The Stone Aqe of B0gs

One of the chief joys in life is throwing
stones-it is not an adult joy. to be sure, but
is there man anywhere who did not once upon
time, in the dim years of the past. find pleasure
in it?
The younger generation is at it, exactly as
ours was, back in 1882 or 1872 or whenever we
were young enough to fling pebble without
getting horrid kink in the right arm.
By every brook and pond and along the sea-
shore, the small boys of 1919 take their stand
and throw stones. Water for some reason is
especially tempting to them in their exercise of
this energetic art. 1t seems as if every harbor
in the United States must need dredging by rea-
son of the throwing propensities of Ameri-
can youth.
To us, now that we are older grown, it ap-
pears ridiculous, an irritating pastme. To the
boy it is perfectly normal and rational thing
to do. What we're the muscles of the arm made
for if not for the swift finging of Shippers
the pond or bay, or the "shying" of small-sized
rocks at telegraph wires to hear them ring?
In our youthful days there were specialists in
stone throwing, and we suppose they have their
worthy and competent successors These spe-
,alists were far and away more skilful than the
ordinary run of boys. They seemed to be con-
tinuay busy with their practice. There was
never moment of their progress along coun-
try road when they were not indulging in their
amateur balistics s.-Providence Journal.

The "Sympathetic" Strike.

Action by the American Federation of Labor
on Monday is commended to the unions in
Omaha. Delegates to the great labor con-
gress, by a'decisive majority, amended its con-
sttution to provide for the revocation Of the
charter of a city central labor union that calls
a general or sympathetic strike without specific
authorization from the great national and in
ternationl unions interested This is to prevent
the interference with contracts made in good
faith. Labor organizations that go on strike
do so usually with the approval of the general
union of which they are part, but this does
not carry with it the right to call on other
Unions only indirectly or remotely involved, to
violate working agreements or contracts by
joining in the sympathetic strike. For the mat
ter of that the general strike has been exploded
by recent experience in Seattle, Winnipeg, and
other places where it has been tried. The out
come has been disastrous and without benefit
to either side. Thoughtful leaders of labor
recognize this and therefore have put the ban
on the general strike, save in the most extreme
cases.

Shorter Work-Day for Mother.

Omaha housewives are brought to consider
alton of the eight-hour day for domestic serv-
ants. All the we'll known arguments for the
innovation are presented here just as they have
been elsewhere, and the experiment will very
likely be tried. 1t leaves the greatest element
of the problem untouched. Those who can al
ford to keep servants may be able to adjust
their household arrangements to meet the con-
dition proposed, but how about the households
where no servants are kept? These are in the
majority, and in them the housework, whether
pleasure or drudgery, is done by mother. She
still is required to be stirring long before the
whistle blows in the morning, that her may
be sent away to his days work with good
breakfast. And equally, after he has finished his
eight-hour stint on the job, mother must greet
him at home not only with a smile but with
well-cooked meal 1t is not needed to recapitu-
late the endless round of little and big things
that fill in her daily program. She is at work
before the bread-winner starts his day, and she
is going after he has finished his evening meal
and is taking his rest. No eight-hour schedule
for her. When the day has been reformed for
all others, and everything settled to the suiting
of the workers for wages, some consideration
should be given to mother, who tolls for her
board and clothes, in addition to the joy OF
seeing her home we'll kept and her loved ones

Necessity of Sunday Papers

In the discussions recently concerning the
Sunday newspapers-a religious organization
having proposed resolution to oppose the
Sunday paper-one of the ministers cautioned
the assembly against taking radical action upon
the question. LET US be sensible about this
matter" he said. "The Sunday newspaper is
Just as necessary as the Sunday trolley, which
you attempted to condemn years ago." He
went on to show that the necessity of the
Sunday paper had been amply demonstrated
during the war.
The one thing which many people fail to
recognize is the fact that the Sunday newspaper
is made Saturday night and not on Sunday.
There would be more logic in opposing the
Monday morning paper than opposing the Sun
day morning newspaper, if one were thinking
only of preventing labor on the Sabbath.
But it really makes little difference about
the discussions The Sunday newspaper has
established its place-and it hasn't harmed the
churches either. It is going to remain in its
place, too, regardless of all discussions. 1t Is
now championed by many of the ablest as well
as many Of the most religious minds in the
world, and any organization that opposes it is
simply fighting the elements themselves-or
they might as we'll fight the elements. To be
deprived of the news of the world for one day
i week is to be one-seventh ignorant And to
fail to read the great Sunday newspapers with
their additional features besides the news is
to be more than one-seventh behind in the
matter Of spirituality. Columbus Dispatch.

PEACE AND THE NEAR FUTURE.

Germanys expressed willingness to sign the
peace treaty prepared at Paris ends the tension
that was felt as to the outcome of the major
negotiations 1t was we'll understood from the
date of the armistce that the German govern
ment would in the end be compelled to accept
whatever terms the victorious allies required.
Whether this would come without further mill
tary operations has not been so certain. Now
the armies will be needed only for such time as
will elapse before the German government has
been put on stable footing and the orderly
processes of carrying out the obligations of the
pact are fully established How long this will
take may not now be stated, but until it is
brought to pass, the watch on the Rhine" must
be maintained for the safety of all.
Other matters of serious import are crop
ping out The dissatisfaction of certain of the
smaller nations with results attained is openly
expressed. Certain of these threaten to form
coalition against the so-called Big Five" in
tending to resistln some way the settlements
proposed. How serious this may become is a
subject for speculation, but it will be of an
annoyance than menace, because Of the weak
ness of the group involved. A combination
resting solely on foundation of unsatisfed
selfish ambitions is not likely to make great
headway agans the powerful nations of the
world in their program for unity. Such tur-
bulence is not surprising, however, coming as
it does as the aftermath of an upheaval SO
colossal.
Interest in the peace treaty, so far as Amer
leans are concerned, will now be transferred
from Versailles to Washington. The document
must be presented to the senate for formal
consideration. AS yet only one thing is fully
settled. The American people want peace.
They are willing to give trial to anything short
of actual surrender of national sovereignty that
promises peace. On this feeling rests the
strength of the presidents position. Out of it
will come situation that may produce such a
composition of views as will end in treaty
more completely satisfactory and serviceable
than is offered.
Steadying down is what the country needs
just now, not the high-powered agitation that
keeps all the citizens in a semi-frenzy of ap-
prehension. America is the only strong gov
ernlnent today whose stability may be relied
upon. 1t is not time to rock the boat.

Sound Law on Ballots.

The Nebraska supreme court has just ruled
that names may be written on the primary
ballot and such votes be counted. This de-
cison seems sound from all angles. To have
held otherwise would have destroyed the pur-
pose of the law entirely. 1t must always hap
pen that voters may prefer some one whose
name has not been formally presentd to one
who has, and these are clearly inside their legal
rights when they give expression to their perfer-
ence by writing in a name. In the past real
emergencies have arisen in Nebraska when the
electorate would have been outraged had not
the voters been accorded this opportunity to
make choice and select someone whose name
had not been printed on the official ballot The
purpose of the direct primary has been under
stood to be that of giving the freest possible
latitude in the nomination of candidates,
whether on partisan or nonpartisan tickets. 1t
is just and proper that certain regulations be
made for the government of primary elections
at which party tickets are being made up, but
for the nonpartisan nominations no restrictions
should be placed on the right OF selection by
the voters least OF all to confine them to a
choice between names that happen to be printed
on the ballot.

ed. "You rival my own Cinderella in
beauty, lacking only her daintiness
Of foot. II you could wear the glass
slipper"
"Why. I'm sure I could" inter-
rupted Peggy breathlessly. TITS not
bit smaller than my own slippers" I"
The prince looked with pleased
eyes at the tiny foot which she thrust
out at him. Then he took off Peg
gy's own slipper, and tried on the
glass slipper In its place. 1t fitted
as easily and as snugly as though
made to measure.
''Ah, you shall be my second wife
when Cinderella dies" he cried en-
Enthusiastically.
"She will wait a long time for
that" laughed a silvery voice behind
Peggy, and there stod Cinderella
herself. I'm going to live for ages
and ages, SO I'd advise Princess Peg
gy to pick out some nice young
prince Of her own and marry him
when she gets ready. AS for you,
my handsome prince, II / catch you
flirting again I'll lock you up in
your room and feed you on prunes
and persimmons for a week."
With that Cinderella, still laugh
ing, but showing a disturbing jealous
gleam in here eye, lifted the prince
by his ear and led him away. She
left Peggy much embarrassed. Of
course Peggy wouldn't for the world
have fiirted with Cinderella's prince,
especially when she was Cinderella's
guest, but the situation certainly
did look bad. 1t was all the princes
fault, but then she certainly had
wanted to try on that glass slipper.
Peggy looked down at her foot, and
there was the glass slipper still upon
it. And apparently the prince had
carried her own slipper away with
him.
This caused Peggy to feel still
more embarrassed, for how could
she explain wearing one satin slip
per and one glass slipper.
A roar Of laughter drew her at

ingly graceful, and when he invited
the ladies one by one to dance with
him, they eagerly accepted. He
swung them around the ball room
in a jolly. rhythmic romp that put
every one in a merry mood.
Finally he came to Cinderella. She
was still bit vexed at her prince
husband, and as she danced with the
elephant she began a pretty flirta-
ton. And the prince didn't like
1t bit, for he chewed his thumb and
fingered his sword as he glared at
the odd pair. Peggy though he was
silly to be Jealous for, Of course,
the elephant was only an animal.
Suddenly Cinderella gave a loud
shrek. and drew back from the ele-
phant, staring at him with fright
ened eyes. Then she broke away
and fed wildly from the ball room.
The elephant started after her.
then apparently changed his mind,
and seized Peggy, who was the near
est to him. Before she had time to
be alarmed he had whirled her into
a mad, frolicksome, exciting dance
that made her feet fairly fly.
Then as he chanced to open his
mouth, Peggy saw what had horri-
fed Cinderella. 1t was mass of
red hair-hair that filed the ele-
plants throat In fash of an eye
Peggy realized the truth. The ele-
pant wasn't an elephant at all. 1t
was man in disgunse-and that
man was Red Beard.

ing question: made an oral con-
tract with my father to remain on

he promised to deed me before he

the other children in the balance
of the farm. Under this contract ]
