Rrinrinr WYOMING oil 70 omaha.

AZ soon a. freight rates threaten the special
privilege omaha enjoys IN its crazy quilt tansporta-
ton tariffs, you may expect hear it, papers
in uncertain tone.
Setting this feature aside for the time being. how
ever, the farmer and interior business men OF Ne

a pipe line from Casper 20 Omaha.

Precedent and the course OF the least resistance

uoners successful, another link would be forged IN
the chain which shacles the people or the country

The states Of Wyoming and Nebraska might be
induced TO build this line, but toe most promising
issue would be for tho producers and the Of

II the government build a railroad in far-off
Alaska, Il build pipe line in Nebraska and
Wyoming.-Creighton Liberal
II Is gratifying to The Bee 10 have its appeal
for early development OF the Wyoming oil fields
meet with approving attention. so far The
Zee is concerned. however, II is not a new agita-
ton, for II has been hammoring along this line
for many year, and the raise in oil rates by the
railroads is merely the occasion, and not the
cause, for us again urging the subject.
The Bee is not specially concerned. either. as
to how. or by whom, the pipe line should be con-
structed, whether by private capital or public
enterprise, because 1t would be in all respects
subject to regulation, and could be taken over
by the government whenever desired. For
tunately, or unfortunately, Nebraska is so ham
pered by It's constitution that It cannot inau-
gurate such internal improvement on state
account, although possibly the various counties
or smaller subdivisions might do so. Further
more. we fear the prospect OF inducing the fed
eral government TO go into the pipe line business
is not promising. the government-built railroads
in Alaska TO the contrary notwithstanding. A
pipe line from the Wyoming oil fields to a termi-
nal at Omaha would not be so tremendously
costly that It could not be financed II It had the
necessary popular backing and the right men
took hold OF IL.

A WEDDING INCIDENT.

Butte Miner.
In a corner stiff and solemn.
Like an icy, craven column,
All unnoticed, stood n fellow,
Who was shrouded deep in gloom;
He was whiting at the collar,
And, thought 1, I'll bet dollar
That that sad and lonely person
That dress suit looks disconnected,
Just cs thought It's one he's rented.
And the boutonniere he's wearing
Long ago had lost its bloom:
No one shakes his hand to cheer him,
No one offers TO go near him,
It's moral cinch, this minute.
He's the groom
His grim countenance perusing
Thus stood there idly musing,
And, 1 thought, Ill go and tell him
He has friends about the room;
l will go and kindly gteet him;
Say I'm very glad to meet him;
I will whisper words OF kindness,
To the groom.
While the bride the guests are kissing
All the Joy of life he's missing,
will gayly say the altar
After all is not the tomb.
will say. Come on, be jolly,
IT'S no time for melancholy"
And that way I'll rouse the spirits
OF the groom.
So I promptly stepped up to him.
Just as thought l really really knew him.
Slapped his back and with my elbow
Gave his ribs the crack of doom;
Winked my eye and said, BE merry,
It's a glad occasion, very;
Just remember at this wedding
You're the Rroom"'
Then he answered with a below,
Now don't you get gay. young fellow.
Or I'll rush you mighty sudden,
From the room;
Since you've asked me why my presence.
1 am guardin all these presents,
I'm Detective Mike McGinnis.
Not the groom"

An Unfriendly Proposal.

When a humane world woke up a score of
years ago and measured the evil results of the
opium habit forced upon the Chinese people by
the British East India company the act was
branded as "the crime of the century" In the
last dozen years laws restricting the cultivation
OF the poppy and prohibiting importations
have greatly reduced the use of drugs in China
and hitting the pipe is almost rarity But
the commercial world hates TO let 20 q good
thing and proposes something Just as good"
II comes 70 this country through an American
consular officer at Shanghai and points to chew

copious publicity and dragon-gilded wrappers
to make millions Of Celestial jaws work as they
never worked before. Just what the Chinese
have done to the United States to warrant re-
prisal does not appear. The relations OF the
two republics are friendly. Expressions Of good

Some Real Horrors of War.

Even grim vizaged War must grin as he
surveys the plight of the folks who have been
touched by the war-wave in Europe. Among
these must be listed the thirst quenchers" OF
Munich, whose sorrowful situation will be fully
appreciated by some of the bibulous who recall
the days before o'clock closing in Omaha.
According to the imperial and royal regulations
dnder which beer is now dispensed In Munich,
seventy lters is the limit OF an evenings ration
for restaurant and this has brought about
automatically O'Clock shutdown. When
the seventy liters of beer are gone. there's
nothing to do till tomorrow" the citizen goes
home and Herr Kellner turns out the lights.
It's merry life they lead in Munich these days.
But, when you have gazed aghast at the pic
ture OF the poor burgher of Munich, held down
to his narrow ration of beer, consider the sltua-
ton OF the London society that maintains hos
pital for cats and is now, by exigency OF the
war, forced to make a public appeal for funds
that IL may keep open its doors. Even the
Times has noted the gravity OF this institutions
sad condition. but rather unsympathetically the
Thunderer suggests that this lie no time to
maunder over cats"
Verify, all the horrors OF war are not con-
fined 10 the stricken battle fields nor are the
people of Belgium and Poland the only ones to
feel the pinch of necessity!

First. The ineffeciency charge. is, as
everybody knows. not q fact and not
only reflects on the intelligence and teach
ing ability of a large number of the
grade teachers but is also a slap at the
parents of these young women. 1 be-
lieve that the teachers referred to
will compare favorably with those who
have had the additional college course
or any other class of teachers in the
grades. for the training they receive, or
should receive, in practical teaching ex-
perence before they begin to draw a
teachers salary. should really, fit them
better for the task than all the college
training in America. l do not mean to
belittle colleges either.
AS to the second excuse, IL Is more than
likely that the public school treasury has
saved for more money because OF the
training class. than it has paid out to
maintain II since II first started. For
instance. cases have been brought to my
notice, where training class teachers have
filled regular teachers places almost from
the start, saving the city $50 to $50 per
month. they receiving only $40 per month
for the work. Perhaps, they should not
have been permitted to do so. but they
were.
II is a direct affront to the middle
class citizens. unable financially, to send
their children away to college. The dis
continuance of the training class takes
away the only chance their girls have to
become teachers, and should not be toll
Grated.
Lastly. the citizens should demand that
we keep our word good with last year
graduates, who expected to enter the
training class this fall and were not
permitted to do so. The word of the
citizens of Omaha, not the word OF the
school board. is out to these young peo-
pie and that word should be kept.
