Military Drill in schools.

The Chicago Tribune has Just completed a
poll Of the patrons Of the public schools OF Chi

the parents are favorable to the system of mill
tary drill in the public schools. This will not be

tenn. who are thoroughly welded 10 the idea that
anything that might in the remotest sense be
connected with or useful in the pursuit Of war

institutions. The continuance Of the republic
does not perhaps. depend entirely on its fighting
qualities but the ability of its citizens to defend
themselves and their institutions is factor that
viii have tremendous weight in determining the
perpetuity OF our freedom. Aside from this
however, military drill in the public schools has
distinct advantages which are recognized by all
who have given the matter serious thought. The
lessons OF discipline, as we'll the physical train
ing received by the boys are servieeable to them
throughout their lives. no matter how placid the
stream into which they flow. The preponderanee
OF sentiment expressed in Chicago in favor OF
military drill in public schools doubtless exists
generally throughout the country.

Sanotitv Of the Oath.


Judge Troup. in his address to the State Bar
association, dwelt upon a startling fact--that dis
regard for the oath taken by witnesses. which
means perjury. is 80 common In our courts to-
day as to be almost the rule rather than the ex-
ception. He especially called attention to the
flippancy with which the oath is administered to
and taken by the witness. This sad truth has
been known to bench and bar alike for years,
steadily growing untfl It has reached the point
where the solemnity and sanctity Of the oath has
seemingly vanished. The remedy. however, is
yet within the hands of the judges II ls within
their province to require that the oath be prop
erly administered and thoughtfully taken by
each witness, and that its sanctity be understood
by ALL Attorneys do not directly encourage per-
jury. even though they may profit by it, but
they are not prone to insist upon the rigid re-
gard by witnesses for "the truth the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth" II the courts are to
resume and retain their high place in our life.
and the lawyers are to be restored to the conf
dence OF the people. 1t will be after vigorous
efforts have been made to eradicate perjury and
re-establish the sanctity of the oath.

So easy to settle his cares;
SO easy to tell him what road to pursue,
And dispose of the burdens he bears.

When our comforts Of life are assured.
And the sting OF the rain beating sharp

But Q it's so hard when it's our hearts

His faults are like books on our shelves,
We can ponder them over and read and
review,
But we haven't book on ourselves.
We can settle the other mans troubles
His griefs we can calmly discuss.
IL is easy to sweep all his troubles away,
But we can't do the same thing for us
The need OF another it's easy to see.
When our own wants are all satisfied.
And bold and courageous it's easy to be
When it isn't our souls that are tried,
But o it's hard when we're stumbling

To keep ourselves steadfast and true;

omaha,s Public Hospital

While Omaha is very well provided with pri-
vate hospitals there has long existed the neces-
sity of more accessible and better equipped pub
lie hospitals than any we have. This condition
is just at present accumulated by the prevailing
epidemic OF scarlet fever, which has forced the
expedient OF renting private hospital to meet
the emergency. II has been suggested that the
city and county unite their interests and between
them provide a hospital, modern in all it's APP
pointments, and large enough to accommodate
the cases now sent to private hospitals, as we'll
as to provide against epidemics or emergencies
OF any kind. This matter cannot be Immediately
settled. but II should be file with the city and
county authorities for proper consideration at
the earliest time. 1t is public need and should
be provided for.
