Home building is more active in Omaha than

Strikers at Los Angeles are showing the
lack of consideration for even their own in
terests that is more destructive of trades un

sibly could be. It is splendid to stick when
right, but suicidal to hold on when wrong.
When Labor Learns
Since the signing of the armistice Great
Britain has been swept by strikes that shook
it to its center. In .one quarter and another,
month after month, unrest and disorder
. reigned. At Belfast and Glasgow industry' was
, paralyzed. At Liverpool all shipping was tied
tip. In London local transportation was
halted. The metropolitan police were in a state
of revolt. Hundreds of thousands of miners
,in Wales and Yorkshire walked out and mills
: were forced to shut down, for lack of fuel. The
triple alliance of transport and railway work
ers threatened to challenge the government to
a test of strength. No one could foresee to
what excesses labor might be driven under the
' whip of reckless agitators.
At last the crest of the storm has been
passed and the clouds are breaking. After the
fearful strain of five years of war and the tur
moil of readjustment to peace conditions, it is
coming to be understood by the British people
- that they cannot live .by agitation and idleness.
- ind that productive work is the only practical
hni'tion of their troubles. In months of tur
bulence no other cure has been discovered, and .
,none ever will be. '. j
I -In this country we have not yet mastered '
the fesson of Experience of less fortunate na- j
tions. . Our losses in the war were relatively I
"5ght. After hostilities ended there was no
teng period of general unemployment such as
the British government was obliged to meet
by a system of special allowances. But social
unrest and labor disturbances have slowed up
ill classes of American industry when the
whole world was calling for American food
stuffs and American goods.
The first impulse of labor seems to be to
strike, as the one sure means of promoting it
prosperity. To cut down production, to lower
efficiency, to shorten the hours of work, ap
pears to be the accepted principle on which the
high cost of living is to be reduced. Somehow,
it is thought, food and clothing will be made
cheaper and rents lower by forcing prices
higher at the command of wage workers. It
cannot be done, either here or in Great Britain.
New York World
WILSON TO THE WORKINGMEN.
President Wilson addresses the American
people through his communication to the rail
road shop hands, and very succinctly sums up
the economic situation in these words:
It seems to me and I believe it will
seem clear to every thoughtful American, in
cluding the shop men themselves, when they
have taken second thought, and to all wage
earners of every kind, that we ought to post
pone questions of this sort until normal con
ditions come again and we have the oppor
tunity for certain calculation as to the rela
tion between wages and the cost of living.
It is the duty of every citizen of the country
to insist upon a truce in such contests until
intelligent settlement can be made, and by
peaceful and effective common counsel.
The president's expressed opinion that the
cost level has reached its peak may or may
not be generally shared, but his conclusion that
spasmodic and inarticulate advances in wages
contribute to the maintenance of the unsettled
condition is sound. His wholesome advice to
the working men should be accepted by them,
and by the country in general.
Until production has been restored to nor
mal activity, and the unrest now prevalent has
been supplanted by settled effort to create and
not merely to consume, the problem will con
tinue. The Bee has many times insisted that
the question is an individual one, for each citi
zen to answer for himself. He may patriotically
assist in bringing about the stabilization of our
social and industrial life, or he may selfishly
seek his own personal advantage and thereby
aid in deleaying the adjustment.
If health is again to prevail in American
affairs, it will be because all the citizens have
acted wisely. Leaders are grappling with
tremendous responsibilities right now, endeav
oring to keep the old ship moving head on
across the storm-tossed waters of business, and
will succeed only if those on board do their
share in helping.
We may be pardoned if we express the wish
that Mr. Wilson had shown insight as clear
and backbone as firm in 1916, when he was giv
ing his assent to the Adamson law. He might
have spared his country a world of trouble..
Modern Life and Educaton.
Major Barratt O'Hara has broken out in a
new place, this time with the suggestion that
"our restrictive laws close the doors of op
portunity for men and women who acquire their
education through hard study at home." This
would be important if true. The illustrations
the eminent major employs, that George Wash
ington could not have attained entrance to an
Officers' training camp, and that other presi
dents of the United States would equally have
been handicapped is worthy of the man who
has built up his reputation by the worst form
of demogogy, that of retailing half-truths.
Admission to the officers' training camps was
purposely fixed at a, moderately high educa
tional standard, in order that the work of in
tensive training necessary to the production of
young officers for the great army might not be
hampered from the first by the presence of
men whose elementary education did not equip
them with such knowledge as would enable
them to properly comprehend the instruction
given. If the major will pursue his inquiries a
little farther, he will discover that six of the
nine generals lately assigned to duty as in
structors in military science in the War col
lege have risen from the ranks.
The door of opportunity was not closed to
them, and all through our national life we find
men and women occupying important positions
who gained their training in that hardest of all
schools, the University of Hard Knocks. But
this does not set aside the fact that the boy or
girl who has been graduated from a modern
high school has a distinct start in life over the
one who has not had such training. And all
our organized effort is bent in the direction of
providing for each of thechildren of America
the greatest possible amount of educational
advantage before thrusting them into the battle
of life.
Recall Petition Short.
City Clerk Hunter reports the recall petition
recently filed as being "manifestly insufficient."
This refers to the lack of signatures, and does
not deal with the wholesale allegations of fraud
made against it. The incident will direct at
tention to the uncertainty of the language of
the law, which specifies that the petition must
be signed by voters in a number equal to the
"highest vote cast" at the election. Just now
the local authorities rule that this means 30
per cent of the vote cast for the proposition to
purchase the gas plant at the last city election.
In Lancaster county, the court held that it must
be 30 per cent of the total vote cast. Here is
a discrepancy. It is easy enough to determine
the total vote cast at the election, or on a
separate proposition, but suppose one of the
commissioners had poVed a higher vote than
the single proposition,' how would the matter
be determined? The votes cast for him are
plain enough, but how could the vote against
him be determined? The difficulty with the re
call is easily remedied by adopting the sugges
tion made by Judge Redick for the impeach
ment of public officials, but as long as we have
the law its operation must be borne with, how
ever courts may hold as to its application.
Treaty With France Gets "O. K."
The report of the judiciary committee of
the senate on the legality of the treaty with
France will probably bring about, its early con
sideration by the foreign relations committee.
Chief of the objections to the treaty was its
possible unconstitutionality, but this has been
cleared away. The committee, in reporting its
conclusions, warns the. world of its belief that
Germany has beeen vanquished, yet "nothing
but force is likely to restrain her from seeking
world domination at the earliest opportunity."
This was the belief at the peace council, where
the tri-partite agreement between America,
England and France was entered into.. "Such
a treaty is clearly warranted by international
law and usage, and is therefore within the-',
scope of the treaty making power of the United
States, says the committee. Whether the treaty
be immediately ratified, or not, it will be ac
cepted in spirit by the people of the United
States, who are willing to accept the moral
obligation. Knowledge of the fact that they
must also encounter the Combined strength of
the United States and the British empire is
about the only thing that will deter the Ger-H
mans from attacking France, and this knowl
edge will be thei
In the Bermudas
National Geographic Society Bulletin.
The Bermuda islands suggest the adven
tures of Robinson Crusoe in their colonization
and present in their later chronology a curious
parallel to United States history, with the
events consistently predated by a number of
years.
A principal group of the British West In
dies, some Englishmen suggest the Bermudas
should be ceded to the United States in part
payment of the Amarican war loans to Great
Britain.
The Robinson Crusoe comparison obtrudes
because the island was discovered and later
settled, as the direct result of shipwrecks and
the settlers had to build themselves a bark to
set sail again. As for the anticipation of Amer
ican history, on a miniature scale, it may be
rioted that the colonization, took place seven
years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth,
Mass., that witches were burned, Quakers
were persecuted and miscreants were ducked,
before similar occurrences are recorded in New
England; and that slavery was abolished in 1834.
The Bermudians protested long before 1776
against the mother country's rule, until the is
land prisoners were over full, but relief came, in
their case, not through a declaration of free
dom, but by the accession of Cromwell.
But the essential point of contact of the
American with the Bermudian arises from the
all but forgotten fact that, while the immortal
Lafayette gallantly helped the colonies conclude
their way of independence, the Bermudians sup
plied the ammunition to begin it.
So acute was the need for powder in 177S
that George Washington wrote to the gover
nor of Rhode Island that "no quantity, how
ever small, is beneath notice." Learning that
there was a store in Bermuda, and that the is
landers were anxious to have the embargo
lifted on shipment of food supplies from the
colonies, Washington addressed a letter to the
people of the island, who -had shown them
selves sympathetic with American revolution
ists, promising them ample supply of pro
visions and "every other mark of affection and
friendship which the grateful citizens of a free
country can bestow on its brethren and bene
factors" if they would make this ammunition
available for the Continental army.
The powder had been procured and with it
the Continental army compelled the British to
evacuate Boston.
Not only the sale of the powder, but" the fact
that Bermuda allowed the colonists to have
salt, so incensed the governor of Bermuda
that he upbraided the citizens for treason and
feelings ran so high that he was removed. His
successor ,was a native of Salem, Mass., whose
loyalty to the mother country was such that he
gave up large estates in the colonies rather than
join the revolutionists. He was connected
both by blood and by marriage with the Win
throp family. Under his rule the island's full al
legiance to England was restored.
He was succeeded by Henrv Hamilton, dur
ing whose administration the town of Hamilton.
r I . J i . e i .
was lounucu ana namea lor nim. j.nis town
today is the seat of the island government. It
has a population of less than 3,000.
Hamilton is on Main island, or Bermuda,
while St. George, the former capital, is on the
island of that name. There are more than 300
small islands in the Bermudas group, of which
only a score are inhabited. The total popula
tion of the islands in 1916 was little more than
20,000, of whom about one-third were white.
Bermuda suffered, during the war, by the ces
sation of the American tourist oatronaee. which
had doubled the entire island population in
preceding seasons.
The Bermudas attracted visitors because of
th eir mild climate, which knew no frosts, and
by their scenic beauty. The evergreen islands
are clustered with exotic plants of numerous
variety, their roadways are "bejeweled and
scented" with sweet smelling flowers, their
shores are penetrated by crystalline coral pools,
and the waters about are noted for their ever
changing and vivid color.
The islands lie off the coast of North Caro
lina about as far as Cleveland is from New
York, and at about the same latitude as Char
leston, Fort Worth and San Diego. They are
677 miles from New York.
Juan Bermudez, sailing from Spain to Cuba
in ISIS, with a cargo of hogs, discovered the is
lands when a storm blew him to their shores.
Apparently he left some of his hogs there, for
later visitors found the animals on the island.
From him the islands were named and thus
originated the "hog money," coins stamped
with a hog on one side and a ship on the
other, which still are preserved in various col
lections. The islands were settled through the
efforts of Sir George Somers, who became im
pressed with their fertility and beauty during a
sojourn enforced by the wreckage of the ship
which was carrying him to Virginia.
The Revolt of Food Control
Three senators, Smith of Georgia, Smith of
South Carolina, and Ransdell of Louisiana, join
Gronna of North Dakota in a scarcely veiled
threat to filibuster against any food control
amendment that will send profiteers to jail.
Cotton and wheat are apparently standing to
gether for the exploitation of consumers in so
far as the personal political interest of their
spokesmen will permit. Gronna says the farm
ers are against the anti-profiteer law. And that
is possible if not probable.
It may be frankly confessed that the law
means, as Hoke Smith phrased it, "the prosecu
tion of the individual for a wholly new and un
heard of crime." But if- wholly new crimes
have developed in the growth of civilization,
should they go unpunished for lack of prece
dent? Sinful it is for a man to be selfish and grasp
ing. If sinfulness threatens the comfort, even
the very life of the community, we think it
may properly be made criminal and punish
able. Profiteers' sinfulness does menace the
community. The people in all our cities know
it. Neither western wheat raisers nor southern
cotton raisers seem to understand the cities'
feeling.
The real question to be settled before such
a law is enacted is whether it is enforceable.
If it bears only on those who obey volun
tarily as good citizens, it does evil rather than
good and tends to bring all law into disrepute.
And -let us repeat here what the Eagle has
more than once said: that high prices are made
inevitible by conditions; that only extortionate
profits can be trimmed by the most drastic of
penal legislation. Brooklyn Eagle.

briefly and a reliable lawyer
will furnish the answer or
advise in this column. Your
name will not be printed.
Let The Bee Advise You.
Bathtug Beach.
C. B. I have often read your col
umn of free legal advice, and bo I
am submitting to you a question
which arose among a group or rei
lows about the right of the Carter
Lake club to keep a person out or
Its beach when that person enters
by the way of the lake.
A member of the club said they
own the beach to the center of the
lake, but several of us understood
that the lake is government prop
erty. Such being the case, anyone
would have the right to swim any
where on it. If one entered from
the shore he would be trespassing
on the club's ground, but if he en
ters from the lake he would remain
in government waters and would not
be arrested. The club holds that
they own it to the center of the
lake, and so any one entering the
beach in any way trespasses their
property. Which is right?
Answer We think that there Is a
right to swim or float upon public
waters as well as to sail upon them,
but we do not think that this in
cludes a right to use them for bath
ing purposes, as these words are
commonly understood.
Division of Property.
P. H. I have a good home here
in town which I paid for myself, but
two or three years ago I signed it
over to my wife, and since that time
it seems she got the children to go
against me and make it a real h
hole for me. I told her we had
better divide up and quit, but she
says no. Now, is not there any way
1' can get half the property by law?
Answer You can sue for divorce
and ask for alimony. The division
of property then would be left to
the court.
Divorce.
C. G. You will have to reside in
this state two years. As to expense
better see a local attorney.
Farm Paper.
W. A. I signed for farm paper
for one year and paid for in ad
vance. When time was out they
would send paper for two or three
weeks and then would stop for
some time, then would send again.
Kept this up for about one year,
then wanted me to pay for the same.
Please advise what is best to do.
Can they collect or not?
Answer If you accepted the
paper and did not notify the pub
lisher that you desired the same
discontinued you are liable. Cer
taini)' if the paper only came at in
tervals you would not be liable for
the year subscription price.
Custody of Children.
B. C The court granted a di
vorce and gave me the custody of
my two little girls. My former hus
band stated that he was going to
apply to the court for a writ of ha
beas corpus and get the possession
of the children. Can he do this or
must he apply to the court which
gave me the custody of the chil
dren? Answer If the court had jurisdic
tion that made the decree then an
application would have to be made
to the court and your husband could
not get possession by habeas corpus
proceedings.
Negotiable T!o!e.
J. G. W. I signed a note guar
anteeing the payment. At the time
I signed it there was stenciled on
the note that I waived demand and
notice of protest Can I be sued
along with the maker or must the
suit first be started against the
maker and then if the judgment is
not paid can they sue me?
Answer Your signing the note
guaranteeing the payment makes
you an endorser and you may prop
erly be sued with the maker in the
same action.
Shipment of Live Stock.
M. D. I shipped some cattle to
Omaha and the railroad company
for some reason or ether delayed
the shipment 24 hours. Is the com
pany liable for the depreciation in
the cattle owing to their delay?
Answer To entitle you to recover
ifor delay in transporting an inter
state shipment of live stock it will
be necessary for you to show by
competent evidence the length of
time ordinarily required to
transport the Bhipment from the
place where it was received to the
point of delivery, and that the rail
road company negligently delayed
the shipment longer than actually
necessary.
Breach of Contract.
H. S. R. I made a contract to
exchange my house for some land.
The party with whom I made the
contract refuses to make the ex
change. Please let me know what
my rights are?
Answer On refusal to perform
a contract for an exchange of prop
erty the injured party may at his
election treat the contract as termi
nated and sue for his damages.

BEWARE, FEMALE 'SKEETER.'
May Be Some Satisfaction to Know
Males Die After Summer Work.
The male mosquito does not bite;
his bill is so blunt that he could not
be a bloodsucker if he wished. It
is the female mosquito that does all
the deadly work of fever propaga
tion, according to a writer in the
Scientific American.
In the autumn the males die, and
the females seek winter quarters.
They hibernate in dark corners of
cellar and garret, and on the first
warm day of spring are out laying
their eggs. Save when extended by
the arrival of this hibernating pe
riod, the life of the female is one
or two months; the male, on the
other hand, lives but a few days. The
food of the mosquito is the juice and
nectar of plants and, of course, blood
though not necessarily that of
man; animals, reptiles and even cat
erpillars are , bitten with the same
freedom.
The female mosquito lays from 50
to 100 eggs at a time, on any quiet
bit of water. In about three days
they hatch, and though at first the
larva is very small, it grows rapidly
and attains full development in a
few days. We have then the familiar
wrigglers of the old-time" rain bar
reKaid the uncovered cistern.
During the larval stage, which
lasts from seven to fourteen days,
the malarial variety can be distin
guished from all others by the cu
riously inclined by virtue of the fact
that it lies with its body parallel to
the surface of the water, while the
other species hang with their heads
downward.

The same thought came to Teggy
and Billy at once if .all this burn

Teggy cried out In alarm:
"Wait, wait, your majesty! Keep

King Sun turned toward Peggy
and glared at her until she shook
in her shoes. He looked as if he
were about to blow up like a vol

King Sun suddenly burst into a
great laugh.
"Ho, ho! Keep cool! That's a
good one on me. Ho! Ho!" And
the soldiers all tittered at the
thought of King Sun keeping cool.
