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.

True enough, but not only true of educational

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

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.''

is an expression player. Even the lowest priced Apollo will
give expression automatically, and the higher grades offer an
actual reproduction .of the artist's performance.
With an Apollo you can transpose the music to any desired
key and when you are through playing, the roll rewinds
without using the pedals.
Thera are several types of Apollos to meet varying require

There are so many points of superiority in the Apollo that you
must play it to appreciate it. We will be glad to demonstrate
at any time.
