SMI B1M1M1 The Omaha Hyphenated is excited, if it is not actually worried. "Politics is adjourned," but our democratic friends do not know it. "Big Jeff's" visit to the capitol is a coming event casting its shadow before. As a "no" leader Mr. Wilson is a success. Not an ally hesitated when he led off. Italy has not yet received an official copy of the Austrian note, but the answer is ready. What's in a name? Generals Read and Wright are commanding divisions under Pershing. A good place to put the knockers will be in the proposed Chamber of Commerce drum corps', It wilt not be "stand and deliver" when the Liberty loan squad calls, but "subscribe and smile." - The prospect of an American army of 4,800,- ... . . . . . f t 1. .1.- 000 strong will make tne Kaiser ieei wean m mc knees. Berlin claims St. Mihiel as a German vic tory. At that rati the kaiser has been winning all along the line lately. "Roy" McKelvie nailed another democratic slander at North Platte, but that will not stop the yapping at his heels. If the weather man will only trim ship long enough to get our climate on an even keel again all will be forgiven him. Iowa is moving for better methods of as sessing and equalizing valuations for taxation. ' Nebraska might well follow suit. No politics in the railway service any morel art , . 1 r AS.- t.L.!n -xas ri sari ntl PVPfV on everv dinine car X ' .-t . - ..." t 5 tti i-oi-iare. The food situation will require some atten- ...... a(,nrtlv Cnntml rather than reirula- MUii ncijr ouvwj. v-v....w. o tion will be needed to che the rapidly mount , ing flight of staples. ' The Nebraska State Fair finished with a sur plus, of over $27,000; some justification for its existence, as well as an indication of interest on part of the people. "Near beer" escapes the fate of the real thing . by a narrow squeak, so the wnuom toper in ary territory may continue to deceive himself by foaming beakers that lack "authority." General Morgen, who ordered his troop? to hold fast, and then fled himself to escape the Advancing Britishers, will not be hailed as "Gui morgen" by the soldiers he deserted. ONLY ONE BOSS FOR THE POLICE. In an army there can be only one commander, and in the police department there can be only one head. This proposition isjresented every time the attempt is made to unionize members of a police force or to bring them into any sort of an organization whose interest may clash with their duties as law-enforcing officers. In other words, no policeman can be safely put in the po sition where he has to decide whether to take orders from his superior officer or to follow the edict of his union. This does not mean that employes of the po lice department, any more than employes of any other department of the city, cannot associate themselves together for mutual benefit (in fact, in Omaha they are so associated in their Police Relief association), but it does mean that there shall be no side issues that may divert them from the faithful and whole-hearted performance of duty. So far as the feeling prevails that the posi tions carry inadequate pay to meet the stress of war times, the new home rule charter for Omaha, which is to be soon submitted for ratification, provides the remedy for both the police and fire departments by giving the coun cil power to make increases which are now ab solutely barred by law. The fact that these changes are substantially the only changes made by the charter framers is proof that considera tion is being given to the just claims of the men in these services. The charter cannot possibly be voted on until amended, nor can the payroll changes be legally made before the new charter becomes operative. If the police officers will look the situation squarely in the face they can readily see where their true course of action lies and where the lines run that they must not overstep. Food Prices and the Future. The soaring prices of butter and other dairy products may not be exactly typical, but will fairly illustrate one phase of the food situation. Under the food administration law the presi dent is authorized to fix a fair price for wheat, and sugar is under control through another device. Mr. Hoover within the limit of his discretionary powers has tried to set bounds on the prices to be charged for various commodi ties, but with little real success. Purchases on behalf of the government have been on such scale as to encourage high prices to private con sumers, and present market quotations indicate approach to famine exactions. Absolute con trol by the food administrator of all agencies of production and distribution, with rigid fixation of prices, may not be possible, nor is it desira ble, yet conditions tend in a direction that may lead to some such action. The cost of living is increasing faster than the ability of the people to meet it. Better hurry up with the building of that water main to Fort Crook if the; job is to be ,. completed this year. Trench digging does not (O very well in these parts after the ground it frozen solid. ' If the house revenue bill goes through, ship : yard and munition plant workers will be able to add occupation tax receipts to their collection f other trophies. It ought to be easy for them to pay dues to Uncle Sam. , Htodenburg's invulnerable forts are about as difficult to overcome some of ihe diplo macy the Potsdami gang undertakes. Sooner or later it all crumbles under determined as eault or careful examination. Now it seems that the Germans were all out of the St Mihiel lector before the Yankees came in. At least that it the Berlin version of the tale. One thing is certain the Huns were all out mighty soon after the Yankee boys did go in. That is, all that could get out. Partisanism and the World War. Confronted by a record of blundering in efficiency in handling the business of the nation, the democrats in congress and out are raising a doleful cry. Unless they are permitted to re tain the control of congress the war will be lost, When the present congress was elected the ap peal was that unless democrats were elected the nation would be plunged into war; with equal, and no more sincerity, the sachems of the unterrified have reversed their phonographs and have them all playing another tune now. Evidently they count on their abil ity to fool all the people all the time. The truth is that in no particular has the war program of the president been hindered by republican action; frequently it would have failed had it not been for republican support. Opposition from such democrats as Dent, Kitchin, Clark and others in the house, and from Chamberlain, Hitchcock and their asso ciates in the senate, has at times been so serious as to delay, if it did not defeat, the president's plans. The latest man power bill was held up for weeks because of the obstructive tactics of this element of the democratic majority. When the draft law first was before the house Speaker Clark relinquished the gavel and from the floor made a long but ineffectual argu ment against the measure. When the president sought authority to re organize the military administration he en trusted the measure to the judiciary committee of the senate, because of the unfriendly attitude of the military affairs committee, dominated by Senators Chamberlain and Hitchcock. And in the face of such facts the Omaha Hyphenated, with its malodorous record of pro Germanism, has the effrontery to shriek: "A vote for a republican is a vote for the kaiser!" Its inconceivable impudence was never more ' fully exhibited than in this. But the voters will not be fooled another time by this silly cry. One Year Ago Today in the War. British smashed for a mile through the German line east of Ypres. Formation of a regiment to spe cialize in the use of war gases, an nounced by the War department- at Washington. President Wilson named a com mission to act as his personal rep resentatives in allaying labor trouble during the war. . The Day We Celebrate. Captain Robert Muirhead Collins, for many years secretary of the De partment of Defense of the Aus tralian commonwealth, born in Eng land, 66 years ago today. Frederick MacMonnies, who has modeled a monument which a group of Americans plans to erect on the Marne battlefield, born in Brook lyn, N. Y., 55 years ago. Dr. L. Clark Seelye, president emeritus of Smith college, bom at Bethel, Conn., 81 years ago. Herbert Putnam, librarian of the library of congress, born in New York city, 57 years ago. In Omaha Thirty Years Ago. The result of a conference of Mr. Evans of the bridge company with Mayor Broatch was that all Council Bluffs be invited to join Omaha in a general jollification when the new bridge is completed. . The Econoric Tence Machine company have filed their articles of incorporation with the county clerk. The members are Arthur T. North, N. P. L. North, A. C. Wooley and C. S. Wooley. Their capital stock is $10,000. Mrs. G. W. Clark, the president of the W. C. T. U., left for Hastings, where she will attend the conference of the order. 1 Michael Gibbons has been ap pointed to a postal clerkship on the Union Pacific between Omaha and Ogden. Robert Green and wife have re turned from a month's visit to their old home in Peoria. Chance to End Tipping A New York woman of wealth has pledged ' herself to a "tipless" policy toward male waiters during the period of the war. Her reason is that male waiters should be serving the country and that women waiters are to be preferred any- how, , ., It has required more , courage than they possess for the American people to put an end to the tipping custom. With few exceptions ..they lack the nerve to face the scorn that is di rected to them when they omit to leave with the male waiter bit of unearned and unde served largess. ' . ' it t ' - The tipping business is all a matter of fool ish custom, based more on. cowardice than on common sense, equity and democratic propriety. Every employe, man or woman, should be paid in full for service by those who employ him or her. Any other system emphasizes the servant , idea, tends to destroy self-respect, sets up a ' false standard of rights and privileges, and - works an injustice on the public The public has its chance now to get back t male, tippees. The New York woman of wealth points the way. When ,the untipped waiter hurls his scoff or scorn at a dmer, the latter is privileged to come back with the quiz zical ga which asks: "Why aren't you doing '"something worth while for your country? Jiiiweajjcdia. Jribune, ' , . .. .J ' On the Macedonian Front. Events in Macedonia are worthy more at tention than has been paid to them for the last few months. The forward movement of the Allies on the Saloniki sector, attended by such success as to mark it as a major operation, holds much of vital possibilities for the victory that is coming now. A considerable group of thoughtful statesmen in both England and France has held for many months that the way to Berlin would lie through the Balkans and Austria. These were to some extent silenced by the ghastly Gallipoli campaign, the Rou manian collapse and the utter rout of the Ser bians. Now that the Turk has been upset on the south, and the Serbian army has been well reformed and become an active factor, with Greece as a vigorous participant, the whele as pect on the Macedonian line has changed its hue. Should the present forced retirement of the Bulgars continue, it must in time open the way to the Danube, thus forcing Austria to seriously assume the defensive there.This in turn will re quire the full military strength of the kaiser's principal ally and prevent sending divisions to the western front. Conditions in the Ukraine and Roumania are such as might easily lead to the active re sistance of either or both to German aggression and oppression. The whole situation is preg nant with such potential effect on the war situa tion that careful watching of progress there will be well repaid. Germany's back door is far from being safely guarded at this moment. Kaiser's Heir Prince of Failure Professional base ball is dead for the war period, but it is not so greatly missed locally. No professional wrangle exceeded the fuss the amateurs are now kicking up.

Storyette of the Day. "Isn't it glorious here?", she ex claimed when the waiter had taken their orders. ''Do you think so?" he queried. "It's perfectly lovely. Everything is in such beautiful harmony the fountain, the trees, the swaying lan terns, the music everything is ideal. It's like faryland." "I'm glad you like it." "I'm simply enchanted. Doesn't it make you feel as if you had stepped out of the everyday world into something strange and new?" ' "Not a bit." "What's the matter? You don't seem to be enjoying yourself." "My boss is sitting at the third ta ble over there to your left, and I can tell by his look that he's wondering how I can afford to blow myself at a place like this." Dayton News. Whittled to a Point Washington Post: Hurrah for the Yanks abroad and at home who started the great offensive of Sep tember 12! Baltimore American: After the American exploits in France, Friday, the 13th, will have to be counted among our tucky days. Detroit Free Press: The crown prince of Bavaria has been shelved, says a dispatch. With the rest of the canned goods, we presume. New York" World: General Pershing's fifty-eighth birthday party was a very successful event, even if some of the guests brought in were most unwilling. Philadelphia Ledger: Out of Pe trograd's sea of blood and anarchy 125,000,000 roubles in gold have gone to Berlin. After that the allies need have no scruples about hand ling the bolshevik! without gloves. Brooklyn Eagle: Members of congress are exempt from the draft and cannot waive the exemption. But any militant patriot who falls in re-election will be accommodated. This gives a decidedly new Interest to the November contests in all the states. New Tork World: Divine right has become wonderfully gracious all of a sudden. "Each of us," said the kaiser to the Krupp wjrktngmen, "has received his appointed task from on high, you at your hammer, you at your lathe and I upon the throne." When autocracy shares this heavenly distinction with so many. Is it proof of Increasing de- l mocracy or of multiplying tears X John W. Hsrrington in New York Times. Frederick William, crown prince of Ger many, was an innocent-faced, flaxen-haired child, shooting off the heads of girl dolls with toy can non in the imperial German nursery, when a witch flew in at the window and put into his hands a blunderbuss. ' "I am giving you this fine weapon," said she, "because it is so much like you. Its mouth is large; it makes a great deal of noise; its aim is uncertain; it generally fires itself when half ready, and it is more deadly in the hands of friends than when turned on foes." With these simple words, so the story goes, she whirled away through the air and was seen no more. How true was her estimate of the youthful HohenzoIIem has been shown in the great war, for the heir of the kaiser has invariably been on hand with military mistakes at the critical time. At least he has received the credit for the blunders whether or not he was really guiding the armies he was supposed to command. As a menace to the success of German campaigns, has has not missed a point in the game. He is known as the best friendly enemy the allies ever had. His being ousted by Foch from the Rheims-Soissons salient is the most recent of a long series of errors which have cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of his fellow-countrymen. "Undoubtedly this is a most stupid war," the crown prince said in a duly authorized interview with Dr. William Bayard Hale, when the strug gle had just begun, and he has made his words come true, as far as he is concerned, in more ways than one. Frederick William's weakness for putting on dress uniforms, so as to be ready to go into captured places at the head of h; victorious troops, is one of his besetting blunders He has the habit of not waiting until the hare is caught before making the hassenpfeffer. His first mis calculation concerns the triumphal entry of Paris, which did not happen according to sched ule. But, though the kaiser has not been able to provide any entries for him, such as Julius Caesar and Napoleon used to have, there have been plenty of telegrams of congratulation and awards of medals. It is said that on occasion the headstrong and ill-balanced heir has over ruled experienced commanders, making neces sary an undue haste to chide failure with medals. The first German drive toward Paris in 1914 was hardly smothered before the crown prince got his iron cross. That was soon followed by the Star of the House of Hohenzollern. One of the most wanton wastes of life in the war was at the capture of Longwy, and later when the position was abandoned by the army of the crown prince. The retreat was a hideous bungle which aroused even the horror of the German emperor. The story goes that he sent for one of the generals and berated him for sacrificing some of the best regiments in the German army in what could have been managed as a rear guard action with only scant loss of life. "It was not my fault," replied the general, according to a current version. "Your brat of a son insisted upon it." Whereupon, said the cabled account, the general saluted, turned quickly, and left the presence of majesty. While the kaiser and the attendants were standing more or less petrified with astonishment at the boldness of these words, a shot was heard in the anteroom to which the chief had gone. He had committed suicide. It did not concern Frederick William, whether such commanders as Hindenburg and .Mackensen opposed the grand assault on Ver dun, that ancient citadel nar the French bor der, which was so splendidly defended. There was nothing in any of his operations in the vi cinity which would have encouraged the crown prince, had he been a competent leader, to pro claim "We must take Verdun." He had the grand army of assault prepared. As a leader of the war party of Germany he spread the idea far and wide that the hour of France had struck. He swayed the judgment of the kaiser until from Potsdam came the boast that the end of the war was at hand. The Blunderbuss of the boche was driven back from his positions near Verdun as often as seven times a week. He had no grasp of the fact that the great natural fortification, trans formed from a mediaeval hold into a modern fortress, was capable of making unlimited re sistance. There was not a move for months to come which did not bear the impress of stupidity on the part of whoever was in com mand of the German forces and the crown prince is said to have been the dominant influ ence. ' Jefferia for Congress. Omaha, Sept. 17. To the Editor of The Bee: I am an Independent. I do not vote straight tickets. I am registered as an Independent. I vote for the best men, and that is why I am for JefTeris for congress. He is the best man to elect at this time to represent this district President Wilson must have a strong American congress, behind lilm. Jefferis is 100 per cent American, and he is in full sympathy with our cause. He is also able to properly represent this district and Its various interests. He has the talent and ability and can hold his own any place where big men meet. He is a prince ot a 1 fellow and will make a great con-, gressman. C B. UKiKfi.li, 3105 Dewey Avenue. There came stories that the hoodoo of the Hohenzollerns had been sent into seclusion, and the sane part of Germany began to hope once more that he would not again be giving aid and comfort to its enemies by leading armies against them. But he came back. Next he was heard of in Champagne and in other parts of northern France. He had lost his interest in Verdun, but he was very busy. "Fritz," to quote from a dispatch of the kaiser to the kaiserism, "was the first on the Aisne." . If he was, he did not stay long, ffor bulletins arrived before long of his flanks being ham mered to pieces and of rapid retreats, and then came the official publication of high praise for the famous victory that he had won. It is esti mated that the operations of the crown prince in 1917 cost 1,000,000 lives, and accomplished liftle or nothing. The princely dress uniform was all ready that year for the pageant entitled "The Tri umphal Entry into Rheims, Led by Prince Frederick William of Hohenzollern," but 60, 000 German lives were the price of the folly. It became thereafter an almost daily detail to change the place of the forces of the crown prince on the map. One of the mos ludicrous episodes in the nilitary career of this apostle of misfortune was is writing to the kaiser, from the banks of the liver Ailette, that he was moving heavy artil ?ry trains unnoticed because the rumble of wheels could not be heard amid the croaking of lyriads of frogs. But the frogs did not save iiim and his armies from a good beating. He was so harshly deal with by the subsequent drives of the trench that the kaiser felt it nec essary to make public a telegram to him and the German people. In this message the crown prince was again congratulated on bringing the assaults of the enemy to failure. It was neces sary to collect the usual group of scapegoats to allay criticism among the people at home. Truly the heir of the kaiser should receive a vote of thanks at the peace table of the allies for the many ways in which he has played into their hands. T. M. C. A. Room Prices. Pierce, Neb., Sept. 18. To the Editor of The Bee: Kindly answer in your paper as to what it costs to have a room per day in Y. M. C. A.; and also a week? Like your paper real well. Am xnxlous to know it as soon as I can go to Omaha. YOUIJ READER. Answer Rooms at the Y. M. C. A. in Omaha cost 75 cents and $1 by the day; $3.25 and up for single rooms (one person) by the week; $2.25 (per person) and up for double rooms by the week. A man living at the Y. M. C. A. for any length of time must take out a membership, which costs $10 per year. Rates vary in other cities, but rooms at a Y. M. C. A. can always be had at a reasonable rate. Milford Soldiers' Home. Milford, Neb., Sept. 18. To the Editor of The Bee: Mrs. Bradbury, the newly appointed matron of the Milford Soldiers' Home, has already established the excellent reputation she brought from Grand Island. She has diffused kindliness and the home spirit in kitchen, dining room and throughout the whole institution. Her helpfulness has been so mani fest that the members of the home believe in her they have found a friend who will do everything she can to make their stay pleasant and enjoyable. In anticipation of the winter the water mains have been relaid and a new centrifugal electric-driven motor will soon be installed that will at all times provide an abundance of hot and cold water. This con venience was much needed and will be a source of considerable satisfac tion to the members. A brick plat form has also been prepared south of the administration building for the cannon that in the future will announce the Fourth of July and otner patriotic occasions to the sur rounding country. The birthday of General Pershing was celebrated in an appropriate manner at the home. The main as sembly room was decorated with flags; there was music, speaking and a full attendance. The sentiment was everywhere expressed in song, speech and among the members that in this crisis all must stand behind the government. It is now for every patriotic citizen to help and, if pos sible, make the conflict "short, sharp ana decisive," but in any case it must terminate with Germany like Grant said at Vicksburg and Fort Donelson, in an "unconditional sur render." F. About Salvation Army Funds. Omaha, Sept. 18. To the Editor of The Bee: In reply to Francis A. Brogan relative to questioning the propriety of publishing anonymous suggestions, stating that thei: source is unmistakable, etc.: Now, Mr. Editor, when any organization has attained that perfection that it is above criticism, why, the order must be perfect. On the other hand, if an "unregenerate son of Ham" hap pens to see soma loose methods in handling funds, why should he be silenced? Of course, Mr. Brogan is a man of truth and veracity. It may be possible that an attorney might be mistaken, but in this in stance let the general public draw its own conclusions. While we concede Mr. Booth to be the organizer of this gigantic army, he was a man of only ordinary means, and when Mr. Brogan makes claim they have diverted hundreds of thousands of dollars of its own funds not collected from the public, even mortgaging its own property to raise funds, pray tell me, Mr. Bro gan, where these funds came from in the first place if not from the dear public? My dear sir, every dollar came through this channel save some endowments given by some wealthy people about to shuf fle off this mortal coll. Now I hope I may not be misunderstod when I assert that I am a contributor to this fund, too. I am holding three re ceipts for funds donated to this par ticular organization, and I have nc disposition to deride or cast any coolness on this grand organization; it deserves every dollar it gets, and it makes us weary every time anyone chances to criticise its loose methods In handling their funds thev must be jumped all over and classed as an onymous writers whose only aim is to destroy. While I agree they may be all honest, these are God's funds and Just as essential they should be guaraea as Brandie s or Havden Bros. JAMES HALK. Asks Votes for Boys. Omaha, Sept. 15. To the Editor of The Bee: Kindly allow me a lit tle space. I want to express my opinion in regard to the rights of men under 21 years of age. On Sep tember 12 thousands of young men volunteered their services to the cause of humanity. Hundreds, yes, Sidelights on the War Returned soldiers who have lost limbs are carried free on the street railway in Calgary. The helmets used by the allied soldiers in the trenches as a protec tion arainst the sniperi and shrapnel contain a considerable proportion of aluminum. No British bluejacket while aboard ship is permitted to whistle the na tional anthem or the Dead March in "Saul" unless it is being played by the band. Since the commencement of the war the time whistle has been abol ished in most of the lumber mills and camps in the Pacific northwest. The men now go to work in the morning and cense work in the even ing with the raising and lowering of the American flag. No troops undergo such a hard training as the French Chausseurs Alpins, popularly called "Blue Dev ils." In addition to the regular training for infantry they are taken for three months to the mountains, where they undergo a drilling that would kill or disable any but the strongest men. Among the thousands of sugges tions received by the invent'-ns board of the British war office was one from a "crank," who suggested, that all the birds should be con scripted. The writer's plan was to train cormorants to fly to Eesen and pick the mortar from Krupp's walls until they crumbled in dust. CHEERY CHAFF. "Doctor, you told my husband to get the fresh air."

They will be soldiers fn Uncle Sam's big army, but cannot choose their favorite men for the various public offices throughout the country. I ask you this, do you not think that It is only fair that these young men who are ready and willing to flsht for democ racy should also be given the bal lot? They can fight for liberty, but they cannot vote, and voting so that we can choose our own officers Is one of the things that liberty stands for. Let's give young men of 13 and over the ballot.

The town of Hamlin, New York state, is featured by the Rochester Post-Express as perfectly Germanized community.
