Bloodgivers' U nion Set Scale
Many unions have come along and shocked
us into the realization that we are living in
strange , times. Now we are informed that
there is a professional bloodgivers union, an
: organuation of men who are. ready to risk
their lives to save others.
- According to Dr. F. Sileoof St. Catherine
.hospital, such a union is in existence. It is
well organized, so well organized that the mem
ber! are divided in groups, based on their fit
ness for blood-letting. Each member has a
certificate and' must definitely remain in the
classification which his certificate specifies. .
When persons are greatly in need of blood
3 afier accidents or very severe illnesses blood
must be iutroduced into their veins by transfu-
; siou from the veins of healthier persons with
more blood than they need. Most often rela
tives of the sick person are called upon to give
up blood. Sometimes this is not advisable, and
the doctors call in one of the professionals,
whose blood has been tested and has been found
to be the sort required. ' "
: Ordinarily 500 cubic centimeters of blood is
Kiven for $50, and 100 for $10. The original
insertion of the needle is taken asa matter of
course,, but should the doctor, miss the vein he
must pay $5 for. every extra jab .with the
needle.. If the doctor should open a vein, he
must pay $100. , Opening the vein usually ruins
it lor further use. so that ?10U is considered
cheap. Brooklyn Daily Lagle.
"NO COMPROMISE" ON TREATY.
A menage from the White Houit brings
word that the president hat ai yet seen no light
sufficient to guide him away from hit itand on
the Treaty of Venaillei. He is willing to com
promise with every nation on earth but the
American. Thii remarkable exhibition "of ob
stinacy, for that is finally what the matter
comes to, is the more noteworthy because of
the announcement from Paris that the premiers
of France and England are ready to accept the
reservations adopted by the senate. Wilson says
there will be no compromise. He most have his
way or nothing.
It is idle for the president to say he will
put the onus for the situation on the republican
senators. In November, 1918, he made a per
sonal appeal to the voters of the United States
to give him a congress that would, be subser
vient to him, and it was denied. In several spe
cial elections held during the prseent year, the
League of Nations was made paramount issue,
and in each the opponent of the league was
victorious.
What is there to justify the president in as
suming that he is right, and all the 1 rest are
wrong? He has asserted that the great ma
jority of the people of the United States want
the League of Nations, but the only genuine
tests of sentiment on this point have gone
against him.
In March last Mr. Wilson had ample notice
that portions of the proposed covenant were
distasteful to Americans, that it was not of a
character that could be safely entered into by
this nation as a permanent arrangement. The
answer to this objection has uniformly been,
"Take it, and amend it after." To this the ob
jectors have replied that a, wiser course is to
make it satisfactory in some regards at first, and
then we will know where we are going. The
president steadfastly declines to join in this pre
caution on behalf of his country.
Long ago it was apparent that the democrats
had determined to carry the treaty fight over to
1020, then to make it the dominant issue of the
presidential campaign. This bit of trickery is
too transparent to deceive anybody who does
not want to be fooled. Republicans will not
shirk any responsibility that is theirs, but pro
pose to devote the best of their efforts to home
affairs, to make America safe for Americans,
something that has been sadly neglected by the
present administration. While all will sym
pathise with Europeans in . the troubles, not
many are anxious to longer set aside important
domestic interests that all our national re
sources may be devoted to binding up the heart
of the world.
Peace may be. secured whenever the execu
tive finds it possible to meet with the senate
and arrive at a' settlement. In the meantime
the man who "kept us out of war" is using his
constitutional prerogative to keep us in war.
War Not at an End.
A decision from the United States supreme
court not only affirms the constitutionality of
the war-time prohibition act, but settles one
other important question. The armistice did not
end the war, according to the view of the judges,
but left all the extraordinary legislation in ef
fect. The operation of the controls of the rail
roads, fuel, food, sugar, etc., also confirm the
extension of the law forbidding the manufacture
or sale of intoxicating liquors of any kind.. That
the president saw, the matter in a different light
when he 'vetoed the bill passed by congress to
enable the enforcement of the act is of no con
sequence. While this will be disappointing to
those who had looked ahead to eggnog for
Christmas, it may be welcome to the adminis
tration as confirming the continued exercise of
the unusual authority given the president in con
nection with the war.- It also leaves open the
question as to how" long that power may be ex
ercised in absence of the direct repeal of the
laws that confer it. Such repeal might be passed
by congress,, but would almost certainly meet
a veto that perhaps could not be overriden. The
"complication is not serious, but the situation
presented is interesting. -
Church and State.
Nebraskans are a God-fearing people. v In
no other state is a greater proportion of the
population listed as devoted to the practice of
religious observance. ' No other state in the
union has more safely provided for the free ex
ercise of religion. When the foundations of
the commonwealth were laid it was wisely ar
ranged that no restriction should be put on the
right of any to worship God according to the
dictates of conscience. Out of this flows the
restraint of religious instruction in the common
schools of the state. The wisdom of this is
obvious and unquestioned. Any move toward
a modification of the security that exists is in
the direction of disorder. Church and state
must ie kept absolutely separate if the various
sects are to be permitted to enjoy perfect free
dom in the pursuit of their, peculiar beliefs. Con
fusion will surely follow the inclusion of any
provision in the constitution that undertakes to
extend -the simple statement of right it now
contains.
Reduction in Wheat Acreage.
Standing alone the announcement from the
Bureau of Crop Estimates that the area sown
to wheat in the United States is more than 12,
000,000 acres less than that of last year might
be looked upon as alarming. It would mean s
decrease in the yield of around 150,000,000 bush
els. As a fact," however, it is probably true that
the next crop will be very Jittle below that of
the current year in number of bushels. In 1917
and 1918 great emphasis was laid on the produc
tion of wheat, and many millions of acres were
added to the, sown area from which no adequate
return was had. This is due to a variety of
causes. In Nebraska, Kansas and the Dakotas
abnormal weather conditions cut down the yield
materially in both years, so that the total con
tribution of these states to the wheat supply of
the world fell below the normal; in spite of
the extra effort made to increase it In other
states land not suiable for the growing of wheat
was seeded to the crop, and only a scanty re
turn was harvested. Tn the reduction of the
area reported as sown to wheat may be noted
a possible return to crops that are ordinarily
just as important and which will bring far better
returns.
The president sacrificed Shantung to appease
Japan, and has watched Italy grab Fiume, but
he can see no reason why he should concede
anything to Americans.
Eggs are selling at $1.0 in Denver. Too
bad Wolf Londoner is not alive to remind the
present generation of what went on but there

Tenderness to Alien Radicals
.. From the New York Timet.
Secretary of Labor Wilson should recon
sider his refusal to transmit to the house im
migration committee, at its request, the report
made by Mr. A. W. Parker on the administra
tion of Mr. Frederic C Howe, lately immigra
tion commissioner at this port. Mr. Wilson re
fuses on the ground that the confidential nature
of the report makes the submission of it to the
committee incompatible with the pbulic interest.
There can be no doubt of his good intentions
and good faith in taking shelter, or rather in
sheltering Mr. Howe, behind the hallowed for
mula of incompatibility with the public iinterest.
This, however, seems clearly a case in ,which
the suppression of information asked for by
congress, or a committee of congress, is com
patible with the public interest
On account of his radical associations, ten
dencies, and beliefs Mr. Howe was curiously
unsuited to the post of commissioner of immi
gration when public policy required a just se
verity, with no partiality or favors, toward the
dangerous aliens seeking by propaganda or by
direct acts of violence the overthrow of the
government of the United States. A corre
spondence published a few days ago showed
that Mr. Howe was addressed in terms of
friendship by most notorious anarchists. His
conduct in presiding over a bolshevist meetiing
in this city where, without rebuke on his part,
the administration tov which he was responsible
was derided and assailed, was in itself sufficient
formal reeason for his immediate removal. The
commissioner general of immigration, Mr. Ca
minetti, intimates that Mr. Howe's resignation
was nonvoluntary; but he declined to give any
information as to what caused it.
Mr. Caminetti's position was not personal.
He held that he could not "break faith with the
department." Here again Secretary Wilson is
responsible. In view of what is known and
what is suspected in regard to Mr. Howe's ten
derness to undesirables; in view of Mr. Camin
etti's ingenious confession 'that certain aliens
were not deported to their own countries be
cause harm might come to them in the unset
tled conditions of war; in view of the general
public knowledge that foreign revolutionaries
in the United States have lono carried on and
are still carrying on their sinister activities
without much effective opposition from the
government they seek to suppress; in view, too,
of the feeling in congress and out of it that
many 'dangerous aliens ought to be deported
and that few have. been deported, surely the
Deparment of Labor owes it to the country to
tell it just what went on at Ellis Island in Mr.
Howe's administration. This is no matter per
sonal to Mr. Howe, although a publication, not
suppression, of the report, with the resulting
suspicion, must be the friendliest course to him.
The people have a right to know what the
Department of Labor, through this former im
migration commissioner, did or neglected to do
in regard to dangerous aliens. Even as a mere
matter of policy, aside from any question of
right, Secretary Wilson will be wise to com
municate the Parker report. Can it have es
caped his notice that Senator King of Utah,
a democrat, has brought in a bill to withdraw
from the Department of Labor the enforcement
of the law for the deportation of aliens?
Markets at Our Doors
Dislocation in practice as well as theory has
been one of the most marked rrsults of the
great war. Old ideas have been uprooted as
well as old boundaries, and the world's trade
has been diverted to new channels. Many of
these changes bid fair to be of great advantage
to the United States. New markets, in fact,
have been opened at our very doors which it
would be fatuous to let slip.
, The islands and coasts of the Caribbean have
awakened to the fact that their needs can be
supplied with more facility, cheaper and in
greater quantity from this country than from
their former centers of trade in European ports.
It has taken a war to bring about this awaken
ing, but at last the opportunity is here.
Latin America naturally used to trade chiefly
with Spain, and the French. Ensrlish and Dutch I
colonies preferred dealings with the mother
lands whence they came.' Haiti, despite the de
feat of Napoleon's victorious legions by the
colored troops of Toussaint L'Ouverture, con
tinued to send its products to France for a hun
dred years-until the war blocked this route.
Now Haitian coffee, one of the finest varieties
in the world, has firmly establishes a market
here, and honey and dyewoods are being
shipped to New Orleans and New York instead
of Bordeaux and Havre.
Colombia and Venezuela are furnishing oil
in increasing quantities, and England and Ger
many are already active in supplying their
wants. Venezuela and Trinidad, with inex
haustible lakes of asphalt, so much needed for
good roads here, are crying out for American
machinery. New York Herald.
Reviving Moonshine Industry
Since September 9, 1917, the distillation of
whisky and other spirits for beverages has been
unlawful in the United States. Since July 1
last the sale of such commodities has been for
bidden by the war prohibition act.
The first result of this legislation was to
give distillers and wholesalers and retailers of
liquor a monopoly of stocks on hand, of which
they took prompt advantage by increasing all
prices extortionately. A secondary develop
ment is now revealed in the report of the com
missioner of internal revenue, snowing that dur
ing the year that ended June 30 last 5,909 illicit
stills had been seized, as against 2,749 the year
before.
Up to' this point only one law had been vio
lated by the moonshiners, but the multiplica
tion of offenders arrested plainly indicates how
quick , was the response to conditions which
quickened the demand for contraband goods
and inflated prices and profits beyond all pre
cedent. Further light is thrown upon the sit
uation by the estimate of the bureau that with
another law now to be disregarded the one
that prohibits sales the number of illicit stills
in operation today probably reaches 60,000 and
is steadily increasing.
As Georgia and North Carolina, both dry
for ten years or more, are the principal seats of
this reviving industry, we may . leave to the
imagination the statistics of a year or two hence
when, under nationwide prohibition, the returns
from the dissolute wet states begin to come in.

Neigroc not "Cheap" lbor.
Omaha, Dec 18.-!-"To the " Editor
of The Bee: The gentleman from
Osceola presents a decidedly vague,
illogical, unfair, unreasonable, im
possible solution in settling he min
ers' or any other kind ot. etrike by
bringing negToea from1 the south to
replace our dissatisfied laborers. His
remuneration theory is absurd. The
same economic situation that pres
ents Itself to other races must be
met by tha negro. Wa entertain as
high ideals of American citizenship
as any other race. How can we at
tain them If we permit ourselves to
be used as strikebreakers? We have
sufficient evils .without acquiring this
mistake. . Mine operators in Illinois
used the Osceola plan 25 years past,
and there are sections of that great,
state cursed with race friction till
now. Instead of trying to place us
lower in labor's opinion, he should
have been devising ways and means
to. rid America of the artificial sup
ply and demand situation. Our ad
vent in this land of ours was not
of our volition. We are not going
to he intimidated, exterminated, nor
imported, we are going to stay right
here and thrive while watching the
mercenary class reap a whirlwind of
dragons" teeth, fanatical creeds and
Isms, aided, fostered and abetted by
the -scum of Europe's undesirables
who managed to beat Ellis Island
and other ports of entry. When the
corporations were evading all known
immigration laws no one raised a
protesting hand In favor of us.
We are 100 per cent Americans,
have stood by the flag in every crisis
rrom Lexington to Verdun, but we
will not permit any one to use us to
break strikes or lower our standard
of living. As long as the white la
borer receives high wages we will
not be satisfied with any other treat
ment. W. E. ALEXANDER,

Clearing Snow From Walks.
Omaha, Dec. IB. To the Editor
of The Bee: ' It seems to me that it
Is about time the police department
would get busy and order people to
clean the snow from their walks.
There are. many of us who clean
the snow from our walks as soon as
we get the time after the snow quits
falling, and many times begin be
fore the snow quits falling, while
there are marjy people who have not
removed a particle of snow from
their walks this winter. Some will
not remove their snow even when
asked to do so by their neighbors.
Such people need to be Jogged up by
the police force. It looks as If those
who do not clear the snow from
their walks are either lazy or are
too contrary to clean them off.
Some . need the exercise anyhow
and it would do them good to get
out and' get good and cold and kill
the disease germs they may be in
fested with.
We who clean oft our walks have
good reason for wanting others to
be compelled to clear the snow from
their walks when we have to wade
Into their enow banks knee deep on
their walks. , r
So, Mr. Editor, please publish this
and give the policemen a hunch to
get busy and make all clean the
snow from their walks. It will be
better for policemen to go around
and order people to clean the snow
from their walks than to have neigh
bors complain and cause hard feel

There are many skate sail models,
popular in various parts of the coun
try. Some cost more than others,
and some require more skill to man

a standard one, capable of high
speed, and the dimensions are for
the average boy. It requires two
poles and some canvas or sheeting,
Bamboo is the best material for
poles, but is not always available. A
good substitute is 1x2 white pine,
sold at the lumber yards for, furring
strips. You will need one pole 10
feet 6 inches long and another, the
spar, 6 feet long. Make the sail,
6x10 feet, as shown, of very light
canvas or unbleached cotton sheet

At the wide end of the sail, lap
the canvas over the 6-foot pole
and tack it with carpet tacks. A
better job would be a deep hem
through which the spar may be
slipped. Bore a H-inch hole through
the middle of the spar and another
through the 10-foot p6le 2 inches
from its end. A piece of rope
through the two holes will furnish
an easy way to rig the. spar and
to pull the sail taut. At the pointed
end of the sail, sew a pocket into
which the end of the long pole may
be slipped. It is well to hem the
sail s edges to avoid ravelling. To
carry or store the sail, unhitch the
spar and roll the sail about the
two poles.

inches long by two inches wide is a

irregularly to twigs.
For Your Christmas Tree.
Cut narrow strips of gold and sil
ver paper and twist it as one doe3
for the old-fashioned lamD liehters.
Make the finished papers as slender
as you can and attach a loop of very
fine wire to the end of each. These
make a good substitute for the ex
pensive icicles for decorating a tree,
just as pretty and almost costless.
Quaint little figures can be made
of lollipops. Draw a face on the
paper covering of the candy. Wire
two slender rolls of white crepe
paper to the stick for arms. Then
dress up the lollipop in bits of bright
cloth or paper to represent clowns,
Santa Claus, characters from fairy
tales, such as Red Ridinar Hood,
Pierrette and Cinderella.
Get a couple of boxes of good-
sized holly, Santa Claus, or red
stocking Christmas seals. Cut circles
of five-pointed stars from white bris
tol board or water color paper and
mount one of the seals in the center
cf each. When the paste is quite
dry gild the mounts around the edge
of the. seal so as to completely cover
the back. If you are clever at using
water colors, paint the mounts holly
red.
Punch a small hole in the top of
each of these circles or stars and
suspend them by a fine thread or
gilt cord from the twigs of the
Christmas tree.
