President Hoosovelt has expressed
hht sincere regret for the one point
which brings greatest Rhamo of all
upon the army and the government In
connection with the Hrownsvlllo shoot
ing np. He admits that no adequate
punishment has been meted out to
the murderers , und says ho only wish

nt some not distant date the guilty
men may bo hunted down and hanged

A NATIONAL MOTTO.
"If Charlie should got sick I would
work out to support us. " These are
the words of a young woman who , al
though not rich , Is frco from drudgery
and Is accustomed to having all the
small luxuries that mean so much to
n. woman. The words might well bo
made the motto of a nation for they
liavo In them the ring of survival , and
victory and symbolize conquest and
the scorn of failure and defeat. A na
tion whoso women are willing to work
out when husbands become Invalids
should Inscribe those heroic words
over every portal and upon every coin.
It IH n senttmont that should bo Incul
cated in schools and preached In
churches. Any other compromise ex
cept the stern realism of work would
make a difference and in America Is
not to bo thought of.
HELP TUB POOH.
Christmas Is almost upon us. In near
ly every homo there will bo gladness
and Joy the whole day long. In some
there will bo a lack of the world's
merry-making spirit and the very
contrast , at Christmas time , makes
the condition of those thus allllcted
oven harder to bear than on ordinary
days. There are many who know no
Santa Glaus. Many there are , not so
much In Norfolk as In the larger cities ,
who arc suffering for clothing to wear
and bread to oat and coal to keep1
thorn warm , while out through the
world there Is comfort and luxury and
the jingling of bells.
It la a good time of the year to
pause for ono moment In the joy ol
the day and to think of the poor. It
Is an appropriate moment to pause
for the sake of the other side of hu
inanity , and to try to make somebody
glad who will not bo able to join in 11
the day's gladness.
To bo a Santa Glaus is better oven
than to bo his beneficiary : To give
more blessed than to receive. To
inako another's heart light is to pur
chase a joy that could como through
no other possible channel.
The News would that it might glvo
n list of all In Norfolk who could thus
bo visited with blessings of the day.
No doubt every person may know ono
hero or there. For Instance , up above
a brick building on Norfolk avenue
lives Moses Clark poor , humble and
In actual need. Again , east of the
city lives one Mrs. Fuhrniann , who
only exists through peddling a few
eggs from house to house. They're
both In need. And they are but ex
amples. It wore well to search out some
body even with only a little gladness ,
and make a Christinas gift where it
is actually needed almost to the extent -
tent of suffering.
NO WHITE FLAG THERE.
The San Francisco school board has
not taken kindly to { ho recent mes
sage of the president , nor the report
of Secretary Motcalf , upon the situa
tion over Japanese there and the re
ply from the board of education in the
California city almost approaches
Homo of the accusations that have
boon hurled at the executive head by
the Store and the llalloya and the
TlllmaiiH.
The president has expressed the
hope that the San FrnnclHcans will
back down In their determination to
segregate Japanese students , and ho
has declared that there are less than
100 Japanese children of school ago In
San Francisco who want to go to the
whllo schools. The San FranclHco people
ple still stick to their detormlnatlon ,
however , and claim that the Htato of
California hat ) a right to say to what
schools It a various citizens shall go , If
It deeuiH lit.
It Is apparent that the case now In
court IH not going to be dropped If It
depends upon the San Francisco sur
render.
The right of a Ktntn to handle Its
own sc.hoolH IH the point contended for.
It Is n question of constitutional law.
and It would appear that If the people
of San Francisco desire to bring the
ISHIIO to a lest and then donlro to take
advantage of the case If they should
win , Is the right given to all Htaton or
eltlzoiiH under our coiiHtltutlon. It
was apparently well Intended but poor
ly received advlco on the part of the
president wlum ho suggested that the
people of San Francisco ought to back
down and make the test caao unnec
essary.
San Francisco evidently holds that
the present administration has Hhown
nowhere a tendency to My the whlto
Mag when It had an apparent chauco
to gain glory or a point at law , and
no whlto Hag will lly from the Golden
Gate.
TIII5 HIGHT OF APPEAL.
President Roosevelt' recommenda
tion In hlH message to congress , ask
ing that Iho government bo given the
right of appeal In criminal cases IB
another violation of all precedent , not
only In this country but In the history
of the world , and will bo considered
most unusual by students and makers
of law , If not Indeed quite revolution
ary.
ary.No
No country on earth has over had
ho right of appeal In a case wherein
i defendant has been once acquitted.
Once acquitted of a crime , a citizen of
his or any ether nation stands forever
'roe so far ay that charge Is concerned.
Once proven guilty , In our courts , a
nan IH Immune from future punish
ment or trial on the count for which
10 was tried and made frco.
The government now has the right
of appeal upon tho. points nt Issue , and
nay take up the action of a lower
court or decisions of a lower court to
ilghor courts for decisions , merely to
; et llnal views upon the law at stake ,
Imt this In no way affects the man
who was tried and acquitted.
It Is doubtful If the recommendation
lets very far In congress. A govern
ment can become too bloodthirsty.
Courts before now have been swayed
by violent words from a government's
head. Into ( hiding guilty defendants
who would probably have gone frco
under normal conditions.
To glvo the government the right of
appeal would prolong cases Indefinitely -
ly , though this would be but ono Inci
dental feature to consider. The great
principle to be considered Is that of
the justice of compelling a man to
prove himself innocent time after time.
The president's recommendation Is
not a political utterance. It Is neither
a republican nor a democratic doc
trine. And It is an opinion which , It
Is ventured , the bar of the nation will
not agree with as a means of tmo
justice.
BROWNSVILLE AGAIN.
President Roosevelt has reopened
the Brownsville affair and It is report
ed from Washington that this Is to bo
made the ono pre-eminently prominent
feature of the entire Roosevelt ndmln
Istratlon. The shooting of Captain
Macklin the ether night has caused
the case to be reopened. President
Roosevelt has sent ono of the high of-
tlclals In the government to the south
I to take allldavlts as to the shooting of
Captain Macklin.
There Is a remarKable story sur
rounding the shooting of Macklin
Many army olllcors bellovo that no
masked negro , as reported , attacked
him at all and that his wounds wore
self-Indicted for the purpose of creat
ing sympathy for himself at a verj
critical moment. '
Captain Macklin was formerly sta
Honed at Fort Nlobrara , Neb. At the
time of the Urownsvillo shooting ho
was ofllcor of the day. As such ho
was hold responsible for his personal
appearance , his military uniform and
his conduct. Ho was practically a sen
tinel so far ns the garrison was con
corned. Ho should have known nl !
about things going on and should have
been on hand when the garrison was
ordered out by Major Penroso to quell
the disturbance. It happens that
Macklin was captain of company C
whoso privates are said to have done
much of the shooting np of the town
But Mncklln was not on duty. Ho
admitted In his own testimony that ho
went to bed nt 11 o'clock that day
and slept soundly until the next day.
An effort was made to reuse hla
from his quarters , by hammering upon
the door , but ho never budged. Ho
idopt through a volley of shots. Ho
has now been courtmartlallod for beIng -
Ing absent from his poHt. It Is a so-
rloiiH offense , punishable by Impris
onment or dishonorable discharge or
both. Many army oIllcerH are mild to
bellovo that Macklin shot himself In
order to create sympathy for hliiiHelf.
And no Roosevelt IUIH sent a man
down there to get Iho allldavltH from
eyo-wltnoHseH to the shooting. Ho
took thlH atop because Senator Forakor
called attention to Iho fact that there
wan no sworn toHtlmony that there
had over been a dlmirhanco at Utowns-
villa.
Many senators who oppose the pres
ident Bay that this mission discloses
wenknoHS In Iho proHldont'H hand and
declare that It IH a' confession that he
had lltllo real evidence to back his
statement that there were scores of
wltnoHscB to thu shooting by negro sol-
dk'i'H.
It IH said that the president hau not
Iho slightest Intention of restoring the
discharged negro troops to service.
Ho Is backing up his stand In the mat
ter with evidence of all nortH regardIng -
Ing past discharges under ulinilnr cir
cumstances by other presidents
If congroHH were to attempt to pass
a resolution asking the president to
reinstate these troops , the chief exec
utive will promptly veto It. Congress
can not enforce a president to appoint
any person or persons to ofllco.
A discussion will como np when the
senate meets. Some of the senators
will attack the president's action , and
others will defend him. It promises
to bo a red hot Incident before It Is
finished.
MONEY REFORM AGAIN.
The house committee on banking
and currency has decided to make fa
vorable report on an elastic currency
bill but slightly different from that rec
ommended by the bankers' committee.
Secretary Shaw , meanwhile , has been
down In New York and has announced
that ho will take measures to tide the
stringency until the middle of next
month , at least. Congress might do
well , before passing such a measure ,
to consult the needs of the west. Ne
braska bankers have expressed their
objection to such procedure and it is
plainly against the Interests of the
west and for the Interests of Wall
street that such action is being nought
by the cast. What becomes particular
ly offensive to the west Is the contin
ued statement , oven In eastern mag
azines which claim to bo fair and im
partial , that the stringency arises
when the west "wants to borrow mon
ey with which to move the crops. "
As a matter of fact the west Is not
wanting to borrow money. The west
ins been loaning money to the east
ill summer and the cast can't bo
weened away from Its superfluous
cash. The money belongs to the west.
All the west asks Is that the east send
inck what belongs to us. When the
panic of 1898 came along and wiped
.ml the west because the eastern
banker called for his money ho had
loaned out here , there was no clamor
to force the government into a ficti
tious currency reform to help us out.
The cast allowed us to suffer along as
lest wo could. Hut the west has
turned the trick and the shoo Is
pinching down near the Manhattan end
of the boot. And pressure Is brought
to bear upon congress to pass an emer
gency bill that will allow the New
York bankers to Issue moro money
than they have , for the purpose of payIng -
Ing off their debts.
It strikes many as highly ridiculous
that the east should call this relief ,
since It Is only going deeper into debt.
It used to bo n popullstlc theory that
the government , Instead of paying in
tcrest on its debts in foreign lands ,
ought to Issue false or "elastic" cur
rency , if you will , sell It to local tax
payers and save the Interest. It was
argued that no security In the shape
of gold was essential , since a govern *
mcnt's stability rested primarily upon
the government's ability to ralso taxes ,
anyway , so that an assessment upon
the people was enough for security.
It looks ns If the now elastic cur
rency Idea were but the same old pop-
nllstlc Idea In now clothes. Bryan
wanted elastic currency with silver as
a security , at stretched valuation , and
ho was labelled dangerous. Now congress
gross is seriously considering a very
much moro dangerous move.
It has been suggested to The News
by ono prominent Nebraska banker
that a good remedy for this so-called
stringency , would bo to shut down the
payment of Interest on deposit by
banks. In which case , it was argued
the western banks would have no need
for getting interest on their Idle funds
In the summer , would not bo forced
to loan to Now York , and would not
create a stringency , therefore , when
the crops began to move , by asking
back these deposits.
Western congressmen will oppose
the measure In congress. For the
sake of sterling stability In the cur
rency system of this country , and In
order to calm down speculation rather
than to encourage It , It Is to bo hoped
that the measure will fail.
PERSHING'S TROUBLE
Nebraskans who know Captain Por-j
shlng will hope that the stories com
ing from Manila In regard to his pri
vate affairs nro not , a Senator Warren -
ron na > s they arc not , baaed on truth.
Senator Warren of Wyoming , whoso
daughter was recently married to Per-
Hhlng , declares tho.t the stories como
from Jealousy among army officers
over the rapid rlHo of Porshlng.
AH Indicative of the esteem In which
Captain Pondilng was held at the uni
versity of Nebraska , the expert mili
tary company of cadets , organized for
the mike of fine military work , wns
named for him and Is still known as
"Tho Periling Rifles. "
Concerning the Pershlng stories , a
Washington dispatch IUIH thin to say ,
which will be of Interest to PcrHhlng's
frlomlM : ,
"Army circles have boon all torn
up the last week or ten days over ru-
IIIOI-H that Brigadier General Pershlng
had committed an Indiscretion In the
PlilllpplnoH which should have mate
rially Interfered with his confirma
tion As a matter of fact , however ,
there seems to bo a pretty general
evidence that Mack' Pershlng , who Is
now on his way to assume command
of the division In the Philippines , has
been the \lctlm of scandalmongers al
most unheard of In the army.
"When Porshlng left Nebraska for
the Spanish-American war ho left be
hind him In the university an excellent
record for olllcloncy. Ho was a friend
of everybody. Ho was particularly a
friend of Senator Burkett , who was
then a member of the lower house of
congress , and later , when Burkett was
elected senator Pershlng was In his
mind's eye for a brigadier general's
star. During his campaigning In the
Philippines Pershlng became the hereof
of the whole army. Senator Burkett ,
seeing his friend of old university
days win his spurs , was among the
llrst to urge on the president Per-
shlng's promotion , and what is most
vital , the president promised Senator
Burkett to take care of Pershlng when
the opportunity presented. That was
before the election of 190-1. "
Another Washington correspondent
says : Secretary Tuft scoffs the Per-
shing immorality tale. He says the
paternity charges of a Filipino woman
have already been Investigated and
found untrue. Action by Pershlng Is
awaltod with Interest.
Charging bluntly that a cabal of dis
entitled army officers Is responsible
for circulation of reports about the
elatlons of his son-in-law , General
Tohn J. Pershlng , with a Filipino wo
man while campaigning In Mindanao ,
Senator Francis E. Warren today de
clared his confidence In General Per
shlng and added a most effective proof
that Mrs. Pershlng has the same confi
dence.
These stories came to the attention
of Mrs. Porshlng some time ago. It
was through a letter to her husband ,
which she had seen , that she learned
that such stories wore circulated. She
Inquired , satisfied herself and then
wrote to her father , who Is chairman
of the senate committee on military
affairs. Senator Warren told of thlf >
letter today.
"Dear Papa , " wrote Mrs. Pershlng ,
"if any stories about Jack come to
you , to his discredit , don't believe
thorn. No matter how circumstantial
they may be , or how w.ell they may
seem to be substantiated , they are not
true and you may be sure of It. "
The Manila cables , tolling a remark
able story of the alleged relations be
tween General Pershing when he was
campaigning In the Philippines to a
Filipino woman named Joaqulna Bon
doy Ignaclo , were in truth not news
to Senator Warren.
Senator Warren , Incident to show
Ing how little ho had to do with Per-
shlng's remarkable promotion , told a
story of the romance of Captain Per
shlng and Miss Warren , now Mrs. Per
shlng :
"My daughter and I had como here
for the opening of the session , " said
the senator , "two years ago. Pershlng
had once lived In Nebraska and had
many friends there. Ho had made his
record in the Philippines , and in his
message at the opening of that coiv
gress the president had commended
his services and spoken of the desir
ability that such work should meet ad
equate recognition.
"Well , on the evening of the very
day that message was read in congress
my daughter and I received invitations
to dlno with Senator and Miss Millard
of Nebraska. Wo went and there wo
both mot , for the first time , Captain
Pershlng. My daughter was Just out
of school. She and Porshlng wore
very friendly. The next evening Miss
Warren attended a dance at the post
at Fort Myer and there she and Per
shing danced together. That was the
beginning of the affair.
"Senator Burkett of Nebraska was
a classmate of Pershlng In the state
university of Nebraska and an Intl
mate friend. Ixmg before my daugh
ter or myself know Pershlng , Burkett
had gone to the president to ask that
Mack' bo made a brigadier general In
consideration of his services In the
Islands ; and the president had prom
ised It So you can see how little I
had to do with It. "
It seems a pity that the army can
not bo operated along civil lines. Jealousy -
ousy that would bo expected of an
actor , is found on all hands , apparently
ontly , in army life.

There Is no use talking , there never

Norfolk Is proud of today.
A man In Norfolk might hear that

the Norfolk fire department would be

On Christmas night the railway
trainmen of Norfolk will give a danc
ing party in Marquardt hall. Norfolk
people ought to attend In largo num
bers. The railway trainmen mean
much to Norfolk. They do much to
boost Norfolk all the year around.
This is the only opportunity Norfolk
has of showing thorn that their ef
forts arc appreciated , and they deserve
a houseful.
It Is , at some time in his life , the
ambition of every boy to grow up into
a passenger conductor. And why not ?
They're always good looking , winners
with the "loidics , " jolly fellows ; they
get a frco ride for a few hours and
then have n couple of days' rest with
nothing to do but enjoy their leisure ;
and they are allowed to jump on and
off a train while It is moving , without
fear of arrest. They give signals to
start the cars like army generals , and
their orders have to be obeyed. Great
life , this conductorlng , and its no won
der boys always have such ambition.
The funeral of Andrew Teal on Sun
day afternoon marked the passing of
ono of the old guard among Nebraska
railway engineers. "Andy" Teal was
a splendid man. Ho was a man in
every sense of the word. He was one
of the stalwart locomotive engineers.
Last spring he said , "I am not super
stitious. I never have believed in un
lucky numbers on locomotives. I be
lieve that when a man's turn comes ,
he will go. " His turn came before
many months had passed , after that.
His heart was the trouble. He know
that the end was not far away , for he
once said , in railroad phrase , "I'm laid
up for repairs much of the time. My
valves don't seem to pump just right. "
Ho was a fine fellow , was "Andy"
Teal , and his loss Is a real loss not
only to the railway trainmen , but to
the community at largo.
A Christmas celebration that comes
very near the Ideal has been prac

ono household where there are still
little children. Every Christmas eve
the little follows speak their pieces at
the Sunday school tree with the whole
family on deck to hear them. Early
Christmas morning they wake up and
rouse the older household. But they
are not allowed to rush down stairs to
the tree. They wait until everybody
In the family Is ready for It and then
line up , the littlest tot leading and
the others graduated according to
their ago , the whole parade marching
down the btalrs and into the big din
ing room , where Santa Glaus bus mys
torlously decorated a big tree during
the night. It Is laden with the presents
ents , which are dealt out by the head
of the family and the presents , of
course , are enough ammunition to
make things merry nil day long. At
night the tree Is lighted up with can
dles again , before the dying Christ
