Originator of
"Mother's Day"
Visits Omaha
Miss Anna' Jarvii of Philadelphia
Stops Here for Few Honrs
and Praises State.
Miss Anna Jarvls of Philadelphia, the
founder of the widely celebrated and appre
ciated "Mother's day," spent a few. hours
In Omaha Friday stopping on her way to
the west and a visit to Yellowstone park to
express her pleasure over the way Ne
braska has shown Its Interest in the day.
Especially was it her desire to thank the
newspapers for the way in which they have
fostered the Idea fit observing the second
Sunday In May aa a day in which tribute
Bhould be paid to mothers.
"It la really," she saya, "the newspapers
Which have spread the Idea and It has been
carried by them almost all over the world.
The other day 1 received from Sydney,
Australia, a letter telling of the observance
there."
Mlsa Jarvls spoke enthusiastically of the
way in which Nebraska haa observed the
day and waa especially pleased that Ne
braska's governor was one of the twenty
governors who this year Issued the procla
matlon for the observance ot the day.
The observance was Instituted three yeara
ago and that It struck a chord ot popular
sentiment la clearly evidenced by the uni
versal adoption of Its symbol, the white
tarnation. It was Miss Jarvls' love for her
own mother, Mrs. Anna M. Jarvls, and a
desire to Institute a memorial for her which
was the primary motive, but this grew
until it became a wish to honor motherhood
and a patriotic eagerness to remind the
nation of the mothers' part in its history."
"We have no days," Miss Jarvls reminds
one, "set aside to commemorate woman's
part In our country's life."

RED SQUIRREL ARRIVES
OVER THE BOX CAR ROUTE
Haa Take a l' Ills Reslaeaee with
tae Job a Deer Plow
Compear.
"A la box car" traveling methods are
generally used only by those who are
obliged to travel In that manner, but
Bobble came to Omaha In that way because
he couldn't help himself.
Bobble Is a red squirrel, with a long
bushy tall and the most inquisitive nose
In Omaha, and his present residence is at
the John Deere Plow company on Ninth
and Harney streets. He arrived there two
days ago and since then hits Indicated
that he will take up permanent residence
In that neighorliood.
The only explanation that can be given
for the presence of a squirrel there Is that
he must have come In on a boic car of
aootls to the warehouse, and as he was
Wlrst seen coming out of a corner of one
this seems the most plausible cause.
SCHOOL HOUSES MADE READY
All Will Be Fumigated and Thor
oughly Overhauled.
TEACHERS ARE RETURNING
Schools Opea One Week from Tues
day and a Laxge Attendance la
Expected Entrance Ex
aminations Next Week.
The health of the Omaha school children
la to be watched with special care this
fall, and when the school opens September
6, every building in the city will have been
recently fumigated and overhauled. An
order to this effect waa Issued by the
health commissioner, and D. F. Findlayson,
superintendent of buildings for the Board
of Education, wljl complete the work it
posblble before the buildings are occupied.
This precaution is an annual one at this
time of year, although the quarters of
the school children are always fumigated
in the spring when they are cleaned. It
has always been the custom in Omaha
when a' contagious disease breaks out in
any achool to have the pupils notified and
sent home. They are told Just what Is
wrong and what precautions are being
taken to prevent the spreading of the
disease. This frankness assures the parents
that care Is exercised and prevents any
feeling that the sanitary measures are
not open to the criticism and examination
ot anyone concerned.
There were two small epidemics of scar
let fever last spring, one of them in Clif
ton Hill and one in Lothrop school, but
they were effectually checked before many
were exposed.
Teachers who have been abroad and
traveling about the country for their
vacations have begun to return In prepara
tion for the opening, a week from next
Tuesday. Examinations for entrance to
the high school will be held the latter
part ot next week at the high school build
ing, and at some date to be announced,
additional examinations will be held for
the studenta who want to enter some of
the lower grades and have not the proper
credentials.
There are a number of foreign students
who will begin their regular school work
September 6, after a summer spent In the
night schools and the special classea for
teaching English to beginners. Some of
these atudents are well educated In- their
own tongues, and have only to learn some
acquaintance with the new speech In order
to take a place in the higher grades or
the high school. Others are beginning their
educations over here and must start at
the bottom.

A Veteran's Protest.
GREELEY CENTER, Neb., Aug. 24. To
the Editor of The Bee: My attention has
been recently called to an article In the
National Tribune of Washington, D. C,
which is said to come from Eli Torrence,
a former commander of the Grand Army of
the Republic. I read the statements of
Past Commander Torrence not only In won
der and surprise, but with astonishment
and disgust. His statements are substan
tially a full and complete Indorsement from
the beginning to the end of the so-called
opinion of Wlckersham on the subject of
the Lee statue In the capltol at Washing
ton, D. C. A statement ot this char
acter coming from a man who haa held the
high and honorable position he has held
In the Grand Army of the Republic is so
utterly inconsistent and absurd In view of
the real and true facta in the case as to
become plainly ridiculous. It looks some
what strange Indeed and curiously mys
terious to say the least. Was Torrence
really and truly an aotlve soldier in the
field, and on the battle line? If he was
then I am aorry tor him Indeed. He la to
be pitied. He Is unfortunate and haa my
most sincere and heartfelt sympathy. If
Comrade Torrence Is not entitled to our
sympathy as it now appeara he Is then
It Is passingly strange that he cannot see
and understand that Robert E. Lee was
I the greatest and most dishonorable traitor
that our country ever had. No man who haa
ever lived is responsible for more blood
shed than this same Robert E. Lee. I chal
lenge any man on earth to show me to
the contrary If he can. Benedict Arnold
waa but a mild and insignificant traitor aa
compared with Lee,
No, my dear comrades, it Is not true, as
Comrade Torrence says "It is our duty to
forget the bitterness of the strife." No, no,
this is not true, my comrades, because it
is beyond the power of human nature to
do so, particularly those of us still living
whose blood stained the battlefields ot
our country and while we are dally and
constantly being reminded of that "bitter
strife." We can forgive, but never forget.
We have long since forgiven and many of
us would like to forget, but we are not
permitted to do so it wa could, while monu
ments to such enemies of our country aa
Wlrs and Lee are being made and placed
before us and the flag of our one time
enemies is being flaunted in our faces.
For God's sake, how can e forget? It
would not make one particle of difference
If Lee's statue was placed In the capltol at
Washington In civilian dress. The effect
and meaning would be Just exactly the
same. It is placed there to honor a man
who has dishonored his own name and his
own and our country. It Is not only a false,
blind and wicked sentiment, but It Is a
monumental Insult and disgrace to our
more than l.OuO.WO brave and noble dead
comrades and a subject of pain, suffering
and torture to the few of us sUll living.
For the sake of our many dear old com
rades past and gone, whom we loved so
well and who fought so bravely by our
sides and sometimes carried ua from the
bloody fields of battle, let us do all in our
power during our now short time on earth
to prevent this bold, audacious, monumental
disgrace to our comrades and cur dearly
bought and much beloved country.

Spain and the Vatican.
OMAHA, Aug. 26. To the Editor of
The Bee. We do not wonder, when we see
writers In this country misrepresenting
the situation between Spain and the Vat
ican. It is now a well-known fact that
all Catholic news coming to thla country
passes through the hands of the French
Freemason bunch at Paris, known aa the
L' Internationale. There It la twisted,
the truth is suppressed and lies circu
lated. It la no wonder then If Ameri
cans, depending as they do on those
biased sources, entertain false notions of
the position of the Vatican.
canaiejaa, we are told, will build the
government of Spain on modern and
enlightened sentiment. He will enforce
liberty of conscience so dear to Ameri
can hearts. Liberty, but It will be a
liberty similar to that proclaimed In
Franca by Ex-Premier Clemencau and
Premier Brland, a liberty like unto that
which urged Ferrler and his followers to
turn the civil riots at Barcelona last year
Into a fierce onslaught agalnat Catholic
churches and nunneries.
Canalejaa has not openly declared his
alliance with the masons, anarchists and
other dangerous elements In Europe, but
we may gather from the praises which
these bodies sliowar on him, that they
look with an auspicious eye on his policy.
They urge him to break with the Vatican.
They want an open rupture between the
Holy See and the Vatican. Uals they
think, will weaken the power of Rome
over Spanish Catholics. It remains to
be seen whether Catholic Spain will have
auch a measure, whether Spanish Oath-
ollcs will allow themselves to be goaded
by Canalejaa and a few liberals.
Canalejaa haa taken his first step by
breaking the Concordat of 1861, Both
parties, the Vatican and the Spanish
government promised to be faithful to
the provisions of this Concordat and in
case of any disagreement or difficulty.
they promised to come to a friendly un
derstandlng.
Before the Premler'a coming Into
power, negotiations had been pending
for the revision of the Concordat, and
they promised to end In a manner satis
factory to Rome and Madrid. Canalejaa
began by making it known that he In
tended to impose some legal strictures
on religious orders. The Vatican de
clared Its Intention of taking the. matter
Into consideration, but Canalejaa would
not wait. The Concordat of 1861 wus
ruthlessly Lrokon. The minister sub
Jected the religious order to the defunct
Arsoc ation Law of 1887, and allowed
non-Catnollcs to display their emblems
In public. These decrees may have very
little meaning In themselves. They
might, we will grant, have been msde in
the Interests of progress. Justice and
J llberalltjr, but la Uie precent Instance
they were most unjust since, they were
made In violation of a contract, without
any reference tq the other party ' concerned.
It la hard for an American citizen to
understand tha relatione between church
and state in a Catholic country. In thla
country each of them work In its own
sphere. The churcn is free to do lta own
work. It haa very little relations with
the atate. In Cathollo countries the
church and atate ara mutually depend
ent. They have certain agreements with
one another which have the binding
force of any contract of any mutual
agreement between two powers.

Nebraakans In Canada.
OMAHA, Aug. 23. To the Editor of The
Bee: Will you allow me a little of your
valuable space?
Is it true that so many return from
Canada? It isn't true In the Tramping
Lake district. There Is a prosperous
colony. I know the leaders In It. They
have 160,000 acrea of land. They had an
option on it and sold to Lutherans only.
It is In the third year. One family re
turned to Nebraska, being homesick. They
com from many states. They are gen
erally fully satisfied. Most of them have
greatly prospered. This Is In Sask. In
Alberta it may be different Some of the
Lutherana have acquired more in ithree
years than in all their past Nor Is the
climate very strenuous. All my friends are
fully satisfied. Truth ought to be known.
