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.

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.

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-

Facts in the Sugar
Situation
Kaw Tork. Oet 14. To the Editor
of The Bee: In view ot the current
excitement over tha sugar aituatton
it is important to look at tne tacts:
1. 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.

nical school and train for a mining
engineer."
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. Ev
ans, Chief Engineer." '

More Power from
Less Gasoline
Besides lubrication that insures a
quiet, smooth-running motor,
Polarine Oil supplies a constant,
gas-tight seal between the piston
rings and the cylinder walls.
Polarine holds the explosive
power of the gasoline behind the
pistons. That is the secret of en
gine power and fuel economy.
There is no power leakage when
Polarine guards your engine. You
can use a lean, quick - burning,
economical mixture and get more
power from every gallon of gasoline
use less gasoline per mile.
Buy Polarine where you buy quick-fire,
power-full Red Crown Gasoline. At
filling time look for this sign.
