Seven Million Workers Need Training.

Washington, d. c., June l7.---That
100000 of the 100000 industrial
workers in this country are handicapped
by lack of adequate opportunities for
self -improvemen is the statement Of the
director of the U. S. training service of
the department of labor, based on inves-
LEGATIONS made in large number of typ
ical manufacturing plants and on per-
sonal interview with manufacturers,
shop superintendent and foremen.
Modern industry has developed many
important lines Of manufacture of such
limited skill that no apprenticeship have
been instituted for them. In the skilled
lines apprenticeship are haphazardly
conducted. In most lines of production
where there is no apprenticeship ade
quate training is wholly lacking and so
employers and employees are at a great
disadvantage.

That the United States and Great Britain at
the peace conference have come to an under
sstanding for the abolition of the submarine as
legitimate weapon of war is a report easy to
believe.
The warfare which distinguishes civilization
from barbarism is warfare which, more and
more as the world advances, confines its activi-
ties to armed and avowed combatants to the ex-
clusion of noncombatants and noncombatant
property. The, submarine was devised of
course, to be used, and was at first used even by
the Germans in this war, as a vessel of destruc-
ton exclusively against other war vessels.
Whether its later misuse grew primarily out
OF the comparative German failure in its legiti-
mate use against the British navy and
later against the American navy, or out Of
the innate cussedness of the imperial German
government, does not much matter. The facil-
ity with which it could be and was turned
to general noncombatant murder and destruc-
zion at sea is enough to condemn it altogether
It's use is totally to be prohibited as much
as the use of treachery and robbery and murder
and destruction against noncombatants on land
is to be prohibited. If the United States and
Great Britain are agreed on this point, the other
parties to the coming peace may be expected
to agree-New York World.

peportation d Anarehistie Agltators.

Fifty-four aliens are on their way out of the
country, being deported by the federal authori-
ties on account of their action in connection
with the Seattle strike. These men are avowed
enemies of existing forms of government, dew
otees of anarchy, and persistent practitioners
of their distorted theories. To them any sort

lower stratum Of society, is oppression.

the signal, and all over the world the elements

gave them their chance for disseminating

the first fruits Of their endeavors.
The prompt deportation of the malcontents
will be of service. just that far Something more
is needed to remove the disease. 1t is not pos

aRat a Little Sand. .

A Pittsburgh physician finished his volun-
tary fast with feast, and topped off with a
portion" of sand His advice is to eat little
sand now and then, not, as Paul advised limo
thy, "for thy stomachs sake and thine Outlines
inhrmity," but for the general benefit of the
health. A "little" sand is too indefinite. Were
one to go abroad on the street in Cheyenne OF
Albuquerque on fine day, he might, if ten
derfoot, soon swallow an overdose. Even in
Omaha, when the February zephyr blows up
brisk from the south, surfeit is possible Only
here the sand has been we'll pulverized by the
action of the wheels on the street car rails,
whence our source Of supply. Also, it has long
been homely saying that each is bound by
fate to eat peck Of dirt during his or her life
time. But this is a specified quantity, and not
the vague and uncertain thing designated as "a
little" If this Pittsburgh doctor will just come
out into the open and cease to be mysterious,
maybe some of the present doubters will follow
him, otherwise he must look for supporters
among the gullible.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

Discussion Of the constitutional convention
is general at Lincoln just now and perhaps this
is well. II turns principally on the manner and
form for selecting the delegates. Just how the
constitutional provision is to be construed is
not clear to all. Strict construction would seem
to require for delegates qualifications similar to
those of members Of the legislature. Some
members, more literally inclined, lean to the
opinion that nonpartisan selection is not only
permissible but desirable. These points will
be we'll covered before the law calling the con-
vention is passed.
Here is another possible hitch; 1t is clearly
within the power Of the present legislature to
call constitutional convention to fix the time
and place for its assembly. as we'll as to set the
date for the election at which delegates shall be
chosen. Some of the members are said to
hesitate at taking action, believing that in the
general disturbance of political and social rela-
tons now existing danger turks for any attempt
at altering the fundamental law Of the state.
These fear the sober judgment of the people
will not be so accurately expressed as might be
at time of tranquility.
Such an objection is worthy of examination
at any time, and deserves to be given its full
weight in whatever decision may be reached.
However, the mandate of the people is laid on
the legislature The constitutional convention
was ordered by the voters, and it should there
fore be called Its time and place for meeting
may be set in the future far enough to give
reasonable time for subsistence of any popular
disquetude, but it can hardly be postponed in
definitely. 1t is the decision Of the people that
the constitution Of the state needs general re-
vision, and so il must be-

Don't Make the Soldiers Criminals.

Don't Make the Soldiers Criminals.
Omaha, Feb. 10.-To the Editor of
The Bee: I am a discharged SOL
der. / enlisted in May, 1917, and
was in France in July, 1917. I serv-
ed with our forces at Chateau
Thierry, Verdun and Argonne. Our
boys fought good fight and they
made the world free for democracy.
Many have gone west, many have
suffered wounds, many have re-
turned shocked by shot and shell,
and all this was to prohibits tyrants
ruling the world and make this
world so that men could live as men
and our children enjoy the blessings
of freedom.
I returned to Nebraska, to find
that / could not purchase cigarets
without becoming criminal. There
fore, / favor the passage of the Nc
I4eod cigaret bill. It seems to me
that the bill should pass by a large
majority, because it is a fair meas
ure to the soldiers and one that will
do much to regulate the sale and
use of cigarets in this state. 1t is a
we'll known fact that cigarets are
being used in large quantities by
the people of this state, and we
should have a law that can be en-
forced. The present law is dead
letter and no one pays any attention
to it. The Mcleod bill will make
it impossible for boys under 1S
years of age to secure eigarets, and
at the same time will permit those
over 18 to secure cigarets in a law
full manner. 1t is a fact that 80 per
cent of our soldiers use cigarets,
and they are now returning to Me-
braska, and we should not make
criminals out Of them. Our govern

, Secretary Glass gives as his opinion that no
difficulty will be encountered by prospective
builders in securing funds for carrying out
their plans. He thinks the greatest difficulty
now in the way is that Of high cost, both ma
terial and wages being we'll above normal. This
is no doubt true, and will be one Of the leading
factors in the resumption Of work. Many
building projects are under contemplation, most
of them up to the very point of starting, and
there waiting for some sign as to the expense.
Evidences are not wanting that material prices
are being brought to something approaching
pre-war schedules. This, however, is but part
Of the general scaling down, and can not go on
alone Commodities generally must go UP or
down together and only when so acting can
the balance of business be preserved. One of
the obstacles to present quick readjustment is
the large amount of material held by the gov
eminent under requsition. When the process
Of liquidation of war contracts has gone far
enough, builders and material men alike will
know better what to do. Until then some timid-
ity of approach may be expected. The country
is ready for busy building season, but invest
ors are not willing to go in on the basis of war
costs.

Our good women are now dis

them. There seems to be a move
ment on foot in Nebraska to pro-
hibit the sale of tobacco in any

a measure. l think it is the duty of
the legislature to look the facts
square in the face and put its foot
