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

What of Those New School Buildings!
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-

WHEN Mra Oraon cam bee from viiatlna her

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.

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

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

tmpreeelon upon her. Or. If I do, and ahe promlaee to

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

But aha la a apolled child, I'm afraid, and nothing

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

"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

"No. I'm afraid gentle measures will not help

OMAHA. 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.

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. A. AO NEW.

OMAHA, July 17. 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

rion of the following poem from the pen1
of Dana Buraot, member of the Suti
Staff):
If men may mourn for broken w11m
As god and little children Co!
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.
