War Memorials

Characteristic of every such proposal as
those that are stirring the little city is fatal
fault that is based on the delusion that anything
to which the name of war memorial can be
ascribed will be one. OF course this is not
carried to its logical conclusions even by those
who hold it most sincerely. They do not advise
the purchase of new motor fire engine, or the
requirement. of Main street, or the payment of
mayors or city clerks salary as war memoir
ial, but to do any of these things would be just
as sensible as it would be similarly to designate
any of the schemes that are so naively advo-
Gated
None of the schemes is ntrinsicaly bad, in
the sense that its execution would be detri-
mental to anybody. But the plea that such
memorials" as these would be useful" is the
perfectly adequate reason for rejecting them all,
as the one purpose of memorial is to be a
memorial, and the effort to make it serve two
purposes will always be failure and an abb
surdity.
private person, of course, can erect hos
pital or library, or give the, land for public
park, and as long as it lasts and bears his name
it will be memorial to his generosity; but, just
as he could not attain the same end through
something designed for his own personal use
and benefit, SO city cannot provide for its
own municipal needs or necessities and at the
same time pay honor to something entirely diff
ferent-New York Times.

omaha's Housing Problem.

Whether Omaha's housing problem was
brought nearer to solution by the mass meeting
at the Chamber of Commerce does not yet ap-
pear. Each of the various elements represented
took occasion to defend its own position by
pointing out that the other fellows prices are
too high. No real progress is made by passing
the buck, nor does this touch the psychological
aspect of the case The general price level is
high, and will likely remain high To great
extent profteering is responsible for this, but,
as has already been pointed ont by The Bee, in
fation of money is also to be blamed. Until the
amount of money in circulation is reduced, and
credit is shortened, no extensive lowering of
costs may be expected. When this time will
come not even>the wisest ventures at present
to say. For Omaha the condition is not espe-
cially advantageous just now. We are told
that rents are not too high; that building ma
terial prices are not too high; that land values
are not too high, and that wages are not too
high. If that is true, it would be in order to
put an end to the debate and start work on
buildings that are needed to accommodate the
steadily and rapidly increasing population of
the city. If any of the items of cost of building
is too high, it should be brought down to
reasonable figure. The main point is to get
needed work started

scream so wild that the dogs quit
bowling and looked up in alarm.
What they thought they saw gave
them an awful turn. Here was

ing in thin air. yelling with rage.
and apparently about to pounce
fiercely upon them. Even as they
looked Lonesome Bear jerked his
tail loose and tumbled down among
the dogs. To them 1t seemed as IL
the gigantic cat were flying to tear
them to pieces.
"Yew-ow-ow!" howled the dogs.
"Ur-row-ow-ow" yelped Lonesome
Bear. striking out in frightened
frenzy. His claws scratched the
nearest dogs and his heavy paws
Knocked them over. They were so
startled they never stopped to fight.
They just yelled and started for
home.
Lonesome Bear reared up on his
hind legs. This put his shining head
away up in the air. The dogs farth-
er back could see the head, but they
couldn't see Lonesome Bears body.
Naturally, they thought he was
cat of elephant size. and they started
away from there so fast that they
nearly outran the sound Of their
own frightened yelps. In remark
ably short time there wasn't dog
in sight or sound.

down the tree, now we can rescue

Bank Deposits Guaranty.

The Nebraska bank deposits guaranty law
has single purpose. 1t is to insure the safety
OF depostors' money. When enacted the prin-
cipal objection to it was that it would require
established banks to become responsible for
venturesome persons who might be induced to
engage in the banking business.
This is one of the effects of the law 1t has
not eliminated entirely recklessness or dishon-
esty, but the results Of unsafe banking have been
borne by the sound banks of the state For this
very reason the bankers are more than ever
jealous of the character of their business. They
know they must pay for the experiments of wild
cat institutions, or the ventures of any who
prefer to take chance" beyond safety
Many millions of dollars have been brought
into the state by reason of the insurance af-
forded by the law At present we have more
money on deposit in Nebraska than ever in its
history condition brought about by the gen.
eral imitation of currency and the unexampled
prosperity of the people Such situation affords
strong temptation to the speculative interests
and affords something of unusual inducement
to engage in banking With all these points so
plain, it is scarcely to be wondered at that the
bankers have asked the state to give them some
slight protection.
This is provided by the bill now on its way
through the legislature, which will require that
bank be in business for two Years before it
can come under the protection of the deposits
guaranty law. No danger OF monopoly in
banking being thus established is sufficiently
great to Offset the benefit that will come from
having Nebraska amply protected against specu-
lative dealing with other peoples money during
time of uncommon activity and unprecedented
plenty.

why Not Take a Chance?

Omaha, March c3.-To the Editor
of The Bee: The Bee has a very in
teresting contest on What is Love ?"
and several people tried to tell what
they thought love was. but in every
case they were just telling what love
did and what some of the proofs of
love were-not what love itself was.
That wasn't surprising because 1t is
mystery which no one knows. The
contest afforded lot Of entertain
ment, but what was the result? The
mystery was no nearer being solved
than it had been thousand years
ago. =
Why not have a contest on a sub
iect that would be of value, for in
stance. something like this: What
sign should there be to show girl
whether it would be worth her While
to fall in love with a man, or not!'
1 can only appreciate such subject
after having had the experience or
falling in love, whatever that means,
with a married man.
I didn't know that he was married.
Had / known it, perhaps l wouldn't
have become affected with heart
disease, but I didn't; and that just
groves the importance Of something
like the above suggestion.
As YOU have perhaps observed,
that in the case of women, the IL
ancee has a sign of her approaching
marriage in the form of the engage
ment ring; and after her marriage,
the prefixed "Mrs." attached to her
name. While on the other hand,
there is no way to distinguish the
eligible men from the ineligible,
that is, no visible sign; and men are
always "Mr." after they pass a GER
tain age, lis it 1922 True, some
men (married) may have invisible
Iariats around their necks, one end
OF which is tightly clutched by a
masculine feminine, compelling and
visible wife's hand.
There was once woman VINO
claimed to be an authority on the

observation it wasn't at all difficult
for her to tell a married man the
minute she laid her eyes on him or
before he had spoken five sentences,
that she could always detect that
attitude of subsection which always
prevailed with married man. some
times partially. sometimes COM
pletely, depending, of course, on the
strength of the hand that was at the
end of the lariat. But that is neither
here nor there. What / am particu-
larry interested in, is sign, some

PRIVATE AND pARocH1AL SCHOOLS.

The legislature has apparently reached an
agreement on the proposed law for control Of
private and parochial schools that rests on COM
mon sense. Religious instruction may be given
in schools under sectarian or UNCONVENTIONAL
direction, but such schools must carry course
OF study equivalent to that of the common
schools Of the state for each grade. The gen.
eral school laws of the state will govern in
this, as well as in fixing the educational or
professional qualifications OF teachers. Study
OF American history and civil government is
also required, and instruction in these branches
isfy the state authorities.
More scarcely could be asked. Parents still
have the privilege of sending their children to
private or parochial schools, to receive such
supplemental instruction in matters of religion
as can not be had in the public schools. 1t is
not the purpose OF. the state to deprive anybody
of the consolation of private belief or exercise
of free choice in the selection of faith Any
intermingling of politics with religion is
repugnant to the spirit of our government.
Therefore, the state not only grants the free
teaching of the tenets of creeds or dogmas that
are not subversive of good morals or public de-
cency, but it also exacts that these be taught in
such way as will not even remotely jeopardize
however slightly, the political institutions of
the land.
Reasonable regulation of all schools carries
with it no danger to the propagation or dis
semnation Of any religion worthy of the name.
On this all agree. The proposed Nebraska
law holds no danger for any institution that has
right to survive, and its operation should quiet
apprehensions as to the future of elementary
education in the state

the howl. to the tops of the trees,
then to the clouds, and on toward
the winking stars. But when it got
up into space, it broke and stopped,
just as If Reggie's bellows had broke
from too much pressure.
The dogs tried to equal this howl,
and the noise they made caused
Peggy to clap her hands over her
ears. But it didn't bother Billy. He
was too busy turning Lonesome
Bear into most fearsome wild cat.
The way he did this was peculiar.
He took old fashioned sulphur
matches from his pocket. wet the
ends with his tongue until the phos
phorus glowed, and then painted
Lonesome Bears face with silvery
lines that shone out in the dark.
Soon he had Lonesome Bear looking
like a huge, ghostly cat, of which
only the head could be seen. \
"Now make believe that you are
a wild cat" whispered Billy, "just
scare those dogs into flts." Lone

Armed Intervention in Central Europe.

So grave has the situation in Central Europe
become that delegates to the Paris peace con-
ference now are considering the likelihood OF
armed Intervention to preserve whatever is left
of law and order in the affected region. Poland
is particularly threatened. Paderewski and Pill
sudski have found their plans for setting up
republic there seriously nterfered with by the
bolsheviki, and now have sent urgent requests
for assistance in holding back the hordes that
threaten the land. Bohemia is also concerned
in much the same way. Whether or not the
Russians could continue fighting against the
Germans. they do not lack means to threaten
their neighbors who are striving to govern
themselves and to carry on commerce and agri-
culture that they may live. Against them the
power of organized government must be set,
that civilization be not extinguished entirely in
large part of the world. Words will not stop
