POLISH TRADES
 BIG FUTURE
Agriculture and Industry There
 Show Great Gains

The value of Poland as a field Tor American capital is the subject of Il report recently issued by the Polish consulate in New York. The pamphlet enumerates the important industries and agricultural products of that country, and predicts a period Of \great prosperity as soon as the artl- 1icial barriers of the pre-War period between the different districts are done away with and unified imam cial system is established by the new government.
 The Polish government, the report reads. will have assured sources of revenue for all of it's needs as soon as the economic life is once mora normal. The financial situation in Poland, says tho report, will be on the whole much better than that of her nei ghborS, as the enormous war debt burdening those countries will not have to be borne by her. The most urgent expenses of the Polish state at present include the purchase Of equipment and raw mat crialS for the factories, agricultural machinery, rolling stock for railway, food sup plies and the support of the uncm- ployed.
 According to the report, ono of the greatest difficulties at the present time is the unsettled currency sNstcr. Poland is today flooded with deprc- .Ciated foreign currency. RuhleS, marks and Austrian crowns under went during the war enormous loss in value, and one of the first tasks of the new government is to free the country from these and COnSolidatH the currency system. This is to be accomplished by tho establishment of a general national emission bank, and . the necessary preparations for it arc fnoW bcing made.
 The money unit to he adopted is the franc. The appreciated foreign bank notes will be taken over from CirCu- 1ation by the government, and will bH used to balance accounts with RuSSil, Germany and Austria.
 As regards the political situation. continues the report, Poland begins its independent life in absolute in terior peace. Notwithstanding tho vavo of anarchy roamnE on her bor- ders, Poland has passed through the difficult time of her resurrection without any political or social upris- ings.

What Ais Omaha?

Fewer than one in seven of the voters Of
Omaha took the trouble to express their ap-
proval or dissent to 100000 road bond issue.
The city commissioners by vote of to 2
condoned and whitewashed detectives accused
of the most outrageous conduct ever charged
against public officials in this community.
The representatives of certain phase of
public activity, when asked why they did not
abandon an obsolete and misleading practice,
answered that, although The Bee had shown
them the blunder, they thought they would go
on as they were doing.
Here are three instances symptomatic of the
situation. Civic indifference, lethargy of the
public conscience, whatever term may be ap-
piled to it, apparently controls. Only the people
themselves are to blame.
1t is no pleasure to expose wrong doing or
to criticize public servants, nor is it of great
avail, when warning and admonition alike en-
counter only inattention. Blowing bubbles
and chasing rainbows will not better the local
situation. If Omaha is to improve and 60
ahead as it ought more lively concern in
public affairs than is now manifest must be
awakened.

Getting Back on the lob.

The decision of the Central Labor union not
to call general walkout in Omaha was we'll
taken. Loud talk and vehement assertions on
either side will not help in adjusting any Of the
differences between workers and employers.
These only can be settled in conference where
calm counsel prevails and wisdom directs the
outcome. In the present strike, limited as it
was fair employers were made to suffer be-
cause some were deemed unfair. The injustice
of this does not require argument. general
tie-up would have increased this imposition and
would have punished the fair employers more
than it would have affected those who decline
to deal with the unions. 1t is encouraging to
note that the leaders of labor in Omaha are at
last cognizant of this fact. Reasonably salts
factory conditions of labor seldom if ever flow
from violence. Settlements that come through
direct bargaining are the only basis for the CO.
operation that must be had if industry is to
thrive. The sooner the union men who have
been out on sympathy strike get back to work
for the employers who are willing to treat them
fairly, and by their faithful attention to business
show the sincerity of their purpose, the easier it
will be to make bargain for the others

Public Health Bureau

If the members of the American Medical
association will but get together and agree on
uniform policy with regard to the pressing
need of federal department of health, there
is little doubt that congress will come to their
relief and establish such a department.
1t is not only the experience of the country
with the influenza and nfantile paralysis cpl
denies that brings home to every layman as
we'll as professional men the need of absolute
coordination and Standardization of public
medicine and of all preventive and quarantine
methods that must be set up from time to time
but the experience of the medical profession in
the war has confirmed everything that civil life
has revealed as to the gross stupidity that has
for years prevented federal department of
health from being set up.
At the same time, this situation cannot be
blamed wholly on the ignorance of the laity in
congress, since, as all medical men know, the
failure to secure federal department of health
has been due in part to what is known as med
ical politics" But surely when, as Dr. Charles
H. Mayo pointed out to the convention in At
lantic City in advocating that department of
health be established, with member of the
cabinet, it is fact that as many as Is bureaus
and departments at Washington take hand
in some phase of the public health problem, it
is time that the profession got together and
acted as a unit in demanding that an end be
put to this fatuous procedure.
As it is, congress had better be memorlalized
to establish such a department. in connection
with the request that it appropriate $l,5000oC
for an investigation of influenza. For, under
existing conditions, to ask large sums with
,ut securing absolute coordination in their ex-
penditure for experimentation looking to the
improvement OF the public health is not the
visest procedure. Everything that has hap
pened within the last two years cries out for a
properly centralized federal department OF
health, and the public, as we'll as the medical
men, should insist that this very necessary de-
partment be established at once.-Philadelphia

DRAFT CONVENTION DELEGATES.

1t is time for the people of Omaha and
Douglas county to wake up to the importance
of the coming constitutional convention for
which delegates will have to be filed next month.
Under the apportionment we will send
twelve from Douglas county and these twelve
ought to be the most representative men in the
community. If they are to be chosen under the
nonpartisan plan as provided for, they must be
of both political parties and regardless of their
party utilization they should be men of standing
and men who stand for sonnet hing-men whom
we want to send rather than mere self-seekers
who want to go.
The kind of men we ought to have represent
ing this county containing the great metropolis
of the state with its varied and important inter-
ests, are just those who will not push them
selves forward as candidates, but must be made
to go as a matter of public duty.
Not by way of excluding anyone or institut-
ing invidious comparisons, we ought in our
judgment to have lawyers like Norris Brown
John L. Kennedy, John J. Sullivan, Howard H.
Baldrige, George w. Magney, Benjamin S.
Baker, business men like Robert Cowe
Thomas c. Byrne, c. M. Wilhelm, John w.
Gamble, John w. FOWL; some one for the live
stock interests like James G. Martin Gene
Melady; ex-soldiers back from overseas duty
like Capt. Allan Turkey, Capt. c. F. McLaugh-
lin, or doctors like Major Stokes and Major
Henry; some one from outside the city like ].
c. Robinson, of Waterloo; some of our natural
lied citizens like Harry Wolf or Vaclav Buresh,
and possibly preacher like Rev. Titus Lowe,
DR.. E. H. jerks or DR.. Frank Smith. OF course
there should be one or more delegates repre-
senting the wage working classes men who are
identified with the labor movement, who have
the confidence of the conservative sober minded
laboring man.
These suggestions not intended to COM
nit The Bee or any one else to these particular
men, but to direct attention to the character of
the men who should be summoned to help draft
our new constitution The Bee would like to
have its readers propose other names for con-
sideration, for in this way only will we be able
finally to secure a really representative delega-
ton which is so greatly to be desired,

Work of the War Labor Board.

The War Labor board is winding up bust
ness, preparatory to its dissolution. No agency
of the government performed a more needed
work in more efficient way than this. Called
into existence as an emergency organization, 1t
was charged with the delicate and perplexlng
task of stabilizing as far as possible industrial
conditions. This required that complex nego-
tiations be carried on, searching, though hasty,
inquiries be made, and full and sympathetic
as we'll as patriotic understanding of the difficult
problems be reached, in order that adjustments
might be made and the wheels kept turning at
high speed while the war was on. Its activity
gave vitality to the practice of settling labor
disputes by Cancellation or arbitration, fixed the
principle of collective bargaining, and brought
relations between the employers and employed
to better standing than ever prevailed. That
the board did not finally solve all the difficulties
in the way of industrial peace is not its fault
Here and there group on one side or the other
declined to accept the ruling made, and under
took to enforce its own views, but in the main
labor and capital found room to stand on the
ground prepared by the War Labor board. Its
existence has been fully justified by the results
it obtained

Ostrich kicked out with one of his
powerful legs and sent the fat Turk
plunging over the bank into the
swirling water.
Red Beard rose to the surface, his
elephant skin all wet, bedraggled
and shrinking. He was madden than
a wet hen when he waded out Of
the river and started again after
Optimistic Ostrich.
At first Optimistic Ostrich ran
along the bank looking for a shall
low crossing place, but he could find
none, and Red Beard was drawing
so close that he plunged into the
raging torrent and started to wade
across.
The wates was deep and the cur
tr:ch was struggling for his life. By
gigantic struggling he succeeded in
gaining a large rock near the center
OF the stream, but the river ahead
looked so danerous that he hesitated
before going farther.
"rll get you yet" yelled Red
Beard With that he flung his scimi-
tar straight at him. Peggy and Bill
ly lodged, but Optimistic Ostrich
couldn't get his long neck out of the
way. Whish! The scimitar struck
it, going through it like a knife
through soft butter. To Peggy's hor-
ror Optimistic Ostrich's head
dropped into the water and was
swept way.
But, surprising to say, Optimistic
Ostrich didn't fall down dead.
"Ho, no, came jolly voice from
inside his body. 1--WE lost my
head, but I'll still get the better of
Red Beard. He isn't the only one
who can wear a disguise"
Peggy and Billy, much astonished,
looked down into the neck to see
the grinning face of the Giant Of
the Woo DIS.
This river is too deep to wade.
sters on my back, but there's still
way to get you home"
So saying, the Giant Of the
Woods gave Billy mighty heeave
that sent him flying across the river
and out of sight. Then he gave Peg
gy a mighty heave. She sailed far
over the water, far over the woods,
and through a misty white cloud,
and right into her seat at the
movie theater. Her wish gown was
gone, and so was the glass slipper.
She was dressed in her own neat
frock.
"My gracious, l wonder II the
Giant got away from Red Beard"
Peggy wondered. But she didn't
need to worry about that, for the
Giant was a powerful swimmer, and

MISS LIBERTY"

There's girl that I will look for
When I sail into home port,
And 1 know that she'll be waiting there

She was the last one I did view
When I sailed the ocean blue.
That good old girl they call Miss Lib
erty."
Her welcome will be bright
Just as soon as she can sight,
And a CLEAN she'll send far out into the
bay.
There'll be almost mutiny,
So glad I'll be to see
Miss Liberty" the girl Of U. s. A.
How I long ofttime to see her
With her flaming torch held high
For freedom she proclaims triumphantly.
She's girl that is true blue
And will never prove untrue,
And firm she stands for truth and liberty.
To receive all she is waiting
And help in. celebrating
A victory by men of the U. s. A.
And she'll be always ready,
Her hand Is firm and steady,
For Miss Liberty will never be passee.

these representatives of intellectual entities, rum

Fort Oglethorpe internment camp, there are
a dozen or so authentic Americans. One may
wonder how the signatures of some of them,
who knew what the war was about not more
than year ago. have been obtained to this
remarkable document; conceivably they didn't
know what other names would appear beside
theirs when the appeal for the forgiveness of
