Those Eight Million Men in Buckram.

Some badly tangled figures purportng to
show an alarming proportion OF aliens in this
country who refuse to assume the obligations OF
our citizenship are going the rounds, and are
Icing accepted at face value as official In the

figures. plainly quoted from another source,

disclosed In Labor departm' Mt statistics. These
naturalizato bureau figures showed 100000 foreign
citizenship. The has directed attention to this
staggering number Of men who come to the United
states and then refuse to become citizens.
Such a SITUATE, would indeed be "stagger-
Ing" if true but that there is something wrong
with the numbers somewhere Is quickly discov-
cred by any one seeking TO verify them.
According to the last census--and the 1910
figures, relatively speaking, hold good today
the total number OF foreign born persons-men.
women and chlldren---In the United States are
13515,ss6. 1t is therefore preposterous to say
that we have 100000 foreign born persons
who have not acquired citizenship.
The last census figures likewise show that
the total number Of foreign born males over
twenty-one years of age in the United States is
6.646,S17. II is therefore even more preposter-

men in the United States who owe allegiance to
European nations.
While statistics covering the number OF for
eign born who have become naturalized are not
accessible to us, some light may be secured from
comparison with the election returns. Here in
Nebraska the census gives in round figures
$780, 900 male inhabitants Of voting age and the
highest vote cast is approximately 275,000,
which with the addition of the usual ten per
cent for the vote not poiled would bring the
number of eligible to vote in this state we'll
above 100000. II Nebraska is typical, then, II
would be not far out of the way to figure at most
fifteen per cent of those Of voting age to be in
eligible to vote and fifteen per cent for the
whole country would be less than 1000 900. So
the s. 1000 able-bodied men in the United
States who owe allegiance to European nations"
must be for the most part merely 100000 men
in buckram.

Some school auertions.


OMAHA, Aug. 3-To the Editor OF
The Rec: We taxpayers are extremely
grateful to your paper for exposing the
secret sessions of the Board of Educa-
ton as you are, for we are vitality inter-
ested In how our representatives are
using the money and power we have en-
trusted to them
There are a few other items that tho
taxpayers and patrons of the Omaha
public schools should be acquainted with.
For instance, those Of us who have
known about 1t have been inccnsed for
two years at the arrangement of the
teachers pay days. 1t is humillating, to
say the least, for the teachers who arc
paving the family grocery and meat bills
land few OF them are no). to ask the
grocers and butchers to wait until after
the middle OF each month for the settle
ment of their accounts, because their
warrants are not issued earlier In the
month.
OF course, we understand that the at
torney for the Board of Education has
declared it illegal to make out the teach
ers' payroll until the four weeks teach
ing has been completed. why is it more
illegal to pay the teachers at the end
of four weeks work than 1t is to pay
the Board of Education office force, and
the janitors and engineers at that time?
II has just leaked OUT that the teach
ars' committee has said their policies in
tho future are to change the teachers
about every year. and not let them know
until the last minute before school opens
in September. where they are assigned.
Both policies. to our notion, are bad
and unjust. If q teacher is successful in
one district, with one class of children,
why change her. unless she so desires, to
a district or class In which she has to
waste at least several months adjusting
herself. her methods. the children. and
everything else? Would 1t be good bust
ness for a merchant employing a clerk
who was an expert in selling shoes. to
change him to the china department, and
then when he was beginning to do good
work there, to put him behind the silk
counter? Is not the human mind and
its training as important as the selling
of goods?
II Is unjust not to notify the teachers
OF their assignments as soon as possible.
Nearly every teacher returns TO the city
several days prior to the opening OF
school in order to get settled that she
may be able to give her entire time and
attention and energy to the strenuous
duties OF the opening days of school,
Supposed one arranged for room ana
board. paying a months rent in advance.
as Is required, in the north part OF the
CITY, only to discover after she Is set
tied for the year that she has heen as
signed to a school in the extreme south
ern part OF the city. Can't the board
realize the Inconvenience and useless ex-
pense that this policy means to the
teacher? TEACHERS FRIEND.

County Road improvements.
NORTH LoUP, Neb.. Aug. sl.-To the
Editor OF The Bee; There is much dis
cUssion just at this time with respect 70
the construction OF macadamized roads.
II, when we begin a job Of work, we
would carefully go over the subject and
find where other people have failed In
that same class OF work, we might save
much expense and many mistakes. Is
tine concrete and brick roadbed a proper
method of building long stretches OF
permanent road2 l will say no. and 1
will give my reasons for saying it.
Roads Of a smooth concrete surface are
not good auto roads in wet, frosty
weather. Any class of concrete is too
apt to crack and become rough. Brick
is better surfacing than concrete.
One Of the necessary elements in per
manent roads is to get a surface that will
absorb the water and remain perfectly
cold and remain free from a sleek, slid
ing surface. The material most ideal for
roadbeds Is the Sherman Hill gravel
used on the Union Pacific railroad. 1t
would not become sleek, the water runs
through Il like a Sieve; Il ls very firm
for the heavier roads The only repairs
necessary is a shovel to smother down.
Autos would not skid on 1t. II the state
were to make ARRANGEMENTS for 1t the
cost should be much lower than cement
and brick Public improvements cost too
much from the fact that much money
Is spent In vain on Undersigned works.

Ak.sar.Ben's Growing Greatness.

Some talk was heard last year about aban-
coming Ak-Sar-Ben. II had outlived its useful
ness, said the directors; the jovial ruler of
ouvera had become passe and the people we're
tired OF him and wanted something new. The
answer to this 10 found this season in the
largest membership ever enrolled under the ban
ner OF the king The greatest crowds ever as
sembled at the Den are there each Monday
might, and more visitors by many thousands have
been entertained by the knights this summer
than ever before Ak-Sar-Ben worn out? Never
in all his twenty-one years OF active life has
Samson's mill for making boosters been SO busy
as now. The spirit OF Ak-Sar-Ben is growiSg
stronger instead of waning, and the king wakes
more and more pussant as his prosperity in
ereases and his domain is extended. The in
ttitution OF Ak-sar-Ben has proved its useful
ness in ways too many to be readily enumerated
and II will be factor in the life Of Nebraska
and Omaha for many years to come.

The Ballot and the People.

Senator Roots speech to the New York con-
stitutonal convention, in favor of the short bal
lot. will bring the subject prominently forward
for discussion again. His arraignment OF I'm
Visible government" is strong and vlrile, but the
strongest argument for the short ballot does not
rest on that point alone. The fragmentary re-
port OF Senator Roots remarks, furnished for
the news columns, gives no mention of the real
reasons for removing a great many Of the minor
offices OF government from the elective to the
appointive classification. These reasons are nu-
merous and potent, and are coming more and
more to be understood and accepted by students
of our political structure. The short ballot does
not mean taking the power away from the peo-
pie. whose rule will be more absolute when II is
concentrated on the election of responsible ad-
ministrauve and executive officers. The Bees
plea for the short ballot met with only partial
response in Nebraska, where the length OF the
ballot has reached such proportions as to be ri
Giculous as we'll as to effectually prevent an in
telligent and discriminating exercise of the vot-
ers choice. II New York should adopt the pro-
posed reform, 1t may encourage Nebraskans to
similar action.
