The Balance-Sheet Test.

Taking the Short Cut.
In taking the short cut to relnstatemen.,
we believe the school board has found the bet
way out In the Stegner case. The action of the
board, at any rate, confirms the position taken
by The Pee In this matter from the outset,
namely, that no one employed on the public
school teaching staff should be dropped from
the list for cause without having charges pre
ferred and an opportunity 'to answer. It s
notorious that this course was not pursued In
the case of Miss 8tegner, and in the cases of
certain other dismissed or demoted teacherj,
and It Is only fair, although It may be a tech
nical procedure, that reinstatement be ac
corded. So far as Miss Stegner Is concerned, we
doubt very much whether any one now has anyJ
interest In formally filing the charges upon
which. It Is alleged, her dismissal was predicated'
What the people of Omaha, and the patrons
or our school, desire above all things, Is efficient
and fonscienlious teaching service, which can
not be had with any degree of certainty either
when appointment and promotion goes by favor
nd pull, or when discipline or dismissal is arbi
trary and without recourse.

It does not take an, expert accountant nor a
big business financier vto translate these fig

tha fiscal year so far elapsed are short over
thirty-six million dollars as compared with the
year before and the expenditures for the samu
period are In excess by forty-six million, dollars.
This is the .showing notwithstanding the added
war tax revenue on one side and the decreased

MNCOlN, Nob.. Jan. 19.-TO the Editor
of The Bee: I have not been Informed
as to w hat particular - appointment Mr.
If. W. Morrow la seeking at the hands of
Governor Morehead, hence I am unable
to figure out Just why he should take
ln.ue with me as to the matter of estab
lishing a state printing plant at the peni
tentiary. I oppose trying to establish a
state printing plant at the penitentiary
for the simple reason that the Idea Is
Idiotic. In the first place, It requires
real brains to be a competent printer,
and, as a result, printers seldom get Into
the penitentiary. Second, the term of
service at the penitentiary averages so
short a time that It Is sheer nonsense to
figure on teaching any number of con
victs the trade. Perhaps Mr. Morrow
would be willing to establish a real es
tate exchange at tha penitentiary, allow
ing the convlcte to handle all the real es
tete and building operations of the state.
That would be Just aa" sensible ss estab
lishing a shop for the purpose of doing
all Mat printing.
Mr. Morrow falls to distinguish between
furnishing convict a wtlh healthfut em
ployment and Putting them Into active
competition with free labor. I believe In
glvliijr the convicts' something to do. but
I am unalterably opposed to allowing
their labor to be exploited! also opposed
to allowing them to be used to batter
down the wage scale of men who are
leading honest and upright lives. Cer
tainly I am not so selfish as te confine
myself to my own trade. What I bold
aa to the printers I hold aa to the mem
bera of any other trade .or profession.
There are many good people who never
think of the sclf-sacrtf Icing, honest and
Industrious worker who Is bustling to
provide bread for bis family, bet who
manages to shed a lot of tears In behalf
of the fellow who proves a "quitter" by
endeavoring to get something for nothing.
I believe the state owes more to the
honest. Iawabiding and industrious worker
than It does to the fellow who goes
w-rong, no matter what his excuse.
I am quite willing to have Governor
Morehead make the experiment. It would
at least prove one thingthat U eimply
cannot be done. Then, perhaps, we would
be relieved of a lot of foolish suggestions
along that line for yeara to come.

NORTH LOUP, Neb., Jan. M.-To the
Editor of The Uee: Any person living
outside of Omaha would naturally sup
pose that the people of Omaha would
stand up for Omaha, but smch does not
seem to be true. I have already received
many voluntary letters rrom legislature
and business men with reepect to water
power leglalatlon, aome from Omaha,
all asking for Information.
The Idea of 'making electricity for ax
heating agent by water power seems to
be a new one to many people, and It ex.
plodes the argument that we may overdo
the making of electricity. I have stated
many times, after having made tha com.
putatlon, that one horse power for one
year, converted to heat is equal to about
one ton of hard coal, tho transmission
being more than 100 miles, Thla com
putation Is based upon the mechanical
equivalent of heA. .. 1
Two years ago I with many others
etodd upon tho Missouri river bridge at
Omaha and someone remarked that "This
Is the longest river In the world." It
was the time of the flood period. Many
peopje really believe the Missouri river
a great nuisance, because of the uncer
tainly of the channel and the 300,000,000
cuWo yards of muj which It wacica Into
the Mississippi annually. From tho en
gineer's view I began studying the Mis
souri. The first thing I did was to go to
a man who assisted Jn constructing ops
of the "bridges to find what sort of foun
dation the piers reated upon. To my
surprise he told me that a few feet be
low the surface those piers rested on
solid rock. With a solid foundation for
dam to arrest the rapid flow tha-Missouri
might be made a valuable stream
for both navigation and water power.
The Missouri at Kansas City flows
W.0OO cublo feet of water per second. If
so much water why it navigation lm
possible? If the Missouri had a fall of
two Inches pr mile Instead of eighteen
Inchee the depth should be Increased
from tn feet to more than forty feet. If
the proper foundation may be "bad, forty
or fifty mil. a apart, the illesouri may be
made one of the moat valuable propertiea
of the nation. Million of horsepower
turntd to current selling as low as Id per
horsepower for a heating agent to take

And made Sunday reaound
With the song of the shovel.
Oh! Oh! Thst snow!
That eott silent now
The high wind made all
Of the nolee, don't vou know
As It shrieked 'round the roota
And whirled up the aatlrs
As If seeking a villain
In hiding somewhere.
Good ole Brer Welsh.
There le one simply dsft
On the way you are handling
Yeur big weather craft:
And will bark up your dictum
O wise weather wizard
That altho 'twas some snow
'Twas py no mesne, a bllzsard.
