Working the Same Old Game
The New York Stock Exchange turns sol
emnly from the great wreck "in certain paper
values to inquire innocently if the Federal
reserve system is "functioning properly." It
was believed, says the Wall Street Journal,
thaTVthis system was inaugurated "to. prevent
panics, 'lamb-shearing' and 'inside manipula
tion.'" But, "it is alleged, the money powers
are working the same old game."
The "same old gam" has undoubtedly been
working, but by whom and where? To note
only a few examples, how and where did it come
about that within a few months, and mostly
within a few weeks, the quoted value of Repub
lic Steel stock was boosted 102 per cent, of
Baldwin Locomotive, 141 per cent, of General
Motors 228 per cent and of Crucible Steel 402
per cent? By whom if not by "inside" pools of
manipulators arbitrarily forcing up the quota
tions and point by point drawing in the "lambs"
as of old and then unloading the towering mass
upon them just as of old? And where, except
under the very eyes of the governors of the
New York Stock Exchange and openly with the
help of machinery there still provided?
Up to this point it is indeed the same old
story. But from this point and far short of the
general panic which commonly used to follow
trom sucn speculative excesses mere may oe
another story. This is because the Federal
Reserve System is functioning. It has been
restrained by its obligations to the money mar
et in floating the Victory loan, but that re
straint is now offi The manipulation has gone
on in the face of repeated warnings from the
reserve board and banks and conservative finan
ciers. Now the board and the banks are in a
position to give force to their warnings., But
what has become of those powers within the
Stock Exchange itself that were to make that
institution . "function properly? New York
World.
POCKET VETO FOR TREATY.
According to Senator Hitchcock, the presi
dent will pocket the peace treaty if it it ratified
with the to-called Lodge reservations. This ii
the word brought from a conference between
the president and the senator at the White
House on Monday.
It hat but one significance. Mr, Wilson is
determined to have hit own way at home,
whether he could or not abroad. In the con
ference at Paris he continually gave way to the
judgment of representatives of other countries.
He even forebore to present his own draft of a
covenant for a league of nations in deference
to General Smuts of the South African Union.
He permitted Sir Robert Borden of Canada to
Insert clauses and change wordings to make the
document more acceptable to Canadians. But
when he gets home, he demands that the
United States sepate abandon its constitutional
duty and become a rubber stamp.
The senate of the United States is a co-ordinate
branch of the federal government, and
part of the treaty-making machinery of the
United States. The president has power to
negotiate treaties, but they only can be ratified
with the consent of the senate. Mr. Wilson
knew this when he went alone to Paris, ignor
ing the senate completely.
He had ample warning that part of the work
he(had set about did not have approval of the
nation. In November last ha was rebuked s
no other president of the United States ever
was. In the recent elections in Kentucky and
Oklahoma the popular voice distinctly regis
tered against the League of Nations. This
might suggest to an ordinary man that he had
mistaken his own for popular opinion.
But Woodrow Wilson is not an ordinary
man. He refuses to take counsel with any, but
gives orders to congress and expects to see
them carried out without question. A majority
of the senate is no longer subservient to his im
perious willi therefore he United States shall
have no treaty of peace.
And yet the war was fought to do away with
autocracy in all forms!
Sublimated Soviet Impudence.
If conditions were only a little different,
Ludwig C. A. K. Martens would readily be
classified with Artemu's Ward's kangaroo as an
"amoosin' little cuss." Under existing circum-.
stances he is an irritation. Martens writes to
Secretary Lansing protesting against treatment
accorded certain subjects of soviet Russia, and
proposing that he be permitted to pay the fare
of all who wish to depart from this land of op
pression and return to the freedom and oppor
tunity offered by the bolsheviki.
Secretary Lansing will find little difficulty
in permitting the passage from here to there of
any of Mr. Mertens' persecuted countrymen. It
will not be forgotten, though, that these men
and women are here as uninvited guests, avow
edly come to aid in overturning our govern
ment. If they have been persecuted or abused,
it is because the federal authorities have be
stirred themselves to discourage the benevolent
purpose of the visiting bolsheviki. With fore
shortened opportunity of heaving bombs and in
the presence of a somewhat indurated resolve
on part of the local proletariat to rely on three
meals a day and the movies at night, instead of
the hunger and cold and wretchedness that
goes with the world from which capital has
been banished, these apostles of anarchy natur
ally are disappointed.
Then Mr. Martens has also sustained a some
jwhat grievous injury. He bobbed up a little
over a year ago, announcing himself as envoy
from the soviet government, but failed to ob
tain recognition. . This formality would not
have mattered so much, but it involved title to
several millions dollars' worth of material pur
chased by the Russian government anf not yet
delivered. Moreover, a checking account of
$50,000,000 was at the disposal of the man who
had the endorsement of Uncle Sam as the rep
resentative, of Russia. Little wonder the gen
tleman feels hurt, and wants to get away from
a country that welcomed him so coldly.
But What Will "Pussyfoot" Do?
Much thanks is due to SirArthur Conan Doyle
for having given us a heaven filled with all
those things we take delight in here be,low, and
excluding th unpleasant. His addition of rum
and tobacco to the other details will go far to
persuade those who have been inclined to look
a little slantingly at the vision sent down from
Patmop. Something is lacking, though. The
Doyle 'hereafter makes no provision for the spe
cial reward to he achieved by austerity and
piety in this life, nor does it seem to hold much
for the "Pussyfoot" Johnsons, unless they will
have their pleasure in the coming world as they
have found it in this, through enforcing their
own ideas of meat and drink on those who do
not agree with them. ( We trust Sir Arthur will
look again, to see if this obscurity can not be
removed. It would be too bad if the well
meaning who have so faithfully denied them
selves in this life were to find their efforts vain,
and be required to endure in the spirit land
those things they have religiously eschewed in
this. More information on this point is de
sirable. Strike Against: High Prices.
A movement has been inaugurated in New
York that may be a practical way of meeting
the high cost of food. Consumers are voluntar
ily abstaining from the purchase of milk on
three days in the week. Dealers put up the
price to an exorbitant figure, and now find their
sales curtailed by the action of indignant cus
tomers If the plan becomes general, the end
is in plain sight. The remedy is suggested by
the Council of National Defense.- If it works
out all right in New York, other communities
might try it, and it need not be confined to
milk alone. As soon as the profiteers find the
public is willing to get along without the arti
cles on which unreasonable, selling prices have
been fixed, the quicker will be the return to a
basis where the man who pays the bills will
have a chance. Passing the buck has no place
in this, for -with everybody in it, there will be
no "goat-
Nebraska soil still affords considerable at
traction to investors, as witness an average of
$233 an acre paid for large tracts at auction.
It will require well directed industry to make
this investment pay, but the farmer who works
in this state is certain of his reward.
One of the anomalies of Nebraska law seems
,to be that a judge may in his discretion sus
pend sentence passed on a hardened offender,
but if a boy is condemned to the reformatory.
there he must go. A little reform is badly
needed here.
When Patriots Sing
Frederick R. Barkhurst in St Louis Times.
American audiences are proverbially fair
with orators outside of Oklahoma. The love
of free speech includes a general willingness
to listen to the arguments of the other tide. It
does not, however, make the listeners forgetful
of their love for and allegiance to the cause of
truth.
That was why, when somebody started sing
ing "The Star-Spangled Banner' at a soviet
meeting in Yonkers, N. Y., Sunday night, the
audience joined in so heartily that Rose Pastor
Stokes was compelled to cease her attacks upon
the American republic and retire to the less
patriotic seclusion of her own hotel room.
What a splendid method of answering a
wild revolutionist's attacks upon free govern
ment! No calling for the police, no use of bad
eggs nor tar and feathers or clubs. No resort
to violence of any sort All that was required
for driving the un-American speaker from the
pltaform was the voicing of that fine old hymn
which Francis S. Key penned when American
liberty hung in the balance, and which has been
the inspiration of lovers of freedom ever since.
"Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early
light?"
How beautifully the words and melody must
have sounded to that audience, breaking in upon
a strident-toned tirade against the country to
which the song gave praise I It is easy to under
stand the thrill which swept the gathering at
the dramatic turn in incident and sentiment.
"Oh, where is that band who so vauntingly
' swore
A home and a fireside they'd leave us
no more?"
Boldly, accusingly the strains ring out,
scores of voices joining with every word in
swelling the beautiful melody in adding their
personal pledge of patriotism to the growing
paean of praise of the republic. Little wonder
the invective of disloyalists died in their throats,
or that the wicked schemes they had thought to
disclose to supposedly sympathetic listeners re
main locked in the perfidious hearts of un
worthy holders of the priceless privilege of
American citizenship.
"Then conquer we must, when cause if is
just,
And this be our motto, in God is our trust.
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph
shall wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of
the brave 1"
Listen to the sweeping climax of the great
song! A multitude has taken it up. The pas
sion of American patriots that love of country
which filled the souls of men who died at Bunk
er Hill, at Valley Forge and at Yorktown; the
iov and oride of serving the nation which called
the flower of the manhood of the republic to
arms in J812 and in 1848 and in 1861 and in
1898 and in 1917; the wonderful spirit of citizen
ship which brings instantly forward the Ameri
can of mind and heart to cope with any crisis
in which his government's jntegrity and honor
are ft stake is pouring itself forth in the hymn I
It is reverent homage to earth's noblest nation;
it is stern' warning to any who Would seek to
attack the homeland of a great people.
No wonder they slink away those political
malefactors who thought to embitter their fel
I3ws against peace and order and justice and
right! The sins of anarchy hatred of honest
rule, unconcern for the sacredness of home, dis
respect fior every law of God and conscience-led
men cannot stand against the truths of a liberty-begotten
sentiment. A free people sing
their national hymn with joy and pride and as
the triumphal music floats Heavenward, iwould
he destrovers of the institutions ofour free
government seek the outer darkness and the
unsavory isolation wnicn evciuuaiiy must uc
the refuge of traitors in all times. i
t
tf Straight from the Shoulder"
We commend the resolutions of the Amer
ican Legion on conscientious objectors to the
secretary of war as interesting literature for his
perusal under his evening lamp. I
Whether, Mr. Baker knows it or not, the
sentiment expressed by the men of the Legion
on the performance of the War department in
dealing with conscientious objectors, especially
those at Fort Leavenworth, is exactly in line
with the feeling of the public on this matter, so
far as we have been able to sense it.
They probably do not intend to be unfair to
the few real conscientious objectors who, while
unwilling to carry arms and fight, were willing
to render other service of value in -the-prosecution
of the war. It is the miserable slackers
who tried to hide behind spurious claims to
conscientious objections that have so provoked
the indignation of the "first class fighting men"
and brought out from them an indictment of the
secretary of war which is as deserved as it is
terrific. 1
When a slacker can get out of prison, where
he has resisted every requirement of military
discipline and has done his utmost to show his
contempt for his country and the government,
with an honorable discharge, the men from the
trenches have a right to feel, as they express it,
"shamed and discredited" by this elevation of
the slacker to the plane of an honorably dis
charged soldier.
There is no doubt in our opinion that the
conduct of the War department in pardoning
and honorably discharging these pusillanimous
scoundrels with back pay and allowance and
other favors has had an appreciable effect in
encouraging disloyalty, and we are glad that the
young men of the Legion told the War depart
ment in plain English what they thnik about it
and how keenly they feel the inferential slight
which it has put upon them. Minneapolis
Tribune.
For This Relief, Much Thanks
The world, moves occasionally. A girl' in
Philadelphia, the daughter of a wealthy rail
road man, in sending out invitations for her
marriage, makes this request: "Please send no
gifts."
The pleasant custom of holding up the
friends of the "contracting parties" goes along
with Christmas presents and the tipping system,
as something everybody submits to and nobody
likes. It's simply been overdone.
Goodness knows it's a vast help to the young
couple, when father doesn't happen to have the
wherewithal: and bits of cut glass and pieces of
hammered silver are gratefully accepted as the
visible tokens of spontaneous joy. But the merry
habit does occasionally have a tendency to crowd
the mourners.
It won't be abolished. You can't abolish a
good thing. But it might be modified. And
brides who really don't need, to hold up their
friends to furnish a flat might follow this Phil
adelphia example and buy their own silver
ware and salad bowls. Binghampton Press.

Greeley, Neb., Nov. 14. To the
Editor of The Bee. The Bee'a Letter
Box column Is undoubtedly one of
lta moat Interesting features. The
Issue of November 8, which contains
a letter from Central City on "A
Teat for Laws," brings this rather
forcibly to mind.
The writer of that letter would
make a valuable member of a law
making body, were he supported by
enough of his kind, but unfortu
nately we are yet too far from the
millenlum for that to happen.
The letter suggests a simplification
of the laws, which, of courae, la only
common sense. But would not that
be Its chief defect in the eyes of the
lawmakers? We all know that tho
laws on our statute books, both state
and national, have been put there by
lawyers. To them we are indebted
for our present Jumble of unintelli
gible, contradictory laws "that some
times the moat" able lawyer cannot
correctly interpret."
What Is the reason for this ad
mittedly poor work? We can hardly
ascribe it to ignorance, for the law
yer is supposed to be educated and
skilled in his profession.
Can it be that his remarkable suc
cess in making laws obscure and
contradictory is motived by a -leslre
to look out for No. 1, for it is very
evident that the fewer and simpler
the laws the less need there would-,
be for professional interpreters?
Is it not too much to expect thai
the lawyers, who constitute or
dominate the lawmaking bodies, will
strive for a condition that would
close half the lawyer factories of
the country? '
Obviously it Is not and will not as
long as they consider it their duty or
business, like Belial, to make the
worse appear the better reason.
Until the lawyer looks at his pro
fession from a different viewpoint it
will, I fear, be a waste of time fnr
"citizen" to suggest much needed re
forms. MICHAEL. O'CONNOR.

of The Bee: "Without the dotting of

Our little senator has several
guesses coming when he measures
up the patriotism of the American
people by his own limited amount.
All hail to Georgia, to Missouri, to
Massachusetts and the other loyal
states that had Americans on the
senate floor, that refused by their
votes to take instructions for the
future guidance of American affairs
from the British House of Parlia
ment. This is not a one-man's oun
try nor does it need a league of for
eign tongues to direct out future.
We were born alone, grew to our
present greatness alone and fully ca
pable of managing our own affairs.
Greetings to all those American sen
ators that honored themselves by
lasting their votes to maintain the
precedents of their country by refus
ing to form any entanglinjr alliances.

one of things lying around the
house. Let's try it.
"First, we need nine arches. Get
the largest wire hairpins you can
find and bend them like this (see
picture). To make them stand up,
mould some feet for them of putty
or gum. You can harden this quick
ly bv placing the finished arches on
the kitchen range, with the asbestos
cover under them.
"Or we might make the feet for
the arches out of little pieces of ci
gar box wood, with holes in them
for the ends of. the hairpins. You
can't bore such a hole without split
ting the wood, but you can burn it
with a nail heated red hot in the
kitchen range. Handle the nail with
pinchers or drive it through a piece
of wood to form a handle.
"For the two end posts, get a
small spool, saw it in two across
the middle to make two standards.
The easiest way to saw the spool is
to hold a fine crosscut saw between
your knees, take the spool in both
hands and move it back and forth
over the saw teeth. The posts
should be made two inches high and
whittled to fit into the spool bases.
"Whittle the heads of the mallets
about half inch in diameter and one
and one-half inches long. Fit Ioiir,
thin handles into them by burning
or boring holes. For balls we can
use peas or small marbles.
"Set the posts nd arches as
shown in the diagram and give each
player a ball and mallet. Each
player, in turn, places his ball back
of arch No. 1 and, with his mallet,
drives it through the arches in tin
order shown by the numbers. On
shot for each turn, but every tinn
you succeed in i driving the ball
through the arch at which you an

After a bully-good
dinner
After a bang-up meal, a smooth-
smoking Meditation just tops eff
in fine style. It affords thirty
minutes of solid comfort before the
afternoon work begins.
The skillful blend of fine, mild
Havana gives a delicate taste and
subtle aroma that makes one
hungry for another Meditation.
Meditations lead in popularity. Try
'one of these quality cigars and
see why.
