During the recent campaign the
republican state committee uncovered
the fact that railway passes were being
offered to students and others at the
state university, provided they would
agree TO go home and vote the demo-
cratic ticket. This was adduced noJ
only to expose the vicious practice,
but also to support the charge, based
on the tell-tale letter of Chairman
Allen taking up the railroad side OF
the terminal taxation question, that
the railroads and the democrats were
working in close alliance.
Instead Of denying the alleged dis
tribution of passes, the democratic
campaign managers, and more partic-
ularly the World-Herald as the demo-
cratic organ, undertook to denounce
the intercepted pass as a forgery
going into considerable detail as to
how an old discarded pass form had
been filed out and the year date, 1900,
moved up to 1906, on Photographic
reproduction. vi NOul SC Jlllo was AiAA
possible, as every railroad man knew,
and as an examination of the face OF
the pass would quickly have proven
to any intelligent person.
Just to show the good faith of the
republicans and the bad faith of the
opposition, the original of the Gallo
way pass has been procured and is
now on exhibition in the Farnam
street window of The Bees business
office, where every one who wishes
may examine it and make sure that
there is nothing in the nature of a
forgery about it. The campaign is
over to be sure, but other campaigns
are coming in the future and it is well
to close this incident now by effectually
puncturng the forgery roorback
raised by the democrats.

The joint conference of the legisla-
tive board of the American Bankers
association and of the representatives
of the New York Chamber Of Com
merce, by agreeing on the general
proposition for such change of the ma.
tional bank laws as will permit banks
to issue credit currency of their own,
takes a step in advance, but a step
far from conclusive. 1t may be effec-
tive so far as to raise the question
for real discussion among bankers as
a class, and, what is even more i'm
portant, among those outside of the
banking business who will largely in
fluence public opinion, but hardly so
far as 70 control congressional action
at the coming short session, unless it
gives a more powerful impulse to pub

considered as a class apart, although
! it marks some progress when such a
representative body can be brought to

of judgment appeared at the recent

thus remains to be seen how far their

OF the many manifestations Of republican
prosperity. On December the increa Sc

new share in the prosperity.
We hear much about the increase in
cost Of living which has taken place i'm

marked in many lines. But wages, for the

The announcement is made that the
State Board of Educational Lands and
Funds has just invested 100000
more in Mississippi state bonds to net
the school fund a fraction over 81
per cent why money belonging to
the public schools of Nebraska should
be sent to Mississippi, to he loaned at
rates Of interest less than what our
own school districts are paying on
money borrowed TO erect school houses
in Nebraska will strike the man Of
ordinary business sense peculiarly.
The reason is that our state con-
stitution prohibits the investment OF
the school money in anything except
United States and state securities and
bonds of Nebraska counties. Having
taken up all of our own obligations
that are available, it becomes neces-
sary to seek bonds of other states, and
the only states now issuing bonds are
those like Mississippi and Montana,
that would otherwise find more or
less difficulty in floating their paper
at low rates.
This system of handling the state
school fund is costing the school chill
dren Of Nebraska thousands OF dol
lars every year. 1t is high time that
the limitation on investment be eX-
banded to include the bonds of our
own school districts and of our own
municipalities, with proper safeguards
against defalcation on interest or prin-
cipal

SECRETARY MErcALrs FINDINGS

SECRETARY METCALFS FINDINGS.
II, as a result of Secretary Metcalfs
mission to San Francisco, he can
formulate no cure-all for the Japanese
complaint, he is able, according to
verified reports of his unofficial state
ments, to define clearly the material
difficulties of the problem. In the first
place the secretary is satisfied that as
a constitutional and legal matter the
restriction of Japanese children to
specified public schools, separate from
white children, is a violation of treaties
between the United States and Japan.
In short, he will report to the presi-
dent that the point raised by the Jap
anese government is we'll taken and
that the action of the San Francisco
local authorities constitute a substan-
tial violation OF our international OBJ
legations.
Secretary Metcalfs conclusion gives
Ooint to his finding as TO the facts, to
the effect that the virtually unanimous
sentiment in San Francisco and also
in California is positively opposed to
the free intermingling of children of
Asiatic parentage with white children
/ in the public schools, so that the action
Of the school authorities. is not merely
