Another Stage in Restoration. The world it moving tack to liable conditions by stages, rather than at a iingle bound. Only a little vhile was needed to disturb the relationi of peace and plunge all into the confusion of war, but much time it required to bring back order and harmonious communication. The economic conference, which opened at Genoa yes terday, is one more of the stages that mark the way from chaos to order. Paris was the first, the result attained there being the laying of a substantial foundation for the end of the war nd the establishment of peace. Washington was the next great step, where further progress was made, and now comes the meeting at Cenoa. At Taris the belligerents consulted, and the victors gave, terms to the vanquished; at Wash ington nation! particularly concerned in the ques tions pertaining to the Pacific conferred with ence to methods to be adopted in settlement of pos nble future disputes and to thus secure the avoid ance of war. Out of this grew the four-power treaty and the agreement to limit naval arma ment. All the world is interested in and will be benefited by these steps, although only the na tions immediately concerned In the Pacific were present Questions to be considered at Genoa have a world-wide aspect, but they are peculiar to Europe and therefore the United States has refrained from active participation, thereby jus tifying the exclusive nature of the Washington conference. Addresses made at the opening session war rant the supposition that the debate will com pletely cover the situation in Europe. Lloyd George expresses the thought that the conference is to move to the end that war will be eliminated. That, of course, is the ultimate goal; just now the more immediate quest is a basis on which the internal differences of a sadly-perplexed continent may be harmonized, some means for ironing out the bumps in the path to industrial and politicat tranquility and prosperity. If the delegations will be actuated by the spirit that prevailed at Washington, and approach all their tasks with the same spirit of confident co-operation that brought such splendid results at the arms conference, Genoa will set the world a long way ahead of where it is today. Consid able underbrush in the form of national jealous ies, ambitions and grievances, will have to be cleared away, but this can be done if the good old rule of give and take be applied. The world will watch Genoa as closely during the next few weeks as it watched Washington last winter. Going Back to the People. A great deal of confusion in congress is un doubtedly due to the fact that an election will be held next fall. Every member of the lower house :md one-third of the senators must face the vot ers, asking for a new commission. Party control is also at stake, the democrats hoping they will be able tb secure enough seats to dominate con gress and so to direct legislation in anticipation of the presidential election in 1924. Animated by such thoughts, the members are more anxious .to keep in line with the fluctuations of public thought than to do what might lose them votes, no matter whether the act be right or not. Sometimes it seems they mistake the omen, for getting that "the shallows murmur, while the deeps are' dumb," and mistaking the clamor of the few for the thought of the many. No one ' - can always accurately forecast the sentiment of 1 - the American people, unless some great national , , crisis or calamity impends. What is good, how ever, is that periodically the lawmakers must come to the people, make an accounting of their acts, and stand or fall as their work is found good or wanting. If a course is proper, the people v will continue it; if a change be needed, the same will be ordered. Even whims may have a hear ing, but generally speaking the safety of the country and its institutions lies in the fact that elections do come around frequently enough to prevent office holders fr.om forgetting where the power lies in the United States. Ik , Tammany Moves West. - Western newspapers aVe prone to moralize on the sad state of municipal government in New Yory City. Tammany Hall dominates affairs in the metropolis, a democratic machine run for revenue only. .The immense scale on which it operates has blinded the self-righteous western critics to the fact that on a lesser scale the same boss control exists in their own part of the coun try as well as in New York. Right away one thinks of Chicago that being another large city in which the critics do not re side. But the evil condition can be found much nearer home. The recent mayoralty election in Kansas City gave a victory to the local Tam many hall. The reformers there used 'to blame ihe saloon vote for such a result, and more lately heaped obloquy on the floating population of the river wards, charging ballot steals and repeating. In this last campaign, however, strict police supervision prevented anything of this kind. The votes that elected the Tammany mayor and coun cil came from the residence wards, even the silk stocking district giving good majorities. What are reformers to learn from this? Omaha did not particularly distinguish itself in the last municipal campaign; the same trend is noted in many other cities, in all parts of the country, Therg teems to fci a let-down of civic morality, Certain interest, cvtti buinrt inter, i tint might be thought l lavor hone.t and ulicWnt gov. trnu ent ' frequently found lined up with big in 4 little Tammany bells, tit wen hoe personal character is beyond reproach cither di not vote cr sote in favor of loose administration.

"Behold," wrote St. Paul to the Corinthians, "I show o a mytery. Wc shall not alt sleep." And now roiurt Arthur Coin Doyle to make dear the way that M. Paul referred to at bring mysterious. Not, however, as a dogmatic de bater, but as sympathetic pleader does the lata materialist approach America, lie says: Spiritualist teaches a definite knowledge of life alter so-called death. It teaches us nut to Ur death, and that lite pacing of heart-beats is merely a promotion. lie will lay his mrsMge before the American public, lecturing where he can get a hearing, but will not inUt on cither his teachings or his proofs being unwillingly accepted. It is a new religion, he says, and as such is certain to take hold of the world, for fifty years from today this world is going to be a spiritual world, iu w hich leaders of thought are going to laugh at our puny attempts to fathom the future. One would scarcely feel like calling Sir Ar thur's efforts puny, as he has made the most stupendous endeavors, and, if his conclusions be correct, the most mavelous of all discoveries. lie believes, and believing, teaches lite after death and the immortality of the soul on a different plane, for the reason that: It is the one great, final antidote for ma terialism, which is the cause of most of our recent world troubles. If we can make this good, and the came has only to be clearly stated to be proved, then surely America has good cause to be proud that this great restate ment of the fundamentals of religion should have come upon her soil. It has been degraded by some who believe in it, and derided by all who do not, but the time has come to recog nize the vital good that is in it and to free it from sordid influence. High spirits do not re descend upon earth in order to tell fortunes, or to advise on business matters. The true aim of all communication with spirits is consolation, knowledge of spiritual matters, including the condition of life after death, and self-improvement. On this basis, the visitor will be welcomed, because Americans do want to have the truth, and that is the reason they have been so tolerant of all religions. Nebraska Communal Aspirations. A symposium gathered by The Bee from dif ferent newspaper editors shows such a variety of aspirations and ambitions among the several communities as indicates a healthy activity of the public mind. While it is true that all are con cerned in the great outstanding problems of pro duction and marketing, because they directly affect each community alike, the separate centers of social life are turning to a diversified program for local advancement. Each has taken up the problem that seems to its citizens paramount at this time, and each will work to the consumma tion of a definite program. That is the certain way of advancement. One things at a time is enough to occupy any community; when too much is undertaken, effort is likely to be scat tered and energy dissipated in pursuit of more than can be accomplished, leaving the disappoint ment due to a fragmentary achievement. Study of the answers indicates also an intelligent selec tion, of objects or designs for public occupation and civic betterment. Not all Nebraska com munities are on a parity, as some have gone ahead in one way, some in another, but there is no question that all, even the smallest, have han dled their home problems efficiently and success fully, and that day by day each: is becoming a still better place to live in. , HomeRule Now! After fourteen years perhaps more Omaha is in a fair way to gain home rule. Commis sioner Zimman has announced that he will father an ordinance in the city commission, submitting the question at the election July 18, and under the new law its adoption should be certain. This is an issue which every citizen, should support. Difficulties of the past which necessi tated substantial changes in the charter submitted with resultant opposition, have been wiped out. The issue this time will be clear: ' Shall Omaha accept its present charter, without change, as a home rule charter? If Omaha does, then the legislature will have no further control over Omaha's local problems; future changes in the charter will be by vote of the people of Omaha. That is what Omaha has wanted for many years and at last the way has been made so direct and easy that Omaha can blame only itself if it fails to take advantage of its opportunity. ' All technical and controversial questions aside, only one-third of the mine families are. entirely supported by the earnings of the husband alone, while the , other two-thirds . are dependent for subsistence on the supplementary income derived from the labor of the wife and children or by keeping boarders and lodgers. Of course, there are many others than miners in this fix,but that does not make it a desirable condition. Holdrege, scene of an automobile show style show and radio telephone demonstration, all in one week, is showing a spirit of confidence and determination that should be more widely imi tated. The eastern Nebraska towns need a good injection of this western spirit. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, in landing in New York, tells the world Americans are the only in telligent people.

He has brought the dirty linen out, and I am going to give it another dcuc or two of soap. That is all 1 ant 'r.rig to do, It seems to me humiliating that while the or der was made all right and the Civil Service ronnuiMon carried it out all right, in thee caet in the slate of Nebraska, at leant, the first a itant pontmaster general, in connection with my colleague and with the chairman of the com mittee on potollicfs and postroads of the senate, who was a democrat, prevented, whenever ihey did not like it, the carry ing out of l'ieideut WiUou'a order. Now, let us ore how my colleague, who is surh a great civil service reformer now, felt when he was not running for re-election and when his party was in power. At the time these litters, which I am about to read, were written there was a man here by the name of l'arl B. Gaddis, who was private secretary to my rnlleague. Gaddis was alo at that time Washington correspondent of the Omaha World-llerald, a great democratic news paper printed in Omaha, owned, edited and publiched by my colleague. Other news paper who had their representatives here mid them admitted to the senate press gallery, but the representative of the Omaha World Herald could not be admitted to the press gal lery because he was being paid by Lucie Sam and held a job at the pleasure and good will of inv colleague, and it was contrary to the rules to admit such men to the press gallery. So he could not he admitted there. Out he had an ad vantage which the men sitting in the press gal lery of the senate did not have. By virtue of the apitoiutmtnt given him by my colleague he was admitted right on the floor of the senate, so he had an opportunity to get the inside every time, and he c'id. But while acting in this capacity, as my col league's private secretary, Gaddis had some cor respondence in regard to this very po;ollire out in the state of Nebraska. There had been a civil service examination held out there, and the fa vored democrat did not get in. He was dctcatcd in the examination and lost the office. In one case it was a woman, so he had some correspon dence with this woman, and he wrote her as fol lows. The letter is dated. "United States Sen ate. Washington, D. C, May 31, 1919," and ad dressed: My Denr Mrs. Weeks: I have your letter and hasten to reply. Burleson nays: "Result of examination is only thins that will count no politics makes no dif ference if a republican is chosen." That is the kind of a postmaster general we have, and this is what makes the democrats bollliiK hot and has caused numbers of them to hand togther to insist upon Burleson's removal. Hitchcock was the only democrat in congress to voice a protest against Burleson's tyranny, and. of course, Burleson didn't like It. Think of it! There he sits, the only man in the senate who had the courage to attack the great Burleson and denounce him as a tyrant. Here are h's praises bein sung by another great man of his own choosing, his private secretary, his newspaper correspondent, his newspaper editor, dr.iwing a salary and getting his pay from Uncle Sam. I continue the reading: Hitchcock was the only democrat In congress to voice a protest against Burleson's tyranny, and. of course, Burleson didn't like it. We will likely Buffer distinct embarrassment one of these days of seeing a republican news paper man who writes bitterly partisan copy chosen to supplant a democrat in one of our good Nebraska towns. We held the appointment up for a long time I told you a while ago how by checkmating confirmation, but will be unable to do so with a republican majority. In other words, this faithful follower of the World-Herald and of the senior senator from Nebraska and financially of Uncle Sam, says, "We did the work all right by having Hitchcock prevent confirmation." He saved the country for civil service notwithstanding "Burleson, the tyrant," but now we are about to have a republi can majority, and he can not do it any lonecr. powerful though he may be. Again reading from the letter: All of this Is a burning shame, but Burleson. the tyrant, has the upper hand and proposes to keen it. I hope Burleson will take notice in his retire ment. There is one ray of light, however, and it may penetrate the dark recesses to democratic ad vantage before the Norfolk postmaster is chosen. Ihis letter is directed to Mrs. Wefekes. who lives in Norfolk, and was a candidate for post master there. Continuing: lr Burleson is removed before the aDDointment comes, it may be that his successor will see to it that justice is done He has disclosed the kind of justice he wants I will watch developments closely and will keep jou advised. Again I say Burleson should be "strafed," then democracy would stand at least an even chance of survival. Otherwise I fear the sins of this tyrant will be visited upon our party for years to come. Cordially and sincerely yours, EARL B. GADDIS, Secretary to Senator Hitchcock. Mr. President, I think 1 ought to continue the reading. There is some more along the same l.;ne. That letter was written Mav 31. 1919: ?nd on the 31st of July of the same year, Mr. uaaais wrote another letter, which I think I ought to read, because it throws some light upon my colleague's conversion to civil-service reform, under a republican administration, which he so much despised under a democratic admin istration. The letter starts out: United States Senate, Washington, D. C, July 31, 1919. My Dear Mr. Weekes This letter was apparently written to Mr. Weekes, although the previous letter was ad dressed to "Mrs. Weekes" Have your letter of the 19th, and hasten to reply to it Reference to the Alnsworth matter -That was another postmastership case where the sleight-of-hand performance took place by which a republican was put out and a democratic put in the Alnsworth matter, which you mention as having been cited to you in the senator's letter cf May 31 the senator could not obtain the ap pointment of a man there friendly to the demo cratic cause. Now the senator is trying to get postmasters appointed according to the civil service, but it seems then that he was trying to get postmasters who were "friendly to the democratic cause." Now listen to this: .When a republican was named he managed to hold up the appointment Consider that in connection with the Sena tor's denunciation today of republicans trying to prevent the operation of the civil-service rule. The republicans learned their lessons from the senator from Nebraska (Mr. Hitchcock); that is the reason they do it so well. He is condemn ing them now because they will not let the civil service rule be put in force, and yet his secre tary says that he was then trying his best to prevent its enforcement, but did not always succeed, as is shown here, but held up the ap pointment for a- long time. The senator could not obtain the appointment of a man friendly to the democratic cause. When a republican was named he managed to hold up the appointment. That was all he could do. That, in other words, was interfering with the rule, but the senator now condemns others for interfering with the rule. But now, under a republican senate, he will be forced to give up that and must see a shame, less republican named for the place.

(Continued From Preceding Column.) the senator have the remotest chance of naming a democratic friend. Too bad, was it not? Also with reference to the Scotts bluff matter Seottsbluff is another postofilce in Nebraska mentioned In Arthur Mullen's office Arthur Mullen is the democratic national committeeman from the state of Nebraska, and is a very fine man-- mentioned in Arthur Mullen's of fice in Mrs. W.'s presence we did not wire for the name of a man to name there. We merely suggested to Arthur that he get some demo crats in the examination there who might stand strong chances of pass ing the examination. It seems that my colleague was in doubt whether or not democrats could pass the examination. We made it perfectly plainv to Arthur that our only hope lay in getting some democrat in the race there who could stand the examina tion. - I might add that the outlook now is that a republican topped the list and must be named for the place. Hitchcock has no more chance of getting a democrat in there than a snowball has in August weather in Nebraska. That is too bad, especially in the case of a man who is now such a great and ardent admirer of the civil service! So you see with these facts in your possession, there is anything but politics being indulged in by the administration in naming of post masters. Senator Hitchcock has agreed with few things which this man Burleson has done since taking of fice, particularly since the war came on. And he has voiced that dis agreement, as many other demo crats have done. But not a demo crat here in Washington has the least thing to do with the naming of postmasters. All they can do is get their friends to take examina tions and pray that civil service marks will lead later to their eleva tion to the places. That is all the good Lord could do if He were a democrat now and here trying to get justice for His party in the nam ing of His postmasters. If Gentle, at Norfolk, is not a loyal American Now. here is a hint; here is a way to hold up a nomination. Gentle was a republican; he was a candidate for postmaster, and Senator Hitch cock's private secretary says this is the way to hold up the nomination. He says. If Gentle, at Norfolk, if not a loyal American or is an immoral citizen, his appointment can be held up. But these are the only grounds upon which there is the slightest show of keeping him out of the place. I agree with what you say about the damned inconsistencies in run ning the Postoffice department that way. It is a shame that we must endure it, the Lord knows; -but the game cannot be beaten the way it is played Just now. Thank heaven, there may be a way opened up later whereby it can be beaten; but when that time comes It may be too close to the time the republicans will take the administration away from us simply because they play politics up to the limit all the time. Arthur Mullen understands the difficulties precisely. Talk the mat ter over with him some time, or If you are in Omaha on July 24, when the national chairman and his party are there, join them and hear what they ve got to say on the subjeet. With kind regards and best wishes. EARL B. GADDIS, Secretary to Senator Hitchcock Mr. President, it v.SU be noted that a suggestion is there made as to how appointments can be pre vented. Ihe civil-service rule is in force and there is no way to pre vent the appointment, but the senior senator from Nebraska (Mr. Hitch cock), the great civil-service states man, is here ready and willing and able, it the evidence is furnished him, to prevent confirmation. A charge must be made that the suc cessful republican aspirant is not a true American or that his character is immoral, and the senior senator from Nebraska will hold the nomina tion up and prevent confirmation. As I said awhile ago, he succeeded over two sessions of congress in holding them up, without any charges being filed, simply by put ting the papers in his pocket and carrying them away. Mr. President, I have some more letters of a similar import, but I am not going to take the time of the senate to read them at this moment. ADVERTISEMENT.
