An Answer TO an Innnirv.

SOUTH OMAHA Aug. 3--To the Editor OF The
Bee You said something the other day about the
School board being elected hereafter "at large ana
nominated only by petition" [ do not understand
just what you Arc not to have any menu
bers OF the School board over here at all?
soUTHsIDER.
For.the benefit OF our inquirer, and all others
who may be interested, we may state that the
last legislature enacted a new law governing the
election Of members Of the Omaha School board,
abolishing ward representation and making the
terms four years, but overlapping so that half
of them expire every two years. To bring this
about, eight new members are to be chosen in
1915. OF whom the two receiving the lowest
number of votes are to serve for two years only,
70 that after that only six need be chosen at
one time.
The same legislature. as part Of this plan,
amended the primary election to exempt from
party nomination candidates for School board
places and to make petition nomination the only
way to put names on the official ballot-in
word, wrote into the law the method which had
been pursued by force of circumstances at the
last Omaha school board election. Whether
this WILL will not. give School board represen-
tation TO what was formerly South Omaha, or
TO any other particular section of the city, re-
mains to be seen. Ordinarily South Omaha can
didates would be at disadvantage as compared
with Omaha candidates, unless personally known
throughout the whole city. or included in some
kind OF slate. although presumably the pro-
POSED method Of election is intended to prevent
slate-making. Under the conditions now exist
ing, there is only one thing to do and that is
to wait and see how 1t works out at the first
trial next year

Redfield's whitewashinv EffOrt.

Secretary Redfield's obvious purpose to
shield the steamboat inspection bureau, through
his direction OF the Eastland inquiry, has
aroused a tremendous storm OF popular indig-
nation, not only in Chicago, but in all parts of
the country That so shocking an episode should
be followed at once by the efforts of a cabinet
officer to relieve his underlings OF blame for a
catastrophe for which they are in any way liable
is profoundly disappointing to people who rely
on their certificate when going aboard a vessel
under its survey.
Disclosures so far made In the Eastland
case indicate incompetence or neglect, or. what
is worse, collision with the owners, on part OF
the inspectors who allowed VIGOROUSLY un-
safe vessel to travel under the protection OF
government sanction, neither is popular feeling
allayed by the uncontradicted report that after
being passed by federal inspector. his son-in-
law was given the Job Of chief engineer OF the
Inflated boat The secretary of commerce is him
self marine engineer, end knows without being
told by witnesses what form OF craft is sea-
worthy and what is not. and this fact makes his
present inquiry seem all the more insincere.
The federal grand jury handling the case may
bring in indictments. fixing the responsibility in
some measure bat the steamboat inspection
bureau does not shine any brighter for the
whitewash the secretary of commerce Is laying
on II.

For an American Merchant Marine.

Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo, who is
a member OF the presidents personal family as
well as Of his cabinet family. and therefore
very likely in position to speak by the book,
says that the democrats will establish a new
American merchant marine. He does not say
by what process OF hocus pocus this result will
be brought about, but II is not likely to come
through the administrations shipping bill, de-
feated at the last session Of congress. That
measure is no longer championed, even by its
warmest caucus supporters IL was so openly a
makeshift, and its deficiencies we're 80 apparent,
that only through the power Of the caucus and
by pleading political exlgency was the presi-
dent able TO muster support for 1t. The objec-
lions to Il are as potent now as ever.
Democratic leaders are announcing them
selves as opposed to a ship subsidy in any form.
They demand the right to buy ships where they
can be had the cheapest, to man them with the
cheapest crews obtainable, and to put them into
trade under the American flag. This means
buying ships on the Clyde or In japan. where
labor is much cheaper than in the United States,
manning them with Chinese or Lascar crews,
and calling the mixture American" This sug-
gestion is quite in line with the democratic free
trade policy, exhibited in other directions.
The republicans may not be able to restore
the canal tolls exemption, repealed by the dem
ocrats, but they may be depended on to pro-
pose other proper means for fostering and en-
couraging American shipping without causing
other American interests to suffer.

Pay Of Movie "stars. -


How terrible 1t is to have our illusions and
delusions unceremoniously punetured! These
fancy stories about fancy pay for fancy movie
actors refers only TO the very top-notehers. Mary
Piekford's salary, II is true. is $500 week;
Charlie Chaplin gets $4,000; William Farnum,
$1,000; Marguerite Clark. 5000; Mary Fuller
$500; Mabel Normand. $780, Maurice Costello,
$500; ], Warren Kerrigan, $500; Earle viii
Jams, $780, Blanche Sweet. $3.50, but most of
the rest are little ones.
These figures, too. are official, having been
developed In sworn testimony in court proceed
ing out in California to compel one Of the con-
spicuous movie stars" to quit playing hockey
and go back 10 work under her contract at $40
week. Part OF the defense was that the lady
was not star" because stars get not less
than $3.50 a week and that her services were
not so essential anyway. because the market is
flooded with actresses and actors OF the same
caliber who receive from S25 to $75a week"
So there you have II right out in the open
that the bis money Is pulled down by the mighty
few, the ordinary run OF actors getting about
the same whether they pose before films OF do
one-night stands across country.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb.. Aug. 4.-To the
Editor OF The Bee: w. j. Bryan de-
livers his celebrated lecture on Peace"

course August s. Bryan Is great on
Peace" He has delivered his peace"
lecture around the world. He is sup
posed by this time to have the lecture
down pat" and the people OF Nosth
Platte expect to be 'muchly' entertained.
Considering Bryans military career in
the Spanish war. and his efficiency as a
politician in swallowing the pops"
Bryan is some on Peace"
The only peace" on this earth is
the Peace that passeth understanding"
that prevails in graveyards. Every
thing outside of graveyards Is commo-
ton, generating life and action.
The strenuous condition OF the public
mind at the present time demands some
kind OF paregorie. Bryan has got the
dope" Peace" Bryan put the pops"

pendent party 70 the public TO catch

important thing to be done now is to
keep the people asleep.
Notwithstanding Mr. Bryan's peaceful
pose on politics, he is wide awake, as
the dough" comes to himself Bryan
left his post as secretary OF state to
go to Maryland TO tell his peace stories
at a convention of farmers. When he
returned to Washington, he sent bin
to the Maryland farmers for sS0O-his
regular price was $50. but being as they
were farmers. he would discount Il 10
$500. The farmers paid the bill.
Owing to the above satisfactory 40
tivity, the North Platte chautauqua man
agement (the directing spirit OF which
is democratic and. like Bryan, religiously
incllned) decided to put Bryan ION the
boards" that the unsuspecting people OF
North Platte might be brought peace
fully under the influence OF Bryan's
gentle Inspiration.
The gentle life" Is as old as human
