Inquiry Into the Riot.

Attorney General Davis and County Attor-
ney Shotwell are now charged with most i'm
perative duty. They must make diligent and
thorough inquiry into the dsgraceful affair of
Sunday night, and to bring to bar the persons
responsible.
Processes of the law are slower, perhaps,
than the sudden movements of mob but they
should be memorable and exact. The disgrace
now laid on Omaha can only be increased by
failure of the law officers to secure punishment
of those guilty of the crimes that may be listed
as included in the rioting and its results. While
the failure of the proper authorities to act with
promptness and vgor when the danger was
first discerned can not be condoned, the overt
acts of the rioters call for prosecution, and this
has been promised by the officials.
Omaha and Douglas county have suferd
enormously because of incompetence and in
efficiency on part of those in authority, and
should not be required to carry heavier bur
den of shame through either negligence or in
difference on part of others 1t is not enough
to say to the world that SO per cent of our
citizenship is law-abiding. The fact must be
proved by vindication of the law

BRINGING ORDER TO OMAHA.

With Major General Wood in command Of
the whole situation, the Omaha police force
under the capable direction of an experienced
army officer of high rank, 400 United States
soldiers on guard, assisted by the former serv-
ice men who are organized in the American
Legion, order, Is fast being restored in Omaha.
General Wood is of the opinon that for the
present wise precautions should be observed,
to the end that no further outburst of the ex-
plosive spirit be engendered To this end he
has advised calling off the electric parade, and
the abandonment of any program that would
bring together such an assemblage as might
encourage further unseemly displays The wis
dom of this course must be apparent.
1t will not be easy for Omaha to postpone
the great Ak-Sar-Ben celebration, but 1t will be
far better than to run the risk Of any more
rioting. Restoration Of normal conditions will
depend on the complete subsistence of the fever
that burned in the crowd on Sunday. This is
to be brought about only by the careful be-
havior of each citizen for himself, submitting
General Wood, who aim only to bring about or
derby conditions under which the life Of the
city may continue.
Officers of the law are moving with celebrity
to bring the guilty to trial. Rioters already
under arrest are held without bond while the
judges of the district court have taken the
necessary steps to, summons grand jury for
detailed inquiry into the disturbance. Investi-
cation and vigorous pursuit OF the offenders is
demanded.
Reorganization of the police department,
that it may be made efficient, is imperatively
urged by leading citizens. This will follow in
its turn. The first thing to be done is to make
sure that the lawless element white or black,
is checked to point where its control will
eliminate all likelihood of any further mob
violence.

America and Europe

10 Americans distressed by current tenden-
cies IN their own country-a local humorst has
Just taken refuge behind Byron's line, my ma
tive land, -night!'-there may be a certain
melancholy consolation in the reflection that
Europe is in an even worse way. The formerly
Grand-but-not-now-so-G Grand Admiral Won Tir-
pitt observes in his book now published:
For the future, as | view it, the small
states of Europe will disappear in trans
atlantic combine of Anglo-Saxons, and the
strength of Europe, which reposes in the ad-
Justment OF manifold independent nations and
civilizations within the narrowest limits, will
decay; with its passing the wealth of Europe
will die as well, with its ascendancy and the
possibility of any position in the world.
All this could have been averted, it would
appear, if Germany had been allowed to con-
quer Europe and merge its manifold indepen-
dent civilizations" into one culture, dominated
by the political ideals of Berlin and the artistic
canons of Munich But this altrustic effort of
the German people was thwarted by its bene-
fcaries. and nothing is left but a subsection
to Anglo-Saxonism.
However, there are distinctions even be-
tween Anglo Saxons, to which the German ad-
miral is blind. One of them is indicated by a
certain Harold Spender, writing in The London
Chronicle Discussing Mr.. Bullitt's entertain
ing publications of what must be supposed to
have been revealed to him under the seal of
secrecy. he observes:
i do not believe there is any British jour
nast who would have acted like Mr. Bulitt.
But they have other ideas of these things in
America, as Mr.. Balfour's mission discovered
The writers in that great country
cannot be expected to respect the con-
tldences Of Europeans in the same way as
Europeans themselves
Mr.. Spender appears to be writing for some
purpose to the attainment of which facts may
be sacrificed as readily as the grammatical use
OF the language somewhat inaccurate1y known
who
paper man, betrayed condolences in his capacity
as an official of the State department; but this
does not necessarily prove that all Americans
would do what he did. However, Spender no
less than Tirpitz is obsessed by the vision of an
American people which regards itself as so
superior to Europeans that in dealing with them
it is absolved from the ordinary rules of de-
cency.-Brookyn Eagle

Making a Republic to Order

More than hundred years ago the people
81 the United States including many distin..
riished citizens, together with congress and
] numerous societies, were interested in the
Areation of new nation founded on moral con-
alterations. The young state thus born still
(1ives, and its presdent-elect is visiting this
country though his presence and movements
are little noted. The republic referred to is
(Jiberia organized by American influence and
lid in 1916. Its birth was due to mild anti
Slavery movement in which many prominent
public men figured The idea was to return the
kaegro population to a new country OF their
own to be established suitably on the west
coast of Africa, where they would be free from
bondage, enjoy the fruits of their own indus
try, and be encouraged to rule themselves under
s>the methods of self-deternination. Henry Clay,
smes Madison, John Randolph Charles Car
rolfs< Robert Finley and H. B. Latrobe were
actvclu the novel undertaking, and gifts of
money by>bequest and otherwise were frequent.
An old buil6Ug in Washington still bears the
inscription, "ANerican Colonization Society"
A FIRST delegationNei colonists was sent over m
1920 to a group of islands on the African coast,
and three years later Treaties were made with
native chiefs on the ma inland. The resulting
republic of Liberia, with a territory about equal
to that of Indiana, dates from lS47.
Liberia has now population of 2,OOO,0O0,
Of whom 10000 are American negroes or their
descendants. The inhabited region is narrow
strip along the coast but the higher country in
land has better climate and some valuable
minerals. The capital, Monrovia, was named
. after the American president, who had doe
trne, of peaceful nature, about the undesr-
ability of slavery. Southerhers of distinction
agreed with him at that time. Liberia was
started as moral ideal. At the end of CEN
fury it at least still exists.-St. Louis Globe

The Diamonds Play Tricks.

DOLLO, the monkey, chartered
lG loudly in pain and anger as he
rubbed his badly nipped nose. He
was scared, too, but his rage over
his hurts was greater than his fear,
and If the dark creatures had come
back to the black robbers roost, It
would have found him fighting mad.
But the dark creature didn't come
back. 1t rushed away so quickly
that Billy and the monkey never
saw more than a flash of black.
WAS that the black robber?"
Billy called down to Peggy.
II couldn't see," she answered.
Everything happened SO suddenly"
"Ee-ee-eek! Robber or no robber,
back" chartered the monkey, pat
ting his smarting nose In his anger
he began to tear the nest to
pieces.
Here, don't do that" objected
Billy quickly. IF the diamonds are
hidden there you'll lose them"
At that Rollo leaped nimbly into
the nest and looked eagerly for the
diamond brooch.
There's nothing here that spar
kles like glass" he chartered dis
appointedly. Billy, climbing up to
help him search, found that this was
true. There was no sign of a dia-
mond amid the twigs and sticks that
formed the nest.
Can I wreck the roost now?"
asked the monkey. But Billy had a
better idea. He wanted to catch the
black robber when the black rob-
Der came back to his roost
In Billy's pocket was a long fish
line. He took this out and carefully
made loop in one end. He spread
this loop open in the nest, and COW
cred it with twigs SO that it could
not be seen easily. Billy then made
little hole in the bottom of the
nest and poked the other end of
the string down through it.. The
string was Tong and reached the

Now, when Mr.. Black Robber
comes home, we will give him as
much of a surprise as he gave us"
he chuckled.
"And I'll pull his nose good"
chartered Rollo, the monkey.

claimed Peggy.
