Inculcation of Americanism as the true basis of good citizenship. "Dry Friday," In very truth I The political pot is beginning to bubble. The Los Angeles jury handed a body blow to the sob-sisters. If the democrats must have a leader, Mr. Bryan is just outside. Poland Is now the storm center. We may get back into European politics yet. Ruth Law advises women to fly for health's sake. That prescription is easier given than filled. , Nebraska farmers favor continued railroad control, but not the Plumb plan, indicating their sanity. I . Mr. Bryan's guess on the treaty was not ver ified, but the end may not be so far away after all. Cork is back on the map, a mob having as saulted the lord mayor of the new home of the Ford car.

This is better than taking them to the Federal Reserve bank and receiving more currency to add to the already inflated stock.

Omaha's paving program for the coming season is important, as all such matters are, but unless it is carried out more expeditiously than has been the rule hereabouts, the present hectic discussion is time wasted.

This will be done not because Berger holds radical ideas and promotes radical causes and not because his district has not the right to elect a man of radical ideas.' It will be done because Mr. Berger was found guilty of ob structing his country's war activities and there- Kv airline th Herman Tr i nn xrn that hr was a radical and honed to advance the radical cause. He was a German radical and he helped the German cause.- Berger disqualified himself for American citizenship and he is guilty unless another court reverses the verdict His district could and did re-elect him as a radical. Congress, the judge of its own mem bership, will not permit rum to sit in the house of representatives, because he is a seditionist Congress will not disfranchise the district It disfranchised itself. If Berger had nothing against him than the fact that he was a radical and extremist the will of the district should be final.

American re MbUaw Cijeagg, Xabjiai, ON THE WATER WAGON NOW. Today the United States of America enters on a new era, for from now on the manufacture, sale or handling of intoxicating liquor of any kind for beverage purposes ia forbidden by the fundamental law of the land. For the first time in all the world's history a great free, self governing people has determined to abolish strong drink. To others the inhibition has been presented by autocratic power, or by its religious practice, but only the Americans ever solemnly determined upon it as a policy and then transmuted that policy into a principle by embedding it in the basic law of the nation. There are and will be many who for a long time will oppose the enforcement of the sumptuary laws that flow from this condition. These assume various attitudes, but all tend in the same direction. Against them will be ar rayed the, group that is united on the determina tion to banish liquor from the life of the world. Between these is a larger group than either, those citizens who but passively participated in the proceedings that have led up to the present state. If they have assented to the program of the prohibitionists, it has been not because they love the wets less but that they love the 'home more. If disaster has overtaken the plana of the liquor industry in America, only its operations are to blame. The determination to be rid of the saloon and the evils that surrounded and emanated from it is manifest in the acquiesence by the majority of Americans in constitutional prohibition. If experience proves the enforced removal of intoxicating liquor from the daily life of our people to have been a mistake, it may be rectified in some way, but that the American saloon should ever return ia not likely. The worst of the change has passed, and most of the readjustments necessary have been made." Needed provisions for enforcement of the law in the future' will come forth as ex perience develops, but the dry era is already so well launched that only, a little caulking here and there will be required to stop the leaks in the lid. The future will determine the rest. Wool Prices and the Profiteers. Genuine indignation pulsates through-every word of the denial with which Secretary Mc Clure of the Wool Growers' association repels the direct charge of the clothing men that the sheep owners are parties to the high cost of clothing. Dr. McClure gives prices that show but $7 worth of wool entering into the $75 suit of clothes. His argument is, clear and under standable. Another phase of the question is presented by the colloquy between M. L. Rothschild, a Chicago manufacturer, and Sidney Hillman, president of the Amalgamated Clothing Work-" ers. "Who is to blame for the high prices?" de manded Rothschild. "We all are," answered Hillman. Rothschild's suggestion that purchasers be advised not to buy will hardly be needed if manufacturers keep pushing up the price. Pur chasers will not be able to buy. Wool is higher than ever, wages are higher, and everything that enters into the cost of producing and dis tributing garments is advanced far over pre war figures. But profits have equally been boosted to unreasonable heights. Hillman's reply to Rothschild fairly locates responsibil ity. Blame rests on all, and the remedy also rests there. The pyramiding process must be stopped un less the trade seeks disaster. Clothing dealers, wool growers, tailors, are not alone inculpated in this. They merely stand here an example of what others are doing. The process is ruinous, the end is ruination for somebody. The pro posed convocation of business leaders to dis cuss means for ending the inflation may bring good result, but a little conservatism all along the line will do more to put a stop to the pro cession that is now treading near to national calamity. Between the Bankers. The little war cloud that has blown up be tween the Nebraska bankers and the Federal Reserve bank looks ominous, but may no con tain elements of real danger. It all comes from a difference of opinion as to how checks should be collected. In former days the practice was to exact a collection charge on out-of-town checks, although this was not universal. A rule of the Federal Reserve bank forbids this to member bankers. Nonmembers feel they have a right to adopt such practice as -they may deem advisable, within the law. This can not be gainsaid, nor can the federal bank be de nied the right to colkct checks after the man ner it has adopted, although the same does ap pear peculiar. In a country where the exchange of credit is almost universally carried on by checks drawn on banks, and where the validity of those checks is so completely protected by law, it appears absurd that so great an institu tion as the Federal Reserve..bank would from time to time swoop down on a small non member bank with an unreasonable accumulation of these checks and demand immediate cash for their redemption. This Can hardly fall short of inconvenience, and frequently must produce real hardship to banks whose solvency it un questioned. A better way of doing business ought to be devised, and one that will yet leave it optional with bankers whether they join in the body of the federal institution, which seems to possess the power for oppression as well as for service. Hitchcock and Underwood, It was "even Steven" between Senators Hirf'hcock and Underwood in the caucus vote for the leadership vacant since Senator Martin died. The situation suggests one thought that neither is the man the democrats really seek, or the vote would not have resulted in a tie. It is, of course, complimentary to either that his col leagues should hold him equal with his op ponent, but this does not set one or the other out strongly ahead of the group in the place a leader might be expected to fill. Plainly, the choice it finally to depend on expediency, and this may be determined, as most things relating to the minority party in congress have been de termined, entirely as they affect the interests of the southern group. Underwood hails from a state that is hopelessly democratic; his career in the senate is just beginning. Hitchcock comes from a state that is debatable at all times, and which presents now a delegation in con gress solidly republican, save for himself, and in which-the democrats have scant prospect for victory this year. If this holds good, and it is in line with democratic practice, this contest is over, the end being but postponed. In Panoply of High Courage Harry Wolf seems to be something of a go setter, is the matter of dowa-tpwa real titate. T From the Kansas City Star. Whatever may be said of Mr. Bryan's lead ership in hit party it never has wanted the quality of courage, and that, it must be said, is one of the very highest qualities with which leadership can be endowed. Mr. Bryan exhibited that quality when he went to the democratic love feast in Washing ton, and under the shadow of the White House, and before a gathering unmistakably under ad ministration influences, took issue with the president's chief policy and raised a standard of party rebellion against a democratic senate minority. That wasn't the action of mere politician trimming to the wind. It wasn't a popular or expedient action. It wasn't the re sult of temper, impulse or hasty judgment Mr. Bryan did it deliberately, with full knowledge that his hearers would be hostile, and fore warned that a message from the president would be read calling democrats to an opposite course. He came prepared to do what he did, read his challenge to the White House from a carefully written manuscript and fronted the storm. Whether it was good politics or bad it be side the question. It was courageous and that is something that quite transcend! the results of all political tactics. In the long run courage is always good politics. It may react upon hlr, Bryan in the first instance, as similar defiances of his have before, but in the retrospect this is to be observed Mr. BTyan began his career by taking his courage in his hand 25 years ago and has been a power in his party ever since. Perhaps when a man has made that record of consistently courageous opposition to the most powerful and often triumphant influences in his own party, it's time to stop inquiring what his motives can be. Perhaps it's time to admit his jnotive js to maintain honest and in dependent thinking for himself and uncontrolled political action by his party, when he believes the influences teeking to control it are leading it to disaster. What Mr. Bryan did in Washington this week he did in Baltimore in 1912. He went to Baltimore instructed for Champ Clark along with the rest of the Nebraska delegation. And he voted for Champ Clark steadfastly until the New York delegation, controlled by Murphy and Ryan and Belmont, swung to the Mis- sourian. men Bryan rebelled, tie saw what he thought was the deliverance of his party and its then probable nominee into bad hands, and he took the platform with his fighting face and told the convention he was through with Clark. That took courage. Only 13 of the Nebraska delegation stood by him. More 'than 500 Clark delegates on the floor more than a majority of the convention tried to bellow him down. But when Bryan thinks he is right he is a rock upon which hostility merely shivers itself. He stood there and made that convention hear the resolu tion he presented to the Nebraska delegation, against further support of Clark, and then ad mitted in the teeth of all the howling storm that the delegation had refused to adopt it unan imously. That magnificent display of courage and candor was unique, perhaps, in conventions annals. Its result was not immediately appar ent, but in a few more ballots it was seen. The shock of the last Clark charge shivered itself and receded, and over the scattered wreckage advanced the' Princeton line. Mr. Bryan is again convinced that the demo cratic party is in hands that cannot lead it to victory. He does not believe his party can go to the people on the treaty issue and win. Be lieving so, he says so, and invites the storm. Right or wrong, it is for democrats to judge him and then ' events will judge democrats. But as long as men admire courage and inde pendence and the willingness to go against great odds for the sake of conviction, Mr. Bryan will not lack acclaim nor courage its tribute. His Mother Does the Fighting As Grover Cleveland Bergdoll does not deny that he is guilty of "draft dodging," there is in commenting on his case none of the impropriety that commonly marks discussion of offenses charged and not yet proved. In this instance, apparently, all the allegations as of fact are un disputed and the coming trial can be hardly more than a formal statement of them. The young man did dodge the draft, and for a long time he dodged his pursuers, but at last he has been caught, and the details of the catch ing are not such as to make him an object of much sympathy. His mother, now, while hardly to be called an admirable figure as she stood threatening with a pistol good policemen doing their duty, at least by her behavior illlustrated a virtue," real though misapplied, while the son, hiding in the box of a window seat while his mother fought for him, was not heroic. He is quoted as saying that he would have served his country if he had been allowed to serve it as an aviator. That may be true, but one cannot help wondering how his country could know what service he wanted to render, when he remained so persistently far from its eager questioners. New York Times.

To the Editor of The Bee: As a member of the American Legion I condemn some and most of the resolutions passed by posts of the Legion. Why should any individual post of the American Legion have the power to spread broadcast any resolution affecting a citizen of the United States before it is sanctioned and approved of by the head of the organization and the executive committee? . Only a few months ago representatives of the soldiers, the sailors and the marines from all over -the United States met at Minneapolis and there elected a commander, and the different offi cers and committees under him. If power Is invested In them they should exercise it to the extent of disallowing this rustic talent from at tempting to dictate to the public the principles upon which the Amer ican Legion stand. Jack Dempley Is an American cit izen and deserves the right to that title as much if not more than some of these agitators who contend that Dempsey is a Blacker. I contend that if Dempsey is a slacker there are in this country of ours thou sands upon thousands of slackers, for Dempsey, like these thousands, offered his services to the United States government in the capacity of a shipyard employe, an essential Industry, demanding brawny men to accomplish the tasks allotted them. Moreover, how many men claimed exemption on account of a depen dent mother. I don't know whether or not Dempsey made this claim for exemption, but if he did he had as much right to do so as did count less others, yet not to shrink en tirely from his duty he went to the shipyards and offered his services, as did many of the sons of opulent innuential citizens. Dempsey did not go to the ship yards because he was Influential or because he was wealthy, but because ne possessed the natural physical qualifications for admittance. My sincere hope is that the Douglas county post will not go on record supporting any free-lance resolution, proposed by radicals and agitators, and thrown in the face of law-abiding citizens as official acts of the American Legion.

To the Editor of The Bee: After reading the article on the front page of The Bee headed, "Many Jurors Condone Action of Mob," I wonder if we are returning to the American Indian age, and If Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln lived in vain. That court house mob certainly put any act of American Indians to shame, at least any which have been record ed In history. The act of the mob defying au thority, defiling the flag, destroying public property, and trampling the constitution under foot are seeming ly immune from punishment for their crimes. If these laws and con stitutions that have been violated are so unpopular in Omaha and Douglas county that Juries cannot be secured that can be depended on to render an unprejudiced verdict, then In the name of those who fought to give! us our constitution, let these cases be tried where Justice csn be done. Why crimes such as this committed against the national con stitution, and striking at the very foundation of government are not handled by the federal government where punishment might be ex pected consistent with the enormity of the crime, I leave to some of the high-brow attorneys, who are respon sible for the drafting and interpret ing of our state and federal laws. I want to conclude by saying to those who blame this crime on lax enforcement of the law in Omaha, ' DAILY CARTOONETTE. hey You.rYouDONTt;n our Of flYWRYvlU BUflPYOlH AMD HI DID endless noise, but their nerves and sympathies are exhausted.' Qualifications. It is impossible to name all the qualities that are valuable in a settle ment worker. These things are ab solutely necessary; excellent nerves, capacity for hard work, broad sym pathy with all kinds of people and a sense of humor. Settlement work is no place for the hysterical, over sensitive girl who can't laugh her troubles off at the end of the day. The variety of the work is unlim ited. In general, the younger girls are used as club leaders, while the more experienced workers do the visiting and neighborhood work. College graduates, or girls who have attended a school of philan thropy, seem to be preferred. Some practical experience as a teacner in the summer vacation school,- or as a nonresident club director, before ac tually taking up residence will be helpful. It also gives a girl a chance to see if she is suited for the many demands that settlement work makes. (Next week. "The Factory Worker.") Copyright, 1M0, by J. H.

On the other hand, banking is commonly ranked as the highest of all positions in business, commerce, or finance. Only men of character, caution, stability, patience, and abso lute integrity can make a perma nent success. Machinery Replacing Men. There was a time when a bank was a university. All books and records were kept by hand. The mechanical work of copying every thing taught the boys the business. "But now," explains Mr. Oscar H. Swan, cashier of the National Bank of the Republic in Chicago, "ma chinery is taking the place ot men. One adding machine and a girl will do what five young men used to do. If a young man wants to learn banking today, he must learn it out side the bankl" What Should a Boy Do? First, get a good, broad education. A banker is a man of wide affairs; he deals with the whole world. When Mr. George M. Reynolds, president of the largest bank in the United States outside of New York, was a 12-year-old boy in Panora, Ia., he started to subscribe for a doren papers situated in various parta of the country.
