THE POLICE WHITE-WAsHING.

While Police Commis sioner Ringer has sue
ceeded in procuring withdrawing verdict with
two dissenting votes, for his pet morals squad
detectives, the popular verdict remains outstand-
ing that the police department needs an effec-
tive cleanup. AS The Bee has already said, if
this last particular incident were the only police
fall-down, the public would be inclined to be
lenent in its judgment but as the elimination
of succession OF exposures of police brutality,
crookedness or connivance in law-breaking, it
has opened the eyes of all who are willing to
see the inefficiency and generalization of the
force
How police efficiency and discipline can be
built up by protecting the crooks and bunglers
and attempting to cover over these glazing evils
with coat of white-wash, is beyond US. If
Police Commissioner Ringer were able to see
the error of his ways, he would realize that In
stead Of Strengthening the department what he
has done is calculated to weaken it by letting
every man on the force believe that no matter
what offense he may commit he can count on
his superiors to uphold him and go good for
him regardless. If there was ever time when
Omaha needed good strong dependable police
force. it is right now There is only one way
to get it and it is to be hoped those responsible
will see that way and follow it.

Wisdom Will Not Die With Us

Maj Gen Sir Frederick Maurice. unlike not
a few other foreigners who have come over
here and after returning home, have told what
they saw and what they think of it, seems to
have been an observer always kindly and usu-
ally accurate. AT any rate, the pictures he
paints of Americans and their ways are easily
recognizable which is more than can be said
for the work of some other artists, done after
as much or more preparatory study of the same
subjects.
Sir Frederick, however, has not always
avoided the danger of reasoning from the spe-
ci6c to the general, which, though excellent
perhaps the best-way to reason, gets into
trouble those who base their conclusions on in
sufficiently numerous data. Thus it was that
he was led to declare the discovery OF a new
difference between Americans and Britons.
We, he declares when we hear that some
body is going to talk about something of which
we are uniformed, are interested and go to
hear him. In England, the response to a like
announcement, he says, is exactly the reverse
This is something l don't know about; it
doesn't interest me-"
Unfortunately, there are in this country,
too, people of the second sort-peope who not
only are content with their present stock OF
information, but resent efforts to increase it.
Whether we have as many of them as England
has-that is a question which no census reports
help to answer.-New York INES

Women Spies

The sad death of Edith Cavell has made
strong appeal on human sympathy. 1t is even
likely that the true story of Edith Cavell was
exaggerated for reasons of military propaganda.
II finds repercussion in America in pro-
posed legislation to exempt women spies in
wartime from the death penalty Such prop
osition is absurd enough when one realizes
how many thousands of lives must be inn
periled to protect very few enemies of our
country because they are women. Indeed, it
was woman spy in the port of Brest that
signaled to the Germans the movement of our
transports She was detected and shot by the
French, but we feel sure that if her detection
and sentence had been made known to the
women of America they would not have asked
clemency for the woman who had betrayed
their sons and husbands.
As a matter of fact, the most effective spy
ing in the great war was done by women.
Women spies have many advantages oyer men
spies The privacy of the sex covers them
They are not subject to the same interrogation
as are men, On the other hand, it was shown
in the late war that men possessed of military
information were much more free in discussing
iii with women than with men, and among the
sex from the time of Delilah there have always
been number who were willing to use their
feminine charms to betray.
The spy is an insidious and dangerous
enemy. The woman is the most effective spy.
We must not in the name of chivary, make
her task easy, and multiply the deaths OF our
soldiers.-Chicago Tribune.
Omaha daily bee., 1919-06-26
Who Held Up the Transport?

It now develops that somebody in author
ity is responsible for bit of laundering that is
both costly and vexatious. The transport
George Washington has been held in the har-
Dor at Brest since May 49, presumably waiting
to bring the president home.
In the thrty-seven days that have elapsed,
it might have made two round trips across, car
rying 10000 men who are impatiently awaiting
transport home incidentally, it is said to cost
$4,000 day to keep the big ship idle in the
roads. Thus, in addition to the delay in France
of some thousands of men who ought to be in
America, the country is asked to pay bill Of
$4,000 because of official stupidity some place
Why has this vessel been held out of service
deemed so urgent that battleships were req
uistioned to do part of the work? Was it that
conditions in Paris were such the president
might suddenly be required to flee for his life?
Or was it merely that some courter at Wash
ington thought it appropriate to keep $4,000
a-day vessel waiting idly for the moment when
it would please the president of the United
States to turn towards home againe
In either event the people pay the bill, while
soldiers look westward over the sea wall at
Brest, wistfully longing for transport home and
heartily "cussing" the stupidity at Washington
that keeps them there while big ships stands
useless in the harbor.
Is this the sort of democracy we fought to
establish throughout the world' Or is it the
kind practiced by bunch of time serving
politicians who Crook the pregnant hinges of
the knee that thrift may follow fawnng?"

looked vainiy for aid, finding none.

Sleeping Beauty's prince, who had
been so anxious to cut off Red

striking a blow.

Around and around he whirled Peg
gy until she was dizzy. But as she
whirled she saw Billy Belgium come
from behind a pillar where he had
been hiding. In his hands he had Il

now he saw Billy with the board,
and went at him in a towering rage.
Billy dropped the boar dand ran

he ran in the opposite direction from
Peggy, so that she could escape.
Peggy was almost at the dor when
she met Optimistic Ostrich rushing
in.
"Climb on my back" whistled
Optimistic Ostrich, sitting down to
make 1t easy for her. Peggy threw
herself among his feathers and
clasped her arms around his long
"Save Billy" she cried.
Red Beard was hot after Billy,
chasing him around and around the
ball room. He could run very fast
in spite of the fact that he was fat
and lazy, and he drew closer and
closer to Billy with every stride.
Billy looked wildly for a weapon.
but none was in reach. In despera-
ton Billy pulled his whistle from
his pocket. 1t had brought him
aid before; perhaps it would now.
The whistle did bring aid, but in
an unexpected way. At the first
blast Red Beard stopped short. At
the second blast he began to dance
Then as Billy, noticing the effect of
the whistle, blew harder and harder,
the Turk danced faster and faster,
his elephant feet doing a lively jig
Billy blew and blew. playing reg

Beard made his feet fairly fly.
