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

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

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

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?

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. MEIW MAN,

OMAHA, Sept. ,-Ta the Editor of Th
Bee: II, A j of. Genoa has made a
statement that I wish to examlns In the
. , ,,.., ..IM ir .
;" "' '
question be argued before the bar ot
reason-" Now, this, statement bears no
logical significance unless wo qlsMnsuhih
between pure reason and practical reason.
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

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

Dear Mabel; Blnce we live apart,,
Old memories I fondly treasure: f
I wear your, picture neaif my hfattiii'
And wish vou Joy In arfcatest measure:
I think a hundred times a 'day ,
Of you and what you may be doing;
I hope the way's a rosy way r
Ana peaceful mat you are pursuing;
I hope that Joy Is In your glance, i
And that you mourn no dsnrlvatlon.
That you, too. bless the luoky chance.
Which brought about our separation.
SHE. J
Dear Billy: Thank you for your kind
And very, very tender letter; -
Day attar day I seem to find t .
That life grows fairer, sweeter, better;
Since we agreed to disagree .
My cares nave steadily grown lighter;
Tho sun. It even seems to me, 4i
Has Innrned to snipe a little brighter;
How vainly, foolishly we fought
Permitting anger to demean Us!
With you I bless the chance which
brought
The present barrier' between us. ?

Dear Mabel: It Is clear that you : . '
, And I were hoth mistaken sadly.C .
'TIb good that we may thus renew. '
The friendship that turned out so hadlyi
All misht have been so different 1 '
But we, alas, are young and srllyV'
Still there is nothing to prevent tr' '

MDfRre,t: Yc, we wre unwise;
The way la best that we have taken;
Still we are bound by sacred tlM.
My faith In you remains unshaken!"
How good It was n those .dear, days
Tp Took at you across the toble:t
And hear your earnest, boyish pralao
I'll be up, waiting, tor you.-"Mabir
