Macfarland, for Tears a I'ramlnrnl Llaeeln Bailarii Mas, Diva ait Lou Aacrln, Calllorala. . (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, April 10. (Special.) Super intendent Fowler declare that be It in favor of longer terms for district acboot superintendents throughout the state. He says: "The election of a superintendent for a term of three year tends to make the pro fession of teaching more desirable, because less precarious, and therefore retains in the profession the services of the most competent perrons, and In my opinion the legislature very wisely left the matter to the sound discretion of the bosrd. It may be urged that In some instances the authority to employ's superintendent for two or three yesrs may be used to forestall the action of tbe newly elected members or .to defeat the will of tbe people, but since only one-tbird of tbe members go out at a time, the danger Is not very great when compared with the advantages. Every power Vested In public officials Is liable to. abuse. Official Integrity of pub lic officers Is properly presumed. A desire on their part for the prosperity of the schools whose affairs they manage and a proper regard fur the rights and opinions of the Incoming members of the board can In most cases be relied upon with confi dence."

He has come to the United States to discuss plans for an exhibition of aerial navigation with tbe managers of tbe St. Louis exposition and will be In the country for three weeks. Engagements In England during the coro nation of King Edward require that he re eross the Atlantic by that time, but It the necessary arrangements can be made he will return here In July or August for either a race with a rival or an exhibition. That he might be prepared for a visit this summer, he has shipped his latest built airship No. 7 to thle country, and will have It made ready for use. He will do no flying during the present visit to the country.

"I hope to see New York the principal air port of the world before I pass away," said he, "I have no doubt but that In mv time, perhaps ten years. It I get the proper encouragement and help, aerial navigation will bo an accomplished fact. I have no doubt but that I will live to see passen gers transported by airship across the At lantic from New York to Paris. "I have not patented my airship In this country and I do not Intend to. I want other men to take my ideas and Improve on them If they can. If the St. Louis ex position takes place next year. It Is pos sible that nobody but myself would be ready to enter a race ot alrsbjps, but If It takes place two years from now, I am sure there would be other entrlea. I have great hope for the future ot the airship. "You are doing some excellent work here in the United States and your pro fessor, S. P. Langely, Is one of the great est men In the field. This Is the country, too, In which It should be taksn up." As Deutschland noared Nantucket Santos-Dumont attempted to send the fol lowing message ashore: "I bow to the greatest country la tbe world."

Spring Time N is Moving Time The Best Offjce Building Moving Is not pleasant to think about except when the prospect of a handsome office Is In prospect. You have to get up a certain amount of steam to move, even when you are driven to desperation by poor Janitor work, wretched elevator ser vice and offices that have been long In need ot paint as well as soap and water. The Bee Building always looks fresh" and attractive because It Is never allowed to get out of repair. This together with efficient Janitor service make It a pleasant place to do business. Besides this the rents are no higher than In other buildings. R. C. Peters 6t Co RENTAL AGENTS, Ground Floor, Bee Building.
