The World Language
i
; When questioned -in the French chamber as
to the official language in the eace conference
Premier Clemenceau said: "It it not my fault
if two-thirds ot the earth's, population speak
English " The proportion named is larger than
that generally accepted, but it is not going too
far to say that the English tongue has beepme
definitely paramount in the affairs of the world.,
- It has grown up from and out of other leading
languages; it is the speech of the wealthiest and
most powerful nations. Add to such a founda-
' tion the copious flexibility of English, its posi
tion everywhere on the front line of advancing
civilization and in literature and the reasons for
its leadership are clear. One significant feature
in Germany's push for dominion -was to school
every German child in English. This was with
i the expectation that English-speaking peoples
would concede Germany's primacy, Or go into
partnership with it in the general readjustment.
That dream of empire has faded. It was at
best an insane delusion, and ' yet for a time t
j calamitous affliction beyond precedent.
N - But there are some large gains,, regardless of
. anjr that may be stipulated ro treaty. Mili
tarism, a world menace, has ,br?tv smashed.
. The policy of, frightful force will, nof be at-
1 tempted again. Moral influences are promoted

ALBERT OF BELGIUM.
Wfcen New York sent up its mighty cheer
of welcome to Albert of Belgium, It did more
than honor the ruler of friendly nation. It
paid e tribute 'to a man. King Albert is the
one xuler of a nation who went ito the war at
the start and stayed with It to the finish. He
shared every dinger, every hardship, every
privation of the private soldier. "My skin it
worth no more than yours," he retorted one
day when some expostulated with him because
he had exposed himself to danger. If he came
through the dreadful experience unscathed, it
was chance tnd not by design, "nor was It for
lack of adventure. Hit life in America prior
to hit succession to the crown, no doubt, has
given him a view of democracy not possible to
the monarehs trained in Europe solely, and
who know of our life only by report Albert
had studied it first hand, had lived the life of
the man who hat his own way 'to make, and
knowt for himself what the others' have only
been told. This knowledge sustained him in
the trenches, and in the darkest moments of
his country's trial supposed hit courageous be
lief in the ultimate victory for the people. Bel
gians have little to dread from monarch who
hat been thus tried -and proved. ' '

To the Letter Writers.
As a natural result of the mob outbreak,
The Bee is in receipt of s small avalanche of
letters, some anonymous and others subscribed
with signatures, expressing all sorts of views
upon the frightful occurrence and the moral to
be drawn. Many 'glorify the riot . and the
lynching as the vindication of the unpunished
violation of women, others condemn it in un
measured terms as a revival of savagery and
barbarism. " Many berate the police for in
competency in failing to punish lawbreakers
and inefficiency for helplessly surrendering to
the mob instead of forestalling it. Others seek
to excuse the fall-down of the police by ac
cusing and abusing The Bee for exposing po
lice defects and 'excesses. Still others moralize
nn the Ixwles snirit of the time, on t . " W.
W.'ism, on. bolshevism, on race natred, on
human sinfulness, and its retribution. Obviously
it is impossible to give the space to print all
these communications even werethey suitable
for publication. Too many of them plainly
show evidence of being written in fervor, if
not rancor, or under the obsession of the mo
ment, r . .. 1 ":. i
We want our readers to write to us upon
just such topics, as through their letters we
keep in touch with the current of popular
thought, and we do not want them td feel that
our inability to devote space to them or to
acknowledge them individually is- due to lack
pf appreciation of those that find fault at well
as of those that praise.
Voting on the Treaty.
Votes in the senate " by which the Fall
amendments to the Versailles treaty were re
jected are not conclusive as to the final fate
of that document It is shown that a majority
of the senators are not ' inclined to ' question
certain of the minor points on which differ
ence might arise. These deal with the restora
tion of order in Europe, and the adjustment of
boundary lines, and to this the .United 'States
is in a large sense in duty bound. The votes
also Indicate that, should the issue be finally
raised, enough to reject the treaty in ita en
tirety can be mustered. At no time has it been
expected that such an event will 6ccuK
Senator Smith of Georgia provides the real
explanation of the day's proceedings in the
senate, by offering a set ofcompromise reser
vations, intended to cover all the points raised
by critics, and with a hope to unite the several
groups .in action to dispose of the treaty. This
was forecasted several days ago, when it was
made clear that the Georgian was not favorable
to accepting the treaty as it was presented by
the president. ,
Republicans who . voted against the Fall
amendments are generally on record as favor
ing some modifications in text and in the
covenant. The record made on Thursday may
c6nsole the , administration followers, but
analysis of it will not give them great en
couragement It should properly be consid
ered the clearing away of minor matters, lead
ing up to the greater test that will come when
Shantung, Article X, andvother really vital
points are brought on for determination.
Their Kite Coming Down.
Events in Worth Dakota seem to signify
that the Utopia planned by the Nonpartisan
League is slow in development. As usual in
such cases, the first weakness is shown in the
financial element of the structure. Examina
tion of the affairs of the bank at Fargo, through
which the League has done its business, and
which has just been closed by the state bank
ing board, shows signs of the same laxity in
business methods that have appeared in the
propaganda of the organization. Promises have
been dealt with on the basis -of performance,
postdated checks accepted as collateral for
loans, and generally the business of providing
funds for the League's activities has been man
aged in a way that now threatens ruin. Farm
ers and others who 'are inclined to join the
Nonpartisan league or any other group that
promises to produce something for nothing
should reflect that finally everything must be
settled for, and it generally is the membership
that foots the bill in the end.
' Free Speech in Oklahoma.
Governor Robertson of Oklahoma endorses
the action of the mob at Admore, where United
States Senator Reed of Missouri was pelted
by eggs when he undertook to make a speech.
The governor justifies this action by asserting
that free speech "does not give any person the
right to villify the president and drag his name
into the mire." A noble sentiment, but it not
the law sufficiently potent in Oklahoma to
protect the president's good name? Is any dig
nity added to patriotism by the lawless actions
of unruly citizens? Governor Robertson is un
doubtedly a notable exponent of the democracy
he professes and practices, but his views as to
thev rights of citizens, their limitations and
observation are peculiar, to put it evir to
mildly. Question now is, What will Oklahoma
do to Senator Gore, who is also opposed to the
president'! plan for. League of Nations?
Emma Goldman . will not be deported im
mediately, orders from Washington having held
up proceedings in New York. She may yet get
a service stripe and bonus. "

Hang Onto Your Bonds
Richard Spillsns fat Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Hold on to your liberty bonds 1 - -
All liberty bonds are telling too low. The
government expenditures are decreasing gradu
ally. The more tbey decrease the more bonds
will be bought by the government for retire
ment If conditions permit, the government
will bny at much . aa $500,000,000 of the
bonds a year. . ; :
It It not unlikely, in fact, it ia probable,
that at times there will be developments in the
market which wilt find reflection ih' a decline
in the quoted price of the bonds, but it is aa
aure aa anything can be on earth that these
toft tpott will be temporary only and that
steadily and turely the tendency will be to
higher and higher levels until all the issues sell
well above par. .
The more the government buys the smaller
becomes the amount in the public possession.
It will be years before this buying hat a pro
nounced effect, for the amount outatanding ia
colossal, but it is declining.
From a speculative and , investment view
point liberty bonds offer a magnificent oppor
tunity to the public y. The interest return is
good. The market value of the bond is certain
to increase. Within two or three years it is
probable that every .issue will be at par. Thin
the question will be as to how high they will
go.' Some of them should sell at 110 or more
within 10 years.
Think of thatl
To give' an idea to you of what an advance
there has been in all the bonds thus far from
the lowest price reached, the following table
is printed:

Beware of . the sharper who has a "good
thing" which will "make you rich" and which
he offers to you at a bargain and for which, if
you have not ready cash, he will accept liberty
bonds. The only thing in which you will be
made rich, if you do as he suggests, is in ex
perience. Those who have "good things" are
not scouring the country to give them to
strangers.
Hold on to, your liberty bonds.
They are the best' security in the world.
' They are increasing in value and will con
tinue to advance. They not only will command
par, but go "way above par.' .,, , "V
They are on their way up.
The Lincoln Spirit
While opponents of the League of Nations
are accusing Great Britain of all sorts of selfish
schemes and declaring the league plan to be
merely an aid to England to help her keep a
grip upon a large portion of the world's surface,
the people of England are giving evidence of
their genuine democracy by honoring the one
great American who in the world's thought the
most typifies it. Two statues of Abraham Lin
coln were made in competition for erection in
London, one by Saint Gaudens and the other
by George Gray Barnard. -The committee se
lected the work of Saint Gaudens, but later
Charles P. Taft offered the Barnard statue to
the city of Manchester and it vas accepted.
September 15yjt was unveiled and the address
of presentation was made by Alton B. Parker.
It means much in the relations of these two
great English-speaking nations, now, and
probably for a long time to come, the moral as
well as the physical leaders of the world, that
the people' of England should understand and
honor such a man as Abraham Lincoln. If the
ideals for which Lincoln stood and labored-and
sacrificed all his life can become the ideals of
Great Britain as well as of the United States,
how can there ever be such lack of sympathetic
feeling as would make war possible between
them or would make their action in the League
of Nations divergent on great principles? How
can they fail to impress those principles upon
the rest of mankind?
A Lincoln world would be a world of peace
and justice, of kindly consideration by the
strong of the rights and the needs of the weak.
It would be a world "of help to suppressed and
oppressed peoples to secure a higher measure of
self-government,' even complete independence
of outside dictation, machinery for Which is
also supplied by the league. We would be in
far better business seeking to promote such a
unity of feeling and influence for the benefit
of all mankind, including ourselves, than in op
posing it and trying to "go it alone" in a spirit
of national selfishness and contempt for the
needs and miseries of the rest of the world.
St Louis Globe-Democrat
Gambling on Government l
As a result of the (teel strike, insurance
companies report a big increase in applications,
especially risks due 'to riot and commotion.
The -underwriters are betting freely at the usu
al odds upon government, just as property
owners are refusing to take any chances in
that direction. We see the same thing in New
York, where, in view of numerous bond thefts,
surety companies are betting as never before
upon the honesty of employes and the activity
of the police, the policy-holders taking the op
posite position.
' The basis upon which risks amounting to
millions of dollars in the aggregate are thus
taken at comparatively cheap rates is to some
extent faith in government and faith in the
honesty of trusted individuals who are selected
with care, but in the main reflects confidence in
the people and in the average man. Most
strikers do not approve of riot, arson and pil
lage, and most men charged with valuables
do not yield to temptation.
Severe as are the losses that frequently
must be made good, proof that men as a rule
can be depended upon not to become rioters
or even thieves is found in the prosperity of
the companies that gamble upon humanity as
welll as government New York World.
Fact Versus Platitudes.
Omaha, Oct I. To the Editor et
The Bee: Please be so kind as to
print In your pesple's column the
following article that testifies -the
sentiment of nearly every one' to
whom I have spoken concerning the
recent riot I
The fracture of etvil laws, the de
viation from the usual channels of
Justice, seem to be of more concern
by far to many self-appointed
spokesmen of Omaha than tthe
black .deed that fomented the
tumult i
The people of Omaha, or of any
other American city, are not so
blind to essential legal procedure
that they need platitudes handed
them in double doses like we have
been getting since Sunday. . Nor
are they so blind to common crime
that they can sit idly by and read
one assault oat after another and
never read of a single substantial
sentence for the dirty crimes
' .A peaceful community like Omaha
Is aroused to auch exhibition of
anger ' very seldom and that
"seldom" provea ita love of law and
order. ,
Senator Williams of Mississippi,
and he Is sopposed to be a man of
proper legal discrimination, told in
the senate the other day that he
would throw a criminal like Brown
to the first mob that came along.
And that senator represents more
than- the anarchist element of
Mississippi.
, Our laws are human Institutions,'
made for the Interest and guidance
of human welfare and action. Built
and perfected upon thousands of
years or numan experience. Hu
manity as a whole therefore has
passed Its usual good Judgment as
favorable to our present laws. The
majority is the final arbiter, and to
the majority belongs the self-same
invested right to change "or alter at
any .time the laws they themselves
have made.
The thing to do now Is te forget
the riot. - Omaha cltlsens know
when to stop there's no need of
admonishing editorials. True, there
may be a feverish few who have
some rankle -left In them, but they
don't matter.
Our beautiful court house has
been ruined. We regret It. But we
get some condonement out of the
tropical aspect when we consider
the vengeance reeked upon one who
destroyed a far ; more beautiful
temple, namely, the temple of a hu
man soul, the body of an innocent
girl. J. J. CLARKE,

The making of steel was known
to the ancient ' Egyptians and
Assyrians.
The United States now produces
more than one-halt of all the steel
made.
The first recorded discovery of
Iron In America was In North Caro
lina In 1585.
. The first "attempt to manufacture
Iron in America was made in Vir
ginia in 1619.
The hot blast process in iron man
ufacture v was Introduced in the
United States in the early thirties.
The direct process of making steel
by Immersing malleable Iron In a
bath of cast Iron was discovered, by
Reaumur in 1722.
The steel works at Jollet, 111.,
were the first in the United States
to roll steel rail direct without re
heating, from" the ingot.
The first screat entire steel bridge
In the world was that built by Gen.
William Sooy Smith across the Mis
souri river at Glasgow. Mo.
A Under favorably conditions the
steel mills of the United States are
capable of aa aggregate production
of 50,000,000 gross tons a year.
The first successful furnace In
smelting iron ore with anthracite
coal in the United States was put
into operation at Maucb Chunk, Pa.,
In 1838.
The first notable strike in the
American Iron and steel Industry oc
curred in Pittsburgh in 1850,. when
the workers employed In the mills
In that city and its vicinity went on
strike because of a reduction in
wases.
The great strike in the Carnegie
steel mills at Homestead in 1892,
one of the bitterest labor conflicts
in the history of American Industry,
lasted five months, involved 10,000
workers, and resulted in a wage loss
of over $2,000,000.
The first steel rails made In the
United States were produced by
Zoheth S. Durfee at Wyandotte,
Mich., In 1865. . Two year later the
production of rails on a commercial
scale was begun at a Bessemer steel
plant in Troy, N. T., and at the Cam
bria iron works in Johnstown, Pa.
In the early sixties the steel In
dustry, was revolutionized by the in
ventions of Henry Bessemer, whose
process reduced the cost of produc
tion more than 500 t.er cent Long
before Bessemer's time the idea of
converting cast iron into cast steel
had engaged the attention of many
brilliant men, but it 'had been dis
missed as Impracticable. Bessemer's
idea was to force a blast of cold air
through the molten metal until It
-was sufficiently decarbonized sto be
come steel. Before that process was
suggested the decarbonlzatlon of
Iron could be effected only by the
tedious, v difficult and unhealthful
process of puddling, which consist
ed in turning and kneading great
molten masses at the end of long
rods until every part was exposed
to the air. "

Ireland and the League.
Ireland would have a direct rep
resentative In the assembly of the
Leage of Nations like Canada and
Australia if the old home rule pro
gram for which John Redmond
fought so many years had been car
ried into effect. If Ireland should
now get a dominion status like Can
ada's, its direct representation in the
assembly would be assured. There
never was in history such a forum
for suppressed nationalities to be
heard in as the assembly of - the
proposed League of Nations. Once
there they could plead their own
cause before the world. Is it really
to Ireland's advantage to wreck the
league? Springfield Republican.

says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Suddenly the electric light went
out and the lady quickly and noise
lessly drew back.
An instant later there was the
smack of a compound kiss. As the
electric lights went up each man
was seen to be smiling complals
tntly. "I thought I beard a kiss, said
the lady," but . nobody kissed me."
Then the men suddenly glared at
each other and flushed and looked
painfully sheepish.

upon the ground, then give a leap

It looked as If he were playing soma

Peggy watched him In wonder.
"What are you doing, Billy?" she
Anally asked.
. "Catching grasshoppers!" answer
ed Billy. . .
"Are they hard to catch?"
"Geewhlllikers, not There are
thousands and thousands of them In
this field. I never saw so many.
Come and see!"
Peggy ran out from the woods,
and the moment she put her foot In
the stubble field she heard a funny
rustling and scraping. At the same
time grasshoppers rose all around
her and whirred this way and that.
There were big grasshoppers and lit
tle grasshoppers, spry grasshoppers
and lazy grasshoppers, covering the
field so thickly that Peggy could
scarcely step without treading upon
them.
"Where did they all come from?"
she cried to Billy, skipping back
nimbly to the shelter of the, woods.
"Nobody knows. Farmer Dalton
says the dry weather brings them,
and that if they are not stopped
at once they will ruin his whole corn

but It seems as if the more I catch
the more there are to catch.
"I know a way to get rid of them.

made a trumpet of her hands and

door to his home. His body quickly
followed.
"Hoo! Hoo! What's the matter?
MR. PAY-SHIG-AH-DEEK.
When He Goes to Polls to Vote He
Is Mr. Sarett.
Pay-shig--ah-deek, that's his
name, and he's a Chicago boy born
on the West Side. He was standing In
the Hotel LaSalle the other day, Pay-shlg-ah-deek
was, having a talk with
Opie Reed and other Chautauqua
performers. And this was the way he
explained It: '
"Yes, your Information Is correct
My name is Pay-shig-ah-deek. That
is my aboriginal and primitive Amer
ican name. My modern name, the
one I vote by as an American citizen
Is Lew Sarett I am an associate in
English at the University of Illinois.
Pay-shig-ah-deek means Lone Cari
bou. I lived from three to six
months every year for nine years
with the Chippewa Indians up
around Grand Marajs, Minn., near
the Canadian border. I don't know
why, but they said they liked me,
the Chippewas did. Two weeks ago a
pagan medicine man, an old Cana
dian Chippewa named Azh-ah-waince,
meaning 'other side,' asked
me to a feast of friends at Grand
Marais.
"My wife, who used to live in
Austin, 111., and our,4-year-old boy,
were invited. Ten Indians danced
around us. My old friends, Ash-ah-walnce,
stooped and touched the
earth and then touched my forehead
and pronounced ' my name hence
forth to-be Pay-shig-ah-deek. My
wife Is Ahmeek-quay, or beaver
woman. Our boy Is Mah-eehgans, or
little wolf.
"Indians up In that country are
keeping up their old custom of giv
ing tribal names to people they like."

Keep thou the faith, America! Thy heart.
So great, so tender, throbs with love for

Who longing for the truth, have turned to

AH, fall them not, these souls who trust

The tollers who make far thy fertile fields.
And those who turn thy million tireless

Show them the upward path, lead on and

To greater freedom both of mind and aoul,
To larger faith, to juatioe, and to Ood.

under a hasel bush. It was General

the children scarcely knew nim.,.
And. looking around among the
trees and shrubbery. Peggy ana
Billy presently made out many more
of their bird friends, all grown enor
mously fat, all sound asleep, and all
groaning in their sleep. , as though,
they had the nightmare. t
"Wake up! Wake up!" - cried
Peggy. "We must save Farmer Dal

"Oh-h-h!".groaned General Swal
low as the birds awakened .- and
blinked at Peggy. "We have met
the grasshoppers in battle and we
have eaten and eaten and eaten of
them until we can eat no more. We
have reached our limit We- are

"Alo. whn nnw will save Farmer
