PLAN FOR AN OMAHA BEAUTIFUL.
The proceedings onder way to open up a dose'
in entrance to Carter park should carry; a strong
popular appeal - The value of ,a park depends
largely upon its accessibility and the superiority of
Omaha's park system grows out of the very fact
that it provides nearby parks in close proximity
to the population centers. The parks that have
the advantage of natural watet should be specially
cultivated and developed, since it is the experi
ence of all cities that they make the most de
sirable and best patronized public resorts.
Some Jay we hope the plan once suggested
by Park Commissioner Cornish for a river frorit
boulevard, joining north and south parks, will be
taken up and pushed through. He advised ac
quiring the bottom lands along the Missouri,
from Riverview.to Carter-lake, for the purpose
of a driveway and connecting breathing spots
Overlooking -water all the way. The embellish
ment of the river front, furthermore, would do
away with the disfiguring junk heaps, coal piles
and lumber yards which at the present time make
the vieW at the main entrance to Omaha look
like an unkempt backyard and give the visiting
stranger a bad first impression that has to be
Removed by later inspection of the city.
We can have an Omaha beautiful in time, and
a not very long distant time, by merely utilizing
our natural advantages if we will only look far
enough ahead and work steadily toward that end.
Cotton on the Way Back.
King Cotton is coming down from the lofty
perch that was almost beyond reach, and his re
tirement is somewhat . disorderly. Principally
this is due to the collapse of a "bull" movement
in -New York, where prices had been boosted be
yond reason,' and against which the crop report
sent s series of high explosive. In a single day
the price dropped $8.50 a bale, and the total re
cession for the first four days of the current week
is put at $16.50 a bale.
Cotton is the one great staple of the country
that has so far escaped governmental regulation
Southern representatives in congress were able
to aecure the exclusion of cotton from laws that
gave the president power to fix prices, andjthus
the speculators were left free to work their will.
One result of this has been that on none of the
necessaries has the selling price advanced to the
degree noted of cotton and cotton products. Less
than four years ago the whole country was urged
to contribute to the support of the southern plant
ers. ''Buy a bale of cotton," wear cotton gar
ments, do everything to assist the cotton planter
to stave off ruin. Then, when it became neces
sary to head off ha grain gamblers, who were
sending the price of foodstuffs high above the
reach of the public, cotfon was especially ex
cluded, and the priee of 9 cents in 1914 went to
45 cents, and even 50 cents, in 1917. ,
For the present, losses fall chiefly on specula
tors, for whom little sympathy will be felt, as
their open attempt at profiteering removes them
from any consideration on this score. The inci
dent, though, should fores Washington to realize
that cotton is as proper a subject for price fixa
tion treatment as is wheat, corn, beef, pork, steel
or coal. .. .:.;.'.;.l!ftV ' V

' In the Cass of James Fryatt f
This is the second anniversary of the death of
Captain James Fryatt, executed by the Germans
because he sought to defend his ship from being
destroyed by, a submarine. On s trip through
tht North Sea Captain Fryatt tried to ram a
U-boat that had. mads an unsuccessful attempt to
sink his vessel Later he was captured, given s
hearing before a aummary cour-martial and
promptly shot as a "franc tireur." The outrageous
aspect of the case Ties in the assumption by the
"Germans that a merchant vessel has no right to
undertake a defense against a warship. According
to the plea of the Hun in the Fryatt case, if a
merchantman resist or attempt to escape it loses
all standing and becomes legitimate prey, with no
recourse. The real purpose, of course, was to
terrify captains of t commerce carriers, so that
they would risk loss of vessel rather than incur the
penalty of execution for "piracy" in event of cap
ture. Only one other outrage in the kaiser's long

. True War Spirit Among Workingmen, .
A ring of real victory sounds through Vthe
message sent by the Woolwich munition workers
to fheir disturbed and ill-tempered brothers and
sisters st Coventry: '"Strike, and you may go to
hell. Woolwich , will remain at work and earn
the right to, shake the hand of the soldier when
he returnC So far the merits of the matter in
dispute at the Coventry works are not fully un
derstood on this side, but it has to do with an or
der of the British war council the workers are
dissatisfied with. Whatever it is, it can contain
nothing to give it such paramount Importance as
to warrant interference with the war by a cessa
tion of work. Absolute' proof is furnished in
plenty that the worker has more at stake, in the
great war than any other class. Hia status in
aft free countries, built up by ages of hard effort,
is threatened by the German ides, and if the war
is lost through his defection he will bS responsi
ble for riveting the shackles on his own limbs.
This is not a figment of fancy, for the condition
of the workingmen in Germany before the war
and now is the best evidence of how government
from the top deals with the masses. Workers
at the Woolwic arsenal have caught the spirit,
and give the creed forcible expression. It should
be adopted by all American workers. "Strike,
and you can go to hell; stay on the job, and you
can shake hands with the soldier when-he re
turns." "N ' '"y.

r Readers or crand WtMtlock a reminis
cences will recall his strong conviction, like
that bf "Golden Rule" Jones, of the weak
ness of thepolice and the injustice of the
police system. TheNtwo for time paid the
expenses of trial of all Toledo citizens ar

Mice were . . . apt to be a little more
caretui ot tne iiDerties or individuals, iney
halted the practice of arresting people on
suspicion, simply by .showing juries that
"there is nothing more absurd than that the
policemen should make criminals o( people
by merely suspecting them, and sending
them to prison on that sole account" As
Whitlock summarized.the results of the cru
sade, "the policemen of Toledo had their
clubs taken away ffom them, and learned
to help people, and not to hurt' them if they
could avoid it." " yhe reform: spread to
Cleveland, and has reached one American
city after another. People Tio longer say
"Call the police" merely when they want an
arrest, but often when they want help; social
workers regard the police as humane allies;
and innovations like the employment of po
licewomen are common. How the movement
manifested itself in New York in the last
administration, ex-Commissioner Woods de
scribes with intimate detail in his recent
Princeton lecture, now published in book
form.
The attitude of too many policemen to
wards criminals was once that of the deputy
commissioner who, asked by Woods what
he should say in a speech to Sing Sing con
victs, replied: "That's all right, go and tell
them you are glad to see them all there 1"
Policemen are not sentimentalists, and are
men of simple rather than complex ideas
upon their work. They have a professional
pride, and since the days of Peel they have
been told that the prime aim of their profes
sion is the punishment of crime. It has been
the task of reformers to teach them that re
pression is the aim, and that prevention is
nine parts of repression. With the Con
firmed criminal the only way of dealing is
to make detection as overwhelmingly proba-'
ble as possible, arrest as prompt as possible,
and trial much, more speedy than it now is.
But the natural criminal, as the scientists
who have destructively criticised Lombroso,
and laymen like Josiah Flynt, agree, is rare.
With Flynt. who denied Lombroso's tyoe-
marks, asserting them either the marks of
bodily and mental suffering in prison, 'or of
no significance, Woods partly afigna himself,
saying that he found too many in his own
face I Andt beyond certain limits of effective
ness the repression of crime by punishment
cannot go. Patrols may be multiplied; sig
nal service perfected; the detective force
kept unceasingly alert; the record system

improved crime will go on, and,, says Mr.
Woods, "we shall never go far towards rid
ding the community of criminals until we
get at the breeding places." One inspector
here has estimated the amount of crime that
might be stopped by the mechanical perfec
tion of conventional police methodsat 50
per cent nl the whole, and another at 1 per
cent But the casual criminal or man forced
into crime can be prevented from falling
into wrongdoing if society can surround him.
as well as itself with certain safeguards,
s The .citizen who leaves a door, unlocked,
or bis window open within reach of. valua
bles, or sticks; his wallet loosely in his
pocket, is a humble accessory to crime. So
is the business "house that tolerates the sus
pected employe without precaution. When
in recent seasons the hotels have bean great
ly crowded, managers as well as police have.
been expected to take measures against pick
pockets and confidence men. But this is
apart from dealing with poverty. , O. Henry's
story of the tramp who shattered a plate
glass window to find a warm haven on the
Island is paralleled by Mr. Woods', of the
man who, in 1915, hia family starving sent
a paving stone through a showcase Because
something had to be done, and he could
think of nothing else. ' When that winter the
city and the . charity societies did all they
could to keep men "on their feet," the police
assisted, furnishing coupons exchangeable
for provisions and hunting Work. Feeble
mindedness must be faced, and it is becom
ing a backward city that has no psychiatric
bureau to advise the police and judgesas
to this problem. Mr. -Woods estimates the
number of the mentally defective attested
daily here at 25, and admits that too many
are sent surely and unnecessarily into ave
nues of crime. The drug habit, estimated
to hold 200.000 persons in New York, is be
ing fought with the assistance of new federal
and state laws, out tne Dartie must oe long.
Nothing ..but drink makes more or more
hopeless criminals. Juvenile delinquency
must be handled as tactfully as ihe children s
court is beginning to do it; and released con
victs musttbe helped to a fresh start One
of them told Woods that "the only stuff we
can t stand is the f rodigal ion stuff; they
know it is the manly as distinguished from
the mawkish attitude that means the square
deal. . r
Mr. Woods concludes that we are bound
to have a preventive police because the
pubjic will demand it and will reward suc
cess;" a rather courageous statement after
the last election. It will not be easy, largely
because a "preventive police" implies not
only an internal reorganization of the policfc
forces of our cities, but a new relationship
between them and other city departments.
Expert methods of co-operation with the
agencies administering education, health, recr
reation, employment bureaus, and so on
must be learned before prevention will
amount to much. The old police department
was usually partly bad in itself, and partly
bad in its aloofness; it must change in both
respects. New York Post.

How London Wakes to War

It is 5 o'clock in the morningby set of

"Tri n1T ftld atnrv" wn ah idvll of pas
toral peace. Today the great world of Lon
don is waking to the grim realities of the
tm't anrt tn!l nf war. Because of the toll of
war the women who toil are as early afoot
as the men. At 3 o'clock the young women
who have the lights 0' London in their care
are on their way to extinguish the lamps.
Soon after 5 I meet brave little Waacs in
parties of twos and threes making their way
to the Tubes and the Metropolitan stations.
There are no motor-buses in Baker street
yet, and very little traffic. A railway van
rumbles by, a party of officers flash past me
in a motor car, and a couple of milk carts
clang out their "songs before sunrise."
7rt a quarter to 6 Moorgate street is just
rousinfuself with s yawn, but outside the
station a pretty railway girl in uniform with
roses in her cheeks snd forget-me-nots in her
eyes, is lying in wait for early comers to sell
them a flag for the Railway Benevolent in
stitution. At 5:50 my buttonhole has been
benevolently beflagged by the comely con
ductorette, and her brgnt smile haunts me
still. v I .
By Moorgate street and Finsbury square
I make my way to Liverpool street. There
is plenty of work -going on in the railway
yards as I pass, but the streets are deserted
except for a few laborers sauntering work
ward with their midday meal wrapped in the
conventional red handkerchief, and ' little
groups of charwomen boond for the buildings
and houses in the neighborhood and gossip
ing as they go, but with the langor of early
mom. . v ; . i
.-? Towards 6 o'clock a rivulet of humanity
begins to trickle into the city. It is made up
mainly of elderly and middle-aged men of
the laboring and artisan class. 7
At 6:30 I am in the apacious coffee room
of a big railway hotel At over s dozen ta
bles groups of officers are already breakfast
ing. . ' . , --
At 7 o'clock the great terminus Is s scene
of intense animation. The departure plat

a marked difference in the character of these
mighty streams of humanity that converge
upon London in the early hours of the morn
ing. The few young men in them seem to
be tossed to and fro like derelict spars by the
surging seas or femininity.
Soon after 7 there are hundreds of young
girls in the incoming crowds. Some of them
are not going direct to their Work. Their
offices and places of business will not be
open yet. and so the station waiting rooms
are packed with them, and many of them
una resting piaccs in - aucn oi me , city
entireties as open early for their accommoda
tion. : '
These girls sre compelled to come to their
work with time to spare. If they left it till
the last train they might fail to find room in
it then they would be late at business. This
fear of being late has a marked effect on the
attitude of the crowds that are now beginning
to wait for tramcars and motor 'buses. Every
where you seeanxious faces and eyes peering
eagerly into the distance.
There is a notable cjiange in the character
of the morning invasion as the hour ad
vances. The majority of the girls in the
7 o'clock crowd are young and pale and
poorly dressed. TJieir skirts are skimpy and
there is little attempt at finery. They carry
their midday meal in brown paper parcel,
and many of them have a well-worn paper
covered sixpenny novel under their arm;
At 8 o'clock there is an appreciable differ
ence in the type of inflowing femininity. The
girls are older. Many of them' are young
women and women who are not so young.
They are fairly well dressed, and they carry
their provisions' for the day in an attache
case Many of them have a novel in volume
form under fheir arm, and some have brought
flowers from the garden, it may be to adorn
their office desk, or it may be as friendship's
offering to a fellow employe of the other sex.
At 9 o'clock the young women who flow
in- graceful streams along the city ways are
quite daintily and fashionably dressed. They
wear silk blouses and carry vanity bags.. They
do not carry brown paper parcels or-camouflage
their food in attache cases. Their sal
aries permit them to lunch at a restaurant
By 10 o'clock the city and the West-end
are wide-awake. Londoners are up and out
and the great world of London is at work to
win the war. You have only to watch the
awakening of Lf ndon to understand how
great and glorious a part women are playing
in the world's fight for freedom. From east
and west snd north and south since the ear
liest hours of the new-born day a noble army
of women has been spreading itself over the
capital to be the working bees in ths great
hives of industry eonnected with the war and
the munitions of war. to take the place of
men in all the industrial, commercial and cler
