The pre-eminence of King AW-Sar-Ben's pep Ilea In maintaining equable temperature regard less of weather vagarlei. Give Omaha made good the preference othera things being equal and this Includea Omaba-ralied school teacher. The worst part of It la that by hla tool opin ions rendered for political purposes, Attorney General Reed discredits the soundness of his legal advice on other matters. Food purveyors In Galveston are accused of raising prices to flood sufferers. We know what would have happened to any one trying that game on Omaha'a tornado victims. . If they know their business, and they usually do, the official bond venders will all support the contention of the attorney general calling for the writing of another bunch of $50,000 surety . bonds at State expense. The news of Japan going to the assistance of Russia with the full strength of its munition plants U nothing more than an official admls . alon that Russia has furnished satisfactory se curity for the goods. Japan needs the kopecs. Colonel Roosevelt's statement as to the course the country should pursue In the present emergency brought an opposing statement from Colonel Bryan. With these, eminent political doctors disagreeing on routes, it behooves the thinking multitude to stick to the middle of the road. The Bee seconds the motion that Omaha la 'an Ideal location for a citizens' military training camp along the lines of that at Plattsburg, N. T., which Is attractlnc so much attention throughout the country. If these camps are to be multiplied, one at this point would pre-eminently fill the bill tor the middle west. Ideas and energy reach their best develop ment la the west. Acknowledgment of the fact Is made by New York In putting on the wire the statement of President Combs that Jewelry buying is an accurate barometer of prosperity. The Idea would have passed unnoticed had not the energy of an Omaha optimist driven It home. The steel town of Gary, Ind., harbors an or ganlzatlon strictly neutral In foreign affairs, but warmly militaristic in national matters. In a complimentary letter to President Wilson the militant Garyltes announce that their main ob ject In life la to "evaporate any and all bolster ous politicians." The nature of the gas Is a secret, but Is w arranted to do the business. Tha city council lecelved a proteat against closing1 any portion of Fourteenth atraet. alaned by 8.

Rersrdlesn of the fate of the so-called teach ers' training school, whose continuance Is hanging In the balance with the School board, The Bee wants to enter vigorous dissent to the proposition that the only way to maintain tiie efficiency of our public schools Is to import teachers from other cities. We are for giving preference, wherever preference Is to be given, to graduates of our own high school willing to fit themselves for the work of teachers, and wbope parents live here and pay taxes to help foot the bills for our schools, and, more than that, who are counted among the local consum ers who buy goods of Omaha roerthanta and keep their money In circulation here. We agree that the public srfaools are not a charity Institution to support needy depend ents, but If they cannot turn out from year to year a fair supply of graduates who can com pete on equal terms with the products of the public schools of other cities and towns, then there Is something wrong with our public schools. This does not mean that we should never employ teachers with outside experience, nor that deteriorating In-breedlng of the teach ing corps la not to be avoided, but that It does mean that Omaha young women should have the first chance to prove their worth as public school teachers. Whether Omaha should furnish the training for the vocation of the teacher, or compel its young folks to seek that training elsewhere, Is another question. If, however, we are going Into the business of vocational education, it would seem to us that the training of teachers la as Important as the training of telegraph operators, bookkeeperg or stenographers, and that at least an attempt to remedy deficiencies In the training pchool might well precede vot ing It a failure and decreeing Its abolition. What the people object to most, and right fully, is to have this question decided in star- chamber session by three members of a board of twelve In an apparent attempt to forestall pub llo discussion of it. In the Matter of Cotton. For the second time cotton has been declared absolute contraband of war, and bids fair to be come quite as Important a topic for discussion now as It was during the civil war over fifty years ago. Great nrltaln's action, which Is really the action of the Triple Kntente allies, In plac ing cotton on the proscribed list, has necessitated the rewriting of the note of protest from the United States, dealing with the shipping situa tion as developed under the order In council. In terference with ocean traffic under that order has been directed quite aa much against cotton as any other commodity, but the note will now have to deal with the legality of the newest or der, and Its possible effects on neutral com merce. The situation now becomes delicate as well as difficult, for cotton very easily falls within the primary definition of contraband, It being per se an article of use in war. In fact. It Is one of the chief articles of use In war, entering more extensively than any other Into the making of explosives. This quite definitely fixes the re lation of cotton to war. Great Britain haa hith erto pointed out that large shipments of cot ton have been made to the neutral ports on the North Sea and the Baltic, far in excess of the requirements of the countries to which the car goes were consigned, and the very natural infer ence is that the ultimate destination waa farther along the line, and perhaps to an enemy. In this position the British have sought to justify them selves, but the fsct that they have not under taken to blockade a neutral port, and that traffic In contraband between neutrals is still permis sible, will not support their contention that they have a right to blockade the open seas, as they have undertaken to do. For the prevention of any unusual depres sion due to the British action, Secretary McAdoo has announced he will deposit thirty millions in gold In three southern federal reserve banks, without interest,' to be used In upholding credit based on cotton. The southern planters will be tenderly cared for, as they have been from the first, by the present administration, the strength of which comes from the cotton growing states. Postal SaYings Banks. Omaha's standing In the list of postal sav ings banks, rated on the totals, is twenty-seventh, a very satisfactory position. This bank is chiefly patronised by the foreign-born cltlsens, who ex emplify their faith In the general government by entrusting it with the care of their savings. The habits of thrift acquired abroad are still practiced in their new home, and through the postal bank they are making their way to Inde pendence. But the postal bank Is only one of the roads to that destination, and its establish ment has not in any way interfered with the others, nor has the money there deposited been withdraw from useful service. Building and loan associations, state savings banks, and other agencies for assistance in thrift and accumula tion have found their activities extended. The prosperity of ail these must be considered in connection with the postal savings bank when reckoning the extent of the saving habit In Omaha and the energy of Us people In ways that lead to the accumulation of wealth. The Army and the People. While all details of the storm experiences of Texas people have not as yet been given out, such Information as has come from the region (.we pt by the terrible hurricane showa the United States army was again an agency of mercy and relief. Nowhere did the storm hit harder, and In no place was the loss more complete than in and around the camp of the Fourth Infantry at Texas City, across the bay from Galveston, but right here the orderly procedure, born of mili tary discipline and training, proved of the ut most service. Before communication was fully established with headquarters, the soldiere of the regiment were engaged In the work of assist ing the cltizeua of the devastated district. From military stores blankets and rations were pro vided, aud in many ways the army contributed to the relief of suffering that might have been much more severe, had it not been for the pres ence of tha "regulars." This Is only one of many records of similar service that mark the LUtory of the United titatea army, and add to the luster of its name. The "regular"', Is a mighty helpful chap and good to have at hand in time of trouble. The Law's Delays Debate la W. T. 0aat. OoaTeaUoa, UNDER tha old common law system." said Ell'iu Hoot, "practice had become so rompM' alM and difficult that It was difficult for an honest man to get his rlKhtn. There Is a good deal of human na ture In It. It has been so since the laws of the Medea and Persians w-re formulated; It has been so since the days of Egypt s power. Wherever a special clase ft men hsve hid entrusted to them the fo'rmulatlon and administration of laws, they tend to make It a mystery. They tend to becntna more and more suhtlo and refined in their discriminations, until ultimately they have got out of the field where tney can be fol lowed by flu In honeet people's minds, and Some powe must te eterted to bring them back. I believe there la no duty which la demanded from thla convention more generally than the duty to do nomelhlnc to make our p.actlce mora simple, speedy. Inexpensive and effective." Mr. Root traced the Mstory of the civil code and referred to the constant changes mado by the legisla ture. Continuing, he sM: "I heard tha other day a lawyer In New Torlt boast that he could postpone any litigation Tor seven years, and I asked a lot of friends as I came along whether that waa true, and they all said .they Old not doubt It How? Why, by compelling the honest fellow that comes ir.to court to redre-a a wrong or to secure a right, to tltlaate one after the other, statutory rights thst have been created by the leg s lature. Courts cannot l-nore them because they srn rtahts given by lw. The courts must observe th law, and so tha plain man who wants to set a wronir redressed hss, brl'tllnjf between his demand for redress and his Judgment a drsen Mirations that he has to fight out beftre ha ran get to the end of his Judgment. "We have been making our system of procedure here conform to tha subtle, acute, hlithly trained Ideas of lawyers. That la not tha true basis. "The system of procedure, of course, rnnnot be alniple, but as far as poartb'e It ought to be made to conform to the plain man's Intelligence and experi ence. It ought to ba so that the farmer and tha mer chant and the laborer can understand It. and know why he Is delayed In getting his rights; can under stand thst the processes to which he Is subject have a reason and know what the reason Is, otherwise yo.i cannot have that respect for the law. that confident-1 In Its Justice, necessary for the maintenance of n system of Just administration. "Now, we ouaht to get back to the fundaments! Idea of our profession which Is to be priests In tha ad ministration of Justice. I am old enough at the ha.1 to have the men who were my partners, my Juniors, my clerks, sitting on the bench, and I look at them from a different anglo from that that 1 can recall forty or fifty years ngo when I looked up to those men they are men like the rest of us. But. m:' friends, they are honest and Just. They want to do Justice If they oen be permitted to. They will do Jus tice If they are permitted to. "This network of metlculoue rnles that are made by our legislature with honest purpose prevents them from dolmr Justice In that particular rase: and the people of our state and of our country understand thla. They may not know why, but they feel that tha pathway of Justice la obstructed. They feel that tha honest man would better lose bis claim than ko Into court and spend hla time and money In the law'it pursuit, which seems to have no end. And they are Indignant over It and restless and dissatisfied over it, and they look to us to do something." There was a warm debate when the convention took up tha section which limits appeals. Borne of the lawyer delegates opTraed this Section. Thts aroused I.ouia Marshall, who en Id: "If In any case arising In an Inferior court," he said.. "there shall be a right of appeal, not only to any Intermediate appellate tribunal, like the appellato term, but also to the appellate division, what answer can we make to the claim that we are not trying to prevent tba law'e delays, but that we are encouratrtnn the law's delays? "Are wa to submit to ths criticism which would be a very natural one. that a convention conalstlng of a preponderance of lawyers, la framing a constitution for the purpose of creating business for lawyers?" Twioe Told Tales Dloarenea Trimmed. Diogenes was sitting on a fire hydrant when a kindly-faced man stopped and addressed him. "What's wrong with you, old friend?" he asked. "I've been sorely misused," replied the cynic. "In what way?" "As I turned yonder comer, carrying- my lantern, a youth approached me. 'Wherefore the glim?1 he asked. I replied that I waa Diogenes, looking for an honest man. 1 he youth laughed. 'You're wasting tlma In this town, uncle,' he aald. 'Tour gim la no use here.' And what do you think? Ha took my lantern away from me, and my hat and my street car pennies, and ran around the corner. The only thing he left oi any value waa my collar button. Io you wonder that I appear morose?"

To the Editor of The Bee: After reading the statement of the secretary of the Street Railway company regarding the near-eld stop for th trolley cars, I am convinced the Street Railway company Intends to make this "safe and sane" regulation as odious and Inconvenient for the people as It can. This near-Bldo stopping has been In vogue In practically alt the larger cities of the country for several years, and has proved a complete success. In opposing this necessary regulation In Omaha, th company evidently realises that to make It a success It will have to rebuild its cars so as to conform with th convenience of the passengers for the near-side atop, and to my mind this la the secret of th com- pany'a opposition to this plan, that has proven such a great aid to th "safety first" movement elsewhere. STRAPHANGER. Cathollo Lole. OMAHA, Aug. 24.-To the Editor of The Bee: In regard to the ed.torlal In tho "Truo Voice" which you so vigorously condemn: The article In question does not "sympathlio with or condone" the lynching of Leo Frank. You quote: "It (the lynching) was a crime; but Is was no worse than hundreds of other. uch crimes that have ben committed even In northern atatea." Certainly this Is a moderate statement of a known truth. Men have been lynched In Nebraska without bavins a trial of any kind; whereas, Frank not only had his trial, but the higher courts were exhauated In a vain effort to procure a second trial. But you-aay that "to suggest that Frank had not a fair trial is sn 'unproved as sumption;' Is an ln.ilt to popular in telligence." Herein you appeal from the decision of the Ceorgla Jury, from the trial Judge and from the United States supreme court (only two of th Judges dissented) to that nebulous something "popular Intelligence.' Why, it waa "popular Intelligence" that lynched Leo Frank alter the governor, who studied the rase thorouthly, had commuted hla aen tenc. Again, you fall of logle when you po;.nt to th fact that a fellow convict stabbed Frank as being a proof of the letter's Innocence. It proves nothing. Your editorial concludes with a subtle insinuation that all poile In fear of persecution (Jews, Cathollo and negroes) should unit against th courts whenever a person accused of crime raises the cry of prejudlc. To aaaum Frank's Inno cenc after conviction and to foatar an organised, nation-wide criticism of the Georgia courta was improper. A able a lawyer as E. O. McOllton recently pointed out that IndlscrUnlnate petitioning after the courts have a-ted Is destructive to th respect which court must retain. In the Instant case, as Father Qanuon suggests. It probably helped to Inflame thu Georgians and thus frustrated Its owa purpose. THOMAS LYNCH. BOI'TH .SIDE. Aug. 34. -To the Editor of Th Bm. Hlie some people who have nothing els to do are busy advocating the renaming of South Side atresia and there seems a possibility of th city com missioners being stampeded In the matter. I suggest that It is right and proper that In selecting names for said streets that the patriots who fought and bled for the late city of South Omaha b given consideration. In selecting a name for A street, we can still hold It In memory and at the same time reward that fearless writer and lawyer F. A. Agnew. Let us Chang A streot to Agnew street and forever (or until the name are aigain changed) memorllaise one of our cltUen who haa done much ti keep South Omaha on tha map. and In spit of the fact that he never (I am sure) permitted himself to be attached to the city pay roll. Then cornea B street. What would be more ftttuig than that U street should be changed to Bl-aslng an Iron cross, so to speak, as a reward for the ln-and-uut-of-seasoa patriotism of our old friend J.
