An Oakland Idea-why Not for Omaha, !

without pretending TO expert opinion In
matters OF police administration, the report
made to the national association by the chief Of
police OF Oakland on the excellent results oh
tanned by the use of the automobile for police
patrol work commends itself to us as suggesting
a practical solution OF some or omaha's perplex-
ing police problems We take II that II the
policeman In Oakland patrols his beat in an
auto he goes about in a low-priced car which
he must drive himself. Experience here aad
elsewhere with the motorcycle seems 70 US to
make II preferable for this purpose. as com
pared with the auto, the motorcycle is equally
eontrolable, cheaper in cost-price and operation,
and adaptable to roRdways on which autos are
barred.
We are about to annex 10 Omaha a broad
expanse OF suburban territory with comparatively
sparse population. Why would not the organ
ization Of a motorcycle patrol squad OF a dozen
or fifteen men enable the police department to
cover the entire area in a fairly satisfactory
manner Such service are sure would be
appreciated by the people OF the residence dis
tricts, and could be supplied without any large
increase In the force, and therefore within the
means available from the police funds Success
OF motorcycle patrol would in all probability
hasten the time when the policemen walking
beat would disappear completely except pos
sibly in the downtown business district.

Mine or Torpedo 2

II really doesn't matter much TO a merchant
ship whether It gets hit by torpedo OF collides
with a mine, but to the government Of the
United States the difference is considerable. At
Washington consideration is now being given
to four cases in which ships have been sunk or
damaged in the war zone. the central fact being
that no one is really certain II these vessels
we're injured by torpedo or mine. or which %
the belligerents is responsible. The wide dis
tribution Of floating mines and submarines at
present makes navigation in the waters ada
cent TO the British Isles an exciting we'll as
uncertain venture. Mariners and diplomats find
their natural perplexity in the situation greatly
enhanced by reason Of the difficulty in dectd-
ing to whom to make complaint, while the pro-.
test Is unavailing when responsibility is so
easily evaded. But ship owners will take the
risk II the reward be sufficiently tempting.

Says Whole school system Wrong.
NORTH LOUP, Neb., May H.-To the
Editor Of Tho Bee: We have Listened to
the siren sounds Of the school arguments
for many months. and now we are adj
vised that the people have won out and
our rural school patrons are TO become
the head cheese. We win spend four or
five years in the business of establishing
districts and buildings to conform to a
curriculum made by the state university
for the single purpose OF drawing thou
sands OF people TO the educational centers
where each pupil must be at thousands
Of dollars expense In order to graduate.
The whole hobby seems to be the ninta
and tenth grades In the rural schools.

should determine what we shall study
and teach? II IL an institution COM
posed OF professors, in large part. who
are peddied out from eastern colleges. II

" sHoHoeay. Inc nlkfer education which
our school lobby calls free" is not free
AZ all. The fact Is that our educational
institutions ars so formed that ninety
nine boys and girls must work while the
hundredth goes to school. That Is. one
boy goes to school from the ages Of 5
to @ while the ninety ana nine pay his
schooling. We have a lot OF institutions
OF higher education which are good. and
those schools should he encouraged. They
are all rtght ana they should handle

cares to study from the ages OF 20 IS.
why ask other people to pay the bills?
He should pay HIS own way. The school
subject In this state Is not settled by a
long way and will not be settled until
the taxes which the public pays for
schools is so expended in educational in
stitutions that the ninety and nine share
equally in the benefits. There Is not a
politician In our state today who has
chance Of election II he strongly defends
the principles OF our higher education.
To say nothing of the incompetence
growing out OF the system, the principles
involved In the way OF subsidies and

Bee: In an article by Theodore Roose-
welt. reprinted in The Bee. that writer
quotes q rely from the secretary Of
state In regard 10 the nationality OF a
gentleman from New Orleans.
To show the absurdity OF the state
departments answer Mr.. Roosevelt mem
tons a number Of well-known Ameri-
cans who would be subjected TO military
duty. should they venture over the border
Of the country in which their fathers
were born.
believe the colonel is in error when he
says: III the sons of Jacob Riis went
to Denmark. they could be retained in
the Danish forces"
have II on good authority that the
late Jacob A. Rils was an American
citizen before any OF his sons were born,
thus eliminating any similarity to the
case OF the gentlemen from New Orleans.
It seems a bit careless on the part OF
Mr.. Roosevelt 10 draw an errorneous
parallel considering that he Is writing
for multitude and. as have gathered
from headlines of the past, at a COM
handing figure per word.
The case in point Is one Of few rare
ones, and all authorities on international
relations agree that they can't be fixed
The gentleman from New Orleans is an
American when in America only. and
there is no one TO blame except his hon
orable father, who neglected to establish
the citizenship OF his offspring interna-
honally. Referring to the blunder pointed
out above doubt IL any Of the examples
in Mr.. Roosevelts article will bear in
