Are Creeds Credentials?

The critical comment of Rev. Mr.. Kuyken-
dali on the newly formed ministerial associa-
ton in Omaha must challenge the attention of
thoughtful persons, regardless of denomination
or religious affiliation. He raises no objection
whatevep to ministers forming themselves into
any sort of organization for the perpetuation Of
a particular kind of religion That privilege
is admitted. He does properly object to an
association with restricted qualifications for
membership assuming to be the head and front
of religious undertakings for the community.
The imptopriety of the situation should have
occurred to the organizers of the movement
On this point Mr.. Kuykendal tersely sums up;
1T practically declares that there is no room
in the religious life of Omaha for those who
are thinking religiously, in terms of the
Twentieth century" Dr.. T. Dewitt Talradge
many years ago, explaining why he could not
adhere to the Westminster Confession of Faith,
said he could not reconcile himself to the
thought of the Nineteenth century sitting at the
feet of the Seventeenth. This does not mean
that the fundamentals Of religion are to change;
it does not raise sharply the question whether
the thought of the day, so infinitely expanded in
other directions, is to be narrowed down on
the one vital point to the standards of 400 years
ago. Can our conception of God increase as
we gain in understanding of His works, or are
we to accept creeds as credentials?

Back to Competitive Basis.

Director Hines refusal to accept fixed prices
on steel has put an end to Secretary Redfelds
effort to adjust prices to facilitate the return
from war to peace levels The head of the rail-
road administration announces he will buy the
200000-odd tons of steel Immediately required
in the open market on competitive basis. On
this, the price-fxing board created by the Sec
rotary of commerce dissolves, and the basic in
dustries Of the country go at once under the
law of supply and demand. How this will
operate can not be foretod. 1t may mean a
higher and it may bring lower price level. No
great concessions are to be anticipated, al
though the underlying commodities may follow
the course of few of the specialtes. At the
beginning of the year certain Of the leading
groups of manufactured articles announced
prices that showed reductions of rs per cent or
more from war figures This was not sufficient
to stimulate general buying, because other
prices were kept up. Stagnation has followed,
and relief has fingered, waiting the outcome Of
Secretary Redhelds efforts to help the country
back from war to peace. Now that this is over,
and without beneficial result, we may see what
business can do for itself.

The FiQurehead

Such a spectacle as the ex-kaiser arraigned
before an International court to answer the
charge of "a supreme offense against interna-
tional morality and the sanctity of treaties" has
been beheld rarely, if ever, before. Tamerlane
led Bajazet the proud leader Of the great Turk
armies, off the field at Angora chained to the
wheels of his chariot. Henry " Inundated
himself to the earth before Hildebrands castle
at Canossa. But William II of Hohenzollern,
stripped of the regala representing the Teu-
tonic imperialism is to be judged by the opinion
of world which has felt the full weight of the
Vaccinations OF class of which he was little
more than the tool
The proposed trial u.s. however, not an I'M
mixed good. 1t will, to be sure, make known
to all ages this generations condemnation
of ruthless aggression. Yet such trial will de-
generate into colossal hypocrisy unless it is
borne in mind that the kaiser was not so much
the cause as the effect of German imperial am
bition. For it to. deal merely in personality
would rob the court of the dignity rightly its
own.
To try the kaiser, richly merted as that trial
may be, will not compensate the peoples who
have suffered in the war nor wrest indemnites
from an all-but bankrupt Germany. 1t is we'll
understood that the kaiser was political figure
head in the former German empire. 1t is known
that the revolution has done away with virtually
all desire on the part of Germany for the kaisers

No Place for P0rtisanship

There is reinsurance in the intination that
has been permitted to go abroad that the re-
publican leaders of the senate will make no at
tempt to bind republican senator's to a specific
course of action with respect to the league OF
nations. To do so would be serious mistake,
and if any caucus or conference is deemed ad-
visable it should be understood definitely in adj
vance that those who attend are not COM
rlitted thereby to vote either for or against the
league.
As The Post has upon several occasions
emphasized, the league of nations is not
party question, and no attempt should be made
to give it . partisan tinge. 1t is purely ques-
ton for individual judgment If ever there was
an issue before the senate which demanded
careful and individual consideration, wholly
aloof from partisan influence, this is the one.
There are many party questions regarding
which senator is justified in yielding his per-
sonal preferences or judgment to that of his
party caucus upon the theory that the collective
opinion is safer than that of the individual The
league Of nations is not one of those questions.
No vote should be Influenced by party politics,
By friendship for or prejudice against the presi-
dent or by any Interior fact. 1t is among the
most important measures ever presented to the
United States senate, holding for all the people
Of America portion of good or evil. 1t is not
even domestic question solely. much less
question, to be dealt with strictly from the
standpoint of patriotism No party can have a
monopoly Of ACKNOWLEDGMENT Post

THE HOME COMING.

They come. they come In brave array,
With pomp and panoply of war;
These warriors who amid the fray,
The flag of Freedom proudly bore.
Now mothers their young heroes meet
And wives salute their soldier mates.
While kinsmen, reunited, greet
Yet, pale and pensive, some one waits.
A paean now the people sing.
As tales OF victory unfold,
And plaudits to the welkin ring
In honor Of these spirits bold.
The cup Of joy filled to TIE brim,
Is quaffed on this triumphant day,
Yet from the vessels golden rim
Someone in sadness turns to pray.
Recedes the awful battle wrath
Before the glory and acclaim
That mark each young crusaders path
Along the corridors of fame:
Yet one who kept the torch ablaze,
In poppy fields far distant sleeps;
Now someone walks the lonely ways,
And broken hearted, softly weeps.
Yet through the heavy clouds of gloom
That grief assemblies Ger a soul
Whose Joys seem buried in a tomb
Enshrined on some embattled knoll,
The light of hope shall burst and CLEAN
Like sun-gold dropped from heaven
dome.
For just beyond the stygian stream,
That soldier-saint at last is Home!

So, Then, Now.

York, Neb., May 6.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: ireland still wants
all or nothing, but if its enthusiasts
will take a squirt at what was hand
ed to Italy, China and Belgium, they
may get a notion of what is likely to
come to them"
Just what object the editor Of The
| Bee had in printing the above squib
in today's paper. or just what con-
nection the question Of "all or Moth
ing" for Ireland has with the ques-
ton of the claims of Italy, China or
Belgium is not apparent in the edi-
torial, and the wish seems to be
father to the thought that this old
est and longest oppressed, robbed,
prosecuted and crucif1ed nation in
Europe in the eyes Of The Bee editor,
should receive the same treatment
In the peace conference as the other
countries named by The Bee.
Ireland is not asking the land or
ports or people Of any country, but
her own, and such being the case
why "squint" az any country of peo-
pie for a comparison and especially
Italy? True. Ireland will ask at
the peace conference reparation in
the sum Of about $4,000, 100000 for
damages done Ireland by England,
and whv not? Robbing Ireland has
for centuries been looked upon by
England as legitimate, and If Ger
many is made to pay, and she will
be made to pay, why should Eng
land, who has committed every
crime against Ireland and more and
worse than Germany committed
against Belgium, not be made to pay
for her wanton and murderous
crimes against Ireland?
Powell, acquainted with history?
Especially acquainted little teenie
vicente bit with Irish history? I
think not or in line with the policy
Of The Bee and some other pro-
British papers in lampooning Ire
land, he would have left out the
cartoon in today's Bee. Maybe the
editor overlooked 1t, or maybe the
editor was and is as ignorant Of
Louvain's history as Powell Is, but
1t does not matter, the cartoon served
as an indictment Of England's rule
Of hellfire in Ireland for centuries
and Louvain was a result Of that
h1deouS rule.
Three hundred and three years ago
the foundation Of Louvain was laid,
not by Belgium or Belgians, but by
Irish Catholics because the penal
laws of England in force in Ireland
would not permit Catholic school
in all the land, and the history of
the reason for Ireland having to go
in her poverty to a foreign country
to plead for bit Of ground on
which to erect a school in which
her young men might be educated
in history of the more than seven
centuries of brute rule in Ireland.
1 would recommend that The Bee,
all hands, read up a little on Irish
history before attempting to belittle
her. 1t will save their friend, Eng
land, from having her crimes more
exposed to the public.

Florence, Neb., April SOTO the
Editor Of The Bee: In regard to
good roads for Douglas county and
the 100000 bonds soon to be voted
on, 1 have this to say, viz: There
are several points to consider in
the bond proclamation, If our good
road enthusiasts wish for them to
carry by three-fifths majority. In
the first place, the proclamation
must be unrestricted so If they
carry, the ahutting property owners
can be assessed a certain amount in
the payment of said roads aside from
his annual taxes under the bond issue
which we all have to pay. The farm
ers Of this county should know that
about nine-tenths Of the voters live
in Omaha and country towns and
do not own farm and do not get
the direct benefit out of said roads
or any unearned increment as the
land owners will who is going to be
lucky to have the road pass by his
farm, which makes it more valuable.
Senate File 6S, 1919 Session pro-
vides for paving districts which
carry the assessments two miles
back on the graduated scale, but
the per cent which the farmer and
the state is to pay is not specified
by the law, but is left to be worked
out by the county commissioners
and the state highway department
and the parties who create the dis
trict and when all agree the county
commissioners have the authority
to create the district, whether or
not our bond proclamation calls for
this support. l am quite certain it
will have to call 70 the land owners
support up to a certain per cent in
some manner before the city voters
will approve of its adoption.
In regard to the material to be
used, the proclamation must call for

INTERNATIONAL LAW.

Mr. Wilson's tribute to international law,
expressed in his words to a group of lawyers,
may serve to reassure those who had almost
been driven to the conclusion that the pres-
dent had decided to do away with the nstitu-
ton. His references to its growth and applica-
ton were not especially happy. To speak Of
law As being left too much in the hands Of
lawyers, who fear to venture on uncharted
courses, is not fair to the studious men who
gives to law its vitality and make it serviceable
to humanity.
All will agree with him that "the heart OF
the world is under very plain Jackets" and
that unless you know the pressure of life Of
the humber classes you know nothing of life
whatever. These, though, are but beautiful
generalties, and mean little in concrete applica-
ton. 1t is not supposed that Mr.. Wilson will
leave either the framing or the Interpretation
of international law to the uniformed, but that
He will continue to insist that the impulses Of
the humble hearts be in some measure con-
trolled by the thought of we'll trained and bal
anced minds.
To allege that national systems of law are
outworn will convince only those who have
little or no knowledge Of the law, of its origin,
growth and symmetry. Law is crystallized
human experience; some of the law we follow
was laid down an hundred centuries or longer
ago. The very 'law of love" on which Mr.
Wilson lays his greatest stress, was enunciated
by K'ung- fu-tsu $500 years ago, and teachers
antedating him by many Centuries are accredit-
ed with similar utterances. The fabric of ma
tional law is not rigid, as might be surmised
from reading of the presidents speech, but
is elastic and grows as the minds of men are
broadened."
Elihu Root called attention to the fact that
! the first draft Of the league of nations, which
the president brought home as perfect produc-
ton and on which he asked only favoring COM
ment, made no provision in any way for the
growth and development Of international law, or
for the settlement of disputes according to law.
If Mr.. Wilson has felt the prick of Mr. Roots
criticism, and it appears he has, it will be &C
cepted as sign of advance. However, the in
stitution that has grown with the human race
is not to be discarded at this time, when its
protective guidance is more needed than ever
in all human experience. The bolshevik found
the law outworn and abandoned it, but the civ
iized people will not.

ireland and the Peace Conference.

Our irascible correspondent, who challenges
The Bees sympathy with Ireland and the Irish.
puts an unwarranted Interpretation on the para
graph he quotes What was aimed at was to
give the thoughtful Irish an idea, of the hope
lessness of their appeal to the conference at
Paris From the very outset it was plain even
to casual observers that Great Britain had no
thought Of relinquishing any of its possessions,
least Of all Ireland. American opinion on this
point was discounted long ago, and is of very
little weight now. The article in the league
pact that fixes forever the political boundaries
to be established in Paris disposcs of Ireland
so far as outside interference is concerned.
and leaves with England the decision as to
whether complete autonomy will be granted
the Irish. If the United States ratifes the
treaty and enters the League of Nations, it will
be bound by this provision, and agitation Of the
question in this country will not. only be Of no
avail but even may subject US to some sort Of
penalty for failure to abide by the terms Of
covenant This is what The Bee had in mind
when it advised the Irish to take a squint at
what was going on in Paris.
