Did you notice how Omaha warmed up?
The NC-4 is not immune from trouble either.

The "Fighting Farmers" now know Just
where they stand in Nebraska.
Picknickers in public parks should be as safe
from preventable harm as if in their own homes.
Yes, there was discipline when tha men
marched away, but it was not of the iron variety.
Mr. Taft is going to have a busy time in
Omaha, but he will enjoy his experience, for he
knows he is among friends.
The League of Nations may not prevent
war, but it will not make the way to war so
tasy as Wilhelm the Worst found it
"Tell the Associated Press my attitude Is un

cumstances are slightly altered,, however.
All this talk is not helping the people on
West Leavenworth to get the paving they want.
Action somewhere is earnestly hoped for.
Texas "auffs" talk of contesting the election.
This will give hope to the wets also, and they
have fewer votes to overturn than the ladies.
A South Side expert says the crest of high
prices for pork has passed, but the pigs have not
found it out yet, if the market quotations tell
the truth.
Federal authorities are planting fish in Iowa
streams, but the Nebraska state fish car is held
up by an exorbitant rate for hauling. Why this
discrimination?
Talk about the gall of a burglarl It is noth
ing in comparison with the pretense of the
democratic party that it fought the war a.nd now
is setting up universal peace.
1 It is verjr nice for the democrats to talk
about winning the war by liberal expenditure
of money, but the country is beginning to wake
up to some of the methods used.
Austrian visitors at Versailles must wait
until Monday to get official information of what
"is' coming.' In the meantime they may get an
idea by talking with the German delegates.
If the secret service finally overtakes the
bomb senders by reason of the aid given by
chemical analysis of the explosives used, writers
of mystery tales will feel a great uplift.
Settlement of the dispute regarding Fiume
and the Dalmatian coast is the best immediate
argument for the conciliation features of the
League of Nations plan. It surely prevented a
war there.
Socialists are reading 25,000 "extremists" out
of tha party. When one gets too extreme for
thi socialist party, he ought to be read out or
otherwise treated for it Usually a strait-jacket
it resorted to.
Congress promises to help out the big North
Platte irrigation project, thus furnishing em
ployment for hundreds of men and bringing
mora than ft million acres of idle land into serv
ice. No money can be set aside for a more
useful purpose.
Senator Robinson suggests that Senator
Retd can test sentiment on the League of Na
tions by resigning and seeking re-election on a
platform of opposition. "Jimmy," however, re
call! that ft republican was elected by Missouri
last fall to succeed William Joel Stone, and he
will takt no unnecessary chances.
Woman Out gf War
"It it back to our babies and our husbands
for us," says Maj. Helen Bastedo, announcing
tht immediate mustering out of the Women's
Motor Corps of America, the trimly uniformed
body which during the war period has been
conspicuously useful with ambulances and other
service automobiles in New York.
The major's quoted words, stripped of all
other than the most general application to the
sisterhoods of war, well might be the prelude
to a paper in which, in the current Scribner's,
Judge Robert Grant discusses the new attitude
of woman, a by-product of her late Strenuous
service. Says the judge:
i Out of the welter of world agony, and be-
cause of it, she emerges the same old minis-
tering angel with the identical stock in trade. '
tfut nencerortn sne purposes to wear ner rue
" with a difference ;" the war has demonstrated
this if nothing else. She is demobilizing, and
though she may still don her emergency uni
form, she is giving up or retiring with good
grace from her emergency occupations. Her
net social gain appears in her having broken
in the course of four years no end of hobbies
hobbies both of body and soul, hobbies that
she has thrown off forever. And the net gain
resulting to man is that she still aspires to re
" main fundamentally what she was before.
.'. The fear that the world is to be unsexed as
a result of woman's abnormal activities during
the last four years does not enter into the out
look here suggested. But Judge Grant does see
- the new feminine courage of the soul affecting
notably affairs of the home, intensifying the is
sues of marriage and divorce. Wife beating, it
is admitted, is not obselete. But it is far less
frequent, largely because the wife no longer
submits. And this is only onephase of the
difference in attitude and courage in the daily
life which the war has not originated but has
certainly confirmed in woman. Under the new
appreciation of their earning power, "nice wo
men are virtually protected from airing their
grievances in public; they have only to leave the
key of the flat under the door-mat and' go.."
New York World.
WORKING FOR PERMANENT PEACE.
Omaha is today to hear from a number of
eminent men and women, who are striving to
secure support for a movement that looks to
permanent peace for the world. They will be
heard for themselves, as well as for their cause.
From the very beginnings of the United
States, American political genius has sought a
substitute for war. Settlement of international
disputes by conciliation, or by arbitration, and
the avoidance of armed conflict has marked our
course from the very first. It is not surprising,
therefore, that ready ears are turned to anyone
who promises an end to war.
The League of Nations may be that means.
Its advocates urge that at least it is entitled
to a trial. In its provisions they see methods
by which it is possible to avoid war and with
out disturbing the right of any nation to con
trol of its affairs, except that it denies the right
of aggressive warfare to any.
With aggressive warfare made difficult, de
fensive warfare scarcely can be considered pos
sible. Here is the meat of the whole matter.
Opponents to the league find many objec
tions, any one of which might seem insuper
able until analyzed, and all of them resting
finally on the determination of the United
States to remain aloof from the political affairs
of the world. This we can not do. In 1898-99
we broke away from our isolation, and became
a world power in reality. Since that day duties
and obligations have increased, and our in
timacy with other nations has advanced, until
it is impossible that we can go back to where
we were. We are asked to surrender no more
of our national sovereignty than is required of
others. It is on the principle that an individual
lays aside some portion of. his natural rights
when he comes into communal life with other
men.
It is difficult to believe that the opponents of
the league really want the United States to re
tire within its own borders and remain there
inactive and indifferent to what is going on
elsewhere, holding commercial relations, but
evading all moral responsibility. As exponents
of civilization we must take our share in the
world's work, aiding the backward and helpless,
giving of our plenty to the less fortunate, and
so make certain the spread of light and peace.
This can be done without endangering our
national existence; at least wise and patriotic
men think it may be done. Is it not worth
while, to try one more-experiment, in hope of
finding something that will serve to settle dis
putes between nations without resort to arms?
Make the Parks Safe.
The dreadful accident at Riverview park
brings up another question of city administra
tion. The safety of children while enjoying the
public playgrounds should be the very first con
sideration. Nothing should be interposed be
tween them and the use of any part of the parks,
but they should be watched and warded against
all danger. It may be difficult to fix the respon
sibility for the drowning of the little ones, but
somebody is to blame for their being out in the
water in frail craft alone. The pond at River
view is small, but size is not a factor in such
affairs. That the pulmotors were not ready in
the emergency is another cause for complaint.
Somebody is to blame for that. No amount of
censure will restore to the sorrowing families
one of the little folks who died in the water,
but the lesson ought to stir the authorities to
needed action.
Democratic Campaign Funds.
Chairman Cummings says he expects to
raise the fund for financing the democratic cam
paign of 1920 on entirely new methods. This
is only what might have been expected, if the
committee is to have any money, for it is a
cinch it can not look to the old source of sup
plies. Prohibition has put that out of business.
The brewers' big horses will no longer cavort
around the headquarters. So he is going to
allow 1,500,000 persons to contribute to the
fund. Why does he limit the number? Any
body who voted for the ticket in 1916 in re
sponse to the cry, "He kept us out of war!"
ought to be required to pay a fine into the ex
chequer of the party to help it get out of
trouble. If this is followed, the chairman will
not lack for means. One other feature of the
Chicago conference deserves notice. Treasurer
Marsh is reported to have reviewed the history
of the campaign fund from the days of Samuel
J. Tilden down to Woodrow Wilson. This should
have been rare, rich and spicy. What do you
think "Seven-Mule" Barnum would say if he
could hear the present goings-on? Anyhow,
"Jim-K." Jones of Arkansas is entitled to credit
for the plan of raising funds by laying assess
ments on individual democrats. He did it to
help out the Bryan campaigns, and very nearly
made it succeed. If he had had more sub
scribers and Bryan had got enough votes, it
would have been a wonder-worker.
America's Corner Stone.
Can you imagine anything more impressive
than a column of American soldiers? Not alone
is it the strength and vigor of young manhood,
in all its glory, but it is the dignity and might,
of the world's greatest people that marches by.
And when to this is united the loving tender
ness of the home, as exhibited by the greeting
given the returned soldiers in Omaha, all the
imposing majesty of America is made clear. It
springs from the home, and the home is safe
while it has the devoted men and women to
cherish it and these splendid boys and girls to
defend it. "From scenes such as this Auld
Scotia's grandeur springs," sang Burns in cele
bration of the family reunion, and that aptly
applies to the scenes witnessed here yesterday.
It is a guaranty of the perpetuity of the republic.
Harry Hawker's Mistake.
Harry Hawker makes a serious mistake when
he -undertakes to interpose any technical
criticism between the NC-4 and the glory of
its flight. He has been given the utmost of ap
plause for his effort. Nowhere was admiration
for his pluck and dash more universally ex
pressed than in America. That he is chagrined
at the outcome may easily be understood, and
the world has given proof of its sympathy with
him. It would be unwise for him now to per
mit his personal disappointment to lead him to
into forfeiting the high regard in which he is
held. The NC-4 was on a totally different mis
sion from the one he engaged in; it was not
mere lack of faith in the engine that led to the
stationing of patrols along the way. Experience
of the NC-1 and NC-3 demonstrated the wis
dom of this plan, and Hawker supplies in his
own adventure justification for the precaution.
Tax Reduction Prospects
From the New York Times.
The law under which the federal taxes are
payable this year provided also for next year's
rates at a reduction which will yield an esti
mated four billions, instead of this year's six
billions. The reduction is from a normal rate
of 12 per cent to 8 per cent, the surtaxes being
unchanged. The expectation of further reduc
tions in rate wil be disappointed, according to
interviews with Senator Smoot and Represen
tative Fordney reported in yesterday's -Times,
but they hold out hopes of alleviation in
methods of assessment and collection. The rea
son that there can be no further reduction is
that the treasury needs al that the taxes will
yield. Taking the period of war finance as a
whole, bonds and taxes will yield a total of
25,000,000,000, and the nation's obligations be
fore July 1, 1920. will reach a total of $33,000,
000,000, making $8,000,000,000 more needed, and
which it is thought the treasury can by com
paratively short-term issues placed with the
banks. The only hope of reducing the amount
of treasury paper to be issued is that better tax
methods may raise more money than the
Kitchen methods.
Senator Smoot's proposal is to lay profit
taxes in the method of the income taxes, includ
ing all profits at graduated rates, but with sim
plification in method of assessment. The harass
ment under the present law is as much in the
accounting as in the payment. The taxpayer in
business on any considerable scale has to em
ploy high talent to calculate his taxes, taking
into consideration capital stock, borrowed
money, the intangible assets, the valuation of
the intangible assets, including good will and
patents, overcapitalization and undercapitaliza
tion," etc. The substitute proposed is to tax
all profits above the average established for the
respective trades on an average of five pre-war
years. The removal of complexities and dis
criminations and harassments through legal and
accounting niceties would be a blessed relief,
alike to the treasury and business, independ
ently of the results on the amounts payable un
der Senator Smoot's plan.
Representative Fordney's idea of the treas
ury's necessities is that the tax yield of $4,000,
000,000 will be $1,000,000,000 too small. He cal
culates that the railways will need $1,000,000,000
for their deficit, and that the army and navy
will need another $1,000,000,000 to cover en
larged pay allowances. Interest calls for $1,250,
000,000, and shipping for $700,000,000 on con
struction account, besides losses not settled,
and there are the general expenses on the scale
of $1,000,000,000 even before the war. The tariff,
he thinks, could be made to yield $500,000,000
'instead of a mere $170,000,000 on imports of
$3,300,000,0007 On half that total of imports the
Payne law yielded $333,000,000, and present
rates are so low that there must be a great in
crease of imports unless the rates are raised.
Mr. Fordney's position is moderate for a re
publican, for he explicitly says that an exclusive
or "prohibitive" tariff is not desirable. He neg
lects to consider whether an increase in duties
would not exclude a large volume of imports.
Our foreign customers have been as eager
to sell as to buy here, for the depreciation of
their currencies created exchange difficulties lit
tle short of, distressing, considering the exhaus
tion of their gold supply. "We must sell to
buy," is their cry, and the urgency of their buy
ing is measured by the degree of their hunger.
They have done what they could to reduce their
imports of everything but necessities, and to in
crease their exports to us of anything we could
be induced to take. And we were so little sym
pathetic or understanding of their position that
we took their action as unfriendly, and some
spoke of retaliation, as though conditions were
normal. We must buy to sell, unless we wish
to see disorganization of international trade se
rious even in our strong position, and better
worth consideration than mere revenue, of
which there can be no lack, if we wish to raise
it on considerations of revenue rather than of
politics or social reform. Mr. Fordney speaks
of economy to remedy any deficiency, and with
a horror of democratic extravagance leaving
nothing to be desired in a republican. When
were republicans ever less extravagant than
democrats, and just how much of the war cost
and waste would a republican administration
have saved? Whatever the answer, there is no
prospect from either side of congress of reduc
tion in rates of the larger taxes before 1921.
What Is the Cost of a Cloud?
What is the cost of a cloud?
In a city like Philadelphia tens of thousands
of electric lights are turned on when the sun
is blanketed and there are murk or somber
skies because of the dark clouds. Electric light
means more use of coal and coal means money
and the money comes from the public's purse
when the electric light bill comes in.
Some one figured that a rainy day cost New
York an unconscionable amount of money.
Women, he explained, disbursed 85 per cent of
the money earned by men. On rainy or dark
days they remained indoors mostly. Store sales
were curtailed, traffic reduced and nearly every
class and character of business was affected ad
versely. Theaters, movie shows, ball games and
general amusements suffered seriously.
There is a good deal of truth in this.. How
ever, there are some lines that are benefited.
Persons buy more umbrellas, overshoes, rain
coats and such articles. Strange to say, some
department store people declared their rainy
day business was quite satisfactory, many wo
men choosing such days for their buying be
cause the crowds were not so great, and they
did more purchasing because they had better
opportunity to make selections and receive at
tention. In New York, in one of the tallest struc
tures, the electric light people have watchers
stationed night and day to search the skies.
At the first sign of approaching storm or dark
clouds the word is passed to the great power
houses, and the firemen get busy shoveling coal,
so the Edison people will be able to give all
the light New York needs. Philadelphia

Twenty and Thirty-Payment Life.
In order to meet the objection to
an ordinary life policy that of hav
ing to make payments as long as
you live there are issued what are
known as limited payment policies.
These policies are only modified
forms of the ordinary life policy.
They have exactly the same pro
visions and are carried for virtually
the same reason that of protec
tion to dependents. The difference
in these policies lies in the fact that
the insured pays premiums for only
a certain period of 20 years; on a
30-pay life he pays over a period or
30 years. At the end of this period
of time, the insured has a paid-up
policy. Ho makes no more pay
ments and the policy simply stands
as a protection to his family in the
event of his death or disability.
Those two policies are very popular
with men of fair means having de
pendents because they can make
payments on their insurance for a
period of 20 or 30 years and then
they have the matter of insurance
off their minds. They make their
payments during their productive
years when they are best able to
rhake these payments.
The yearly premium on the gov
ernment policy, on each $1,000 of in
surance, is as follows:

Home-Coming Hospital.
Grateful Sister The personnel of
the 81st base hospital, which was
located aat Bazailies, have been
moved to a port of embarkation, and
now are awaiting transport home.
When this will be provided can not
be told. No date is set in advance
for the sailing of these units, they
being assigned as speedily as room
is available on transports. The next
word you get from your brother will
very likely announce his safe arrival
in the United States. No founda
tion for the rumor that every sol
dier and sailor in the service of the
United Staates will be released on
August 1. It is hoped to have the
entire drafted army demobilized by
that time, but this will depend on
developments. The war is not over,
and all inducted men are liable to be
held four months after the
proclamation of peace. If the peace
treaty is signed in June, the end of
service for drafted men under the
law will come in October. Men who
enlisted in the navy for the duration
of the war will be released as rapidly
as possible. Plans are being forked
out in the Navy department for the
release of these men, but have not
been fully completed. Those who are
in the transport service are of
greatest use Just now, bringing back
the soldiers. Drafted men who are
serving with the regular army units
are being replaced as rapidly as pos
sibly by volunteers who are enlisting
under the old law.
Many Questions Answered.
An Interested Wife The last ad
dress given for Camp Hospital No.
45, is A. r. O. 736. located at Aix-les-Rains.
No orders have been is
sued for its immediate return to
America.
Mrs. L. M. C., Lincoln Tou
neglect to state the number of tbn
field signal battalion in which you
are interested; several of these bat
talions are with the army of occu
pation in Germany, some with di
visions that have been released for
return, and others that are to be
held.
A Soldier's Sister Prisoner of war
escort companies, serving at Brest,
are likely to be held some time.
The prisoners there are engaged in
work for the army, and no negotia
tions for their release have yet been
undertaken. After peace has been
declared the repatriation of these
men will begin. This means that the
guard companies are likely to be
held till the A. E. F. is out of
France, which will be about the
middle of July.
A Father At last accounts the
414th telegraph battalion still was in
the service of supply at Orleans.
No orders had been issued for its
early return, but all troops are being
moved out of the Loire valley as fast
as possible.
Mother No orders have yet been
issued for the immediate sailing of
U. S. A. A. S. 540, but utmqst ef
forts are being made to get all the
A. E. F. out of France. The sailing
dates of these units seldom are an
nounced, nor is the port of embarka
tion usually given.
An Anxious Mother The 89th di
vision has arrived in this country,
and so the supply train should be
on this side. It may have been de
layed for a later ship, but you
should have word of your son's
safety very soon.
A Buddy General Pershing has

release of the Sixth division for

has been set for Its sailing yet
F. L. The 315th machine gun

DREAMLAND
ADVENTURE
By DADDY.
(In this story the Mlfhty Bronse Gent
who saved tha Widow Clancey's farm from
Miser Jenklna helps the Little Lame Lad
die get back his legs.)
Borrowed Less.
LITTLE LAME LADDIE sat In his
wheel chair watching the other
children at play.
HI, Lame Laddie, don't you wish
you could Jump as far as I can?"
crlpd one lively lad who was leading
in the sports. That Is Just what
Lame Laddie was wishing, wishing
so hard that It hurt, but he was
bnave and cheerful and so didn't
show a sign of the pain the lively
lad's thoughtless words had given
him.
Oh, It's fun looking at you," he
answered, smiling gayly.
Peggy and Billy, however. sur
prised a sudden drooping of the eyes
when they came up to him a moment
later. Gritty as he was, Lame
Laddie couldn't always keep, his face
from telling how he was feeling
inside. ,
"Let's go for a walk," suggested
Teggy. "We will push your chair."
With that he and Peggy took hold
of the handles and away they went,
racing along the sidewalk.
It was fine fun and Lame Laddie
enjoyed himself immensely, even
though all he could do was to sit still
and let others push him. After a
time they came to the edge of the
town. Far in the distance they
could see the woods.
Let's go to Birdland," cried
Peggy.
"Let's," answered Billy. But
when the tried to push Lame Lad
die's wheel chair along the country
road they found it too hard a Job.
The wheels were made to roll over
smooth city pavement, and they
didn't take a bit kindly to the
rough dirt highway.
Finally they had to rest In the
shade of a tall hedge.
"I'm afraid we can't make It,"
sighed Peggy.
"Oh, I wish we could," spoke up
"Wlint's Is Your Desire?"
Lame Laddie quickly, I've never
been out In the woods among the
birds and flowers and all the living
things."
"If we only had the Mighty
Bronze Genie here; he might help
us," said Billy.
"Who is the Mighty Bronze
Genie?" asked Lame Laddie, his
eyes sparkling in quick Interest.
Peggy nulckly explained that he
was an Arabian pasha who had come
mysteriously to their aid when they
wanted to save Widow Clancy's farm
from Miser Jenkins.
"Do you suppose If we wished
real hard he would come to us
now?" asked the Lame Laddie.
"We can try," responded Peggy,
and at once she repeated the charm
with which she had before sum
moned the Genie.
"W'lsherame, wlsheramy, may
my wish come true In the wink of an
eye."
There was a sudden roar from the
other side of the hedge. Then
came a swish and a thud as the
Mighty Bronze Genie came vaunting
into view.
"Wisherame, wisheramy, your
wish has come true in the wink of
an eye." he thundered. He bowed
low before them in an oriental
salaam. "What's your desire?"
"Lame Laddie wants legs, so he
can go with us to Birdland," an
swered Peggy.
"Oh, ho; nothing easier! I'll lend
him mine, thundered the Genie, sit
ting down and tugging at his legs as
if he were going to pull them off
like boots.
"Hut your legs will not fit me," re
plied Lame Laddie in quick dismay.
"I'm only a small boy."
"Ha, that's true. I don't believe
they would," agreed the Genie.
"Well, we can fix that. I'll lend you
my whole body to carry you to Bird
land." Saying thlH the Genie lifted Lame
Laddie out of the chair, and care
fully saddled him across his own
brawny shoulders. Then off he
started swiftly..
"Who knows what we will find In
the woods?" sang the Genie. "Per
haps fun or adventure, or even a set
of new legs that will fit you!"
What the Genie sang seemed only
an idle song, but it was to come
true in a strange and unexpected
way.
