You should know that
The area of Omaha is 37.78 square
. miles, and the city contains 903
miles of opened streets.
What The Bee Stands For:
1. Respect for the law and maintenance erf
order. '.
2. Speedy and certain punishment of crime
through the regular operation of the
, courts. .
3. Pitiless publicity and condemnation ol
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
basis of good citizenship.

x COAL STRIKE AT AN END.
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

to work producing something is good, but will

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.

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.

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. Minneapolis Tribune.

Reply to a Traveling Man.
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

"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.

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. I am one of your
oldest Bee subscribers so you will
know I am not young any more. Very
truly, A SUBSCRIBER.

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.

Ball.")

What Mary Ate.
, By MOLLIS PBICB COOS.
"Ain't you got no more dough
nuts, ma?" ;
'"No, Mary, you have already had
three."
This was at breakfast. Mary got
up late, as usual, feeling seedy, so
he ate some doughnuts and jam
and drank a cup of tea.
At noon Mary pushed aside the
nice soap, lettuce, salad, and ome
let which her mother had prepared
for her. "I don't like that stuff."
she said, "I am going to raid the
pantry and see if I can find some
pie." To the pantry Mary went and
found a piece of pie, which she ate.
Then she swallowed a glass of wa
ter, nicked a few lumps of sugar
from the bowl on the table, and
went back to school.
After school Mary bought an ap
ple taffy It cost 5 cents, so the
apple was of poor quality and the
taffy was a cheap glucose prepara
tion, very sticky. One of the girls
met Mary on the way home and
gave her some gum drops and a dill
pickle, so Mary had quite a feast At
dinner time she wasn't hungry and
all the family wondered why she
could not each much dinner. In

' TELLS SECRET
A Beauty Specialist Gives Home
Made Recipe to Darlwn Gray Hair.
Mrs. M. D. Gillespie, a well-known
beauty specialist of Kansas City, re
cently gave out the following state
ment regarding gray hair:
"Anyone can prepare a simple
mixture at home that wll darken
gray hair, and make It soft and
glossy. To a half-pint of water add
1 ounce of bay rum, a small box
of Barbo Compound and 4 ounce
of glycerine.
These ingredient ean be pur
chased any drug store at very little
cost. Apply to the hair twice a
week until the desired shade is ob
tained. This will make a gray
haired person look twenty years
younger. It does not color the
scalp, Is not sticky or greasy and
does not rub off." I
