A decision handed down by Judge ftedick
on Saturday, confirming one rendered curlier
in the week by Judge L. B. Day, will have the
effect of working a great reform in policu
court practice. Not a little debate has been
heard at various times because of the ease with
which offenders, not all of them included in
"a certain- type," have slipped through the
meshes of the law between the police court
and the district court. Bonds given in cases
of appeal have been found worthless, defects
ranging all the way from technicalities to
actual worthlcssness of sureties. Not only has
punishment been evaded by the offenders, but
others have keen encouraged to disregard the
law because of the little inconvenience attend
ing when apprehended.
Criticism lias not served to remedy the sit
. uation, and the practice has continued to be a
source of scandal to the courts and discontent
to the community. A way is now opened that
will be a - little harder for the transgressor.
In the future any who wishes to take an ap
peal from the police court to the district court
will have to comply in full with the statutory
requirements. , J his includes the presence m
court of the defendant when bail is fixed.
Recognizance by attorney will not be per
mitted, bail bonds must be properly executed,
and satisfactory in their surety, and other prac-
Ttices whereby an easy way to escape nunlsh-
ment has been provided will be discontinued.

the matter of law enforcement in Omaha.
, With praiseworthy alertness the bankers of
. the cattle country in Nebraska's sandhills have
. set about utilizing the resources of the War
Finance corporation. The drain of the meat
supply of the nation which came as a result
of what can only be called the agricultural
panic is to be stopped by new loans to the
. t stockmen. Breeding stock and immature am'
' mals that were not ready for market neverthC'
, less have been shipped in many cases, sacri
fices on the altar' of liquidation. The money
with which to hold the remaining herds and
restock the range in a conservative manner is
shortly to be supplied as an investment rather
, han from bank credit
A good deal of the credit needs of agri
culture is " for longer duration than ordinary
commercial accommodation. With the War
Finance loans running for a year, and the pro
visions for renewal for a total of three .years,
a long felt need will be met Farmers who
had mortgage payments due this year that
were financed from bank credit often found it
difficult to renew, because deposits had been
withdrawn from the banks. Land bank mort
gages financed as investments have caused lit
tle trouble, either to the bondholder or the
1 farmer. .'' ' ; i. .

I.Certain things must be remembered in coping
with the problem of unemployment One is
that bread lines and soup houses are confessions
of the failure to solve the problem. Not that
their opening should be avoided or delayed out
of a desire to keep tip appearances, but that
other methods should be given a trial first
Out of the conference in .Washington will
come many suggestions for relict That is all
the application of these principles rests with
each local community. Perhaps a system of
government employment agencies will be re
established, but beyondthis the federal admin
htration may not go. No need looking to Wash
ington for help that can be best and most quickly
supplied at home. '
The important thing is that men should be
given the opportunity to produce. Under a
primitive form of society the man who lacked
clothing set about making cloth from wool or
went out in the woods and returned with skins
and meat Gradually, in the evolution of civili
zation, the ability to provide directly for one's
' needs has been destroyr d. The machine 'has
come in between man tvi the necessaries
of life, and the lesson of its control has not yet
been mastered.

Americanism and the Klan.
The Bee has two letters, dealing with the
Ku Klu Klan. One U from a young woman,
fur of whose cousin went to France in the A.
E, F and who had four brothers in the German
army. The other is written by an cirnctt, al
though not always temperate, critic of things
si they are. No question can be made of the
sincerity of these writers.
What The Bee wants to point cut. is that
Americanism is not measured solely by long
descent One of these writers speaks of "posi
tive Americanism, reverting back to the very
puritanical gencis of the birth of the republic."
Here is an unhappy allusion, for Jamestown
was settled and a legislative assembly h.id
been held there some years before the Tilgrinls
landed at Plymouth. A Virginian wrote the
Declaration of Independence, which holds the
best possible answer to the "Man's" claim of
infallibility in judgment of Americanism:
We hold these truths to be self-evident:
That all men are created free and equal; that
they are endowed by their creator with cer
tain inalienable rights; that among these arc
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
The "klan" proscribes certain men because
of religion; others because of race, no matter
where born, and others because not having
been born in the United States. Doctrine more
absolutely abhorrent to the genius of our gov
ernment, more completely subversive of its
principles or destructive to its end., was never
preached nor could, be conceived.
' Read the roll call of the army that marched
under Old Glory to victory on any field, from
Concord to the Argonne, and see what it
would be if the rule of the "klan" had been en
forced. A negro, Crispus Attucks, was the
first to give his life for the republic; a Jew,
Haymair Salomon, provided funds for the
support of the struggling Continental army
when other means could not be found. French
and German leaders fought under Washington.
On every page of the nation's history are writ
ten names that could not get onto the roster
of the "klan."
True Americans will be thankful that this
is so, and they will be further grateful for the
thought, that Americanism does not require
any defense at the hands of "terrors," "gob
lins," or "wizards," who do by stealth and in
darkness and disguise the things they would
not dare in daylight and before the world.
"At Home" in Hollywood.
If anything were needed to confirm the pub-'
lie in its acceptance of most 6f what has been
said about the immorality of the moving picture
colony at Hollywood, it was provided by the
reception given "Fatty" Arbuckle on his return
thither after his release on bail at San Francisco.
No objection will be raised against a man's
friends sticking to him when he is in trouble;
that is to be expected, and, however much they
may deplore his situation, it is natural they- Will
do all they reasonably may to assure him of
sympathetic support in his tribulation. Nor is
it-fair to pass final judgment as to the fullness
of a culprit's guilt until all the evidence in the
case has been submitted. . 1 ,-.
Agreeing tq all this implies, it remains true
that Arbuckle and his companions at Sah Fran
cisco had flagrantly outraged decency as well as
the law. Such details of the orgy at the St.
Francis hotel on Labor day as have been made
public are disgusting, fairly nauseating because
of the savor of bestiality that distinguishes them.
Arbuckle was the leader , in such debauchery as
rarely has been laid before the public He and
his companions exhibited such disregard 'for the
commonest elements of decency that they tran
scended even imagination in the "depths they at
tained. Respectable people would shudder at the
presence of such degradation, such moral and
physical filth, as is disclosed even by the guarded
accounts of the testimony given so far in the
case. ;.. , ,
. But when "Fatty" was liberated on bail and
journeyed back to his home at Hollywood, he
found himself lionized by foolish women and
men whose estimate of decency must be no
greater than his. A woman guilty of but a small
part of what is alleged against Arbuckle is an
outcast. What is to be said for those women
who struggled with one another to caress this
degenerate as he moved in triumph along his
way? Los Angeles may not be what it has been
called, "the city of the unburied dead," but it
certainly does sadly need a moral house-cleaning.
And some day "Buster" Keaton, "Bull" Montana
and their like may learn what real decent people
think of such monsters as "Fatty" Arbuckle.

New England postnustera in convention
auemhled dii ued among other things a ques
tion of manners. Can a clerk be too courteous?
It is reported that some of the men who handle
the will are inclined to answer the question in
the affirmative They say the clerk who patiently
ltrn to trivial talk by the people with whom
he deals interferes with business by preventing
other persons from reaching his window. It is
asserted that the man with the "grouch" keen

some of the postmasters
But back of tlii question of maimers are
others involved in the treatment of the public
by the man behind the postoffice window. The
tactful clerk will expedite the transaction of
business without giving the impression of dis
courtesy. He will please the man v. ho is wait
ing for his chance at the window without offend
ing the man who is induced to cut otf his idle talk
and move along. The man with the smile, if
he understands his business, can often . keep
things moving even more successfully than can
the man with the grouch. It would be unfor

There is a new deal in the postal service. Mr.

Practical plans have been outlined for securing

facilitating the movement of the mails, is shown
by the success that has attended the efforts of
Postmaster Baker in Boston to induce business
men to mail letters with greater frequency. To
do so is not only to respond to an appeal to
assist the postoffice in its work, but it is an
exhibition of intelligent self-interest. The letter
that gets there first is likely to be the letter that
sends back the order, which goes to indicate that
the letter that is in the mails is worth more
than two which are in the office waiting to be
sent to the postoffice. It is stated that there
has recently been a marked reduction m the
number of letters mailed at the Boston office in
the late afternoon, with a corresponding increase
in the number mailed earlier. That is a good
thing all around.
Why Taxes Will Be Reduced
. Before the constitutional amendment giving
women equal rights wuth men gets very far, the
ladies ought to get together on, whether in ac
cepting equality they are willing to give up such
special privileges as are theirs.
The Constitution of the United States was
framed 134 years ago this month. Considering
that it was drawn in secret, with both the public
and reporters barred, the founding fathers did
very well. " .
The cost of government in Omaha amountsJ
to $73.95 per year per person. That is all very

- The visit of General Wood to Japan ought
to be every bit as conducive to friendly rela

Charles G. Dawes, director of the budget,
has informed the War department that it must
get along with $60,000,000 less for the army than
it nroooscd and exoected.
He has instructed the shipping board that
while he realizes how great its needs, the con
dition of the treasury demands retrenchment,
and the board will receive $50,000,000 less than
screed unon.
The navy is hit harder. Its budget for the
next fiscal vear was $400,000,000. General Dawes
has removed $75,000 000. Secretary Denby and
bis admirals do not like the cut at all, but Fresi
dent Hardine has told them that Dawes is boss,
So they must accept his ax laid at their favorite
enterprises with the best countenance tney can
assume '
. The director has eliminated about
S300.000.000 so far. a million dollars' expenditure
a day for the next year. It is not fair to say
that he has cut out waste in that amount He
has taken out expenditures for useful and often
necessary projects, but what is useful without
being immediately necessary may be spared, and
what is necessary without being urgent may be
postponed. : - , ;
The senate finance committee has agreed
upon a revenue bill resembling closely the bill
alreadv oassed bv the house. The married man
with two children who has an income of $5,000
will pay $68 income tax instead of-$104., Ihe
married man with one child who has a $3,000
income will pay $4 instead of $32. The manu
facturer will not be under temptation" to restrict
his output because of excess profit taxes, the
millionaire to take his money out of industrial
enterprise because the government takes two
thirds of his earnings, and the railroads will not
add to their high rates a tax that still further
obstacles industry seeking to recover its stride.
For these reductions, let it be remembered,
congress must have authority in reduced expen
ditures. It is enabled to do what it is doing to
reduce the tax burden because the director of
the budget is reducing the costs of government.
