ARTICLE x. AVID WAR.
The Surrender Of the Power Of Con.
gress TO an Individual.

To THE EDITOR OF THIS SuN-Sir: The
President in discussing the objections
raised to Article X, by which the terri
torial integrity Of all the members Of the
League Of Nations is guaranteed. tells
us that the United States cannot be
forced into war against Its will by any
decision Of the council for the reason
that all decisions Of that body require
unanimous vote, and as the United
States n member of and has a voice
in the council the decision would have
to be acquiesced in by the United States
representative to have that effect.
Note first the fallacy Of this argument.
The voice would not be that Of the Con-
gress OF the United States In which In
lodged the sole powor 10 declare war. but
that Of an official not provided for in our
Constitution nor exercising constitu-
tional function. Indeed, It is not clear
whether his appointment would be sub
ject TO the advice and consent Of the
Senate under Article IL, section Of
the Constitution.
He would be free to act according to
his Individual Judgment as to what. in
Ills opinion, was to the best interest OF
humanity generally or of the people Of
the United States in particular. and such
action would create a moral obligation
on our part 10 accept its logical con-
clusion.
II the representative Of the United
States in the council wero to vote in any
instance with the other member nations
In favor Of a course Of action that would
result in war the hands of the Congress
would be forced. and while the Congress
technically would still have the sole
power, vested in 1t by the Constitution,
to declare war the alternative would be
to stand dishonored before the world.
Suppose In such case that the United
States representative in the council were
Woodrow Wilson and that while the mat
ter under consideration was being dis
cussed the members of Congress should
convey to him their views on the issue
which were at variance with his own,
and that he should see visions or be told
by voices In the air that he had a man
date from the people of the United
States to cast bis vote contrary to the
views so expressed, should not we be told
again that we would break the heart Of
the world II we then failed to see the
same visions or to be guided by the same
voices?
Assuming. as we must assume. that
Congress would act in accordance with
its moral obligations imposed upon It by
the council. should we not in effect be
giving to this one human being the au-
| thority and the power to commit the
United States TO a declaration of war,
and should ;wo then not be in fact con-
temptible cutters IL we failed to abide
by the action OF the council II we accept
the treaty with Article X. as It now

Unless the newspaper dispatches
from Omaha utterly mlsrepresent con-
dltlons there, the outburst on Sunday
had been preceded by miiior disorders
which disturbed the peace for period
of several days. These disorders
should have put the public officers on
their guard. They should have been
prepared to suppress the riot at its
beginning, to thwart the plans Of the
disorderly to gather In numbers, to
render impossible the creation Of a
situation in which the Mayor felt 1t
necessary to imperil his life by orator
ical appeals to a mob to behave. The
human units composing a mob may be
amenable to reason as individuals,
but that mob itself, intoxicated with
rage, will heed nothing except force.
We have not the Nebraska statutes
at hand, but in all the States the po-
lice obligation and duty with regard
to the public peace are about the same.
They are succinctly set forth in the
charter of New York city:
'It IL hereby made the duty Of the
Police Department and the police
force, at all times Of day and night.
and the members Of such force are
hereby thereunto empowered. to es-
pecially preserve the public peace,
prevent crime, detect and arrest Of
tenders. suppress riots, mobs and In
surrectlons, dispense unlawful or
dangerous assemblages. and assem-
blages which obstruct the free pass
age of public streets, sidewalks,
parks. and places; J"
Wherever and whenever the police
power is used as 1t should be used
rioters will be prevented from gather
ing. Wherever and whenever 1t is
weakly used there will be mob vio-
lence, and then the military.
The race riots which have brought
shame to Washington, to Chicago, to
Omaha and to other cities may be the
result Of revolutionary agitation, as
some persons assert. If this is the
fact the case against lax admlnistra-
ton of the law is made stronger.
Should such a conspiracy exist II
would be the duty of the authorities
to use extra vigilance in maintaining
order.

test.
All through the spring. summer and
early fall daylight saving time compels
little children to go to bed while tho sun
IL still high and bright in the sky and all
nature still wide awake. They cannot
sleep and they lie awake a couple of
hours. They do not make up this sleep
in the morning. and their health suffers.
Housewives are compelled to rise at 4
or o'clock, sun time. instead OF at or
6. while human vitality is still at a low
ebb and before sufficient rest has been
obtained. In hot weather. when by sun
time 4 o'clock in the afternoon Is an
hour when the sun begins to decline, by
daylight saving time It is still blazing
hot. Mothers taking their children for
an outing from 4 to 5 80, before prepar-
ing the family supper, find themselves In
the heat of midday instead of in the cool
OF late afternoon.
The midday rest hour from IL to
P. NJ. comes, under daylight saving. be-
tween IL and IL noon. sun time, and the
worker resumes her or his work during
the hottest hour of the day.
For mothers and children daylight saw
ing has disadvantages which outweigh
any advantage that can be gained by 1t.

With the reestsblishment OF the Army
Nurse Corps on a permanent basis re-
serve nurses who are qualified for ap-
polntment in the regular corps have been
invited to submit applications for APP
pointment through their chief nurse. The
period of active service as reserve nurses
will not operate to diminish the period

active service as reserve nurses will count
toward longevity pay. Nurses who are
appointed in the regular corps with the
understanding that they would be re-

Omaha Furnishes an Object Lesson.

In Omaha, where a mob of race
rioters fired the court house, assaulted
the Mayor and lynched a negro, the
authorities Numbered as authorities in
other communities frequently blunder
when the spirit Of violence seizes con-
siderable numbers of the people with

the LATEST and least efficient police
man. or sheriff will take effective steps
as a matter of course to put an end to
the trouble. The incendiary and as
sassin will be captured If 1t is posi-
Bile. If 1t is necessary to shoot him to
prevent the commission of crime he
will be shot.
But when a great number of violent
men plan to commit arson and murder
the authorities too frequently wait un-
til the attempt is actually under way
before they adopt measures to per-
form their duty. They let the mob
form, they allow it TO approach the
spot where its victim is, and only
when the final act OF Its lawless de-
sign is imminent do they resort to
those measures to maintain the peace
which are understood and respected
by mobs. Because OF this neglect of
preliminary precautions such dis,
graceful crimes as those committed in
Omaha occur, and their disgrace Is
made blacker by the fact that the au-

General Wood Tackles Tough Job.

Major-General LEONARD WooD is, to
put 1t mildly, unlucky. He did not
get to France to fight, despite his best
efforts. Now he has been ordered to
Omaha to suppress disorder, practi-
cally to maintain the peace by martial
law, though formal abrogation Of
civil authority may not be made. 1t
is military duty of the hardest, most
trying and unsatisfactory kind, as
every soldier and sailor who has been
called on to do 1t will testify.
No officer in the army is better
qualified by temperament and expert
ence to deal with promoters of dis
order on one hand and the civil au-
thorities on the other than General
WooD. The good citizens of Omaha
are lucky to have him to protect them.

HAVE DARK HAIR

NOBODY CAN TELL WHEN YOU
DARKEN GRAY. FADED HAIR
WITH SAGE TEA

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew OF Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with Won
derful effect. BY asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound you will get large bot.
tie of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
all ready to use, for about SO cents.
This simple mixture can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
A we'll known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because 1t
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell 1t has been applied
It's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw 1t through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, 1t is restored to its
natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful.

ing War in Europe.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-No,
the least interesting feature of the
New Pacific fleet is its fourteen inch
gun. twelve on which are mounted
on Admiral Hugh Rodman's flagship,
the New Mexico and several other
ships of the fleet.
Design and construction of the
1+-inch naval gun on railway mount
ings on the western front was one of
the great accomplishment of the AM
erican navy during the war. The
gun hurled 400 pound proiectiles
far behind the German lines and were
a strong factor in reducing the St
Mihiei salient.
The gun was designed. built and
delivered in less than four months.
On December 25, 1917, according to
Secretary Daniels official report not
a drawing had been started. On April
%. 1918, a completed gun was roll
ed on its own wheels to Sandy Hook
proving ground for long range tests
The guns, Secretary Daniels said.
were intended for the new
battle cruisers but change in design
of the vessels made the guns avail
able for other use and it was recon-
mended they be mounted for land
service.
The guns were mounted on car
riages which would be moved freely
over the French railroads. With
them were their navy crews Twelve
cars were required for each gun
machine shops cars, armored ammun-
