Speedy and certain punishment of crime through the regular operation of the courts. 3. Pitiless publicity and condemnation of inefficiency, lawlessness and vcorup tion in office. 4. Frank recognition and commendation of honest and efficient public service. 3. Inculcation of Americanism as the true basis of good citizenship. Coroner's juries still hand in queer verdicts.

It might not be out of order for the fittt Plsnniner Nimmiiiinn t wive thia matter a little attention. The president has recovered sufficiently to receive a tetter from the democratic senate floor leader on the prospects for the treaty. We hope it gets nearer the facts in the case than his pub lished utterances, ' Feeding and Saving Europe Tm. .net hfaflrinnintr tn realize what ft tremendous work for the salvation of civiliza tion was done in Europe by -Herbert Hopver and his organization, and especially by such men as Edward M. Flesh, treasurer of the United States Grain corporation, whose return to his St. Louis home has just been celebrated by the St. Louis Grain dub and the St. Louis Millers' club. The great quantities of grain and other food which were taken to Europe and were distributed by Mr. Flesh and others in every country suffering for food, from Holland to Turkey and Arentenia. saved millions of lives, More persons would have died from starvation and an unknown number did die in that way than were killed or wounded in the war. had not the vision, the organizing ability and the executive activity of Americans taken to them, the food which meant life. i ,. . But it was not starvation alone from which Europe was saved by distribution of American food m a systematic and large way. It was saved from anarchy, from infinitely worse chaos than now exists or has existed. Not only was Europe saved, but America was saved also, for with chaos and bloody revolution con vulsing Europe we could not have escaped. W are not escaping, at it is, our share of the much tniMer unheaval and anirit of revolutionary de struction which pervades the world. Thankful ought we to be that it was not permitted to be ' come worse. St. Louis did many things duf rv ing the war which kept this city in the front " rank of achievement, such as the largest volun-,, teer enlistment in both the navy and marine corps, leadership in Liberty loans, going over he top in the Red Crss and War Service drives; but it has no more cause for pride over . those things than it has that it contributed such a man as Mr. Flesh to this great work of ' saving -he world from bloody anarchy.-t-St Louis Globe-Democrat. , GET BEHIND AK-SAR-BEN. . The Bee once more takes pleasure in com mending the purchase of stock in the Ak-Sar-Ben exposition enterprise. We have several times given reasons why this particular ven ture should be made a success beyond any equivocation or doubt. It means the extension of a great public undertaking for the good of Omaha. In twenty-five years Omaha business men have spent in round figures something like $2,0P0,00Q on Ak-Sar-Ben. This sum has come from membership fees, subscriptions, carnival receipts and various sources. It hat all gone to the support of the institution, whose service has been incalculable, and whose permanency was long ago established. Now It is proposed to lift the institution to higher plane, where it may expand its usefulness by adding a great exposition to the annual' fall festivities. That Omaha men of means should support such an undertaking does not require argument It is to the interest of the community, and that of the country served by Omaha; it means more business for the future, just as Ak-Sar-Ben has stimulated and encouraged business activity in the past. A long list of good reasons for sup porting Ak-Sar-Ben in this new departure might be arrayed, and none against it. Push the drive, and make it a winner) When Faith Was Lost In the course of a long and labored sermon to Henry Cabot Lodge on the subject of the Shantung amendment, which was voted down, the esteemed World-Herald says: He has proposed to upset the movement for a League of Nations rather than have ef fective the clause in the covenant of the league which provides that Japan shall return the sovereignty of Shantung to China within a period of ten years. Where do you get that? The covenant of the league as contained in the treaty contains no such clause. The nearest approach to such a thing is contained in Article XX, which pro vides for the abrogation of understandings not consistent with the covenant If the section of the treaty awarding Shantung to Japan is in consistent with the covenant, why is it made a part of the same compact? Article X pledges league members to respect existing territorial rights of each other. The "lease" by which Germany held Kiaochau and other territory in Shantung runs for ninety nine yeart'from March 6, 1898, and therefore has seventy-eight to live, Under the treaty of Versailles "Germany renounces all her rights, titles, and privileges" flowing from this lease "in favor of Japan," and the covenant of the League of Nations confirms Japan in possession of and succession to this German "leasehold" wrested from China under duress, without any assurance other than the promise of the Japa nese diplomats that it will ever be returned to China. As a matter of fact, no student of Japanese history and policy deludes himself with any idea that Japan will restore, the Jost province to China. For i is a los province now, and the United States is made a party to the loot ing. If any faith were preserved in this mat ter, it was when the republican senators voted against the section of the treaty that permits the wrong. Whatever of faith was lost went when the president of the United States disre garded the principle he hadid down, an,d gave his assent at Paris to the perpetuation of a grave injustice. No amount of sophistry or Vague and general special pleading can cover up this ugly truth. . Socialism and the Trade Commission. , Senator Watson's charges that the Federal Trade commission has been dominated by so cialist influence is most startling. That a body of such importance, With functions so vital to the life and growth of the business of the coun try, should in the slightest degree be tainted with politics, is alarming, and that it should be brought even remotely under the control of any group seeking partisan advantage is abhorrent to its purpose. Socialism has expanded slowly- enough in America, for the reason that in a general sense it has little or no application to our affairs. Of recent years a considerable cult has sprung up, not closely allied with the Marxian, nor out lined with especial definition, and all the more dangerous because of its vagueness, which has sought to deal with some of the great economic questions through experimentation along lines that are purely theoretical and the working out of which require conditions nof at present at tainable. i Generally some gredt business or industry, developed through many years of patient effort and wise management, is selected for the labora tory purpose, and must undergo excisions, in incisions, injections, subjections, and innumer able 'tests to determine if the conclusions reached in some esoteric circle, where specula tive philosophy takes the place of sound reason ing, are workable. Such a trial will cost the investigators little, only their time and words; it may be the ruin of the business, but that is of"secondary importance to the reformers, who seek to anticipate the result of evolutionary de velopment by some hothouse method of forcing effects. Senator Watson has pointed out how the Federal Trade commission has been brought under the spell of a group of this sort. It is the spirit that has been manifest throughout the course of the most remarkable administration of public affairs the United States has ever sur vived. That the business fabric of the country has survived is because of Its sturdy quality. That it can dq so indefinitely is impossible. Progress, to which all are looking, does not lie in the way pointed by the socialists. Certain members of the Ministerial associa tion have put into a resolution the falsehoods about The Bee which they have been spread ing from their pulpits, but this is not the first time preachers of the type have resoluted against this paper for being independent and fearless in expression of opinion. The infer ence to be drawn front their denunciation is that they read The Bee regularly and not the other Omaha papers, which have not only se yerely criticized the police department from time to time, but went the limit in "playinj up the assault that lfd to the recent riot and then justifying the lynching, for otherwise these would have shared the attention accorded to us. Our guess is, however, that the preachers' ani mus against The Bee alone comes less from a desire to shield the fall-down of the police than from the resentment of the profiteers, the labor crushers and rent-gougers, who divide with the contribution box and who have not been able to chloroform The Bee as they have the other apea. - - -- Spilling the Beans , From the Chicago Tribune. We certainly owe the Hon, John Sharp Williams, member of the United States senate from Mississippi, something. Just what we do not know. .Probable a bean, a white enameled navy bean, suitably set in white gold, symbol of the ability of the Hon. Mr. Williams to spill the beans. As , a spiller Mr. Williams would not be overworked by all the crop which could be put in sacks in a year. His candor hit the complex of our present national' life and, behold, it was all as clear as mud. , We discover, as Mr. ' Williams wildly ad dresses the senate, a Southern-American in the course of a debate as to whether Japan should have a part of China, damning' Irish-Americans who had been writing him to the effect that England should not hold Ireland under the yoke and using as the start of his plenteous words a resolution from the Confederate Vet erans' association applauding the anti-American covenant of the league of nations and de manding that the United States, which they had fought to dissolve, accept this covenant which might more effectually dissolve it than anything they had been able to accomplish. Then we discover Irish-Americans in the senate eager to bite chunks out of the southern American and the Hon. Senator Phelan endeav oring to remind the Hon. Mr. Williams of his Welsh ancestry by telling him that the gates of the Dublin race course were locked between races to keep "Welshers" from escaping. All this did not restore Shantung to the Chi nese, that issue being the then prevailing issue before the American senate, but it ought to have caused the Statue pf Liberty to try to shake the shimmy. We thank the Hon. Mr. Williams in the first place for amusement. We thank him for get ting over on the republican side before he began his now celebrated speech. That put him out of the immediate reach of his startled demo cratic colleagues who saw the whole Irish vote going blooie for 1920, It gave us the picture of Senator Hitchcock, as appalled as a frightened vestryman, trying to stalk and shush Mr. Williams and finding Mr. Williams as shushable as a wild ass in an al falfa field. - y We thank Mr. Williams for some serious thoughts. Here was a Southern-American, as hyphenate as the hyphen can make a diversion of nationalism, damning the Irish who have fought for freedom and who did help conquer the south, damning them because they did have something to do with the suppression of slavery in this land, demanding in the name of the men who fought to divide the union and hold on to slavery that the union, which was preserved in spite of them, be subordinated to an interna tional council which could override the Amer ican constitution, supporting the provision which makes Chinese the virtual slaves of the Japanese, damning the men who want liberty for the Irish, and doing it all in the name of altruism and Americanism, These are getting to be some United States, in which every cause has an orator except the American cause, in which every flag has a cqn gressional defender except the American flag, and every nation a propagandist except the American nation. We demand not six but a hundred votes in the assembly of the league of nations, one for each of the states and the "t est for the remain der of the world which we represent to better purpose than we do our own nation. What, returning to amusement, must make Mr, Hitchcock and his fellow statesmen of Jef ferson persuasion mad enough to eat nails is the thought that the fight was in the interest of the Japanese, who could not deliver a town ward to the democratic party, and the talk was against the Irish, who may take one or two away. Roosevelt He was found faithful over a few things and he was made ruler over many; he cut his own trail clean and straight and millions followed him toward the light. He was frail; he made himself a tower of strength. He was timid; he made himself a lion of courage. He was a dreamer; he became one of the great doers of all time, Men put their trust in him; women found a champion in him; kings stood in awe of him, but children made him their playmate. He broke a nation's slumber with his cry, and it rose up. He touched the eyes of blind men with a flame that gave them vision. Souls be came swords through him; swords became ser vants of God. He was loyal to his country and he exacted loyalty; he loved many lands, but he loved his own land best He was terrible in battle, but tender to the weak; joyous and tireless, being free from self pity; clean with a cleanness that cleansed the air like a gale. His courtesy knew no wealth, no class; his friend ship, no creed or color or race. His , courage stood every onslaught bf savage beast and ruth less man. of loneliness, of victory, of defeat. His mind was eager, his heart was true, his body and spirit, defiant of obstacles, ready to meet what might come. He- fought injustice and tyranny; bore sorrow gallantly; loved all nature, bleak spaces and hardy companions, hazardous adventure and the zest of battle. Wherever he went he. carried his own pack; and in the uttermost parts of the earth he kept his conscience for his guide. Hermann Hage dorn, jr, Barring Undesirables Warnings that should be heeded were given by Secretary of State Lansing when he ap peared before the senate committee on foreign relations to urge a continuance of wartime reg ulation and control of passports for those who seek admission to the United States. From the reports in his office he has much informa tion on that subject. He says there are thou sands of undesirable foreigners clamoring at the consulates all over Europe for passports that will permit them to come here. Among the number are many who would come for the sole, purpose of spreading propaganda of bol shevism and other organizations that seek the overthrow of orderly government. Large num bers of these undesirables would be given help by foreign governments if it becomes possible to send them elsewhere. To admit them is to invite trouble for the country. They are pro ducers only of discord and disorder. They cannot come now. Secretary Lansing's plan is to keep the bars up. It appeals to common sense and national safety. It is not political, but patriotic. Ohio State Journal. 1 TUDAV The Day We Celebrate. A. J. Love, president of the Love-Haskell company, bora 1864. - Earl H.

Your name will not be printed. Let The Bee Advise You. Examination of Jurors. h. 1. I recently wa sued and carried Insurance. The Judge who heard the case made the attorneys on the other side ask the jury whether they were stockholders In the insurance company. The pur nose was evidently to prejudice the jury. The Jury brought in a ver dict in excess of the amount of in surance that I carried. It seems to me that.it was an Injustice and mis trial, although my attorneys state that under the laws of this state the attorneys have the right to ask the Jury such questions. I would be pleased if you would throw any light upon this subject and advise me whether that is the law of this state or not. , Answer Our supreme ' court in the case of Egger vs. Curtiss, Towle and Payne Co., 88, Nebr., X8, held: "Where a defendant in a personal in jury action is indemnified by an employer's casualty insurance com pany, it is proper for plaintiff's counsel 10 snow sucn ract when lm panelling a jury, and to inquire of each juror upon his voir dire if he is a stockholder or agent, or in any manner interested in sucn com pany.'5 Misrepresentations. C. H. F. About two weeks ago I entered into a contract to trade my farm for some land in an adjoining state. The person who made the trade misrepresented to ma the land for which I am expected to trade. In fact after I had examined the land I found that it was almost worthless, whereas it was repre sented to ' be valuable agricultural land and improved. Having known the agent for many years I relied upon his statement. Can they com pel- me to go on and make the trade? t Answer Where an executory con tract for the purchase or exchange or real property at a distance is made, and one of the parties makes ana tne other relies unon a detailed description of the property disposed of, which the seller guarantees, ma terial misrepresentations of facts af fecting the value are sufficient to warrant a court of equity to set aside a contract in a suit of the party deceived. Exemptions. W. L. I work here in Omaha, but my family is in Council Bluffs. My salary was garnisheed. Am I en titled to $500 exemptions? Answer You are not. In order to entitle a judgment debtor to the benefit Of the SHOO nnmntlnn nf personal property provided for in section on 01 ine coae, it must ap pear that he is a resident of this state, the head nf n famllv anA that he has no lands, town lots or houses subject to exemption as a homestead under the' laws of this state. The 1500 exemption is in lieu of the homestead, and nonresidents of the state are not entitled to this ex emption. liability of Hospital. J. G. Can I sue a hospital run solely for charity and not for profit for the negligence . of one of its nurses. I was paying $35 a week at the time I was injured, and not a charity patient Answer The hospital is not liable. Sale of Stock. G. C. T. Is it necessary for me to secure a permit to sell 250 shares of stock that I own In a local com pany here, 6r do I first have to make an application to the State Railway commission or the Trade and Com merce commission? Answer If you sell the stock yourself, personally, or if some one sells it for you and you do not pay more than per cent commission, it is not necessary to get a permit. The State Railway commission no longer has Jurisdiction over the blue sky department. Allowance for Children. H. B. S. You should apply to the court for an increased allowance for the support of the children and no doubt the court will grant you an additional amount as conditions have changed since the deecree was ren dered. There is no way the court can compel the father to take the custody of the children. In fact, I doubt f you would want that done.

By ADEL1A BELLE BEARD. r A' good belt axe, - or tomahawk, will do most of the work of the or dinary heavy axe and does not re quire as much strength to handle. You can cut down fairly good sized trees, chop logs, whittle out and drive down tent pegs, lop off branches, and split nre wood with it. . Try chopping logs before you at tempt to fell a tree. Clear away all vines and underbrush within reach of your moving axe; it may catch on them and cause a serious accident; then stand over the log and, swing ing your axe from right to left make a long cut on the side away from you not on top diagonally across the grain of the wood. (Fig. 1.) If this does not reach far enough, try again, then chop on the pase of the chip to cut it entirely off. Do not hurry. Take deliberate aim and strike a sure, unwavering blow. Don't try for too deep cuts; that will wedge your axe and means hard work. Make the notch, or "kerf," wide like Fig. 2 and when it reaches half way through, go around the log and chop the other side until the second "kerf" is cut fi 1 y I11 ""ST TREE ItJO li 1 I MIX SHOULD .PC A ' 'aill SlENPCT.

Fig. 3) and another on the opposite side a little higher up (B. Fig. 3), leaving a thin wall between. When warned by a slight movement at the top of the tree and the sound of cracking wood, step quickly to one side, never in front or behind. Otherwise the. tree will fall on you. or, the trunk shooting bapkward, you may be felled as well as the tree. Stand at one side and, unharmed, watch it fall. It is un sportsmanlike as well as uncom fortable to get hurt in the woods. (Next week, read about the plants that have artillery of their own.)

It came from a building nearby. Often in the Great North Woods the Indian boy had heard the old women of his people- singing to the papooses in the evening, or the medicine men beating the hide : drums for the dances of the young braves. But lie had never heard such music as this, Unconsciously he climbed the great stone steps and glided in through the big, open door, He found a little room with another big door beyond; he opened it, and saw before bint a wide path with wooden benches on each side and many peo ple in the benches. At the end of the path stood a tall man in black behind a big, polished brown stump. Hunting Eye walked down and sat on one of the benches. After a long time the people began to leave The tall man in black came to Hunting Eye. "Why do you come to church, my boy?" he asked. "What is church?" "Your people worship the great Spirit and do as He says. The medicine men talk to him and re ceive his messages. They give these messages to all the people of the tribe. Our Great Spirit also makes rules for His worship. These rules are written down. Men called preachers like the medicine men of your people exlain the rules and try to get the people to live up to them. The people worshiping our Great Spirit are divided into groups calkd congregations. The building in which a congregation meets is called a church. The whole body of persons worshiping our Great Spirit is called the Church." "Is the Church a part pf the Gov ernment?" "No, they are sepirate. The church usually urges the people to obey the laws. It often advises as to what laws shall beade. But it does not really make or enforce the laws. Most of the men who run the Government belong to the f Church so that it has a good deal to say as to how things are run," As Hunting; Eye left the church he had a new respect foy the Great Spirit of tKe white men who war worshiped so grandly. QUESTIONS. 1. How does the church - help enforce the laws? 2. How does the church help make the laws? 3. Give an example of a law which was made largely through! the work of the church.
