The Georgia station master who sequestrated ' trunks consigned to his care got five years in prison, but he also got the whisky. Experts are now busy telling Hawker what '; he should have done. The big fact is that he did it while they talked about it. A "no gossip" league is being' organized, its purpose to reduce envy, but its effect will very ; likely be to eliminate conversation. Turkey is sputtering around because Italjtis landing Ioops at Smyrna. This is -about the erfd of the protests from the Ottoman. The present 'Irrepressible conflict" seems to be over hours and wages, which was taken up right where it was adjourned for the war. Senator "Jimmy" Reed named no names, but he certainly drew a powerful indictment of somebody, to which a plea must be made some time. 'Delay in fixing the terms for Austria nettles ' the public. Why not apply the treaty given to Germany, taking a few tucks and puckers to '. ; make it fit? Repeal of the "daylight saving" law is said to impend, ihe first great contribution of the new Nebraska delegation in congress to the welfare of the farmer. The start is well made. ' Strange airships flying over Omaha recall the excitement of 1898, when everybody was seeing things at night, most of which never happened, but all of which have finally come to ' pass. " Now comes out the truth. Colonel House is ' said to be "unsentimental," and therefore the complement of the president. Well, the com promise is not proof that the colonel has se s riously affected his chief. 1 Promise to get mail to Omafia an hour ear ' lier in rthe morning will be improved only by performance. The war urgency is about over, ' and business ought to come in for some sort 6f - "favorable consideration from the railroad ad ; ministration. 'It is certainly edifying to note the harmony -v. that subsists between the democratic brethren . in congress, now that they have come to be the ', minority party. They fight worse than when - they were in control, and they could not put . anything over then without republican help. That trio of'New York farmerettes will find themselves a long, long way from Broadway when they reach Dawson county, Nebraska, and r 'they will also find the difference between life "in the glorious open country, where things V grow, and in the great city where even a liberal opinion can not expand. A California pacifist who tried to use the "Spirit of 1776" as a camouflage for his prop ' aganda has just received a taste of the real . spirit of that time, in the form of ten years in i prison. Whatever the fathers may or may not s' have been otherwise, they were devoted to real liberty, and their descendants are doing their utmost to maintain the tradition. The Senate and the Treaty - WOOD GIVES SOUND AD VICE, v "I pray to God there will not be another war, but we will be fools not to prepare for war," said General ' Leonard Wood, addressing the grad uating class at the University of Nebraska. ; Thi it not the voice qf an alarmist; of the militarist, nor of the jingo. It is the sage ad vice of a patriotic citizen, whose experience and observation qualify him to speak on world af fairs. General Wood pleaded for a better policy of preparedness before the war; his admonition was unheeded because Americans had been luiled into a sense of false security by those whose idealism had overgrown their judgment with a veneer of sentimental fungus, and whose advocacy of untried theories was sufficiently ardent to lead people into a blind alley from which hasty retreat was forced by inexorable facts. - We do not want war, but that does not do away with the possibility of war. The nation must not again be permitted to retire into the foolYparadise, from which it was jolted in 1917. Nor should the people again turn responsive ear to the . false prophets whose honeyed phrase deluded Ijiem into that position from which such, herculean effort was required to escape. America will be great only as if be comes solid. Let us have peace, but let us not forget how our liberty was won, nor the price we have paid for its preservation. We may never have another war, but how foolish we will be if we allow the next one to catch us as unready as we were in 19171 Senator Hitchcock says "it is preposterous for the senate to interfere with the negotiations and demand the right to publish a document to which Ihe other party has not agreed." We do not wonder Senator Johnson called that tommyrot The answer to it is simple enough. "The senators who demand to see the full text of the treaty are not interfering with the . negotiations. , The negotiations, such as they are, are going on. But it has been made clear by the conference that they are not to af fect substantially the. terms of the treaty. No material changes will be conceded. The treaty goes practically as it lays. Why, then, should not the co-ordinate branch of the government, or the American people, for that matter, "have the full text for the earliest study? . The obstruction to this demand is not in the interest of the nation. The American people are' asked to take in this treaty the greatest step in their history. Is there anything prepos terous in that the senate, knowing the pressure of time, should demand the earliest opportunity to study such a document? Is there anything preposterous in demanding that the American people should know at the .earliest possible mo ment what they are to be asked to approve and support, if need be. with their blood? It is Senator Hitchcock's position that is preposterous, and he and his colleagues would r do well to make up their minds that the treaty of Versailles is not going to be jammed down the throat of this nation. , We all know enough now of the Paris conference to understand that it was not an inspired tribunal, governed by an infallible intelligence. Senator Hitchcock may want the senate and the country to shut our eyes before the blinding glory of the achieve ment, but. if so, he has taken leave of his wits. The treaty of Versailles is going to be examined thoroughly and from the standpoint of the ' safety and welfare of our own country. And ' inasmuch as the earliest possible .peace is ur gently sought by all the world, the quicker the senate, ahd the public begin the examination the better. - That is common sense, which the people will approve, and we advise Senator Hitchcock to ac cept it. Chicago Tribune' Decorate for the Eighty-ninth. When Omaha sent its soldier boys away, the streets were gay with flags and bunting. War was on, and the patriotism of the people found expression in the outward display of national colors and emblems' as much as in the personal effort and sacrific that carried on the serious business. Now the boys are coming back. They have been tried in the fierce fires of conflict. On the bloodiest field ever trampled by Ameri can feet they have held high Old Glory, and under its folds have brought a new triumph and high honor to the flag. , Therefore, when they return again to their homes, they should be welcomed by such show as will leave rio doubt as to the "sentiment of the greeting. Omaha has had many occasions for dressing up, but none more important than this. The duty is imperative -on everybody to make the utmost effort to decorate the city for the march of the infantry and machine pn veterans who soon are to be our honored guests. And let this be done in a way that will surpass anything now on record. Give the heroes, the "Fighting Farmers" pf the Eighty-ninth a welcome home they will never forget. Triumph for the American Navy. The NC-4 made its final "hop" to the main land In Europe yesterday, and completed the overseas flight. For the first time man has crossed an ocean in a heavier-than-air flying machine. The fact that the flight was not made directly from continent to continent does not detract from its value to the scientists who have watched it progress. It has revealed the possi bilities as well as the difficulties in the way of transoceanic air navigation. No one can yet jestimate the value of the contribution to the science of aeronautics! All the spectacular qualities that marked Harry Hawker's venture are missing from the journey of Commander Read and his compan ions. They set about their trip with success almost assured. Careful calculations had been made, based on actual flying experience, the limit of required flight was well within the es tablished range of the machine, and all the known factors of the problem had been reduced to certainty. The loss of two of the planes that started from Trepassey prove that 'some things were not within the control of the men who set out on the high emprise. Vagaries of the weather will menace the 1 air voyager until considerable improvement has followed in this means of transportation. The point that challenges attention is that the passage is feasible. What it holds for the future of peace and war alike will admit of limitless speculation. The submarine, that did such havoc in the last five years, was long an unrealized dream. Its development under the stress of war showed such possibilities as are yet only fully realized by the experts. Simi larly, aerial navigation expanded with wonder ful rapidity to meet ever-increasing require ments of war, so that in these directions man moved much faster than he did in time of peace. The impulse has been awakened, and the crossing of the Atlantic by the navy's flying men is one of the earlier manifestations of what yet may become ordinary accomplishments. That our navy leads again must be accepted basis for reasonable pride, but the fact is that we. are so accustomed to our sailors showing the way and so will not get greatly fussed up over the fact that they continue to make good. Show of Force for Germany. Some of the critical reviewers of proceedings at Versailles are inclined to the view that Ger many will seek to save what is left of the na tional face by requiring a show of force before signing the treaty. This seems to be in line with the psychology of the nation. Confronted by the inevitable, they will only submit in the physical presence of the force that compels them. In other words, they will not sign the treaty because it is- just and right that they shoulc", but because they have no other alter native. . Defeat will rankle in the German mind for many years, retarding the restoration of the nation to a place among the other na tions of the world. In time, however, the rancor will subside, overcome by the healththat will follow industrious application to the payment of debts incurred by the mad attempt to sub jugate the world. New life will spring up in Germany, and with it an ambition to serve rather than to conquer. The present mood may require the exhibition of armed power, for that is what they are familiar with, but the German of the future will very likely recognize and respond to moral force- Whisky disguised as potatoes failed to get by ' a vigilant booze hound,-who must have known the, affiniry between the two potatoes beingthe source of the most potent of "potheen." , Yankee boys are all ready to make the "hop" into Germany if occasion requires, but the pros pects are they never will see Berlin or get much closer than they are right now . Holland and the Ex-Kaiser From the New York Times. The Dutch government denied, on the four teenth, that it had decided to surrender the ex-kaiser for trial, as required by the terms of the peace treaty. There had been conflicting reports about the action it would take in re sponse to the peace conference's request for surrender of the extradition, which, the Dutch legation at Paris says, was received at The Hague on or before the eleveith. William Hohenzollern was still at Amerongen, hoping that he could remain there during the summer, or be permitted to occupy the Nettlehorst cas tle, which he bought for $260,000 in February. With one or two exceptions the Dutch news papers have expressed the disapproval of the peace terms. A prominent journal published at Amsterdam argues against surrender of the ex kaiser, saying that he could not have a fair trial before the proposed tribunal. It does not expect .that he will be taken by force, but fore sees that refusal to give him up would arouse the displeasure of the allied powers. . Why should Holland's government or people desire to protect this man and to prevent his trial for "the supreme offense against interna tional morality anck the sanctity of treaties? Throughout the war Holland was bullied and abused by the kaiser and the Berlin govern ment.. Scores of Dutch merchant ships, some of them in hospital service were sunk by Ger man submarines, which attacked and destroyed even the fishermen's boats along the coast, shelMng unfortunate victims while they were trying to escape on rafts or in little skiffs. Many Dutch ships were tied up in home ports by the kaiser's warning that they would be sunk if they should go out. For the same rea son others were idle in our harbors for a long time until they were seized and set at work. The owning companies have received more than $40,000,000 for the use of their property, but the money, which has permitted payment of large -dividends did not come from Germany. Have the people of Holland forgotten the riots in shore towns when bodies of murdered fisher men were recovered "and shown? Have they forgotten their short rations due to Germany's demands -for food supplies? Holland needs foodstuffs,' raw material, and coal. Since the armistice she has been receiving large quantities of these products from the United States. Until December our exports to Holland during the year 1918 had averaged less than $700,000 a month. In December they rose to $3,842,000, in January to $10,736,000, and have since .continued at about this rate. In the four months beginning with December we sent to Holland $23,000,000 worth of breadstuffs, 11, 000,000 pounds of cotton, 22,000,000 pounds of cottonseed oil, and 20,000,000 gallons of oil for fuel and lubrication. Manufacturers there are getting 155,000 tons of coal a month from Eng land. Belgium and this country. They want 150,000 more and hope to increase shipments from the United States. If Holland should fe fuse to give up the ex-kaiser and should insist upon keeping him out of court, she could not reasonably expect that the United States and England would be eager to fill promptly her orders for coal and raw materials, which are also needed in countries that are associated with us in the war. She might be able to hold and cherish the ex-kaiser, but he cannot keep her factories at work and feed her people. No Monopoly on the Ocean The late J. P. Morgan's transatlantic ship ping combination of 1902 is now breaking up. Nearly 1,000,000 tons of its gross ship tonnage of 1,200.000 are to be sold to some British com pany of unknown identity. This tonnage will include chiefly the ships of the old White Star and Leyland lines, which are the British com panies whose stock is owned in great part by the International Mercantile Marine company, an American corporation. All that is left to this concern will be its ships of American reg istry and those of the Red Star Line of Bel gium. The United States government had a chance to buy these British registry ships and for months the holding company seems to have played for bids between Washington and Lon don. Whether the British price of $130,000,000 now accepted alone stod in the way is not clear, but the probability is that with the great ton nage already built and building under the United States Shipping board it was felt in Washington that the government had enough ships on its hands and that in any event a dominant position again on the seas is assured to the American mercantile marine. As a "trust" this was the least of Mr. Mor gan's successes. It could make no headway against the broad bosom ot ttie ocean as a iree and open way for all comers with capital enough even to own no more than a tramp freio-hter. The orooosition Droved to be quite different from that of combining railroads of exclusive position or steel plants with more or less exclusive resources in ore ana coal, ine ocean cannot be monopolized. New York World. Let Them Mourn Nothing so befits the facts of the world war than that Germany gave itself over to a "week of moumine" last week. For it is about time that the German people, down to the inhab itants of the smallest hamlet, knew what their oresent humiliation means and why they are now sitting on the stool of repentance. They had their hurrah days and the school children were given their freedom and" went out with flaes to celebrate the sinking of the Lusitania. And .the schoolmasters openly indulged their classes in the frank discussion "as to which na tion the Germans should hate the most;" on some days it was England that could not be too eternally hated and "strafed." Then, again, the professorial and kaiserlich and koeniglich hates were directed at America, which also was included in the countries that were first to be terrorized by frightfulness, then brought into subjection by punishments that were to know no mercy and then, when conquered, were to be exploited forevver to make a kaiser's birthday. But all that is over, and Germany vanquish ed does not like the medicine. So, as the peace terms penetrate, there is the inevitable reaction of the "morning after.." But the nation-wide expression of remorse, through closed theaters and bandless cafes, Germanlike, was accom panied by a mischievous twist that is expected to affect the soft-hearted in the countries that have laid down the peace terms.. In this ex pectation, however, Germany and its present wabbling government are doomed to failure. Philadelphia Ledger. Our Free Legal Aid State your case clearly but , briefly and a reliable lawyer will furnish the answer or advise in this column. Your name will not be printed. Let The Bee Advise You Account Seated. G.. M. Last year I made a con tract with a contractor to do cer tain work for me -for a stipulated price. As the work progressed it became necessary to change certain things called for in the contract which we agreed upon verbally, but nothing was said as to the consider ation. When I went tq pay the con tractor we had a dispute about the price of the extra items. He filed liens against my property for the original contract price, plus what he claimed the extra cost amounted to on account of the changes.. After wards we agreed on a settlement which was less than the amount for which he filed a lien, and he agreed to give me 90 days to pay the whole account, and he wrote a letter t this effect, which also stated the price we agreed on. Wen the 90 days expired I was out of the city and did not return for several days thereafter, when I found that he had brought suit against me for the amount which he had filed a lien for. Can he recover more .than the amount we agreed upon at the time he promised to give me 90 days to pay the whole sum? ! Answer Under the above facts your account became an account stated at the time you agreed to a settlement and he extended the time for payment and was a final adjust ment between you as to the mount due, and in my opinion he cannot now recover more than that amount. Escrow. R. L. M. What is meant by the delivery of a deed In escrow? ? Answer The delivery of a deed in escrow is a conditional delivery to a third person or stranger to the transaction to be kept by him until certain conditions or obligations are performed, such as for instance, the purchase price, and when such con ditions have been performed, is. to then be delivered to the grantee or person entitled thereto. Guardianship. J. L. M. Will you tell me what to do in appointing a guardian for a person not' able to look after their own business. Do I have to employ an attorney? Answer The proper thing ror you to do is to employ an attorney, who will prepare and file the necessary application in the proper court. MUCH IN LITTLE. The suicide rate of Germany was before the war the highest in 'the world 21 in 100,000 yearly. An artificial rubber of Dutch in-' vention is said to use freshly caught sea fish as the chief ingredient. By simplifying the system of tick ets given to London's omnibus pas sengers a saving of 100 tons of pa per pulp a year was effected. An inventor has mounted a shav ing mirror on four flexible legs which will grasp almost any upright object or support the mirror on a horizontal surface. Following signing of peace terms, Germany will be left with approxi mately1 95 steamers, with aggregate tonnage of 123,500 tons, exclusive of fishing fleet. , From a mixture of sugar cane ref use and bamboo fiber a Trinidad planter has succeeded in making a paper equal in quality, to the best wood pulp product. In a New York inventor's double control system for teaching persons to drive automobiles the instructor's steering wheel and brake equipment are larger than the learner's to give the former more power. To prevent pipes leading from tanks freezing an attachment has been invented by which liquids can be piped from a tank, the supply from the tank shut off and the pipe emptied or both pipe and tank drained. A Mexican citizen of Mazatlan re cently has been granted a concession of 100 hectares (about 247 acres) and so much more as may be nec essary, at the railway station of Oso, state of Sinaloa, for the purpose or establishing an experimental farm to demonstrate the economic value which would result from the proper use of modern American agricul tural machinery in the production of crops. The Netherlands legation -ai Washington reports that an asso ciation has been created in tne Netherlands with a view to organ izing in July next an exhibition for aerial navigation at. Amsterdam. This exhibition, which is to be an international one, will not include military aviation, but will concern solely aerial navigation in peace time for the promotion of commer cial and general purposes.

OUR mortgage is not due until six o'clock," said the Widow Clancy to Miser Jenkins. "If I can raise $600 by that time,, you'll have no claim on he farm. Perhaps Neighbor Brown can lend It to me." Th children out side heard the clatter of the Widow's shoes as she hurried across the floor, then the door slammed and thex saw her running up the road toward the home of Neighbor Brown. "He, he, he!" laughed Miser Jen kins to himself after the widow had gone. "This farm shall be mine and nobody knows that it covers a field of coal coal that will make me rich. He, he, he!" "The rascal!" exclaimed Billy, standing on tiptoe to peek Into the room. What he saw made him wonder. Miser Jenkins had climbed on a chair and was setting the' clock ahead. "He, he, he!" tittered the miser. "At six 6 o'clock the farm becomes mine, and it's 6 o'clock now. He, he, he!" titttered the miser. "Attaoi he, he!" "Stepping down from the chair, he set his own watch ahead, chuckling as he did so. I'll liot stand for such cheating." exclaimed Billy. "And I'm going to tell him so." Before Peggy and Pat knew what he was goingto do he had dashed Into the house and was cofronting Miser Jenkins. His voice came through the window loud and excited. "Isaw you turn that clock ahead," he boldy told the miser. You've tryln to cheat the widow out of her fram." "Ah, a spy!" shoujed the miser angrily. "I'll fls'you!" There was a sound of a scuffle, a "I saw you turn the clock ahead," he boldy told the mlsor. muffled scream then a dragging nose. Peggy and 'Pat, cowering beneath the window, feared that something awful had happened to Billy Summoning, all their courage, they climbed on a block of wood and look.d into the window. The miser was lurking a closet door, but Billy was not in sight. The miser glanced furtively around, then tiptoed into another room, from which he xould see the road. He wanted to learn if the Widow Clancy was coming back. "The miser locked Billy in that closet. I'm going to rescue him," murmured. Pat to Peggy. "Give me a boost!" He put his hands on the window sill, and Peggy lifted his legs. With a big heave, Pat climbed through the window. He started for the closet, but before he got there, Miser Jen kins dashed back. "Another spy!" he shouted, grab ing Pat. "Help." shouted Pat. before the miser grabbed him. Peggy jumped to answer the call. She ran to the door, threw it open, and rushed into the room as the miser was bind ing with a clothes line. Quick as a Mash, the miser grabbed Peggy, too, ond in an instant she found heself tied up tight, and her mouth muffled with a towel. The, miser dragged her to a closet and threw her within. There was Billy also tied up. Shov ing Pat in with them," the miser locked the door, leaving them in darkness. But they couldn't speak nor see, they could hear. The sound of foot steps came to them, andthen the widow's voice. "Neighbor Brown wasn't home. Please give me time to go to town." "Not a minute. " replied the harsh voice of the miser.
