Cam They over.Ride the vetol

As was naturally to have been expected,
strenuous efforts are we'll under way to line up
enough votes to put the literacy immigration bill
across over the presidents veto, On final pas
sage in each house, the bill had more than tho
necessary two-thrds to meet the constitutional
requirements for this purpose, but there is no
certainty OF holding this support--in fact, the
veto of any bill is supposed to create a presump-
ton against It, and compel every one who
favored Il originally 10 reconsider and ascertain
whether his impelling reasons still hold good.
When the similar bill with the same oh
noxious lteracy test was vetoed by the preceding
occupant OF the White House. the same bluff
and bluster was heard about overriding the veto
obstacle, but Il was soon found TO be mucn
easier said than done. Failure to count tho
requisite number OF supporters left 1t hanging,

Postal Savings and the Schools.

bulletin Of the national bureau OF educa-
ton calls attention 20 the fact that a million
and a quarter dollars Is on deposit in the
school savings banks Of this country distributed
among 217,000 pupils, who thereby learn les
sons OF thrift for use in later life. Practically all
of these savings accounts arc in private banks
or financial institutions that have established
OF contested up with. machinery FOR gathering
tho school children's savings. The bulletin re
forred to suggosts that there can be a stimu-
Iating relation between the schools and the gov
eminent postal eavings system, which even now
accepts as deposiors any person over 10 years

Food for Thought for the Street Railway.

Food for Thought for the Street Railway
Following up the note OF warning sounded
by The Bee for the rate raising railroads, let We
suggest that our street railway management can
find food for thought II they will observe cur
rent conditions in Omaha and listen 70 the tals
INDUCED in by the passengers on their cars.
Let the street railway people ask themselves,
Why is IL that the prospect Of jitney bus lines
arouses such a welcoming chores. regardless
whether the scheme may be practicable or prot
table?
Grant that the street railway service in
Omaha is in many respects excellent, and tho
management notably progressive along certain
lines. Concede that the successive demand for
extensions into new territory have been cheer
fully met sometimes before fully warranted
Admit that the cars are for the most part nov,
ioomy. fairly clean, up-to-date well heated in
the winter time, If not always properly ven
tiiatcd. Agree that the motormen and conduc-
tors are we'll paid, efficient and accommodating
within the rules which they are required to OBJ
serve. But still there is lurking dissatisfac-
ton which stimulates the hope OF relief through
another transportation system.
Is this dissatisfaction, and its causes, ir.
remediable. or are there some improvements
which could be provided?
The common complaints, it Is true, 90
largely TO the amount of street railway service
at hours of traffic congestion and the relief. il
possible, must come from putting on additional
cars or rearranglng the hours to conform with
changing demands.
IL It necessary to compel people to stand Ell
street corners in below-zero weather and watch
from two 90 four overloaded cars pass them up
without even stopping?
Is Il necessary TO compel passengers when
they finally squeeze on, to stand the steps, or
be wedged against an iron railing, or nang from
strap, as the only alternatives to walking?
II this congestion cannot be avoided in the
carly evening hour. why must It be repeated at
the time when people are going home from the
theaters and amusement places, when other
cities have theater car service.
Again, why should not the street railway
time table be made to III in better with the time
tables OF the railroads, so as to carry incoming
travellers from the station to their homes, or to
hotels, when they arrive?
We do not believe the people OF Omaha as
a whole are specially hostile to the street rail-
way company or over-exacting. AS rule they
realize the difficulties besetting the company,
and appreciate efforts at relief, whether they ac-
complish all that is desired or not. We say
this, however that II the street railway people
have their eyes open, they will at least make
try to give greater satisfaction without waiting
for complaints 10 accumulate into an upheaval
