The women are not reformed by being ordered out of town. They simply are driven into the nearest neighboring city that offers a haven of refuge. The city' that expelled them may draw its robes of self-righteousness about it. toss its head high and. like the Pharisee of old. thank God that it is not like other cities. But the Lord, it will be remembered, rebuked that sort of thing ae rank hypocrisy, to which He gave the euphonious name of whlted sepulcher. The social evil is not' solved in any such way. It is simply complicated as a great social problem and the sooner fake reformers come to admit this for they already know it the better It will be for all concerned, and especially those who are se riously searching for some way out of an age-old difficulty. Follow Up the Information. The sequel of the Know-Omaha- Better campaign is the making of a stronger and better city. Wholesome as is this schooling of Omaha's peo ple in Omaha's resources and inter ests, it would yet fall far short of the mark to end with the inculcation of knowledge. The movement, itself, contemplates the need and the possi blllty of improvement and that must be our aim. . There) are many ways of making Omaha a better city. One way was pointed out in a sermon Sunday by the Rev. Dr. McGlffln, who appealed to all good people to lay aside the habit of carping criti cism and get together in a serious ef fort to solve problems in the spirit of mutual helpfulness; to cease call ing names and go to rendering serv ice. Omaha probably has no more that than the average city, but this is a case, where, in the language of vaudeville, comedian, "enough is too much." There is work to be done. It calls for united, harmon ious, consistent effort. Omaha stands today on the threshold of Its greatest opportunity. Surrounded on all sides by prodigious natural re sources, its future rest entirely with the disposition of its own people. American Educators Abroad. Some years- ago an American, graduate of a small western college, went to Chile , and established an American institution, which today ranks as one of the leading American schools in all South America. Such signal success has it achieved that the Bolivian government once invited its founder to become director of education in that republic and re establish it on a new basis. ' But the American, unwilling to lay down his work In Chile, declined. Now he is on a tour of Europe and will soon be in America to make a thorough first-hand inspection of schools and systems of education In these coun tries under a commission from the government of Chile, where he will undertake to introduce the best meth ods in a rehabilitation ot Chile's edu cational system, " American civilization spreads rap idly .and surely through American education. Here is a wide field for valuable service, a world-service for young Americans with; high aspira tions. This man in Chile is only one of a great number who have made good in other lands, where they are planting American Institutions. These educators are no less missionaries of light than those who go forth under the commission of the church. And if commerce must be related to edu cation and religion, the point of con tact is easy to find here. Good Aid to Fire Fighters. Postmaster General Hitchcock proposes the rather novel plan of having .his 66,000 rural and star route mail carriers, who cover about 1,200,000 miles ot territory daily, act as auxiliaries to the gov ernment's forestry fire fighters. This plan does not contemplate extra work for the mail carriers, who are not to tight fires, but simply to re port them without delay where they find them to ; the ; wardens. In their routes, covering portions of wild and untitled country, they may detect an incipient fire and never think of turning in an alarm unless charged with the responsibility. This way they may reach a telephone with which these sections are being equipped, and get' into immediate communication with the fire wardens. In the course ot a year millions ot dollars' worth ot timber otherwise lost may be saved. At least our for est fires in 1911 approximated loss ot 150,000,000, so that every possible means ot prevention must be taken. . It la pleasing to know that the government is going after this matter of forest fires In earnest It is only business-like that it should utilise all its resources to accomplish Its purpose. The forest rangers, ' ef course, are under the supervision Of the Department of Agriculture, but there is no reason why the Postoffice department should not lend aid readily at its command. - : Hope ef Peace Shattered.

BT VICTOR ROSEWATER, ' Member of the Class of 1887 and Now Editor of The Bee. When the work of tearing down the old high school building was started about a year ago, I wrote a short article, which was printed in The Be at the time, recalling some incidents In con nection witti it that I thought might be of Interest to the thousands of boys and girls who had recited their lessons within Its walls. I assumed that I had a more Intimate relation to the old school build- ing than most Of our high school gradu- tower and spire which was the first ob atea for the reason that I am one of the Ject to greet the eye of the approaching few who received a complete public school education from the first class through all the grades down to the final commencement la the same structure without attending for a single day m any other school. That article must have at tracted a little more attention than usual, for quite number of friends and ac quaintances spoke to me about it, and expressed the wish that I might write more of my personal recollections and observations during my school days here, and to these requests I gave a qualified response that I would try to do so. It Is lust twenty-five years this month since I was graduated from the Omaha High school, along with my associates, who wera known as "the class of 1887," and the turning of this quarter century anniversary, together with the replace ment with our fine high school building 01 ine 01a Duuaing. or Wnion we were far many years so proud, furnishes an excuse, as well as an occasion, to tell something about the old-time teachers and the old-time achoot days. Aa every one at all familiar with Omaha's history, of course knows, the campus on which the high school has been erected, was laid out in the original town site when Omaha was staked oft on the virgin prairie months in the ad vance of the advent of Its first perma nent white settler, consisted of a tract embracing four blocks including inter secting streets, designated aa "Capitol square," and approached by a broad av- sue 120 feet wide christened "Capitol av enue.", It occupied the most sightly lo cation in the city en the top ot the most conspicuous hill, destined In . the mind of the municipal architect to be sur mounted by a stately structure housing the official family of the future common wealth of Nebraska. What is more won derful than the dream, la the fact that the dream came true, and that when Omaha became the territorial capital af ter a fierce legislative fight to secure the prlie, the capitol building rose on Capitol square where tt remained de spite all efforts of covetous neighbors until Nebraska was admitted to the union In 1867, and a new capitol, supposedly CUEEENT 'GOSSIP Gathered by the Army Color ( Uniforms. ' 1 Considerable discussion has prevailed among the experts In regard to a change In the color of the ollve-drab cotton cloth ing. An Impression bas prevailed that there would be a return to the khaki or yellow eplor. There is no such intention on the part ef the military authorities; indeed, the policy Is quite to the con trary, and the secretary of war has in- sued Instructions during the last week that there Shall be no Change in the color of the ollve-drab uniform for the next five years. It is evidently assumed that these Instructions will be observed by any successor of the present Incumbent there may be In the period named. This action has been taken in the interest Of manufacturers who may now proceed on the assurance of 'the War department that there will be no change affecting their Interests as bidders for government contracts. Roach Road to Reform. The proposed abandonment ot certain army posts and navy yards bas been In definitely postponed. The strength of the localities affected by such a proposal bas been shown this week In the action taken on the army and navy appropria tion bills. The War department recom mended, the abandonment and sale of a number of military reservations which were held useless for array purposes. fThe house agreed to Incorporate an amendment In the army bill eliminating an items Of appropriation for such navy yards. When the bill was reported to the senate this feature was striken out by sen ate amendment The result In conference has been the appointment of a commis sion to investigate the entire subject and report to congress a comprehensive policy with relation to the establishment of arniy posts, aa well as to pass on the necessity for the abandonment ot any of the present posts. Army Health Order. A general order wtll be issued from the War department in a few days en joining upon officers serving with troops to do their utmost to encourage physical recreation and to supply opportunities for cleanly social and Interesting mental occupations for the men In their com mand; to take advantage of favorable opportunities to point .out, particularly to the younger men, the inevitable misery and distress which follow upon intemper ance and moral uncleanllnese. Although the chief obligation and responslblity for the Instruction of soldier in these mat ters rests upon , company officers, the medical officers are expected to Impart by occasional lectures and ether Instruc tion useful Information on hygiene,, etc. Provision has now been made for general prophylactic treatment Any soldier who falls to comply with the Instructions, if found to be suffering front venereal af feetlon. will be brought to trial by court martial for neglect of duty. Detailed In structions are given in the general order for the observation and treatment of en listed men. . . ' General Staff Redaction. With the reduction la the members of the general staff of the War department by one general officer, one colonel, two lieutenant colonels, four majors and tan captains, the line obtains the services ot those officers at once, ainoe the provi sion in the army appropriation bill in that particular takes effect "hereafter" as it was originally intended to be the case with the legislation prescribing thi qualifications ot an officer to be eligible to detail as chief of staff. This means that seventeen officers below the pads of the general officer are added or re turned to the line for duty, being released from genera) staff duty, while the twenty-five remaining as the personnel of the general staff corpe will have the status of other officers who have been detailed for duty from the army at Urge to the staff. Their places la the line will hi flUed in the manner prescribed by sec nearer the center of population, was carved out of the sandy soli In the name Of Lincoln. ' - When It had to yield possession of the capital Omaha lost no time crying over spilled milk, but Immediately reclaimed Capitol square as a site for the crowning glory of its public school system and proceeded to erect the magnificent high school building, surmounted with a lofty traveler from whatever direction he came while he was still miles distant. The old territorial capitol vanished from the face of the earth before my day, and my first recollection of the high school building is of a finished structure. It was constructed of red brick with stone basement and trimmings, the main en trance facing east and other entrances, or exits, on each side,w of mansard type of roof, the center tower with faces for a clock, not yet Installed. The Janitor and his family lived In the basement rooms on the south side, the remainder of the basement being devoted to a big hot air furnace, fuel storage and toilet doom's. The first, second and third stories were finished for class room, purposes large, high ceillnged airy quarters each with a long narrow cloak, room at one side, wide halls, winding . stairways, -a. small audience hall on the , second floor, and a larger one on. the third floor, and the top story under the roof left entirely unfinished. This , semi-attic consisted of two parts, north and south, completely separated and accessible only by dif ferent stairways. The tower was entered from the man sard story thr6ugh dark,' musty pas sages and by narrow breakneck stair ways, more like- ladders. : It was 'kept locked, with -U key carefully guarded by the janitor, so that the rare oppor tunity of making the trying climb was a privilege accorded as a rule only when visiting strangers Were to be piloted to the topmost height to take In the most wonderful scenic view in the whole val ley of the Missouri., In one chamber of this tower was a huge bell, rung, by pull ing a rope that extended down to the first floor near the main entrance, at stated hours to enable hosewlves all over town to set their clocks, and to remind tardy pupils of the ominous fate in store for them if they failed to invent plaus ible, excuses, So much for the building, which, when I arrived at an age to be sent to school housed not only the high school classes, but also a complete set of grades In cluding primary and grammer instruc tion OF THE ARMY and Navy Register. tion Z7 of the act of February 2, 1301 This Is a gain for the line, of course, and Is fair in that it places the general staff on the same footing respecting its de tailed personnel as are other . staff branohes of the army. Army Bill and the Vet. There Is nothing to justify the lmpres slon which prevails In some quarters that President Taft will veto the army appro- prlatlon bill. In the first place, there is little or nothing in the bill which would justify such an extreme measure on the part of the chief executive. , In the next place, Mr. Taft does not take, and has never taken, such a lively interest In military affairs as to lead one to sup pose, for a moment that the bill in the shape in which it Is agreed upon would lead to any mark of disapproval on his part. From the first Mr. Taft has had only a casual concern for the army, its affairs, or its personnel. In the days when he wag In the Philippines, through his career as secretary of war, and since he has been in the White House his in terest in the military establishment ha been perfunctory. This has not changed on account of anything which has hap pened In the last year in the War de partment Indeed, there have been some occurrences in that department which have led Mr. Taft to believe that h should have more concern for denart. mental administration. This has been because members of congress have been' to him with complaints and suggestions. such as the detachment from duty here of the present chief of staff and the sug gestion that he appoint a successor to Mr. Stlmson, the secretary of war. But when it comes to vetoing the army bill Mr. Taft has bad no suggestions from an authoritative source on that subjeof. Tba leaders In congress who have talked with him about the army bill have made no such recommendation, and the unwisdom of such a proceeding, added to the re sponsibillty for exercising the power of veto, Impresses all , those who now the situation for what it is and who are not gossiping on their dense ignorance of the actual conditions.
