THE CHEER LEADER "Who," inquired General Robert Niville at an American foot ball game, "is the young man nith the white trousers?" He was told that it vas the cheer leader. Not at all remarkable that the antics of the youth out in front of the stand should attract ihe attention of so observant a man as the great French warrior. His further comment a!.,o bccins but a natural expression. It was superb, he said, and gave hint an under standing of the quality of dash and verve, the splendid morcle that animated the Amtrican forces in France and made them irresistible. , Kven so. End yet it did not express anything that is novel in human experience. Men have always needed the inspiration of a leader; with out it they become detached, depressed, sulleti. morose, or inclined to follow cn after their own .devices without rcgurd to the general welfare. Mass psychology is studied more closely now tha n ever, but the underlying principle has been fatniliarly touched upon in all ages. The first song ever raised was not otic of gratitude or thanksgiving, but of boasting; it was not in tended to exhibit the softer emotions of the man who sung it. hut p voice his bwiiestimation of his prowess, that he might awe his hearers and establish his prestige. Later this song was com bined with others embodying similar individual aspirations, and the tribe had a war song or a battle cry. This has conic down unimpaired and scarcely improved through the acs. Moses led the Chil dren of Israel on their journey to the promised land just by making them promises; Joshua and . the priests' conducted the march around Jericho through faith aroused , by eloquent appeals, Julius Cram worked his soldiers up to a pitch af frenzy before he stepped into the' shallow Rubicon and they followed him across to glory. Napoleon's "Beyond the Alps lies Italy," and ''Soldiers of France, forty centuries look down on. you 1" are familiar to all, just as are Nel son's "England expects every man to do his duty!" and , Patrick Henry's ','Give me(liberty or give me death." V 1 . ' " They were the cheer leaders, and so has been every statesman, general, r poet, orator, preacher or evangelist who has swayed the mul titude. One or more appear, on every page of recorded hutory, SocYatcsjj Cicero, Jan Hus, Savpnarol.-w Martin Luther, John Wesley, "Billy" Sunday, V. J. Bryan they are all cheer leaders. . Great historic movements have fol lowed on their efforts, because they could sway masses of men. 'Jj is a peculiar fact that such inspiration or artificial stimulation is required to gel anything done in this world. f " Tf General Niyillo- mflains with us long enough,-he will discover that Amercians have a great many of those of w.horn the "young man with the white trousers" is. a prototype. Their presence is a.bcnison, too,. for while they keep- ' the public in more or lessvf a turmoil during' times of peace, when a great crisis arise there, is sufficient harmony in' their seeming discord to bring the mass action that is needed to put over the big job. It is the basis of the morale. Philosophers . may experience amazement or even disappointment that this is so, but they agree thaj the cheer leader is a really important factor in our national life. ; Sauce for Goose, Sauce for Gander. Complaints made by the representative of the railroad brotherhoods 5 that operating 'of ficials are evading the law devised for settling wafje dis vdtvs deserve consideration. ' The government can not afford to let a new con troversy come up to seriously interfere with the restoration of normal conditions in transporta tion, now progressing so satisfactorily. For the matter of that, the, operating officials should be very careful to avoid any such responsibility. .Observance of the law in all its requirements should be their first care. The public has not forgotten that qne of the grievances prior to 1916 was that no way existed to enforce an arbitration award once made, and the passage of the Adamson law was facilitated by the fact that the brotherhoods were able to show that in certain notable instances the officials had de clined to abfde by decisions of arbitration boards. The Esch-Cummins law is supposed to be binding on both parties, and the magnates ought to proceed so ' to keep their records clear, in order that the public will be able to know whore' to put the blame in event of any further serious disturbance in the transportation service of' the country.. Evasion by either side will bring its rcwafd in the way of popular dis- ; approval. ' Finance In North Dakota. interest in the banking situation in North , as:ota, brought about by the manipulation of the Non-Partisan league, extends. far beyond the confines of the state. It Involves the underlying principles of banking in general, and as it de velopes so will the business not only of the state, but of its citizens as well prosper. Re fusal to sell crops at market prices is responsible for the acute situation. Farmers arc unable to meet their obligations; the Bank of Nortfi Da kota, which has been the designated depository of all public funds, ijs unable to assist the small banks by reason of recently adopted law which removes control of the. lands of communities ani school districts' from : tm;,, state ' officials and places in the hands of local authorities. This interferes with the Townky plan for carrying on private business with money derived from taxation. Outside capital has withdrawn from the state because of the Townfey regime, and the entire financial system appears to be falling into chaos. If the initiated iaws, adopted at the recent election, are allowed to operate, money from outside may be had to relieve the condi tio, but finally 'some measure will have to be devised to meet private Indebtedness or the farm ers will be compelled to put their produce on the market. What the end will be is not yet to be stated, but one thing is clear, and that is that any experiment at carrying on private business with public capital is precarious at best. The Lesson of Other Cities. Facta arc essential, to the winning of any campaign, ut they must be accompanied by a certainytrmount of public interest and enthusiasm. The harnessing of facts and zeal for the im provement of Omaha inevitably must bring about the establishment of the commission manager form of government here. Those were interesting facts concerning the success of the manager plan in Muskogee, Okla., given in the Sunday Bee. From all quarters of the United States authoritative reports of how efficiency has been brought into municipal government are being collected. Week by week these will be presented t the people of Omaha. It will be seen that, though differing in details, all of them are alike in having a single executive whose duties are to provide co-operation, en force discipline and direct municipal activitcs. It will be generally conceded that the com mission form of government itself is superior to the councilmanic or federal form of city rule. The same beneficial effects are intensified by the city manager plan. Certain faults of commission rule are eliminated by the appoint ment of a manager to act as executive, with the commissioners sitting only as a legislative'body. "Under commission rule, co-operation is not as sured, every member is a law to himself, each eager to show efficiency and economy, some times at the expense of the best interests of the city. The chief weakness of the system now pre vailing in Omaha is that the heads of the various departments find it impossible to work in har mony. Qualified men are not assured for ad ministrative positions, and technical tfainingjis not given the proper consideration. With no reflection on any member of the commission, the necessary and proper distinction between legislative and executive functions is wiped out. with resultant confusion. . Since the city of Dayton, Ohio, adopted the city manager plan in 1913, its lead has been fol lowed by many progressive communities, large and small. If there has been one failure, if one city has gone back to the old federal ' or the straight commission form, it has not been re corded. People prefer expert management of the public business and are more and more put ting the affairs of the cities outside the realm of political conflict, Omaha's Sergeant Yorke. The exploit of Sergeant Yorke, who, single handed, brought in a drove of German prisoners, is now rivaled by Anton P. Paulson, the Omaha policeman who captured, unaided, twenty-three card players. Where squads of raiders had failed, this lone officer In the zero hour before sunrise, broke his way into the card room and caught the blackjack players blackhanded. as it 'were. This is indeed magnificent,, but it is not war. Such is fhe verdict of the police magistrate who turned (he accused prisoners free on the ruling that evidence was lacking. Such things as cards and dice, padded tables and piles of coin cannot be considered as indicative of disorderly conduct or gambling. Those twenty-three men hidden away in a dim cellar amid these surround ings perhaps were telling fortunes or operating ouija boards. Surely it is nothing unusual for honest citizens to sit in a cellar at 6:30 o'clock in the morning discussing the latest work of H. Q. Wells or the relative merits of the poetry of Amy, Lowell and Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Into' some such studious and respectable scene, broken only by occasional murmurs of "Ten, eighteen, twenty-one" came Officer Paul son. He did not wait until the services had broken up to obtain a warrant, or delay to call a squad of , reserves, but walked right into the shrine of shrines'. The attorney for the pro prietor of this sanctuary accuses the arm of the law with breaking down a door. Ifthis is true, perhaps evidence may yet be found to insure the proper punishment for such a thoroughly un warranted action. A Line 0' Type or Two Hew te the Liar, let the Quia fat! where they may.

BROWN ot Carleton College com plains that faculties are concerned with the mental slacker! and the laggard, that they have geared their machinery to the sluggard's pace. True enough, but not only true of educational institutions. In a democracy-' everything is geared to the pace of the weak. , "AS for authors," sighs Shan Bullock, "their case is fairly hopeless. But I recognize that in the new democracy even average intellect has no place at present. The new democracy is on trial. Until it has proven definite whether it sides with cinemas or ideals, there is not even a living for men who once held an honored place in the scheme of things. That is a dark saying, but 1 think it is true." BRIGHT SAYINGS OF DOIUS BLAKE. (From her eolyuro.) Dear Miss Blake: Please aend me horo scope for September 21. MARY.

As a rule pains around the heart are ot no great importance. Soma people escape them by keeping their feet warm and others succeed just ns well by applying porous plasters. However, there are certain pains and uncomfortable feelings in the heurt which are very "significant.

In a popular song of other days that might well be sung by politicians in any age, the plaint was made, "When I get hitched for life 1 want an or -r r phan." True or false, the accusations of graft against R. W. Boiling in connection with the. shipping board investigation, must be embarrassing to his brother-in-law,' President Wilson. It is quite possible that this very relationship encouraged the rumors reflecting on Mr. BflHng. Such is the penalty of nepotism. Doubtless there were pther men as well fitted as Mr. Boiling for this government posiion, and doubt less also his relationship to the president singled him out for appointment. It is related of an ancient king that he was safe from nepotism because he was without relatives. This condition, though adding nothing to his credit, undoubtedly saved him consider able grief.''

This old pipe line had been abandoned and its openings Into the well sealed off. But one pipe and tho galleries had been left in, and that's where the trouble came from. When the river rose so high, pol luted river water filled the old aban doned pipes and water gallery- The gallery had bricked concreted top and side wall?, but the floor was Boil and gravel. The suction in Well No. 1 had drawn water through the soil about 10 feet to the well. It had tot Into the well either through the side walls or through the gravel bot tom or both.

Near the well end he found several holes one to two feet deep and six to 10 inches across, through which streams of river wa ter ha.1 evidently ponced into the soil in a regular flow to the well. When all these observations were put together the story was as plain as the nose on your face. The peo ple noticed that the water was tur bid, but they kept on drinking It.
