Defying the Coal Comissionm
If the coal-operators' statement denying that
they are bound by the recent agreement was in
tended to create mischief it was well timed. It
indicats the revival of the hostile and obstructive
spirit they so persistently manifested last fall.
That all of them join in this belated protest
there is no reason to believe, but that among
them some would rather make further trouble
than see an equitable settlement effected there
is no doubt. ,
In appointing the coal commission, President
Wjlson followed the pojicy laid down of naming
one representative each of the public, the miners
and the operators. It is to investigate and ad
just the matters in dispute between the mine
workers and the employers, with due regard to
the public interest. On that understanding the
men returned to work and the production of
coal was resumed on a scale to relieve the
country's urgent needs.
It is no ordinary controversy between work
ers and operators that the coal commission has
been created to- compose. The government in
tervened from public necessity, in defense of the
millions of people to whose rights and material
interests the miners and operators alike in their
obstinacy were not disposed to give considera
tion. For the sake of practical conciliation, it
arranged for a common meeting place where
through the tripartite commission the whole sit
uation should be reviewed and a lair settlement
attained. Any move from any quarter at the
present stage to defeat this plan may result in
more serious consequences than popular dis
pleasure. The operators as a body will be well
advised if they drop quibbling and lend to the
coal commission their whole-hearted support in
reaching a just decision.
The coal mines are again running, and after
a six weeks' strike the miners and the oper
ators are back at their normal business. But the
United States courts at Indianapolis and else
where retain their full powers, and it is not to
be assumed that in emergency they will hesitate
to use them to good purpose. New York World.
HOME RULE IN THE CONSTITUTION.
For years municipal home rule for Omaha
has been an eagerly-sought goal. It was sup
posed to have been brought within our reach
when the home rule amendment to the consti
tution was adopted some eight years ago, but
we are still being governed under a charter that
can be revised only by going to the legislature
at Lincoln for the periodical changes necessi
tated by the constantly varying conditions. Per
haps the fault is our own for not availing our
selves of the privileges which we have, but it
would be a pity if the constitutional convention
now at work, should not make home rule a
reality for Omaha, if not for all of the cities
and towns in the state.
What in our judgment should be done is to
recast the present optional home rule section. of
the constitution so as to render it operative of
its own, force. Th could be easily accom
plished through the proposal presented by Mr.
Bigelow, based upon a section formulated by
the last New York State Constitutional conven
tion, and which would.make the existing law ap
plying to municipal government the local law for
each community, to be changed in the future by
each city or town for itself through amendments
initiated and adopted by its own people. If our
constitution-makers should not want to go that
far they could at least give Omaha home rule
by simple proviso relating to cities of a certain
population, say upwards of fifty thousand.
Every argument favors action by the consti
tutional convention to perfect the home rule
section. There is no good reason whatever why
the legislature, which should devote itself to sub
jects of state-wide importance, should be re
quired to put in a large part of its time at every
session patching tip holes in city charters that
are wholly local laws affecting only the people
residing in the respective cities and towns. On
the contrary, the inhabitants of each municipal
ity should be forced to take responsibility for
their own government or misgovernment with
out hiding behind the excuse that they must wait
for needed charter changes to come from the
legislature.
An International Court of Justice.
The announcement that Elihu Root has been
invited to assist in the formation of the inter
national court of justice to be set up under the
League of Nations is gratifying for a number of
reasons. It is particularly so because of the
eminent fitness of the great American states
man, who has long been devoted to the prin
ciple involved. As secretary of state Mr. Root
earnestly sought means whereby this end could
be achieved. His approach to foreign govern
ments on the topic is well known. The ac
quaintance of foreign diplomats and statesmen
with the history of the idea occasioned their as
tonishment that Mr. Root was not invited to ac
company the president to the peace conference
at Paris. The issue of that event more than ever
causes regret on part of patriotic Americans
that the president could not have overcome his
objection to taking counsel with the mart recog
nized abroad at least as our leader among slates
men. In his commentary on the draft of the cove
nant, in a letter to Will H. Hays under date of
March 29, last, Mr. Root wrote:
, International law is not mentioned at all,
except in the preamble, no method provided,
and no purpose is expressed to insist upon
obedience to law, to develop the law, to press
forward agreement upon its rules and recog
nize its obligations. All questions of right
are relegated to the investigation and to rec
ommendation of a political body to be deter
mined as matters of expediency.
I confess I can not see the judgment of
three generations of the wisest and best of
American statesmen, concurred in by the wis
est and best of all our allies, thus held for
naught. I believe with them that necessary
as may be the settlement of political questions
it is necessary to insist upon rules of inter
national conduct, founded upon principles, and
that the true method by which the public
right shall be established to control the af
fairs of nations is by the developement of law
and the enforcement of law, according to the
judgments of impartial tribunals. I should
have little confidence in the growth or per
manence of an international organization
which applied no test to the conduct of na
tions except the expediency of the moment.
This expression of his conviction at a time
when it was yet possible to give the court vi
tality had effect at Paris, and it will also have
its effect at London, if Elihu Root accepts the
invitation to participate in the establishment of
a tribunal to which matters of international dis
pute may be referred and from whose judgment
international law will hereafter flow.
Control of Railroads Issues.
One of the objections raised against the Esch
and Cummins railroad bills and, singularly
enough, the loudest cry comes from Colorado
is the control proposed over new capitalization,
and the oversight of further extensions. The
plan is not a new one. As long ago as 1894 it
was seriously advocated by The Bee, and Sen
ator Allen contemplated introducing a bill for a
law to give the federal government supervision
of all capital issues.
The idea is not to restrict or hamper the
legitimate expansion of the transportation sys
tem of the country, but to prevent the construc
tion of unnecessary competing lines or roads
that will become a charge rather than help com
merce. Colorado's objection is noteworthy for
the fact that a considerable total of mileage has
been abandoned in that state, even during the
war, the tracks being torn up and the material
sold because the lines had to be discontinued for
lack of paying patronage.
The worst offenses against good business
practice by the railway promoters have not been
ia the direction of overissuance of stock, but in
the way of building roads for whose existence
little if any reason was found, beyond the spec
ulative possibility of forcing an established com
petitor to protect itself in one way or another.
When rates are strictly regulated and service
is carried on under the provisions of a law that
covers about every detail, danger of monopoly
is remote, but danger of unwise construction
will only be eliminated by some such provision
as is contemplated by the new bills.
Several billions of capital will be asked al
most immediately for railroad uses when the
government turns back the lines to their owners,
and this will be more easily found if investors
feel they are safeguarded. For this, if no other
reason, control of capital issues ought to be with
the federal government.t

A Greek Korytza
From the Christian Science Monitor.
The memorandum which has just been ad
dressed to the peace conference in Paris by the
Pan-Epirotic union in America, setting forth
the Greek character of Korytza in northern
Epirus, is deserving, especially at the present
moment, of very careful attention. Whilst the
immediate purpose of the memorandum is to
reply to certain allegations made by the Pan
Albanian federation in America, the general
effect of the very carefully compiled and very
scrupulously attested information it contains
must be to strengthen the claims of Greece to
this undeniably Greek territory, in the opinion
of all who will give any thought to the subject.
The Greek claim to Korytza is, of course, ex
traordinarily simple and direct. For although
the population of the sanjak is almost equally
divided between the Orthodox Greek and the
Mohammedan Albanian, there is a quite de
cided majority of Orthodox Greeks; whilst, in
matter of culture, there is no comparison he
tween the two races. The town of Korytza
itself is an ancient seat of Greek culture, and to
day practically all th; educational work carried
on in the sanjak is the result of Greek effort. Of
the 72 schools in Korytza, 71 are Greek and
only one Albanian, this one depending for its
support upon the efforts of American mission
aries. Now, as the memorandum very justly points
out, wherever Christians and Mohammedans are
intermixed in almost equal numbers ,and the
peace conference has been called upon to decide
which should have the right of governing the
other, it has always shown itself in favor of
placing the Moslems under the government of
Christians, rather than placing the Christians
under Moslem rule. This being so, it would
seem as if there ought to be no hesitancy on
the part of the powers in assigning Korytza to
Greece. And indeed, there is no hesitancy on
the part of any of them, save of the United
States. But the United States delegates to the
conference, influenced, quite frankly, by the
American missionaries in Albania, have hitherto
been in favor of assigning the sanjak to Albania.
They base this decision on a theory which, to
anyone acquainted with the history of the coun
try, is quite untenable. The northern Epirote,
insists the advocate of an Albanian Korytza, is
not a Greek, but an Albanian. He speaks an
Albanian patois in his home, and the fact that
he declares himself Greek is due entirely to
Greek propaganda and Greek pressure.
To those who have traveled through north
ern Epirus, especially Korytza, such contentions
are, of course, little short of absurd. Nowhere,
perhaps, in all the far-flung Hellenic lands is a
more simple and whole-hearted devotion to
Greece to be found than in northern Epirus.
The first thing, indeed, thaf the Epirote thinks
about, or has thought about for years, when he
has "made a fortune," cither at home or abroad,
is to do something for the glory of Greece.
Athens and other Greek cities have many build
ings which testify to the patriotism of the Greek
Epirote. The memorandum sets forth much
illuminating evidence on these points, showing
the overwhelming Hellenic sentiment of Epirus.
And none of this evidence is, perhaps, more
forcible than the simple statement of Mr. C. S.
Butler, a correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian, the well known liberal paper in Eng
land, who was in Korytza at the time of the
Greek occupation, in the early days of the war.
After describing the palpable joy with which
hundreds of women and children paraded be
fore the Greek crown prince, "cheering and
waving little Greek flags, Mr. Butler notes the
fact that foremost amongst them was his
hostess, "who habitually speaks Albanian in her
own home." "I find it hard to believe," he adds,
"that these 1,900 women, all of whom were re
spectable middle-class matrons, were secretly
pining for the delights of Albanian rule, and
were driven to this demonstration at the point
of the Greek bayonet. Indeed, I can testify
that it almost required a bayonet to persuade
them to disperse after the celebration."

PAUL W. KUHNS.
The human race is frequently opposed to
ease and rest. It does not stop to dig a hole or
pause to build a nest. It wanders up and down
the earth as free as antelope, pursuing over hill
and plain the blinking star of hope; and many
are there who their first and final peace have
found when they were firmly covered with a sol
emn six-foot mound.
To civilize these flying geese and tame
these roaming loons, such is the large and heavy
job cut out by Mr. Kuhns. He heads an institu
tion which beseeches folks to save, to plan with
poise and permanence before they reach the
grave, to rescue precious money unintelligently
spilled and plant it in a piece of ground on top of
which they build.
He guarantees the happiness which they will
thus derive, and promises prosperity which will
abide and thrive. Their family will multiply
and merrily increase, but everything will move
along in harmony and peace. They soon will be
the owners of a Chevrolet or Ford and of a suit
able garage in which it may be stored.
His company, conservative in policy aiid
name, is playing with immense success a big and
busy game. He plans a building of his own to
house their enterprise and with some office to
let to other active guys. v Commend a man of
sapience,, whose stimula'ing loans have made
some high class hustlers out of dull and drifting

Hi bio In the School.
Hastings. Neb., Dpc. 29." To the
Editor of The Hee. The letter from
a school teacher dated December 22,
in your paper of recent date sounds
very rational to some perhaps, if not
all, who have read it. Yet there is
a limit to Bible reading In the schools
as long an different beliefs exist
among professors of religion, and I
found It well to be very cautious
when asked to present the Bible to
the youth. First, the older people
are the ones to read and confer Its
contents to the children rather than
the teacher.
It is harmony the nation is seeking
for at this hour. I have heard more
than one speak of the nonchurch
goer as heathens, but I wish to ask
this question: Do these nonchurch
goers give chicken pie socials, and
do they constantly scorn the church
goer in their presence or by letter
whenever they have an opportunity?
P.esldeB, when the Bible says, "Thou
Shalt Not Kill." What about the
chicken pie they serve? What about
the furs they wear with low-neck
attire, and the last but not least,
how about the high-heeled, pinch
toe shoes they wear that distresses
the more discerning people? The
people who do for the poor and
needy in a direct way rather than a
round-about or switch-me-aslde for
some other day? v
I do believe some people have had
th Bible interpreted in altogether
different light than it should be.
Owing to this we see, read or hear
of the many sorrows, illness and
seemingly Joys of our land.
It is true we must be lenient with
the ones who may be strong in their
belief, whatever it may be, for even
so, it seems to me if there was union
in harmony there would be a way to
remove all evil.

No Food for Aliens.
Omaha, Dec. 27. To the Editor of
The Bee: There is considerable com
plaint over the fact that many of the
people who are buying very large
quantities of food supplies from the
supply stations here in Omaha are
not citizens of the United States,
many of them having taken advan
tage of the fact that they are not citi
zens to keep from serving the coun
try in the war with Germany. In my
judgment no one should be allowed
to buy the government supplies un
less they can show that they are citi
zens of the United States. It does not
seem right nor just that they should
buy supplies that were meant for the
patriotic young soldiers of this re
public, who put themselves up as a
sacrifice for the preservation of free
Institutions in the world, while these
same people of foreign birth got out
of serving in the army and made the
money that they are now buying the
food supplies with, that were intend
ed for the brave young men of our
republic, by staying behind getting
big pay. Every morning bright and
early many of the noncitizens are at
the supply stations to buy govern
ment goods and crowd out the real
citizens who would buy more of the
supplies if they had a, chance to get
them. I hope that something win ne
done to keep these people from buy
ing the government supplies, when
they ought to be kept from them for
reasons of patriotism, If for no other
reason.
I do not object to citizens of
foreign birth buying all the supplies
they want, but I do object to non
citizens buying them and at the same
time crowd out many citizens wno
want to buy of the supplies.

Automatic Pistol's Ancestors.
BT GRANT M. HTDB.
"Why do they call a pistol auto
matic, daddy?"
' Only one kind is called 'auto
matic' the kind, recently invented
and much used in the great war,
that gets its name from the fact that
it reloads and cocks itself.
"Perhaps if I tell you about this
pistol's ancestors, some of them,
you will see why it is called auto
matic. It came after a series of in
.ventions, like the devising of the
cartridge to save loading and ram
ming a gun through the muzzle, as
I told you not long ago.
"After the cartridge - made pos
sible quick loading and easy firing
by a hammer hitting a percussion
cap, the first pistols were like our
modern single-shot target pistols
that must be reloaded for each shot.
But inventors wished to devise a
pistol that could be loaded with sev
eral cartridges to save time.
"On of their first attempts was
a pistol with several barrels in a
bunch. If there were five barrels,
$ra,Urw PmoIVJ

'srtrMqe

each was loaded separately and
turned around, one at a time, in
front of the hammer to be fired.
It was like a double-barreled shot
gun except that the latter has a sep
arate hammer and trigger for each
barrel.
"But to have so many barrels was
awkward. To simplify it, inventors
devised a revolver of one barrel
vith a revolving chamber holding
six or seven cartridges. Only the
chamber needed to be turned and
one barrel was sufficient. The
'double-action' revolver is so named
because the trigger does all the
work of turning the chamber, pull
ing back the hammer, and releasing
it against the firing pin.
"In the automatic, the seven or
ten cartridges are held in a remov
able chamber which slides into the
pistol's handle. The pistol is cocked
by sliding back the top section and
thus 'pumping' a cartridge into fir
ing position. The other cartridges
can then be fired rapidly without
recocking because the recoil, or
back-kick,' of each shot slides back
the top section, throws out the
empty shell, and pumps up another
cartridge. The pistol is considered
the highest development at present
because it works so rapidly and re
quires little pressure on the trigger."

"You should have a 'Daily Duty'
calendar," replied Mrs. Jacobs.
"I certainly need one. But what
is a Daily Duty calendar? Where
does one get them?" '
"I bought mine of some girls in
cur neighborhood I'll send them
around to you."
The girls came next day, and th;s
is what they had to sell: A stout
calendar with the dates in large fig

low it on which to make memoranda.
When folded, the slips torn from the
pads just fit into .the pockets.
Gerta explained it. "You hang this
beside your telephone, in vour
kitchen, or wherever you are most
of the time. As you think of some
thing to attend to next Monday
write it on a pad and slip it into the
Monday pocket. Then when Mon
day comes, go to yOur calendar, Iqok
at the slips in the Monday pocket
and you are sure not to forget any
thing." Mrs. Bartlett agreed that it was
what she needed, and the girls went
away with a shining silver dollar.
Let's follow them to their work
shop. They selected a pretty shade
of tan cardboard and made a little
border of parallel lines with colored
crayone. The size was 7 by 9 inches.
The printer of whom they bought 't
cut it neatly with his machine. The
calendars they bought at a penny
apiece. They were about six inches
by three inches.
The space which the calendar
would take up was carefully markea
on the cardboard and the pockets
were put aDove this space. A thin
weight canvas with a little stiffening
in, it was used. The seven pockets
were made by a few stitches taken
through the cardboard with a darn
ing needle and stout cord. The cal
endar with a few touches of library
paste and two pads of slips bought
from the printer were fastened be
low it in the same manner.
The calendars needed to be se
curely fastened to the wall to be
satisfactory. So Madge took them
to her father's office ajid put brass
eyelets into each corner. A pencil
was suspended from a cord through
one eyelet, and four brass-headed
tacks were sent along to hold it to
the wall.
