"v END OF TREATY FIGHT NEAR. . ; Ratification with definitive reservations or rejection of thfVersailles treaty now impends in the United States senate. The administra tion group admits its inability to carry through its program. Whether it will accept the pro posals of the opposition has not yet been de termined. If the president's bloc, led by Sena tor Hitchcock, stubbornly maintains - its atti tude, the treaty will fail of ratification. r Responsibility for delay is. now placed squarely where it belongs, on the "swallow-it-whole" followers of the present It was made plain even before the document had been for mally presented to the senate that it 'could not be ratified exactly as. it emerged from the con ference. , ! Tne reservations" proposed are vital, to American interests. None of them destroy the League of Nations in form or in principle. Cer tain definitions are to be written, explaining the understanding-on which the United States is willing to enter such a council of nations. These contemplate only the . preservation of rights now accorded this nation, without in fringing on the sovereignty of any other or submitting any to jeopardy in the remotestxde- No patriotic American will be misled by the clatter of the tom-tom pounders, who are trying to give the impression that the under pinning is being removed from beneath the great temple of human liberty. The whole pur pose is to make it more secure. American democracy has been tried in the fire for almost a century and a half, and is not an experiment Its security means more for the world than some newly hatched government, not yet emerged from the shell, and threatened by the hawks of old forms hovering near. 'Surrender by the United States on any vital point is to .subtract from and not to add to the sum total of human freedgm. " - "It is quite likely the president will find his way open to accept reasonable reservations, and that the end of the long fight over the treaty in the senate will come to an end shortly, with patriotism prevailing. x ' Denver is voting on "an elastic 6-cent street car fare," whatever that is. Wonder if it re sembles in any way Omaha's rigid 7-cent tariff? Adjournment of the industrial conference is not necessarily fatal to .its purpose.

One of Omaha's leading business men is celebrating today the forty-fifth anniversary of the establishment of his business here. For forty-five years The Bee has carried his ad vertisement in its columns, announcing his busi ness to the world, and he cheerfully testifies his prosperity may be ascribed to this fact It is not a habit with him, but an investment and a service. ' Forty-five years ago Omafia was a sprawl ing, brawling western town, gripped with the growing pains that presaged its transformation into a city. John G. Saxe had not Jongbefore written the rhyming libel on its streets and rts inhabitants, and the stigma was still accepted as accurate by the unknowing. But in Omaha were those who had faith in the future, Whose hope could look ahead and vision a greatness that has come, and whose end is not yet rmarhmA A tnnn a trim uai Anrnn Wncn wfin started his business life here oA October 23, 1874, with a capital of health, knowledge of his line, energy, industry and $6$. Still actively at the head of the great business which has groirtt up under his care, Mr. Hospe looks over his record with justified pride, and satisfaction. Among other institutions he found when he came to Omaha was The Bee. He inserted his first advertisement in this paper, and has used its columns steadily ever since. The Bee con gratulates him on this anniversary, and trusts it will carry his announcements to the world for many years to corne. As might have been expected, the Federal Trade commission says Senator Watson is em ployed by the packers, but an inquiry will de velop the facts. ' Why should the grain administration dis triminate against the Omaha market? It is bad tnough to have to, buck the other unfair ele ments (competition. Two soldiers, convicted of murder in Texas, ave just had their sentences commuted to im prisonment for life. Which recalls George Harvey's query: "Can you imagine Newton D. Baker signing a death warrant?" ie should 1)e wanted for trial because of crimes igainst civilization, committed during the war. , What was a little thing like deluging a foe with voison gas, compared to the glorious cause of Prussianism? 7' 7- 7' '. f7- - , The Baptist minister who is being held up at Ellis, Island, denied admission to the land of the free and the home of the brave, made the mistake of telling the authorities he was com ing Xo speak in defense of the British empire. .He should have come toplead for Boorioboo laga, or some such undertaking, and he would have been made welcome. Conterhptible Btyffing Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, says there are two courses open for the United States. One is to ratify the covenant of the league of nations as it stands. The other is to "build, build, build the navy," and for the coun try to "pay, pay, pay.". . 7 . . Mr. Daniels bis succeeded again m being contemptible. - He is a pacifist secretary of the navy in an administration which was pacifist when pacifism was the despair of every reason able American. ' . , . He is thean who assured the American people that they did not need to do anything more for their navy at a time when the navy, undermanned, was about to enter the war, He is the man who asserted, during a presi dential campaign, that the navy was sufficient for all purposes when every rational and intel ligent American "knew it was not and this at a time when German militarism and imperialism seemed about to be successful. 7 Now, with German militarism and imperial ism conquered, he tells the people of the United States that they must groan under taxes and keep their ship builders constantly at work on war ships unless they surrender reasonable American precautions in treaty making. This is contemptible bluffing. Mr. Daniels in his lifetime has not seen the world so far away from a world war. It haajust fought one. It will not fight another soon. When the world war was oemg lougni ana when America was being dragged in Mr. Dan iels was silent except when he was reassuring as to the sufficiency of the American navy. ' Now that the world war has been fought and that merely a "piece of international politics is to be imposed upon tne American peopie, air, TinM1 i nnr with alafUITIS. Even Daniels could not be much worse than this. Chicago Tribune. . Industrial Conference Split . Publication of the appeal of the president to rthe industrial conference not to adjourn without agreeing on something emphasizes the impor tance of the proceeding. At present the dele gates arehopelessly deadlocked on the princi ple of collective bargaining.. The capital group absolutely refuses to accepts it, the labor group declines to abandon it, and the public group is ' impotent to settle between them. It is plain, or should . be, that anything leading to indus trial peace must have for its foundation a sub stantial basis o agreement Collective bargaining, that is the making of wage contracts by groups instead of by indi vidual workmen, has much t. recommend it. To 'ultra-conservative capitalists it takes the form of "the closed sHop," or recognition of the union,- against which ythey are unalterably set Several millions of American workers, in all crafts' and callings, are formed into unions and have been accorded more or less of "recogni tion.", It is not probable they will give up the principle, and ihedissolution of the conference without agreement on the point means that the struggle between labor and capital wijf be car ried on, but not as it has been in the past The radical element is making headway among the workers, and once they are convinced that con servative leaders can gain nothing for them, the way is opened for the extremist 7 President Wilson sees this as " plainly as anyone, and through his appeal may be noted a vision of worse disorders yet to come. in the industrial field, if the conference does not pro duce some. result that promises service, and re lief to the working classes. ' 7 "Respect for Law." - An automobile driver, whose recklessness caused an accident in which three women were severely injured and two machines demolished, was brought into an Omaha police court. He was fined $25 for reckless driving, that endan gered several lives; for being intoxicated, he was fined $50; and .as the remains of a bottle of liquor was foundin his machine, he, was fined $100 for "illegal possession." Note the pro gression. A negro woman shot and killed her para mour. ' For her act the defense was offered that he had threatened, to do her injury. They lived within two blocks of the police station to which she might easily have gone to seek protection under the law. Instead, she stepped behind him as he was eating his breakfast, and fired twice into his back. The xoroner's jury exonerated her, and her release from custody was ordered. y What's the use?'. . Strange, isn't ity that haste is no longer necessary in connection with the ratification of the treaty, since the administration" senators know 44iey are defeated? A little while ago it was extremely urgent that the document be ratified immediately or the great heart of the world would break. Praise for the Post 0ice (From the New York Times.) Postmaster General Burleson was not in an apologetic mood when he modestly claimed that his administration of the post office was "mir aculous" for its efficiency. And it must be ad mitted that he did make a case for some sympa thy with the chief official of that department of the government with which the people have most constant and direct relations. It seldom occurs to those who are well served to express their appreciation, whereas those who think they have a grievance are as eloquent on their grievance as the postmaster general is in his defense against his hundred million critics. The point in dispute is why 1here are so many crit ics and so, few admirers of the postal service. As Mr. Burleson says, it is to be expected that letters will sometimes go astray when there is a record of 97,000 misconnections of the rail way mail carriers. It may be admitted at once that the proportion of letters which go wrong is not large compared with the many millions which go right, and that there are worse records in other departments of the government. For example, on the same day with the postmaster general's appreciation of his own efficiency there is published the fact that an express company has received 350,000 claims for losses, has adjusted 200,000, and that the complaints are so numerous that letters often are unanswered. There have been complaints that the postoffice is not prompt in settlement of claims against it, but it has never been said that the postoffice bids claimants take 60 per cent of their claim or wait indefinitely for pay ment in full. The comparsion of one depart ment of the-government with another is odious' to those who want the Government to do everything, because it shines so in comparsion with private administration. But at least the postmaster general can contend that fault does not rest with him alone in matters, of service, ... The trouble with the postoffice is something more and worse than the miscarriage of letters in whatever numbers. It suffers in public esteem because it, claims too much for itself and because it misrepresents others worse than it is misrepresented. Thus a few weeks ago with a flourish Mr. Burleson turned over to the treasury a check for fifteen millions of profit on last year's operations and retained two mil lions for a working balance. Now the post master general reports that he carries 270,000, 000 postal parcels, that he has' turned a loss into a profit, and that he has reduced rates and increased weights. His assistant puts these profits at $10,000,000 a year. On the basis of these profits the postmaster general proposes one-cent postage, while his workers are per haps worse paid than any other government servants. ,For these reasons the postmaster general complains that the attacks on him are unfair," "scurrilous," and the worst Of his critics are the publishers who use the long haul in the mails at a loss to the department, and do not use the short hauls whereby the post office would gain credit and profit Wherefore the postmaster general proposes another revision of rates which will secure for him a profit on all mail carried for publishers as well as others. It was not a publisher who challenged these figures. The president of the association which the postmaster general addressed said that it cost the government four-fifths of a cent to carry letters and- eight cents a pound to carry periodicals. Letters show one-fifth of a cent profit and periodicals seven cents loss. Should 1 the profit be set off against the loss, or should J the profitbe used to raise department wages or; to reduce letter postage? Ur should the zone system be revised upward to cut the loss and silence the critics lest a worse thing should hap pen to them? The answers depend on more information about costs 'and profits than the public has or the post office, either. The ac counts of the post office are kept to show prof its, not losses. When the postal parcel service was started there v was a special stamp, which has been abolished. When letter stamps are put on the freight jitney service which properly belongs, to the express companies, and which the railways are underpaid for carrying, the Costs of the respective services are Jiidden. Ii the post 'office wishes to be excused for its peccadilloes, and to be praised for its greater services, it should begin by ending douttt about its costs and profits. That might be done eith er by keeping accounts as though it were a business concern with a balance sheet and prof it and loss statement; or it might engage some accountants who command public confidence to certify what items, of cost are included in the business from which profits ace claimed. The reduction of the letter rate would make the claim 'of postal profits preposterous, and the losses on the periodical "subsidy" may be charged against the postal parcel profit alleged by the assistant to the postmaster general. The postmaster general ought to carry the letter mails better, but also he ought not to leave some other things undone, if he wishes to be accepted at his own valuation. 7i : Yellow Fever Gone " Yellow fever has been eradicated forever, it is believed by Maj. Gen. William C. Gorgas, former surgeon general of the United States army, who is on his way back from Ecuador, where he has ;been directing the fight against the fever in west coast localities. Eliminating the scourge from the tropical and subtropical regions had been a - baffling fight for scientists up to within the last few years. While the disease has been known and reared since the mid-seventeenth centurv. so recently as 1878 it visited the southern Missis- aijji vjiiicy in cpiucmic lunu ana in inc vicin ity of New Orleans alone there were more than 5,000 deaths. ; The first .victory over the disease was in Cuba soon after United States occupa tion. There the army medical officers-conducted thecampaign and learned that sanita tion was the best preventive. A mosquito was found to be the carrier. From that victary the end of yellow fever could be foreseen. General Gorgas has been working along the same lines in Guayaquil and elsewhere in what were the last strongholds of the disease. It will be a relief especially to white victors to the tropics, who were easy vic tims that the scourge has been removed. Buffalo Express. i i .o n a v The Day We Celebrate.

Omaha, Oct II. To the N Editor of The Bee: Somebody Is a good liar! The Omaha Preachers' as sociation pass resolutions commend ing Dean Ringer "tor his vigorous ana reariess attempt lor the en forcement of law and order" on the night of the riot The rest of us would like the preachers to inform us from what source they draw their deduction, certainly not from eye witnesses, for most if' not all of them, were ousy pounding; their Bi bles during the time the riot was In full swing the biggest part .of which happened Sunday night be tween the hours of 7 and 9 o'clock. I will lay down a big bet that not a single preacner was wtihin a mile of the crowd as a spectator. Exit, therefore, the preachers' opinions. pean Ringer may make a fine Methodist Sunday school teacher, but he's a mighty poor policeman. It's time to get a man who knows the police game from the inside and give him full authority to play it to the limit the preachers' associa tion , notwithstanding. The public owes a great debt of gratitude to The Bee for its fearless presentation of facts, and here's hoping The Bee stands right by its guns until the fight is rougnt to a nnish. - THOMAS BENDER. Tax on Land Value. , Lincoln. Oct. 20. To the Editor of The Bee: Your editorial today on St Louis rent profiteers, advising taxing of the increased rental value of property, is timely. There is no question but that all value of land is due to the influences of other than the .owner himself except as he is one member of the entire commun ity, and, therefore, the taking of this value by the public is only restoring to its creator what rightfully belongs to tne community. So why limit the tax to only "some of this value?" Why not take it all by the passage of the proposed Freedland law, which is as .follows: . "It shall be unlawful for any per son or corporation, other than mu nicipal, to accept money or tribute of any kind for the sale or lease of any land in this state. But this prohibition shall not apply tb im provements thereon. Penalty for the violation hereof shall include the forfeiture of such consideration to the state." This will give all the rental value of land to the consumers, who com prise the entire community, in the form of cheapened prices, through unlimited competition among pro ducers and distributors on freed land without penalizing us producers by excessive taxation as proposed by the single taxers. Only enough tax will then need to be levied to equalize the advantages of one location over another. Even a small tax will suf fice then to Induce all speculators either to improve their property or starve. Tours truly, MAT ROY THOMPSON. ODD AND INTERESTING.

There are a few generSTprinciples of strategy which ought to be known by every foot ball player and es pecially by the quarter-back, who usually handles the team. First,, before the game he should go over the playing field and see if there are any peculiarities which might affect his strategy. This is es pecially necessary if any part of the field is slippery or soft. He should next take into account the position of the sun' and the direction and American Girl strength of the wind, for both of these affect the plays. The wind should be a tremendous factor in strategy' when in possession of the ball, both in the matter of punting and depp or place kicking as well as in forward passing. It is very important that the gen eral realize at all times the position of his team on the field and know what plays to make. He should not work his team into the side line un necessarily and thereby limit his strategy. It is needless to say that he should make every effort to keep the opponents away from his goal; therefore he should avoid plays which might produce an accident whereby the opponent would get the ball within striking distance of the goal. No attempts at forward passes near your own goal are justi fiable unless the opposing team is way ahead and it seems worth while to take every chance in order to hold on to the ball to get a score or to prevent further scores. In general it is good defensive strategy to punt the ball whenever you are within 35 yards of your own goal, for by so doing you will avoid all chances of a fumble which might give the ball to the opponent within striking distance of your goal. Whenever a team is within strik ing distance of the opponent's goal it is advisable to use the strongest and surest gaining plays by the purest gaming men. - (Next week: Cross Country Run ning," by T.

The Pin ax Co ft Wayne, Ind, Smuggling and Slipper Slap. By MOLLIE PRICK COOK. , The All Around American Girl loves the out-of-doors. Here are some jolly games for her and her friends. Smuggling, Twolcaders choose sides by counting "One, two, three Out goes she!" "Aina, maina, mona, mike; Bassalona, bona, strike; ' Hare, ware, frown, hack; Halico, balico, wee, wo, . wy, whack 1" First chooser's side are "Outs;" second .chooser's side are "Ins." "Outs" have a desirable object or "Treasure" which they are supposed to havel smuggled. They hide it among themselves out of sight of the "Ins," or in sight of the "Ins" by deftly exchanging it from one to another behind their backs. . The '"Ins" stay in a den (about four feet by six in size), and the "Outs" run and hide. They must not go beyond boundaries previous ly decided. .- Before reaching final hiding place they call "Smugglers!" This signals the "Ins" to start the chase. The object of the "Ins"is to catch the oyie player among the "Outs" who is Guardian of the Treasure. I If the Guardian returns to the den without being caught, her side wins and goes out again for the next game. But if the Guardian is caught before she gets to the den, the "Ins" win the game and go out next time. . Whenever an "In" catches an "Out": she is a prisoner. The pur suer puts her -band on the prisoner's head and says "deliver it." Every body shouts "deliver it," and all players return to the den. If the prisoner has the Treasure, she must give it up. If not she is released, and the game goes on. Slipper Slap. Girls form in circle. Odd girl stands in center and an old slipper or folded newspaper, tied firmly with a string, is passed around the circle. The Player, whenever possi ble, advances to Center Girl with slipper in hand and slaps her with it on the shoulder or arm. The Player must not get caught but must return to the ring and quickly pass slipper behind her back to other players. Another player runs to center and slaps Center Player who tries to catch the offender. If she succeeds, she may take a place in the circle and the girl who is caught becomes Center Player. Girls can pass the slipper back and forth around the ritrg very fast to make the game exciting. .
