, j "GETTING BEHIND RINGER." ,
' In audacity born of desperation,' a" aummons
is issued in the name of the so-called "Commit
tee of 500" to "get behind Ringer" to hold him
in ,charge of the police department in, which he
has made such a miserable failure. -
- Though Commissioner. Ringef took the reins
of the police force more than a year ago and
has installed men of his own selection in every
position of responsibility, including chief, chief
of detectives, captains, sergeants,' plain clothes
men and morals squad, without bettering con
ditions perceptibly, but on the contrary becom
ing enmeshed In a net of incompetency andf
graft, the demand is made that he must have
another year to clean up Omaha.' ?
If the present police mismanagement has
failed' to clean up Omaha in one year, what as
suranoe can we have without change that it
will be cleaned up in another year, or another
year after that, or ever?
The most amazing part of , the call to "get
behindRinger" is the announcement that if an
outraged people should start a recall on Ringer
for going wrong, his sponsors" will start a re
call upon another commissioner against whom
there is not even an Intimation of wrong-doing.
That savors very much of the tactics of the
Hun invader in Belgium, who drove old men
and women and children in front of him to pref
tect himself from righteous resistance.
On this theory the misfit or the' miscreant
in office could always hold on by hiding behind
an upright and popular official, insisting : that
if one is let out the other must go, too.
Instead of using the whole resources of the
police force to intimidate people who complain
against police abuses, and to cover up police
crookedness, would it- not be a better show of
good purpose to devote a little time and at
tention to., ridding the department, of incoaV
petents1 and disreputables and giving Omaha
the efficient police service, it was promised? The'
duty to do this devolves not upon the police
commissioner,' but upon the-city commission as
a, whole. . No commissioner "has any right to
ask or, expect the other commissioners to stand
by him when he is clearly in the wrong, f 4

v. Fly the , flag ; todayr-the glorious Stars" and
Stripes ydur ' flag "and my flag the flag of
today, tomorrow and alj time to which the day
is dedicated. '
One year ago today that matchless flag of
freedom had been set up in the war-desolated
districts of France, where its advent was hailed
as the harbinger of victory over Jhe civilization
destroying Hun. The faith of mankind in that
flag was not misplaced as it turned out, Alt
along the line it inspired the boys in khaki to
deeds of daring that made their onslaughts
irresistible, and whenever the Stars and Stripes
started forward the Hun hordes began to re
treat. Today our wonderful flag is planted over
what was German soil, where American' troops
form part of the army of occupation, the em
blem of the democracy for which the war was
fought and wdt. , ':
If the American flag means so much On far
away lands,' what must it mean here at home,
where it typifies all the blessings of free in
stitutions so dearly achieved by the founders
of the republic and so strenuously maintained
against all enemies by those who came later?
Should it not, spur us on, to defend it against ,
every attack that would make it mean less or
something different hereafter? -
. The Common Sense of It. ; ; ,
Governor McKelvie is said to be canvass
ing the members of the legislature with the
view of calling a special session for the rati
fication of the woman suffrage amendment.
,Wheri such session and its additional expenses
will be instrumental in bringing about the
actual ratification throughout the country, .
that additional expense may be justified. But
the public cannot expect a recession) from the ,
present unhealthy economic conditions until it
begins to retrench and reduce costs including
unnecessary costs in , government Grand ,
Island Independent. .
This is the common sense of it. If anything
were to be gained by calling the legislature
into special session to ratify the suffrage amend
ment it would devolve upon us to consider
whether the gain warranted the cost. So far as
'can be yet seen no assurance is to be had that
Nebraska's vote for ratification would send suf
frage over the line. Governor McKelvie is right
therefore in first seeking to1 find out what other
states are doing. To spend ten or twenty thou
sand dollars just for the fun of being among the
early ones and then find other states holding
back needed' votes until after their own legis
lature would naturally corrvene in regular ses
sion would be more creditable to our intentions
than to our judgment. ' '
:- Modesty of a Hero.
The modesty of Sergeant Alvin York of Ten
nessee is as refreshing as his superhuman feats
against the enemy are admirable.
Society sought to lionize him; vaudeville tried
to lure him with gold; the multitude worshipped
him. Governor Roberts of his home state made
him a colonel on his staff. Medals and jewels
of great price were offered him.,' Cabinet mem
bers and senators sought the honor of shaking
his hand. -' '
It wis enough to turn the head of almost any
man. But it did not turn the head of Sergeant
Alvin York who slew 20 Germans, captured 132
and put the quietus on 40 machine gun nests. . .
Alvin York hurried back to his little home in
the mountains where his mother and his sweet
heart awaited Jiim. And there in the little
church where he holds the honored position of
second elder he. offered devout thanks to the
God Tin whom he trusted that he had been
brought home again after doing the full measure
of his duty to his country.
V .An invitation of the Rotarians to be their
guest at their national conclave in Salt Lake
City was likewise declined. This together with
the vaudeville offers and the tike are all merely
"temptations of the devil," concludes the brave
and pious sergeant. And surely he has chosen
the better part The multitude will soon be,
gaping at other, though less admirable wonders.
But the love of those who are near and dear to
Aivin York will endure for life, and the comfort
of his religion will last till death.
Sergeant York rings true to the highest ideals
of patriotism in declining to .capitalize, his
heroism. ; 'V4 ..." S fV . "-;: !'r

Foundations 6J Prosperity
; By Nicholas Murray Butler. v .'.
The entire world has been for a long-time past
in a state of peculiarly -unstable equilibrium..
This has been due to the operation over the
whole area of civilization of two sets of power
ful forces, one political and one economic, which
have been added to the ordinary and customary
human strivings for improvement and for
change. The world is always in process of de
velopment; but for at least three, hundred years
this development has taken the form of constant
and wide-spread agitation for immediate results.
The political forces that have been and still
are at work are those making for the building of
independent and homogeneous nations, and
those making for increased and better estab
lished civil and political liberty for the indi
vidual. . In the former case these strivings have
led to many international wars. In the latter
case they have led to many domestic revolu
tions, some peaceful and some violent . The
history-of the making of Great Britain, of
France, of Italy, -and of the . German Empire
illustrates how peoples have had to fight their
way to national unity through war. The history
of the English, the American, the French, and
the Russian Revolutions illustrates by what
various methods men have struggled to achieve
adequate and well-established civil and political
liberty, as well as what dangers and excesses
may attend and accompany these struggles.
. ;.
, Nation-Building. . '
As a result of the great war whose issues are
now in process of settlement, the movement to
ward nation-building has received great impetus.
Poland, Czecho-slovakia, Jugoslavia, and Arme
nia, are taking their place as self-conscious and
autonomous nationalities. Greece will certainly
find her people reunited in one governmental
system, including those who have so long lived
under the Turkish yoke. The union of Italy
will be completed and secured. It is probable
that a great federal Russia will shortly rise on
the site of the political and economic ruin which
autocracy and Bolshevism have combined tj
produce. The peace and order of the world
would be retarded, not advanced, if in this
process any attempt were made to divide the
German people among several sovereignties.
The desire for nation-building is as strong
among the Germans as among any other modern
people, and Bismarck's great hold upon the
German people was due to his being in their
Ayes the embodiment of the movement for na
tional unity. To dismember and divide any
modern people and to apportion them among
several sovereignties is simply to invite . new
wars. The waters of national psychology can
not be made to flow up hilK . - -
Whennation-building goes beyond its just
limits and passes over into an ambition for
world-domination, i it invites, indeed it compels,
war. This is precisely what happened in the
case of the German empire. The government
of the Hohenzollerns was not content with a
powerful and united Germany, but conceived the
ambition to dominate the world. Wh'at followed
we all know. This German ambition was an at
tempt to turn back the wheels of political prog
ress and to emulate the Alexanders, the Caesars,
the Charlemagnes, the .Charles Fifths, and the
Napoleons of an old and out-worn order. The
legitimate end of nation-building is not world
domination in any form, but membership in an
ordered society of nations. ;
The' Winning of Liberty.
The forces that have been making for the defi
nition and establishment of civil and political
liberty received most complete and most con
vincing recognition through the English, Ameri
can, and French revolutions, and particularly
through the framing and adoption of the con
stitution of the United States! While those revo
lutions left many things yet to be done, some
of them highly important, nevertheless they did
clearly establish the principles upon which civil
and political liberty, as well as ordered govern
ment for their protection, must rest " Some
times, as in the case of the German empire, the
movement for civil and political liberty has been
held in check until the movement for nation
building had run its full course. In this way is
to be explained the failure of the Revolution
of 1848 in Germany, despite the strong and wide"
spread support which that revolutionary move
ment possessed. The quick success of the po
litical revolution in Germany, following the de
feat of German arms and German policy in this
war, is the natural result of the free working of
forces long pent up by the desire, first of all,
to make Germany strong, prosperous and world
dominating. ,
If we are to look for the foundations of, pros
perity we shall find them first in the satisfac
tion of these perfectly natural and very power-?
ful human ambitions and political forces which
make for nation-building and for the definition
and establishment of civil and political liberty.
Until these forces have expressed themselves in
achievement, and until the ambitions which they
represent are reasonably well satisfied, there
can be neither pace nor order between nations or
within nations.
Public Security and Public Order. ,
Until the process of nation-building' is sub
stantially complete, and until the ambition for
world-domination has been given up by every
nation, there can be no assurance of public se
curity; and until that time one of the necessary
foundations of prosperity will be lacking. Im
mense progress has been made toward the estab
lishment of public security by the defeat of the
imperialistic policies and ambitions of Germany,
and by the entry of Poland, Czechoslovakia,
Jugoslavia, and Armenia into the family of inde
pendent nations At the very moment when
the forces that make for public security were
rapidly gaining ground, the forces that make for
public order within a nation were being gravely
weakened. This resulted ' primarily from the
extreme and destructive course taken by the
Russian Revolution. The disorderly, the law
less, and the irresponsible elements in other
lands hailed the advent of Bolshevism in Russia
as a signal to redouble their own energies as
revolutionaries and as trouble-makers. If any
nation is to be prosperous, and if the world is
to be prosperous, these Bolshevist forces must
not only be held in check, but overthrown. They
are active, persistent and conscious enemies of
any public order that is hot based upon tyranny,
andpf any prosperity that is not the exploita
tion of a people by a class. . For lovers of civil
and political liberty to strengthen the hands of
the consrtuctive forces that are working for the
rebuilding of Russia, is not an act of interna-
L tional interference, but an act of national self-
r j r' T.L ! "'f , - .

only that it may have a starting-point from
which to conquer France, Great Britain, and
the United States. Public order, a necessary
foundation of prosperity, will not be secure until
civil and political liberty are finally and defi
nitely protected against the assaults of Bolshe
vism." - , - .

Facts for Swine Growers
Chicago, June 12. To the Editor
of The Bee: Between the dates
January 1, 1916, and January 1.
1919, there have been some rather
significant changes in pork produc
tion and marketing in various sec
tions as well as in the whole of the
United States. During this period
we have had an Increase of almost
15 per cent in the total number of
swine on farms. In spite of that
general increase In numbers, accord
ing to government estimates, 12
states, Nebraska among them, have
had decreases in the swine popula
tion for one reason or another.
In point of numbers, Iowa has had
a greater increase than any other
state, having added nearly 2,000,000
head to its already tremendlous
lead, Illinois, standing second ' in
numbers, stands second in point of
total Increase during the last three
years with an added 1,500,000, and
Minnesota ranks third in increase
with .slightly over 1,000,000 head
Whs .Tnrmnrv 1. 1916. Six
other states each show an increase of
over 500,000 head during a corre
sponding period.
The combined receipts at the 11
leading markets, during 1918 were
larger than during any preceding
year,- hence it seems that no tardi
ness in marketing has affected the
numbers of hogs on farms the first
of the present year. However, mar
keting was nearly 20 per cent less
in 1917 than in 1918, due partially
to the soft corn condition prevailing
In the fall of 1917, and the govern
ment's call for' heavier hogs which

the Sherman A McCoanell, Beaton and the
her donning of the wedding finery,
the arrival of Red Beard's horse
men with Cinderella and other cap
tive heroines, the choice of herself
as the first bride of Bed Beard, the
turning of the Bronse Genie Into a
statue, the coming of Billy Belgium
and the princes to the rescue and
the overthrow of Red Beard through
the use of his own charm.
Peggy had a queer feeling as she
watched herself on the screen. It
surprised her to see how she looked
when she walked, when ahe smiled,
when she was scared and when she
was defiant. It was, as if she were
looking at a stranger dressed up in
her body and clothes. .
The picture ran on to the point
where the Genie had stumbled and
Peggy had flown off into space.
Down the hill raced the Genie, pull
ing the two-wheeled cart His toe
caught on a atone and slippety slaml
he pitched head over heels, the cart
sailing up into the air like a rocket
This was the last Peggy saw of her
self, for she and the cart disap
peared, leaving the Genie, Billy and
Balky Sam alone on the screen.
The Genie landed with a Jarring
thump. And the worst was yet to
come, for Balky Sam, trying to stop,
stumbled and sent Billy flying over
his head kerplunk on, the Genie's
stomach.
"Woof!" went the Genle, but still
worse followed, for Balky Sam
turned a somersault that piled him
on top of both Billy and the Genie.
It, was an exciting mix-up, but so
funny that Peggy laughed until she
cried.
Then the picture suddenly switch
ed to show what was happening at
Red Beard's castle. The Turk was
furiously angry over the escape of
his pretended brides. He stormed
and raged around the lawn, swing
ing his scimitar viciously, while the
slaves and. attendants shrank away
in great fright
Red Beard wasn't content to rage
around he wanted to do something
worse. So he gave an order and
slaves rain in with a pair of odd
looking boots and strapped them on
his feet. These boots had very high
heels and soles so thick that Red
Beard looked as if he were walking
on stilts.
But the first step he took in them
opened Peggy's-Eyes. He bounded
high into the air and went as far as
though he had. Jumped with all his
might 7
"Seven-league - boots!" exclaimed
Peggy ' to herself. After ward she
learned that they were not even
seven-league boots, but were 70-foot
boots, for which every step he took
he could go that far. ,
Now Red Beard set off at a
rapid pace up the hill, swinging his
scimitar as he went
The film shifted back to the Genie,
Billy and Balky Sam, showing them
untangling themselves from the
heap. Balky . Sam sat down ana
laughed at the other two, while he
winked so comically at Peggy out
in the audience that she giggled
aloud in surprise. The giggle gave
way to a cry of alarm, however, as
she saw Red Beard come bounding
over the top of the hill.
"Run, Genie! Run, Billy!" she
