Immigration Commissioner General Camin
etti eiTectually spikes with facts and figures the
reports that 1,500,000 immigrants are about to
leave the country, carrying $5,000,000,000 in
hard-earned money. Such rumors are, as he
says, "hysteria." There is no truth whatever
in them.
What are the facts? Only 102,513 foreigners
have left the country since the armistice, and
many-of them will "hot stay in half-ruined Eu
rope. In the five years since June 30, 1914, in-,
chiding only one month of prewar conditions,
1,172,678 immigrants arrived in the country,
against 618,223 departures, a surplus of 554,456
remaining here. There was an excess of arri
vals in every month of 1917 except November,
when many departures were naturally timed for
reaching home before Christmas. The present
excess of emigration is in part also seasonal.
' ; ' More striking still is the fact that in' the five
years ending June 30, 1913, 1,363,000 alien emi
grants left. the country, more than double the
number in the last five years. War conditions
have affected travel in both directions. With
justice, then, does Mr. Cominetti conclude that
"the exodus is perfectly natural, and, as usual in
normal times, many will return."
This is still the Land of Promise. Immigra
continues the normal' race movement.

SIX TO ONE."
Has the president been entirely candid with
the public? At Los Angeles last Saturday he
declared that all the apprehension over the dis
parity in voting power between the United
States and the British empire is "nonsense."
At Oakland on Thursday he declared that the
critics of his treaty are seeking to mislead the
public '
In explaining the 6-to-l voting arrangement,
he said it applies only to the assembly, and that
that body is merely a debating society, without
power, as all settlements must be in the coun
cil. A little examination of the league charter
will cast some doubt as to the perfect frank
ness of the president on this point In para
graph 9 of Article XV of the covenant it is pro
vided: The council may in any case under this ar
ticle refer the dispute to the assembly. The
dispute shall be so referred at the request of
either party to the dispute, provided that such
request be made within fourteen days after'
the submission of the dispute to the council.
After the dispute (which is in reality a dis
agreement between any of the nations members
of the league) has been sent to the assembly,
it is handled under paragraph 10 of Article XV,
which provides
all the provisions of this article Article XVII
and of Article XII relating" to the action and
powers of the council shall apply to the action
and powers of the assembly, provided that a
report made by the assembly, if concurred in
by the representatives- of those members of
the league represented on the council and of
a majority of the other members of the
league, exclusive in. each case of the repre
sentatives of the parties to the dispute, shall
have the same forgs as a report by the coun
cil concurred in by all the members thereof
other than the representatives of one or more
of the parties to the dispute.
In other words, if the United States is in
volved in a dispute that reaches the council,
and the other side asks that it be referred to
the assembly, it must go there for settlement,
and we will have no vote. Possibly the
danger in this is more apparent than
real, but was the president trying to mislead
his hearers and the people of his country when
he told them the assembly is a debating society
and without power to make settlements of any
kind? It is possible for any nation to remove
a case from the council to the assembly on re
quest, and in the assembly the United States
will have exactly the same voting power as the
smallest nation a member of the league and no
more, while the British empire has six times as
many as any.
To meet another of the president's conten
tions on this point: If it makes no difference
how many votes a member has, what is the ob
jection to allowing the United States as many
as Great Britain?
Clemenceau Versus Wilson.
An interesting divergence of viewpoint has
come up between Premier Clemenceau of
France and President Wilson. The great
French statesman gives it as his opinion that
failure to ratify the treaty by the United States
will not destroy the League of Nations; it will
go on without us. Mr. Wilson at Cheyenne in
sists that if the Lodge reservation to Article X,
which affirms the power on congress only to
declare war on behalf of the United States, were
adopted, he would "be obliged as chief execu
tive to regard it as a rejection of the treaty."
The president has conveniently left open a
door, standing in front of it, through which he
may emerge on the safe side in event of the
form of the reservation being changed just
enough to "save the face" of the "swallow-it-whole"
advocates. Premier Clemenceau, how
ever, says very plainly that the league will not
give France the protection required for some
years, and therefore reliance is placed on the
tripartite agreement between the Unitedtates,
England and France. Even if the United
States does at this time decline to enter the
league, it may hobble along without us, and
even if we do, France has greater confidence in
the treaties than in the covenant. The president
is not at the moment playing his game as
adroitly as he did a little while back. .
Production the Only Remedy,
Wheat Administrator Barnes emphasizes
the message sent the world from every man who
seitiously thinks and who has soberly studied
the present day problems. Production is the
only remedy for the distress. Not merely tc
replace wealth destroyed by the war, but to
meet actual requirements of the day. Men
must be fed, clothed, housed, now as hereto
fore, in spite of the greatly increased out
put, of which Mr. Barnes makes due account,
the demand is for more. Creation for use is the
end of effort, and idleness is as much of a
menace as was ' the war while it raged. , The
world . needs everything now that everybody
can produce, even at the utmost of energetic
endeavor. The more that is brought forth, the
more there will be to divide; if nothing is pro
duced, there is no division, except as mankind
may share in suffering. If the cost of living
is to be lowered, it will only be because demand
has been met equally by supply.
Between Governor and Prosecutor.
Governor McKelvie, acting on a report from
the attorney general, gives it as his opinion
that if the city prosecutor of Omaha knows of a
violation of the liquor laws, or any other
breach of the peace and dignity of the state of
Nebraska coming within the purview of the
local police force, it is his duty to proceed in
court against the offender without calling on
the governor's office for help. The city prose
cutor says the governor's message is "non
sensical piffle," and that it does not deserve a
reply. Back of this stands the ugly fact that
the prosecutor has been derelict in his duty in
at least one instance. No particular importance
would have attached to the case, had it not
been mads a pretext for an attack on one of the
municipal judges, to whom the city official
sought to pass the buck. As the matter stands,
the governor has the better of the argument.
Other courts are open to the prosecutor if he
wants to push the case against the original of
fender. Some folks are beginning to wonder
why he does not

Subordinating Work
From the Wall Street JournaL
v There is a condition existing in Great Brit
ain today which has a lesson for ourselves
because it parallels a like condition here.
This is the disposition to treat work, a man's
calling, avocation, employment, trade, as a
secondary thing in his life, entirely subordi
nate to his right to the pursuit of happiness
and, at best, a necessary evil. Any honest
work is service; and-the successful worker,
whose priceless results to himself and soci
ety are by no means measurable in dollars,
knows that the only happiness in life with
out alloy is creative effort "The reward is
in the race we run, not in the. prize." ;
Our entire system of education, missing
this spiritual truth, encourages a misconcep
tion which has in it the seeds 'of anarchy. In
the-4rindergarten we teach the child that learn
ing requires ho effort. We sugar the pill for
him until our teachers come to believe that it
is the sugar that is important and not the medi
cine. Pursuing this policy of lying through the
schools and through many universities, the fin
ished product is turned loose upon the world
lacking that single essential without which all
so-called education is futile the discipline of
learning.
Every employer whose business it is to deal
with recruits from the high schools and col
leges knows, to his cost, that given even more
1 than avera'ge intelligence, at least two years
must be given to an education in concentrated
effort, a training in intelligent application,
which the schoolboy or the college graduate
should have received in return for what his
parents invested in his education. The lad
knows the names of all the base ball players,
and his mathematics are suprisingly good in
the batting averages. But he does not un
derstand the application of arithmetic, gram
mar and history to the business of life. These
graduates start their education again in the
world's elementary school and we may be
thankful that some of them make good.
All the agitation for impossibly short hours,
all the unionist teaching of the restriction of
production under the mistaken idea that a
greater number of people can be employed ip
futilities, is the result of an educational sys
tem which has entirely overlooked the spir
itual quality of work. It is the chief end in
life, the earned happiness which grants rest
as a reward and adds zest to the wholesome
pleasure. The world is suffering today from a
vicious restriction of production, mental, moral
and physical, which finds its root in the kinder
garten. Every athlete knows that there can be no
muscle without resistance. As Milton says,
"The immortal race is to be run, not without
dust and heat." "The fugitive and cloistered
virtue" of which he speaks in the same fine
passage of the Areopagitica is the merest
shirking. False as the teachings of ignorant
and often sincere labor leaders have been,
those who are entrusted with the teaching of
our children have been yet more remiss. They
at least should have known better.
Albert of the Belgians
Ever since those cruel, fateful days through
which Belgium passed in 1914 there has been
something about King Albert that has endeared
him peculiarly to the American people. He
touches their imaginations. He stirs agreeably
tb,eir sporting blood. He wins their unreserved
admiration. We venture to say he is in this
country the most popular European monarch
and one of the best liked of men.
A new light has just been shed on the secret
of1 his personal strength. He refused to board
the George Washington with Queen Elizabeth
and Crown Prince Leopold, bound for this
country, unless he was assured that the pres
ence of the royal family on the ship would not
result in delaying the homeward voyage of
American service men who longed for a sight
of their native land once more.
We may be sure that "the doughboys" think
of Albert, king of the Belgians, as "a regular
fellow." Better than any otller words, per
haps, these three express the feeling of the
American people generally for the man who is
so soon to be their honored guest. He , is a
human being. He has the true instincts of
democracy. He knows how to put away his
own comfort to enhance the comfort of others.
That was one of the fine things he did through
out the war. His people knew it and appre
ciated it, and when Albert returned to Brussels
after the Hun had vanished they acclaimed
him with an affection rarely disclosed by a
multitude of admirers.
King Albert is going to have a good time
in this country or we miss our guess. Host
and guest are mutually attuned for it. Albert
wishes to thank us .for what we did for his
country and for Europe. He will tell us how
kindly he thinks of us as nationals and as
friends in time of need. ' He will refrain from
such references to our tardiness in getting into
the war as would serve to make us still more
sensitive of a sensitive enough spot. It .will be
the highest compliment .we can pay him if we
can all but forget that he is a king and think
of him as a man. Minneapolis Tribune.
Neglected Anniversary
No movement has ever been made in Amer
ica toward celebrating July 30 as a day of na
tional importance, and the realization that it
marked this year the 300th anniversary of the
beginning of self-government in the present
United States attracted little attention. Yet
such, historically, is the fact It was on July
30, 1619, in a little church in which the settlers
had erected at Jamestown, Va., that the House
of Burgesses held its first meeting and the
members of the first elected and representative
government in the New World began the busi
ness of legislation. ,
The settlement of the colony had occurred
12 years earlier, and in 1619 there were about
1,000 settlers scattered in the plantations , they
had begun to cultivate. During the preceding
year it had been decided in England that the
government should consist of two bodies, the
governor and council, selected in England, and
council of state and house of burgesses elected
in the colony. Twenty-two burgesses were
elected; and the .general assembly thus formed
became the prototype of all the state govern
ments that were later established. Christian

When Do Valera Come.
Omaha, Sept. 24. To the Editor
of The Bee: To avoid confusion
among: the) numerous Irish societies
in their avocation of politics, pa
triotism and finance, I denire to state
the purpose of the one perfected re
cently at the Fontenelle hotel. Its
object is to promote Ireland's claim
for freedom Intelligently by co-operating:
with Mayor Ed P. Smith in
giving: the president of the Irish re
public a municipal and magnificent
reception.
President de Valera's mission Is
not for attending pink teas nor ap
pearing at beauty picture contests.
To auote a DaSsasre in his letter ac
cepting Mayor Smith's invitation fi
We have a message for the people
of America, and we, are particularly
anxious to deliver that message un
der the auspices of the chief ex
ecutive of the different cities."
The members of any society,
whatever the phraseology of its
name may be, that will try to
camouflage his noble mission by
mixing It with American politics, are
greater enemies of Ireland than
"Bloody" Balfour or Carson.
So that President de Valera's visit
to Omaha would have wide and suit
able publicity it was the sense of
the meeting at the Fontenelle hotel
to arrange for him the unveiling of
General John O'Neill's monument,
because at the performance of that
ceremony the G. A. R., the Spanish
American War Veterans and the
American Legion would participate.
JERRY HOWARD.
Plea For the Fireman.
Omaha, Neb., Sept. 21, 1919. To
the Kditor of The Bee: I as a citizen
of this great city, must declare my
self in favor of . our Fire Laddies,
and feel as though they are under
paid. I have put myself to expense
and some lost time, inquiring about
the working conditions, expenses and
so forth of our firemen. I also find
that these boys are a good trust
worthy lot, and as a rule come from
the best families, that help make
our city a success. But, now we
must ask ourselves, why does the
mayor interfere with their demand
for more pay? Is not Mr. Zimman
capable of handling his department
in a more satisfactory manner than
the mayor? Is $125 per month
enough pay at the present day for
any class of labor? I, say,
no. Here I shall list a few articles,
that your life and home protectors
must have and pay for, so that you
will not be misled to believe, they are
furnished them
Fire helmet, $7; hat device. .75;
winter cap, S3. 25; summer cap,
$2.25; winter uniform, $28; summer
uniform, khahl, $21; summer blue,
$11; rubber coat. $8; pair rubber
boots, $8; pair turn-out pants, $7.50.
Total, $96.75.
Now let us remember, these
clothes must be replaced when torn
or worn out, and we all know that
rubber goods don't last long. Next,
the mayor reflects on the working
and sleeping condition&at the engine
house. A fireman must not go to
bed before 10 p. m., but during the
night, one man is kept on the ap
paratus floor, doing night watch,
this being done by three men, who
change every two hours and 40
minutes. But why worry about the
sleep a fireman gets, while on night
duty, has not the mayor been asleep
ever since he has been in office?
Have you ever had your sleep dis
turbed at the wee-hours of a cold
morning, by the blast or shriek of
the fire whistle? Did you .realize as
the apparatus went by your door,
that it was 15 or 20 degrees belpw
zero? Do you remember how
you got back under your ' warm
quilts, with your teeth rattling?
ojo you rememDer, mat par
ticular night you said, "poor
devils, out again, this is the fourth
or fifth time they have been out
tonight?" Can you believe it, that
these men, were out of bed, dressed
and leaving the quarters in 24 sec
onds? If not, visit a fire house and
see i for yourself. So, . my - dear
reader, if you wish a position with
the fire department remember it
takes a man to do it, one who won't
flinch, one who can eat smoke and
lots of it, in other words, a man who
is not less than 99 per cent perfect.
So, I ask again, is this man not
vorthv of a living wage?

OMAHA.
Ex-Soldier in the League.
Council Bluffs, Sept. 21, To the
Editor of The Bee: In Sunday's
edition of The Bee, I see an editor
ial regarding what Mr. Morgenthau
has to say in regard to the League
of Nations. I am afraid it will take
more of an orator than M. Morgen
thau to get some of, us boys fever
ishly excited over such a thing as
the League of Nations, especially
when the most of us think that that
it Is merely a little scheme on the
part of France and England and the
profiteers of the United States to
plunge us Into another war in case
they need us to protect the big man's
interest in these countries on the
other side of the Atlantic, besides
we cannot figure why democracy
should not start at home, as that was
presumably what we fought the war
for, but it seems that we gained it
for everyonei except ourselves,
especially so in the case of myself
and a friend of mine here in Omaha.
I have at this time 11 months pay
still coming from the government,
which I have been trying to get for
the past two months. My friend has
26 months coming. Of course this
isn't full time, for that period as
some casual pay wsls drawn out dur
ing that, amounting to about $7.50 a
month. Now why shouldn't they
pay that, as it is surely a just claim ?
I put in nearly 21 months on the
other side. Now why shouldn't
thtv nav this to us as both of our
discharges show that neither had a
court martial against us, and our
character as excellent. After they
pay me what I have coming I might
be able to work up a little excite-

knees in front of her.
"Fair Anita, will you be my
bride? I place my heart and my
fortune at your feet."
"Your fortune! Alas! Alas! That
is what keeps us apart," cried the
mermaid. "My pride will not let
me marry you, for you are rich and
I am poor."
The prince looked very crestfallen
and the mermaid looked very sad.
But Peggy was beginning to grow
indignant.
"I think you are very silly," she
said severely to Anita. "You love
the prince and he loves you, and
yet you let a few dollars stand be
tween you."
"Alas, it is my pride," sighed the
mermaid, but it was a very ob
stinate sigh, and it was plain to be
seen that she had no intention of
giving in. Then Peggy suddenly
thought of a way to bring her to
her senses.
"I am proud, too, Prince of Dol
lars," she said. "And I would be
still more; proud to be your bride.
And if you'll wait just a few years
for me to grow up, I'll take you,
money and alf, for after we are
married what belongs to you will
belong to me and I will be the same
as thee."
- The mermaid sat up very stright
and looked at Peggy with flash
ing eyes.
"He will not wait," she declared.
"I'll marry him myself in spite of
my pride rather than have any one
else get him. And besides what
you -say is true after we are mar
ried what belongs to him will be
long to me, and I will be the same
as he."
That was just what Peggy want
ed her to say and just what the
prince wanted her to say, for he
clasped her close to him, but over
her shoulder he gave Peggy a

HARLE, HAAS COMPANY,
Council Bluffs, la.
at Lonesome Beart and so the wlnlc
went all around among the animal
and blrda until it came to Judge
Owl, and Judge Owl, because he
could not pass it on to any one
else, winked both his own eyea at
the moon and. went fast to sleep.
And every one felt very, very triad
because they had helped make the
prince's1 love story come to a happy
ending.
There was Just one person who
wasn't happy. That was Black
smith Joe, who was still up in the
tree and afraid to come down be
cause or the animals.
"Hey, there," he shouted. '"If
you are the Prince of Dollars, will
you give me a job?"
"I surely will," said the prince,
"and you can dance at my wed
ding." Then he turned to the mer
maid. "And you, Anita,; will you
promise never to turn mermaid
again?" " , y .
Anita laughed merrily.
"I have fooled you all," ehe
cried. "I never was a really truly
mermaid. I made that fish tail out
of cloth and I wore it so I could
sing to my prince from the rocks
without any one knowing who I
was." And all the birds and ani
mals joined in Anita's laugh.
"My, I'm glad Lonesome Bear
didn't eat you for a fish," giggled
Peggy.
.And then the moon went behind ,
a cloud and the wind came up and
Peggy felt herself flying through the "
woods, flying, flying until she was
back in her hammock where she
had been when the adventure be
gan. "I am glad that' mermaid mys
tery is all cleared up," she said.
"Now I wonder when the wedding
will be."

Quick, Safe Way
to Remove Hairs
(Toilet Talks)
Keep a little delatone powder on
your dressing table and when ugly,
hairy growths appear, make a paste
with a little of the powder and some
water, apply and let remain on the
hairy surface for 2 or 3 minutes,
then rub off, wash the skin and the
hairs have vanished. This treatment
is quite harmless and rarely more,
than one application is required, but
to-avoid disappointment care should
be used to buy the real delatone.
