School Board Finances.

Irrespective OF bookkeeping tech
nicalities. behind which refuge Ia
taken. the disclosure Of overdrawn
school board accounts will serve a
good purpose in directing attention
to the need OF putting the brakes on
expenditure Of school funds.
The fact is that the outlay OF
money by the school board has In
recent years Increased altogether dis
proportionately to the growth Of
school attendance, and the per capita
OF public school instruction has
reached the top notch of the high
cost of living scale. Whether this re-
suit has been produced more by one
thing or another. II is less striking
than that the grand total Of expend-
lures has outrun the revenues and
the legal safeguards designed TO
prevent this condition has proved In
effective.
The Bee has several times endeav-
ored to sound note OF caution on
the financial management OF the
school board. There Is no use crying
over spilled milk. but the need OF
drawing the line on over-expansion
and new fads. and OF enforcing strict
economy within the field already oc-
cupied Is more urgent now than II
has been for a long time. The claims
OF the school children and OF the
teaching force should always be fairly
considered. but without overlooking
the burden which rests on the tax
payers who support the schools and
have TO furnish the money to foot
the bills and pay off the bonded debt.

The Egg and the Hen.

According to the very best author
ity. this high price of eggs Is all a
matter OF scientific poultry raising.
When people treat their hens as they
deserve to be treated and set into
the minutia OF intensive chicken cul-
ture. there will be no 50-cents-a-
dozen-for-eggs problem, because
there will be no scarcity OF eggs.
For authority. all egg consumers
are respectfully directed TO the es-
teemed Farm and Fireside. the egg
editor Of which unhesitatingly de-
clares this to be the true explanation.
He goes further into the question and
says that too much is expected of the
hen; that when she is feathering she
cannot lay eggs abundantly. She
needs certain amount Of vitality
and cannot meet the drain on her VI
tally to lay an egg every. day during
the season that she Is putting forth
her new coat Of feathers. Now, the
remedy Is for poultry people to read
Just their schedules Of Matching
chicks, also open their bounties to
all the wholesome feed the chickens
can eat, never skimping them II they
are expected to lay eggs; pullets
Matched In April will make good lay
ers in November IL properly fed.
AS a matter Of serious fact. this Is
doubtless good advice. II the
abnormally high price of eggs Is due
to the incorrect way of handling
hens. 1t assures US that there Is no
intricate fictitious problem involved.
II should be a simple thing to feed q
chicken all II wants to eat. If the
egg market can be so readily read
justed. then by all means. let us &c,

Gratis. who we're likewise skating

II is not to be assumed, however,
that the people want their executive
officers to become mere clerks sitting
at a desk so many hours day. To
perform their duties properly they
must keep In touch with the people
as a whole. and familiarise them
selves by personal inspection and OBJ
seryation with the state institutions,

II is only excessive neglect of pub

A Fine Family Row.

How the so-called Money trust
must quake and tremble at the
thought of being investigated under
conditions presaging that ordeal.
Congressman Henry of Texas insisted
upon a special committee to conduct
the inquiry, but Chairman Under
wood. Speaker Clark and others. pre-
ferred TO commit the work to the
standing committees and the house
so voted.
It is recorded as pitched battle
between the Bryan and anti-Bryan
forces in the party, with the ants
winning. The intimation Of Mr..
Henry, and the natural inference, is
such as to put Speaker Clark and
Chairman Underwood in the unfavor-
able light OF opposing and seeking to
obstruct a free and unbiased inyesti-
CATION, an investigation that will
really come to any serious revelation
Of ugly facts.
The committee that will have this
Job In hand consists Of twenty-one
members. fourteen democrats and
seven republicans, and all but four of
the fourteen democrats are Of simon
pure southern stock. Yet Mr.. Henry.
and. 1t is said. Mr.. Bryan, hesitate to
ontrust this work to them, evidently
fearful OF a whitewash. And the
Bryan men cite the opinion of others
to sustain their own position. For
instance. former Congressman
Charles n. Fowler Of New Jersey
wired to Mr.. Henry, at will be a
crime against the American people
not to pass your resolution" Yet
this crime" was promptly CON-
mitted.
A wider breach between Bryan and
Underwood and Clark may be looked
for as a result OF this skirmish. Con-
gresham Henry denied that he- was
inspired by Colonel Bryan, but the
contrary belief obtains. Just the same.
and not without evidence to justify
It. Whatever the outcome. Chairman
Underwood may expect the Bryan OPP
positio INTO come down upon him
stronger than ever In his presidential
aspirations. lie may expect to be
classed as the right arm of Old Money
Bags. and It will be up to him to
meet the charge. All Of which shows
how indissolubly compact and united
are the forces OF democracy.

The Trail of the Defense Fund.

Reputable union labor men must
now realize the hazard they took in
raising s225,00O for the defense of

money was being contributed
friendly warnings were uttered
against gathering too lavish a fund.
which would certainly involve poten-
tial evils OF a grave character. 1t
was more than once pointed out that
only such amount as would be
needed to defray reasonable and
Legitimate fees and expenses at the
trial should be donated. But such
advice or suggestions only tended to
irritate many Of the leading union
men, who allowed their sympathy to

to be called on to explain its DISPOSE
ton. No need to impute dishonesty
to any federation officer to see that.
Secretary Morrison is prompt to ex-
plain all disbursements. and, grant
Ing full credence to his word. the
fact yet remains that out in Los
Angeles some of this money was OBJ
viously and admittedly spent for un-
lawful purposes. Without so prodigal
fund the charges Of jury bribing
would not have found so easy accept
ance, nor would those engaged In the
defense fall SO quickly under sus-
picion.
After all. some good lessons have
been learned from this astounding
case. and IL so. perhaps the price
paid In money is not exorbitant.
