Nebraska's Educational Institutions.

The constitutional convention is now deal
ing with one of the really vital points that may
come before it. that of public education. Moth
ing has played a greater part in the develop
ment of the commonwealth than its public
schools No state more munihcently endowed
its common schools, and none has contributed
more literally to their support. Nebraska has
been a leader in many of the enlightened ways
of providing for the instruction of the young
This record is not only occasion for pride, but
is the best possible argument for the perpetual
ton of the system.
Our schools should not be put into strait
jacket The simplest possible provision to es-
tablish the free and unrestricted training Of the
children of the state at the public cost, as it
now exists, with no possibility of outside in
! reference control from any source whatso-
ever is all that should be put into the constitu-
ton. AS the future indicates the need, laws
may be enacted for carrying out this obligation.
Uniformity in school practice is desirable,
in some regards advantageous, but something
of danger may be discovered in any plan that
seeks to lay down a permanent pattern and re-
quire all to conform to it, Such means of re-
strcton will surely react against the schools.
Development is possible only where freedom
for the working out of individual ideas is
present.
Safeguard the fundamental requirements of
the, splendid system that permits the child born
in Nebraska to travel the way Of learning from
the kindergarten to the degree of doctor with
out cost or tuition. Make very sure that this
can not be disturbed, and let the methods re-
main subject to statutory regulation. Then the
schools will always be in the hands of the peo-
pie, their greatest and most sacred care after
| the preservation of the government itself

Passing Of the "Tiger."

The French senators and deputies have re-
fused to accord Georges Clemenceau the retir-
ing honor of term as president of the repub-
lic In this may be deserted the effects of do
mestc politics, adjourned to almost an ex-
elusive degree while the war was on, but now
coming forward with return of peace. Glenn
enceaus personal energy, zeal and capacity
his wonderful fighting qualities and his fanatic
devotion to France, saved the nation. 1t was
to him the people turned in the darkest day Of
the war; that he is now set aside should not be
taken as proof that his service is already for
gotten. If anything, the action signifies that a
coalition of elements not natural afinites is
too much for him. Radical socialists, ultra-lib-
erals and ultramontaines are united, as might
have been expected. France may be called
upon to repeat something of the experience that
followed 1871, but as Gambetta and Theirs out
lived the turmoil OF those times, so will Georges
Clemenceau survive the political shock of today.
His place in the life of France is secure, and
the future Guzot will.hnd rich material for his

The Will to Give

Roughly, it cost the United States govern
ment $325,000,000 to build the Panama canal
This sum included $20000Oo0 for sanitation
and $7,500,000 for administration When this
great enterprise was undertaken IS years ago
other peoples of the world marveed at it as
something that seemed too big even for this
rich country to take up itself financially. Mil
Mons Of our own citizens wrinkled their brows
snE wondered if we were not biting off" more
han we could chew"
In the light of events of the last three years
how very much less impressive, financially
speaking, has the building of the canal become.
This brings us to an interesting comparison. In
ess than three years the American people
nave contributed outright to the Red Cross in
cash and raw or manufactured supplies as much
Is the Panama Canal cost to build There was
no dependence on bonds no deferred payments
Is we understand such payments in term OF
bonds.
II goes to show what a weti-to-do people
can do with very small measure OF sacrifice
when they set their minds and hearts to it. The
Red Cross symbolized, of course common
cause sround which unified purpose could
rally II required that kind of cause and pur-
pose to achieve the end sought.
The American spirit never so well expressed
itself as during its war stress period. 1t would
be great thing il some peace-time equivalent
could be found-and equivalent that would keep
the soul of the country registering at its best
Something OF the sort is desirable for its char
acter building and ethics-tempering virtues

A Terrible Charge.

Nothing more shocking has come out in con-
nection with the war than is contained in the
startling statement made by Admiral Sims to
the senate's subcommittee. If it be true that
he was told we would as soon fight the British
as the Central Powers" after Our country had
soennly declared war on Germany and sum-
moned every man and pledged every dollar of
our wealth to our associates in that war, it is
such an act of premeditated treachery as is not
charged even against Germany. Americans will
be slow to believe that even so partisan an ad-
ministration as that of Mr.. Daniels could be
guilty of such double dealing, but they will also
fail to comprehend how gallant naval officer,
as Admiral Sims has proved himself to be,
could make such an assertion unless it has foun-
dation. Mr.. Bakers nonchalant explanation,
when chided for apparent diatoriness, that "the
war is 5000 miles away is pale and harmless
compared to this terrible charge. Bring out
the truth!

st. Paul, Jan. 14.-To the Editor
Of The Bee; Thinking that the
crime of robbery was becoming
much too frequent in our country,
/. about three years ago. through tne
kindness Of the governor OF my state
and of the United States Department

as to the means used In dinerent

though, of course, paroled prisoners
are under police surveillance.

This Is not done in our American

A more efficient and more num-
erous police force in our American
cities would be an important help
for the suppression Of robberies. Ad-
mira1 Dewey said that the United
States marine service was the best
service in the world. It's officers and
men, like those in the regular army,
can after 80 years service and at the
age of 62, retire on three-quarters
pay for life. 1t would be true econ
omy to put the police in our cities
on just as good footing. 1t would
secure more efficient men.
I think that those who are at the
head Of our state and city govern
ments should take the initiative in
trying to effect improvements in this
matter. 1t would seem that, II three

THRIFT AND ITS USES.

"A pin a day is q groat year. and six
pence saved 10 . shilling clear" sang Poor
Richard in his Almanack. Today is the ami
versary of the author OF Poor Richard and his
homely maxins. and as such ushers in q week
to be devoted to the nculcation of habits of
thrift among Americans.
It is not strange that such divergence
should exist between the times of old Ben
Franklin and today. Then the scanty luxurcs
of life were for the few, and the frugal ex-
istence of the many gave easy emphasis to the
exhortation from the prudent. Franklin him
self affords the standard illustration of the bene
fit OF applying his advice. 1t was by thrift that he
attained to the competency which sustained his
eminence as philosopher and his usefulness as
statesman Life is easier now than then 1t
moves more swiftly, perhaps, but only because
its wheels are better creased But the necessity
OF saving has never been outgrown, no matter
if the habit seems to have fallen into disuse
Thrift does not mean parsimony nor is the
economical man or woman necessarily miser.
Careful management of the family income, to
the end that each week finds something of
surplus over ordinary expenditures laid aside
against any emergency, is only the wise course
pursued by the experienced business man, and
is the only way open to success. A savings ac-
count is an insurance against want, and what
may not be postponed until old age. Accident
or disease may thrust in at any time to inter
rupt or terminate the productive activity of
any individual Recognition of this fact aids
many to the goal Of safety,
So many avenues for savings are open, along
which the careful may move to comfort, that
choice may bewilder at first. Choose one and
follow it. You may have to deny yourself
something you want, but nothing you need In
the end you will be better off, for your accumu-
lations no matter how small, when combined
with others will provide tremendous aggregate
to be used in carrying on the wonderful enter
prses in which the nation is engaged.
The uses of thrift are unlimited, while its
practice is not difficult when once adopted Nor
will legitimate business suffer because the peo-
pie have commenced to save. More important
than all other considerations, the future safety
of the nation and the world depends on the
thrift of each individual citizen. Just as waste
and extravaganza is checked and production in
creased so will the devastation of the war be
repaired and civilization restored. Work ard
save is the only remedy, and should be the only
gospel.
