Why Liberty Bonds are SkonQ

There is no mystery about the recent
strength of the market for Liberty bonds in the
light OF treasury statement that no less than
Sl7.537000 had been retired and cancelled up
to August 81. This is very substantial frac-
ton Of the total amount of $4,000 100000 in
these bonds which were originally issued and
represents measure of debt liquidation hardly
to be paralleled in war finance within year Of
the wars end
Only trife over $3400OO00 of these can
celled bonds was paid off by allies that had
borrowed the money. The rest came from
government purchases in the open market un-
der the provisions of the third Liberty bond
act and from payments of inheritance and estate
taxes with bonds, as authorized by the same
act
The price tendency in this market is thus
likely to continue generally upward. The
treasury is evidently working into an easier
position as the war recedes. despite the croak-
ings in congress to the contrary. Purchases
on regular sinking fund account must in time
cumulatively strengthen the demand In an
investment world still much troubled by the
uncertainties and reconstructions springing
from the anarchy of war. these bonds are losing
nothing in the attractveness of safety. None
of the Liberty issues will long remain below
par as things are now going.-New York

mob is strange and sinister thing. Its
members may be ordinarily decent citizens. But
under the influence of the mob spirit they lose
all self-control and the basest passions get the
upper hand So different is the conduct of the
crowd from the normal conduct of the indi-
vduals composing it that it has been made the
subject of numerous studies by psychologists.
The United States has had several object
lessons recently in mob behavior. The rioting
in Washington Chicago and Boston, and now
this latest outbreak in Omaha, are exceedingly

In the long run education and discipline
must be the correctives. But in the meantime
the country must look to its constituted au-
thorities to maintain order with firm hand.
The mob spirit must be curbed before it sweeps

California and the Medicine Men.

At the New York conference of "lady docs"
one of them from California held up action on
compulsory health insurance by peculiar plea
She cited the predicament in which medicine
men find themselves in the Golden state There
the doctors, big pill and little pill alike, are
fighting for their lives. Twenty-six known and
classified varieties Of organized societies for
combating medical practitioners exist, and
schools are run there to teach the young folks
how to avoid the doctor and to have nothing to
do with him."
Just what this has to do with the plan of
compelling people to make provision against
illness or accident is not clear. If Cafornians
want to depend upon the glorious climate" for
health and possible longevity, the rest of the
country should not be exposed to danger that

Plain Citizens.

1t was a very wonderful work
Herbert C. Hoover accomplished in
Belgium, in France, in Italy, in Ser
via, in the neutral states on the
verge of being forced into the war
to live, but especially in our own
country. in creating, organizing and
controlling a universal sentiment OF
self-sacrifice and labor in the saw
ing and production Of food. But
there is no military glory attached
to it, nor waving flags, nor fanfare
Of trumpets. Like modest Ameri-
can citizen, he returns unostenta-
tiously to his home at the end of his
labors, to pass quietly into the OBJ

Germany and Russia.

Arguing for immediate and unmodifed ac-
ceptance of the Versailles treaty, David r.
Francis asserts that if Germany is permitted to
penetrate Russia in an economic way, the end
will be that the Teutonic power will be greater
than ever. AS ambassador to Russia at the
time of that nations dissolution Mr. Francis
ought to be we'll acquainted with the situation
in detail He should know the temper and dis
position of the Russian people, both before and
after the overthrow of the empire. His asser-
tons, therefore, have the weight of authority
AS reason for the adoption of the treaty and
its contents, however, Mr. Francis statements
are not convincing
From the very beginning it has been ap-
parent that Germany's influence in Russia
would exceed that of any or all of the Allies.
Even had the car remained at the head of his
government, it is questionable if the hold Ber
lin had on Russian affairs would have been
much weakened. When the time comes to re-
organize Russia, German advice probably will
be heard more readily than any from another
These things have been understood and ac-
cepted by the Allies
Germany's industrial and commercial future
is inseparable from Russia. An alliance be-
tween the two is almost inevitable now How
far this will involve the other countries of
central Europe may be surmised by any at all
familiar with their politics and interests. The
Bee long ago pointed out the possibility of this
second league Of nations, and nothing that has
transpired of late tends to change the situation
Just how the formation Of the coalition pro-
posed by Versailles will obvate the tendency
to closer relations between the Germans
and whatever government may finally emerge
in Russia is not clear. If the League Of Ma
tons is called into being, it must be for more
weghty and convincing reason than that it will
keep Germany from dominating in Russia and
central Europe

GETTING BACK TO BUSINESS.

With the help of the military under direction
of General Wood Omaha has assumed within
few days a condition of order that could
hardly be improved on. Acting on the sound
advice of the general causes for possible fric-
ton are being removed, and with the co-opera-
ton of thoughtful citizens, now keenly aroused,
public affairs are being subjected to scrutiny to
locate the weak spots and apply needed
remedies.
1t is not possible to secure ourselves against
an aftermath of lawless outbreaks, unless each
individual citizen contributes fully. to the end.
That there is disposition to do this is the
most encouraging outward sign to be noted.
Resumption of the normal life of the city has
proceeded rapidly and visitors are impressed
with the fact that the recovery has been
achieved with least inconvenience or disloca-
ton of regular activities. Gradual removal of
the military forces will soon be possible, and
within short time Omaha will be self-de-
pendent.
Counselled by General Wood, city COM
mission is moving to Strengthening police force
and to provide more modern equipment and
instruction in its use. AS preliminary step in
the right direction this will be approved by all
But it is automatic that the best armed and
drilled police force, no matter how numerous,
is no better than its leadership. Unless com
petently directed, it will be of little real serv-
ice. This aspect of the problem we trust is
realized by the responsible authorities. AS
they meet the expectations OF the people in
this respect, will the structure of our city's
government be built again upon firm founda-
tons and the community be re-established i'll

Mob Rule-Incipient Anarchy.

Akron. Ia, Sept. 29.--To the Edi-
tor of The Bee: 1t is lamentable
that mob action is resorted to as
redress in civilized country Two
wrongs can never make right,
hence the fruitage of Sundays
lynching must return upon the
heads Of those who participated
therein. Vengeance is mine," saith
the Lord. Perhaps if all the condi-
lions which led up to crime were
known such hot wrath would cool
off before applying the torch. For
instance, our parents left us legacy
of sin to combat and have some
responsibility in the matter Like
wise, evil agents are ever present to
sway the will in favor of wrong
doing, hence one of balanced mind
would not run riot before this
largeness Of heart was invoked. If
our vision is clear it would not sur
prise us to witness the rising of the
black man to offset these injus-
tees Even this will only work
more lawlessness. How much bet
ter to allow the courts to render an
unbiased judgment. We know many

formed the eye and ear knows
how to weigh in the scale of exact

Judiciary to summons the case. The

dar of the Almighty is hypocrisy
and this livery is worn by some very
fine appearing men and women.

CHAPTER Nv.
What the Monkey Did.

THE black robber lay quietly In
L his roost while Billy>and Rollo,
climbed the tree. In fact he was
too quiet to suit Billy, who thought
he might be up to some trick. And
the nearer Billy got to the roost, the
more suspicious he became.
Rollo, the monkey, was eager for
revenge. His nose was still sore
from the nipping given 1t when he
had climbed the tree before, and
now that the black ropber was fast
in trap Rollo meant to get even
with him. So the monkey was rae
ing on ahead Of Billy, when sudden
ly Billy caught him by the tall
Wait" whispered Billy. Maybe
the black robber is trying to fool us.
He may grab your nose again. "
Rollo stopped short at that. He
didn't want that precious nose
nipped a second time.
Billy quickly thought of a way to
see if the black robber was plan
ming a surprise for them. He took
off his cap and put 1t on the end of
a broken branch. Then he hoisted
the cap slowly over the edge of the
nest, just as If it were on his own
head.
Snap! sharp, powerful beak
suddenly snatched fiercely at the
cap. If Billys head had been in

Funds for Repairing the Court House.

No special session of the legislature will be
needed to provide money for repairing the
damage to the court house. The county com
missioners have ample power under the law,
according to the attorney general, to call the
election for voting the necessary bonds This
action will probably be taken without delay,
and it is possible that much of the work can be
done in anticipation of the bond issue. Here
is an emergency, in which action is required
not suffer further. How extensive the damage
to the building really is will be disclosed only
when it has Seen completely examined, but the
partial restoration now in process, and the re-
fitting of the Offices so that business can be
carried on should suffer no delay. Now is a
time when prompt action will count double in
the way of saving money for the taxpayers.

would have been held a prisoner as
the monkey had been. That was the
trick the black robber had been
planning. It showed that he was
DANGEROUS even though he was in a
trap.
All this time neither Billy. nor
Peggy, nor the monkey, had seen
the black robber. They didn't know
what he was with his birds beak
and his mans voice. So Billy. filled
with curiosity, climbed another tree
where he could look down into the
roost

that explained the mystery. He was

Rollo, and away he darted through
the trees, only to return a moment
later with an old cloth sack thrown
over his shoulder. He climbed
above the black robbers nest and
pulled something from the sack 1t
was a bad egg and the sack was
filled with them.
Smash! Bang! Plop! went the
eggs, the monkey hurting them one
after another right at the robber.
Help! Murder" shieked the
crow. and then, as the fire of eggs
got worse and worse, he screamed:
"I'll tell The girl has the pretty
glass Thief! Thief" -..
Peggy was indignant. you're a
fibber. l haven't the diamonds"
she shouted. But Billy and the
monkey, looking down, cried out in
surprise Look behind you" said
Billy. Peggy loked behind her and
spun around and around, but she
couldn't see anything, until Billy
and the monkey, sliding down the
tree, showed her the diamond
brooch caught, in the back of her
dress. The sly robber crow had
put it there. And thread tied to
the brooch showed how it had van
ished from the monkeys nest. The
robber had snatched it away by the
string. t
"Haw! Haw." laughed the rob-
ber's voice, and away he sailed like
a black streak. He had cut Bills
fishline in two with his beak and
escaped.

AS for Rollo, the wandering mon
