Americanism is the first doctrine admissible in Nebraska schools. MaWaaMaaM Somebody around police headquarters has imitated the parrot of the classic tale. Near beer is permitted, but it takes a lot of imagination to get any comfort out of that. A bail bond of $750 is small enough for a man accused of systematically debauching little girls. Minnesota wants to be allowed to ship live stock to Onjaha. They all seek the great mar ket town. Ten million bushels of grain are held in local elevators, a sign that food shortage no longer threatens. "The way to suppress is to suppress," but the difficulty usually encountered is how to make suppression effective. Lenine tells his gentle bolshevik army to "treat 'em rough." For the love of heaven, what have they been doing? More Nebraskans have landed at New York on the last leg of their round trip to France. Smiling skies await them at home. Careful perusal of Leviticus might, serve te assist in understanding at least one of the ques tions that is now taking a good deal of public attention locally. Parking cars in public streets is coming in for more careful consideration by the authori ties. It involves the' city's most serious traffic problem right now. Petty thieves are holding high carnival right now, while the heads of the police department wrangle over who is responsible. What fs the matter? Nebraska lawmakers endorse The Bee's campaign to secure six months' extra pay for discharged soldiers. It is a good thing. Push it along. Some phases of the war still are on, as per aoii9 seeking to go over to Europe are finding out. America is one good country to stay in yet awhile. Theatened atrocities by the Turks ought to put the powers on their guard. No, "concert of Europe" now requires protection of these blood thirsty marauders. Omaha ranks third in the list of naval re cruiting stations for the war period. Some rec ord for a town that is as far from tidewater as it is possible to get in the United States. Strikes in shipyards seem likely to help the government out of one of its predicaments in connection with the closing of contracts for ships no longer needed for war purposes. "Do more and talk less," is the suggestion of the auto-insurance men to the police force, and the' public will endorse the sentiment. With an average of three machines stolen for every day in the year, the situation looks bad. One hundred millions set aside to feed the starving people of the famine stricken regions of Europe and Asia sounds like a lot of money, but it is less than a dollar apioce for those who are in direst want. i The "German people's party" sent a message of congratulation to "Bill" Hohenzollern on his birthday, addressing him as "your majesty." Happily, there are not enough of them to cut much ice, even in Germany. No one is justified in compaining that free speech is at all restricted in Omaha. About everybody who 'has anything to say is given every opportunity to "get it off his chest." This unlimited discussion is better than bottling it up till something explodes. - The Air Route to the Pole Doubtless the proposed aeroplane expedition to the North Pole is feasible in these days of long voyages through the air. The plans of the Aero club have been well worked out, but the purposes of the intended exploration are not so clear. Henry Woodhouse, a member of the board of governors, says that "from a national standpoint it is absolutely necessary to explore and map all the land, island possessions and waterways under the control of the United States." Most of the islands and waterways in the Arctic north of the American continent are classified as British possessions, and Greenland belongs to Denmark. It is only further west, between Beaufort sea and the pole, that the explorers could expect to find new lands in the uncharted waters north of Alaska that would properly come under control of the United States. Of course, every bit of knowledge that can be added to the store of human knowledge is worth while, but in some cases the attendant hardships outweigh the advantages. Great Britain would hardly quarrel with us if we should annex to Alaska some of the icebound regions to the north, and the pole itself by virtue of Peary's discovery is already American. But he found there only a vast floating ocean of ice with ho land in sight. A photograph of the North Pole might bear a resemblance to a famous picture of the Red sea after the passage of the Israelites. It wag simply a field of plain blue paint When the artist was asked where were Pharaoh's chariots h$ replied that they had been submerged by the voters. And where were the Israelites? They had already passed over. Only, in the present case, the field would be likelv to be pure white instead of blue. New York Herald, WHAT IS WRONG WITH OMAHA'S ' POLICE? With the mayor, the superintendent of po lice, the chief of police, the chief of detectives, and the members of the detective force busily "passing the buck," while minor crime is run ning rampant, the Omaha police force seems sadly in need of a complete overhauling. ( Scandal of serious nature has surrounded its operations for weeks, until now a situation has developed that threatens the efficiency of the force. Mayor Smith says he is waiting for a report from Superintendent Ringer on charges that were made openly, reflecting on certain unnamed members of the force. One officer has been arrested on a charge of soliciting and accepting bribes. .The chief of detectives has publicly asserted that other detectives are dis honest, and that he "has the goods on them." S'uch allegations deserve immediate and full Investigation. Inquiry should be rigid and com plete, that the facts may be developed and the innocence or guilt of all the men established. Omaha can not afford to have the present con dition continued. When the present administration was elected it was with the expectation that rumors of graft, incompetency, favoritism, and other wrongs in connection with the police depart ment would be cleaned up. Instead, the turmoil has increased. Efficiency is impossible when the members of the force are at loggerheads with the chiefs. Something is plainly wrong. An effort to locate the trouble and apply the remedy ought to be. made. Public and Parochial Schools. Much of the discussion of the public or parochial school question at the moment rests on a misconception of their relation to the state and a misapprehension of their relation one to the other. The people of Nebraska, in common with all patriotic' citizens, are de termined that the first obligation of the schools is to teach children to become good Americans. They do not intend to risk a renewal of con ditions that prevailed before the war. To avoid this it is proposed to safeguard the source of instruction, by providing for such supervision or oversight of the schools as is necessary to make certain that nothing is taught which might directly or indirectly pervert Ameri canism. Many parents desire that their children be given religious as well as secular instruction. Some are of the opinion that this can be carried on simultaneously. Nebraska makes no dis tinction in religions, but permits the freest prac tice of any., Denominational schools of many kinds thrive here, and parochial schools of va rious sects are numerous. No sound objection can be made to these as such. It is unfortunate that in not a few in stances schools were found that had departed from their primary purposes, and in which dan gerous doctrines were taught. Such practices, we are told, have been corrected. It is plain the people of Nebraskaj will never submit to their being resumed. Needed regulation of the schools should not be undertaken in a spirit of hysteria or bigotry. It is a political and not a , religious question. The present legislature is made up, of men of vision' sufficiently broad, of tolerant under standing and sympathetic interest in the schools to justify confidence in their approach to the needed solution. Vehement declamation on either side of the question is not likely to sway the final judg ment of the lawmakers, who will act for the good of the state, and not with a view of aiding or hampering one or another of the sects. Woes of the Paris Tradesmen. Accustomed to the presence of visitors whose wealth does not ask the price, Paris shopkeep ers are disappointed by the crowds attending the peace conference. Four years of.stagnation in all lines has whetted their taste (or the well lined purse and they are tiptoe in eagerness to pounce upon the foreign bank roll and reduce its dimensions after the fashion they know so well. They find hotels filled and streets thronged with government employes, whose ex pense accounts are carefully and in some cases parsimoniously regulated. Instead of the ex pected munitions profiteers the hotels entertain stenographers, clerks and copyists. These may long for, but will not purchase, the wonderful creations that await buyers. It is all they can do to get enough to eat. Soldiers and news paper correspondents, who fringe the body of peacemakers, long ago learned the value of money by the simple process of earning it, and they are not of the class that creates commo tion among dressmakers or similar enterprises. It is not a poverty-sticken lot that Paris is en tertaining, but neither is it a gathering of spend thrifts. From the highest to the lowest, they are there on business, and are attending to their own affairs. Meantime, they occupy hotel rooms and feed at cafes where other customers might be more welcome, and the thrifty citizens of the center of fashion and frivolity will speed them ou their way with some enthusiasm as they turn to welcome the guests who come with ampler purses on whose strings the knots are lax. When the Packers Disagree. One interesting phase of the meat packing situation is disclosed in the accounts ofhear ings before the congressional committees. Mr. Armour is reported to have prepared a bill, em bodying his ideas of governmental control, which will be presented to congress: Mr. Mor ris lays great emphasis on his opinion that the government will do well to keep hands off. At ' the same time the food administration fixes a' basic rate for hogs of $17.50 per hundred weight for the month of February. The pack ers frankly admit they dread a drop in prices, as their storage rooms are crowded with meats for which they have paid top figures. Here is the only point of agreement between them' on the main topic. In the meantime, the patient public continues to pay for food at famine prices with supplies in sight far beyond any of late experience. It is not so much a question of what "is needed as of how to do it, but the puzzle is made the denser by the proceedings at Washington. Mr. Burleson, with charming frankness, says he took over the wires to save them. A little while ago he argued it was as a war measure. The facts will come out some day, and will probably be found that the postmaster general made the grab because he thought the grabbing was good. The Constitution During the , War and Afterward. By Henry Wollman, in the Annalist - PART III Conclusion. Is there any way to continue the national food administration, so that it can regulate the distribution, consumption, and price ot tood stuffs? Could the coal administration, or any part of it? be lawfully continued in times of peace? I do not see how it can be done. Even if the federal government had the power, 1 am sure that the people of this republic would not permit any such control to be exercised over their business attairs and movements. Unless one has watched it very carefully, he would be surprised to see what the federal gov ernment has been able to regulate and stop, un der the interstate commerce clause of the con stitution. I imagine that Alexander Hamilton, if he could get out of his grave in Trinity Church cemetery, at the head of Wall street, might be not a little shocked to see the tederal government, to the practical exclusion of the states and municipalities, punishing people for vending impure food. The interstate commerce provision of the constitution is a marvelous thing when an umbrella is needed for certain federal legislation. The courts, at some future time, might think it broad enough to let some department in Washington tell us what we can eat and what we can not eat that has been shipped from one state to another state; whether we can use pure wheat flour or must use mixed floury how much we must pay or not pay for coal mined in Pennsylvania and shipped here, or whether we must,' on certain days, ab stain from using coal mined in other states. I hope not and believe not, but who can tell? The question is now often agitated, Can the United States absolutely confiscate the property of alien enemies in this country? I do not mean impound it and hold it or its proceeds for the owner until the war is over, but keep it for all time or use it in paying indemnity to be ex acted from the government of the owner. A government at war with another goverrrment, unless prevented 'by an ante-bellum treaty, has the strict legal right to retain as its own the property of an alien enemy within its territory, but modern ethics and practice are emphatically adverse to that. Chief Justice Marshall, America's greatest jurist, in Brown against United States, 8 Cranch' 110, in deciding a case growing out of the war of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain, speaking for the United States supreme court, said: "The modern rule, then, would seem to be that tangible property belong to an enemy and found in the country at the commencement of war, ought not to be immediately confiscated; and in almost every commercial treaty an arti cle is inserted stipulating for the right to with draw such property. "The constitution of the United States was framed at a time when this rule, introduced by commerce in favor of moderation and humanity, was received throughout the civilized world. "It is urged that, in executing the laws of war, the executive may seize and the courts condemn all property, which, according to the modern laws of nations, is subject to confisca tion, although it might require an act of the legislature to justify the condemnation of that property which, according to modern usage, ought not to be confiscated. "The rule, like other precepts of morality, of .humanity, and even of wisdom, is addressed to the judgment of the sovereign; and although it cannot be disregarded by him without oblo quy, yet it may be disregarded." The United States supreme court, within the last two months, rendered a unanimous opinion, which says in effect to every court in this country that our courts must guard with the utmost care the rights of alien enemies having property and interests in this country, which, by reason of their absence in the enemy territory, they are not here to protect. In Watts, Watts & Co. against Unione Aus triaca di Navigazione, etc., an Austrian corpor ation, (Advance Sheets, Lawyers' Edition, No vember 15, 1918.) the United States supreme court said: "The respondent, although an alien enemy, is, of course, entitled to defend before a judg ment should be entered. It is now represented by counsel. But intercourse is prohibited by law between subjects of Austria-Hungary out side the United States and persons in the United States. We cannot say that, for the proper conduct of the defense, consultation be tween client and counsel and intercourse be tween their respective countries may not be es sential even at this stage. The war precludes this. i "Under these circumstances, we are of opin ion that the decree dismissing the libel should be set aside and the case remanded to the dis trict court for further proceedings, but that no action should be taken there (except such, if any, as may be required to preserve the security and the rights of the parties in statu quo) until, by reason of the restoration of peace be tween the United States and Austro-Hungary, or otherwise, it may become possible for the respondent to present its defense adequately." The courts, during the war, did what it 'was imperatively necessary that they should do, they sustained all the laws and war measures that were brought before them. It was a maxim older than our constitution, that in the midst of the strife of arms the laws are silent. But now that the war is over and no danger is star ing the government in the face, the courts will examine, with their usual care, deliberation, and impartiality, all questions growing out of the war that shall be presented to them forMecision. Etheric Poesy Or Prophecy? If Marconi is a true prophet as well as a great inventor, earth may yet do better than hitch its wagon to a star. It may hold etheric long-talk? with its fellow-wanderers iny space. The wizard of the wireless admits in an inter view his belief in this possibility. He has al ready received in the course df his experiments, he says, impulses- which may well have been attempted signals from other planets. It is, of course, not the first time that a scientist, hap pening to be also something of a poet, has had this dream of interplanetary communications. And not for the first time will some portion of the world laugh at the extravagance of such a dream. Perhaps, nevertheless, the laughter will fin this occasion be less general, 'less far-reaching with its echoes. One remembers that since the earlier jeering at visionaries who spoke of' talking with the stars the radio telegraph and telephone have come into being. The air has begun to give up its mysteries, to reveal its hidden forces. New York World. ITODA uneoses 7 JJA T f About Pnrochlul Schools! Omaha. Jan. 27. To the- Editor of The Bee: In Monday's Bee a report of a sermon delivered by Rev. A. A. DeLarme, Baptist min ister of this city, was given in which he stated six reasons why the bill introduced In the legislature to do away with private and parochial schools of this state should pass. The main reasons given by him thave been stated and restated many limes, una as tons as I can remem ber have Just as often been refuted anfl proven groundless. I have at tended both public and parochial schools, and have children who have attended both, and, after close con tact and associations with both priests and, parochial schools foui more than'j40 years, I have never known any of the chargest made by Rev. DeLarme to exist. Now, as to the part of some teach ing' being done in a foreign tongue. While this is equally true of public schools, but as is well known, that wherever indulged in it is only a small part of the work, and we can depend on the lessons of the late war and public sentiment to make the proper and necessary correction in both parochial and public schools in this regard, and a law will not be necessary for that purpose. As to the patriotism of the paroch ial schools, they demonstrated clearly in their war work that they were second to none, as they have also proven In efficiency In every contest entered Into with the public schools. Now, I will give six good and suf ficient reasons why this bill should not become a law: 1. The bill is un-American. 2. It Is unconstitutional. 3. There Is and can be no good nor reasonable excuse given for its passage. 4. There Is no public demand for it by anyone interested sincerely in the good of the children or the good of the state. 5. It injects religion into the poli tics of our state, which has been bad for our state and our policies whenever done. 6. It would attempt to deprive parents of the state of Nebraska of their God-given rights without good or Just cause. Each of the above reasons could be established in a court of Justice by competent and legal evidence. I can't understand how loyal and true Americans can sit silent while the sacred Institutions of our gov ernment are bombarded and an at tempt is being made to tear up and burn the constitution of our coun try. J. E. R. Another View of Wilma ticc. Omaha, Jan. 27. To the Editor of The Bee: Wilma Rice, former patient of ' the Detention hospital, cannot be as pure as she tells she is, and expects to be the rest of her life. The time I was confined at the home I used to see her colored hus band come to see her and bring her out some things, and she almost went crazy if she wouldn't get to talk to him or get a glimpse of him. She is a poor woman to set an ex ample for others. And, also being a dope fiend, getting four shots daily, she cannot be pure as she addressed the congregation at tne First Unitarian church Sunday. Those people don't know about the treatment the girls get at the home. The home is a good place for dope fiends. They get all they want and Miss Berger is right there .with her hypodermic needle. Because Wilma Rice has been a trained nurse and has a good educa tion she considers herself so much better than others. Thank God,. I am no dope fiend and stick to my own race. I hope this beautirul blonde-haired woman will stay pure, "if you can call it that," the rest of her life. ONE WHO KNOWS. Both Individualism and Socialism. Omaha, Jan. 27. To the Editor of The Bee: A correspondent to a local paper, who Is not aware that socialism intends to socialize only property that Is public in its proper function, is afraid that private prop erty and private rights would be in vaded. After drawing a frightful picture of socialism controling the amount of candy the citizen shall consume, following a dramatic sus pense so silent that we can hear a gum drop, he inquires: Shall we embrace as our political faith of the future, democracy or so cialism?" My answer to that question is: It will be both individualism and so cialism, if we know enough to attend to our own business, it will De in dividualism In all matters of Just personal liberty, and socialism In all matters of Just common interest. Most of us have not learned to dis tinguish clearly between public and private property; some of us (com munists) want only public property, probably on the theory that there is no such thing as a private animal; and some of us (capitalists) appear to see only private property, as though they were aborigines, dig ging everything they consume out of the earth by themselves. Knowledge of civil government has never been thoroughly collected and classified. As President Wilson stated in a recent Paris speech, poli tics, and especially its economic di vision, is still not scientifically de veloped. The reason for this may lie in the Influence of the world's kings and profiteers, on many of the moWers of popular education. However, the development of true political ideas and ideals is a public work in which we all have a private Interest, and the humblest of us should, add our bit to the drive, re gardless of the discouragement from either autocratic leaders or back number followers. WILLIS HUDSPETH. DREAMLAND ADVENTURE By DADDY. (With Chrlstmaa close at hand, Santa C)aus cannot be found by his relndoor. They seek the help of Peggy and Billy Belgium In finding him.) CHATTER III. lVRgy Sees Santa Clans. PEGGY Jumped to see what Billy Belgium had discovered in Santa Claus's All-Seeing glasses. As her eyes gazed Into the long tubes she gave a cry of wonder. The vision she beheld was strange and surprising. The glasses revealed not Arctic snow and ice, but a warm land of the east a land of waving trees, of sunbaked plains, of fruitful valleys, of towering mountains. In this land, gathered around a well, were many children, hungry looking, ragged, with long-suffering marked on their faces. They wera brown of skin and their cloths were "Jiow everybody shout!" ordered. Peggy foreign to Peggy. Tet In pictures, surely, she had seen Just such chil dren. "Who are they?" she asked Billy Belgium. "Armenians! Starving Armenians! Cruel sufferers from the war," he answered. "Do you see the man near the airplane?"

And then in the havoc of mad desperation, Our heroes, determined and fearless and brave. Swept on through the fight with renewed consecration Till victory was theirs in the battle they gave.

HOPEWELL. Tekamah, Neb. man He stood beside an airplane close to the well. Around him were clustered the' children. Their hands were outstretched to him and he was giving them food from a huge sack. The man had white hair and a Ions white beard. Somehow he looked familiar. As she studied him the man passed out his last loaf of bread to the lasi little eager hand stretched toward him, and his face lit up with a beau tiful. Jolly smile He waved his hand to the children and started to put on his hat and coat. Then in a flash Peggy knew who it was. It was Santa Claus himself. She hadn't known him at once be cause never before, not even in a picture, had she seen him without his fur hat and coat. . Santa Claus seated himself In the airplane and soared merrily away. There came a remarkable change in the vision. The warm land faded away and in Its place was a country buried in the snows of winter. It was a country of ruins, but there were children there, too hungry children streaming into a wrecked school building. Within the school they seated themselves at tables and Santa Claus bustled in with a fresh sack of food and a great pail of soup." . "Look!" cried Peggy to Billy Bel glum. "Oh, oh," cried Billy jumping up and down. "Belgium! My school room. See my name on that old desk. And my old comrades, but, oh, so many are missing." Peggy turned to the wondering reindeer. "That's where Santa Claus Is. He is feeding the hungry children of the war lands." ' "Oh ,why didn't we think of that?" cried the reindeer, shading their bells in a loud peal: "We might have known. It Is Just like him." "Look In here!" said Billy Belgium to Prancer. "Gracious! He's Just as Jolly as ever, but not so fat!" cried Prancer. All the other reindeers took a look, and every one cried out: "Gracious! Isn't he awfully thin!" "Why didn't you ever look In these glasses before?" asked Billy. "Because we are not wonderful detectives like you," cried the rein deer. "It really was clever of you, Billy," added Peggy. , "But how are we going to get Santa Claus back here for his Christ mas work?" asked Prancer. "We can't take hinji from those hungry children," protested Billy. "Maybe, If we could talk to him he could tell us what to do for the toy-hungry little ones of America," suggested Peggy. "That's so. Hall, wise Princess Peggy!" cried the reindeer. "But how are you going to talk to him?' Peggy and Billy Belgium looked at each other. They couldn't answer that. Peggy's eyes, wandering around the room, came to rest upon the great horn through which Santa Claus heard the cries of the bad chil dren. "If we could turn that horn around and shout at Santa Claus," she mused. "That's easy," cried Prancer, and In a trice the horn was turned inside 6ut. "Now everybody shout," Peggy or dered. "Santa Claus, come home, come home." shouted the reindeer, Jang ling their bells loudly. "Hurrah! Hurrah! He has heard you! He la coming!" shrieked Billy Belgium, looking Into the All-Seeing glasses.
