Respect for the law and maintenance of order. Z Speedy and certain punishment of crime . through the regular operation of the . courts. J, Pitiless' publicity and condemnation of . inefficiency lawlessness and corrup tion in office. 4. Frank recognition, and commendation of honest and efficient public service. 5. Inculcation of Americanism as the true basis of good citizenship. La Belle France can also be a bit fickle. "Hon. Hi Johnson hps been named. Are there any further nominations?" Indiana is No. . 26 on the suffrage record. The laggards will soon line up. Even Mr. Bryan seems to have gone down again, but he will be up for air shortly. The passage of time is denoted by announce ' ments of where base ball teams are to train. Two alleged "loiterers" have been given a"j week to find work. It ought to be easy in Omaha. . , Aleck Berkman and Emma Goldman say they are coming back to America to "save it." Hooray I Among other things, Omaha is now ship ping silver by the carload to China. "Watch us' grow." Senator Sorenson suggests that Omaha's name may be presently changed to that of "Wolfville." Fifteen hundred "camel drivers" are on duty in fhe United States, so the procession will be kept moving. x Now that the "funeral" is over, will ."Billy" Sunday retain "The Brewer's Big Horses" in his song-book?j , Jails in Massachusetts are also going out of business, but high wages are said to have something to do with W The air mail, gets its first sensation in a" race against death from Chicago to New York, And the stunt is utilitarian, too. Hango, where the. "soviet ark" landed, is the first port of Finland as you go in. In other words, the cargo was discharged as soon as possible. The German actor who wants to make up and pose for the kaiser at the proposed trial may be loyal and loving, but he has a poor no tion of the world'sisense of humor. - The Pan-American Congress is meeting in Washington, which is a matter of more im mediate moment to Americans than the session of the League of Nations in Europe. Senator Kenyon is not the first and may not be the last victim ,of senatorial, discourtesy, but his point is a sourid one. Congress will do well to show a greater concern in the matter of education for the people. ' Omaha banks are going to welcome visitors this week, whether customers or not, that the public may get acquainted at least with the out i ward and visible signs of the results of thrift. It is a good idea. i THRIFT AND ITS USES. "A pin t day is a groat a year, and a six pence saved is a shilling clear," sang Poor Richard in his Almanack. Today is the anni versary of the author of Poor Richard and his homely maxims, and as such ushers in a week to be devoted to the inculcation of habits of thrift among Americans. It is not strange that such a divergence should exist between the times of old Ben Franklin and today. Then the scanty luxuries of life were for the-few, and the frugal ex istence' of the many gave easy emphasis to the exhortation from the prudent. Franklin him self affords the standard illustration of the bene fit of applying his advice. It was by thrift that he attained to the competency which sustained his eminence as a philosopher and his usefulness as a statesman. Life is easier now than then. It moves more swiftly, perhaps, but only because its wheels are better greased. But the necessity of saving has never been outgrown, no matter if the habit seems to have fallen into disuse. Thrift does no't mean parsimony, nor is the economical man or woman necessarily a miser. Careful management of the family income, to the end that each week finds something of a surplus over ordinary expenditures laid aside L against any emergency, is only the wise eourse pursued by the experienced business man, and is the only'way open to success. A savings ac count is an insurance against want, and what may not be postponed until old age. Accident or disease may thrust in at any time to inter rupt or terminate the productive activity of any individual. Recognition of this fact aids many to the goal of safety So many avenues for savings are open, along which the careful may move to comfort, that choice may bewilder at first. Choose one arid follow it. . You may have to deny yourself something you want, but nothing you need. In the end you will be better off, for your accumu lations, no matter how small, when combined with others will provide a tremendous aggregate to be used in carrying on the wonderful enter prises in which the nation is engaged. The uses of thrift are unlimited,, while its practice is not difficult when once adopted. Nor will legitimate business .suffer because the peo ple have commenced to save. More important than all other considerations, the future safety of the nation and the world depends on the thrift of each individual citizen. Just as waste and extravagance is checked and production in creased so will the devastation of the war be repaired and civilization restored. Work and save is the only remedy, and should be the only gospel. Nebraska's Educational Institutions. The constitutional convention is now deal ing with one of the really vital points that may come before it, that of public education. Noth ing has played a greater part in the develop ment of the "commonwealth than its public schools. No state more munificently endowed its common schools, and none has contributed more liberally to their support. Nebraska has been a leader in many of the enlightened ways of providing for the instruction of the young. This record is not only occasion for pride, but is the best possible argument Tor the perpetua tion of the system. . Our schools should not be put into a strait jacket. The simplest possible provision to es tablish the free and unrestricted training of the children of the state at the public cost, as it now exists, -with no possibility of outside in terference or control from any source whatso ever is all that should be put into the constitu tion. As the future indicates fhe need, laws may be enacted for carrying out this obligation. Uniformity in school practice is desirable, in some regards advantageous, but something of danger may be discovered in any plan that seeks to lay down a permanent pattern and re quire all to Conform to it. Such means of re striction will surely react against the schools. Development is possible only where freedom for the working out of individual ideas is present Safeguard the fundamental requirements of the. splendid system that permits the child born in Nebraska to travel the- way of learning from the kindergarten to the degree of doctor with out cost or tuition. Make very sure that, this can not be disturbed, and let the methods re main subject to statutory regulation. ' Then the schools will always be in the hands of the peo ple, their greatest and most'sacred care after the -preservation of the government itself. Views and Reviews Just a Word Personal to Nail A Couple of Lies. The recent announcement that I had ac cepted an offer to take over my interest in The Bee has naturally caused a flutter of comment. As I said in that announcement, the prospect of relinquishing the direction of the paper carries a deep regret in the thought of severing the con stant communication with my readers, and a more keen regret over the eventual dissociation from the loyal and faithful workers who have helped get out the paper from day to day, who would go any lengths for me and for whom I have a lasting affection, far beyond the business relationship. Our amiable contemporaries have so often kindly sold The Bee for me that they seem to have been themselves shockingly surprised at the actual sale. It was to be expected that they would indulge in all sorts of fantastic specula tion. Professional courtesy, unfortunately, has been sadly lacking in the attitude of these papers toward me, but I am happy to note that only one of them indulged in the extreme of lying on this occasion. My personal affairs are nobody's business but my own, and I doubt whether other people care anything about them, but, inasmuch as the matters are of public record, and the misrepresentations are so flagrant, I think it better to correct them right here, so my friends may have the truth. The Will to Give ' Roughly, it cost the United States govern ment $325,000,000 to build the Panama canal. This sum included $20,000,000 for sanitation and $7,500,000 for administration. When this ' great enterprise was undertaken 15 years ago other peoples of the world marveled at it as something that seemed too big even for this rich country to take up itself financially. Mil- Kns of our own citizens wrinkled their brows tC wondered if we were not "biting off" more ' than we could chew." In the light of events of the last three years flow very much . less impressive, financially '..peaking, has the building of the canal become. This brings us to an interesting comparison. In .ess than three, years the American people nave contributed outright to the Red Cross in cash and raw or manufactured supplies as much ' is the Panama Canal cost to. build. There was no dependence on bonds, no deferred payments ' as we understand such payments in term of bonds. - It goes to show what a well-to-do people can do with a very small measure of sacrifice when they set their minds and hearts to it . The Red Cross symbolized, of course, a . common cause sround which a unified purpose could rally. It required that kind of cause and pur pose o achieve the end sought. The American spirit never so well expressed itself as during its war stress period. It would be a great thingjf some peace-time equivalent could te found and equivalent that would keep the soul of the country registering at its best Something of the sort is desirable for its character-building and ethics-tempering virtues. Minneapolis Tribune, A Terrible Charge.' Nothing more shocking has come out in con nection with the war than is contained in the startling statement made by Admiral Sims to the senate's subcommittee. If it be true that he was told we "would as soon fight the, British as the Central Powers," after our country had solemnly declared war on Germany and sum moned every man and pledged every dollar of our wealth to our associates in that war, it is such an act of premeditated treachery as is not charged even against Germany. Americans will be slow to believe that even so partisan an ad ministration as that of Mr. Daniels could be guilty of such double-dealing, but they will also fail to comprehend how a gallant naval officer, as Admiral Sims has proved himself to be, could make such an assertion unless it has foun dation. Mr. Baker's nonchalant explanation, when chided for apparent dilatoriness that "the war is 3,000 miles away," is pale Ind harmless compared to this terrible charge. Bring out the truth 1 The assertion that my father "left his sons several hundred thousand dollars of life insur ance" is a deliberately-concocted fiction. When my father died he carried life insurance policies totaling $291,500, face, some of which went to designated beneficiaries (none to me). Deduct ing these and the policy loans left $158,609, which was paid to his estate. His will provided that this money should be applied against the debts he ,had contracted, -chiefly borrowing for the erection of the Bee building, and that any excess of debts should be assumed equally by his two sons, leaving the other heirs free of them. Carrying out his intention fully, as ex ecutor, I took my inheritance subject to an in- Ldebtedness of $30,000 as my half, which, I am happy to say, has been long since paid off, prin cipal and interest, dollar for dollar. So much for the insurance money myth. The suggestion of the same liar that our agricpltural paper was sacrificed by me likewise calls for contradiction. The old Weekly Bee was converted into the Twentieth Century Farmer in the year 1900, and for 15 years, with the possible exception of one or two years, was not a paying proposition. In addition to the carrying charge, we invested a lot of money in machinery for its "production and held the ma gazine property on our books for $55,000, at which figure my brother tried to dispose of it. I finally brought it up on a profit basis for two consecutive years and, having come to the conclusion that the field would be excellent for one agricultural weekly, but precarious for two, sold it on time for $92,500, or nearly $40,000 more than we would gladly have taken two years before, to be merged with the Nebraska Farmer, for which I had made a counter offer of $100,000. The terms of the sale are recorded in the court house. Ordinarily I would not devote space to this subject, but I do not want my friends to be laboring under delusions from my neglect to en lighten them. Another Nebraskan whose name is written in the histories has passed on with the death of Charles E. Magoon, who was the first to pre side over the bureau of insular affairs after the United States acquired colonial possessions, and who later becajne successively civil governor of the Canal Zone, minister to Panama, and provisional governor of Cuba. Physically Mr. Magooa was a magnificent specimen of man hood, a big man in every way, dignified, impos ing, just the kind of a man to make the right impression of authority upon the inhabitants of a southern republic like Panama or Cuba ac customed to look up to an over-lord and to measure him by his superiority to themselves. Magoon, though born in Minnesota, came to Nebraska as a boy, studied at the University of Nebraska and in the law office at Lincoln of the late Charles O. Whedon. He had to make his own way. He dabbled in politics a little bit, took a. few handouts around the legislature and essayed newspaper work. I have a letter of his of these way-back days offering to serve as an undisclosed correspondent of The Bee, with inside state house news and information, for the lucrative sum of $10 a month. It was through the personal favor of Senator Thurs ton and Lieutenant Governor Meiklejohn, who had been made assistant secretary of war, and perhaps also of Charles G. Dawes, who stood high in the McKinley administration, that Ma goon was called to Washington at the con clusion of our war with Spain, and installed as law officer of the bureau of insular affairs, created then and still a part of the War depart ment He filled this place most acceptably, al though the target for quite a few snafts evoked by one of his reports. Responding to a sum mons to investigate and explain the authority of the department in our newly-acquired ter ritory in the Philippines, and to what extent the. limitations of the federal constitution applied, he presented a document indicating that the islands had come under the constitution sub stantially as was the area in our western ter ritories. This report was later withdrawn by Magoon and another substituted and accepted by the government for its action, holding that the constitution did not follow the flag and that, in the absence of congressional action, the ex ecutive had full and unrestricted sovereign powers over treaty-acquired provinces. What the opposition papers did to Magoon for prepar ing two opposite reports may very well be imagined. My best and reliable information" is that Magoon wrote the first report to sustain a ruling of a superior officer, protesting his per sonal dissent and that the second report was his real conclusion from the start Be that as it may, it was a tempest in a teapot for the time and gave him the full glare of the spot light. The supreme court later sustained the position taken in this last report I talked with Mr. Magoon about eight months ago in the Metropolitan club in Wash ington, where he made his home since his re tirement from public life, although he con stantly declared that he still maintained Lincoln as his residence. He spoke about coming Out for a visit at the first opportunity that his busi ness interests Would permit. He had. become associated with a number of wealthy men in some mining properties and other enterprises, and, I take it, leaves quite a comfortable estate. Passing of the "Tiger." The French senators and deputies have re fused to accord Georges Clemenceau the retir ing honor of a term as president of the repub lic. In this may be descried the effects of do mestic politics, adjourned to almost an ex clusive degree while the war was on, but now coming forward with a re"turn of peace. Clem enceau's personal . energy, zeal and capacity, his wonderful fighting qualities and his fanatic devotion to France, saved the nation. It was to him the people turned in the darkest day of the war; that he is now set aside should not be taken as a proof that his service is already for gotten. If anything, the action signifies that a coalition of elements not natural affinities is too much for him. Radical socialists, ultra-liberals and ultramontaines are united, as might have been expected. France may be called upon to repeat something of the experience that followed 1871, but as Gambetta and Thiers out lived the turmblt of those times, so will Georges Clemenceau survive the political shock of today. His place in the life of France is' secure, and the future Guizot will.find rich material for his work in the record of the "Tiger," Home Health Hints Reliable advice given In this column on prevention and cure of disease.

It may interest my readers to know that the restoration to the faculty of the Peabody Con servatory of Music of Max Landow, who went from Omaha to Baltimore, was announced in one of the papers I picked up-while in the Monu mental city a couple of weeks ago. Prof. Lan dow has been in a most uncomfortable position during the war because of his German ante cedents and connections and had dropped out of the Conservatory, so it was in the nature of special recognition of his musical talent and vindication of his loyalty -to be restored though not without protest. An English Experiment In Social MeiiiciiH'. "In England," says the Journal of the American Medical Association, "the medical profession and the nub ile are apparently in a state of read justment Social insurance in the four years preceding the war, the needs and emergencies of war times, and the discussion of the last year culminating in the creation of a na tional health ministry, all have com bined to arouse and concentrate in terest and discussion on the improve ment of medloal service. An experi ment now being carried on in Glas gow is, therefore, of special interest Dr. David McKail, lecturer on public health at St. Mungo'a .college, and Mr. William Jones, clerk and treas urer of the Glasgow insurance com mittee, have worked out a plan for a public medical service as a substi tute for the social insurance scheme now in operation. Beginning with a criticism of social insurance, which they condemn for failure to provide any form of institutional treatment and for furnishing medical services to only about one-third of the total population, they propose to build up a complete medical service, furnish ing unrestricted treatment to every citizen needing it, and involving the enrollment of the medical profession and the public control of all general hospitals and infirmaries. "The proposed plan is founded on the experience gained In efforts , to meet war conditions, when for a time dispensaries were established in Glasgow for centralizing the pa tients of absent physicians. The city was divided into districts, and a con sultation center established in each. The Bridgetown district, with ap proximately 100,000 Inhabitants, is taken as a convenient unit for study. The volume of sickness as shown by the number of dispensary visits is found to be 3.11 per person per year, varying from , a maximum of 7.5 visits for the first year of life to a minimum of 1.32 for ages from 15 to 25. House visits are found to amount to one-fourth of .dispensary visits. This amount of professional work would require 27 physicians, working 33 hours a week. A 25 per cent addition for seasonal increases would necessitate a staff of 33 phy sicians, each of whom would have an annual vacation in the summer or fall. Births would average nine or 10 a day, requiring four obstetri cians. Minor surgery and various specialties would require six, making a total staff of 43 medical men, ex clusive of institutional and consult ant service. These men are to be graded in three classes, according to age, experience, etc. Each junior would be allowed time and be re quired to do graduate medical fwork and special study with a view ip his advancement in the service. Sala ries would range from $1,590 to 52,500 for juniors, $2,500 to $3,50Q for middle grades, and $4,000 to $4,500 for seniors. Provision is also made for dentists and for dental treatment. It is estimated that the expenses of such a medical service could be defrayed by a tax of Is lOd In the pound, imposed in the same manner as the public health assessment, and that the entire ex penses of operation could be supplied at an individual cost below the 7 shillings capitation basis on which social insurance is now being con ducted. "An Interesting side light Is thrown out on the provision for free choice of physicians, under the so cial insurance plan now In opera tion. A careful study of the district shows that since the introduction of social insurance and the panel sys tem in Glasgow, those affected have not made an effort to exercise any choice in the selection of physicians, but have gone to the nearest and most conveniently located physician. The advantages for the physician of the proposed medical service are the limitation of working hours, v the guaranteed adequate income, the avoidance of waste of time and en ergy, the opportunity for Increased income, the accumulation of experi ence, and the opportunity for grad uate and special work for every practicing physician. The advanta ges claimed for the individual are better treatment at a much less ex pense and for the community, econ omy of administration, and the pre vention of a large amount of disease. The London 'Lancet,' in commenting on the proposed plan, impresses the hope that the authors may have an opportunity of testing It as success or failure would alike afford much needed experience." - ODD AND INTERESTING.

Columbus Dispatch, How to Lessen Robberies St. Paul. Jan. 14. To the Editor of The Bee: Thinking that the crime of robbery was becoming much too frequent in our country, I, about three years ago, througn tne kindness of the governor of my state and of the United States Department of State, obtained some Information as to the means used In different European countries for the preven tion of that and similar crimes. In England, after a convict has served a second term and is dis charged from prison, he must be under the oversight of the police for seven vears (Ave years in a few other countries); but the police visit him In citizen's clothes and try to pro mote his well-being. If he fails to report to the police, or Is found committing an unlawful act, he can be again Imprisoned. We have noth ing like that in this country, though, of course, paroled prisoners are under police surveillance. The "Central Association for the Aid of Discharged Convicts" has been in operation in England since 1911. Some of its members visit convicts in prison three months prior to their release, try to find them em ployment, and by kindly influence and friendly advice keep them from a relapse into crime. In many of the leading European cities, the police obtain and keep, a registration of the inhabitants of their districts, and know all who are indolent and without proper means of support. Also they promptly ob tain information about newcomers. This is not done in our American cities. Most of our prisons are humanely administered: and by good behavior a convict, after serving half his term, can be discharged on parole. The present punishment has no terror for the robber. He should not be discharged from prison till there is ground for believing he will be law abiding. The old-fashioned toll gates. If properly managed by police, on roads leading into cities, can stop the pres ent handy use of automobiles by robbers. The police officers of European cities are paid about as well as we pay the officers of our regular army. The commissioner of police of Lon don is paid $12,000 a year: and all police officers, after 26 years' service, can retire with pay during life equal to two-thirds of their salary at the time of retirement, or a propor tionate amount after 15 years' serv ice and resienation for disability. A more efficient and a more num erous police force in our American cities would be an Important help for the suppression of robberies. Ad miral Dewey said that the United States marine service was the best service in the world. Its officers and men, like those in the regular army, can after 30 years' service and at the age of 62, retire on three-quarters pay for life. It would be true econ omy to put the police in our cities on just as good a footing. It would secure more efficient men. I think that those who are at the head of our state and city govern ments should take the initiative In trying to effect improvements in this matter. It would seem that, if three or five of the more able and experi enced chiefs of pqlice In our country I TOOAV I The Day We Celebrate. Harry W. Christie, realtor, born 1870.
