Decide to Do.
DIRECTS CITY ATTORNEY TO PROSECUTE
Orillnnncn Declare! Ilrfnsnt of Any

Misdemeanor.
Seven members of the Board of Educa
tion will bo haled to tho police court for
violating tho city ordinance' which declares
it to be a misdemeanor for any person to
refuse to appear as a witness beforo a coun
cil committee when properly subpoenaed.
nobert Smith, M. K. Kunkhouser, George
T. Nicholson, James V. Maynard, Fred
Stubbendorf, Morris Levy and Charles S.
Hayward are tho school directors liable
to arrest, their offenso being their refusal
to come beforo tho council Judiciary com
mittee to testify as to the "well-defined
rumors" referred to In the school board's
resolution hinting at a diversion of fines
from disorderly houses.
Tuesday Robert Smith, M. K. Funk
houter, Ocorgo T. Nicholson and James W.
Maynard, acting on the advice of Carl Her
ring, attorney for the school board, told
Sergeant Wclscnbcrg, who served sub
poenas on them, that they would not ap
pear beforo Mr. llascall's commlttco unless
they wcro picked tip bvdlly and taken to
the city hall In tho patrol wagon. Yesterday
morning tho sergeant served subpoenas on
Fred Stubbendorf, Morris Levy and C. S.
Hayward with the same result.
"Why," remarked tho officer, as he re
ported to Chalrmnn Hnscair yesterday,
"those fellows Just Gavo me tho dirty
laugh."
Propone to Chanice (lie Lnngh.
"They won't bo laughing this afternoon,"
was the significant remark of the chair
man. Then Mr. Hnscall, Mr. Whltehorn and
Mr. Zlmman, tho members of tho commit
tee on hand, held a brief executive session,
at the conclusion of which Deputy Assist
ant City Attorney Morgan was called for.
"Mr 'Morgan," said Chairman Hascall,
"tho city prosecutor has been granted a
lcavo of nbsenco and as he has probably
gono away I will direct you to file com
plaints against tho members of the Board
of Education who have refused to obey
subpoenas to appear as witnesses before
this commlttco. You will proceed against
them at once."
Mr. Morgan assented and proceeded to his
ofQco to prepare tho complaints.
Tho committee then adjourned subject to
the call of the chairman.
After Iho adjournment Mr. Hascall said
to Tho Bee: "As I understand tho law, our
committee has tho authority to bring wit
nesses in by main forco If necessary, but
we have decided not to resort to such
tactics. We want to do this In a gentle
manly way. Perhaps after two or three of
those fellows get fined In the police court
they will all be willing to como here and
testify. Wo will prosecute them under tho
provisions of tho ordinance passed by tho
council last Wednesday morning."
What the Law Snya.
Tho ordinance under which the prosecu
tions -vlll bo conducted Is as follows:
Section 1, It Is hereby declared unlawful

Ethics of Lying
"When Is a lie not a Ho!" Is the conun
drum which E. Benjamin Andrews, chancel
lor of the University of Nebraska, proposed
to tho students at the University of Chi
cago. The answer involves a 'point of ethics
about which there Is some difference of
opinion.
Dr. Andrews is supported by a number of
Chicago ministers In his answer, that a He
Is not a lie when it is a "white lie." He
takes the view that It is better to state
untruths In an honest purpose than to
state facts with malicious Intent. Ills con
tention la supported by ethical leaders who
fill the pulpits of Chicago churches. His
principle Is characterized by others as dan
gerous. Mr. Andrews goes even further than ha
did in his address to tho students.
"It Is certainly Justifiable," nald Dr. An
drews, "to preach a creed a part of which
you do not approve or to llBten to a mln-
Istor say things you do not like. When the
motlvo is good when nil Is done for the
ultimate end It Is well, but when It Is
done hypocritically, for social position, or
for money, It Is not to be endured.
'A preacher who preaches for salary
alone is too mean to Ilvo. Ho ought to
be hung and quartered, and- his biography
written by his worst enemy. It Is Impcs
slblo to enunciate creed with which every
one will agreo In all particulars.
"Conciliation Is necessary to any great
number of people to agree to hymns, creed,
or liturgy. I would throw out many of the
hymns If 1 had anything to do with it.
Other people would throw out others, and
soon we would have an entire new set of
hymns and they would be as unsatisfactory
as the first. We cannot get an Ideal ex
purgation. Do not leave a church becauso
you do not believe In all of Its details. A
preacher may use a prayerbook any of
whce tenets he does not believe, It ths
motive is right."
Dr. Andrews also found Justification for
the society woman ,who says she Is not at
homo when she does not wish to l.ccivo
some one who calls.
"This Is a conventional misstatement."
he said, "which Is not meant to deceive
anybody, and rarely does. It Is a Ho that
dors not lie, and there scorns to bo little
barm In It.
"Another of the conventional lies that we
have Is tho complimentary closing of let
ters. Wo say 'yours truly' when wo mean
nothing of the sort. If Admiral Schley
should wrlto to Admiral Sampson he would
probably sign himself 'Your obedient serv
ant,' but he would not mean that, and Ad
miral Sampson would know he did not
mean It. These conventional things mean
about as much as the 'amen' at the end of
s prayer. It means simply that we are
through.
"How may ono know when he has a right
to deceive? Do not deceive because you
wish to save yqur own bacon, nor for any
advantage of your awn. Do not form a
habit or Inclination to deceive, but thero
are times when It Is perfectly proper to
deceive to some extent when the object of
the deception ! Justifiable. No selfish act
can bs Justifiable."

Proposition for Ertction of Artificial Io

LOCAL BUSINESS MEN MAY INVEST
Idea la to Utilise the Oterrlinr from
Cnro Sprlnga for the Manufacture
of Artlflrlnl Ice .rrd for
Mnnlclpnl Kconoiny.
There is some probability of an artificial
Ice plant being constructed In South Omaha.
Negotiations aro now pending between an
Ice machine manufacturing company and
Illchard O'Kecfc, the owner of the Curo
springs at Nineteenth and N streets. As
Mr. O'Kecfc owns considerable property
In the vicinity of the springs It, Is figured
that a plant capable of manufacturing
thirty tons of Ice a day can be constructed
at a comparatively nominal cost. The
water from the springs Is considered pure
nnd as It Is as clear as crystal tficro will
be no necessity for distilling It. A plant
of the size mentioned can be constructed
for about $20,000 and Mr. O'Kcefo Is con
sidering the advisability of making the In
vestment. At the present tlmo the leo sold here
Is secured mostly from the packers and
from the South Omaha Ice company's houso
at Cut-Off lake. As the Ice from the river
Is dirty the suggestion was made to Mr.
O'.Kcefe to utilize the overflow of the
springs be owns for manufacturing pur
poses. The location of tho Curo springs Is con
sidered first-class for tho erection and
maintenance of an Ice manufacturing plant
and It Is thought that there will be no
difficulty In Interesting local business men

Of tho 1901 appropriation of $5,&71 for
street repairs there has already been ex
pended since August 1 the sum of $3, CSC.
This leaves a balance of $2,174 to pay for
tho repairs to tho streets and alleys for
twelve months. As it is evident that the
balance will hardly carry the city over
the winter, some of tho members of the
council are urging the utmost economy In
this department. There Is always quite a
sum of money needed In the spring for
emergency cases and the finance committee
looks forward 1o the time when there will
be need of money to carry out the work
In these emergency cases. It Is understood
that some of the repairs already ordered
will be held In abeyance for the time being

South Omnlm Sheep Ilecelnta.

Those who bellevo with Mr. Andrews say
that one of the best examples of tho llo
that Is not a lie 1b the nun In ''Lcs Meser
ubles." Victor Hugo portrays a spotless
character, one who had never told a He.
Sho Is brought to face the question of what
constitutes a llo when the searchers ask
Ler It Jean Valjean Is hidden la the house.
Her answer Is no, nnd so far as a statement
of the facts goes she has told a He. Chicago
men who stand for the strictest principles
of ethics believe that Victor Hugo pictured
an honest woman In the nun.
Tho bishop-, too, In the story, tells an un
truth, and yet neither Dr. Andrews nor
those who agree with htm on ethics will ad
mit that tho bishop told a lie. When the
bishop was asked If Jean Valjean had stolen
the candlestick, he said no, he had given It
to him. This Is another example of the
"white lie" that Is not a He, according to
many critics.
Physicians agreo with Dr. Andrews in his
Illustration of what should be told to a
sick man for tho truth. Thev say the truly
false person will tell a man c exact facts,
often commenting on tho fact that he Is
sinking rapidly and that they fear he Is In
a dangerous condition. Tho honest man will
say ho Is pleased to see the patient look
ing better, even though he knows he Is
worse.
Politeness Is defined In some quarters as
largely made up of lies.
"Thero Is a kind of lying." said one of
tho Instructors at the University of Chi
cago, "that is like paint. It Is used to
conceal unpleasant things. No one thinks
of Insisting that an Imperfect board should
go unpalntcd because, paint lies In saying
that board Is as good as another. A man
paints himself over with politeness and
covers up tho Imperfections and ugllnc?
of his nature. The world Is better for It.
Ho tells many an untruth In doing It.' Let
him be honest with himself and he will not
nnswer to the charge of sinful lying when
the judgment day comes. Dr. Andrews'
statement Is a self-evident fact. Telling
an untruth is often far from the sin against
which we are warned In the command
ments." Rev. Fred D. Sheets, a Methodist min
ister, pgrecs with Dr. Andrews' opinion. A
He to him, be says, Is defined by its mo
tive and not by Its form.
"A statement of facts that are not true,"
said Rev. Mr. Sheots, "If it havo no harm
ful results may be far from tho sin of ly
ing. There -are 'circumstances where It
Is not only wise to refrain from speaking
Ihe truth, but alto necessary to deceive.
The character of the nun In 'Les Miserables'
seems to me thatvof an honest woman and
the fact that one untruth was told docs
not In my eyes make her guilty of the sin
of lying.
"I do not know exactly where to draw a
definition of lying, but in speaking of It In
this way, I mean a sinful untruth. It seems
to mo to answer the question directly that
a He Is not a He when it has no sinful re
sult or Intent In It."
Rev. A. J. Thlele does not admit there
la a question. A He Is a He, he says, and
there Is little use In drawing a distinction.

Modern science has discovered that dan
druff Is caused by a germ that digs up the
scalp In scales, as 11, burrowH down to the
roots of the hair, where It destroys the
hair's vitality, causing falling hair, and,
ultimately, baldness. After Prof. Unna of
Hamburg, Germany, discovered the dandruff
germ all efforts to find a remedy failed
until tho great laboratory discovery was
made which resulted In Newbro s Herplclde.
It alone of all other hair preparations kills
the daudruff germ. Without dandruff hair

remove tho effect."
Debate Engendered by
Dr. Andrews at Chicago
"Of course," said Rev. Mr. Thlele, "there
are different kinds of lies, some of them
far worse than others. But why say an
untruth Is sometimes uot a He? Will It
not do to admit that a He is a He and then
to say that In some instances one who lies
Is not guilty of a great sin: It hardly
seems well for us to learn the lesson that
lying Is not lying Better teach strict ad
herence to the truth and then thero will be
sincere repentance If the tlmo ever comes
when an untruth seems necessary."
Mrs. Nancy B. Irving, who has been look
ing in vain for an honest man, thinks
Dr. Andrews should have entered the com
petition for tho $1,000 prlre. A man who Is
honest enough to admit that ho lies and
who says It Is necessary, she says, comes
nearest tha criterion sho had In mind when
sho made the offer. Her way of looking nt
tho question Is this:
'The man who lies and says that he lies
Is an honest man," tnld Mrs. Irving. "Why
talk about the telling of untruths as an
Important question in honest living? Tho
conception of honesty must change before
we can come down to a, serious discussion
of tho ethics of lying. It Is not necessary
to have a tongue to tell a He. Lying de
pends upon no particular organ of the
body. Honest living Is Impossible. Honesty
of purpose in living Is the best we can
strive for. A man of honest purpose will
tread a devious path If he holds fast to
tho strictest Integrity of nil the affairs of
life. He will probably havo to leavo the
field of business."
Superintendent of Schools E. Q. Cooley,
who succeeded Dr. Andrews in that posi
tion, said he already had enough to worry
about.
"Whether a He can be anything but a He
Is not a question that comes within my
province," sad Mr. Cooley. "Ethics and ed
ucation may be allied, but I am not endeav
oring to solve questions similar to this in
either direction."
Luther Laflln Mills takes Dr. Andrews to
task for his statement of a principle which
"threatens to destroy the essontlal faith of
man In man."
"The advocating by tho learned lecturer
of the Justification of falsehood," said Mr.
Mills, "Is In distinct antagonism to the
higher conscience and ethics of the age and
to the effcrts of good men everywhere to
inculcate and encourage in each member of
the community tho character of sincerity
and truth. The theory ho urges Is not orig
inal with him. It Is old. And yet presented
In this day of moral development and
growth It Is more than a surprise.
"Tho doctrne that a man may Ho to suit
his purpose, If he believes that purpose to
bo good, is of such limitless latitude In the
possible application that its adoption would
strike at the foundation of the social order
and destroy the essential faith of man In
man. Its advocacy militates against that
human perfection, Individual and social,
which, although It may be far away, should
still be an object of men's highest thought
and endeavor.

Collectors Discover thnt In Ordrr tu

Several Amendment to
l.niT Are Xeeennnry.
Emerson Benedict, field deputy of the
United States collector of the Internal
revenue, has about completed the prelim
inary Investigation of the vases of cigar
makers In this city who have filed with
the collector claims for refund under thu
amendment to the war revenue law which
went Into effect July 1. He finds that the
amount of collectible claims held by manu
facturers In Omaha will aggregate about
$20,000. His work has been to verify the
claims filed and so far he has found no
cases where tho facts wcro msterlal'y dif
ferent from the allegations of the applica
tions filed by the claimants. Several ap
plication wero so defective ao to require
considerable changes, the government being
very strict In Its Insistence upon the letter
of the law being fulfilled.
With the transmission of the report of the
collector to Washington there will be a
suspension of work connected with the re
funding of tho money paid ns taxes until
after tho next session of congress, as at
this tlmo thero Is no money available f.r
the payment of the clulms, the last congress
falling to mnkc an appropriation for this
putposc. It Is believed that the congres
sional appropriation will be mado early In
the session and that at that time the cigar
manufacturers will have so nearly filed all
of their claims that the gross amount
needed In the appropriation ran bo as
certained. Since tho amendment to the revenue law-
went Into effect the officers of the collec
tion department havo discovered several
places whero changes could bo made to great
advantage to the service and to the persons
affected by the law. One of the most Im
portant of theso relates to banks, which
under the old law had provided themselves
with many thousand Imprinted drafts,
checks and other paper required by law to
be stnmped. In providing for the redemp
tion of the stamped paper congress mado
no provision for returning the checks and
drafts to tho banks .after the stamps had
been accounted for and redeemed. When
representatives of the banks requested the
return of the canceled paper the com
missioner Informed them that ho could not
do this, but would preserve all such paper
and request congress to amend the law to
permit him to return It to the owners.
Omaha bankers were generally fortunate
In having comparatively little of this paper
on hnnd, the total amount not aggregating
more than $10,000.
DISCUSSES BARTLEY PAROLE
Clinrlca A. tana l'prce Opinion
thnt I'rianner C'nn lie ItctiirneU
to I'cnltvntliiry.
OMAHA. Aug. 21. To tho Editor of Tho
Bee: In today's Bee your Lincoln corre
spondent Is quoted as saying: "The point
has been raised that Governor Savage has
no power to return Bartley to the peniten
tiary so long as he compiles with the con
ditlons of the temporary parole, which, In
brief, aro that he maintain good behavior
and report regularly to the warden, through
his sponsor, C O. Whedon.- In other words.
It Is contended thnt the governor cannot
limit a parole and return the prisoner at the
expiration of the time allowed unless th
prisoner by his behavior gives some cause
for tho action "
I call your attention to the parolo law,
which Is now known as section G70 of the
criminal code. After defining the cases In
which n parole rray be allowed. It provides
that the prisoner shall "remain, while on
parole, within the state, under the control
and In the legal custody of tho governor
and subject at any time to be taken back
within the enclosure of said Institution, and
full power to retake and relmprlson any
convict so upo't parole Is hereby conferred
upon tho governor, whoso written order
shall be sufllrlent warrant for all officers
named therein to authorlie such officers to
return to actual custody any conditionally
released or paroled prisoner, and it is
herehv made the dutv of all officers to exe
cute said order the same as ordinary crim
inal processes."
If this law be Invalid It must be invalid
for tho purpose of conferring power upsn
the governor to parole tho prisoner, and
consequently any prisoner outsldo of thu
penitentiary would be subject to arrest and
return to the penitentiary In the samr
manner as before this section become a
law. It Is therefore Improbable that any
tsct of tho law will ever be made on behalf
of a paroled prisoner.
I have been considerably Interested In
this law and its effects, Inasmuch as I
dratted it after the Ohio law, and Introduced
it in tho legislature In 1S93. Your very
truly, CHARLES A. GOSS.

MERCHANTS TAKE DISCOUNTS
Heady Cnali for 1'urelinaeM Didlentes
the I'roapernna Condition ot
Hurnl Kelirnakn.
Ono of the most attractive features ot
the wholesale business of Omaha at this
time Is tho fact that so many of the mer
chants who visit this city arc taking ad
vantage of all ot the discounts. At
this season of the year a Inrge per
centage of the goods .sold arc for
delivery in October. Wholesale houses,
In addition to other discounts, havo
In recent years offered special discounts
where money wns paid with orders on ad
vance sales and this season the majority
of the Nebraska merchants are taking ad
vantage of this offer.
Generally orders arc not as heavy as
they were at this tlmo last year, but there
aro many more merchants In the city and
the number of orders has materially In
creased. One ot tho Omaha bouses re
ports that the August business so far Is
in excess of the samo month any other
year since It has been In buslnets and that
It has received more visits from customers
than In any similar time.
Tho manager of another house says that
the class of goods taken out. particularly
In dry goods lines. Is better than ever be
fore sold to them and that whllo the aver
age size ot orders Is possibly not as large
as It was last season, the value ot the
trado has not decreased, the profits being
larger In the better grades. Merchants arj
now In a position to know the exact result
of the July business and without excep
tion they report that, In spite ot the ex
cessive heat, the business ot July, 1901,
was equal to the best July In previous
years.
Now that the country dealers have had a
chance to recover from ths panic produced
eiy tho Immediately apparent effects ot the
drouth, they find that the country was not
as badly damaged as they at first supposed.
Bert High, manager of the house of H. E.
Donsteel ft Co., at Niobrara, Is one of the
heavy buyers on the market. He says that
the country around Niobrara was prac
tically uninjured by the hot weather. Corn
will average fifty bushels to tho acre; hay
was never better, and small grain Is better
than the average.
C. II. Morgan of Hebron, a part of the
state given over to hard times by the pro
fessional crop reporters, says.-that tho
farmers of that section are In good shapo.
The corn is poor and will bo nowhere near
an avorage crop, but the small grain has
saved the country, as it was exceptionally
fine and the people believe that the shortage
of corn will carry tho price ot other grains
to a paint where It will bring as much
money Into the country as would coma un
der ordinary conditions.
