Partisanism and the World War.

Confronted by a record of laundering in
efficiency in handling the business of the nation,
the democrats in congress and out are raising
doleful cry. Unless they are permitted to re-
tain the control Of congress the war will be lost
When the present congress was elected the ap-
peal was that unless democrats were
elected the nation would be plunged into
war; with equal, and no more sincerity, the
sachems of the unterrihed have reversed their
tune now. Evidently they count on their abil-
ity to fool all the people all the time.
The truth is that in no particular has the
war program of the president been hindered by
republican action; frequently it would have
failed had it not been for republican support
Opposition from such democrats as Dent,
Kitchin, Clark and others in the house, and
from Chamberlain, Hitchcock and their asso-
ciates in the senate, has at times been so serious
as to delay, if it did not defeat, the presidents
plans.
The latest man power bill was held up for
weeks because of the obstructive tactics of this
element of the democratic majority.
When the draft law first was before the
house Speaker Clark relinquished the gavel and
| from the floor made long but Intellectual argu-
ment against the measure
When the president sought authority to re-
organize the military administration he en-
trusted the measure to the judiciary committee
of the senate, because of the unfriendly attitude
of the military affairs committee, dominated by

ONLY ONE BOSS FOR THE POLICE.

In an army there can be only one commander,
and in the police department there can be only
one head. This proposition is presented every
time the attempt is made to unionize members
of police force or to bring them into any sort
of an organization whose interest may clash with
their duties as law-enforcing officers. In other
words, no policeman can be safely put in the po-
sition where he has to decide whether to take
orders from his superior officer or to follow the
edict of his union.
This does not mean that employees OF the po-
lice department, any more than employees OF any
other department of the city, cannot associate
themselves together for mutual benefit Gin fact,
in Omaha they are so associated in their Police
Relief association), but it does mean that there
shall be no side issues that may divert them from
the faithful and whole hearted performance Of
duty
So far as the feeling prevails that the posi-
lions carry inadequate pay to meet the stress of
war times, the new home rule charter
for Omaha, which is to be soon submitted for
ratification, provides the remedy for both the
police and fire departments by giving the coun-
Gil power to make increases which are now alb
solutely barred by law. The fact that these
changes are substantially the only changes made
by the charter trainers is proof that considera-
ton is being given to the just claims of the men
in these services. The charter cannot possibly
be voted on until amended, nor can the payroll
changes be legally made before the new charter
becomes operative.
If the police officers will look the situation
squarely in the face they can readily see where
their true course of action lies and where the
lines run that they must not overstep.

Chance to End Tipping

A New York woman of wealth has pledged
herself to "tipless" policy toward male waters
during the period of the war. Her reason is
that male waters should be serving the country
and that women waters are to be preferred any
how. IT,. it,.
II has required more courage than they,
possess for the American people to put an end
to the tipping custom. With few exceptions
they lack the nerve to face the scorn that is d.
rected to them when they omit to leave with
the male waiter bit OF unearned and unde-
served largess.
The tipping business is all matter OF fool
ism CUSTOM based more on cowardice tnan on
common sense, equity and democratic propriety;;
Every employee, man or woman, should be paia
in full for service by those who employ him or
her. Any other system emphasizes the servant
idea. tends to destroy self-respect, sets up a
false standard OF rights and privileges, and
\ works an injustice on the public.

Food Prices and the Future.

The soaring prices of butter and other dairy
products may not be exactly TYPICAL but will
fairly illustrate one phase of the food situation.
Under the food administration law the pres-
dent is authorized to fix fair price for wheat,
and sugar is under control through another
device. Mr.. Hoover within the limit OF his
discretionary powers has tried to set bounds on
the prices to be charged for various commodi-
ties, but with little real success. Purchases on
behalf of the government have been on such
scale as to encourage high prices to private con-
sumers, and present market quotations indicate
approach to famine exactions. Absolute con-
troll by the food administrator of all agencies OF
production and distribution, with rigid fxation
of prices, may not be possible, nor is it desra-
Bile, yet conditions tend in direction that may
lead to some such action. The cost of living is
increasing faster than the ability OF the people
to meet it.

Milford Soldiers Home.

Milford, Neb., Sept. 18.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Mrs. Bradbury,
the newly appointed matron of the
Milford Soldiers Home, has already
established the excellent reputation
she brought from Grand Island. She
has diffused kindness and the home
spirit in kitchen, dining room and
throughout the whole institution
Her helpfulness has been so mani
fest that the members of the home
believe in her they have found a
friend who will do everything she
can to make their stay pleasant and
enjoyable.
In anticipation of the winter the
water mains have been relaid and
a new centrifugal electric driven
motor will soon be installed that will
at all times provide an abundance
of hot and cold water. This con-
venience was much needed and will
be source of considerable satisfac-
ton to the members. A brick plat
form has also been prepared south
of the administration building for
the cannon that in the future will
announce the Fourth Of July and
other patriotic occasions to the sur
rounding country.
The birthday of General Pershing
was celebrated in an appropriate
manner at the home The main as
,sembly room was decorated with
flags; there was music, speaking and
full attendance. The sentiment
was everywhere expressed in song,
speech and among the members that
in this crisis all must stand behind
the government 1t is now for every
patriotic citizen to help and, if pos
sible, make the conflict short, sharp
and decisive" but in any case it
must terminate with Germany like

Z On the Macedonian Front.

Events in Macedonia are worthy more at
tention than has been paid to them for the last
few months. The forward movement of the
Allies on che Salonki sector, attended by such
success as to mark it as major operation, holds
much of vital possibilities for the victory that
is coming now. A considerable group of
thoughtful statesmen in both England and
to Berlin would lie through the Balkans and
Austria. These were to some extent silenced
by the CHASTITY Gallipol campaign, the Rou-
manian collapse and the utter rout of the Ser
bans. Now that the Turk has been upset on
the south, and the Serbian army has been we'll
reformed and become an active factor, with
Greece as a vigorous participant, the whole as
pect on the Macedonian line has changed its
hue.
Should the present forced retirement of the
Bugars continue, it must in time open the way
to the Danube, thus forcing Austria to seriously
assume the defensive there This in turn will re-
quire the full military strength of the kaiser's
principal ally and prevent sending divisions to
the western front.
Conditions in the Ukraine and Roumana
are such as might easily lead to the active re-
sstance of either or both to German aggression
and oppression. The whole situation is preg-
nant with such potential effect on the war situa.
ton that careful watching Of progress there will
be we'll repaid. Germany's back door is far from
being safely guarded at this moment.
