Freedom for the Filipinos.

Renewal of the application for independence
by the Fiipinos will again arouse interest in the
progress of that race. The delegation now at
Washington expresses its great gratitude and
appreciation for what the United States has
done for that country. In return Secretary
Baker reminds them that the only ties between
the governor general and the friendly relations
In all other things the islanders are independent
and sef-governing, and he hopes that very
shortly even the presence of the governor gen.
eral will no longer remind them of the foster
ing care Of the American people
All this is very well. indeed. Americans
generally are willing the people they found
stepped in Fifteenth century ignorance and
superstition, just above savagery in many
regards should be given chance to set up for
themselves. but they want to see it done in
such fashion as will ensure permanence. 1t
must be brought about in way that will
to in bringing them up to their present state Of
enlightenment advancement and prosperity.
Not so very long ago the Jones' Hitchcock
bill proposed to declare the islands independent
in 1920. 1t may be doubted if progress since
that measure was passed by the first Wilson
congress has been such as to justify the action
we are asked to take Congress alone can de-
eide the question now, and when it has been
properly inquired into action can be taken in
diligently.
Fortunately for the Filipinos. the subject
will be handled by body animated solely by a
desire to do what is most needed for the well
fare of the islanders, and not with view to
what will better serve political exigencies at
home

NOTHING TO IT."

The Omaha Bee in an excellent editorial
regarding private and parochial schools in
sinuates that the private and paroehal schools
may not be as patriotic in their teachings as
the public schools
In this The Bee must be misinformed, for
there is nothing whatever to show that the
private and parochial schools are not as pa
triotic as the public schools. In this respect
there is no difference and not a single in
stance can be cited in the state of Nebraska
wherein private or parochial school has not
been as active in the teaching of patriotism
as any public school. In fact an investiga-
ton will disclose the fact that the parochial
schools have taken special pains 10 teach
loyalty, and if there is room for criticism along
this score at all it would lie against some OF
the public school teachers who have not paid
much attention to patriotism. However. the
charge is unfounded against any of the
schools, public, private and parochial and the
insinuation should not be made.-York News
Times.
Our critic has strangely misconstrued The
Bees utterances. AT no time has this paper I'M
dertaken to set up a comparison between the
patriotism of public and private schools What
it has consistently advocated has been the teach
ing in all schools of such lessons as will be the
means of establishing better understanding
of and a consequent deeper love and reverence
for American institutions.
One of the disgraceful facts connected with
the recent history of Nebraska is that disoyalty
was taught in the schools. We know that the
Mockett law, requiring that German be taught
in the public schools, was part of the propa-
ganda carried on in behalf of kaiserism; we
know that it was introduced in the Omaha
public schools by the same agencies that foisted
it the state.
1t was not in the grade and high schools
alone that this disloyaty was found. Our great
state university was found to be hotbed for
German propaganda. Several members of the
faculty were dismissed and others disciplined for
their activity. Among these some were out
spoken pro- Germans, while others we're merely
confirmed pacfsts.
Under existing conditions, it is not to be
wondered at that public suspicion attached to
schools where only foreign language was used.
1t is only prudence that leads us to advocate such
reasonable measures as will remove the 1ikeli-
hood of perpetuation of conditions that
brought to light as result of the war.
The first object of the schools is to so train
the children that they will become good citizens.
If this training properly can be combined with
religious tenets so much the better, perhaps;
but for the safety of the state the secular in
struction must always be above suspicion

Atlantic City's "Hippety-Duck Hop"

Animated scenery on the Boardwalk Of At
lantic City is pronounced we'll worth the price.
Spring fashions is the scenic fabricator. Ex-
traordinary tight skirts have evolved a toeingin
stride, kind of "hippety-duck hop" the weird
est walk ever seen in that promenade One
writer says the lack of space for side-action
locomotion forces the wearers of narrow skirts
to place one foot in front of the other as they
walk, with singular swing which throws the
toe beyond the center line of gravity and makes
the preservation of equilibrium matter of no
little difficulty.

REST, REAL REST !

Ottimes you have longing,
And somewhere you would go
Away from ceaseless turmoil
And from the worlds great show.
1t may be to far-off mountains
Or under a sheltering hill.
Where naught you hear but song of bird
Or the tTickling of a rill.
Or in some dense old forest
Where silence is solemn and grand.
And communion is only with nature
In a language you'll understand.
And when the night o'ertakes you
On some grassy plot you lie:
The sleep that comes will bring real rest
For no cares of the world nullify.

Chicago, Sept. 29-Emma Goldman,
agitator and social revolutionist, has
returned to the world after 20 months
in the Missouri state penitentiary at
Jefferson City, Mo-, an unrepentant an
archist.
Her prison experience, instead of
crushing her revolutionary spirit, has
intensified it. She has come forth
with plans to carry on all her old
propaganda for social revolution, and
has added ''prison reform" to her
platform, though she says that 'the
only way prisons can really be re-
formed is to abolish them"
Miss Goldman arrived in Chicago
"A hours after her release from prison.
She was accompanied by her niece,
Mrs. Stella Ballantine, and was met at
the station by DR.. Ben Reitman.
She left for Rochester, N. Y, to see
her mother and sister. She is to be
tried at Ellis island October 3 by fed
eral authorities, who will determine
whether she is to be deported to Rus
Sia as an undesirable alien.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 29.-The

self, following questioning by Senator

ments appeared in many of the local
newspapers, printed in six languages,
English, Polish, Croatian, Slovak, Ital-
ian and Hungarian. In this advertise
ment the corporations for the first
time during the walkout definitely
went on record as believing this strike
is part of revolutionary movement
in the United States.
For six days they have withheld
their opinions. Now they come out
and say:
Yesterday the enemy of liberty was
Prussianism. Today it is radicalism.
Masquerading under the cloak of the
American Federation of Labor, a few
radicals are striving for power. They
hope to seize control of the industries
and turn the country over to the red
rule of syndicalism."
This is not propaganda boast by
the Steel corporation. They say they
have proof to substantiate their state
ments and it is this proof they will
present to the senate committee. The
nature of the proof is known already
to the senate committee.
Pittsburgh Storm Center.
Purely from the standpoint of the
steel strike the important problem is
whether the return to normal condi-
tions in this district will affect other
steel centers or whether the strike
which is more extensive elsewhere will
finally affect Pittsburgh. The strike
itself at the close of the first business
week finds Pittsburgh standing out
against the rest of the country, with
organizers and agitators rushing here
by every train.
