Insurance Denied the Cause
Quite the queerest outcome of prohibition
is the determination' of the insurance companies
that they cannot afford any longer to permit
specific meSTion in their policies of wines and
liquors accumulated and held in stock by in
dividual owners in order to mitigate the dry
ness of the times or to defer the awful day of
total desiccation. -Experience, it seems, has
taught these companies that the theft of such
stores has become so frequent that there is no
possibility of profit in such insurance, and the
strong implication is that it is too much to ex
pect, human nature being what it is,' that the
temptation which surrounds these necessarily
rather ill-arnarded treasures should be resisted.
In other words, they are sure to be stolen by
somebody, for either consumption or sale, and
so they constitute a "risk" as bad 'as certain
buildings of the firetrap order, on which no in
surance company will take chances at any price.
It is intimated, too, that the stealing of these
stores is often what the police call an "inside
job." against which there is practically no pro
tection at all, so far as an insurance company is
concerned. i
,The plausibility of these statements or ac
cusations must be admitted, for much value in
small extension and conveniently portable lies
in almost any of the departed or departing var
iants of portable alcohol. Always they have
tentied to create moral confusion, and it is not
surprising that now they do it more than ever.
There is a reason for tear, however, that this
determination of the insurance companies will
have one deplorable effect it will make the
owners of the too precious stores "save" them
by drinking them in passionate and violent
haste. New York Times,
UNCLE SAM, COAL MINER.
The first and most important business be
fore the government is to relieve the fuel situa
tion. After mines are in operation and plenty
of coal to meet the nation's requirements is
being furnished, plenty of time may be taken
to determine who is responssible for the re
markable condition that exists.. Just now there
is a tendency, natural enough, on part of oper
tors and miners alike to shift the blame to the
other. It is quite probable there is blame
enough attached to both sides ta) keep them
busy explaining for quite a while when the time
comes.
Commissioner Garfield talks bravely enough
about not allowing either to profiteer. This
will be worth while if it is only put into effect.
The unfortunate fact Is that during 'the war
he did permit profiteering by both operators
and miners, under guise of stimulating produc
tion. If he can lay this ghost now, and get the
coal out of the ground and into the cellars and
the bunkers of the country, much may be for
given him. ,
What counsel the miners will rely on can
scarcely be gussed at Acting President Lewis
reiterates that theoretically there is no strike.
His mood may change, and he may give the
assistance that can come from him better than
from any other just now in solving the problem.
It is also within the limit of likelihood that
a considerable number of the men will break
away from the position they have taken, and go
to work in redemption of a duty they owe. the
country. In a like manner the operators may
resume, as far as possible production: A sig
nificant remark on part of Mr. Lewis deserves
a-little attention. He said he would give no
consent to the starting up of a few mines, but
that work must be provided for all, If this
means anything, it may be taken as assent to a
general resumption of work, and if it can be so
reasonably interpreted, the end of the strike is
in sight '
Seizure of mines by the government is only
looked for where no effort is made to start up
work. But it is now clearly up to the Wash
ington authorities to do whatever is necessary
to get coal for the heeds of the public.
Future Trade With Germany.
One of the lamentations of the administra
tion group over the failure of the treaty to re
ceive endorsement is that the United States has
no consular agents in Germany. Permission to
trade hase been given, but the dealers are left
without protection of the government in the
ordinary way. Another group, composed prin
cipally of bankers, sets out' that unless Ger
many is permitted to buy and selL. to produce
and gain a profit, payment of huge indemnities
will be impossible. These call attention to the
fact that Germany is not for the moment a
formidable competitor. Loss of man-power in
cident to war and to the lowered vitality of the
nation, because of disease and improper food,
lessened productivity of the soil, destruction or
seizure of merchant marine, disruption of the
internal transport service. of the empire, and
similar causes all operate against German pro
ductive power. "
Admitting all this without argument, another
and more important phase of the situation must
have American attention. Prior to the war we
bought of Germany only such things as might
have been produced at home. Exigencies com
pelled us to turn to certain neglected industries
and. make for :ourselves articles and com
modities previously imported. In this list
chiefly figures chemicals, dye stuffs, cutlery and
certain forms of glass. All these are now made
in America, of excellent quality and fully "fet
ing requirements, with assurance of continued
progress. Why should America give over their
own activity in! order that German industry
may be' restored?. ;,
Neither hatred nor rancor enters into this.
The restoration of the German nation to use
fulness is a welcome prospect, but the future
well-being of our own people demands that we
continue .to produce and to sell, to vigorously
compete in the world's markets, and to retain
our own for our own. Germany may attain
again the position of a first class power, po
litically and economically, but it should not be
brought about at the expense of American in
dustry. ' 1 '
Borah Scores a Bullseye.
, It is purely a work of love on part of Sena
tor Borah to lay out a program for the ap
proaching session of congress, yet his labor will
not be in vain if it gets the attention it de
serves. His principal plea is for attention to
American affairs. Rehabilitation of the na
tion's railroad system, wrecked through politics
and incompetent administration, is under way,
and to it congress must give the greatest care..
The Idaho statesman also says that people
have been "taxed into bolshevism." This state
ment ma be taken at slightly less than its face
value, and yet the truth is that the burden of
taxation rests heavier than ever on Americans.
If the money secured by the government were
entirely required for the legitimate and proper
purpose of administering public affairs, no com
plaint, would be made. The people submitted
to the novel and tremendous levies made dur
ing the war because they were told it was
necessary to victory. Now it is being made
plain that enormous sums we're wasted not only
through extravagance, but incompetence and in
many places bare-faced, graft dug deep holes
into the national exchequer.
' These things are to be .corrected as far as
possible. The last democratic congress made
the tax levy for one year beyond its life, in
'suring the continuance of high taxes and per
mitting extension of the lavish expenditure in
dulged while the war was on. Chairman Cum
mings defends his party's course by the lame
excuse that it was "patriotic," and condemns
efforts of the republicans to uncover .evidences
of the mismanagement of public affairs by the
.democrats, asserting that the inquiries are "par
tisan." As the truth is coming to view, the demo
cratic dread of investigation is better under
stood. It is not merely politics, but a genuine
public duty that now leads on the republicans,
and Borah has pointed the course plainly.
"Pussyfoot" Johnson has paid with his right
eye for the fun some riotous students sought
to have at his expense. He will be able to see
his way through' a long fight against John Bar
leycorn with his remaining'optic, however, and
England will come to know him better in time.
Efforts to connect the I. W. W. and the
Omaha riots might be looked upon as other
than visionary, had the grand jury been able to
connect any well known "wobblies" with the
outbreak.
Character Building ,
Frorp. the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
t A young man ' recently arrested for forgery
gives as excuse that "things did not so good for
him," and seems to cling to the idea that he is
a victim of circumstances rather than of his own
acts. Briefly, his history as he tells it is that
his family in the east is fairly well to do. He
received as good an education as he was willing
to take or study for. He passes over his failure
at home, which his history here indicates, and
says that while here on business for his father
he met a girl and in a week married hef under
an assumed name. 'Apparently he forgot all
about that business for his father in his new
identity. He got a job and lost it, got another
job and lost it, then forged three checks and
went to another city, where he got still another
job and lost it All this is "tough luck" from his
point of view. He is like other less educated,
and for that reason perhaps less culpable, law
breakers, who declare they "never had no
chance" in a country where thousands of our
most successful and wealthy business men had
no better chance than they.
This young man had at least three jobs after
he was married, with the added urge of family
responsibility to cause him to make good, in
cluding before the end a ba&y, and yet he could
not keep them. He could not satisfy at least
three different employers that he was worth re
taining on the payroll,' in spite of having a
good enough education to keep him there if he
had possessed enough moral fiber without which
education is valueless except as an aid to dis
coverings more ways of getting into trouble. He
had a better educational equipment for success
than thousands upon thousands of young men
who are making good in every avenue of human
effort, some of them on their way clear to the
top. He lacked the most important qualifica
tion of all for business success moral fiber.
His failure was of : his own causing j directly.
Indirectly there, were other causes and respons
ibilities. Lack of old-fashioned home life and old
fashioned home discipline is respsonsible for
much of the noticeable absence of a sense of
responsibility in the present young generation.
Our recent military experience has shown, or
should make us realize, the value of discipline
in developing the sense of responsibility, cul
tivating reliability and stiffening the moral fiber
in young men. But the average age of 20 years
is late for the beginning of such development.
There is no age too early for its beginning.
When it begins early; its success is assured.
When its begins late it is not assured and at
best cannot reach the perfection of the earlier
beginning. It is evident that the best place tor
discipline and training to develop character is
the home, and, just as the home loses disciplin
ary character and home atmosphere and be
comes easy-going and unhomelike, itsT work of
character building is impaired, and the result is
worse for the children who grow up in it Our
present-day civilization has ,in it much less of
this genuine home life than existed half a cen
tury ago, and we are paying for it with a larger
proportion of young men with -flabby char
acters. Thisis a great fact which must be faced. It
is an existing condition which cannot be blinked.
Nor can it be changed by merely pointing out
its existence. It is a great national tendency
which only some other tendency can counteract.
That counteracting tendency must be an in
crease in the number of homes of genuine
Christian atmosphere and parental discipline,
instead of the decrease that has for some time
been going on. While this is being done, and at
all times, because perfection in that respect can
not be expected, there should be a strengthen
ing of the character-building influences and
agencies which affect the lives of boys and
young men outside their homes. Contribu
tions of personal service and of money to the
operation and , support of such agencies con
stitute the finest sort of patriotism and philan
thropy. A much larger devotion of public at
tention and public funds to that sort of work
would be a wise act for the preservation of our
American institutions by assuring the right kind
of citizens into whose hands to entrust them.
We need in our work of character-building for
the youth now with us and those to follow them
a strengthening of home influence and disci
pline, and as well we neeti an increase in, the
number and strength and intensity of work of
those character-building' influences, outside the
home, which supplement home training and be
come the only substitute for it when it is lack
ing. The strength of a nation lies in character
more than in education. We have been paying
too great proportional attention to education.
We must increase largely the more important
factor of character building. ,
Motion Pictures and Personal
, Right
The rights of the individual in the matter of
pictorial representations of his face receive a
new interpretation in the decision of the appel
late division of the supreme court in the Humis
ton case that the exhibition of a motion picture
cannot be enjoined because some person whose
features are shown in the picture objects. Such
personal rights, if rights they really are, have
been variously modified tinder the vogue of
photographic art Before the motion picture
camera, which has shown no regard for persons
from the first, they necessarily give way to the
superior claims of the multitude to be amused
or instructed. Kings enjoy no special privilege
in the social equality of the films, and other
people who are in any sense public characters
earn) expect no immunity. ;
As a matter of fact, have persons who
achieve sufficient publicity to make their acts
the subject of press reports any valid grievance
against the public exhibition of their pictures?
The analogy drawn between descriptive and
pictorial publicity in the decision appears per
fectly logical and just. The publicity in either
case is contingent on its fairness; there has
been no relaxation of the law's remedies against
misrepresentation.
Most people, indeed, may be supposed to
take no offense at the sight of their pictures
on the screen. They are, to be sure, in a hetero
geneous company, yet it is a world company.
The high and low are there, but not under
conditions prejudicial to a sensitive reputation.
As the penalties of publicity go, that of repre
sentation in the movies would seem to be a
mild one. New York World.

v Not From South Side.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. 26. To the
Editor of The Bee: In reading the
report of the grand Jury I found
that they made the statement that
the mob that killed the negro
(Brown) and burned the courthouse
started from the South Side.
We who live in that part of Oma
ha that was formerly South Omaha
want to refute the statement that
the mob started from the South Side,
for it started, as every one knows,
from the vicinity of Gibson and
Clontarf, being a number of miles
from old South Omaha. i.
Before we were annexed - to
Omaha there was some discussion as
to what would be the proper name
to this part of Omaha, and I think
i can claim the honor of first sug
gesting the South Side. I suggested
that title some weeks before the
election was held on the question of
the consolidation of the two cities
and that is what we call It down
here now.
From the names of the parties
arrested in connection with the
work of the mob, I could find but
very few that came .from the South
Side.
The mfstake of the grand Jury
may have come from the fact that
not one of them came from the
South Side, and I do not think any
of them came from as far south as
Leavenworth street ,
There has been less of crimes
committed on the South Side since
we were annexed to Omaha than at
any time in the past and we can
boast of being the model part of the
city of Omaha today.
So I think It will be well for the
Omahha papers to publish the fact
that the mob did not come from the
South Side at all and that very few
people of the South Side took any
part in the mob.

In a silver dress.
And great gray owla (law low
With a ewltt rareaa
to tha tall white lilies'
Saintly loveliness.
I Ash-gray the rosea peered
O'er her window all);
Straight dared her candle-flame
In night so still
She heard a far-uff clock.
Chiming olear and chill.
She heard tha placid aea
On tha beach below,
Lapping, lapping softly.
Crawling, crawling alow;
While on tha glltt'rlng lawn
Harea leaped to and fro.
Sudden, the poplar treea
Gave a dreaming algh.
Shaking their aparkllng leaves
In tha clondlees sky;
A waking cofk crowed ahrlll
And tha dawn drew nlah.
