What The Bee Stands Fort
1. Respect for the law and maintenance of
order. 1
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
basia of good citizenship.
The quiet at Washington is promising.
One way to end the present confusion is to
stop "jazzing around."

Why the Steel Strike Failed
' There was nothing left for the leaders in the
steel strike to do but to accept the situation and
call off the strike. It had been a failure, and
they could not get away from the facts.
The steel strike failed because no sufficient
justification for it could be shown. It was called
' Against the advice of Mr. Gompers and other
.. conservative leaders of organized labor, who
foresaw what happened. The men were ordered
to quit work not because of definite grievances
. based on industrial injustice in the steel mills
but in furtherance of the attempt of certain
leaders to compel recognition of the union.
From the start it was evident that their plans
were destined to miscarry. Among the steel
- workers sentiment in favor of forcing a shut-
- down was not general. y
If Judge Gary had ordered a lockout in the
! Steel Trust mills he would, have been beaten
.for the same reason that the organizers of the
: steel strike were beaten. They had raised a
. false issue and chosen the wrong conditions for
calling the strike. When conciliation was pro
posed they proved their hostility to any post-
- ponement and flouted President Wilson's ap
peal that the strike be not called 'before the
meeting of the Industrial conference in Wash-
ingto. They were deaf to reason in their de
termination to hasten an open conflict between
employers and steel workers in every part of
the United States, and whatever claim they
t might have had in other circumstances upon
Soular sympathy they forfeited by their wrong
eaded obstinacy. .
Under such leaders labor loses advantages

SAVING THE WORLD.
Soma signs art noted of returning sanity,
the re-establishment of the balance that is
needed to make democracy safe for the world.
A sincera approach to the solution of the
easiest of world-problems, that of excessive
profit taking, may be set down as the first and
greatest indication that more sober counsel is
being heard. This does not Contemplate or
necessarily involve any sudden wrench or vio
lent dislocation of business. It only requires
the moderate, steady reduction of pressure on
certain of the boilers, to a point where they
will show the same register on the gauge as do
those that should be coupled with them, but are
temporarily cut off.
The pleas made for starving Europeans are
part of this; they are no longer based on our
mission to reform the world, to adjust its ways
to our ways, and to fetch the backward peoples
up alongside of us. Now we are asked to aid
only because the women and children, the moth-.
ers and babes are starving, and look to generous
America to help. They wilt try to solve their
problems of readjustment in s'ome way, but ask
us for food they can obtain nowhere else. And
Americans, coming down from their exalted
height of world crusaders, and standing again
on common level with blundering humanity,
will hear this appeal.
Solemn warning is given at home by men
of affairs, whose foresight is clear and em
bracing, that the future is secure only if wis
dom prevails. On each individual citizen rests
a full share of responsibility, and under our in
stitutions each citizen is expected to aid to
the utmost of his power and ability in restoring
healthy conditions of life. - The year that fol
lowed the armistice did not bring the results
expected. A change in course is imperative.
Service and not self is demanded rfow, just
as it was when the country went into the war.
The citizen who is not willing to contribute his
bit to the end that the affairs of the nation be
again stabilized is standing in his' own light.
Common Sense and the Compromise.
A "bi-partisan" conference of senators has
been held, looking to the possibility of agree
ment that will permit ratification of the treaty.
No more encouraging news has come out from
Washington in months. Facing a great na
tional campaign, neither republicans nor demo
crats are desirous of going before the people,
charged with responsibility for further delay
ing the declaration of peace. The challenge of
the president was promptly accepted by Mr.
Lodge, but, as the Nw York World phrased
it, both were talking nonsense. The issues to
be settled at the polls this year are purely
American, and concern cur domestic life almost
exclusively. Therefore it is only reasonable
that all (sides would prefer to have the treaty
out of the way. Approach is already made to
the compromise, and the exercise of a little
common sense will find the middle ground on
which settlement may rest. It has long been
apparent that neither Mr. Lodge nor Mr. Wil
son could get exactly what he asks, but the in
terests of the country may be served by each
of these, taking a little less than his demands
and giving to the people a real start.
' League of Nations Convened.
A great and solemn conclave convened in
Paris yesterday, when for the first time the
council of the League of Nations assembled.
It is to this body questions of international im
port are to be referred for consideration and
adjustment short of war if possible. Philoso
phers and poets have dreamed of his, and
statesmen hive looked forward to it, yet even
now it is approached with such scepticism as
led one of the great men assembled at the open
ing session to warn the others that in this dis
trust lies the greatest danger for the league.
This fact may prove the salvation of the in
stitution. Appreciation of the unwillingness of
the world to accept it at its face value should
have the effect of restraining the council in all
its actions, to the end that no indefensible or
unworthy decision will come from it. Firmness
and even boldness may be expected, as properly
becomes such an agency of high expression of
the concerted will of great peoples, but this
must have in it due regard for the attitude of
other peoples as great and as tenacious in their
pride and as fixed in their sense of right. There
fore we may look with confidence for conserva
tive moves only from the league.
That it is for the moment made up of the
survivors of the Triple Entente and the British
Japanese alliance is fortuitous' rather than sig
nificant These came out victorious in the war,
and it falls out naturally they should be found
in the great council that, is to deal with the
problems of peace as they affect them inf their
relations to the world. Whether the league ever
comes to be other than a, glorified alliance be
tween the nations whose policies and interests
bound them before the war, or whether it some
day approximates the destiny prophesied for it
will depend on how it functions in these early
days. . ' '
The United States may yet take a place in
the council. When it does, it will be on the
basis of absolute security for our independence
as to home affairs. . More is not asked, less will
not be accepted, '
Kentucky's Liquid Liability.
With nation-wide prohibition fairly launched
as the governing principle in dealing with the
liquor traffic, one of the perplexities of the
main problem comes to the front In Kentucky
is stored whisky valued at $400,000,000. This
represents property, condemned in America, but
of value in other parts of the world. Its owners
have delayed in the face of warning, hoping
against hope that they would be allowed to
realize on it at home. Now it is impounded,
kand apparently doomed. Stored under govern
ment lock and key, it is safe for the moment
Should it be detected in wandering around the
country, it will be destroyed without ruth. That
such disposition may be made of it in bulk is
not beyond the range of possibilities. Prohibi
tionists may logically argue that if '"it, repre
sents evil here, it is no less harmful abroad, and
that we as a nation have no more right to ex
port . one kind of danger than another. ' The
question of property rights was not given any
weight in the establishment of the dry regime,
and probably will have no more in the settle
ment of Kentucky's liquid liability.
" A group of Geneva women are credited with
having reaped a profit of above $100 from a
dinner served at 50 cents. And we will wager
that it was a good dinner, the profit arising
from the fact that the women donated all their
time and most of the food consumed. ,
Mr. Bines and the Railroads
, - From the New York Times.
As a doctor to sick railroads, reduced to an
anaemic condition by government management,
Director General Hines is a specialist who
seems to give everybody the blues, officers, in
vestors, shippers, consumers. He . diagnoses
dolefullv and orescribes without hope. The pa
tients are not in extremis, and with the right
kind, of treatment they might soon be on their
feet enjoying fairly good health. It cannot Be
said that thev were hale and hearty when the
government took charge of them, but under
us treatment tney nave grown sieauuy worse,
and now need a tonic which only congress can
supply. Mr. Hines in his address before the
Bar Association of New York proposed a pre
scription which tn some respects was not un
like Dr. Plumb's. That is to say, Mr. Hines
approved of a plan to have the public and labor
as well as capital manage, the railroads. In the
working out of this theory labor would become
the real manager, as the politicians who con
trolled the public's representation would side
with labor against capital, and the result would
ultimately be government ownership, which the
people, with a sad experience of government
management, do not want, There can be lit
tle interest in the talk about rates high enough
to insure a reasonable return and provide re
serves for lean years if labor, the "public," and
capital are to operate the railroads.
Mr. Hines declares that if his prescription
Is not taken the result will be "progressively
disappointing," and in a few years the public
will demand a "radically different plan that
probably will not "stop short of outright gov
ernment ownership." It is curious that he can
not see that his tripartite plan would precipitate
government ownership. Labor and its allies,
the politicians, would see to that. The direc
tor general says the public would have to pay
an expensive price for private management after
March 1, on accpunt of increased rates and in
adequate equipment. The public have paid
dearly for government management in poor and
exasperating service, and they are willing to
pay a just price for good service under private
management. They believe that under govern
ment ownership tney would pay the highest
price of all in taxation and have the worst of
all service. As to adeauate eauioment the rail
roads must have it. They have not been able
to get money advances for it from Director
General Hines, and equity requires that con
gress shall include relief in its legislation.
There may be two opinions about Mr.
Hines' assertion that under federal control the
existing equipment has worn better and gone
further than would have been the case under
"the old form of private management" The
fact, of course, is that the railroads have, had
to do their best with the equipment allowed
them, but their officers have not been mute un
der the affliction. There cannot be two opin
ions, however, about the director general's
statement that deficits have not been due to
"excessive costs." There might be something
in this view if the heavy increases in wages
granted by the government were eliminated,
but that cannot be done -in any calculation of
railroad conditions. The deficits he attributes,
strangely enough, to the fact that "the prices
charged railroad transportation have not been
increased in keeping with the increase in prices
of commodities. That was the government's
responsibility, and it is singular that Mr. Hines
should calculate that if the rates put into effect
in June, 1918, had been declared six months
earlier there would have been a surplus instead
of a deficit for some of the sailroads. He is
always inclined to give the government credit
for the best intentions and to deplore condi
tions that embarrassed it. In the end he gives
"unified control" a certificate of merit and finds
nothing good in the prospect of private owner
ship. Under better economic conditions he feels
that government management would have been
a financial success. It is a poor rule that won't
work both ways.
Plumb Begins at the Top
Possibly in operation Glenn E. Plumb's uni
versal plan for the reorganization of industry
under the joint ownership and management of
public capital and labor would be a great suc
cess. All history shows it is folly to prophesy
the failure of an experiment never tried.
, But if the theory in which Mr. Plumb has so
much faith is workable it might be prudent to
test it on a small scale. Instead of this his pur
pose is to begin with the railroads, after which
he would take over all other corporate enter
prises in manufacturing, merchandising, public
utilities and natural resources. It is conceiv
able that the tripartite ccntrql of the railroads
might not result according to specific'afions, in
which case unexampled disaster would follow
closely upon the heels of novelty.
Practically everything worth while in polit
ical and industrial life is a growth and not a
creation. Before there could be a United States
the lessons of local self-governmenf had to be
painfully learned. Many vast businesses, so
powerful now that they sometimes confront
government almost as equals, were brought to
their present wonderful development by men
who started at the bottom. It is easy to re
construct all these things on paper, but that
is not the way they were built up.
There are people who see in Mr. Plumb the
prophet of a better day, when justice will' be a
matter of course, jwhen private greed will no
longer defy the public welfare and when unre
quited toil will be unknown, but even they will
admit on reflection that with a scheme so far
reaching it is not wise to begin at the top.
New York World.
Man Wants a Merry Life
Professor Widal's directions, in his recent
address before the French Academy of Sciences,
to guide those whose ambition is to attain
longevity are too humdrum to win him fame.
He offered mankind no serum guaranteed to
work miracles, no pellets warranted to repair
over night the injuries done by years of reck
les living. "Sobriety, light diet considerable
muscular exercise," his sensible formula, ex
pressed in one way or another, has been before
mankind's eyes ever since the wish for years
took its place among human aspirations.
A merry life and a long one; -that is what
men want Most of them will sacrifice length
for merriment and think the bargain a good one
until the final mundane accounting is at hand.
When the price of brevity must be paid the
debtor is filled with regret not for loss of years
but for loss of pleasure.
Maadkind does not want sane counsel, the
wisdom of which has been proved by experience.
It looks for a magic ,potion which without in
conveniencing the toatient will sustain him in
his dissipations, mild or violent, and keep him
in shape to repeat his excesses. The man who
tells his fellows to be sensible will not be ac
claimed as is the charlatan who encourages
their folly. New York Sun.

What the President Wants.
Omaha, Jan. 12. To the Editor of
The Bee: I have read with interest
President Wllson'a message to his
democratic friends at th Jackson
day banquet which message being
in full printed in one of your recent
editions.
By stating in his message that the
senate failed to ratify the treaty with
the leagua of nations covenant indi
rectly he blamed the republican
party for the failure, instead of
blaming himself. He aTW blames the
senate (the republicans, of course)
for the turmoil in Europe.
I find it quite Interesting how Mr.
Wilson wants to ram the league of
nations into the senate's throat The
president wants the treaty and
league covenant exactly as he
brought it over from Versailles and
points out in his message that five
nations have ratified the treaty as it
is. What else can he expect? It is
to their greatest advantage, while
such is not the case with the United
States. Why we cltiiens of the
United States shall sacrifice our limbs
or life. for saving the bacon of some
foreign country, and why shall Eu
rope decide our participation in a
war, and why not the congress of the
United States? How can our presi
dent demand the ratification of (his)
league and treaty, when the consti
tution of the United States, section
2, quotes as follows: "He shall have
power, by and with the advice of
the senate, to make treaties, pro
vided two-thirds of the senators
present concur." May I ask, where
is the president getting authority to
frame up treaties and alliances with
foreign countries without consulting
the senate?
I note he wishes to submit the
treaty with the league covenant to
the people to vote on at the presi
dential election. This is political
strategy. Why not vote on this
question at present, with hut this
single question on the ballot? In
sofar as I am concerned I must in
form the president, if possible, that
he cannot confuse me on this ques
tion even if he wants me to vote at
the general election, for I realize the
importance of this made-to-order
league.
He speaks of the guarantees to
small nations. Oh,, yes, except In
dia, Egypt and Ireland. The para
mount issue is this: Are we going
to have a few diplomats of London
and Paris to throw us into a war, or
are we going to have our congress
decide the question as it did in the
past?
But we are told the league of na
tions will, prevent wars. Oh, yes;
you are told there is a shortage of
meat, shortage of eggs, shortage of
sugar, shortage of butter and so on,
but do you believe it? If you do
you must call a doctor and be ex
amined, for there surely is some
thing wrong .with you. Just the
same Is the case of the league of na
tions in preventing wars. Did you
ever stop to think, if such is to be the
case, why not disarm to a great ex
tent and why instead we must have
larger armies, we must build more
battleships, etc.? And do you know
that right now there are' to be built
In England 20 to 22 submarine boats
for the United States? What are
these submarines built for? Do you
think they are for a picnic or card
party? And since these submarines
are to be built, why not build them
here in the old U. S. A.?
In conclusion, I wish to state that
there is hut one question to decide
when it comes to a vote and it is
this: Do you want to take the power
from the United States congress to
decide whether or not we shall enter
a war and give the power to the
European diplomats? ' If yes, vote
so, but think it over before you vote.

Cleaning Silverware for Pay.
By BBLLB CA8B HARRINGTON.
Almost everybody dislikes clean

will hire someone to do it for
them. Ask a half-dosen women
whom you know to let you clean
their silver once s month.
You will need s quantity of soft
cloths like old cottonflsnnel, or the
tops of old stockings. Soft towels
will be needed for drying, and a
soft brush for getting into the
creases. Some skins are easily irri
tated by certain silver-cleaning pre
parations, and you may need a pair
of rubber gloves. Get a square of
table oilcloth to spread on the floor

There are several good ways of

some gasoline evaporates on your

evidence of the latent heat of
evaporation. Did you ever notice
that ice will not freeze crearr in
the ice-cream freezer until you add
salt to melt the ice? That is also
latent heat. I
"It is one of the laws of nature
that whereas it takes so many heat
units to raise the temperature of a
pan of water from zero to the boil
ing point, some more units are
needed to turn it into steam which
still has the same temperature of
212 degrees. -The last units that
make the steam are latent heat, and
the same units come out again
when the steam condenses into
water in a steam radiator. When
water freezes, it gives off just the
same latent, or extra, heat which
it takes to melt ice. Almost all sub
stances show this law when pass
ing from solid to liquid or to
gaseous state and back again but
some substances take on and give
off more latent heat than others.
"Ammonia is used for ice-making
because it handles a lot of
latent heat Although it evaporates
at ordinary temperatures, neat is
necessary to enable it to evaporate
and the ammonia takes this heat
from anything nearby.
"In a refrigeration plant, the am
monia is first compressed by a
pump into liquid form, then allowed
to evaporate in a coil of pipes hung
in a tank of salt-brine, which does
not easily freeze. The brine, thus
cooled to verjr low temperature, is
run through pipes in the refrigerat
ing rooms or other places that are
to be cooled. In most ice-making
plants, it runs through pipes en
circling a tank of water and freezes
the water.

monly used, other substances are
sometimes employed, and other
methods of using ammonia are in
practice."
