duced gold, silver, copper, lead

What The Bee 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 corrup
tion in office.
4. Frank recognition and commendation
of honest and efficient public service.
5. Inculcation of Americanism as the true
oasis ot good citizenship.
Well, what do you know about that?
Bank robbery is another industry that needs
proper discouragement.
The public yet waits for the pleasant specta
cle of a profiteer on his way to jail.
Taxes worry the mine owners, but what the
world would like to see is more output.
The president now knows what chance he
lias of passing a treaty with no reservations.
Maybe the president ' can accept a non
resident membership in the League of Nations.
France is not worried over the failure of the
treaty to pass, so why should we fuss our
minds?
Mr. Wilson now knows how Mr. Tyler felt
when the senate disposed of the treaty to annex
Texas.
Uncle Sam is making preparations to put
the clamps on the lid, and the bibulous might
as well get ready for a long dry spell.
France has just elected "the most conserva
tive assembly since, 1871," and this may be
taken as a sign that the war sobered the people.
America may well follow this example.
Nothing could be more decisive than the re
jection of the treaty without reservations. Only
thirty-eight votes were registered for the docu
ment as submitted by the president This ought
to carry conviction even to a single-track mind.
A ballet dancer says Lenine is a cultured
gentleman, but misunderstood, and that the
bolsheviki are acquiring a taste for opera. It
is not Mr. Lenine's fault if he is misjudged
abroad, for he surely has done all that might
reasonably be expected of anyone to set the
public right as to his beliefs and purposes.
A study of the record made by the(session of
congress just closed shows that the members
. really did something besides talk. Several very
important laws were passed, and a lot of loose
ends the democrats ,Ieft were fastened and
made snug. Now watch the regular session
v get busy. I
Major General Chamberlain has one sapient
suggestion in. connection with any future war.
It Js that the charitable societies in connection
with the military establishment be conducted
under government control. If that had been
followed two years ago, a lot of present bad
feeling would have been avoided.
From Aurora, 111., comes a story that will
interest a lot of people who have time to think
of other things than the high cost of living. An
employe of the Burlington shops over there got
a rerating on the wage scale, received a large
check for back pay, and immediately chucked
.the job and put out for Florida to spend the
winter. Write your own moral.
Seeing the World
The United States marines who are keeping
bandits in Haiti on the run have not only
learned to act as mounted dragoons, but are
able to make bombs to be dropped from air
olanes on the mountain retreats of the robbers
who have so long infested the island. A native
. constabulary force ot asuu nas Deen organized
and has been efficiently trained bv American
'senreants. For the first time these natives are
wearing shoes and learning the value of disci
pline. Betore the world war nam was in sucn
: financial confusion that several European coun
tries threatened to land forces, a proceeding
that would not have worked well for the Mon
roe doctrine. In 1914 our marines took posses
' sion of the main Haitian port, not without some
sharp fighting, and have since maintained order.
A United States treasury agent has charge of
f the custom house at Port au Prince. Interest
on the public debt is now paid promptly, and
' various improvements for the common benefit
? are going forward. The bandits who formerly
were bribed from the customs revenue are no
. longer the actual governing force.
Within the last tew years American marines
have fought as infantry in France and have
been in action from frozen Archangel to the
tropical islands of the West Indies. Hundreds
Of thousands of young Americans who had nev
er been far from home have since crossed the
seas and become familiar with distant lands. A
recruit in the navy or marine corps of the
United States is in a fair way to be a circum
navigatorl Haiti is another example of Uncle Sams
helpful influence on troubled neighbors. St

PUBLIC, COURTS, AND PRESS.
Disclaiming any appearance of intent to im
pede justice or to obstruct the courts in ' their
freedom of action, The Bee feels impelled to
comment on a situation that has arisen.
When an individual is accused of a crime,
he stands before the public under a stigma. Has
he a right to disclose in advance of his trial
any information of which he is possessed that
would tend to exculpate him and restore him to
good reputation, or must he rest quietly under
the odium laid upon him jintil his case has been
passed upon by the court? Is the rule of law
in all free countries to be reversed, and the ac
cused to be looked upon as guilty until he has
proven himself innocent?
If the defendant has a right to set himself
before the world in a better light, by indicating
in anticipation of trial something of the defense
on which he relies, may he not be permitted to
use the newspaper for that purpose? Or is the
press to be restricted in its expressions and
limited to the publication of the fact that a
certain man has been accused of committing a
certain offense, thus adding to the imposition
set upon him by the authorities, and denying to
him any right of explanation to which both he
and the public is entitled?
The independence of the judiciary must be
maintained, but we submit that it can not be
maintained at the expense of throttling the
press.' When the newspapers are muzzled, and
defendants are denied any access to the public
ear pending a trial, a door to a most dangerous
state has been opened. Courts, like newspapers,
are human institutions, and judges are as prone
to err as editors.
Above courts and newspapers is the people,
to whom both the others are responsible. The
newspaper only justifies its right to exist when
it faithfully aerves the interest of the public.1
and it can not do this if the court arbitrarily
places a bar on the proper function of the press.
Free press and free speech are the safeguards of
our liberty, the support of our institutions, as
precious and as necessary as the independent
judiciary, and whatever tends to destroy the
one must inevitably react on the other.
McC.
Where Does the Treaty Stand?
Failure of the treaty of Versailles to receive
a vote of ratification from the United' States
senate was made certain when the president
sent his letter, tantamount to an order, to the
democrats, asking that they vote to reject the
measure with reservations. f
Three votes were taken, each on a different
proposal, and in each a substantial majority was
registered against the treaty. Not only did it
fail each time to receive the two-thirds vote
necessary for ratification, but neither time was
a majority cast for it. It is within Mr. Wilson's
power to withdraw the treaty from the senate
at once, otherwise it is dead. The president
will very likely save the document by his only
recourse. -
How to analyze the result is perplexing in
the extreme. Several of the committee reserva
tions were adopted bv" more than two-thirds
vote, and all of them' had a majority vote.
When the test came, enough of the senators
voted to undo their own work to entirely de
feat it. This is hard to explain.
About the only justifiable conclusion is that
the president sadly mistakes the temper of the
senate, which feels it has the support of the
American people. The great wave of support
for the League of Nations, artificially stimulated
by a tremendous campaign of well-directed pro
paganda, participated in by the president him
self, has receded, seemingly, and the sober re
flection of the public has left it lukewarm if not
actually hostile to the league. Withdrawal of
the treaty at this time may bring it back to
tire senate again at the coming session, when a
way will be found to permit the United States
to participate in the peace that is to follow, and
to take its proper share in the international
tribunal that seems to be so desired by all.
Finally, it is impossible to view the outcome
as anything but the natural result of the course
adopted by the president in connection with the
peace negotiations. Senator Underwood's at
tempt to make the majority party in the senate
a scapegoat for the executive is very weak.
Senators resent dictatorial announcements from
the White House, but beyond this they have a
duty laid on them by the constitution. This
duty the majority accepted, and discharged with
patriotic fidelity. If any blame must be fixed
on individuals, it will rest on the president and
the democratic group who follow him blindly
in all his imperious moods.
Farmers and Good Government
Two salient points in the resolutions adopted
by the Nebraska Farmers' Co-operative Grain
and Live Stock association must arrest the at
tention of the thoughtful. First, that the Plumb
plan is condemned by them. Second, that they
discountenance "contentions and strikes that
disturb peace and halt prosperity," pledging aid
to the government in its efforts to support law
and order, and calling for a square deal for both
capital and labor.
This association is fairly representative of
the solid agricultural element of the state's
citizenship, and its stand on these matters will
voice in a large sense the sentiment of all the
farmers. Its significance lies in the fact that
the expression comes after a persistent and in
tensive campaign on part of the Townley crew
to sow discord and dissension among the farm
ers. The Plumb plan particularly has been
recommended to them and their support for it
eagerly sought. Its rejection may be taken as
carrying with it most of the problem for public
ownership and state socialism advocated by
the radicals.
The farmers are not opposed to payment of
good 'wages for good work. Their sympathy for
labor has always been keen, for they know that
only when other industries are prosperous and
workmen in cities have means to buy food can
the producers of food look ior a favorable mar
ket. But they are like others who think, op
posed to senseless stoppage of work , while
furious debates are carried on over trivial
causes. As to the support of the government,
the loyalty of the Nebraska farmers, as a class
was never in question. It is encouraging, though,
at all times that such assurance be given.
Another thing not mentioned in the resolu
tions, but important to know is that the farm
ers of this state are actively planning for an
other great campaign for food production, to
add to the world as they have for many years
past, another half-billion pf material wealth,
drawn from the soil by industrious toil intelli
gently directed.
What 48 Coolidges Would Do
From the New York World.
"It is an amazing thing," says the president
of Columbia university, "that after 125 years
there should appear the necessity of redefining
Americanism." Why is it an amazing thing?
Every generation has defined Americanism for
itself, and the country still belongs to the living,
not to the dead. )j
' Even Nicholas Murray Butler would not ac
cept the Americanism of 125 years ago, with its
human slavery, with its denial of manhood suf
frage, with its property and religious' qualifica
tions for voting, with its indentured servants
and with all the class privileges that it sought
to maintain. Americanism has been revolution
ized in the last 125 years, and it will undoubtedly
be revolutionized again in the next 125 years.
The country is now passing through a period
of great economic and industrial unrest which
in turn is causing more or less political unrest.
Much of it is the direct product of the war and
must be dealt with accordingly. Neither the
bolsheviki nor the I. W. W. have created it, al
though they are busily engaged fn trying to
capitalize it, in the attempt, by violence and
otherwise, to fasten upon the United States a
new system of class government.
It is futile to try to deal with this situation
merely by a policy of repression. After all the
alien bolsheviki have been deported and all the
I. W. W. chased from one town to another, as
the practice is in the west, we shall be right
where we started unless an intelligent attempt
is made to arrive at an understanding of the
causes of the discontent
It is not the discontent of people who are
starving or who are even hungry. It is not the
discontent of people who are oppressed by gov
ernment except in so far as prohibition contrib
utes to it. It is rather the discontent of people
who in spite of the most jvidely distributed ma
terial prosperity are profoundly dissatisfied with
an economic system that they regard as unfair,
and who are blindly groping toward something
different which they cannot clearly define.
What is going on in the United States is
going on everywhere else. It is one of the in
evitable consequences of a war that has unset
tled all the old foundations of society. When we
stop to consider that a year after the armistice
was signed there is still no peace and that not a
single measure of reconstruction has been
adopted by congress, the wonder is that condi
tions are no worse.
So far as the accompanying manifestations of
lawlessness and violence are concerned, some
thing can possibly be done by the federal gov
ernment, but every state in the union has ade
quate powers to deal with every offense against
its peace and dignity. There was one kind of
Americanism prevalent 125 years ago which may
still be commended to every governor, every
sheriff, every mayor and every police official. In
those days the states did not run to the national
capital shrieking for assistance every time there
was a riot or a shooting or a defiance of their
constituted authority. They enforced their own
laws and they preserved their own peace and
thev dealt with their own criminals. They were
self-governing states in every sense of the term,
and if the 48 states today had enough gumption
to govern themselves the country would have
nothing to fear from bolsheviki or I. W. W. or
communists or syndicalists or any other advo
cates of revolution by "direct action."
Forty-eight Coolidges properly distributed
among the state capitals would settle every
question of law and order, and the economic
fermentation of the country could be safely left
to clarify itself.
Fire Losses Mounting
The losses by fire in the United States and
Canada for September reached a total of $29,
083,500. according to figures compiled by the
Journal of Commerce. This sum is more than
double the total for the same month in the two
preceding years. Its size is due partly to a
few unusually large conflagrations which oc
curred last month and also in part to higher
property values.
During the first nine months of this vear
property to the value of $204,825,075 has been
destroyed, by fire in the United States and
Canada as compared with $213,470,585 for the
same months last year and $194,330,365 for the
first nine months. of 1917. . Property destruc
tion during September exceeded, with few ex
ceptions, the figures for any month during the
war when industries were working under great
pressure and when enemy incendiarism was a
factor. September's heavy toll may therefore
be considered as a return bv the nation to its
proverbial carelessness with the addition of
considerable lawlessness. As an example of
this, the destruction of the court house at
Omaha involving a loss of $1,100,000 may be
cited. Indianapolis Star, f

In ancient times the interesting job of run

job through circumstance of birth; and only

Democracy, majority, the reign of mass and

on the job; and Harley Moorhead's mission is
to see that nothing raw is pulled in the elec

every voter, though retiring and refined, is
given opportunity to register his mind.
He names election judges and appoints
election clerks, for he'svthe head and summit of

in voting is unquestioned, safe and sure, that
figures which assume toj be the worthy people's

However well you fill your job in public

Embeiilement
J. D. Is a guarCIan of an estate
of a minor guilty of embezzlement
where he converts part of the min
or' property to his own use. Fart
of tha money converted belonged to
the guardian for services and com
mission which he had a right to
withhold.
Answer When a guardian has
converted his ward's money to his
own use, the fact that he would be
justly entitled to a portion of the
money so converted aa, commission
and for compensation for services is
not a complete defense to a prosecu
tion for embezzlement
Ejectment.
R. E. S. My father borrowed a
considerable sum of money from me
and put me Jn possession of his farm
with the understanding and agree
ment that I should have possession
until the money was repaid. I was
in possession for many years before
my father died, but no settlment
was ever made. Can my brothers
and sisters recover possession of this
property without paying me the
amount that is due.
Answer When the oVner of real
estate is Indebted to his son for
money loaned and puts the son In
possession of real estate upon the
mutual understanding and agree
ment that the son shall have the
possession and use of the land until
settlement between them, and after
many years the fathjer dies without
having made such settlement, the
devisees and heirs of the father will
not be allowed to recover possession
of the land without accounting for
and paying the amount due the son.
Divorce and Alimony.
C. P. My husband and I have
been living separate for several
years and at the time we separated
we divided the property, he receiv
ing the income from his portion and
I receiving the Income from my por
tion. Recently I concluded to sue
for a divorce. Is the prior contract
made with reference to the division
of the property binding or can the
court make some other disposition
of the property? ......
Answer The contract Is not bind
ing upon the court and in entering
a decree of absolute divorce he can
make such disposition of the property-
as he finds will be Just and
equitable.
Marriage,
p. H. Can a court declare a mar
riage contract void on account of
insanity or idiocy of one pf the par
ties? Answer It cannot except for such
want of understanding of such party
as to render him or her incapable of
assending to the marriage contract.
- Marriage.
H. S. Is a common law marriage
valid under the laws of the state of
Nebraska.
Answer A common law marriage
while criminal under our statutes is
just as valid a marriage as if solem
nized under all the forms of law,
usage and custom, and is followed
by exactly the same results.
Money Received.
R. Tj. If money is paid to an at
torney at law upon a claim of a
third party, and the attorney so re
ceives and receipts for the same, can
he withhold the money from the
creditor upon whose claim it was
paid upon the ground that he is also
a creditor of the person paying the
money.
Answer He cannot.

P. H. T-i. I bought a stock of gen
eral merchandise and in the sale it
provided that the good will
go with the business. A short time
afterwards the seller started up n
business in the same town and in

Around the Garage.
By 3. H. MILLAR.
"We don't want any boys around
this garage," growled Mr. Tompkins
of the Standard Motor company,
they are just as likely as not to
run one of the cars away or take
off half the engine to see what the
other half looks like."
"What boy did you say did that?"
inquired Mr. Peyton as he stepped
into his seven-passenger machine.
"None, we never gave one a
chance."
Perhaps Mr. Tompkins was right
and again perhaps he wasn't. Never
theless, there are a whole lot of
boysthe boys that will someday
be the engineers and managers of
the country's industries who know
much more about engines, me
chanics, and motors, than the very
men who own and drive the cars.
Such boys are the ones who should
look for work "Around the Garage."

and thus gradually learn about the

What One Fellow Did.
Mr. Peyton, the man Who was not
skeptical about boys, had tried one.
Harry Jackson lived on a side street
a few blocks back from the Peyton
residence. Two summers before,
when on warm evenings Mr. Peyton
would be tinkering around the gar
age, Harry would saunter up the al
ley and stand with his hands in his
pockets watching. After a while
he became better acquainted. He
helped wash or dust the machine)
fill the radiator, and do other odd
jobs just for the fun of it.
The next summer Harry was em
ployed as handy man. After school
started he still kept the job. He
had to keep it, because he had be
come such a valuable help that Mr.
Peyton couldn't do without him. He
saved many dollars in garage bills.
These frosty days are days when
there is much to do around a gar
age. Look for itl

"Kickers" On a Locomotive.
BT GRANT M. HTDE.
"What are those 'kickers' on the
side of the drive wheel of a railroad
locomotive, dad those rods that
kick up and down outside the big,
heavy driving rod?"
"They are part of the valve-mechanism
that opens and closes the
valves to let steam into the cy
linders. To understand them, you
must know what makes a locomo
tive run.
"The engines of a locomotive are
the big cylinders that you see on
each side just below the boiler
right back of the cowcatcher. Each
of these engines is a big cylinder,
like one of the cylinders in an auto
engine, and inside is a piston that
is pushed back and forth by steam
as it is let into one end or the
other back and forth there is a
system of valves just above the cy
linder. When the engineer opens
the throttle, the steam goes through
the valve that is open, and pushes
the piston one way; then that valve
closes, the other opens, and the
steam pushes the piston back.
"A piston rod, working through
the end of the cylinder, and the
heavy drive rods cause the big
drive wheels to turn as the piston
is pushed back and forth. The two
engines on each side of the locomo
tive work together because the
drive wheels are fastened solidly to
their axles and one cannot turn
without the other. The escaping
steam puffs out through the smoke
stack and you can picture the mov
ing pistons by counting the puffs
four puffs for each time the wheels
go around, since each of the two
engines puffs twice to turn the
wheels once and they do not work
together.
"On old-fashioned engines you
could not see the rods that opened
and closed the steam valves, for
they were underneath out of sight
A new system of valve mechanism,
adopted about a dozen years ago,
consists of rods fastened to the out
side of the driving wheels, and these
are the 'kickers' that you see mov
ing up and down.
