A Newspaper Man Has Damaging
Proofs Against Him.

H. S. Reed, business manager of the West
ern Resources, printed at Lincoln, with grip
sack, is at the Mllard, boiling over with in
dignation in consequence of the manner in
which he and his paper have been treated by
one G. A. Siegfried, Of late in the employ of
the Western Resources in drumming up
''ads" for its columns. Mr.. Reed hurried
thither from Lincoln in response to tele
phone dispatch from the Garfield house that
they had drawn draft on the newspaper
firm for $40 worth of meals and sleeping, ali
of which was enjoyed by Siegfrled. Mr.
Reed, upon receipt of these tidings, and being
anxious to commune with Siegfried upon
some previous mistakes Of his life, namely
beating hotels at Norfolk, Nebraska City,
Lincoln and other cities in the state while in
the employ of Mr.. Hale, the agent of the
Mutual Life Insurance company and the
Resources, and securing money under false
pretenses at Lincoln, and with view in con-
sequence of these disclosures of dis
posing Segfried of his credentials
came ON to Omaha and arrived here Friday.
Upon personal investigation Mr.. Reed says
he discovered that Segfried had also worked
the Merchants hotel on the strength of the
Resources, and had also collected 81 from
Sievers, the seed man, for an lad" which he
had not sent to the office
Accidentally Mr.. Reed met Siegfried in
the Millard Friday night, and he made as
excuse for his shortcomings that he had been
drunk and promised to make full amends for
his conduct Saturday morning. Upon these
promises Siegfried was allowed to depart, but
up to last night had not kept good his prom
Use, and Mr.. Reed promises to give him an
airing through the Western Resources that
will put a stop TO his imposltions on hotel
keepers and business men.

Convict Immigration.

Governor Ames OF Massachusetts a
few days ago sent to the legislature of
that state a message calling attention
to the alleged practice Of sending crimi-
nails TO this country from Great Britain,
and suggesting that congress be asked
to take action in the matter. The gov
ernor states that there seems abundant
evidence that persons are released from
the penal and reformatory institutions
they go at once to the United States or
Canada, and it is believed that many Of
those Of this class who 60 to Canada
soon cross the line to this country.
Very few of these people come to Amer
lea with view to reformation, but
to continue the pursuit of their
criminal career, and sooner or later
nearly all OF them find their
way into our jails and penitentiaries.
The most experienced and desperate
criminals in this country come from
abroad, and most largely from England.
The English burglar, of whom "Bill
Sykes" is the type, is the most daring
and reckless Of his class, and the Eng
lish pickpocket the most expert among
his order of criminals.
The information upon which Gov
ernor Ames based his IN essage was SUBJ
mitted by the state board of lunacy and
charity. 1t appears that early in the
present month there arrived in New
York and went thence to Boston an
English burglar who had been released
from prison in England pd assisted to
this country. This man stated that
previous TO his release the governor OF
the prison had asked him to accept
transportation 10 this country, and
through the agency OF a society in Man
chester, England, organized to secure
the transportation of convicts to
America, his fare was paid to Boston
He was accompanied to the steamer by

An Effort to Stop Mrs. Magrane's Party
Proves a Failure.
Last night at Mrs. Magranes dancing
school there was other music besides that in
tended for the dancers, and though there
was for short time a regular war of words
the little woman carried her point 1t appears
that she had rented the Metropolitan hall for
every Saturday evening during the season
for her dancing school, She generally ends
her dances between 10: 80 and IL 100 p. M, but
a week ago last night to accommodate the
management who wished to rent the hall to
other parties from the hour Of 10, she closed
her school at that hour. Las evening while
her school was in progress she was handed a
note from Dave Kaufman, the manager Of
the hall, notifying her that the hall had been
rented to the Metropolitan club after 10
O'Clock and that she must vacate at that
time. Mrs. Megrane sent back word
that she herself had the hall
for the whole evening and she did
not propose to vacate it until her usual time
This defiant note brought up julius Meyer,
who informed Mrs. Magrane If she and her
class were not out of the room by FIVE
minutes after 10 he would turn the gas out
and leave them in darkness. The young
gentlemen present did not approve of the
manner in which their teacher was being
talked to and they rallied to the rescue AS
they grew earnest IN manner julius beat a
hasty retreat, and returned shortly with Max
and Mor1tz Meyer. Their talk also had no
effect upon Mrs. Magrane, and according to
his threat julius turned of the gas. How
ever he could only find the stop cock for the
central Jets and extinguished these The
Jets on the wall still burned as brightly as
ever and the dancing continued unremittingly
until 1920. Sometime during the course of
the squabble Max Meyer lost a valuable
diamond from one of his shirt studs.

Change the Commencement Exercises.
A sensible petition was sent to the
board Of education by members OF this
years high school draduating class.
The petition asked that the graduating
exercises, which take place in the latter
part of June, be changed from the man
ner now in vogue. lit has been time
honored custom, and in fact one OF tho
requirements for receiving n diploma,
that graduates deliver an Grafton or
read an original essay on commence
ment day.
This practice has been strictly ad-
hered to up to the present time. The
young men and young women who have
been graduated from the high school
have all passed through this ordeal.
When the high school attendance was
small, and the graduating class num-
bered only dozen members, exercises
of this character were not SO much out
Of place. But at present, when the
number of graduates aggregates score
or more, and when the courses Ofinstruc-
tion are SO varied, an exhibition OF
Oratory for commencement exercises Is
at best meaningless dress parade. In
the first place, nobody is deluded into
the belief that commencement exercises
afford fair index Of the graduate's four
years. school work. Yet everything Is
done to hedge commencement day with
halo OF glory for the graduates. With
superficial mental training a Ounce may
with oratorical dash win the applause
that ought to go to the more meritor-
ject matter of the essays is either pill
fered bodily from magazines and CYCLIC
pedias or inspired by accommodating
instructors. The saddest commentary
on superficial education is an essay read
by sixteen-year-old graduate on
subjects which are beyond pos
sible comprehension of an i'm
mature mind. This is nothing
more nor less than playing parrot.
Such graduating efforts are sham and
a snare. The main purpose of educa-
tion is to teach young men and young
women to think and form opinions for
| themselves.
1t is high time that STACEY commence
| ment exercises were discarded and SUI
perceded by something more stimulat-
| ing to good scholarship. If the board
of education thinks it necessary that
commencement exhibitions should be
| kept up, let the exercises be such as to
reflect the real work and mental grasp
| of the graduates.
1t is only by falling in with the pro-
gressive ideas of education that the
board can raise the standard of scholar
ship in our schools, and SO do away with
/ shams and show.

AMERICANS have so long boasted over
the public school system of this country
that we have unconsciously come to re-
gard it as the best in existence. 1t was
therefore something of surprise to the
National Educational Association in
Washington when President Elliott, of
Harvard university, recently read a
paper before that body showing that
it is sadly defective and below that of
France and Germany. He very justly
censured our books of ofinstruction. They
are filed with cumbersome rules which
consume the energies of the youthful
mind while trying to master them. The
trouble with many OF the institutions OF
this country is that while they were
good for the times which gave them
birth, they have not been changed with
the changing conditions OF existence.
Our public school system is much in
need Of radical reform in many essen
tial particulars. -.

THE case of the wonderful boy pianist,

board cited other cases OF assisted crirni-
nails which had come to its knowledge.
The charge that the practice prevails
in Great Britain of deporting. criminals
to this country is not now made for the
first time, but for some reason or other
it has not received the attention which
so grave a matter demands. 1t is to be
supposed that since the governor Of n
state, acting upon the official informa-
tion of responsible board, has thought
SO seriously of the matter rs to present
it to the Legislature and suggest that
congress be memorialized to take recog-
nizance of it, something will be done.
There is law, perhaps sufficiently
stringent in its terms, intended to
keep foreign criminals out OF
the United States, but it has been very
fully shown that it can be eluded. 1t
may be doubted whether it be possibly
to frame q law that could not be, unless
it were made rs Extensively inquisitorial
as are the laws of most European coun-
tries relating to persons entering and
travelling in those countries. Such O
law would very likely not be approved
by popular sentiment in the United
States. But it does seem that the gov
ernment OF the United States may very
properly, in the assertion of interna-
tional right and comfy, demand Of the
English government that II the prac-
tice anywhere exists within its
jurisdiction of releasing crimi-
nails on the condition that they
go to this country, and assisting
them to come here, such practice shall
be abandoned and adequate safeguards
and penalties provided against it. Toll
GRAFTON of such an abuse must aggra-
vate it, and too little attention has thus
far been given the matter. 1t may not
be wise to accept in full faith the state
ment of criminals who have come here,
but the way is open to trustworthy
official information. There is an
American consul at Manchester who
would probably have little difficulty in
| learning whether there exists in that
city a society organized to secure the

Crime is rapidly increasing in the
| United States, and statistics show thai
a very large percentage of the criminals
are of foreign birth-men ana women
who have been trained to crime before
they came to our shores. They are the
most daring and desperate violators O
