What The Bee Standi 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 corrup
tion in oriice.
4. Frank recognition and commendation
of honest and efficient public service.
.5. Inculcation of Americanism as the true
basis of good citizenship.
Chicago will remain dry perhaps.
Agitation against the skip-stop system is
again heard. What. Omaha needs is more cars.
"Tom" Marshall is about to find out that it
is more trouble to make a ruling stick than it is
to announce it.
Nebraska eggs go direct to New York and
sell for 86 cents a dozen, one of the beauties of
the parcels post.
The man who prophesied that the Dodge
street grading would take all winter knew whajt
he was talking about.
The polite burglar is on his rounds again.
He is quite as effective as the roughneck, too,
and apparently more elusive.
From the number of cooks taking a hand in
the preparations, the new mess of railway
broth ought to be a marvel.
Burglars are now using auto trucks to carry
away their loot, showing how the science has
progressed along with industry.
The president certainly knows how to be
firm when it comes to his dealings with the
senate. His treaty or none is all he asks.
Carranza has lifted the lid on bull-fighting
in Mexico, but this will now check the throw
ing he has been doing towards Washington.
, The drys are planning a great celebration
for January. Think what a jamboree it would
have been if the verdict had gone the other way!
Guests of the Omaha police force will have
to put up with lesser accommodations than
were contemplated, but the ride will be just as
exhilarating and the judge quite as severe.
Twenty-five thousand empty beer bottles
sold by the sheriff at auction brought $400, but
think what he might have got had he not
poured out their contents ahead of the sale.
Rescuing exposed wheat from the weather
in western Nebraska is a great game, but the
railroad administration is doing well in its
practice. ,
Only half of the potato crop will reach mar
ket becriise of lack of facilities for handling.
The answer ought to be plain. Until a better
way of doing things is found, prices will always
be high and food scarce.
Coal miners who are trying to freeze the
nation into surrender may succeed, but they
will find a hereafter hotter than any fire ever
kindled from coal. Public patience with "red"
unreason is about exhausted.
Europe does not like the senate's attitude on
the treaty, but it was not expected that any
effort would be made to suit the political tastes
of our friends across the water. The senate is
far more interested in how its actions will af
fect Americans.
Money Is Not W ealth
Broker William F. Fitzgerald of Boston,
chairman of the democratic prosperity commit
tee of Massachusetts, read his fellow democrats
a wholesome lesson in a recent newspaper in
terview, giving his reasons why he bolted Long
and supported Coolidge. He says:
"When an individual faces life with a be
lief that he can get something for nothing he
courts ruin.
"Everybody is intent on making money and
not creating wealth.
"Money is not wealth, and unless all men
are willing to work and work hard, there can
be no prosperity and no safety for the Amer
ican people.
"Today a man to be a machinist needs only
a union card; ten years ago he had to read a
, blueprint.
"The drones with money are more danger
ous than those without money. Production is
needed the world over. The nation needs men
-who can create real wealth; but money mad
ness is nation madness and evasion of work
'.$ invitation to poverty.
"The man who hates work is a thief. In
competence is theft
"The people gave Calvin Coolidge 124,000
plurality because they knew he represented un
diluted honesty. This aroused understanding
must be maintained. -
"When the people understand the need for
work and demand that men in positions of po
litical trust shall be honest and competent,
then shall we have a strong nation and a safe
one." Wall Street Journal.
FINAL VOTE ON THE TREATY.
. Matters are moving rapidly at Washington,
steadily shaping to the final vote on the treaty
as modified by the explicit reservations made
by the senate. It can not yet be told if a two
thirds vote will be forthcoming. The democrats,
led by Senator Hitchcock and under orders
from the Whh 5""r; re confident they will
have enough votes to defeat the ratification.
' Then, relying on the ruling made by the vice
president, the administration group expects to
bring forward its compromised plan. That
the president expects this program to win for
him, and to save his face through adoption of
"mild" reservations, has been made clear.
From Europe comes announcement that the
pact will be put into effect without regard to
the United States, in event the president pock
ets the treaty when sent back from the senate.
The effect of" this is not fully explained. It will
not be possible to bind the United States under
any of the objectionable clauses of the league
covenant. If our friends on the other side are
desirous of the presence of the American re
public in the super-council, they are now fully
advised as to conditions on which entry will be
made.
Another twenty-four hours will bring the
definite test between the views of the senators,
who are for America first, and the president,
whose world-vision includes home affairs only
as they are related to universe. Are we to re
tain our government at Washington, or transfer
it to Geneva?
Soft-Coal Mining a Seasonal Industry.
One of the points in connection with the soft
coal mining situation is that the mines do not
operate continuously. Dr. V. H. Manning, di
rector of the United States bureau of mines,
gives the information that for the five-year
period preceding 1917 the bituminous mines
were worked from 195 to 232 days each year;
in 1917 the busy period extended 243 days, and
in 1918, under abnormal war pressure, it
mounted to the peak of 249 days. Figures for
1919 are not available, but operators admit that
the time worked in the mines will fall far below
that of last year. Nor are these days consec
utive, so that the coal miner may have the
rest of the year for engaging in other em
ployment. His working time is strung over
the whole twelve months.
1 Primarily, this is due to the fact that soft
coal deteriorates when brought up from the
seam. Consumers are averse to carrying any
considerable stock ahead, because of the in
convenience of storage and the fact that the
coal breaks down, takes fire spontaneously, and
generally is not a desirable stock, save for im
mediate consumption. Producers are not eager
to provide at the mines any extensive storage
plants, preferring to leave the coal in the
ground until called for, and then to load direct
from the pit into the cars that are to haul the
fuel away.
Under these conditions, steady operation of
the mines is not possible, and soft coal miners
find themselves listed among the "seasonal"
workers, with the disadvantage that their sea
son is not well defined. Were means provided
whereby a surplus of coal could be brought to
the surface and properly stored, so that work
in the mines might be steady, a great deal of
the friction complained of -would be removed.
As it is, the lack of efficiency in producing and
handling bituminous coal is one of the biggest
items in our annual budget of waste.
Guaranty Not a Subsidy.
In the Esch bill to govern the railroads on
their return to corporate ownership, which has
been passed by the house, is a provision to con
tinue the government guaranty of income for
six months. This is much to the dislike of the
democrats, who oppose it as equivalent to pay
ing a subsidy to the roads.
Those who have followed the experience of
the government since it assumed management
of the transportation industry will more than
likely agree that the Esch plan is simply an act
of justice. So many violent changes in methods
of operation were made in the process of ad
justing the roads to unified control that even
to set them back to former conditions could not
be accomplished without laying a very heavy
burden of expense on the owners. This may be
intensified by the new law under which , future
doings of the railroads will be supervised and
regulated.
With this in view, it seems but reasonable
and just that the public should bear a portion
at least of the cost that will be entailed in the
transition. The railroads did not seek the situ
ation, and perhaps it wa3 not contemplated
when the government took hold. Many unex
pected problems were encountered, and a great
deal of expense was laid on the individual lines
in bringing them together. More will be in
curred in the course of separation.
Continuation of the government guaranty
then only amounts to the discharge of an obli
gation assumed when then the roads were taken
over. It will terminate within six months,
which is short enough time to allow for resump
tion of business by the restored lines, and will
be paid only to such lines as do not earn suf
ficient revenue. Viewed from any point, the
plan looks less like a subsidy and more like sim
ple justice than anything the democrats have
done.
Keeping the Country Dry.
Wets, who had relied on decisions in Rhode
Island and Kentucky federal courts for ending
the drouth, are being disappointed by decisions
given elsewhere. In New York and Chicago
they have met reverses, particularly in the de
cision of Judge Carpenter of Chicago, who care
fully reviews the war-time prohibition enforce
ment act and finds it wholly in the power of
congress. Relying on previous decisions, nota
bly that on which the Kansas prohibitory laws
rest, and which sustain the state in the exer
cise of the police power, the court finds that
congress, acting for the entire country, can ex
ercise similar power in its discretion. The pro
hibitory law, therefore, is good and enforceable,
despite the fact that General Pershing says the
army has been demobilized and the president's
pronouncement that the war is ended, made
when the Volstead act was vetoed.
Appeal has been taken to the supreme court,
which is not expected to act before the begin
ning of December, and thus the prospects for
a wet interim prior to the taking effect of the
federal amendment get less and less.
Persons who view the situation dispassion
ately find it quite interesting. A dry nation is
yet sufficiently novel to enlist the attention of
even its own people, and the process of keeping
the country dry is going to be watched closely
from all sides.
Ware You Get Zat Stuff?
From the Chicago Tribune. ,
With reference to the proposed alliance with
France for the defense of France President
Wilson said that we are under a debt to France
which can never be paid. General Pershing,
the popular story goes, stood before the monu
ment and said: "Lafayette, we' are here." Al
fred Capus, editor of Figaro, says that the
United btates is a laggard in duty.
We say: "For the love of Mike!" France
fought Great Britain in our revolutionary war
to deprive her hereditary enemy of her greatest
colonial possession and did it. A Bourbon
king made war on a German who sat on the
English throne to split his empire in two and
did it.
Generous Frenchmen, liberty-loving French
men, such as Lafayette, were among the in
struments used for this, but the effective in
strument was a monarchially controlled army
and navy, which did the bidding of empire for
the pay of empire.
It does not hurt the United States any to
accept the imperial work of a French king with
gratitude and not to look too closely at the
facts, but it will hurt to gro cl in complete de
nial of the facts. So nn-.ch for the debt to
Lafayette.
It France could have had any assurance in
1914 that she would have, as the result of the
war, what she now has she would have de
clared war on Germany. There nearly was a
a war over Algeciras when Germany threatened
to block French imperial progress in North
Africa. France and Germany have been in im
perial conflict since the year one. We seem to
forget that when the Franco-Prussian war be
gan Napoleon III was the dreaded military
despot of Europe and that Great Britain greeted
his overthrow with a diplomatic popular relief.
A danger had been removed from Europe.
France did not want the war with Germany
in 1914 because the French feared the outcome
and hated the struggle. Germany did want it
because the Germans were confident as to the
outcome and invited the struggle. If the
French had been confident they would have
welcomed it.
They wanted Alsace back. They have it.
They wanted the Germans pushed back of the
Rhine. They have them there. They wanted
to make Germany pay indemnities. The Ger
mans will pay. They wanted the Saar basin.
They have it. They wanted a free hand in
North Africa. They have it. The Germans,
for the time being, are where Frenchmen want
them to be and where they have fought for cen
turies to keep them and hold them.
For these results the French would have
fought any war at any time. They are on top
of the pile again in continental Europe and if
they will overcome their prudent thrift enough
to raise larger families they probably will stay
on top for another century.
At the moment when these benefits were
despaired illusions the United States began the
greatest movement of troops overseas that the
world ever knew. If the hundreds of thou
sands' sent had not been enough, millions and
millions would have followed them. Germany
was licked from April 6, 1917.
The United States did this for its own
safety. It preferred to fight a war in France
rather than fight one on the ocean or in the
United States. It knew it had to fight Ger
many and wisely preferred to fight with allies
rather than fight alone. It was a bit of rare
American wisdom.
We got what we went after. That was pro
tection from what would have been a certain
German menace. In getting what we wanted
we were directly instrumental in giving France
more than she dreamed she could get.
We supplied the men, which France did not
have. France supplied squipment, which our
men did not have. The United States gave
lives. France gave our soldiers guns.
France fills American imagination and af
fection. We like Frenchmen much better than
we like Englishmen, but we ask nothing what
ever of France or of any other part of the
world, and we owe France nothing and owe the
world nothing.
Our most conservative statesmen now are
merely -trying to hang onto things which
America has. No one is trying to get anything.
The United States is the only competent na
tion among the victors which is merely strug
gling to retain what it had before it made sac-rifices.-
With profound respect and much admiration
for' France, we must inquire: "Ware you get
zat stuff?" !

LOUIS CHARLES NASH.
The grand court ball of Ak-Sar-Ben is quite
a sight and scene, and here you meet the gen
tleman whose job's to pick the queen, surround
her with a bright bouquet of maiden bud and
bloom, a gay and smiling barrier to every sort
of gloom. A safe and solid guarantee of
diplomatic tact, that any mortal can perform so
perilous an act.
For Blondin with his tight-rope stroll along
Niag'ra's brim knew nothing of the near ap
proach to dangers fierce and grim, to luckless
steps which might offend a solid family's pirde
and make the stepper need a cyclone hole in
which to hide. But who can deal with- pride
in birth, in beauty, brains or cash with such
conspicuous success as Mr. L. C. Nash?
He used to run the street car lines, a fine
utility affording insufficient scope for his abil
ity; but now he steers a famous store where
people spend with speed, for still we try to find
and buy the things we think we need, although
the void which yawns and gapes between the
price and us is causing many husbands to
recalcitrate and cuss.
But those who spy a big supply of good and
valid cash may apprehend they'll find a friend
in Mr. Louis Nash. For in his charge he keeps
a large and widely varied pile of merchandise
to glad the eyes and make the owner smile.
Right here we cease this stately piece of "vel
vet hammer" verse. It makes you sad? Quite
so; it's bad, but other things are worse.

The League of Nations.
Omaha, (So.) Nov. 17. To
the Editor of The Bee: As a
former soldier and newspaper
man and now principal of
schools near Omaha, I want to ex
press my entire approval of the wise
and sensible attitude which your
paper has taken on the league of
nations covenant.
Now, as a matter of fact, we who
are opposed to the league covenant
in its present form are not viewing
the question from a narrow and
partisan standpoint. It is true, of
course, that during the war, Major
General Leonard Wood and Colonel
Roosevelt were kept at home; It is
also true that during the sittings of
the peace conference Mr. Taft and
Mr. Root were also left at home
when their advice would have been
of great value. Nevertheless, with
the exception of a very few repub
lican senators, the league covenant
could probably command support
provided there were ' four specific
and absolutely clear-cut reservations.
These four reservations provide
for the following: The equalization,
for all practical purposes, of, the
vote of each and every one of the
prreat powers in the league assem
bly; the right of these members of
the league to withdraw from the
lpfstiie with two years' notice; the
right of each member to decide for
;tse!f as to whether or not It will
at-'cepl a inundate; and, iRSt and
!i(st important of all. the right of
each and every member to decide
for itself as to whether or not it will
go to war.
The United States believes in a
league of nations. She stands rtady
to co-operate with France, Great
r.ritain, Italy and Japan in any
cause which is just and which her
own conscience tells here is just. She
will not, however, be blindly led Into
war, or surrender her fight to de
cide for herself aa to what her obli
gations are, or as to whether or not
she will order her young men to
Kive their lives In wars which can
not, dirrctly concern her.
America fought during the war in
trrder to strike down the militaristic
autocracy of Prussia, and. once the
issue was clear she hesitated not a
moment. Now that kaiserism is
struck down she does not propose,
however, to surrender herself, body
and soul to the dictates of an inter
national council. As every Ameri
can citizen should know, America
f-tanda for an honorable peace, and
for justice as between the nations of
the world. All she desires is that
she have the right to uphold ami
-protect the "principles which gave
her birth," and which made her
what she Is today, viz., the lriend
of mankind.

ADVENTURES -THAT

Hunting Eye Earns First Dollar.
By R. 8. ALEXANDER.
"See that snake?" asked the farm
er at whose well Hunting Eye had
stopped for a drink. "He's a big
dangerous one and I'd like to have
him killed, but if I throw at him
I'll missliim and he will get away."
The Indian boy had often helped
Swiftfoot hunt them, with stones
among the moss and leaves of the
Great North Woods. He took a
round stone and threw it at the big
black snake sunning itself on the
cement walk.
"Good," yelled the farnief.
"You've broke his back. That is
worth some money to me. Here
is a dollar."
"What is a dollar?" asked Hunt
ing Eye.
"People must have some thing by
which they can measure the value
of articles so that they may buy and
sell and exchange things quickly
and easily. Among your people this
ineaure is called wampum and Is
made of belts of beads. Anybody
is allowed to make it. With us it is
called money. It is made of gold,
silver and copper, three metals
which are very scarce.
"The government makes it.' It
casts these metals into coins like the
one I gave you. That is called
minting money. No one but the
government is allowed to mint
money. If everybody were allowed
to mint money there would be a
thousand different kinds of coins
and no one would know the value
of them. So the government makes
them according to a definite sys
tem. It makes a number of differ
ent kinds of coins but all the coins
of the same kind are alike and con
tain the same amount of metal.
"Each of these different kinds of
coins1 has a different value. The
one having the smallest value is a
penny. Ten of these make a dime,
and one hundred of them make a
dollar. That is what you have.
There are various other coins which
you will find out about for your
self as you use the money."
"What is the paper you have in
your hand?"
"That is paper money. The gov
ernment keeps some of the gold and
silver itself and issues this paper
money in its place. It also allows
banks to issue paper money on cer
tain conditions. This money does
not have any gold and silver behind
it. There is no paper money in
amounts lower than one dollar."

How About Nuts?

But stop a minute. Here is a new

than ,fun connected with nuts. To
know the edible things that grow
wild is an important part of Wood

ail wild foods. You could live a
long while on nuts. They take the
place of meat for a time and satisfy
ycur appetite while strengthening
ytur body, but some of them are
rather rich food. Our richest Amer- j
ican nut is the bfitternut. Do yon
know it, have you ever tasted it?
The butternut grows plentifully
in Ohio and farther south. It has
a wild flavor which is not liked by
every one and it is quite oily. Its
sliell is rough like the walnut, but
longer, not round, and the outer
husk is green and sticky. When you '
pound it the juice stains your hands I
Drtwn.
The small, three sided beechnut
h.'tS a most delicate flavor. It takes
a good many of these to satisfy a
heirty appetite. Between the but
ternut and beechnut, the largest and
smallest of our native wild nuts, are
t lie walnut, hickory nut, chestnut,
hazelnut and cliiuquipin. The chin
quapin grows only in the south.
