Factor in Tariff Making.
How much of a factor should the
president be In tariff making? This
question Is rogularly propounded
whenover rovislon of tho tariff is
proposed, and thero is a wide oppor
tnnlty for divergence of opinion.
On one sldo It Is urged that tho pros
Ident should keop out until a bill Is
presented to htm for his approval,
and on tho other that ho should tell
In advance what he wants, and use
all tho powor at his command to
forco congress to comply.
In a speech In tho senato a week
ngo Senator Newlnnds of Nevada pre
sented this common-sense view:
There aro three factors In tariff mak
ing, and when 1 speak of tariff making
I mean making a democratic tariff. Tho
democrats of tho house, the democrats of
the senato, and a democmtlo president.
The president has the power of Initiative
by recommendation, and ho has also the
power of veto. So far ni I am concerned
I have always welcomed him cordially
Into our councils. 1 have not been ono of
thoso who believed thnt tho president
nhould wait until congress has acted and,
should then simply exercise his power
either of approval or veto. I believe that
through his power Of recommendation
and of veto he Is a part of tha legisla
tive organisation, and that we, as demo
crats, both In the house and the senate,
ought to take him Into our councils re
garding a democratic measure. But
surely the president will also choerfully
concede that ho Is not the only factor,
that the democrats of the houao with him
do not constitute the only factors, but
that the democrats of the senate are
called upon by the obligation' of their
office to discharge their full duty.
Under tho constitution every bill
for raising revenue must orlginato
tho houso, yet that has never
deterred the sonato from Incor
porating ehangoB Into It as part of
lis legttimato prerogative as ono
branch of tho law-making powor.
Strictly spoaklng, tho president by
ils veto can negatlvo any proposal,
but cannot modify or alter tho tormB
of a measuro ngrood upon by con-
gross. With three factors In tariff
making, tho assumption of exclusive
or superior authority by ono or by
two of, them Is llkoty to upset the
balance

OMAHA, May 24. To the Editor of The I
Bee: Referring to your editorial. "Plan
ning Ahekd for Schools," you as usual
hit the nail on the head and met the Issue
quarely In the face. You are right The
first essential thing In city planning is
to provide for adequate school facilities.
And you are correot In stating that city
planning should not be confined to the
present needs only, but must plan for the
future for the coming generation.
The child of today Is the citizen of to
morrow. To rear our children we must
have a suitable cradle and the school Is
the cradlo of the future citizen. The
school Is the maker of the citizen and
to make good citizens we must have good
schools and plenty of them.
Omaha has been making wonderful
strides In the last ten years. In fact It
hns progressed so rapidly that the Board
of Education can hardly keep up with It
in supplying the city with suitable mod
ern, up-todato schools. The schools
erected In the last three years are over
crowded with pupils and today we aro
again confronted with a condition that
calls for relief, and Immediate relief at
that. Our newly-erected sixteen and
elghteen-room buildings are again Inade
quate to supply the demands In certain
localities. We are compelled to ront
stores, basements and annexes to house
the children In the over-congested dis
tricts. Our high school of commerce has
surprised us to such an extent that we
ore at a loss to know what to do. The
enlarged LeaveWorth school location.
where the commercial high Is housed, Is
so overfilled with students that we were
compelled to rent two stores In the vicin
ity of tho school, and even with these
additional stores we are still unable to
take care of applicants for commercial
education. It Is a deplorable and dis
graceful condition for a city like Omaha
to be compelled to house children In base
ments, store rooms or other undesirable
places for wnnt of school facilities.
The demand for manual training, ludir.
Ing by the Interest taken by the children
in our grade schools. Is such that If wo
had an industriaV high school now, which
tho Board of Education contemplates to
establish', It would have been filled up
in a short time as our high school of
commerce was after one year's, expert-'
ment
It was very gratifying to tho members i
ot the Board of Education to see the
tand you have taken In regard to school
facltltlos for our city, advising and sug
gesting to build for the future. Tho time
s now at hand when we are compelled
to appeal to the citizens of Omaha to
relieve the congestion In our schools and
the Board of Education Is contemplating
to submit a bond proposition to the voters
In the near future for additional grade
schools, for an Industrial high school and
for additional facilities to enlarge our
high school of commerce.
Omaha boasts of having the best the
most modern up-to-date school system in
the United States, and I am suro that the
citizens of Omaha will gladly respond to
the request of the Board ot Education to
vote additional bonds to relieve the con
gestion and provide suitable facilities for
our children, and not for the present de
mands only, bat for the future.

OMAHA, May 24. To the Editor of The
Bee: I see In The Bee that the Cretgh
ton tract between Cuming and Hamilton
streets is about to be graded.
On that tract is one of the most Inter
esting pieces ot road to be found any
where In the west it being the old Cali
fornia and Oregon trail. There It is Just
as It was when It was abandoned and It
Is easy to see how It was worn down
by the traffic.
It seems a pity that a road ot such his
torical Interest should be destroyed. It
would seem that the park board might
buy It and take the marker that has
been placed on Lincoln boulevard and
place It on the road at Thirty-third and
Hamilton. Steps could lead up from the
corner and some few Improvements made
at a very small cost
Then we would have a connecting link

It Is gratifying to know that the pa
triotic deeds of those who fought, suf
fered and died for freedom are not for-
gotton. Thero never was a time in the
history of the country that there was a
greater necessity for tact and true pa.
triotlsm than the present Commercial
ism has taken the place of patriotism
and this beloved republic Is drifting
from Its moorings at a rate of speed
which ought to cause alarm. It was edi
fying to be present at the last memorial
entertainment and listen to the patrlotlo
addresses and witness the born and
taught patriotism of the school children.
However, It seems to me that there
was an error committed in the arrange
ment of last year s program on account
of the mutilation of the national song.
Omitting any one of the verses of the
"Star Spangled Banner" is wrong, un
patriotic and ought not to be tolerated.
The third verse of the national song is
carefully omitted from many ot the
school histories. History ought to be
kept straight The dignity and traditions
of everything relative to the American
revolution Is worth remembering, be
cause It Is one of the few struggles in
the history of the world which was en
tirely devoted to the establishment or !
liberty. To my astonishment I read In

Baltimore American.
I'm the War Scare. I'd novo you knowv
I'm looming high, I am hiding low,
Now I am faint as a shadow slight
Fade away like a mist from sight.
And then I come lit a mad rush back
Like a lightning cloud with its horror
Titl the people can hear the cannon'a
roar
(In their frightened minds) at their very
door.
Rumor's my food, and I gorge at will
Or. the stories wild .of my coming 111. .
There's not a move, although Innocent
It will not twist to my black Intent;
Not a statement, though of careful word
That will not make me sorely feared,
Nor suggestion here, and proposal there,
Which adds not to the war's mad scare.
And so I come and so I go.
And turn mild mend into nerce ioe
Prove pliable to clever brains
Whose thoughts ore bent to their own
gains.
I daunt the public who love peace;
I bid the nations' fear Increase:
And yet when down my vaunts they pare,
They find I'm nothing but a Scare!

OMAHA, May S. To the Editor ot The
Dee: Isn't It going pretty strong to ask a
man to believe that a woman who will pay
cheerfully from SI0 to ISO yes, $100 some
timesfor a hat that Is full of flowers,
feather, gewgaws and other wicked look
ing things more suited for the headgear
of a Sioux squaw than a civilised person,
can have sense enough to cast an Intelli
gent vote? All the flimsy staff that goes
Into a 130 bat cannot have cost originally
over tt. Why must a woman wear a lot
of gaudy feathers on her head? If a man
were to do It we would at once call him
crazy and arrest him. Tet he has Just
as much right and Just as good a reason
for doing so as have the women.
If women want men to think them
worthy of the ballot they should show
I more sense In their apparel. X am a-frlend
