What The Bee Stands For:
1. Respect for the law and maintenance of
order, ,
2. Speedy and certain punishment of crime
through the regular operation of the,
courts.
' 3. Pitiless publicity and condemnation of
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

Maeterlinck in Phonetic
English
i
Maeterlinck's attempt at a lecture in phonetic
English appears to have been about as complete
a failure as it is possible to conceive. Yet has
the Belgian poet in all his career had a greater
personal' triumph than he won over his vast
Carnegie hall audience? It could not compre
hend his English and only partly understood his
French and was naturally bored by the expedient
of having his discourse translated sentence by
sentence from the platform. But it saw the thing
through, made light of its own impatience by
cheering the lecturer and advising him what to
dp in his dilemma, and by a generally polite be
havior mitigated the ordeal for him and itself.
It was an exhibition of public manners alto
gether creditable and equally remarkable as a
personal tribute to a distinguished visitor. The
audience, to be sure, was a friendly one, whose
estimate of the poet was too deeply rooted to
be altered by a contretemps. It had come to
praise, but the opportunity to scoff was an un
usual one. Perhaps we have improved in these
matters since Mrs. Trollope wrote about us.
But the fact seems to be established -that
even a great author cannot master a foreign
language in six weeks well enough to lecture in
it. The expectation that he could, both on his
own part and that of his agents, showed a rare
confidence in human ability. There remains the
problem of continuing M. Maeterlinck's lec
tures in a language he does not understand and
which the conditions of his contract are said to
call for, or of giving them in French. No doubt
most of his admirers will prefer to hear hira in
his native tongue and to catch only a sentence
here and there in the precise and beautiful orig
inal rather than to gain the substance of the
lecture in lame and halting English a disil
lusioning experience. And perhaps more Amer
icans now understand French more or less well
"than is supposed. At least they have a new in
centive to learn it New York World.
HINES PLAN OR PLUMB PLAN.
, How far Walker D. Hines reflects the opin
ion of his chief in the views as to the future of
the railroads may never be known. Whether
the president entertains ideas that may have
been voiced by the federal railroad director, or
whether these ari the outgrowth of his own ex
perience, they are of interest because of their
source. Also because the. question of railroad
ownership and control is to be a "paramount"
in the coming campaign, at least from the
democratic camp.
The plan of icompulsory consolidation of ex
isting -lines into, groups is open to several se
rious objections, chief of which is the danger
that the strong ' lines of the country will find
themselves saddled with the weaker ones, to
their detriment. This is repugnant to sound
business principles. It is unwise and unfair to
require a prosperous, well directed business to
sacrifice any part of its earnings to assist an
other that is neither prosperous nor well di
rected. Senalor Cummins has provided for the
pooling and pro-rating of net earnings, which
amounts to the confiscation of the earning
power of a strong road in favor of a weak,
something that lacks support in justice or
equity.
It is possible to provide a pooling arrange
ment of gross earnings,' an operating contract,
or some similar device, subject to the approval
by trie government, which would meet condi
tions contemplated in either of the three plans
now proposed. 'Such agreements were spe
cifically forbidden i prior to the war, but ex
perience has shown their need, and wisdom
suggests their adoption. "
As to the tripartite control, shared by own
ers, employes and public, we already have
something- closely approaching that in the In
terstate Commerce commission. It is a govern
mental agency, the only means by "which the
public can participate in railroad management
Railroad employes and owners are a part of the
public, and in general terms their interests are
identical. The owners are interested in selling
and the public in buying transportation, service.
All meet and are served by the commission.
Most of the confusion in the public mind
concerning the railroads flows from the activi
ties of miracle workers, who are going to pro
vide cheap rates, high wages and efficient serv
ice through some form of hocus pocus that will
set aside the ordinary rules of business, sus
pend economic laws and afford something for
nothing. Whether trfe- Cummins plan, the Esch
plan, the Plumb plan or the Hines plan be
dopted, money will be needed to build, equip
and operate railroads, and this money must
come from investors or from the general funds.
If it is put in by the public, it will be because
it produces an income; if from the government,
it will be drawn from the the Ipublic by taxa
tion, and that, is all there is to it. ' L
Socialists Put to Test ,
A startling and somewhat drastic action by
the legislature of New York will have the ef
fect of putting socialism squarely ' before the
people. Inf requiring that the five avowed so
cialists ejected to the house give proof of their
qualification to sit a way is opened to determine
something of the -nature of -the political
doctrine they profess.
The so-called party is a nebulous, vague and
inchoate body. The spectrum of its doctrine
ranges from the infra red of mild protest to the
ultra violet of downright anarchy. It is di
vided and subdivided into groups, loosely artic
ulated, composed of people of uncertain mind
revolving around some individual of positive or
negative' capacity, all groping for something
they have not got. j
So far as its alleged fundamentals are con
cerned, they have uniformly been rejected by
civilized society. Communalty in property long
ago vanished before the rising sun of enlighten
ment; such revolting doctrine as communalty in
women,, public provision for the production and
care of children, and their accompaniments,
even savage races have abandoned. The "dicta
torship of the proletariat" means control by
the unjit; the altruism hugged b the dreamers
never did and in man's-imperfect state never
will exist. ,
Most manifestations of socialism are harm
less, the danger only arising as they lead the
individual on by imperceptible gradations until
he becomes a destructive instead of a con
structive agent. For the Utopia to which they
look will only be attained when all existing
forms are destroyed and new relations set up.
In New York the socialists are challenged
just now on a definite point. They owe al
legiance to an organization, agreeing to be
bound by its determinations, which has openly
opposed the government of the United States
Into that organization on terms of equality
enemies of the United States have been ad
mitted. On this the right of the represent
atives of the party to participate in the gov
ernment of the state of New York is questioned.
The answer will be interesting to all Americans.
Co-operation to Meet Living Costs.
Railroad section hands and shop laborers
are moving in a practical way tp meet some of
their living costs. They have purchased an
overall factory and plants for producing other
articles most purchased - by them and will
operate the establishment for their own benefit.
Other railroad unions are talking of engaging
in a similar venture. Co-operative merchandis
ing is not an experiment. While it has pre
vailed to but a limited exjent in America, in
other lands, notably in Great Britain, it has
been widely practiced and is very successful. If
the labor unions find themselves situated so that
they can engage in the manufacture as well as
the sale of the goods their members need,11 they
will have a great advantage in the matter of
price to consumer, as they should be able to
eliminate most if not all the profit taken ' be
tween factory and user. It is a definite way
to solve the cost of living problem, and the out?
come of the trial to be made by the section
hands will doubtless determine others who are
contemplating engaging in a like undertaking.
The first air mail reached .Omaha an hour
ahead of schedule time, and it was not a good
day for flying. Wait till the boys get ac
customed to the route, and see some records J
hung up. ;
The English language contains something
like 480,000 words, but at that it falls short of
enabling a good citizen to express his opinion
of the bolsheviki.
New Yorkers evidently ieel they have had
enough of the radital reds, and are leading off
to pull their teeth. This country is not ripe for
the "revolution, ,.
, Dr. Butler on Prohibition
From the New York Times. '
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, undoubtedly
the fittest of all proposed candidates for the re
publican nominition for president, "has given a
clear answer to the superintendent of the State
Anti-Saloon league, who asked his views about
prohibition. Like so many others, he has "long
believed the saloon to be a public nuisance that
should be abated," buthe hasn't supported pro
hibition because he did not believe it either "a
just or proper way to deal with the problem."
But the eighteenth amendment is become a part
of the fundamental law. "As such it has the
same claim to the respect and obedience of the;
feople as other provisions fjf the constitution."
t may be discussed in congress and argued in
the courts, "but for the executive department of
the national government it is a closed issue." t
A candidate for president should not Pr?s
dent cannot, use other language. The constitu
tion must be obeyed. And yet it may be a
matter of curious speculation whether the pro
hibition amendment will be and can be enforced;
whether it may not ultimately fall into that in
nocuous desuetude which enwraps one or two
of its predecessors. While it may 'have the
same claim to the respect and obedience of the
people as other provisions of the constitution,
it is obvious that it doesn't have it. Not in this
generation, at least, will it be sustained by that
overpowering public opinion which is the real
sanction of law. In Kansas and some other
severely Puritan states it has that sanction; yet
even there the bootlegger and the blind tiger
are found. All over the country now we see
wood alcohol slaughtering on a great scale.
There has always been a certain small, steady
percentage of fatalities from this source. Their
appalling increase in this last month, since the
beginning of rigorous prohibition and the ban
ishment of beer with even the modest alcoholic
content of 2.75, startles even the prohibitionist
of the strictest sect, but can hardly surprise any
body who has seen prohibition inflicted upon an
unwilling community.
Moonlight stills, a huggermugger traffic dif
ficult to stop, a multitude of household manufac
tures and substitutes, a world of evasions and
frauds are sure. An immemorial and worldwide
habit will make a long and bitter' resistance.
Have not our earnest reformers gone. too far,
tried to do too much at once? Beer and light
wines, as common and regarded as harmless as
water, have long been used in continental Eu
rope. Prohibition makes them impossible, prac
tically forces the use of strong drinks or their
deadly counterfeits. It, is improbable, perhaps,
that congress, still trembling before the Anti
Saloon league lash, will dare to deviate into
common sense to permit the use of light wines
and beer. That is a way to moderation, to tem
perance, which the prohibitionists mistake for
total abstinence. In their eagerness to destroy
the saloon, the too zealouf friends of prohibi
tion are bringing about the prevalence of a
much more sinister and perilous means of liquor
supply, a supply of much more than intoxicating,
of exterminating, liquors.
The Vicious Circle
If wage advances are granted upon the basis
of increased living costs, and are brought up to
the point where they equal advances in the
pricestof necessaries, will those so favored agree
to wage reductions commensurate with decreases
in the cost of living when the . price tide has
turned and trends downward? If they will not
so agree, how can the general public hope for
relief fronf high prices? If wages advance with
living costs as the "vicious circle" expands, how
can the circle contract if wages do not bear
their proportionate share of the shrinkage?
The circle will not contract, but rather will
continue to expand and expand until the break
ing point is reached. Extravagance will beget
higher prices until there will be renewed de
mands for wage increases to meet the extreme
conditions, and all the efforts of the government
will be powerless to remedy the situation.
This government cannot undertake to guar
antee any class of workmen earnings sufficient
to offset increased prices; nor can it underwrite
the profits of any employer. Its concern should
be devoted solely to the general public, and in
the public interest its influence should be ex
erted toward narrowing the "vicious circle" of
rising wages and prices until it approaches its'
normal circumference, where all the people and
not a favored class may share in the prosperity
and .abundance with which this .country is
blessed. Washington Post

THOMAS P. REYNOLDS.
The guy whose sturdy muscles put a city on
the map is frequently, considered an inconse
quential yap. The gent who digs a tunnel
through a mile or two of rock, who fires a
ship around the world and steams her back to
dock, is rated in the social world at small
avoirdupois because he lacks the special gift of
radiating noise.
But Thomas Reynolds cultivates the work
er's self-respect. He poses in the public eye, up
standing and erect. When restless labor mar
shals forth its sundry crafts and trades to march
them down the avenue in holiday parades, his
distinguished stunt is furnishing the leadership,
the proud and pompous front.
And when a crowd assembles to consult on
labor's weal, his vocal tr.lents furnish an im
pressive, earnest spiel. He barbs the claims of
capital with eloquence and wit. He gives the
heads of industry a hard and heavy hit. The
audience applauds him with approval long and
lour, for Tom's a workingman of whom his
fellow men are proud. i
He ran to be commissioner and only lost
the race because his legs were not so swift and
skillful as his face. The voting public is a chump
of proved and certain class, for which the only
comment is: Alas, alas, alasl In stolid inno
cence and unappreciative calm they cast their
foolish ballots for another man than Tom.

- Omaha, Jan. 6. To the Editor Of
ine iice: your editorial on "No
Place for Racial Groups" in today's
Bee is surprising. It is a piece ot
British' propaganda, pure and sim
ple. Your paper has been hitherto
Tree from this vicious influence and
iincormpted by British propagandist
funds; hence tho amazement at find
ing this article, like a bolt from a
clear sky. But you have evidently
been "seen." Else why do you de
part from your topic of "No Place
for Racial Groups," to take a wal
lop at "8elf-determlnutinn?"
When did you discover that this
principle "contains the germ of
much mischief?" Does the proposi
tion, "Governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned," also "contain the germ of
mucn miscnierr- It contained the
germ of misr-hief for England in
1776, all right, Self-determination
and Kelt-government are identical
propositions and they are both 100
per cent American.
The reason for your covert at
tack on self-determination is per
fectly plain: The campaign for sale
of bonds of the Irish Republic be
gins here next week. English prop
aganda is trying to head it off.
English propaganda has more
money behind it than the Irish will
be able to raise by the sale of their
bonds. Hence England can obtain
the publication of articles like this
editorial where the American advo
cates of justice to Ireland cannot
get a stickful.
Granted, we want no racial groups
here, either Irish or Hebrew, Ger
man, Russian or Anglo-Saxon.
But I am an American who has
worn the uniform of his government
when he didn't have to do it; and
as an American I want to see the
-American principle of self-govern
ment, appnea to every civilized na
tion. I denounced Prussian tyran
ny in Belgium and France, and I
have the same right to denounce
English tyranny in Egypt, Hindus
tan and Ireland, now that the war
with Germany is over. We are no
longer an ally of England nor even
an "associate." As the "American
Eegion Weekly" advises, "Let us
stop press-agenting for John Bull."
Time was when Americans be
lieved, through English propaganda,
that Irishmen were unable to gov
ern themselves, but Irishmen in
America, in Canada, In Australia,
and even in England, have demon
strated that that was all rotten bosh.
The Ulster argument is also found
to be hollow. Now the only excuse
left them is tho recent statement of
Sir lan McPherson, who says: "Ire
land cannot bo free because she is
the key to the Atlantic."
Who gave John Bull the right to
keep the "key to the Atlantic" in
the pocket of his ample breeches?

Soliciting Advertising.
By JESSIE T. ROBERTSON.
The Want Ad section forms a
large part of the daily paper. You
may have found a job fay looking
in its columns; but did you know
that you could make money by so
liciting advertisements?
Several girls in the Jefferson Vo
cational high school, Los Angeles,
earn 30 cents an hour after school
and on Saturdays by sitting at the
telephone in the office of a big daily
and taking down classified ads
which come in over the wire. The
girl who, by good salesmanship,
can emphasize the value of repeti
tion in advertising receives a cash
bonus.
Boys can arrange with many dail
ies to solicit want ads in their home
district on a 25 per cent commis
sion. The neighborhood and small
town weeklies present a similar op
portunity. A high school boy, last
year, solicited general city advertis
ing for a suburban weekly on a lib
eral percentage basis. - x
A good plan is to make advertis
ing cards for display in public
places. Decide upon a calendar, a
match holder, a paper holder, or
HTIME N
II
whatever you think will be most
popular. Go to a printer and get
a sample of whatever you are going
to use. Mark off spaces on the
card, all around the matchsafe or
the paper-holder. Go to different
business men and sell them space
for an ad. Your prices will be
gauged by the number you will be
able to put into circulatidn. If you
have an article which will be used
in every home, you can charge
much more for advertising than if
you are only placing it in offices or
business houses. Ask vour printer
about the price. You will give away
the article, and make your profit
from the advertising.
Another plan is to get out a
household-expense book, or a farm
er's account book. Get some older
person to help plan it then take a
dummy" copy to your bank, or the
building and loan association, and
persuade them to buy it for free
distribution to their customers. You
can sell it for about half the actual
cost of the book, because you will
make your profit, from the ads
which you can then solicit for in
side pages of the cover.

mendous call for freezone, the drug
which is said to shrivel a corn, root
and all, without any pain.
. A few drops applied directly upon
at tender, aching corn relieves the
soreness at once, and shortly the
entire corn, root and all, lifts right
out with the fingers.
This new drug is being dispensed
at small cost in quarter ounce bot
tles, which is sufficient to take off
every hard or soft corn from one's
feet. It is a sticky substance which
dries at once and does not inflame
or even irritate the surrounding tis
sue or skin: There is no excuse for
anyone inviting death by infection

Electrotypes.
By GRANT M. HYDE.
"Why "is it, Daddy, that all these
advertisements "of this automobile
are alike in all the newspapers ex
actly the same pictures and printing
as ff they were all printed at the
same time?" ' '
"Because they are printed from
'electrotypes' supplied to the news
papers by the advertisers. I told you
about stereotyping the reproducing
cf type matter hy means of a wet
papier-mache mat. later baked hard
to form a mold for casting a lead
plate. Electrotyping is a finer and
more costly process for doing the
same thing. Although very useful
for some purposes, stereotypes are
soft, soon wear out. and do not make
a perfect impression. Electrotypes
are better because they have a cop
per surface which wears longer and
prints better.- '
"Such plates are made by elec
trolysis the process you learned
about in school whereby( an object
is plated with a metal by means of
electric current passing through a
liquid containing salts of the metal.
An electrotype is made by plating
with wax. In the process, a sheet of
wax is pressed over the type form
and thus receives an impression
which mav be coated with graphite
and chemicals to make it an electric
conductor. Tlfen the wax is sus
pended in a tank of copper salts and
is copper-plated by means of elec
tric current. The thin film of cop
per that is deposited on its surface
is later peeled off like a paper skin
containing a reproduction , of the
type. When molten tin and lead
have been poured on this film and
hardened, the result is a copper
plated reproduction of the original
type.
"Electrotypes, or 'electros,' are
sent by many advertisers to newspa
pers and magazines as a cheap way
to have all their advertisements look
alike. Electrotypes are also used in
book and magazine offices because
they are light and easy to store and
because, in a magazine of large cir
culation type would wear out before
all of the edition was printed." ,

Ice.")
