When an impresSiOnable and eXclleu

end Of the second act Of a three-act

he can pick the murderer, it Is safe TO

Censorship Of Hospitality

When the Good Book enjoned, "Be not for
getful to entertain strangers, for thereby some
have entertained angels unawares," it failed to
take account of the kind of legislation that Eng
land is experiencing at the hands of its ministry
of food. That body seems to have the full
powers that the Hoover food administration
has given over here in the United States. The
dispatch states that householders in the United
Kingdom are barred from entertaining their
mothers-in-law or other guests longer than four
weeks by an order from the ministry of food.
This edict, which is part of the food conserva-
ton program, limits the stay Of visitor in
private house to one month.
In the old Anglo-Saxon law a stranger COM
ing to a domcile might receive hospitality for
a definite period, possibly two weeks, and then
he would have to go on his way. England has
a habit of barking back to precedent; and it
seems to be doing so in this case. But the
presence of the mother-in-law by direct men-
ton in the law suggests that in the days of
good Queen Victoria such animadiversions
could not have been perpetrated. The rancor
of the entire world will be aroused over this
fresh injection of the favorite butt of the joke
ster into the arena of aimless POPULARITY in a
fresh guse For, after ALL the mother-in-law
is very useful person to have about the house
to do the cooking, the knitting, the darning and
to mind the baby and her stay should not be
limited to four weeks. AS for eating, she sell
dom makes drain upon the pocketbook be-
yond that which she dispenses from her lar
gesse. But the evils done and all must rue
it, and, as the poet adds, the theme is painful,
so why pursue it?-Baltimore American.

The Oklahoma Election

An election was held Saturday to fill va
cancy in the house of representatives in the
Fifth district of Oklahoma. At the last regu-
lar election democrat was elected; his death
caused the vacancy.
There were two candidates in the election
held Saturday, republican and democrat.
The republican in his campaign took open
grounds in opposition to the ratifcatio of the
proposed league of nations as written and signed
by President Wilson. The democratic candi-
date took the opposite. The campaign was
conducted along that line.
The result: The republican was elected by
a decisive majority. The treaty man. for the
league of nations without change, was showed
under. 1t will be remembered that Senator
Reed. when about to make a speech in an
Oklahoma town. was howled down and not per-
mtted to speak by hoodlum mob.
President Wilson once said that an over
whelming majority of the American people
were for the ratification of the treaty in the
exact form he presented it to the senate. Every
now and then something has occurred that
must have raised doubt in the presidents
mind as to whether he might not have been
mistaken in his assumption of the overwhelm-
ing majority But, like the fellow who swore
the horse was 10 feet high, he may stick to his
Overwhelming majority" speech-Knoxville

THE GRAND JURY's REPORT.

In the report of the special grand iurv
which was called to make inquiry into the
causes of the recent riot and lynchng in
Omaha, and to fix responsibility for the out
break, just returned to the court after a SEES
sion of six weeks, will be found some inter
esting information.
1--WE find the rank and file of the police de-
partment made up of capable, brave men. will
ing to follow leader anywhere says the
grand jury, and with this statement The Bee
heartily concurs. 1t was not the men, but the
leadership that was lacking. On this point,
the report goes on to say "the absence of the
chief of police and the police commissioner at
the critical ard crucial period between $3.50 and
6 o'clock was unfortunate and we feel they
should have been on the job before s o'clock.
1t was apparent that there was lack of CO.
ordination and leadership among the heads Of
the police force"
This supports all The Bee has ever
charged, that the trouble with the Omaha po-
lice force is that it lacked competent direction.
The report of the grand jury, made after long
and careful Inquiry drives home the point with
irresistible force. Further criticism in pres
ence of such report is unnecessary.

Disposing of "Six to One"

BY vote of So to g. more than two-thirds
the senate adopted reservation offered by
Senator Lenroot intended to effectually do
away with the 6-to-l preponderance of the
British vote in the council and assembly Of the
League of Nations. The text of the Lenroot
reservation reads thus:
The United States assumes no obligation
to be bound by any election, decision, report
or finding of the council or assembly in which
any member of the league and its self-gov-
erning dominions, colonies or parts of EN-
pre in the aggregate have cast more than
one vote, and assumes no obligation to be
bound by any decision, report or finding of
the council or assembly arising out Of any
dispute between The United States and any
member of the league if such member or any
self-governing dominion, colony, empire or
part of empire united with it politically has
voted.
This reservation will not do away with the
separate representation of the self-governing
dominions of the British empire, nor of the
presence Of India in either council or assembly,
but simply precudes either of them casting a
decisive vote on question in which one or all Of
them are involved with the United States as a
party on the other side. The reservation will
not be relshed by the administration group,
but the unusual support it got in the senate is
sign of the sentiment there, and which will
be understood throughout the land

"Pussyfoot" Johnson Scores

The London medical students who on
Thursday dragged "Pussyfoot" Johnson, the
temperance strategist, from a prohibition meet
ing and bore him through the streets on
plank, with opprobrious remarks and banners
of protest against all promoters of thirst, must
have wondered next day who had the better OF
it. We can tell them. 1t was not the students
Mr. Johnson seemed to take his medicine
calmly, and when seen in hospital afterward
said that except for an injury to one eve he had
thoroughly enjoyed it." Of course the hurt
eye was just nuisance; it was quite blinded
and the pain was intense" There had been
hemorrhage; the police surgeon warned him
that he might lose the eye, and specialist had
seen called-but Outside of that" said Mr.,
johnson 81 had quite good time" He even
lad a kindly word for the police, who are never
premature in interrupting 'medico rag they
worked it very smartly indeed" The phrase
does not quite sound American but in its ur-
bane and dsarming intent apparent through
the alien reporters idiom, the famous pussy
foot method shows clearly.
A man who can talk like that in hospital
after such an experience as Mr.. Johnsons is a
good sport; and in England a good sport with
ability. experience and powerful backing go far.
The British beerage may well feel nervous as it
contemplates the philosophical "Pussyfoot' on
his cheerful bed of pain. That kind Of opponent
is always to be saIed.-New York World.
