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

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.

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

cept their kind of criticism as a ha
bit, of human nature, without any
further notoriety as that of let the

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.

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.

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. Grounding on any pipes
will complete the circuit and cause
no danger.

(A and A), use two 3-in. bolts; take
out temper by heating red hot and
allowing to cool slowly. Fit tliein
with round pasteboard end-pieces
in (B, B, B, B,) to hold the wiring.
Then wind them carefully like a
spool of thread with very fine mag
net wire, one clockwise, as shown.
Then put the core-bolts through a
piece of wood, 3x4 in., (C) and set
up the nuts. The base (D) should be
a heavier piece of Wood. For a
clapper (F), use spring steel, say.
a heavy corset steel, fastened to D
with screws, so that it. stands 'i-'u.
from the magnet core ends. For a
circuit breaker (E) use heavy tele
phone wire bent as shown and fas
tened to C with staples so that
it can be moved. 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.

The scraps of cretonne that arc
left will make you a dainty telephone
directory. An oblong piece of heavy
cardboard about the size of a cab
inet photograph is the foundation.
Cut a niece of cotton wadding to fit
one side, glue it on and then cover j
the whole with some sort ot nrm
lining material. Cut a back and
front of cretonne, fold the edges in
and oversew them together, cover
ing the cardboard. Last of all glue
a small note book or pad to the.
center of the cretonne, add a colored
cord, and hang it up beside the tele
phone. (Tomorrow Hunting Eye gets
stuck in the mud.)

What Money Brings
Money is of value only
to the extent that" it
brings us things that
make life worth while.
An education for the
children, a life insurance
policy, a vacation, a
car, a home, a compe
tence for old age, are a
few of the worth while
things money brings. ,
Before any of these
things, however, must
come thrift. Regular
saving soon creates a
sum of money large
enough to be of value
for what it will bring.
The Savings Department
of the First is the ideal
place for your Savings
Account. Besides being
convenient and safe, it
has eight tellers' win
dows, thus insuring you
prompt service.
