Preference for Omaha Teachers.
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

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

a reason and know what the reason Is, otherwise yo.i

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

OMAHA. Aug. 2. To the Editor of
The Bee: After reading the statement
of the secretary of the Street Railway
company regarding the near-eld stop for

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

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.

I suggest that It is right and proper
that In selecting names for said streets
that the patriots who fought and bled

In selecting a name for A street, we
can still hold It In memory and at the

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.

K to Ensot, V to Fleharty, O to Olllen,

came out and did an oriental dance, and
i young lady said:
"That dancer has her name on all her
drrsses, I understand."
(by Deslys laughed gayly.
"It must be a very short name," She
said. New York Mail.
"So Clementina haa dismissed her ad
mirer merely because he waxed hla mus
che. That certainly was trifling mat
ter." You're mistaken. For a man to wax
hie mustache Is o"1te serious affair."
