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. J. Inculcation of Americanism as the true basis of good citizenship. "East, west, name's best," these days. Keeping "banker's x hours" in Omaha just now is no sign one is a banker. D'Artnuuzio's antics on the Adriatic still at tract some notice, and may later on get fuller attention. It may be safe to predict that the 1st of December, 1920, will find coal bins and bunkers in Omaha well filled. ' , Louisville and New Orleans have both gone jdry again, but St. Louis and Kansas City have attractions for the thirsty. , ' A 10-pcr-cent increase in pay is the Christ mas gift awarded the packing house laborers. This ought to help thern a little. " v ' These 'are the days when the demand is greatest on The Bee's Free Shoe Fund. It is open to all, and "every little bit helps." . "B. L. T." suggests that some American bricklayer may buy that Russian imperial pearl necklace for his wife. A plumber may beat -him to it. Another settlement has been reached in the Fiyme matter, but as it does not decide who is to have the town, it will hardly be looked upoi as fieing final. University oi Nebraska students have volun teered to dig coal. They are willing to go to the mines to do it, not confining their activities to the parlor. The city council will devote 75 per cent of the coming dog tax to humane purposes. It might all go that way with little harm to any other fund. . ' Bids for erecting the new city jail show a wide variation in ideas on part of contractors. This does not indicate collusion, but does show ,how uncertain conditions are.- Senor Venustiano Carranza has been, warned for the last time from Washington. The next word will be congress, not the State department unless the administration changes its mind. Browning machine guns and army revolvers are all right in their way, but What the Omaha police force really needs is a couple of good ; strong burglar traps and a footpad detector. , Mr. Wilson expresses regret at his inability to visit the capilol to deliver his message in person. It might have cheered him to have . looked into the Honest, toil-worn faces of the hardworking members. ADVICE FROM THE PRESIDENT. Again Mr. Wilson has addressed the con gress, 'offering advice and suggestions as to the state of the union and with reference to what he conceives to be a prudent policy for the immediate future. Disappointment is due those who had ex pected specific and definite recommendations as' to how certain vexatious conditions are to be met. The president confines himself to gen eralities in his treatment of industrial and po litical problems, expressing views from which no dissent is taken, but giving no counsel, other than to be patient, as to how to remedy the critical situation. Referring' to the causes of unrest as superficial and not deep-seated, ascribing the turmoil to the presence of Eu ropean agitators, and asking for a continuation of the ineffective means already in the gov ernment's hands for controlling the social life of the country, he places final blame for all the trouble on "failure on the part of our govern ment to arrive speedily at a just and permanent peace, permitting return to normal conditions.? This presumably refers to the defeat of the peace treaty by the senate. ) His further reference to the relations be tween..this country and Europe brings up his free trade proclivities. In order that Europeans may, buy our goods and pay what they owe us. we must buy from them. This appears funda mental, .but it does not explain why we should open our home markets to foreign competition on equal terms with our own manufacturers. Why we should buy abroad those things we can make at home is not clear to the average citizen, however comprehensible the plan may be to the "international" mind. Americans may far better submit to deferred payment of the European debt than to surrender the richest market in all the world. , Treatment of the labor and returned soldier questions is the same vague and inconclusive style that marked his messages of last summer. The Lane plan for employing soldiers in rec lamation vof waste lands in which they may later have homes to be purchased from the government is also commended. Labor's in violable right to strike is again set forth, in dicating the attitude of the administration to wards the anti-strike feature of the Cummins bill. Repression of disorder to be ac complished by removal of the causes for dis content is strongly urged, but the form of cure proposed is only that which has so' far pro duced no sign of improvement. Two points of which the president lays great stress will commend themselves to all. These are economy in expenditures, and reduction of taxation. The adoption of a budget system for control of appropriations is recommended. As this already is under ,way in the house, with very good prospects of passage, the relief is looked for. Republicans long have favored the movement, which was nearly brought to ef fective application by Mr. Wilson's predecessor, but quickly abandoned when the democrats came into power. Tw years ago a solemn pledge was made by the democratic house that a single committee should handle all appropria tion bills, but this was completely forgotten when actual work of spending money began, and there ensued a riot of extravagance from which the country wi,ll suffer for many a year to tome., . Mr. Wilson promises to later discuss the railroad question, as well as the peaae treaty. In the meantime the house has passed the Esch bill, which is tnow up' to the senate in connec tion with the Cummins bill, the Unfinished business before that body. Recommendations from the White House; to be of service must soon be made. i ' In reading the message one must keep in mind1 that it coms from a sick man, who has been prevented by illness from giving that close personal attention to derails that has charac terized the course of the president. He is also Writing to a congress that has already over ridden two of his, vetoes, and may not be dis posed to accept definite instructions from him. Even with this allowance, the general wish will be that Mr. Wilson had been more explicit on certain points he has lightly passed over. No Divided Authority in the Mexican Settlement Whatever may be the difficulties of a Mex ican settlement, and there are enough of them, Americans may at least be thankful that the task now confronting the nation is not com "plicated with any league entanglements. If a cague of nations were in operation, and we .vere a member of it the chances of a right set ;lement in Mexico, and one that would leave America's stewardship of this hemisphere with fia clear title, would be immeasurably decreased. A league settlement of the Mexican situation would not and could not be an American set tlement. It would he made upon the basis of countless influences,' claims and aspirations other than American. Every nation represented in the league, or at least those represented in its council, would have had a hand in it. Japan is represented in the council. Nobody knows .'just what Japan's interests in Mexico may be, but whatever they are it is very safe to say they are not America's interests. America's interests its broad, national interests are in an orderly, peaceful, industrious Mexico with a settled, legal, republican government, a Mex- . ico with which we can live upon terms of neighborliness and trade. That's all we want .... in Mexico. That's all we expect from an - American settlement of the problem there. . ' Project European influences into the Mexi can case and such a settlement will be impossi ble. We have -seen a European concert try to '.settle the Balkan .question and the Adriatic '.. question, and we have seen the results. It would be the same in Mexico. Probably we have been lax in our steward . ; ship, , but to resign it now into the hands of my other power or comlination of powers with ; interests opposed to ours, ana which can be ad vanced only by the defeat of ours, would be to ". turn our. backs upon every principle American institutions have stood for from the beginning. The country cannot harbor such a thought. America's obligations to Mexico must be dis charged by America, when the time comes, and by nobody else. Kansas City Star. Anarchists "Love" America. On the eve of his departure irom America, permanently, Alexander Berkman pauses a mo ment to brood in sorrow over the perversity of the government that expt'ls him and the pur l)lindncss of the people to permit it. Anarchists, he tells us, love America. Verily, they ought to, for no where on earth have they fared so well as. here. Berkman says he has practiced his peculiar beliefs for thirty-two years, spend ing half of that time in prison. That merely convinces him that the rest of the world was wrong. During his intervals o( liberty he has thrived even as did Solomon's lily, in that he has neither toiled nor span, and yet 1 has en joyed the good things of life with that' peculiar gusto incident to carelessness as to who sup plied the bed and board he relished. Sap headed men and silly women have contributed to upkeep of Berkman and his ilk, and the lazy loafers have waxed fat and merry at the expense of dupes who have mistaken resonant phrases mouthily uttered, the jargon of the cult sonor ously sounded, for the gospel of true liberty. No wonder the anarchists love America 1 But we fear this fondness will be lessened, the cur rent of their love curdled, so to speak, for the irresistible trend of public opinion is forcing the government to bestir itself, and the safety of bomb throwers and windjammers of the Berkman type is no longer such as to attract insurance agent9 eager for good risks. The passing of Henry Clay Frick brings back again the story of his quarrel with Andrew Carnegie, which overshadows the days when he was "pawky Andy's" alibi man at Homestead. "Ye'll have to see Henry aboot that," was the great iron master's way but of anything he was not anxious to do, and Henry seemed to know by instinct what his partner wanted. Joshua rillis Alexander, who has just been named to succeed Mr. Redfield as secretary of commerce, is a Missouri democrat of many years standing. He is also a lawyer, but has not worked at it for a long time. This ought to qualify him to look after the big business in terests of the United States. The Chamber of Commerce asks all citizens to aid in every possible way in the conservation of coal. No need to enjoin this on the home owners, for the price of fuel as well as is scarcity is an inducement as well as an in- 4 centive to economy in its use. Repressing a Jamboree ' . . From Harvey's Weekly. It may be doubted whether in the several years of .its activity the federal reserve bank system has rendered any greater service to the nation than it did in repressing the recent orgy of speculation-in Wall street. To say that is' not in the least degree to minimize its general value; for it might do very great good without equalling the magnitude of the work to which we have referred It is indeed a question whether the nation generally realizes anything like the full value of that service, for the reason that it was rendered in time to avert the catastrophe which alone could have made the situation fully felt The fact is that the wild orgy of speculation' was whirling Wall street to the brink of one of the most disastrous panics in its history, a panic which inevitably would have affected the whole country. When stocks of great cor porations ar artificially "bulled" up to a specu lative price of 300 or 400 or more, they cannot be kept there, and the chances are that when they fall to a normal figure there will be a vast disturbance of other prices and a panic in the money market. , That would afmost certainly have happened in this case had the speculators of the street been left to their own devices. The great service of the federal reserve bank was performed in intervening in time, with such an increase of money rates as effectively stopped further inflation of prices. That forced the abnormal prices of stocks to come down with a rush, but provided for their doing so in circumstances void of evil effect upon the rest of the market. A lo.t of purely speculative "paper fortunes" were swept away, but the nation was saved from a panic which might have affected disastrously real holdings of legit imate values. It is of course possible that this service might have been performed with similar efficiency by some other agency, though it seems doubtful if this could have been done in a manner so free from suspicion of ulterior motives. What is certain is that the federal reserve bank did it "with neatness and ' dis patch"; also, "without fear and without re proach." . I It will of course be understood that ' the tremendous fall in prices of some very impor tant industrial securities, which was effected in a few hours, was a fall in speculative prices and not in real values. The integrity and solvency and profits of the great concerns whose stocks were thus manipulated were in no way involved. Whether their stock was quotqd at 100 or at 400 made no difference to their manufacturing operations, their sales of output, orvtheir profits or legitimate business. While their workmen and salesmen were engaged in "business as usual," Wall street was having one of its occasional jaborees, which happily was repressed by authoritative intervention in time and in a way that confined the resultant head ache and purse-ache to the actual participants in it, and saved the nation from unmerited dis aster. 1 ' A Winning Issue Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler hits the nail on the head when he puts forward an end to na tional extravagance as the great issue for 1920. Like a goQd partisan and a hopeful candidate, 'Dr. Butler somewhat overstresses democratic responsibility for all the wanton waste of recent years, for' the republicans have hadjfcontrol of congress for some time and might have done something toward checking this prodigality with the public money had they been so minded. But let that pass; the democrats are mostly re sponsible, and if they should try to make a cam paign on an econ&my platform the discerning would point to the record and laugh. The re publicans have the better chance to make the issue, and it is to be hoped that they will empha size their good purposes in this respect in the coming campaign and make so many pledges that they will have to keep some of them. The government's lavishness in conducting its affairs sets a sorry example for the individual in this era of wild extravagence. It plays its partn keeping up the cost of living under which the people stagger. The average citizenis more interested in the reduction of his taxes, direct and indirect, than in any" other governmental policy. Ohio State Journal.

To the Editor of The Beer ' A , few years ago, there was a great deal of talk about effi ciency and of doing things In an efficient manner, but, in la,ter years the aim for efficiency1 seems to have have lost sight of and now the great effort seems to be to do as little work as possible and in as few hours as can be, Vith the result of forcing prices on all productions whether of field .or of shop to unheard of pro portions. I can consistently talk on the labor question for I know personally what it Is to work from 12 to 20 hours not only mentally but physically, and though I am now past 60 years, of age, I have for more than 30 years put in from 10 to 20 hours every one of the days of that time both physically and mentally and in addi tion I walk six miles every day of the year and have done it for the last 16 years. I The effort of the so-called labor leaders for the last few years ha been to cut down the hours of work and now some of the more crazy of ,them are agitating for even a four hour labor day. The result of the agitation for shorter hours is seen in the country today, for the price of every article of use has arisen hisrher and higher until lots of the most necessary pro ductions are beyond the pocket books of millions of people and will be that way until the people of the United States wake up and get back to old-fashioned Americanism. In stead of cutting down the hours of labor, it is my belief that the hours should be put back tq the 10-hour-a-day basis until there has been enough produced in all lines of work in this country to bring things back to a normal condition of affairs. I think the employers and the employes of this country owe it to the country to restore the old time 10-hour day until the high cost of living is brought down by a greater production thanv can ever be done while the present eight-hour system and, less is in existence. I consider It unpatriotic in the extreme for any one to want to cut down the hours of labor whether by the employers or by the employes until we get back to the state of things that ex isted lor so many years before the world war upset affairs in every part of the world. The coal operators should be compelled to allow their employes more hours of work each week and they "should also be com pelled to keep their production of coal up In the summer as well as in the winter, so that no such state of affairs should exist in thfs coun try again as is the case today. It locks as if some one was guilty of treason and they should be tried tor that offense for allowing the mines to lie idle for months in face of a cold winter coming: upon us. The mine owners should1, be com pelled to keep their mines running and the miners should be compelled to keep at work to produce the coal That is so badly needed in every part of the Unitd States today. Someone has said that serious as the times are now, they can be settled by work. Instead of trying to see how few hours they can put in each day it should be the aim of every man who works, whether mentally or physi cally to see how much he can pro-. duc-e in 10 hours of the 24 and to make that production an evidence of pflicieni-y. Let us get back to the old time 10-hour day at least for a few vears. FRANK A. AG NEW. Had Adam found a copper cent, which Adam did not do. and loaned it out 'at 6 per cent while it was fresh and. new. compounding all the interest and leaving to his heirs hered itary instinct to go on compounding theirs, we all would be so rich today that every one could shirk the "lightest forms of toil; we'd let the servants do the work. ,. The loeic of the argument is beautiful to view. It's clear and radiant to me; 1 trust it's j so to you. But while the human intellect is sprightly as the deuce, it pounces on some principles it cannot put to use: but when you see a head with large and fertile brains inside, you sometimes see that principle successfully applied. j i In Milton Barlow we behold the head de-! scribed herein, who sees no chance in big i finance for heresy and sin. He trusts old faithful Six Per Cent to grind and grind away so long as there is any one on earth to dig and pay; and if the compound earnings to'such lofty heights should rise, to gather in the golden harps from angels in the skies. In testimony of the weight and class of sim ple Six, its merits far surpassing those of hasty turns and tricks, his bank, the U. S. Na tional, has swallowed many more, their rhar ters, stock and personnel, their gaudy golden store. But say, if Seven, Eight or Nine no longer wax and thrive, who stays the day when Six Per Cent is swallowed up by Five? Next Subject John A. Swanson. Where ITnctlec Is Better Than Theory.

"I want the bank to keep this dollar for me," said Hunting Eye to the cashier. The farmer who gave it to him had told him that was the wisest thing for him to do with it. "Very good," said the cashier. ' "How much of it will you keep for' taking care of it?" asked the Indian boy. ' ' "Why, we won't keep any. On the contrary, we pay you for allow ing us to keep it for you." This sovamazed the boy from the North woods that he was about to ask for his money back, fearing that people who were willing to pay him for keeping his money must intend to steal it or damage it in some way. when the cashier continued, "We'll take your dollar and lend it to some one who needs money. This person, because he needs money, will be willing to pay for the use of it. This payment we , Winter Tree Buds. By ADELIA BELLE BEARD. You boys and girls who love the woods and trees, go out now and see the wonders of the winter' tree buds. When the leaves fall, they do not leave the trees dead and bare, but covered with living buds, vsure promises of new blossoms, new leaves, and new growth. The are all ready to open shop and begin business when sprin gives the call iiitercst. Or wa'll invest your dollar in land or buildings or other property from which we will get a profit. Thus we can afford to pay you. for allowing us to use your money." "Bui how am I to know that the bank won't lend it to some one who can't pay or buy property which is not worth the price?" , "When the bank lends money, it usually requires the person to whom it lends to have property which it can take if he does not pay. Then the government has persons called bank examiners who inspect the manner in which the bank has made its loans and the property it has bought. . They, also see that the persons running the bank don't steal any of the money deposited with them. Oh, your money will be safe here, all right." So the little Indian Boy gave the cashier his dolIar and, as he went out into the street, he felt a new respect and confidence for the great government which thus protected the people living under it. i (Next week: "Hunting Eye Attends a Meeting Council. ) ill si Viiflsj ) ' DOT PUZZLE. .W 1L f Mil ' Ycr.
