of tha Fidelity Mutual Ufa Insurance
company of Philadelphia refera to tha
sweeping Investigations of tha moat gigan
tie Ufa lnauranca companies of the United
States.
Mr. McKnlght la In Omaha. Ha talked
very hopefully of the lnauranca outlook
and aald conditions were good for pros
perity with the companies in general, in
spite of tha reaulta of the recent Investiga
tions. "The stability of any one of the big
companies never has yet been questioned,"
said Mr. McKnlght. "They are all per
fectly capable of fulfilling every contract
they have made. It is not a question of
stability which has aroused the public,
but one of administration. The millions
in funds of some of the companies evi
dently have been misapplied to the ad
vantage of the officers of the company and
the financial detriment of the policy hold

were before. When this Insurance house
cleaning is over, these companies will be
stronger anil better than they ever were
before, and belter still, they will be com
pelled to do their best by the policy holder,
Welcome the Investigations.
"A11 the companion which have been con

Come of, the companies whose affairs are
lu'lnj looked Into are doing less business
than they were, but the others, I think,
aro doing more. For our own company,
I can say October was the best month
of the year and much better than the
sam month of lust year.
"There ought to be more consideration
on tha part of state authorities for the
Interest of the policy holder," said Mr.
McKnlght. reierrlng to the exclusion of
the New York Life f-ora Missouri. "Every
thing done detrimental to the business of

who hold that company's policies. The
Missouri authorities ought to look to that
Their action, however, does not mean what
msny people suppose. It does not mean a
discontinuance of premium on policies
already issued and thereby a cancellation
of contracts; It means Only that the com

The Teacher's Salary.
OMAHA, Nov. U.-To the Editor
of The Bee: Heretofore I have studiously
avoided discussion of any question in the
public press. I cannot, however, resist the
inclination In this case to warmly commend
your Sunday's editorial on the subject of
Increasing the salaries of the grade teach
ers In the city school.
Next to their Influence In the home life
comes the contact In the school room, which
has tnoet to do with the child's proper
mental and moral development. Appreciat
ing the importance of this ' contact of
child and teacher, we have properly pro
vided a long term of preparation on the
part of all applicants for positions In our
rchouls, then offer them at the outset no
more net Income above living expenses
than the taxpayers of Omaha pay their ex
perienced household employes. The simple j
fact is that the beginning salary of teach
ers In Omaha schools would fall to secure
teachers except for the reason that they
ran board and room at their homee. Thla
'S an Injustice to the teacher, her parents
and the pupils for many of the best quali
fied' women seek other employment where
appreciation of their services finds ' ex
pression In adequate remuneration.
There Is no calling In life of educated
employment more taxing on the nerves or
more enervating to the system than that
of the faithful teacher, and in that case
at least, the "laborer is worthy of her
hire." I wish to commend your suggestion
of generosity to the teacher, In exchange
for which let us confidently expect gener-
' ous giving of herself and her accomplish
ments to the onoomlng citizens of Omaha.

Protest on the Sword Tax.
OMAHA. Nov. 13. To the Editor of
The Dee: The abolition of the sword tax,
as It may Justly be called, affecting cadets
of tha Omaha High school, would certainty
be looked upon with favor by the parents
of lesser means and the cadets who are
earning their own living while In school.
The graft consists of the present captain
collecting 60 cents from privates and tl
from officers of their company for the pur-
pone of buying a sword for his predecessor
snd expecting In turn for his generosity
a sword next year, and in order to be
classed among the generous It is best to
contribute to this 'charitable cause even
though he must deny himself to do so.
The writer has voiced the sentiment of
a majority of his comrades and finds that
many contribute reluctantly and not lur
any great appreciation for retiring exp
lains, whom many have never heard of
until they were asked to donate.
This custom should be discontinued, as
It means a sacrifice of many for the grati
fication of one. A CADET.
VOTE ON THESCH00L BOARD
Secretary Bargress Succeeds la Get
ting; Quorum to Canvass the
Vote.
By using the telephone for an hour and
threatening to call the police to net as an
escort, Secretary Burgess of the Board
Of Education auccceded In getting a quo
rum present last night U canvass the vote
oast st the recent election. Acting under
the provisions of the statutes, two dis
interested electors were appointed to make
the tabulations, James Rogers and A. A.
Crandell acted in this capacity. Tha total
vote for each of the six candidates was
as follows: Christie, 8,2i9; Cole, 8.244;
Detweller, 8.222; Kennedy, 8.2S6; Rice, 8,221;
Harding, 8.117. Harding lost 100 votes In
the fourth precinct of the Seventh ward,
and while the board thought this was
through an error of the clerks of election,
the votes could not be counted for him.
The amount of money to be paid the
clerks and Judges of election was referred
to the attorney for a report at the next
meeting.

Ths address of Ieon Zolotkoff of ChlcaaA
delegate to the International Zionist con
vention at Basel. Switzerland, delivered at
Creighton hall Monday evening, was lis
tened to by 4 large audience of both sexos
of Hebrews, resident of this city- anj
vicinity. Dr. Philip Sher acted as chair
man of the meeting, and in a brief address
introduced the speaker as one of the fore
most Zionists of this country, as well as a
man well versed In the law. In his re
marks Dr. Sher said:
It Is hardly to bo expected that nwny of
Us In America would care to leave this
country, because the flag Is too diar to us.
We can, however, ileplure with tears and
anguish the atrocities pe rpetrated upon our
race In barbarous Russia, and plead (or the
law of humanity in their helinlf, which is
even a higher law than that of property,
But crying can do the homeless, persecuted
Jkws of Hussia no good. We must raise
money to assist the Zionists in securing a
home somewhere for these homeless and
distressed of our race.
Pleada for Buffering Jews.
Dr. Sher then Introduced Mr. ZolotkolT.
who said In part:
t Wish to talk to you right at tha outset
and try to lay before you the best argu
ment that 1 can. that which Is best for our
oppressed people In Russia. We cannot re
frain from feeiing miserable over their
calamities and renect the gloom that per
vades the civilized world over the horrible
butcheries of the Jews in that Ood-aceurwil
land. Tney arc of our llesh and our bono
and we will have to go deep Into our
Dockets for their rrlief. Are tnese perse
cutions to be the dawn of a new liberty
like unto Aurora rising from the ocean, but
In reality a people rising from a river of
blood? it is a question that only Zionists
can answer. No matter what be the cause
for the advancement of liberty, the Jew
must be slain, and 1 fear that in two
months from now even these massacres will
be forgotten. Yet the time will come when
the killing off of Jews for pastime will
cease. They tell us that the Zionists are
speaking In the language of vesterdav. bui
this Is not the talk of wise men. Our short
sightedness causes us to err In our Judg
ment. Zionists say that there is a part of the
Jewish race that does not want to le ex
tinguished, but that it may live nd be
come useful. The rights of every Individ
ual are bounded by his neighbor. So it is
'with nations. The Zionist seeks to take
up the broken thread of Jewish history
and to restore the Jewish nation m Its old
home In Palestine. We have watted 2.000
years and can wait a little longer. Be
cause we are nationless we are helpless.
We are a peoplo without a home and
without a national credit. As a nution we
could not borrow a dollar, whatever we
might borrow as' an individual. Zionism
not a new thing. It is centuries old.
old as the Jewish people, but the seventh
Zionist convention, held at Basel. Swttxer
land, Is comparatively a new movement.
t was made up truly or a body or jews
from all over the world.
Nationality of the Jews.
The Zionists put the question squarely
before you, is your nationality worth pre
serving? Zionism has but recently cre
ated the Jewish Colonial hank with 230.000
peoplo back of It. It is for Israel, for a
Jewish national fund. We have also issued
penny stamp to add to this lund for
the purpose of buying land In Palestine
on which to establish the nucleus for our
ew national lite and furnish a .home for
ewlsh people. We - have accomplished
much in the past seven or eight years, and
could accomplish more with your help.
but you do not seem to care to give us
that help. Palestine can support 6.0UO.0O0
people. Those who desire to remain In
America, Germany, and France can do so,
but let those go who desire to perfect a
Jewish nationality and resume our his
tory after a lapse of '-a.OOO' vears.' The
Greeks, Roumanians r and Macedonians
nave, established nationalities within the
past century, and why, .cannot the Jew
with his fruaalltv. tiride. talent Itlii en.

and take his place among the nations of

Mr. Zolotkoft's address was delivered
nrst in English, after which he spoke
briefly In the Jewish tongue. M. Levy and
Harry Zlmman, both of Omaha, spoke
briefly, endorsing the utterances of the
principal speaker, after which the meeting
closed.

BOOZE WILL NOT GO AS WAIL
Old Man with Generous Supply Tries
To Pend Bottle Throng h
Fostofllee.
A venerable stranger, evidently In a mel
low mood, undertook to send a bottle of
beer away by mall at the Omaha postoflW
Sunday afternoon. He had imbibed so
much of the Gambrinlan fluid that his
charity was boundless and he thought a
friend at Pa pillion would enjoy a bottle, sj
he put double the price of It In stamps on
the bottle and started to deposit it In the
package delivery department of the post
offlce. Watchman Shugart told him It
wouldn't go, and so the old fellow waddled
out of the office. But In descending the
steps he slipped on a match or cigar stub
and the bottle fell from his hands and was
broken, spilling the contents on the side
walk. The old fellow remarked as he
viewed the wreck:
"That doggoned thing cost me a quarter,
and I put 50 cents worth of stamns on it,
and now look at it. I'm out 76 cents and a
dollar's worth of fun. And , Pave is out

"While the bonds were defeated and
there Is no money with which to pay for
