Brick Industry in Omaha.

Brick making is not a new or novel indus
try for Omaha, but has been carried on with
considerable success for many years. Hill
tops have been ground and baked and con-
verified into noble piles for housing the activi-
ties of city life, and still the process goes on.
Clamor has been raised by neighbors, who OBJ
ject to the smoke and CRIME that accompanies
the transmutation of the raw clay into the red
brick, and other evidence Of the presence of the
kiln and its output may be had in plenty. This

persons who now plan to set up plant for the
further manufacture of brick extending the
operation to include paving brick and drain tile,
A peculiar combination of clay is required to

An ODDOrtunity,

The commander of a sunken and
doomed submarine kept a diary of
his last hours. Long afterward the
boat was salvaged and the record
found. In one sense it Is tragic
enough, but in another it is full of
hope, for it contains facts that help
to show how similar disasters may
be avoided. Every thorough story
Of catastrophe has similar effect.
Our literature is beginning to take a
turn in this direction. Old-fashioned
accounts Of our successful men de-
scribed only their successes; now we
read Of both the ups and the downs.
Readers feel that they are getting
the reefs in the ocean charted. and
learning where they can safely steer.
We learn as much from shipwreck
az from a prosperous voyage. Some
day a really energetic editor will
compel hundreds of unsuccessful
business men to supply accurate and
thorough accounts Of their lives, and
from this material, as we'll as the
old-fashioned kind, he will be able
to publish more useful articles on
business success than the majority
of those we read.-Collier's Weekly.

Not Waiting for the Treaty.

Has peace been restored between the United
States and the world? The president is dis
posed to create an impression that the fact
awaits ratification of the treaty. Commissioner
Caminetti, who is at the head of immigration
affairs, acts as if peace were already &C
complished. He has ordered war restrictions
on naturalization removed, and courts may now
proceed to invest with the rights and privileges
of citizensip aliens coming from enemy" coun-
tries Senator Hiram Johnson calls attention
to the fact that in December the president began
to demolish the war organization he had built
up, particularly that for controlling prices, and
with something of disastrous results. The army
has been demobilized, the navy recalled and dis
tributed on home station, and many other things
undone that were done in the name of war.
None of the activities of the government have
waited on the completion of the treaty negotia-
tons. In face of de facto peace, is it not a
little absurd to persist in maintaining the fiction
of war?

PreservleQ the Trees

The American Forestry association has ad-
vsed the mayor of Lacede, Mo, to plant a
memorial grove of trees in honor of Gen. John
J. Pershing. and expresses the hope that every
school in the United States will also plant at
least one memorial tree in his honor. 1t would
be fine, beautiful thing to do. 1t is in line
with the movement to have memorial trees
bear their names so long as they weather the
storms. In many instances this would mean
several centuries. This memorial tree idea is
not recommended to be confined to the names
of the dead, but of the living as we'll 1t would
be fine thing if every man who wore the uni
form we're thus honored, fine not alone for the
sentiment expressed, in the object lesson in
patriotism and love of liberty it would convey
to the growing generation and other genera
tons to follow. but fine also in the influence
it would have in arresting the needless destruc-
ton Of our forests. When we give to trees
such intimate and loving associations, when
we endow them with personality: we shall think
more seriously and sensbly of all trees and
oppose their needless destruction.
The forests everywhere are being cut down
with a wasteful hand. The timber cutters take
just what they want from the tree as usual
practice, and let the remainder rot where it
lies Right here in Missouri multitudes of trees
are being cut down for railroad ties. Often
single tie is taken out of an oak tree it has
taken 20 years to grow, the actual value OF
which to the cutter is about 10 cents. All the
rest of the price the railroads finally pay for
the tie is for labor and hauling. Destroying an
oak tree 20 years old for 10 cents seems the
height of wastefulness. This is but sample
of what is going on in our forests everywhere.
Reforestation, the planting and culture of
trees to take the place of those cut down, is
practiced but little in this country. We face
serious forest problem, resulting from the
waste of the ak and the fire. We need in this
country greater realization of the value of
our forests, of the need of their preservation.
If this memorial idea serves to increase the
number of lovers of the trees, the movement
to preserve our forests for the future needs of
the country will make more rapid progress

Is IMPERIAL JQpdn Sincere?

Japans new system of dogma, manufactured
chiefly since 1868, has since controlled the press,
dominated education and made a camouAage
Of history, penalizing native scholars and critics
who have dared to speak their own mind con-
corning the new-fangled mikadoism. Worse
than all, this spirit and method have equipped
the hostile critics of Japan with new weapons.
This pseudo mikadoism of the militarists has
done more to raise doubt as to the real char.
acter of the progress of Japan, the sincerity Of
her purpose and the purity Of her political
ethics, than anything else. It has also raised
the serious question whether Dai Nippon, with
her barrier Of autocracy, intends 10 stand in the
pathway of the worlds democracy. While max
ing an alliance with Great Britain, the men be-
hind the throne were far from being Anglo
Saxon in spirit. 1t is notorious that Ito and the

BEHIND THE SCENES AT PARIS.

Some glimpscs of what went on back OF
the closed doors at Paris are now being given
the American people. A former secretary, who
was not in an entirely minor position, testihes
that there was very little contact between the
top of the delegation and the experts" He
further gives the startling disclosure that Sec
rotary Lansing said last May that if the senate
and the American people knew what the treaty
meant, it would be defeated"
This remark was made at the time when the
president was Withholding from the senate and
the public any information as to what the
treaty contained. The fact that definite knowl-
edge Of the documents contents finally reached
Americans through the Office of notable firm
of Wall street bankers has always been con-
sidered significant.
From the president we have had the in
formation that the Shantung provision was the
subject of earnest protest from General Bliss,
Secretary Lansing and Mr.. White. This was
not sufficient to deter him from submerging his
own doubts and msgiyings on the point in
difference to what he explained in Omaha were
the solemn engagements of England and
France with Japan. He knew his countrymen
would not assent to the injustice done China,
but he hoped in some way to put 1t over.

should be told where to sign and when to sign,

Pershipg's New Rank

With eulogy we'll deserved and fittingy
supplemented by the presidents written mes
sage, Secretary of War Baker presented Gen
erai Pershing on his landing a commission
carrying the highest rank known to the Ameri-
can army. European states confer higher mill
tary titles than that of general, but not one OF
Them carries honor more distinguished.
Although Washington was always general
by common consent, he was in fact com
mander-in-chief" by designation of the Con-
States created for him the rank of general in
i70o. but he died before the commission was
issued. Thus. while we have had many lieu
tenant generals, beginning with Scott Perish
ing is only the fourth to gain the full rank:
his predecessors being Grant, Sherman and
Sheridan.
OF the appropriateness of this designation in
every respect there can be no question. 1t has
been conferred. as always heretofore, in recog-
milton of victorious achievements in war. With
out disparaging any other soldier of the repub-
lie. it is to be said in truth of Pershing that he
has commanded mightier armies than any
other American, and that the operations sue
cessfully conducted by him thousands of miles
away have been on scale so stupendous that
q few years ago they could hardly have been
imagined.
In his acknowledgment of the approval of
his fellow countrymen as thus and otherwise
expressed, General Pershing. with characteris-
tic self-effacement, accepts his honors as a
tribute to the American expeditonary forces
that he led to triumph, and that is another rea-
son why he is the hero of the hour.-New
