You should know that .Almost every important coal pro ducing field from Illinois to the Rockies has direct railroad con nection with Omaha. Cooler days are coming soon. . Words without reasons carry no convictions. The world may yet thank God for the senate. s Brewing is another home industry that is 'meeting with some disfavor. "Black Jack" got a big send-off York, but wait till he hits Nebraska 1 New Whatever else may happen, the president is having av fine ride through a splendid country. . Be very patient, for the hot weather is put ting the finishing tbuches on a magnificent corn crop. Japan does not like the attitude of the American senate. Well, the feeling is mutual just' now. Ukrainia has dr-'eed death a punishment for leaders in anti-Jewish pogroms. This is a sign of progress. ! ; v Well, the senator finally got a the president, but think how hard to .work for it. boost from he has had RETURN OP GENERAL PERSHING. Some quality of unusual interest attends the arrival of General John J. Pershing at a home port. It is not alone the leader of a victorious army who has come back to be again a dweller in the home land. Were he only that, the fact would be occasion for public demonstration. He is a simple American soldier, who has just completed an assignment, and returns to carry on. Twenty-seven months ago he slipped away from his native shores secretly, his departure guarded by every device for preventing its being known. To the world he was an experi ment, but embodied its hope. On him rested tremendous responsibility. A country of un limited resources bus without an army, had en tered a war in the making of which were em ployed the resources of great nations, and the engagement of millions of veteran troops. -Pershing could only expect to lead men un trained in the art and science of arms; his task was complicated by all the possible drawbacks that might confront a great strategist. An army had to be built from raw material, equipped and mantained from hurriedly contrived supplies, and then taken across an ocean through the obvious terror of the U-boat and mine fields. Once there, its bases must be organized, com munications established, and all the features and elements of the field campaign set up de novo, with the single exception that the enemy was present in force wherever the leader turned. ) I Only an American, thoroughly imbued with the spirit of his country, could have' calmly undertaken so stupendous a job. Pershing went across unknown, he returns a world figure. No leader of armies has won higher honor or de serves greater praise. Just as Americans are honestly proud of the wonderful army they as sembled and sent abroad, so are they rejoiced that its able, modest leader has now come home in safety, with his work well done. Monroe Doctrine Amendment ; jOld King Ak showed the visiting merchants a merry time. Too bad the president could not have stopped over and enjoyed the real show. . ','Wilson's militant style stupefies foes of the league," says the W.-H. headliner, but it does not appear to be getting him any votes, and that is what he set out to hunt. Shutting .down the street cars deprived a great many people of a chance to see the presi dent, and did not materially add to the im pressiveness of the parade or the safety of the distinguished ;' guest. - If, as the Brooklyn Eagle insists, the con stitution carries sufficient reservations on Ar ticle X,' why not have the same expressed'with some formality, so that other nations may un derstand the point the same as we do? . : Again The Bee demonstrated to the people the, difference between a newspaper and an organ. Its extra edition, first on the streets, contained a fuller account of the president's address than was given by the others in their later( tries. Chairman Hays is right when he tells the country the vote on the treaty will come as soon as the president tells his democratic sup porters when. Republicans have no desfre to delay it a minute longer than is necessary to let the "swallow-it-whole" crowd say their say. :. Omaha' mobilized a real honest-to-goodness army- yesterday of 25,000 public school chil dren, who are marching along to make the world a better place to live in. We have as much pride in these soldiers as in those who tramped the- hills and plains of France a year tgo. ' Another point in connection with the presi dent's Omaha speech. His deliberate effort to discredit congress with the people is unworthy f him. 'The congress of the United States is elected by the people, and the "voices most audible in Washington" are those of the repre sentatives of free Americans, in this instance chosen against the expressed wish and earnest appeal of , the president of the L'nited States that some others be selected. Brass Tacks, Mr. President President Wilson didn't debate the peace treaty in Columbus. He says he is not going to debate it anywhere. He will expound it that is, tell what is in it and why it was put there. : If he sticks to this program and we have his own word for it in the Columbus ad dress he will not dwell on what is left out of the treaty that a host of American citizens would like to have in it, or at least in reserva tions .accompanying its ratification by the senate. ' While Mr. Wilson was sermonizing beau tifully on the league covenant and peace terms at the Ohio capital the foreign relations com mittee of the senate was approving such reser vations. We take it that the very thing the thinking people of this country want just now is a aeoate ana not a sermon, iney wtsn to have it cleared up in their minds whether the thing the senate committee is undertaking to do is the right thing or the wrong thing. Mr. Wilson's opinion is solicited. They desire that the president get right down to brass tacks on the merits of the whole reservation contro versy. He didn't get within gunshot or "naked- eye vision of the tacks in Columbus. Can it be that he is deferring that till he reaches Minneapolis next Tuesday? The senate committee -has now given pre cisely the kind of text the people would like to have Mr. Wilson talk to in his subsequent speeches. Do we or do we not need reserva tions as to domestic questions, as to the Mon roe doctrine, as to withdrawal privileges, as to Article X and as to other matters upon which the draft of the pending treaty has been challenged in the senate and out of it? Brass tacks, Mr. President, brass tacks. alinne.aRolis Tribune . ' Bolshevism and the Treaty. Gen. Jan Smuts, who prepared the draft for the League of Nations covenant which was accepted by the Paris conference, does not share the views expressed by the president that it will end bolshevism. He gave it as his opin ion when leaving London for South Africa that Russia's future, rested with the Russians alone, ard that the world would have to accept what ever form of government they adopted. This, he anticipated, would be a modified form of the soviet republic. Nothing in the treaty, expressed or implied, will operate to settle domestic questions, and the spread of the "red revolution" is one of these. America is not seriously menaced by this lunacy. Popular government is too se curely founded to be shaken -by such a storm. An insinuation that unless we follow the presi dent implicitly we may be engulfed in the chaos that overwhelmed Russia is fit only to be put alongside the "He kept us out of war" slogan. As far as Europe is concerned, we can not interfere there, nor could we, were the treaty and the league adopted fifty times over. By it we would yet be bound to permit any people to establish the government it feels will meet its needs. No plea yet made for the League of Na tions is weaker than the suggestion if it be swallowed whole that the political Storm clouds will clear away at once, the angry waves that disturb the economic life of the world will be stilled, and the beautiful rainbow of uni versal peace will span the heavens. European peoples, long submerged, are struggling to find their feet; we can help them, but will do so better by not trying to force on them any prescription of our own for their government. When they are able to stand up we can and will deal with them, but first of all they must help themselves. Our own affairs, which still hold something of concern, even to the most philanthropic, will prosper just as we give them careful attention. Social discontent that finds expression in anarchy is not a novelty, nor is it likely to be cured by a super national combination whose ultimate powers are only human. President Losing Ground. In spite of the persistent barrage of opti mistic predictions laid down by the fuglemen of the administration, the president's cause seems to be losing ground. At any rate, reports from Washington indicate that it is losing votes. Instead of having the democratic group solidly behind his plan to adopt the treaty and the covenant it contains just as conveyed at Ver sailles, Mr. Wilson is confronted by the fact that some of the most influential of his party associates have declared themselves in favor of the reservations. Others who are not ready to come out into the open as yet have declared that the assertion that they are for the treaty as presented is unwarranted. The small block of "mild reservationists" is breaking up, some of its members expressing themselves as ready to accept the report of the committee. Thus it begins to look as if the confident predictions of Senator Hitchcock that the president would triumph were made without sufficient informa tion, and that instead of being "stupefied" by the president's speeches, the careful considera tion of what is contained in the treaty has led the senators more certainly to the conclusion that it should not be swallowed whole. It will be ratified, as has been stated from the first, but with definite reservations. From the Chicago Tribune. When the president was answering the in terrogation of senators at the recent confer ence he made the following statement in regard to the provisions supposed to cover the Mon roe doctrine; - "There absolutely was no doubt as to the meaning of any one of the resulting provisions of the covenant in the minds of those who par ticipated in drafting them, and I respectfully submit that there is nothing vague or doubtful in their wording. The Monroe doctrine is mentioned expressly as an understanding which in no way is to be impaired or interfered with by anything contained in the covenant." A reader of The Tribune and, by the way, he was an officer and shows the reluctance so common in the A. E. F. to our involvement in European politics has submitted a significant parallel to Mr. Wilson's remarks, quoted from Lord1 Robert Cecil by the London Mail: "The amendment respecting the Monroe doctrine does not specifically recognize what is commonly understood to be the American . conception of that feature of American for eign policy,- but the amendment was frankly accepted in order that the occasion for cer tain opposition to the league covenant in America might be removed. The amendment may be described as vague in its essence. It leaves the Monroe doctrine where SO years or so of international practice has left it, and one gathers that it is regarded as fully satis fying American susceptibilities about the car dinal features of their international policy." We think this statement of Lord Robert, who was the member of the conference for Great Britain held chiefly responsible in the matter of formulating a covenant, should be read and pondered by every American who is inclined to accept the assurances of advocates of ratification without reservation. Lord Robert's statement of his understand ing is in flat contradiction of the president. Mr. Wilson says "there is nothing vague in their wordings." Lord Robert says: "The amendment may be described as vague in its essence." But the most serious consideration arising from this deadly parallel is derived from Lord Robert's 'disclosure of the real purpose of the amendment.' as he understands it. It does not recognize the American conception of the doc trine, but was acceped "frankly" to allay cer tain American opposition to the covenant. Mr. Wilson declares there was no doubt as to the meaning of any provision, that there was noth ing vague, that the Monroe doctrine is named expressly as "in no way to be impaired or interfered with by anything contained in the covenant. Lord Robert declares our con ception of the doctrine is not recognized and that the amendment is vague in essence and accepted only to allay opposition to the covenant. If this is a meeting ot minds our eye sight is poor. Either Mr. Wilson does not know what Lord Robert understood, or, know ing, is concerned only to allay American oppo sition by giving a false, impression of the amendment. We should hesitate to make the latter charge, but the necessary alternative is the con clusion that Mr. Wilson has been deceived and that his assurance to the senate that all was pertect understanding at the conference is a dangerous error. The parallel demonstrates, moreover, the absolute need for clear reservations not only as to the Monroe doctrine, but as to all essen tial points of America's vital interests. Lord Robert's statement is warning of what the future will develop in the way of misunder standings, mutual incriminations, and danger ous friction. In fact, it emphatically points to the wisdom of demanding an explicit recognition of the Monroe doctrine by the principal powers which propose to lean so heavily upon our unweak ened arm. America has asked nothing from the peace conference or the associated powers and she has got exactly what she asked. This is false altruism.

Let The Bee Tell You. tte qOs' (OTTZ&T Labor's Sovereign Remedy There have been many treatises onthe cause and cure of high prices, profiteering and social unrest more recondite than that presented by a comrriittee of the New York Federation of Labor, but none stronger in common sense, economic truth and homely philosophy. The immediate cause: Uncertainty as to government regulations, uncertainty as to new legislation, uncertainty as to labor's attitude and uncertainty as to future market conditions. In such a situation the stage is set for specu lation, extravagance, indolence and demogogic arts. The first remedy: There must be suspension of class and party struggles for advantage, a determination at once to increase production of all essential commodities, co-operation be tween employers and employes to accomplish as much in eight hours as formerly was gained in 10 and an absolute truce as regards strikes and lockouts for six months at least, so that the people may have a breathing spell and the president be given the same loyal support in meeting the problems of peace that was ac corded to him in time of war. Noble principles these, patriotic in every word of them and statesmanlike in their saga cious grasp of conditions seen and foreseen. It is organized labor that is speaking in further ance of the policies of a president whose acts and utterances in these matters have been char acterized as extreme if not revolutionary. But if this is not true conservatism, where are we to look for it? New York World. Great American Educator. Few leaders in American educa tional circles are more widely known than Dr. James H. Klrkland, Chan cellor of Vanderbilt university, who celebrates his 60th birthday anniver sary today. Dr. Kirkland comes of a family that has been conspicuous In religious and educational work for several generations. His early edu cation was received at Wofford col lege, in his native town of Spartan burg, S. C. After graduating from that institution In 1877 he went abroad for post-graduate study. Upon his return he became professor of Greek and German in his alma mater. The years 18S3-86 he spent in further travel and study abroad. His connection with the Vanderbilt university dates from 1886, when he became professor of Latin in the Nashville institution. Since 1893 he has been chancellor of the univer sity. In addition to his education work Dr. Kirkland has written ex tensively for the educational and' philost phlcfjl reviews. Canadian Conservative Ix'ader. Sir James Ixnitfhead, who has just celebrated his 65th birthday, has Rerved as the leader of the conserva tive members in the Dominion sen ate ever since the retirement of Sir Mackenzie Bnwell during the ses sion of l!06-7. Sir James was born at Brampton, Ontario, and in early life removed to Toronto, where he received his education In the law and was admitted to the bar in 1881. The next year he went to western Canada, stopping for a while in Win nipeg and then taking up his per manent residence in Calgary, where he scon rose to high prominence In the legal profession. He was made a queen's counsel by the Dominion government, and was summoned to the senate in 1889. In 1911 he be came a member of the Dominion cabinet and in the same year he was one of the representatives of the senate at the coronation of King George and Queen Mary. DREAMLAND ADVENTURE By DADDY.

Kendrick of Wyoming, who has lately passed his C2d birthday, has been one of the most candid and forceful critics, in congress and out, of the business methods and monopolistic tendencies of the packers who control the meat trade of the United States. His home is in Sheridan, and he comes from a legion where the raising of animals used by the packers is an important industry, and where he can gain first-hand information of the effect upon producers of the middlemen's tactics. He owns large ranches in northern Wyoming and southern Montana. He grew up in Texas, lived for a time in Colorado, and then settled in Wyoming. In 1910 he began his public career as a member of the Wyoming senate. In 1915 he became governor and continued to fill thnt office until his election to the United States senate. CHAPTER III. ' Tlio Fleeing Voice. OOM - ur - ur - boo - oom -boo- oom! roared the thunder among the mountains. And then as the lightning flashed bllndlngly close at hand the roar turned Into a sharp crash-sh-bang-rippety! Fast and still faster up the moun tain road drove the Prince of Dol lars, following the sweet voice that sped on ahi d of the racing auto. "My merrnald love, wait for us!" cried the prince. "We will save you from the fury of the storm." But the sweet voice did not stop. It went on and on as swiftly as the flying motor car. Peggy and Billy grasped each other's hands and wondered what the end of this strange race would be.- No girl or boy or man not even an Indian could run as fast as the auto was going, and yet the voice was float ing on ahead up the mountain road without any sign of strain or ef fort. And how the mermaid could find her way in the pitch-black darkness and among the trees of the moun tain forest was a mystery to Peggy and Billy. The auto had lights, but there was nothing to show the path to the singer except the frequent flashes of lightning. Again Peggy whispered to Billy: "Perhaps she is a witch." Now the wind came rushing and shrieking over the mountain top. It made the auto shake and threat- 33 21' 25 26 ' Si 3o a .12. Pr? 43 ' r v io T ?0 V44. ' J .45 .50 52? 4a 51- Hoo! Hoo!

It swirled among the trees, bending them over as if they were reeds. The prince stopped the machine In the shelter of a great cliff. "She will be swept away by this storm! I must find my mermaid," he cried. But as suddenly as it had started the rush of wind stopped. There was a brief pause and then down came the rain in sweeping sheets of water. Above the pelting of the rain came the voice again, pure, sweet, melodious. "She is calling- me. I come! I come!" shouted the prince, and he dashed away in the dark woods. "If she is a witch, she may carry him away," cried Billy, leaping after the prince. "I'll go with you," screamed Peg gy, and she ran after Billy, while Judge Owl came flying on behind. Flashes of lightning showed them the prince standing under a tall tree In puzzled confusion. The voice was no longer ahead of them. It was not at either side, nor behind them. Yet It was very near. "The mermaid is up In that tree," cried Billy. "How In the world could she get there?" gasped Peggy, for the trunk looked far too smooth for climbing. "Come down, come down, my belovfl mermaid." shouted the prince. But the only answer was another trill In the song. "Hoo! Hoo! I ll go up after her," hooted Judge Owl, flapping into the darkness. For a moment the only sound heard was the rum ble of thunder, the beat of the rain upon the leaves, and the song from above. Then abruptly the song ended In a shriek. "Hoo! Hoo!. I've got her," hooted Judge Owl, and a flash of lightning disclosed him fluttering with something clutched in his claws. Another flash came, and there was Judge Owl beside them, with a small bird struggling in his talons. "Why, that's only a bird. Where's the mermaid?" cried Peggy. "Sing!" hooted Jude Owl to the bird, and from Its throat poured the song they had been following all tkr way up the mountain. "The song of my mermaid love," shouted the prince. "She has turned into a bird," exclaimed Billy. (In tomorrow's chapter them Ktrange thlngn.) the bird telle Japan's Grab in Shantung. The language of the president's address leaves the impression that 'Japan gets rather less in Shantung under the treaty than was held by Germany. Here is the language of the opening paragraph of article 156, section viii of Part IV of the Treaty of Versailles: Germany renounces in favor of Japan all her rights, titles and privileges particularly those concerning the territory of Kiaochow, railways, mines and -submarine cables which she acquired in virtue of a treaty concluded by her with China on March 6, 1898, and of all Other arrangements relative to the prov ince of Shantung. How could Japan possibly have gotten more than is awarded by this? It is true that Eng land and France were bound by secret compact to give this to Japan, but in what sense was the United States bound to any such arrangement? And how does this assent by our president square with his firmness in ' refusing to give Fiume to Italy? And, while he was rearranging the boundaries of central Europe, why did he not give some heed of China's plea for simple justice? Belated Passing of the Buck A correspondent of The New York Evening Post has taken the trouble to interview as many as possible of the 93 representatives of German "kultur" who in 1914 issued the manifesto absolving Germany from all guilt or wrongdoing, but can find only one who still defends the document, and that is Her mann Sudermann, dramatist, who is supposed to have been the author of it. Prof. Lujo Brentano, a scientist, says he consented to the use of his name by telegraph, and did not see the text until he received a! venomous protest from Yves Guyot, but having once put his name to the document had to de fend it as best he could. Prof. Max Rein- hardt, musical director, gave his consent by telephone without seeing the text, and refused to sign the answer made to the tnglish pro fessors who protested against the document. Felix Weingartner, a famous musician, makes a similar excuse. Max Liebermann, an artist, defends his signature on the ground that all the information at his command was what the German government gave out. And so they go! Toronto Globe. Great Iioer Soldier. Lieut. (.Jen. Jan Christian Smuts, who ha.s been invited to become pre mier of the South African Union is succession to the late General Botha, has a record of past achievements in many directions, as student, lawyer, soldier and statesman, such as few men ran show. He is a native of Cape Colony, and began the practice of law in Johannesburg, arter a bril liant career as a student at Cam bridge university. At the outbreak of the South African war he joined the Boer forces and rose to the su preme command in Cape Colony. After the conclusion of peace he ployed a most important part in the work of reconstruction. During the world war he rendered most valuable services to the empire, first as Gen eral Botha's able second in command of the campagn in German South west Africa, and later as commander of the imperial forces in the East African campaign. In the latter part of the war he was called to England to serve as a member of the im perial war cabinet. The Wrong Idea.

To the Editor of The Bee: Our lease expiring September 1, our noble landlord has suddenly and without warning raised our rent $75 per month, be ginning October 1. Inasmuch as we supply and have continually supplied our own heat, light, janitor service and repairs, the gentleman cannot fall back upon the hackneyed alibi, the high cost of fuel and labor. During the nine years we have oc cupied the premises we have helped greatly in making the property. The landlord has not aided so much as to supply a screen door or a coat of exterior paint, although in the nine years, for the 12 feet fac ing Farnam street, we have paid him over J2,000. This raise has not been peculiar to us. but has gone all the way up the line from 1607 to 1617, from Mogy's to Geisler's Bird store, and has affected the various tenants in strange ways. Mogy is found dead under distressing circumstances, the Wolfe Electric company is cruelly forced out at a high cost of moving, Myers-Dillon is up in the air.

The Pig and Whis tle, a newly stalled enterprise, is forced to yield or suffer the added expense of moving and re-establishing themselves; the barber shop raised hair cut to 50 cents and shaves to 25 cents and then can hardly make it go. Geisler's ex clusive bird store is affected, too. Canary birds and dogs go sky high and why? Our landlord, residing somewhere in or near Boston, wants more return on his holdings. The question is this, Mr. Editor; Must we yield and is there no re dress? Must we sacrifice our little business which we have been build ing up day and night for nine hard years?
