You should know that Omaha has one of the finest free dentist clinics in connection with the city schools. The $14-hog is coming back from the war. St. l.ouis draws an 8-cent car fare. Going up! Austria has signed up, but settling up is yet to come. The Visiting Nurses are always welcome to a tag day in Omaha. Marshal Foch should be induced to come J- and taste Omaha's hospitality also. "Rejection 'or ratification" is winning votes for rejection.

Reeckless driving is entirely too prevalent on Omaha's streets. A remedy for this con edition should be discovered somewhere. J.'The senate committee on foreign relations has notified the world of its views on the treaty. Now, let us see what the body will do. Speaking about sergeants and heroes, how many of you recollect Corporal Whatshisname, who told the captain that the Maine had been blown up? ' Whenever a congressman is willing to go along and assent to whatever the White House suggests, he is a patriot; if he does not, he is a partisan. One consolation yet remains to the follow ers of Omaha's base ball team. It can't lose many more games this season, and it posi tively can not go any lower in the standing table. i General Wood disagrees with Secretary Baker on the point of the size of the standing army, saying there is no justification for an organization 500,000 strong. The public will very likely agree with the general. On one point the president is entirely cor rect There are too many hyphens left in this country. What is wanted is a pure and un mixed Americanism, without taint of other allegiance. Until this can be had, our work is at home, rather than abroad. This, however, may be "provincial," but it was insularity and a thousand years of hammering that welded the contents of England's melting pot into an homogeneous whole. Giving and Keeping Pledges 'Abhorrent as this conclusion is to those . who would not make a promise without full intention of keeping it, it has the merit of frankness. Neither Mr. Wilson nor anybody else can tell what the congress in session in . 1925 or 1930, or in any other year in the future, will do, and no treaty, even though it be ne gotiated by a precedent-smashing president acting as his own plenipotentiary, can over-ride the constitution of the United States. Yet the acquiescence of Mr. Wilson's supporters in this pledge and their simultaneous declaration that it needn't be kept is no more than a typical example of the curious doctrine of the viola bility of pledges of which Mr. Wilson has just given the counry so conspicuous an example. We, refer, of course, to President Wilson's pledge to the senate on July 9 to put at its iisoosal or at the disposal of the committee on foreign relations all the information he had concerning the proposed treaty of peace with ; Germany, and his subsequent refusal to fulfill that pledge. We have no means- of knowing whether Mr. Wilson's determination not to ful fill the pledge of July 9 was formed before it was uttered or was formed subsequent to its utterance; the conspicuous and important fact is that, when he was called on for the informa- tion he of his own free will and on his own ' initiative had promised the senate he refused to comply wih its terms. With so conspicuous an idealistic exem plar of the quality of concrete promises to guide them it is not surprising that Mr. Wil son's supporters should regard entrance into a solemn engagement with no purpose of fulfill ing its terms as a light and happy expedient But that is not the notion the American peo ple have of such a transaction, and in treating the covenant of the league of nations the Ameri can people and not Mr. Wilson's band of inter nationalists are going to prevail. New York Sun, . . PAN-AMERICANISM. In Omaha and elsewhere along his route the president has alluded to the springing up of a "pernicious pan-Americanism," suggesting that it is as abhorrent as pan-Germanism. This, of course, is a corrollary of his charge of "provin cialism" against those statesmen who do not agree with him. It deserves brief examination. Pan-Germanism as we understand it is bet ter expressed in the slogan, "Deutschland ueber Alles." If it means anything pan-Germanism means German domination of the world, not merely a coalition of Teutonic races, but the subjugation of all other nations under the sin ister rule of the superman. Pan-Americanism on the contrary has been fostered by the United States for many years as a desirable and salutary program. As far back as President Benjamin Harrison's time, a Pan American congress assembled in the United States. Since then sessions have been held at different American capitals, and a great head quarters organization is maintained in Wash ington. This movement' is fostered not to give one or another of the members any ad vantage over the others, but to conserve and forward mutual interests through intelligent co operative effort It finds its inspiration in the Monroe doctrine, which recognizes the common life and interests of all the American republics. Until the present time it has not been con sidered "sinister" or "pernicious" in any of its aspects, unless by those European governments whose commerce and political aims are ad versely affected by a common understanding between American governments. Such pan-Americanism is not a menace to peace of the world, the president to the con trary notwithstanding. It is to preserve the basic condition of this co-operation that the senate insists on a specific recognition of the Monroe doctrine, should it be threatened by the League of Nations. A settled and accepted policy of so many years is not to be lightly abandoned for any vague and uncertain ex periment. ' A Warning to British Labor Ratification or Rejection. If Mr. Wilson's recent remarks about rati fication or rejection- of the treaty are to be ac cepted literally, the real issue in the case ii practically joined. The senate committee on foreign relations has reported out the treaty with forty-five amendments and four reserva tions. Some, if not all, of these are likely to be assented to by the senate. The question then comes, Will the president accept the ver dict and ratify the senate's work? At the White House conference the presi dent was discreetly noncommittal as to whether he would ratify an amended treaty. On his present tour he has frankly demanded ratifica tion or rejection. His course on this point has had the effect of bringing out against him cer tain senators who had not accepted the ex treme possibility of rejection. These for the most part cling to the belief that moderate reservations and reasonable amendments are not insuperable objections to the success of the treaty. Taking the president at his word, though, they will prefer rejection to the acceptance of terms that are incompatible with the welfare and best interests of the land. Reservations reported to the senate have al ready been discussed, as have the issues con tained in the Shantung amendment and that looking to establishment 6f a voting parity be tween the United States and the British em pire. These are not captiously conceived. They involve questions of principle of deep concern to the whole country, and as they are adjusted will affect the future of the United States. A question of judgment has arisen between the president, whose vision is international and embraces the world, and the senate, whose outlook rests on a foreground of American in terests, the care for home institutions, and the preservation of our liberties first. A choice be tween the two must be made. John Mitchell, Labor Leader. A mighty man has fallen in the ranks of or ganized labor, and a worthy and patriotic citi zen has finished his work. John Mitchell is dead. Only those who have been closely as sociated with the industrial and sociological movements, which run parallel, for the last fifteen years, understand or appreciate the great influence, the sterling qualities and loveable characteristics of this man. v Son of a soldier who fought in the union army, he was an intense American; the child of penury, he tasted all the bitterness of pov erty, his father having died and left a widow with small children to provide for by her own efforts. The darkness of the coal mine sur rounded his boyhood years, but his mind broadened and he came to manhood with vision strong and clear. In 1902 he came into na tional prominence as head of the United "Mine Workers of America during the great anthracite coal miners' strike. It was then his remarkable ability and capacity for leadership was proved. He was also found to be incorruptible, a fact admitted by' foe as well as asserted by friend. In the more or less celebrated "contempt case," set in motion by Judge Wright of the District of Columbia, Mitchell came in for gen eral publicity along with Gompers and Morri son. His public career was then well launched, and as a member of the National Civic Federa tion, a chairman of one of its departments, and as commissioner or chairman of many of New York's state social activities, he has been a busy man for the last ten years. How much of good he accomplished none can tell, but those who came into contact know how com pletely he was devoted to high ideals. "Johnna-da-Mitch" will be sorely missed and sincerely mourned by those who knew him well. From the New York Times, More than fifty years ago Frederick Harri son, a firm and wise friend of fade unions, was . a v-i T J ft. ' a member ot tne Koyai . i raaes union commiS' sion. He has seen them grow and expand un til they have not only obtained for themselves advantages then undreamed ot, out, uncier sei fish and radical leadership, they have become in some respects a. parasite upon and a danger to the British community. At 88 this old and steady friend of the just demands of labor, this clear, impartial thinker in so many neias, cam UDon the labor leaders to make iheir "fellow workers understand how close to ruin and starvation our people stand." Trade unionism, which for two generations, intelligently con ducted, won incalculable advantages for itself and the whole British people, is now threat ened with a revolution in its own ranks. It infested with the exotic madness for sovietism revolution, anarchism. Unless its leaders can make the hotheads obey, unless its members can be united in a policy of common sense, it "is lost, and in the breakdown of it ruin and starvation await millions of our people) at home." , Great Britain has a debt of $40,000,000,000, It is getting deeper into debt every day. It is importing annually $4,000,000,000 more than it exports; and for most of its imports it is paying merely paper promises. "The wages paid enormously exceed the real value of the work done. Bread, coal, houses, sea and land transport are all subsidized, as very soon meat and milk will be subsidized. That is, the pro ducers of these are getting far more than the goods are worth. Great Britain has been paying millions to keep the price of bread fixed. It is paying mil lions for higher wages. It is giving doles to the employed and doles to the unemployed, many of whom prefer not to work. When the price of coal was raised six shillings a ton, Mr. Smillie, head of the Federation of Miners, de nounced the decision of the cabinet as "an elec tion dodge." As a matter of fact, it brought vividly and clearly before the British public exactly what the policy means of granting sub sidies derived from taxation of the public to satisfy the insatiable demands of the trade unions. Obviously, subsidies must stop some time. There will be no money left from whioh they can be borrowed When the British consumer saw that he had to pay a bigger price for coal in order that the miners might get threefold wages, while their output was steadily diminishing, the fatal re sults of trade unionism unlimited were im pressed upon the taxpayers. Mr. Harrison seeks to impress them upon the trade unions. He tells them that a large portion of the wages paid to workmen is simply a gift. They are paid more than their work is worth out of the taxes of their tellow-citizens. Labor keeps getting gifts of money "which its labor does not earn; it is sucking down the savings of thrift and piling up debts to lie heavy on our children." This cannot last long. If much of the wages of 10,000,000 or 15,0W,000 men or women is to be paid by the taxpayers, "this monstrous form of charity will soon end." There will be no fund left for the gift to come from. "Great Britain," Mr. Harrison says, "is paying its workmen and workwomen " a bonus of $1,000,000,000 more than they really earn." Besides, the transaction is really one of "paper credit." If the practice is continued, the state will be bankrupt, the workmen will starve. The coal export has been failing. The Brit ish foreign investments have been transferred to save exchanges. High wages, the high price of coal and raw materials make the price of British manufacture so high that foreigners will not purchase. Great Britain has got to buy its food abroad or starve. What is it going to buy it with, provided it has ships enough to bring it? And now ships cost so much that they can't be built. The miners have given a dangerous and are seeking to give a fatal blow to the cardinal British industry on which all others depend. Competitor nations are driving Great Britain out of its foreign markets, even out of its home markets. "We cannot go on working "five days for six hours if foreigners "work six days for eight hours." It is a dark and a true picture by the hand of a friend who has no motive except the good of the trade unions and his country. Unless British trade unions are blind to facts, to their own interest as well as the general interest, they will go no further on the road to ruin. Some Unusual Arithmetic Before Christmas days arrive the people of the United States will receive in interest on liberty bonds $458,000,000. They bought the bonds in a spirit of patriotism and now find it an investment, as well as a debt which they must eventually discharge. No usurer receives the interest or had any part in fixing it. Our own citizens own the bonds, and now, with an agreeable feeling, cut the coupons. Many citi zens bought bonds "until it hurt," often making sacrifices and exercising unwonted economy. But fcow well it pays! If those who receive interest in the months remaining of this year so elect they will be paid in war savings stamps instead of cash, an operation by which they ob tain compound interest. Now here is a pleas ing and interesting problem tn mathematics. The debtors are also creditors. The debts are also investments. Much of the money saved would not have been saved but for the admir able responses to the liberty bond calls. In Healimr with this oroblem. what is the com- r a! Demand Surplus Neve So Great; Never So Short. San Francisco. Cal., Sept. 6. To the Editor of The Bee: There never was a time in the history of the world when merchandise was so short or the demand so great, or when the balance of trade was so enormously in favor of the United States. It would be surprising if, following- the greatest war In his tory, some things were not out of tune, but there is nothing that can not be remedied or that will not be remedied. Of course, the calamity howlers, professional pessimists, the I. W. W.'s, anarchists, and bolshe vik!, are trying to create a tempest in a teapot and make mountains out of a mole hill. Naturally, there has to be a re adjustment and it will be made, Some people may get hurt:, but the united states as a whole has gone ahead and will go ahead. If the United State authorities want to in quire into things, let them do it from the standpoint of economics ratner than political expediency. The world will gradually get back to a point where it will begin to think straight once more. There are many years of prosperity for us if we don't go to extremes. However, the political agitator can do a vast amount of harm if taken too seriously. We want constructive suggestion from the federal trade commission rather than destructive criticism. We want an appeal to reason rather than to the sensational scandal-monger. Back of all the fluff in this country there Is considerable common sense, whicfl usually comes to the surface when the necessity arises and I have no fear of the future and the present is taking care of itself.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Cardinal Mercier's Mission. Cardinal Mercier says he has come to thank Americans for their help and loving sympathy extended to Belgium while the war was on, He need give himself no concern on that-point; a special visit was not called for. Americans have had their reward in the knowledge that they were able to feed and clothe the needy of his land and to relieve as far as possible the distress wrought upon it by a merciless foe. We are interested in the cardinal himself, though. The primate of a great church who had the courage to defy the men of. violence, J who lifted his voice not as a cardinal but as a citizen of an unjustly invaded and cruelly rav aged country, rousing the fire of patriotic devotion, urging his people to resist the wrong even to death, is welcome amongst us because of his courage, his sincerity and his un selfishness.

ThrouKh the River. PEGGY and Billy were filled with wonder when they looked across the river to the great build ing where the charming mermaid was toiling. How had she come to be shut up there she who had seemed so free as she sang on the rocky isle and raced along the beach. "Teacher! Teacher!! Teacher!!! Teacher!!!!" sang Ovenbird War bler Nightingale, but the charming mermaid sang no answering song out into the night. She waved her hand sadly and turned her back to where hundreds of other girls were busily working. "Why, do you suppose, she is in prison?" whispered Peggy to the Prince of Dollars. "Prison!" he exclaimed, making a queer sound in his throat. "If that is a prison, then I am her Iail er." Peggy and Billy looked at him in surprise. "xnat is one or my mills," he went on. "It Is grinding out dollars for me. But no more shall it grind at night with young gins reeding toe machinery. And no more shall it grind as a orison. but as a pleasant, happy working piace ior contented, cheerful work ers. uome, we win give them a holiday to celebrate the better days to come." The Prince of Dollars steered the auto toward a bridge which led across the river to the mill. But when they reached the siver they round mat me storm had turned the stream into a rasing torrent and water was sweeping over the floor of the bridge. They could not pass. Lightning was still flashing and the thunder rolled and banged. It was the wildest night Peggy and Billy had ever seen, and the raging river before them made it seem all the wilder. As they looked in dismay at the angry waters there came a particu larly angry flash of lightning, fol lowed sharply by a terrific crash of thunder. The Jar shook the auto. "That struck near here!" shouted Billy. "The mill! See, it struck the mill!" screamed Peggy, pointing to wnere a tiny Durst or name waa leaping up from the roof. "Those girls! My mermaid love! They must be saved!" shouted the prince. "Get out, Peggy and Billy! I'm going to cross that bridge." "And we're going with you. Go! Go!" screamed Peggy.

Again and again the rush ing stream threatened to sweep the auto away, but each time ffe Prince of Dollars held the swaying car to Its course.
