THE VOICE FROM CHICAGO.

The voice that is heard from Chicago is not
the cry of hunger nor the moan Of suffering;
it is the growl Of discomfort. Some Of it is
honest, some of it is vicious, and all Of it is
unwise. If the entire program advanced by the
so-called radicals at the present "labor" con-
ference were put into operation, it would not
smeiiorate the general condition of the workers
Even Utopia rests on work Effort to produce
must be put forth, for production is essential
to existence. an the sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread, until thou return unto the
ground" was not lightly spoken.
Assuming that ali demands made by the
visionary agitators were to be granted, would
the social inequalities now existing vanish?
Would we be relieved from poverty and distress
on the one hand and inordinate and arrogant
wealth on the other? One answer to this may
be discovered by comparing men who work
side by side, similarly employed at a uniform
scale of wages and purchasing for their needs
in the same market Often one of these will
be found walking to his place of employment
that he may save the car fare for some more
urgent need, while another will ride in ease.
One will own his home, comfortably furnished,
with even some luxuries of life, while the other
will pay tribute to the landlord as long as he
lives. Economic conditions are not responsible
for this, nor can the disparity be removed by
legislative enactment Thrift will have its re-
ward, and unthrift its penalty under any form
of government.
Russia is starving today because the peas
ants neglected to till the lands given them by
the bolsheviki, this failure induced by the
knowledge that they knew not who would reap
the harvest. Is the industrious American work
man ready to divide the fruit of his endeavor
that the indolent may live without exerton?
For some must work or all viii starve.

Presidents Fortunes

The estate of $5OO0OO left by Theodore
Roosevelt is very moderate fortune by New
York standards, but for president one Of
unusual size. 1t ranks Mr.. Roosevelt indeed as
probably the country's richest chief executive
since Washington, and the fact has suggestive
interest Many ruler of petty republic has
become a multi-millionaire, but no millionaire
has ever been president of the worlds greatest
and richest republic and this notwithstanding
the altered scale Of personal wealth under which
the comparative magnitude of an accumulation
of 100000 has decreased.
The Roosevelt fortune was different, more
over, in being mainly an inherited fortune. Its
possessor may have added to it in his lifetime.
but. as in the case of other presidents, most
of his personal earnings in period of 40 years
Of public life were absorbed in the support of
his family. No other president has ever en-
joyed such advantages of remunerative pub
licity as Mr.. Roosevelt and besides his salary
from official positions his income from his books
and from editorial work must have been large
Yet it is a fair inference that if these had been
the sole sources of his support, he would have
died a poor man, as Cleveland died, and also
most of their predecessors in the White House.
This has been the common financial fate of
presidents, and the example Of Mr. Roosevelt
probably merely proves the rule that the Office
of president is not economically productive in
any logical proportion to its exalted state and
onerous political qualihcations-New York

Nation Votes ItseN eprv.o

An epoch in human experience was marked
when Nebraska swung into line as the thirty
sixth state to ratify the constitution to the
federal amendment providing for prohibition,
thus completing the three-fourths majority
needed to make the amendment effective.
While the Koran forbids strong drink to the
faithful, it other nation has by law entirely ex-
cluded the use of alcoholic beverages There
fore the action of the United States is unique
in history. Naturally, the advocates of prohibit
ton are much elated at the victory, which has
come easier than many had looked for On
the other hand, those who are opposed to ultra
prohibition have not yet abandoned hope Of
stemming the tide. Various expedients for de-
laying the operation Of the amendment which
is to become effective in one year after its final
ratification, are being considered, and resort to
the courts or opposition in other ways may
postpone the ultimate disappearance Of the
liquor traffic. The event is Illuminating as to
the change that has taken place in the public
attitude within the last quarter of a century.
Whether the pendulum has swung to the full
length of its stroke and will now recede only
time can determine. To the coming days also
must be referred the query that is uppernost in
most minds, as to how the new rule will operate
when the time comes to enforce it.

She had grabbed Billy Belgium's

Peggy, startled, looked down, and
saw a pair of white lips peeking out
of the snow. She didn't know what
the warning meant, but like a good
soldier she instantly obeyed.
Look over there she cried,
pointing to a snow bank a short dis
lance away.

Peggy winked at him. Instantly
Billy understood that she had some
reason for giving up the search.
II guess you are right" he said.
The ST. Bernard quit digging and
now pointed with his paw to the
flask fastened to his collar.
"He wants us to open the flask
and take a drink" declared Billy.
II wonder what's In it," Billy
quickly loosed the flask from its
holder and unscrewed the top.

to her lips.
''Don't drink! Remember the

Thus came a muffied warning from

When Home Rule il Needed.

Complications arising from the pressure of
fremen and policemen upon the legislature for
wage increases must bring home forcibly again
the dilemma in which Omaha has put itself by
failing to qualify for home rule charter. Pay
of members of police and fire departments was
fixed by lawmakers years ago. in prewar times,
and they are unquestionably entitled to in
creased compensation, in some proportion to
what they would have if they were in private
employment. But to let them determine their
own earnings, or to have it done for US by a
iawmaking body at Lincoln, three-fourths of
whose members live on the farm or in small
towns, and who know nothing personally and
care less about the government of the states
metropolis, is unfair to all concerned
What the legislature should do in these
cases is to grant power to the municipal au-
thorities to fix the pay of policemen and fire.
men, the same as they have to fix the pay of
inspectors clerks, or draughtsmen, subject, of
course, to a tenure protected from arbitrary
treatment. The city commissioners could then
make necessary classifcations and service
gradations, ascertain what other cities of
omaha's size pay for similar service, and put
us and keep us on.a par with other progressive
cities

The Square Deal?

Camp Pike, Arkansas, Jan. liz
To the Editor of The Bee: We
Americans have been taught from
the very beginning of our history
that the Square Deal" is our birth
right. Today there are thousands
Of men in army camps over the
country who are being denied what
they feel to be their rights. These
men belong to what it pleases some
authorities to call the permanent
organization"
All that is asked in behalf OF
these men is that the thinking pub
lie be informed as to the conditions
now existing in parts of some
environments.
Thousands Of men have served
their government on this side of the
Atlantic without complaint, but Mt
the conclusion of hostilities they
demand to know why some organiza-
tions are Disseminated against that
others may be demobilized; and that
in individual cases discharges are
granted, while others with similar
reasons are held in the service.
Among the branches Of the service
now held in camp, and in which the
men feel that they are not being fair
" treated, Is the medical corps. The
men making up this organization
were not placed in noncombatant
service at their own request, bit
through the fortunes of the army
organization.
These men maintain that they
are entitled to discharge from the
army on the grounds Of business
professional or domestic need, on
the same grounds as the men in the
lines.
In these organizations are hum
dreds of married men whose tami-
lies need their presence at home;
business men whose life savings are
being endangered because they are
not personally at the head of thell
business; professional men whose
former employers clamor for their
release. Men whose earning ca
pacity in civil occupation amounts
to several thousand dollars yearly
and whose value to business and so
ciety during the period of recon-
stfuetiOn cannot be estimated; yet
these men must remain in the serv-
ice performing little or no service
to the government at a monthly pitt
lance OF $50 at the expense Of their
own success and the carrying on
efficiently of American business.
While this condition exists and
mems lives and talents are being
wasted, less efficient men are per-
forming their duties at home. is
this the new American version Of
the square Deal?"
Meanwhile army regulations are

Wig the Red Flag Is Taboo

A great many people are doing lot of loose
thinking in this matter of the very proper de-
cision OF most authorities the country over in
tabooing the red flag in parades and at meet
ings. One does not need. perhaps. to quote
the vigorous final words of Roosevelt to know
that the use Of the red flag is in no sense a
privileged use and that it is either an open and
insidious attack on government as we'll as on
nationality. Most Americans ought to know
that Haunting the red flag has nothing to do
with freedom of speech, since it has been the
American habit ever since revolutionary days
TO assemble peaeeably, under the national en-
blem, however, and publicly discuss all ques-
tons Of social and industrial grievance and gov
ornamental relationships and changes
This is a privilege not a right, which has
never been denied the people, even aliens among
as save in times of war But this very free
been. even to the extent Of radical differences
over existing Institutions, under the very pro-
lection OF the national emblem, and It needs no
emblem Of a denationalized cult to give such
discussions any wider latitude or any freer use
Of the unrestrained tongue The very ex-
tremists especially among the unnaturalized
aliens who sometimes seem to find It difficult
10 understand just why they can do pretty
much as they please in this haven OF refuge,
know al this. and their mischievous persistence
IN desiring to haunt an anti-national emblem is
not because they do not have free speech, but
because they visibly wish to express their de-
sire for their overthrow of all that the national
flag stands for BY insisting on the forbidden
banner
Those who would give them this last privi-
iege, therefore, in addition to a freedom of
speech which amounts 10 license, are not unlike
The fat-witted parents who let the pampered in
FAINT, that has gotten everything else, play with
the open razor. No; the fact is, denying pub
lie gatherings the use Of the red flag deprives
no one Of freedom Of speech or freedom of be-
lief. but does compel a recognition that in
America freedom Of speech and freedom Of be-
lief Of any one cannot be allowed to infringe
on the rights Of Others or on the collective
rights Of al to orderly government and stable
society.-P philadelphia Ledger.

In the Wake Of War

A suit OF clothes costs $400 in
Vienna. Still there are growls at a
$40 price tag hereabouts.
Janitors in Warsaw demand q

after 3 .. m. No wonder the war
sticks around in Warsaw.
The War department. has 2,7OO
tons Of poison gas on hand and no
use for t. Bolshevilr agitators with

1t is said Premier Clemenceau OF
France kissed "a stenographers the
day the armistice was signed. Some
OSCILLATION, that. But then, a man
of rs years rarely escapes training
in that line, which comes in handy
in an emergency.
Marshal Joffre says: at was the
weight Of America, her moral and
material forces thrown into the ball
anee at the crucial hour that turned
the scales and won the victory. And
the Americans showed themselves
true soldiers and a military power
that counted tremendously in the
decisive conflict" The statement
is both comprehensive and accurate,
and is brief enough to blazon on fu-
ture monuments.
Britain's venerable institution, the
coroner's jury, solemnly upholds
the ancient dictuHn: "Guilt is per-
sonal." Therefore different juries
have indicted the kaiser for bomb
ing raids on London. the officials re-
sponsible for the death Of Edith
Cavell and Captain Fryatt. More
recently a Fulham jury indicted
German prison officials for man
slaughter in causing the death of a
British prisoner OF war. The next
task is bringing the indicted to
trial.
Just before starting for home
from the American naval station
somewhere near Cork, ireland,
Pete Mcguire, sailor boy from San
Francisco, concluded 1t was his
patriotic duty to kiss the blarney
stone. Pete did the job, all right,
and some over. In fact, he lost his
balance and tumbled from the bat
tIemented wall to the ground 100
feet below. Pete didn't bother about
his minor bruises, but cordially
thanked the keeper for the trees
which broke the fall.

The white cross marks your resting place

Knowing the end was sure.

You said, We're out to win,"
As we looked TO the great new day ahead
That ushered freedom in.

And gone from the parapet,
