could be maintained economic control need not be
dealt with, were in turn cast out by the riee of the
Nonpartisan leajrue, which grew from the aeeds of
hit wrontri.
Not even then was the strange and ainiater influ
ence of McKenzie eliminated. He rejoiced to ee the
downfall of the progressives and even made over
ture to the leaderhip of the league. It waa ponL
ble for the opponent! of the organized farmers to
charge that he was throwing his support to this
radical movement in return for various favors and
exemptions.
With him pauses one of the last of the boases of
the old school. A new public conscience Is springing
up which challenges both this economic and political
control.

SHALL THE KAISER COME BACK?
The Germans arc producing, arc working, are sav
ing. Tourists report that the chops and cafes are
filled with people who seem as prosperous and as con
tented as those of the allied countries, if not more
60. Why, then, this amazing rumor of the restora
tion of the kaiser?
Refusal of a British cabinet representative to
express any government policy in advance of a coup
by Wilhelm or the crown prince is equally startling.
The chaotic instability of European affairs could not
better be illustrated.
When the Hohenzollcrn dynasty was overthrown
a semblance of a republic replaced it. What really
happened seems to have been that the industrial- in
terests that ruled through the kaiser made a switch
and began to rule through the republican regime.
As far as the people are concerned, except for the
abolition of compulsory military training which was
forced by the victorious .powers their subservience to
the machinery of the state has been changed little.
Though the re-establishment of the monarchy
might affect internal affairs to a very small degree,
yet it would represent an open revival of the spirit
jf militarism and imperialism. Were it to be coun
tenanced by the people of Germany it would evidence
a clear lack of repentance and stir dreams of re
venge. The traditions of the German monarchy
should not be allowed to revive. Surely, when the
proper moment comes, or even now under the cloak
of secret diplomacy, Great Britain and France may
be counted on to checkmate this return from Doom.
GOVERNOR SMALL AT THE BAR.
When William Sulzer was impeached as governor
of New York his trial attracted wide attention. Dur
ing the last several weeks the governor of Illinois
has been on trial, not by impeachment but under con
ditions fully as serious, and his case has attracted
little attention outside his state. The reason presum
ably is the complicated nature of the testimony, the
presentation day after day of dry and dusty records
which can hardly be termed exciting or even inter
esting midsummer reading.
Governor Len Small is charged with technical em
bezzlement. If convicted, he might be sentenced to
the penitentiary. It is charged that, in co-operation
with others while he was state treasurer a few years
ago, he deposited state funds in banks in which he
was a stockholder or from which he drew interest in
amounts larger than that which he turned over to the
state. In particular, it is charged that, large amounts
of state money were loaned eventually to Chicago
meat packers, the then state treasurer pocketing a
good many thousands of dlars which the packers
paid in excess of what the state received.
The transaction is not entirely novel. Other
treasurers, of states and of minor governmental sub
divisions, have done likewise. Many have been prose
cuted any many found guilty. The amount involved
in Illinois was sufficient to make the total allegedly
embezzled run into the hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
Termination of the case means victory or defeat
for the Small-Thompson-Lundeen political machine in
Illinois.
LIVING LQNGER.
Almost everyone knows that the span of human
life is lengthening gradually. Nevertheless a reitera
tion of the fact stirs one's interest. There are few
who do not cling to their years of earthly existence
and thrill at every prospect of adding to the hereto
fore allotted number.
Dr. Royal S. Copeland, health commissioner of
New York City, is authority for the statement that
there are 3,500 men and women in the United States
who are past 100 years of age. Furthermore he de
clares that the average person should live to be a
hundred "with eye undimmed and natural force un
abated," provided he practice right living and right
thinking. He says:
Go back fifty years ago in New York City.
The average duration of life then was 42 years.
It is now 6S years.
A greater knowledge of our bodily ills and how
to cure them is partly responsible for this showing.
More important is the knowledge of how to avoid dis
ease, to which both preventative medicine and such
beliefs as Christian Science have contributed their
part.
At the rate we are going, it will be quite some
time before any one attains Methuselah's record of
969 years, but we are headed that way.
AN ERA DIES.
Readers of Rex Beach's novel, "The Spoilers,"
will have some understanding of the career of Alex
McKenzie, for this figure in the politics and exploita
tion of the northwest is said to have appeared in
that piece of fiction as one of the main characters
in the plundering of natural resources in Alaska.
Alex McKenzie lies dead in St. Paul, his home
for many years even while he dictated the course of
political and industrial events in North Dakota. At
his room in the Ryan hotel men who were counted as
leading citizens in the life of North Dakota reported
for orders and advice. There governors, senators
nd congressmen were made and the faithful put in
the way of fortune by speculation in land, railroads
and other utilities. North Dakota under him as pro
consul was simply a province of the Twin Cities.
Before that time McKenzie had established him
self at the end of the railroad in Bismarck, where
today a splendid hotel bears his name and the citi
zens are struggling to lower the rates of the water
plant owned by him. The roots of his power, dating
back to the crude pioneer days, were never entirely
plucked out.
During the progressive uprising the followers of
Theodore Roosevelt defeated his machine, but even
though they filled the state offices and legislative halls,
they were unable to steer affairs with as strong a
hand as the people demanded. These progressives,
THE VOICE OVER THE WIRE.
iou call a business houte on the telephone, and
your first Impression of the concern depends, not on
the manager or clerk whom you seek, but on the
private operator who connects you with the desired
department. No invention can do away with the need
for courtesy and intelligence in business life. A curt
or indifferent response or an unpleasant tone of voice
over the telephone can contribute much needless fric
tion, estrange customers and affect the fate of im
portant deals.
In the London Times recently appeared an ad
vertisement seeking a "gentlewoman to answer tele
phone; imt be courteous, even-tempered and
patient." Porsonality, enthusiasm and intelligence
were stated to mean everything, and either univer
sity or high school education was made requisite.
"I wanted a trained brain," the manager ex
plained later. "Answering telephones is a job that es
sentially requires judgment and tact." And he en
gaged a young woman university graduate, at a sal
ary compatible with her responsibility.
The patience and willingness of telephone oper
ators generally is not appreciated as much as is de
served. These are not a part of the mechanism, but
could be made increasingly important once the possi
bility were recognized.
NOT ON THE AGENDA.
"Bring me my liar," a French king was wont to
say when he wished to consult his history. Napoleon
later referred to history as a fiction agreed upon.
What then of the men who make history the states
men and politicians?
"I said in my haste, all men are liars," sang the
psalmist. This is far from parliamentary language,
and at those times when it degenerates from a
philosophical generality to particulars, never fails to
produce a great sputtering, very often ending in phy
sical encounter.
The code of honor of the old south, which called
upon one whose veracity is questioned to make a fool
of himself by engaging in battle with his accuser
quite properly was violated by Senators Glass and
Heflin after each had passed the fighting word. They
may both have been mistaken or both may have been
right; the point is public affairs were not advanced
an inch by their colloquy. The absence of violence
in the senate chamber is the only encouraging part
of the occurrence. The public is bored by the con
troversy of the gentleman from Virginia and his
equally gentlemanly colleague from Alabama. There
are more important matters to be discussed than this,
and the sooner personalities are dropped the better.
PRIDE IN OMAHA'S PARKS.
Omaha has several beautiful parks, the product of
the foresight and public spirit of its civic leaders.
Even the smallest of these green breathing spots fur
nishes grateful shade and relaxation. Picnickers,
golfers, swimmers, children and nature lovers each
find joy in them. Even though in these hot days
when the streets of the city are so oppressive the
parks are filled with outers, it is a fact that they are
accepted as a matter of course rather than as the
boon they are. That so many flowering plants should
have been stripped in the spring by those who visited
the parks speaks of a lack of pride in them.
If the parks were really appreciated, people would
not litter them with refuse from their lunches or in
jure their beauty in any way. Kansas City has just
devoted a week to the celebration of its handsome
park system that may be either the outgrowth or the
start of more civic pride. Band concerts, dinners,
decorations and ceremonies of many kinds were held
at which citizens dropped their business affairs to
consider the progress of twenty-five years of effort at
upbuilding the city's recreation facilities.
Omaha's playgrounds help make life worth living
here. They, too, are worthy of celebration and de
serving of more consideration than they customarily
receive.
LEARNING HOW TO LEARN.
Congratulations to Domminick Manoli, the only
Central High school pupil to receive the highest pos
sible grade in six courses. This is not so much because
of the knowledge he has assimilated, for he will for
get a good deal of that as the years pass by, but for
the evident ability to concentrate his attention on
the tasks assigned him. By the time he reaches man
hood, unless he becomes an engineer or a teacher, he
will lose his ability to work out problems of algebra,
become a stranger to chemical formulae, to historical
dates and many other facts that now seem so im
portant. What will stick by him is the habit of persistent
application, the ability to expand mentally an,d absorb
new information. Those others, girls and boys, on-the
honor list, have a similar advantage. Learning how
to study is the chief thing to be gained from school
after the fundamentals have been acquired. Yet who
ever heard of a school where the technique of study
was actually taught?
The story of Queen Isabella pawning her jewels
to aid Columbus in his discovery of America has
given an exaggerated idea of the expense of the
voyage. A historian's investigation indicates that
the total cost of the expedition was $7,250, and that
the salary of Christopher was $320, and that of his
sailors $29.25 per man for the .round trip.
The fever for standardization has taken hold of
the police chiefs, who have voted in their interna
tional convention for standard uniforms for all of
ficers. Which would all be very nice except for the
difference in temperature and climate. Surely some
thing may still be left to local judgment.
The longest day of the year having just passed,
we are now heading for the longest night, and soon
people will begin to' say, "How short the days are
getting."
A referendum election in Minneapolis returned
a heavy vote against military training in the high
schools. Compulsory pacifism, as 'twere.
There'll be about one more trip for the prince of
Wales, and that will be to the altar.

Harmony in Religion.
Omaha. June 21. To the Editor
of The Bee: There is much division
in the churches today. I think It
would be wise for the churches to
meet in conference and discuss and
settle their differences, even if it
should necessitate consolidation of
churches, as was attempted in the
late interchurch movement. All de
nominations are saying that they are
right in their particular form of
worship. Of course, all are entitled
to worship God as they understand,
but why the difference of opinion?
It is not necessary, according to the
teachings of our Lord. After all,
there is only one way to heaven.
As we are all supposedly traveling
that way, then why don't we try to
agree? FLOYD LOGAN.

supported the progressive party.
Hut that party was created by
ItooHevelt and when he returned to
the repuhllcnn party In 1916 It per
ished. Heforo tho purty was cre
uted, however, the term progressive
republicans began to be applied to
certain political leaders who were
opposed to the high tariff rates of
the Payne-Aldrlch measure, were
hopllle to large corporations, espe-
clitlly tho railroads, and were more
or less Insurgent against party or
ganizations. Senators La Follette of
Wisconsin, Cummins of Iowa and
Beverldge of Indiana were among
these leaders. This movement was
an Internal revolt against the repub
lican party of that day. inaugurated
largely by party leaders.
The term "progressive" Is now be
inir annlled to candidates for Im
portant republican nominations who
have won their fights against the
party organization. In discussing
the primary elections in Indiana
and Pennsylvania we said that
"these two victories may indicate a
strong trend toward progressiyism,
but we think that both are mainly
the result of a growing spirit of in
dependence among voters and a
growing antagonism to party ma
chines and machine methods." To
the extent that it appears to be a
revolt against party organization
this movement is in line with that
which developed in 1909 and 1910,
but whether it can be called "pro
gressive" in the sense of opposition
to party policies is yet to be seen.
The nomination of Pinchot was
uurely a state affair. National poli
tics did not figure in it at all. In
the same primary Pepper, a con
servative candidate for the senate,
received a very large majority. Op
position to the national adminis
tration did not develop In the elec
tion. Feeling against congress may
have caused the defeat of a number
of republican members of the pres
ent house who were seeking renomi
nation, but there was no evidence
of antagonism to Harding.

Brown has injured since, for he is
the finished nrodurt of their o,rm
pathy.
krnest Bush was horn tn TW.-
mark, and when 6 years old is said
to have stolen 300 Danish dollarR.
His parents soon after came to
America, settling at Loveland. Ia.,
and later moving to Omaha, where
they lived when Bush killed Silas
Bailey. They never lived in Red
Willow county, that being another
Bush family. His parents and sister,
who then lived at Florence, and all
his friends refrained from coming
to Benkelman. during his eight
months in Jail and during the trial
of the boy for murder. He said he
did not want them to "bawl around
me."
He had been in Wyoming before
that. He had also been chased out
of Omaha by the police for throwing
of coal off of trains for people to
gather up. He stopped in Rock
county, where he stole a gun, watch,
etc., from a Swede, and the authori
ties put him on a train headed for
Omaha, but he got off at Norfolk,
worked for a farmer, bought a horse
and went southwest, turning up in
Dundy county, later using his horse
to drag Bailey's body to the river.
Hence his telling of burglary in
Rock county when covering up his
incarceration for murder when ques
tioned by the pardoning board last
July.
He told a German for whom he
first worked in Dundy county that
he saw cowboys kill a young man in
Wyoming, throw his body in a well
and divide his herd. He hid under
the sheriffs house one day while
shackled and before the county had
a cell, and crept far back on the
undug gronnd. praying for night to
come, when he would get out and
crawl to a blacksmith's shop and
file off the shackles. When first
apprehended, when he was trying to
leave before Bailey 's body was
found, he hid in a pigpen. He
swore on the stand that he had been
in every town in Nebraska on a
railroad. He was an adept at that
age, playing good to his keepers,
but watching and waiting for the
one good chance to escape.
I do not particularly blame the
present pardoning board, but I do
believe that no one should be par
doned against the wishes of those
who were instrumental in sending
him up. There must be greater care
in these matters. The law needs
amendment. If there are those who
claim that undue means have been
used by the prosecution let them
establish that fact. There is too
much of a soft, sappy kind of sym
pathy that turns criminals loose to
prey on the innocent and unsuspect
ing and not enough for those who
are menaced or injured by them.
The Brown-Bush case shows that
much, at least.
In the Bush case neither court nor
jury asked for his release. Not one
juryman has ever questioned his de
cision and consequent verdict. Sen
ator Norris, who was the judge in
the case, declared it very wrong.
James McParland, the head detective
at Denver, the man who ran down
the Molly Maguires in Pennsylvania,
said that Bush would make one of
the worst criminals in the country.
He said Bush had it in him. I think
he knew better than some of us of
leES experience. And surely he
knew better than those who boast
of getting Bush out of the peni
tentiary. B. F. J3BERHART.

Two Kinds of leadership.
Ktnm th I'hlraga Ially Nowa.
I'nlon labor has been getting two
widely different kinds of advice from
Its lenders at the t'tnclnnatl conven
tion. On the one hand Is Samuel
(tampers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, declaring that
rather than see suth antagonistic
conditions us now prevail among the
building trade unions In Chicago he
"would prefer that the unions repu
diate their agreements."
On the other hand Is John Donlln,
president of the building trade de
partment of the American Federation
of Labor, asserting tnat "not oniy
must the rights of the workers ne
recoenlzed. but the rights of every
other element should be equally protected."
Retween those two platforms is
exactly the difference that exists be
tween repudiation and the square
deal. Mr. Donlln realizes as com
pletely as does Mr. Gompers the po
sition of the building trade unions in
Chicago, but he sees a more honor
able way out.
"For years," says Donlln, "we nave
allowed the hired disturber to lead
us into strikes that were preventable
and were unjustifiable. . . . Put an
end to Jurisdictional strikes. The pub
lic is tired of strikes and lockouts
and the Institutions that make them
possible. Give an honest day's work
for a just day's pay and regain the
confidence of the public, which has
been lost because of the many un
necessary strikes."
Following the Gompers platform
of repudiation of agreements would
make the loss of public confidence
in union labor complete. The Donlln
program would restore that confi
dence. To the opinions of the
straightforward representative of
union labor the Daily News has had
occasion to refer on numerous for
mer occasions. Those opinions, while
not the least lacking in sympathy
with the full rights of labor, have
not ignored labor's duties and re-

Five years ugo the mlgrutory bird
treuty was ratified by -Canada and
the Culled State In order to pro
tect those bird thut winter in the
t'nited Stales and breed In Canada.
I'p to tho time the treuty wa signed
the birds were playing a losing game,
nnd gradually their numbers were
shrinking some almost to tho verge
of extinction.
But the five years of protection
thut has been given them has nl
reuily brought about the results that
were hoped for by the bird lovers
of Canada and the t'nited States
who urged the vasssgc of the treaty.
On one 10-acre preserve In Kssex
county, Ontario, a few years ago,
seven geese and ducks came to so
journ with the generous owner of
the property. The next year tho
seven returned and brought with
them 11 more. Kach year the flock
contlned to grow until this last spring
between 3.000 and 4.000 appeared.
The owner of this preserve, on
which the terms of the treaty are
carefully enforced, attributes the In
crease In the number of birds en
tirely to the protection given by the
treaty. By this treaty the open sea
sons for game bird! were made the
same In all tne states ana provinces,
and spring shooting waa prohibited.
Insect-eating birds, which are of
particular value In keeping down the
insect pests, are granted continual
protection.
Very apparently the treaty Is a
success, for the birds it was designed
to protect are increasing in number.
