Deport the Alien Enemies

1t is good news that congress is preparing
to take up, and apparently will speedily pass,
a bill providing for the deportation of more
than 500 dangerous alien enemies now confined
in the internment camps in this country. The
harmless aliens-sailors from the German ships.
refugees from the far east, and SO on-have
long since been sent back to Germany, and
there may be those who will think it is not
wholly consistent to do the same with men
whose activities before and during our declara-
ton of war were directly harmful to the in
terests of the United States. But there is a
difference.
The aliens already returned to Germany
were for the most part persons who wanted
to go back; the aliens to be deported under the
proposed law are Germans who lived here,
often for many years, and who repaid the OPP
portunities offered by America with plots and
propaganda designed to break the unity OF the
American people and make our war efforts use
less. Some Germans of this class, no longer re-
garded as dangerous, have already been re-
leased and are going about among their old
associates. 1t was said few months ago that
something more than a thousand of the Ger
mans interned here were regarded as danger
Gus; if only half that number are included in
the bill now before congress, it is evident that
our authorities have not erred on the side OF
strctness. These persons ought to be sent back
to Germany, and never allowed to land here
again. They came among us and were received
as friends, and they behaved as enemies.-New
York Times.

Budget for the Federal Government.

A committee has been named in the house.
to report not later than March l., on legislation
looking to the adoption of budget system for
the federal government This is one of the
most important of all reconstruction steps. Not
that it is new, for the point has been raised
again and again, always to be met by the house
clinging to its constitutional prerogative re-
gardng appropriations and the increasing
abuses that have grown up under it. When
the Sixty-fourth congress adjourned, the demo-
Gratis made pledge that in the Sxty-ffth all
appropriations would go through single COM
mittee that there might be no Implications
overlaps or similar wastes of money This
promise, like great many others made by the
democrats, was not carried out in letter or
spirit, with the result that riot of extrava-
gance prevailed. How extensive this was is
shown by the fact that the present house. in
the hasty revision of the appropriations passed
by the democrats for the current fiscal year,
was able to save billion and half without in
any way hampering the administration of the
government. In 1910 it was estimated that
$300,000000 year could be saved by such
system. If that was true then, it is reasonable
to almost double the estimate now. Whatever
saving may be accomplished by the plan will be
for the good of the people, and so the an
nouncement from Washington will be most
welcome to taxpayers.

PROFITEERING.

Talk about profteering is rife and unques-
tionably in many cases with good foundation
of fact. No one has any sympathy for the will
full and criminal prohteer and everyone would
like to see him get his just deserts.
But talk about instituting legislative inves-
legations and passing new laws to put a stop
to prohteering strikes US as just beating about
in the air. Our statute books here in Ne
braska are right now full OF laws defining GRIM
inal conspiracies and prescribing penalties for
them. There are laws against cornering the
markets and price boosting and extortion and
cheating, which, if enforced, would put stop
to the great mass of the complaints of profteer
ing. We also have laws which make it the
duty of certain officials to enforce the criminal
statutes. We have an army Of regularly con-
stituted prosecuting officers and if they are
inadequate to the task, we can have a special
grand jury in every county in the state. If a
grand jury cannot get at the facts how can
any other set Of investigators expect to do any
better.
If there is call to go after the pro6teers,
let the work start without waiting for more
laws, and let it proceed without dust raising
or camouhage.

Superheated Partisanship Rebuked.

The Manufacturers Record of Baltimore
performs a really timely service for its readers
in the south by reminding them that the oppo-
sition to the presidents plans does not flow
from mere partsanshp. Referring to and COM
menting upon letter from Hon. John B. Knox
of Alabama, zone of the foremost lawyers Of
the south and man of high character" who is
against the Leagne of Nations plan, the Record
says:
When southern papers denounce all who
opposed the League of Nations as doing so
from partisan motives; when they refer to
these people, as the Atlanta Constitution did,
as political buzzards." and as one of the
leading religious papers of the south last
week spoke of senators who were opposing
the League of Nations as doing so from "the
rankest partsanship, utterly blind and fatu-
Gus" seeking only to embarrass the president
at whatever cost to the country or to the
world, they would have difficulty in classify
ing such men as Mr.. Knox, whose democracy
and integrity can not be questioned, and
who oppo6ed the League of Nations. 1t is
lamenabe fact that even some of the
religious papers, carried away by bitter par
tlsanship themselves are denouncng those
in congress who oppose the league as though
they were without any sense of honor or
integrity or moral responsibility to the ma
ton and to the world. People who take this
position merely show that they have lost the
sense of Christian charity and fairness They
are denouncng those whose honor and in
tegrity is certainly equal to theirs and they
find in abuse of their opponents the only ar
gument they can advance for their position.
And here is a short sermon that may be ap-
piled in Nebraska as we'll as in the south The
efforts of the democrats to make partisan
question out of this tremendous issue, and
their denunciation and vilifcation of all who
do not agree with the views of the president
deserve the dignifed rebuke that is thus adj
ministered

SUNDAY Ice for Omaha,

The Sunday ice situation is beginning to
percolate through the minds of the city coun-
ciln1en, and they apparently coming to
realize the hardship that is enforced on the
citizens by the existing ordinance. The fact
that on last Sunday hospital, hotel and
many private houses were without ice because
of the foolish arrangement that exists show
how much suffering is caused by stopping this
great service for one day week. 1t should be
continuous, just as are the other activities of
city life on which the comfort and health of
the community depends. Common sense as
we'll as public decency demands it. Only slight
readjustment of working forces will be needed
to put each ice handling concern in the city
in position to make Sunday deliveries. Until
this is done, some part of Omaha's people will
suffer for want of ice. just as has been the case
since the ordinance was put on the book and
its enforcement ordered.

Food Prices Too High

Herman H. Halliday, state commissioner
of animal industry, says the farmers of Michi-
gan are not cultivating their farms to full ca
pacity. He says the reason is because the farm
ers cannot get labor enough. Other experts in
the state agree with Mr.. Halliday. There is an
economic maladjustment, they say, between
farm and factory production. BY payment of
big wages the factory keeps labor from the
farm, and hence food prices become so high
priced that the big wages mean little.
This situation has existed to some extent
for years. Many people have pointed out that
the season when the farmer needs labor is the
slack time in factory work. when inventory and
overhauling decrease the need for factory labor.
If the factory labor could be got to the farms
when the farm needs them, and in quantities the
farm needs, the farm-labor question would be
solved. State and nation have made attempts
to do this, individuals, inspired by war pa
triotism, helped. But it should be concerted
state planned and controlled movement to make
it fully effective. The question is of such mo-
ment that immediate and thorough examination
ending in constructive action should be made.
But while experts insist that purely innocent
economic causes are accountable for much of
the high cost of food, they insist that the public
pays far too high price for its food, even
granting that farm production is short of what
it might be. Their argument that the govern
ment should have strict supervision over the
processes of distribution, so that the public
may know where the muleting takes place, is
sound In that way relief from present high
prices would be gained.-Detrot News

The council Of the league of ma
tons is an autocracy like the holy

or any other council or legislative
body to hold it In check. 1t is the
sole judge of it's own powers. It is
union of the executive, legislative
and judiciary merged into one body.
If its decision, however erroneous,
is disregarded, an international boy
colt, embargo or taboo will be fol-
lowed by an international war, in
which it is the duty of every MEM
Der state to support the interna-

strength. There is no more reason

Eighty-Eight's War Record.

G. D. H.-Your young friend may
be telling the exact truth, and may
be exercising the soldiers privilege
Of eXaggeration. However, the Off
cial records show that the SSth,
which was about the very last di-
vision to be called into the Ar
come Meuse battle, was one day in
the quiet sector. and II days in the
active zone, a total of IS days on
the battle front. Its battle losses
are recorded as 81 killed and So
wounded. The division also is cred
tied with having taken three Ger
man prisoners. 1t is not the fault
of the division that the armistice
was signed just as it was getting
into real action. The men who COM
posed 1t were of the same quality
a sthose who bore the brunt Of the
fighting, their share would have
come little later had the war con-
tinued, and they are therefore en-
titled to all credit for their part in
the war. Many men who did not
get to France at all, and many 9TH
ers who did not see the front were
as brave and as eager a sthose who
went over the top.

some soul in his life. If he were the head Of
a big store we would see that the clerks were
pleasant and polite or they would go. Insist
ing upon this requirement would be favor

should set the example. He should be as
courteous and pleasant as he expects his clerks
to be. He should not go about with grouchy
face, looking as if he thought his employees
were poor white trash, doing the worst they
could. A great store is an educational estab-

Reservations viii Not Help.


New York City, July 29.-To the
Editor of The Bee: No reservation
by the United States senate either of
the Monroe doctrine or of the United
States reserved right to withdraw
from the league of nations would be-
effective unless at the time such
reservation were attempted to be
exercised the council of the league
then approved of it's exercise.
Such reservation might be as

Judge Owls Fun.
Nu 90! Hoo! Get me out of here
IL before l grow through the
roof" hooted Judge Owl from the
hothousS.
Billy and Peggy were scared when
they saw how big he had become.
They had no idea that he would
grow so fast. And he was still
growing. His head rose against the
glass roof, and the roof began to
creak and crack. If Judge Owl
swelled up any more 1t was bound
to go smash.
stop him growing, Billy, or he
will break all Gardner Pills glass"
shrieked Peggy But Billy didn't
know how to stop Judge Owl unless
he put weight on his head. and it
would have to be ton weight to do
any good.
In the dollhouse was a chain and
windlass and Billy saw that by wind
ing up the chain he could raise the
glass roof. Perhaps If he could let
Judge Owl out that might stop his
growing Acting on this idea, Billy
began to work at the windlass and
in jiffy he lifted the sash off Judge
owls head.
"Now fly out" cried Peggy to the
Judge.
"Hco, Hoo! How can l fly while
my feet are still planted?" screeched
the Judge, tapping and struggling
until the dollhouse was a smother Of
feathers.
Billy seized a shovel and Peggy
seized spade. Diving under the mass
of feathers they began to dig. 1t was
a big job because Judge Owls claws
had grown as fast as his body,
spreading out in the ground like the
roots of tree.
