who saw that Billy was beginning
to get his dander up to the fighting
point. The grasshopper had nipped
him pretty hard and had been rude
instead of saying he was sorry.
There might have been a row if
the greedy hopper hadn't leaped
away to more inviting grass patch.
Billy leaped after him, but there
were so many hoppers that looked
just exactly alike that he couldn't
possibly find the one that had
nipped him.
Peggy followed quickly, and they
went hopping across the field amid
the hopper army. But they found
it wasn't nearly SO much fun hop
ping in the crowd as it had been
hopping all alone. There were so
many hoppers that they were jostled
even in the air. while when they
landed they were liable to have
some other hopper land kerpMnk
on top of them instead Of upon the
grass.
Here's a tree" said Billy. I'VE
will climb 1t and see where we are"
He leaped upon a tall trunk that
stood before them and Peggy fol-
lowed, To their astonishment they
found that the rec was shaking as

ticed where their jollyo long leaps
vert taking them. So they were much
surprised when an extra big hop
landed them right in the midst of
the grasshopper army.
Stay close to me-" whispered
Billy to Peggy. bravely setting him
self to defend her from the hoppers,
which now looked to them as
ferocious as big lions.
But the grasshoppers didn't at
tack them. Indeed they were so
greedily gnawing. gnawing, gnaw-
ing at all the grass and growing
things in sight that they didn't pay
the slightest attention to the chill
dren.
But there was a danger in this
greed of the grasshoppers. as Billy
quickly learned. He was just whis-
pering to Peggy that if they just
pretended to be grasshoppers they
would be perfectly safe, when he
felt a sharp nip on his leg. Jerk
ing around, he saw. that a hungry
hopper was gnawing at him.
"Hey, let go my Leg" he cried.
"Oh, crickety. l thought it was a
grass stem. Keep your leg out Of the
way If you don't want to get it
eaten up" rasped the grasshopper
impolitely, and he went on eating
more greedily than ever to make up
for lost time.

THE NEWEST MUSIC.

If music be the food of love. play on
But not with pokers, eowbells and ma
rooms
Let barrage hardened warriors dote upon
TIE devastating efforts of the coons.
Let others jazz. if such be their delight;
My soul the brown skinned Ministries
shall beguile
With strains that breathe the magic Of the
night
In some Pacific isle. =
Yea the soft Hawaiian melody
Floats dreamiy across the polished floor,
AS in some tropic Eden l shall see
The long. slow con,bers break upon the
shore.
And, mastered by such magic, shall frame
The vision of dusky maid and fair
Threading the dangerous dance with flow
ers of flame
Twined IN her unbobbed hair.
And when the craze Is over and TIE wave
Irks me by breaking on the coral strand,
Yet other stunts my restless soul shall
crave
And l may Jiggle to Balkan band.
With stolid Eskimos / yet may prance,
Or :oot 1t with the Patagonian deft,
Or even try British native dance
When nothing else Is left.

A HEART.TO.HEART TALK WITH
Mp ITRE

Mr.. IRE, you surely realize that by force of
circumstances wholly beyond your control you
are as acting mayor confronted with a heavy
responsibility and duty no one else can dis
charge.
1t is up to you more than anyone else, be-
cause you alone can be the determining factor
to renstate the city government of Omaha in
public esteem by promptly recognizing the
police department on a basis of efficiency and
intelligent direction instead of helpless ineff-
cheney and humiliating incompetency.
You have said you could not yourself take
the position of police commissioner by your
own vote, thus admitting that there should be
new man at the head of that department.. 1t
may be that you are reluctant to take the
position at ALL but some one of the seven
commissioners must perform that work, and it
is certain that no one of them could have made
a sorrier mess of it than the present incumbent
You are too intelligent Mr. IRE, to take
any stock in the silly pretense that such a
change might restore the gang" to control of
the police. You know that there is no danger
whatever of any reversion to gang" so long as
the council majority remains as it is. You
know also that the only possible way the con-
troll of the police could be lost by the reform
forces" is by impeachment or recall that would
change the composition of the present council
1t is your VOTE therefore, Mr. Ure, that is
the deciding one; if you refuse to take the
police department by your own vote, and re-
fuse to vote for another commissioner, you in
reality vote to retain the discredited failure and
to endorse a record of incompetency and in
efficiency to use no stronger terms
1t is hardly necessary to remind you, Mr..
IRE, that The Bee has supported you for
every Office to which you have been elected in
this community. 1t feels responsibility for
your being where you in this crisis. You
can not afford, for your own sake for the faith
full fulfllment of your official oath, for the good
of the city and the safety of life and property,
to block the complete reorganization of the po-
lice department, which the people are in
sstently demanding and expecting.

Riot Conditions in Omaha.

Several points in General Woods diagnosis
of the Omaha situation are worthy of more
careful scrutiny His assumption that the mob
was a manifestation of organized revolutionary
forces is not seen in surface Indications Ad-
hitting that some sort of method might have
been noted, once the demonstration was under
Roadway, it is also true that the element of
organization was wholly lacking at the outset
unless the band said to have started from a
school house on the south side of town may be
set down as such.
If the I. w. w. or any similar agency
directed the operations of the crowd, it is
hardly likely that its attention would have been
centered entirely on the court house and jails
Such a mob would have turned to lootng in
other parts of the city, which was wholly at its
mercy. Men bent on destruction could easily
have worked havoc far in excess of the damage
actually sustained. This significant fact must
be given full weight in reaching conclusion
Another and even more important fact is that
the mob showed definite object 1t was after
victim locked up in the county Jail. and did
not desist until it had secured him. When the
negro had been secured and put to death, the
mob dsbanded.
By no effort of the police force was order
restored and for several hours the city was at the
mercy of any evily-disposed persons who might
have turned their attention to plumber without
hndrance from authority Yet the only places
looted were stores from which only guns and
ammunition were taken. Arrests made since
the disturbance have been of men and boys who
are we'll known in the city, many of them long

General Woods warning against anarchy
may well be taken home by all, but those who
watched the gathering, progress and dispersal
of the mob that wrecked the court house and
lynched the negro were not impressed that it
was done by an organized" band of terrorists.

sped to carry the message.

leaping before the big grasshopper.

Of The Bee: This morning while
walking down Farnam street l met
an acquaintance, lady, on the side

ing. | paused for a few moments
conversation with this young lady.
During the conversation a soldier,
whom I decided was on guard duty,
detached himself from a soldier
group near by, came up and told me
I would have to step aside. Natur-
ally l did not question his order, but
merely stepped aside"
In thinking the matter over later
! wondered (as other men subjected
to an occurrence of that kind I'M
doubtedly would), If this young SOL
dier was merely placating a per-
sonal desire to be important-show-

"orders are orders"
Will The Bee satisfy my curiosity
on this point? A CITIZEN.
Answer-The soldier was acting

DENMARK HAS

Bolsheviki Fail to Capture

London, Oct. 2o.-(By the Associ-

hagen correspondent of the widely
read British weekly; Common Sense.
In Denmark the Syndicalists strive to
play much the same role as do the
l~eft-Socialists In Norway who are re-
ported to be supporters OF n
sian brand of Socialism.
THE tS~yndfcalists. however. make
no show in lthe Danish parliament"
says the correspondent. "Since the
riots In Copenhagen last November,
when the Grontorv district in the cen-
ter Of the city was wrecked and many
scores of civilians and policemen were
injured, there has been a tendency to
regard them as "a mere anarchist
rabble. But, as everywhere in Scan
dinavia, their power owe the wage
earners is greater than their voting
strength and they have succeeded,
usually against the Association of
Trades Unions, which, has a large
majority behind it, in bringing about
tprolonged strikes.
"The Danish S~yndicalists, by violent
attacks on the majority Socialist
party and denunciation Of its leaders.
