Her hearts sole warder.

THE NEW BOARD OF PARDONS,
1t Win Recommend the Release Of
Two Indians,
WHITE WATER AND BLACK HAWK.
The First Has Served Nineteen and
the second Seventeen Years in
tho Nebraska Penitentiary
Lincoln Notes.
LINCOLN BUREAU OF THE ONAu, Bss
1929 p STREET,

LINCOLN, July n
The board OF pardons, created by an act OF
the late legislature, will do its first work
July T. 1t is composed Of Judge Reese, At
torney General Leese, Secretary Laws and
Warden Hopkins. The board will recon-
mend the pardon of two Indians, known as
Black Hawk and James White Water, the
former having served nineteen years and tho
latter seventeen years in the state peniten-
tiary. AS stated by The BEE several weeks
ago, Francis Frank, an old and feeble con-
vict who has served eighteen years OF his
sentence, would have been named instead of
White Water, but whom asked for his final
decision in the matter, he said.
"I have no friends living and am in feeble
health. If l should accept my freedom
would probably end my days IN the poor
house, and had rather die where am."
Frank, it is said, is past sixty. seven years
or age. Black Hawk is forty-iive and White
Water fifty three. White Water is very
intelligent Indian who reads and wrtcs
quite we'll, and he nails the intelligence of
his recommendation for pardon with evident
satisfaction. Black Hawk is a stoical fellow
of morose visage, and can not talk English 80
that he can be understood.

THE approval of the bonds of the paw
ing contractors by the board of public
works practically settles tho vexed ques-
tion as to who will do the paving OF the
streets this season. 1t is immaterial to
the people of Omaha whether the con-
tracts be sublet or not, SO long as the
work be done properly according to the
specifications. That there has been
fraud and crookedness in paving and
sewer construction is notorious, and in
competent inspectors are chiefly respon-
sible for this. 1t is out Of tire question
tc expect contractors on public works to
live up to specifications of the board OF
public works If the inspectors can be
tampered with or lack the ability to de-
teet inferior materials and work.

At Work ON Field Nores.

I. Babcock, county surveyor of Perkins
county, and Lon Cunningham, surveyor Of
Chase county are in Lincoln engaged in
writing Up the "feld notes" OF their respec-
tive counties 1t will take these gentlemen
two or three weeks TO complete their work
Mr.. Babcock states that the surveying in
Perkins county is in bad shape. 1t seems
that tine corners can not be found in but few
of the interior towns. The corners in the ex.
terror towns, however, are in better condi-
ton, and most of them can be found. The
gentlemen say that records in the office OF
the commissioner Of public lands and build
ings are entirely .egible, and that they find
1T easy work to make their notes. This shows
good work on the part of the surveyor gea-
eral or his employes.

An Unreportcd Robbery.

A robbery was committed last night that
up to noon to-day had not been reported at
police headquarters. During the early part
of the night sneak thief entered the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. John Mcdonnell and
stole between $500 and sT00 in checks, their
rental collections of the day. Why the theft
ha, not been reported THE BEE representa-
tive has no means of knowing, but it is slyly
intimated that it is probably because the
city has such miserable police protection
that to report il at headquarters would aid
the thief IN escaping and working off his
plunder. 1t is openly stated that Marshal
Carder has employed a lot of ex-convicts as
special detectives and set them to watching
the crooks. This so disgusts the sensible
portion of the city that they think it in vain
to hope for relief from the thugs, thieves and
toughs that infest the city.

THE yalue of substantial fireproof
wall in beating back great sheet of
flame was ably demonstrated in Chicago
day or two ago in the burning of the
Barton block. A dozen or more fire en-
gines were throwing rivers OF water
into the fiery furnace, but the flames
were not checked in the least until they
met this solid wall of fireproof tile,
which did more to subdue the conla-
grafton than the united efforts of Chi
cago's fire department.

MANUAL IRA AIMING IN OMAHA.
The instructor in manual training in
the high ichool has asked for additional
room and also that more attention be
given to this branch of instruction.
The special committee to whom the
matter has been referred should give
the subject of manual training careful
consideration, not only in its general
aspects as part Of public instruction,
but with reference as we'll to what has
been accomplished here. The question
OF the expediency of connecting manual
training with the public schools is
one upon which all educators are
not agreed, and considering the
limited extent to which this training is
associated with the schools of the coun-
try, the conclusion must be that n ma
jority Of educators are not favorable to
it. The plan is, however, making pro-
gress, though slowly, and in cities
where it has received adequate atten-
tion the results have been very satisfac-
tory, and manual training in the
schools is strongly supported. There is
unquestionably a great deal to be said
in its favor, but obviously when un ier-
taken it must be made thorough in Or
der to be effective and to commend it
self to the public. A merely super
fetal system of manual training is a
waste both of the puclic money and the
time of the pupil. We are not fully in
formed regarding the course pursued
and tho results attained in the work of
manual training in Omaha, but the in
ference from the recommendation of the
professor in charge of the work, that
more attention be given to it, must be
that it has been neglected. We think
the system should be continued, but
only upon u basis of such thoroughne less
and efficiency as will give it the high
est practical value to those who
shall avail themselves of it. A
saving in other directions could doubt
less be made for the benefit of the man
ual training school The matter is one
to which the special committee of the
board of education should give more
than n perfunctory consideration.

THE union soldiers and sailors are
well assured of just and generous treat
ment at the hands of the present ad-
ministration. 1t is understood to be
the intention of the various heads of
departments to make no appointments
to Office until all the veterans who were
dismissed by the last administration for
political reasons shall have been re-
stored to their former places in the
offices from which they were removed.
AS the number of veterans dismissed
from the various departments for 'of-
fensive partisanship" and "pernlcious
activity" as viewed by the last
administration, constitutes con-
siderable percentage, it will
require some time to accomplish their
restoration, and meanwhile the cnnsid-
Grafton of other applications win be
postponed. The action Of the admins
tratlon in this matter, and undoubtedly
the entire credit belongs to the presi-
dent, will lack the approval only OF
those who have no sympathy with the
ex-union soldiers and sailors, and who
hailed with qualification every dismis-
sal of one such under the last admins
tration. 1t is simple justice that every
veteran who lost his position in the
public service for political reasons
should be promptly restored to it.
