Money for Railroad Uses.

On January |, next, only five and one-half
months away, the railroads will be restored to
corporate management. This process involves
some very interesting questions of detail. Chief
among them are those of finance and rates,
the one practically including the other. At
present the government is carrying an item of
almost billion and quarter of dollars money
advanced to the different lines, in addition to
an operating deficit of $400,000000, which may
be swelled considerably before the end.
This latter item Chairman Clark of the
house committee on interstate commerce says
should be written off as part Of the war cost
1t probably will be, although it will stand for
ever as monument to commemorate the blum
der made when the roads were seized Such
action will not solve the greater and more
pressing problem of how to provide money for
the roads when they have been returned to
their owners Operating expenses may be met
by increased rates and by economies in man
agement federal control has overlooked. This
does not, of course, contemplate reduction in
wages Nothing definite has been brought for
ward to show where the billions needed for i'm
provements and extensions are to be raised.
Loans by the federal treasury is one expedient
proposed but this will not furnish the steadily
increasing flow of fresh capital needed to keep
the great transportation system of the country
up to its best ability to meet demands for
service.
No single phase of reconstruction is more
important than that dealing with the railroads.
1t is the very key to the industrial, commercial
and financial fabric of the country today, and
must be so dealt with. On the solution reached
by congress will depend the course of business
in America for long time to come.

Socialist Opposition to Treaty.

Nothing could more perfectly illustrate the
insincerty of the socialists of Europe than their
opposition to the peace treaty. While embrac-
ing all the doctrines of pacihsm, making great
pretense of utmost horror of war; because OF
its economic waste of wealth and life, they
strenuously object to the compact outlined by
the Paris conference because it will "sufocate
bolshevism" Bolshevism is intended to suf-
focate existing order, to establish world with
out wealth of any kind, in which today's pro-
duction will be consumed today, and each morn
ing will see new start made because nothing
has been held over from yesterday. Ignorance
will share equal terms with intelligence,
and enterprise and initiative must divide with
sloth and Incidence in this world The
MARKHAM doctrine, as expanded by Lenine into
the dictatorship OF the proletariat, promises
commonalty of poverty and the end of prog
res One of the strongest arguments adduced
in support of the treaty is the attitude of the
socialists.

alarmed and their search became
more anxious. King Bird was bad
ly upset, for he feared that in one
of his snaps at Peggy he might have
swallowed her without knowing it.
He flew back and forth looking
everywhere for her.
Here l am, King Bird, don't
worry over me-" buzzed Peggy, but
King Bird never heard her, for
her buzz was like the buzz of the
hundreds of honey bees with whom
she was flying. He didn't know her,
either, for all lady bees looked alike
to him, and he kept away from,
them, for he knew they could all
sting alike, too.
In the clover field Peggy went
joyfully to work, and soon had the
sack in her throat filled to the brim
with sweet honey. All around her
were other lady bees filling their
sacks, but so busy were they that
none had smile or pleasant word
for her. Instead of buzzing happily
from flower to flower as Peggy and
Billy had done in their jolly fun,
the workers went at their task very
seriously, not wasting a second in
playing or looking around.
Still they made very pretty pic
ture in the gaily colored clover and
Peggy paused to enjoy the scene.
Buzz! Buzz! Why do you idle
while others work." demanded
frowning masterful lady bee, giving
Peggy very ugly look. Later she
was to learn that this lady bee was

Busybuzz.
But we might make her a queen
when we drive our old queen out"
whispered Honeydew.
There you go plotting again."
Honeydew. And it will get you into
trouble. AS for me, I'm on the side
of the old queen We will take this
young upstart into our hive, but it
will be as a worker, not as

"Ill make you a queen yet"
whispered Honeydew into Peggys
ears, as the bees, their sacks filled,
winged their way toward the hives.
Il don't want to be queen and
don't believe l want to visit your

Nonsense! You've been adopted
into our swarm and you'll have to

Peggy soon found that what Busy

the league of nations would not mean such a
surrender. 1t is clearly up to the president to
show that it would not. One thing also is that
the American people are not particularly inter-
ested at this time in anybodys dreams.
The vision our forefathers saw was of a
"more perfect union" of the people; of a nation
which might expand and grow strong. gov
ernment was formed, clothed with power to

TWO OMAHA PROBLEMS.

The ice and garbage questions are not new
to Omaha's summertime program. In fact, they
are with US always, but this is no reason they
should be permitted to continue forever.
At present householders are finding some
difficulty in securing all the ice they need
Wholesale buyers do not experience this trou-
Bile. The municipal plant, set up especially to
serve the small consumer, finds it more con-
venient to sell to those who purchase in ton
or more lots, so the little fellows have to wait
Housewives complain of the difficulty en-
countered iii getting the household refuse re-
moved. This business is so mudded that the
casual citizen does not know where to put the
blame, being aware only that the system of
handling the garbage is far from satisfactory.
The remedy in either case is simple enough
benefits may be reliably enjoyed by the people
as we'll as by the big concerns will help in the
one case. No objection is laid against the ef-
fort to earn proper return on the Investment
in the plant but the general public should have
preference in sales. The service should be
organized on a delivery basis, also.
A better way than prevails must be found
for collecting and disposing of garbage. The
contract system as it now exists has been ex-
perimented with for many years, and found in
effectual. Some one of many workable plans
for handling the problem should be adopted.
Far more people will be benefited by the cree
ton of garbage disposal plant and the
ganization of collective force to serve the
homes than will be affected by the erection of
new city Jail or the building of riverside
boulevard.
If the commissioners will take hold of some
of the homely problems of city life, immed-
ately pressing, and give over chasing visions
of the future, they will find themselves in way
of regaining confidence of the people who pay
the bills.

THE TRIUMPH.

From that Arch Of Triumph they took the
chains
Which had symbolized defeat,
That in this hour Of victory
OF times revenge complete,
The conquering forces might march
through
And Pariss heart entrance,
The while that every nations voice
Was shouting ''Vive la France!"
Twas long delayed-that victor hour,
Long from the bitter past
When the Prussian's iron heel trod down
The nations heart; at last
IT'S come: the Prussians humbled might
The triumph doth enhance,
His doom rings out In one great shout
Which rises, ''Vive la France!
Here was the pain, the suffering,
Humiliation dire;
Yet never through the passing years
Was dimmed her patriot fire;
So now Is hers the triumph won,
Hers the victorious glance
Thrown back on woe forever past
AS the world cries, "Vive la France!'

But it wasn't the perfume that

something that she couldn't resist.
Busy, busy. busy bee,
Never idle, never free.

So sang the lady bees. In vain
Peggy struggled against the charm
of the song. In vain she tried to
keep her mind on the warning of
Bundle Bee Buzz that If she joined
the worker bees they would make
her slave, never to be free again.

Soldiers Insurance.

We mentioned recently that g.
100000 soldiers returning from
France carried about $1S,000,0 00,-
600 of government life insurance,
which they should by all means con-
tinue under the favorable terms Of
fered by the government. OF course
that applies equally to soldiers who
were not sent overseas. Altogether
the government insured the lives of
nearly 100000 young men.
That insurance is a social asset.
We can not afford to lose it. The
men can not afford to miss the I'M
usual opportunity that the govern
ment now offers them. While they
are on the government pay roll the
insurance goes on automatically.
When they are discharged from gov
eminent service it will lapse unless
they take the necessary steps to con-
tinue it.
The rather cluttered and chaotic
condition that prevailed in the bu-
reau of war risk insurance is an OBJ
stacle. With something like 4,000,-
OOO policies outstanding, under
which many claims arose, the bu-
reau fell considerably behind, and a
great deal of dissa tisfaction resulted.
Government is proverbially slow, but
in the matter of paying it's admitted
debts it is equally sure. Its policy
holders should not let annoyance at
delay blind them to the real ad-
vantages of this insurance.
AS the case now stands some A.
100000 young men can insure one
anothers lives, the government
handling the money and the details
without cost to them. If they drop
out OF this government-mana as
ISOLATION nine-tenths Of them will go
uninsured until. later on, obligations
to dependents cause them to enter
some other insurance association If
they already have the insurance
habit when they assume obligations
to dependents most of them will take
more insurance. The question is
whether some billions of mutual
life insurance, supervised by the gov
ernmen at cost, shall be wiped off
the slate. The answer ought decid-
edly to be NO
