WHAT DID WILSON MEAN?
Out of the controversy over the exact language
uied by Tre!dent Wilson at the eighth plenary
session of the Paris Peace Conference grows a mighty
interesting question. Mr. Wilson has on a number
of occasions used language which has mystified his
countrymen, familiar as they are with English
words. Therefore it is not to be altogether marveled
at that some of his" utterances at-Paris misled, to
put it mildly, those less accustomed to tip finer
shades of meaning' as expressed in the president's
native tongue. 'So, when the French took down
the words he uttered in English and did them over
into French, they took on a form that conveyed to
France, to Siberia and to Roumania a meaning that '
now denied them. Is it possible that the American
representative and spokesman at that important
time, and on such a vital point, employed words
that would give his fellow citizens one nation of
his meaning and the representatives pf the nations
most deeply interested in getting something tangible
to build on quite another? ,
I Yet a mind that is not altogether suspicious might
easily reach that conclusion.1 At any rate, it will
have some trouble in deciding just what the president
did mean; here is the official version of his language,
; as published in the New York Times:
And yet there underlies all of thes transac
v tions the expectation on the part, for example,
!of Roumania, and of Czecho-Slovakia, and of
Siberia, that jf any covenants of this settlement .
re not observed, the United States will send
her armies and her navies to see that they ar
( observed.
f It'8 plain that the speaker desired to create an
impression' of his sincerity, and leaves a lingering
thought that he was actually giving a promise, which
be did not make. The topic under debate was
certain boundary lines and other adjustments that
were being set up for the Balkan nations. Ameri
cans easily may believe that Mr. Wilson did not
deliberately seek to involve the United States as
spoasor for the map he drew with such sweeping
' strokes. He was, and is, content to let the peoples
of that vexed region settle their own dute'rences in
their own way, without regard especially as to the
; vwcuinc, oui iney reit me conierence cnamoer tnat
day in the belief that the United States would
guarantee them against Austria, Russia, Bulgaria or
Turkey. The witches who befooled M:beth were
hardly more successful in platering with him in a
double sense than was the president. - '
The version quoted by Senator Spencer was made
public in the United States in December last, but
the White Hou.se did not deny it until the oppor
tunity for probably confusing a political opponent
was presented. It stands unchallenged in- the Con
gressional Record, and might have so gone, had not
Private Secretary Tumulty, astute and adroit, seen
what looked like an opening, but which has proved
a deeper hole into which to thrust his chieftain and
his party. v .
Half a Million Lives. ' v
A concrete illustration of what Nebraskana have
helped to do was given a little group of people at
) the Chamber of Commerce on Friday, when Albert
""V. Vickery addressed them on conditions in the Near
East. Most impressive of all his statements is that
half a million of people are living today who would
- have died of starvation had not America, come to
the rescue in time. We may not be chargeable with .
the jives of these Wfto did die for want of food and
clothing; we certainly are credited at least by the
survivors with the fact that they are living.
No need to dwell on the horrors of the situation
over there; nor to agree with all of the conclusions
cached by Mr. Vickery as to what' is needed to re
store that region to a condition fit for humanity's
uses.- Itjs enough to know that there we can find
ample employment for ur generosity, and whether
our government accepts a mandate jor its future,
we can well afford to give from our plenty something
that will assist in the effort the people of the stricken
region are making to care for themselves. They are
doing thia in an intensely practical way. With
almost nothing in the way of equipment, lacking in
utensils, machinery, animals for power purposes,
almost totally devoid of the implements of agricul
ture, thev have tilled the crdnnrf this
effect that it has producedkenough to feed the in-
on charity for only one-third of the coming year, not
for the whole time, as it was twelve months ago.
This is our business, to see thatthey get enough to
eat. '
Later on we may take a more active interest in
.the; government of that region, where today the
French and British are more or less nonplussed as
to how to proceed. ' The immediate obligation is to
furnish a sufficient supply of food and clothing for
the people. Half a million souls were saved from
starvation last year, a noble result. ,Keep the record
r as good for the coming season. y
i 1 "Who Ci-ea the Party,"
. . In the pood old da vs. when the ladies held onto
theis privileges and. worried not about their rights,
things were pretty well established in some respects.
Then, when a young fellow took a girl out in the
evening, he expected to foot the bill. All expenses
were borne by him, and usually he recked not how
the money went, so long as his fair companion had
- of teemed to have a good time. Once in a'while it
. happened that a young woman would frown on too
lavish expenditure, and if really interested the youth
' would' check his extravagance. With the progress
that has come in other ways has also come a change
over the customs of swains and their lasses. Hew
.in Omaha we nave the' spectacle of young women
going into court to recovea money she loaned her
' escort to settle the bill after they had finished an
evening of pleasure quest. She mayValue both
her rights and her privileges, but she evidently does
not feel justified in spending her good monejf ;for
the entertainment of mere man. Somehbw it seems
she h right. Man's dearest prerogative, one' he
will never surrender, is to "give the party" when he
takes his girl out, whether it is to the movjes, the
soda water store, or to the more expensive things
like a dinner down town, and this young woman is
just helping impress on the world the fact that
woman appreciates this attitude on part of man.
She may share the ballot and other things with him,
but she will not seriously object if he insists on pay
ing the check! 1 . - ,

Schemes to Get Your Money.
The annual loss from investment in fraudulent
enterprises in the United States is said to be at least
$500,000 a year. This estimate recently given to a
senate investigating committee, has been reitierated
by the secretary of the national association of securi
ties commissioners testifying before the Massachu
setts "blue sky" commission. He declared that
about 10 per cent of the stock offered the public was
worthless. .
Oil stock is said to be the favorite wildcat scheme
of the present time. Although most of the oil com
panies 'are considered legitimate enterprises, last
J" June four oil companies, ten brokerage firms and
fifty salesmen were indicted, charged with defraud,
ing the public. The number of victims of such pro
jects as these runs into the millions, and they are
found in all parts of the United States. Last Sep
tember a woman and two men were indicted for their
activities in a company capitalized at $3,000,000.
In selling stock they represented their wells in West
Virginia produced 1,200 barrels of oil a day. The
federal attorney asserted the greatesjt output had
never exceeded 200 barrels a day.
Many of these deceptions are defected through
the postoffice inspectors who can bring prosecution
under the' laws forbidding the use of the mails to
defraud. Others are caught by the various blue sky
commissions. But there is a certain point beyond
which blue sky commissions cannot go. Some of
these investments are frankly speculative, with a
chance for large earnings or failure. Propositions
of. this kind cannot be forbidden. The, mistake
comes in the general public belief that because a
blue sky board allows a company to sell stock it
issues a sort of guarantee of profits. No one can
determine in advance whether all these concerns
will pay out or not. The wise investor will consult
a banker or investment house before parting with
his money, being content 'with smaller interests and
more certainty of returns.
Honeymoon Prices Again.
That this is leap year quite probably has nothing
to do with it, but statistics around the country
show that 1920 has been a great year for getting
married. In New York City, for instance, the total
number of wedding licenses issued promises to
exceed ip0,000, as compared with 72,'671 the pre
vious year.
Employers of woman labor are heard to complain
that their operating forces are being cut into at an un--precedented
rate by matrimony. . In some places
there is said to be an actual shortage of women.
Love may laugh at locksmiths, but is was unable
even to snicker at the high cost of living. Lower
prices may be expected to increase the number of
couples attempting to live as cheaply as one In
those cases where women stepped into men's place8
during the war and performed work that previously
had belonged to skilled labor, this abandonment of
the factory Tor the home will not have any bad
effect. Some of the anticipated slackness of em. -ployment
may be modified by the hegira of the
!-brides.. '
t . Winter Preparedness.
The warm weather which marked the first half
of October cannot disguise the fact that this is
thev proper time to prepare for winter. Now is
the last call for filling the coal bin, cleaning
out the furnace, settnig up stoves and trying to re
member where you put the snow shovel last spring.
Forehanded families are laying in a supply of
potatoes, putting them in a cool corner of the cellar.
Parsnips, onions, carrots and cabbage are other
vegetables that will keep in storage of this sort.
Some there are who have pulled up their tomato
vines with the green fruit and-hung them on the
rafters to ripen for later use.
The north wind will soon swoop down, and th
scent of the mothball will fill the air.
Register Before Friday
Registration is the first political duty, and
throughout the nation heavy enrollment of women
voters has been noted. In Nebraska also thewomen
have taken up their new duties with the greatest
seriousness, and are not behind the men in realizing
phe momentous issue that is to. be decided by the
ballot on November 2. .
However in order to vote, it is necessary to
register, and Friday, October 22nd, is the last day
on which any Omaha man or woman can get his

a good citizen to call at the election commissioner's
office in the Douglas county court house and qualify

ARNOLD BENNETT gives both sides of
the question, although you might think from
the appended that he was prejudiced:
WHAT EVERY MAN KNOWS.
-(Arnold Bennett, "Our Women.")
Every man knows in his heart, and every
woman knows in her heart, that the average
man has more intellectual power than the aver
age woman. It is a fact immanent in the house
holds of the world. It Is a fact as notorious as
the fact that a man has more physical strength
than a woman. Just as women admire physical
superiority, so they admire intellectual superor
ity, not as a rule in the slightest degree resent
ing it. . Superior intellectual power
means, and always did mean, domination.
Women in the main love to be dominated, at
any rate in appearance. I feel here that .1 am
writing like an old-fashioned man; I cannot
help that. Truth is truth. I am not an old
fashioned man. I am a feminist to the point of
passlonateness. But at the risk o being ostra
cised and anathematised by all the women
feminists' of my acquaintance, I shall continue
to assert not only that even In this advanced
year women as a sex love to be dominated, but
that for some thousands of years, if not for ever,
they always wljl love to be dominated. This de
sire to Denominated is in itself a proof of in
tellectual inferiority. It Is Instinctive! and it
survives, despite a general impression in cer
tain quarters that recent progressive events have
"m some mysterious way put an end to it.

Mr. Hughes git Covenant
To the Editor of the New York Times: I
am surprised to read, the following in your edi
torial this morning: "It bears the impress of
their minds; and-the covenant provisions that
have been so violently attacked are" now shown
to have been those proposed and approved by
Mr. Taft, Mr. Hughes and Mr. Root."
You are evidently under a serious misap
prehension, as this statement, so far as I am
concerned, is without foundation.
The crux of the controversy with respect
to the covenant is Article X. This article was
neither proposed nor approved 'by me. On the
contrary, I said at the outset that Article X
should be eliminated. For reasons which I stated
in my speech at the Union League club in
March, 1919, I have alwavs regarded Article X
as a vicious provision, having no place in a cov
enant designed to promote the peace of the
world. I proposed an amendment eliminating
Article X, and it was not accepted.
I may add with respect to certain amend
ments suggested by me which you state were
adopted and incorporated in the covenant, that
several of these were not adopted as I proposed
them and were not made in an adequate or sat
isfactory manner. But the more important point
is that the vital amendment relating to the
elimination of Article X was not adopted and
the covenant provision that is the main subject
of attack, and properly so in my judgment, was
not proposed Or approved by me.

Analysis of the League.
York, Net)., Oct. 7. -Tothe Editor
of .The Bee: As Governor Cox has
come and gone it is. not out of place
to take his measure especially if we
use his own tapellne, and measured
by that he is found wanting In the
very essentials that are vital factors
in the making of a statesman of
presidential else. He shows that in
several ways. One is the making
charges that he cannot prove and
when he is called on- to give his
proof to say he has not the time
let the others' disprove it. That Is
fine way for a man to act that is
aspiring to be president of the
United States, and then whine like a
babv becausA the other fellows don't
by the very methods he used to try
and show how strong it would be to
prevent wars because all the great
nations of the world would bs in the
league and pledged to carry out Its
provisions. Then, when soma of
America's ablest statesmen showed
the country that some of its articles
are In square conflict with our con
stitution and against our safety, Mr.
Wilson rushed out onto the stage to
prove how weak it is by saying it
doeS not mean what it says or that
we will not be under any obligations
to obey the league's orders, unless
we want; it will be Just left' to us to
choose our course. Then what has
he got as a league to enforce peaoe
any more than we have now, for can
we not now choose whether we will
take part or not?
- If there is nothing m the league
covenant to have us do anything only
Just as we wish to decide It when
the time comes, why all his fuss snd
ory against us deciding it now or be
fore we sign it and place our de
cision in the other fellow's hands?
All Mr. Wilson or Mr. Cox or any
other of the league's dreamers may
say to the contrary notwithstanding,
Mr. Wilson says we will be under no
legal obligation to obey, but we will
be under a moral one whlch is much
stronger fhan a legal one. Then that
that the papers are not
giving mm space ana ooosrenougn
or as much as he thinks he should
have, but that is due to the differ
ence of opinion between he and them
as to his worth.
Then ho is olayinsr two losing
game, one is his charge
of that big sluBh fund with which
hn Is to be burled In defeat by the
corrupt use of it in buying up the
electorate for his opponent. In the
first place, tire charge is an insult to
every decent democrat in the coun
try. Because it iseither a charge
or an admission that his party is a
set of corrupt sell-outs and that they
will sell their votes to the republic
an committee if they will offer them
the money. I just wonder how they
like that. 1 You can guess by this
time how I would like it ,
The second card is his stand on
the. league of nations. He says he
is in complete accord with Mr. Wil
son on that, yet he says he. is in
favor of Interpretative reservations
to safeguard, the United States.
Shades of Mr. Jiitraddlebug, come
over us. Yes, sure, that is all Mr.
Lodge and 25 of his democratic
senators wanted and the only differ
ence between them was what they
thought wassafe and what was risk
and what was doubt and uncertainty.
Mr. Wilson took a swing around
the circle to enlighten the people as
to what the league covenant con
tained and made a muss of It by giv
ing such divergent explanations of its
meanings and terms and powers that
he lost lots of friends of the league
anff mental poise. GuarA
lexcitement. Do not al
low him to play competitive games.
See that he gets his afternoon nap
and a long night's sleep. Never al
low him to speak explosively or rap
idly. Train him never to begin
speaking until he is physically and
mentally quiet, and then to speak
slowly and quietly. Get Blanton's
"Speech Training for Children," and
read it until you get it thoroughly.
Many Such Cases Cured.
Mrs. N. W. writes:. "Is tuberculo
sis of the lymphatic glands of the
abdomen curable? Can it be cured
by sun baths? If not, what is the
best to do for it?"
REPLY.
Many cases of this trouble are
cured.. Opening the abdomen cures
some cases. Exposure to sunlight is
an approved method of treating such
cases. Some are given tuberculin.
Knock on woodl You're feeling
fine, eh? That's great! Keep the en
tire family feeling that way always
with occasional Cascarets for the
is some binding, is It not? But the
British and the French statesmen do
not agree with Mr. Wilson. The
French say if that is the case let us
go back o The Hague treaties and
Mr. Lloyd-George says it means what
it says or it cannot mean anthlng.
Mr. Wilson says it only advises and
that advice only means advise, then
why does it say that "the council will
advise what steps shall be taken to
give effect to the advice," and in ar
ticle 1, it gives orders what they
shall do with a member of the league
that dares to refuse to obey the or
ders of the council. it says the
council wiU tell the members "what
effective military or naval forces the
members of the league shall sever
ally contribute to the armed forces
to be used to protect the covenants
of the league." Now, Mr. Leaguer,
read that again and see how you like
it Then read Mr. Wilson on the
league and see who Is doing the mis
representing. Njw let any of the
subject peoples of. England. France
or Japan cry out for freedom or self
determination liko we did in 1778.
