rumors are published that we are to have war
with Mexico. and would like to establish CEN

is one not to be abridged. This right is one
that has constantly been abused by irrespon-

vent all manner OF sensational gossip for the
purpose of selling their papers. and the public
will purchase the papers for the purpose OF

Is not the first TO suffer from this cause. but II
is OF some melancholy interest to note that the
chief offenders are the papers that pretend
most conspicuously to support the president.
Mr.. Wilson will have TO do as his predecessors
have done, be patient and rely on the trust
worthy newspapers OF the country TO advise the
people as to the facts. and thus counteract the
influence OF the takers.

ST LOUIS. March ITO the Editor or
The Bee: / have before me copy OF the
editorial appearing in your issue OF March
3. under the caption: Mystery Of Pas
senger Rate Making" This editorial
was undoubtedly written without true
knowledge OF the facts In the case. OF
which desire 10 advise you. as follows:
Under Injunction from the court, issued
early in November. 1914 our passenger
fares within the state Of Nebraska were
increased. effective November 1Ts 1915. 10
a basis of cents per mile. and this
charge we feel IL not unreasonable Tor
the service performed in view of the con-
ditions surrounding the operation OF our
lines within the state OF Nebraska. Prior
to that date certain interstate fares to
and from points within the state of Ne
braska were advanced TO a basis OF
cents per mile and the tariffs were pub
lished. to become effective on March !,
1915. These tariffs. however, were sus-
pended by the Interstate Commerce COM
mission and the matter came up for
hearing under the Interstate Commerce
commissions investigation and suspen-
sion docket 600. which decision established
certain interstate fares on a basis Of ~
cents per mile.
Because Of the fact that we are charg-
ing. under the injunction referred to. a
rate of cents per mile, locally within
the state OF Nebraska. we assumed that.
notwithstanding the order of the COM
mission in the above mentioned case. we
would be permitted to continue to base
our Interstate fares upon the basis OF a
rate OF cents per mile within that state
and interstate tariffs filed. effective Janu-
airy Is. 1915 were on this basis.
Subsequent to that date a representa-
tive Of this company interviewed certain
members of the Interstate Commerce
commission requesting an Interpretation
Of the order in Investigation and Suspen-
sion Docket No. co., referred to above, as
result of which the commission ruled
that as TO all interstate fares covered by
the suspended interstate tariffs Il would
be necessary that the through Interstate
fares be reduced TO a basis Of 20 cents
per mile to and from the state of Me-
braska-
We still feel that we are entitled TO a
Scent per mile basis and this only en-
phasizes what we have often said and
undertaken TO have the public, and par
ticularly publishers of our newspapers, to
understand that we are the victims Of
such intense regulation that injustice is
being done the carriers in the matter OF
| fares and rates.

my personal regards. / am,

Soldering off in Mexico

Surface indications support the conclusion
that the presence OF the United States forces on
the border. with the Intention to cross In pur-
suit OF villa. has had the effect OF SOLDERING off
official Mexico. Expressions from the leaders
differ in tone from those heard little while
ago. and the respect now being shown the
wishes OF our government is in strong contrast
70 the indifference or contempt with which they
were recently met. This change is but natural
and II is certain TO spread from the officials to
the people, who take their cue readily from
their superiors. Senior Carranza and his inn
mediate advisers have accepted the situation
most gracefully. and doubtless realize the i'm
mense service our government is rendering their
cause. They at least understand the sentiment
OF justice that Is behind the American exped'-
ton, and from them no opposition is likely. AS
the people become advised OF the facts the pos
sibllity OF war with Mexico becomes more and
more remote.

Check I'm the Paroles.

The arrest OF robber who had perpetrated
a series OF sensational crimes in Omaha discloses
a situation that demands official attention. The
robber turns out to be a paroled convict. who
was making regular reports Of his conduct to
the secretary OF the prison board at Lincoln
and painting himself in such commendable
colors as to gain assurance from that official
that he would be made the object Of especial
favors. What part the sponsor for this des-
perado had in the deception thus practiced, II
any, is not disclosed. but he certainly could not
have been keeping very close watch on the man
for whose behavior he had pledged himself. The
question Is How many more paroled convicts
are befooling the prison board and their spon-
sors In like manner? This case indicates a
weakness somewhere in the system. Would it
not be well TO check up the paroles and find out
IL the public Is getting the protection II is en-
titled to. and whether the paroied man is really
reforming himselff

Practical Educatian.

LOOMS. Neb.. March 15.-To the Ed
itor OF The Bee: The school of tomorrow
will be so different from the school of
yesterday that the old-time school teacher
would not recognize the coming school
as school at an. The demand of the
times Is to bring the school to everyday
life. Vocational education is no longer
a fad. 1t is a living factor in education
There is a growing idea that the schools
must deal with everyday living This is
the greatest forward movement in mod
ern education. No matter how much Gull
ture or knowledge a man possesses, If he
cannot make his own living he sinks into
nothingness.
Education is the training that fits the
child for the duties Of life. BY this all
duties are meant-development of mind
and muscle. training for citizenship, for
home-malTing. for social and economic
duties.
Education Is received from all our sur
roundings and environments, and cannot
be limited to any term OF years, nor any
place or set system. II Is progression all
through life. Whether we plan or not
we are getting and giving education every
day
The people of today are cIamoring for
the practical. Practical education must
train the whole child. 1t must train his
Judgment, will and senses, and develop
In him the right kind Of habits OF think
ing ana planning and working.
We must teach IN terms OF the child's
life or he cannot understand and profit
by the teaching. The rural child taught
in terms of city life. something with
which he Ia not familiar is a waste Of
time as well as a terrible injustice 10 the
child. Therefore. the rural child must

order TO educate back to the farm and
not away from It. because the greatest
problem before the American people to-
day is the problem OF maintaining on our
farms representative class Of people.
Tho problem OF the country teacher Is
the problem of accepting conditions as
they now exist In the average rural COM
munity' and OF converting the present
rural school into a living center for the
instruction OF country children IN terms
OF country life. For IL the farm problem
In It's most fundamental aspects IA the
