Speedy and certain punishment of crime through the regular operation of the courts. i ; 3. Pitiless publicity and condemnation of inefficiency lawlessness and corrup tion in office. r 4. Frank recognition and commendation of honest and efficient public service 5. Inculcation of Americanism as the true basis of good citizenship. Thrift is the thing. Practice it. Bryan swats the profiteers with words, but words break no bones. Bismarck called the turn cm the kaiser long ago, but kept it to himself. Two hundred moonshiners in Douglas county? Where is Gus Hyers? Little "flu as yet is detected in Oinaha. but that is all the more reason for being careful. There'll be less headache in the United States this morning than on any Sunday for many years. With the men fighting for shorter hours and the women for longer, it looks as if an umpire were needed. Life insurance is one good way to practice thrift, and if you play the game right you do not have to die to beat it. A local minister figures that silken hosiery is "woven by the devil," but it certainly docs feel good to the wearer's legs. A -U: ..II f nl,Allnf n (Amwle 'at sea might not have excited notice a few years ago, but things are different now. It sounds kind of natural to hear from tmitia uoiaman mar. sue iooks iorwara to meeting the chief of police in Pctrograd. South Africa- is hearing an appeal from suf fering Europe, and we can think of no reason why the people down there should not respond. Sam Gompers views on the sedition bill are sound. We have laws in plenty now to cover the matter. Danger lies in the direction of restriction. If Senator Owen can deliver fprty demo cratic senators to vote for "reasonable reserva tions," the outcome depends solely on what they consider reasonable. Turkey quite naturally objects to being carved, but the knives are already .whetted, and the crime of the early Fifteenth century is about to be atoned by the Twentieth. Socialists in Hungary have resigned their seats in the Diet, after a warning that they would be expelled from the party if they did not. In New York it was the other way round. A Chinese writer proves that Hindenberg used the strategy of a great Chinese general who flourished three centuries before the Chris tian era. And, ha might have added, their fin 1 ish was the same. The governor of Wisconsin lias decided to call a recess in the Berger farce by declining to order another special election in the Fifth Wisconsin district. This sets his "vindication" over until next fall. Plumb and His New Panacea Glen Plumb and Charles M. Schwab do not speak the same language. The steel magnate, once a workman, famliar with every phase of shop life from the ground up, has just told the public that the only way to solve the industrial situatiton is to get at it in ja "practical spirit" and not by-booklore nor by attending conven tions and passing resolutions. Mr. Plumb, in stead of taking a hint from the notebook of a superworker like Schwab, is out in another dream of a "tripartite industrial paradise," which is even more "complicated in method and vague in philosophy than bis plan for taking 'over the railroads in the country largely in the interest of those who work on them. The new Plumb scheme will rally few sup porters among the organized labor groups. Who among them will understand what he "meant when hV says that "labor is to receive its return upon, its investment of human effort just that rate of wages which in the free mar kets of the world procures the service of that class of labor, and, in addition to wages, shall receive its" share of all the savings which labor can effect in the processes of production." This is the kind of a double back-action reversible statement that may mean anything or may mean nothing. Robbed of its professorial card-catalogue language, Mr. Plumb's general scheme is little .better than sovietisin. de-Russianized, but quite as tyrannical as nytlmg that Lenine with his Asiatic contempt for the individual ever imag ined could, be put" into effect. Philadelphia . Ledger . KAISER CALLED TO THE BAR. The move on part of the. Entente Allies to carry out Article 227 of the Treaty of Ver sailles calls William Count von Hohenzollern, late king and emperor of Prussia and Ger many, to the. bar to answer for "a supreme of fense against international morality alid the sanctity of treaties." The text of the article of the treaty reads: The Allied and Associated Powers publicly arraign William II of Hohenzollern, formerly German emperor, for a supreme offense against international morality and the sanctity of treaties. A special tribunal will be con stituted to try the accused, thereby assuring him the guarantees essential to the right of defense. It will be composed of five judges, one to be appointed by each of the following powers, namely: the United States of Amer ica, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan. In its decision the tribunal will be guided by the highest motives of international policy, with a view to vindicatingthe solemn obliga tion of international undertakings and the validity of international morality. It will be its duty to fix the punishment which it con siders should be imposed. The Allied and Associated Powers will address a request to the government of the Netherlands for the surrender to them of the ex-emperor in order that he may be put on trial. Germany has solemnly and formally as sented to this through the acceptance and de livery of ratifications of the treaty. Raising now the point that consent was contingent on the United State being a party to the proceedings seems a mere quibble. Although the United States has not yet formally ratified the treaty, it is notorious that objections do not lie in any sense against the article that provides for the trial of the ex-emperor. ' Nor does it appear reasonable that the ab sense of the United States from the formal ex change of ratifications will exclude it from tak ing any part in the carrying out of the terms of that treaty. It has been held that it wis appropriate action to withdraw from the su preme council, for the reason that continuance there might incur some obligation under the treaty that we would not wish to accept, but this does not argue that we would be estopped as tt nation from assuming such obligation vol untarily. Accepting this view, there is nothing in sight to prevent a representative of the United States from sitting on the court before which the for mer German emperor will be presented. The question will be thoroughly debated from all its angles before a decision is reached, but with the ratification of the treaty by the United States daily coming closer, the hopes of the head of the Hohenzollerns to escape trial by an international tribunal hang on a slender thread if resting solely on the inability of the United States to form part of the court. Daniels on the Defensive. The course of the Navy department in con nection with the war will be the subject of a full inquiry by the senate. This is the direct outcome of the startling assertions made by Admiral Sims before a subcommittee last week. The secretary of the navy says he is ready, and that full investigation will be welcomed by him. "The more thoroughly the entire record is laid before the people of this country," says Mr. Daniels, "the greater the pride they can have in the achievements of their navy. The coun try will be entirely reassured when matters are brought to a showdown." This is exactly what has been demanded for a long time, a showdown as to the management of the navy under the direction of the present secretary. At different times the secretary has found himself at variance with high officers of the service, and has never failed to interpose his will and authority against those whose experi ence in maritime matters ought to give their judgment weight The charges now made by Admiral Sims are but a continuing part of some other things that have been hushed up. The lost letter from Admiral Fiske, who reported in 1914 on the unpreparedness of the United States naval establishment, is a case in point. The policy of the department in 1915 and 1916 was not then and is not now such as indicated a lively appreciation by the secretary of the grav ity of the situation. Thecircumstances under which the Fiske re port disappeared and then mysteriously reap peared reflect no credit on the Navy depart ment. It has been publicly charged that the secretary of the navy cited to Admiral Fiske the objection of Admiral Depy to his continuance on the Navy board, and that Dewey personally; in the presence of others said to Fiske he never used the language or expressions attributed to him by the secretary. All these things should be gone into. Either our navy needs a cleaning up, or the Navy de partment needs a new head. As to "Muffing Its Mission" tees Mr. Bryan's Present Paramount. Those who love to think of the dear old days of a dead past will find much pleasure in following William Jennings Bryan on his ex cursions into the well remembered battle fields, whereon he combatted masterfully against the money devil and the demons of monopoly. The great commoner has turned again to the issues of other days, and brings forth public ownership and the overthrow of monopoly as the great overshadowing paramount of the coming campaign. There may be other paramoants, plenty of them, perhaps, but none so potent in its quality of paramountcy as th one he has adopted. To be sure, the outline he gives of his cam paign issue reminds us of that time when he took hold of the trusts before and sought to separate the sheep from the goats, the tares from the wheat, and to divide them into the classification he planned, according as to whether they were henevolent or malevolent. The one he" would foster, the other he would exterminate. In his present crusade, he would do away with all monopolies, owning by the and in the name of the people those industries that "are not competitive. Disregarding the fact that Karl Marx beat him to it, the curious mind may puzzle itself a little over how the distinction is to be drawn. Just now we are witnessing the dissolution of the so-called packers trust into its several parts, that a "competitive" basis may be estab lished. While the great thrust of the govern ment has been against the "big five," it is an interesting fact that at least ninety-five packing concerns are comprised within the associa tion. Plenty of competition here. So with ,he steel trust, the oil "monopoly," even the wires of commerce, and other things. No absolute monopoly has yet been set up in the United States, unless by special grant of congress under jhe patent laws. What the railroad com panies ask is that they be permitted to return to a competitive basis of. operation, . - From the American Legion Weekly. It should be very clearly understood that the American Legion is very much in politics. The august Saturday Evening Post rises lately to question editorially the American Legion's decision at Minneapolis to keep out of partisan politics. It suggests that the legion 'muffed its mission" when the charter conven tion ruled that "this organization shall be abso lutely nonpolitical, and shall not be used for the dissemination of party principles or for the promotion of the candidacy of any person seek ing political office or preferment." Let us suppose that it had been otherwise; that this sage advice had been given and ac cepted by the American Legion before its con vention. Endorsements for president of the United Sfates would have been an early order of business, no doubt- Imagine, if you can, the legion delegates from sat Massachusetts, Ne braska, Texas, Illinois, Washington, Indiana, Kentucky, .Ohio and California, agreeing just who should be the next president and going .home to govern themselves accordingly. State delegations with favore sons on their hands might have been out-voted in some instances, if not convinced. And the League of Nations would have come up for organized considera tion and action, followed by prohibition, owner ship -of railways, nd every other issue, that would have been represented by a few adher ents, enthusiasts and lobbyists. What an hour of joy for the practical politic- uns and practical lobbyists. We are assuming, that practical politicians continue to exist and flourish even at this late date. And that their purely tactical uses, methods, ethics and even powers are unimpaired as a result of the war. And that they would have lost all claims to being practical politicians if they were not in side the convention enclosure once the gates were open. Such being the case, their lieuten ants would have been on the job early and late with "practical advice," for otherwise these rank political amateurs of the legion might spend all their time expounding ard applying mere boy ish ideals that they had brought back from training areas and battlefields, and thus forget iu ucnvcr inc political oacon. Patronage, of course, would have been bar tered like futures in wheat. Beneficial soldier's legislation would have gone on the trading block and into the pork barrel, to be doled out in return for political support. If after such a performance the legion had inquired where congress stood on this measure or that, it would of course, have been more or less practical had individual congressmen made discreet inquiry as to just how much legion support was coining their way at the polls next election. With the nationl convention setting the pace and example, the same performance, of course, would have been reproduced in minia ture in every state convention and local post meeting in the country. Picture the joy of the practical politician were the local posts of the legion a succession of hiving political camps, bartering and trading with old-timers for patronage and support. Picture a state or county machine getting behind the legion's bronzed candidate for constable in return for the legion's support for the machine's impecca ble candidate for governor. Possibly with an appointment as assistant warden thrown in to boot, if a shrewd bargain were driven. For, had the legion's vision of its true mission been so dwarfed as to lead it into the wilderness of partisan politics, it inevitably would have gone into these practical plays for patronage, pres tige and preferment. It is merely a trifling detail that it would hav required at once a division of the Ameri can Legion into at least two great parts the American Legion auxiliary lo the republican party and the American Legion annex to the democratic party. It would have been a bit early to expect lifelong party men in the legion to abandon their parties completely on a ma jority vote of their new organization the American Legion. But they are merely keeping their collective a duty that could be performed by aloofness of their organization from party entanglements. They were practical enough to know that there are a lot of things out of kilter with our political life. At the same time they knew that funda mentally the government is sound enough and good enough for any human being, idealist or otherwise. So how quicken the political life and conscience of the country? How bring ideals and the practical everyday application of those ideals into closer co-operation. Through political parties, no doubt; but certainly not by jumping pell-mell in the heat of a white-hot political campaign which meant division of the ranks at the outset and an ultimate assimilation by political parties. The mistake is frequently made of. ruling the American Legion out of politics because of its Minneapolis action. It should be clearly un derstood that the American Legion is very much in politics. Its members belong to politi cal parties, and no doubt they will keep up their affiliation with these parties in so far as the country is run through parties. As individ uals they are free to become candidates, and no doubt there not only will be a demand for them in public life but a response fully great enough to meet all demands. 7 it w. Jgrtite jritts' Corner But they are merely keeping their collective voice free from party entanglements. They are not keeping their organization out of the politi cal life of the country but out of the clutches of the practical politicians. If the American Legion as an organization has chosen to hold aloof from the old parties, if it is going to work through them rather than with them, it is because it does not intend to burn its bridges behind it and be absorbed into nothingness. It is because it prefers to watch the political par ties of the present and see that they meet, as they must meet, the standards of an inevitable new era in American political life. . It is be cause it prefers being a political spur to being a political asset. We Relieve that, far from "muffing" its mis sion," the American Legion merely escaped its extinction when, at its charter convention, it refused to divide its strength into rival political camps and cast its hat with a whoop into the political arena.

Another Voice for Dempscy. Omaha, Jan. 18. To the Editor of Tha R- Mav T rail tnr a faw minutes your as well as your read-j era attention toward a point wnien has become a vital affair in our daily lire, if we shall be criticised from a group of men for what we are doing and for which we alone are responsible, or if we shall ac cept their kind of criticism as a ha bit, of human nature, without any further notoriety as that of let the rest of the world know that they are living. The different posts of the Ameri can Legion in Colorado, Washington and New Jersey having condemned the war record of Jack Dempsey, the world champion, as slacker and having turned against their own son and glorified upholder of American sportsmanship and world supremacy In heavyweight athletics. They have done it without reasoning at all, and more without considering the conse quences in the sport circles of for eign countries. Of course we are not depending on them, but Jack Dempsey is not more a slacker than those base ball players or million aires, who came in the army as field clerks and captains, as protegees of some of our elected representatives in Washington, and never left the shore and don't know anything more about soldiering than to scold a poor buck private. Jack Dempsey has worked in the shipyard, and by law he was exempt from other mili tary or naval service, but more than that, Jack Dampsey, the branded slacker, has done exhibition work as pugilist and turned the money over to the Ked Cross for the recrea tion fund for wounded soldiers. As thank today the members of the Legion posts in Colorado, Washing ton and New Jersey condemned the man who sacrificed his free time to make money for those who were wounded in the battle for world's democracy that they may have a better recreation. It was for you and me, buddies of the American Legion, therefore let him have a word of thanks instead of scolding. Remember these "But-toned-Button days" are over. BERT BAHR. Jlember of American Legion. Democrats In Thayer County. Carleton. Neb., Jan. 17. To the Editor of The Bee: Several citizens of this county have lately called my attention to an article appearing in The Bee on January 13, written by one J. H. Bryant of this place. They are puzzled to know what he was at tempting to say. An' ex-editor ought to surelv be able to make himself understood. The facts are that Mr. Bryant has been census enumerator before and had sent in his application this time, and had walked to Hebron, our county seat, through the deep est snow of the season to take the examination. When he got there he did not take the examination, but came home on the first train and told the boys there were too many democrats there for him. Since 1 was the only applicant from this precinct they could do nothing else but give me the appointment. So far as the "scarcity of demo crats" mentioned by Mr. B., we find upon examination of past records that we have always had a fair rep resentation among the county offi cers. We don't care how muehthe "yellow curs" may laugh, or how much' "respect" they may have for themselves, the truth of the matter is the "thinking republicans of this country are more than dissrustcd with our present state administra tion and some of its "messes," for example the Kirk affair. But Mr. Bryant should not feel so pessimistic. He is still our street commissioner, if he did get the posi tion partly by self-appointment. We honor him as a member of our town council and we stand ready to help him to other places of usefulness in our little village and precinct. We admonish him. however, to throw off his cloak of gloom and despon dency and try to forget the past. E. K. LICHTT. Chii Klect One.

EVery boy's mother would be grateful for a signal or buzzer sys tem leading from boy's room or den to the kitchen so that she might call him by pressing a button. The boy who des not feel cap able of making a buzzer can buy a cheap bell or buzzer atan electric shop. His job then is merely to string the line, and in most houses gas, water or steam pipes will serve as one wire. He will then fasten the buzzer to the wall in his room, run an insulated copper wire from one of its connections to a pair of dry cells, then to the near est pipe. The main line wire he will string above the picture mouldings, inct cnneniriious route, to the down stairs button. From the button heT will run another wire to the near est pipe.

Adjustments are provided by sliding E back or forth and by slipping a small wedge, whittled from a match, under F at W. In operation F should touch E at G; when the current comes the magnets draw F to them and break the circuit at G; then flies back again and remakes the circuit and so on. Careful adjustments may be needed. (Tomorrow learn how to hike in the rain.) Copyright, 1920. by J. H. Millar. Kfflcieiicy Methods. When half a dozen women get to gether they all talk at once.
