Bo School Bonds-Limit Building Cost A vital point has been raised in a controversy at Lincoln over the ereo tkm of a new high school building which may be submitted to the courts, and if decided will be of equal importance to Omaha. Lin coln, it seems,-voted bonds in speci fic amount to raise money needed for this purpose, but In accepting plans, and letting contracts, the school board has greatly over-run the sum authorized in the bond proposi tion. The question is whether in so doing, in attempting to spend more money for a new high school build ing than has been voted, the board is. not exceeding its authority, and overstepping limitations intended for protection of taxpayers. The law plainly authorizes the ex penditure of not to exceed $25,000 in any one year out of current rev- THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, IN ACTIVITIES IN AEMY CHICLES ' fixldiuf Backward coMttubD rMOM dec riiu Sept. 20. 1 1" 'M ; St. Loul-4 fierce Duimms. w C Waahtnston-TCi Fourteenth 6t N.

One .of the strongest statements for the protective tariff that has ap peared anywhere is embodied in Mr, Hearst's explanation of his views for the London Express, in which, "inci dentally, he declares his support of Wilson to be in spite of the latler's attitude on what he regards as his paramount issue.

A contractor having agreed to furnish hay and bedding at Fort Robinson, Neb., for a period from August, 1911, to April, 1912. failed to complete his contract be fore June, 1912, and a question arose as to settlement with him on account of the delay. The contract conUlned no provision for damages in case of failure to, make delivery within contract time other than a proviso -tor open market purchases In case of necessity, the cost to be assessed to the contractor. The de lay in this pM occasioned no open mar ket purchases and the government suf fered no loss or inconvenience by reason thereof. The fact that no loss occurred and there was no legal objection to de livery after the contract period had ex pired, is considered sufficient evidence in itself to have waived the assessment of damages. Contracts for supplies differ from the usual construction contracts of the government In that the latter usually contain provisions In the form, of stipu lated damages or penalties for delays Drill Regulations. The exercises conducted with the Pro visional Infantry regiment en route to and at Sparta, Wis., tWs summer prob ably have Justified about all the changes In the methods ot handling Infantry troops embodied in the Infantry drill reg ulations adopted last year. Wherever and whenever these regulations were applied correctly, it was shown that a company ot 150 men, as contemplated by the regu lations, could be handled efficiently by the officers and administrative personnel proposed. Captains had no serious dif ficulty in handling- four platoons of four squads each on the firing tine during the various combat exercises with ball cartridges, and this justifies the con clusion that .the slxteen-squad company Is not too large. Certain minor changes In the regulations were recommended and these are being considered at the War department Other questions con cerning the regulations, including' mat ters pertaining to targets, still are under consideration at the school of "musketry, Presidio of Monterey, Cal. The board of officers that met some time ago at Mon terey to formulate drill regulations for machine gun organization of Infantry has rendered its report, which now awaits review Id the War department Members of the board were at SparU during the exercises ot the provisional regiment and gained 'much valuable information that was used in preparing the report. A board of officers convened in the Philip pines to consider questions relating to machine gun organisations of cavalry was unable to do much work along that line, owing to the fact that the regiment to which the members of the. board be longed was : ordered home. The work of this board has been ' transferred to the school of musketry. OUR BIGGEST SUPERDREADNOUGHT Backward in Numbers But Supreme in, Size. , r , " Brooklyn Eagle. , If we do not build many battleships in comparison with foreign nations we at least reUIn our supremacy In tonnage and armament , If we show a curious reluctance to provide our navy with bat tleship cruisers of the type of the Eng lish Lion and Princess Royal and the German Von Der Tann and Moltke, com. bining high speed with heavy armament, we are quick - to . improve upon foreign plans for the evolution of the super dreadnought Thus the announcement that the projected Pennsylvania will dis place 31,000 tons and' carry a main battery of twelve 14-lnch guns, supplemented by a secondary battery of twenty-six 5-lnch Is equivalent to eUtlng that we are sim ply maintaining our traditional policy ot building something a little bigger than any other country has attempted to build In the matter of gun equipment" the Pennsylvania Is a mighty Interesting ship. Years ago we found that the 13-lnch gun used on such ships as the Oregon, In diana and. Alabama was not so effective, as the smaller 12-Inch. ' Also the latter had become after long experimentation the standard turret rifle of , the British battleship. . Now our . gunmakers hav evojved the, 14-lncb weapon with tremen dous range and penetration, while, the British have compromised on the 13.5-jnch, which is used on battleships of the Orion and King George classes and on crulset battleships such as the Lion and the Princess Royal. Th New York and the Texas will be the first bf our superdread nousrhts to inirtjiU the new 14-Inch gun but each will carry but ten of these guns as against the. twelve to be carried on the Pennsylvania. 4i In the main battery the Pennsylvania ' will be considerably stronger than any ship in our own navy or In any other navy. Experts differ as to the value of the secondary battery to which we attach so much Importance and in respect of which the Pennsylvania Is remarkably well equipped. Only the test of actual wat can determine whether the Pennsylvania's secondary battery of twenty-six 5-Inch guns Is a superfluity or a wise precau tion.' We have, however a highly val uable indsrsement of the secondary bat tery In the attitude of Sir William White one of the ablest of modern naval con structors, who has more than once In flated that the British navy would be stronger if it followed our example in regard to secondary guns. In any even! we are going to have in the Pennsylvania a ship that represents the very latest de velopments In naval architecture, and'ont which will advertise the . excellence , of American building methods in every port where it drops an anchor. ; u, ; LAUGHING GAS.

It Interposes another series of profits that must eventually come out of the trade. Ostensibly designed to supply working capital, the essential object of a holding company is to make money out ot manu factories that have been organised by others. It Is a manifestation ot the trust principle in that the financial auto nomy ot each of the component parts of, the system is destroyed. Halt a dosen prosperous concerns, each capable ot earnlrfe substantial dividends for its stockholders, may prove to be unable, though with no change 'in trade condi tions, u earn enough money to yield dividends to ; a holding company, with Its much larger capitalisation than the combined capital of all th units. There feas scarcely been an instance ot hold ing-company trouble in this country that has not been due to this condition. Prac tically all of them are overcapitalized, and the-excess of capital, upon which dividends are expected, represents In most cases promoters' profits, under writers' commission and similar fees taken out in the process , ot organiza tion. In another feature the corpora tion now in trouble is similar to others that have preceded it along this road of financial difficulties. .Those who ef fected the organisation got on. ; the ground floor in terms of bonds, leaving the people who 'furnished the greater bulk ot the capital to take stock on which it was certain to be extremely difficult to pay dividends. This exper ience Is only on ot numerous cases In which Innocent investors have been fooled by glowing promises and refer ences to the undeniable prosperity of th component Industrial plants that are taken Into the combination." If these holding companies were financed soundly, without water in the . capital stock and without excessive promoters' profits represented In first mortgage bonds, there would be no objection to this manner of increasing th efficiency of industrial enterprises.

The contract sets forth that .the present marriage shaU not be a bar to other marriage should It .prove unfruitful, and that neither shall hav th right to restrain the othwr should be or .eh see fit' to incur other parental responsibility. As these marriages sre carried out In legal form, the parties are of course bound by the marriage law pf the state. Their prenuptlal contract, devised with the Intention ot evading the law.
