Every citizen of Omaha ahould be made to realise that in changing to the cotumissloa plaa of city govern ment aa experiment Is to be under taken on which will depend most vital consequences. Will the experiment paa out? The answer to that question must await results, but certain prerequisites are essential to success. The first duty devolves upon tbe citlxens tbemselves to choose with sound Judgment those who are to ad ioUtcjrtthe government under tbe nv jlaw. The best selections may prove a disappointment, but still that chance will not warrant the assump tion of unnecessary risk by awarding tbe responsible positions of commis- aioner to Incompetenta or disreputa bles, or aa sinecures or pensions for misfits usable to make a living other wise. The Inspiration behind the adop tion of the commission plan of city gdterameat was the uaiversal desire for a more efficient management of our municipal affairs, and for a cleaner municipal housekeeping. There was ao Idea of merely enlarg ing, the powers of existing officers. nor of ', rewarding present officials with larger salaries for the same work.' 8omewfaere the expectation lurks that concentrated authority and commensurate compensation will draw out a higher grade of men for these olBces sad bring to the taxpay ers more Intelligent and more effec tive service, t'nless this expectation Is met, at least In part, the innova tion will not be wholly satisfactory, though It may be some Improvement on what we now have. .Every specu lation, on (he outcome, therefore, re solves Itself back to the Initial need bf gott lag good men' to run for com nilmlonersi and then selecting tha best and most capable to conduct the experiment. - ' . K A Stlnaiot of. the West In a current tnagaxlne article Prof. Edward .A. Ross calls attention to what he dominates a "delusion of the west,' consisting of tbe wholly Imaginary - belief , that tbe west, or rather, middle-west. Is grow ing much faster tbaa the . east Analysis of the census figures falls to bear out this assumption, which Prof. Ross ascribes la origin to tha fact that tha center'ot population baa moved steadily westward since the beginning of the republic along with tbe settlement of previously unoccu pied territory. But this movement, he tells us, baa covered a distance In tbe last two decades hardly worth measuring, with the fair prospect tbst tbe neat census will disclose that It Is aow actually receding. Accepting this Idea of taster growth In population' to be a detusloa pf tha west, not much harm can en sue as long as there la steady growth, though the eut may be populating the faster In Its great eitlea. Tbe stream of Immigration Into the mid dle-west up to this time has coma wholly from the east, aad the tempta tioa of newcomers to tarry where they Drat land la quite understanda ble. The time seems to be fsst ap proaching, bowevsr, when the tide of Immigration will be divided and the Inflow, la tha extent that It continues. will come from tbe south and west.

The highway project should not stand in the way of the monument, which ia quite within reach. The Proposed Liaoola Memorial Having made aa appropriation of 2,000,000 under the spell of the Lincoln centenary for a memorial to the martyred president, congress Is confronted with the necessity of de ciding the form which tie memorial ahall take. Two projects are being nrged, one for the construction and maintenance of a national highway from Washington to Gettysburg as a sort of automobile boulevard from capital to battleBeld, aad tbe other an art monument aa part of the architectural setting of the mall la Washington connecting . tbe capital aad tbe Washington monument, eventually to be flanked with public buildings la the parkway.' Tbe pro posed monument baa the backing and approval of the American Society of Architects and tbe Find Arte council, mad of leading painter, sculp tors, archltacta and landscape de signers, aa well as of the Commission of Fme Arts, which is aa advisory official body.' - ;s i As between tbe memorial roadway and the structural monument, we be-! lieva the-latter1 will appeal much mofte strongly to the general public, j The love of aK and architectural beauty' to spreading very rapidly in tala country, and the embellishment of the national' capita) as aa example and encoorngement to the artistle de velopment of aU oar cities has aa la-auewce-toeroad.tha limits of tbe in habitants f ta city of Washington, and the large number who visit there, a.humber which la growing, and will eontiau to grow from year to year. The idea of a national highway Is not to be deprecated, but wheat it cornea It should be really natloaal. eventu ally 'completing the who! transcoa- Gtt-Iith-Ouick Swindle. No other agency or collection of agencies is as effective In meting out punishment aad as a deterrent aa the activities of tbe Postofoce department In prosecuting fraudulent use of tbe malls. The' report of the bureau Is charge of this branch of the postal business gives an estimate of $7 .- eoe.004 as the sum filched from gul lible people by various swindling de vices In the last five- yea re. This sum embraces only the concerns ac tually caught la tbe act of using the mails to defraud and takes no ac count o aa 'equally large multitude of swindlers who carefully avoid tbe mall routes la search of victims. The magnitude of tbe awlndllog business and the undiminished crop of victims emphsslzes a pertinent feature of the bureau report. Tbe postal authorities have no means' of checkmating a swindling game at the start In most instances a swindling game proceeds unmolested for years, owing to the reluctance of victims to appear aa romplalnanta and admit their gullibility. I lance tbe swin dlers obtain vast sums before the postal authorities obtain sufficient evidence to warrant arrest and seiz ure. No method Is suggested, for ob viating this difficulty. Apparently initial action. If taken at all, must be taken by state aad local authorities. Two laws In force In Kansas and Nebraska afford effective means of checking locally the most frequent schemes of deception In this country. In ths former state no one If per mitted to sell any variety of corpora tion shares, bonda or certificates without first obtaining a certificate of authority from the state banking department, based on a showing of tne honesty and solvency of the con cern Issuing the psper. The Ne braska law la loss sweeping, being restricted to corporations or associa tions Issuing Installment Investment securities. The Kansaa law la a re cent enactment, that of Nebraska waa passed In 190 J. Both are effi cient Instruments for officials eager to safeguard the unsophisticated and punish the crooked. - Unfortunately, th swindling game to rarely localized. The wider the scop of Its operations the greater Is Its success. As a measure of per sonal safety and comfort th shrewd msnagera seek victims aa fan from th horn office aa practicable. . State lawa are thua rendered Impotent In reaching tha source of tbe evil, and the country's chief dependence must remain on continued, vigorous en forcement of the postal lawa' rational commission, recently said: "America owes its position among tite nations to its system of free educa tion." Of course, that does not imply a perfect method or argue against changes in detail, but these chances. nevertheless, hsve to be. made with the utmost care lest they injure core than Improve. Problem of the Theater. Managers of the theaters are just aow giving closest consideration to the problem of reviving Interest In their undertakings. Profits are no longer- available, and la many re gards the buamesa of tbe stage lan guishes.', Vp to dste so many causes have been ascribed that the student is bewildered as to which la the most Important. it is admitted that the cupidity of tbe managers themselves has been responsible In a greater degree thaa any of the other causes for tbe con dition. When a very few years ago tbe theater was at the very top wave of opulent prosperity, a general scramble for a share of the immense profits that were accruing to the owner and managers resulted la the building of a large number of thea ters, the raising of the rentals on others and a general increase la the cost of operating. This naturally re sulted In a comnotitloa for ths serv ices of actors whose popularity might draw the dollars from the public. All of this had the Inevitable effoct of In creasing the cost of operation. Then tbe public began to find Its amusement elsewhere. Moving pic ture shows ,hav denuded tbe galler ies of the blgh-priced houses; other forms of diversion har lessened th attendancs of those who. bad for merly paid for th top-priced aeats downstairs and the', patronage left bad to be divided among a multiplied number and variety of attractions offered, by tbe rival managers. Only one result could be expected from this state of affairs, and It has fol lowed. , y ' ' , , Ons of th first steps that has been taken In th larger cities bf the coun try has been to reduce admission prices. This will cut th unit profit, but may Increase th total. But It I not alt that must b done. A higher quality of entertainment Is demanded and a restoration of the! theater to Its proper place In the so cial life of the people. Th managers I'must solve this question themselves. Another Kev School System. Los Angeles ia about to reorganise Ita public school course, lengthening It oa the whole one year; that Is, making the course from kindergarten through high school fourteen Instead of thirteen years. It will consist of on year In the kindergarten,, six In the graded schools, making th fifth year of junior university la charac ter. At present the court In Los Angeles, as most othsr place, coo- slats of one year in, tbe klndergartea, eight la th graded school and four la tha high. Th entirely new de partment la the three-year Inter mediary, which la contemplated aa a means of effective articulation of the graded and high schools. The theory Is that at present the course Is very defective there, la that the graded school pupil passes into th blgh school quits unprepared for th latter. He has been accustomed to depend lsfgely on his teacher for his studying In the graded schools, tt is argued, while in the high he must b thrown largely on hia owa re sources and th average pupil finds th gap wder than he is abl con veniently to bridge. He lose too much time after he leave the eighth grade and get into the first year of high school In simply learning bow to study. This Intermediary depart ment of three years becomes, there fore, the bridge required to span this chasm. If It is really required for no other pressing purpose, tt seems to be far from Indispensable. Why could not special training bo given in the sev enth and eighth grades that would meet this same demand! It ia. though, a fact that the graded schools are thus deficient In teaching tho pupil bow to study? If so, then the sooner wo set to work to correct this defect tbe sooner We shall make our schools more nearly what they ought to be. Whether the grades wore con tinued ou aa now or tbe three-year intermediary link was thrown in, tbe work would have to be done just tbe same, since there is to be no short cutting to eliminate graduation. This revision of the course will throw pu pils entering Los Angeles from other states and cities very much out ot kilter. Thus far we know of ao other state where a similar plan Is proposed except Kansas. It Is quite tbe fashion to project new schemes for our school system, with whkh most people assume it to b their unquestioned right to find flaws. Our system, ot course, is sus ceptible to improvement, but it ha work.d very effectually and stands pre-eminent aa the background of our potent citizenship. As tbe Hon. Al fred Mosler, head of the British eda- Wby should Henry Watterson have taken the pains to transmit bis ten der missive to Senator Tillman through "my friend, the Hon. Swager 8herly of Kentuy," when a J-ct-nt stamp would have carried it through th mails, and a lv-cnt special de livery would have Insured a written receipt? Can It be that the Ken tuck colonel felt it neceeaary to have a witness on the spot to report back just what happened when the "pitch fork" statesman read tbe communl-catloa These mid-year ' commencements for the High school may be aU right In their way, but tbe June graduate, stepping forth amidst green leaves and fragrant flowers, la apt to be Im pressed with a more roseate view ot life's pathway.
