bly, considered by the board as a committee
of the whole, but 1t was discovered that there
was not sufficient time between that date
and election day TO advertise the matter the
number of weeks required by law.
1.-THE matter was the then dropped. but in
January another resolution was in
troduced asking for the sum of 5000. 900 in
bonds, many Of the members believing that
the people would not favor the large amount
first asked. This resolution passed but as
the citizens were to vote on the issuance of
bonds for the city hail February s, it was
therefore deemed not polite to saddle the
other bonds on them.
"Somc of the members did not favor tho
last amount asked for, as it would fail to
provide for permanent building ut West
Omaha, loves addition and Fifth and HiclS-
ory. 1t was estimated later that Hartman,
Long and Central schools were the places IN
greatest need of buildings, and that S277 800
would be necessary to meet this demand.
Accordingly DR.. Savlle introduced a res
oluton asking for the issuance of S275, 900 in
bonds. The resolution, however, was laid
over for future consideration.
1.-THE Hartman building has been con-
demned, as is well known, and new struc.
ture is necessary. At the Long school, If IN
eight-room building were erected, it is said
that seven rooms could be Immediately
filled. 1t is thought that the Central school,
which is now held in the high school build
ing, will soon be entirely driven ont by the
growth Of the high school itself. A new
building, therefore, is deemed u necessity.
1.-THE Hickory school is said to be needing
ing permanent building badly Two of the
rooms of this school are in frame buildings,
two are in store rooms and one is i'm a
dwelling house. Besides this, a large number
of the Hickory pupils have been crowded
out and sent over to the Pacific school which
in turn has to rent four rooms that are
termed frame ovenS.' If q twelve-r room
building were erected at Hickory, 1t is est-
mated that nine would be filed Immediately.
"Dr. Saville says, however, that the wants
of the Hickory school cannot be met IL only
1915, 900 is voted for improvements.
1.-THE bonds asked for will be voted on at
one time, but only about $50, 600 issued at
time. They are to run from ten to twenty
years and draw 5 per cent interest. II is
urged that paying interest on these bonds is
much cheaper than paying rent while much
better school facilities are enjoyed"

Our New Navv

The Newark Advertiser finds some
thing TO arouse the pride of every
citizen in the spectacle of our new fleet
of new warships sailing out of New
York harbor to display our ensign in
the ports of all our sister nations. 1t
is indeed an edifying occasion; but is
there not a humiliation in its novelty?
Only twenty years ago we possessed
a navy which, if not the finest in the
world, at least stood comparison with
those of second rate maritime powers,
and which afforded o nucleus from
which, with our national energy and
resources, we might have easily built
up a formidable marine force. The
Newark AdUegtfser must be well
aware that Republican misrule is re-
sponsible for the dry rot hat con
sumed that branch of our national
armament, and it must be well aware
that the rehabilitation, of which the
particular event In question is the
first fruit, was purely and entirely the
product of Democratic honesty and
vigor.
The Republican party is to blame
for dragging our flag in the dust in
many ways. The weakness of its
foreign policy and the venality of
those who have administered it have
covered us with shame, while the
notorious im~possibility OF our taking
aggressive measures to protect our
citizens or our rights has made war
like nations regard us with contempt.
