Tad is an Outcost; Mother Goldfish
Keeps Little Goldfish Away from Him

Poor little Tad is en- outcast,
Tad is a tadpole that was placed in
the aquarium in the rotunda OF The Bee
building by State Fish Commissioner
O'Brien some time ago along with half
a hundred goldfish
At that time Tad looked just like a
fish. OF course. he didn't have any bright
colors TO braR about, but the arlst'ocratic
goldfish recognized him casually and as
"Melrllcla" would say, he soon became
zone of the most popular members of the
aquarium younger set
Old Man Goldfish found Tad an agree
able companion. and they soon got in
the way OF strolling about the aquarium
together. The old gentlefish told Tad
of his ancestors in Japan. for he was
very proud of his family.
Tad couldn't reciprocate in this respect
for he could remember nothing Of his
family. All he knew was that he first
saw the light Of day in "A tank at the
state fish hatcheres in Gretna- Neb.
Mamma Goldfish, being of match
making turn of mind. looked Tad over
and decided he would make a good hus-
be nd for fifteen or twenty of her daugh-
ters, and she began dropping little prais-
ing remarks such as That young Tad
Is certainly q perfect gentleman | like
him"
The fifteen or twenty daughters liked
Tad's looks and actions too, and soon
1t seemed that a real love affair was
under way. Tad used to take the girls
out swimming and showing them all

In the Matter of Cotton.

For the second time cotton has been declared
absolute contraband of war, and bids fair to be
come quite as important a topic for discussion
now as 1t was during the civil war over fifty
years ago. Great Britsins action. which is really
the action OF the Triple Entente allies, in plac-
ing cotton the prescribed list has necessitated
the rewriting of the note OF protest from the
United States, dealing with the shipping situa-
ton developed under the order in council. In
reference with ocean traffic under that order
has been directed quite as much against cotton
as any other commodity, but the note will now
have to deal with the legality of the newest or
der, and its possible effects on neutral COM
merce.
The situation now becomes delicate as we'll
as difficult for cotton very easily falls within
per Sc an article of use in war. In fact, 1t is
one of the chief articles of use in war, entering
more extensively than any other into the making
of explosives. This quite definitely fixes the re-
iation OF cotton to war. Great Britain has hith-
erto pointed out that large shipments OF cot
ton have been made to the neutral ports on the
North Sea and the Baltic. far in excess Of the
requirements OF the countries to which the car
goes we're consigned. and the very natural infer
ence is that the ultimate destination was farther
along the line, and perhaps to an enemy. In this
position the British have sought to justify them
selves, but the fact that they have not under
taken to blockade neutral port, and that traffic
in contraband between neutrals is still permits
sble, will not support their contention that they
have a right to blockade the open seas, as they
have undertaken TO do.
For the prevention of any unusual depres-
sion due to the British action, Secretary McAdoo
has announced he win deposit thirty millions in
gold in three southern federal reserve banks,
without interest, to be used in upholdlng credit
based on cotton. The southern planters viii be
tenderly cared for. as they have been from the
first. by the present administration, the strength
OF which comes from the cotton growing states.

Preference for Omaha Teaohsrr.

Regardless Of the fate Of the so-called teach
ers training school, whose continuance Is
hanging in the balance with the School board,
The Bee wants to enter vigorous dissent to the
proposition that the only way to maintain the
efficiency Of our public schools is to import
teachers from other cities. We are for giving
preference, wherever preference is to be given
to graduates Of our own high school willing to
ne themselves for the work Of teachers, and
whose parents live here and pay taxes to help
foot the bills for our schools and, more than
that. who are counted among the local consum-
ers who buy goods Of Omaha merchants and keep
their money in circulation here
We agree that the public schools are not
a charity institution to support needy depend
ents. but IL they cannot turn out from year to
year a fair supply Of graduates who can com
pete on equal terms with the products of the
public schools Of other cities and towns, then
there is something wrong with our public
schools This does not mean that we should
never employ teachers with outside experience.
nor that deterioratlng n-breedng of the teach
ing corps is not to be avoided, but that 1t does
mean that Omaha young women should have
the first chance to prove their worth as public
school teachers.
Whether Omaha should furnish the training
for the vocation of the teacher, or compel its
young folks to seek that training elsewhere is
another question. II, however, we are going
into the business OF vocational education, it
would seem to us that the training of teachers
is as important as the training of telegraph
operators, bookkeepers stenographers. and
that at least an attempt to remedy deficiencies
in the training school might we'll precede vot-
ing 1t failure and decreeing its abolition.
What the people object to most, and right
fully. is to have this question decided in star
chamber session by three members OF a board of
twelve in an apparent attempt to forestall pub
lilo discussion of il.
