You should know that
Omaha has 35 miles of beauti
ful boulevards, connecting 22 nat
ural parks, through river and hill
drives.
Burleson's immunity still holds.
Omaha is all lined up now to give the presi
dent a real western welcome.
Mr. Redfield might have waited until he
', could catch the president at home before re
: signing.
r Roumania is another nation that trusts the
' United States, but wants to do its own map
making. " "Watch Ole go," shout the Scandinavians
, of the northwest. "Ay tank he can make it in
two yumps."
Nebraska proposes to celebrate a centennial
anniversary this month. This state has a his
tory, you know.
Mr. Shotwell's action "shocked" Mr. Ringer.
Does he think the "morals" squad can get away
with murder, tor?
"Put up or shut up" on the reservations that
are to strengthen the place of the United
States in the world.
Keeping "war on the outskirts" is a good
deal like "keeping us out of war," which is
I always hovering near.
No man is above the law in America, and
the sooner this truth is recognized and applied,
the sooner peace and quiet will reign in Omaha.
Bare feet and bare legs are the rule in Po
land these days, and may come to America, if
the leather barons insist on their present course.
"Their case is so weak they are not hard to
beat," said the president, referring to those who
do not agree with him. What is all the fuss
at) dm, 'then?-
The president gives the mikado a fine cer-
f lificate of character, but he also sent Kaiser
VViJhcIm a congratulatory cablegram on the oc
casion of his birthday in 1915.
We are assured that the sugar shortage in
Nebraska is a myth, but Omaha housewives
who have been trying to get sugar to make
grape jelly are aware that something is wrong.
That round-the-table conference on indus
trial matters ought to bring out the points of
difference, and if these are clearly established
the way to a settlement should not be hard to
find.
- Only 2,400 square kilometers of Germany
will be occupied by Uncle Sam's boys, tat that
will be enough to satisfy the folks at home,
who would like to see the lads out of there en
tirely. .
That bunch of bolshevists who shouted so
I loudly for the soviet republic in Chicago might
yet be invited to go to Russia and see how it
works. Then you would hear a different sort
of shouting.
X vUnelt Sam paid a fairly liberal price, even
for wartimes, to have his boys hauled to France,
but the occasion was urgent, and the old boy
does not mind, so long as they nearly all ar
rived and returned safely.
Denatured German Diplomats
Divers names, too numerous to mention if
they were worth mentioning, have been pro
posed at Berlin, in a somewhat jumbling, hesi
tant "trial balloon" manner, of German diplo
matists, selected or said to be selected, as
German ambassadors to the United States and
other countries. What difference does it make
-what German diplomatist is selected? They
were all brought up in the same treacherous
and dishonest school. They all bear the same
taint. The hideous crimes perpetrated and at
tempted by German ambassadors and ministers
in many different countries during the war
have sufficiently instructed us in German diplo
macy. These men practiced in war a little
more flagitiously the ordinary arts of German
diplomacy.
S A German embassy is primarily a great
spy system in the country to which it is ac
credited. As counselor of the German embassy
at London the egregious Von Bernstorff re
hearsed his brilliant performance of "The Com
plete Spy," in this country. There are grada
tions in the manner of German diplomatists,
but substantially none in their methods.
Wherever they are, they spy out the land; they
try to control the citizens of German origin in
it; they work to steal its business secrets, to
use it for German benefit, in case of need to
embroil it with other countries. They are per
fectly crooked in their methods, absolutely un
trustworthy. The worse they are, the better
is their standing, if they are not found out.
" Till German diplomacy is denatured of its
guile and its falsehoods in short, till every
thing which characterizes it has been changed
or removed how can anybody trust it, and
what difference does it make who is the Ger
man : ambassador? There has eot to be a
change of heart, conviction of sin, contrition,
repentance,, resolve to "lead a new life." Till
the German people show that, perhaps it is too
much to expect it of German diplomatsj but a
new and honest German diplomacy would
greatly contribute to international good rela
tions in the future. New York Times.
RESERVATIONS.
The senate committee on foreign relations
has fairly met the challenge of the president,
presenting its answer in form of definitely
framed reservations relating to the terms of the
League of Nations compact. These deal di
rectly with the covenant as it affects the
interests of the United States, and undertake
only to safeguard the future of the country.
First, the senate asks that the right of with
drawal from the league be made unconditional
for the United States. Second, that this coun
try be not held to guarantee the integrity of
another from external aggression, to assume
any mandatary, or to declare war without the
consent of congress. Third, that determination
of domestic questions be left exclusively to
the United States. Fourth, that we be per
mitted in the future as in the past to place our
own interpretation on the Monroe doctrine.
Does anyone find In these formal statements
of policy and principle anything that endangers
the peace of the world? Do they contain any
element of threat against another country? Are
they not in form and in fact expressive of a de
sire to secure the safety and perpetuity of our
liberty and our national institutions?
If wise and patriotic statesmen have de
termined after careful consideration that the
language of the covenant should be made
clearer by an official construction on part of
this country, so far as its own welfare is in
volved or its own great powers are engaged, is
it sufficient answer to say the reservations
emanate from "pigmy minds?" Have all the pa
triotism, philanthropy, moral and material re
sources of our people been comprised in the
group that proposes to swallow whole the
league covenant?
It will be interesting to have the president
deal specifically with these reservations, if he
be so minded. Will he squarely join issue with
the senate, and say the reservations are neither
wise nor patriotic?
Honeyed Words What Do They Mean?
Mr. Wilson is dispensing verbal treacle in
liberal doses as he goes through the country.
"There wasn't an oppressed people anywhere,"
he said, "that could not get attention for its
case under the league." He did 'not mention
any oppressed people by name, but many of
his hearers remarked that they thought he
spoke of the case of Ireland, so runs the press
report of his meeting at Indianapolis. And
the worst of it is, he is willing they should
think he referred to the case of Ireland. He
knows that the Irish question is one for Great
Britain to deal with, that as a domestic matter
it can not be brought before the league; that
in event of revolt by the Irish, Article X for
bids interference by any outside nation; that
the Irish delegates were denied a hearing at
Paris, but he says any oppressed people can
"get attention under the league," knowing that
some will interpret this to mean Ireland.
This is not the first time Mr. Wilson has
experienced the effect of having general and
loose assertions literally interpreted by those
who have faith in him. Nor is it the first time
he has said something he later qualified or
negatived. All through the war he has been
found continually shifting from one position to
another, statements made at one time being
flatly contradicted at another, until his ad
dresses have become confusing rather than
illuminating. He may 'have sought to sway
the public mind, as he is now doing, by such a
train of argument as would gradually bring the
people all to think as he does, but even such
purposes scarcely can justify the swing from
pole to pole that has marked his public ex
pressions on the war, its causes and its leaders
from 1914 down to now. Certainly as to Amer
ica's part he has reversed himself frequently.
A little more frankness and decision, and
less adroit effort to befuddle an anxious peo
ple, would be more becoming at this very im
portant time.
To Vindicate the Law.
Steps taken by County Attorney Shotwell
in connection with the murder of Eugene Scott
will have the approval of thinking people. His
course will not and can not affect the rational
enforcement of laws aimed at the suppression
of liquor traffic or other forms of vice. No
right-minded man would willingly interfere
with the efforts of the police or state agents in
dealing with bootleggers, or others who engage
in any one of the vicious employments inimical
to public good. This sentiment in favor of a
clean and decent community, though, must not
be made a cloak for violence on part of the
police even more vicious than the violations
they are pretending to combat. In the pro
ceedings that culminated in the killing of the
bellboy at the Plaza hotel the law was ignored
completely by the officers engaged. Their in
vasion of the hotel premises without a warrant,
their utterly reckless pursuit of the frightened
boy, and their fusillade that brought his death
were all parts of the policy of terrorizing pur
sued for months by the "morals" squad. At
torney Shotwell has properly determined to
check this total disregard for the rights' of citi
zens. The law is best observed when all feel
its dignity and respect its power.
No Place for "Class" Parties.
One of the statements made by Colonel
Roosevelt at the Auditorium deserves more
than ordinary attention. It is that there is no
room for class parties in America. In a land
where equality before the law is the rule, and
where liberty rests on law, division of the peo
ple into political groups according to their
material interests is unwise and unnatural. We
must go up or down together, and one class
can not permanently prosper at the expense of
another. Just now when discontented men
and women are allying themselves in support
of revolutionary or reactionary policies, the
saner elements of society must resolutely dis
countenance the effort to break up our na
tional fabric into class divisions. Selfishness
always is found at the bottom of any 'of these
movements, and that is all the more reason
why they should be discountenanced. Ample
opportunity is afforded all to thrive and go
ahead in America. Laws must touch all alike
and favor none, or the purpose of our govern
ment is defeated. Rule by group or class means
ruin for free America.
From the Federal Reserve board comes as
surance that prices are going down, but the
drop is proceeding so slowly that none need
be greatly alarmed as to a crash.

Chemistry in Peace and War
From the Philadelphia Ledger
He would indeed be dull to all the most
inspiring signs of the times, and blind and in
different to the signal historic background
which Philadelphia affords in the matter of
chemistry alone, who should not see in the 58th
annual convention of the American Chemical
society which begins here today an event of
the greatest importance to the intellectual, sci
entific and industrial development of America.
Philadelphia, where Priestley in the revolu
tionary period lectured on his epoch-making
discoveries of the gases and elements and com
pounds laying the foundation of modern chem
istry, and where later Robert Hare with his
assaying and his oxyhydrogen blowpipe and
electric furnace made those experiments that
are the basis of metallurgical and electrochemi
cal industries, and where general commercial
chemical manufacturing began over a century
and a quarter ago with the same families still
continuing the enterprises, to say nothing of
the gigantic development of later times, not
only in industrial chemicals, but in drugs and
medicinals as well, Philadelphia is unquestion
ably the proper place for this convention there
fore since it has some of the most famous
"firsts' 'to its credit in American chemistry,
and, today, easily leads in output in many lines
far beyond all other sections of the country.
But the unusual character of this convention
does not grow out of the normal developments
of the American chemical industries, as is so
strikingly exhibited by the activities of the
well-known firms of Philadelphia and the
"Philadelphia district," but by reason of the
conditions that confront the American chemist
and the American chemical manufacturer as a
result of the world war. For, while it has be
come almost a commonplace for various groups
and interests that took their part in the war to
claim that this and that thing won the war, it
would be very easy to make this claim for the
chemical interests of the allies, and, particu
larly, to give the American manufacturers of'
powder and of the chemicals needed in all the
industries tributary to the war, the credit for
bringing Germany to her knees. This triumph
of the American chemical manufacturer, more
over, took on a peculiar character of industrial
revenge, since the extraordinary success with
which the menace of Germany was met and
overcome, not only represented a great military
victory secured by science, but a civil and in
dustrial victory which'is far more fatal to Ger
man pretensions in peace than it was to Ger
man prowess on the field.
In other words, it was not only that we
were shipping 4,800,000 gas-filled shells a month
abroad when the armistice came; or that we
were able to turn out 4,000,000 gas-masks hav
ing twenty times the protective value of a
German gas-mask; or that we were manufac
turing "Lewisite," the most deadly gas known
to man, at the rate of 10 tons a day on Novem
ber 11; or that from a total production the
world over of only 100 cubic feet of helium in
1915, a noncombustible gas, used in dirigibles,
at a cost of $1,700 per cubic foot, we were pro
ducing helium to the extent of 150.000 cubic
feet in 1918 at a cost of less than 10 cents a
cubic foot from natural gas in Texas and Kan
sas, but that all these things that figured in the
chemical warfare service were but secondary
to our production of dyes and drugs and chemi
cals used in the industries, arts and sciences
that ran into the millions, and once and for all
settled the so-called monopoly by Germany of
the chemical trade of the world.
Of course, what has happened in the five
years of the war is a long and brilliant story of
scientific achievement by American chemists
and manufacturers, and a great deal of this was
forecast at the fourth national exposition of
chemical industries which opened at New York
just one year ago. But that was in wartime.
Now, at peace, the American Chemical society
is eager to meet the challenge of the world,
and is ready to take an account of stock, to
tell what has been accomplished by its asso
ciates and to settle beyond all controversy that
the Philadelphia convention is to hear a new
declaration of independence, and that is the
independence of American chemical industries
of the German monopolies that have disap
peared with the war, never to return unless the
American chemist and manufacturer be sold
out by those who control things in Washing
ton. But such a fate is not in sight, and, con
sequently, the society meets today under aus
pices that easily proclaim this the greatest
occasion in the annals of a famous organiza
tion. The American chemist has proved his
right to be reckoned with as a determining ele
ment of our industrial supremacy in the future.
And it goes without saying that the American
Chemical society will not be recreant to this,
trust or indifferent to the ppssibilities whictt
lie at its door and await the country's recogni
tion of its unparalleled opportunity
Ratification By Committees
To oblige the democratic national commit
tee the state democratic executive committee
of Alabama, whose legislature and the majority
of whose people are opposed to the ratification
sf the Susan B. Anthony amendment, urges
that special sessions of state legislatures be
:alled, wherever necessary, to ratify that
amendment. The committee's preambulary
whereas is delightful:
The democratic party .earnestly desires
that women of all states may vote in the
election of 1920.
To translate poetry into prose, read:
"The democratic party in some states and
democratic committees and most democratic
politicians in all states earnestly desire," and
!o on. Since republican committees, state and
lational, and most republican politicians are as
eager for the same blessing as their democratic
brethren, how is either side to have an advan
tage therefrom in "the doubtful states," sup
posed to be peculiarly sensitive to these sym
pathetic resolutions?
How would it do to amend Article V of the
constitution so that amendments shall be pro
posed whenever two-thirds of both national
committees deem it necessary, and shall be
valid when ratified by the state committees of
three-fourths of the states? New York Times.

"THE CHARMING MERMAID."
Sportsman and Statesman.
Probably the only man who was
present at the signing of the peace
treaty which concluded the Franco
Prussian war in 1871, as well as
the treaty ending the late world
conflict, is Lord Dunraven, the noted
sportsman, soldier and politician. In
his early days he was war corre
spondent for a London newspaper,
and it was In that capacity that he
went through the siege of Paris and
later was present at Versailles when
the peace treaty was signed. Lord
Dunraven's family is one of the few
of Irish origin in the Irish peerage
and claims to be descended from
one of the early kings of Ireland.
The present holder of the title has
been under secretary for the colo
nies and has held several other pub
lic offices, but to the people in gen
eral he is best known in his charac
ter of a brilliant yachtsman. On
two occasions he has built a yacht
for the purpose of trying to win the
America cup, in both of which at
tempts he was, however, unsuccessful.
Stands High on Education.
Marlon Leroy Burton, who reaches
his 45th birthday today, occupies a
high place in the educational world
as president of the University of
Minnesota. He is a native of Iowa,
grew up a farmer's boy, and found
his way to Minneapolis, where, in a
measure, he was dependent on self
support. For three years he at
tended Carleton college, where he
made a record of unusual, scholastic
ability. Then followed a period of
service on tne faculty of Yale Divin
ity school. He was called to be
pastor of the Church of the Pil
grims in Brooklyn, and it was there
that the trustees of Smith college
found him in 1909 and induced him
to accept the presidency of that
well known institution for the high
er education of women. Two years
ago he left Smith college to accept
the presidency of the University of
Minnesota.
England's Aged Chancellor.
Lord Halsbury, who has just en
tered upon his 95th year, is a for
mer lord high chancellor of Great
Britain and now the oldest member
of the peerage. In spite of his
great age he is wonderfully vigor
ous, and he still indulges in long
walks, while his mind is as keenly
active as ever. Lord Halsbury
comes of a legal family, and there
never was any doubt in the choos
ing of his profession. He was first
called to the bar in 1850, and for
a time at least showed little prom
ise of his future greatness. Fifteen
years after his call he took sick, and
his first great success was his de
fense of Governor Eyre of Jamaica
for alleged cruelty during a rebel
lion. Later he appeared for Arthur
Orton in the famous Tichborne trial,
when for his earnest and emotional
pleading he earned the nickname of
"the weeping counsel." At the age
of 50 Lord Halsbury became solicitor
general, and in 1895 he was made
lord chancellor.

NATIONAL ANTHEMS.
Field Is Open Now for New and Re
vised Patriotic Songs
Buried in the scrapheaps of war
along with a few bales of imperial
standards are some of the national
anthems which have stirred the
blood of many peoples with patriot
ism or revolt.
Soon the world's productivity is
due to be augmented with a new
peace time crop a crop of revised
and renovated national anthems
not to mention the tunes and stan
zas which will soon be flourishing
in the fertile field offered by the long
list of new nations. Some of these
nations never have had a national
anthem, except that thrust upon
them by the decree of an oppressing
government, since the days when
chanted fables and lilting folksongs
went out of style in favor of this
more modern form of crystallizing
national ideals and ambitions.
In Germany, Russia, Austria, Hun
gary and Turkey genius should be
at work by now evolving some stir
ring expression of a new era to take
the place of national anthems which,
though they will doubtless remain as
songs, certainly nave lost tneir
powerful popular appeal they once
had. Russia's "Bozhe Zaria Chra
ny" (God protect the czar) probably
would still stir up fighting blood in
Petrograd, but it has lost its ap
propriateness. Poor battered Serbia probably will
still try to sing its old national song.
"God in His Goodness." France,
Belgium. England, Italy and Amer
ica have added new glories to their
famous songs.
But this is the day of the small
nation. Lithuania, the pride and
bulwark of Europe In the days when
the Tartars and Mongols were driven
back by the forces of Vytautas, has
never had a national anthem, wnen
last Lithuania was free, folksongs,
the spontaneous expression of an
cient glory and fable, were the only
national music the kingdoms of Eu
rope had evolved. The Jugo-Slavs,
the Czecho-Slovaks, Poland, Estho
nia, Lettland, White Russia, Ukrai
nia and perhaps other new states
will soon be contributing new na
tional music to the world's list of
ereat songs born of Intense feelings

Remedy Suggested.
A way has been discovered to
overcome the prejudice against the
six votes which the British empire
(composed of a number of separate
dominions and states) will have in
the proposed league of nations. The
remedy is simple enough: Let the
United States be really plural and
have 48 votes Savannah News.
Satirical But Just.
A member of Parliament sug
gested that it would be a graceful
act of reciprocity for the British
government to place at the disposal
of the United States its experience
in governing negroes in return for
the senate's interest, on the Irish
question. The remark was made
satirically, but there is a great deal
to be said in favor' of it. New

It be fun to have It atop for us and
carry us miles and miles away?"
"Into a thrilling adventot,',
added Peggy.
"Waw-oo-ooo!" sounded the auto,
now very near, and right on top of
its shriek came another shriek of a
different kind. "Hoo! Hoo! Too!
Too! Get out in the road, Princess
Peggy 1 Get out in the road,
Billy Belgium. Hoo Hoo! Too!
Too!"
"That's Judge Owl! He's Is in the
auto!" exclaimed Billy. Seizing Peg
gy by the hand, he drew her out
Into the road.
Around a curve flashed two glar
ing lights and a huge motor car
came tearing toward them. They
were at the side of the road and
seemed in no danger, but suddenly
the auto hit a bad spot in the high
way, swerving quickly and plunged
straight at them.
Hilly tried to jerk Peggy out of
the way, but she fell right In the
path of the roaring machine.
"Whee-t-ee-eee!" roared power
ful brakes, and the auto, rearing
like a suddenly checked runaway
horse, came to a stop so close that
one wheel caught Peggy's dress.
"Gracious me! It's Peggy and
Billy! Hop right in!" shouted a
voice as Billy pulled Peggy free
from the wheel, and there was the
Prince of Dollars lookind down at
them.
Peggy and Billy, though shaking
a bit from the narrowness of their
escape, didn't need a second invita
tion. They ran around to the door
of the auto and climbed In. Whir
iriririr! purred the engine, and
away they went so fast they could
scarcely see the trees along the
road.
"I'm going to search the whole
world over for my lost mermaid,"
shouted the Prince of Dollars to
them. "I'll climb mountains: I'll
drive through rivers; I'll dash into
tire to find her and make her
mine."
"Hoo! Hoo! You speak true! All
that you'll do, and lots more, too!"
Peggy and Billy looked around.
There was Judge Owl cllnglng to
the back of the seat and looking
very solemn.
(Tomorrow will be told how Judge Owl'a
prophecy begins to come true.)
