Teachers in Philippines.
From the Omaha Bee.

The mission Of teachers in the Philippines
IS one of peace and good will. They are
laying the foundations of an Americanism
that will be most fruitful of benefits. They
should be well paid, well protected and
made to understand in practical and sub
stantial way that the service they are
rendering to their country, to civilization
and to the cause Of peace in the Philippines
is understood and appreciated in their
native land.

The House Consular Bill.

From the Chicago Record Herald. ..s
The general public Is so familiar with the
inadequacies and imperfecttons of our con-
sular system that no one but spoiis poll
tician fails to recognize the need of a COM
plete reorganization of the service on the
basis of merit and qualification. This need
Is plainly apparent under ordinary condf-
tions, but In an era of commercial expan-
sion, when we are reaching out for new
markets, the need of trained and experienced
consuls, whose promotion Is based on DEM
onstrated fitness is especially urgent.

Phone number ''oDe-nfty.''

AT this season of weddings
and other social events the
question OF proper footwear
naturally presents itself. How
well we attend to the wants
OF those in search of foot
wear for such occasions is
demonstrated in the immense
trade We enjoy. Every new
est novelty is represented
what you want YOU cannot
fail to find here. There's no
other stock from which You'll
be satisfied to select. Not if
you are particular not if
YOU care for "exclusiveness-
for correctness" "
Special attention is called
TO our exclusive shoes for
street wear. We have the
styles sanctioned by undis-
puted authority. Our great
store. occupying entire build
ing, is unsurpassed in the
matter of appointments and
our Salespeople are educated
to the highest point in the
fitting of shoes. In spring
styles we ask only an inspec-
ton. The variety is greater
than we have ever shown
they are distinctive creations
each pair having character
are graceful and perfect fit
ting.
Our enormous display of
novelty footwear shown here
will surprise you. Boots for
shooting. golhng, fencing,
hunting, riding, etc, are to be
seen here in wide array.
The changeable weather of
April suggests damp-proof
footwear-shoes which are
lmpervious to water, hence
requiring no rubbers. Shoes
for such wear need not be
clumsy, and this showing
demonstrates how neat and
trim such footwear can be.

poor are the most forward with their
claims, and it is the function of the charity
organization to correct the tendency of this
rule by discouraging the giving of aims
to the street beggars and the placing OF
help within the reach of the obscure suf-
ferers. If the generously inclined people
would refuse Systematically to give to the
street beggars the latter would be soon
driven either into honest employment for
which doubtless most of them are physical
ly competent, or to the agencies for relief,
where they could be treated on an even
plane with the deserving but self-respect-
ing sufferers. With all the relief money
then turned into the common fund more
genuine relief would be effected, more
worthy individuals reached, less encour-
agement given to mendicancy and perhaps
a larger permanent gain in the great fight
against poverty and incompetence. With
