Respect for the? law and maintenance of order. 2. Speedy and certain punishment of crime through the regular operation of the - courts. 3. Pitiless publicity and condemnation of inefficiency, lawlessness and corup tion in office. ,. 4. Frank recognition and commendation of honest and efficient public service. 5. Inculcation of Americanism as the true basis of good citizenship. ' The Cornhuskers did a nice comeback. ' The stork is attending to business in Omaha in spite of the landlord. Army aviators have shown the way, now watch the commercial men follow. ; Mediation ir the steel strike would be wel come as a sign of continued industrial activity. The Colorado girl who sent to Nebraska for a millionaire she might love knew where to look for them. Part of Omaha's troubles will go to Lincoln tomorrow. Time may come when they will be settled at home. Another effort may be made to pass a profiteer law for Nebraska. Enforcement of some existing laws might help a little. ' ; Up to now no complaint has been registered against Omaha's landing field for aviators. That is one thing that was done right. Queen Elizabeth wore a one-piece suit when j 1 she went swimming jn the Pacific at Santa Barbara. This ought to confirm the Omaha custom f . It might not be out of place to suggest that the arrest of a few "gentleman burglars" and other flight prowlers would be welcome news to Omahans. ' Prices being paid for well-bred cattle by Nebraska growers support the notion that faith is still strong in the future of the meat and dairy industries. ' Our valued contemporary, the Kansas City Star, is taking a chance by criticising the mayor of the town for his failure to suppress lawless ness, vice and disorder. - ' John Bull smiles with satisfaction over the arrival of a shipload of whisky from the United States, and his grin is not lessened by the sight of the glum faces the boat left behind. Germany is not (to be blockaded yet because "of the activity of von der Goltz, who is twiddling his fingers from his nose at the Allied council. Something may have to be done yet to make that bad boy behave. : ' Haviag gotten the world's base ball cham pionship settled, the country may now turn its attention to a few of its minor problems, such as the cost of living, the industrial situation and next season's crops. If Mr. Wilson could spend six months in Europe without putting the cares of the presi dent on Thomas Riley Marshall, it is conceiv able he can take a rest at home and not bother the great Hoosier statesman. ' - Some service is to be had from the "gov ernor's mansion," for it will provide sleeping quarters for members of the legislature during the extra session that convenes tomorrow. Question is, will the state charge regular hotel rates for the accommodation's? j Unqualified and Effective In their platform declarations the Massachu setts republicans have failed to endorse outright the. program of reservations agreed upon and reported out by the foreign relations committee, presided over by Senator Lodge. Instead, the republicans of the Bay State have declared for reservations that shall be unqualified and effec tive and for early ratification of the treaty. This is interpreted by the administration forces as a rebuke to the Massachusetts senator. Such is pot the case. . ' Mr. Lodge has defined and held to a post- . tion that is certainly as definite as that of Mr. u Hitchcock for the democratic forces. -Mr. Lodge hat done this with all the sincerity of his being and sense of responsibility to the country at his ; command. But what Mr. Lodge seeks is what the Massachusetts republicans have declared , for reservations that shall be unqualified and effective. Mr. Lodge may hold to his owt. pro- .itram to the end and will thereby be giving full proof ol the good conscience of his stand. But ? compromise between the outright reserva tionists and the mild reservationists will doubt ed 1d t0 embody the ist of all that for which Mr. Lodge contends, and be actually un , qualified and effective. r- r The mild reservationists certainly do not want to fall short of that mark. They believe that an interpretive form of -reservations will answer the purpose without necessitating resub mission with its detriment, dangers and ob- , troctions to enterprise. Baltimore American. WHAT OMAHA WANTS. The people of Omaha are not looking to get anybody's "goat." They are not animated by desire for vengeance on any official. What they ask, and have a right to ask, is that the terrible lesson of the riot, with its dreadful conse quences, be not wholly ignored and repetition invited. The public is aware that the police force of Omaha has been misdirected for many months. It has lacked organization and discipline. Un der the lash of fanatical zeal, whatever of energy was displayed was along the single line of pur suit of violators of the law against liquor traffic. Had the efforts at suppression been intelligently exerted, good might have come from it. In stead, the police created a reign of terror by their own lawlessness, and without any appre ciable improvement of the condition they pre tended to remedy. Many grave crimes were committed, some dastardly outrages perpetrated by the police themselves and, with other forms of crime rampant, the feeling of insecurity in person or property spread as the inefficiency of the guard ians of the law became more and more apparent. When the career of the "morals squad" reached its climax in the murder of an unoffending negro bellboy, indignation compelled Superintendent Ringer to abolish his band of terrorists. This admission that the policy being pursued was a mistake could not by itself restore effici ency. Failure to provide proper police protec tion to make the streets sate at night, or to secure homes by day, could not be remedied merely by disbanding the "morals squad." What the people of Omaha want is that in efficiency be removed, that a better way of doing things be set in motion. This cannot be achieved by pretending black is white or calling failure success. Federal Revenue Law Revision. Democrats have commented derisively on the "failure" of the republicans to repeal the ridicul ous so-called "luxury" taxes of the existing revenue law passed by the last democratic con gress. They carefully avoid any presentation of the exact facts. Framed by committees presided over and controlled by democrats, the revenue law lays taxes -on such a wide variety of things that its like was never known in history. It was devised to "make the north pay for the war," in the blunt phrase of Claude E. Kitchin, and some of its provisions, such as the tribute exacted from the baby's "hokey-pokey," show the extremity to which he and his helpers were pushed in order to carry out their laudable pur pose. When Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee began to consider possible amendments to the existing measure, for the purpose of curing some of its most glaring de fects and remedying if possible the burdensome and almost intolerable features that characterize it, the luxury taxes were taken in hand. As soon as it became clear at the Treasury depart ment that the republicans meant business, Sec retary Glass and Commissioner Roper served notice on the committee that no measure to re peal any part of the revenue law could become operative unless it was counter-balanced by an other tax. This is tantamount to warning from the White House that any attempt to cure or alter the Kitchin-Simmons law will encounter executive disapproval. The president insisted that the democrats not only make appropriations but levy taxes for the year following their re tirement from power in congress, and will not permit any interference with that plan. If the absurd luxury taxes are unrepealed, it is because they have the support of the presi dent. Only under extraordinary conditions can a measure be passed over his veto, and it is very certain he will have the full support of his party in congress in his disapproval of any effort of the republicans to amend the existing revenue law. The democrats are responsible for the situation, not the republicans. Good Roads and Empty Pews. An Ohio parson is quoted as expressing a wish that bad weather would spoil the roads, so that his flock would be driven to church in stead of joy-riding. It is easy to see why a man with a machine would prefer a ride in the Octo ber sunshine to listening to a harangue from such a- pulpjt. "The woods were God's first temples," and the, great outdoors still speaks more eloquently in appeal to man's better nature than any mortal tongue. It is inconceivable that the glories of autumn were to be denied to the enjoyment of humanity, and if finite in telligence can devise the happy combination of good roads and comfortable automobiles, one may without irreverence think it part of the Great Creator's plan that they should be used to the utmost, having always in mind the truth that temperance enhances whatever of pleasure indulgence holds. However this may be, the preacher is hopelessly handicapped in the fall, if at no other tinie, when every outdoor prospect pleads to lure man from the pew to the high ways, the forests and the open places. And the one who prays for rainy weather to deprive his fellows of this benison of the Almighty so he can expound his dry and dusty theses should be compelled to live out-of-doors until he gets the right slant on the relations between man and his Maker. ' Law and Credit From the New York Times. Elihu Root and others hardly less dis tinguished think that Charles E. Hughes is wrong in his opinion that congress lacks the power to regulate the earnings of railways in excess of a fixed return from reasonable rates. The basts of their dissenting opinion is that the Cummins proposal does not fix rates for in dividual shipments, or carriers, but for the total service of a group of carriers. That leaves the total earnings of the group open for recon sideration and distribution on the basis of realized results, according to the accuracy of the guess in the tentative schedules. The pro posed Cummins method is recommended as an "absolutely accurate" substitute for the "pro phetic and uncertain" method of enacting pre cise rates in the manner exemplified by the practice of the interstate commerce commission. The shippers' right to have a rate fixed for each shipment by each carrier is said to be a "mere common law right," subject to modification by congress under its right to regulate commerce in any reasonable manner, and any manner is reasonable which is necessary to keep the rail ways in sufficient vigor to enable them to main tain competition among themselves. It is as much the right of doctors of law to disagree as of doctors of medicine. When doctors of the law of such authority disagree, it is the part of prudence to leave the last guess to the supreme court. The disagreement suf fices to make it sure that the constitutional power to enact the Cummins rate law will be unsettled for some years. The .creation of a rate zone of that twilight sort is undesirable, and the more especially so since even the valida tion of the Cummins method would settle only the law, and would leave unsettled the even more peremptory question of the credit of the individual railways if the group rates are ade quate. The necessities of the railways are a matter of today, and should be settled today, as each day's meals must be eaten on the day. The defense of the Cummins plan proposes an interval of hunger to be satisfied by an accumu lation of meals. If the law imposes that upon the railways, there is no method of imposing it upon the money market. That will be decided not by the lawyers or the supreme court, but by the opinions of those who have the resources which the railways need. There is a perfect illustration of that in the working of the federal rate law and the state public utility nickel fare laws. There is no dis pute about the legality of the interstate com merce law, nor about its effect on the credit of the railways. There was no dispute about the state public utility fare laws until their results became manifest. It was put into testimony before the president's commission that "sixty two electric railways in the United States with 5,912 miles of track already were in the hands of receivers; sixty railways with 763 miles of track had been dismantled and junked, and thirty-eight railways had been forced to aban don 257 miles of track." Those facts are the nickel fare laws in many cities. There is need of a similar change 'of sentiment among the federal rate regulators. But the federal rate must be regulated upward if railway credit is to be restored. That result is hopeless of realization by any new method about which lawyers disagree, and investors agree in disapproval. People Are Human, After All There is the "one touch of nature" in the story of the conference in Downing street be tween Premier Lloyd George, Andrew Bonar Law and the representatives of the Railway Men's union. After reaching the amicable com promise in the blessed relief from tension that followed, the premier was inspired to suggest that every one remain to take larder luck, and what sounds very much like a "raid on the pantry" was the sequel to a conference that settled a momentous issue of far-reaching social and 'political implications. Over the mutton and the ale, with private secretaries carving and waiting on the table, the labor leaders and those occupying the seats of the mighty in the cabinet found that the other fellow was not a fire breathing monster with fangs and claws, after all, but a man with the same inheritance of law and language and privilege. How many dis sensions have been thawed and dissipated over a cup of coffee! It is not easy to break bread with a man and go away with the same inveter ate hostility. Most normally constituted per sons find an attitude of bellicose aloofness extremely tiring to maintain. The elementary humanity will break through "these trouble some disguises that we wear." Philadelphia Ledger. Treaty Not to Be Hurried. Action in the senate on Wednesday makes plain that the final vote on the peace treaty is not to come early. It is not alone that Senator Borah objected to voting on the Shantung amendment in the absence of Senator Johnson. Other senators were opposing the move to push the vote because of their desire to speak. No especial harm is expected to result from this, although we have been assured by supporters of the president that any delay to the ratifica tion of the treaty is fatal to its purpose. Ob serving the deliberation which has marked the progress of the French assembly, and the delay in Italy and Japan, it does not strike the aver age man that any especial hurry on part of the United States will be of service. The only one of the "Big Five" to completely ratify the treaty and its League of Nations covenant is Great Britain, to whose interests the agreements made are advantageous. However this may be, it is now plain enough that the United States senate will not act until the contents of the document have been thoroughly gone over. The "All Highest" No information has been given out as to what will be the powers, privileges, and rank of the supreme president of the supreme council of the supreme league of nations when that unique figure appears upon the international scene to uplift and overawe humanity. Mr. Wilson has demonstrated to his own satisfaction that the league of nations is "greater than the senate; greater than the government as great as the cause of mankind." It naturally follows that the supreme presi dent of the league will be greater than the mere head of any single nation, and that, as the embodiment of legal and "moral" powers of a unique sort, he will take precedence in the social world of diplomacy of all presidents and prime ministers, to say nothing of the few emperors and kings who have survived the recent wiping out of royalty. If it should be necessary to find a title for the president of the league corresponding to the "Honorable" or "Right Honorable" of political life, why not borrow the "All Highest" of the Germans, a designation which is not in use any where at present?

To the Editor of The Bee: Please permit me to congratulate you for speaking the plain truth when the New York Evening World asked your opinion in regards to the late rioting in Omaha. I must say you are cer tainly a son of the grand old man, now dead and gone, but whose name will live for a long time to come. He was a man who never failed nor feared to tell the truth when necessary and should have been United States senator. CHRIS LAU1UTSEN. What Makes Trouble. Camp Hill. Ala., Oct. 1. To the Editor of The Bee: Everywhere there is violence. It Is but a short stride from the Boston police strike to the mob at Omaha. The strik ing steel workers are not much bet ter than the mob at Montgomery. Samuel Gompers openly declares that he will not obey the Cummins bill if it becomes a law. The par lor socialist has for years preached sedition, and every sort of revolu tion. We are now reaping trie re sults. This is the time when every man's utterance should be sure, and it should be moderate. Here in the south it is the most trying that I have known in my 22 years residence. Tno much foolish talk has been indulged in, both north and south. At a critical time in the career of Booker Washington, he 6aid to me that his wisest and best friend was the white man at the south. And among these friends, he prayed that he might draw his last breath. Here he died, greatly honored and loved by both races. I came south years ago. I have seen the negro in his upward progress all these years. I have long since come to believe with all my soul that the average white man is just and kind to the average negro. It is little short of an imposition for northern people to come down here and try to organize the negro so that he may get more "rights." In this community I am the only north ern man. I could not ask for kinder neighbors, nor men with a finer sense of justice. There has never been a mob here. There will never be a mob anywhere, if men will speak in moderation, and act with that charity which an honest man must possess. Let us hail no man as leader who preaches hatred and revolution.

Omaha, Oct. 8. To the Editor of The Bee: I am not very clever nor a good writer, as I am too busy working and have been for over 40 years, but I like the News. I read The Bee, too, and the World-Herald, not to say our own good old Pioneer, the best of all of them, begging your pardon. But I absolutely agree with The Bee and thousands more when a minister so far forgts his ministe rial duties to step on that sacred pul p!t and preach such a sermon that will only create harm and discord. Is it any wonder there is doubt about Christianity? Mr. Editor. that doesn't apply to the little church I go to and thousands of other ones. Why don't he get on a platform like any other decent politician if that is the kind of sermon he wants to preach? I wonder if he forgot what the Gentle Nazarene did in the House of God some 1,900 years ago? He would have done the same thing to day. Is it not peculiar that instead of worship and brotherly love, a man of the gospel will so far forget him self, even if he wants to state things about other men? Has it come to this, that ministers have to preach sermons like that from our beloved churches. Respectfully, R. J. Suggested Wasli Day.

OW shall we cross the river?" said Rollo, the monkey, looking at the rippling stream that stretched between them and the great wall that surrounded the tan gled wood where stood the stately castle In the tower of which was imprisoned the beautiful but sad faced maiden. "I will carry you across," de clared Billy, and he led Peggy and the monkey to the bank of the river. There he took off his shoes and stockings and rolled up the legs of his trousers. "Now, climb on my back," he said to Peggy, and she did as he said, riding pick-a-back. Rollo mounted to Peggy's shoulders, hold ing in his arms the rope ladder which Billy had made to scale the walls of the castle. Thus loaded down, Billy stepped out bravely into the water. Swifter and swifter and and deeper and deeper flowed the current, but Billy went slowly and steadily forward, testing the ground at each step, so that he would not step on smooth rocks, nor sink in soft sand. It was deeper than he thought in the center, and the water gurgled around his legs as if seeking to sweep him away, but Billy was sturdy and the weight of Peggy and the monkey held him steady, so on he went to the safety of the shore. Here they faced the great stone wall that surrounded the tangled wood In which stood the castle. It was a very smooth wall with sharp spikes at the top, and it was so high that when Peggy stood on Billy's shoulders and Rollo stood on Peg gy's head he was less than half way up. "I guess we will have to try the gate," said Peggy, but when they looked along the wall to the gate they saw it was guarded by iron bars, and beside it was a watchman sitting in a little house. There was no chance of getting past either gate or watchman. "Ha! I have a plan. I haven't played cowboy for nothing!" ex claimed Billy, and he took from his waist a clothes-line lasso that was fastened there. He whirled the lasso around his head and sent the loop flying upward. It settled over one of the spikes, and Billy pulled it tight. Before Billy or Peggy could say a word, Rollo had grasped the rope and gone scrambling to the top, where he perched, grinning and chattering. Billy tied the rope ladder to the lasso, and Rollo pulled it up, fasten ing it to the spike. Billy climbed DOT PUZZLE 8 12 3, ii 13 14 16 4 .'9 2i 3 22. 13.17 Zo .

Draw from one to two and so on to the end. up the swaying, twisting ladder to see if it was safe, and then Peggy followed. When they reached the top they pulled the ladder up, fast ened it so it could be Jerked free from below, let it down on the other side of the wall and slid to the ground. They pulled th. ladder after them and wer. ready to go on. Now they found themselves In the tangled wood with trees and shrub bery so dense they couldn't possibly force a way to the castle. "Follow me." chattered Rollo, and away he went up among the branches of the trees, swinging from iimb to limb. But Peggy and Billy couldn't follow that way because they were not monkeys. "Rap-a-tap-tap!" sounded a sharp noise, and there was tholr old friend Reddy Woodpecker grinning at them. "Follow me!" said Reddy. and he darted to where a small brook babbled from the tangled wood. The stream was almost hid den in the undergrowth, which clos ed over it like the roof of a tunni.'. but its pebbly bed offered a watery 1 ath through the woods. Billy put Persy on his ,baok and waded cau tiously into the darkness. On and on he went, the tunnel growing darker and darker and the water (Solder and colder until the bushes closed around them so thick ly Usey could go no further. And Billy's feet were right in the chilly spring where the brook had its source. "This way." cried Reddy Wood pecker, darting to one side. They followed, stepping through a leaf curtain into a summer house at tht edge of the castle lawn. Close at hand was the high castle tower in which the beautiful maider was imprisoned. At the foot of tht tower was Rollo, the monkey, wait ing for them. 3'How shall we ever get up there?' whispered Peggy. But Billy saw 1 way. He pulled a fish line from hit pocket and tied one end to Rollo's belt. Then he pointed to a rain water pipe that led down from th roof. In a second Rollo was goln up the pipe as though it had been u tree. W hen he got to the castle roof he le-aped to the window of the tower Instantly there arose loud screamt from within. "Gracious me! He has scared th beautiful girl Into fits!" exclaimed Peggy. "Yes. and she will alarm the whole castle," said Billy. (Tomorrow will be told the itranga itory of the trirl of the tower.)
