The summary dismissal by the School board of a member of tho High school teaching staff, without even charges, and much less a hearing, after moro than fifteen years' sorvlce and suc cessive promotions, promises to disclose whether tho so-called permanent list affords any perma nency or protection to teachers. It goes with out saying that if the board can dismiss a' per manent list teacher In this fashion, every teacher In tho schools Is exposed to the same treatment, and the permanent list is a farce. No ono will contend that the school teacher Is, or should be, Immune from dismissal for cause, but he, or she, should hovo a right to know what, If any, charges aro mado and nn opportunity to refute them. Our School board Just now Is not in such high public esteem that It can afford to violate its own rules and repudiate Its own obli gations Just to wreak petty vengeance of Indi vidual members. The Morale on Railroads. 60m ft. tmo ago the Economist of Chicago nug gestcd the formation of liome kind of an organlta tlon of railway men to "encourage a high moralo" In the service. It Is a remarkable tact that most of the offenses against law and good morals that are committed In connection with the management of railways are committed In their financing, and that In most cases those who commit them nre mon who have made their money aa bankers, manufac turers or mine operators and have broken Into rail way boards of directors for the apparent purpose of exploiting the roads. In almost every case the railways whose finances aa welt an their operation are directed by men who have come up In the rail way service are not only efficiently, but also hon estly, managed. Railway Age-Oazette. Coming from this well known publication dovoted In tho largo sonso to the best interests of railways, tho statement Is moro significant than if mado by a papor or magazine of loss In timates relations with railroads. The Ago Oazetto hits the bull's-eye when It says that this proposed ethical organization might servo a very practical purpose If laid out on broad enough lines as to Includo In Its membership those who aro really responsible through financial manip ulation for tho grossest of railroad mismanage rrient. t "In such an 'organization wo. suppose that democracy would prevail 'and that those who actually operate railways would bo allowed to chock up and shako the finger of scorn at tho financial powers." A big grain of truth la con cealed in this irony. If such a genuine reform lng and raising of moral standards could be ef fected It would have a tremendous Influence also on other Industries, as well as the railroads. And until those who dictate nnd dominate the railroads from Wall street, largely for specula tive purposes, begin whatever work of regenera tion Is needed little chango may be expected. Streams aro purified at their sources. It Is no longer possible to fool tho poople, either those In or out of the employ of tho railroads, as to this principle). 1 ' False Views. That "educated" Indian who, addressing a federation of his people, deplored tho failure of civilization and preferred tho primitive life of hjs race becauso ha ,saw "crime 'running ram pant" and "tho atrugglo of capital and labor" going on, togothor with other social' nd Jodusv trial Inequalities arid' oppressions, is not well educated as ho might be or ho would know, bot tor than, tp Judge civilization or anything olso on tho basis of Its faults Instead of ita virtues. Superficial thlnkors doubtless applauded tho Indian's Uttcronco and said he was right. Of course, ho was woefully wrong, But tho trou bio Is that so many more besides Indians are disposed to tako BUch short-sighted and false vlows of tho situation. Is man, "made lh (he imago of God," so weak and frail a creature that ho cannot ond.ure tho struggle of righting wrong, of equalizing oppressions, of bringing order out of chaos? Civilization Is nothing. but the growth and dovolopmont of the race- It has had Its struggles from tho beginning and win navo them to tho end. Tho hlstpry. of, tho aborlgino is ono of them. The status 'of tho American Indian In this twentieth century of light and reason, of tolerance and Justice, of genius and progress, of "equal rights to all and op"oclal prlvjlogos to none," Is one of the ad vanced milestones In tho courso of this develop ment. This very pessimistic Indian In this very pesslmlstlo speech otands as a tribute both to trio beneficence and wisdom, as well aa the tri umph of civilization. The very fact that th red man, the brown man, the black, yellow or white man can stand on any dry goods box In this land and denounce this civilization in th clamorous delight of an unthinking rabble Is nnai and irrefutable proof of tho irresistible power of the vory thing against which he In veighs. Crime Is not rampant among those who are graduated into tho higher classes of civilization and struggles between capital and labor are not without their fruits of larger mutual rights and relations, a higher sense of justice. Happily for the 'strengthening of the raco, civilization can look about and find plenty to keep it profita bly employed for an Indefinitely long time to come. Slow-Going Haste. Tho reserve board, which Is to hav direction of the regional banks created under the" new currency law. Is only now completed many months after the bill was rushed through con gross under whip and spur of tho president as an emergency act. It will bo recalled how even some democrats, as well as republicans In the house and senate, reflecting In part sentiment from the outside, Insisted on more deliberate ac tion in the passage of this measure, but all" in rain, as tho president was determined on' put ting it through as hastily as possible. ' The tardy completion of the reserve Board, now makes clear the fact that no great, emer gency demanded such haste, while on tho other hand a, good deal might have been gained by greater deliberation in considering and framing the currency act. Of course, It is plain now, as it was then, that the president felt sure of being able to control his party In congress and, fearing dangers In delay, proposed to take no chances on putting through the bill. Whether that Is tho best way in which to dispose of such Impor tant issues is the question. It Is rather striking proof of the fact, howerer, that Mr. Wilson Is both chief executive and congress Just now. It would' be most intolerable It this psycho logically depressed condition ot business were to result In scaling down the price of Mr. Bryan's chauUlks. Y HI Brief contributions on Umaly . topics Invited. The Bee assumes no. responsibility for opinions of eerrevpondrmta'. All letter suk Jtc to oondensatloa by editor. VotlnK (Inaltf Irntlon In Nebraska. THAL.HEIM, Cal., June ' ll.-To the Editor of The Bee: am a reader of The Bee and a former citizen of Ne braska. Will you please answer the 'ol lowing question In your letter boxi "Can a foreign-born citizen of Nebrsa'tu Mill Vote on his first papers?" I think he can.- Rome Omaha people think he cannot since 1910. REINHOLD FISCHER. Answer: May vote 6n first papers after six months' residence In Nebraska. Short One. OMAHA. June l.-To the Editor of The Bee: Considering the shortness -of 'Ife and the uncertainty ot the hereafter, no young man ought to spend more 'han eight hours a day exercising a dog; yet If the dog Is Intelligent and discriminat ing, he may find some good qualities, even In a blubbering Idiot,- that would be worth Imitating. The best way to remember a thing Is to try to forget It. The Idea that we can forget thlnga by trying Is an error, and the more we practice forgetting, the moro we remember what we are trying to for get. The spendthrift would take more pleas ure If he could, and the miser could' en Joy more If he would; they laugh at each other, and the world laughs at both, so everybody Is happy. If the "meek Inhert the earth," the poor, must be awfully proud, for they Inherit nothing. It Is likewise certain that the only way a meek man could get 'he earth, or any portion of It, would be by Inheritance. It Is not proper to call a man poor until he has lost his job and gone three days without eating; nor to pronounce a man rich until he own five automobile and a choice collection of soul-mates. Some folks are- bom happy, others achieve happiness, and yet there are some who never twisted a tango, never role behind a snorting 'automobile at a mile a minute, and some few have not oven been divorced. E. O, M'INTOSll. Flsrtirebt-nd Normal Prmlrients. OMAHA, Juno IS. To the Editor of The Bee: The State Normal board Is to meet at Wayne June 23, among other things to consider the selection of a Pres. Ident for the Kearney normal. It Is said the two teacher member have about given up the Idea ot occupying the place they helped to make vacant. It Is gen erally understood that Oelzell and Cav. Iness. directed by Majors, are largely re sponsible for certain rules recently adopted which will prevent any com petent man, who knows conditions, from accepting the place. Under tho rules, the president Is the nominal head, but has no authority to do anything. He must consult his regis trar for permission to do practically everything. The president has no voice In the selection of apparatus, furniture. supplies or equipment, Neither can lie exercise anyi direction dn the care ot the grO.uhdfl andt buildings, the placing of wiUtfa nor the! lighting and ornamenting of the premises. The Janitors and other latrarera are specifically placed under the direction of the registrar. Tho president has no authority to ask a Janitor to pick up. a piece of paper, clean a window, seep a floor or move a piece of furni ture. The president has nothing to do with the printing. All that seems to be left for the president Is permission to visit classes occasionally. The statutes make the president of the normal school Its chief executive ofricer, with all others connected with It sub ordinate to him. Tho president, who la held responsible for the general policy and efficiency of the school, has his hands tied by, these foolish and highly unnecessary restrictions. According to good authority, the rules making the president a mere figurehead wero what decided Chancellor Fullmer to decline the position. The first thing the board should do ts to restore to heads. of the normal school the right which Is theirs by law to be the real and not the nominal heads. If the board will do this and then quit doing fool things all the time, Its members will not have so much occasion to isk. "Why Is the normal board being critl claed so much?' R. I MOORE. Overstepping the Limit. OMAHA, June 1. To the Editor of The Bee: I was out to lianscom park a few evenings ago when a couple ot men on motorcycles drove up and I heard a gen tleman , say they were police, and pro-. cecded to turn their searchlights on sv eryone. Several parties strolling around, as well as those sitting on the park chairs, were subjected to their search lights In a manner most humiliating. It seems to me the police. It they were po lice, could be used to better advantage. SUBSCRIBER. Trade Statistics Scotland last year mined 3,184,000 torn ot. shale. United States In 1913 Imported J,K7,1 pounds of mica.

Why? The Outlook Asks This Question and Undertakes to . Give the Answer. Business Is disorganized. New enterprises are not begun; old enterprises are curtailing their, business; willing workers are laid off; every morning news paper reports the cry of the unemployed; dividends aro reduced or passed altogether. The crbps are promising; conditions demand' prosperity. But busi ness Is not good; prosperity Is conspicuously absent XVhyl Mexico 'does not want war; the United States does not want war, and yet we are In a state of restrained war with Mexico. American properly has been looted; scores of American cltlsens have been killed. The American flag has furnished no protection; for pro tection' Americans have fled, to the English and Ger man flags. The hostility ot the Mexicans to the United States Js Jncreased; their respect for the courage and efficiency ot the United States is di minished. That our relations with England, Ger many and Spain are 'not more eerlosuly strained is duj to their unparalleled patience That we are not embroiled In actual warfare with Mexico Is due to the kindly offices of our South American neighbors. No one .wants war and yet we are on the edge of war. Why? We have had the responsibilities and duties of sov ereignty thrust upon us In the Philippines. We have fulfilled those responsibilities and performed those duties with notable success. We have substituted law for anarchy and a domestic government partially rep resentative 'for a foreign government wholly des potic. We have subdued hostile tribes, made life and properly safe, banished epidemics, established a pub lic, school system, built good roads, promoted com merce and Industry and furnished protection to a helpless people from foreign aggression. It Is now proposed to acknowledge ourselves unable to continue that protection without aid -and to Invite Japan and Great Britain td share with us In furnishing It; to abandon the attempt t6 protect the peaceful cltlrene from he Ignorance of the many and the misgovern ment ot the few, and to leave this people unaided to struggle their way as best they can from childhood to maturity. Why? , f The answer Is simple. This democratic admlhletra tratlon does not believe tn a strong government. It fears that the strong government will be a despotic government. It seeks refuge from that peril In weakness,. ' It confronts great Industrial organisations. It does not believe In making the government strong enough to regulate such organizations and compel them to deal Justly with the people. It. therefore, endeavors to disorganize these 'business organizations and convert each one of them Into, two or more competing rivals, Buslntss Is disorganized because It Is the avowed policy of the present democratic ad ministration to disorganize business. Mexico Is torn by" contending fact'ons, neither of which recognizes the necessary conditions of peace or the modern laws of war. The democratic admin istration docs not believe In maintaining a govern ment strong enough to say to both factions: The laws ot war toward honccmbatants must and shall be obeyed. So It looks on appalled, but inert while ban dits plunder and assassins murder. It will pursuade, but not enforce It; It will Intermeddle, but not Inter vene. It looks across the ocean and eees an Island undet the protection of the American flag; learning under American tuition the lesson ot self-government. But It does not belleve that the United States govern. .ment Is oh should b strong enough to protect and Instruct a people on the other side ot the globe,, It' believes" that" this" nation neither has" nor-ought to have the power to complete the task which It has .begun. It . therefore, proposes that tho United States enter into one of those entangling alliances with for eign' nation's 'against which Washington warned his countrymen, pay for this alliance by disavowing the right of the United States to control the canal built by the money of the United States through the terri tory of the United States and then pull down our .flag-In the Philippine and retire, wtlh confession of our weakness, from our uncompleted undertaking. It Is sometimes said that It makes, little difference what men believe If their "characters are good. No one questions the character of President Wilson and his advisers. Their Intentions are excellent; their spirit Is patriotic'. But they believe that a strong government Is perilous to Individual liberty, that In weakness Is safety. It Is this belief which has Invited disaster at home, brought dishonor in Mexico and now summons us to retreat from the Philippines. Consist ently applied, It would withdraw our flag from Hawaii and Porto Rico, abandon our protectorate In Cuba and transform the Panama canal Into an Inter national highway, owned, regulated and policed by an International commission. The American people have the opportunity this fall to elect a house of representatives- which be lieves In a strong government able to control the great Industrial organization at home, able to protect persons and property in Mexico and able to carry to a splendid consummation the national work so splen didly commenced In the Philippines, it Is for them to decide whether the policy which In fifteen months has brought us to the present conditions, at home and abroad, shall be continued or halted now and In 1916 .reversed. People and Events Mr. Tesla Joins the prophetic chorus of electrical wizards. He foresees the day when aeroplane with out engine or fuel, impelled and directed by wireless. Next! By ballot. Dr. Charles W. Eliot has been declared the first citizen of Massachusetts. The decision might be good even If the map were enlarged by taking In the rest ot New England and a good deal ot territory 'west of New England. Mr. and Mrs. Harold' Speck of Nlekerton,' Kan., are spending their honeymoon at school, the bride groom taking a short course In farming at the state college, while the bride at the same institution is studying domestic science. An echo of past times and conditions comes with the news that the only man who could read Horace Greeley's wrlt'ng to print It Is dead. It Is no longer a mark of genius to send Illegible writing for the printing prets. The typewriter has changed all that. .' A number of rich New Yorkers have organized a corporation with 11,000,000 capital for the purpose of establishing a chain of poor men's banks which will loan money at low Interest rates in competition with "loan sharks," Clark Williams, former state comptroller, heads the corporation. Mme. Schumann-Helnk, having chased No. S out of the clover, says she'll never again take on the matrimonial yoke. A woman so charming and gifted as a money-producer will have some Job shooing away gallants eager to banish her lonellnee and help her spend the money. Mere man ahlnes In that role. Vtncenxo Perugia, who stole "Mona Lisa," gets oft with a light sentence tor one who gave the civilized world so much anxiety, but It Is likely that ha was a little unbalanced. The moat unfortunate conse quence of his exploit of 1911 Is the stimulus which It haa given to the British vandalets, who have muti lated worka ot art Instead ot merely stealing them.
