opinion. There is, Indeed, much to be aald In favor of
their view. But give us the grammarian. For one
thing, there are more grammarians than there are
political economists, so that, considered by mere
volume, the grammarians have the best of It. Then,
again, the grammarian Is more active and covers a
broader field, and everybody seems to have a more
sublime confidence In his unlntelllgence.
One of the most curious paradoxes In human llt
Is that nobody would even take the time or think It
worth while to dispute the word of a grammarian;
yet grammar Is accepted as a matter of course. Just
as If it had some remote bearing on poetry, drama
and other real literature. It unfortunately happens
that the teaching of grammar as It is practiced In
our schools makes everybody who Is not abormal hate
It sincerely and cordially. If this were otherwise and
ana it got to be attractive, like the "movies," for
example, think of all the additional harm It could do!
At present we have coma to accept It and endure It
without question and w ithout knowing the reason why
But our better Instincts still survIvS, and who knows
but that the day will come when by popular edict
every grammarian will be compelled to give up his
present Job and go out and earn an honest living?
Timing the Telephone
Xdterary Digest
LL SERVICE tends nowadavs to be metered The
Agss and electric meters we know; the water
meter some onrmsa frsntlollv hut valnlv' tha
meter in the taxlcab drives us mad as It ticks off the
miles; and now we are even to talk by meter! Of
course, every telephone central office has some de
vice for regulating and controlling time calls. The
meter now perfected Is claimed to be so accurate that
it can replace the more costly devices, and so almule
and Inexpensive that the Individual user can avail
hlmseir of It and thua "check up" tha company.
"Increased efficiency," says a contributor to Tele

Increased subscribers' lists. Increased revenue, and
Increased cordiale In the business of telephony gen
erally. Nowhere along the line, however, has the
cordiale been more often or more sorely strained than
through Inefficient, Inadequate or careless timing of
toll calls.
"Particularly is this true In smaller offices where
the elaborate and necessarily expensive apparatus for
timing calls has been 'too costly for Installation, and
dependence has been placed upon ordinary clocks,
which are, of course, as unsatisfactory to the com

"The Grave a' phone meter. It Is claimed, has com .

in larger offices it Is already proving of great value
In timing the handling of calls on tha 'observation'
desks. This device has been tried out by a number of
Independent and Bell companies and has proved sat
lsfactory for timing toll calls.
"The phone metep registers up 'to six minutes In
one revolution of the dial and It continues unt.l

starts the meter to record, by moving to the right the
lever at the top. Moving It In the reverse direction
stops the Indicator instantly, showing the exact time
which has elapsed. In minutes and seconds. The dial
is graduated to seconds, and the device. It Is said, is
marvelously accurate.
"The phone meter Is placed upon the keyboard
within convenient reach of the operator. If while
the conversation Is In progress an Interruption occurs,
the meter may be stopped and then started again
when service Is resumed. The operator Is thus not 1

OMAHA. Kejt. 1 To the Editor of
The floe: Last Monday there was a re
port In ths pabers of a defense of Dr.
Frederick Cook. It struck me that it
might be of interest, to some of your
reauer. at least, if some of the facta
were et forth briefly.
It Is not necessary to go beyond Dr
t ook s own story for a proof that the
story Is well, let us say queer, to say
the least He repeatedly gives his lati
tude In degrees, minute and "seconds.'
But, as he had only a pocket eextant
how was It possible for him to make his
calculations In "seconds." Manifestly
something Is wrong there.
He says, that he was gone from his
base of food supply some eighty-five
days (exact number I do not remember),
and took with him 1.08 pounds of food.
Every one knows, who knuws anything
of food values, that It takes sixteen
ounces of dry food per day merely to
sustain life, proWded no physical or
mental work is undertaken. At that, his
entire food supply was exhausted In
forty-five days; what did he live on for
the next forty odd days, after having
been on starvation rations for the first
period, and still continue to perform the
most strenuous work that a man can
do. Again there seems to be something
wrong.

Omaha will have a very beneficial effect
on some of the preachers, at least.
"nen tne organization of the Sund.v
campaign took on form some months ago.
all the Protestant churches, or as many
of them which desired, and. Included
among these were the colored churches
of the city, were asked to participate in
the work. Affairs went along swim
mlndy. in the organisation of prayer
meeting committees, personal workers
etc. Prof. J. E. Carnal of this city waa

chorus of 1,600 voices, so singers of tho
various church choirs of Omaha. South
Omaha. Dundee. Benson and Council

memoers of choirs were invited to send
In their applications for membership in

through the column of the dally press
and no scificatlotis as to race, color or
creed were made, the one qualification,
presumably, waa ability to sing. As fast
as the applications were received names
were enrolled.
The member of a choir of one of our
colored churches sent In their names for
enrollment according to request, and were
notified that they would be enrolled as
member of the "Sunday chorus." This
was three weeks ago. Borne of the mem

not to appear at the rehearsal scheduled
for Wednesday evening. September 1.
This committee did not base its action
upon any Informallon which It had re
ceived concerning any objection by any
of the members of that chotr. It based
Us aetlon t.pon the spirit of csste which
actuated the hearts and minds of some
of themselves, who have not yet learned
thst God Is no respecter of persons, that
of "one blood made He all tho nation of
the earth "
Now. Mr. Editor. I heve followed the
work of Mr. Sunday during the last
fourteen yeais and In no slnngle Instance
have I ever heard of his drawing- the
color line. On the contrary I have been
reliably Informed by eye witnesses that
be has always recognised and encouraged
the co-operation of the colored people In
his campaign. This spirit of Intolerance
and caste Is not eyedltable to Oiha and
the great, broad-minded, progressive west.
It discredits the religion of Jesus Christ,
whom these ministers and members if
that commutes profess to follow. Such
action on their part make religion a
humbug and a farce in the eyes of the
world, whom they so loudly profess to
be anxious to rave. This action of these
committee members makes Protestantism
In Omaha a his in if and a by-word tn
the mouths of those ot opiwstte faith.
And anyone who has a rlaht conception
of God knows what He thinks of It. It
la A notorious fsct In church circles that
the many churches of Protestant faith In
Omaha are lamenlaMy weak because of
a lack of strong, virile, conscientious,
courageous tr.lnlters. There are plenty
of "time servers," plenty of men who ara
but an aolgy for -.he high calling of
ministers of the . gospel. Contrast tha
action of this committee with that of
tne Ssenaerfest society two months ago,
when It held Its convention here. At two;

among whom was quite a tiumber of
colored cl'ilriren, sang and no one was
hurt by reason of thel presence there.
Thee men did not Pharisaically pro
claim their exalted purpose of redeeming
lost souls.
I do not think that Mr. Sunday wilt
endorse such action of the committee,
because Ms Ideas of righteousness1 are
contrary to any such narrow, hypocri
tical Idea of expediency. The ministers
of this city owe it to themselves and j
to the Sundoy campaign to disavow the
