Speedy and certain punishment of crime through the regular operation of the courts. 3. Pitiless publicity and condemnation of in efficiency, lawlessness and corruption in of fice. 4. Frank recognition and commendation of honest and efficient public service. 5. Inculcation of Americanism as the true basis of good citizenship. - Every week ought to be thrift week. Home rule is in reach, if Omaha will only stretch out its hand. Cuba is boasting of its wonderful prosperity. We gave that outfit its start, and look what it is doingl Carnation growers are going to patent their productions. It will be a good way to limit popularity. HOME RULE FOR OMAHA. The members of the expedition to Lincoln from Omaha and. the delgates to the constitu tional convention are agreed on one point that Omaha should have home rule. 'This means full control of the domestic affairs of the city. No one seriously disputes this. Omaha has been and is now at the inconveni ence of having to go from time to time to the legislature to get permission to do things which affect only its own eit'zens, and which rightly belong to them to look after in their own way. Not only is this inconvenient for the city, but it frequently interferes with business of general importance to the state at large. We do not believe that it was the intention of the convention of 1875, nor is it of the present body, to restrict this or any other community of the state in its opportunity for expansion. That the application of the constitution has so worked out is a detail that may easily be remedied. A workable plan for conferring self government on metropolitan cities should be possible. Our school district was set up under a law enacted a great many years ago, and still is successful. The Metropolitan Water district, established under a separate act, operates easily. It should be possible to bring all the govern mental activities and functions of the commun ity into harmony. Chiefly," the fault lies with the citizens of Omaha. For years they have had the oppor tunity before them. All that is needed is to adopt by popular vote the existing charter, as was done in Lincoln, and home rule is estab lished. It will then be possible to correct the .charter at any time by taking the matter to the citizens instead of to the legislature. Any dif ficulty that may arise because of the separate ex istence of the school district or the water' dis trict is subject to adjustment by the people. The problem of home rule for Omaha is not so complicated as some seem to believe. Ap proached sincerely, it can be solved with little trouble. Offices will not go by default in Nebraska this year, if reported filings by candidates count for anythinj. The Chamber of Commerce is talking about a fourteen-story building for its own uses. Watch us grow. The .weather man threatens to mess up our climate again this week, but the fuel shortage no longer threatens. Deflation is said to 'be responsible for the decline in exchange. If it goes far enough, the ,h, e, of L may feel the effect. Omaha school children are leaders in spell ing as well as other lines of learning. In fact, the schools are Omaha's strong suit. Sir John Monash of Australia, emmander of an army corps, praises the American soldier. He knows what he is talking about, too. The present price of the German mark is low enough, but is still far above the mark made by the former emperor of Germany. Little loads of lumber, little piles of sand, are straws that show how the "own your own home" movement, is progressing in Omaha. , , Chirma Cummings denies that the demo crats are trying to raise a fund of $20,000,000, .but does not say the sum would not be ac cepted. Mr. Bryan pronounces his anathema against Cummings and Edwards as champions of booze, but what is he going to do about Hitchcock and Mullin? 1 "With Laughter and Derison." Listen, ladies; this is good. When the leg islature of Mississippi refused to ratify the amendment to the federal constitution, giving the franchise to women, the announcement of the result was-received with "chee and laugh ter." The gallant gentlemen who 'compose that body vented their derison of woman's ambition to share with man the responsibilities of gov ernment. Is it necessary to call attention to the fact that Mississippi is a democratic strong hold? Plainly the purpose is to prevent the women from voting; the oligarchy has trouble enough now in holding down' the masses under its control, and does not want to add another element that might think for itself and insist on being permitted to express its thoughts at the ballot box. Free elections? In the Third Mississippi congressional district a member of the lower house of congress was elected in 1918 on a total vote of 4,780; in the Third Nebraska district on same day, 43,557 votes were cast. Why should the handful of white democrats re linquish their grasp on government, now so easily held? They are willing enough to allow everybody "up no'th" to vote, so long as they are not disturbed in their own satisfactory ar rangement. However, to preserve that arrange ment they will, with laughter and derision, de prive the women of Nebraska of their right to vote, and then come pleading with those who have the franchise to cast their lot with the democratic party! Almost a thousand books a weelc ,were loaned by the South Side branch library, a fair ' indication of the thirst for knowledge in that part of town. A tort of melancholy interest may be ex tracted from the efforts of the socialists to prove that their resounding platform phrases do not mean what they say. - Missing Miss DeKay was found wearing an aviator's suit. She may not have made any Rights, but she surely had a large part of the American people up in the air. Bryan's Government Newspaper Mr. Bryan has long held that newspapers un friendly to his various ready-made issues were naturally corrupt. To this indictment he now adds the charge that the newspapers, which oc casionally omit one of his oratorical master pieces, do not print the news. He argues, therefore, that newspapers must be monopolies, and as he favors public ownership of all such combinations he comes logically to the propo sition that the government should establish, edit and distribute an official newspaper From his prospectus of this patertialitic prirt we learn that it is to publish "the issues as presented by legislative and executive ac: tion, with editorial space divided between the two parties and used for the presentation of the arguments pro and con." We had something of that kind during the recent coal strike in . which the government took a hand. The coal operators stated the ir, side of the case and the miners did the same. Then there were editor aaJs by the fuel administrator, the Department iI Justice and the officers of the Mine Work- : ers union, and when all was said and done it took the old-line newspapers about a month to discover what the quarrel was all about In his advocacy of a government newspaper Mr. Bryan is either too optimistic or too reti cent. Unless he could control the columns of such a journal, making himself and his ideas the sole objects of interest, it would fall under his displeasure as surely as any of the profane newspapers which he. habitually assails. And what a scandal we then should have, with an official organ, carrying te United States coat of arms as a trade mark, hotly Renounced by 'Mr. Brvaa as a monopoly, a profiteer and a tool TV,lt 5tieWiS XMlS WmUL Pay Your Bills Day. Of all the days in the thrift week category, this is the one of prime importance. It is the one on which all the others depend. For your thrift will be of little service to. you if your credit is not up to the mark, and your credit will not be worth anything if you do not main tain it through your own effort. Holding on to money that belongs to another man, because you owe it to him, is 'not saving. Perhaps per cent of all the business, done in America is done on credit. Our' share of the war was financed two-thirds on credit. It could not have been financed at all if the credit of the government had not been good. Business can not be carried on, commerce and industry as" we know it will cease, if credit is destroyed. Our country" will quickly be brought to the primitive condition of barter and trade if the life blood stream of exchange is dammed by a cessa tion of credit. And every man who purchases anything is a corjmscle in this stream. Only when he does what he agrees to do and pays his bills promptly when due is the blood stream healthy and invigorating. Every subject con sidered in connection with thrift week is worthy the attention given it, and each a part of a com prehensive program, but all finally depend on the final one, the prompt and faithful discharge of all financial obligations. Pay your bills when due, and you will not only be thrifty yourself, but will help others to be likewise. "Thrift Day" in Congress. About as reassuring as any news that has come out of Washington lately is the . an nouncement that congress started celebrating "thrift day." Such slashes as were made in pending appropriation bills may not have been altogether wise or prudent, and therefore sub ject to some revision. That the members are awakened to the necessity of checking the mad ness for spending is the encouraging fact. Great enterprises are being exploited at government expense, and enormous sums of money asked for the accomplishment of things that are well enough, and needed, but most of which can wait for a more appropriate time, or being taken up as a continuing program. The war burden still rests heavily on the United States, the distribu tion during the week of income tax blanks being an , impressive reminder of how deeply Uncle Sam is dipping into the earnings of the country. Until the immediate and inescapable obligations resulting from the war and the emergency busi ness that followed it have been cared for, all new projects should be subject to the closest scrutiny. Economy in 'expenditure and a de crease in taxation is what the people expect from the congress now. John' Barrett is entertaining a very happy party of South American visitors at Washing ton, his guests all being interested in borrowing a little piece of change, say $50,000,000 or so, before starting home. This is Uncle Sam's great opportunity to nail down the South Amer-' ican trade. -"" Lord Reading was in a sprightly but sar donic mood when he suggested to Americans at the Pi(grims club banquet that they drink the loatt hr offered in clear water. That is why most of them are "pilgrims ' Summer Coves of Winter From the Baltimore American. I In the Rocky mountains there is a minia ture lake, a perfect gem in a marvel of setting, known as Iceberg lake. Let those identify it who may, and those describe it who can, it is no part of this article to deal with Iceberg lake other than as it affords a contrast for the summer coves of winter. That little opalescent lake is in fact a cove of winter thrust into the very heart of summer; for when the sun of Au gust is shining and the temperature of August prevails there in that little lake pent about by the majestic peaks and cliffs of the great di vide are to be seen icebergs floating upon the bosom of the turbulent water. Just outside the area of the lake is a parklike meadow of nat ural lawn and of wonderful wild flowers. Who could suspect that the little lake nestles cove like in the bosom of summer! Yet so it is. Winter wages fiercely and the stern sum mons of the cold gathers he legions of the snow and battalions of the frost and the en tire landscape is bleak and forbidding. Then there is a break and the sun shines and the warm stratas of air come from the south or roll in from the far seas. The effect is imme diate. There is heard the song of a bird, there is seen a bud with petals showing, and in pro tected spots strawberries may be in blossom. These bits of summer are seen in the depth of winter in suitable latitudes almost every win ter. They are coves of summer, where the fan cies float at will, recreating the glories and the beauties of the season of flowers and of cheer. Miniatures of the season of wonder and of beauty, they present in a tiny way the blue of the summer skies, lit by the golden glow that is seen in the month of June, and with the vio let of a July evening tinting the edges of the clouds. They show the grass turning vernal and the flowering out of some of the more ven turesome of the wild flowers of the woodland. The ferns uncoil their fronds and the mosses become green and soft. , So the little lake far up in the northwest corner of Montana and seen by many tourists becomes symbol of the delightful exhibition that summer can make in the gift of some of its tints and colors and life and interest, where winter pauses in its harsh progress. Just an interstice between the churlish blasts of win ter! Just a bit of (blue in the big patch of gray of winter! Just a song note where was heard no songster before! Yet music and melody rise to the heart and rejoicing is felt because of the temerity of summer to inject a bit of itself. Where winter's cold must quickly stifle its brief testimony to the ever living and ever brightening things of t,he season of earth's glory. ' or Frs for Market. Bralnard, Nb.. Jan. 20. To the Editor of The )t?ee: I notice an ar ticle In The Bee from Julesburg, Colo., by Richard Matoush In re gard to the boycottlmrof eggs. There have been more eggs Rhipped out of this town In the last five years than in any equal length of time In the history of the town, even thoueh there was less poultry shipped from here during the past five yearn than there was In the preceding five. This does not look as If the farmers were giving up the raising; of rhiclo ens or marketing: of eggs to any great extent. I have a relative living close to town, who hag raised chickens for the last 40 years, over 15 years longer than Mr. Matoush haa been an Inhabitant of Mother Earth, and while hla chickens are plump and in good condition and he gets plenty of eggs, too, I know from personal observation that he has not fed them a single bushel of wheat In the last eight years. Incidentally he hasn't the remotest Idea of discontinuing poultry raising. Mr. Matoush also states that there is no food as complete In nutritive value as the egg. Unless physiology has changed in the last few years I believe he will be compelled to acknowledge the error of this state ment, as we were always taught that milk was the only food con taining all the elements necessary to the human body and consequently the only perfect food for man. I think that if Mr. Matoush does a little Investigating, he will find that in nine cases out of 10. where the farmer complains that there is no profit in egg raining, the fault lies with the farmer himself. A CONSTANT RRADKK. ' JiiM&s cfcr' Com&r Dollar-Making Ideas 1 Sharpening Things. By CASE HARRINGTON. Did you ever watch an old scissors-grinder with his bell and his tread-wheel? Housewives from all over the neighborhood flock around him, for shears are always dull, so it seems. , Besides shears, there are knives, meat-grinders, skates, pencils, and if you carry a hammer and screw driver in your kit, there will be many other little jobs which you can easily do, and which will net you a neat sum. An oil-stone is probably the best all-round tool for your purpose. The hardware dealer who sells it to you will show you how to use it. If you can get hold of one of the round steel sharneners which used to be sold with carving sets, it will also be useful. A file is the best thing to sharper skates, and wiil often do for shears, too. Don't Forget Pencils.

That is, the reservation specifically states that this country will not go to war to preserve the boundaries of Jugo-SIavia, for instance, or Roumania, or Greece, without the approval of congress. President Wilson refuses consent to this reservation. Does that mean he intends to put the United States in a position where its armed forces might be used in war without the con sent of congress? What other interpretation of his action is possible! No wonder Mr. Bryan declared that the democratic party could not afford to go to the country on such an issue! Kansas City Times. Change of Air The atmosphere must have been both clearer and more befuddled in Canada since the first -of this year. Clearer because nearly 1,000 orders-in-council more or less affecting and re stricting every resident are abolished and more befuddled because liquor can be obtained more cheaply and more easily than at any time since December, 1917. Government control of pulp and paper, sugar, coal and wool, orders govern ing silver coinage and gold export, trading with the enemy and interment of, aliens and an order relating to war-buying for the government are all that remain of the 1,000 except a few which have been confirmed by act of Parliament. This "government by order-in-council" has been criticized not a little. There may have been some reason for the disapproval, expressed and inexpressible, but it is difficult to know where to draw the lice in an emergency. The war measures act conferred enormous power on the cabinet, which it was justified in the exer cising so long as it helped along the Ji war. Perhaps, however, the Borden government might have avoided some political animosity if Parliament had been consulted oftener, in stead of relying entirely on the authority of the war measure act Buffalo Express. Cfte VELVET 'm full for John J. lYn-liiiiir. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. '0. To the Rditor of The Bee: General Persli ing is the greatest exponent of the United States army. He worked and earned the f:uno and honor which is today being bestowed upon him. General Pershing was selected from the high ranking officers in 1917 to lead the American expeditionary forces because of his foresight and ability to handle big things. He was selected to lead a victorious army and he did. The United States haa never yet. since history of this great republic began, met defeat at the hands of a superior foe. and General Pershing impressed the fact even more so upon the nations of the wprld by the manner In which he and his galloping "2,000,000 Yanks" went "over the top." History has shown and proven that struggle and distress follows every, war, and what the United States needs in the coming presiden tial election is another great leader. General Pershing succeeded In France, and is the logical man to lead the nation now. The writer volunteered In June, 1917. as a private. Was commis sioned second lieutenant, June, 1918.

The schools to which the children run and struggle, push and shove, that each may be the first to share dear teacher's smile and love; the court house which our hasty friends are prompt and proud to burn, despising cheaper justice done in order and in turn; the theaters where trashy films uplift the high class heart all these are part and product of Latenser's high-class art. So let us greet with due respect the owner of a mind where beauty and utility are grace fully combined; for useful things are frequently unlovely at their best, and lovely things are often that because they're dolled and dressed, and here's the lesson which we need: that everything should be in part a thing of beauty and in part utility.

SAILOR. Answer A law was passed by congress to give homesteaders or other entrymen 'who entered the military or naval service of the United States credit with whatever time they served on the length of time of residence required to secure a patent to the land. Being in the naval reserve Is not counted, as you are not on actual duty.

Pacific Junction, Ta., Jan. 21. Tui the Editor of The Bee: Much has been said during the past six or fiftnt months about Article 10 of the l.P!i::ie of Nations covenant. 1'rpvi. (lent Wilson lias declared that il wan the "heart of the league," and. lie has in turn said that if we reject the. league covenant as he brought it back to ns from Paris it will "break the heart of the world." The dispute over Article 10 is not, primarily, a party dispute. It is. in fact, a straighlout fight between red blooded Americans and those who would give to an international coun cil in which America would hnv I one member.. the sole "moral" right io orner us into war so as to main tain intact the territorial Integrity of the various members of. the league. The seizure of Shantung bv Japan must be not onlv condoned but actually upheld by physical force in the event of China endeavoring to recover it, if the provisions set forth in Article 10 are to be scrupulously adhered to. President Wilson has said that congress would not be under any "legal" obligation to go to war In case the council voted in favor of our beginning hostilities, but that it would be under a "compelling moral obligation" to do so. Now, it Is perfcetly clear, or eretalnly should be, that we are, neither in thesight of man nor of God Himself, under the slightest moral obligation to go to war unless Is essentially a just war. . If we are ever to enter the league we should enter it as a great, pow erful and disinterested nation, abso lutely free from all entangling al liances and raising our voice always on the side of justice and of fair play. Article 10 is an infamous article. President Lowell of Harvard, Sen ator Lodge.

The clockwork is geared so that it records by turning, the hands on the dials. j "In reading the gas meter you will ! notice that there are five dials, 4marked as follows: Vi cubic foot, 2 cubic feet. 1 hundred, 1 thousand, and 10 thousand. The two top dials jre not read, for they are test dials. Kach dial has one hand, and you read it by taking the. number that the hand lias' just passed and placing the figures as 10 thousands, 1 thousands, and hundreds. In the hands shown in the illustration, for example, the 10 thousand dial is between 3 and 4 (has just passed 3); it therefore reads 30.000. The thousand hand reads 3,000, and the hundred reads 1 DO. The meter reading is therefore 33,100. The meter runs continuously and each month's consumption is fig ured by subtracting last month s reading from this month's. For in stance, if it now reads 33,100 and read 32,800 last month, we have used 300 cubic feet during the month.
