iWe believe the Mexicans do wrong to kill
- Chinese and Americans. The Chinese are the
only good cooks in Mexico, where a good cook
, ought to be protected, because he is needed. If
the Mexicans had good cooking they might be
" better ordered. There is nothing like the pros
' pect of a square meal to tame the disorders of
i the mind. We believe Mexicans are wrong when
- they kill Americans. If they would allow Amer
: icans to help develop their resources there might
be something for the Chinese to cook.
However, the Mexicans think differently, and
.'thus far they have been the bosses. In the
meanwhile, Mr. Jenkins, the disturbing consul
has been released after having offended the Mex
V ican government, both In Puebla and in the re-

REPUBLICANS ARE READY.
Not in a long time has a national gathering
of republican leaders displaced the vim and
confidence that marked the meeting just over
at Washington. It was not a conclave in the
interest of a candidate, but an assemblage de
voted to the welfare of the nation. Party di
visions and factional differences arc funk be
neath the all-important duty of restoring the
country to a stable condition of social and in
dustrial prosperity, and obliterating the effects
of seven years of democrstic mismanagement
That this thought dominated the gathering
Is plain. It Is not the mere prospect of party
success that animates the republicans today, but
a sincere, patriotic desire to bring the affairs of
the government and the people out of the mud
dle into which they have been plunged by the
Wilson administration. With this in view,
and determination 'firmly fixed, the representa
tives of the party decided on preliminaries to
the next national convention, and have cleared
the way for the presentation ,of candidates,
enough of whom are already mentioned to make
sure that the party has no dearth of timber to
choose from. ''.-,..
Closely united on the fundamentals that,
made its years of control the most brilliant and
successful in American history, the republican
party now looks forward to an opportunity for
even greater service. The future promises enor
mous reward to a well governed, conservatively
directed republic, and to deserve and achieve that
reward is the purpose to which the party lead
ers are bent. It will be no small undertaking
to retrieve the blunders of the democrats, so
numerous and costly, but the task will be un
dertaken, , not gaily, but soberly and earnestly,
that the nation may be brought again to solid
holding ground as . soon as possible.
The convention to select the candidate will
convene in June. Until that time it is for
republicans to remain firm and feel that the
party that did riot fail in 1860 will not fail in
1920: ' '
Einstein and Gravitation
Where Does the $2.20f Go?
,A miner being examined in court testified
that he received ,84 cents a ton for mining, coal,
whtle the company charged him $2.20 per ton
at the mouth of the pit for the same coal, "and
I have to haul it home." On this is predicated
a serious charge of exorbitant profiteering. But
is such a charge justified? The miner is paid
for. preparing the Coal tc be broken down, for
which work he receives 84 cents; back of hi'm
come a considerable array of others who must
be paid out of the remainder. These include
the shot-firer, who touches off the blast the
miner has prepared, the clearers, who get the
fallen coal out of the way so that another-lot
rnay be knocked down; the track-layers, 'who
arrange that the little cars may be brought
into the room; the drivers, who haul the. car
to the hoist, the trapper boys, the engineers,'
firemen, electricians, steanifitters,' plumbers,
carpenters, laborers, foremen, superintendents,
clerks, and all the others employed about the
mine take toll from that toil of coal Then the
government comes in with its ,claim for taxes,
and finally due allowance for depletion arid
maintenance must be made,' so that by the
time the ton of coal is delivered to the one
who hauls it away a notable array of charges
has been laid against if, which must be paid.
If each of these were as heavy as that of the
miner, the price at the., pitmouth would be
many times $2.20 per toil. And most of the
added cost above the 84 cents goes for labor.
From the St Louis Globe-Democrat
In spite of the fact that it is asserted there
are not more than twelve men living capable
of understanding Dr.. Albert Einslsin's new
theory ct relativity, which amends, supplants
or supersedes the Newtonisn theory of gravita
tion, which was within the comprehension of
the ordinary layman, the indorsement of the
new' theory by the .Royal Society of Great
Britain calls for its acceptance by the scientific
world, and thus, perforce, by common mortals.
The fact that only a choice fewisupermen, even
among scientists, can understand it should not
prevent us from accepting it is true. We un
derstand so little of the things which enter into
our everyday lives that 'we are not warranted
in dawing the line of credulity at our personal
comprehension. , ' i
We have been meekly accepting the dictum
of science for generations, although .the church
once balked at .it and made Gallileo recant his
declaration that it was the earth and not the
sun whose motion made night and day, and in
spite of the overthrow of previously universally
accepted science by the Copernican theory of
the universe. Also the :;-ray compelled science
to revise its theory of t!ie opacity, of .matter,
just as it changed its theory of light from sub
sance to motion. Science sums now to be in
the transition stage as to tne substitution of
the spiral for the formerly declared rotary mo
tion of the matter of original chaos in the for
mation of suns, planets, satellites, comets and

Trying to Revive Nulsanc.
Omaha, Dec. 11. To the Editor
of The Bee: I saw by preaa re
ports that some golf players of New
York City are trying . to start a
movement for the revival' of the
great nuisance of a law called the
"daylight saving law," and to have
the law passed hy first one state and
then another one. '
That would surely mix things ud
to a finish all over the country, to
iiuvo una system in one siaie ana
another system in, the adjoining
states. ' The law. as passed by . con
gress was bad ' enough, and there
was one great Sigh of relief all over
the United States when that law
died on the last Sunday In October
this year, and I think the golf play
ers of the big cities will find It up
hill business to try to force that law
down the throats of the people of
the country, state by state, or In any
other way. ,
Some big employers lihe the so
called daylight saving system, as
they can get more work out of em
ployes by making them go, to work
so early in the morning that they do
not have time to do any morning
cnores at nome.
But. as we all know, that hvs.

.Why the Picture is Blurred.
By GRANT V. HTD&
"Why is this picture in the newsi
paper blurred, Daddy?"
"That phonograph?" Because it
was printed from a half-tone ,cut
that was too fine for stereotyping."
"What is a half-tone cut?"
"A half-tone is an engraving used
to print reproductions of photo
graphs. You remember that I told
you how they make the line engrav
ings which are used to print draw
ings r i told you that such cuts
consist of raised lines on a zinc
plate. Such plates cannot be used
to print photographs because thev
produce only black lines of ink on
a white background, while a photo
graph is made up of various shades
of gray. To make the gray in it,
the black and white must be broken
up or mixed together as is done
in a half-tone.

will see that it is divided into thou

Railroad Labor Under the New Law.
' In his commentary pn the Esch bill," Judge
Lovett of the Union Pacific raises the objection
that the proposed law in effect continues all
wage schedules and working' rules and regula
tions made by the railroad administration dur
ing abnormal times. It likewise continues the
application of rates made in the same fashion,
but it does not make them perpetual. Certain
of the wage agreements negotiated by the labor
board have not worked out just as they were
intended to, because of misapplication and not
because of fault in principle involved. No one
who has kept watcliof the developments in con
nection with the railroad question looksfor a re
turn to prewar conditions iiv the matter of
wages or working conditions. Inequalities in
wage schedules will be worked out, and more
satisfactory regulations may be substituted for
the hastily devised system of the McAdoo ad
ministration, but the principle contained will
stay. Between the Plymb plan of control by
the employes and the Lovett idea of equally
absolute control by the magnates is the zone in
which lies the interests of the public, and this
finally means the workers and the magnates as
well as the patrons. That wisdom may pre
vail it will be necessary that control of the
lines fall somewhere in this zone, and to that
end' the Esch bill contemplates retention of
the idea embodied in existing wage scales and
regulations. Modifications will undoubtedly
follow as readjustment proceeds, but there will
be no return to old-methods.
Leading . Up to Ratification.
The most notable utterance of the adminis
tration leader in the senate in connection wifh
the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Na
tions covenant it contains was made before the
Southern society at New York on Wednesday
night Senatr Hitchcock then said: "At the
present time in the senate the issue is . not
whether the treaty shall be ratified with reser
vations or without reservations.' All of the
members recognize that reservations are in
evitable." This is making progress. A few
weeks ago the senator agreed with his chief
at the White House, publicly,' that the treaty
could be put through without dotting an i or
crossing at No amount of assurance or
warning from the other side could alter this
fixed belief. If he now has came to the under
standing that reservations are inevitable, the
conclusion is warranted that something of the
same notion may have permeated the .White
House. That mean that the end is approach
ing, and ratification is not very far away.
Nebraska's state railway commission is
threatened with extinction by being omitted
from the new constitution! It will never be
missed, as the future of the transportation in
dustry in the United States will not depend on
state control of rates as in the past
Nebraska has the unique and undesirable dis
tinction of having suffered more severely than
any other state on account of the fuel shortage.
This should be remembered next summer. .
Apple-giving is becoming a habit at the con
stitutional convention, and may. yet result in. an
inquiry. You can't be too careful these time.
Solving the Coal Question in Italy.
The idea of tapping the earth for its volcanic
energy has' been carried into practiice in Italy
with remarkable results.-. At Lordarello bore
holes have been sunk which discharged large
volumes of high pressure steam, which is now
used to generate about 10,000-hosepower " by
turbines. From time immemorial clouds of
steam have smoked up from the figsures in the
rocks, grim warning of the volcanfc forces be
neath. It remained for Prince Giuori-Conti,
however, to realize the value of the hidden
forces and by tapping them to utilize the forces
and save oil and fuel. Nearly 15 years ago he
built a40-horsepower engine and set it up at
one oPthese fissures. From that small begin
ning he has developed a system of many thou
sand horsepower.

Psychologists have said that ,to the pure all
things are pure; and scientific cynics, "to the
sure all things are sure." Thus Robert Beecher
Howell keeps a rigid mental grip, upon the
merits which reside in city ownership. The
way to make the city shine and give its spirit
wings is teaching it the management of lots of
little things.
The street'ears would not make so many
noises rough and raw, were they inducted to the
ownership of Omaha; the telephones would
struggle less with currents wildly crossed, were
they municipally bought and bonded for the
cost; the housewife's art would quickly show
more evidence of class if city enterprise were
joined to furnishing the gas. ,

ennea. it ail the private owners were retired
upon the shelf, he might consent to operate the
properties himself; and since he deftly fur
nishes the water we require, why not the trans-;
portation, telephones and lights and fire?
But should we let those industries remain
in private- grasp through loss of opportunities
which we neglect to ctesp. we still require some
governors and senators to aid in league-long
steps of progress which are waiting to be made;
and Howell would participate in any modest
view concerning his capacity to think and plan

is made photographically just like
the line engraving---except that
when the engraver takes his pic
lure of the original photograph, he
places a screen in his camera to
break up the light. This screen is
made of glass withx fine rulings on
it. The light, 'broken by the screen,
strikes the negative in thousands of
small dots and so the half-tone plate
made from this dotted negative,
consists of countless metal dots or
points. Wherever the photograph

large, so that they print more blKk

Wherever the photograph was lisht,
the dots are small and produce light

A BUSINESS OF
YOUROWN
Have you in . mind
the idea of owning
your owh business some
day? 1
To do this it will be
necessary to secure
capital.
There are two ways
to get it, and a bank
account has to do with
both of them.
Save and accumu
late money in the Sav
ings Department of the
First National Bank and
you will accumulate
part, if not all of the
necessary cash.
You will also build
up a credit to add to the
power of your capital.
Now is the time to
begin. Your savings
earn interest as they
grow. Call and talk it
over with Mr. Ward in
the Savings Department.
