Right in the Spotlight.

Friedrich, Ebert. who became the
nominal head of the German provi-
sional government after the fall Of
the empire, has been vice president
CT the German social democrats, and
president OF the main committee of
the Reichstag. He was by trade a
harnessmaker and later editor of a
socialist newspaper. He has been
prominent in the party councils for
many years. He became social
ist member of the Bremen city coun-
Gil in 1900 and in 1912 he was sent
to the Reichstag from that city. A
year later he was elected leader of
the party to succeed August Bebel.
During the greater part of the war
Herr Ebert joined Herr Scheide-
mann and other socialists, who sup
ported the war, against the small
and persecpted faction headed by
Karl Liebknecht, who opposed it,
with the result that Herr Ebert has
been looked upon by radical social
lists all over the world as a renegade
from socialist ideals and an instru-
ment of German autocracy.

Over There and Here

The German crusier Wiesbaden,
reported sunk by the revolutionaries
for refusing to hoist the red nag,
takes its name from the "badhaus'
resort on theI Rhine. Wiesbaden is
to Mayence what Excelsior Springs
is to Kansas City, and about the
same distance apart. 1t comes

trality, but the situation need not IN
terfere with the task of boiling out
bad livers, Of which the supply ap-
pears unlimited.
Now and then the war proflteer

foots up $90,121.37 OF this amount
$4,000 was paid into the treasury
of the Red Cross as guarantee OF
future good faith. The balance OF
the penalty goes to the food admin
istration treasury.

Jerry Wants Instructions.

Omaha, Nov. 1S.-To the Editor
of The Bee: In this epoch, the
world celebrating great military
victory or the majestic triumph Of
ideas, as one Of the recently en-
ployed servants of the people | have
an idea that the electors should de-
mand civic victory, too, thereby over
throwing the kaiser's and their sat-
elites who infest Lincoln. Washing
ton and elsewhere. To accomplish
the destruction of their nefarious
work at Lincoln l would suggest a
mass meeting at an early date in the
city hall or elsewhere where dele
gates from the improvement clubs
and other organizations would have
an opportunity to air their griev-
ances and give instructions to their
lawmakers.
There is no necessity to tell any
sane citizen how essential it is to
discipline some Of those lawmakers.
AS a servant Of the people. if l diso-
hey orders / cannot assign any
plausible reason why l should not
be court martialed similar to the
military men. l believe that the
hanging Of a few political traitors
would be beneficial.
