PRESIDENT AND IRELAND
Finally the president has issued what pur
port? to be his interpretation of the covenant
of the' League of Nations as it refers to the
Irish question He particularly points to Arti
cle XI as covering Ireland's right to self-determination.
The text of this article is:
Any war or threat of war, whether im
mediately affecting any member of the league
, or not, is hereby considered a matter of con
cern to the whole league, and the league shall
take any action that may be deemed wise
and effectual to safeguard the peace of na
tions. In case any such emergency should
arise, the secretary-general shall, on the re
quest of any member of the league, forthwith
summon a meeting of the council.
It is also declared to be the fundamental
right of each member of the league to bring
to the attention of the assembly or of the
council any circumstance whatever affecting
international relations which threatens to dis
turb either the peace or the good understand
ing betwen nations upon which peace de
pends. If, under this article, the United States or
any other member of the league may bring
the case of Ireland forward for consideration,
as a possible casus belli, what is there to pre
vent England or any other nation from bring
ing in our relations with Mexico, our policy as
to the exclusion of Asiatics, or any one of a
number of occasions for international friction,
now left exclusively to our own determination?
In offering. his consolation to Ireland the
president virtually " admits the maximum of
charges against the covenant as it stands, that'
it takes the right of self-government away from
nations and vests it in a super-national as
sembly or council. If this be not true, then the
implied promise to the Irish that their case will
be given consideration by the League of Na
tions is not made in good faith.
The president's interpretation of Article XI
also gives deeper significance to Article XX,
against which much objection is laid, because
of its menace to national control of domestic
affairs. The apparent inconsistency between
Article X, which guarantees territorial integ
rity of members as existing, and Article XI as
now expounded, need not be debated. Try to
picture the spectacle of Great Britain giving up
Ireland or any other component part of the
British empire at the behest of the League of
Nations.
An answer to this may be found in the re
cent utterance of Lord Jellicoe; addressing the
New Zealand Club at Wellington, he said:
A look around the world shows that the
millenium is as far off as, ever. The Pacific
is growing daily in importance. It contains
great possibilities of trouble which statesmen
can better overcome with a strong force be
hind them. The protection of trade requires
more vessels than ever, the criterion being
not the number of enemy cruisers, but the
number of our merchantmen and the value of
our trade.
The Irish may be content with the presi
dent's shifty rrply, but Americans will do well
to remember that the lion does not intend to let
go anything on which he has laid his paw.
End of a Bit of By-Play.
Attorney General Davis has reported ad
versely to the proposed move to oust Munici
pal Judge Holmes from office for failure to
prosecute a so-called bootlegger. The attor
ney general finds two or three things wrong
with the proceedings. First, if the city prose
cutor found himself unable to proceed before
Judge Holmes, other courts of competent-jurisdiction
were open to him, and he might have
proceeded there. Also, the state's investigators
were unable to discover that a complaint had
ever been sworn to by the city prosecutor in
the case. And finally, the judge was acting as
police magistrate when the event occurred on
which the proceedings were based, and could
not for that reason be ousted as municipal
judge. Aside from the patent purpose of try
ing to show to outsiders that the enforcement
of the prohibitory law in Omaha is accompanied
by great difficulty, owing to the opposition of
certain public officials, which effort proved a
flash in the pan, the case is of no importance.
Some really interesting facts might have been
developed, though, had the inquiry been ordered.
One Vote Against Pershing.
Representative Schall of Minnesota has the
distinction of being the one member of the
house of representatives to vote against thank
ing General Pershing for his distinguished
service to the nation and to humanity. It is
not permitted to question the motives of" the
gentleman in so recording his opposition. He
would be false to himself if he did not vote as
his conscience directed. But most folks will
wonder on what ground he rests in his oppo
sition. In politics he is set down as a "pro
gressive," he as a practicing lawyer in Minne
apolis, and thus by inference at least ought to
be relied upon to sustain the cause that took
Pershing to France, as well as to approve of
the steadfast course he there pursued. How
ever, like the youth who fired the Ephesian
dome, Mr. Schall has Attained a momentary
fame. It maybe in ages to come some antiquarian
will dig up the fact that one vote was cast
against the resolution of thanks in congress,
but American schoolboys will always be taught
of Pershing and the work he did for the world.
Furlough for General Pershing.
"Black Jack" might be expected to take a
few days off, now that he is at home again.
Folks in Laclede, Lincoln and Omaha are all
more than eager to see him. They will make a
fuss over him, to be sure, but. they will also
let him lazy around just as much as he likes,
and have a real good time while he is resting
up. He writes them he can not take the time
from his work. He has many things yet to do,
principally to make his report on his two years'
stewardship of the A. E. F.. This is quite im
portant, and will probably be attended to in
shipshape by the only man in the world who
really can make it. Yet the world can wait for
it, especially as it will be laid away in the
archives of the War department to gather dust
If it be relief from the strain of duty the gen
eral needs, let him come to Nebraska and Mis
souri, where he will be greeted by his life-long
friends, who are more interested in him be
cause he is "Black Jack" than because of the
honors he won in France. He deserves a fur
lough and should take a real one.
. Herbert Hoover says America must con
tinue moral leadership of. the world. This will
be agreed to by all, but does not include the
surrender of America's right to self-government
in favor of a super-nation.
Texas is doing right well in the way of
taking care of its storm-stricken people. If
Nebraska can help any, let us know.
American Labor's Awakening
Washington Correspondence .London Times.
The United States is, besides Japan, the only
great country that has come out of the war
richer than she was when she went into it,
and with her industrial fabric fundamentally
unimpaired. Her resources are, according to
the standards of western Europe, but half de
veloped. She may no longer have at her dis
posal great virgin territories, the colonization
of which so eased economic reconstruction
after the civil war. But she still has unlimited
scope for intensive development in both the
industrial and agricultural fields. Foreign mar
kets are not yet for her the utterly vital neces
sity that they are for us. She can afford to,
dally, with her problems in a way which it
would b suicide for us to imitate. Why is it,
then, that there is so much anxiety about the
future, and that the excesses of the extremists
are not discounted as froth that will disappear
of their own accord as soon as things settle
down?
The .chief reason for anxiety is the lever
which it is soon clear labor will have for the
enforcement of any demands it likes to make.
It is feared that, what with the need of attract
ing to its side the radical wing of the working
class world, the present leaders of organized
labor may, especially if employers persist in
their pre-war obscurantism, become consider
ably moreadvanced than they now are. In
the old days the chief reason why capital could
be frankly and brutally selfish was the exist
ence of a vast floating proletariat of low-class
immigrants. Not only did these men make
invaluable strike-breakers but their amorph
ousness rendered almost impossible effective
organziation of fighting unions. .
For years past the Federation of Labor has
pressed for a curtailment of free immigration,
which for the decade preceding 1914 averaged
nearly a million annually. The war has already
given it a good deal of what it wanted in this
direction, and promises to give it more. Since
the armistice there has been a remarkable
exodus of alien working men. The figures are
as follows:
November 8,285 March 21.774
December 10,000 April 23,773
January 13,278 May 26,812
February 18,854 June 28,500
The reasons assigned for the exodus range
all the way from the call of nascent nationality
to the flight of wine drinkers from the pall of
prohibition. It is estimated by the Department
of Labor that some 2,000,000 are preparing to
depart. Social reformers rejoice at the pros
pect as much as union organizers. They see
the American melting pot purged of some of its
most difficult alloy for of the foreigners within
thej gate it has been calculated that some 2,000,
000 cannot speak and some 6,000,000 cannot
read English; and there is no doubt that among
them the seeds of anarchy find fertile lodgment.
. But this does not comfort employers. Nor
does the possibility that the prospective size
and permanence of the movement has been over
estimated. All they see is that, whereas before
the war the regular influx of nearly. 1,000,000
immigrants a year gave them none too many
hands, they are now, when the need for in
creased production is on every one's lips,
threatened by a very tight labor market.
Nor is the exodus their only trouble. There
is a good prospect that, even if natural causes
do not keep it suspended, congress may pass
laws making immigration very1 difficult for
some years to come. Its experiences with the
hyphenated during the war, and now with the
foreign agitator, has inclined American public
opinion to jettison the old idea that,it was one
of the functions of American democracy to
offer an asylum to the downtrodden of all races.
The prospect is not for employers a reassur
ing one. There is not only almost a certainty
of a shortage of hands, but there is a vista of
demands for wages that may easily become un
economically high and for hours that may be
come uneconomically short. FfV, as said above,
there is a fear that organized labor may grow
more exigent as it grows stronger. in past
years Mr. Gompers has sometimes had to make
concessions to the extremists such as he would
probably have shrunk from had he been the
autocrat of his class. Never has that extremism
been stronger than it is now. '
I do not allude only to the activity of law
less extremists such as the so-called bolshevists
and the Industrial Workers of the World. They
are disquieting, but it is difficult to think that
in this new, clean-minded, and spacious coun
try the unsavory doctrines which inspire them
will get really far, especially if the influx of un
educated foreigners is to become more or less
stopped.
But between them and the followers of the
conservative trade unionists there stands an
important radical contingent of genuine labor.
Some of its strength comes from within the
ranks of the Federation of Labor; some of it
from unions which often, because of their ad
vanced tendencies, are now affiliated to the
federation.
The chief, or at least the most interesting,
manifestation of this labor radicalism is at
present the movement for the formation of a
separate labor party. Mr. Gompers has al
ways frowned upon the movement. He and his
associates believe that more can be done in
directly by judicious pressure upon parties and
candidates than by direct interference in
politics.
As a jesult there is no labor party in the
United States. But the nuclei for one are
springing up. Local labor bodies are organiz
ing politically in various states. There is a
certain movement for political organization
within the Federation of Labor, and sundry of
the big independent associations like the rail
way brotherhoods have been nibbling at the
idea. Some of the political programs thus pro
duced reveal in an illuminating way the radical
ism with which Mr. Gompers, on the one hand,
and employers, on the other, may soon have to
cope.
What follows is the platform recently built
at Cleveland by a number of Ohio labor bodies
nationalization of railways, telephones, mer
cantile marine, and mines; universal eight-hour
day, with shorter hours where there is unem
ployment; co-operative management of indus
try by workers and employers; limitation of
profits to 6 per cent, surplus to be added to
wages; police protection for pickets and strik
ers; and municipal ownership of public utilities.
With this movement must be taken the more
agrarian radicalism of the middle west, as rep
resented by the Nonpartisan league. It is the
custom of politicians to sneer at the league.
It managed, nevertheless, to carry a referendum
recently in North Dakota putting into operation
a very considerable measure of state socialism,
including the establishment of state grain elevators,-
a state bank, and official state news
papers in each county. The referendum went
through despite the fact that the founder of the
Nonpartisan league has just been convicted of
disloyalty during the war. '
Politicians may sneer at it as but' another
example of ill-balanced western radicalism, like
the Canadian grain growers' movement, or in
this country the old populist and greenbacker
parties. But, together with the movement for
a labor party, with which, incidentally', it would
like to combine, and even with the socialist
party, sadly battered as that has been by bol
shevism, pro-Germanism, and other un-American
influences-, its success tends to show that
there is enough of what may be called lawful
radicalism loose in the land to explain the fear
of employers that, even if bolshevism is checked,
labor may be tempted to use the impending
scarcity of the commodity which it sejls more
ruthlessly than the wisdom of leaders like Mr.
Gompers would have it do.

The report that an Aberdeen child had be

Not Playing Fair.
Glenwood Springs, Colo., Sept 11.
To the Editor of The Bee: 7he
president's use of the word "quit
ters" with reference to differing
senators will have as much to do
with the defeat of his peace plan
as it stands as any other statements
made by any leader of any affilia
tion. Senator Hitchcock, who pleaded
with the president "with tears in his
eyes," to use his -own expression,
not to enter the war arena, was not
accorded this vituperative title
then, yet he calls these senators, as
does the president, "standpatters,"
who "stood pat with the president
for no further delay In declaring
war, because, forsooth, they "stand
pat" with their conscience and con
scientious duties and a reasonable
delay in the present crisis. Will any
open-minded citizen believe that
Lodffe, Johnson, Borah, Poindexter,
Harding, and the like, not to speak
of the differing democratic senators,
are bartering their country's welfare
and position, to spite or discredit
the president, to enhance their own
political fortunes, to do otherwise
than give their souls (their lives nor
the president's are theirs to give
in this cause, nor to trifle with, even
in speeech), best inspirations and
thought for their country? Need
they, of the party that received the
confidence of the people last No
vember, "stand pat," "quit," or have
"narrow minds" to gain a selfish
point, when they and their party
are in control?
Can it be conceived for a moment
that Senator Lodge, whose brave
and lamented son-in-law (Congress
man Gardner) gave up his life, not
in speech, but in the war camps,
through disease, after having re
signed from congress to serve his
country, can it be conceived Senator
Lodge would favor a peace treaty
or league of his own making In part
that would, as the president and
Hitchcock argue, make for more
wars, to lose more of the precious
blood of his kinsmen? No one
doubts the president means well in
theory, means well by his country
in this work from his light and
standpoint, but he asks too much
that his countrymen shall accept
blindly his judgment and his only,
that his is the only treaty, that he
be the only judge in a matter that
he should gladly welcome discussion
on, discussion patriotic, discussion
sound, discussion open and varied, as
the people demand; enlightenment
from every side, and not only from
the side of those who framed the
document, that had to be changed
once when it was similarly declared
sound, and if he erred then, why
can he be fec!ared immune from
error now?
He misleads himself, he misleads
the public, when he declares from
Washington or from his traveling
points that the people want what he
advocates and nothing else and
that applause gained in delivering
sound American phrases shall be
construed as proving his case on
important points on which audi
ences are silent.' Who wouldn't
want to hear him speak? Who
wouldn't attend a meeting at which
his esteemed wife, the first lady in
the land, is present; out of courtesy,
out of desire to hear and learn if
possible, out of curiosity, as with
some?
No, the "game" is not being
played fairly when the influence of
a great, position is used to affect
public topinion, by decrying and
casting reflections upon the many
honored names of men, who have
grown gray and old in service to
their country in war and peace, and
who have, most of them, been hon
ored with re-election because of
such service as has merited the ap
proval of their fellow citizcis, who
need better, more logical, more
poiseful arguments than the presi
dent is now making, before they
will consider that their services are
no longer of value to them and the
country. j, M-

all ha could do to hold on. Peggy
and Billy, who thought the Turtle
was the mermaid transformed into a
reptile, stood on th rocks power
less to aid.
"Swim back to the Island," shout
ed Billy, who quickly saw that in
the water all the advantage was
with , the turtle.
Balky Sam acted at ones on Bil
ly's advice, while the turtle dragged
back on him, he swam forward with
all his might. Billy helped by strip
ping off his waist and throwing out
one end as a rope. Balky Sam
caught this end in his teeth and
Peggy and Billy pulled at the other
end. Thus the turtle was dragged
out upon the rocks.
With his feet once upon solid
ground. Balky Sam knew just what
to do. ' He hunched up his hind
legs, and then wham! He kicked
out with all his might. The turtle,
grimly hanging on to Balky Sam's
tail, was right in line with that
powerful kick. Crack! Balky Sam's
heels landed full on the turtle's
bottom shell, splitting it in two and
jarring the reptile, so it let go of
Balky Sam's tail. Then Balky Sam
lashed out with a second kick, send
ing the turtle flying into the lake,
where it sank beneath the surface.
Peggy and Billy let out a yell of
glee when Balky Sam's first kick
gave the turtle a sudden stomach
ache. Then they doubled up with
laughter as the second kick hurled
the painfully surprised reptile back
into the water. And they were so
busy laughing that they didn't no
tice what had happened to the
Prince of Dollars until a sweet but
frightened voice suddenly called to
them from the lake.
"The prince! The prince! What
has happened to the prince?"
They looked up quickly, and
there, only a few feet away, was the
mermaid swimming swiftly toward
them. And the prince he wasn't
in sight.
"Hee-haw! The prince fell off
when I kicked the turtle," brayed
Balky Sam.
"And he struck on the rocks un
der the water and hurt his head,"
hooted Judge Owl, who all during
this time had been hovering in the
air above the rocky isle.
"He must be down there deep,
deep," shouted Billy, looking over
the rocky' isle.
"I'll get him," cried the mermaid.
She raised her hands, then turned
over in a quick dive. As she went
under the lower part of her body
flashed into view. It was the tail
of a fish.
"Oh! Oh! The mermaid has gone
after him. She will carry him away
to the dark, dark depths," moaned
Peggy.
But just then the waters seemed
to boil, and up came the mermaid.
One hand clutched the prince by
the hair. He was unconscious, and
there was a red cut on his forehead
where he had struck the rocks.
"Help me quick! We must get
the prince ashore to save his life,"
cried the mermaid. ,

When you buy tires do you say to your dealer, "Give me
a tire?" No you ask for a certain make, one that you
know will stand up and give you good mileage. Yet a tire
only goes on the outside where you can see what it is doing.
How much more important it is to be careful about the
oil that goes into the very vitals of your motor?
You will play safe if you use MONOGRAM, for it is
recommended by most automobile builders and it will give
you good mileage, too.
