COMPROMISE.
With congress at recess and the Treaty of
Versailles where the senate left it, compromise
talk is taking place of extreme demands on part
of its advocates. Those who vehemently cham
pioned the League of Nations are scolding the
majority of the senate for not having accepted
the president's work, but even this is moderat
ing as the inevitable appears more clearly.
What form the compromise will assume is not
indicated, although it is agreed by those who
were deepest in the debate that the president
should move first. So far he has given no in
timation as to what concessions he may con
sent All realize that extended debate has
closed, that argument will be of no avail, and
that if the United States is to have a part in
the general peace it will be when the president
and the senate are brought to agreement Sev
eral ways of ending the situation has been sug
gested, but each requires action from the White
House. The sifence prevailing there may mean
that a plan is .being wrought out It is Mr.
Wilson's move.
What The Bee Stands For:
1. Respect for the law and maintenance of
order.
2. Speedy and certain punishment of crime
. through the regular operation of the
courts.
3. Pitiless publicity and condemnation of
inefficiency lawlessness and corrup
tion in office.
4. Frank recognition and commendation
of honest and efficient public service.
5. Inculcation of Americanism as the true .
basis of good citizenship.

Senator Lodge
8
i?
ft.
With; a jingle purpose always clearly in
view, a purpose conceived of patriotism as lofty
as ever inspired American statesmanship, Sen
ator Lodge, the leader of the republican major
ity in the United States senate, has now brought
well' nigh to a triumphant conclusion his efforts
to safeguard the independence of his country.
In whatever form the victory of nationalism
over internationalism is consummated, whether
by lhe . rejection . outright of the interwoven
treaty and covenant by the votes in the senate,
which' have been servilely supporting that inter
woven fraud, whether by its withdrawal from
pernicious existence by the same hand that did
the interweaving and thrust it upon the senate,
demanding its ' unconditional acceptance, or
whether by its reduction to. harmlessness
through the Lodge reservations and the accom
plishment of that which ; the . interweaver has
boastfully declared to be beyond the power of
man to do, the result is practically the same.
The honors of the victory go equally to every
senator, republican or democrat, who has helped
to make victory possible. But it has fallen to
Mr. Lodge more than to any other man to plan
the course of concerted action. It has been his
part to reconcile important and difficult differ
ences as to method among those, even who were
in patriotic accord as to general principles. His
wise head has been the clearing house of the
American opposition to the Wilson covenant. It
has fallen to him likewise, because of his title
of leadership and his unceasing efforts for the
nation's disentanglement from the future which
the president had prepared for it, to become the
chief target of abuse from the proponents and
organs of an internationalized America with a
supergovernment at Geneva. Today he can well
afford to smile back on those who have misrep
resented his motives, denounced him for petty
Solitics. ridiculed him as a wabbler, pictured
im as a partisan obstructionist. The end is
crowning the work. - '

Injunctions and Inviolable "Rights."
Delegates to the "labor party" convention
at Chicago boiled over yesterday, when prepar
ing a petition to the congress, asking impeach
ment of Judge Anderson of the federal bench
for having enjoined the officials of the United
Mine Workers of America from carrying on a
strike. The demand is based on the assertion
that Judge Anderson has invaded the personal
rights of 400,000 citizens,, seeking to deprive
them -of unrestricted exercise of those rights or
else become in contempt of his court.
This sounds formidable. It has fact for
foundation. The judge did undertake to re
strict these men in their action.. But why?
Four hundred and twenty-five thousand coal
miners, dissatisfied with the rate of pay al
lowed them, have determined to put out of gear
the entire machinery of the nation until their
demands are met. One hundred million people
are to be made to suffer because fewer than
one-half of 1 per cent of their number have a
grievance.
It has been reported, and on reasonable
authority, that some of these men have not
been content with exercising their undeniable
right to quit work, but they have insisted that
others ido the same. They overlook the con
stitutional right of another to work if he
wants to.
The whole thing simmers down to the
proposition that these men want to have things
their own way, and, whoever opposes them must
therefore be wrong. When men get so they
can look on both sides of a question, and cease
to concentrate on their own interests, they
may find that the constitutional guaranties to
which they cling so fondly also carry some re
sponsibilities. The right to strike is eqt to be
gainsaid, but a strike that brings so much suf
fering as that of the coal miners very soon
loses public support, unless it has a stronger
foundation than that it is legally permissible.
Break Up of Bolshevism
Missing Girls.
One feature of the latest local murder mystery
that must have impressed all who have followed
the newspaper accounts of the affair is the num
ber of girls whq are missing from accustomed
places; not only from home, but from the
haunts where they were known. Any of these
may have real reason for withdrawing herself
from friends and acquaintances, and the fact
that she has dropped out of their orbit is not
necessarily proof that she is in trouble or that
she has been doing wijoiig. .
The whole muddle indicates the careless way
ini which some parts of our social life are man
aged. Persons meet another in shop, store or
office, work side by side during the business
hours, -wash up, separate at the outside door,
and see 110 more of each other until another
day's work starts. Then,, when one doesn't show
up when the whistle blows, a momentary in
quiry is made, and the incident is forgotten.
Another has stepped in and the machinery
goes on.
Here is a murdered woman positively iden
tified as several different individuals, and rea
son to think she is none of them. Her case
is not isolated, for the story is told every
day in cities of the modern world. The girl
drops out of sight, never to reappear again. A
murdered body is sent to the potter's field, and
all that, is kept alive is the brief record in the
coroner's office. The problem is one society
in its present stage can not; dea with. When
men and women know each other. better maybe
a remedy will be found.
Distorted Notion or a Joke. -It
is quite probable that the Atlantan who
disturbed the meeting at which Vice President
Marshall was speaking by sending ina false re
port of the death of -the" president was without
malice in action. He thought it would be a
"good joke," with no realization of the serious
side of the affair. Every newspaper office is
famaliar with this man. He loves to send in
"news" over the telephone, or in unsigned let
ters, generally statements harmless enough in
themselves, but calculated to embarrass or
annoy the victi.m Why heaven sends such
fools to inflict the earth is unknown. They rank
with a number of other pests to whom no util
ity is ascribed, unless it be that assigned by
Josh Billings to corns, which, he said, make a
man forget his other troubles. People are pre
vented from exterminating them as they do
mosquitoes, flies and like vermin, but if there
were a real fool-killer in the world, we feel cer
tain he would how be somewhere along Peach
tree street,, waiting for a resident of Atlanta to
come out into the open.
" The result of the war justified the training
course adopted, according to the inspector gen
eral of the army. But if it had been put into
operation a year or two sooner the result would
have been that much more satisfactory.
A British flag has been trampled upon in
New York, which ought to evea up for the
affront offered the American flag at Rutland
by a Canuck. These little exchanges of amenity
are scarcely pebbles in the stream..
If we are still at war, and all the extraor
dinary powers vested in jthe president are yet
in his control why not exercise some of them
to set the mines into operation? . People need
coal as badly as at any time during the war. '
The way Nebraska- farm land is changing
hands suggests that a lot of successful farmers
are getting out of the game to give others a
chance to achieve a compete; J
From the Baltimore American.
. Even in Russia the soviet government is
rapidly taking on more conservative features.
Were the country opened to trade by the lifting
the blockade, the influences that make for the
alteration of the government would be in active
effect Bolshevism is a political nightmare and
a social disease. It is only possible in a coun
try socially and politically ruined and steeped
in misery and ignorance. It was possible there
only through the acute activity of menwhose
principal asset is malice toward human kind.
There is nothing that corresponds with the
conditions under which Russia went daft to be
found in any other country upon the face of the
globe. The efforts made by agents of the bol
she vist leaders of Russia to spread the g-Pl
of bolshevism have been an utter failure. The
terror that the name inspired when the Spar
tacans were carrying on revolts in Germany,
and when Hungary fejl for, a time under influ
ences of the same order, long since has passed
away. The nations did not go mad, the peo
ples did' not become insane, and so bolshevism
has failed.
In the elections in F.s;:ce . the reds have
been utterly crushed. Premier Clemenceau's
group of republican parties has at all points
beaten the outright radicals and the latter reg
istered the biggest vote they ever will again in
a French election. This election wrote the end
of discord and points the way for the full swing
of reconstruction. Bolshevism belongs to the
era and condition of destruction. That era has
proved short-lived in many of the countries
emerging froni the war. In the far future Ger
many will make a" great deal of its claim for
having Stamped out the bolshevist brands that
were leaping into blaze in western Europe. The
grip of the allies upon Germany did more to
stamp out bolshevism than any acts of the gov
ernment itself; nevertheless, credit will be
given the sense of discipline and order of the
German' people that kept them from falling into
the snare of the Lenine conspiracy. The elec
tion in France was due to the poilus, the vet
erans of the war lining up solidly against the
radicals. Here the last hope of the reds failed.
They were foolish enough to profess that the
veterans of the great wa would swarm to their
internationalist terrorist banners. The same
story is told in England, where the v premier
has given assurance that the bolshevist danger
for Europe has definitely passed.
In the United States efforts to create a labor
conspiracy with such shining ligts as Foster
of the steel union in action, atyi with a view
to bring under radical control the great groups
of . American labor has proven an outright
U fiasco. While the miners' officials talked strong
ly, when the test came they could not see red if
they tried. There was' no labor revolution, there
was 110 fight with the government, there was
nothing that the reds had counted upon. The
effort to bring about soviet conditions in the
United States has proven as farcical as most
level-headed persons knew it would. Labor
conditions remain as thev were before the tam-
Npering with them by the radicals. When the
miners and operators come to conclusions they
will do so under the compulsion of public sen
timent and various practical intimations of the
last word belonging to the consumer. The
reds ar.fj out of the reckoning.
Here is the record to date of the widely
heralded campaign of the bolshevists to carry
out their program of terrorism throughout the
entire world, and particularly to. lay their syn
dicalist hands upon the United-States. The
absolute crushing out of the reds is the present
employment of the government. This will be'
carried! to the point of making utterly impos
sible any coalition of conspiracy for the defeat
of the union of the states and peoples as one
and inseparable. The ignorant and malicious
reds, made up mostly of persons who are men
without a country, have been taught the lesson
that there is nothing in the world comparable
to the solidarity and power of the American
democratic , spirit. Those Russians who had
their opportunity in the land of the free and
yet long for the flesh pots of bolshevistic dic
tatorship and political .orgie will probably be
accommodated with transportation back home.

The Nearing Stars
Let those blind seers through the lying
lenses note the nearing of the stars! But this
they cannot do. How can tliejr whose viewdoes
not come forth fropi eyes of vision in the inner
self, whose circumscriptions are the ova! lens of
a projecting instrument grasp the fact that the
universe is in terms of orbit, that the light
sways with the undulations of a moving space
and that the entire range of the universe is that
of successive and graduated centrifices.
The nearing stars are those whose light, in
the circling movement itv makes as it leaves the
far off stars, and is deflected by the sun. in pass
ing, brings the stars closer to the view than at
other times.
The universe is made up of a multitude of
systems of light that swing through space in
elliptical orbits, ever , revolving in behest to
some goverirng forces of the light itself or of.
the star that organizes it. It is npt the vast and
understood place that science had made it ap
pear. , All is life where there is light and all is
motion where there is life. Light and life are
everywhere in the universe. . ,
Such are some of the latter-day views as to
the nature of the universe, and these views affect
the entire scheme of nature and of art and of
knowledge. Let these matters rest where they
may. and they are matters that wilLnever be at
rest in the whirl of surmise and of investigation
and hypothesis. Let the nearing stars stand
forth in their scintillating and prismatic splen

Cyras W. Field Centenary. .
Sunday, November SO, will be the
108th anniversary of the birth of
Cyrus W. Field, merchant, capital
ist, and projector of the cable which
"moored the New World alongside
the Old " Historical, commercial
and other organizations on both
sides of the Atlantic are. preparing
for an appropriate observance of the
centenary. More especially will the
anniversary be observed In New
Tork City, where Mr. Field, lived and
labored during the greater part of
his life, and at Stockbrldge, Mass.,
the place of his birth.
Cyrus W. Field was one of four
brothers who achieved wide fame in
their particular lines of endeavor.
The others were Justice Stephen J.
Field of the supreme court of the
United States, David Dudley Field,
member of congress and one of the
greatest law authorities of his time,
and Henry Martyn Field, who was
famous both as an author and
clergyman.
At the age of 15, equipped with a
common school education, Cyrus w.
Field came to New. York and started
his career as a clerk in the store of
Alexander T. Stewart. In 1838 he
becp.me a salesman for his brother,
who had a paper mill in Massachu
setts, and two yars later he enter
ed business a a paper manufacturer
on his own account. Within a year
his firm failed and he set about to
pay. the debts and reinstate himself
In business. In these endeavors ho
was so successful that within littls
more than 10 years he had wiped
out all of his indebtedness and had
enougrh left over to retire from'ac
tlve business with what was con
sidered at that time an ample for
tune. I
About the year 1854 Mr. Field
was solicited to invest capital iri a
project for the establishment of sub
marine connection between New
foundland and the North American
continent. It was while investigat
ing this matter that he conceived
the project for a telegraphic - cable
under the Atlantic to connect Amer
ica with Europe.
With Peter Cooper, Moses Taylor
and other noted capitalists of that
day Mr. Field organized and charter
ed the New York, Newfoundland
and Indon Telegraph company
For 13 years -he devoted his entire
time to the project, making many
trips to Europe, obtaining the nee-
ewsary concessions, soliciting addi
tional capital, and superintending
the manufacture of the cable.
Tn 1858 Mr. Field and his asso
ciates aw the reward of their
courage and faith. In August of
that year the first cable was cofn
plfted from Trinity Bay, Newfound
land, to Valencia, Ireland. ThiSA'a
hle, laid after four failures, was
2.500 miles long, weighed a ton to
the mile and the cost of .the project
was SI. 834. GOO. The line was open
ed with an exchange of greetings br
tween Queen Victoria- and President
Buchanan. For six weeks messages
were sent between America and i.u
rooe. but they were of an experi
mental nature, and the cable was
iifiver opened to the public. At the
j rtl-with an exchange of greetings be
i rln'vn utterlv. ; . 1
I Seven years uassed before the
work was resumed and the famous
Great Eastern made its memorable
vnvnse. The cable laid that time
parted after a single trial, and then
another year elapsed. The broken
ends were picked up and spliced and
from that dav to this cable commu
nication under the Atlantic has not
reaped. - There are . now . nearly a
score of tables between America and
Europe, and many more under other
oceans more than 230,000 miles of
ocean cable in all. !
In recognition of his eminent serv
ir.es the congress of the United
States voted Mr. Field a. cold medal
and the thanks of the nation. Great
liritain, France and other nations
likewise bestowed honors upon him.
Great universities conferred honor
ary degrees upon him and he was
elected to fellowship In tne most
prominent learned societies 01
America and Europe. -, '

How to Build a Bobsled. .
Br GRANT M. HYDE.
; The snow will soon be here and,
if we are to have a bobsled this win
ter, it is time to begin work on it.
There are many ways of building
double runners or bobsleds and.
since most boys know the general
plan, this will be confined to special
parts that cause difficulty.
Sleds Many boys build home
made sleds for a bobsled, but it is
FROM HERE AND THERE.
Black diamonds come from . the
province of Bahiu, in Brazil. Twen
ty thousand dollars was paid for th
fir est specimen known.
During the , last year there were
1.30B flies caused by cigars and cig
Rrets thrown away , in New Yoi k
alone. The average loss by fire is

Locusts are today eaten In Arabia,
pretty much as they were in the
time of John the Baptist. Foreign
ers as well as natives declare that
they are really ani excellent article
of diet. ' ' '
Nothing is wasted in Japan. Uses
to which straw is put are seemingly
endless. It is converted into bass
for grain, shoes for the feet, rain
costs for the body, roofs for the
houses, paper mats, screens, beds,
and numerous other articles.
The Wakmba, the leading Bantu
tribe in Uganda, are the most highly
civilzed black race in Africa. They
had a decimal system' of calculation
when first discovered by white nun.
They also understood -iron working
and had a considerable knowledge of

usually cheaper and better, unless
you are building a very large bob,
to buy , ready made sleds, taking
pains to get strong ones with large
round-iron runners, strong cross
pieces, and sound oak.
Plank One should really use
hardwood, but that is very expen
sive now and, if the load is not go
ing to be too heavy and care is
taken in selecting the plank,
straight-grained white pine will do.
Use the 2x10 size (really 1x9).
Lifts The lifts supporting the
plank should be very strong and low
to keep the weight near the ground.
They are sometimes made of 2x0
material. Another way is to .use
hardwood 2x4s as shown in the
sketch. Section A is a 2x4 about
nine and one-half inches, long and
section B is a 2x4 about 26 inches
long, shaped to serve as outrigger
support. Section A should be fas
tened to the top of the sled with
ringbolts or similar device to give
the sled rocker motion. Spike plank
to B. On the (front sled, the two
sections of the lift should be held
together by . a long one-half inch
kingbolt (C).! Build the lift of the
rear sled in the same way but use
two kingbolts at E and F.
Outriggers A bobsled should
have outriggers to save legs in tip
overs. The best material is 2
inch maple flooring, set on edge
and fastened to several crosspicces
shaped like B.
Steering-ySteering wheels or
similar devices are likely to weaken
the support in front or prove un
trustworthy. The best steering ap
paratus is a 1x2 oak or maple cross-
piece, at least two iecj long, acepiy
notched at each endT and j fastened
across the front' end of tne plank.
Cross the. ropes from the front sled
through the notches.
' A bicycle lamp and a bell'or gong
finish off a bobsled in fine style.

Making Popcorn Figures."
Pop some corn ' in as large ker
nels as possible and let it stand a
while so as to become tougher and
easier to work with. Supply each
guest with a dish of the popcorn, a;
pair of scissQrS and some of the fine
wire that is us'ed in making artificial
flowers. . . . '
The fun cbnsists""in stringing the
kernels on the wire so as to make
quaint and grotesque figures, people
and animals. The popcorn will have
shaped itself into heads, bodies and
other forms. It takes just a little
ingenuity for you to do the rest.

other inconveniences. '
'This method widens
your acquaintance with
husiness houses, firmlv
establishes your credit
and is a decided advan

your purchases. .
, Better still, it enables
you to keep an accurate
record of the cost of
living expenses and to
plan your expenditures
in their proper relation
to your income.
The constantly in
creasing number of cus
tomers in the Women's
