' I ; A bill now before the house with a favorable committee recommendation and with excellent prospects of becoming law permits the Inde- pendent School District of Omaha to sell bonds bearing interest as high as 6 per cent. ,The pur pose ot this, and the only reason on which it can -be justified, is to provide the money needed for the erection of the High School of Com merce. The bill also provides that bonds may. be offered in multiples of $100, with a hope that local, buyera will take them as investments, Some members of the Douglas county delegation favored setting the denomination as low 'as $S0; out this was found to be inexpedient because of other laws that would have to be amended. Members of the Board of Education are con vinced, however, that a considerable sum in bonds may be disposed of to Omaha. folks in the proposed denominations. Fixing the rate of interest is a concession to the money market, where Omaha long time 'se curities, in common with those of most other cities of the same class, are selling around 5.25. That figure has been quoted a number of tunes as the ideal one for the city, determined by con ditions in the money market. A tax-exempt 5n- v vestment at that rate looks mighty good to most buyers. The Bee was and is of the opinion that the interest rate should not have been in creased, nor permission given to sell'the bonds at les3 than par, feeling that purchasers could be found for iNl that will, be issued to complete the urgent work at hand. ' However, if the school board thinks it is acting for the best in-' terests of the taxpayerta I course will prob ably be followed as outlined. . j J White on this topic; it may not be ont of place to suggest that plans be laid to get public' (school finances back onto a solid footing. For tany years a steadily mounting deficit has ap peared in the balance sheet, due in part tothe different endings of the year, which' has', led to anticipation of revenue and expenditure of funds' not' actually on hand. While this is technically correct, the overlap resulting has grown until it jjiow stands at a formidable figure. This was1, " met last fall by the issue 6i short-time notes, from the proceeds of which' the schools, were carried on, but , that' method of financing; how ; ever permissable as a"war-tffle expedient, is too Expensive and true economy 'suggests that the ' floating debt be wiped out as soon as possible. i It is beyond hope ..of accomplishment to re duce expenses of the. public schools in a rapidly growing community, auebvas Omaha,' yet pru- : dent management requires that the work be kept ' as nearly on a cash basis as possible. . The peo ple, however generous they are in making pro vision for the schools, yet expect that a,, due re gard for the interests of all.be exhibited, in the . economicajadministration of the budget. The financial problems of the present board will not rnd with Jhe pasting of law giving permission lo sell the bonds at ait increased interest rate. . .-- . . V f. A Hero of Every-Day Life. ! The death of a city detective, Arthur G. "jdooper, from wounds inflicted by a fleeing ban dit will give many citizens a new realization of the heroic services that are' renderid by the " Omaha police force. In the 12 years of his service, this officer had been many times under . jtne fire of lawless men. . The public, reading of ' these skirmishes, little realised the heroism that it signified, considering it all in the night's work - ii its protectors. I 1 ' It must be confessed that all too. often the American sympathy for the underdog pits its .sentiment on the side of criminals who are seen ai. the victims of hard luck or evil environment struggling against an impersonal' organization vwith, whom they are perpetually at war. Clear cut episodes such as the assassination of Detec tive Cooper ought to serve to correct this maud lin sentiment that extends even to juries and parole'-officers. Men who are out to commit crime are capa . bU of violence against persons as well as prop erty. Those who -shoot down one person for one cause are liable to shoot down another for some other cause. The death of this officer TFill not have been entirely in vain if the people of Omaha will definitely lack the arm of the law with their respect, confidence and appreciation. to the north which was a part of ihe war events, resulted disastrously in many casts be- j cause the clnnutc and congestion oi the cities was unfavorable to this southern race. Better housing conditions and the spread of hygienic knowledge are the needs as read by tin- insur ance companies. - If this object can be secured, in ueuclUiiig the colored people, the other parts of the popu lation will benefit themselves alsoas ill-health knows no racial lines Vid cannot be isolated when it abounds in any district of a community. ' Diminishing Stream of Booze. According to his announced plans, Super visor Kramer hopes to shut off a portion of the liquor supply in the United States during the coming days. One of the inexplicable features of the enforcement of the prohibitory law has been the ease of withdrawal from storehouses of contraband whisky. At no time or place lias the law been especially effective, while permits to handle the forbidden article have created suc'i a scandal as lps almost discouraged those who earnestly expected a "dry"-Amcriea. Perhaps the advocates of prohibition looked for too A Line 0' Type or Two Htw to tht Lint, ltt too quips (all whero they may A Short-Lved Race. I The auxiliary Icrvice of life insurance in- pro ttcting national health is seldom realized. In 'the south companies writing policies for negroes -tiave discovered that the dAth rate for this race ' js much higher than for whites, and a movement is under way to make each insurance solicitor who calls on the negro population an advocate hygiene and sanitation, giving information aik" scattering literature. ' As reported in the- Survey, the Metropolitan Life Insurance 'company, 'with 1,750,000 indus trial policy holders among negroes, finds the ' death rate to be 16 per thousand, as contrasted yith JO per .thousand among white workers." i The average life of a white man in the indus ' trial department is 46 years, and of a colored man is 37, and! that ofa white woman worker -is 52 as contrasted 'with 39 yearsfor a negro woman, - Tuberculosis, shows double, the death rate amtng negroes, and infant mortality is also hlgU."; . ,V ' ' , It is iuXeresting to note that the migration that little likelihood of a complete drouth ex isted. Mr. Kramer announced several weeks ago that absolute cessation of drinking is im possible, but he hoped by a stricter enforcement of the law to reduce the practice to a minimum. Congress has taken a part in the affair, by cutting down the amount asked for the enforce ment of the law, thus doing away with one of the flagrant abuses, that of providing soft berths for men whose only interest in prohibition comes from the easy money it offers. With the passing of war time "prosperity," with its plcnli tude of mdney, the bootlegging business v.-ill lose much of its attractiveness, for customers who hitherto have willingly parted with fancy sums for inferior whisky will not be so readily bled in the future. These changes will simplify Mr. Kramer's problem to some , extent, and if he tari get closer and more effective supervision over the bonded warehouses and the drug store permits, he will take a long step to the ac complishment of, his end, Other sign might be enumerated, all point ing to the conclusion that Americans are be"- domingymore patient under the prospect of per manent prohibition, and with the passage of days more, reconciled to the thought of water in some one of its numerous forms as a bev erage, in time the pcnauium may swing oacK, but at present the indications suggest a long dry spell. IT would help along the economic readjust ment, suggests Dean Johnson, of New York University's School of Commerce, if Ave all set tire to our Liberty bonds. We can't go along with the Dean so far, but we have a hundred shares of copper stock that we will contribute to a community bonfire.

' , "Just Between Us Democrats." As the Cardinal Lord Archbishop of Rheims took up the matter of cursing the thief who had prigged his turquoise ring, "in holy anger and pious grief," so does the .World-Herald proceed to chastise those democrats who voted to in struct Senator Hitchcock; to support the Ford ney, tariff bill. It is a solemn affair, brethren, this dispute between us democrats. We are ex pected to stick together, particularly when it comes to opposing anything suggested by a republican. Especially does this apply to pro tective tariff, even wheri the purpose of such tariff, is to. benefit the wheat, growers of Ne braska. Better many times over that all the wheat should' be sold at a loss than that the har mony that, distinguishes the party of Bryan and Muxphjv Cox and McAdoo, Daniels and Baker, Palmer and "Brennan, should be disturbed by any such, act as that of which the democrats in the Nebraska legislature have been guilty. However it is some comfort to know how the home folks feel, about it, even if it Joes com plicate matters for the' senator, and possibly make "Charley" White's job of reconstruction a little more difficult. Bat the democratic mi-. rity in the Nebraska legislature has undoubt edly evaporated before the withering blast from our . democrat! contemporary. Practical Philanthropy. The first practical step to utilize the williug- ness of the farmers to contribute corn for the alleviation' of hunger abroad has beea taken by Dr. J. E. Kirby of the Near East Relief council. There is no doubt that many farmers are ready, as' the leader of one of their organizations wired Herbert Hoover, to "market their surpl-us.com in relief and take their pay in good will." , Several thousand bushels of corn have al ready been Sent to the Armenians, and now the middle west is given opportunity to contribute 500,000 bushels more. What part of this comes from Nebraska and westefn Iowa is to be milled in Omaha and packed for shipping overseas. If the' philanihropy of the farmers were merely to throw a great quantity of corn on the market, the poceeds of which were to be spent in buy ing other food here or abroad, the corn growers would only be injuring themselves by their donations. But now that a practical system of actually making use of the surplus, in places where starvation dwells has been designed, the farmers are at last enabled to assist their neigh bors overseas without hurt to themselves. If the proper organization is set up, thousands of farmers, with their grain heaped high, would be willing to haul a wagon load of corn to town and give it freely. Fade-Out for Central. After all, we will miss "Central"' when the. automatic telephones come into use. For one thing, we will have no one to blame but our selves whn we dial the wrong number. Now that she is about to leave, we realize that she has been at least as accurate as wc, and at all events did not attempt to converse with a cigar or pipe in her mouth, as did some of her inter locutors at the other end of the line. Thinking it over, great credit must be given to the central operators for their patience. "The voice with the smile" has soothed many a patron and given freely a shining example of self re straint, for operators arc seldom known to answer back. Training at the switchboard mast have imparted valuable training to these young women, giving them a real value in other trying positions, among which, without making any definite proposal, we suggest matrimony. The headline writer who informs the world that a speaker will address the "taxpayers' body" evidently believes it is time for a funeral, and that some one has been taxed to death. The California shoe string and pencil peddler who has fallen heir to a fortune probably did not need it as badly as some of the people .who slipped him a charitable dime.

The officers were rather indignant when they learned the facts, but obligingly conducted a search for the" missing roomers, though their search was in vain.

Most of the rules for swimming pools relate to the care given the pool itself. Below are some of the rules which the children who Use the school pools in New York City must follow: The swimming period is 40 min utes, including time for dressing and undressing. In the days of the old swimming hole a session lasted at least three hours and it took 40 minutes to unite the knots in one's clothes. " To avoid drowning and sudden death from- what is erroneously called cramps, each child is ex amines! for heart disease ' before being sent to the pool. I dare say there are very few children with heart disease who need to be kept away from the swimming pool. For sanitary reasons pupils in street drcsttes must keep out of the pool lncloswre. Each pupils must attend to his toilet, take a shower bath (with soap) and pass inspection before en tering the pool. Pupils that are dirty, who have sores, recent vac cinations, cough or cold, eye or ear trouble, must be excluded from the pool. Girls will wear a plain, close fit ting rubber cap and a gray, one piece swimlng suit of fast color. To guard against accidents, run ning, playing tag, and pushing are prohibited. , Expectorating in the pool or ad jacent floors is prohibited and is cause for expulsion. Appropriate signs embodying these rules must be posted promiscuously. The teacher must see that every pupil goes to the toilet and takes a thorough shower before entcritlhe pool incloeure. After the shower the teacher must inspect the pupils before giving permission to enter the water. - ' Hygiene inspection evidence of flriitn illness, infections or contag ious diseases should exclude pupils at nnr. Body should be clean, particularly fh f-ftiri. Body should be free of any kind of cut. rash, eruption, or uwenarge, Head and scalp should be clean and free from nits and lice. While all these rules are proper and the laws of hvgiene and sanlta tion should be strictly followed by all who use pools the reasons for them relate to deoency. estnetics. ana high standards more than to heaitn So far as we have evidence, very liitln enntafrion is spread by swim mine pools.

It seems that all com petitive bidders, regardlers of their reputation, qualification and ability, were Ignored but the highest one, therefore, the action of the county commissioners does not look to be fair and square and that they have not acted in good faith. i Ws as taxpayers have a right to know why the aforementioned coun ty commissioners should be allowed to juggle away approximately the sum of $6,000 of our money, acting in the capacity as sen-ants of tho people. That $6,000 would pay the interest on the amount of $10,000 worth of court house bonds at f per osnt for one year. If other restora tion and reconstruction , contracts reiat vo to the decoration contract are awarded to the highest bidders, no doubt Douglas county nuances very shortly will bo at a law ebb. and it Is uo to the taxpayers, col lectively, vigorously to protest such action. We trust the elected officials to do their sworn duty in serving the people as a whole and not to Show any partiality. ' If either one of those gentlemen were to let a- contract for their personal belongings they' most as suredly ould let it to tha lowest bidder, same as prescribed by law for public institutions. , It the dif ferent bids had varied a few hundred dollars it would not be to greatly noticed and the argument trflght be overlooked, but when it makes a difference of approximately 15 per cent or one-seventh the amount, it becomes too conspiclous to be over looked. Although an injunction is or will be served on the commissioners restraining them from awarding the contract, would like to hear from others on this subject. ' . L. PHIUPSON, 1618 Davenport Street.
