Frank recognition and commendation , of Jionest and efficient public service, 5. Inculcation of Americanism as the true basis of good citizenship. BRING OUT ALL THE FACTS. The case taken to, the grand jury by the local machinists' anion, in which the rights of a young man are said to have been ignored, first by a policeman, second by the police judge,1 and finally by an attorney, deserves fullest in vestigation. On the surface it looks like one of the most remarkable outrages ever com mitted. That a boyr a stranger in the city, should be arrested at the door of a hotel where he was about to apply for lodging, is remarkable in itself. That he should v be charged with vagrancy, in spite ol the fact thai, he was' pos sessed of $130 in cash, a paid-up working card in a great international labor union, and other documents that would easily prove his charac ter, is a sign of malicious stupidity on part of the officer whejjnade the arrest. When arraigned in police courtthe judge should have given the case at least sufficienflt tention to determine if the story told by the victim had any merit. Instead, the perfunctory process of listening to what the arresting officer had to say and then inflicting a sentence of fifteen days in jail was gone through, apd the lad was hurried without ceremony to the county jail. ' Finally, the course of the attorney who se-v cured his release, with the incidental sequestra tion of $100 in cash, as an earnest that the fee of the freeholder who qualified on the bail bond would be paid, also invitesinspection. All in all, the case is so remarkable in its outward aspect that for the good of Omaha the facts should be completely sifted. The action of the machinists in moving to secure a full inquiry is commendable. It may bring out the truth, and possibly suggest that further re forms are needed in the police system, or lack of system. ' Vote for the school bonds today. Ak-Sar-Ben also looks like a winner.

" Palmer and the Profiteers. Bristling with fierce, righteous indignation, the -attorney general of the United States launches a broadside against the coal mer chants who propose to be allowed to gain an excess profit from th strike. If they attempt any such thing, Mr. Palmer tells them, he will "hdo something so dreadful as to hold them. ever after. It is so consoling to think we' have at .the head of the Department of justice a man so resolute. Yet, as the first rush of en thusiasm passes, and a cold, reasoning glance is taken at .results, the citizen must come to the conclusion that the cartoonist wasright; Mr. Palmer went hunting, equipped with a mighty arsenal of legal and moral weapons, and came home with a miserable bag. of game from a woods filled with the biggest and ripest sort. We realize that he is placed in a peculiar position. Parading himself just now in a try out as an aspirant for the TTonor of succeeding his chief as leader of the democratic party, Mr. Palmer wants to do the right thing, and at the same time doesn't want to lose a vote. He re calls how- a few years ago his revered and respected leader proclaimed that the man who sought to make money out of the panicky con ditions created by democratic monkeying with business conditions would be, hanged 'at least as high as Haaman and let it go at that. A resounding declaration at the critical moment has well served the democratic chieftains in lieu of action ever since they were in power. Just as the government was looted on war contracts, and as private consumers hve been held up by conscienteless price boosters before, during and after the war, so it will probably continue until people may relieve themselves by turning out the administration under which profiteering has come to be an almost exact science. Mr. Palmer might give the country great service, but he, probably, will not. -. Terrible Tragedy of Kieff Something of the terrible conditions in Rus- sia under the bolshevik control may be gained from the following account of conditions found at Kieff after that city was evacuated y the "reds" before the approach of the anti-bdlshe-vik army. It is written by a correspondent of - . . . . r c l if the London Times, unaer aate 01 oepiciuuci two days after he had -entered the city with its deliverers: ' I have reached Kieff by r, - having flown from Lutsk in one of the two aeroplanes of the French squadron stationed there, which established the first contact between the Polish rforces and the Russian volunteer army, passing over some Z50 miles ot country occupied paruy by the bolshevists and partly by the Ukrainian troops. ! When we started from Lutsk the situation In Kieff was unknown, and it was rumored that the anti-bolshevist troops'1 which had occupied it ha(i again withdrawn. A, preliminary recon naissance over the city showed that Jife there was aoDarentlv normal. There was plenty of L people in the streets, the trains were running. there was activity in tne railway siauuu, onu movement among the motor transport vehicles was also discernible. It was, however, with somewhat an anxious feeling that we planed down towards the aerodrome. We were reas sured by the sight of. mechanics in British uni forms running out from a hangar to meet us a sure sign that the volunteer army was in occupation, since a considerable portion of it is now clothed in khaki, and even wears the fa miliar buttons of the British royal arms.

Making Cotton Crop Pay, With cotton quoted at New York around, 35 cents , a pound, a Louisiana planter is re ported vto have sold his season's crop at 75 cents, at which rate 800 bales brought him $360,000. Good , cotton land, producing' normal yield, willbing forth around a bate, to the acre. Assuming for safety's, sake that the crop in question was the total yield of 1,000 acres, it stands a gross return yvf $360 an acre, or rather more than is possible even for sugar beets, the most remunerative of northrn grown crops. It is extremely probable that some exceptional circumstances attended the) sale in question, for no other similar case is yet reported. The ugly fact is, however, that the cotton yield for the current year is only a little over half the normal. Voluntary restrictions of acreage and an un favorable season is responsible for this. Cotton agreed toreduce the Bret seeded to eotton for 1919. Their avowed aim was to reduce the yield and keep up the price. Through the un expected assistance of an unfavorable season the scheme succeeded better than its projectors pjanned, and the world will be held up on ac count of the. short 'crop. When some short sighted middle western farmers proposed to restrict the area sown to wheat they were roundly denounced; the 'miners have been called immoral for going on strike iif face of winter, creating an artificial scarcity of coal. What will be said df the cotton planter who delib erately took such means to keep up the price of his product, which is so badly needed for the welfare of the world? Strikes That Settle Themselves. The law of compensation still operates, despite the1 clamor of the reformers who would do away with it At Itast two annoying and vexatious strikes have been settled in accord with the everlasting rule that' requires a bal ance. For many weeks shipping has been tied up in New York harbor bythe contumacy of the longshoremen. These went on an unauthor ized strike, defying "the officers of their inter national union and refusing to listen to anyone who did not coincide with their demands. It was the beginning of the "revolution" which so many of the "advanced" are talking about Slowly the fires that kept the passions of the men heated to the point of unreason have died away, and the strike has collapsed for want of vitality. The same is true of the steel strike. It was as ill-advised as that of the longshore men, or the coal miners, and is coming to an inglorious end for the same reason. "Thrice armed is he who hath his quarrel just," but any cause that rests on "a basis of naked power" is doomed in advance. Strikes to be won must contain a promise of good to all and not merely an advantage to a few. 1 , Kieff today is a city of horrors. I do not know whether in any other town in which they have ruled the bolshevists have left such ghastly traces of their fiendish work as they have here. The Ukrainian government was driven out in January last, and for roughly 200 days from then the bolshevists were in occu pation. -Oaevery one of these 200 'days ex ecutions took place by order of the . "chrez vechaikas" (commissions for combating the counter revolution). . v - ... No one knows how many persons perished. Popular gossip puts the number at 30,000 to 40,000. This is obviously an exaggeration, but reckoning by the number of bodies which were found (buried or unburied) at different points about the cityi there must 'have been st. least 2,000 victims. - There were few men of any education among r!i Vipff rnmmissianVs. This, and a charac teristic disrespect for any humane feelings, my i account for the horrible way in which they left the bodies of their victims partially or en tirely unburied. The anatomical theater of the university was used as a mortuary for the' ex ecuted dead, and the volunteer army when they , entered the city found about 200 corpses lying there in a state ofliorrible putrefaction. In a rooTh in a private house 140 more were found, locked up and left to rot. - Even today, a fortnight after the delivery, a terrible odor, which chloride only partially stifles invades one's nostrils continually in cer tain parts' of the town. Among the "sights" of Kieff are the houses where the two chrez vechaikas, the one for Kieff the other for the Ukraine, held theirsittings and tortured their victims, cither to wring information from them, or, as it appears in many cases; simply from a fiendish pleasure in human, sufferings. The Kieff chezvechaika, which was ac counted the most cruel, sat in a house in the street of Sadowa, a gloomy by-road, darkened by the thick foliage of chestnut trees. Behind it is a small garden, in which is a shallow pit not 'five feet deep. From this were taken the bodies of 124 persons who were murdered a few days before Kieff was captured one'tiight's' work. Many of the bodies were mutilated by having pieces of skin in the shape of epaulettes cut from their shoulders and strips from the thighs in imitation of the 'stripes on an .officer's trousers. , At one side of the garden is a garage or coach-house. This was used as the place of execution. The walls are pitted with revolver bullets and splashed with reel stains; the floor is still glutinous; the , smell makes one turn away sickened after a Very short ispection. An English governess, Miss Billingsley, who lives in this street, has told, me of the awful shrieks which could be heard coining from this house night after, night. The. house, itself is littered with an almost comic collection of objects, ap parently looted by muibers of the. committee from private houses. There is furniture of all kinds, cbcks, toys, a bird-cage, photographs, gramophones, books, heaped together anyhow.' The first volume picked at hazard from a big pile proved to be a Tauchaitz copy of Mark Twain's "The Innocents Abroad."'. The house of the Ukraine committee has a similar slaughter house, also a garage. This is,x if anything, worse than the other. There is an inspection pit, wjiich was used as a drain; from it there comes up" the horrible reek of blooa. ;A common chorping block beside it is soaked in it. An old bayonet lies on the floor near by. Twetve bodies ere found in the garden here, stuffed anyhow into a pit and barely covered with earth. France is fighting the high cost of lining with American army .supplies bought by the government. Pity something like that;.' could not have been brought about at home ' A Kieff somehow manages to bear all this hor ror lightly; the people seem to have thrown it from their minds like a nightmare. The streets are full; pretty girls walk about bareheaded in summer white; the picturesque figures of the Cossack officers catch the eye at every turn. As one walks in the gardens aboye the Dnieper and looks on he beauty of the moonlit stream, and listens to laughter and the tinkle of pianos from houses hidden by the trees, it ishard to believe that the whole story is not a dream. Prof. Florinski.. professor of Slav philology at Kieff university, was shot by a woman called j, C I .1.-1 l. '1 K Kosa jsenwanz, wnne tne- crrezvecnaiKa was still sitting, as he was in the middle of a philip pic against bolshevist rule. This woman, Rosa Schwartz, is commonly spoken of as a member of the committee, and is credited with having executed people regularly herself. Whether this was so seerrts doubtful. She, was tried, condemned to death, and shot a few days after the capture of,-the city. At her trial evidence was produced"to show that she was a prostitute, a favorite of severalmembers of the committee, who was used by them as a, decoy to entrap and denounce " persons who professed views un favorable to the government. This much, and the fact of her murder of Prof. Florniski, seems to be established. I say this because the figure of a Jewess as a prominent member of chrez vechaika committee is becoming legendary. There was a Jewess at Vinnitza who shot per sons witlrher .wn revolver; there was another at Minsk who signed death warrants. Did they all exist? So much that is terrible is true that much more that is simply hearsay is readily believed. ' All chezvechaikas seem to have equaled the tribunals of the French revolution in ferocious cruelty. The methods used at Kieff seem to have surpassed the rest. Of many of the tortures used it is impossible to speak. Latsis, a Lett who was latterly president of the Ukraine committee, wrote an article in the Red Knife, the official organ of the bolshevist gov ernment, published at Moscow, in which he discussed the question of torture, reasoning, for instance, as to whether nails driven under the finger nails were as effective as the slow ex traction of teeth. ' ' . It is difficult to believe that there are per sons in the world who are opposed to the sup pression by every.means available of a regime which gives full play to the bestial passions of the fiends in human form who do'these things.

JERRY HOWARD. Where Was the Chief? Omaha, "Nov. 8. To the Editor of The Bee: Much has been said In the Omaha and other papers re garding the, burning of our million dollar court house September 28. I will ask if it is not a fact that the chief of the Omaha police at 11 a.' m. on day of Are was advised that a mob was forming for the purpose of lynching the negro?' This being so, he had ample time to have called on 100 or more men to assist him and hia forces that could have pro tected the building and negro against any outside mob of 5,000 men or more. During ,the? civil war irf 1862 myself and a nartvof other kunion soldiers were detailed to guard a passage through the moun tains, with orders from our caDtain to hold same at all hazard acainat 500 southern cavalry soldiers, Which' we aid. Jtiaa we not done so we would have been called cowards and would have disgraced the union army. We had much less protec tion than the Omaha police force would have had. It does, seem to me and others so silly to think that an unorganized and unarmed lot of boys should have been allowed to have taken and burned the court house as against the old organized armed force of police if they had a leader. Where, oh where was our chief of police all this time that he did not have his force fully organ ized? If he was in the United States arrny in charge of a company of men and allowed his post or fort to be taken when he had 100 or more men under his command, he would have been court-martialed, convicted and drummed out of camp. Will also ask whv crlrls from 11 to 18 years old are allowed uu auwiiiuuura wnue aione in the car or. with other children through our streets at a high rate of speed, often after dark, without lights on either end of the car, and without number? They are seen by the poliee department and know the ordinance is, being violated. Per haps they are not yet fully organ ized to handle this class of duty.

For Boys to Make Rigging a Telegraph Line. By GRANT M. HVDB. To rig up a telegraph line and learn to talk over it by Morse code is not beyond an average boy's abil ity and is a fascinating pastime.

Only one wire is needed, since the ground may always be used to com plete the circuit. . Use fasulated magnet wire; the eleectric shop will advise you as to the size demanded by the length and by the use indoors or-out. Don't try to run top far out doors, because yofj will have con tinual line trouble, and don't stretch your line near any other vtre. To grpund an -outdoor line fasten the ground wire to a heavy spike and stick-it into the ground. To ground indoors fasten the ground wires to water or gas pipes; if there are none, use a two-wire circuit with out a grounded wire. 3. Battery. ' In commercial wires, to enable one operator to call another, the cir cuit is always complete or "closed"' with a battery in it. This requires a special kind of battery. You,will use dry cells,, and a "closed" circuit would Sqpn exhaust them. There fore, rig the wires according to this diagram with twodry cells at each station and switches to "cut them in." When the line is pot, in use both switches should be set at A and keys closed so that there is no cur rent, or battery, in the circuit. To call from one station the. operator first moves his switch to B, so as to put his battery into the circuit, then opens his key and begins to call. Station 2. in answering, atso switch-' es to B to -put in his batteries and strengthen tfie current. After talk ing, both stations close their sending keys and put the switches back to A, so that 4he batteries are again idle. The switches may be- made of tin and screws. (Next week, .

This is made from the strong box in which your new suit came. Lay the Box and the cover on large pieces of brown linen or denim and trim to fit cutting out the corners. Stretch "the cloth tightly over the edges, gluing it in place so that both box and cover are neatly covered. If you like, you may make scented pads of cretonne to fit the inside and tack them in place. This will hold pour week-end things beauti fully if you fasten it with a shawl trap, and it will serve for a longer trip too. ' Dainty Clothes-Press Boxes.

It will be a good plan to stand these on the shelves. They will keep fresh longer. Wall paper makesa most attrac tive covering for a hat box too. A pattern of roses, violets, or bunches of wild flowers, is the best to use. Lay the cover on the wall paper, cutting it to fit, and then paste it neatly in place. Cut a broad and a narrow strip to paste around the box and the edge of "fhe cover. For Your Bureau. A small, round candy box makes a charming pin cushion. It may be already covered, , and it is usually strong so that you have a founda tion to sew to. Use only the box itself and stuff it with wood. Cover the wool with pink or blue silk. Then cover the outside with silk to match, tacking it to the edge of the box. A few of the" tiny silk" flowers that you now buy by the yard iti the shops may be glued to the edge of the box, or a ruffle of lace will cover your stiches.
