"What effect. If any, will the currency
p row of the week hare upon President
i Wilson's leadership? Has the president;
ijjthe committee or the cause of currency
reform suffered through the bout of the
tiWhlte House with the senate committee
I'bn banking- and currency, as a result of
which the committee, with some crowing
and flapping of wines, announo that
trey shall expect no more dictation from
the White House?
.The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Transcript propounds these Ques
tions and answers them, in part, as fol
lows: tit will bo recalled that. the president
Bft out to hasten the committee In Us
work; to suggest.that It should discon
tinue Its hearings before October 25, and
that congress should pus a banking bill
before the end' of tha extra session. It
li now an open secret In Washington that
both parties In the senate are determined
that a banking bill shall not pass at
the present session, and that President
Wilson expects the measure to go Into
the regular session, If not Into 1914.
Clash with President Jlrnltnfnl.
Dispassionately analyzed, the. clash be
tween the president and tljo senators ap
pears to havo produced healthful, results
t both endaof the avenue. The president
has learned that the senate will not be'
hurried and, his friends say he. will have
fergotte how to bo clever, if he doeaot
Jlnd the lesson useful In. his future deal-'
irigs with congress. Wlth'tho knowledge
that any plan of calling a senate cauqus
tb hasten or discharge the committee has
been abandoned, senators have melted a'
little and -are saying that If the president'
will possess his soul in paUerice a while"
longer, they wl glv'o him a bill for whlchi
they can vote conscientiously. ,
Vanderllp' Testimony Useful. j
A potent Influence upon the senate
committee this week, has been trie 'testi
mony of 'the bankers, notably the re
marks of lYank A, Vanderllp, president
ot the National City bank of Now York,
and of the several country bankers who
have explained to the commltteo why
the bill would work adversely to their
Interests. Some of the democrats were
surprised that Mr. Vanderllp should sea
anything good In the bill, and when he
went on to point out that it contained a
lot of good things they began to under
stand that even a New York banker
might bo capablo of useful and disinter
ested criticism. Through the testimony
of Mr. Vanderllp the committee came to
see that if they could divest themselves
of. some of their prejudice they might
learn something of value from men who
had spent their lives In tbo banking busi
ness. Mr, Vanderllp. .annoujioedjaUs pur
pose ty say everything good foritho bill
he could, and he was as frarifc in his

no symptoms of worrlment over their re-1
latlons with the city men, but went on
Ik their own way to show that In dollars
and cents the bill meant losses for them
If It were not amended; and many spoke
favorably of the measure except upon
certain technical points which affected
tholr own peculiar business.
This was news to some of the demo
crats, who were divided in opinion as
to whether the country bankers were
howling for the bill as affording them
escape from the clutches of tholr own
reservo agents, or were condemning It
utterly because it cinched the power ot
Wall street over them. It was something
of a revelation when the testimony de
veloped that the bankers, country and
city, were studying the measure like any
other business document and weighing
its good and bad points as if the whole
subject wero not one solely ot political sen
timent and were one of Vital' business
importance. The consensus ot bankers'
testimony so far has been that the pro
posed system In its present form offers
them little, It anything, worth while, but
that with reasonable amendments, cov
ering certain features of banking pro
cedure, it can be made at least unob
jectionable, Tho purposes of the meas-
uro wero commended by all the banker
witnesses, but practically all were doubt
ful whether those purposes could ( be
achieved unless the bill were materially
amended.
Tho not result of the row with the
president has been to bring about a Uttle
better understanding all around. Tha
White IloUse understands that . even the
wonaerzui success or mo pre;aeni. hiui
the talft latr haa not yet made him- om
nipotent, in all riiatters, particularly where
the Draetla-e ot the senate is Involved. The
senate,. on -the-other, hand and this In
cludes many, of the republican members
Is how willing, to help work out k good
"bill If the.-White House wlll'meet'them
half way In good faith. In tact, from tha
.Oh.eott.ul .talk heard about tho corridors
today It would oven be posbidio to gnna
out a bonking bill which the republicans
of tho .committee would support ltmen
like Chairman Owen ore ready to drop
their nartlsan foolishness And their ab
ject "surrender- to" administration Influ
ences and tree torother with the rest upon
a, measure' which' will stand the test of
scientific banking analysts.
-Inrtlnlilp J.esa Active.
Amdng senators outside the banking and
currency committee the effect of the
rumpus has been wholesome. Ilbko
Smith's recent interview and subsequent
statements by him and other leaders has
made It possible to say almost unquali
fiedly that tho banking bill will not bo
treated as a party measure in tho senate.
and that If too extreme procedure Is at
tempted a good many conservative dem
ocrats will vole with the republicans
rather than be placed In the position ot
being ignoramuses upon tho currency
question. Gentlemen of this class havo
been much embarrassed by the efforts or
men liko Chairman Glass bo far unro
buked by tho administration to represent
tha American Bankers association as the
organized enemy of the country and to
discredit In every possible manner tho
adverse testimony of bankor-witnesses
relative to the Glass-Owen bill. The doc
trine that no honest criticism of a bonk
ing measure can come from a banker Is-
not liked by senators whoso states are
full of honest and capablo bankers who
wont currency reform as much as the ad
ministration does but prefer that It shall
bo Intelligent 'and' not disastrous.
President's Tactical Blander.
Part -of , the irritation displayed In the
senato over tho nttomptcd dictation on
tho currency mil is quo u me ineximu-
abla refusal of the president to permit
congress to adjourn for a month or more,
and thus enable the members to rest
and attend to affairs at home. Tho sen
ate bankjng and currency committee, at
least, has Known tor some lime mat no
legislations was, possible- at this session,'
but no one has been able to knock that
fact Into the head ot the president, with
the result that ho has kept several hun
dred' sullen men Imprisoned In Washing
ton for no useful purpose. Now, the bill
cannot be reported out. until late In No
vember, and the senate will take its own
time in passing It.
Thomas Kelly Was
at Berlin When
Airship Buckled
Thomas J. Kelly, prominent Omahan,
who recently returned from an extended
trip In Europe, spent considerable time
In Germany and relates a queer coinci
dence connected with the explosion of
the Zeppelin airship LII. While Kelly
was stopping In Berlin with Bigmund
Landsberg, another Omaha musician, he
visited the airship sheds at Potsdam with
several German acquaintances, who were
loud In their praise of the safety of the
German airships. While at Potsdam the
Germans carefully explained why the
airships did not havo accidents, but dur
ing the same half hour Kelly and Lands
berg were at Potsdam the airship buckled
In midair and fifteen people were In
stantly killed.
Mr. Kelly also saw the LI I while at
Berlin. He saw several other ot tho pas
senger airships, including the Hansa, the
Sachsen and the Victoria Louise. He was
urged to take a trip in one ot them, but
he preferred to remain on the solid
ground, so that ho did not experience
the thrills that are said to accompany
a trip in one ot the big carriers. The
price charged to ride in one ot the pas
senger balloons Js 200 marks for a two
hour trip. The equivalent of 209 marks
In American money la K0,
Mr. Kelly was much surprised to learn
that the LI I had exploded and killed
twenty-six people, because he considered
the balloons relatively safe, although the
accident did happen to the LI at the time
he was at Potsdam. The German bal
loons had never had a serious accident
before the LI fatality, and the German
people could hardly believe that such an
accident could happen.
All of the L lino of balloons are Ger
man military airships and no passengers
are carried in them.

Needs of Omaha Schools . Are
Explained by Dr. Holovtchiner
OMAHA, Oct. 18. To the Editor of Tho
Bee: I havo read J. B. Haynes letters
which havo appeared from tlmo to time
In our dally press with a great deal of
amusement and also with amazement.
Because his letters have been left un
answered Mr. Haynea must not think
that he "got away with the stuff and
that the people really believe what he
had to say In recard to our high school
of commerce and other schools. Know
ing as I do that he Is the paid press
agent for certain commercial college!, I
do not blame him for attacking the
school, because when you hit a man's
pocket you Invariably hit his heart.
I was amused, however, at his flimsy
arguments and unjust criticism of our
high school of commerce, calling It a
clery factory for boys In knee breeches
and girls with braids hanging down their
backs, orgottlng or overlooking the fact
that the commercial colleges are dili
gently and persistently scouring the
country over for pupils, regardless of
age or preparation, to manufacture
clerks, stenographers, etc., of Immatur
age and without preliminary prepara
tion. In six months, while the high
school of commerce Is giving our grad
uates from the graded schools two and
four-year courses. His attacks on our
high school' of commerce, which ranks
among the highest In the country, accord
ing to reports in our leading educational
periodicals and according to opinions of
educators of tha highest type who have
vlsted the school, is truly amusing, but
wrTen Mr. Ilaynes attacks the need of a
new building for our high school of com
merce, he dlsblaya such dense Ignorance
of educational conditions In Omaha that
I wonder that bis bosses have not stopped
hi pay and dismissed htm from his job.
When he stated that in order to re
lieve the admitted congestion In our high
school of commerce, all that Is needed
Is tov'put the high school of commerce
students In the Central high school, he
speaks ot conditions that he knows ab
solutely nothing about. Had Mr. Haynes
taken pains or time to walk up to the
Central high school and examine the
building he would have seen at a glance
that our Central high school accommo
dates at the most 1.S0O pupils, that the
prssent enrollment in our Central high
school is over 1,600 and that the enroll
ment In the high school of commerce Is
close to 800; he would figure out at a
glance that you cannot put 2,300 children
in a building that will hold only 1,600
and that a separate building for our high
school of commerce Is necessary. Mr.
Haynes, judging from the wild and rash
statements In his letters, evidently has
never visited our Central high school
since it was completed and consequently
does not know what he Is talking about.
When be suggested that the Cass school
be converted Into a technical high school
he shows that he has never seen a tech
nical high school In full operation with
shops, laboratories, machines, eto.
Now he comes out with another tlrado
In an article, "No Additional Schools
Needed," In which he displays still
greater Ignorance and which at a glance
shows that ho Is wholly, unfamiliar with
our schools. It Is quite evident that he
does not know where the Comenlua school
Is located nor whore the Saratoga school
stands. If he did he certainly could not
have suggested that In order to relievo
congestion, for Instance in the Baratog'a
school, all that Is necessary is to trans,
fer the overflow from that school to tho
Comenlus, which has three vacant rooms;
or, In order to remedy the deplorable
condition In Uie Park school, all that Is
needed Is to transfer the pupils from
that school to the Edward Rosewater
school, which has four vacant rooms.
And such absurdities with which his
articles are overfilled aredlshdd out
to the public as facts or remedies for
conditions which prevail. Any man who
has even a faint Idea of the conditions
In our schools and knows the location of
them will gasp In amazement at the
Ignorance dlspluyed by Mr. Haynes arid
I am surprised that good money Is
wasted on such publicity. Mr. Haynes
Is a good writer If familiar with the sub
jeot In hand.
The Board of Education certainly k.nows
the condition of our schools and Is ask
ing for a bond Issue because it knows
the want of school accommodations and
is laying the bare facts before the publlo
to justify the call for bonds. Mr. Haynes,
in his last article, gives a lot of fig
urea in fractions and percentage, but ho
overlooks the fact that In 1S90 the pop
ulation ot Omaha was padded and that
the school -census was also unmercifully
padded In the years 1S90 to 1900. Of
course, we all know that "figures do
not He, but liars will figure." Be It far
from me to even Insinuate that Mr.
Haynes has wilfully distorted the truth
and thrown dust In the eye of the pub
lic I think that he Is Ignorant ot the
facta pertaining to our publlo schools,
has never been inside ot one ot them,
and does not know where our schools
are located. Otherwise he would not or
could' not have written articles which
only distort the true facts and give out
the Impression that there is something
wrong with our school system.
I would have Ignored his writings were
It not that the publlo might think be
cause his Utters were left unanswered
there was truth In them. I take this
means to show how inaccurate hla ar
ticles are and to point out to the fair
minded publlo that he Is only the paid
press agent tor certain Interests and
therefore little credence should 1e given
his writings about our schools or school
system. DR. B. HOLOVTCHINER,
President Board' ot Education.
