Home Rule Charter the Remedy.

The mayor, city commissioners and others
interested see in the failure of the charter
amendments to go through the legislature real
disaster This can easily be changed into a gain
for the community if they will only accept the
lesson and get busy on the right track. When
the home rule charter was hung up by the court
last fall it was allowed to rest because the
way through the legislature appeared the easier
of the two. Now that that route has been closed,
recourse should be had to the reasonable plan
of going to the people Objection is made that
the draft for charter submitted by the commit
tee last fall does not contain the requisite
provisions for the several bond issues in which
the mayor and other commissioners are inter
ested. This was known at the time, the course
being accepted as an expedent way of securing
the great boon of self-government for Omaha,
leaving amendments to the future. Special cleo
tons cost money, but it may be doubted if the
city will not lose more by delay at this time
than the expense of voting on charter.

May Save League Covenant

We hear from Paris that the suggestions
offered by Mr. Elihu Root are likely to be &C
cepted.
What would probably be the action of the
United States senate if they were not accepted?
And what a pity that the United States was
not represented in the peace conference by the
kind of legal ability and acquaintance with inter
national affairs and the experience in diplomacy
which produced this analysis Of the league cove
nant, coming from the pen of the man who has
been described by Colonel Roosevelt as having
the best brains in America!
More than ever in view Of his keen criticism
of the original draft, does it appear that the
president should have availed himself of the
best counsel and assistance to be had in the
tremendous task which he undertook. He is
now forced to confess that the document which
he defended, even to the point of exact state
ment, is full of serious defects, and to accept
amendments after he had resented with much
show of feeling the slightest criticism.
Mr.. Root has rendered a great service to his
country and to the world. If the league of
nations, emanating from the Paris conference
comes in acceptable form to the senate of the
United States, it will be due to the revisory
work of this eminent ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

NEW LEAGUE OF NATIONS PLAN.

Revision of the constitution Of the proposed
League of Nations has removed the more SER
ious Of the objections raised by its critics, and
it now appears in a form far more acceptable
to Americans. Under the new provisions, our
Monroe Doctrine is preserved intact, guaran-
teeing to the New World the immunity it has
enjoyed for almost century from European
aggression. Another vital improvement relates
to tie management Of former German colonial
possessions and backward nations. These are
to be controlled in the interest of humanity and
civilization by manufactures of nations willing
to assume the responsibility. If the United
States is disinclined to take on any part of this
JOB, it may withhold its participation and not
lose any of its rights in connection with the
league.
Another point specifically cleared up re-
lates to the voting power Of the nations in the
council and assembly; no nation is to have more
than one vote in either body. Nor are matters
falling solely within the domestic jurisdiction
OF any nation to be passed upon by the coun-
Gil. These provisions, together with those regu-
lating armament and requiring the submission
of all international disputes to arbitration, seem
to provide means whereby war can be averted.
Reciprocal obligations for action against offend
ing nations give the league the aspect of de-
fensive alliance of such quality as ought to
sustain peace for generations
Such notifications and amendments as have
been brought about show the value and the con-
structve quality Of the criticism offered when
the first draft was submitted. 1t is possible that
careful study may develop other points on which
Improvement is possible. The French are re-
ported to be reserving certain amendments with
relation to armament, the nature of which is
not exactly disclosed. Conceding that the docu-
ment is not yet perfect, it has been so much
bettered by the redrafting commission that it
is far more acceptable from the viewpoint of
America than it was in February when the
"swsllow-it-whole" brigade swung into action.

LEST We Forget

Council Bluffs, April 1Q.-To the
Editor Of The Bee: While the war
was goin on, the mind of the public
was riveted upon the soldiers. The
soldier was looked upon as a pro-
tector and hero, while the country
was in danger. Immediately, upon
the ending Of the war, the people
transferred their attention to bust
ness and pleasure.
The process of rehabilitation is
slow at the best and there are about
100000 boys In the army yet. A
person enjoying the comforts of
home. and the freedom of q civilian,
cannot realize what the American
heroes have gone through. It is the
duty of the people of the United
States to maintain their interest in
the soldiers yet in the army.
The people should continue to
think of the soldiers, pray for them,
write to them, plan for them and
greet them with smiles and words
of appreciation. Don't forget that
smiles often go farther than dollars.
1t is a regrettable fact that many
girls and wives, because of the lures
of pleasure, violated their trusts
with the soldiers defending them.
There were so-called men that took
advantage of the absence Of the
soldier boys.
Let us not forget the heroes that
gave their last measure of devotion
that the ideals and ideas of the land
of the Stars and Stripes should
prevail.
If the foregoing suggestions are
followed the period of demobiliza-
ton shall not become a period of
decentralization. w. A. ROSICKY,
A Discharged Soldier

Ware the Fake &c. A. r. "

1t is just as obvious that there will be a
number of i'll advised and misleading attempts
to form veterans organizations as it is obvious
and important that one strong, representative
and energetic fraternity of soldiers will center
the Americanism of those who served in this
war.
There can be only one Grand Army of the
Republic All the other veteran corps growing
out of the civil war are incidental, however i'm
portant they may be. The G. A. R. has dis
tinct meaning. Likewise the association grow
ing out of the Spanish-American war;
There can be only one great organization
developed by the veterans of this war. OF
course, there will be smaller and Insignificant
ones One of these already has started in spite
Of the greater and broader American legion.
Ernest Lundeen, former congressman from
Minnesota, is instrumental in forming a vet
GRAMS organization which is to be known as the
Private Soldiers and Sailors legion. 1t does
not come into being under tn: best auspices:
Certainly it runs counter to the purposes of
the greater and nobler American legion, which
aspires to place alongside the G. A. R.
Soldiers and sailors Of this war should not be
led into organizations that confound the pur-
poses of the American legion. They should
realize that their best interests can best be
served by the greatest organization.
Men who are serving to detract from the
labors of the big, central organization are not
serving the veterans, but themselves. Lundeen
had nothing to do with the war as combatant
He aspires ignobly to a place among vet
Grams. He should reserve his abilities for other
fields, and not distract the attention of those
who fought from the organization of legion
that is to embrace every man who wore khaki

Republican Congress and Labor.

Talk of charging the republican steering
committee in the next house brings up the
attitude Of the party towards labor. A survey
of the present composition of the committee
shows it to be made up of employers. There
fore it is proposed that it be enlarged to include
a representative of labor. This is entirely rea-
sonable, but it should be done on a basis of
justice, and not because the ma Jority party in
the coming congress is unsympathetic as to the
publican party has been the consistent advocate
of the interests of the workingman, and its
policy one of liberal care for the tong masses.
The principle of protection has been staunchly
adhered to because it meant better pay and
higher standard of living in American homes.
The first eight-hour law enacted for govern
ment work was passed by a republican con-
gress; the Department of Labor was added to
the presidents cabinet by republican con-
gress; the workmens compensation law was
given to the country by republicans; it was re-
publican votes that passed the child labor law
against the opposition of democratic reaction
aries. The list could be greatly prolonged, but
these examples will suffice to support the as
sertion that the cause of labor is safe in the
care of the republican party. 1t does not keep
the word of promise to the ear and break it to
the hope" but by real constructive work sets
forward steadily the cause of all humanity. Let
the steering committee be enlarged, if deemed
expedent but labor has cause to dread the
return of the republican party to power.

COOPERATIVE Banking for the Farmer.

A bill has just been passed by the house CIV
ing the farmers of Nebraska the right to es-
tablish cooperative banking institutions. Should
the measure become law the state will have
embarked on new route in business. Not that
cooperation is a novelty, or that its practice
has been without success, for the contrary is
true. In the Nebraska building and loan law,
for example, we have model of such excellence
as to win merited tribute from expert investi-
gators But the building and loan societies are
most carefully hedged about by restrictive
measures and regulated in all their activities, to
the end that safety be assured as nearly as pos
sible complete. Whether the cooperative bank
ing law provides these safeguards is not clear.
Banks are successful only when capital is
actively and prohtably employed. Loaning of de-
positors' money to borrowing customers is not
the whole of the service rendered by the bank. An
enormous volume of business is daily carried on
through the agency of the banks which has no
relation to the acceptance of deposits or the
making of loans. 1t is on the character of this
service that the bank eventually stands or falls.
Deposits attracted by high rate of interest
bring to the bank the necessity of earning
greater revenue or paying smaller profit. This
simple rule of business will apply to co-opera-
tive institutions with all its force.
If the cooperative bank is managed with the
care and prudence ordinarily given to individual
adventures in this line it will succeed, but its
projectors have no right to expect that by any
magic or other virtue residing in the privilege
OF Cooperation" they will be able to make two
dollars sprout where only one grew before.
