Almost two billions in war contracts were

Surgeons1 Work in War
4
if
3
Observers of things in front line hospitals
and back of the lines in Europe testify that
there has teen remarkable "team work" by
American surgeons and American wounded sol
diers. . The surgeons have been beautifully de
voted to the sufferers easing their physical dis
tresses so far as human aid could do so, and the
wounded have exhibited a rare courage and en
durance, making the work of the surgeons as
light as possible.
r It is good to hear that the finer sensibilities
' of surgeons have not been blunted by what they
have gone through. These men have been
' obliged to Jook upon a vast deal of acute suffer
ing. Had they been made of grosser stuff the
experience would have hardened them, but we
hear that, on the contrary, they never permitted
themselves to relax their gentleness jn handling
men or to lose their natural sympathies in oner
ous duty. They will come back home in due
course greatly enriched in practical experience
and better equipped than ever to care for suffer
ers in peace time.
Surgeons and correspondents never have
grown weary in telling of the bravery of Amer
ican soldiers on beds of pain. The men have
done their best to make light of their suffering
in the presence of others. In this they have
shown themselves to be even more heroic in
many instances than they were in the heat of
battle.
"Happily, we who remain at home never will
be able to visualize adequately the scenes in
;these war hospitals. Nor is it likely that re
turned soldiers will care to dwell upon the more
unpleasant incidents that came under their ob
servation. They will prefer to talk of the more
joyous events, and in that they will disclose
again' the qualities of their soldiership. -Minne-VD9

MAS TAMMANY'S TIGER LOST, ITS
STRIPES?
Km the Tammany Tiger, the Tammany of
Tweed, of Croker, of Murphy, miraculously
changed its skin and lost its stripes? If so, the
millenium of politics must be in near proximity,
and yet that is what the political sage and seer
of the New York World, Louis Seibold, would
have us believe. Of course, the World is in
tense in its democratic partisanship anc may
possibly be prejudiced in favor of the Tammany
machine, which is the mainstay of the demo
cratic party in the Empire 'state, but its effort
now to sanctify what has long had the reputa
tion of viciousness and rottenness is well calcu
lated to invite doubt This is what Mr. Seibold
hands us in the course of a review of the recent
election, with special reference to New York
and the political currents it has set in motion:
, The -result most gratifying to the demo
crats of the country was that in New York.
The defeat of Mr. Whitman was of secondary
. importance to the apparent transformation in
Tammany Hall, once anathema in the eyes of
the national leaders. Tammany appears in a1
much better light than ever before. Never in
its history has it seemed more entitled to ad
mission to the Democratic league than at
present. For years it has been regarded as
the black sheep of the democratic family, its
record, condemned and apologized for its
methods scored in each successive national
convention, a suspicion of fraud attached to
every victory won by it. But the old record
has been forgotten, and one incident of the
contest is responsible for the revision of the
national judgment of it. This was the specta
cle of Mr. Smith, the successful democratic
candidate for governor, rushing up the state
with a bodyguard of fifteen lawyers instead of
thugs and strong arm men to see to it that the
republicans did not steal the election from
him. Every national democrat recalls the old
order of things when the republican legisla
ture was wont to rush down the state to pre
vent Tammany from stealing elections from
its candidates. The metamorphosis was start
ling enough to make the national leaders gasp
with amazement the impossible had hap
pened. v
Now, while we have seen the Tammany
Tiger tamed on more than one occasion, the
taming never lasted even till the next election.
The suggestion that Tammany has been self
expurgated almost overnight, without letting
anyone have the slightest inkling of the won
derful "metamorphosis" going' on under cover
of the chrysalis is indeed enough to cause won
der whether angels' wings grow on devil's
darlings. As a picture, Tammany stopping the
stealing of an election would be a counterpart
to Satan rebuking sin.
Tammany plainly wants to have a controlling
voice in the national democratic councils and
is camouflaging for admission to a seat at the,
head table usually reserved for the respecta
bility of the party. If the axiom about the
leopard changing its spots holds good, the
Tiger's stripes will continue to be visible
through the whitewash just as it has always
been.
"Jimmy" Reed's Imagination.
When Senator "Jimmy" Reed of Kansas City
unfetters his imagination and sends it forth to
explore the unfathomed future he brings home
for careful ' scrutiny such discoveries as must
astonish even the credulous. Last year the sen
ator occupied many hours on many days in the
senate, outlining the disaster that would follow
on the naming of Herbert Hoover to be food
administrator
Nothing in the category of calamity escaped
the ienatorial summing up of the shortcomings
of the man the president had selected for the
place, nor did his prophetic vision omit to em
brace any detail of misfortune that would ensue
when once a dictator had been set over the na
tional larder. Time proved that the timorous
"Jimmy" was unduly and needlessly alarmed.
Nothing of the harm he foresaw came to pass.
On the other hand, while Mr. Hoover's admin
istration worked no miracles, it was efficient to
the extent that under its inspiration the Amer
ican people saved enough food to win the war
and survived, well fed and more or less content
through it all.
Now, in "voice of dolorous pitch," the Kan
sas City Pharos of Liberty turns on the pro
posed league of nations and finds in it impend
ing destruction for the United States. It is not
an "entangling alliance" we are asked to enter,
but a "maelstrom of destruction." He says
nothing of the Laocoon, but why he omitted this
classic reference we wonder.
The fact is, the senator is overgifted with
imagination and power of speceh, and sadly
lacking in mental terminal facilities. His vision
of the United States plunging headlong to de
struction is worthy of his political training.
Senator Reed is a democrat.
Shall We Have a New State House?
With the approach of the session of the leg
islature we find discusison of need for a new
state house revived: The old building at Lin
coln must eventually be replaced, a fact that has
been often presented to the lawmakers, and just
as often sidestepped. Two years ago the physi
cal condition of the ancient structure was such
as to make necessary special rules of conduct
while the legislature was in session. Repairs
and braces have held it together, ,and again it
will be called upon to withstand the strain of
the unusual assemblage gathering there. What
will be done is squarely up to the lawmakers.
The democrats shirked responsibility for initia
ting the work, so the republicans will be re
quired to assume the duty of making plans for
a new state house, if Nebraska is to have a
building worthy to house its government. Nam
ing a commision to at least have charge of the
preliminaries, if not to undertake the actual con
struction, will be the first steps, if any are taken.
Time does not lessen the acuteness of the ques
tion, for the building is not improving as it
grows older. The matter is up to the legisla
ture. -
' Another sign that the war is over is the re-
sumption of the debate over the number of "B
T. U's." contained in the output of the local gas
plant. This will gradually lead up to the main
question .which is pending as unfinished busi
ness, 'that of the purchase of the plant by the
city. v
Close and continued contact with the Hun
has taught John Bull much caution, and he de
clines to believe the kaiser has abdicated, but
awaits official notice. It is well to have news
ffom Germany confirmed by reliable authority.
Clemenceau has asked extradition for the
late head of the German empire, which-means
that Herr Hohenzollern thereby becomes also a
Punishment o) Wilhelm
, New York Times
Many ill-considered opinions have been ex
pressed as to the penalty that ought to be in
flicted upon the dethroned German Kaiser by a
world into which he has brought so much
misery. The feeling is almost universal that
his crimes transcend the provision of criminal
law, for he is the world's greatest criminal and
even the most terrible statutory penalties fall
miserably short of his desert. The weakest
suggestion is that he be extradited to England
to be tried there under the murder indictment
brought against him in the Lusitania case. To
begin with", no extradition writ would be honor
ed. But suppose he were tried, found guilty,
and executed. Would not that end his suffer
ings? Retribution would cheat itself if so soon
his sufferings were ended.
Why should not every civilized human being
pray that this man of altogether unspeakable
sin may live forever to undergo through the un
ending years of time those mental tortures, far
surpassing any conceivable physical pangs,
which We may be sure are afflicting him at this
moment? Remorse he may not feel; we cannot
well know the mental and spiritual nature of
this incomparable malefactor. But he must feel
the immeasurable difference between his present
despised state and that high position' from which
he has fallen. Excruciating as that torment
must be, it is only the beginning. He knows
that earth's millions detest him, loathe him,
hate him with a hatred never before visited
upon mortal man. They will shun him, or seek
him out only for hqt reproach and reviling. The
guilt of ten million murders rests upon his soul,
for he is the man. the one man who micht have
stopped the war before it began; he was the
greatest exemplar, preacher, and practitioner ot
that theory of rule over men out of which the
war was born. "Thou are the man" is what
the world has said to him from the beginning.
So let him live, let him live through such days
of anguish and nights of sleepless torment that
he will rage furiously against any who, speaking
from a sense of pity and belated loyalty, may
cry out "Long live Wilhelm!" Lucretia's prayer
for the punishment of Tarquin, as Shakespeare
has given It form, befits the case of him who
was the German kaiser:
Let him have time to tear his curled hair,
Let him have time against himself to rave,
Let him have of Time's help to despair.
Let him have time to live a loathed slave.
Let him have time a beggar's sort to crave
And time to see one that by aims doth live
Disdain to him disdained scraps to give.
Time without limit, unending time spent in
torment without any respite, ceaseless, hopeless,
that is the punishment appropriate to the crimes
of Wilhelm of Hohenzollern, for sins altogether
inexpiable, sins that appall, that outrun experi-
ence and overpass the powers of imagination.
Leave him as he is, that is the worst the world
can wish him. This man felt himself to be the
greatest on earth, he is now the meanest. He
has come down from his high place where he
dreamed of extending over all nations the su
preme power he wielded over one. He has
come down to a condition from which the
wretchedest would flee in horror. Is he not in
a way of punishment which the most inexorable
would hold to be fitting and adequate? Yet
some men say there is no God!
Hindenburg and the Kaiser
Hindenburg will never be a name to conjure
with as long as the world stands. He is a per
sonification of the hideous doctrine of brute
force, a doctrine civilization is stamping in the
dust forever. Military experts may even differ
as to Hindenburg's mastery of his bloody pro
fession. His campaigns will be scrutinized, in
the light of facts that even he did not fully
know during his campaigns. We know he
failed to meet his several dinner engagements in
Paris. He may have been at fault in his failure
to carry out his threats, although we can but
wish that it will be found that he did all mortal
could. It might not be best for the future to
discover that the world was saved through any
blundering of Hindenburg or his crew. Some
insane egotist, like Wilhelm II, might be per
suaded to try it again, promising "to avoid the
blunders of my predecessors."
But horrid as Hindenburg is in mind and
mien, he becomes, in the hour of defeat, attrac
tive in comparison witn his erstwhile royal mas
ter. The kaiser did not stay to take his medi
cine. He sneaked into Holland, either to save
himself from the German people or from the
allies. This boastful partner of the Almighty,
who had rattled his saber and strutted before the
world for 30 years, could not face the people
he had deluded to their ruin. The only unbe
reaved father in Germany, he was concerned
only about the personal safety of himself and
his six unscathed sons. Rumor flew that Hin
denburg had likewise fled, but the sturdy old
warrior was made of sterner stuff. He was
prompt to issue a proclamation, confessing de
feat, and urging the "heavy task" of rapid re
turn to the fatherland. The concluding words
were: "You will never be abandoned by your
eld marshal in the struggle. He will ever be
confident in you.'' The flight of the kaiser must
have inspired this language, for it is no secret
that Hindenburg, in the days before the war,
made little effort to conceal his contempt for
the kaiser and the crown prince. St. Louis

Prophet Isaiah Scores
Isaiah XIV., 12-20.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O, Lucifer,
son of the morning! How art thou cut down to
the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will as
cend into heaven; I will exalt my throne above
the stars of Godl I will sit also upon the mount
of the congregation!
I will ascend above the height of the clouds;
I will be like the mosi High.
Yet thou shalt be Drought down to hell, to
the sides of the pit.
They that see thee shall narrowly look upon
thee, and consider thee, saying:
Is this the man that made the earth te
tremble, that did shake kingdoms?
That made the world a wilderness and de
stroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the
house of his prisoners?
All the kings of the nations, even all of them,
lie in glory; every one in his own house.-
But thou are cast out of thy grave like an
abominable branch and as the raiment of those
that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that
go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcass
trodden under feet.
Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial,
because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain
thy people! the seed of evildoers shall never
be renowned. .
Personal Guilt in War
Hardly an article in the terms of armistice
has caused more debate than No. 6, in which
appears this sentence: '
"No person shall be prosecuted for offenses
of participation in war measures prior to the
signing of the armistice." '
The statement that the French undersecre
tary of justice has ordered proceedings to be
begun against German officers accused of shock
ing crimes may mean, if confirmed, that the
sentence quoted refers by strict limitation only
to war measures within the limits of legality.
This article of the armistice was drawt by
military men, few of whom would ask for pen
alties against men who obeyed orders, when the
alternative was the death sentence for mutiny.
Men who committed outrages contrary to the
laws of war and without orders, and those in
authority who ordered such acts are not neces
sarily protected by the language quoted against
richly deserved expiation.
But in search of men "higher up" to expiate
crimes that have appalled humanity, how high
will the quest go? Up to a general who or
dered the taking of no prisoners? Up to von
Tirpitz for submarine murders? Up to the
judge of Captain Fryatt? Up to the kaiser, who
as the "All Highest" was in theory responsible
for every act? Where is the final home of oer

As to Parking Rnle for Autos.
Omaha, Nov. 22. To the Editor of
The Bee: Every day many arrests
are made In this city for violating
"parking rules for autos." There
should not be any occasion for these
arrests and there would not be as
many violations if the city would do
the right thing. Why can't the city
print a card of rules on "Parking
cars, wnere, when, why and how
long a car can park here or there?
Every downtown street should be
designated, what part for parking.
etc. as u is now no one seems to
know where to "pull in." so he
stands a chance of beinsr arrested
and made to pay a fine. The city
has the names of every auto owner

SENSIBLE CITIZEN.
Evangelicals and Liberals.
Omaha. Nov. 20. To tha Editor
of The Bee: An excellent constitu
tion is that which was adoDted bv
the Omaha Church Federation . on
Monday evening. One of its excel
lencies is the basis of membership:
"This federation shall be eomDosed
of all churches in Omaha and vicin
ity now co-operating, or that shall
hereafter by vote agree to unite with
this organization."
No door could be more wide open.
A body of churches organized on
that basis would be a real federation
union and liberty.
But the door was too wide-open
to suit some of the saints, so they
put through an amendment closing
it to all except "evangelicals." They
then defined "evangelical" as mean
ing "those who believe in the Lord
Jesus Christ as the Savior of the
world."
Episcopalians are not usually
classed as evangelicals, so that rules
them out. At least, an Episcopal
rector told me so after the meeting.
We Unitarians and Universallsts
are commonly supposed not to be
evangelical, in spite of the fact that
we carry on our campaigns of liberal
evangelism; and as for the doctrine
of the divinity of the Lord Jesus as
Savior of the world, many people
think that all we live for is to deny
it. As a matter of fact, there Is a
very considerable number of liberals
who do believe in it. But the dis
tinctive principle of the Unitarian
church is religious liberty. No
creed is fixed, no doctrine is imposed
as a test of membership upon those
who desire to participate in the wor
ship and work of a Unitarian church.
We hold different opinions as to the
person of Jesus, but we are united
in trying to carry out His precepts.
What shuts us out of an "evangel
ical" federation is not the particular
doctrine In question, but the fact
that any doctrine whatever la im
posed as a condition of membership.
The insertion of the word "evangel
ical" is equivalent to the fixing of a
creed. That this was the purpose
of the amendment was made plain
by the person who moved It and by
the applause which followed his re
marks, even more than by the vote
adopting It
Points of order were raised by
some who opposed the amendment,
and In order to prevent adding to
the confusion and prolonging the
discussion the question was referred
to the executive committee. It now
remains to be seen what will be
adopted as the basis of membership.
Without the amendment the or
ganization will be a comprehensive
federation with it an exclusive alli
ance. It was truly a surprise to hear this
motion argued and to see It carried
exactly one week after the end of
the war for liberty, and In defiance
of all that has been said about the
good effect of the war in bringing
churches nearer together, breaking
