As the federal reserve board Is constituted, five memberships are to be filled by appointmont of tho president, and four of tho president's selections have already gono by tho board.

Allon has written, nnd mado public, a lengthy lettor endorsing Richard h. Metcalfe for tho democratic nomination for govornor. Inci dentally, among fragrant nosegays thrown broadcast in it at distinguished democrats, In cluding William J. Bryan, he inserts this little shaft almod at somebody: m , No oho In deceived by the cnnflldato who pledges himself to a single term of office, becnuito It l well understood that If a mnn has served his state nr nation faithfully and well, he Is entitled to an en dorsement at tho hands of his constituents, and that such pledges are mado simply for the purpose of getting votes that could not otherwise be obtained. It Is of tho cheap-John order nnd should not be In dulged In by those worthy of high positions. With no doslro to question the truth of tho senator's blunt words, wo wonder It he had in mind more thnn ono offender to whom thoy ap ply. Just to refronh tho public's memory, let us qtioto this oxcorpt from the letter of acceptance written by William Jonnlngs Dryan on tho oc casion of his first presidential nomination: Ho deeply am I Impressed with tho magnitude of the power vented by the constitution In the chief executlvo of the nation and with the enormous lnflit- onco he can wield for the benefit or Injury ot the people that I wish to enter tho office, If elected,, freo from every personal doslro except the desire O prove worthy of the confidence of my countrymen. Human Judgment Is fallible enough when unbiased by selfish, considerations, and, in order that I may not be tempted to use the patronago of tho office to advance any personal ambition, I hereby announce, with all tho emphasis which words can express, my fixed determination not, under any circumstances, to bo a candidate for re-election. In case this cam paign results In nfr election. Really, does It mako any difference whothor a candidate pledges himself to a single term In order to got tho office of governor or in ordor to got votes for president? Or, to put the ques tion in another way, Did the ox-sonator know ho wan cutting with a two-edged sword?. A Well Earned Compliment. Tho re-oloction ot Superintendent 'Graff by unanimous vote of tho School board for another term ot throo years, notwithstanding tho recent efforts to displace him, Is a compliment of which ho mny well fool proud. When Mr. raff was elevatod to his present position It was well understood that tho promotion was tn a measure experimental, depending upon his abil ity to mako good In supervisory capacity, his previous work having been as principal of the high school. It may bo said, without fear of contradiction, that Superintendent Graff has grown noticeably in his grasp of our school probloms, and his hold upon tho touching force, und that with his assured tenure,; he should be able to do still hotter work for tho schools. The Bole for George Fred. The St, Louis Republic soems to size up the case of George Fred Williams about right. It holds that Goorgo Fred's resignation as our minister plenipotentiary to Groove need ' not mako tho slightest change in his plans and status as on independent; sovereign and au tonomous xnembor ot tho sisterhood of nations, a single-handed Hague tribunal all by himself, tho mediator ot international disputes and ha ranguos. First, lot It bo notod that George Fred's chiof offense was circularizing Europoan coun tries, offering his services as mediator In the Albanian 'crisis. Thus hp constituted himself a tree lance among tho nations, a nation within himself, and thus may he continue o exist. White out of line with the accepted rules ot the game. of diplomacy, no one accuses George Fred ot protending to act the part ot a diplomat, So, let the powers ot continental Europe not over look their opportunity. If they want the Al banian crisis settled, hero Is their settler. At, perchance, they desire permanent and assured peace in tho Balkans, why here, again, Is their man. Let thorn turn tho Job over to George Fred and It Is done. Or, presto, it Albania would like to have a real king, one with opinions that oven tho seal ot a diplomatic office cannot silence and hold back, why, here, Indeed, is Us sovereign already crowded. The exigencies' of the case make it necessary for Mr. Bryan to enduro tho retirement ot his old friend and fellow warrior In that famous "First Battle," aye, and the second, too, but there is little doubt that he would be glad to recommend him tor either of these roles which he is. pre-eminently qualified to till. i sm iri Brief contributions on timely topie lartted.

I quote the follow ing paragraph from the communication In The Bee of July 2- I wan considerably surprised Upon read ing an Item in The Bee In regard to the demands upon General Carranca. This sptctftclo of a nation whose very founda tion In laid on tho rock of religious liberty, demanding of a sister nation that It re saddle Itself with an Institution that has become obnoxious to It Is enough to ma"ke the gods turn In dArlnlon. The communication Is signed F. Cath erine Clark. From her referring to the gods, 1 take this woman to be a pagan. Be that an It may, sho In laboring under a misapprehension. Mexico has had no established church since July 11, 1869 fifty-five yearn. The prcvalllnc religion Is tho Roman Catholic, but the, church Is Independent of the state, and there Is toleration ot all religions. President Wilson Is Btandlng for Just what Miss or Mrs. Clark Is standing for, universal religious toleration, Catholics to receive the same treatment as other religions. Carranxa wishes to confiscate all Catholic church prpperty used for religious pur poses, and to drlvo the Catholic priests out of Mexico. Under the law as It Is, and iu It has been for more years than moat of us have lived, no ecclesiastical Institution can acquire landed property. What Carranza Is demanding, would bo llko. a demand by President Wilson that nil Methodist preachers leave the United States and turn over all churches and ult church furniture to the government. I refer ta tho Statesman's Year Book of MM, for the truth of my statements as to conditions In Mexico. But I will not be drawn Into n. controversy; and no provo cation will Induce mo to write on tho subject again. WILBUR P. BRYANT. Tomorrow. OMAHA. July 7. To the Editor of The Bcel A man Is never more completely deceived than when he Imagines himself ablo to perform tomorrow what could not be dono today. The Idea that n man will' forsake his ovll habits tomorrow and choose a 'better course of life than he runs today Is a deep-seated and danger ous delusion, and the chances are that what we do one day we will do the next, and tomorrow will find us with the same habits and desires as we havo today. To night we sit at tho table with bloated stomachs putting down shell fish and mushrooms, and spending a third of our day's pay In order that our reputation as a. "game sport" will suffer no relapse. But tomorrow ob, yes, tomorrow wo are going to turn a new leaf and start a savings account. Tonight wei sit in the theater or execute the various contortions of the latest eraiy dance until the fires of lust almost burn the heart t6 a cinder; but tomorrow we Intend to make an ex haustive, study of the gospels, learn to subdue our passions and lend an attentive car to tho voice ot wisdom. But by tho time the sun sets tomorrow our pious resolutions will have faded away like the dreams ot an ontum eater. , Thus the years, of llfo wear a,way while " Buuii)i. uui ,n vei new pro posals for amendment on the morrow, and then when tomorrow comes reject all bids, settle back on the old founda. tlon and, begin our salutary schemes all over again. Yet the notion that great. things can be dono tomorrow Is not all a delusion, pro viding we realize the weakness of flesh and blood and put our trust In Clod, who Is able to stimulate our trembling reso lutions, strengthen our moral desires and support our feeble efforts In tho practice ot Piety. E. O. M'INTOSII. Sonic Mnti-Mndc I.ht. OMAHA, July 5. To the Editor of The Bee: I havo waited several days to see If anyone' would call Slsler Munson's at tention to the fact that her advertisement of the achievement ot women In politics In Colorado need have little weight In Nebraska. She boasts as the result of the Colo, rado women getting the vote that Colo rado now has laws that provide for com pulsory education, to make parents re sponsible for their children, fixing the age of consent at 18, and prohibiting child labor, all due to the suffrage. If she had taken a little time beforo the left her Kansas home and had looked up the facts In the case, sho would havo discovered that Nebraska has all the laws she ascribes to woman's Influence In Colorado polities, and that they are well enforced and observed, and that. all were passed by men. and In every'tn stance before Colorado put them on the statute hooks, with the single exception of the Juvenile court law. whose utility In Nebraska may well bo doubted. Several years ago the women of Ne braska employed an Omaha lawyer to draft a new law governing the descent of property, that the widow might be better protected in her property rights, which law waa passed by a legislature com posed exclusively of men, and signed by a male governor with the result that woman Is better protected In her prop erty tights than man In Nebraska at present Could "votes for women" have dono more fotf woman's protection than has been accomplished In Nebraska? Somo reason may exist -for giving woman the privilege of votlnR In Ne braska, but It is not because she does not have her full share of rights under -the laws of the state. M. J. WILSON. Unanimous for Huerta., The Bee's cartoonist has admirably ensed the humor and travesty ot the so-called Mexican election. With Huorta guarding the ballot box to. see that all the votes are duly cast for him and Huerta as each of the voters the picture tells the story. Under orders ot the chief, as placarded. on the wall, the three dummies march around In an endless circle before the ballot box putting In the tickets until tho dictator. Joyfully proclaims himself unanimously re-elected. The burlesque of it all Is thrown Into bolder relief against the background ot the fact that It Is almost a year and a halt since the president ot the United States called on this old medieval usurper to "resign: and still we are calmly and watchfully waiting whtlo Huerta Indulges him self in this interesting sport ot a "presidential election." . Millions Up Smokestack: Facts About Your Goal Bill Wilson and Women Philadelphia Ledger: It Is clear the pmddeut does not think women will have the vote at least by 1916. Washington Post: Ardent suffragist ad. vocates surely do not wish to deprive the administration of the last plank in Its platform. piobe-Demoorat: On the woman suf frage question President Wilson stands by the Baltimore ? platform. On other questions the platform la not so signifi cant. Philadelphia Inquirer; The president re fused to be "croM-examlned" by women, but he won't be able to waive It when he appears before a Jury of public opinion at the next election. Smokf n Wmlit nr Fuel. Tills does not mean that the visible smoke Is the measure of your waste, for much more Invisible heat often escapes without performing Its functions than the smoko would amount to If It had been1 entlrel consumed. A chimney Issuing dense volume's of smoke, whlto formerly considered as a symbol of Industry, Is now known to be a symbol of inefficiency or Ignorance and Increase In manufacturing no longer necessitates an Increase In smoko. "There Is always some fire where there Is smoke,' and with perfect combustion you need not have smoke, arc both still true; but you may have CO per cent Inefficiency or loss of heat, with perfect com bustion, and hence my story. Tell me what Omaha's coal bill Is and I will tell you what her waste Is, or In other words the average avoidable fuel waste In small boiler ;'nU is about 10 per cent. This Is not measured by tho smoke visible at the top ot the staock, for It Is well known' that these volatile and not easily combustible gases' have little heat value. There may be perfect com bustion with only CO per cent efficiency, and no smoke! Every business ma.i knows what last month's coal bill was. Scientific doslgn and construction of the furnace and grates, and proper Instruction and train ing of the firemen as to the details of firing, and eternal vigilance Is the cost of not liberty this time but the efficiency of the boiler plant. Buying cheap coal won't do. Hiring cheaper men won't do. Some times the cheapest of both are the best, but usually tho highest priced ones are the cheapest. Need of Intelligent FIHiik. The successful business man makes the mistake of thinking that because he Is successful in his general business, ho must be equally capable ot Judging what Is best as to the details of his boiler plant, but neither his Judgment nor smoke ordinances nor the stoker salesman's guarantees nor the coal price will give the desired results unless the firing Is done scientifically and Intelligently, and the furnace 1b properly designed and controlled. Tho remedy Is easily within the reach of anyone. The degree of present ''sickness" or Inefficiency can readily be arrived at by a test showing pounds of coal burned for pounds of water evaporated Into steam under certain conditions; and foolish con tracts with agents, guaranteeing percentages of coal saved with their equipment need not be bothered with by tho busy man. Fiery arguments with the engineer or fireman as to the wherefore ot last month's coal bill being larger than tho provlous ono don't help, for these won't evaporate water In the boiler or remedy defects In the furnace, or the quality of the coal, or train the fireman; but all these things can be done surely and definitely, and tho degree of same measured In results of actual per formance. An Important Influence In reducing the amount ot smoko alone would be the Improvement of the meth ods followed by Indifferent firemen. This can be brought abotft by personal Instructions and occa sional performance tests ot Just a general nature to show these firemen the comparative results of their work, and thus give them some Inkling of what they aro actually working for. They will grow to take an Interest In their work, and to welcome tests to see how much better they are doing, and If they are ready for "firing," and you can'tT afford to keep them regardless ot lovable dispositions or cheap prices. ' ' Good nnd find lOfflcleuoy Teats. A recent test (or rather half a test) costing not less than $200 was carried on In Omaha to enable a stoker manufacturer to sell his apparatus; It resulted tn a farce because the owner did not know how efficient his present plant was, or how to make a contract for a better one, but he was brave enough to at tempt It, and to foot a part of the bill without any other result or the reasonable assurance of any. In order that Denver might not lose her reputa tion as a city of magnificent mountain panorama and clear skies, the art commission recently trans mitted a report to the city council asking that defi nite action be taken to protect same, and suggesting' the, following measures; Appointment of three me clianlcal engineers to serve without pay as advisors to the smoke inspector; reference ot new plans or changes ot boiler plants to the smoke Inspector for approval before a building permit Is Issued; exam ination and license of firemen recording, and in spection of boiler plants, and development of a sys tem" ot observation 'and record for violators. It Is further related that the largest power plant emits no smoke; ono ot the largest office buildings, after the Installation of efficient devices, and the adoption of Improved methods, consumes about half as much fuel In 1914 as It did In 1901, under prac tically same conditions of service; one of the city plants at the county hospital has been Improved recently by .Installing a smoke-prpventlng furnace, with the result that the stack ts now practically smokeless, and the economy of the plant has been Increased about 20 per cent. Omaha and every other town certainly wants to save these losses In boiler plant efficiency, and Inci dentally eliminate the smoke nuisance.
