HOME RULE oMAHA's GREAT NEED.

Failure of certain amendments to Omaha's
charter to pass scrutiny At Lincoln emphasizes
the need of the community for the right to reg
ulate its own domestic affairs. The character
of the defeated changes in the city charter is
not important a. is the fact that their disposal
depended on the temper Of the Legislature. Mat
tiers concerning the city alone were being dealt
with, and in all fairness these should be left to
the decision of the people of Omaha, and not
be subject to the mood of the general assembly
II 50 happens that in this case q genuine
favor was done the home owners by the legis-
lature. The city commissioners sought to be
invested with extraordinary power in regard to
public improvements. The Bee called attention
to the bills when they were introduced and at
the time outlined the objections to them. Ar
guments of much force and weight are made in
favor of the measure but the principle is un-
altered. II the citizens of Omaha are willing
that the commission should have the power it
seeks, we'll and good, but the authority should
be granted by them and not by the state legis-
lature.
A home rule charter, prepared many months
ago, was held up by court proceedings, but 1t
surely can not be indefinitely postponed through
that means. Now that the charter amendments
sought have been denied by the legislature the
whole charter may. we'll be presented to the
people for adoption. Then it will be in order
to bring forward any amendments deemed ad-
visable or necessary, and allow the home
owners an opportunity to express themselves
formally on the point.
Let us take advantage Of permission given
long ago, adopt our own city charter, and cease
the biennial pilgrimages to Lincoln to secure
the privilege OF attending to our own affairs

TRIUMPH FOR
AMERICAN IDEALS
Peace Treaty the Most Momentous
Document Ever Prepared by
the Hand of Man

The Treaty of Paris is the longest
single treaty ever signed 1t is six
times as long as the treaties of the
peace of Westphalia (164S) and ten
times as long as the treaty of Vienna
(1815); it is as long as the latter and
all the subsidiary treaties resulting
from it. Though it covers more
ground than any other treaty made,
it was prepared in half the time re-
Quired for the peace of Vienna, and in
less than one-tenth of the time re-
Quired for the treaty of Westphalia.
This phenomenal result is attributed
by European statesmen to the initial
adoption of the Covenant of the
League of Nations, which provides for
the future settlement of large num-
ber of perplexing problems. Despite
opinions to the contrary, the verdict
of history will unquestionably be that
the Peace of Paris carries into effect
to remarkable degree the program
accepted in advance by the peoples
of the world, and embodied in the
Fourteen Points put forth by the
American government on January g.,
1918, ten months before the actual
signing Of the asAsstice. 49,
The treaty as signed makes a new
world, politically, physically, morally
and spiritually. The mandatory sys-
tenn ends the old regime of exploita-
ton, and makes wards of the whole
world in Asia, Africa and the isles OF
the sea. The Treaty has established
in the place of artificial states natural
political and national units. 1t has
removed from the map numerous his
toric wrongs which have long served
to embitter the international rela-
tons. 1t has set the world upon a
new path of progress marked by the
following guide posts:
l. International cooperation, in
cluding the consolidation of all exist
ing international administrative ac-
tivities.
Z. Extensive machinery for CO.
operation in League of Nations open
to all that prove worthy of member
ship.
3. The creation of a labor con-
ference and labor bureau to solve the
problems of an industrial civilization
4. A pledge to reduce armaments
and as first step toward it the dis
arming of the one nation whose geo
graphical sitaation has made it a
menace to the world.
5. The abolition Of conquest by
Article X, without interfering with
other methods of territorial adjust
ment.
6. The declaration that any war is
J matter of concern to all, and the
erection of machinery for dealing with
conditions which endanger the peace
of the world.
= Z. An agreement not to go to wal
, before peaceful settlement of dispute:
, has been tried.
s. Automatic proXision sanctions
for the punishment of the breach o
: agreements voluntarily taken.
8. A representative Assembl!
meeting regularly and, among otheI
things, carrying on the work of codi
flying and revising international Law
begun by the Hague Conference.
+ The treaty is the most momentou
document ever prepared by the hant
: Of man. 1t sets the world right abou
: face. 1t marks the triumph of Amer
, ican ideas, policies and institutions
