An Authority ON Labor.

But II is as an authority upon labor
and sociological questions that King is
best known. AS Deputy Minister OF
Labor he framed the Canadian indus
trial disputes act, and he has written
much regarding labor problems. his
latest book. Industry and Humanity"
having had a wide circulation both in
the United States and Great Britain.
In connection with the Rockefeller
Foundation he also performed notable
service. and only recently he returned
from England after an exhaustive study
OF social and labor problems there.
No man. indeed, is fitted better by
training and temperament to deal with
the perplexing problems OF labor and
capital which beset the Dominion in
these times. Young. energetic, well in
formed. imaginative and perceiving more
clearly than most of his contemporaries
the spirit OF the times. its tendencies
and their causes. his influence should
count powerfully in the sociological re-
construction that seems bound to come.

Fully Equipped for Task.

Intellectually. King towers over most
of his political contemporaries. At the
University of Toronto, from which he
was graduated at,the age OF twenty-one,
he showed remarkable brilliancy, par
ticularly in the field OF history and
political economy. At twenty-five he
obtained the degree OF LIB, and a
year later received that OF NJ. A. After
a year OF journalism, mostly as a re-
porter on the Toronto Globe, he en-
tered the University of Chicago. obtain
ing the degree of NJ. A. from that in
stitution in 1898.
He next took course at Harvard,
emerging therefrom in 1899 with the
degree of Ph.D. Following this he
travelled extensively in Europe, visiting
many of the great educational centres,
and studying the political and social
institutions Of most of the continental
nations.
Studious and cultured. he resembles
Laurier in that he loves and knows the
best and highest In literature; and his
library, the chief companion OF a some
what lonely life, tells OF an idealistic
elevated mind. Both in Great Britain
and in the United States he is widely
known. the friend of celebrated public
lists and statesmen. In England, men
like Sir John Simon, Mr.. Asquith and
Viscount Grey are his warm personal
friends, while in the United States his
work in connection with the Rockefeller
Foundation brought him into intimate
touch with many notable people.
AS an orator. King possesses great
qualifications OF persuasion and power.
Lacking the presence and magnetism Of
Laurler. he has a copious vocabulary.

Across in One Flight.

Across the Atlantic by air route is now an
actually and no longer dream.
What the doughty Hawker tried to do has
been accomplished by Alcock and Brown, who
are acclaimed the world over for being first to
make the flight without stop from one shore of
the ocean ITO the other.
The story of their experiences narrated by
the aviators would, in other days, have been
classed with Jules Vernes fiction, but now since
the perfection of aero machines, no performance
in the skies is considered impossible That the
two daring avators should come through free
from mshap beyond the strain and tension,
going as they did without pre-arrangement for
patrol boats, is particularly gratifying.
The significance of the achievement is that it
shows that the flight can be made-whch means
that others will follow in steadily increasing
numbers until eventually the thing will become
commonplace. While the extent to which such
flying may be converted to practical use is
yet to be seen, we may be sure it will eventually
be made to serve various highly useful pur-
poses.
Without waiting for anything more, how
ever, we may all voice Our admiration for the
men who were first across, only wishing that
America could have been accorded this honor
as it is the credit for the invention of the air
plane

and yet have comfortable little es-
tate eight miles square to call his

After the fall Of Emperor Nicholas
successive Russian revolutionaries,
who held brief power, transferred
great sums of money to Sweden, in
expectation of the time when they
would have to pack up their traps

bank alone holds $51, 900, 900 of Rus
sian gold in this way, and very prop
erly refuses to yield it to the originai
depositors, who most certainly stole
it.

Does Omaha Want a Stadium

Chicago makes much Of project to be car
ried out in Grant park which, it is expected, will
let that city boast the biggest stadium in the
world. Omaha may not hope to compete with
Chcago's enterprise in point of size, but there
is no good reason why we should not, at no
distant day, have an athletic field with accom-
modations of ample capacity for spectators in
connection with our playground and park sys-
tenn.
Such plan was promulgated and kept in
view by Park Commissioner Hummel before he
went out of Office the intention being to utilize
for this purpose the natural amphitheater ad-
joining the boulevard at Thirty-hr and Har-
ney streets, where base ball and other games
little more land could easily at comparatively
small cost, be made an almost ideal location for
the stadium, being close to town and easily
accessible from all parts of the city. lInfor-
tunately, as we believe the administration of
the parks under Commissioner Falconer has
abandoned the intention of holding this area
free to be so developed and is permitting the
space that would be used, to be partially filled
in, making the erection of stadium there a
much more costly project taken up later.
later.
Although some damage is already done, it
is not too late to get back to the original plan
if it meets with popular favor. Those inter-
ested in well-balanced system of parks, park
ways and Fairgrounds, looking to the needs
of the future of the great city which Omaha is
bound to be, should manifest an interest in this
subject right now

Back to the Mexican Border.

Renewed outbreaks OF law1essness on the
Mexican border again call for interference by
our troops to maintain order and protect life and
property on our side of the boundary line.
That there is something the matter in Mex
leo, and no serious effort on the part of the
Mexican authorities to take the situation in
hand, and of equal failure on the part of our
government to adopt policy that will protect
American interests in Mexico, is plain. Per-
haps we may, before long, have informa-
ton that will help US to a right conception Of
what this trouble in Mexico is, for Congressman
Gould of New York has submitted resolution
asking for a special committee to investigate
and report upon these topics:
l. The relations Of the government of the
United States with the republic of Mexico
from the year 1910 until the date of the report.
3 The conditions and incidents leading up
to, concerned in, or responsible for such re-
lations
g. The economic, political and physical
treatment accorded American and other for
eign citizens in Mexico and elsewhere, as to
their lives and properties in the republic OF
Mexico subsequent to 1910.
T. The extent to which the government of
the United States has obligated itself for the
collection or liquidation of private claims
against the government or people of Mexico.
S. The policy and activity of the govern
ment in presenting and pressing claims OF
American citizens for loss of life and property
g. The individual and factional responsible
ity for robbery, matreatment and murder of
American citizens in Mexico and on con-
tiguous American territory.
If the committee will ascertain the facts bear
ing on our relations with Mexico and Mexicos
utter disregard for American rights. we may
have the explanation of what is happening
and better guide for our own future conduct
toward Mexico. .... O.. .....-a

kept him bounding so high and SO
far that he couldn't touch them.
Finding his efforts in this line to be
in vain, Red Beard tried his magic.
He grunted out loud the charm with
which he had turned the Genie into
stone statue.
Fiddle dee dee, Fiddle-dee-d day
you're turned to stone, and there
you stay"
But his charm failed to work, be-
cause Peggy, Billy and the Genie
kept their fingers crossed. Then Billy
did what he had done when rescuing
Peggy and the other brides from
Red Beard. He used the Turks own
charm.
Fiddle dee-dee! Fiddle dee day.
You're turn to stone and there

Flop. Down came Red Beard
right in the midst of one of his 20
foot strides. The charm had in

and the springy 70-foot boots shot

fingers crossed. He leaped over
their heads, and while he couldn't
stop them, he hindered their flight
so much that the horsemen were
rapidly overhauling them.
Billy saw how desperate was their
plight and his nimble wits quickly
planned another surprise for the
Turk. Tied to his saddle he had a
long rope which he used for a lasso
when playing cowboy. Coiling this
he whirled it about his head, and
sent the moose flying upward. The
moose settled over one of Red
Boards legs, and Billy jerked 1t fast
Red Beard was tripped in the midst
of his 70-foot stride, and down he
came with a mighty smash.
'Hee-haw, I'll give you a tow"
prayed Balky Sam, setting off at a
gallop, and dragging Red Beard by
the leg behind him. From rock to
rock bounced the Turk, and every
time he hit he gave a wheezy grunt
There were rocks by the dozen in
the pass and it seemed that Red
Beard would be pounded into a Jelly,
but the rope wasn't made for such
rough work, and when Red Beard
came down particularly hard on one
jagged boulder, the lasso parted.
1t was just as we'll that it did, for
Red Boards horsemen were coming
fast, and with such a load dragging
behind, Balky Sam couldn't go fast
enough to escape.
Up, up, up the pass fled the Genie
and Balky Sam, the way growing
sleeper every minute. And behind
came shouts Of pursuit as the horse
men picked up Red Beard and fol-
lowed after.

they dashed around a bend in the
pass, and Peggy shrieked out in
alarm. The pass had ended at the
edge of a high cliff that sloped down
sharply to distant valley.

No sooner had one Of his men placed

he set off in a queer bounding limp

too, leaped into their saddles and

PuBLIcIrY-AFTER IT IS OVER.

The publication now of the German reply to
the peace terms nearly six weeks after the reply
was made is another striking example of the pc
culiar policy Of publicity enveloping our new
treaty-making-the publicity that comes after
the issues have passed.
If the document in question possesses a
public interest that makes it desirable to have it
known to the world, why should it be with
held under cover of secrecy until the next step
in the proceedings have been taken, instead Of
being promptly given out so that public opinion
ence?
We may as we'll confess that we have not
gotten very far with our demand for out-in-the-
open diplomacy At any rate we have no more
knowledge of the negotiations and transactions
of our representatives in the peace conference
in this great democratic republic where an en-
lightened people is supposed to be self-govern-
ing, than they have in the old world countries
ruled by survival of monarchical institutions
and stepped in secret court cabals. We know
no more, if as much about what has been going
on in Paris as do the people of the other four
OF the big five of Great Britain, of France, of
Italy, of Japan, where they make no pretense
of open covenants openly arrived at.
Eventually we shall have the finished treaty
and in due time probably the inside story of
how its different provisions were formulated
and agreed to. In that event. though, we will
have the full publicity after it is all over and
after it matters little whether the terms satisfy
or disappoint our expectations.

associa ton for water works men and
is in no sense a commercial organ
ization Its active members are
composed of the water works super
intendents, water commissioners,
hydraulic engineers and water works
men in general, and its purpose is
the upbuilding and improving the
sanitary and water works systems of
this country. 1t Is most worthy
organization and the most ambitious
one west of the Mississippi and Is in
every way worthy of announcement
and support by all those having the
best interest of that community at
heart. There is nothing more i'm
portant or necessary to the welfare
of any town or city than their water
supply, and anything that tends to
better and improve this all-important
public utility should be encouraged.
Won't you please urge the water
