MIS Laaran worth S318 N Strait J4S7 South lth 81 North 40th You should know that Omaha is the nearest large city to the geographical center of the United States. The council might take up Sunday ice again. Well, if the girls want to go without them, who it to lay nay? Thii "slightly warmer" thing is gradually urging towards a hot wave. Lines between the senate and the executive art drawing tauter, but the senate has the votes. The ex-kaiser may not be tried in London, but that does not mean he will not be tried in England. The president still intends taking his tour of the country. He will be a welcome guest in Omaha. The peace treaty is blocking prohibition in the senate. Funny how these little things keep getting in the way. ' Beta Kun would like safe transport to Ar gentina, but that country may object it already has enough anarchists. - Jlr. Burleson's justly celebrated air mail is Interrupted by a strike of the flyers. That man does have his troubles. ; Around a million dollars a day is being paid out in Omaha now for new wheat, if you want to know what is" making "times" good here. Secretary Lansing is discreetly noncommit tal, as becomes a well trained diplomat, but his memoirs will make good reading in years to come. The Wall Street Journal says the president's homecoming was in time to save the nation, which was rapidly drifting to the state of a re public again. Georgia swings into line with Louisiana in repudiating woman's suffrage. The fewer voters the easier it is for the democratic bosses to control elections. ' The only real quiet town is the dead one, i but a lot of the noise now made in Omaha could : be suppressed without detriment to the city's activity in any line. The mayor says it is "salt pork and is used at fnnrl hv rertain class of workers." What 1 Aa voti mean, "certain class?" And whv not give that class a chance to get a bite of meat at a price within their reach? . Secretary Baker long ago gave the reason for not putting the surplus stock of army food on sate. He did not want to break the market. In other words, he would rather see the food rot in the warehouses than have the price come down to the consumer. British coal miners have settled their strike, but none too soon. If other workers will cut out their foolishness and get down to business, they will soon be collecting wages that are not being earned now. Good times only exist when men are at work producing the wealth out of which wages are paid. "Six golden years of democracy" will close with the nation thirty billions in debt. It is Hot all due to the war, either, for right in the middle of these golden years the country was running behind on its ordinary expenses at the rate of a million dollars a day. In the first two golden years a surplus of $150,000,000 left In .the treasury by the republicans was con Verted into a $150,(Lj,000 deficit by the demo crats. Indeed, the democratic party can rest on its record, but not easily. Caveat Emptor in Mexico ' A reader takes solace out of the reflection that Mexican oil lands threatened with confis cation are properly so because title to them goes back to royal grants of territory and there fore lacks the authority of the sovereign peo ple. He does not see why the people of the United States should concern themselves in guaranteeing title to property which originally was estowed by some decadent monarch upon a wasteful nobelman to the injury of the com mon people. He does not reflect well upon the rights of the common American citizen who honorably invests his savings and his diligence in these oil lands. Let it be assumed that lands, now be come ' valuable through oil discoveries, were originally granted to court favorites. The rem edy for that evil does not lie in applying an other evil 200 years later. Public welfare al ways is predominant, but not to the injury of the individual; which is to say that if the prop erty of an individual is required by the state there is a just and equitable means of serving both state and individual in that the state can condemn the individual's property but must make proper compensation. If the purchaser, American, of course, must beware in Mexico, there is little comfort to him for his investments and his labor. : It doesn't matter much what excuse is em ployed if the net result is confiscation. Con fiscation implies the nonright of the individual. The French might as well disavow the Louisi ana purchase as contrary to public policy and dispossess us of the whole middle west. Chi cago Tribune. HOLDING BACK INFORMATION. The president persists in the secretiveness that hat marked his course for the last few years, and declines to send to the senate the treaty separately negotiated with France. His purpose may only be surmised. It was the un derstanding that the two treaties he brought home from Paris were to be considered to gether, and as such they were treated in Lon don and are now before the French assembly. Just why Mr. Wilson prefers to divide them here must wait for such time as he is willing to divulge his reasons. This is not the only feature of the transac tion on which the White House is withholding information from the senate. The treaty has been published, and its text is known, just as was the text of the main treaty in advance of its delivery to the senate. Requests for details with regard to the private compacts between England, France and Japan have not been com plied with. Senators are given confidentially such insight into the secrets of the Paris coun cil as the president thinks may sway them in their judgment, but the open light of publicity is not yet thrown on the transactions, the re sult of which is so vitally important to America. Democratic senators who support the presi dent in his mysterious movements lay great stress on the point that the action of this coun try will affect the world. Admitting this, it remains true that the action to be taken will affect America first. The people are entitled to know all that is contained in the agreements they are asked to give assent to. It is just as certain that they are not being told all, any more than th?y were told all in 1916, when the administration knew that war was only a little ways ahead, and yet kept up the cry that we were being kept out of war. Why is it not wise to trust the people, and to make known all the essential facts con nected with the treaty now under consideration? Japan Rattles the Saber. Our Japanese friends are most engaging when they are most frank. A charming sim plicity has marked their course on all points in connection with the peace negotiations, so that any who complains' of being deceived must ad mit having practiced the deception, for the Japanese have been direct in all their moves. They boldly demanded Kiau-Chau and its hinterland as the price of their services in the war. If denied this, they proposed to press the racial question, which means their admission to the United States on an equality with white immigrants. Given their territorial plunder, they allowed to be waived the recognition of their pretensions on racial lines. Now that American opposition has arisen against the Shantung grab, Japan hints that in event of failure to receive satisfaction on this, the race question will be renewed. In America this issue is important. Once it was fairly well adjusted by the Hay-Takahira "gentlemen's agreement," put this has been done away with by the muddling methods of the Bryan admin istration of the State department, and the point is one open for discussion. It does not seem reasonable that Mr. Wilson's decision of the Shantung case in favor of Japan could have been m any way influenced by the immigration question or the California situation. In this connection it may be recalled that Mr. Bryan, when secretary of state, visited Sacramento, personally to appeal to the' legislature to pass no land or educational laws that might em barrass the administration in its diplomatic dealings with the Tokyo government. We are not seeking, war with Japan, but we are asked to subscribe to an injustice that Japan may be appeased to a point where it will not threaten America. To accelerate the action of congress, the Japanese charge d'affaires at Washington suggests the race question may be opened by the senate's action. It might en lighten him to carefully look over the history of the last two or three years. Shaking a saber is a poor way to approach Americans. Women and the Democratic Party. It is a curious coincidence that almost at the moment the missioners of distracted democracy were telling the women of Omaha how much that party has done for them, the legislature of Georgia was refusing by an overwhelming vote to ratify the suffrage amendment. Mrs. Antoinette Funk, able attorney, spent a considerable part of her time eulogizing Sen ator Gilbert Monell Hitchcock, evidently in ignorance of the fact that the women- of Ne braska know that on three occasions his vote alone defeated the Susan B. Anthony amend ment. This in spite of the fact the president had made a personal appeal to the democratic senators to support the measure. Mrs. Bass praised the president for the child labor law, but did not make it plain that that measure was passed by republican votes over democratic opposition. Nor did she allude to the more significant fact that it was killed in one of the strongholds of the party, where it turns for its support, and from whence it de rives its votes in congress. These champions of a failing cause must hold the intelligence of the women rather cheap, if they think they are to be deceived by such buncombe. Densmore on the Mooney Case. The Densmore report on the Mooney case, brought into the house of representatives at the instance of Blanton of Texas, may or may not have the effect of securing a retrial of this case. It is not news to a large part of the pub lic, for much of it already has been widely pub lished. Mr. Blanton's point is to determine to what extent the federal government may inter fere with the process of state courts. In this instance, the justification will rest on the pub lic interest and the uncertainty that surrounded all the steps in the Mooney trial. For the pres ent the guilt or innocence of the defendant is not so much a matter of public concern. What the people want to know is, Did he have a fair trial? A very large element of the public thinks he did not. This impression was heightened by the commutation of his sentence from death to life imprisonment. An investi gation is in order, to settle once and for good the question as to whether the proceedings in court at San Francisco were proper. Chairman Cummings gives Mr. Wilson credit for the income tax and the federal re serve bank law, but he might as well have in cluded the Fourth of July. The income tax amendment was submitted by a republican sen ate, and the Glass bill was merely the Aldrich bill with scarcely the change of a letter. Ed Howe's Wisdom Ed Howe's Monthly. "I do not doubt," nearly every opponent of President Wilson says, "that he has high ideals." Nor do I; but it is his High Ideals I object to. A High Ideal man is one thing; a sensible, prudent, useful, experienced man is another. It is foolish to say that Woodrow Wilson was our greatest man until accidentally made president by the treachery of W. J. Bryan to his friend, Champ Clark. Mr. Wilson's High Ideals have just about ruined us. Colonel House does not seem to have decided whether he will run for re-election. If he de cides there is a chance for him, he will run, of course. President Wilson seems to me to be a man who takes a greater interest in the literary rather than the material side of a question. At the Peace Conference, he considered what would make a good speech, a good State Paper, and neglected our actual interests. Mr. Wilson does not know what is going on as do several others who make fewer speeches; but he knows the literary side of the war better than any other leader engaged. ZffiejQeei Zgtt&r& '0m Members of the Republican Congress know President Wilson is a gross and dangerous sentimentalist; but his utterances are so beauti ful that they are ashamed to oppose them. So we are all going to hell shouting, believing we are going to heaven. What should be the attitude of a citizen to ward his government? I am a citizen, and taxes are very high. I note that the government lately spent $700,000 in an experimental ocean flight which amounted to nothing whatever in practical results. I note that the government is establishing lines carrying mail with aero planes, when weather permits, and expending tremendous sums foolishly. I do not believe in these things. Have I right to complain, be ing a taxpayer and voter? I never pick up a newspaper that I do not note similar unwar ranted extravagance, although the country is almost bankrupt. The king and queen of Bel gium are coming shortly, to be the guests of the president and his wife. There will be an enormous bill for their entertainment. It seems to me that in the present emergency we should cut expenses to the bone, and try to get our affairs on a sane basis again. But instead of that we are spending as foolishly, as unneces sarily, as we did when the war furnished some sort of excuse. Henry Ford's Ignorance Amusement jostles surprise in the press com ment upon what is called Henry Ford's ignor ance, revealed in his examination as a court wit ness. But the test might have been reversed with equally interesting results. Mr. Stevenson questioned Mr. Ford upon his torical events; upon characters, like Benedict Arnold, that every schoolboy knows about and forgets on examination day; upon "mobile arm ies" and other war technicalities that did not in terest the plaintiff in his pacifist days, Mr. Ford hardly shone in answering but are there not many business men, and even fat-feed profes sionals, who would have blundered as badly? Suppose Mr. Ford, turned questioner, were to ask Mr. Stevenson about ohms and amperes, ignition sparks and injectors, vacuums and lub ricants, tensile and shearing strains, the design differences of combustion engines for road work, farm tractors and lumber-hauling. If the lawyer runs his own automobile he might man age for a while, but he would soon begin to flounder in the depths of an innocent ignorance. The fact is, of course, that Mr. Ford has a vast fund of useful knowledge, first-hand, ac curate and on tap. All mentare ignorant some where; even the learned Dr. Johnson misdefined a horse's "pastern" in his dictionary, and gave "ignorance, madam; pure ignorance," as the sufficient excuse. Most of Mr. Ford's critics could easily be tangled up themselves in an ex amination directed by skilled counsel along lines remote from their daily experience. New York World. Prices Remain High Nearly eight months have elapsed since the armistice was signed. During that period war activities have been brought near to an end, the army has been three-fourths demobilized and the peace treaty has been signed. And yet the cost of living has not been appreciably reduced and many prices range above war levels. Here is a situation which demands the im mediate attention of the government. It is worthy the best thought of statesmen and econ omists, for it has a direct and important bearing upon the happiness and well being of the American people. The price of bread and meat is a much more vital issue to at least 100,000,000 people in this country than are the boundary lines of Poland or social conditions in Czecho slovakia. Conditions are becoming intolerable to a Urge portion of the American population. Ar isans who are earning higher wages than ever before find that their increased earnings mean little, since the cost of living has advanced in even greater proportions. The man or woman of moderate salary whose income has not appre ciably increased is faced by an even greater problem. The necessities of life cost more than ever before, and show no tendency downward. The situation demands careful and instant con sideration. Washington Post. Life on Tristan da Cunha. One of the loneliest inhabited spots on the globe is Tristan da Cunha, a small and rugged island between Cape Colony and South Amer ica. It was occupied by some British artillery in 1817 for the purpose of keeping an addi tional watch on the island of St. Helena when Napoleon was a prisoner. On his death in 1821, all the soldiers were withdrawn except three men, who, with some whale hunters, founded the tiny settlement, now numbering 75 people In this lonely settlement there is neither strong drink nor crime, and the inhabitants are healthy and strong-lived. The only regular communi cation with the outside world is a visit from a warship once a year. ITOHAV The Day We Celebrate.

To the Editor or The Bee: In your paper l no ticed a brief editorial, which reads as follows: "A parson who will wed a 16-year-old girl to a grown man at 1 in the mernlng may have added another notch to his record, but hehas done the girl and society alike a bad turn." I have no doubt that your edi torial referred to the marriage of Henry L. Thompson and Lillian E. Schultz, whom I married at my resi dence on Wednesday morning last. Please allow me to call your atten tion to two things in connection with this marriage: For a number of years past I have known Mr. Thompson's family very well. Mrs. Nattie Thompson, the aunt of the groom, was my matron at the House of Hope for months, and through her I knew some other members of the family, especially Henry Thompson and his sister, who came in the early evening to engage my services for this marriage. They informed me that the bride was coming from another city by train, and that was the reason for solemn izing the marriage at such an un common hour. Having known these people as I did, I took their word as absolute truth, but it was a down right fabrication. I call your attention to another important point: The court of Douglas county had passed on the age of these parties, and that court had declared to me in writing that the bridegroom was 23 years and that the bride was 18 years old. And I certainly supposed that I could depend upon the findings of the. court. If I cannot do so who can I depend upon, and please allow me to say as long as young people can go to our court and deliber ately commit an act of perjury and then the court afterwards pay no attention to this crime, but let them go scott free, just that long we shall have these conditions. Mr. Henry Thompson should be held strictly accountable for his acts before that court. Under these circumstances I am not to blame. KEV. CHARLES W. SAVIDUK, Pastor People's Church. Against the Lentrue. Omaha, Neb., July 23.- To the rviitr,,. of Tha ltpp: I enclose my vote aeainst the league of nations, and for the first time l as you to va in VOlir valuable paper to express my view in this matter. T or.i nnnnaoil tn the SO-Called league of nations because it looks too much as an alliance Deiween ,...A.a anA tho result can be another alliance more powerful to oppose this one. I am also opposed to the league because the Balkan ..o famiiinr tn me have alAkca ....... . , j been always a source of trouble and the league, instead or settling ineir condition, has made them worse than ever. Consequently the result will be more wars. Under such cir cumstances the league is not worth the paper. I h-ve the greatest consideration for our senators opposing the league and only can feel sorry fcr those who accept it. The binding treaty between United States and France I also don't approve. I can see no reason why we shall cross the ocean to go to war on account to save the bacon for any country in Europe. STEPHEN KLEFSKY. Solution for Social Evils. Fremont. Neb., July 21. To the Editor of The Bee: Owing to con gestion of population in Omaha and unfair working conditions for the laborer every able person should contribute to The Bee milk and ice fund. Contributions will help cure industrial conditions, but plans should be laid to prevent these wrongs in our country. The thing for the people of Omaha to do in order to help keep your populace on an even keel is to plat acreage in the suburbs and offer every induce ment to start a movement back to the land. A single acre will feed and comfortably clothe a fair-sized family and it will not require a deathly drain upon a person's vitality to care for it either. A good pure-bred goat will supply sufficient milk, much richer than cow tnilk, and the cost of keeping a goat is almost nothing. This country does not need state owned mills, elevators, packing houses and creameries. It needs more of the spirit of co-operation and the simple life which begets health and the wealth of clear thought. What we need in Nebraska to keep us from following in the wake of North Dakota is a graduated property tax that will confiscate im mense wealth and cause its possess ors to put their holdings in other people's names. Factory owners will then take their employes into partnership and the spirit of co operative work would grow. We have one man in our town who owns nearly 2,000 acres and I am Informed upon reliable authority that he exacts as much as one-half the crop plus $1 per acre rent for the land. The owner is a good citizen with many good qualities, but his acts create a species of slavery that robs his tenants of their free dom of action and thought. If we had a graduated property tax this man would take more interest in his fellow men and look for men who were capable of becoming part owners of his land. "Lord" Scully owns thousands of acres in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska and it is only a question of time when it must be taken away from him, unless owing to present big wages among laborers and their accompanying freedom of thought he may be unable to find slaves to help perpetuate a lordly title of which Americans do not approve.

(In thli itory Peggy and Billy maet their old frlende of Blrdland and seek the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.) Seeking the Rainbow's End. t"DAINBOW new, Rainbow old, "Where, oh! where's your pot of gold?" Peggy gazed excitedly out toward the east, where a beautiful arch of many colors panned the evening sky. As she gazed she made up the words of her little song, trilling them in gladness that the summer thun derstorm was past. "Pot of gold? What do you mean by pot of gold?" General Swallow swooped down from the misty air to shrill this question at her. "Why, haven't you heard the story? They say a pot of gold is buried at the end of the rainbow, waiting for whoever comes to find it." "Would you like to have that pot of gold?" asked General Swallow, alighting on a nearby bush. "Of course I would," replied Peg gy, promptly. "And would you give half of It to Billy Belgium if he helped you find it?" "Well, here comes Billy now give him his half," shrilled General Swallow, waving his wing in greet ing to Billy, who was chasing a toy airplane across the lawn. "But I haven't any pot of gold," "Hoo! Hoo!" called Juda;e Owl from the darkness of the Woods. spoke up Peggy quickly. "It's burled at tho end of the rainbow." "There's the rainbow in the eky, and there's the end of it right In the woods ot Blrdland. All you hava to do is to go and find the gold." This sounded very easy as General Swallow said it, but somehow Peggy had her doubts of its being as easy as it sounded. "That's a good idea," spoke up Billy. "Come on, Peggy! Let's go." "But by the time we got to Bird land the rainbow would be gone," argued Peggy. "Rainbows never stay long." "I wish we had wings like General Swallow!" exclaimed Billy. "Your wish shall be granted," promised General Swallow, and with that he mounted rapidly into the sky,, calling out loudly: "Bolllckety leaves! Gollickety leaves for Prin cess Peggy and Billy Belgium!" From hedbes, shrubbery, shade trees, orchards, and woods rose dozens of birds, and they cried out as loudly as General Swallow: "Go lickety leaves! Golickety leaves for Princess Peggy and Billy Belgium!" Then swift as arrows Carrie and Homer Pigeon came rushing up, bearing tiny sprays of leaves. Peggy and Billy quickly recognized the leaves as being from the magic Go lickety shrub, and they eagerly tasted them. "Golickety swift, golickety small, "When summer is past, why then comes the fall." So sang the birds, and instantly PeRgv and Billy were as tiny as Gen eral Swallow, while Billy's airplane became large and filled with power. Peggy and Billy hopped into it and away they went in high glee, the birds followed behind. So fast they traveled, 'they thought they must come close to the end of the rainbow, in a hurry, but though they flew and flew and flew it still seemed as far away as ever. "Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!" called Judge Owl from the darkness of the woods. "Where are you going so swiftly?" "Aha! Judge Owl is a wise old bird, maybe he can tell us how to get to the rainbow's end," said Billy, steering the air plane so that it circled around and came down beside the hollow tree where Judge Owl had his nest. "Why do you seek the rainbow's end?" hooted Judge Owl. "To get the pot of gold that's buried there!" "Hoot! Hoot! Go back home this intant!" warned Judge Owl. "There's danger in that pot of gold." "We re not afraid," shouted Billy, sending the airplane sailing up- DAILY DOT PUZZLE MUCH IN LITTLE. Bristles are set in the ends of a new coat hanger so it can be used as a brush.

THE SINGING TREE. There Is a stately tree that stands Amidst the sloping pasture lands Where dew-lapped cattle stray and browse; When day unfolds or night expands There runs a muslo through its boughs. When up the northern skies are rolled The pale auroras, fold on fold. Like banners limned with strange de vice, It chants the sagas of the cold. The crystal lyrics jt the Ice. When swallows come on soaring wing, And tanagers and bluebirds bring Omens of violet and rose, It flings the flute note of the spring Down every wandering wind that blows. When softller slip the shrunken streams, And sultrily the bee balm gleams. And tio harsh voice the twilight mars, i It breathes the summers poppled dreams Unto the leaning, listening stars. And when along each woodland lane There Is the driven drift of rain, And fall of frosted leaves and sere, It sounds the autumn's plaintive strain, The requiem of the fading year. Through all the shifting seasons long, Now sad or sweet, now low or strong, It lifts its ceaseless melody; It seems the very soul of Song, And so I love the Hinging Tree!
