Kansas City has produced the prize sucker crop so far reported. ( ! ' - Foch at the front ought to convince the sullen Huns that the Allies mean business. The hog market seems to be slowly getting the news that the cost of living is to come down. It is quite in reason' that Village Clerk Dry should come to Omaha to buy a second-hand water wagon. Candy is to cost more, according to the con fectioners, who know how to gauge the coun try's sweet tooth, y ' ' What women wear still disturbs a lot of serious-minded persons. It principally inter ests the women, however. Coffeet jobbers say the 100-per-eent in crease story is . untrue, so the first of July is robbed of a lesser terror. . Increase in loans by Omaha banks is a proof that money Is going to work without waiting for a new wage schedule. "Pershing has been made a doctor -of laws by St Andrews, 'but he got hrs degree as bach elor of law here in Nebraska, ' The Dutch deny having agreeed to surrender Herr Hohenrollern, but just wait until the sheriff comes with the papers. One of Omaha's proudest possessions is good health, but that is a condition for which it has to thank.no expert from abroad. Turning dandelions into wine may rid the lawns of their presence, and likewise, it may get the - turners into trouble with the state. Austria will be told the worst on Wednes day, which will long be remembered by the delegates and their successors as an important date. ' A chestnut tree 400 years old has just been destroyed in , Pennsylvania. But "chestnuts" many times older than that tree will continue to circulate. ;; , . ' President Wilson again tells Europeans Americans are not mere dollar worshippers. No, indeed, but we are in a' fair way to learn the value of them. . , Herr Ebert promises us another exhibition of '"psychic furor Teutonicus." Having sur vived four years of it we may be able to pull through the impending infliction. : The Navy department has met the steel combine head on. It will commandeer the ma terial needed and settle the price later on. That is one way of dealing with a hold-up combina tion. .'"': v Arresting "dope peddlers" here and there is part of the police duty, but the surest way to discourage the traffic is to get aftet; the big men who supply the peddlers and who reap the rich profits. ' ' ' Pancho Villa has fixed the scale for miners -under his jurisdiction at $1.25 a day with noth ing said about eight hours or overtime. He is showing the lowly peon the beauty of govern ment control. , Congressman Gallivan of Boston is going, to introduce a bill to repeal "war-time" pro hibition.1 It would have been more to the point if he had shown some activity when his party was' tacking that rider on to an appropriation bill. ' 1 Autocracy's Loss in Pay The collapse in imperialism has brought vast changes in royal incomes. When the war be gan the kaiser received from the state $3,737,386 a year and an immense sum in addition from castles, forests and private property. The Aus trian emperor's allowance was $4,576,000, and . that of the king of Bavaria $1,296,303. Russia's czar over-topped all, and his income included the yield of over a million square miles of culti vated land. 'The sultan of Turkey received ; $5,000,000 annually. Greece paid its king $339, 000 a year. Bulgaria's royal allowance was $416,000. The lesser German princes had in- t convss in six figures, running beyond $800,000 annually in Saxony, and $500,000 in Wurtem- burg. Those who entered the war against Eng - land lost the British marriage allowances voted by Parliament. No other such slump in royal emoluments is found in history. The French revolution was a small incident in comparison. In counting losses and gains the people of the countries that were partners of Germany in the war will notice this form of retrenchment.' The lifting of the burden is of importance lo them in making estimates of the future. -. As far as the kaiser is concerned his income , was much larger than these figures from the of- ficial year-books show. He had many private - investments that paid heavily up to the begin ning of the war. Possibly he is now hard run tor pocket money, but he is of a thrifty turn, ' and no doubt provided as far as he could for all eventualities. Under present conditions he is out of touch with financial as well as political ' s tffaira, a fact that adds to his desire to take up a home in Germany, no matter how humble, ap parently. That it would tte a safe retreat for him is by no means certain. The changes of Poor years have been tremendous. - Empires have crumbled and passed away. The most powerful army in the world has been so crushed that remnants are not in sight and the navy to matchrhas been wiped out. So much for the pretentions of the strongest, most .elaborate and most arrogant military caste tf erSislSii & ojk le-fieocrat. , 1 HAS OMAHA NO MEDICAL TALENT? What it the matter, that every time an im portant public position is opened in Omaha, we must invite some outsider to fill it? Is it pos sible that among all the able, proficient men of science who make their homes here, none is' qualified to fill the office of city health commis sioner, that resort must be had to an eastern man who has never yet visited the city? The Bee knows nothing of the professional ability of Lieut-Col. Edwards, who undoubtedly is splendidly equipped as an expert on sanitation and the like. But does the city stand in urgent need of expert attention along this line? Only this week it was announced from the health commissioner's office that we are very near the top of the list in regard to public health. It scarcely is possible that this condi tion can be greatly improved upon, nor, by the same token, is any especial credit due to the health department because that is so. . That department has, not in many years brought forward any radical reform in the ways of living here. It has faithfully and effectively enforced such salutary laws as have been laid down for the guidance and control of the citi zens in matters affecting the general health of the community, and has encountered little or no obstruction in so doing. The greatest fights Omaha has had to go through along this line was the closing of wells and outdoor closets, thirty years ago, and the regulation of the hand ling and delivery of milk, ten years or so" ago. In neither of these was it necessary, to call in outside help. The business was handled by Omaha doctors. ' ' It is true that the public service should have the best men available, but it is also true that; nothing in Omaha's physical conditions justifies the employment of a health officer from abroad because he is an expert on sanitation, housing conditions and tuberculosis prevention. And this is said in all deference to the opinion ex pressed by the Douglas County Medical society that Omaha has no doctor qualified to serve as city health commissioner. Complaints of the Treaty Yost tnd the Telephone. , Announcement of the intention of Casper E. Yost to retire from the active control of the affairs of the five-state group of Bell telephone properties must draw attention to the ex pansion of the industry in the time since he be came connected with it. ' It was barely a dozen years old when Mr. Yost took up direction of the Nebraska Bell company in 1889. The extension of the service since then, vast as it is, but connotes the ad vance in the science of transmitting the voice over wires and its adaptation to the service of man. The business management of the tele phone has kept place with its development in utility, and it has been in this department Mr. Yost's ability has been chiefly exhibited. As the directing head of the Nebraska com pany he had put its operation at a high stage of efficiency, and when the consolidations were made that brought the Iowa and Northwestern systems into group association with the Ne braska, Casper E. Yost was retained as presi dent. Now that he is giving over the active du ties of executive for those of an advisory sort he is permitted to transfer the work to the care of a man who has grown up with him., W. B. T. Belt, new president, has advanced step by step as 'the telephone has increased,1 and through actual experience has gained a knowledge that should be of immense value to the public and to the tremendous industry he represents. The Bee congratulates Mr. Yost on the suc cess that has crowned his work, and on the fact that he may turn his load of duties over to one so well fitted by training and by nature to carry on. Lincoln Not to Blame. A member of the legislature, exasperated by the action of a group of Lincoln politicians, threatens to ask a referendum vote on that part of the new capitol building law which locates the seat of government at Lincoln. This action would do no good. It is unfair to the Capital City to hold it responsible for the conduct of the know-it-alls who operate from headquarters established there. They are part of the political life of the state. Were the capital to be re moved from Lincoln, it would not eliminate this element Their interests are not so directly bound up in any community that they will be held stationary there. I On the contrary, they could move quite as easily as the government, following it to whatever location might be se lected, and there resuming their business of attending-to other people's affairs. The city of Lincoln has interests quite apart and separate from state politics, and these should, not be made to suffer merely because the actions of the agitators who happen to be domiciled there irritate the citizenship of the state at large. Do not blame Lincoln for something that would equally be held against Grand Island or Kearney or any other Nebraska community that might hold the state house were it located there. "The Port of Missing Men." "Missing in action 1" The direst message that can be sent home concerning a soldier. Any one of a thousand or more, fates may have overtaken him,, but no one knows which. He was last seen by a comrade, when the fight was growing fierce. Around him was the din and crash of battle, the shock of arms, and all the orderly confusion of great forces meeting in deadly conflict.' He did not answer the check roll call, his name is not found on any list of dead or wounded, nor does the enemy prison release" him when its doors are opened. He has vanished. At home parents, wife, children, wait for a word that will tell his fate, and none comes. But throughout the world a search is being made for him. The United States gov ernment will not give him up until definitely it has been established what became of him, or that search is hopeless. And with the govern ment are co-operating the millions of men who made up the army. . They, too, have a keen in terest in the comrade who has disappeared and are looking for him everywhere. Every agency of the great military organization is concerned in this, and from "The Port of Missing Men" they are bringing back to home and rlends those who had been lost. Only 4,444 men of the United States forces are included in this roster; Great Britain has over 80,00a But the search will go on until the' last of these has been returned or the quest is proved absolutely hoocless. The army has its distinctly human side, - From the New York Post. . "It is a good peace," .declared George Clemenceau. But there are dissentient voices even in France. The militarists are disappoint ed, on the one hand, and some socialists profess to be on the other. Somewhat similar is the reception of the peace treaty in England. The Northcliffe Press savs that Lloyd George's promises have not been kept, while the labor party perceives in the treaty, at some points, "a compromise by capitalism and imperialism." The middle body of English opinion, however, heartily approves the work of the peace confer ence. In the United States criticism is almost wholly confined to a small body of stern and unbending republicans, who still talk of dissect ing out the league of nations this would-be very like removing the spinal column of the treaty and then calling it by another name and asking the people to vote on it. , These fantastic proposals will doubtless soon expire of malnutrition. On the treaty as a whole, the American judgment is highly favorable. The well nigh - universal belief is , that the severe terms imposed upon permany were necessary both as a vindication of public law and as a security for the future civilization. Hardly any of the complaints made of the treaty strike, in fact, at its substance. They stick in the bark of its form, of its method of being draughted. There is, for example, the charge that it was framed in vicious "secrecy." Three or four men sat around a table arrd dictated everything behind drawn shades. It does not seem to occur to the critics of the treaty on this score that, if the whole had in truth been a midnight concoction jealously kept from the light, its final publication should have been full of surprises. In fact it contains not a single one of any moment. This deplor ably "secret" document was fully known in advance. Even the Germans did not pretend that it came to them like a thunder clap. They assert that the treaty is "brutal," but they admit that they had had ample knowledge beforehand of all of its important provisions. The fact is that the wickedly secret negotiators managed their publicity very well. From time to time they gave out the results of their labors, so that when, at the end, the whole was put together in one treaty, there was not a single sensation in it. The Germans had been given full notice of the contents of the chalice which was to be pressed to their lips, and the rest of world had been granted opportunity to discuss one part of the treaty after another. In this fact lies the true answer to the accusa tion that the peace conference was not "democratic." Exactly what the authors of this charge means by it, they have never made clear. Some of them seemed to have wanted a mass meeting to negotiate a treaty, with sharp individual debates in public and personal encounters to liven things up for' the reporters. If Clemenceau had hurled a book at Lloyd George and Wilson, had thrown an ink-stand at Orlando, that would have been democratic, we suppose. What other objectors imply in the complaint that the conference was undemo' cratic is that the delegations were not made up properly. They should have contained women and labor leaders. Perhaps, but the only legitimate or useful sense of the word "demo cratic," as applied to the peace conference, is that, not of admitting the public to everything, but laying the results of, everything before the public. And this has been done. The process has been going on for weeks. Bit by bit the treaty has been put before the world. It was only the culmination when Clemenceau on Wed nesday handed to Brockdorff-Rantzau a docu ment of which the latter already knew the con tents. If this be autocratic, make the most of it. No one in his senses expects that any or all of these purely formal objections to the treaty will prevent its ratification by the United States, France or England. In all these countries, the method of approval will be as democratic as even Walt Whitman could wish. In England precedent is to be departed from, in as much as Lloyd George pledged himself to lay the treaty directly before Parliment. The only doubt concerns Germany's decision. That she will .never sign so humiliating and crushing a treaty is stoutly asserted by some German editors and public men. But there is not so much vigor of sincerity in this protest as one would have expected. It may be intended to help along the effort to secure minor modifications in the treaty, and some such it is quite possible that the German delegates may be able to obtain. But the fundamental fact is one openly confessed by Brockdorff-Rantzau. Germany is beaten and Germany is powerless. And she knows well that if she refuses to sign the treaty, her last state would be worse than her first. - . People.

Hoping for the Best A story comes from New York that William Jennings Bryan will present the name of one of his old pastors as a candidate for moderator before the general assembly of the Presbyterian church, when that body meets at St. Louis this month. ' And yet, Mr. Bryan, the story states, is a candidate for the place and that he will be elected. Far be it from this organ, of brotherly love to raise a protest against any arrangement the brethren may make, for we are already com mitted to Brother Bryan's candidacy. We ex pect to (ote for him on the first ballot, and stick until he is elected. We have no second choice. But we fear the consequences if the "boy orator of the Platte" takes the platform and makes one of his cross of gold speeches. We remember the Chicago convention of 1896. We recall the Baltimore convention of 1912. We have a good deal of confidence in the great commoner being able to defeat almost any can didate, even himself, if he goes to do his "derndest," which we hope he is not going to do, this being a religious gathering. And if he is only nominating his former pastor for the purpose of having a little brush with him it looks to us like a cruel joke to play on a former pastor. We'll say that much. Kansas City Star.

The country has been divided Into seven regional dls tricts, or groups of states, for better working purposes. At the head of each district is a chairman familiar with her own particular section, who Is also a member of the women's republican national executive com mittee. Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter of Kansas has been given North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Okla homa, in addition to her own state. Mesdames Thomas H. Carter and Raymond Robins are chalrmen-at-large: Miss Mary Garrett Hay has the chairmanship of the state of New York; Miss Maude Wetmpre, the New England states; Mrs. Flor ence Collins Porter, the California district; Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston, the northwest: Mrs. John Glover South, the southern district and Mrs. Medlll McCormick is in charge of states In the Illinois dis trict. Organization in all these districts has been commenced and state chairmen are being appointed. Cabrera and Carranza. How does Cabrera stand with the Mexican government at present? If you mean how does he stand with the Carranza forces, the answer is, very well. He Is regarded as the leading civilian candidate for the presidency of Mexico, and Is prob ably better known outside the re public than any of the others who aspire to succeed President Car ranza. Several years ago Cabrera served as chairman of the joint commission named to adjudicate the differences between the United States and Mexico. At that time he was in charge of the financial affairs of the Carranza government. Much travel in Europe and in the United States and careful study of methods of government abroad have made him a well informed citizen and ad viser of his country, with his influ ence always cast on the side of liber alism. In his writings and in his public addresses he has done more than any other person to make clear the precise, meaning of the revolu tionary changes through which Mex ico has been passing during the last few years. .

'' SMILING TEACHER and Peggy looked Into the faces ofHhe Be- aouins squauea around them in a circle and saw them for what they were half-barbarians. There was no pity in their eyes, no friendliness. Tho son of the sheik had BDOken Smiling Teacher must become one of the wives of the harem and Peggy must become a slave girl. "Let the ceremony begin," spoke the young Bedouin, releasing Smil ing Teacher from his grasp. She glanced quickly around the circle, seeking a way of escape. But they were hemmed in on' all sides. And beyond was the broad desert stretch ing for miles and miles with no friend or ally to save them. But there was a friend. In all the excitement Smiling Teacher and Peggy had forgotten him. But he had not forgotten them. He was out on the desert sands watching and waiting a chance to aid. Now with preparations for the wedding finish ed, and the son of the sheik about to take the hand of Smiling Teacher, there was a thudding sound as a heavy creature tore through the tents and broke the circle of squat ting Bedouins. A flying spear caught in the robes of the young Bedouin, tangling him so that he fell to the ground. i The heavy creature was the Run away Camel.

From be hind came excited shouts as the Be douins rushed for the horses. Then, looking back, the fugitives saw the Bedouins mount and set off in pur suit. The camel had a good start, but nis load was heavy and the Arabian steeds of the men of th desert were wonderfully swift. "If we can only get to the Geog raphy plane we will be safe," gasped Billy. Nearer and nearer drew the pur suing Bedouins, Capture seemed cer tain. The heavily laden camel could never outrun the Arabian horses. But suddenly they became aware of a roaring sound, like a water-fall or a rapids. The moon grew dark and looking they saw a black cloud rushing down upon them. This cloud swallowed up the Bedouins, as though it were a flood. "A sand storm," grunted the cam el, and abruptly he stopped his flight, and flopped down on his knees. Smiling Teacher. Peggy and Billy again went flying over his head. "Get behind me and cover up your, heads," warned the camel stretching his long neck flat upon the sand. , "No, run , for the plane," cried Billy, and away they raced. - Darting over a ridge and into a hollow, they found the Geography plane before them. In a trice Billy had Jumped into the pilot's seat, while Smiling Teacher and Peggy had darted into the cabin. The en gine started with a roar, the plane darted out of the hollow, and rose into the air. Just as the blinding swirling blizzard of sand swept upon them. The plane rocked and shook, while the sand pelted against the glass cabin like sleet, but they rose and rose until they were in the clear air above. There they . darted for ward at full speed. Into the day light they flashed, then then Peggy suddenly found herself back in her seat at school. Smiling Teacher was smiling at her. So were the other pupils.

MInden, Neb., May 8, 1919. Gov. Samuel R. McKelvIe: Having read the article in the Sunday Omaha Bee, referring to the Injunction filed against you and Clarence A. Davis, attorney general, by the German Lutheran church of the Missouri Synod and one of the Catholic churches of Omaha, let me say: The action of the German Luth eran church does not meet with my approval. I have been a member of this church all my life, educated as I was in the parochial school and living in a community where the population was practically all Ger mans makes me think I know what I am talking about. The Lutheran church Joined hands with the Catholic church, the church that I was taught to believe was the most horrible church organization on the face of the earth. Yet a year ago when five ministers of the Ltitheran church were invited to at tend a Victory loan meeting in the auditorium at Lincoln they deliber ately insulted the state and nation by refusing to attend, on the ground that the -Catholic priests would be present and preside at this meeting, and by their action they cast a re flection of disloyalty upon every member of the Lutheran church. And it took a lot of work to con vince the public that we, as members of the Lutheran church, -were not responsible for this action. I went before the Council of Defense and was instrumental in helping to clear the good name of all loyal. Amer icans of , German descent Prac tically these same men would have you believe that they represent the sentiment of all the members of the German Lutheran church which I deny as not being true. - I know of many who are of my opinion and believe the language law is a good law and ought to be enforced. The reasons given for this injunction as I see them are the best reasons In the world why the law ought to be complied with. The fact that a child when it enters school cannot talk the Amer ican language Is a strong reason why it ought to be taught this language. They say It interferes with the teach ing of religion, which assertion is DAILY CARTOONETTE THAT BlRJl BOOK'S I6ET HEU Glut? ME SomETHING-JFI ASK Jl HlMl i -tt ' - - WD HE DID' - f . unfounded. Language has nothing to do with religion in any sense. But it has a lot to do with making a better and more loyal citizen of a man who is well versed In the lan guage of our country or the lan guage of some foreign country. They say it retards education. I believe if the facts were known the greater per cent of all the children who attended parochial schools which terminates when they are con firmed into the church at 14 or 15 years of age could not pass a sixth grade examination In our public schools, and when placed in our public schools they are so far behind the children of their age that they become discouraged and drop out. This was my experience. My boy's education was ruined on account of this and I say it is all wrong to re tard children In their right to a worldly education. L. A.
