The oppoaenU of home rale, fear
ing that their real motives might not
be a winning card, aro sow trying to
mask themselves behind a pretense
that the proposed home rule charter
for Omaha is drawn in the Interest
of the pdblio service corporations.
That this Obvious fake la just an
after, thought is clearly proved by it
tardy appearance. Three out d fif
teen members of the charter conven
tion JecllHed to alga the document,
each explaining his "reason, but not
one of them gave as a reason that the
charter was too favorable to 'these
corporations. On lho contrary, every
one of the three dissentors voted for
every section of the charter in any
way relating to the public service
corporations, and their subjection to
and control by the city.
Every member of the charter con-
ventlon knows, and everyone else
who knows anything about it knows,
that tho proposed charter lays new
burdens on the frsnchlsod corpora
tions and cinches tax obligations
which they would Hko to throw off,
and that the charter would have read
far differently it they bad been al
lowed to have their own. way.
Everyone knows that the street
railway company does not relish the
prospoct of being compelled by the
new chatter to pay for paving the en
tire occupied area of the 'Street and
a footton each side of its tracks,
something, it had thus far succeeded
in fighting off through pliant legisla
tors making charters for us at Lin-'j
cola. '
Everyone knows that the telephone
company objects streauously to the
assertion of reservation in this char
ter of aay right to regulate its
charges thrpugh the council or by

lCrsry kaows that all our pub
lic service corporations objct to be
ing required to pay an occupation tax
sever less- than 3 per cent of their
gross receipts; that every ono of them
affected objects to the establishment
in the new charter of a maximum

The oeavsntont theory that eriae
ta a dtaeaee, with its correllary that
the ertotinal las&act ta transmitted
by inheritance, and its Inferential
eanoluston that the criminal is a vic
tim of his physical nature and not re
sponsible for his offense against so
ciety, never appealed to us forcibly,
The notion that criminals are born
or created entirely by condition be
yond tbelr control and are in no way
self-made, if accepted, would set our
entire method ot dealing with crime
beyond the pale of civilisation and.
humanity. Not that these methods
are the best, or even tolerable with
out reform, but thfrt the whole idea
ot punishment and redemption un
derlying all our penal institutions
rests on the assumption of individual1
accountability.
It ia gratifying, therefore, to have
new testimony corroborating and sup
porting our refusal to regard crime
aa a disease. In the current number
of Scribner's Magaslae. a. whole
somely suggestive article on "The
Man Behind the Bars," is contributed
by Winifred Louisa Taylor, one of
our foremost prison workers, with an
experience with hundreds of convicts
covering more than twenty-five
years, in'whlch she Says:
Among these convicts I noouatered

These observations, It seems to ufl,
ought to be stimulating to thoso who
want to believe that tha man who
goes wrong may bo set right and can
be made over Into a useful citizen.
The conclusions embodied in this
study are also fatal to tho theory
that the why to stop Crime is to pre
vent the propagatibn of a crlmlnnl
race and hold up to scorn recent leg
islative attempts in that direction.
Tho way to stop crime plainly is to
toach every man, woman and child
the difference between right and
wrong, to provide opportunities to
travel the straight path without, be
ing submerged la want or misery,
and to make each individual feel that
he is responsible tor his own acts.

You realise, 4o you not, how that

at a very vital point tho teacher's

ing, therefore, to be told that since
rudimentary instruction in art has
become a part of the curriculum of
the public school, tha teachor aa well
as pupil reflects the benefits,
Mrs. Klla Flagg Young, superin
tendent of Chicago's public schools,
says now that art Is a part of tho
school work, Chicago teachers aro

Without stopping comporlsons, It will
be admitted that, what Is better still,
tho children aro doing the narno
thing. Haying acquired the art of
matching colors, thoy are carrying

markably improving their own; per
