much or little Of acting as they
please. But a church is to be built
as a companion edifice. which sug-
gests that all actors are no. iudiffcr-
ent TO what some OF their critics call
the finer things OF lie.
II would not be hard TO make both
these institutions models of what the
church and the theater ought and
originally we're intended to be.
Where the stage has fallen below
that standard of noble purpose is
where the oyerbalancing weight ei
commercislism has borne il down.
OF course. this has been due largely
to the attempt OF the theater to re-
spond to the varying shades OF pub
lie demand. But even In this day
there should be a wide field fer the
theater that will hold TO the higher
ethics and seek to instruct and ele-
yate as we'll as merely umuse or en-

The Indians Education.

The federal government is APP
pyopTiating annually something like
sS 100000 for its Indian wards. for
their education and general uplift.
OF this amount s1.450.000 goes to
maiatain schools on reservations and
si.eti.e05 for schools not on reser-
vatlons. including Haskell. Carlisle
and other larger institutions with
out deprecating or disparaging the
value OF these great schools, We be-
lieye the Indians best interests are
TO be chiefly promoted by increasing
the educational facilities OF the re-
ssrvation. as is contemplated in u
bin now before congress.
The reservation Is the home of the
Indian. He can be educated there
niore conveniently to him and with
less expense to the government than
at one of the distant schools. The
schools on the reservation contribute
vastly to the amelioration of the
commnnity life there. improving
moral as well as intellectual stand
ards, and deepening the Indians
sense o. responsibility. They stand
as constant reminders TO him OF his
integral part in the life OF the nation.
as living guaranty OF the govern
ment's active interest in him and It's
promise to do well by him.
The government has $4,000 young
Indians In Its schools all told. at
present and paid out for their educa-
tlon In the last fiscal year more than
81. 500. 900. which is regarded as too
much. or. at least. those who have
some into the matter are convinced
that as good results could be OBJ
tained for much less money n the
schools were brought nearer TO the
Indian on the reservation. Another
very potent argument in favor o: the
reservation school, as contrasted
with a non-reseryation school, Is
its greater advantage In cultiysting
home life. a very important thing

Invest at Home.

The suggestion from the CONNER

Omaha money should sink deep into
the minds OF Omaha citizens. Just

ported from local repositories. local
enterprises ought to have first con-
sideration. N the projects pending
here can be made successful at all.
they surely win be more attractive
to home investors than TO outside
capitalists.
That Omaha is good manufac-
turing point Is conelusively proven.
Figures from the United States cen
sus, published IN The Bee. may be
offered In support OF this; but the
better proof Is the fact that new fac
tories are coming here steadily from
other points. II outsiders have faith
in Omaha as a place to build facto-
ries, local investors should not be
afraid 10 venture their money In the
Development Of the city's industries.
And Omaha ought to thrive on

OMAHA. April $40 the Editor Of The
Bee: l read an article about Mrs. De
Cou wanting a masterful man for ius-
band, and becoming so dissatisfied that
she obtained a divorce because he did not
beat her. Now. Of course. do not think
anyone will take such statements seri-
ousiy.
Nsitehe's remarks and that old Cock
ney joke Is kept alive still by unthinking
men, and men who wish TO have their
wives in submission and failing in that
as ali men must. they try to satisfy
themselves by making such quotations.
IL there is grain Of truth in these re-
marks. however. they would apply as
readily to the treatments OF husbands
as well as wives. and probably more so
as we have but to scan the papers and
read Of some man who left good and
devoted wife to become the slave OF some
silly. befrilIed creature who treats him
very indifferently.
OF course. We ALI know that true love
gives all and exacts nothing In return
But II IL not classified as TO sex, and to
deprive man Of the Joys OF self-sacrlflca
would be very wrong. A woman who felt
as Mrs. DeCou Is said TO have felt GER
talniy abnormal; however. We only have
the statements Of her divorced husband
in regard to the matter. who prorably
writes TO justify himself, as there is no
man or woman living who have not
faults enough to make life interesting for
their partner. without cultivating faults
l<indess viii beget love, and entire sub
