The Liberty loan will make liberty live. According to returns now coming in, the struggle for the Dardanelles was not entirely in vain. If you want to find a state officer, look for liim on the stump. You know, "politics is adjourned." "Sir Arthur" will be kept quite busy for some time, getting accustomed to the halo Br'er Har vey fitted him with. Do you suppose those bootlegger raids out west were staged to show the governor how Vigilant his agents are? Ferdinand of Bulgaria may prolong his stay at Bad Nauheira, seeing that things at his old om are going from bad to worse. Having determined the kind and extent of the kaiser's insanity, what will the alienists say f his son that he is a plain damfool? Wilhelm the Worried ought to be able to pick up quite a collection of second-hand iron trossei in Palestine and Macedonia these days.

A democratic war horse reminds The Bee that Congressman Shallenberger also opposed the selective draft Yes, and he several times ought to amend it so as to make it ineffective. The plan to unionize Omaha's police force may be deferred for considerations of patriotism until after the war. The same considerations of patriotism should govern after the war as now. "German arms are always kept, and there is Ttit supply," says one of the reports from the American army at St. Mihiel. Remember this when you come to subscribe for the Liberty loan. , The shade of Otto von Bismarck must have shivered as it listened to Chancellor von Herf ling's address to the Reichstag. Old "'Blut und Eisen" knew a better way of facing trouble than that. Governor Neville says Berlin is watching for news from the election. Just like it did in 1916, when the traitorous German-American Alliance was electing a United States senator in Ne braska. 1 Ak-Sar-Ben is at hand, with his few days of recreation after a hot summer of hard work. , Nobody will be criticized for taking a few mo ments to partake of the carnival in the spirit ; that prompts its holding. When the history of this war is written con siderable space will be taken to tell of how Allenby cleaned up Palestine and broke the hold of the Turk on the Holy Land. Ten thou sand years of recorded history has no finer tale. Coal Economy in Easy Lessons GERMANY STANDS AT BAY. Chancellor von Hertling exhibits a bitterness in his address to the Reichstag that is ascribable only to the recognition of inevitable doom. He has seen the star of the Teutonic empire blaze up in its aspiration to world dominion, and now watches it die down to the flicker of defeat. His denunciation of uneasiness at home as un warranted by the military situation sounds like the bravado of a leader who is desperately seek ing to invoke a spirit of resistance vanished from his followers. Leaving this phase of the situation to be illuminated by the war minister, the chancellor proceeds with utmost disregard, of established fact to reconstruct for the Ger man empire a character it forfeited four years ago. Specifically, he accuses the late Edward VII of England of conniving to isolate Germany; blames the late czar of Russia with .having yielded to the war party, against the pleadings of Soukhomlinoff, the traitor who in the end shamefully betrayed Russia into the kaiser's power, and winds up with a savage attack on Clemenceau and Wilson. The Lichnowski pa pers, the Zimmerman notes, all the secret ar chives of German spy nests unearthed here and in other countries, and lastly, the infamous record of miserable intrigue with the bolsheviki the whole damning history of the German assault on every government not servile to the kaiser, is ignored by the chancellor, that he may berate his people for not accepting as gospel fancy tales of fictitious victories. Germany is at bay, its leaders holding in sheer delusion to a hope they know cannot be realized, while its statesmen are sadly seeking to make up a record for history. Von Hert ling's address to the Reichstag is nearest to an admission of defeat that has come from Bertin. John Ireland. A truly good man is gone, and Americans, regardless of creed or quality, will mourn for the death of John Ireland. Dignitary of the great Roman Catholic church, a prelate of dis tinction and honorable attainments, he was first of all a citizen of his adopted country. John Ireland went through the War of the Rebellion as the young chaplain of a regirhent of Minne sota volunteers, and no sacerdotal insignia ever after bestowed on him meant as much as the Grand Army button he wore so proudly. Zeal ous always in the cause of religion, he showed equal, if not greater, zeal in his work for civic betterment A champion of liberty, his advo cacy of the free school, efforts to secure the spread of enlightenment, labors for the recon ciliation of religion with the spirit of the age in which he lived, his simplicity of life and un swerving devotion to the cause of purity, brought to him such activity that it has been said his life was "as busy as the pope's and as stormy as a statesman's." John Ireland had many worldly honors as well as those bestowed upon him by the church, but none fitted him so well as the sobriquet given him in France a few years ago, that of "the people's pope." Here is a seasonable hint that anyone can understand, especially with a bleak autumn wind chasing the shivers up and down his spine to give it emphasis. The New York district fuel administrator give's especial force to his argu- ment by pointing out that a clean furnace will work a saving to the owner's pocketbook. Here is a sample of the direct approach to the house- holder's interest: "One one-hundredth of an inch of soot has me same power to resist heat as 1U inches of iron." - This is but one of the pertinent hints. The St flf tflf rnmtminirarirtn ia rirVi In infnfmiiiAn At the individual owner of a furnace will ao- Jeciate. They are worth repeating: "Care for vnnr nurn riMtr ftiie winter "Storm winrlnw. anrl stnrm rlnnre weine Litrips and such protective devices are econom- Tiai vi neat.

Moke frequently and in small amounts. .Never shake a low fire until a little fresh nas oeen aaaea and given time to ignite. rKeep a pan or kettle of water always tn i, health, beauty and economy." New York vserciiL Can't Pro-Germanism Be Shaken Off? Why should the hyphenated World-Herald keep on feeding its readers with stuff calculated to stimulate a demand for a peace short of vic tory? Why did it recently go out of its way to quote someone as saying the war would last ten years? Why does it pick out for reprint an assertion-that "even Austria-Hungary can support warfare on an enormously destructive and prolonged scale," and that "exhaustion of the European belligerents is still indefinitely in the future?" Is this a reflex of the German propaganda with which for more than two years the kaiser- coddling sheet sought to lull America asleep while the Hun throttled humanity? Has any one forgotten what a long time it took for the World-Herald to annul its office rule prohibit ing the use of the word "Boche" or "Hun" in its columns? Can it be that some folks are so deeply infected with the pro-German virus that they just cannot shake it off? Who Buys Liberty Bonds. The question, "Are the Liberty bonds popu lar?" may be answered in the affirmative. When the first loan was floated the conditions were such as did not especially attract small invest ors, who held aloof to a considerable degree, and yet the $2,000,000,000 was distributed among 4,500,000 subscribers. When the second issue was offered people seemed to have a clearer undertsanding of what was involved, and $3,808, 736,500 was taken by 10,000,000 subscribers, while for the third issue 18,308,325 purchasers bought $4,176,516,850 of the bonds. More thar. three times as many citizens went into the loan on the third offer and gave more than twice as much money as was realized by the first. This indicates that the bonds have been taken up by small investors, by people who can only take in the $50 and $100 denominations. No more favorable sign could be asked for the success of the fourth loan. In no better way can the people support the cause to which they have devoted their all. And when peace comes again the bond issues will not be found in the hands of great syndicates and corporations, but will be distributed among the commoners of the country. That's a good one, that headline in the Hyphenated, "Uncle Sam, and not Tom Hall, to run 'phone company." The only member of the Nebraska Railway commission who has been detonating notice to the federal govern ment to keep out of the commission's jurisdic tion over the telephones has been Vic Wilson. Why does the democratic sheet try to have it on Hall and shield Wilson? Of course, the fact that Hall was elected as a republican and Wilson as a democrat can have nothing to do with it. More than half the membership of our school board will have to be rc ' .ctd at the coming election. We would like to see all the candidates committed to a plan to reduce the size of the board and make it purely advisory with the conduct of the schools devolved upon a competent business manager on one side and an expert educator on the other. It looks as if the high-up powers of the Ne braska State Teachers' association had gone in for a policy of rule or ruin. We hope not Unchecked autocracy would be as disastrous in an organization of this kind, which is properly a democracy, as it is showing itself to be elsewhere Bight in the Spotlight. Denmark, one of the few Euro pean countries now at peace, will make merry today in celebration of the birthday of King Christian X., who has succeeded thus far in his efforts to keep his little kingdom neutral in the war. During the six years he has occupied the throne King Christian has increased the popularity he enjoyed among the Danish people as crown prince. Like his father and grandfather be fore him, he is a soldier, sportsman, and a democrat, but with little knowledge or love of politics. In 1898 Christian married Princess Alex andrine of Mecklenburg Schwer in, who is a sister of the crown princess of Germany. The royal couple have two sons, Prince Fred erick, who is now in his 20th year, and Prince Knud, who is about a year younger. One Year Ago Today in the War.

Johnny was at the grocery" store. "I hear you have a little sister at your house." said the grocer. "Yes sir," said Johnny. "Do you like that?" was queried. "I wish it was a boy," said Johnny, "so I could play marbles with him, and baseball." "Well," said the'storekeeper, "why don't you exchange your little sister for a boy?" Johnny reflected for a minute; then he said' rather sorrowfully: "We cant now; it's too late. We've used her four weeks." Philadelphia Ledger. Peppery Points Minneapolis Tribune: "We have just begun to right," says Black Jack. "We've just begun to run," defiantly shouts back the kaiser. Brooklyn Eagle: "All minorities are right," says Eugene V. Debs. The junkers and militarists of Ger many are a minority in this world, but that does not make them right. New York World: The Ameri can people are asked to save $6,000,000,000 more than last year for the war. The sum is vast, beyond the power of the mind to grasp but divide it by 100,000,0000. It is only $60 each more for some, less for others, according to their means and needs. It can be done.

Speeding Mail to the Front Brooklyn Eagle. American soldiers in the front-line trenches in France will receive their home letters within three weeks after mailing if plans now being worked out by army postal officials are suc cessful. Captain Frank E. Frazier, assistant director of the American expeditionary forces postal service in France, has returned to the United States to put into effect plans for expediting the delivery of American mail to the soldiers in France. lie said: . "With what has been done, or is now being done, to insure the prompt delivery of mail, there should be no occasion for delay or non delivery of letters to our soldiers in France if those writing them from home will realize that the slightest inaccuracy or obscurity in the ad dress of a letter is almost certain to cause delay and may result in nondelivery." One million letters arrive in France every day addressed to members of the American Ex peditionary Forces, according to an estimate of the military postal authorities. Steps to expedite mail from the United States to France, according to the statement, include: The turning over of complete military information as to the location of troops in France by the military authorities to the mili tary and domestic postal officers; the issuance of orders sending mail on every ship destined for any port in France organized to receive mail, and the adoption of a scheme of designation for groups of unattached soldiers sent from the United States to replacement camps in France. "A complete postal system corresponding to that in the United States is now in operation in France, with a central postoffice located at Tours," the statement continues. "This service, except the distribution and dispatch of mails to the United States, is entirely under military control. "In view of the duplication of names in the American Expeditionary Forces, the absence of any distinguishing designation for groups of casual or replacement men has been a source of ignation in the delivery of mail. Thousands of soldiers are being sent to France every month from this country for replacement purposes. It is estimated that 300,000 letters a month were delayed from this cause. This delay in delivery will not occur under arrangements which have just been made to have each replacement unit of 250 men, as it leaves camp in the United States given a distinctive company under which it will retain until it reaches a replacement camp in France. Every member of such unit will then be one of 250 men instead of one of one and a half million men. "The matter of the address to insure prompt delivery is of vital importance. The misspell ing of a name or the use of initials where a word should be spelled out may not only retard the delivery of a letter, but may prevent its being delivered at all. Many thousands of letters are being constantly received which cannot be promptly delivered, if delivered at all, on ac count of the manner in which they are ad dressed. "A letter for an American soldier in Europe should be so addressed as to show his rank, his full name, including his middle name, his com pany or battery and his regiment, as well as the branch of service." Cotton Due for a Jolt Washington Correspondence Brooklyn Eagle. Bernard M. Baruch, a suave and frequently smiling gentleman, whose principal business is to say "no"' when people want him to say "yes," and who is usually engaged in a battle with some person or interest that thinks the government's war restrictions are too stringent, is now lined up in a fight with the southern cotton producers that promises to be stirring. Mr. Baruch is chairman of the War Industries board and has just been telling Mayor Hylan that New York City must not build any more schoolhouses for the present. Now he is try ing to tell the cotton growers that they should submit to price-fixing, just as the wheat growers have been forced to submit to it. The cotton growers happen to have on their side practically every democratic senator and representative from the southern states, and these members of congress do not hesitate to say that they will use every influence to block Mr. Baruch's plan for a commission to stabilize cotton prices. If the southerners make good their threat they can make a lot of trouble for the administration, of whose party they are in fluential members. They hold nearly all of the important chairmanships in congress and they shape and manage nearly all legislation. But Mr. Baruch goes into the fight un daunted. He has the supreme war council back of him, and that means that President Wilson knows something about the business. Last December the southerners in congress side tracked a Baruch bill which would have given the president power to fix the prices on all necessities of life, whenever it was deemed nec essary. Since that time cotton prices have con tinued to soar, although there was a sudden slump about a fortnight ago, when Mr. Baruch put forth his price-fixing idea. It will be an Interesting fight. The southern ers hold the whip hand in congress, while Mr. Baruch stands high in the estimation of the president and has been given steadily increased powers, until now he is one of the big figures in the nation's war machine. If the southern members of congress think Mr. Baruch is easy they ought to consult certain Yellowstone park bandits who tried to hold him up three years ago. Mr. Baruch's party was traveling along with a caravan of Brooklyn school teachers, a good many of whom handed over their valu ables. Mr. Baruch didn't hand over anything at all. He just said "no" to the bandits, as he has been saying it here in Washington for a good many months. People and Events finish of the war in 1919.

Twelve members of the senate and 120 mem bers of the house registered as 18 to 45 draft eligibles. All expressed readiness to answer the call, but General Crowder said resignations must precede active service. Nothing doing in resig nations. Brighter beams the sun and moon and the night lights around Tammany hall these piping times. Women have been admitted to the inner circles of the wigwam. Even the executive teepee has been invaded. Henceforth the braves not only scrape their shoes before entering, but heed the admonition ere they speak: "Remem ber, there are ladies present." Of course, winning the war is the main task just now. That's a world job and we are in it. Still, some urgent national problems pop up and demand attention. Take, for instance, the prob lem of reforming the parade uniform of under takers. Shall the habiliments of woe remain somber black and the Prince Albert coat sym bolize the dignity befitting the occasion? Or shall the transition of undertakers to morticians be signalized by gayer raiment? A convention of morticians wrestled with the problem in Chicago, but neglected to tell the public when to look for the joyride. An American lying wounded in a wheat field was somewhat taken aback by the spectacle, in slow and stately approach, of a German officer. He was magnificent with medals and he wore a monocle. Every once in a while his impressive ness was spoiled by a nervous turn of the head and the suspicion of a squirm just as if some one were tickling his tail with a bayonet. Someone was, for, looking beyond, the wounded American saw a great, big. husky American negro prancing along, showing every tooth in his head. "Hi-yi, boss," he called out jubilantly, "Ah don know what Ah' rrt hut Ah', krlnmn1 it aivug i . "-D - (FA Unions of Government Employes. Omaha, Sept. 24. To the Editor of The Bee: Our city fathers might save themselves much worry and the community some annoyance if they would view the organization of firemen and policemen from the standpoint of co-workers and direc tors of labor rather than as bosses. The day of the latter is passing, if it is not already gone. A boss by any other name is just as offensive and intolerable. When we see the Commons of England, the metropolitan council of the city of London, the congress of the United States and such official and exalted bodies recognizing the right of public employes to unionize for the express purpose of advancing and protecting their interests, the wisdom of the Omaha city commis sioners in opposing such a step is, to put it mildly, very doubtful. Our commissioners, as well informed men. must appreciate that the status of the workingman today is vastly different to what it wa.i in the n i. Present-day world activities are ed ucating him, until today he ii - 1 keener and truer appreciation of his place in the social and industrial fabric than he ever had before. Jlen who have given the subject a good deal of thought, big men, men as sisting in guiding the destinies of great nations, concede that in future the man who works is not only con cerned about what his wages shall be, but also as to the conditions un der which he shall labor, about his working environments in general, about the management, if you please, of the work in which he is engaged in fact, about any matter affecting his condition and health as a worker and a member of society. The question of unionism was in vestigated a few years ago by the congress of the United States, and incidentally the right of federal em ployes to affiliate with the American Federation of Labor, and though congress is not going out of its way to favor the working class, it could find nothing vicious or dangerous in American citizens protecting them selves in the manner that seemed to them advisable and productive of results. The firemen and the police men are in the same position in which all working bodies find them selves at some stage of their exist ence, waiting patiently for the em ployer, the supervisor or the boss to see their wants and to apply the remedy, but they always wait in vain. Their silence is interpreted as content. If an individual complains he is a radical and dangerous to peace and quiet and a disturbance to be suppressed r;r removed. The only remedy left, then, is collective action. So that employers, super visors and bosses are the real insti gators and founders of unions. It is hard to see wherein the city worker differs from any other. It is the veriest moonshine to put him in a class by himself and fence him in. lie 5ias the same wants and wishes that I have, and they must be satisfied as mine are. His rb,!-i. tions are the same. He does not owe a whit more loyalty to the city than the railway mail clerk or car rier owes to the nation. Not a bit more than a butcher owes to Armour or a laborer to Swift & Co. Now, if the National War Labor board, which has as one of its presidents that big, genial, conservative W. H. Taft. says that such men have a right to join a union, and that this right shall not be questioned, it is not popular or progressive for our commissioners to tell this national board that it is altogether wrong on this question. If our commissioners would look at this proposition through p'ri glasses fitted by themselves and not by little local cliques who b....ev,- as firmly as any kaiser on earth that they were ordained to rule, they wntisee nojaicJjieajMsabnitv. but the wisdom, of encouraging city employes to wiioniite. They will find that It will be much easier to handle those men In the mass than as Individuals, that the men will have an enhanced appreciation of their work and of themselves and that the rank and file of the unions will see to it that no individual mem ber conducts himself in such a man ner as to reflect discredit on the city or on his brothers.

A soldier writing home to his mother says, "Germany will be legging for peace by Christmas." He probably meant to say. "begging for peace," but legging fur peace is good; in fact, that is what the en emy is doing right now. Fremont Tribune: Will American soldiers marry French girls? They certainly will, ac-ording to a woman correspondent, because American girls know nothing about cooking. By way of proof a letter is cited from an American soldier enthusiastically praising a little French girl of 10 years who cooked an excellent din ner when her mother was ill and won the soldier's heart. The Amer ican girl who can't even boil an egg has been duly warned. sultan late In August.
