Old John Barleycorn drew another black

Why, sure. The local democratic organ
asks us to forget politics now. We'd want to
forget 'em, too, if the tables were reversed.
, The democratic senator from Nebraska
spent his leisure time campaigning in Delaware,
with the result that the republicans won a victory.
"Big Jeff" brings this congressional district
back into the republican fold after 12 years of
continuous democratic representation. Some
achievement!
"Fjne words butter no parsnips," and the
British, French and Belgian governments are
not inclined to make peace on generalities. They
want some definite covenants written into the
agreement.
Indictment in federal court for sedition
seems to have won for "Vic" Berger a return to
congress by the socialists of Milwaukee. Maybe
that section, will later be included in the terms
of the armistice.
" ;The rotten re-districting gerrymander is the
'only thing that saves the democratic control of
, the county board. The sooner that piece of
political chicanery is blotted off the "statute
books, the better.
The next edict in the editorial sanctum of
the Hyphenated to replace the old order against
using the words "Hun" or "Boche" in its col-
unjns will probably be one barring all reference
.by name to Rosewater.

senator and another governor, Nebraska hon
ored the guild by choosing one to be governor,

State Press association might be called to order

Thrift of Soldiers Overseas
lit
There are many solicitous people back
, home who ask, now and then, what we do with
"our money.
While we can't, of course, account for every
sou received and every sou exoended we ran
vgive them a fair sample of what the army does
with its spare cash, taking our figures from
" those compiled for a certain division, served by
nve canteens, miring tne montn or August.
. In four out of the five huts patronized the
men sent home more money than they spent on
themselves for canteen supplies. In the fifth
hut the amount of merchandise sales was only
a smau percentage larger tnan tne amount of
remittances sent home.
; '.Taking the five huts as a whole, 125,000 more
, francs were sent home than were spent at the
counter.
One c the huts, whose business in all de
; partmentr as the biggest of the five, reported
that its pirons sent to America almost three
times as ffuch money as it received for sales.
' .; These figures are typical of the sound com-
mon sense of the American soldier. Neither
'tight-fisted nor ultra-lavish, he doesn't stint
himself on necessities, and yet he manages to
remember generously his folks at home. Stars

"BIG JEFF'S" BIG VICTORY.
This Omaha district will be represented in
the next congress by Albert W. Jefferis, suc
cessful republican nominee. The simple state
ment of the fact, however, does not convey the
full meaning of the victory.
"Big Jeff's" majority over his democratic
opponent will be approximately 600. Con
gressman Lobeck was re-elected for his fourth
term two years ago by a majority of 8,332. To
overcome such a lead and defeat a candidate
entrenched in power and office and backed by
the personal endorsement of President Wilson
in addition to all the forces of the democratic
machine obviously required a man with excep
tional ability, popularity and strength.
If disposed to take seriously the fool edi
torial put out by Senator Hitchcock's paper as
a last desperate plea for Lobeck, we might hail
the election of Jefferis wholly as a feather in
the cap of The Bee and its editor. We are not
so vain-glorious and are content to reprint the
W. H. outburst on this page to let our readers
see what lengths the frenzied opposition went
to. The victory of Jefferis should, however,
teach the futility of a campaign of deliberate
lying and faking such as the democrats waged.
To Mr. Jefferis we offer congratulations to
Congressman Lobeck respectful sympathy. Lo
beck, we concede, has done the best he could,
but we know Jefferis can and will do better,
and the voters of this district plainly by their
verdict share the opinion.
Republican Victory Complete.
As an outcome of the voting on Tuesday the
republican party is restored to the control of
the lower house of congress, and apparently
in the senate. This was forecasted months
ago because of the erratic course of the
democrats in connection with the war program,
but is made the more impressive by reason of
the personal appeal of the president to the vot
ers. Americans instinctively resent being dic
tated to, and especially do they hold an aver
sion to making partisanship a test of loyalty.
That Missouri has elected a republican to the
senate and three to the house is an evidence of
how that appeal reacted.
In Nebraska the victory is complete. The
entire republican state ticket lias been elected by
such majorities as add weight to the rebuke ad
ministered the Hitchcock-Neville machine,
whose control of state affairs for the last six
years has been notorious and exasperating. A
solid republican delegation from Nebraska will
sit in the next house, the first in many years, a
further proof of dissatisfaction created by the
democratic overlords.
To S. R. McKelvie and those who were as
sociated with him on the republican state ticket
The Bee extends its warmest congratulations.
They conducted a campaign of a character for
which they need never make apology, and en
dured such a deluge of abuse and misrepresenta
tion as seldom is visited on candidates. The
vote of confidence given them by the people is
their best vindication.
Success in election brings responsibility,
from which the republican party has never with
drawn. Its sound and progressive statesman
ship affords the best possible" guaranty for the
future of the country under its guidance. Full
steam ahead!
Results in Douglas County.
Republicans must feel great gratification at
the election results in Douglas county. The
defeat of W. G. Shriver by "Mike" Endres for
the office of treasurer is the only break in the
county ticket. Sheriff Clark has been returned
by a handsome majority, a testimonial of appre
ciation from the people, who honor him for the
faithful administration of his office under trjying
conditions. Frank Dewey and Harry Pearce
were looked upon as certain winners from the
outset, and while they are congratulated on
winning, their return to office carries nothing
of surprise.
Abel Shotwell's election to the important
office of county, attorney means a reorganiza
tion of the personnel as well as the practices
that have prevailed there for so long. "Lou"
Adams was another who had been conceded
election, although the democrats did their ut
most to hamper him. His return assures the
taxpayers of faithful service in the office of
county engineer.
As a result of the disgraceful rearrangement
of the county commissioner districts the demo
crats retain control of the county board.
A mixed delegation will be sent to the legis
lature, although the republicans will predomi
nate in both branches. Much satisfaction by
the voters in expressing their preference is re
flected in this. Altogether, the Douglas county
republicans have a right to feel good over the
result.
As to Specific Terms.
A sentence in the note from Mr. Lansing to
the Swiss minister, asking him to notify the
German government that the Entente Allies and
the United States have agreed as to terms on
which Germany may have an armistice chal
lenges attention. This is to the effect that,
while England, France and Italy accept Presi
dent Wilson's principles for peace, they hold
different views as to their interpretation and
reserve the right to apply them to their own
satisfaction. Mr. Lansing's note does not say
so precisely, but the inference is plain that the
president assents to the views of the other gov
ernments. '
Principally, the differences arise over free
dom of the seas and the, matter of indemnity.
Some dispute was in progress between the gov
ernments of the United States and Great Britain
as to rules governing ocean commerce, arising
under the London convention, which was far
from accommodation when this country entered
the war. These points naturally will be pre
sented to the peace council, although they may
be referred to a later conference.
Indemnity w'ill present a more difficult phase
of the general problem. One of the most ob
vious phases of this arises through the dissolu
tion of the responsible governments of the cen
tral empires. Austria already has gone to
pieces, and our president has recognized new
nations arising from the wreck. It is possible
that Germany may also be resolved into its in
dependent states and a new federation formed.
In such event the matter of apportioning the
damage will be delicate indeed.
As peace approaches details of its esablish
ment become clearer, and necessity for wise
deliberation more imperative.

Hitchcock's Fool Editorial
World-Herald, Nov. 2.
Lobeck or Jefferis?
Woodrow Wilson vs. Dr. Victor Rosewater.
That is the issue in the election of a con
gressman from the Second Nebraska district,
embracing Douglas, Washington and Sarpy
counties. The candidates are Charles O. Lo
beck, who for eight years has served the people
of the district faithfully and well, and Albert
W. Jefferis, the man whom Doctor Rosewater
has been trying for 10 years to land in Wash
ington as his personal representative.
It is idle for republicans to hold up their
hands in holy horror and prate about the "dic
tation" of a president who asks that men be
elected who will aid him in winning the war.
and bringing about a just and honorable peace.
It is idle for republicans to belittle Congress
man Lobeck by calling him a "messenger boy."
For the outstanding fact of Albert W. Jef
feris' candidacy is that, if elected, he will be
Doctor Victor Rosewater's messenger boy.
Jefferis has been Rosewater's man for the
last dozen years. Rosewater thrust him into
the congressional primary in 1908, when Thomas
W. Blackburn and Charles L. Saunders were
already candidates, and then, as now, with
Rosewatey's backing, he won the nomination.
Then, as will be now, he went down to deserved
defeat.
When President Wilson urged, as he has, the
re-election of Congressman Lobeck, he simply
indorsed a record that, in itself, justified such
action by the voters of the Second district. Uni
formly back of every war measure, uniformly
found working for every measure in the inter
ests of the nation or the welfare of the people
whom he represents, Charles O. Lobeck need
ask no more than an intelligent and fair ap
praisal of his record by the voters who will pass
upon his candidacy next Tuesday. At each of
three elections Congressman Lobeck has sub
mitted an account of his stewardship and each
time he has been voted the continued confidence
of his district, until, in 1916, he was elected by
over 8,000 majority in a total vote of only 43,000.
What does A. W. Jefferis offer in place of
this record? He submits a vast amount of fine
sounding verbiage about standing behind our
boys in the trenches something which Con
gressman Lobeck has been doing since the war
began, while Jefferis was canvassing the diswict
after his political scalp. He submits a mass of
abusive calumny, unsupported by fact or argu
ment, unworthy the attention of intelligent men.
Further than that, he submits the indorse
ment of Doctor Victor Rosewater.
Voters of the Second Nebraska district: Re
publicans who are now cringing under the whip
of party regularity told you the truth about
Jefferis in the primary campaign. They told
you he was the candidate of the Rosewater
Dennison partnership, the same partnership that
tried to "put over" Jefferis in 1908, Baldridge in
1912 and Baker in 1916, the same partnership
that deserted and sacrificed Blackburn in 1914
because he would not do Doctor Rosewater's
bidding.
Which will you have the man who supports
Woodrow Wilson and whom Woodrow Wilson
wants, or the man who supports Victor Rose
water and whom Victor Rosewater wants?
War and Religious Unity
A striking manifestation of the inclination
of the leaders of men to forget all petty sec
tarian differences and make common cause for
good is the "United War Work Campaign" of
November 11 to 18, for which the Y. M. C. A.,
the Y. W. C. A., the National Catholic War
Council of the Knights of Columbus, the Jewish
Welfare Board, the War Camp Community
Service, the American Library association and
the Salvation Army are joining forces. The
times of peace may have left leisure and room
fop- zealots -to be scrupulous about lines of de
marcation between denominations. The fires
of war have burned away the fence rails. The
landscape is cleared of many obstructions. Many
things are plainly seen in a clear, fresh sunlight
which has power to dispel even the acrid smoke
of battle.
In the "odium theologicum" of the days
when the world was not fighting for its life, and
hence men had space'to grow bitterly eloquent
over doctrinal minutiae, there were foolish and
needless battles among the good. Now the
time has come for -the latter unitedly to make
their goodness valid against the serried forces
of evil rampant in the world against the mon
strous and menacing .shape of militarism and
against degeneracy and moral perversion mas
querading as culture.
The seven banded organizations whom this
coming campaign unites will emerge from their
corporate effort as "members one of another,"
having reached a basis of understanding which
their future endeavor cannot ignore. They have
realized the strength of union, they have found
the real delight of communal sympathetic ac
tion, they have successfully tested the efficacy
and economy of pooling their effort and they
will not return to the old expensive variance
that wasted time and money and engendered
friction. There is to be newly and truly a
United States in i charity as in politics. The
common denominator has been discevered once
for always. War work is accomplishing what
decades of peace talk could not have attained.

The First Battle of the Maine."
Omaha, Nov. 6. To the Editor of
The Bee: The first battle of the
Marne has been fought and won.
Notice has been served upon autoc
racy that it can no more find a bed
ding ground in America than in Eu
rope. Never again will any occu
pant of the White House accuse
those who politically disagree with
him of disloyalty.
The precedent will never become
established that it is one. of the du
ties of the chief executive to line up
a co-ordinate branch of the govern
ment and talk to them like a labor
boss abusing a lot of longshoremen
or a finicky school teacher scolding
her pupils.
The American people have em
phatically declared against the suc
cession of a "crown prince" who ac
quires the title either by consanguin
ity or affinity. They have served no
tice that they prefer to choose their
own officials rather than to be rep
resented by an "unelected, unap
polnted and unconfirmed personal
representative."
"Rubber stamp" politicians will go
into the discard and political "ma
chines" into the junk pile. It serves
notice that those candidates who are
pronounced "unclean" by their
former political associates may not
aspire to the highest gift in the office
of the people of Nebraska. Never
again will deluded republican voters
of a republican city elect a demo
cratic mayor by the farce of a "non
partisan" ticket, to have him prosti
tute the power and title of his office
to furnish "grease" for the demo
cratic "machine."
The second battle of the Marne
will be fought in ia20, when the
final doom of autocracy in America
will be sealed and the American na
tion come again into its own. The
"wedge" driven into the north from
south of the Mason and Dixon line
will be eliminated. No longer will
14 of the old rebel states, which con
tain less than one-fifth of the popu
lation, pay less than one-seventh of
the taxes, and contribute less than
one-fifth of the funds necessary to
carry on the war. be permitted to
control the destinies of the nation
at home or abroad by depriving a
majority of its electors of the right
of franchise by reason of color.
Never again will the government
be put in the hands of those who
will fix the maximum price of the
wheat grown by the farmers of the
north, while the cotton of the south
is permitted to sell for five times its
former price.
In 1920 those will be put on guard
About Peace Treaties
As a rule formal ratification of a
peace treaty is expected and neces
sary to make it valid.
Peace treaties are usually written
by hand throfighont, sealed with
many seals and bound with green
silk ribbon.
The rulers of the signatory powers
don't atfix their signatures or seals
to peace treaties entered Into by
them. This important formality Is
carried out by specially accredited
peace commissioners.
Each nation entering into a peace
agreement is bound by all of the
terms agreed upon by its peace
commissioners, provided It cannot be
shown that such commissioners did
not expressly violate the instructions
given them'.
The effect of a peace treaty is to
put an end not only to a war, but
also to all complaints relating to the
subject for -which war was under
taken. A new war can be under
taken for similar causes of com
plaint, but not for the same. The
peace is an oblivion or amnesty of
all past difficulties.
Latin originally was the language
in which all peace treaties Involving
Christian powers were written. Later
French was generally adopted as the
language for such agreements, but
nowadays 1. is customary for copies
of the treaty to be prepared In the
language of each of the signatory
powers. ,
Each signatory power is given an
original copy of the peace treaty. In
addition, it is customary to make
and sign several copies of the treaty
for convenience. The original cop
ies are kept locked up in the arch
ives of the different countries, while
the certified copies are used for
printing from and for reference.
Peace treaties are not written
straight across the page, or pages,
like ordinary documents. They are
written in parallel columns, each col
umn being in the anguage of one
of the signatory powers. The text
of each of these columns is an exact
translation of the text of all the
other columns, and the utmost care
is taken in the eelection of words
that will convey identical shades of
meaning.
who can pronounce the words "un
conditional surrender" without gag

when they were delivered by Grant

FLU EPIDEMIC
SPREADING OVER
CIVILIZED WORLD
Germ Eludes Bacteriologists
and Health Authorities
Are Baffled.
The Influenza epidemic continues
unabated. Its ravages are not can
fined to this city or state or even to
the United States, and cable reports
indicate that it is rapidly spreading;
over the civilized world. It has baf
fled medical skill to an unusual ex
tent and has claimed more victims
perhaps than any other epidemic in
a score of years. The germ has elud
ed the Bacteriologists and' medical
men now agree that the best cure in
prevention.
The surest prevention Is to build
up the bodily powers of resistance
and to get the system in the best
physical condition possible. It is
now universally agreed that it is
possible to perfect the powers of re
sistance of the human system so
that it can throw off almost any in
fection not excepting Spanish in
fluenza.
It has been discovered that per
sons who are weak and rundown are
the earliest victims, and if you find
yourself tired or weak and losingr
flesh, or if you are in a generally
rundown condition and below your
normal weight, this warning should
be heeded promptly.
If you are in this condition noth
ing on earth will build you up and
strengthen you like Tanlac, which
contains the most powerful tonic
properties known to science. As a
reconstructive tonic and system
builder it is without an equal and
contains the very elements needed
by the system to give you ftehting
strength to ward off the Influenza
"mi. This is a statement of facts
-nd is supported by the recognized
'ithorities and reference works, in-TT-"d
States Dispensa
tory and the Encyclopoeda Brittan
nica and leading textbooks used in
the school of medicine. This state
ment is further proven by the fact
that millions of persons who have
actually taken Tanlac have testi
fied to its extraordinary merit as a
medicine, and" by the fact that Tan
lac is today having the greatest sale
of any tonic on the American mar
ket, over Eleven Million bottles hav
ing been sold within the past three
years.
Tanlac is also the ideal strength
ening tonic for persons who are suf
fering from the after-effects of In
fluenza, Grippe or Bronchial trou
bles and hundreds of thousands are
using it daily with the most gratify
ing results.
In connection with the Tanlao
treatment it is necessary to keep
the bowels open by taking Tanlac
Laxative Tablets, samples of which
are included with every bottle of
Tanlac.
Tanlac is sold in Omaha by all
Sherman & McConnell Drug Com
pany's stores. Harvard Pharmacy
and West End Pharmacy under the
personal direction of a special Tan
lac representative. Also Forrest
and Meany Drug Company in South
Omaha and the leading druggist in
