Restoring County Records.

Omaha, Nov. Ito the Editor
Of The Bee: In regard to the re-
port made by the examining COM
mittee of the Citizens and Taxpay-
ers' league of Omaha to the board
of county commissioners of
Douglas county, concerning the
damage to. the records of
the register Of deeds, and the
cost of restoration, it was found that
three books. deed and mortgage
records. showing transactions filed
from May 1, 1919, to September a.,
1919, were lost or destroyed. These
books, under no circumstances,
should be left ouside of the vault
1t was also found that the numeri-
cal index, consisting of 120 books,
were lost and destroyed.
The members of the committee,
Peter E. Elsasser, former register of
deeds of Douglas county, and Roy
M. Harrop, secretary of the league,
offered to restore the records for
100000. Another offer was made
by Frank P. Morton, which has the
endorsement of Harry Pearce, reg
lister of deeds. This offer does not
set an exact price. but is to be from
$235,000 to $250,000, while the COM
mittee of real estate men and abb
stractors estimate the cost at $780,
600 and ask the county commission
ers to issue bonds for this amount
Commissioner Charles w. Unit
believed that the work could be done
cheaper than 100000 by allowing
the register of deeds to hire the help
needed, and insisted he would not
vote to allow the work to be done

Inside Stuff on ireland.

Omaha, Nov. 15.--To the Editor of
The Bee: In May, 1917. the English
government set up what it termed
an Irish convention to consider
and discuss a measure of self-govern-
ment for that country. 1t chose the
members. For, this one of it's chief
Cabinet Minister'S went beforehand
to the Ulster Unionists and urged
them privately to stand to their
guns" The objects aimed at in es-
tablishing the convention were to de-
ceive America and stop the progress
Of Sim Fein. 1t succeeded in the
first object for a few months. Many
Americans were led to believe that
plenary power.
1t failed in the second object. Few
Of the Irish people were deceived,
and when the present lord chancellor
of England blurted out at a public
meeting that the true obeject of the
convention was "to keep the Irish
talking" America was undeceived,
and Sir F. E. Smith was recalled to
England.
The English politicians who in
1917 thought they could deceive Sim
Fein, keep the Irish talking" and
throw dust in the eyes of America,
have Matched another scheme. They
agreed with Lord Grey before he
came to this country ION his mis-
sion," to do so. Lord Grey's mission
is to get an Anglo American alliance
disguised as a League of Nations"
carried through. Before he agreed
to go, he insisted that a settlement
scheme should be brought forward
that he could manipulate in this
country to pretend to Americans that
England was willing to solve the
Irish question" The settlement
scheme has now been drafted. The
sage council it Is said, of both Sir
Edward Carson and T. P. O'Connor
has been ELECTED in connection with
it. A synopsis of it has been sent
to the Ulster Unionist council, and
as we write, a committee of that
body is meeting in Belfast in con-
nection with it. Inside Of a very
short while, heralded by an English
press campaign, it will be produced
to the world, just at the monument
when the U. S. senate is engaged in
the critical stage of the discussion of
the covenant Of the League of Ma
tions. The schemers who have ar
ranged this also calculate that they
will induce a number of the Irish
people to start discussing their pro-
posals, and thus keep the Irish
talking" while the AngIo-American
alliance is being forged. The Irish
people have had an education in
political wisdom in the last few years.
They will not be betrayed into dis
cussing any bogus proposals. They
will heed them as little as they
needed the bogus convention. Ire
lands position was made clear and
definite at the polls December, 1918.
She then in accordance with the pro-
cedure suggested and the principles
laid down on behalf of the United |
States, determined to form the gov
eminent she desired. Her elected |
leader speaks today in her behalf |
to the American nation, claiming
it's recognition. The latest intrigue to |
attempt to disunite the Irish people !
by leading them to discuss another
Home Rule measure will fail mis-
erably as the convention.
England may for some time longer
rule in Ireland. She will never rule !
there with the sanction of the people !
of Ireland. f.t

CULLED FROM FORD'S
NEW WEEKLY PAPER

Successful persons often say that
opportunities are just as plentiful as
they ever were, but they don't tell
you what they are, where TO find
them" Ford says. Therefore the
object of this paper is to 60 straight
to the point and not deal in glittering
generalties that mean nothing.
However much we have been able
to do there is still SO much to be
done, SO many new opportunities to be
developed, that no one need despair OF
a chance to do something worth while
Opportunity? Why, opportunity is
the cheapest and most plentiful Of all
cur treasures. Like rich virgin soil,
it only waits to be found and used
"This paper exists to spread ideas,
the best that can be found. 1t aims to
furnish food for thought. It desires
to stir ambition and encourage indie
pendent thinking.
81 have never pretended to be a
writer or an editor, but I can talk
with plain Americans in way that
we can understand each other.
Eve are in great need Of new de-
velopments in industry today for
many reasons. During the war we
found many leaks in our industrial
system. We found many businesses
which the government described as
'ron-essential.
"a business that makes nothing but
money is a poor kind of business.
Every business ought to contribute to
the daily progress of the world.
"I would rather hear that man
had made million blows than that he
made million dollars.
when money ceases to be the sign
of a mans usefulness to his fellow
men or the promise Of still further
usefulness to come there is mighty
little satisfaction in 1t, no matter how
large the amount may be.
Money never makes men. II does
not ever make them over. But 1t
leaves them free to reveal what they
really are, to unmask their character.
We sometimes hear 1t said that a
mans money has made fool of him.
No, it only gave his opportunity to
prove that he always had the folly
in him."

MELON HAS YELLOW CORE
to Tell Wife, ~ Told
You So"

Washingtpn.-Ten years ago Senator
Harry New happened to mention to his
wife, while they were eating water
melons, that he had once seen and
tasted a watermelon with q yellow
core.
Mrs. New said that all she had ever
seen were red. The senator declared
he would prove his ~veracity by show
ing his wife, some time, q watermelon
with a yellow heart.
Since that time Senator New has
been continuously on the watch He
even tipped Off his friends and they
have looked long and carefully for a
yellow melon. Recently an express
package lint to the senator's home
here. 1t contained a watermelon, just
as green as any watermelon on the
outside, but when cut, the meat was
pure golden, without a streak Of red.
Thanks to one OF his Hoosier friends,
the senator now says to his wife, Il
told You So"
