rHn ApprAL ro nHlRIrr

President Roosevelt's appeal TO the
country for contributions for the relief
of the sufferers from the Martinique
and st. Vincent catastrophes should
meet with prompt and generous re-
Spouse. Never has a worthier call been
made upon the charity Of the American
people, who have ever been found will
ing to give most freely to the suffering
of whatever land. The terrible calamity
has made thousands of people homeless
and destitute and they must perish If
relief be not sent them at once.
The government is doing its part.
Half a million dollars has been appro-
priated by congress and the Departments
of War and Navy have with most com
mendable promptness made preparations
for forwarding supplies. The president
has designated committees in a number
of cities to solicit contributions and
postmasters and presidents of national
banks throughout the country are asked
to assist in the work of relief. Let the
people now promptly supplement the
action of congress and the executive au-
thorities by contributing as generously
as they are able to do and the distress
and suffering of the stricken people of
the West Indian islands, our neighbors.
will speedily be relieved and another
record made Of American generosity.
The gentlemen designated as the com
mittee for Omaha al be depended upon
to perform the duty with zeal and en-
ergy and the contribution of this city to
the relief fund will undoubtedly be lib

assumed, during the administration of

trary a further advance, so that at the

tive system will be more firmly rooted

Live Nebraska Towns
FULLERTON-Attractive and Advancing.

In speaking or writing about live Ne
braska towns, Fullerton should not be
overlooked. No man, woman OF child ever
lived here but who spoke in the highest
terms Of the place. No one ever visited
Fullerton but what they fell in love with
the city. This ought to be a good test
OF the merits OF the place. The question
follows, What is II that attracts people to
Fullerton? In the first place. every one
who was ever here is quick to see the nat
ural beauty of the place. and when men
who have travelled all over the land stand
on some one OF the high eminences that
abound on the west of the town and pro-
claim that there Is the finest TOWNSHIP
l have ever SEEN" the reader can begin to
see why we boast of this lovely little city,
100 miles west Of Omaha. Here is the hn-
est natural scenery to be found In the COM
monwealth OF Nebraska.
Here the busy little town lies nesting
In the lap Of the Cedar and Loup, along
whose courses nature has lavfshly dis
played her skill in making restful and
beautiful this place.
Fullerton is an ideal place in which to
live. Here education and refinement OF
the highest order abound. Here are the
best graded schools In Nebraska Of any
town twice or thrice it's size. Here nearly
all Christian denominations have we'll at
tended churches and the different societies
that go with hem. Here all civic societies
flourish Xix a green bay tree. There are
so many nice things that can be said Of
Fullerton, but to write Of them as they are.

clined to think that fattery may be In

pointedly that such is not the case.
Fullerton is the county seat OF Nance
county. Do not mix Nance up with the gem
eral run Of Nebraska counties. for II you do
you inflct injustice upon us. Nance county
was held out by the Pawnees until the
very last. Here they selected theit home.
They had been for years In the state OF
roaming at will. and when they came to
select a place to call their home Nance
county appealed to them and here they ex-
listed. When the government finally con-
cluded that the Indian must go, they sold
the land outright to the people. There were
no homesteads. no tree claims. This
brought to Nance county a splendid class
Of farmers. and a splendid class Of farm
ers attracted a splendid array OF
mechanics. artisans and general resi-
dents. Fullerton, as a result Of this SPLEEN

up and steps high. II is proud of it's
standing and naughty when boasting. but
not without cause. People do not nave to
be coaxed to come here and make their
homes; when they have been here once
they long to return, and 1t has often
been said that none have ever moved away
but what they have II in their hearts to
return some time again.
People living in cities and In barren
towns and wanting an ideal place to visit
in the summer time. and who enjoy camp
life can find no finer spot on the globe than
right here in grand old Nance, whose capi-
tai is Fullerton and whose hospitality and
good fellowship Is as boundless as the sea-.

4 QUESTION OF ANNEsTr.

The president and cabinet have had
under consideration the question of
amnesty for American prisoners in
Cuba. After the Cuban government is
established there will be no ~pardoning
power under our constitution which
can avail to release these prisoners,
who were tried and convicted in courts
provided by the temporary American
government, and undoubtedly they
would be left to serve out their full SEN
fences, which it is thought would in
many cases result in death long before
the expiration Of the terms for which
they were sentenced.
The attention of the president was d.
rected to this matter through the APP
peal made in behalf Of Rathbone, con-
victed of embezzling postal funds in
Cuba, and whose friends are endeavor-
ing to secure for him executive elem
ency. OF course If anything should be
done for Rathbone the others convicted
of a like offense would have a just
claim to consideration. One proposition
is that all the American prisoners in
Cuba shall be granted amnesty during
their good behavior in the future, which
would of course mean their permanent
release. 1t is not easy to say how pub
lie opinion would regard such leniency
to these offenders. There has been no
feeling of sympathy for them here out
side the circle of their personal friends.
The general sentiment has been that
trayal Of the trust reposed In them,
was punished ESne too severely. The ef-
forts that have been made to secure
clemency for Rathbone, who was at the
head of the Cuban postal service, have
not been generally approved. 1t is very
questionable, therefore, whether Ameri-
can public sentiment would be found
favorable to amnesty to these prisoners,
unless their release should be entirely
satisfactory to the Cuban authorities.
Perhaps an arrangement might be made
with them to reduce the terms of i'm
prisonment say one-half, and to this
there could be no serious objection, but
their release now could not easily be
justified and it is improbable that the
administration will adopt the amnesty
proposition. In the case of Rathbone the
president has directed the secretary of
war to confer upon the Cuban court of
appeals the right to review the testi-
mony and this is probably as far as he
will go.

PRESIDENT AND THE CIVIL SERVICE

PRESIDENT AND THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Evasion and violation of the civil serv-
ice rules by President Roosevelt having
been alleged, Mr.. Foraker of the Civil
Service commission, than whom there is
no more earnest supporter of the merit
system, has published a statement that
is a complete denial of the charges made
and shows that the president has strictly
observed the civil service rules and reg
ulations. Mr.. Foulke says that the
president has not ordered a single place
taken out of the classified service and
has specifically exempted ten persons
only from the requirement of al exami-
nation, these cases being fully justified
by the circumstances.
Regarding a statement that civil serv-
ice supporters have had little to boast of
in the way of additions to the existing
rules tending to strengthen them since
the advent of President Roosevelt, the
civil service commissioner points out
that the president has placed in the
competitive service 1888 positions in the
War department and over 5000 places
In the rural free delivery service, "He
has amended the rules" writes Mr..
Foulke, $50 as to empower the com
mission to take testimony ip its in
vestigations. 10 hold up the salaries of
persons illegally appointed, to prevent
temporary appointments without exami-
nation when there are one or two eligl-
bles upon the list. TO enable the duties
of Indian agents 70 be performed by
superintendent appointed through the
CLASSIFIED service. to restrict transfers to
those places where the duties are SINH,
lar, 10 prevent reinstatements for the
mere purpose Of transfer, to forbid
transfers without examination from
places which have just become classified
and other rules of a similar character
Mr.. Foulke concludes his REPUTATION
Of The misstatements that have beer
made with the declaration that there
has been no administration since thu
adoption OF the civil service law II
which the competitive system has ad
vanced with greater rapidity and Ger
tainty during an equal period OF tim,
than in the administration OF Presiden'
Roosevelt. In a word. the presiden

SHOULD PEAasE BE RETAINEpi

Within the mex thirty days the school
board will have to decide whether Car
roll G. Pearse is to be retained as head
of the public schools of Omaha or
whether a new superintendent shall be
engaged who comes up to the measure
and standard Of Omaha's metropolitan
p%retensions. AS a body representing
the patrons of the public schools and the
taxpayers who support them, the board
should be impelled by only one motive,
and that to give Omaha the most eff
cient and competent school superin-
tendent who can be induced to accept
the position.
1t is not denied even by the most
ardent supporters Of Mr.. Pearse that he
is, in point of education, far below the
standard which prevailed in Omaha be-
fore his advent.
1t is a matter of ~notoriety that previ-
u to coming to Omaha he had never
occupied a position that paid more than
$1,000 a year.
1t is a matter of notoriety that he has
kept himself in the saddle by intrigue
and wire pulling and does not command
either the confidence or the respect of
the great majority of the teachers.
1t is a matter of notoriety that he is
closely Identified with the school book
trust, by whom he has been subsidized
under pretense Of writing a chapter for
q text book on geography.
1t is well known that his election
three years ago, after a majority of the
board had declared against him, was
procured through agencies that do not
work in broad daylight.
1t is an open secret that he has for
weeks been trying to secure another re-
election through pressure brought on
members of the school board by mem
bers of the clubs and promoters of en-
terprises with which he has identified
himself with the manifest object of
making them subservient to his ends
and ambitions. Members of the Com
mercial club and Ak-Sar-Ben, audito-
rum directors, club women and even
secret society associates have been dra.
gooned into his campaign and are i'm
portuning members of the school board
to perpetuate an incompetent superin-
tendent on the schools because he has
devoted time thai belongs to the schools
to all these outsid, interests and enter
prises.
Another potential factor Pearse has
called to his aid are the relatives Of ia
vored teachers who have been given I'M
earned preference because of their pull.
This in itself reflects most d~iscreditably
upon our school system and tends to de-
moralize 1t at its fountain head.
The question that members of the
school board must ask themselves is,
Shall these outside influences outweigh
their honest judgment and conviction as
to the duty they owe to the public
schools and the community at large?
VIII the board courageously meet the
issue and relieve Omaha's schools from
this incubus or will it temporlze and
shirk it's duty at the expense of the
children, who have only one chance in
a lifetime to secure an education?
VIII the present board deliberately
vote this inheritance to it's successors
and force the true friends of the public
schools to keep up the fight for another

der the decision Of the supreme court it
should make no difference with the
council In fixing the assessment of the
gas company whether it costs 80 cents

Of gas. The court has ordered the
council to make the assessment of the
franchise and personally on the basis
of the market value Of the stocks and
bonds, less the value Of the realty al
ready listed for taxation. If the COM
pany is making money or losing money
