World Growing
Better Each Day
Rabbi ]. Leonard Levy Compares Past
with Present as Guide to What
Future Holds.

distance lends enchantment TO the view
tiful, and through every beautiful hope tho
future looks beautiful as well. but, not
withstanding, today is the best day that
has ever dawned since time began" said
Rev. ]. Leonard Levy Of Pttsburg. in a
lecture at Temple Israel last evening. The
rabbi spoke on Marching On" and showed
that the world is much better today in
every respect than it was yesterday or
several thousand yesterdays back.
That humanity is marching on" was
shown by the rabbi to be the case politi-
cally. socially, economically and r%eiigiOusly.
He compared political conditions OF today
with those OF the days Of Nero and the
Tartar slave drivers; the moral conditions
with those times when women were en-
shaved and children had no rights before
the law; the economical conditions with the
long centuries when the lords and barons
ovcrtaxed the working men; and the religi-
Gus conditions to the dark ages when men
with convictions were burned at the stake
and compelled TO suffer the tortues Of the
inquisition.
Looking at the past can any man say
that he world Is no marching on? To say
that IL is not. Is TO confess lunacy. But to
say that the world will not be better is 10
reject the uplifting tendencies OF the past,

OMAHA, March 1o-To the Editor Of The

minds OF the taxpayers Of Omaha at this
moment is. are the eastern capitalists and
Wall street spectators going to succeed
in unloading their SO. 800 900 water works
on this city at 81. 1858, 295, and is the Water
board going to fall into line and help to
consummate this outrageous deal whereby
these spectators will be enabled to clear
up a clean 100000 of the taxpayers
money? How much longer are the tax
payers Of this city going to stand for this
kind OF bungling work? This misrepresent-
ing, laundering Water board has been
given too much latitude already. What has
it done to show for the taxpayers money
It has already squandered? 1t is about
time the taxpayers of this city woke up
and stopped this foolishness.

of Los Angeles
Quits Under Fire
Executive of California City Resigns
and Withdraws as Candidate
in Recall Election.

Los ANGELES, Cal, March 12.-Mayor
A. c. Harper resigned tonight. lie de-
clined to explain.
The mayor has beer a candidate for re-
election at a special election called for
March 26 under the recall clause of the
city charter. lie had been recalled from
office by a petition signed by 10000
voters because Of various allegations of
misconduct made against him.
Following his resignation. Mayor Harper
announced that he would withdraw as a
candidate for reelection. This created
even more surprise than the resignation
coming in the heat of the campaign.
II follows closely the resignation OF
Edward Kern as a member of the
Board OF Public Works, who's appoint
ment by Mayor Harper. was given by the
opponents of the mayor as the principal
reason of the recall. For several months
two leading Los Angeles newspapers
have been charging that Mayor Harper
has permitted vice of all kinds to be pro-
tected and making other accusations.
In an extra edition of an afternoon pa
per there appeared a letter written by
the mayor to the manager of the paper.
1t said:
In fulfillment of my obligation entered
a arSw " my name nan from Pphe ballot in The
present recall election whenever you de-
manded that l should do so, l hereby

Oppoaed TO Pensions.

OMAHA, March 10.-To the Editor of The
The Bee: ! see there is agitation looking
to the pensioning of Omaha teachers.
Now, who are teachers? Simply United
States citizens. What have they done that
they should be pensioned any more than
other United States citizens? Have they
risked life or limb in the service of the
country or the public? Not at all. Have
they had an extra hard time compared
with other citizens? Small wages? No,
they have earned as a class much more
than the ordinary citizen, probably double
what they. with few exceptions, could have
earned outside of their vocation.
Has their wages and work been uncer-
tain? Not In the least. In good times they
have been quite apt to get their wages
raised. In hard times have they been
sent adrift or had their wages cut down as
many, very many, other citizens have suf-
fered in such times? Not in the least.
Have their hours of labor been long daily?
Far from IT.; shorter than other citizens
hours of labor, with a Saturday holiday
thrown in and several vacations, some
right long ones. Now. why should they
be p~ensioned in their old age? Ordinary
citizens are obliged on much less earnings
and steadiness of work, by self-denial and
economy to provide for their old age. why
this exception? Where is the justice of it?
Simply because they have been paid for
their work by the public? Then 1T us
all, IL possible, get some public employ
ment, as the writer would try TO II he was
a young man again with his present knowl-
edge.
AS ex-Secretary of the United states
Treasury Shaw told the government clerk.
They got twice as much for the work
they did as they could get for doing the
same work for outsiders" And these
clerks are constantly working their con-
gressmen for more pay and are now
agitating that the government retire them
on pensions. II this class legislation con-
tinues, It will be so about everyone will
struggle to get government employment II

thing but hard Steady employment, sure
pay, know just what they can depend on,

And then the injustice OF turning around
and pensioning such fortunate ones. The
men who vote for such doings are spend
ing other peoples money. There isn't one
out of a thousand Of them that would do
such a thing for their employees out
OF their own pocket. Bryan ranted long
and loud about class legislation. Yet the
democratic Nebraska legislature has
passed. or is about 20 pass. a law to allow
Omaha TO enact class legislation. Such
unjust legislation, II persisted in. will, and

Visits the Haunts Of Childhood.

MIR. w. II. Frazier, of Bakersfield, Cal
~ifornia, as good a man as has ever gone
out from this County, is visiting the scenes
of his boyhood days here in old Abbeville.
He bears in his countenance the evidence
Of high character, that art cannot assume.
He bears as we'll the evidence Of prosperity
in the material things Of earth.
Mr.. Frazier is a graduate OF the Lethe
School, and, like all true men, he has a
warn place in his heart for the associa-
tions of his boyhood.
He remembers with evident pleasure the
names Of his associates while at Lethe,
one of whom was Mr.. T. G. CASTOR, now
living q few miles east of this city. These
old men, for a stime, were boys again, as
when they turned the squirrel for each
other in the Lethe woods. He went to
Lethe in.1s56, when he was twelve years OF
age, and remained there four years.
OF the many boys who have gone out
from Lethe, and whose lives bear testi-
mony to the beneficial and elevating in
luence Of that institution, of none can 1t
be said that Lethe has reason to be more
proud than Of Mr.. Frazier. And Abbeville
is now proud Of her former unknown
orphan boy, who has developed into noble
manhood.
1t is perhaps not giving away a conf
dence to say that Mr.. Frazier has been
looking up some of his old associates with
a view to having them join him in some
thing for Lethe in a substantial and per-
manent way.

"The Lion and the Mouse" which
Henry B. Harris will present at the
Opera House soon is the finest play to
be based on frenzied finance conditions
and its timely theme has much to do
with its sensational success, because of
the public insisting in identifying the
lion with one of Americas money ba-
rons the play has attracted widespread
comment from newspapers and maya
zines all over the country.
1.-THE Lion and the Mouse" is more
like the great American play for which
the public has been waiting than any
piece that has been seen on the stage
for many years. 1t goes without say
ing that it is the greatest theatrical
value ever offered and any American
who has his country's welfare at heart
should gee this interesting drama.
