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

, 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

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

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

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.

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?"

then he said' rather sorrowfully:

Brooklyn Eagle: "All minorities

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

$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.

not only scrape their shoes before entering, but
heed the admonition ere they speak: "Remem

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

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

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. M. J. GRADY.
