Of
King Rule of Normals Must End.
Our law-makers should by all means give tho
people early relief from the Intolerable ring rulo
in control of our Nebraska normal schools.
With altogether too brief Intermissions, the
management of theso schools by a board of
politicians and wire-pullers has produced a con
tinuous succession of Internal disturbances, ex
travagance, nepotism and petty graft, all work
ing to tho detriment of the Institutions and
tending to impair their educational efficiency
A new deal In normal school control Is im
peratively demanded. Tho pooplo would be
satisfied if the normal schools could be put un
der the board of university regents or under tho
state board of control, although apparently any
change would bo an Improvement
To let these schools continue to bo the foot
ball of partisan politics and personal trading
for board members, appointed by the governor
In discharge of political debts, is a menace to
our whole public school system, of which tho
normals aro tho keystone.
Failure on the part of the next legislature
to grapplo with this problem, and to attempt a
solution of It, would bo a gross dereliction cf

Banging the Baggage Around.
Tho Western Association of Baggage Agents
has concluded that it ought to exort an effort
to break up tho "Indoor sport" of banging tho
traveling public's luggago around much to tho
latter's inconvenience and loss. The traveling
public will bo gratified, even though tho actu
ating causo is the growing number and amount
of damage claims instead entirely of unsolflsh
solicitude for tho rights of tho traveling public.
So long as tho patrons of railroads quietly
put up with tho Imposition of having their grips
and trunks damaged by careless handling, tnc
railroads bxhlblted very llttlo concern about t!i3
matter, but when tho patrons began to avail
themselves of their rights and privileges under
tho law of holding the companies for their dam
ages, tho worm turned. And wo may expect to
note a very prompt and decided improvement
in the situation. If orders havo gono forth
from headquarters for moro careful haudllng
of baggage wo may be suro the baggage will be
carefully handled. Railroads aro not run for
tho purpose of repairing useless damages in
curred by indifferent employes.
In this connection perhaps It is not too much
to expect that the traveler may yet bo able to
walk up to tho average depot baggageman ar.d
havo his luggago chocked or handed to him
without having to stand for what Incivility thnt
nustero individual sees fit to accord. It is
strange tho public has been so patient with re
spoct to theso things on tho part o' some com
mon carriers. But it is .a tribute to the good
Bonso of tho railroads that they havo como ovn
this late in tho day to correct matters. They
havo the foolhardy example of tho express com
panies before them as due warning of what to
expect otherwise.

High Estate of Woman.
Bishop Oldham of tho Methodist church re
turning from Asia, though an American, Is Im
pressed with "the amazingly high placo given to
the woman" as tho "most remarkable thing iu
this country." To us, who have not been, ns ho
has, in direct contact with boiuo of the old
eastern lands where woman's degradation Ib
traditional, this may seem but a banality, and
yet it Is moro than remarkable, It la the dis
tinguishing fact of our civilization, as compared
with that of those dther countrtos.
The significance of this Is reflected in our
contact with these distant and less fortunate
peoples. All over Asia a new day has dawned
for woman largely because- of American Influ
ence by precopt and example. Tho stud on t of
current history who has followed events of tho
last decade In China, Korea, Japan and Slam,
to say nothing of India, knows the Impact with
which we have Impressed on these people our
conceptions of womanhood. Indeed, it Is not
too much to say that theso countries advance
very largely in proportion as they respond to
this pungent touch of our influence. They de
velop along lines of modorn civilization ac
cording to the social status of woman. In no
land, not excepting England, as the Impending
conflict over equal suffrage Indicates, is woman.
as conspicuously exalted In all phases of social
life as in tho United States.
When we really start on the Job of "opening
Alaska" It will be another great boon to the
west. The fact is, it is hard to do anything big
and worthy in this country today without mak
ing it a special benefaction to this wide old
western dominion of wealth and opportunity.

The Proposed Art Home.
OMAHA, March M.-To the Editor of
The Bees As long aa tho mcmuera cf
the Kim Arts society contlnvd to their
own members the solicitation of funds
for a club-house It was their affair akne,
but when they ank the public for money
not only for the Institution llsnlf, but for
the necessary yearly maintenance fltnd,
the wisdom of the proposal enterprise
becomes a question open 'o JlacurHlon.
By the terms of his will Mr. Turner
provided ti.000 a year for the bare main
tenance of the property until sold. This
probably does not provldn for watering
the lawn In summer ami lv dinner
are the maintenance of this property as
an art home will entail a minimum an
nual Upkeep of $6,000 or J.7.O00.
The hope of any substantial returns
from rental Is nn Iridescent dream. How
can the yearly expenditure of such a sum
bo Justified on the basis of tvhat 'he so
ciety has done for art In Omaha find In
view of the fact that .here pro no specific
demands upon the society :hat cannot bo
well met 'with the present facllltlej?
"What would be the answer if the Mrn-
delssohn choir, for Instance, with tta
magnificent record of performance were
to ask for a homo the upkeep nlono of
which would be from KM U H.iKJO a
year? Surely thero Is no co.-npaHson 1 e
tween what the Mendelssohn rholr rm-nns
to this city and what a fine arts home
would mean. ,
Would It not be a Rrcat deal better to
use that $7,000 a year, which the main
tenance alone of tho home would cjst. In
fcrttlng creditable exhibit of paintings
and encouraging the establishment of a
good school for art In Omaha?
There are only two ways for itn In
dividual or community to become" appre
ciative of art. One Is by frequent exhibits
of meritorious pictures that teach the
eye to understand color, and the other Is
by teaching people the art of drawing f nd
painting.

Justice.
NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., March IS.
To the Editor of The Bee: Although I
haven't th'evote, I have an opinion. It
Is In this Instance In regard to the case of
Leo Frank. Will you permit ne to ex
press It In your paper? I am glad to
say that I have never found one unjunt
sentence in all the editorials and com
ments contained In your paper. Many
cases In many courts In the United
States have been Justly dealt with, but
of those cases which seem to me very
unjust I wish to speak.
No man. whether Jew of Gentile ahiu'.d
be hung or otherwise put to death, when
the evidence of guilt is circumstantial.
Imprisonment for life would be far more
JubL It would give the real murderer,
whether' the accused cr another, time to
confess his guilt, nnd be repentant. Where
there la an eye witness or the accused 'h
known to be vicious and tho death of tho
victim would have been of great benefit
to the 'accused, then death Is the best
(afrguard fdr society.
In tho unprejudiced mind thero Is no
Juxtlrc In hanging Leo Frank, accused of
hlllng a gtrl (whom a negro found and
reported) In the factory where Frank Is a
superintendent. If some of the evidence
.loos look dark for him most of It IooIch
liko he Is Innocent of this crime.
A few cases where Justice evas not dono
aro as follows:
Not long ago a man (?) was convicted
of killing a dancing teacher and also
confessed to having killed twelve other
women. He seemed proud of the fart and
bragged of how easily he committed
the murders. This person It seems 's to
bo gven a new trial and If freed will
ihe has promised onter the ministry.
Another was the caso of a woman to
be hung because her lover kilted her
husband, and Justice pretends tn be very
lenient and long suffering for waiting for
this woman' baby to ba born before they
hang her. She had no direct hand In the
murder and If she know of It and con
sented to It Imprisonment for life would
be the Jut sentence
Another was the case of a woman to
town plcknlcklng: A man goes scott
free, although admitting his guilt and
every bit of evidence points to his guilt jf
carrying his own new-born baby around
for hours In a closed sultcaso till It
died. Simply because this grown man,
thU unnatural father, did not take this
defenceless babe and choke It with his
two big hands he w"alks tho streets ft.
free man.
Has Justice,' pure, true and righteous
departed from the earth? If It has I can
tell ypu why. Not long ago there was
talk of omitting the words "In Ood wo
trust" from tho new money to be coined
by the United State mint. If this ts done
should there not be a law made causing
the truth to appear where theso words
were? It should read: '-In gold we
trust."
What does It mean? When any coun
try la in danger of forsaking Justlct nnd
mercy and setting up the golden calf-of
commercialism justice has a small pi am
in that cogntry and the end of Its great
nesa Is not fur.
So let us all see to It that Justice get
not tho sleeping sickness In this case.
ELIZABETH BOW EN.
The White House as
a Source of News
Told by Robert D. Heinl to the
Pulitzer School of Journalism.
GRINS AND GROANS.
FAXIT I.
The White Houso ts eab'.y tho most Interesting
source, of news. Each year tho reading public de
mands moro knowledge regarding the personal atti
tude of the president of tho United States on great
questions, and In every succeeding administration
added pressure haa been brought to bear upon the
chief executive of the nation to secure his Intimate
views. And yet, even to this day tho president may
not be quoted without his personal consent. No
matter what he says to a newspaper man In private,
the latter Is not expected to use the comments ver
batim, or to credit them to him, without explicit
authorization,
Mr, Lincoln saw alt comers, day or night, but,
with the enormous growth of the country since then,
the task of gaining the president's ear has become
Increasingly difficult. Mr. Cleveland seldom or never
met the newspaper men In person. Indeed, In those
days no regular men were assigned to "cover" tho
White House as- they are at present, and publlo men
had not been trained to meet the approach of a cor
respondent In the Informal manner of today. Even
as recently as Mr. McKlnley's time no provision was
made for the newspaper representatives. If a states
man had been held up as he was leaving a presiden
tial conference, ho would undoubtedly have expressed
his displeasure. Today If the prominent senator or
cabinet officer Is not stopped .as he departs from the
executive offices, he Is apt to glance In the direction
of the press room, or wonder why he Is slighted
President Boosevelt seldom Invited tho press In as
a body. When ho had anything to give out Inn gen
eral way, tho Invitation was personal to each cor
respondent. Secretary Loeb chocked off the men who
wero to be called and gave tho list to the White
House telephone operators. Clifford Plnchot got his
big conservation congress movement going In this
way. Mr. Roosevelt called In forty or fifty corre
spondents, and, after a few minutes' talk, he switched
them on to Mr. Plnchot. y
It half' a dozen or so newspaper men happened to
be sifted down to tho last few minutes In tho cabinet
room where congressmen and senators had. assembled
to consult with tho president, Mr. Boosevelt, aa ho
removed his spectacles and stepped Into the anteroom
where the barber was In readiness (always exactly
at 1 o'clock), would wave tho correspondents In and
around him with some facetious remark. While tho
barber .lathered tho president, tho correspondents
would direct questions.
Tho correspondent who didn't know what he was
afterwho was Just looking for news seldom got by
Secsetary Locb for a presidential Interview; but the
mart who could outline the "bones" of a good yarn
ho knew was In the air usually was certified to the
doorkeeper for a seat In the cabinet room, thero to
take his tun with the other callers. Often two or
three correspondents were allowed to get In line with
the twenty or thirty "handshakers" the president saw
at 12 o'clock. On reaching the president they would
signify their wish for a chat and drop aside for a
seat In the cabinet room. As Mr. Roosevelt went
about the room disposing of the politicians, he
either loft these correspondents until the last or
whispered to them quietly to step Into th Inner of
fice, to be seen later.

Mr. Boosevelt possessed Infinite skill In separating
the sheep from the goats. He came to know tho cor
respondents, what Bort of story each was likely to txi
after, and Just how their respective papers would
produce, tho stuff. This naturally led to many ex
pedients fop giving them tho few moments they
needed-such as thehavlng hour. Often he would
sift out the crowd until he found himself alone with
the correspondents of tho New York or Chicago
papers, and perhaps one or two others. Then ho
would sit down with them, and for twenty minutes
there would be talk of the frankest sort, mixed with
hilarity nnd takeoffs on the men Who were "mixing
things" with the president.
My friend, Arthur C. Johnson of the Denver News,
told mo of a gathering of- this sort In which one of
tho correspondents called attention to a criticism In
certain papers of that morning wherein, as proof of
the charge that Mr. Roosevelt Intended to rule the
United States as a czar, was cited a dispatch he had
sent to the president of a South American republic,
congratulating him on his birthday anniversary nnd
using tho expression "me and my people," Mr,
RooKevelt laughingly called attention to tho fact that
Alvey A, Adee, second assistant secretary of state,
wrote and sent all these dispatches, and gaily re
marked that he would have to coll Alvcy across the
road dally to have his dispatches signed In person.
"The fact of the matter Is," said Mr. Roosevelt,
"I am compelled by precedent and custom to send
telegrams of this sort throughout the world every
day."
Then tho president suddenly newougm nirascii 01

unle'n they could demonstrate something Mr. Loen
himself couldn't produce, inaeea, icr nes ir
correspondents. It was often a half-day's work to get
an Interview with Mr. ioeo.
Mr. Roosevelt was not long in finding out that
thero was thin picking on news In Washington of a
Sunduv evening, and he held over many a story foi
the Monday page. It was usually In the form of a
piece of hand-out. Tho teiepnona operators un
nounced to a few of the big offices. Including tho
a Tirsua that it was to be. had. When the
correspondents showed up for It. Mr. Loeb usually
was conveniently' by to give oui wnm iu,iBiii
matlon. There was no hesitation In giving some
paper n exclusive story If It was considered a better
way to make tho stuff catch. It Is safe to say that
more "scoopa'' came out of the White House during
the seven ycara of Roosevelt's administration than
ever did before, or have since.
Unlike President Wilson, Mr, Roosevelt often
chatted about family matters with close friends who
called during office hours. Any clever thing th-
Roosevelt children had dono was exploited and prop
erly embellished, not for the purpose of getting them
Into Print, but as part of -the hour's conversation.
When Archie Roosevelt, sick abed for several days,
called for his pet pony and had It brought upstairs
on the elevator and Into his bedroom. It, of course,
made a capital story. There was also a human-Interest
story for tho correspondents when one of the
Roosevelt children created considerable amusement
by clambering down the front stairs of the White
House apartments in his nightie. A brlU'ant anl
dignified diplomatic reception was in fulr sfray, at
the time. President Roosevelt had sehtfc0 children
