Counterfeiting.
With all the government's extra
vigilance to prevent counterfeiting
of money, spurious silver certifi
cates are in circulation, so skillfully
made as to cludo detection of ex
perlcnc6d handlers of money. Tho
government has taken every nvull
nblo means of protecting people
against loss and. yet It cannot hope
fcr comploto success. Tho success of
the counterfeiters In this caso goes
to show the dangerously Insidious
character of th fs crime and tho
gravity attached to It by tho govern
ment. It will require nil possible
cc -operation of banks, all places of
exchange and business houses, ns
woll as individuals, to recover this
floatation, especially if It has been
extensive. Then apprehending thoso
guilty of making and circulating
tho money is nnother task.
Counterfeiting is one of the old
offensos with which the federal au
thorities have had to deal and of
late .years it has bgan hold under
rathei1 effectlvo restraint, but evi
dently not perfect restraint. Moral
suasion has hot worked much bet
tor on counterfeiters than on other
classes of criminals Tho plea that
their ingenuity directed In legiti
mate channels would bring much
better results has not impressed
them deeply. It still remains neces
nury to rench them by nnother
appeal.

A Taxpayer's Complaint.
OMAHA, Jan. 3 -To the Editor of Tho
Hee: I am very glad to sec that The
Bee has publlahed an article that Informs
the taxpayers of Omaha how foollahly
their money la being expended, the latest
Instance 'being tho location of the new
Florence water main. We must surely
give Commissioner Howell credit for try
ing to locate the water main on Twenty
seventh street, which engineers claim Is
tho most mechanical route. Incidentally,
the Twenty-seventh street route would
have saved tho Omaha taxpayers approxi
mately JB8.000. The reason It was not
run on Twenty-scvonth street was be
cause the commissioners would not grant
permission, but Insisted on Twenty
eighth, avenue.
The residents of Twenty-eighth avenuo
hired a lawyer and tried to stop this In
justice at tho start, hut their efforts
wero of no avail. Tho greater number
of property owners along Twenty-eighth
avenue arc In moderate circumstances
and aro paying for their homes from a
limited income. Wo have not only hud
our yards filled with a pile of clay from
ten to fifteen feet high, to bo tracked In
tho, houses and litter up the lawns, but
now wo oro being assessed from $20 to
$500 each.
I can only thank J. J. ltyder for his
prophecy that Twenty-eighth avenue will
bo a desirable thoroughfare. In fact. It
is so now; but I for one do not desire to
spend alt of my money upon the streets;
would rather be able to pay some on
my home.
If our directors of finance In Omaha
sen fit to spend tt,0f In this seemingly
unnecessary manner. I think the city at
largo should be taxed for It and not Just
a fow. I am suro that If Mr. McGovetn
would uso as much of his energy, to
properly adjust this tax as he did to
bring it about, he would be helping n
great many Omaha citizens, as well as
regaining their friendship.

SEATTLE1, Wasn., Jan. 1. To tho Ed
Itor of The Bee; My attention has been
called to a recent communication In your
paper from Mr. Piper In reference to the
Nebraska School for tho Deaf, and I have
been asked to comment on It.
According to Mr. Piper, the superin
tendent of tho School for the Deaf In
Omaha "believes that another building
should be provided, fo that thoso given
the aural (he evidently means oral)
training could bo thus segregated from
the environment of thoso using to a large
degree the sign manual method."
Why a separate building? The ornl law-
passed In 1011 provides that the school
shall bo turned Into an oral school, and
the present superintendent has declared
his intention to do It. Is this a confes
sion that It Is Impractical to make It an
oial school and that some pupils must
be taught by the sign nnd manual
method?
It looks like It.
Now. this Is exactly what was done
under the combined system which was'in
uso before the present law was passed.
And It does not require separate build
ings to do it, either. Under the com
blned trystcm tho deaf who show adapt'
ability for It are taught by the oral
method, and thoso who cannot bo sue
cessfully taught by tho oral method are
taught by somo other methods ns are
beat suited to them. That Is sensible, is
It not?
Why was tho oral law of 1911 passed?
Because half a dozen parents had been
led to bellovo that the oral method was
the best for the deaf, and had enough
Influence with the legislature nnd gov
ernor to get It through. Only one of them
had a child nt the Omaha school, and
none of them wero familiar with the
work done at the school.
Somo of them have dcuf children at
tending an oral school In the cast, and
they cunningly drafted the law so as to
enable them to eend their children to
the eastern school at tho expense of the
state. Tills Is graft. No other state
would stand for It.
THcre Is a college for tho deaf in
Washington. D. C. Tho brightest Bradu
ates from the schools all over the country
go thero. Nebraska hns eleven students
there now. Only one other state can
equal this record, namely, Kansas, which
has the same number. And Kansas uses
the combined nyxtcm! No ornl school
and no state where the oral method la
largely used can equal this record. Why?
Because tho oral schools spend so much
time trying to teach apeech that they do
not give time to teach other studlet.
The eleven students at Gallaudet col
lego are an excellent testimonial to the
efficiency of the former superintendent
Mr. Stewart, and the combined system
as used by him.
When the legislature In 1911 passed the
oral law It took a long step backward.
This law, unless repealed or amended,
will do great harm to the deaf of Ne
braska. The deaf all over the county are takng
great Interest In this Nebraska law, and
a petition asking that It be repealed or
amended has been signed by several
thousand deaf and will be presented to
the next legislature.
