END OF TREATY FIGHT NEAR.

Ratification with dehnitive reservations or
rejection of the~Versailes treaty now impends
in the United States senate. The administra-
ton group admits its inability to carry through
its program. Whether it will accept the pro-
posals Of the opposition has not yet been de-
termined. If the presidents bloc, led by Sena-
tor Hitchcock, stubbornly maintains its atti-
tude. the treaty will fail Of ratification.
Responsibility for delay is now placed
squarely where it belongs, on the "swallow-it-
whole" followers OF the president. It was made
plain even before the document had been for
mally presented to the senate that it could not
be ratified exactly as it emerged from the con-
ference.
The reservations proposed are vital to
American interests. None Of them destroy the
League Of Nations in form or in principle. Ger
tain definitions are to be written, explaining
the understanding -on which the United States
is willing to enter such council of nations
These contemplate only the preservation of
rights now accorded this nation, without in
fringing on the sovereignty of any other or
submitting any to jeopardy in the remotest>de-
gree.
No patriotic American will be misled by
the clatter of the tom-tom Founders, who are
trying to give the impression that the under
pnning is being removed from beneath the
great temple of human liberty. The whole pur-
pose is to make it more secure American
democracy has been tried in the FIRE for almost
a century and HAN, and is not an experiment
Its security means more for the world than
some newly hatehed government, not yet
emerged from the shell, and threatened by the
hawks Of old forms lowering near. Surrender
by the United States on any vital point is to
subtract from and not to add to the sum total
of human freedom.
It is quite likely the president will find his
way open to accept reasonable reservations, and
that the end Of the long fight over the treaty in
the senate will come to an end shortly, with
patriotism prevailing.

Forty-five-Year Advertiser in The Bee.


One of Omaha's leading business men is
celebrating today the forty-6fth anniversary Of
the establishment of his business here. For
forty-fve years The Bee has carried his ad-
vertisement in its columns, announcing his bust
ness to the world, and he cheerfully testihes his
prosperity may be ascribed to this fact. 1t is
not habit with him, but an investment and a
service.
Forty-fve years ago Omaha was q sprawl
ing brawling western town, gripped with the
growing pains that presaged its transformation
into city. John G. SAKE had not long before
written the rhyming libel on its streets and its
Inhabitants, and the stigma was still accepted
as accurate by the unknowing. But in Omaha
were those who had faith in the future, whose
hope could look ahead and vision greatness
that has come, and whose end is not yet
reached. Among them was Anton Hospe, who
started his business life here OH October Is,
1874, with a capital of health, knowledge of his
line, energy, industry and $65. Still actively at
the head Of the great business which has
grown up under his care, Mr.. Hospe looks over
his record with justified pride and satisfaction
Among other institutions he found when he
came to Omaha was The Bee. He inserted his
first advertisement in this paper, and has used
its columns steadily ever since. The Bee con-
graduates him on this anniversary, and trusts
it will carry his announcements to the world
for many years to come

Contemplate BlutJing

Josephus Daniels. secretary OF the navy,
saws there are two courses open for the United
States. One is to ratify the covenant OF the
league of nations as it stands. The other is to
build, build, build the navy" and for the coun-
try to pay, pay, pay" -.
Mr.. Daniels has succeeded again III being
contemplate He is a paci6st secretary OF the
navy in an administration which was pacifist
when pacihsm was the despair of every reason
able American.
He is theNman who assured the American
people that they did not need to do anything
more for their navy at time when the navy
undermined, was about to enter the war;
He is the man who asserted. during presi-
dental campaign that the navy was sufhcient
for all 6urposes-when every rational and INTEL
lgent American knew il was not-and this at
time when German militarism and imperialism
seemed about to be successful.
Now, with German militarism and imperial.
ism conquered, he tells the people. OF the United
States that they must groan under taxes and
keep their ship builders constantly at work on
war ships unless they surrender reasonable
American precautions in treaty making.
This is contemplate blufing. Mr.. Daniels
in his lifetime has not seen the world so far
away from world war. II as~Just fought
one It will not fight another soon
When the world war was being fought and
when America was being dragged in Mr.. Dam
iels was silent except when he was reassuring
as to the sufficiency of the American navy.
Now that the world war has been Tough,
and that merely piece of international politics
is to be imposed upon the American people Mr.
Daniels is out with alarums.

Tax ON Land Value.

Lincoln. Oct. 20.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: Your editorial today
on st. Louis rent profiteers, advising
taxing Of the increased rental value
of property, is timely. There is no
question but that all value Of land
is due to the influences of other than
the owner himself except as he is
one member of the entire commun-
ity, and, therefore, the taking of this
value by the public is only restoring
to its creator what rightfully belongs
to the community,
So why limit the tax to only "some
of this value?" Why not take it all
by the passage of the proposed
Freedland law, which is as follows:
ut shall be unlawful for any per-
son or corporation, other than mu-
nicipal, to accept money or tribute
Of any kind for the sale or lease Of
any land in this state. But this
prohibition shall not apply to i'm
provements thereon. Penalty for
the violation hereof shall include the
forfeiture Of such consideration to
the state"
This will give all the rental value
of land to the consumers, who COM
prise the entire community, In the
form of cheapened prices, through
unlimited competition among pro-
ducers and distributors on freed land
without penalizing us producers by
excessive taxation as proposed by the
single takers. Only enough tax will
then need to be levied to equalize
the advantages Of one location over
another. Even a small tax will suf-
fee then to induce all spectators
either to improve their property or
starve. Yours truly,
MAT ROY THOMPSON.

industrial Conference Split.

Publication of the appeal of the president to
the industrial conference not to adjourn without
agreeing on something emphasizes the impor-
lance of the proceeding. At present the dele
gates are /hopelessly deadlocked on the princi-
pie Of collective bargaining. The capital group
absolutely refuses to acceptit, the labor group
declines to abandon it, and the public group is
impotent to settle between them. It is plain,
or should be, that anything leading to indus
trial peace must have for its foundation sub
stantial basis Of agreement.
Collective bargaining, that is the making Of
wage contracts by groups instead Of by indi-
vidual workmen, has much to recommend it.
To ultra-conservative capitalists it takes the
form of "the closed shop" or recognition Of the
union, against which they are unalterably set
Several millions of American workers, in all
crafts and callings, are formed into unions and
have been accorded more or less of "recogni-
tion" 1t is not probable they will give up the
principle, and the dissolution of the conference
without agreement, on the point means that the
struggle between labor and capital WHY be car
ried on, but not as it has been in the past. The
radical element is making Roadway among the
workers, and once they are convinced that con-
servative leaders can gain nothing for them,
the way is opened for the extremist
President Wilson sees this as plainly as
anyone, and through his appeal may be noted a
vision of worse disorders yet to come in the
industrial field, if the conference does not pro-
duce some result that promises service and re-
lief to the working classes

YELLOW Fever Gone

Yellow fever has been eradicated forever, it
is believed by Maj. Gen. William c. Gorgas,
former surgeon general of the United States
army, who is on his way back from Ecuador,
where he has been directing the fight against
the fever in west coast localities.
Eliminating the scourge from the tropical
and subtropical regions had been battling
fight for scientists up to within the last few
years. While the disease has been known and
feared since the mid-seventeenth century, so
recently as 1873 it visited the southern Missis-
sippi valley in epidemic form and in the vicin-
ity Of New Orleans alone there were more than
5000 deaths. The first victory over the disease
was in Cuba soon after United States occupa-
ton. There the army medical officers con-
Quoted the campaign and learned that santa
ton was the best preventive. mosquito was
found to be the carrier
From that victory the end of yellow fever
could be foreseen. General Gorgas has been
working along the same lines in Guayaquil and
elsewhere in what were the last strongholds of
the disease. 1t will be relief-especially to
white visitors to the tropics, who were easy VIC
tims-that the scourge has been removed
