Tribunal Of Nations

II would be an excellent thing for the League
Of Nations to create settled tribunal for the
trial Of international criminals, those who &C.
cupy positions of political and administrative
importance and who prostitute their offices to
the mean and despicable work Of assassination
and executions for purposes of self-promotion
or the ends OF their own interest. 1t is to be
hoped that full account will be taken of the
crimes Of such arch-criminals as Trotzky and
of the Bolshevist Premier of Hungary and Of
Villa in Mexico and all others who perform
deeds Of atrocity to advance their political aims
and programs.
There should be, there must be, a settled law
Of right and of order and Of protection. The
Kaiser should be punished and will be, accord
ing to this law. here is equal reason for the
punishment Of those who have been indicated
above and others like them. They should be
hailed before the international tribunal 1t is
but matter of time when Trotsky and Lenne
may be gotten hold of and when all such per-
sons may be brought to accounting. The need
now is to keep tab upon their records, so tina.
when the alterations political shall take place
they may be seized and tried and executed.
This country has nothing against promoters
of any political program But it has no place
and the world has no place, for dictators and

When Valera Comes Here.


Omaha, July Ito the Editor of
The Bee: I see by The Bee that
Mayor Ed P. Smith sent an invita-
alton to Eamonn De Valera, presi-
dent of the Irish republic, to de-
liver an address here. ! perceive,
too, that the Ancient order of
Hibernians in San Francisco plans to
ask President De Valera to unveil in
the Golden Gate park a statue of
Robert Emmett.
If Mr.. De Valera visit Omaha I be-
| lieve it would be appropriate to
emulate the example Of the men in
| San Francisco. Therefore l would
suggest to the actual warriors, "the
| shotless warriors and the non-com-
missioned men in the Irish cause
that arrangements be made to unveil
the monument erected in the Holy
| Sepulcher cemetery over the grave
of the hero of the battle of Ridge
way. General John O'Neilrs monu-
ment was never unveiled because
there were some little preliminaries
| overlooked at it's erection. Proba-
| bly,, too, the hameless grave in the
| Holy Sepulcher cemetery Of the first
secretary of Davitts and Parnell' S
old Land League, Thomas Brennan,
might be located, thereby giving an
opportunity to Mr.. De Valera to
draw his own conclusion of the
alertness or apathy of the Irish in

LIQUOR in the Home.

The supreme court Of Nebraska has ruled
that: 1--WE find nothing in the constitutional
amendment or the statute which prohibits a
householder who is lawfully in possession of
intoxicating liquors from moderately using the
same as beverage" The court therefore re-
versed the decision of the district court of
Richardson county, and directed the restoration
to its owner of large quantity of liquor seized
at his home.
This common sense determination Of the
law is commended to the careful consideration
of the Omaha police authorities. Also the fur
Their language of the court: "The words per
sonal use and needs were intended to give such
persons the right to use Intoxicating liquor not
excessively but moderately, in the manner and
to the extent he or members of his family has
been accustomed to use it."
The right to have liquor in the home and to
use 1t for beverage purposes is thus made clear.
When the men who are charged with the duty
OF enforcing the law themselves come under
the law, the liberties of the citizen and the
sanctity of the home will be made secure. This
does not destroy the right of visit and search,
or of seizue, but it does put on the state the
burden of proving that the liquor is illegally
held by its owner, and that it is intended to be
used for an unlawful purpose.
This decision ought to be effective in dis
pelling the reign of terror the over-zealous
booze hounds" have sought to set up AT any
rate, it gives the citizen stronger sense OF
security in his own home

Far Eastern Reply to the Drys.

Enthusiastic advocates of prohibition an
nounce a purpose to enter on an immediate
campaign in Japan. One of the points they
urge is that now 100000 bushels of rice an
nually is used to produce sake, the popular tip
pie in Nippon. This, where food is so scarce.
is considered a criminal waste. The most i'm
pressive answer that might be given to this is
the news from Nagasaki that a company has
just been formed there, with capital of half
a million dollars, to conduct distillery for the
making of rum from sugar cane. So, if the
prohibition people are able to head off the max
ing of rice "wine," the loss to the bibulous will
be compensated for by the production of that
delectable compound that gave New England
fame and wealth alike in days of yore. The
dry belt may reach over to the land of the
Rising Sun, but it is not likely to envelope the

called.
Mother-The 6o1st engineers is
! not yet assigned to convey home. At

available it can go aboard ship

THE LETTER. 1el9-1o40.

Horatio Lang and Mabel Strang
Were lovers fond and true,
Each dreamed about a coy flat
Designed to shelter two.
Nightly he courted her-they dwelt
One city block apart,
But he couldn't get his courage up
To offer her his heart.
And 80 Horatio penned note
In phrases honey sweet,
And laid his love and weekly wage
At Mabers dainty feet.
He begged her for line at once
To let him know his fate:
Then mailed the missive joyfully
And sat him down to walt.
The years rolled on with no reply.
And he grew stout and gray,
And Mabel when she met him shifted
And looked another way.
She married Guy Lewellyn jerks.
A movie star Of fame.
Then, to Horatio's great surprise,
At last her answer came.
'Your letter was delivered, 10!
This afternoon at three.
So your proposal comes she wrote.
