A Blot Upon Georgia. What are they up to In Georgia with this new sgltatlon and uprising over alleged plots to free T.o M. Frank? To this question propounded by 7 he Bee four days ago, we now have the answer In the attempted ansaaelnatlon of Frank, Commenting on the reports from Georgia at that time, The Bee gave eipreselon to its fore bodings as follows: To the obeerrer at thla dlatanoa all thla maneuver ing to kep popular prejudice excited In Oeorrla looka Itka a continuation of tha outraawua performanrce which hare already ao dkwredlted that atata, and, mora than that. Ilka a deliberate attempt to lay tha foundation for, and to Inatlrate, another murder "a la Madero" under pretenae of shooting Frank down while tryinff to eace,pe. Rofore the people of the rret of the country, the atata of Oeorirla la today aa much on trial aa Frank rr was, except that tha Georgia people have tha verdict In their own hand. Whether the assailant of Frank was directly incited to his act or was goaded to it by the continued outpouring of mob maledictions, no one can doubt that he was persuaded the people of Georgia were demanding that Frank suffer death and that by making himself the instru ment for killing Frank, he would earn his own freedom as a reward. The whole outrageous proceeding is a foul blot upon the stste of Georgia which it will never wipe out X bail waa eivea at Huffman hall on South Thlc tentlt atreet for tha benefit of Mra.

After an energetic publicity campaign im preaslng upon the people the dire necessity of additional school facilities to relieve existing pressure, a bond issue of $1,000,000 was submitted and voted, almost without opposition, at the election held the first Tuesday of last May, 81 nee then the third month is now pass ing with no move being made, so far as the pub lic is aware, in the direction of getting down to business with the construction of new school buildings. First the delay was ascribed to the desire to wait until It was definitely known whether consolidation would carry, but the con solidation election Is nearly two months In the distance, to can have nothing to do with present conditions. The main point la that If the school build ings were so urgent in April, how can they be less urgent In July? How can It be possible to relieve school congestion the coming year if the building season Is permitted to go by Without even a start, when to erect a suitable structure In the proper manner will at best consume from six to ten months? It is hardly likely, we know, that the entire million dollars can be advan tageously used on new school buildings all at once, but the voting of the money was In re sponse to a specific demand, and the Intention was that this demand should be met, not next year, or In the dim and distant future, but now. The Governor and Good Boads. Every citizen of Nebraska can Join with Gov ernor Morehead la his advocacy ot the good roads campaign. Much progress haa been made In Nebraska already, for here the roads problem Is not 'Involved with many of the complications and difficulties presented else where. This state Is well favored by nature for the easy construction and maintenance of fine high roads, which fact perhaps accounts for the people lagging somewhat behind In their efforts to Improve on nature, even so slightly. No matter from what source came the stimulus, the apathy in this direction has been overcome, and Nebraskans are now as much Interested as any In the condition of their highways. As a result the state Is gaining much in the estimation ot those who travel between towns by modern methods, but the existing good roads can easily be made better, and effort expended on them will be well repaid. The Newest Submarine. A few days ago a submersible boat of the American navy came Into New York harbor from a South Atlantlo station, after a non-stop run of 1,850 miles. 80 far as Is known, this exceeds any performance of this type of boat elsewhere recorded. Now. the latest of these craft has shown by careful test that It haa a cruising radius of 6,000 miles, or that It can cross the Atlantlo to Europe and return without taking on fuel or other supplies. Ordinarily, this In formation would not be ot more than momentary concern to the publlo, but In these days when alarmists are dinning Into the public ear that our navy is deteriorating, that we are at de fenseless as an oyster without a shell and the Inventive genius of the country Is to be enlisted In hope of saving us, It Is well to realise that our naval designers and constructor are capa ble of producing craft as efficient at any ever known, and in rotny particulars superior. The O-l ought to be good for the nerves ot some. The Saengtrfest Omaha this week is again to have the pleas ure of entertaining the Northwestern Baenger bund, and will give theee sin gen joyous welcome ror the message of music they bring. The asso ciated societies of this organisation are devoted to the moat rational of ways ot recreation, pop ular In conception and government and giving everyone a chanc to show his ability and share la th achievement according to his capaolty. The programs for the concerts In Omaha Include excellent music, representative ot past and present, and many noted soloists are to charm the audiences by the display of their wonderful gifts. But the most impressive spectacle will be the massed choruses, pouring out In mighty volume the melody of their songs. It will be a welcome break tn the mid-summer life of the city, and the singers will be accordingly sp preclated. . In time of peace the distinctive feature of the July 14 celebrations in Paris haa been the decoration ot the Straasburg statuary, one of several groups contributed by different cities and provinces for the adornment ot the famous Place de la Concorde. Around It clusters the memories ot 1171, when Alsace-Lorraine were torn from France and the Cathedral city passed to possession ot the conquerors. The group Is rarely without decorations, renewed from time to time by patrlotlo pilgrimages. Harvest hands, picnickers and other close- to-nature devotee are cautioned to swat the Jigger.

WHEN Mra Oraon cam bee from viiatlna her eon In Chlcairo, everybody waa enrtone to hear all about him. Mra. Careon amlllnsly ad mitted that her eon waa really amaalrurly proeperoua ; that It waa all true about her daua-hter-lnelaw's Mmotiatne and French maid and beautiful clothea, and aha aeemed delighted with the proapertty In which they lived. "They are spending far. far too much money," aha aatd, "John doea make a larre Income, but nothing Ilka enough to warrant their evpenae. I waa almply scared at tha awful wrnate I saw all alone; tha line. Mary'a clothee ao many of thern and so eoatlyl Tha ria, the allver, the tmneceaeary servants, tha food oh. tha food! Tha whole thlmr tot ao on my nerves that I coiil d not wait to come home; It Juat spoiled my visit." "But don't you think you Juat Imagined It waa all too eoetly? May not your eon have mora money than you realise and wlah to live In that style?" "Ah, that's the trouble!" Mra. Careon retorts 1. One nlirht Mary was out, and John and I had a long, long talk In hla atudy; we eat rloea up to tha fir and vial ted aa we have not had a chano to elnoe he was a boy and we two lived here atone. "Mother," he eald. It's rooa to aee you! X love your taJn Weclt dreaa; and your hair Is ao nice and emooth it looks good to me! And I love to have yoa refue to eat aweetihreada and fancy ealada, and to want to make pour own bed and duat tha parlors, I hat all this fuaa myaetr. I'd HVa to go beak and be attnpl and eenalble a rain, Juat as you and I ueed to ba In the old house at home.' And h sighed so that I Just sched all ever. . "" 'Tell me all about it. John,' I aald; 'tell m everythlnaT. I've waited for years to have a real visit with you' you know thla la the ft rat time I've been went alnr he waa married 'and I want you to be Juat as open and frank with me as when you were a boy.' And ha did tell me" Bhe stopped and looked out of the window and the llnee tn her face deepened. "TThen Mary married him they had rather a small Income. Mary had been an only child and accuatomed to far more, but ahe waa In love and did not mind doing without thlnara at flrat. But gradually, aa ha had made more money, ahe had Increaaed their ex penditures 'way ahead of what they ahould have spent They not only had never saved anything, but aha had run up Mile that he did not aea how he was aver to pay. He was so worn out trying to gat more and mora money that he waa almoat ready to lie down and die. When h aald that he Juat whlapered It with hla head In his hands I thought my heart would break. " 'But why do you not talk It over with Maryr X asked. 'She loves you, and of course ahe would cut down eipensee and live more simply.' "Ha Juat a hook, hla head. 'Not now. Once, yeare ago, perhape ahe could and would have done It, but that time has frvn by. I have told her that 1 can not afford thla scale of living, but I can not make any tmpreeelon upon her. Or. If I do, and ahe promlaee to do better, presently everything Is Just as It was be fore. No, I can't change anything myaelf. But I've been wondering, mother. If perhape you oould do ft Do you think If you had a talk with Mary H would help mattersT "Well, you can Imagine how 1 felt Mary haa no mother, and I believe ahe lovea me. She has always been affectionate, and while I was with them she did everything ahe could to give me a lovely tlgie. But ought I to Interfere In what, after all, waa not my own affair? Would I not do more harm than good? M 1 mnat not meddle,' I said. "Mary would resent It and you would unconsciously feet that I had mad matters worse Instead of better.' "So I Juat came hack home auratn and never said a word. Do you think I did right? What would you have done? "Juat what you did. I think," I said. T don't believe a daughter-in-law ever takes suggestions very readily from her mother-in-law, even If they love each other: the Implied riitldam la pretty aura o be reaented. But oould yor. not have advtaed your eon to take some step which would have helped mattersT" "I did do that 'John,' I said, 'put your foot downt Tell Mary that your household expenses must be limited to exactly ao much a year and no more. Oat her to aet down In black and white what you pay for servants and food and clothing and entertaining, and add It up; ahe will probably be appalled at the total. Then Insist that some of tha servants must go; and give her a dreaa allowance and make her agree to live within It. If worst oomes to worst, move Into a smaller house, or take an apartment or even board at a hotel. Take thlnga In your own handa. Don't let hep run away with everything! Can't you stop this expenditure tt you are really determined about It?" "What did he say?" "He shook hla head. 'Mother.' he aald In that de spairing way that almoat makes me cry to think about It 'I've done all thoae things except move. Mary won't move, and I doubt tf It would help thlnga If aha would, for apartmenta and hotels, such as ah would Inatat on. are frightfully eoatly. She haa prem ised to do better time after time, but nothing lasts. Fh la all that la aweet and attractive, and I'm in love with her Juat aa I waa when we were married. But aha la a apolled child, I'm afraid, and nothing will ever make her over Into a wtaa, economical housewife. It simply lan't tn her.' " "Then, you tee," I aald, "your talking to her would have done no good. I'm rather glad yoa did not try It" "I've been wondering whether 1 might write It all to her, and beg her to forgive ma If I told her that I had found John looking ao old and careworn that I feared he waa worrying over hla buslneae, end I thought If ahe realised that he waa, aha might help him to make things eaaler. Do you think that would do any good?" "No. I'm afraid gentle measures will not help thlnga The cause lies too deep. You will have to wait Nothing In this world will help a situation tike that but trouble, and I'm afraid It's bound to eotn. If Vary has at heart a kernel of real, sound woman, hood, adverelty may develop It, and they map start life over again on a better basis." "And poor John must lose all hla money and go through bankruptcy and all that?" "I hop It won't be aa feed aa all that But anrwar. loaa of money lan't tha worst thing In tha world. And other things may step tn to help, too. They have no children T" "No, and It's a pity." "Well, children may com to train Mary, or. tf not, then aoma other experience will atep tn and do It Trust Providence for finding ways to train ua If only we are worth the trouble. And John and Mary are worth It I am sure. Bo don't be too down hearted. I Ife lan't over for them yet, and wont be for many year.

July 1S.-T0 tha Editor of Th Bee: As a rule It doee not pay to object to errors In papers. But when through a slip an error la made that may Injur other, and I am the Inno oent cause thereof, I bellev I ought to correct It. Tour Lincoln correspondent through a mere allp, I believe, represents me eta having severely crltlctaed the work of tho tax commission. He la entirely at fault What erltlclam I ever made of their report was but minor and made In personal conversation never publicly I did not criticise It publicly, because I believed, and still believe, thai It was a progressive report It aimed In the right direction. One of th beat proofe of thla fact lies In the record of the recent aeaelon of the senate. That body, controlled by a majority pledged before hand to prevent anything that had the emack of progresa In It refused re peatedly to notice tha reoomme.ndatlons of tho tax commission. It utterly ig nored the commission, where It did not fly dlrrectly In the face ot It Aa a matter of fact I was the only member who defended on the floor of the senate th work of that commission. I waa the only member, that I now re call, who Introduced any bill to carry out rexrrnimeridatJons of that commission. This, too, while the majority over whelmingly defeated every one of them. (Ajtd the leader of that majority now aaks th progressiva democrats of this state for their suffrages to make him governor.) These facts hardly Juatify th state ment that I ridiculed the report of that commission. I believe this la due th members of that commission. U J. QUINBY. Save th Dove. SOUTH BIDli. "July 17. To th Editor of Th Bee: I saw by the papers of yesterday that now la the time to kill dovea If there la one bird that ought to be saved above all others from th gun of th fallows who think they are sportsmen It Is the gentle and Innocent dove. It ha been a wonder to me that the legislature has not passed an act to protect the dove and to aave It from further destruction. At the rate they have been killed In the last few years thay will oon go the way of the wild Pigeon and th buffalo. The American arptrlt aa furthered by Roosevelt and othera that think they are sportsmen Is to kill all wild animals and birds. That is one reason for my dislike of Boose velt A few years ago when we would drive out In the country we could sea doves In large numbers along the fences and hedges. Now It Is a rare thing to see one In going along the roads for many miles. Instead of protecting the squirrels that destroy birds and their neat and are a general nuisance be sides, the legislature ahould Pass an act to protect doves for a number of years at least, for they are of no me use while erulrrels do more damage by far than they are worth. I bellev that a movement to protect doevs ahould be atarted with the pur pose of getting th next legislature to paaa an act to forbid tholr further de struction, for the man with the aportlng gun will soon have them totally exter minated. Let us try to discourage the destruc tion of the fine old turtle dove, for it ought to be regarded as a shame that uoh fine birde should be destroyed for th little mouthful of meat that may be on them. p.

To the Editor of The Bee: In a recent Issue of The Bee Cart llening quota a paragraph from Mra Eddy's writings In whioh she claims divine origin for Christian Bclence. In view of this and the fact that aha called her book "Bclence and Health," a key te the ecripturea and quotes freely from the Bible In an effort to prove her contentions. It would snam to be perfectly proper for us to apply a Biblical test In order to ascertain the truth. As In this day, ao In the early days of th church there seems to have been many who aspired to be leaders off thought, and with a modicum of truth sought followers In order to build up a sect The early Christians wishing to help along every good work, seem to have been In some bewilderment so the Apostle John In 1 John 4:1-3, gives them a test. Here is the teat "Try the spirits whether they are of Ood." "Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ la come In the flesh la of Ood." Bvery spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ Is com In th flesh Is not or Ood. Does Christian Science confess that Jeeus Christ Is com In th flesh? Mrs. Eddy's book has much to say about Jesus Christ but is he the same Jesus Christ the apostles tell us shout? The only Jesus Christ ths apostles knew anything about was the one who on account of Adam's transgression, which brought Bin and death Into the world, suffered death and paid the ran som price, and so became man's re deemer. Mrs. Eddy used quite a number of pages tn her book in an effort to ahow that the Bible story of ths fall of Adam was a Ua There la the test, and It la sppllcabte to any rallgio-aclentiflc. or rellglo-phlloso-phlcal propaganda.

If men may weep for wool and stone, Old friend, I weep tMs day for you. The time-worn atep, the twisted Malr, ' What dreama have gone a-cllmblng there! The cluttered desk, tho husv room. The story apinnln on Us loo'm. The voices and the clacking keys. The toll, the strife, the memories. But now thy measured sandit are spent,' Fate's flm:r troves agilnst thy wall. Thlno honored history Is done. And Time writes finis to it all. The honest brick, the naked beams, The settled dust of ancltmt dreams! The bitter and the midden sweet. The handa that served, the hearts that bent, The old head bow?d beneath fts star How dear a workman's memories are Beneath those dim and ag1 eaves Was traced with many a .Irlven, pen The heart beets of a hundrei year. The moving pageantry of men! But now no more of triumphs won. Good friend, thy usefulness Is dime. Young heart that strode the stair to fame, Old heart that rould not quit the same, The book la closed wherein ye write. The hour has etn-ck. Give ye goodnight.
