But U It any more right lor the Judge's Jnflu ence to put bis son on the public pay roll In order tot augment the family incomer , Assistant City Attorney Lambert ia Quoted' as saying that "It really makes no difference whethor the gaa rate ase is decided six months earlier pr later." Well, that depends. Homo of us may he dead boforo the final decree wlatfa up that piece of UUga U, Junkets and Joy Rides. 1 Dy Judicial edict of a learned Judge the use of publld funds to pay the ex penses of officials commissioned to represent tho city at conventions of national organizations devoted to the study and discussion of municipal Affairs is put under the ban, with the natural Inferonco that the same rat ing applies to water district, school district, county and other similar Junketers. In a word, tho dispenser of Justico sets tho Junket In tho samo category as tho Joy ride and holds that tho taxpayers' money cannot be misappropriated to serve the personal pleasure of the public servant Go t far,, so good -and yet. The real question iswhether the danger of abuso is so great -that tho door must be absolutely shut. Tho Bee will not be accused of partiality for our Water board boas, and ye,i we. see that money spent to send him to attend meetings of practical water vorks managors and real hydraulic oxperts, or to Inspect successful water installations in other cities, may be money well spent and bring big re turns to the taxpayers. If we must put greenhorns or theoristB In. charge of a costly water works, plant, we cannot well balk on paying for their education, whether at home or abroad. This Is only a slight stretch of tho reason which prompts us to furnish our public officials with au tomoblles for uso in tho public sorv ico, although, of course, not for their own entertalnraenpj family quango Then it gets down, finally, to draw ing tho lino that separates the Junket and tho Joy rldo from tho public mis sion that distinguishes tho vacation. tour from tho business trip. If it pays a private corporation to send an officer or employe to a trade conven tion, It might pay a city or a water board to keep In touch through its officers with what other up-to-dato cities are doing.

OMAHA, Sept. t.-To the Editor of The Bee: The president of the school board, returning from an Inspection tour of east ern cities, the taxpayers of the district paying his expenses, tells the people of Omaha that they must vote for another mortgage upon the taxable property of the city In the shape of bonds amounting tor 1LJ50.000. Partitioning this money he would build another high school building at a cost of tGOO.OOO. This suggestion, coming Immediately latter the completion of the Central Hich school building, costing over 1800.000, will I no doubt be received with some mlsglv- lings by men who are carrying the larger Part or tne tax burdens or the city, Not long ago this high father of the I school board told our taxpayers that they must soon pay for another building for the Commercial High school because the one now occupied Is crowded. Nqw thn are several ressone why the taxpayers of Omaha will demur to fur ther proposed bond Issues, and one rea son why they win object to another high school building is that there is plenty of room In the Central High school building for the School of Commerce. U Is a mat ter of public record that the architect ot the Central High school budding planned it to accommodate 2,500 students. There may not now be seating capacity for more than 2,O0Q, but the fact remains that there Is room for MO more seats when ever the school board wlahes to order them put In, That the capacity Is far beyond the aqtual need of the school Is attested by the fact that tha actual average dally attendance ot pupils at the Central High school is 1,334. In other words, there Is now seating capacity for 611 additional students, which is quite enough to ac commodate all the students of the Com mercial High school, whose actual aver age dally attendance Is 195. The Commercial High school should never have been removed from tho -Cen tral building, which means that there are many reasons why It should be put back there. When that Is done the Leav enworth street building could be used ex clusively for the prop6td technical school, It is plenty big enough for that purpose for the present, and when ex pansion comes a bis wing can be built coating not mora than (75,000, Why Is It that the school board de votes so much t'me to construction work and comparatively o little time to the business of education? Is It a board pt construction or a school board? J, l. HAYNBS. American Women, Forelsrn Knnhlons. OMAHA, Sept. iTo the Editor of The See; I have been reading your recent editorials discussing women's dress, Not long ago you spoke of the action of some Minnesota club women appealing to man ufacturers and merchants for assistance In freeing themselves from the bondaga of fashion, which they could not resist unaided. Mors recently you quoted from a magaslno writer who purported to show that we are out-fashioning Paris In the matter of extreme styles; that our Amer ican women ere wearing what Paris wo men will not wear. And you went on to show that the women ot other European countries are rejecting the extreme Pa risian styles, the same as the refined Parisian women; that these countrUs are creating and patronising their own fash ions. Very good. Then why, as you naked, cannot American women do like wise! Don't tell me that our American women are tho bond slaves of any for eign fashion potentate. They can do in the matter ot dress what they choose to do In other matters Just What they please, and whenever our women please to discard the groUgqua creations called style that moment the problem will be solved, and we shall save our dignity and many of our girls, no doubt, as a, result.

A pure principle I always absolute, un conditional and university true, while the principles of practical reason are rela.t've. cgnqltlonal and of local lm portonee pnly Pure reason undertakes to near above experience, whlto practical raaon Is the offspring ot experience. Let Us Illustrate.) We will say that a, lie Is a sin; now, pure, speculative reason atflrmj that under all circumstances and venditions a lis s a sin, and like the frigid principles of mathematics, if ope exception could be cited, the whole superstructure, to gether with the foundation, must sink, On tho other hand, practical reason points out numerous examples where lying has saved Uvea, protected innocence and yielded practical benefits tq mankind. The argument amounts to this: That If e liar be teried at the bar of pure reason he stands condemned and there Is no appeal. But It he be arraigned at the bar of practical reason he may plead expedi ency; the end Justifies the means, pro vided the end be noble and ideal. Falling to distinguish between Ideal and practical Judgments, between the unsubstantial and the absolute, causes many well meaning men to ret an ar gument upon evidence that cannot bear the weight Those who Indulge In tha luxury of free thought are often driven to use caustic and corrosive ridicule, caviling sophistry and miserable sluggish and ragged arguments; when a hyper critical skeptic Is hemmed in by a series Of logical deductions, ha starts bawling fpr fair play, and replies only to those opponents who leave loopholes In their arguments. There are three sources from which a man may draw h'a philosophy of life; they are pure reason, practical reason and faith and the last la the great est of all. E. Q. M'lNTOSK.
