The 10th of the month never did have any terror for the honest man and all days look alike to the dead heat. Archduke Joseph is to be the new king of Hungary. He will do well to recall what hap pened to his predecessor. Mr. Wilson is nearly well enough to travel again. It must have been irksome to have been so long confined to the White House. Fase ball magnates keep crowding in v itli their reminders that spring is on the way. Wrestlers and candidates wilt take heed. Omaha teachers vtll get a flat raise of $100 per year, which will be of some assistance to them in their struggle with old Hi Cost. Many Germans are anxious to reach Amer ica, and we do not blame them, but they will find it a different land than in the prewar days. A muzzled navy is "Jimmy" Gerard's idea of running things. It was the same with the present secretary, but he could not make the muzzle stick. Two aliens who sought safety in America thiring the war have been denied citizenship by the local courts. This is a just penalty. The man who would not fight for America is unfit to be a citizen of the free republic. Midwinter commencement exercises tor the Omaha high schools serve to emphasize the importance as well as the activity of the city's educational system. Time was when a class of fifty-three would have been considered a pretty fair output for June. Accidents Equal War Last y?ar 80.000 were killed and 2S.0OOwere seriously injured by accidents in the United States. That is about equal to our casualties in two years of war. It seems incredible, yet there is no denying- the facts. The statistics are care fully compiled by the national safety council. If the victories of peace are no less renowned than those of war, we are learning that the casual ties of peace are no less numerous than those of war. It seems to be largely unnecessary. Where safety precautions have been adopted there has been a great falling off in accidents of all kinds. Carelessness lies at the basis of most accidents, not gross carelessness necessar ily, but often merely(jack of forethought, fail ure to take prudent precautions. The work of the national safety council is to instill into the workers of the country, for the overwhelming majority of accidents are in dustrial, the spirit of being cautious about every rning. aiso to see that approved safety ap pliances are installed wherever work is done. Nothing can take the place of the personal factor. If accidents are to be diminished it must be through individual men and women taking more pains to prevent them. To the use of liquor, even in moderate quantity, much has been charged in the causing of accidents. At the end of another year, assuming a reasonable suc cess in enforcing prohibition, we should be better able to judge how much of thi terrible toll of death and injury has been properly charged to iiijuor.

The natural rniipf of events will lead to substantial wage reductions in time. However, we cannot ex pect to see wages recede as rapidly or as far as prices, because the elimination of imniigia tiou in recent years h;:s left our labor sup ply relatively short. F.vrn without reduction in wages, labor costs per unit of output will be reduced with the restoration of shon dis cipline and the cessation of overtime v ork. Fair Chance for the Railroads. Elimination from the railroad bills of pro visions for the compulsory consolidation of the transportation lines is a sign of returning- san ity. The grouping idea, which seems to have been behind the scheme for government opera tion, was elaborated by former Director Mc Adoo, at the tinu he resigned from the cabinet. His recommendations were based on the ex perimental consolidation hastily effected as a war-time measure, and under which all the great railroads o' the country had been thrown together in a belter skelter fashion, with a re sultant jutnhle of rolling stock, train and engine crews, operating forces and whatnot. The only unity obtained was a patriotic desire to develop the greatest possible efficiency from systems that were overtaxed, in order that the war might be vigorously prosecuted. If the results did not justify the effort, the blame is not to be laid on the men who tried to make the plan work. Not for the sole purpose of maintaining healthy competition, but in the interest of economic and efficient management, the roads should be allowed to stand as units, permitted under proper regulations to make such natural combinations as will achieve the real purpose of transportation as an agency of public service. The great transcontinental system is an exam ple of how this can be worked out. Two great railroads connect Chicago and New York; six join Chicago and Omaha, and one carries the. business from Omaha to San Francisco. Each of these roads is an independent unit, competing with the others for bu:iness, catering to its patrons, but in the end achieving through rea sonable co-operation all that might come by reason of actual physical consolidation. Production and distribution alike depend on transportation. With not only the present but the future prosperity of the nation thus in volved, congress will exhibit wisdom only as it deals with the railroads in a broad and generous way. Experiments may bo postponed to n more opportune and less strenuous day. Treaty Settlement Coming Nearer. On the surface may be noted signs that the end of the treaty fight in the senate is not far away. The letter from Viscount Grey, recently made public, in which lie frankly admits that Europe will accept the proposed reservations, has greatly cleared the .situation. It fully con firms the statements made in December, when Lloyd George and Clemenceau held their con ference in London, and it was stated that the Lodge reservations would not be objected to. Developments since then have, been rapid. Administration supporters have seriously tried to secure concessions from the republican group, but without avail. While willing to ac cept changes in phraseology on minor points, Senator Lodge has declined to admit modifica tion of the language or principle of the reserva tions dealing with the voting power and Article X. At the moment a small group of irrecon cilable still stands opposed to acceptance of the covenant of the League of Nations in any form, while a similar group continues to de mand the president's extreme program. This latter is not so firm as it was a few weeks ago, and from it enough a-e expected to break away to give the nece-sary ote to secure ratification v. it'.i reasonable reservations. What trie president will do is uncertain. Nothing has been heard from him on the point since his letter in November, when he urged his followers to vote against ratification on any terms but his own. The general demand of the country for peace, tite. willingness of the European powers to accept thm reservations, and the certainty thai the treaty will cot be ratified without them, have i'ot been without effect on the preshleut's supporters. He may continue his attitude, but he will he forced to accept full responsibility for keeping the nation out of peace. The erown jewels of France are back in Paris again, so the war must be over. We would advise the French to be of "highjackers,'' however. ng of the il collapse cred:t be-s-g'.is that tiie reaction is impending. The steady decline in foreign exchange is premonitoiy of what is to follow. 1-ortunateiy for Americans, bioitiess in this country is in such condition that a nauie reed not he feared if wise judgment pre. nils. Dis cussing this phase of the problem, the National Bank of Commerce of New York ay: Despite speculation hi farm lands in many sections, speculation in the stock market, speculation in the oil fields, a considerable volume of very unintelligent speculation in foreign exchange, and not a little injudicious commodity speculation, our general domestic "credit situation is sound. Manufacturers mid merchants have generallv been more than cor servative in the book values they bar e placed upon their assets, and have accumulated large reserves in one form or another, which should enable them to meet readjustment with safety. If. when the tide turns, readjustment is not too long resisted and production is not too much shnved down, and if the situation is flexible and competitive, we may expect to meet the reaction without disaster. The coun try is not as well braced now for reaction as it was at the time of the armistice, but so nianv of our major industries are in an ex ceedingly strong position, and our banks ate j as a whole in such excellent condition thai j we should view the prospect without undue ! apprehension, !

The railroad companies, for rea sons they have not bad it in their power en tirely to control, are inadequate to the demands i made upon them by the commerce of the laud, i The waterways, and particularly the Mississippi river, should be made supplements of the rail roads in the carrying business. Economy dic tates that this should be done. Transportation requirmcnts call for it. the recent effort of rival commercial cen ters to deprive Minneapolis and the northwest of the long established right of milling-m-transit cmpha.-i.:es the importance of realizing as soon as possible all the possibilities of rivet navigation from the Falls of St. Anthony to the gulf. It is perhaps not too much to sav that if the river were prepared now to do all that it is capable of doing as a freight carrier, our rivals would not have been quite so ready lo trv to deprive us of the milliiig-in transit privi lege. Rut whether there he as close a connection ; as that between a rial. independent transpor tation system and railroad discrimination against the city in tins .inn, the general proposition is true that tin preparation of this grcul water- i way for audi rrviee as it is capable of is lor,' important, mil only to Minneapolis, but to thei '. h' .e nortiiw.'-t. to permit unnecessary deiay in waterway improvements without a vigorous and immediate protect from the northwest. This region, properly organized, is in a position to insist that the irovemert for economy shall not be false cconotnv. depriving the public of ad vantages outweighing incalculably the expense that may be necessary to secure them. Possibly the senate will take a broader and better view ot the upper Mississippi improve ment project than the house has done; or it may be that both houses will acquit themselves well on the subject in the final decision on general railroad legi -latum, bringing about a larger and more fruitful correlation of rail and water transportation.

As an aviator in the yvar, although a man of middle age. he won new laurels. What a war record the poet had until the Fiutne frenzy seized him! That his fame was tarnished by his antics in Finnic he must realize himself. To the picturesqueness of his character the episode has added, no doubt, but comparatively few of his countrymen ap plaud him today; some think he is mad, others regard him as a demagogue. The time had come for him to throw away ambition, purify In5 patriotism, and embark in a new adventure with a thrill in it and the chance of distinction, conditions be never overlooks. There would be halm for his soul in an airplane speeding to the mystic cast. His distempered brain would clar ify. The steady movement through the upper spaces would have the effect of a sedative upon his nerves. He would recover his spirits. His. eye would clear, his appetite return. He would begin to think noble thoughts again, and. look ing back, he would see that the Finme passion was not really patriotism, but a sickness of the brain. A great poem would occur to him on ihc flight nearer Heaven to far-off, immemorial Japan, and he would compose immortal lines as the clean winds rushed in bis face.
