The High School Fracas.
Tho fracas over the organization of tho

of a content for control between School board
factions. But even tho spectacular resignation
of a tncmbor because of the rejection of a par
ticular candldato for the position of second vice
principal would not be vital so long as tho effi
ciency and standards of the High school are not
impaired, for, ns a matter of fact, that Is what
mainly concerns the public and school patrons.

that tho competition Is for precedence nnd senl
orlty when the next chango comes, oven though
no such change Is In sight. Fortunately, no
one Is questioning tho competency of ability of
any of tho candidates accorded tho preferment,
nnd so long as that Is no tho personal and polit

seriously disturbing.

Rcnomination of Senator Cummins,
Tho rcnomlnatlon of Sonator Cummins by
Iowa republicans was foreordained and his re
election Is, we bolleve, practically assured. The
reason ia not far to see namely, that Iown has
been caroful to elevate to tho senate only Inen
of rare ability, experience In public affairs and
proved fidelity to the people, and to continue
the commission as long as tho senator continues
to represent his constituency faithfully and ef
fectively. For more than a third of a century
Jowa has changed Us senators only when vacan
cies havo been created by death, which explain
nnd accounts for tho position of leadership .they
have attained and held In national legislation.
We congratulate 8enator Cummins and we con
gratulate the republicans of Iowa that their
primary system servos thorn so well.
Home Rule and the Leaders.
"Homo rule passed without Parnell or Glad
stone," remarks an American noyspapor. Which,
of cottrso, Is no moro correct than It would be
to say that our own republic flourishes without
Washington or Jefferson. Whoro would the
superstructure on which tho present-day leaden
stand have been but for the foundation and
cornorstono laid by the Parnells, tho Gladstones
and tholr contemporaries and predecessors?
Whntover meaBuro of home rule Ireland now
halls Is obviously but the capsheaf of the labors
of those patriots and statesmen of other days.
But the remark quoted Is characteristic of
a tondency to forget In the final flush of vic
tory tho pioneers who "blazod tho way." It Is
so In our own domestic affairs. Men are de
claiming the principle of popular government
in tho United States today with a brashness
that seems to signify they are the originators
of tho Idea, when they are, rathor, tho bene
ficiaries of work done long ago by men who
braved unpopularity and defeat. In the case
of Irish homo rulo no ono, of course, would say
tho struggle began with Parnell or Gladstone,
but lot It not bo said tho consummation would
have come even now hut for what these men
did In advancing tho groat cause.
t , Two Views.
As was to have boon expected, the report
and recommendations on unvorslty consolida
tion of tho four presidents of outside universi
ties moots with varying reception in Lincoln.
Tho Star, which is tho vociferous mouth
plcco for tho property owners pecuniarily In
terested In retaining tho downtown campus,
puts op tho finishing touch by railing tho emi
nent oducators "highbrows," and questioning
tholr honesty by intimating that their vordict
was fixed in advance.
On tho other hand, the Journal, which has
all along taken a moro dispassionate attitude,
gives due omphasls to the importance of the re
port and the high character of the commission's
momborshlp. "It would bo usoloss," It says,
"for thoso who oppose tho conclusions of the
commission to abuse the mon who have attached
their namos to the document, or object to the
manner In which they were chosen, Tho ques
tion before tho state is embodied In the conclu
sions and arguments of tho commission, and
around theso the discussion should revolve."
This advlco of the Journal Is sound, but wo
fear it will not be followed because the somo
logic applied to the ottuatlon by anyone free
from personal Interest would lead to the same
conclusion. The very fact that tho antl-cpnsol-tdatlonlsts
have already started to call nanieu
Is proof of tho paucity of convincing arguments
at their demand.
Again "Nothing to Arbitrate."
Flfty-flve fhousand engineers and firemen
on ninety-eight railroads have been ordorod
through their official channels to vote on tho
question of striking to enforce their demandb
for moro pay nnd revised schedules. They end
the railroads havo come to the point In their
negotiations whoro neither will yield and forcl
blo action Is doomed tho only available step.
Regardless of the merits of tho dispute, the
country's voice and vote are emphatically for no
strike. Tho only thing for tho public to do la
to domand that the contending parties settlo
their Issue some other way than by paralyzing
all kinds of business throughout tho land. For
that would bo the effect of such a strike. And
both tho employes and omploycrs know that.
Of course, If such a strike were declared it
would soon spread to Include every branch of
railroad service and probably every lino east
and west, north and south. Tho thing is sim
ply unthinkable. The people, who would bo
the chlof sufferers, are In no mood for it, es

OMAHA, June l.-To the Editor of The

your cruside against damage suit law
yers. The corrupting Influences In being
felt alt over the country, depriving many
legitimate claimants of their legal rights.
For oxamplc, when acting ns Juror In
suits for damages I have often wondered
how much of the sums awarded Uie
claimants would get.
But r will not Intrude upon your tint.
I will only express the hope that you will
inaugurate a campaign Against split fees
and contingent fees In general. Make It
an Issue with candidates for the legisla
ture. An nntl-oontlngent fee law in In

In that atate.
If these suggealibns meet with your ap

iiXl Charles street. O. M. DE BOLT,
The Club mill ili Church.
IiRADSHAW. Neb., June 2. To the
Editor of Tho Bee: Sometimes our eye
catches a paragraph In The Bee that
makes us feel like saying something
especially when It takes the form of a
question. Here Is one we refer to:
Read that resolution of the Presby
terian general assembly against member
ship In clubs that dispense Intoxicating
drinks, nnd then again ask tho question,
"Why don't men go to church?"
If the- foregoing question contains one
thought, one sentiment that enn be de
duced therefrom. It is that Its nuthor
holds that between the church and the
dub, whero a bar In maintained and
Intoxicants are dispensed, is of so much
higher order than the church that gen
tlemen of high' prominence will naturally
seek the club room rather than the
church. Aro we not correct In our In
terpretation of the sentiments contained
In the question? If so, then we wish to
nsk another question: "Why do men of
wealth and promlnance, who hold that
the club, where Intoxicants are dis
pensed, Is preferable and conduces more
to their pleasure and happiness than the
church, why In the name of common
srnbc, right and Justice, do men, high or
low, holding those views, desire to Ire
cumler the church, which docs not and
cannot tolerate such views, with their
membership; and why should a great
metropolitan daily become so seriously
exercised bccuiisn a church In Its gen
eral assembly has passed resolutions con
forming with Its righteous convictions
and Judgment?" Tho church and the
.saloon can no more .coalesce than can
Christ and belief, and the church that
falls to stand from tinder the saloon Is
sure to be crushed sooner or later. Ia
that not true? JOHN B. DEV.

Justified In looking far safer conditions.
Springfield Republican;- Fate has mocked

magnltudo shaped everybody's Imagina
tion of a, shipwreck. But slnco thon dis
aster has come In almost every form but
that Icebergs have been a source of fre
quent peril, but tho peril has been es
caped. But tho Volturno has been burned,
and the Monroe has boen rammed on the
coast, and now comes tho monstrous ca
tastrophe of tho St. Lawrence, a great
ocean liner sunk, with awful loss of Ilfo

In proportion aa all there other dangers

Editorial Comment on the
SMILING REMARKS,
Nrnr the Goal.
SHoux City Journal: In passing the home rule
bill the House of Commons has completed Its part
of the process required to make a bill a law. fndcr
the Parliament law the measure goca to the ilouite
of Lords for a third time, but this time the veto of
the lords cannot bo effective. Should the upper
house again reject the government homo rulo plan,
It would still become a law on receiving the signa
ture of the king.
Kntl of I, on pc SlrnifKlc.
Pittsburgh Dispatch: Thus Is terminated a fight
begun by the home rule members forty years ago
and adopted by Gladstone twenty-nine yeara ago.
Since tho defeat of Gladstone's home rule bill In
1854 It has ically been tho leading Issue In English
politics. The progress In public opinion from the
time when the fight began Is illustrated by the fact
that at the start the lssuo was represented by its
opponents to Involve tho question of loyalty to the
British union, while now considerable part of the
opposition view with considerable favor a proposition
to glvo self-government on local matters to Scot
land, England and Wales, as well us Ireland.
Amcndmrnta to Conic.
Springfield (Mass.) Republican: The bill Is not
yet law, but It has been passed. The lords have a
month to discuss It if the like, but their acceptance
or rejection does not matter; when that formality ts
over the bill goca to tho king for the royal assent,
and will then bo put upon the statute book. There
la no question of amendments, because whatever
modifications ure made are to bo put Into a separate
amending bill, to bo Introduced by Lord Morlcy In
tho Houso of Lords, and If passed by that body, sent
down to the House of Commons, which will thus
havo tho last word, The effect of thus dividing the
measure Is very curious, Indeed, and It must be said
that It somewhat mars the present moment, which
had been looked forward to by natlonal'sts with such
high anticipations. The homo rule bill Is passed, to
bo sure, but the amendments are still to come, and
both sides arc left In suspense and agitation.
Simple Act of Justice.
Philadelphia Record: To Americans. wh6 can
view this subject moro dispassionately than the
parties In Interest, It will seem that homo rule for
Ireland Is not, only a simple act of Justice to a people,
who have long suffered from oppression, but that It
Is a wise act of political administration as well. It
is the first step toward Introducing the federal sys
tem In Great Britain, with local parliaments for both
Ireland and Scotland. It will be tho earnest hope
of all those Interested In England and Ireland that
tho momentous departure may bo made peacefully.
If this hope Is disappointed and tho hotheads of
Ulster take up arms In opposition to the government,
sympathy, In America at least, will be strongly with
those who have exercised the right of a majority to
rule, and who refuse to surrender to a rebellious mi
nority, Sot nn Experiment. (
Washington Post: It Is not much of an experi
ment that Is being undertaken, with regard to Ire
land. Were It not for tho knowledge of religious
prejudice which prevails In some paits of Ireland, it
would bo difficult to understand how any consider
able portion of the populace would want to prevent
home rule. Ireland already has enjoyed homo rulo.
U was In 17S2 that Henry Grattan, the great Protes
tant leader, succeeded In bringing about the estab
lishment of a free parliament for Ireland. Previous
to that tlmo the Island had been governed under the
Ponsonby act, which required all bills Introduced In
tho Irish .Parliament first to be submitted to tho
British Parliament In London. Tho army of C0.OW
which Henry Grattan marched to "Dublin convinced
Great Britain that Ireland must have her own par
liament and freedom In making laws. Only the klni;
of Kngland had tho right to veto the acts of the
Irish Parliament, as established In response to tho
militant leadership of Grattan. For twenty-eight
years that Parliament, unrestricted and unfettered
made tho laws of Ireland, and during that period
there was prosperity never equaled before or jilnc".

A Triumph for llcilinonil. .
Chicago News: Triumph for Irish home rule Is
no small degree of triumph for John Kdward Red
mond, tho leader whose powerful personality, at once
persuasive, determined, masterful and brilliant, has
cither circumvented or overborne all manner of' re
sistance, and who now, after many years of unre
mitting effort, has carried the home rule bill to' final
victory In tho House of Commons. All that remains
to makA his work constructive statesmanship com
plete la an acceptable agreement with Ulster. As
the home rulo bill had to be carried over the. orig
inal form to be carried over the lords' veto, Jhe
amendments by which It Is hoped to bring about 4
reasonable compromise havo necessarily awaited the
bill's final passage. "The most typically English ot
any living Irishman," Redmond has been called.
Grave, dignified, deliberate, somewhat aloof In hla
manner, he has been described as more like a
prosperous business man than like the leader
of a movement so aflame with sentiment as
the Irish nationalist cause. It Is well, however, that
he Is what ho Is, for he has used English persistence
and English obstinacy as effective weapons In the
fight to which he has dedicated his life.

ODE TO THE CHINESE EGG.
It happened on a summer's day
Across the sea, In old Cathay:
A Chinese hen gave forth her lay
And laid an egg In the orthodox way.

Who saw a chance to make some mon';
He took the eggs up ono by one
The artful, heathen, son-of-a-gun.
And when he'd gathered many thou
III loaded them upon a seow;
Devoured a bunch of "Chink" chow-chow,
Cut off his pig-tall and kissed his frau.
A month went by In V. S, A.
He sold his ggs and got his pay. -
The cgglcts (velly much O. K.),
In the chlllv waiehouso were laid away.
But winter came, and, sad to tell,
That Chlncso hcn-frult looked like
well! The candlcrs gave an awful yell
For the eggs were off. Good-night. Fare
well! So egg consume-s. If you please,
