"Internationalism" or America?
Ardent supporters of the League of Nations,
reviewing its late futile session at Geneva, con
tend that, while the assembly accomplished no
miracles, it did advance the general cause of in
ternationalism. Right along with this comes the
proposal of the International Chamber of Com
merce that the United States take a more definite
part in the restoration of Europe. Participation
by America in the soluton of problems growing
out of reparations is vital.
This situation deserves careful consideration.
It concretely presents the problem of "interna
tionalism" as it a licet s America. Old World
policies alone are responsible for the deplorable
state of affairs in Europe today. Not only did
the war spring from these policies, but the evils
that have developed since the war are attribut
able to the same source. The United States had
jjo part in bringing about the one, yet it is un
fortunately true that indirectly we have some
share in responsibility for the other. When
America had thrown the deciding factor into the
scale, and made sure of victory in the. war for
the Allies, a sincere effort to establish an endur
ing peace was thwarted by ambitions, personal
in a large degree, but fatal in their application.
Air. Wilson s misdirected altruism opened t
way for the intrusion of factors that now are rec
ognized as elements of evil.
, , Barga ning of the old-fashioned kind followed
consultations at which the ideals of justice were
flouted to sustain outworn systems of interna
tional relations. Imperialism did not die when
Germany sought an armistice and admitted de
feat. Intrigues have esince been exposed, and
. some of them Abandoned.- which looked to ex
tension of power, ' territorial aggrandizement,
commercial advantage, and other forms of ac
tivity in which the United States had no part,
yet to much of which we remained as passive
spectators, and by' all of which we would have
been bound had we entered the League of Na
tions, i,.
The United States has not pressed its foreign
debtors, nor is it likely to; generally it is recog
nized that only with the recovery of Europe, may
we expect any return on the billions due from
that source. Whcjher we are Interested to' the
extent of placing our own position In jeopardy is
the question. If "internationalism" means active
participation in the reparations problems, it may
also mean that German -bonds Will be accepted
by America as payment of obligations due from
England and France; thus not our credit alone
but our substance will be loaned to bolster up
the dissolving fabric of European nationalism,
which has not as yet exhibited in any degree that
qual'ty of "internationalism" to which we have
been asked to subscribe.
Are we selfish in seeking to aid Europe as
far as we may without becoming involved in the
chaos that has overwhelmed the nations there?
Is it not possible that we may be of even greater
service to the nations of the Old World by hold
ing fast to our present position, a safe anchorage
' for civilization, and providing for the future by
taking care of the present? The way back to
normalcy for the old countries is no harder nor
longer than it is for us. Industry is recovering,
and its convalescence will be the swifter when
the patient learns definitely that Uncle Sam is
no longer a fairy godmother.
Getting "Back to Normalcy."
Perhaps all the disturbance incident to the
war is not at an end, but certain signs, if in
terpreted aright, indicate that the public mind
is at least being stfered in the direction of "the
. good old times." ' For example, we note that the
discussion as to the relative advantage of day
air over night air is again holding away, with
the incidental consideration as to whether it is
healthier to sleep in a cold than a warm room.
Following this comes the perennial debate as to
how best to train young men for the ministry,
and the equally important and persistent contro
versy between the vegetarians and the meat eat
ers. Not a great while ago we were all willing to
breathe any kind of air that was free from the
raises of gunpowder and the like; yonng men
ere getting full and efficient instruction in r jw
to "kill twa at a blow," and anything at all that
could be eaten was eaten, for we were saving
food to win the war, and each patriotic mother's
son of us did his level best. Now we no longer
eye with suspicion the man, who puts as much
cgar as he likes into his coffee at the restau
rants, nor is it a source of guilty feeling to hare
certain rashers of bacon laid alongside two
lovely fried eggs m the foundation for a matutinal
repast Other things being equal, the general
tone of the public prints at least adds color to
the thought if a thought may be colored that
we are heading for normalcy."

Tar Barrel Morality.
How hatred can be roused and loosed by the
Ku Klux Klan in a community hitherto peaceful
is shown by events in Lorcna, Tex. Following
a riot precipitated by a parade of masked and
while-robed men the whole county is to be
lining up in two factions. The spirit of neigh
borliness and community of interest have gone
down before the force of suspicion.
Interruption of a parade of the Klan resulted
in the wounding of the sheriff and nine other
citizens, none of them apparently members of
the disguised gang, but merely bystanders. Re
fusal of the sheriff to allow masked men to pa-
rade through the village for purposes of intimi
dation unless he knew who would be responsible
for any acts of violence committed under cover
seems reasonable. The attempt to construe his
action as an insult to the flag which was carried
by the leader is a weak defense which will fool
no one who does not wish to be fooled.
Following the riot, notices were posted, as
if to explain the purposes of the procession.
warning against a number of crimes and mis
demeanors, ranging from chicken stealing to
adultery and including wife-beating and crap-
shooting. Unless the courts are to be discarded
or overthrown, these and all other violations of
law can be dealt with in an orderly manner.
There is no excuse for vigilantes in an ordinary
American community. The men who so care
fully hid their identity are-free to swear out
warrants and bring any miscreant to trial. Jus
tice docs not lie at the bottom of a tar barrel.
Nor is there any assurance of a high level of
morality among the marchers; it does not seem
unreasonable to suspect that private spite may
sometimes figure in their activities. Anonymous
rectitude, furthermore, has not the force of per
sonal example in right living, of obedience under
the law and of the minimizing of force as a cor
rective. What happened in this Texas town
could happen in Nebraska, and it should be made
plain that decent public sentiment is against this
un-American organization.
'Jimmy" Reed on the War Trail.
One of the greatest of Missouri's contribu
tions to the nation's magnificence is "Jimmy"
Reed of Kansas City, orator, statesman, and,
above all, denouncer, who is now informing a
pop-eyed world of the general and particular
shortcomings of the republican party, especially
with reference to its efforts to devise revenue
measure or to cut down expenses. Missouri al
ways has been proud of Lewis Cass, Thomas A.
Benton, its Marmadukes, Crittendens, and has
not always blushed when the names of Jesse
James or Quantrel! are mentioned. Further
more, the Ingalls apostrophe to "catfish aristoc
racy" is no longer suppressed, while the Champ
Clark . tribute to the hound pup is emblazoned
among the loftiest of the state's claims to great
ness. All these will hereafter play second fiddle
to the one-time mayor of Kansas City, who is
just now rounding out his second and, in all
human probability, his last, term as senator of
the United States. At the moment all the
forensic power of this most, efficient of denun
ciators is employed in showing up the effrontery
of the republicans in their unconstitutional ef
fort to reduce expenses by the simple expedient
of cutting down) appropriations. Perhaps, down
in his heart, "Jimmy" is not averse to saving
money; what he objects to is having "Charley"
Dawes tell him how to do it. However, the
country is becoming accustomed to the senator,
just as it has to Borah, and LaFollctte, and
Bryan and a few other of the beacon lightsand
whistling buoys along the course down which
the old ship of state is gliding. He will be sorely
missed, but some other will rise up when he has
gone, and thunder against anything and every
thing that he his not himself brought forth, and
the government atWashington will go right on
living. . --v

For Humane Society.
Ia the midst of many appeals to the kind
heartedness of the public comes a tag day for
the Nebraska Human society; Sixty thousand
red tags are to be offered ia exchange for volun
tary contributions at the street corners Satur
day. It is an easy thing to say that while human
beings go hungry or scantily clothed the con
dition of dumb brutes loses importance. Yet to
be atleto give thought to horses, dogs, cats
and thc'i other animals that befriend or serve
When TrageJie Touch Home.
The death of one human being may make
more of an impression, even on those to whom
he is unknown, than the death of a score in a
disaster of a general nature. One who is un
connected with the mining industry can Scarcely
feel the full horror of a holocaust in the pit.
The recent death of two small boys who played
with matches in a hayloft comes a great deal
closer to most persons. One nsay have a small
son or be attached to the child of a neighbor or
friend; and the mind flits to the possibility of this
accident occuring close at home. Sorrow, after
all, is individual Thus, one naturally will feel
more pity for the starving millions of Russia if
one knows even one person who is there and

A series of isolated casualties occurred in a
single day in the neighborhood of Omaha, any
one of which was under circumstances that are'
clearly apprehensible. At Kearney a youth re
turning from a hunting trip was fatally wounded
as he lifted his gun from his car, and. died in his
mother's arms. A runaway team . at Grand
Island dragged a country boy into the path of
a train. A farmer at Lushton, despondent over
his losses, committed suicide. And another man,
somewhat along in years, died of heart disease
while driving across country, leaving the car to
overtafn in a ditch and injure his family.
Not often are so many tragedies of common
life reported in a single day. Hardly one who
reads will not be touched deeply by one or more
of them, and in addition, Jeel a heightened appre
ciation for his own good fortune and that of
those he holds dear. '

Opinions based on posture have
fallen short of the truth. Measure

Omaha, Oct 5. To the Editor of
The Bee: I have Just finished read
ing jwur editorial, "Combating Traf-
no Perils," in this mornings Bee
have noticed freriuently since I
have been in Omaha editorials and
articles in the several newspapers
concerning this same subject, but
that Is as far as you go. You never
suggest an improvement in your
present traffic laws nor take any
steps toward having the proper ordi
nances passed remedying your pres
ent obsolete ones.
I notice at the head of your edi
torial column is "The Bee'B Plat
form." Under this hfadin you are
boosting some very laudable enterr
prises, but why not 'include in this
platform "Modem Traffic Laws for
Nebraska?" and promote the adOD
tlon by the state of a modern pys
tem of licens'ng motor vehicles such
as has been in effect in eastern
states for a good many years.
I have driven automobiles ever
since there were automobiles to
drive and have driven cars in the
lnrnrest cities in America, through
the most congested automobile traf
fic In the world, and I am frank to
say that I wns never aa fearful of
being hit at Forty-second street and
Fifth avenue1 in New York at Its
busiest period In the day aa I am
right here in Omaha. And why is
this? Simply from the fact that one
driving in New York, or any otfter
eastern city, knows that the "other
fellow" was granted a driver's per
mit something never heard, of out
here) only after he demonstrated to
the proper parties that he was thor
oughly capable of driving a car and
after passing an oral examination
and demonstrated that . he knew
what to do in all kinds of cases
where there are possibilities of an
accident. In Omaha any one over
6 years of age ran secure a license
for a car (not a driver's permit) and
eo out on the street with that car.
although he may never have touched
steering wheel before. To permit
such a thing as this is nearly as bad
as placing a gun in the hands of a
maniac. An automobile is an engine
of death unless it is handled by an
experienced driver, and why the
state of Nebraska will permit an
automobile on the streets or high-
Ways under the guidance tt a novice
is more than I can understand. A
few months ago I read in your paper
of a young l.idy stenographer who
had never driven a car buying her
self a coupe and going out In Dundee
here she rah a man down, ne sus
taining a compound -fracture of the
right ankle. With a properly or
ganised stae automobile commission
snd proper laws governing the Issu
ance of drivers' permits this could
never have happened.
The eastern o'der states have been
all along this line, and today have
regularly organized automobile com
missions with a commissioner who
gives all his time to the licensing of
motor vehicles and administration
of the laws governing motor vehicles
and traffic. They have developed
laws and rules to lit every case and
tu protect the public as far aa it Is
humanly possible. Above all, they
see to It that no inexperienced driv
ers are permitted to operate a mo
tor vehicle upon their streets and
highways. They have had years
more experience with congested
traffic conditions than Omaha or
the state of Nebraska have had. It
would be nothing detrimental or dis
paraging to this state to adopt the
traffic laws of one of these states
in total. There are several of the
eastern states that are famous far

"Where i it now?" His voice held

will be no answer to his question.

"Oh, you know, the whisk 'room,
1 ve got lint all over my coat.
"Isn't it in its place in the hall?"
she asked Innocently.
"In its place in the hall?" repeated
Jack with a vexing ironic laugh. "It's
place in the hall? Oh, has it got a
place in the hall?"
"You know perfectly well there's
a hook i'i the hall lor the whisk

Jill hastened out into the hall to
look for herself.
"Isn't that jut like a woman?"
Jack reflected aloud. "I toil her it
mi't in the hall on the hook he talks
about, and then she trols out thm
to take a look at the hook cs if 1
was blind or something."
Grumbling he followed Jill out of
the room and stood by will a sar
donic smile, as she looked beh!nd the
l at tree to see if the whisk broom
had fallen behind it. ihe whtek
broitn was not there.
"Let s see now. she whispered
half aloud, "it couldn't be up in the
bedroom." '
Not unless you Kit it there. Jack
hinted wickedly.
"I don t think I had tt tn then
last night." said Jill. "But I'll just
run up and see." But she returned
empty-handed. "Now, where in the
world could that naughty whUk
broom be?"
Jack tapped his umbrella im
patiently on the floor.
"Why don't you whistle for it," he
sug.ecs.tcd meanly.
Oh, tlon t be silly, said .us ini-

for it instead of standing there teas
ing me?"
"Did you look on the hook again ?
he asked mildly. "Maybe it has
come back."
"Sillv." said Till. She turned over
the cushions on the davenport and
looked beneath the chairs. 'Now
where in the world ?'' Then an
idea came. "Jack, dear, did you mend
the fire in the fireplace in the dining
room when you came down thi
morning?"
He gave her a lofty smile
"Of couac I did," he answered su
perciliously. "I don't forget things;
you know."
Jill bustled into the dining room
and he heard a little gasp. ,
She reappeared and the missing
whisk broom was found. She held it
toward him.
"See it?" she asked sattcilv.
"Sure," he said, but a little un
easily. "See those ashes on it?" she wcr.t
on relentlessly.
"H'm."
"No, you never forget anything.

WHY-
Do Bad Eggs Float?
One of the surest, tests of the
freshness' of eggs is to place all of
the batch in a large vessel of water,
where the strictly fresh eggs will
sink at once to the bottom, those
which are slightly stale will rise to
ward the surface and those which
are "bad" or in which the process
of incubation has progressed past
the point where they are unfit for
food, will come immediately to the
top.
This is due to the fact that a
freshly laid egg consists of a mass
of yolk, together with an outer cov
ering of albumin, or what we call
the "white" of the egg. This, being
heavier than water, will cause the
egg to sink. After a few days, how
ever, the yolk and the white of the
egg split up into other substances
which, in i..e course of time,- will
form the body of the baby chicken.
During this change, they produce
gases which tend to make the inside
of the egg lighter than water and
therefore, the shell becomes a min
iature balloon which rises through
the surrounding liquid, because the
egg does not weigh as much as does
an equal bulk of water. For this
reason, the degree to which an egg
tends to rise when placed in wa
ter provides an excellent index as to
its freshness and fitness for con
sumptionit being an infallible
rule that only "bad" eggs will float
