Shirking Responsibility. - '
Those cities that are expelling
fallen women as the solution of their
social evil problem, are simply shift
ing their own responsibility onto
other cities already struggling under
the very same burden. 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. -

SCHOOL DAYS IN EAELY OMAHA
. . ...
1. How the High School Was Located.
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

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

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,

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

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. " f ' . :'

models supply visible
writing under new
conditions without
loss of efficiency.
To realize what this
means the combina
tion of Remington
strength with visible
writing note the type bars. Note them specially. See
how they are hung in a double row. , This gives room for
the broad pivot bearings. Note the bar itself, the strong,
rigid bar, the Remington bar you1 have always known,
imade from a steel drop forging. Compare this bar with
the ordinary thin bar, stamped , out of sheet steel, and
you will understand one reason why the very name
" Remington" stands for Strength and Reliability in a
Typewriter.
