her girlhood, will eventually receive the re

tablished a shrine at which all lovers of human
liberty long will bow. No name in all the long

Labor Not Pro-Bolshevik
The appeal of the heads of the printing
trades unions to the American newspaper pub
lishers for aid in fighting the spread of ultra
radical principles and policies in this country,
loosely classified as "bolshevism," by no means
misstates the situation.' Owing to the fact that
the mass of people in this country are absolutely
without any leaning toward the Russian brand
of government by chaos and have made no ef
fort to meet any of the claims as to the millen
nial value of bolshevism,' a number of parlor
, bolsheviks as well as malign radicals among the
industrial groups have taken advantage of such
an easy-going attitude by a shrill and irrespon
sible assertiveness that makes statements but
never argue.
This is the familiar method of the demo
gogues of all time, and in a way has been al
most too successful, for the thinking elements
n this country have been so taken by surprise
by the audacity of the pro-bolshevik orators that
they are only now beginning to realize that
these unopposed, utterances at labor meetings,
:hurch gatherings, before reform clubs and cir
:ulated broadly in the shape of the most cun
ningly devised lies about Russia and extravagant
:laims about radicalism that have ever been
printed have had a very serious effect. What
these radicals say and assert and circulate can
easily be answered; but the printing trades
anions in calling attention to the fact that
: they have not been answered have done a
public service. Philadelphia Ledger.
GERMANY DECLINES: WHAT FOLLOWS
Herr Scheidemann, late imperial chancellor,
now premier, of the German government, an
nounces that peace conditions laid down are not
such as Germany can accept His declaration
was received with a burst of enthusiasm that
must have recalled to the older members of the
assembly the scene in the Reichstag in 1914
when von Bethmann-Hollweg announced that
war had been declared. The diff erence, how
ever, will suggest itself to the most deluded of
the present enthusiasts. '
Passive resistance is a doctrine little 'under
stood in this country. Americans have no
sympathy with it Those who practice it de
clare, "We will do what we like; if you try to
coerce us, we will neither resist or' submit"
This presents a new prpblem to the world.
A people that ruthlessly enforced its own de
crees against weaker ones declines to accept
terms laid down for it by a council of great na
tions. These terms will be enforced in some
fashion. Just how is not plain, but a way will
be found to bring Germany to realize the pre
dicament in which it has been placed through
its own misdeeds. One thing the Germans may
rely on is that the nations of the world will have,
no compunction in applying .the Pauline
doctrine: "Unless a man work, neither shall he
eat." .,' ....
Germany may neither submit toterms nor
fight to oppose them. That is optional with the
Germans. But the Allies will not be compelled
to feed them.
Four Per Cent Increased Appropriations.
With the partisan perversity for which it has
become notorious, the Omaha Hyphenated
whoops in glee as it assails Governor McKel
vie's analysis of the appropriations made by the
late legislature. It is true that the total of
money set aside by the legislature amounts to.
$15,929,482.48 as against $9,694,189.02 for the pre
ceding biennium, an apparent increase of $6,235,
303.46) or 64.2 per cent. On this the republicans
might be accused of reckless extravagance. A
little examination will show quite a different
aspect of the case.
Of the total appropriations $3,093,262 was
set aside for good roads; $1,695,000 for the new
state house; $100,000 for vocational educational
purposes. These expenditures are to take -care
of matters the democratic party carefully side
stepped when it was in power. Other increases
in amounts set aside include charges for sup
port of the state institutions, the university,
suppression of bovine tuberculosis, swine plague
and for social hygiene, bringing the total under
these heads up to $5,490,517. When' credit is
given for the $661,000 the democrats set apart
for good roads, the deficiency appropriations,
and all other offsets, it appears that the repub
licans actually increased the bill for running
the state for the next two years by $465,289.73
over the record made by the democrats, or only
4 per cent And it must be kept in mind that
the democratic provision for maintaining the
business affairs of Nebraska resulted in de
ficiencies of $313,277, or almost the total of the
increase now complained of.
Much will be heard of this matter during
the next few months. It will be wise for the
taxpayers to keep in mind that the greater part,
almost the total of the increased expenditure
is on capital account, investment in permanent
improvements urgently needed by the state.
"Batter Upl Let's Go!"
The Western League base ball season opens
inpmaha today. It does not matter much how
long this has been going on; men who were not
born when the event first observed achieved
distinction in the recent disturbance across the
water, and others who saw the first ball tossed
out that day will be on hand to observe pro
ceedings this afternoon. Base ball is a national
institution, and the Western league is part of
Omaha's life just as is the Missouri river or the
"U. P." bridge. "Al" Tearney says if it were
not for Omaha he does not know what the
Western league would be. The answer to that
is easy there would be no Western league.
That is not an issue, however. The grand game
suffered quite a little as a result of the war;
somewhat in sentiment, but more in pocket.
Now, it is to be revived, and restored if possi
ble to its former high favor. .No other form
of outdoor amusement is as popular, none so
healthy, none so generally taken part in by old
and young. And a live team is always repre
sentative of a live town. Base ball is not played
in cemeteries. Therefore, the opening of the
Western league season is an annual notice to
the world that Omaha is not , vegetating nor
retrograding, but is up and coming along with
the head of the procession.
Justice in the Peace Terms.
Our German foes are not good sports. They
showed this in many ways while the fighting
was going on, but now that attempts are being
made to restore peace they more than ever ex
hibit an unexpected yellow streak. The Tage
blatt of Berlin alludes to the terms as regards'
the restoration of cattle to the countries over
run by the Hun armies as "monstrous and im
possible." When the military hordes were driving the
live stock out of conquered regions and, into
Germany, the Tageblatt pointed "but to its'
readers that the good old German "gott" had
smiled on German arms and permitted his
chosen to despoil the weaklings who foolishly
had undertaken to obstruct the march of kultur.
Three years ago Herr Helfferich boasted
that Germany could not be starved, because not
only had the supply of meat animals within the
land been maintained, but it acutally had sin
creased under war conditions. His figures were
verified by competent British authority. This
was because the Germans had denuded the
regions overrun, and left the inhabitants to
starve. '. '
Americans have not forgotten how they pro
vided food for Belgians, French, Poles, Ser
bians and others left destitute by the German
armies. And all that is now asked of the van
quished is restitution. They played the game,
and they lost. Now they are simply required
to turn over the stakes.
NOjquestion exists as to what would have
happened if the -decision had gone the other
way, therefore even-balanced justice demands
that Germany pay to the uttermost of its abil
ity. And just .as the military leaders gave no
consideration to the situation of the people on
whom they laid heavy fines, from whose ovens
they took bread, so now they have no decent
right to complain that they are treated harshly
iri being required to restore some part of the
loot
Importing German Goods
i ' From the American Economist
Because we have, at different times, said that
following the signing of the treaty of peace,
trade with Germany would be to some extent re
sumed, we have been accused in private con
versation of favoring German importations.
Such an accussation is, of course, far from the
truth. On the contrary, n6t only do we not
favor importations from Germany, but we do
not favor importations from any other country
of goods which can be produced in America.
We have simply made a prediction and our pre
diction is being verified, to a certain extent, at
the present time. "It is a condition not a
theory which confronts us." The "condition"
is thus reported in a recent number of the New
York News-Record:
"Hundreds of cases of German and Austrian-made
merchandise, purchased by Amer
ican importers before the war, are being
passed through the customs here. Some time
ago, when a small amount of this mer
chandise was entered a cry was raised from
one end of the country to the other against
Eermitting the- entry of these goods. Now,
owever, much greater quantities . are being
entered and little comment is heard. ,
"What disposition will be made of these
goods is a question that the importers them
selves seem unwilling to answer at this time.
In the majority of instances they are being
placed in warehouses, apparently with the
object of holding them until such time as
. public, opinion will permit their sale by re
tailers. .
"One outstanding fact, however, is causing
no little comment in customs and import cir
cles, namely, that of the many importers re
ceiving this merchandise, only one concern
has abandoned its consignment."
We thought and predicted just exactly what
has even now come to pass. We are importing
goods from Germany and there is no stir being
made, no abandonment of consignments, with
only one exception. True, these goods were or
dered before the war, but they are being im
ported now." Soon there will be importations of
goods purchased since the war. If anyone
doubts it, we beg to invite his attention to the
fact that recently Senator Hitchcock of Ne
braska was informed through the State depart
ment that arrangement had been made with
Germany to accept potash from that country
in exchange for food. It will thus be seen that
the importation of merchandise from Germany
is an administration policy.
It has also been proposed to accept dyestuffs
from Germany in exchange for food products.
Therefore we were not talking idly when we
predicted the resumption of trade with Ger
many, nor were we favoring Germany. Nor
do we favor that country when we oppose, on
principle, an embargo of German products.
When the treaty, of peace shall have been
signed we are bound to give it the same treat
ment, so far as government policy is con
cerned, that we give to any other nation with
which we are at peace. We have no right to
embargo German-made dyes any more than we
have to embargo English-made dyes. We are
speaking from a national standpoint, not from
an individual standpoint. Each and every firm
and individual has the perfect right to refuse
or deal in German products of any kind. The
government of the United States stands in a
different position. But the government has the
right to place a duty on dyes and potash and
hosiery and lithographs and glassware and every
product under the shining sun, so long as it
treats each and every nation alike. In fact, it
is the duty of the government to place a tariff
duty on each and every commodity 'which can
be produced in the United States and to make
this tariff so amply protective that all such
products can and shall be produced here, to the
practical exclusion of foreign products of the
same class. That.is the only kind of practical
exclusion of foreign products of the same class.
That is the only kind of an embargo which this
nation can afford to indulge in. England may
place its embargoes and provide for its license
systems, but England is, up to date, a free trade
country. When it shall have adopted a pro
tective tariff system, it will abandon embargoes
and license as being archaic and useless. We
shall trade with Germany, but let the tariff wall
be so high that those who choose to patronize
the industries of our erstwhile enemies shall
have to pay amply for the privilege, while the
refcfc of us shall be satisfied to purchase goods
at a lower cost price, because they are "Made in
America."
North and South in China
After that infinity of time which seems
necessary to every Chinese political operation,
north and sduth in China have at last got to
gether in Shanghai to discuss peace. The
course of China is that for many a long year
now north and south have been unable either
to work together or to conquer one another.
That is why the revolution of 1911 led to the
paradox of the Yuan Shih-Kai presidency, why
Yuan Shih-Kai failed to establish a dynasty,
why Li Yuan Hung made the" great refusal, and
why Tuna Chi-Jui's schemes went wrong. We
are told that the delegates of north and south
are agreed that the root of the trouble is mili
tarism. We are afraid that there is some slight
concession here to current jargon. The corrupt
generals, like' the corrupt politicians, are as
suredly a scourge to China, but if the Chinese
had the will they could pretty quickly get the
better of these pests. They have failed hitherto
to develop the will because they had failed to
develop to a sufficient degree the sense of na
tional unity and the sense of the state. The
people of the south differ in temperament and
intellect from those of the north, and the ave
rage Chinese hardly comprehends the idea of
m impersonal political, social or economic
entity. There will be no enduring peace issue
from the Shanghai negotiations unless, under
the lash of the last few bitter years, the sense
of national unity and of the state has grown.
The Chinese are prone to attribute their trou
bles to the foreigner, notably the Japanese; but
the foreigner, in so far as he is a troublemaker,
merely takes advantage , of the opportunities
which the defects of the Chinese create. A
people with such fine qualities, as the Chinese
and with so notable a common way of life as
the teaching of Confucius provides ought not to
be brought to ruin by incapacity to cultivate
some very ordinary political understanding

"SMILING TEACHER"
(PefIT and Billy Uki a trip to Africa
with Smiling Teacher aboard a Geof rphy
plana, and while exploring an oaala in the
deiert aea a bandeora young Dedouln.)
CHAPTER IV.
The Lions' Den.
rn HE Bedouin whirled his horse
X and galloped away over the
sand ridges. Smiling teacher came
from behind the tree, where she was
hiding, and gazed after him.
"Isn't he grand?" she sighed.
"Wouldn't it be romantic if we were
attacked by savages and he came to
the rescue?" ,
Peggy thought that It would be,
fcu' at the same time she felt that
the young Bedouin was pretty much
of a savage himself and that any one
in his clutches might have to be res
cued by some other hero. Later she
was to And this to be true. '
While Peggy and Smiling Teacher
were following the Bedouin with
their eyes, Billy was exploring the
oasis. An excited exclamation from
him brought the others to . his side.
He was looking Into a rocky cave.
"Maybe it's a lion's den," he whis
pered. ,
"Yes. Come away quickly," an
swered Smiling Teacher, dragging
Peggy toward the desert. But anoth-

Another second and he was beside

er exclamation from Billy caused
them to turn back.
"Oh, see the funny puppies!.'! he
erled.
' Out of the cave had rumbled two
fuzzy, playful little creatures. They
were wrestling with each other and
having the Jolliest kind of a time.
"What pretty doggies!" cried
Peggy.
The doggies, rolling over and over
In their play, came almost to Billy
Belgium before they saw him. -
"Here puppies, here!" he coaxed,
holding out his hands to them.
"Ur-ur ur urgh!" growled the pup
pies, scampering back to the en
trance of the den. There they turned
to gaze at the three humans in
scared curiosity. At the same time
they set up a whimpering and whin
ing. Billy took a step toward them
and the whine grew louder.
Instantly came a startling response
from the desert at the opposite side
ot the oasis it was a road, thunder
oue and terrifying.
"A lion! Run!" cried Smiling
Teacher, grasping Peggy by the hand
and dragging her toward the desert.
Billy started to follow, when a huge
tawny creature bounded into view.
Billy Jumped behind a tree and the
craature flashed by, making for the

The mother lion snuffed her cubs
to see if they were all right, then
looked around to see what had
alarmed them. She saw Smiling
Teacher and Peggy racing across the
desert and leaped in pursuit.
To save them Billy grabbed up a
scone and hurled it at the lioness. It
caught her In the side and caused
hei to stop and whirl about. Her
eyes fastened upon Billy, and she
started for him. At the same Jnstant
Billy started up a palm tree, climb

reach when the lioness grabbed at
him. ,
"Run! Run!" yelled Billy to Smil
ing Teacher and Peggy. "I'll keep
the lioness here!"
The lioness let out a roar of rage.
Instantly there came an answering
roar from the desert. It was the male
lion coming home.
Another second and he was beside
his mate, looking up at Billy and
lashing his tall savagely. He was
heavily maned and appeared huge
and ferocious.
Presently the Hon saw Smiling
