It It Is hard to imagine great crowds of peo ple, highly enthusiastic, cheering themselves ; jhqarse over a campaign speaker's utterances for fShflil welfare. We even doubt the possibility of pttraeting the general public to attend political f speeches having(for their purpose the increase jnf taxation to provide sufficient wages to supply .the public scliools with the best teaching talent, ift seems almost beyond the bounds of possibil ity that as a people our excitement could ever I'un high over a party plank pledging a state or i,jri ahe nation to the intensive cultivation of thrift, public and individual, and the adoption of close p ijeeononiy in family life. And apparently it would f:,3be sheer idiocy to predict that great popular .iaradcs with bands and banners might some day Iranip over our city streets as an expression of public determination, that every able-bodied man md healthy woman should habitually do a big 'j;er and better day's work and participate in the production of more durable and useful com Jnodities., i The mcre; thought of such things seems a freak of the intellect something to ic dis- iinissed as wholly ridiculous. But 'suppose,: for a moment, they all came rue; that state and national politics had such ssues, along with its others. Would the happi ness and welfare of tiio people be decreased? As : jpolittcs is at present we enthuse over policies no inore important than those suggested. We are ;tirred by the claims of the farm, labor, indus try, business, transportation all important and ofvortliy of the best thought of the nation. Rut J ;here are other- thing's equally worthy, and we - avonder if the introduction of women into gen eral politics may not yet bring them definitely ! icfore the voters. One good, honest hurrah for hild welfare, for better schpols,, for personal ifconomy, for an honest day's work, for horoughness in any and every industrial effort, (is really worth 100 cheers for a public building, or bigger profits,, or any other essentially selfish j olitieal purpose. . ' ' t ." ; Sometime doubtless a long way off men' : md women may restrain their enthusiams for j individual candidates and the plausibilities of j politics, and confine them to better things, such js those ltientioned above, along with good ;joads, a dollar's worth for a dollar, and some jjuch slogan as "millions for the essentials of , Jiealth, sound, morals.-cleari amusements,, com-' ortable living conditions and public and private fducation in morality and effrciency; not one ' tent for extravagance, vain display or greed!" fn idle dream, perhaps, but a .pleasant one. Thrift Clubs Needed, i It is noticeable in every city in the land that the foolish vanity buying is not done so much Jy home owners and people who long ago es tablished goo'd credit, as by those flush with funds from the big wages and big profits of the Jast two' or three years. i' Women whose husband's have to face a land lord's bill every month, men who have not an Invested dollar, join in the purchase of perish able stuffs and showy luxuries with never a ,i thought of the future. Shopkeepers unite in the observation that the customers who buy regard less of prices and with indifference to real lvalues, are made up almost entirely of people Uo whom they would not think of extending jfredit, or of men suddenly rich who regard jhe thousands, or tens of thousands they have Jnade as inexhaustible.' I In other words, the extravagance is largely confined to those who have had no training in Jhe conservation of wage surplus, or in the wise investment of larger amounts. Just now their ignorance of the principles of thrift is costing K tit J T. J . , ...... . ,V'C"' uc,jr 11 usea to oe saia that those who have no property did not have it because they ' vould not know how to keep it if they did have ft .Now we are seeing people suddenly in pos session of means that would buy them homes, .fT large amounts that would yield them safe peonies, throwing away i their greatest oppor tunity to assure future comfort by gratifying a AesTre to make money fly. We' need thrift clubs ow worse than in times when thrift alone tnakes both ends meet. New York and Philadelphia, involving- millions' of dollars', worth of goods, has started other dealers to thinking more seriously ofthe al ready decreased buying power of the public. Back to the Constitution. While the war was on Senator Knox called attention to the fact that we had suspended the Constitution. It was done to vest extraordinary power in tile executive, and to establishJ.Wood row Wilson as the greatest of living rulers and autocrats. The Knox peace resolution, passed by the senate on Saturday,. aims at a return to the Constitution, the ending of the extra constitutional authority granted the president, and the restoration of the republic. And Mr. Wilson has intimated his intention to'veto that resolution, if it passes the house and comes to him for approval. Why? Not because he is not willing that peace should be restored; we have peace in all but name. now. It is because the president is un willing to relinquish any part of the autocratic power he wields so long as he can defeat the repeal of war. One hundred and fifty-two laws, covering practically every activity of the gov ernment, were passed during the war, each ex tending the power and authority of the president in some way not enjoyed by him during peace times, all of which will terminate with the declaration of peace. This is why Mr. Wilson does not want peace by resolution, or in any form other than by the treaty which he knows he can not get ratified. It is high time that constitutional govern ment were restored, and the republic set on its way once more. The war ended for us in'1918, and yet. we are governed under the emergency laws. Moreover, the president has not been content to limit himself to the authority spe cifically granted; he has arrogated even greater privileges and control than were Contemplated. In his veto message last week, he expressed profound' distrust of the congress; how can he expect the congress to ttust him in view of his acts? Xo more complete example of absolutism and executive arrogance has ever been 'given than the" president now affords. Whether the peace resolution is signed or vetoed, thi case against Woodrow Wilson in this regard is com plete. Time to Help Ourselves a Little. When the present democratic administration took up the government at Washington seven years ago, a blanket invitation was issued to all to bring their burdens to the White House. This has been accepted to such an extent that every body runs to Washington now to get help in matters, that should be attended to at home. Out of it has grown another had habit, that I of continually abusing the congress, laying all calamities and mishaps at the doors of the cap itol. One' day last week .the vice president of a big New York company expressed a devout wish that something of busirfess methods could be gotten into congress, and followed this with a categorical statement of the things congress should do to help out in the restoration of business. One was the reduction of taxation, and each of the others called for a liberal ap propriation. The inconsistency of his attitude does not seem to have occurred to the speaker. How he expects the government to provide funds for the restoration of the railroads, for, the further ing of American shipping, to finance foreign commerce, and to similar things and at the same times-to lessen the burden of taxation does not appear. n , If a way could be found to induce private capital to venture into the engagements that are, proposed for government funds; if the-tide of investment could be turned to railroad securi ties,' for example, the need for federal aid would soon disappear. Americans ought to quit look ingat the Treasury as a gigantic cornucopia, from which flows an inexhaustible supply of the needful.'- It is high time that each commenced to hcip himself a little and ceased to run to Washington on matters that s'hould be attended to at home. One Fact Stands Out i In all the controversy over the revolutions pf Admiral Sims one fact stands out clearly with none to dispute it. An attempt, was made to- poison the mind of the admiraj against Eng land and her navy. This was done by an American naval officer whose rank was above fiat of the admiral. 'i In view of the fact, well known everywhere, hat the British navy alone stood between Ger- Jany and" the. domination sheMesired over the' aters of the world, what was the motive be nd the evident intent to. pave the way for sus picion and hostility toward England? A Sign of the Times. Boston reports hundreds of cancellations of oth and textile orders received by New Eng- Band mills. After the enormous profits made y mill owners they can stand the cancellations, tut merchants .over the. country do not want to e caught with their shelves full of goods ought at top prices, when the inevitable sliynp omes. . . The wholesale cut last week of 20 per cent all prices by a widely known retail store in Unit Rule at Chicago. V A discussion has been started in New York over a report that the unit rule is to be invoked to "hold" the New York delegation at the Chi cago convention. That antiquated tool of boss Ism was discarded by the republicans in 1880, and any attempt to revive it would be apt to meet with such disapproval as would quickly settle prospects of whoever happened to be back of the movement The one outstanding element of a republican convention is that each deligate is free to carry out his instructions, if he ha I any, or to vote his own convictions without die tation or direction. This permits such division of state delegations as Nebraska will present, where a portion of the delegates are instructed for Wood, because of the vote of the district that sends them, although the delegates-at-large are directed to vote, for Johnson, because of the ag gregate vote being in his favor. That these dele gates will carry out their instructions is not doubted by any. To undertake to swing them away from this duty through the application of the unit rule would make a farce iof the primary. That New York delegates will equally resent any attempt to place their votes in mass may be ac cepted. Whoever is named at Chicago, it will be the voice of the delegates that decides the choice. i Millions for Luxuries. Luxury tax internal revenue collections in New York City have averaged $3,500,000 a day during the past month. That willful waste makes woeful want has not yet dawned on the easy spenders of Manhattan. They are "blow ing it in" for unnecessary vanities at a tre mendous rate. Easy come, easy go. Quick dollars flit with speed. Slow dollars come hard and stay longer. So runs the world away. Levi P. Morton attained-1 unusual ltngth of years, and died full of honor and dignity, but with something even more" priceless, the calm of a well earned rest in honorable and vener able old age.

' - ANCIIUSA. IT is a pleasure to agree with Mr. Bainhridge Colby ,that the United States should take part in the reformation of the world, even if we have to ship troops abroad to enforce peace. With this stipulation, that no soldier dispatched in this service should be less than forty years old, and that in drafting the troops preference should be given tp-'politicians and journalists.

' In Thick Finn Mark Twain glori fied the feebleminded ne'er-do-well type so. well known to all of uh who have lived, In small towns, and just as well known (o social workers In the city. The "Dwellers in tho Vale of Sidiiem" may never have a wide circle of readers, but when it comes to telling the plain truth about the lluck Finn type it has Mark Twain's story gone to a turn. . The story is the result of an Inves tigation made by Dr. Rogers and Miss Merrill of the Minnesota School for Feeble Minded and Colony for Epllenlics. These authorities found that tney had 10 inmates from one neighborhood, several of the same name, and, upon investigation, of the same family. This caused them to investigate. 'The names of the families and the location of the Minnesota valley are both camou flaged. About the year 1855 several dis tinctly American families left New York state principally, and settled in a wild ravine in which a little gold had been found. Among these families were the Yaks (not kin to Doe Yak), who had been driven off Indian lands In New York state, on which they had fraudulently en tered. The tribe of Chad descended from. Jake, who served a te'rm in Sin Sing before going to Minnesota. Other families were the Coreys, the Tarns, the Sadhuns, the Barts, the Glades, the Hemps, the Rats, the Cams, the Silvers, and the Jincades. These families lived in huts, shacks, dugouts and caves in the hollows. They Intermarried and lived! together unmarried and' ' fre quently promiscuously. They bred like rats, a woman not infrequently having a dozen to 15 children, some times fathered by one man, some times by a group. Fo nearly 65 years these- families have furnished a constant supply of subjects to the penitentiaries, jails, workhouses; insane asylums, orphan asylums and institutions for the fee ble minded. In the main they were vagabonds, lazy, shiftless, , minor criminals. Tommy Silver and Dud Jincado were the onty tt'o members of the tribe with courage and en ergy enough to make major crimi nals of themselves in their own vicin ity, though it is hinted that some of them have broken away from the clan and have become train rob bers and bank robbers in far away places. Of the dwellers in the Vale of Sid- dem 1,618 were studied by the in vestigators. Of this number oiriy 156 are normal, 199 are feeble minded, 15 epileptic, insane, 125 sexually immoral, 15 - criminalistic, 134 alceholic, 47 tuberculous, 12 paralyzed,, . 2 j migrainous, , 96 nerv ous, hi, died in , infancy, 27 died young! and 892 others practically all either eccentric, peculiar, shift less, immoral ure set 'down as un classified.- . ln.the-studyof the Yaks 641 were ineluded.. - Fifty-three we're feeble minded, 24,. insane, 44 grossly im moral,; and 39 habitual alcoholics.

Let The Bee Advise You. Onuilitt Teachers' Pension Fund. A Teacher Q. Will you please publish a statement of the legal status of the Omaha Teachers' Pen sion Fund? A Teacher. A. Tho Omaha Teachers' Pen sion Fund was provided for by enact ment of the state legislature in 1909 and there has been no change by amendment since that time.. We understand that some suggested changes are under consideration by the teachers theniHelves but so far as we know they have not yet . taken concrete form. '. The complete act may be con sulted 'bv reference to Revised Statutes 1913 Sections 7017 to 7056 inclusive. It is provided that a public school teachers' fund shall be created in Omaha in the following' manner: First, " by assessment of not less than 1 per cent nor more than iy2 per cent of. every installment of salary paid to a teacher. Second, by setting aside from the general fund of the school district an amount not less than one and one-half times the amount of the salary assessments nor less than the amount neicessary to meet payments of pensions. . Any teacher who has been credited under the rules and regula tions of the board of education with an aggregate of 35 years of teaching experience may bo retired by the board, and any teacher who' has'been accredited with 40 years of teaching experience;, shall be retired for no other cause than length of service. Any teacher who is so retired and who has spent at least 20 years of the required teaching experience in the public schools, of Omaha shall be entitled to receive from the teach ers' fund for life equal monthly in stallments aggregating $500 per annum. ' ' Any teacher who has been credited with an aggregate of 25 or more years of teaching experience may be retired by tho board on account Of disability or incapacity, physical or otherwise. Any teacher so re tired, provided at least 20 years of such accredited teaching experience shall have been in the public schools of Omaha ahall.bo entitled to re ceive from the. teacher"'.' fund monthly Installments the annual ag gregate of which slyill be audi' per centage of the sum of $500 ns the number of yours of teaching ex perience;.! .of the ' beneficiary shall bear to the term of 35 years. Ap plication may bo made for rein statement should tho disability or Incapacity' be. removed. In case of reinstatement the number of -years1 of retirement is ineluded to deter mine the years of teaching ex perience but not to determine the amount of pension a teacher ia en titled to. Dischargo for cause other than disability, or incapacity, or for length of service, shall forfeit any right of such teacher to benefit from, tho teachers' fund. Any teacher regularly employee: by the board on March 24, 1909, may be exempted from salary assess ments toward the teachers' fun4 upon approval of the board of u application for such exemption, children rode in one carriage and her negro children in another. Why is all this filth made into' a book? In order to drive home some conditions existing right among us, and to arouse public sentiment to find a remedy: The building of prisons and asylums as a remedy does not work.
