Abusing Roy McKelvie may console the democrats, but it is not gaining very many votes for Keith Neville. Why did Mr. Burleson ask for control of the telephones if he was going to let "Vic" Wilson run the business? , The kaiser still is doing his bit to help the ale of Liberty bonds, this time by getting licked in proper form. It will be a pity to awaken "Charley" Pool from his present sweet dream, but the voters will do it on November 5. We do not hear so much from the kaiser now as we did a little while ago about his strong word and his incomparable generals. "No annexations and no indemnities" must be painful to the bolsheviki, as they send out fold to pay Germany for war damages. Mr, Wilson is again being importuned to in crease the price of wheat, but he knows the cost of bread is now all the poor man can stand. It will now be up to the Omaha Hyphenated to explain how its owner is giving the president unswerving support except when he is fighting him. A lot of other democrats may save them selves trouble and the voters annoyance if they imitate "Red" Madden and withdraw from the ticket. Ludendorff is reported to have advised that the Hun retire to his hole, and if he does the Allies will take great pleasure in driving the hole in after him. 'The South Dakota farmer who took his town's allotment of Liberty bonds, just to show that he is back of his boy in France, deserves ;redit and imitation as well. "Jim" Slayden is not going to be in the next congress, but he is true to Texas in this one, 'raising his voice in earnest protest against fix ing a price or putting a tax on cotton. From every sector of the battle line conies praise of the work done by the Yankee boys. That is what they went there for, to do things that would astonish the world, and they are making good. 1.1 "Vic" Wilson refuses to lay down to Burle son until after the state rights question has again been submitted to the courts. This is another 'place where the democrats are giving cheerful support to the president. Uncle Sam is going to get after the "blue sky" boosters and give a lithe vigorous atten tion to wildcat promoters. Legitimate opera tions will not be interfered with, but the scaly Stock promotion schemes are to have hard sled ding hereafter. All the democratic chorus, big and little, throughout Nebraska is busy at present, ex plaining what a wonderful success Keith Neville has been, and how things are not what they appear on the surface. This is on the theory that you can fool all the people all the time. Duty of the Senate Unable to prevent an investigation into the " circumstances surrounding the purchase of the i Washington Times, some persons keenly inter ested in what sometimes is referred to as "the bought press" of this country are, according to gossip current in Washington, doing all they can to limit the scope of the proposed investi gation of the single newspaper immediately con deemed. In the gossip at the national capital ;. there is intimation that assistance for this limit " ing program has been obtained from members of the president's cabinet. If that is true it is something calling for "prompt action by President Wilson. If any out side influences are at work to limit its investi gation the senate should lose no time in run ning them down and in taking such action as "will thwart their efforts. It is reported that the same interests which appear in the revelations concerning the Wash ' ington Times have been active in other direc ;. tions. The trail of suspicion runs to Pittsburgh, Toledo, Detroit, and to other cities, including Newark, N. J. The vast majority of the news papers of this land are unbought and unpur chasable. Justice to them demands that the committee of the senate to which has ben in trusted investigation of the case of the Wash- V" ington Times be given fullest authority to fol--'""ihe trail of suspicion wherever it may lead: Vrdjes not only to the possible interest of ther newspapers, but also, and more V any relationship there may now fwy have been, between newspa Iresentatives of kaiserism in this DICTATORSHIP FOR GERMANY? Is Germany about to throw off entirely its pretense at constitutional government and be come once more the plaything of a military dic tator? This is broadly hinted at as among the prob able outcomes of the internal confusion that has followed on defeat of the armies in the west. After full allowance is made for circumstances that surround any news that comes out of the country, enough remains to support a belief that the political depths of the German empire are profoundly disturbed. Talk of establishing a government on a par liamentary basis is heard, but whether it can be accomplished is doubtful. On the other hand, the setting up of a dictatorship is rather easy to accomplish. The constitution of the German Confederation lodges in the hands of the em peror absolute authority for the defense of the nation. It was in the pretended exe -cise of this power that Wilhelm II gave the order for mobilization in 1914, and later directed the in vasion of Belgium. To defend the empire he must outrage the weakest of his neighbors! Unverified reports of resignations of cabinet members have been plentiful in the last few days, while the government-controlled newspa pers are urging their readers to be calm. A portion of the Centrist group in the Reichstag is said to be ready to form a coalition with the socialists to erect a parliamentary government. Such a move will undoubtedly be the signal for the declaration of a "state of siege" at home and the suspension of the constitution, with the kaiser as dictator. He would then be in name what he is in fact. Popular disturbances at Berlin will not tend greatly to our ultimate victory, because the German people have little or no genius for re volt. They have slavishly followed their lead ers for generations, and are not yet ready to break away from that leadership. Conditions outwardly seem to favor sterner government for the kaiser's dupes, under pretense of pre serving them from their foes. I TODAY And the Democrats Answered "No." "Have I said that the passage of this amend ment is a vitally necessary war measure, and do you need further proof? Do you stand in need of the trust of other peoples and the trust of our own women? Is that trust an asset or is it not?" These were questions put to the senate of the United States by the president in his ap peal for the adoption of the Susan B. Anthony equal suffrage amendment, urging it as an essen tial war measure. And the democrats answered him, "No." The party that is posing before the country today as the only one on which the commander-in-chief can rely for support in winning the war is solely responsible for the rejection of the measure. "I tell you plainly, as commander-in-chief of our armies and of the gallant men in our fleets that this measure which I urge upon you is vital to the winning of the war, and to the energies alike of preparation and of battle." Thus solemnly did the president adjure the senators, and be supported his adjuration with personal appeals to individual democratic mem bers. And the democrats answered, "No, you can not have it!" And among those who thus voted his delib erateopposition to the most earnestly expressed wish of the nation's chief executive was Gilbert M. Hitchcock, who misrepresents Nebraska in the senate. Pay of Public Servants. Omaha is not the only city that is having trouble with its fire and police departments over the matter of pay. Practically all over the country disputes of a similar nature have arisen. Kansas City, for example, is at the moment threatened with the wholesale resignation of its firemen because of low wages. Strikes have taken place in Cincinnati and Salt Lake City, and demonstrations of dissatisfaction have oc curred in many places. This is due to the fact that for many years wages of firemen and po licemen have been fixed at too low a point, com pared with what has been paid to men in other occupations. The sudden disturbance of values, incident to the war, found the employes of the several cities in a most unfortunate, and in many in stances distressing, situation. When prices of everything needed to support a family went soaring to twice and three times the normal and wages stood still, firemen and policemen were confronted with a most eerious problem. In Omaha, for example, the law fixes the amount that can be paid these men, limits the sum to be raised by taxation for the support of the depart ments and strictly forbids the incurrence of a debt in excess of that amount. Under the law the city commissioners are powerless to give relief where it is needed. Formation of unions will not alter this con dition, nor will a strike avail to put another cent of money into the city treasury. The only recourse is an amendment to the law. This may be made possible by the adoption of the new city charter next month, as it contains pro visions for higher pay for the city employes in volved, and makes provisions for increasing the funds available to meet the emergency. That is the problem before the city. Citizens gener ally are in sympathy with the plan to increase the wages paid, but until the law is changed no relief is possible. Right in the Spotlight. Crown Prince Charles of Rou mania, whose name has been figur ing conspicuously in the news of late, celebrates his 25th birthday to day. If recent reports he true, he is li'..ely to celebrate the anniversary a prisoner, f r 'tis said he has been sentenced by his father, King Ferdi nand, to spend 75 days in close con finement for daring to wed a Rou manian girl of the peasant class. The real trouble between sire and son, however, is believed to be due to the fact that the Crown Prince has openly opposed the policy of the king in concluding a peace with the Austro-Genuans. Prince Charles is an ardent supporter of the allied cause, as is his mother, the beau tiful Queen Marie, who before her marriage was a princess of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Her father was the late Duke of Edinburgh, second son of Queen Victoria of Great Britain.

Miss McCheane, principal of the Long school, has turned over $21.43 to General Lowe for the yellow fever sufferers. This sum was con tributed by the teachers and pupils of that school. At the meeting of the Irish-American Republican club a soft hat of light brown color was adopted as part of the club's uniform. John C. Wharton entertained the mem bers with a telling speech. John L. Webster followed with a speech full of meaty arguments favoring a pro tective tariff. The old Q street bridge fell down this morning.

Storyette of the Day. That tireless war worker. Lady Victor Papet. tells an amusing story of an enthusiast V. A. D. nurse who, in past day's, was an equally enthu siastic suffragette. At a base hospital "somewhere in France" she was bandaging a stal wart private, whose right arm had been mangled by a fragment of a German shall. "Do you know," she said present ly, "your face seems strangely fa miliar to me. I've been trying to remember where we've met before." "Well, nurse,' said the wounded man, "perhaps we had better let by gones be bygones. I was a police man.' I ov don Answers. Odds and Ends Lobsters' teeth are in their stom achs. A man's working life averages 40 years. The healthiest place to work is an oil refinery. Jackrabbits have been known to jump 24 feet. The ordinary swallow can fly 120 miles an hour. Humming birds use spider threads for their nests. The "daily run" of a mouse is about 10 miles. Nearly three-fourths of the earth's surface is water. The human body manufactures 10 ounces of water daily from the tis sues. More than half a million dollars Is given away to London street beg gars every year. The only wasps that survive the winter are the "queens." The work ers and drones are all killed off. It has been estimated that at 10,000 feet altitude kites and hawks can see field mice, their eyes being 20 times stronger than those- of man, The city of Metz, within sight of which Gen eral Pershing's army has taken up its stand, has been considered by the German general staff to be the principal pivot against France ever since it came into possession of the Germans in 1870. They have surrounded the city by a system of powerful defenses said to be the most extensive to be found anywhere in the world, and even in time of peace they, have maintained there a gar rison of 2j,000 or more men. I Metz is one of the most historic cities on the Lorraine frontier. It was known to the Romans I under the name of Divodurum. and in the fifth I ccnturv is was called Mettis. Earlv in the 10th j century it became a free imperial city, famous i the present time, and over 4,500.000 i time until near midnight every night for its commerce, its brilliant society and its love of letters and art. The river Moselle is joined at Metz by the Seille, both flowing through the city, and they are crossed by 14 bridges. The esplanade in the center of the city is a beautiful promenade. Metz has been fortified since 1550. Vauban nut up a heavy fortification in 1674. Under Napoleon III the works of Vauban were some what remodeled and a mrcle of detached forts begun, some of which were not finished when the war of 1870 brought the Germans to Metz. After the surrender, the defenses of Vauban and Napoleon's engineers were modified bv the new owners of Metz, thouih Fort ManteufTel (called by the French St. Julian) and Fort Goeben (called by the French Que'eu) were not altered in the general lines the French engineers laid down. Wing batteries were added and later these were reinforced by other batteries, either to defend the intervals or to dominate the im portant lines of approach, such as the valley of the Moselle. Then followed armored batteries, infantry positions, great systems of trenches, hundreds of shelters, and magazines to supply the lines and ways of safe communication. From 1890 to the opening of the present war the Germans kept on building forts, this time at a distance of about six miles from the city. These forts are of the newest German type, concrete and steel "and mounted with Krupp's most powerful fortress guns designed to take part in a distant artillery duel. Thinnville, fre quently mentioned of late in news of the move ments of the American troops, was turned into a powerful fortress. "Between the forts on St. Quentin, Mastein, Frederic Charles and Fort Al vensleben covered communication exists. Metz itself is on low-lying ground on the banks of the Moselle and Seille, but only for a very short distance. On the right bank a quar ter of a mile from Fort Steinmetz, the country presents steep hills and narrow valleys. The hills, which are very compact, are of all heights, from 100 to 750 feet, the highest point on the right bank of the river, on which Fort Manteuf fel stands. On the left bank the ascent is even more abrupt and attains1 higher elevation, St. Quentin being more than 1,000 feet above Metz. The high ridges form a strong natural wall against invaders from the west, as the defenders are in vastly superior and much higher positions. The siege of Metz in 1870 was begun by the Germans on August 19. Marshal Bazaine, the French commander, attempted several sorties which failed, and on October 27 he capitulated with two other marshals, X generals, 6,000 of ficers and an army of 173,000 men. tor the surrender of the city Marshal Ba zaine was tried by court-martial and unani mously condemned to death. President Mac Mahon commuted his sentence to 20 years' se clusion. He was sent to the Island of St. Mar guerite, but escaped August 9, 1874. His last years were passed in Madrid, where he died in 1888. Health Hints By flargeoa Owen 9. Mink, V. B. W., ftrnlor Medical Officer, Orml lake Station Another Karly Riser. Omaha, net. 1. To the Editor of I Chicken Pox. The Bee: If I?. .Meeker of Wayne chlck,nPox Is a disease which tn Neb., will come to the residenc e t f l" smallpox and a man over dO years of ae and fol- i many Ja .,M low the movements of that man for I Noble Words of Logic William Allen White in Emporia Gazette. "Politics," quoth our beloved president, "has adjourned!" And then up spake the democratic national committee with this nonpartisan slogan: "Help Wilson win the war!" So politics reassembled. "And," says the common voter, says he to himself, softlv like and under his breath: "Who is this man Wil son, which he would win the war?" And then History she fumbles over her pages and she re marks: "Him? Oh, he's the gentleman whom congress has been endowing with more power than is given to any other ruler on earth not even to the kaiser himself." "Well, well," replies the average man, recall ing recent events, "well, ain't it the truth; and who is this congress which went ahead and done all this?'' Again History turns to her book and says she: "Congress is the representatives of the people, all the people, republicans and demo crats, and in giving the president all this power, which it is a good thing to give him in war time, for war is no debating society, republicans voted just as strong as the democrats. They voted in a larger proportion for the war than the demo crats, so far as that goes, and they voted strong er man for man for conscription "than the demo crats. But let that pass; that was the accident of geography." But, says History, says she. "in tne matter ot winning this war the republicans gave the president just as much power to win it as the democrats, which shows they really ad journed politics and didn't just give it a 10 minutes' recess in order to arum up a majority." That was what History said them very words and she never smiled when she said it. "So," thunders Logic, "now that you have given the president all this power, this tremen dous unprecedented power, why not safeguard that power? Why not surround the president with a republican congress? The republicans upheld him in the war; the republicans co operated to give him all this power. Power un restrained is bad for any man: power under control and with the consent of the governed is the essence of democracy. So why not, now that congress has assembled the makings of a tyrant and no man is above the temptations of the flesh why not surround the president with a republican congress, a congress just as loyal, just as reasonable, just as keen to win the war as the president himself? Why not surround the president with advisers rather than servants, with men rather than patronage seekers, with Americans rather than mere partisans, who in the last 10 months have played party politics clear up to the limit?" Them was the noble words of Logic, which you can't get away from, dearly beloved. I et politics really adjourn. And let the re publicans help Wilson win the war. This Is no one-party war. If he won't have a bipartisan cabinet, why not have a bipartisan government democratic in the White House and repub lican on Capitol Hill? Has anyone anything further to offer? People and Events Sign of the times: "Half soled shoes for whole-souled men." However, if you haven't the peachstones, buying war savings stamps will help some. Six thousand Germans occupy a nice, new cemetery at St. Mihiel. all settled there since August, 1914. Their silent motto is: "We are here to stay." The open season for trimming fuel profiteers is on in the Empire state. One coal dealer at Elmira slipped over a boosted price and lost his license for 60 days. Right in the busy season, too. A shortage of legal talent due to the inroads of war seriously impairs the working efficiency of the county attorney's office in Chicago. For the first time in its history law jobs are seeking the men advertising for them, and offering salaries of $2,000 and $2,500 per year. A lively shaking down of tax sale sharks is going on in New York City. In some cases evidence of conspiracy against land owners de linquent for small sums has been unearthed and measures taken to force relinquishment of claims at cost. Negligence is the chief source. Small property owners forget about some taxes, ana officials fail to give due notice of dean quency and sale. . of the second class. Civilians won ti.fiOO iron crepses. The allies, for good measure, are handing 'em dou ble crosses. The French ministry of marine contradicts the report that Lieuten ant Schwelper, the man who sank the Lusitania, has been captured. This officer, it states, has been dead a long time. The British buried him in September, 1917. The London residence of Mrs. John Mcl'ormlek, wife of the Irish American tenor, has been presented to the Knights of Columbus for use as n club house for T'nited States soldiers during the war. It is itu ntcd in N'etherhall Gardens, Hemp stead, and contains 30 rooms. Four Krueger brothers, residents of a small Wisconsin town. Imagined themselves bigger than Uncle Sam and could safely defy his war regu lations. One of them was shot to death while resisting ottleers, an other is in jail, wounded. The other two are still at l irge, though 'un likely to escape alive. A bulletproof vest for Yanks is tho latset war innovation. Similar protection for front line troops has been in use on the Herman side. The American "garment" weighs four and one-half pounds and is said to resist shrapnel fragments and small arm bullets at short range. The ideas of ancient armorers, modified and improved, survive the lapse of centuries. Hritlsh maximum prices for the wheat crop of 1918 runs about 1 cent a pound higher than the American guaranteed price, Chicago basis. Rye commands the same price as wheat. The official price schedule, effective September 1, holds until January 1, 1W19, when the price advances slightly during the first six months of the year. The published price Is j 75s 6d for this year and 76s 6d up to July next, for 504 pounds. German efficiency belies its repu tation these days, while allied ef ficiency grows more impressive every hour. Even in small affairs it is ag gravating in grasp and thorough ness. Robert Fay admits it has some grasp. Bob is a German army lieu tenant who thought we were easy enough to stand for ship bombing plots. Caught and convicted, he fled between days, but was apprehended In Spain, brought back and is start ing a term of eight years in Atlanta penitentiary.

Kansas City Times: Really, the differences of opinion among corre spondents as to whether the German morale is low or not seem unimpor tant. The allied morale is high, which is all we care about. Baltimore American: The times offer a choice to strikers. They must either serve the president or the kaiser. When the president speaks they do not haggle long. Em ployers must also be good soldiers.

Meeker would have to help me feed my fancy poultry, go with me once a week for a half day to get from S to 15 sacks of grass for my poul try, carry those heivy sacks three blocks and wheel them two more blocks, all up steep hills. Then Meeker woul have to walk from six to eight miles each day, as I have no auto and walk to and from my office three times a day. I also ship fancy chickens and eggs and make considerable garden. Then I have to be my own stenographer, office clerk and errand boy; have to look after my law business mvsclf and snatch time to write to the papers from my needed hours of sleep. The so-called "daylight saving law'' is hard on people over 45 years of age, for they lose sleep when they need it the worst. Then farmers say the new system makes the day seem to work backwards. Meeker may like the law, but 1 will wager that if a vote was taken on continuing the law it would be disccntinued in a hurry. It is not a question of pa triotism at all. Members of con gress are just men, the same as the rest of us, and make mistakes as well as the common run of people, like Mr. Meeker, for instance. J still say the daylight saving law should be repealed. FRANK A. AGNEW. LAUGHING GAS. "This man raised a large family with ease." "How did he manaire to do It?"

It, however, is a distinct disease and does not result from exposure to smallpox, and exposure to it never results in smallpox. While chickenpox Is not a severe sickness and death is very rare, it Is however of importance, first, because a military organization could be easily crippled temporarily by a wide spread attack of chickenpox, and second, because of the impor tance of being certain that the dis ease in question is actually chicken pox and not mild smallpox. For these reasons, medical officers are compelled to consider an apparently simple disease much more seriously than might be thought necessary.
