You should know that Omaha, according to government measurements, has an annual average rainfall of 23.35 inches. What The Be Stands For: 1. 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. Hogs know that the war is over. 1 The weather bureau is mussing up a perfectly loveTy climate. , ' ' America's sweet tooth is a mighty expensive member just now. . , Opera "made in Germany" is not extremely popular in New York just now.

Sioux City's sheriff had better luck with the bank robbers than did Nebraska officers. y1"MM"BBBBMBBBai S, If Mr. Vilson succeeds in putting Humpty Dumpty together again, he ii indeed a well man. Denver insists on a 5-cent fare and high wages to the street railway employes. It i not easy to havt both. Czecho-SIovakia is considering the adoption of prohibition. And that is where we used to get some of our "Pilsenerl" Chicago city employes are organizing "old clothes" societies. They are far behind in this. Most of us joined long ago. . If Belgium doesn't watch carefully, she may lose a perfectly good king and America gain an other splendid foreign-born citizen. , Secretary Lane's report on the industrial conference that failed is awaited with interest. It should give a key to the misunderstanding. ' Be ready when the salesman calls to get your subscription to the Ak-Sar-Ben stock issue. This is no "blue sky" proposition, but for the good of Omaha. Profiteers are playing their trumps right now, and old h. c. of 1. is marching merrily along. Mr. Ultimate Consumer will have something to say later. Three and a half billion pennies in cir culation in the United States, but with "the" "slugs" in use on the trolley cars, Omaha does not heed so many coppers now. . King Alfonso, is looking over the battlefield of Verdun, where the former crown prince broke his; pick. This is a pleasure that was de- . nied to several lately crowned heads of Europe. 'It 'Ighness, the prince of Hedjaz, is miffed, at the disposition made of Syria 1 by the su preme council, and wants the United States to intervene. This is an example of the requests we will hear for many a day to come. Knocking the stuffing out of straw men is the satisfying employment of our amiable Hy phenated contemporary. Witness the zeal with which it sails into "wars of conquest," which are not mentioned in the league covenant. Suppressing the Cocktail - Is England to sacrifice the cocktail as a con cession to prohibition sentiment? There is an ominous ring to the suggestion of Lord D'Aber ; non, head of the British Liquor-Control board, that while general prohibition would be too drastic the suppression of the American cock tail might be justified on physiological grounds it i drink that "combines the objectionable features of a highly concentrated alcohol con sumed at the worst time that is, on an empty stomach." . ' 1 If the action is taken there will be no occa sion for diplomatic representations by this country. The cocktail away from its native bars suffers some kind of sea change, and fcdilly again will not miss it The mam fact of interest ib the indicated vogue of the beverage in England, where it was long regarded as a cariosity of the bartender's art A prohibi - tionist compromise that merely eliminated the cocktail and left Scotch whisky, wines and "beer" with its old alcoholic content untouched would be perfectly satisfactory to tourists from the bone-dry "states." But aa for the specially deleterious nature of the cocktail, will brandy and soda be a hy- fienic improvement as an appetizer? In the ays when American gentlemen took their liquor straight and California bar rooms dis played signs reading . ?No Mixed Drinks served," cocktail drinking was more a sign of iilettanteism than of devilishness. The medi al prejudice against Hhe cocktail seems to have originated with the theory that whisky or gin mixed with a liqnor of less alcoholic strength gained in potency from the blend. Do they drink, mint juleps in England to an extent requiring .regulation? That compound consumed before breakfast in Virginia and Ken " tucky realized Dr. Johnson's definition of a "drink for heroes." New York World. LUXURIES FOR THE LABORER. Declaring automobiles to be necessaries of life, aod that the time has come when the labor ing man is to have his share of luxuries, Timo thy Shea, head of the locomotive firemen, sounds a note that will be heard throughout the land. For many years the high wage scale in America has been preserved for the single pur pose of enabling the preservation of the so called "American standard" of living. This has meant many things in a workingman's home that are looked upon as luxuries in other coun tries. Whether it is now to be extended to in clude automobiles is to be determined. No question is made that the workingman ap preciates a drive in a high grade ear, or even a "flivver," quite as much as any other man. It is also true that a great many of them already drive their own cars. This was the case before the war with its consequent rise in wages and cost of living. ' A strangely unaccountable fact in human ex perience is men working under identical condi tions and for uniform pay show wide variation in their ways of living. One will accumulate property, own his home, have his automobile and other evidences of prosperity, while the other is barely able to get along, living always on his next week's pay. This is the difference between thrift and unthrift, and is not a new phenomenon by any means. , The same difference will exist, even if Mr. Shea's, proposal is taken at its face value, and automobiles be included in the list of necessities embraced in the American standard. No ad justment of wage scale will ever establish that parity between individuals where all will be housed, fed and clothed alike, or given to enjoy equally the luxuries of living. Any claim the firemen or other group of workmen may set up for increase in pay must rest on a better basis than a yearning for "luxuries," or it is certain to fall. ' Llpyd George Facing Crisis. Although supported by a formidable coali tion majority, Lloyd George is not to have easy sailing in the session of Parliament just opened, if surface indications point accurately to, the underlying sentiment Several seats have been lost to the government in the by-elections, ac cepted as a proof that the war spirit that held the' great group of coalitionists together is crumbling, and that British political feeling is again crystallizing on party lines. Toryism did not disappear, nor did the ele ment .assembled under the head of liberal, but the laborites and the radicals have gained im mensely in strength, and confidently look ahead to control within a very few years. These predict that Lloyd George will be forced to go to the country shortly, relying on attacks on home and foreign policies to overturn the premier. In many respects 'the internal problems of the. United Kingdom are similar to those con fronting the United States. Reconstruction has brought its difficulties, and readjustment so far as has progressed has been accompanied by vio lent disturbances. These have been unduly ag gravated by the railroads, who have injected Russia into -the debate, and have brought for ward strength that was repressed by the sense of danger while the great war actually was on. Extremists boldly declare in support! of the bolshevist movement, and censure the govern ment for its anti-red activities. How far they can get is uncertain, but it is plain they will be able to annoy the premier and to interfere with his program extensively. The political crisis he now faces $ quite as definite as was his military problem. , Adroit as well as bold, resourceful and prudent, Lloyd George will give his opponents a merry time of it before they get him out of power. Omaha's Passenger Depot Problem. ' Having given some study to the economic conditions of Omaha while in the city, Chair man Lovett of the Union Pacific must have been impressed with the inadequacy of the depot facilities afforded railroads entering here. Already severely overtaxed before the war, and not sufficient to accommodate the restricted traffic during the war, the prospect of having to care for the future requirements at the ex isting terminal must be discouraging to the operating forces. Renewal of corporation con trol of the lines should open an easy way to co operation and the provision of a union depot that will take care of the business now crowded into the cramped and unsatisfactory quarters employed. Mr. Lovett is quoted as saying no immediate expenditures for betterments or ex tensions are considered, but it is unreasonable to expect that Omaha is always to be put off on the depot questipn. The matter was promi nently before the magnates before the war started, but was held up by the financial diffi culties in which some of the roads that would use the plant found themselves. These have passed, and with clearing skies, growing busi ness 'and general expansion in all directions, a new passenger station for this great gateway does not seem too much for the patrons to ask. In the Hands of Congress. The United States under this reservation to Article X would undertake no obligation. It would be a party to no agreement against any robber nation launching a war of con quest It would leave the matter entirely with congress, as it is now. World-Herald. Precisely. , Congress represents the people of the United States and speaks with their voice. However deeply and sincerely Ameri cans recognize and accept thjeir duty and obli gation as keepers of their brothers, big or little, brown or black, they still want to retain the right to say if they are to be plunged into war. Under Article X, as presented by the president to the senate, congress has the right' to declare war, but in the language of the World-Herald, "with that pledge standing congress would be bound in honor and in morals to make it good." In plain words, the governing body of the League of Nations could declare a war and the United Statea would be bound to take part in it That is just what the majority in the senate proposes shall not come to pass. One carload of 600 bushels is not sufficient to meet' the demand for potatoes in Omaha. The city should try again. By the way, why should we pay $2.40 a bushel for spuds grown in Mich igan or Ohio, when the Nebraska variety is available at $1.50? , Reservations or nothing, and it is now up to the president's group to say if the United States goes into the League of Nations on reasonable terms or stays out altogether. Time for dodgr ing is past The American Red Cross From the St Louis Globe-Democrat The figures of what was accomplished by the women of America through the agency of the Red Cross and what that organization itself achieved through the help given by the people' of America are too large for full understanding, even though we have become accustomed to talk in millions and billions. For instance, the women working at the various places operated bv the Red Cross oroduced 371.500.000 articles valued at $94,000,000. These articles were dis tributed by the organization to soldiers and needy civilians in the war region. No one can begin to estimate the comfort and relief from suffering these millions of articles gave. We have but to imagine what would have been the conditions everywhere had not the American Red Cross been in existence. But that was not half of what was done, because nurchased and contributed supplies were also distributed or used to the value ot $161,400,000. No complete statement of the number of per sons engaged in this work reirularlv. exclusive of the volunteer workers, has been made, but in the motor service alone at the time of the armis tice there were 12,000. The oaid organization had to be a large one, covering as its activities did, the United States and many European and Asiatic countries. Yet the cost of operation was but 1.7 per cent of the receipts. Persons who donated have the satisfaction of knowing that their donations actually reached and re lieved suffering or brought comfort to bur sol diers and also soldiers of 'other nations and were not consumed in extravagant overhead and organization expenses. As an illustration, wnue we nad less than 4,uuu,uuu men in the army, navy and marine corps all told, sand wiches, candy, cigarettes, ice cream, etc., were given out 39,948.733 times or an average of 10 times to each soldier and most of this was done by volunteer women receiving no compensation whatever. These are but some of th high lights of the wonderful work of the American Red Cross society, of which over 2,000,000 Americans feel proud to have become members last year, and which a like number should become members of this year and every year hereafter. This so ciety is one of mercy and of emergency relief. It should be kept fully organized and provided with the means of service. A grateful and ap preciative people will see that this is done. The Shantung Amendment The Shantung amendment was defeated by a vote of 55 to 35. What that amendment pro posed was to substitute in the paragraphs of the treaty conveying Shantung to Japan the name of China wherever the word Japan oc curs. That, if adopted by the league, would have restored to China what Germany took away. It was not expected that this amendment would pass the senate and this vote is no test of the strength of reservations. What is more largely approved, and will no doubt be included among the reservations, is an ex pression of strong disapprobation of a trans action which commits a rank injustice against a comparatively weak nation and an ally. An amendment might have necessitated resubmis sion of the treaty to the Paris conference and even then could have accomplished little more than could a vigorous protest, unless we were prepared -to compel Japan to surrender, and nobody at any time has contemplated the use of force to induce Japan to yield up her share of the spoils of war. What should be done and probably will be done will be the incorporation of a formal statement in the resolutions of ratification de nouncing this crime against a weak nation bv the strong the very thing the league is sup posed to prevent and- putting the United States squarely on record as repudiating the transac tion and rebuking our representative at the peace conference for permitting the United States to be placed in the attitude of sharinar in and consummating this piece of political piracy. It is one of the most indefensible fea tures of the treaty and outrages the American sense of honor all the more because it is now a well-established fact that it was not neces The presidents consent is explained on the ground that he feared that to refuse to ap prove would keep japan out ot the league, and, as he has confessed in his western tour speeches, so important a thing comoarativelv as the national honor was not too much to sacrifice if necessary to make sure of the league of nations. It is an evil omen that the existence of the league should rest at any point upon such a rot ten foundation. Minneapolis Tribune. The Turkish Revival Adrianonle and Brusa. old eanitali nf the Ottoman empire, have adhered to the national ist reaction under Mustapha Kemal,-pasha, who wants to keep so much of the ancient splendor of the 1 urk as his armies can hold, rerhaps he cannot be broken without fighting, but it seems likely that both Greeks and Italians would, if it came to a decision, be willing and able to break his armies in Anatolia. A united, front of the alliance would settle the Turkish trouble now threatened, and with the ancient problem of the Turk in Europe. But there is no united front. The Turks would have been swept back into Asia in the 18th century but for the jealousies of Russia and Austria; they were saved in the 19th cen tury by the jealousy of England and Russia; now they may be preserved once more, after their most complete defeat when an unpar alleled opportunity lies before the world, bv jealousies between England and France. It would be a prime, and a mistake worse than a crime, not to take the opportunity which Al lenby s victories provided. No doubt those statesmen who talk of. leaving the Turkish em pire intact think of it as virtually under the control of either France or Britain. History lends little support to such a hope. Britain twice saved the Turk in the 19th century: its reward was a shadowy diplomatic prestige at Constantinople, which had to be upheld by tol erance of repeated massacres of Christians, and which was finally completely overthrown by the croft of Marschall von Bieberstein. Sup port of the Turk by any great western power would be as foolish as it would be immoral- New York limes. The Day 'We Celebrate. Rev. Charles W.

The flgurai now available for September show that there haa been .delivered Into domeatlo consumption in the period, January-September, the enormous total of 8,2(3, 000 long tons refined aglar as against 2,681,000 tons in the same oeriod or I9i, an increase or euu. 000 tons, or 1,344,000,000 pounds a 22.5 per cent lncreaae. This is entirely independent or our exports. 2. The pre-war average con sumption for this period is about 2.900.000 tons, ao mat tnia year we have consumed over 880,000 tons more than normal, an increase ot 12 Der cent. - 3. This means that there haa been delivered into domestic consumption in the first nine months almost .s much sugar as in the whole of 1918 (the 1918 consumption waa S.400 000 tone, while in the first nine months of this year it was i,23,0Q0 tnnfl.T 4. The per capita consumption in these nine months has been 70 pounds, aa against 73 pounds for the whole year, 1911, and 83 pounds for the whole ot 1917. 5. FJgures do not always express the actual fact; it la best to use comparisons. The consumption for the" whole year of 1919 (which will probably be 4,100,000 long tons) will be over one-half of the world's total exportable surplus for 1919 and over one-quarter of the world's total production. xnia statement ex presses the situation better than flg iiroa pan avnresa it. 6. In solte or the shortage, there remains sufficient sugar to supply to the domestic trade about 400,000 tons ot refined sugar cane, 75,000 tons of .Louisiana sugars and 400, 000 tons of beet sugars all this for the last quarter of 1919, a total of 876,000 tons. This amount added to what haa already been distributed will give a consumption for 1919 of 4,iuu,uuu long tons, as against 400,000 tons in 1918, and a maxi mum'' of 3,800,000 i.tons in 1915. There remains tnerefore, 100,000 tons more sugar for .distribution in the last quarter of 1919 than in 1918. 7. Conclusion: In spite ot a world's shortage of nearly 2,000,000 tons in the world production, as compared to normal, the American people have been supplied with one quarter of the world's sugar produc tion and one-half of the world's ex portable surplus, while all the rest of the world, including our former allies, France, England and Italy, are all on short rations, clamoring for sugar. All this sugar has been supplied at a wholesale price of 8.82 cents per pound and the retail price of about 11-13 cents per pound, while French people pay 18.8 cents whole sale, England 12 Vi cents and other countries much higher prices. American people want even more sugar than they have received. The question arises as to ' whether we have the moral right to take out of the world's "sugar 'cake" more than we have already taken, even if more sugars were available. UNITED STATES SUGAR EQUAL IZATION BOARD, Inc. Statistical Division. i Statement of Sugar Distributing Committee, New Tork, Oct. 14, 1919. In con tinuing the' shipments west of Pitts burgh and Buffalo until October 15, eastern refiners have stayed in the western territory two weeks longer than was done in 1917 and 1918. On account of the longshoremen's strike in New York harbor refiners here are not operating, and . before they can resume and get shipments west, beets certainly should be in free supply. In discontinuing ship ments west of PPittsburgh and Buf falo refiners acted under postlve in structions from the United States food administration, . who were forced to take this position because the east has a scant and the west an ample supply. Roughly there will be approximately 800,000 tons of beet sugar produced in this country before January 1, and there is a population of about 50,000,000 in the territory that it must supply. Against this we have approximately only 250,000 tons of cane sugar available between now and January 1, with a population of 33,000.000 in the territory to be supplied. This means that with a supply of beet sugar more than three times greater than that of the eastern refiners, the beet sugar Interests will cover be tween now and January 1 a terri tory with only 50 per cent greater ' population. From now on until Jan uary 1 sugar will be distributed in the east -on approximately the same basis as was in effect under the re strictions imposed in September and October, 1918. Diminished supplies are the result of heavy consumption in the United States since January 1. "AUTUMN."

Buck wrote to the American In stitute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, 29 West Thirty-ninth street, New York, and from them received advice and information. He read a book by Ernest McCullough on "Engineering as a Vocation." He subscribed to the Engineering and Mining Journal, 505 Pearl St, New York, and to the Mining and Scien tific Press, 6'7. Howard St., San Francisco. This is about the advice he got. If you haven't good health and a strong, rugged body don't try to be a mining engineer. If you don't like mathematics, physics or chem istry, be something else. You can go to technical school and get your training, or you can go to night school for it, or you can get it by correspondence, or dig it out by yourself from the books. The first method is most expensive, but best. It gives you a broader and more thorough training. Buck chose that method. He had already graduated from high school. Now he spent four more years in a technical school. He worked with the Bermuda company during vaca tions and, as the school to which he went was in a mining district, he was able to work several shifts a week during the school year and thus earn some money. His father helped him considerably in paying his expenses. . After Buck graduated he returned to the Bermuda company. He might have been made a geologist, or metallurgist, or chemist, or been put in the surveying department; but he preferred a job as mine fore man. Here through several years of work he showed he had stuff in him and began to go up. ' . So now among the Bermuda Min ing company's offices one door has this sign on it: "Buchanan G.
