FApS IN THE SCHOOLS.

The Board of Education has acted
wisely in turning down the proposition
to equip the Omaha public schools
with a numerous corps Of medical In
structors, whose time should be de-
voted to the care of the children at
tending school in the city. While the
reason assigned is one of sufficient
weight to justify the action at present,
there is back of the objection a still
more potent reason, and n of such
gravity as to challenge careful consid-
Grafton at present.
The complaint has been made dur
ing a number of years that the public
schools of the country were tending
too much toward fads and fadism and
getting away from the practical pur-
poses for which the schools were in
stituted and are maintained. The
idea of education at public expense is
to train the children for the duties of
citizenship, and in this the cost of
maintaining the school is merely an
investment in the interest Of good
government. This simple proposition
has been twisted to support the intro
duction of a number of experiments
along the line of public education.
Some of these experiments have
proven merely expensive, while others
have shown themselves to be of doubt
full, If any, value. The cost, however,
has been met from the public Golfers
in each instance. While the health
of the children attending the public
schools is a matter of concern to the
people at large, it is a duty that de-
wolves more on the parents than on
the public to see that their children
are properly cared for.
The proposition just rejected by the
School board would reverse the nor
NAL relations between the schools and
the patrons and would shift onto the
public responsibility that properly be-
longs with the parents. The state has
already accepted a great deal too
much in the way of making provision
for the individual. 1t is not merely
conservative, but 1t is also wise and
prudent, that a check be placed on the
alleged progress that merely amounts
to a substitution of state for individ-
ual responsibility.

contains a shrewd bid for the support

Rheumatism Caused
By Dyspepsia
So Claim Many Eminent Doctors Upon
Recent Scientific Investigation.

Recent Scientific Investigation.
A large school of physicians which is
constantly increasing. claims that the
eating of too much animal food creates
an over supply of proteids, which are
composed of carbon. hydrogen. nitrogen
oxygen and sulphur, and that when such
proteids are imperfectly digested and go
into the blood they create vast quantities
OF nitrogen which the oxygen from the
lungs cannot neutraliEe and hence results,
uric acid and rheumatism and scores Of
other diseases.
These proteids do not permit the as
Sanitation process to take place properly
and poisoning results all through the
blood.
However, If such proteids are perfectly
digested they form a most valuable part
OF our food and are absolutely necessary
to life.
The fault then rests with the stomach
and the disestive apparatus.
Hence itds claimed by these latter day
authorities that rheumatism arises In the
stomach or through the stomach ana not

An Interesting Field for Exercise Of

Arkansas Gazette.
There will be general interest IN the
Oklahoma income tax. This tax will not
be collected until next year. so the test
mas not come yet. AS soon as O~klabomans
who have a good share of this worlds
goods are called on for the income tax
there may be things doing.
This law provides that all incomes in
excess OF $500 a year, derived from sala.
RES tees' trades, professions or property
upon which a gross revenue or excise tax
has not been paid, shall pay a tax ranging
from D mills on the dollar OF income from
$500 to 5000, to 33h mills on the dollar ON
all gross Incomes of more than 100000.
Thus a man with an income of g. 900 will
pay an income tax OF $3.50. Plutocrats
who are so careless as to permit their in
Genes to go over 100000 a year or are so
careless as to permit that fact to get to
the tax gatherer will pay more than Sss3. 30

The income tax is hard to collect. and.
we believe, Is not levied by any nation Of
the world save as a result of absolute
necessity. The Boer war made the British

THE NATIONS EXPENSE ACCOUNT

The annual report of Charles II.
Treat, treasurer of the United States,
shows that the treasury deficit on
June 80 last was $5S~,0T0,021, as
against a surplus of ~$S4,2S6,586 for
the preceding year. Mr.. Treat has
nothing to do with the making of laws
or the spending of money, except to
keep track of the receipts as they
come in and pay the bills authorized
and ordered by congress. He explains
that the deficit for last year was not
due so much to decreased receipts as
to increased expenditures. While bust
ness increased for the fiscal year end
ing in June, 1908, the congressional
appropriations were larger than ever
before.
Mr.. Treats report will serve to call
renewed attention to the question of
revenues, the most important problem
that will have to be met by the con-
gress that comes into existence next
March. The receipts of the govern
ment even during the period of de
preston show an actual increase over
former records. This increase may be
expected to continue, as the nations
foreign and domestic trade is devel-
oped, but no increase from customs
and internal revenue will be suffi-
cient to meet the increased drains
upon the treasury for governmental
purposes. The problem to be settled
by Mr.. Taft's administration will be
to either provide a new source of fed
eral revenue or adopt some method of
reducing federal expenses. Difficulty
will attend efforts in either direction.
The demand for extension of the gov
eminent policies in many directions,
in public buildings, in river and har-
Dor improvements, in forest preserva-
ton, in irrigation and AL along the
line is persistent and almost impossi-
| BILE to resist. No congress has ever
shown a niggardly disposition with
the public funds and the people have
never really protested against federal
expenses, except in the curse of polit-
ical campaigns. 1t will require states

variety to determine where the reduc-
lions shall be made, If a policy of re-
t%renchment is decided upon. 1t cannot

RE FORMING THE LORDS.

The committee of the British House
of Lords on the reform of that body
has made a report on the demand
that has been growing in the British
empire for a change in the Lords that
would make that body more respon-

people. The House OF Commons has
openly advocated that the House OF
Lords be abolished or radically re-
vised. The Lords have hardened to
the demand for revision, but, like
some tariff agitation In another coun-
try, they propose to have the revision
done by their friends.
The report OF the committee sug.
gests that a House OF about $50 mem
beers be created, of which 200 shall be
elected from the peerage by the body
of peers; $50 to service by right Of
