The Normal School Jrllxup.
Tho avowed purpose of placing the
control of Nebraska's normal schools'
In tho bands. ' df iho . govorrior-ap-polntcd
board waa to keep theso' edu
cational Institutions out ot politics.
Instead of accomplishing that object,
howovcr, tho result has been to keep
thorn almost continuously In tho tur
moirof politics or embroiled in per
sonal contention.
It seems .to, us-tho reason Is not
hard to find, being tho porslstent
loading down of tho board with pro
fessional politicians and pcrsons.wlth
pets to promote or grievances to pur
buo. It Is sometimes urged that we
get men of higher caliber In such
places by appointment than we do by
election, but wo regret to hnvo to say
that our experience with tho state
educational board constituted by ap
pointment by tho governor docs not
bear out that view, compared, for ex
ample with the elective regents In
charge of tho stato university.

another stato of our population that

Nebraska does now It behooves uu

can bo brought about only by having
mon In charge not pnly equal to tho
task, but oilso unselfishly animated
by a mind slnglo to tholr best inter
ests. Elections' in' Mexico.
How can Mexico holdan election
whoso outcomo will bo rocognlzcd
and accepted by oven a niajority of
its people? Tho answer to that
quoatlon might help present condi
tions very much. It is doubtful It"
sucti an election was over held In
Mexico. It cortalnly is not possible
now with tho land Btlll Vent wltlr
wnr and, ono man, having' dissolved
the legislature In defianco of tho
constitution, exorcising tho powers
of a, dictator. It, evidently was not
posBlblo oven under tho more fnv
orablh conditions surrounding, tho
election of Madaro,' when with a'
pretense of pcaco over tho country,
out ot n total population of 15,000,
000, less than 10,000 votes were
polled all told. Yet that waa hailed
na a "popular election," In contrust
to those gouo bofore, and perhaps
In that roapoct It approached popu
larity, t)Ut such results are not very
significant of representative gov
ernment. Tho ratio in tho llnitod States is
about ono vote to six parsons of
the population, and according to
this ratio in Mexico the total voto
would be more than 2,000,000, in
stead ot lee than 10,000. While it' la
neither fall nor reasonable to sup
pose so large a ratio there as
here, Mexico ought to poll at least
one-tenth, as many votes, or not less
than 200,000. With tho Mexican
election Bet for Octobor 26, such, a
cursory glance at conditions might
serve to suggest something ot . tho
problem, confronting civilization In
our -neighboring ropubllc, and give
us an idea of Just how far to go In
accoptlng high-flown theories of
how readily tho whole Mexlcon situ
ation is going to bo worked out.'
Commercializing Festivals.
Quotations on turkeys at this sea
son reminds us of tlio tendency to
commorclalUo our feast days.
Thanksgiving, whoso simply origin Is
air but lost in the ostentation ot its
modern celebration, 1b used aa a lover
to pry up the prices ot fowls and Ilka
table delicacies, bo much so us to
nuke the turkey, linked traditionally
with Its observance, prohibitive to
most successors of the early pilgrims.
So, alee and upon an even mora
elaborate scale Is this .true ot Christ
mas and Easter, to the religious the
most sacred of our holidays. Tho
bonodlctlonpf Christmas giving may
become 'the burden ot oppression,
robbing the day of much of the Joy
bora of this spirit of giving. Easter,
with Jts glorleB of new life, ot vic
tory and triumph, conspires to put
fictitious prices on hata.and gowns,
vain pride Into gentle fomlnlnlty. and
querulous moods into masculine
minds, puzzled. to know where tho
monoy is coming from.
Then for the Fourth of July, to
such extravagant lengths have we
gone, to the oxtent ot Imperiling life
with our reckless fireworks, as
finally to arouse, a national appre
hension sufficiently earnest to sound
the alarm and call a halt. As the
lesson of patriotism Buffers under the
modern conception of the Fourth, ot
July, so also doubtless does the real
meaning of tho oher festivals go
misapprehended.
Yet, we must have our turkeys,
Christmas gifts, Easter hat and
gowns. "Vanity ot vanities, all Is
vanity.' No, there la grim business
In it, too.
Not much Interest Is manifested in
the fast approaching presidential

campaigns on behalf of the opposing
candidates, timed to reach a climax
at a psychological moment.

Downfall of Sulzer
Chicago News: Ono may conclude from
tho downfall of Sulzer that It does not
pay a politician to try to serve a political
boss and at tho some tlmo to pretend to
bo a champion ot tho public's Interests.
Philadelphia Records It may be that the
Tammany tiger has snapped off the
head or "Old Bill Bulser." but William
Sulzer put his head tn the tiger's mouth
by His want ot honor and his obtune
moral' sense.
New York World Wllllanv Bulzer was
Impeached by Murphy's assembly not for
what he had done, but for what he had
refused to do. Ho was convicted by the
court .of Impeachment not for what he
had refused to do, but for what ho had
done. It Is a Just verdict.
Philadelphia Bulletin: Public opinion
will lack little of unanlrgUy In its ap
proval of the verdict as Just. There will
bo a little sympathy for Sulzer; there
will bo much denunciation ot Tammany;
but the removal of such a man frtfrn
high office Is for tho good of the public
not only ot his state but of the entire
nation.
New York Tribune: The public Is little
Interested In the fata of Coventor Sulzer
as an Individual. His course Is run.
But It Is greatly Interested In protecting
legal Institutions from overstraining and
abuse for temporary purposes and Ui
circumstance of the vote on article 1,
altogether apart from tho effect on Gov
ernor Sulzer's personal fortunes, aro
caUBo for disappointment and regret
St Louis Globe-Democrat: While his
personal appeorunqe and numerous ec
centricities provoked pert comment by
tho press during his twenty-three years
as a legislator no nowspaper ever as
sailed his Integrity or sincerity. Hence
the revelations at the Impeachment trial
came as a shocking surprise to tho public.
It would be interesting to know whether
he has always been a consummate hypo
crite or whether his almost Insane desire
to bo governor of New York caused his
downfall.

A Letter of Appreciation.
OMAHA, Oct 21,-To the Editor of
Tho Bee: On Sunday evening, October 19.
the Jewish Young Pebple's society of
Omaha met In the vestry rooms of
Temple Israel. It was moved by Jeronie
Heyn, and unanimously carried, that a
letter of appreciation be sent to The Bc
for Its noble appeal to the public for
Interest and sympathy Inregard to tho
Russian blood accusation through an
editorial which recently appeared tn the
publication. ERNA L. HADRA,
Secretary,
Worries nt a Wife.
SARGENT, Neb., Ocli 20.-To the Editor
of Tlie Bco:,I read with Interest "Ills
Mother," by Virginia Terhune Van, Der
Water on your home magazine page. No
doubt such sad cases as she refers to tin
John's and' Tom's family exist, but is It
not the exception Instead of the rule as
she Implies?
My observation has been that men are
'moro earlly weaned from "home t and
mother" than are their sisters. Many: a
wife deplores tho thoughtlessness her
husband shows his mother and father,
too, for I believe fathers feel neglect, as
well as mothers.
How many times have I heard Ed's
wlfo ask him to write his parents and
not put it off another day, then perhaps
write them in good long letter herself and
tell them ail about Ed and his girls and
mall It secretly lest Ed should think
wife's letter released him from writing?
Perhaps Virginia knew this same
mother and felt sure wlfey was plotting
to prevent Ed writing home often.
Then I recall BUI, who lived on a
farm near the town where his old
father lived. Now farmer Bill went to
town perhaps three or four times a week
and nearly always saw his father on the
street. By way of suggestion his wlfo
often asked htm It he drove up to tho
house today to see mother. The answer
was almost Invariably "no,"
Occasionally Bill suggested going down
home to spend the. day Sunday. Greet
ings and short chat, then Bill read county
paper while wife assisted mother about
getting dinner.
By the time all was ready Bill must be
roused from his nap on the sofa. Dinner
over the women visit while dishwashing.
Bill leisurely wal)$a out of the back door
toward the barn and nothing more Is
seen of him until he comes In the front
door and remarks It la about chore tlmd
and sits with his hat on while wife donj
her wraps, '
This Is what the man calls a visit
Mother Is glad he 'seemed tp enjoy the
good'dlnner she was so' careful to prepare
to his liking. Bhe learned from wife
about her boy's .lame back, his crop pros
pects, amount of his .tax receipts, etc
Virginia says "A son's a son till he
gets htm a wife." I would add,- "He then
often shifts his filial duties to wife's
ahoulders." ESTHER a C.

INJUN SUMMER.
J. M. Lewis, Jn Houston Post
I love the Injun summer timet
It ain't too hot nor cold to climb,
An I kin play all day an' run
Outdoors bareheaded In the sun
Without a-gcttlu' ovorhet.
Or glttln' reckln wet tqlth sweat: .
Tho Injun summer tlmo la whit
I like. It ain't too cold or h6t 1
Tho .sun Is yeller, an' tho skies
In bluer than a sweetheart's eyes:
An klda can go barefooted, too.
An do tho things kids like to do;
They can jro swlmmln' In tho bay,
An' go away an' fish all day,
An their parents won't worry noa
For tear they get a touch of sun.
An' nights the moon sails through the
sky j
As big as any punkln pie.
An there Is punkln pies to eat
An' Injun summer tlmo Is sweet!
Tho summer's gone, an' crops Is In,
An' fattier always wears a grin.
An' mother's fruit Is In the cans.
An we've laid Off the hired hands.
It's Just so cool a kid feels good,-.
But not so cold you bring In wood;
If 1 was makln' seasons I
Would put the whole blame summer -by,
An I would tuck the winter In
Where I could not find It agln,
And then I'd only Just have spring
And Injun summer time, by.Jingl -
