The Irish want home rule for Ireland and
the Italians demand Rome rule for Fiume.
The Big Four in Paris is commanding less
attention nowadays as the Big Two in Toledo.
Wonder whether the' former kaiser consid
ers a force limited to 200,000 a "contemptible
little army."
If the correspondents in Paris guess often
enough as to when the president will sail foi
home they may strike it right.
There is still work for the men in khaki
to do. Those who join Uncle Sam's army may
till find opportunity for glory.
All right, if the president wants to make a
swing around the circle, we will be glad to have
him put Omaha on his itinerary.
That story of a congressman who spends his
Sundays conducting revival services in Wash
ington is almost too much to believe.
The howling of the Brest-Litovsk treaty
makers regarding the injustice of the allies'
"peace of might" is both amusing and refreshing.
; The " former crown prince says in an in
terview that he "is fond of culture." He used
to be fond of "kultur," but perhaps he has been
cured of that.
A TROUBLE-MAKING FICTION.
Like chickens that come home to roost that
little fiction with which we tried to solace our
selves, that in going into the world war we had
no grievance against the Germaa people but
were only fighting an autocratic monarch and
his war-lords, is bobbing up to make trouble.
In their reply the German peace delegates make
answer, and it is the only plausible answer they
can make, that the allies are now dealing with
the German people themselves organized under
a new government and that to load them down
with excessive war burdens would be to punish
them for the misdeeds of their former rulers,
whom they have thrown off. The sophistry of
this argument is that it is based upon a bald
fiction, although it was a fiction for which we,
more than anyone else, are responsible. In the
war aims and activities of the kaiser, there was
no way of separating him from his people, for his
subjects were all backing him to the limit. Re
gardless of possible previous disagreement, as
soon as the invasion of Belgium was begun,
the whole German people arrayed themselves
enmasse to achieve Germany's "place in the
sun" and to "put over" German domination of
the world. If the kaiser and his war lords were
the leaders in this crime against humanity, they
had every element of their people as willing
and eager followers.
It was fine to proclaim our belief that we
were warring against militarism but not against
a people who had built up and were sustaining
militarism, but nobody really believed it, and
the German spokesmen who are now using this
fiction themselves, challenged its truth at the
time. In a word, the German people cannot
get away from paying the bill for the damage
done by them by merely adopting a new form
of government; otherwise they could repeat the
performance over and over and never be held
to account.
"Bob" says "Tom" isn't fit to be a jaitor
and "Tom" says "Bob" used to be a janitor
The janitors ought to protest against this villi-,
fying of their calling.
Two transports loaded with soldiers were
held up .by the sinking of a ship loaded with
dates. Soldiers usually keep the "dates," but
in this case it seems the dates kept the soldiers.
' The British Jockey club has barred all Ger
man and Austrian horses. And yet the Ger
mans and Austrians are giving a fine example
of "jockeying" at the peace conference right
now.
The announcement is made that there are
1,300 memorial tablets at the Washington navy
yard, made from metal recovered from the bat
tleship Maine, sunk in Havana harbor. Only
2lyears since the Maine sank. Why the
speed?
The latest news leaking out from the sealed
chamber where they are engaged on "open
covenants openly arrived aj" is that the Ger
mans are to be allowed an army of 200,000 for
three years. They may figure that to mean
500,000.
Dangerous Aliens and Others.
A decision handed down by the federal dis
trict judge in New York last week for the de
portion of six dangerous aliens, is receiving
general commendation. In this case the usual
plea was presented that the men had a right
to stay in this country and plot the overthrow
of our government so long as they were not
caught in any overt act of violence. The court
holds that the power of congress to provide for
the deportation of revolutionary aliens is not
to be' questioned, and that those who belong to
organizations that approve of violence and cir
culate books or periodicals advocating violence,
may be held to instigate lawlessness and come
properly under the public ban.
The decision that dangerous aliens may be
sent back where they came from is hailed as
particularly timely, in view of the recent bomb
outrages, to enable us to protect the country
from this menace. While we will all agree that
alien anarchists have no place here, we must not
shut our eyes to the fact that there are others
equally dangerous, that the bomb plotters may
be native-born American citizens, in which event
they will have to be dealt with by some plan
different from deportation because people of no
other country would permit us to send our
anarchists to them any more than we will per
mit them to send theirs to us.
What we need, as before pointed out, is an
efficient secret service with nation-wide organ
ization, closely coupled up with the police
authorities in all the important population -centers
for a systematic effort to locate the breed
ing places of anarchy. And when bomb throw
ers or bomb plotters are found, they should be
given small consideration, regardless of
whether born in this country or in some other
country.
But if our vieilant oolice in each case threw
into jsu the person in control, as owner or
rental agent, of every house raided on disor
derly complaint, some of the noisiest members
of the "Committee of 500" might have to go one j
another's bail.
The verdict of the court is that the Brown
place is not an immoral resort. The popular
verdict is that the sleuths who perpetrated the
brutal outrage of dragging a well known woman
l r i i i j t, :
vui ui ucr tiuuic at liuuuigui tiiu uuiuiug uci in
durance vile without bond had no excuse what
ever and that in "getting behind" the lawless
officers, their superiors assumed equal responsi
bility for their offense.
Mexico and the Mexicans
. Mexico has an area of 765,535 square miles
and a population of 15,000,000.
Mexico is a federal republic, with a constitu
tion modeled closely after that of the United
States.
vThe state of Chihuahua, just south of the
American border, where the revolutionists have
long been operating, is three times as large as
the stale of New York.
The border line between the United States
and Mexico is 1,200 milees in length, with about
600 miles of it a purely imaginary line. That
part of the border line defined by the banks of
the Rio Grande is well marked.
Pulque is the national drink of Mexico among
the lower classes. It is fermented liquor with
a milky appearance, tasting much like stale but
termilk. It contain about 6 per cent of alcohol
and' is said to make the most beastly drunks
in the world.
Like other countries in the tropical zone
Mexico has its rainy season, when showers
: come daily. Sometimes for days on end it
rains almost at the same hour and apparently
at the same minute of the day. Usually the
rain begins to fall about 2 o'clock in the aft
ernoon and may continue until 4 o'clock.
' Mexico City, the capital of the republic,
which the Mexicans pronounce "Mehico," is
considered one of the most beautiful of the
world's capitals. This ancient city dominates
i the land as Paris does France. Today the cap
ital of Mexico is essentially modern, picturesque
in site, bracing in climate, but somewhat unfin
ished architecturally and in other ways.
The Mexican bill of rights, or "the .Tights
" of man," as it is called, forms the first section
of the federal constitution, and covers nearly
the whole range of powers and privileges
which should be enjoyed by a self-respecting
( and self-reliant people. In form and theory
the bill of rights could scarcely be improved
upon, but its execution, of course, is an en
tirely different matter. ,
Leaden-Shoed Relief.
A decision just promulgated by the Inter
state Commerce commission has c5me to our
attention because in a case arising from Ne
braska which in our judgment, if typical, shows
a lamentable delay in giving relief from rail
road overcharges. It is not of consequence
who are the parties to the suit, or that the
amounts involved are small. The finding of the
commission discloses that the complaint was
submitted December 1, 1916, and the order
handed down as of April 4, 1919. The outcome
is a reimbursement of the shipper in the sum
of $96, being the overcharge on the rate, but so
long was the case pending that the railroad
tried to take advantage of the fact that in the
interval the government had taken over the
operation of the line and increased the rate be
yond the overcharge. Of course, the commis
sion declined to let that plea serve as abatement
brit what can be said of a system that makes a
shipper wait two and a half years for adjudica
tion of an overcharge claim? In working out
a solution of our railroad problem. thisleaden
shoed relief should be speeded up.
Robert Cowell.
Robert Cowell surely had a surprise for all
of us in the announcement of his retirement
from business, but there is a counterbalance in
his promise to continue his active participation
in public affairs, for he has been for years a
forceful factor in the life of the city. We would
hate to feel that his retirement from business
meant cessation of his freely expressed and al
ways independent opinion on the uppermost
topics of the day. He is the kind of a business
man who is helpful to the community. From a
newspaper standpoint, Mr. Cowell has made a
mark by his characteristic line of "copy" in his
advertisements so intimately reflecting the man,
and we wonder whether anyone can duplicate
this unique style of writing. If Mr. Cowell did
not dislike personal ostentation, we would say
this would be the right time for a public testi
monial to his large and valued service to the
people of this city.
"Any fool can write a book, but it takes a
genius to write a readable newspaper article,"
Dr. F. H. Newell, president of the American
Association of Engineers, told the Omaha engi
neers. A remarkably perspicacious gentleman,
Dr. Newell is, we are convinced.
As to War Memorials
Gut on Borglum in Harvey'a Weekly.
Letter in response to an appeal for the erec
tion of a duplicate of the Washington monu
ment in Paris as an American war memorial.
The subject you have opened is a great one;
let us, so far as we may, discuss it greatly, let
us deal with, the occasion for a memorial and
forget nothing. Let us strip to the truth of
things as they were and are. and learn the
reality of our services, and let us ask France
to confer with us as to the fitness of such state
ment, since we wish France to receive that
great Pantheon, where rest forever our youth,
together with the youth of the world, who
abandoned their lives that we may live on and
free.
Nor shall I in criticism reflect on the beau
tiful borrowed Egyptian needle which you sug
gest "be again borrowed from our borrowing
and returned to the old world," from which it
came, to France, the mistress of modern art!
I shall not criticize the monument on grounds
of design. It, is infinitely beautiful as it stands,
and chaste enough coming from so wanton an
age; but it is in no way related to the subject
we wish to memorialize; it in no way expresses
that which must be expressed, if our boys shall
"sleep in Flanders fields." And it is not ours.
It is in no way a "distinctive national creation";
neither is it a "work of art." We can not even
call it an historical document; it has not the
original qualities even of the first Brooklyn
bridge, which originated out of the local neces
sities that cried for expression. This Brooklyn
bridge the first one is full of creative and
original beauty; the other bridges between New
York and Brooklyn are not even good imita
tions. A monument is but a marker, with its me
morial data; it is the most sacred legacy we
leave to posterity; it must carry the purest ex
pression of our best moments. Greece had a
law (from which Phidias is said to have suf
fered) that a work of art was the expression
of the people or the state; that it was sacred;
and that it was a penal offense for the artist
himself to claim it or cut his name upon it.
That is a true and wonderful thought, and it
should be revived. A monument is itself a mark
upon the face of the world; it is a shrine, an
altar upon it should be inscribed the story of
the deeds that prompted the people to build
it; for it is an altar in permanent service carry
ing its message into eternity. And the lan
guage and the spirit must be universal and
understood by all. The. ancients knew this sim
ple elemental truth, and cut their history in
stone and brrjnze, in forms or characters that
children and strangers understand equally well.
If we erect a memorial to the service that
this nation, through our sons, rendered civiliza
tion on that hallowed frontier, it must be as
distinct', as unique, a contribution to art as that
service was to mankind. Let us first, then, de
termine what that service was.
Was it sacred and unselfish, was it a strug
gle for fair dealing, for law and morality
against the enemies of these? Was our part
in this war an expression of the national con
science? That is, was the war national? Sec
ond, what sacrifice did we make? What was
the precise character of that sacrifice? Even
its quality will color the character of the me
morial, that, I believe, pleads mightily for im
mortality. I believe, also, that there is here
a wonderful race movement. Third, we must
think of its permanency, its relation to the
other memorials that will mark forever that
great red way. Fourth, we must consider its
design, its craftsmanship. That memorial, with
the other supremely great memorials France's.
hngland s, America s (Belgium s should be at
Liege, where the first great service was ren
dered) should be in granite and in bronze. Of
course, it must be large, because it is a world
monument; it commemorates an eopch in civ
ilization, it deals with the whole of humanity,
and we must avoid the selfish note though we
deal at once with America; the borrowed
obelisk called the Washington monument, with
all its beauty, is inadequate for its purpose.
I have read the letters sent to you praisinp
your suggestion, and I respect every one of
them but, as I analyzed them, I found that they
expressed the desire I have, but were thought
less and uninformed, groping for something and
seizing your suggestion which, after all, is
the only heroic one that has been offered.
The utilitarian fiend will not think of in
vading your field or France, with his bureau
or public building, labeled "Memorial," etc.
Thank heaven, that farce could be perpetrated
only here at home, and as its originators right
fully say themselves, "let the community that
has neither an understanding spirit nor na
tional interest build something useful; anything
else would be a waste of money," and further,
"none of them care."
But the great national tribute to the nation's
legions in the world war is another matter, and
I shall watch it as I have watched few events
in our days, and do all in my power to make
it a true record of the new world's true part
in epoch making.
It is estimated Nebraska will have $173,000,

could have been bought for that not so many
years ago.

tor general of railroads is "Walker."

forgiven if you treat us right from now on.

Let The Bee Advise You
Revenue.
V. B. Is it compulsory to replace
revenue stamps on a note or mort
gage every year it is due or if not
renewed, also when interest is paid.
Answer The mere fact that a
note or mortgage becomes due does
not make it necessary to place any
revenue stamps thereon unless it is
renewed by making a new note or
mortgage, but it can be extended
without additional revenue stamps.
The payment of interest dees not re
quire new revenue stamps except as
above stated when a new instru
ment is given which in all cases
require revenue stamps.
Female Labor.
A. L. C. The merchants of this
place are working their women em
ployee from 9 to 14 hours a day.
What is the regulation working day
for women and to whom can I refer
this matter fod adjustment? I have
written the county attorney but have
been unable to get him to take any
action.
Answer. Section 14 of chapter 85
of the revised statutes of Nebraska
for 1913 provided as follows: No
female shall be employed in any
manufactory, mechanical or mercan
tile establishment, laundry, hotel or
restaurant, office or by any public
service corporation in this state
more than nine hours during any
one day or not more than 43 hours in
one week. The hours of each day may
be so arranged as to permit the em
ployment of such female at any time
from 6 a. m. to 10 p. m., but in no
case shall such employment exceed
9 hours in any one day.
Section 17 of the same chapter
provides as follows: Any employer,
overseer superintendent or other
agent of any such employer who
shall violate any of the provisions
of the next three preceding sections
Ushall be fined for each offense in a
sum not less than $20 nor more than
$50 and it is hereby made a duty of
the deputy labor commissioner to
enforce, the provisions of the next
preceding sections.
If you have taken this matter up
with the county attorney and he
refuses to take any action, you
should write to the deputy labor
commissioner at Lincoln as provid
ed by the last section quoted.

It is to be hoped that report is mistaken
in saying that somebody in America has in
vented a mechanism which magnifies the sound
of the human voice and would make it possible
tor a man speaking to be heard for 20 or more
miles without the intervention of the telephone.
The noise of modern civilization is already
annoying enough and, as one newspaper has
commented on the reported invention, "Let us
suppose that some concern advertising chewing
gum, breakfast foods or Grand Rapids furniture,
utilizes this device and shouts his wares across
a state, what becomes of the sanity of the
commonwealth?" The thing seems possible.
One can readily conceive the billboards made
vocal and the air outraged by Brobdingnagian
voices shouting advertisements planned to
"compel" the purchase of this, that or the other
commodity. If the dangerous thing has been
invented, the public should protect itself by im
mediate action and, as the magnified voice
would doubtless bellow into unwilling ears,

"RED BEARD'S BOOTS."
Shooting the Chute.
PEGGY, the Genie, Billy and
Balky Sam paused at the top
of the cliff for only a moment. Red
Beard and his horsemen were close
behind. To wait there meant cap
ture or worse, for Red Beard was in
such a rage " he would have no
thought of mercy. The only way
to escape was to slide down the
steep, smooth surface of the cliff
and trust that some lucky chance
might slow them up before they
reached the rocks at the bottom.
"Hee-haw! I'll go first!" volun
teered Balky Sam in true soldier
fashion. He sat down on the edge
of the cliff, gave a little heave and
away he went so abruptly that he
lost his balance and shot down the
slope on his back, with his legs paw
ing the air.
Balky Sam looked so funny that
Peggy wanted to laugh, but she
didn't have time. The Genie lifted
her to the edge, and in a second she
herself was scooting down tha in
cline at express train speed. Billy
came close behind her, and right
after them was the Genie.
They were none too soon, for as
the Genie dropped oft Red Beard
and his horsemen dashed out of the
pass. Red Beard was so eager to
capture them that he plunged down
the cliff after them, and in his train
came all his men and all their
horses. And, like Balky Sam, the
men and horses started so abruptly
that they loBt their balance and went
kicking, whirling and spinning down
the slide. f
It was 'a thrilling coast Peggy
and Billy would have enjoyed it im
mensely if it hadn't been for the un
certainty of where they were going
to land and the certainty that Red
Beard was scooting down right after
them.
At first they slid down the wide
face of the cliff, but soon they found
themselves coasting down a narrow
chute, much like a toboggan slide.
This chute shot them around cor
ners and across inclines so steep that
if they had fallen from the groove

they would surely have been dashed
to pieces far below. The turning
and twiMing was wildly exciting,
more so ein than a ride on a scenic
railway or racing coaster.
Suddenly as they shot around a
bend I'eiiuy was startled to see aheaa
of them a gang of men seated on
the ground. In an instant she knew
it was a band of bandits at their
dinner.
Balky Sam. tail foremost and
coasting on his back, couldn't see
the bandits, and it wouldn't have
done him any good if he could, for
he wasn't able to stop himself.
Swish! Swash! Swang! he went
through that dinner party like a
runaway automobile through a fruit
stand. Chickens, cabbages and eggs
flew into the air. Balky Sam grabber
a cabbage in his mouth as he went
by. and Peggy, Billy and the Genie
eac h caught a roasted chicken.
The startled bandits recovered
from their surprise just as Red
Heard and his band came in sight.
The robbers were indignant at hav
ing their dinner party smashed, so
they seized eggs from baskets stand
ing by. and as Red Beard's gang shot
past the bandits pelted them with
eggs until they were covered from
head to foot. Xot satisfied with this
revenge, the bandits grabbed thelr
knives and guns and coasted down
the chute in pursuit of the Turks
Meanwhile, far below, Balky S;im
slid out on a broad level shelf nml
came slowly and smoothly to a slop.
Peggy, Billy and the Genie piled uj
behind him.. Below them was an
other steep cliff that led into nr
orchard in the valley.
"We must go on." cried Billy
"Red Beard's gang will be here in 1
second."
The Genie ran to the cliff am
looked down before sliding off. Thci
he shoved Peggy and Billy away.
"Get back!" he ordered. 'There'
a bee farm in that orchard. Ii
just filled with hives. If we sin
down into them we'd be stung t
death."
"Oh, then we'll he captured," ex
claimed Peggy in dismay.
"No, I'll save you." brave.
Balky Sam. "Hide back there clos
to the cliff and I'll attend to Ket
Beard and his whole crowd!"
With that Balky Sam braced him
self to meet Red Heard, who w n
shooting down the chute flat on Im
back, but still waving his gleaming
scimitar.
