Gilbert Owns t'p.
Slr, William Gilbert jmade naive con
fession recently at the Wealdstone Petty
sessions. He had before him the case of
alleged assault on one of his scholars by a
schoolmaster who believed Blrongly In the
"RnurA thn rod and 8 Doll the child.
As evidence of character the boy's quarter!
report vn put in, which broujht from Sir
William the confession ' that .Ire did not
bava euch a good . report at the boy's age,
and that he had been birched many times,'
but never had the' pleasure of examining
the results. Sir William was educated at
a private school at . Ea.llng and London
university. He was called to the Bar, but
Old not practice, and Immediately after
ward launched in play writing, which has
made hla name and fame of .world-wide
Interest.
Form ef hoyal Cypher.
Hla majesty has now sanctioned the form
of the royal cypher and crown which are to
b engraved or ; embroidered upon service
uniforms Insteud of the Edwardian mono
gram. The designs present a very hand
some, effect, while every effort has
been made to secure simplicity and In' that
ray to avoid needless expense. ' Tho tudor
crown, which vu restored by the late king,
la retained, so that no change in this part
of the design will be needed. This means
mora than meets the eye, becuuse there are
occasions on which the crown Is used upon
service buttons and. shoulder strops with
out the Initial of the reigning sovereign
while there are, of course, lurge numbers
of Illuminating devices In the hands of the j
olubs and west End tradesmen In whlcn the
British crown forms the chief feature. To
require these, to be altered, especially in
view of the other expense that will be In
curred later on in connection with the
conation, would have been something of ai
burden,
Welsh Students Win.
It la not often that one hears of domestic
servants and colliers ambitious enough to
go in for a university degree, and, what
la more, to succeed with honors. Among
those who have Just gained the B. A. de
pee of the University of Wales Is a young
lady whose early eilucution was obtained
At a small elementary "school in the re
motest ' corner of Carmarthenshire. After
. leaving school .she . took, service", as ' a
domestio servant, and acted In that capacity
for some time, before .she was able, .t unre
al) me her studies and proceed to the uni
versity college at Bangor.
The recent B.- Sc. list of the Welsh uni
versity contain the name . of .' a young
Welshman ' who worked as a collier for
aeveral year.. ' By dint of , hard private
atudy he passed the' matriculation examina
tion, and then won amlnlng. scholarship,
which ha held for four years at the Cardiff
university college. He has now been ap
pointed to a lucrative post'as lecturer tn
mining and surveying in a Chinese college
at Tlensln.: , ; ' " ' ,
With such Instance as these one can
understand the ' point of a remark once
nad. by the late Sir. Lewis. Morris that
when the fuU romance of Welsh education
1 written it will read like a. fairy tale.
That German cities are better governed
than other cities probably is due to the
fact that the German people are thoroughly
imbued with military Ideas of discipline
and obedience. They obey Instantly and
without cavilling fhe slightest command of
the omnipresent and omniscient police of
ficer. They never set personal liberty to do
as they please above their duty to the
community as a whole. They ara willing
in civic lire and In the capacity of cittxen
to sacrifice private gain for public profit.
Just as they are willing in military life In
the capacity of soldiers to lay down their
lives for the nation. German thinkers de
clare that this condition is the result of
universal military training. 'Whether it is
or not, it Is certain that no such condition
Is even remotely poFslble in America.
In a German municipality every law and
regulation. Important or trivial. Is enforced
to the .letter. There Is no nullification of
the law by common consent, and there Is
no pu retinae of Immunity by bribing of of
ficers. The law Is the law, a police regu
lation Is a police regulation, and no of
ficer of the government is permitted to
temper the severity of a statute by an ad
mixture of magisterial mercy. It is In the
little things that the harshness of this sys
tem I most apparent, but the Germans do
not complain of an exact administration of
the regulations which would precipitate a
riot in any American town within a week.
For instance. It is forbidden to water
flowers except between' .the hours of 4 and
& o'clock in the morning- it is forbidden .to
practice, or to play, the piano before 7- In
the morning or after at night'; it is for
bidden to air bedding by hanging It out of
the front wimlotvs; It is forbidden to sing,
shout or -whistle on the streets; it -is for
bidden' for a woman to wear a. cloak or
cape into a theateri . It Is forbidden for
anyone to get on -a street car which , is
filled; It is forbidden for a pedestrian to
obstruct the way. ofi a carriage or auto
mobile; In short',., the'-word 'verboten" Is
the sign, manual , of 'pie German, municipal
regulations. Some of the,, trivial Inhibi
tions mentioned above' are instituted by
landlords, ami not by the city government,
but as the policemen' wilj assist' the land
lord in enforcing observance of the rules
of the house cn the part of the' tenant, the
practical result' Is the same. ' ! ' . ;
The complaint of an American sojourner
that this; multiplicity.) of , Regulation so
rigidly enforced deprives,: hi in. , of his per
sonal 1 liberty Is1 Incomprehensible' to the
German - mind. The German replies that
these reguratlons guarantee 4ilm hla liberty,
since they atuie him thtt his clothing will
not be bespattered by waterVfrom upstairs
window boxes: that ha may go to sleep,
and may stay In-bed late without fear ot
being awakened by pianos In the Chouses or
singing and shouting on the streets; that
his. lire Is not endangered, by having, to
sti.mble over women's' wrap 1 the theater
gets on fire; that he Is certain of a seat
lti the street ear and no one may crowd
him there; that if he drives abroad the
pedestrian must keep out of his 'way and
therefore not Involve .him in damage suits,
and so oh. ' " '. . '.. . ,'
He says that he prefer to aubordtnate his
passing whima and to obey . these regula
tions and tuelr Ilk., in. order that he and
all the other- people, of the' cominuntty may
obtain" the proteetl6n from annoyance 'and
danger-which the' cod ia designed ta give,
and which cant be obtained only by Insist
ing upon strict 'and universal obedience to
the m,' regulation's: U - Is InipoaMble for the
German- to understand the American point
vt-,ylew( ,wjth regard to' uch thlngfl as
Usee,!-M..!ij.-''-,--:.?'. ' 'fJWfi'i
; But: .It. must, hot be' thought that the
Germans will submit tamely to regulations
which do not meet their approval. If an
attempt were made to Introduce into Ger
many puritanical regulations such as form
the chief stumbling block ' of American
police administrations, the result .would be
disastrous. The Germans would not permit
any Interference , with their right to buy
beer wherever and whenever they please,
nor would they tolerate any legislation re:
striding- their freedom of choice' of amuse
ment or refreshment 'on Sunday. That
American . cities do usually make more or
!cf effort to restrict personal liberty in
this respect eaflses the' German to argue
that the utrtct police regulation he knows
Is In fact much more ll'oerai.tnan the' lax
enforcement of "law in America the differ
ence being in the character of the leglsla- i
Hon.
Of the sphere of German municipal
activity Just above that of ordinary police
regulations, no American can find fault.
The German muntelrsllty sometimes has
to deal with the narrow, streets and In
sanitary buildings Inherited from its an
cient ancestors, but even tn the oldest part
of the oldest towns, the streets are well
paved and dean. In the new cities, and In
the new quarters of the old cities, the
streets are kept up In Ideal fashion, and
they are Just as well paved, and Just as
clean, and Just as well shaded In those
sections of the city where the poor work
ing man lives as they are In the fashion
able quarter. There Is no discrimination
In favor of the wealthy.
The building regulations are the best ever
devised, since they are Intelligently en
forced, and since they take Into occount
safety, sanitation ard beauty. Every houre
rm:st be of practically fireproof construc
tion, It must be strong enough to obviate
any possible danger of collapse, It must
be constructed with every possible sanitary
precaution, ard It must not mar the sv
metrical beauty of the street. If It Is to
be a factory there, must he air enough
and light enough for every workman. If
It Is to be a store there mint be a suf
ficient amount of light, entrances and exits
in plenty, sanitary accommodations, both
for customers and employes, and the like.
If It Is to be a tenement house for factory
worker?, it must ' be constructed In ac
cordance with law which guarantee to the
tenant the same blessings of llftlit. air
and sanitary conveniences possessed by
his richer brethren. The building law are
enforced by the ordinary police, ss well
as by a special corps of technically trained
Inspectors, and ' curiously, enough In the
eyes pf an American,' the Inspection Is
made cacti day, and not after the building
has been finished: and -.has collapsed.,
municipally owned lines. The Gei-man city
operates It street car line at a profit, usu
ally of from S to H per cent upon the actual
cash capital Invested In the purchase, ex
tension and maintenance of the plant. The
political, questions arising out of the rela
tions between the city government and the
public service corporations which continu
ally embroil American municipal politic,
simply do not exist In German town.

ren; now the Americans are beginning to
Imitate them. Every city ha It. play
grounds for children, and It athletic fields
for grown people, as well a. free munici
pal club houses for those too old or too
laay to play games. There are street In
German cities which may be used only by
roller skaters. There are walks sacred to
pedestrians. There are bridle paths which
may be used only by horseback riders.
There are carriage ways closed to all but
those who wish to drive horse. There
are speedways closed to every vehicle but
motor cars. There are municipally owned
beer gardens and moving picture shows.
The German municipality looKs after the
pleasure of Its citizens, no less than after
their safety, and health. .

but every hour of every day. In Ber
lin, for Instance, there Is no such thing as
bad milk. Every quart sold has been
scientifically tested. There was an in
spector at the dairy In the country, and
another at the market station when the
milk arrived In the city. The cans were
sealed and only the government could un
seal them. And In this work of Inspection
the government has the hearty and honert
co-operation of the dairymen. The hbbatolr
are municipally controlled, and often are
owned by the city. The markets are prac
tically always under Immediate police su
pervision. There are no public service corporations.
The general government own and operate
the telephones; the city owns and operates
Its water plant. Its lighting plant and all
Its rapid transit facilities. There are still a
few German cities where the street car
lines are owned by. private .companies, but
they are exceptional and. even they are subn
Ject. to the same regulations, controlling
German city now has better street railway
service, "better street lighting. Inferior
water service, and very much Inferior tele
phone service than Is possessed by the
average American city. Hut the German
cities have no problem of graft.
Judged by concrete results the German
theory of municipal government I better
than similar theories of other countries. In
that when put Into practice the German
theory enable the German people to ac
complish their expressed desires. Other
systems have not been so successful.

Splendid Dining Room Sets '
Very many of the homes' in Omaha, South Omaha and the
country which have such pretty dining rooms were furnished
by us. We have a very large stock of dining room furniture, in
all the various finishings which we1 sell and deliver in Omaha
and South Omaha at 20 below the price charged in Omaha.
That means a saving of $10 on a $50 purchase, and so on in
proportion. Don't you think you had better investigate our
offerings. All South Omaha cars pass our . door. Take a ridg
down here this week.
YouVonderVhy Our
Prices Are So Low?
There is only one reason for this con
' dltlon. It's no secret. We make just
I as much profit on a dollar sale as the
house In Omaha that charges you $20.00
for what you purchase here for only
$15.00. You are not being robbed In
Omaha the merchant up there charged
you a price that leaves him only a legiti
mate profit. He can't help It' because
he must charge you more. It's the high
rents and, high operating expnsfs that he
Is forced to add to your bill. . Hard coal
Is $10.50 per ton here.' At the minej
the cost lsbut a trifle. It's freight
rates that makes it expensive. In the
furniture business it's high rents.
The furniture Is just the same. We
can sell you anything that you can pur
chase in Omaha. - We ran sell it 20 per
cent cheaper because our expenses are
so much lower.
You can take advantage ot these, low
expenses and the resultant saving by re
questing a transfer from any Omaha car
to any South Omaha car (they all pa?s
our door) and riding a few minutes
longer. If your purchase Is only $10.00
you can save $2.00. That' certainly
worth while, isn't it?
