Developments show that behind the move, ment to aeparata the girls and boya attend ing tha State university Into different room lna bouses ia that all-powerful factor be hlud moat movements commercialism. It la a simple story. The old Grand hotel waa bought by parlies not connected with tha Beatrice. The query, "Needs of Nebraska Towns," may be answered In two waya, whether ap plied to one'a own town or to the town of another. If to our own. wa might not care to plead poverty In the necessities Ibnked for by prospective resident. Most of ua living In tha west have, pVrhapa, learned to be ao economical of the truth In presenting the advantages of our own that when a great newspaper like The Bee, which goes to the ends of the railroads, then takes the mule train and keeps on circulating ad flnltum, kindly Invites ua ta come out Into the open and own to to be thankful' for that, lest I be thrown over the garden wall, must admit that we are getting along pretty well with the things we have.

In addition to the long-distance telephone sys tem. It has also a new electric light plant, a flour mill with a capacity of about seventy-five barrels per day, a canning fac tory with a capacity of W.000 cans of corn per day. There are also three grain ele vators, two lumber yards, a brick yard, three hotels, two banking houses and be tween forty and fifty other lines of busi ness well represented. There are five church societies, the Meth odist, the Baptist, the Presbyterian, the Christian and the Swedish Lutheran, each of which has a fine church edifice. In ad dition to the churches, the city has a fine opera house, owned Jointly by the lode pendent Order of Odd Fellows and Ancient Order of United Workmen orders. The shipments of grain and etock from Edgar will ehow that It la one of the best, If . not the best, shipping point In the state.

Some of the towns of which Beatrice for tunately Is not one, or If so, only In a mild degree, needs a catapult, not of great capacity, but of great power, that will pick up the kicker and the chronic grumbler and land him so far outside the townalte that he will not be able to get back In time to hear Gabriel blow hla horn. Cltliens of Nebraska, In order to enjoy life with their mora fortunate fellows, the farmer, need better rates on lumber and coal. House building for the man In mod erate circumstances Is almost out of tha question, while If successful In building. Is difficult to warm with the scanty funds at hand. If he Is a wage worker or upon a salary. The dollar seems so much smaller than It formerly did. The towns need a taxpayers' league to see that each pays his share; to know that express, telephone, telegraph.

The free school system Is now In the hands of school superintendents best fellows In the world but they have drifted the achools a long way from orig inal moorings. School tax Is becoming a burden to the taxpayer, but of this he does not complain so much, but the fact that the graded school does not do relatively for the pupil that which the country school does. The farmer boy. when he quits his mm husklna at Christmas for a tew months In the graded town school Is sur prised and gratified to learn that he can spell better, write better, rend better and Is a little better In arithmetic and trammer than his town brother of like age, though he Is a long way behind on fads and fancy movements. The recent atate law making of the high achool a normal for the purpose of educating teachers and bringing In pupil from without the county and state to tha hirh achool to engage the attention of growth. All buslnesa and dwelling noun that have been built during the paBt four or five years have been of a very suDstan iirI character, aa well as ornamental. Great care haa also been taken In building the walks, and Edgar can now boaat of more than alx mllea of elegant brick and cement walks. Edgar has unusually good mall facilities there being eight malls dally, and any part of the United Statea can be quickly com municated with either by mall, telephone or telegraph. What Edgar and this aectlon of Ne knvi nnrttcularlv need are the means for using the vast producta that annually . .oat An alfalfa mtu in tne miusi thirteen blocks" pnved thla year with brick on a concrete foundation.

Arthur May Knapp. editor of the Dally Advertiser of Yokahama. arrived on the 8iberla from the Orient yeaterday. Asked about the Impression created In Japan by the Japanese school exclusion In San Francisco, he said he did not think It had or would ultmlately lessen the cor diality of the entente existing between Japan and the United States. "The matter haa attracted much attention and been discussion extensively in the vernacular press of Japan." he said, "but the Impression at Toklo when I left was that it was purely a local matter and waa confined to San Francisco. No one believes that the United States wlahes to discrim inate against Japanese. "Foreigners In Japan believe that the Japanese will attempt to divert transporta tion from San Francisco to the other coast points. Neither form of boycott Is be lieved to be contemplated. The foreigners, I might add, are unable to understand the attitude of San Francisco In the matter. From a purely tradevlew point they think San Francisco Is making a mistake." Knapp said the Manchurlan question was overshadowed by tbe constantly growing Importance of the Corean problem and that the latter was the big thing In Japan at the present time.
