The death angel has again visited
our community and taken from the
home Of Mr. F. NJ. Davis loving wife
and mother. Mrs. Davis was Hiss
Jane Marett, daughter of the late An
drew Marstt. She was born April 4th,
ls4s, joined the church at Beaverdam
at the early age of II. and was baptized
by the late Rev. Samuel Isbell. He
also performed the marriage ceremony
which united her to 5lr. F. NJ. Davis,
one of our most highly esteemed citi-
zens, and consecrated Christian gen.
tieman. From this union issued 8
ehildren-seven sons and two daugh-
ters-viz, Crayton. Clifton, Walter,
Cornelius, Mrs. Thomas Jsbell, Mrs.
Sarada Davis and Miles. Two Of the
sons died in infancy. Mre. Davis was
great sufferer in her last days, hav-
ing had severa. strokee of paralysis,
but like q true Christian she never
murmured or complained. Now there
ls night OF peaceful rest for the frail
body, but the resurrection morn will
soon bring that to an everlasting end.

TAKE THE SCHt

TAKE THE SCHOOLS OUT or POLIT CS.
Years ago The Bee advocated the ul-
vorce of school boards from politics by
the election of nOnpartisan Boards of
Education. BY nonpartisan boards The
Bee meant not the selection of half the
candidates from the ticket nominated
by one party and the other half from
the ticket of the opposing party, but
the nomination of candidates for the
school board independent Of all political
parties. On those lines several cam
paigns were fought, more or less sue
cessfully. Then came the frenzied anti
Catholic crusade that landed Carol G.
Pearse in the superintendency of the
school board and begot the most extrava-
giant and most inefficient succession of
Boards of Education Omaha has ever
been cursed with.
For the past few years our school gov
ernment has been gradually merging
from fanatical misgovernment to ra-
tiOnal business management. In the
main, the present board is a vast Inn
provement on it's predecessor, and most
Of its members merit commentator and
deserve to be retained in their places but
the spirit of partisanship must be elimin-
ated from school government before we
can hope to place our public schools on
the highest plane.
The endorsement of a school board
slate by the Fontanelle club, which is
notoriously organized for division of
political spoils, bodies no good to the
schools of Omaha. There is no good rea-
son why the school board should be
rafied for on political lines at political
reason why the citizens Of Omaha should
be forced to divide on strictly political
lines in the selection of candidates for
the next school board.
Friends of the public school system
want the best that Omaha can get with
the money at its disposal, and they do
not care what political or religious creed
candidates for the school board profess.
Sooner or later we hope TO see Omaha
emulating the example Of Toledo in en-
forcing nonpartisanship in the school
board In the city of Toledo all nOmina-
tions for the school board must be by
petition. No party nominations are
recognized or permitted on the official
ballot. The result is that the school di
rectors Of Toledo are chosen on their in
dividuaI merit and character, regardless
of what party they may affiliate with
As a consequence the Toledo schoO
board is out Of politics permanently
and the public schools of Toledo are
managed strictly on commercial and
educational lines.

The encyclical of the pope restoring the |
Gregorian chant in the service of the |
church and debarring women from the
choir lofts is by no means dead letter
as some have thought. Despite many at |
tempts to evade 1t and to apply It on the

ually making its way. The latest order
for its enforcement is that of Bishop Cane
vim Of the Pittsburg diocese, who insists
upon Its observance to the letter The
papal authority in this matter makes itself
gradually manifest, as no vital interest is
involved, but doubtless in time the church
will return to the monotonous though dig
nihed ritual song of Gregory's antipho-
narium. which the saint and CharlemaRne
succeeded in introducing more than / 900
years ago. The chanters however. will
have the advantage OF modern notation and

IN INELrENcE FnR PEACE.

There is threat Of famine in a CON
siderable portion Of the Russian empire.
From a number Of provinces the report
comes that the crops are almost n com
plete failure that the people are already
I'm great distress and that the situation
must inevitably grow worse. This con-
dition of affairs is measurably due to
the fact that the men in these provinces
available for military service are I'm the
army and the work Of agriculture having
been left to the aged and TO women has
necessarily not been adequately per-
formed Consequently hundreds of thou
sands of people in the interior of Russia
are facing the danger OF starvation and
it is doubtful If the government can
do much for their relief If the war should
be continued.
Whether or not this unfortunate sit
uation is having any effect upon the
czar and his advisers does not appear,
but 1t would seem that it cannot fail to
intensity the popular sentiment in favor
Of peace-a sentiment which there is
every reason to believe is widespread.
1t appears impossible that the people
who are persistent in urging reforms in
the government and want peace as a
preliminary condition to the carrying out
Of the policies which they demand, will
overlook the unhappy condition Of a
large number of their countrymen and
neglect to make a point of this in the
agitation they are prosecuting. More
over. when the condition becomes more
widely known to the Russian people 1t
will in all probability very greatly
strengthen the already extended senti-
ment in behalf of ending a war which
has been enormously destructive and a
continuance Of which can only result in
Increased disaster to the nation and en-
ormous suffering to the masses of the
people.
The internal conditions in Russia at
present are undoubtedly far worse than
is indicated by any information that
comes from that country and their In
fiuences for peace must he very strong.
