DRAFT RECORDS BURN,
 STATE OFFICERS PUZZLED

CLANTON, Ala. Sept. 16.-State draft officials are facing a pecliar prop osition following the recent burning of the Chiffon County Courthouse, in which all official draft records were destroyed. The origin of the fire is a mystery, but as the entire building was in flames simultaneously there is much speculation. State officials. while making an investigation recall that Chiffon County officials were recently implicated in a huge draft plot and that even the county sheriff was accused of harboring and pro- tecting draft evaders

 We reached vitry. Here the misery seemed to he still greater than ever before. for in the entire town there was not a single house that was not Overcrowded with wounded. Tn the midst of all this misery robbery four fshed. All residences had been emp tied of their furnishings and every thing was thrown into the streets to make room for the wounded.
 The sanitary squads went over the town and took everything of any value. The intuition and railroad columns followed the same practice. They had plenty of room for plunder. This was amply proven by numerous seizures afterward of parcels put in the mall.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: The
return Of Alsace-Lorraine will help
Germans always to remember that
war does not pay.
Kansas City Star: A last chance
for one more of those memorable
messages from Berlin: After a
brave dash the family has arrived
safe in Holland. God is with us"
Baltimore American: The throne
of Finland is still to let, but to date
there have been no applicants since
the kaiser's brother-in-law decided
he didn't like the premises.
Minneapolis Tribune: With Ger
many's unavoidable consent the
allies are winding up THE Watch
on the Rhine" whereby a faithful
old joke may now become obsolete
for paragraph purposes.
Brooklyn Eagle: The s500,000,-
600 stolen from Belgium in forced
contributions should make her a
preferred creditor in the great Ber-
lin bankruptcy c;,se. Modern money
can be paid back, though medieval
cathedrals cannot be reconstructed.
Philadelphia Ledger: Doctor
Soils fear that the allies will let the
German people starve is so I'M
grounded that it is difficult to be-
lieve in its sincerity. He is a good
deal more concerned lest Germany
shall have to suffer the just penal
ties of failure.
New York World: In no place
short Of Berlin would the American
troops rather have ended the war
than in Sedan. Nowhere short of
Berlin could the British arms have

What's the Trouble With the Police Force

If Police Superintendent Ringer is quoted
correctly, that he cannot Sire" bad policeman,
then he indicts not the police, but himself and
requiring a hearing for policemen by the COM
mission before dismissal was wisely made to
protect the men from possible oppression by an
arbitrary superior, but not to weaken the eff
cheney OF the organization.
AT present Mr.. Ringer has a chief of police
selected by himself 1t would be unfair to say
Chief Eberstein was "hand-picked' when he was
given the job because Superintendent Ringer
wanted him. The chief of detectives is also a
personal selection of the superintendent, and
every captain and sergeant has been named by
his direction or consent All this being true, it
sounds childish to assert that dad" men on the
force defeat enforcement of the law and cannot
be gotten rid Of
If Mr.. Ringer will give more attention to
speeding up his department and less to invent
ing alibis to shift responsibility, he will proba-
bly, make greater Roadway 1t is not expected
that he accomplish impossibilites.
Is Omaha in the clutches of band Of GRIM
inals because bootleggers ply their trade and
vice in many forms persists despite the efforts
of the police? We do not believe the head of
the police department should make such admis-
sion unless ready to throw up the job AT any
rate, charges against individual members of the
force should come in the proper FORUM where
judgment can be rendered, rather than in sweep
ing allegations rejecting upon the integrity of
the whole organization

ALsQce-Lorruine

France will not receive back the
same Alsace-Lorraine which it was
forced to give up, and the changes
of half century are mostly for the
better. The patriotism of the citi-
zenry of the provinces, which has
endured into the second generation,
has been tried in the fire and found
purest metal. There will be profit
rather than loss in the repatriation
of the German colonists which Will
reduce the population temporarily.
And the natural resources of the
provinces are immensely greater.
The war now ended was called a
raw material" war, and the subsoil
wealth of the restored provinces was
one Of its prizes. The weapons
driven into the heart Of France were
smeltedsand the ores of Alsace-Lor-
raine, with the conquered coal of
the Lens district. Only between the
Meuse and the Rhine are coal and
iron found SO close together as to be
worked advantageously.
In 1875 France had all these de-
posts. In 1915 France lost half
the coal. In 1871 France lost nearly
all its coal and half it's iron. In
1914 Germany struck for the other
half of the iron. Germany's eco
nomic power rests upon these facts.
1t could not have prolonged the war
without the 21,000,000 tons Of ore
mined annually in the province now
returned. The ores Of German Lor-
raine alone are estimated to be
worth 100000, 900. Part of them
were sold to the Wendell syndicate
for $65, 100000 on the ground that
they belonged to French citizens.
Another portion was sold to the Won
Raumer syndicate for 100000
marks, the state reserving the right
of participation to the extent of 81
per cent.
All these were developed by Ger
many for itself, and they now fall
to France without the destruction
which has followed every German
footstep insretreat. If the results of
the war went no further, this alone
would reduce Germany to a second
rate nation in an economic sense,
and to impotence in war.-New York

Mdg Flr Food Prices

1t is the belief of high government officials
that with the ending of the war there will be
such demand in Europe for foodstuffs and
fEommodities from the United States that it will
be necessary to fix prices in this country for
tktapk articles of life. The food control act, UNI
lher which the food administration now oper-
ates, is not believed to give authority for this,
and probably it will be necessary for congress
Wo enact additional legislation covering the sub
beet
Except in isolated cases the government has
not fixed prices during the war, but it is feared
there will be greater necessity for doing this
ut the close of the war, when the demand for
Hood will be more general and not under the
Regulatory discipline of the military forces. The
Mood administration has an arrangement with
1.-The food controllers of the allied countries I'm
ider which the United States is to supply neces-
Isary food for the civil populations this winter
kven il the war should end this fall. And even
ff no such agreement existed this country would
Heel under moral obligation to protect Europe
from starvation.
III An Increased demand for food in Europe
Hupon the cessation of hostities would send
lpfices skyward in the United States, especially
M the repressive authority OF the food admins
IIfration stops with the war. Consequently it
| Ih,ay be necessary to take steps to protect the
american people both by controlling exports
lind by fixing prices--Washington Post.

Blue Sky Law.

Omaha, Nov. Ito the Editor OF
The Bee: One of the first duties
upon the assembling Of the incoming
legislature should be to order an in
vestigation of the office Of the state
railway commission. Too many per-
mits have been issued authorizing
the sale Of stocks in fake potash
plants" that never produced a pound
Of potash rubber tire factories"
that never have or never will pro-
duce a tire; automobile factories"
that never have and never will man.
ufacture a car; "oil companies" that
are authorized to sell swamp and
desert land by the square mile and
that never did and never will pro-
duce oil; investment companies"
that promise return on their in
vestment that could not be made
possible by any honest and legiti-
mate plan
The state has been flooded with
agents who present to their prospec-
tive victims finely Autographed per
mits' from the estate of Nebraska"
as proof that they are entitled to the
confidence of the public.
In 1913 the legislature passed a
blue sky law that had been care
fully prepared by Senator Cordial,
assisted by other prominent attor-
neys and business men. This law
would seem to be quite effective if
enforced. One provision gives the
railway commission power "to deny
permits where, in the judgment of
the commission when the securities
offered for sale do not promise fair
return" thus leaving the entire
question of issuing permits" to the
Judgment" of the commission I'm
der this they should be, and must
be. held responsible for any imposi-
ton upon the people.
If, however, the members Of the
commission can come through an in
vestigation with clean hands through
any blame of the law, then let the
legislature Immediately pass one
that can and will be enforced, even
if it requires the removal of anyone
whose duty it is to enforce it.

WITH THE PRESIDENT ABROAD.

Mr.. Wilson, as was all along expected, has
decided to attend the peace council in person.
While this decision may start considerable dis
cussion, serious question as to its propriety will
hardly be raised No good reason is put for
ward against his going, while many may be
cited for his personal presence in Paris, at least
during the opening days of the council. Wood
row Wilson is chief magistrate and executive
head of the United States; he has been prin-
cpal actor in the great drama of the war. The
people followed him implicitly and confidently
in his war plans, and all the nations gave heed
to his words of wisdom and decision.
For these reasons it is almost imperative
that he attend the solemn conclave that will
formulate the conditions on which the peace
and tranquility of the world are to be secured.
Any tradition with reference to the temporary
absence of the president beyond the territorial
boundaries of the country has become ana
chronistic. Such objection dates back to time
when the traveller leaving the shores of his home
land cut himself off from communication with
it for the time of his voyage or longer. Today
it is possible for the president to be in touch
with affairs at home every minute he is away
1t is hardly likely that any public interest or
business will suffer because the executive is not
personally present at his Office in Washington
That the visit OF the president of the United
States to France, England, and perhaps Italy,
will be construed as an act of peculiar grace at
this time can scarcely be doubted. 1t will be
another guaranty to the world of our sincerity
in support of our national ideals.

The Democratic Family Ruction.

The savage attack on William Jennings
Bryan by the paper that once pointed with
pride" to his name printed in its flagstaff as its
editor is suggestive of the internal disruption of
the once triumphant democracy of Nebraska.
We hold no brief for Mr.. Bryan, who is amply
able to defend himself-we never supported him
for any office-we seldom agreed with his views
on public questions. 1t is interesting to read,
however, in paper which formerly lauded him
to the skies this belated post mortem:
For twenty years" under that glittering
orihamme we "led the nation" we Nebraska
democrats did Led the nation to repudiate
us in four successive campaigns and the party
to four successive Waterloos
First he went into the ditch for free silver
at the anonted ratio of 10 to l.
Next we went over the precpce in oppos-
Ing the imperialism" that has brought free
dom and civilization to the Filipinos and to
the United States crown of glory as the
most altrustc of nations.
Finally, we landed in the bottomless pit
with federal licenses for the trusts" as a new
paramount under which interesting system
50 per cent monopoly was to be legalized
To use an expressive colloquialism, Gust let
that soak in"
Think of devoted in-season and out-of-
season worshipper of the free coinage fetish
ridiculing it as "the anonted ratio"
Listen to this persistent monitor against
"the menace of imperialism concede that failure
to retain the Philippines would have lost us
crown of glory.
Watch this self-vaunted enemy of monopoly
smash the idol which it summoned us all to
worship as the sure promise of relief from op-
presions of the odious trusts.
Oh, what an awakenngl If all the panaceas
prescribed by democratic platforms these many
years are admittedly false nostrums, what faith
can be placed in the democratic paramounts OF
the future?

Germany's Peaceful DEVELOPMENT"

DR.. Soils persistent appeal for modi6ca-
ton of terms of the armistice dscloses finally
something of its foundation Underlying his
statement that the peaceful development" of
Germany is involved, may be discovered some
thing of the extent to which the kaiser and his
crew were concerned in holding on to Alsace-
Lorraine and the mines of Belgium and north
ern France. Without the regions west of the
Rhine, the Germans lose control of iron, coal
and potash deposits. These the foreign minis
ter asks to be returned Bismarck knew in 1871
the value of these deposits and with utmost de-
liberation wrenched them from France. 1t was
not sentiment then, but carefully planned rob-
berry; it will not now be sentiment, but even
handed justice that will prevail. The peaceful
development of Germany will be considered, but
not at the expense of Germany's victims.

RECAST.

The common people walk today
Their kings have slumped and run away,
The mastodon with stalking stride
Again has shuffled off his hide;
The untold ages Of the past
In newer crucible are cast;
The alligators tooth and claw
Are working on a new resaw.
The segregated rights Of men
Have staggered under freedoms pen;
The swaying systems boast and pride
Is taking now It's long. long slide;
The shouts of free hearts rent the air
In answering PHYS loving prayer;
The rumbling roar OF cannon cease
To usher in an age OF peace.
All, slow the grind but find the grist,
Since love upon this planet kissed:
Since first the boiling heat became
The steam's embodiment of fame;
And painful to the conscious sense
The fate Of Loves first recompense;
But ever as the ages meet
From molicule to toddling feet
The stride has always been one way
To usher in happy day.
And now as cannon cease to roar.
The echoes cry, mo rich no poor
No kings. no queens. no potentates,
But loves eternal happy state"
So let the echong Of the heart,
In every bosom love impart
That those who died may catch the
strain.
And in new blood return again
To find the earth they left behind
In mother love and tenderness twined.
