Almost Billion Over. Subscription.

subscription to the fourth Liberty loan
is reported as reaching $S6600OOO0 in round
numbers. This is certainly gratifying show
ing, for it proves Americans still have capacity
for rising to great emergencies and meeting
them with success The upset amount of the
loan, six billions of dollars was the greatest
amount ever asked from people by its govern
ment for any purpose. Conditions under which
it was raised were discouraging, too,- for the
land was in the clutch Of a most malignant cpl
demic, and most people were affected directly or
indirectly by the disease that wrought such
havoc, Disturbance of the war spirit, incident
to the persistent peace drive, had some effect
on the spontanefy of the response to- the re-
quest and was cited at one time as having a
retarding influence on the sale of bonds When
all these things are considered, the achievement
looks good, even for so great and wealthy a
people as the Americans.

An Amazing Admission.

The message of the president to the social
ist candidate for United States senator in New
Mexico, expressing hope that he will be
elected over Senator Albert w. Fall, who is a
candidate for reelection, is a most amazing
admission.
1t amounts to statement that the president
prefers socialist, whose party is and has been
opposed to the war at all times, whose leaders
have been indicted in many federal districts and
whose followers have been sent to prison in
many states because of open defiance to the
government rather than have a republican
whose loyalty and devotion to the war is un-
questioned and whose offense is that he has not
been subservient to the White House!
Nothing could more clearly indicate the
length to which the president is willing to go
in his effort to secure rubber stamp" con-

Far-Fetched Alarms

II 1t is not clear whether Mr.. William Gibbs
McAdoo, secretary of the treasury, is trying to
befog the issue or drag herring across the
trail when he seeks to inject into the political
situation created by Mr. Wilson the question
of responsibility for bringing about unified COM
mand on the western front. That question has
no more to do with the case than have the flow
ers of yesteryear or the fruits of a dead sea.
Nobody has sought to take from the president
his full share of credit for unified command, or
any other credit which belongs to him. Does
Mr.. McAdoo imagine that republican con-
gress, which cannot by any possibility come into
being until after March 4, 1910 would adjourn
Marshal Foch and all of the victories brought
about by his mastery command
1t is to laugh! As, also, at Mr.. Joseph
Patrick Tumulty's remarkable discovery that
Colonel Roosevelt and other republican leaders

Colonel Roosevelt was not president in 1898
During the early part of that year he and other
brave Americans were too busy in Cuba to
think Of politics, or if they thought of it, they
were too busy to talk of it. On August IL OF
that year the peace protocol with Spain was
signed. After that, upon his return to this
country, Colonel Roosevelt did talk politics.
good deal of it.
There is however, no possible parallel be-
tween the episode referred to by Mr.. Tumulty
and that with which this country has beer
treated. and by which it has been startled from
! its dream Of unity.

You Can't Down a Good Man,

when dealing with the present administration.

man went on the pay roll of the Treasury de-

tiers in Omaha. China for James Charles? Not

What the Omaha Public Library
Owes to the Late Lewis S. Reed

For nearly dozen years / was closely as
ISOLATED with the late Lewis S. Reed on the
Omaha Public Library board, and ! can say
without qualification that the people Of this city
will never realize what they owe him for the
upbuilding of that most useful institution. The
library was Mr.. Reeds hobby. He had been
one OF its directors from the FIRST and most OF
the Is years that he served as its president No
draft on his time and no requirement OF his care
was too much for him to respond with. The
library in those days had to be run within a
very limited appropriation, and it was always a
serious question to make the money 60 as far
as it could. Though for the most part self
educated man, he had come to Omaha from
Wisconsin in 1868 to work for his uncle Byron
Reed, with only his district schooling, because
without the means needed to put him through
college, he was remarkably we'll versed in the
essentials of an education, to say nothing of his
business experience. True, Mr.. Reed was some
times called land crazy" in reference to his un-
shakabe belief that land investments promised
sure profits, and his almost mania to buy lots
and lands, and more lots and land, but this had
no bearing on his supervision of the library and
its work In Strengthening out the difficulties
over the site of the present library and in ex-
ecuting the contracts and pushing the construc-
ton of the beautiful library building his service
was invaluable.

Building Liberty Motors.

All available parts of the Detroit plant
of the Ford Motor Company not now en-
gagged in government war work soon will
be devoted to high speed production of
Liberty motors for Americas airplane
fleets. The Detroit factory has been
turning out cylinders and other engine
parts for several months, but the new
program provides for wholesale produc-
ton of the completed engines. Recent
tests of the Liberty motor indicate that
minimum of 400 horsepower can be ex-
pected from the new engines.
Facilities for giving American aviators
advanced training abroad have been
overtaxed to such an extent that it has
been found advisable to fit the men for
actual battle conditions at flying fields
in America. Although theoretically the
American aviators will be ready for work
at the front Immediately after their ar
rival in France, it is planned to continue
the present system of sending them
across the lines in company with squad
rons of experienced pilots, in order to
add the final touches to their training.

Secretary Wilson Says
People Ought to Provide
Full Man Power for War

Is this a capitalists war? Do you
believe the pacifists and proc Germans?
Read this extract from speech by
Secretary Of Labor Wilson at st.
Paul:
: IF this is a capitalists war, then it
follows that congress and the presi-
dent have been dominated by capital
ism in declaring war, and it would fol-
low also that they would be dominated
by capitalism in>pursuing the war. And
vet, instead of permitting capital to
secure profits at will, one of the first
powers granted the war administration
was to fix prices at which capitalists
should sell their products of labor !;
the selling price Of coal at the mines
was fixed, the price of wheat, the price
of certain metal products and the price
Of copper fixed.
'But in no instance has there been
any attempt on the part of the admin
istration to fix the maximum price that
should be paid for labor.
"This is a war of the people of the
United States for their liberty. If our
boys are willing to sacrifice their lives,
if need be, surely we who remain at
home ought to sacrifice our pride, our
preiudices and our suspicious and pro-
vide our full man power in preparing
the material by which these boys will
defend our country"
