Democratic Objections to Criticism.

Democratic Objections to Criticism.
Omaha, Neb., Sept 20.-To the
Editor of The Bee: There seems to be
a great deal of objection on the part
of democrats to the criticism of the
Wilson administration by the repub-
lican candidate for president, Charles
e. Hughes, and in fact to criticism by
anybody else.
They seem to think that 1t is sac
rilege for anybody to express disap-
prevail to any of the numerous acts OF
the administration that are subject to
criticism. Not one president ever
elected by the republican party has
been free from democratic criticism
and none will ever be elected who will
not be subject to their criticism They
even to this day talk Of the Mckinley
administration being controlled by
Mark Hanna. The Mckinley admins
tration will go down in history as one
of the best this country ever had,
for there was one of the greatest
revivals of industry ever seen in the
history of the world, after the dsas-
trous last administration of Grover
Cleveland. There has not been more
vacillatiRg administration in the his
tory of this republic than the Wilson
administration, for there has been
change of front on every great ques-
ton that has come before 1t for solu-
ton.
Yet every movement made by Will
son has indicated his keen desire to
inflict his administra. on upon us for
another four years. The supreme ef-
forts of Wilson to force his reelection
should make the movement for
change to one term Of six years for
one man as president, all the stronger.
He Is the most adroit politician who
has held the presidency since the time
of Martin Van Buren,, and 1t is to be
hoped that his defeat for a second
term will be as signal as was that of
Van Buren, in 1870. We need states
man for president and not a political
schemer whose every movement shows
an intense and crazy desire to be
elected again. l cannot but believe
that when the sober thinking people
Of this republic conside. the failures
of the Wilson administration as COM
pared with the great successes Of the
republican party under Lincoln, Grant,
Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Harrison, Nc
Kinley, Roosevelt and Taft, that they
will consider that we need a change
back to the old order of things under
a republican administration, and get
rid of southern democratic rule.

Helping the School "Kiddies."

A captain OF police was astonished when some
OF the many thousand OF Omaha school children
began to call him up to get some detailed infor-
nation about his business. Moreover he was
just little bit nonplussed as to how to answer
the many inquiries fred at him. The, youngsters
wanted more details about the police force than
the officer could give ofhand, 1t is good sign
the teachers who set the youngster thus to hnd
ing out about the city they live in are doing a
good work. 1t not only informs the little folks
but it causes their elders TO brush up on some
facts that good to keep in mind. But the
experience is not novel, Year after year. the
information editor of The Bee has given over
great deal OF his time to helping the boys and
girls get their lessons, by furnishing answers to
puzzling questions asked at school, This serv.
ice is gladly performed, for it means that the
coming citizens are getting posted in advance,
and when the time comes for them to take their
part in the big affairs OF the world they will be
the better qualified because OF their early famili-
arity with some OF the "details Of government
The Bee is always ready to answer questions the
school children ask.

Bank Directors and Bank Funds.

decision from the Douglas county district
court that involves the responsibility Of bank
directors and the safeguarding of their funds on
deposit will undoubtedly go to the supreme court
for final determination In effect, the judge OF
the district court holds that the deposit OF a
bank director is no different from that OF an
other customer, when it comes to applying the
relief provided in the deposit guaranty law. On
the surface, this decision looks like good law.
1t Should not follow that because an individual
is on the official board of failed bank he is to
be deprived of the safeguards OF the law. II
he has been negligent in performance OF his
duties or is otherwise responsible for the failure
of the bank, he may be reached through another
channel But the money he has placed in the
bank as depositor ought to have the same full
protection as Is guaranteed to other patrons.
What is really more to the point, especially in
this particular instance, is that bank directors
be induced to give closer attention to the man
agement of the institutions under their charge,
and so contribute by their wisdom and watchful-
ness to the general safety of banking in Nebraska.
Such practice would relieve the guaranty fund
OF much OF its burden.

THE HOME TOWN.

Edgar A. Guert In Detroit Free Press
Some folks leave home for money
And some leave home for fame,
Some seek skies always sunny,
And some depart In shame.
care not what the reason
Men travel east or west,
Or what the month or season,
The home town is the best.
The home town Is the glad town
Where something real abides,
It's not the none! 1ad town
That all Its spirits hides.
Though strangers scott and flout 1t
And even jeer its name,
1t has a charm about 1t
No other town can claim.
The hometown skies seem bluer
Than skies that stretch away,
The home- town friends seem truer
And kinder through the day.
And whether glum or CHEEKY,
Light hearted or depressed,
Or struggle-fit or weary,
l Ike the home town best.
Let him who will go wander
To distant towns to live,
OF some things am fonder
Than all they have to give
The gold of distant places
Could not repay me quite
For those familiar faces
That keep the home town bright.
