WHAT DOES OMAHA THINK OF THAT!
Otr esteemed eontemporary,"the Wori4
Herald, has suddenly discovered that 'Omaha
is getting some very undesirable advertising
these days as a result of the fall-down of our
police department which made pospible the
court house burning and negro lynching a week
ago last Sunday. In well-grounded horror' H
declares that "some of the published accounts
of what happened In Omah, and what Omaha
people think about it, are to outrageously false
that they would warrant a judgment for libel in
any court" By way of sustaining evidence it
cites an account published -in the Los Angeles
Times, ascribed-to 'Geneva M. Marsh, whoever
she may be," and labeled "Special Corre
spondence beginning:
The women of Omaha do not regret the
lynching of the negro, Will Brown, with the
attendant rioting and destruction of the
Douglas county court house. They have no
sympathy for Mayor Smith, who has been in
a serious condition as the result of a string
ing up by the mob. The women feel that the
events of last Sunday mean that in the
future their lives and honor will be safer, and
so justify the lawlessness."
The World-Herald quotes further from this
"lurid account of the riot and conditions pre
ceding and following it," with special reference
to such statements as that "a negro convicted
of a brutal assault on a young girl was given a
jail sentence of sixty days," and that "even
greater difficulty will be encountered if officials
carry out their threat of convicting riot par
ticipants of murder" as "apt to lead both to
assaults, on the negro population an4 city offi
cials. "What does Omaha think of that?" shrieks
the World-Herald. "In, behalf o! Omaha and
the women of Omaha, the World-Herald enters
denial to these falsehoods."
And after the usual homily of words and
diatribes against "the exaggerated imaginings
of special correspondents, who have unjustly
increased Omaha's shame," proclaims that "the
biggest single thing which Omaha, can do. to
restore its standing is to punish those who
shamed it."
Now we can nor identify "Geneva M.
Marsh," except possibly by circumstantial evi
dence, but we, too, have noted some outrageous
outpourings of very similar character appearing
as "Special Correspondence" in other papers.
Our attention has been particularly drawn to
an account dated Monday following the riot
and published in the Boston Herald the next
Tuesday under tht big-letter caption, "Women
pf Omaha G'ory in Part They Took in Lynch
)ng of Negre-r-Worklng Girls Boast of Being
in Mob Victim of Assault Also Rejoices." This
article proceeds after the first paragraph with
these words; j
" "Business mejt in the main deprecate the
act of the mob, and are taking steps to see
that it does not occur again. But tht man n
the street, the ordinary clerk and the ordinary
workingman, is today simply smiling all over
tt the result of hit work last night
"And the women pf the town have taken
similar position, Omaha women are glorying
in the fact that the negro, Will Brown, who
assaulted a 19-yearrold white girl, and who
was living with another white woman, has
been hinged and pwned. Some women there
are in the finer classes pf houses who are
hiding, their heads in shame over the deed of
last night. But the working women in town,
the stenographers, the office clerks, the de
partment store clerks, are pleased at the work
of the mob. Many girls in their teens today,
in the stores and the offices, laughed with
the men and bragged about being in the mob
from its formation in the afternoon until
Will Brown's head and arms and legs had
been burned off and the torso kicked around
the streets like a huge foot ball.
A photograph made of the burning Of the s
negre?s body in front of the United State
court house shows a young girl in the front
row with smiling face and dressed as if going
to a party. She is standing within five feet of
the burning negro. Back of the feeling among
the women is the fact that within six weeks
twenty assaults or attempted assaults on
women by negro men have taken place."
This account goes on to quote the assaulted
girl as saying, "I am glad he has been pun
ished, but it was terrible that so many other
men had to suffer," and her mother as exclaim
ing. "I am glad they killed the negro."
Now, the Boston Herald accommodatingly
enables us to identify the source pf its informa
tion by printing an article in question. under the
inscription: "Special Dispatch to the Herald,
by T.tR. Porter," and a cursory examination
of the World-Herald payroll by its frantic editor
would have shown that "T. R, Porter" it a gen
eral utility man on the World-Herald staff, con
ducting a special correspondence bureau with
headquarters in the ' World-Herald editorial
rooms as his main line,
To think that such "outrageously false"
stuff should have been concocted right in the
World-Herald office and regardless of the
shame it might inflict upon Omaha I Then, too,
perhaps, the Omaha correspondent of the Bos
ton Herald might be able to help the World
Herald editor locate "Geneva M, Marsh, who
ever she may be," who has such a fatuitous fac
ulty for duplicating hit very thought and words
and to mete out the punishment deserved by
her.
'What does Omaha think of thatr,
Chasing the Sua Home.
One little point that maybe hat not oc
curred to you in connection with the flight
across the continent is that Lieutenant Maynard
hat a hit of advantage over Captain Smith.
Flying from east to west, Maynard gets an
hour additional sun time each day, while Smith,
covering the ssmt distance on his route, loses
an hour. As tht "control" is from sunrise to
sunset it means the eastbound aviators hsveto
do the distance in just so much less time than
the pnes traveling the other direction as is the
difference between the time in New York and
San Francisco, or three full hours. Undoubt
edly this point is given consideration by the
army men. who habitually take all such things
into calculation. The pilots have been setting
a pace that even Phoebus Apollo might envy,
The heathen god scarcely drove hia chariot
greater distance between the rising and the
going down of the sun than is covered by theie
flying champions.
A former Nebraska minister has confessed
to burglary in Los Angeles. If his seminary
training and pulpit experience gavfc him no bet
ter notion of how to faee life's responsibilities
than to turn thief when he came to want a
term in state prison may complete his education
and make a man of him. V

All Capitalists and All
Laborers
From the Kansas City Star.
The economists, back in the middle of tht
last century, used to set no a figure that they
called the "economic man.r This figure was
the subject of much speculation. They specu
lated on what the economic man would d6 an
der such and such circumstances, and then
drew their laws of political economy from his
actions, i ' ;
The trouble was, human beings refused to
act the way the economists expected' from their
laws, because they were human and not just
a bundle of qualities devoted to getting a liv
ing. . They had other wants besides those con
nected with bread and butter and clothing.
When this fact wai recognized by the econom
ists they got on much better. '
At the industrial conference Washington
they are getting into a confusion! like that of
the old writers on political economy. They
are dividing mankind up into three hard and
fast groups capital, labor and the public. For
some purposes this division has its convenience.
But it is apt to lead to a muddle. ,
The fact is we are all capitalists, wt'tre all
laborer! and we are all the consuming public.
Of course we know this theoretically. We
know that millions of persons own stocks and
bonds in industrial enterprises, and that more
than ?0,000,000 subscribed- for government
bonds during the war, and that all these and
all who carry life insurance or have money in
the savings bank or own their homes are capi
talists. Also we know that the president of a
bank, or the general manager of a railroad,
or the man who works on the paving job is a
laborer. And it is too evident to be mentioned
that even 'Judge .Gary is a consumer, and in
cidentally sits in the conference as a representa
tive of the public.
Where the confusion comes is that each one
of these groups is apt, to bs suspicious of the
other, instead of seeinsr to what extent their
L interests overlap. The fellow who, in hit capae-
r . . j t i i
uy as a consumer, denounce fvcryppay who
sells to him, forgets that in his capacity as a
producer, he himself is trying to sell his labor
or the product of bis labor at whatever the
market will bear. The employer, thinking of
himself in that capacity, may feel aggrieved
at the men working for him for wanting the
highest market rate of wages, while he is try
ing to sell his product on exactly the same
basis.
So the farmer, with his desire set on $3
wheat, looks on the clothing merchant as a
profiteer, and the .clothing merchant thinks the
farmer if trying to rob him in the sale of but
ter and eggs, and so on around the circle.
AH of which leads to a distorted view. Actu
ally we are all pretty much in the same boat.
We sink or swim together. If we recognize
the other fellow's right to a fair return as well
as our own, whether in wages or other form
of profits, and if we do our work as well as
we can, we shall keep prosperously afloat.
It Is unfortunate that the men in charge
of the conference in Washington didn't recog
nize this intermingling of human interests at
the outset,. Instead of making an artificial class
division which tends to arouse antipathies In a
conference that was called specifically to bring
harmony of ideas and make men work together
for the general public good.
The Sugar Situation
Unless continued by a new act of congress
the sugar equalization board i will cease to
function after December 31. Does the near ap
proach of the time when the government will
cease to regulate sugar movements and sugar
prices explain the suddenly evolved scarcity of
this important food commodity? Are powerful
profiteering influences secreting stocks and
laying plans for boosting the already doubled
price of sugar? Has there been sugar hoard
ing upon a large scale based upon the expecta
tion of a big rise in the price after December
31? A million of small hoarders, operating
without collusion, might accomplish the same
result as a thousand sugar profiteers operating
in 100-ton lots.
Something seems to have happened in the
handling of the sugar supply something that
was not reasonably to be expected. For the
reliable information is to the effect that sugar
stocks in practically every sugar producing re?
gion are much larger than last year. The
Cuban crop, as reported, if the largest in nisr
tory and the home yield of the United States
this yea' has been larger than ever before.
Federal agencies began an investigation of
the sugar situation last Friday at Philadelphia,
the largest refining center in the country. And
we have the given-out promise that any dis
covered eases of hoarding "will be vigorously
prosecuted under the Food Act of 1917." But,
in the meantime, and right at present, the
worried housewife is up against a situation
where fruits are ready for the preserving ket
tle and the grocery store around the corner
is either out of sugar or else limiting the sales
to coffee and tea reqqirements.--Baltimore

On Being Right
We are told that this is a government of law,
but if we are not careful we shall find the defi
nition changed to a government of unenforced
law. It is a good deal of that now. There
seems to be in public sentiment a considerable
disregard ef law-and in public authority a great
disinclination to enforce it. In fact men are
apt to hide behind some great truth and make
that the excuse for tramping all over the law.
Much, of that it going on now. Many people
and would-be teachers plant themselves on the
assumption, "I am right," and then go to work
smashing every law that is in the way of their
purpose. The old idea that .the king can do no
wrong Is succeeded by the contention of the so
cial leader, who says he is right, and everybody
else is wrong. The other day we saw the ex
pression of a great industrial leader, which was
"we wil win because we are right Hia claim
ef being right was a mere assumption, and yet
there is to much of that sort of assumption that
the people who express it think there is nobody
right but themselves, which is an idea at once

I she had heard ground out by a pass

one waa dancing to her muaio, keep

Glancing up quickly, she saw a pe
culiar doll-like creature ' bobbing
about on top of the piano. At first
it looked like one of her own doll
family. The clothes were Certainly
from her doll's trunk, but the crea

Its back was turned to hrv but It
wasn't shaped like any of her dolls,
and the eara that stuck from be
neath the toy hat were fussy and
not amootb like doll ears.
Peggy's music ended with e crash.
At that the creature whirled around
and faced her. It waa Rollo, the
wandering monkey, who had helped
I'eggy and Billy get back , Mrs.
Holt's diamond brooch from the
black robber.
''My, what a fright you rave me,"
laughed Peggy.
"And what a frjght you gave me,"
grinned Rollo. "When I heard your
music I thought you were a hand
organ man. I used to be a hand
organ monkey and I didn't like It."
"Where did you get my doll's
dress?", demanded Peggy.
"Where some careless little girl
left it out on the lawn for any one
to pick up," chattered Rollo, wink

"What girl in the tower?" de
manded Peggy, all interest at once.
"Who Is she?"
"I don't know who she is," an
swered Rollo, taking her by the
hand and hopping along toward the
country. "All I know is -that not
far from the borders of Birdland is
a castle on a hill. At one corner of
the castle le a high tower. Away
