Chicago is certainly enjoying the heated
term, with a race war and a street car strike
added to a hot wave.
The visiting soldiers had a warm time in
Omaha, if they were denied the social enter

The president appears willing to make some
concessions to the senate. American harmony
is quite as necessary as European peace.
The president has given the senate the
French treaty, proof that he can be reached.
Maybe some other concessions will yet be made.
Champ Clark says he does not care a hoot
what they talk about in congress, so they do
not talk politics. Of course, he is never disappointed.
Another year of Ak-Sar-Ben down town is
all right, but the big show will never attain its
true proportions until the new field is used
to its fullest extent.

MQSt of them are paid less than common labor

i Missouri women who are discarding skirts
at summer resorts may think they are leading
the way to freedom, but they will learn that
trousers have disadvantages in hot weather.
Henry Ford will appreciate the seclusion of
the woods in company with Thomas A. Edison

communion with nature.
j" A Chicago miser, close rival of Omaha's
Mickel, has denied himself every human com
fort and convenience for fifty years, during
which time he accumulated $300,000. Now he
is in the insane asylum. The answer is plain.
The senate has requested from the State de
partment full Information concerning Mexican"
relations within recent years. It will get a fine
lot of ultimatums, as well as the record of a
demand for a salute that was never given.
"Vic" Berger says he is for the "Wobblies"
because they are "class conscious." And "Big

treason will be carried out as pronounced.

It is good to note that The Bee's Free Ice
and Milk fund is going up to record figures, but
it also must be remembered that both ice and
milk cost more this summer, and it requires
more money to take care of the same number
of babies. It is the greatest game ever played,
and it is free for all. Come in.
A Simple Play's Long Run
At one of the leading London theaters a play
of peculiar construction has been drawing large
and deeply interested audiences for more than
six months. Its success has unusual signifi
cance for Americans. The title of the play, if
it can be so classed, is "Abraham Lincoln." It
consists of episodes in the life of Mr. Lincoln,
and is, above all, concerned with his high moral
qualities, the benevolent greatness of his char
acter, his unflinching courage and patriotism,
and his elemental goodness toward fellowmen.
His humor is wisely omitted, for it might be
misconstrued as related to comedy, whose pur
pose is quite different. Lincoln's humor amused
but its main effect was to convince. If he was
reminded of a story its chief application was an
argument that fitted in genially on the spur of
the moment.
That this subject should have attracted large
English audiences for so many months is a
striking fact. There must be something astir
in English minds that warms to Lincoln's place
in history and example in statesmanship. Its
leading lesson must be the power of sound
manhood to be of supreme usefulness regard
less of iron fortune and what is called low birth.
England has occasion to be thoughtful on this
subject Lloyd George was an orphan boy,
who was educated by an uncle who made a
' humble living by mending shoes.
The .theme of the play is manly opportunity
nobly interpreted St. Louis Globe-Democrat
DOUBTING THOMAS ON THE TREATY.
Senator Thomas of Colorado, of whose
democracy and equal sanity there can be no
question, finds himself unable to agree that the
pending peace treaty with its accompanying
covenant for, a League of Nations, will 'ac
complish the purpose for which it is framed.
He sees in the "peace of force" promise of a
future war. A league to prevent war accom
panied by such a treaty is self-destructive, or
else it destroys the treaty.
"Their ways are divergent, their objects
antagonistic, their details insistent," he says.
"The league, inspired by unselfish and uplift
ing impulses, typifies peace and reconciliation.
The treaty, based upon passion and self-interest,
embodies suppression, reparation, indemni
ties, partition, punishment."
The inability of Senator Thomas to recon
cile in his own mind the conflict between the
two is shared by many. Most people are agreed
that Germany should be punished for enormous
crimes against humanity. Also, it is a common
desire that safeguards be set up against a repe
tition of these crimes. The more the present
document is debated, the less it seems fitted to
meet the ends it is intended to secure. This
uncertainty is not allayed by the assertions of
the democratic clacquers, who reply to criti
cism only by repetition of phrases that do not
contain fact, substituting continually, rhetoric
for logic.
The "clarification of counsel" suggested by
the president proceeds but slowly, but as it
does make progress, the certainty of definitive
reservations being made comes more and more
into view. And the fact should not be forgot
ten that the treaty is now being discussed by a
body of men whose patriotism, wisdom and
personal ability is unchallenged, save by par
tisan blindness. When the senate has reached
a conclusion and is willing to give its consent
to ratification, we may be sure that American
interests have not been sacrificed.
How Private Wealth Has Helped.
For many years one of the popular pastimes
has been to rail at the possessors of great
wealth. Those who are unfortunate enough to
be encysted in mere money, buried deep enough
to defy penetration from the outside, are al
ternately damned or ridiculed by the more fa
vored many who never felt the burden of an
incrustation of millions. Every now and then,
however, the observer encounters something
that serves to justify private control of con
siderable sums of wealth.
Such an instance is at hand in the form of
Dr. George Vincent's report as president of
the Rockefeller Foundation. Tersely, succinctly,
but vividly, Dr. Vincent has reviewed the work
of 1918, telling of endeavors in many lands and
in widely separated fields, but all tending to
the good of man. War work in France, yellow
fever work in Guatemala, educational work in
China, anti-malaria work in Arkansas, the
hookworm here, the fight against tuberculosis
there, instruction in training camps, assistance
to medical schools and to research work, and
such like undertakings have occupied the ex
pert investigators and administrators of the
funds at the disposal of the foundation.
The beauty of this is that the work may be
carried on continuously, with a definite and as
sured knowledge that the needed means are
provided. No inquiry is likely to be checked
at its critical point because of failure of con
gress or some other private agency to make
the needed appropriation. Fancy what would
be the case if the work of these investigators
were stopped in full flight as was that of voca
tional education bureau, when the president
vetoed the appropriation bill. Private control
of this great work surely has its advantages,
and the devotion of great private wealth to the
purpose under terms and conditions that gives
independence to the workers is really a splen
did service to the public.
Cutting Off Fool Taxes.
Very soon the kiddies will be able to toddle
up to the counter and get an ice cream cone, or
a drink of soda water, without having to pay
a war tax. The republican house has taken the
first step to dispense with this bit of demo
cratic economic foolishness. When Claude
Kitchin was chairman of the ways and means
committee, he announced his intention of mak
ing the north pay for the war. As far as he
could, he carried out this purpose. In his
exuberant search for subjects on which to levy
freak taxes, he encountered ice cream and soda
water. These are luxuries. It did not occur
to him, nor did he trouble his mind after the
fact was pointed out, that the chief consump
tion of these is among the children of the land.
An impost of 10 per cent was slapped on and
driven through, and for the first time in our
history the babies of the land were compelled
to contribute to carrying on a war, in order that
the big cotton planters of Mr. Kitchin's home
land might escape at least a portion of the
responsibility. If the senate will now respond
to the action of the house, it will soon be
known whether the pennies extorted from the
little folks are vital to the existence of the great
American republic.
Work of the Transportation Corps.
The transcontinental trip of a detachment
of the transportation corps of the United States
army ought to have a distinct value. It has no
spectacular feature, for the test given the motor
truck in actual service in France was as severe
perhaps, as any it may ever undergo. Ameri
can highways at their worst do not compare
with the shell-torn tracks over which the
trucks were driven up to the very front lines.
Nor is the crossing of the continent by such
trains any longer an experiment. What will
most likely come of the present trip, in addition
to the knowledge gained of engine performance,
tire endurance, and similar details, will be a
"logging" of the routes, the condition of the
roads, and a better understanding of what is
needed to establish a great highway to connect
the two oceans. The good roads movement is
getting proper attention from the public just
now, and its importance is. better understood as
the difficulties of the existing transportation
problem become apparent. Any contribution
the journey of the transportation corps may
make to the knowledge of highways, routes and
the like will be of service, for it. will help to
make1 certain the future of the nation's roads.
Treasurer Jamieson of the democratic na
tional committee tells the donkey's followers he
must have money. That has been the condition
of the party ever since it was so patly de
scribed as "an organized appetite."
Baldwin's Beginning
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
"The history of the Baldwin Locomotive
works has been a series of personal romances,"
said Alba Johnson.
"Matthias W. Baldwin's career was a victory
of high character, industry and exalted motives
over adverse circumstances.
"The story seems always new. Frederick
Fraley has given me his personal reminiscences
of Mr. Baldwin. He began as a jeweler, with
out a store. The house he occupied in Frank
ford still stands, near Wissinoming station.
"Mr. Frailey told me that Mr. Baldwin every
Friday afternoon took his wicker basket on his
arm to peddle the jewelry he had made in the
preceding week.
"Second street was then the chief retail
street, and the jewelers along that thorough
fare would buy Baldwin's modest output di
rectly from his basket.
"He was a deeply religious man, and it was
a grief to him that his trade ministered to
worldly vanity.
"He wanted to be a printer, for he held that
this was the. noblest art open to man since it
meant the dissemination of knowledge.
"His business prospered, and he began to
make bookbinders' tools. To dispose of his
wares he opened a shop in Lodge alley, where
he made calico stamps.
"Ellwood Pusey, who still continues the
business, has informed me that he possesses
some of the old Baldwin stamps.
"Mr. Baldwin wanted a stationary engine.
He decided to build one for himself, and ac
cordingly he designed a 20-horsepower upright
engine, which is still preserved at the Baldwin
works and was in use up to five years ago.
"This episode turned his attention to the
steam engine, and his studies had created a
lively interest in the possibilities.
"At that time the Liverpool & Manchester
railway was holding its locomtive trials, from
which George Stephenson's 'Rocket' emerged
triumphant.
"The mind of the public was engaged with
the steam locomotive, just as it was with aero
nautics after the Wright experiments.
"The Camden & Amboy railroad imported
four of Stephenson's locomotives, one of which,
the 'John Bull,' is still extant.
"When the brig carrying the locomotives
reachafl Bordentown, Baldwin went to see the
pieces discharged. He said he could build one
himself.
"Franklin Peale, brother of Rembrandt, had
a museum where the old Masonic temple stood
on Chestnut street west of Seventh, where Sin
gerly put up the three banks. He hunted up
Baldwin and got him to build a little locomo
tive, with a gauge of 18 inches, to run around
a track in the museum.
"Baldwin did not then entertain the idea of
becoming a builder of locomotives exclusively.
"The promoters of the Philadelphia, Ger
mantown & Norristown railroad saw his little
locomotive, and decided that one like it would
attract excursion patronage.
"So they ordered a four-ton locomotive. It
took Baldwin a year to make this. He had to
manufacture everything his own tubes, tires
and pumps. There were then no collateral in
dustries. He finished his engine in November,
1832.
"It was found to be too heavy by half a
ton. The railroad refused to receive or to pay
for it. As a result of arbitration he received
$3,600 instead of the $4,000 he asked.
"The railroad, nevertheless, finally accepted
the machine and advertised: 'The locomotive
engine, manufactured by Matthias W. Baldwin,
will run on fair days. On rainy days horses
will be attached, as usual.'
"Baldwin said he was through with locomo
tive building; he would never make another.
"He didn't realize, that there would be such
a lively demand. The South Carolina railroad
asked for one. Then the orders came in thick
and fast.
The stories of Dr. Edward H. Williams, of
Mr. Parry and of Mr. Converse are likewise full
of dramtic incident.
"Dr. Williams was born in Woodstock, Vt.,
a little place, numbering today but 2,500 in
habitants. His father was Judge Norman Wil
liams; his mother was a woman of rare in
tellectual attainments. The doctor was one of
five brothers. He decided on a medical career,
and made a start at the primitive medical col
lege in Woodstock.
"Then he became an interne at Bellevue
hospital in New York so that he had the best
medical education the times afforded and set
tled down to practice at Proctor, near Rutland.
"Almost overnight he became famous
through his cure of Alexis St. Martin, the man
whose skull was pierced by an iron bar as a
result of a quarry blast. He used simply the
ordinary antiseptic methods that are now uni
versally accepted, but then the cure was sensa
tional, for this was the first man that had sur
vived such an injury.
"The Rutland railroad was then being built.
Its chief engineer, a man named Sewall, boarded
in the same house with Dr. Williams. The doc
tor was insatiaby inquisitive. If he went to
sea he would be on the bridge with the navigat
ing officer. Night after night he studied engi
neering problems with Sewall. He made ad
mirable drawings.
"One day Sewall said: 'I have a request for
an engineer to build a railroad in Canada. I'm
going to name you.'
"'I don't know enough,' the doctor remon
strated. " 'O yes you do,' Sewall insisted. 'I know
how much you know. If you stay here you'll be
a country doctor, driving over the hills until
you're gray. If you're lucky you may acquire
a small competency. Transportation is to be
the great industry of the future. Those who
enter it will be the empire builders.' He
painted so vivid a word picture that the doctor
succumbed.
"As a result he turned his back on medicine
and became a partner in the firm. It was a
remarkable instance of a man who had made a
brilliant success of one profession shifting in
mid-career to another entirely different."

Insurance.
F. M. In March, two Insurance
men came to my house and insisted
that I take a five year policy from
them, as I could get it $25 cheaper
that way than by taking for only a
year at a time. I told them it was
impossible for me to do so then but
they finally persuaded me to sign up
for it anyway, saying that if I could
not pay for it then they would
make arrangements with a local
bank so that I could pay it any time
oetween then and December 1
Nothing was then said about sign
ing a note, but a few days ago I re-
ceived a letter from them saying
that the local bank was unable to
handle my papers at that time as
they had sold my note to a bank in
another town. As I have not drawn
any benefits from this company and
they have broke their agreement
without first notifying me, am I
bound to pay off that note?

"RAINBOW GOLD."
(Peggy and Billy find the pot of gold
at the end of the rainbow, but Judge Owl
warns them against It. While they are
looking at the gold, ra farmer boy drives
them oft and runs away with the gold.)
The Family That Was Happy.
HE farmer boy's family, father,
mother, Sister Sue and Sister
Jane, were gathered around the
supper table, happy in their enjoy
ment of the evening meal. They
chatted merrily and it took but a
glance to see that here was a house
hold in which dwelt peace, content
ment and harmony.
"I wonder what is keeping Hen
ry!" said the mother, looking out
over the fields. She didn't see Hen
ry, for at that moment the farmer's
boy was behind the barn hiding the
pot of gold under a pile of straw.
Peggy and Hilly, hovering above
Henry's head in their toy airplane,
watched every move he made. They
felt that as they had found the pot
of gold it belonged to them and they
were determined to get it back.
They would wait until Henry went
into the house, and then they would
grab it and run away. Of course
they would have to make them
selves large again, for now they
were just the size of the birds, but
they thought that would be easy by
using the Golickety charm.
"Henry! Henry!" called the fath
er, and when Henry didn't answer
the farmer left the supper table to
look for him. The farmer boy didn't
like to leave the pot of gold, even
after he had hidden it securely, and
crept back to take another jlook.
And as he was looking his rather

barn.

Personal Injuries.
J. E. M. A few years ago I was
injured by being struck by a railway
train. I settled with the company,
but at the time did not know of cer
tain injuries that have recently de
veloped. Does the release that I
gave at the time of making the set
tlement prevent me from suing
again ?
Answer. No doubt the release
that ou signed did cover all injuries
that you sustained whether you
knew of the same at the tnie or not.
However, it is necessary to see the
form of release and know the cir
cumstances under which the release
was obtained in order to answer your

Divorce.
M. C. Is there some way I can

Infant's Property.
H. 8. V. I am 16 years of age
and have recently been left quite an

relative. Are my parents entitled to
any of this money for supporting me

Henry, taken by surprise, tried to
push the pot of gold out of eight in
the straw.
"What have you thereT" asked
the farmer suspiciously.
"Nothing," answered Henry, un
truth Cully.
"Nothing! Then why are you hid

severely, striding over to the straw
staek. "Let me see."
"I'll not. It is nothing," said
Henry.
"What's this? You disobey me?
And you answer me untruthfully?

"It's only an old pot I found in

"I'll take a look at it," said his
father. Henry tried to hold his
father back, and in the struggle the
pot became overturned and coins
poured out in a golden stream.
"Ah! Money! A fortune! Where
did you steal this?" cried the
father, dropping on his knees and
scooping the coins back into the pot.
"I didn't steal it. I found it in
the field. I'm going out into the
world with to have a good time.
"You're going to do nothing of the
kind. You are my son and you
found this gold on my farm; it be
longs to me!" exclaimed the father.
"No no, no! It is mine, mine!"
cried Henry. But his protest was
all in vain, for his father picked up
the pot and ran into the house.
"See what I have a pot of
gold!" he shouted. "I'm rich, and
I'm going to become richer, for I'll
buy more farms and make them
grow rich crops for me."
"Ah, now I can have that new
house I want," exulted the mother.
"Now I can buy beautiful
clothes," cried Sister Sue.
"Now I can go to Eu.ope and be
come an artist," added Sister Jane.
"You can do nothing of the kind.
I'll need it all to buy more land and
still more land until I become the
richest farmer in the state," declar
ed the father, rubbing his hands like
a miser as he gazed at the potful of
gold coins.
"You can't have it; the gold be
longs to me!" shouted Henry rebel
liously. "I'm going to have that new
house," insisted the mother. "And
I all the new clothes I want," Insist
ed Sister Sue. "And I'm going to
Europe," insisted Sister Jane. With
that the whole family that only a
few minutes before was so peaceful
and happy worked themselves up
into a blind rage, making such a
row that a man, sneaking along
the hedges, crept up to the window
of the house and looked in. With
a thrill of alarm, Peggy and Billy
noticed that he wore a queer, strip
suit and had no hat.

"Fire!" shouted the convict, hid

the family quit quarreling. Forget

they ran to fight the flames. That
is just what the convict figured they
would do, and as they fled out of the
door he crawled in at the window.

LABOR.
The whistle blows,
And from the bench and shop
And factory, a melting pot
There comes a multitude;
The youth with head erect
And lithe of limb;
The old and bent, alow of step,
Their dally task
Bear with fortitude.
This is labor.

The Human
Equation
To make our patrons
feel at home; to make
it easy, pleasant and,
profitable for them to do
business here is our fore
most ambition.
The banking business
calls for a high de
gree of conservatism and
a strict regard for detail
and accuracy.
But these things, we
feel, need not pre
vent those engaged in
this business from being
human and regarding their
patrons in the same light.
