( HAPPY ENDING OF CAPITOL DISPUTE. The joint legislative investigation of the new state capitol has cleared up all the clutter surround • ing this project, and work can now proceed without being hampered by any of the differences of opinion and practice that have existed in the past. If ns a result of these hearings closer watch he made for possible economies, there will be a net gain to the people of Nebraska. No indication of any crookedness was found. Neither is there any report of “gross incompetence” or “gross negligence” which George E. Johnson charged against the designer, Bertram G. Goodhue. It is impossible to read the report and feel that the conduct of the architect was in any way different irom that which would have been followed by any member of his profession. In the single respect of ■ failure to ask for competitive bids on certain fittings where he desired a particular brand of workman ship does the committee use the term “negligence" in veferring to the architect. One recommendation of the committee js par ticularly useful. That is that the state appoint a deputy inspector to supervise the construction of public buildings. This is in accord with the law. . Too much should not be left to the architect to de cide. It appears from the evidence that the capitol commission relied on Mr. Johnson for this super vision, although he maintained that the architect himself should be held fully responsible. AU in all, the investigation will serve the useful purpose of putting all those connected with the new capitol on their toes. Mr. Johnson’s motives may have been selfish, but very often it is difficult to get the serv ces of men except through selfishness. HOW TO PICK POLICEWOMEN. Beauty, being only skin deep, and therefore likely to be marred by even a slight contact with anything unyielding or even harsh. Mayor Kohler of Cleve land has discarded it as a qualification for the corps of policewomen he is recruiting. Applicants are warned in advance that one “doesn’t need to look like a girl in the book,” for neither fashion nor beauty will cut any figure when decision is being made. What “Golden Rule Fred” wants is women who will measure up to a high standard of moral character, with good, sound judgment, and other proper qualifications for the work. “Women can be made useful on the police force,” he says. “There are plenty of places they can fill as well or better than men.” He does not want them for spies, either, but just to be plain po lice officers. Mayor Kohler is going in more extensively along this line than the head of any first-class city. Many times in history women have been employed as thief takers, no service organization is complete without one or more, and certain special forms or depart ments of police duty have been given to them with great success. In Clevleland, if wo have the right idea, the woman is to be made a regularly ordained part of the force, to walk the beat, keep the peace, protect property, preserve order and look after life and limb of citizens. Her qualifications in this line of endeavor will be tested by practical application. However, we do not believe that Mayor Kohler ■will entirely disregard the item of personal appear ance. Admitting that he is hard-boiled, and that he wants the seasoned, unimpressionable servants of the public about him, he yet is human, and there fore must be susceptible to some of the tilings that ■way humanity, and one of those things is woman's looks. FIFTY-FIFTY WITH OMAHA The city council has acted wisely in petitioning fhe state legislature to allot to Omaha a share of the automobile license funds collected in Douglas county. By the same token the board of county commission ers has acted inadvisedly in opposing such a legisla tive move. Last year the sale of automobile tag3 netted the county $421,00. This money was spent on the roads • nd bridges outside the city limits. Only by a techni cality can it be claimed that there is any reason why ' the residents of the city should not enjoy some direct benefit from their contribution. Omaha now pays 90 per cent of the cost of all county roads and bridges. It will have to pay 97 per cent of the $3,000,000 voted a few years ago for the construc tion of rural highways. Omaha is not complaining of this, but it believes that a stage has been reached where half of the sum collected for license tags can properly be allotted for the construction of boule vards and streets within the city. Certainly a time is coming when it will no longer be necessary to pour out the immense sums that are now being spent on county highways. A new era of economy in county government might be encouraged if the county commissioners db^ not have so much available for the spending. By all means let the legislature act. This is a special case, unlike any situation in other parts of the state, and it is not too much that Omaha should ask half of the lag fees that are collected in the county. One of the city's new patrol wagons, according to the superintendent of police, “Looks like a palace on the outside and like a box car inside.” We sub mit that that is not a bad way to have the vehicle in which the unruly and the disorderly are to ride. The Turks at Lausanne certainly know what they want, but whether it is granted them will de pend on how well they play the game. The president’* opponents may he uncertain fcbout the world court, but at least they know what Ur. Harding’* views are. California is discovering new supermen, hut what ever becomes of them after they are found is the mystery. Sea sickness will cure the dancing malady, it is asserted. Why not send a lot of them out to sea? That English painter who says the girls of today are losing their het^ty is only losing his eye. LO, TO HIS REST. Old Posey is dead, gone like a warrior to the j Happy Hunting Grounds from the field of battle. It was not a glorious crash of arms, no dash over I "No Man's Land," with the roar of hundreds of I cannon and the crackle of machine guns to give ; glamour to his passing. Old Posey was picked off j by a rifleman in a sheriff’s posse, but he died fight i ing. and the warfare he was carrying on was the | most effective he knew how to maintain. Old Posey W’as chieftain among the Piutes. Now’, 1 it happens that those Indians arc pretty near the bottom of the scale, ranking with the Diggers. I Nomads, restless, incapable, without arts or agricul | ture, they yet live after the primitive fashion of j savages, and feel the encroachment «f the white ; man on their desert domain. 'Hie old chief and I some of his followers made a final and ineffective i protest against what appeared to them to be impo sition and injustice. They violated the peace, took the war trail, a feeble and ineffective opposition to the law. Some were slain, some were captured, but their sacrifice has not been altogether in vain, for Secre- ; tary Work of the Interior department has set aside a definite argn to be the home of the Piutes. This j may be the means of securing peace in that far away corner of the Juab country, and the white settlers 'will be unmolested in their occupation of 1 tracts that may ho irrigated and turned into farm homes and the Piute left to pursue the grasshopper and other game, as he has in the past. Old Posey will soon be forgotten by a busy world of which he knew very little; his name may linger long in border annals. His death was ob- f scure, but not ignominious, and the worst that can be said of him is that he lived according to his light, and died us any real Indian would wish to die, fighting. A BUMPER CROP OF GENIUS. Concerning the commercial possibilities of Ne braska there is general understanding. What has not been so well understood is that balancing this material development there has been consistent progress in cultural directions. In every part of the state there are men who have made a conspicuous success in business. Nebraska has also produced many men of prominence in national politics. What is equally true but what is frequently overlooked is that this state is developing and harboring a note worthy list of authors, artists and musicians. Nebraska has no Greenwich village in which its gifted and aspiring creative artists gather. Their inspiration is in the prairies about which they are scattered. Some, it is true, have migrated eastward, feeling the need of closer communion with their kind. But there are others engaged in the develop ment of a native art and literature, who continue to make their home in these middle western com munities. They are to be found in York, Blair, Elm wood, Fremont, Falls City and other out-state local ities in addition to Lincoln and Omaha. The list, as added to 'ach day in the “nomina tions for Nebraska’s hall of fame” on the editorial page of The Omaha Bee. contains many revelations. Much has been done by Nebraskans in the field of art and belles lettres, and the seeds of still greater ae- j complishments are beginning to peep above the soil. Bumper crops are not unusual in Nebraska agricul tural history, and it would be possible to compile a , splendid list of captains of business and finance, but it is heartening also to realize the rise of the practice and appreciation of the arts in this plains state. HOW CAN YOU TELL A BURGLAR? Many, many years ago Frank Daniels had a good topical song, the refrain of which was, “How are we to know?” The query still is before us. For example, some of the expert character readers love to dwell on the symbol of the square, strong chin as indicating qualities of character most desirable. These pity the man of weak and receding chin. Yet just the other day it happened in New York. Detectives finally succeeded in running to earth a burglar, whose crimes had been numerous and daring, and whose cunning had baffled the police for months was none other than he whose clean cut | face, bright eyes, smoothly brushed hair, and square chin, whose picture had been used in the collar ad vertisements. Now, what does this prove? So far as the main point of the physiognomists is concerned, they may rightfully claim it support* their conten tion. The young man showed enterprise, misdi rected and unworthy of emulation, but certainly ex- \ pressive of initiative and capacity for conceiving and executing. A square chin, therefore, may be accepted a* a symbol of strong, aggressive, capable mentality, but does not carry with it any warranty of moral perception. On the other hand, some men with pointed chin* and some with no chin* have made considerable stir in the world, and have done it without doing any violence to the laws, moral or otherwise. This leaves us with the point emphasized in Mark Twain’s story of “The Jumping Frog of Calaveras.” You can’t tell by his looks how far a frog will jump. A tiny spark from an electric motor started a blaze that swept away most of a seaside resort, prov ing that a small matter still may kindle ft great fire. One of the annual surprises in Omaha is Mayor Jim’s throwing the first ball. And Jim once was a good shot! The United State* will sell no arms to foreign nations, but this is no handicap to private manu facture rs. A Texan man has made a record of lof> hours for continuous dancing, but what in he going to do with it? England may he bothered by a lot of things, but she always ban time to make merry over a royal wedding. Now watch the legislature fix up a compromise. !

One of the most wide-awake, enei get it- and public spirited citizens smiled Ills war lnlo our office, drew tlie spare chair up alongside our desk and interestingly entertained us with the following: "Here's something 1 wish you would tell folks in our home paper. The other day we overheard the old. familiar story: 'Oh, yes, U's a line looking school house, all right, but they might ns well tear It down for all tiie actual teachin' that goes on up there. 1 never went very far, but 1 could teach a lot more than is bein' taught. Basket ball is all my boy goes for. Teachers put in their time and draw their salaries, and—.' and so on as long as anybody is around to listen. It's the same old record that'* been worn out for years, but some poor b nighted souls are still playing It. "Well." continued our visitor, "the same old curiosity that killed the cat sent us sneaking into that high school building to see what really was going on—and we haven't got over the shock yet. We found a sophomore English class giving splendid oral re ports on various articles they h ad read from newspapers or magazines. Each one talked five minutes and their speeches would have done credit to the average college student, and the impromptu criticisms of each other's reports were wonders to us. We also found a senior class discussing with much thought and intelligence such topics as government control of mines. This visit converted us on the school question. For the sake of justice, go visit this 'playhouse' and then go try to find a place where more real work is being done." Subsidy Versus Subsidy. From tho Philadelphia. Tubhc Ivdser.

The existing 39 trade routes will |>e cut to 18. and these routes with jhe 4i>0 ships necessary to main tain them will be offered to private and American shipping interests. These interests will have a few months to make up their minds. If th*y fail to offer fair prices and to give maintained service guarantees, then, says the decision: . . . the government will proceed to direct government operation ag gressively pursued. The chances are that the govern ment will so proceed. The shipping , board will have no difficulty in selling j the ships now in sendee, to say noth ing of the idle vessels. Failure to transfer the ships to private owner ship will shove the nation directly into the freight cargo and passenger industry and reverse the Harding plan of getting the government out of business.

Nicholas Murray Butler, presi dent of Columbia university, on April Iti, 1023, in New Y'ork “aid among other sensible tilings, perilously near the absolute truth: "The world court Is an American proposal. It was brought forward first in 1»99 at the first Hague conference bv the Ameri can delegates. That conference was called by the czar of Russia to bring about a limitation of armament. They were breaking up In disgust because l hey could come to no atremient upon the subject, when the American dele gate^, headed by two men from New Y'ork. Andrew D.

It is well known by people in Amer ica that have looked into the matter, however superflcally, that the League of Nations was planned out first in New Y'ork City. President Taft was one of its supporters and framers, and went about the United 8taUs i f America giving lectures on the League of Nations. I heard one of these, and It was by far the best lecture I ever heard him make, and it did not seem possible that any sane man in the audience could ever again he against a League of Nations. It was a republican measure, born of ihc republican party, but adopted by President YYIlaon. It was not the League of Nations that was rejected by the American people, but a rarica. ture of that league, which has done more for the peace of the world since 191k titan anything known in all the history (if the ages of earth's groujis of lighting humanity. Amid the pas sions of races, increased by the World’s greatest war. over 00 nations have joined together to do their ut- i most to establish peace. While a few r,re still rampant for just restitution. the weight of the League-of Nations has thus far pr*-ser\*d peace, averting genera! wars, and giving us. even Americans, hope, that without our help these worthy nations are work ing towards the only salvation of ,1 world of human laissions. In 1919 the nations constituting tile league of Nations said rrpeatedly te America: "Y'ou may come in on your own amendments to the covenant." In agony lest the world night again lie hurled into the vortex of war. !he\ almost entreated us to Join them In their self sacrificing efforts, taking the colossal risks, which were greater than America s would have been, and left all questionable conditions open for our revision.

Omah —To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Arthur Brisbane in his editorial issues a warning to Pr^si dent Harding about switching to the League of Nations. I uphold the opinion of Arthur Brisbane in his views about the league. It is a warn ing to the American people against an entangling alliance with foreign nations. We had Euroj>ean prop agandists since the armistice trying their utmost to drag the United States into the league, but ?he> were unsuccessful At the pres ent time w> have the Honorable Lord Robert Cecil, South African repre sentative in the league, looking for support of the league Let ur not forget that the only thing that the European big powers are interested in is iron. coni, oil and other raw material, so they send their agents to the United States to sow the seed i.f prnpogunda about the league. So let us beware of the shrewd European diplomats and politicians and let us make them play fa.r and lay their cards on the table. Let us go back to the 11th of No vember. 191*. Why was England. France. Italy and Belgium so Anxious to grant the armistice to Germany. The Allied armies, with the exception ■ of the United States army, were nearly at the end of their rope. So America prepared to strike the death blow to imper.ahsin.
