The coal miners' executive council has done the wise ar well as the expected thing, in ac cepting the basis for settlement proposed by the president It contains elements of fairness, and in its application should adversely affect no body. Calling the- strike of? should immediately restore activity Iri the mines,, so that the end of the present week ought to see them all work-1 ing full time. This does not mean that Omaha will get relief at once. The situation here is far too serious for that Within a few days, however, the most rigorous of restrictions should be lifted, but until word is had from the fuel administration people should not only be patient, but should continue to conserve fuel to the utmost. The passing of the crisis hat relieved the most remarkable situation ever experienced by Americans. If. will bring attention more than any other thing could do to the industrial rela tions of the nation, and the importance of giv ing them careful attention. Secretary Wilson in his report from the Labor department hits the nail squarely when he says that industrial peace will only come with industrial justice. To es tablish that should be the aim of all good citi zens. - . This being a free country, there is nothing to prevent the miners from talking while the rest of ns freeze. i , Secretary Wilson's advice that all hands go to work producing something is good, but will the jcountry heed it?

Case of the Candy Trade Candy manufacturers have already "rationed" their product in a fairly effective way by put ting its price so high that many people cannot afford to buy it at alL nd most others have cut down their purchases by half or more. In spite of this, however, householders who find sugar so hard to get or who cannot get it at all are inclined to view with hostile eyes the heavily loaded shelves and counters of the candy shops; and to wonder why it is "the government" that pathetically trusted,' or distrusted, curer of all ills, does not relieve the present famine by di verting a near-necessary oilife from the hands of hose who turn it into a luxury that none can Dretend is anything else. ' - There Is, of course, a natural and proper hesitation in responsible quarters to disturb what has come to be a great industry, and to throw out of employment the thousands of workers it supports, f Action of some .sort, however, seems to be under consideration in official mimhs, and there is more than excuse for it in the fact, or what looks, like the fact, that either the candy makers are "paying for sugar prices that tempt sales to them at illegal rates, and so cutting down household supplies intolerably, or else their present profit? are of a size that re quires for adequate characterization resort to the vocabulary of Mr. McAdoo. ' On the one or the other ground the candy business is -rtainly on the defensive. New Railroad Stocks and Congress. , In the course of his criticism of the pending railroad bills,' Senator Lafollette indulged in considerable argument that is beside the point. He especially emphasized the prospect of an increase in value of railroad stocks in event of the final passage of either the Cummins or Esch bills. Such an event may reasonably be expected, and there is no good reason why it should not be so. Investors in railroad securities are en titled to whatever protection just and equitable laws can afford. Because capital has been em ployed in the great transportation industry is not, a reason why it should be outlawed. One of the greatest causes of so-called "failure" of the railroads to meet the emergency in 1917 was the fact that capital could not be secured wherewith to purchase equipment and make im provements needed to take care of the business When the government took over the lines, it proceeded to make consolidations and otherwise rearrange the systems after a fashion that was prudent and business-like, to secure the most efficient use of the lines and rolling stock as existing. But the government had rigidly pro hibited the corporations from doing those very things. Hundreds of millions of dollars from the United States treasury went Jo buy material and equipment the railroads needed, and which they could not get the means to buy, because the restrictions placed by the government were so strict that investors in railroad stocks and bonds could not see the returns they sought. Freight and passenger rates were horizotally increased from 25 to 50' per cent, and ,a deficit that already amounts to more than a billion dollars w-as saddled on the public funds. ., Yet certain elements apprehend that a fur ther increase in transportation charges would be forthcoming when the roads are turned back to their owners. The added cost of operation as well as the capital required for imperative extensions and betterments demands this.' But this does 'not justify oppositipn to pending measures because t,heir passage will restore rail road stocks and bonds to public favor. Capital employed is surely entitled to earn its wages, justvthesame as labor, and no one questions that railroad labor has benefited enormously by reason of government management of the rail roads. Why should not capital share in this? Then, if investors prefer private to public own ership, should the plan suffer because it is more likely to attract idle money? ' ' ,". What Germany Wanted i . Reform in Politics. An English servant girl, just elected to be a member of the municipal council in her home town, says she has studied mornings and eve nings to gain an understanding of politics, and now ,that she has mastered the subject she pro poses to go on to Parliament and accomplish needed reforms. We congratulate her, even at this distance, for having achieved what many wise men ; have failed in. Politics, especially the modern kind, has baffled the best of states men, philosophers and. students in all ages. Just because it rests finally on human nature, and human nature has as many facets as there are individuals, politics, has been, is and prob ably will continue the greatest game known to man, just because it has no hard and fast rules. John J. Ingalls once cynically characterized purity irf politics is a "damned iridescent dream," and the experience of the world since then has fairly justified 'his conclusion. Altru ists hope for better things, and tell us how they may be achieved, but continually see their bub bles break against the irrefragible surface of -human nature, and the world goes on. But, here's luck to the lady in her quest. One Way to Force Down Prices. The 'president of the American Woollen Com pany has taken steps to force a .reduction in re tail prices at Lawrence, Mass. Telling the local dealers that "it is useless to raise wages and find the effect lost in an increasing cost of liv ing," he threatens that if reductions are not made he will open a retail store at which his workmen may be supplied with all necessaries. "I am acting from a Christian point of view," he sayi. Now that he has set about it we hope he will Iceep on. After the happy workera in the woollen mills at,Lawrence have their wants attended to, Mr. Wood may get a wider vista, and note that some who buy the things he makes are paying prices that looks as if they were considerably inflated. If he can thus be induced to assist in bringing down the cost of clothing, he will be setting an example other manufacturers will doubtless be glad to follow, and in time this "Christian view" will bear fruit all along the line. It would be a glorious Christmas gift for the nation. A; Chicago genius has prepared a motor to be driven by compressed air, and proposes t revolutionize the auto industry. He will prob ably start a corner on the air supply.

From Asia to America across the Pacific cpmes next. Increase in unfilled orders reported by the United States Steel corporation is a presage of better timei ahead, From the New York Timet. Some days ago the Times commented on the memorandum of German peace terms presented by Count von Bernstorff to Colonel House "for the personal information of the president" on January 30, 1917, one day before the declaration of intensified submarine war. The German gov ernment at that time asserted that these were the terms which it hid in mind when making the peace proposal of December 12 previous. In that proposal no terms were mentioned; the bel ligerents were to get together and engage in a trial of wits around a table Naturally the allies refused. The German terms as given to Colonel House fully justified this refusal, although them selves so vaguely phrased as to admit some lati tude of interpretation. Nov, however, it appears that the Germans themselves would have read into these hazy phrases far more than the most suspicious allied statesmen might have feared. German news papers arriving with further details of the parlia mentary inquiry at which these facts were dis closed give us the real terms. The memorandum of January 30 was not made public, Count von Bernstorff explained, "for fear of giving an im pression of weakness." The real reason, it seems now, was that it was a deliberately falsi fied document intended to deceive President Wilson. For when Bethmann-Hollweg came up for cross-examination Deputy Sinzheimer, a mem ber of the committee, read apparently from gov ernment archives a schedule of peace terms which Bethmann admitted was the one which Germany would actually . have demanded had the allies agreed to a parley in December, 1916. What appeared in the Bernstorff memorandum as "strategic and economic rectifications" on the French frontier meant really the acquis! n of the iongwy and Briejr districts together with the outright absorption of Luxemburg and Francie was to pay indemnities besides. "The restoration of Belgium, with definite guarantees for the security of Germany," as presented in the Bernstorff memorandum, meant probable an nexation up through Liege, with still further "guarantees" of a nature not described. , On the east front "the obtaining -f a border that would give strategic and economic protection" to Ger many and the puppet kingdom of Poland set up by the central powers really meant the annexa tion of Courland and much of Lithuania, to gether with the compulsion of a Russo-German commercial treaty, in which all the advantage was to be onjone side. Tae Germans wer w;,l ing to give up the colonies occupied by Japan, no doubt hoping in this way to effect an al liance; but by way of counterpoise they wanted to annex the Congo State. , Hindenburg besides would have demanded an indemnity From England as compensation for the evacuation of Belgium; but Bethmann-Hollweg held, out against this, and apologized for the terms as a compromise between civilian and military ideas. iThe Austrians also presented their terms, which included "strategic rectifica tions of frontier" on the Russian, Rumanian and Italian borders, an Austrian protectorate over Albania and economic union of a much reduced Serbia with the dual monarchy. Very naturally. the Germans regarded these demands as a little too much, since the Russians held much Aus trian territory and the Italians a little, and Austria had been saved from disaster only by German arms. ' j i It was characteristic of the German govern ment, of course, to present false terms in the hope of influencing the United States govern ment; equally so to fear that these false terms, providing as even they did for a substantial German victory, would seem weak to the Ger man people; but most of all to suppose that the program presented to Colonel House must impress non-Germar)s by its magnanimity. It was a piece of statecraft worthy of the men who conducted the affairs of the German govern ment during the war. 1 A Nonpartisan League Test New tracks of the cloven hoof of the social istic leadership of the Nonpartisan league in North Dakota have been discovered. These tracks lead toward the schools where the minds of little children are impregnated with this or that kind of thought. Representative Burtness of Grand Forks hap pened in the state circulating library depart ment upon an assembly of books which, he said, were ready to be forwarded to one of the coun try schools under the direction of a socialistic librarian. It is asserted that these books in cluded works on free love, socialism, anarchy and bolshevism works that assail the sanctity of home and family; works that set forth the political philosophy of Leon Trotzky; works that expound systems of economics, govern ments and social schemes radically opposed to the principles upon which the American gov ernment and American traditions rest; works that make light of the religious instinct. Ex cluded from the list are standard works of fic tion and, if the report be accurate, anything that helps visualize the figures of Washington and Lincoln in the Azure of Trotzky is visualized. Here is brought to the fere a real test of the I Nonpartisan league in terms or iw per ceni Americanism. - Will the rank and file of that organization stand for this attempt to poison the minds of the boys and girls of North Da kota? Will the farmers of the state let this kind of propaganda go on unchallenged, or will they, as Representative Burtness suggests figurative ly, gather in Bismarck "with shotguns to clean out the whole crowd?" ' ' We do honor to the general membership of the Nonpartisan league in assuming that it will administer the kind of rebuke that is due in this instance. We have not lost all faith in this membership because it has tolerated -for so long the kind of leadership it has had these last four or five years. What is left of that faith will be gone, however, if drastic measures are not taken to put a speedy end to this offense against the school children of North Dakota and this sinister assault on American ideals and institutions.

Omaha, Neb.,. Dec. 3. To the Kditor of The Bee: A few' days ago I read in your paper a copy of a tele gram sent to Woodrow Wilson by a numoer or traveling men in regard to the present situation, every word of which I heartily endorse. I can imagine no greater calamity than a nation of Jobless working men, ana indications now point to such a condition. When our presi dent called for the aid of every man in the crisis of the war, was he ignored? No, because , Americans never -fail in a task of righteous duty. Perhaps I am misinformed, and our honored chief is not aware of the suffering caused by a lack of coal. Perhaps , there is no such a tning as the mine owners being forced to comply with their em ployes' demands until this can be settled to the satisfaction of all. And again, it may, be that our govern ment admits its helplessness. Cer tainly one must not suffer needlessly, and genuine effort should have some reward. It seems, to me that co-operation of the government with the people and for the people instead of power ful individuals should lead to a safer and more satisfied natiov AN AMERICAN. "Stand" of Labor. Omaha, Dec. 6 To the Editor of The Bee: It-is reiterated everywhere in the press that a few miners, a small minority of half a million, are in the attempt to hold up and impose their wills on 100,000,000. This 100,000,000 includes the women and children of the land, while the 500,000 in question ex cludes these, which, if added to It would make the number 2,000,000 instead of 600,000. Add to these 2,000,000 the numberlof those who sympathize with them, practically the whole ranks of labor, 'and you will have something like an equal division of the nation's population on the side of the miners; and If the miners are yet in the minority, they surely constitute a Very respectable minority. The present situation divide, the people into two well defined camps; the employers of labor on one side and the employed on the .other "Capital and 'Labor." This talk of "small minority' is purely the soph istry of capital and the press. The labor side to the controversy Is at this tremendous disadvantage, that the entire press is in the em ployers' camp. The press is itself an extensive employer . of labor and Its entire advertising patronage is made up of employers of labor; and even though it were willing to give labor an equal deal through . Its columns, it dares not under penalty of losing the patronage on which its very ex istence depends. So, much is this true that labor is left practically without an impartial Judge and advocate without a printed voice to plead Its cause. With a handicap like this it surely takes more than a handful of miners to make the stand that labor is mak ing and has made. It stands because of the backing of the millions, not of money, but of men and women, be hind it. A. B. BROWN. Sport that Make Mn yj Athletics 1 Pass Word to Foil Thieves. Omaha, Dec. 6. To the Editor of The Bee: I want to offer a suggestion. It may not amount to much, but it won't cost anyone anything. One ex cuse offered why they had no burg lar alarm in Havden Bros', store was that the watchman would have to answer, "All rteht," at the end of a gun held by a bandit, any way. That is true, but why couldn't they have a secret pass word to report every hour that no one but the parties Interested knew anything about, and then when the watchman reported to headquar ters, "All is well," headquarters would know all was not well, for that was not their password when all was well. The bandit wOuld not know, but headquarters would. I think there ought to be some way to outwit them. It takes a woman some times to do those things.

Chicago News. , DAILY CARTOONETTE. Training for Basket Ball. uy a. u. crATj faqb. (University of Chicaaro. The game of basket ball calls for a physical machine able to go at top speed for two 20-minute periods of keen action.' During a three-month season, one must not overdo. There fore, the loss of weight calls for a letup in daily practice. First Eat proper food. The mind and body only react quickly when not overburdened. Tasty or greasy dishes as pork or fried potatoes should not be eaten. Do away with stimulants as coffee, tobacco, etc., for the excitement of the game is more than sumcient tor heart action. Never eat within three hours before practice or a game. A full stomach causes sleepy reaction. Second Sleep and live regularly. During the season, one needs steady nerves and plenty of "pep." You need at least nine hours regular sleep, 10 p. m. to 7 a. m or better Which wilt make the team? i ' still 9 to 6. Of course this means social sacrifices. Endurance comes with a good breathing apparatus. Therefore, treat your lungs with plenty of fresh air. Do away with the close and stuffy bedroom and insist on a well ventilated class room. Third Condition ' your physical machine by daily exercises. Make your practice work short and snap py. An hour and a half is more than enough time to spend in your gymnasium suit Many a fellow overdoes the physical part of train ing by putting in too long hour of practice. He becomes stale work ing at half speed. The daily program of condition ing should include: (1) Warming up exercises as passing, pivoting, dribbling, and basket shooting not over 30 minutes. (2) Two short scrimmage periods say 12 to 15 min utes each or once a week one long slow period of 30 minutes steady nluBfriniT. (3) End up the session in corrective work, as special guard ing exercises or certain basket shooting ' stunts as free throwing, etc. Do not overdo. Basket ball an very easily become too strenuous for a growing boy. It is better not to work enough than to overwork. (Next week: "Handling the Ball.") Bpyt and Girls' Newipaper Service, f Copyright.
