DO THE JOB RIGHT.

A special session OF the legislature of Ne
raska has been called for the sole purpose of
ratifying the amendment to the federal con-
stitution providing for equal suffrage of sex.
This business if done at all should be &C
complished in manner that will leave no
doubt to be resolved in future law suits
That a serious dispute has arisen as to
whether it may be transacted in one day, or
whether the session will have to continue over
two or more days, simply calls attention to
the slipshod practices that have prevailed at
Lincoln in recent years. Bills are hurried
through with only scant regard to the rules
requiring that they be read in full and at length
on separate days, and out of this has arisen
much confusion A matter so serious as the
business before the legislature deserves
more carful treatment than commonly is &C
corded legislation.

WlllOWs Guard Grand Pre-

The Annapolis valley in Nova Scotia, Can
ada, and the country of which Wolfvlle is the
center, is the land of Evangene, made i'm
mortal in Logfelows poem. Grand Pre-, the
little village which was the scene of the de-
portaton of the Acadians in 1775, is only a
short distance from Wolfvile, but little is left
of the village where the tragedy told of by
the poet was enacted.
The chief objects of interest in what was
once Grand Pre-, are the mammoth, gnarled
ancient willows, which stand conspicuous
group, amid the fertile green meadows and
serve as wndbreak. They show their age,
these ancient trees, and were undoubtedly
planted by the French Canadians, for the
Acadians invariably planted willows wherever
they settled, and these trees are perpetual
memorials of them.
Besides the willows there may be seen at
the site of Grand Pre- the old we'll, portions of
the foundations Of the Church of ST. Charles
and some stones that mark the site of the
priests house.
These willow trees are always visited by
tourists, and although history does not exactly
tally with the poets account of the deportations
of the Acadians and though there may be di
vision of opinion as to the justice of the act by
the English in the deportations of the AGA
dams, the old willows tell no tales but stand,
sturdy and strong, and slightly landmarks

Omaha and the Sunday Ice Embargo.

How much suffering was endured in Omaha
on Sunday for want of ice will never be known.
1t is certain that many people were dscom-
NODDED that in many homes where ice was
needed there was none, The day was one of
the most trying sort, high temperature humid
atmosphere, and sultry oppression marked its
course. Those who were comfortably housed
and had plenty of ice felt the heat severely
But how about those who had none? And there
were plenty, because of the order from the
mayor that forbids the delivery of ice on
Sunday
The Bee has no desire to compel men en-
ployed on ice wagons to toll seven days week.
They work hard enough on six days to serve
the public, and are entitled to rest on the sew
enth. But there is no reason, good or bad, why
the industry can not be organized as are the
restaurants, the street railway and other serv-
ices that must run seven days week, and yet
allow each employe one full period of twenty
four hours uninterrupted rest in each week.
Such an arrangement is easily made and easily
enforced.
Omaha ought to have ice every day, just
as it has water, electric light, or street cars
every day. Some day we may reach the point
where it will be understood that the folks who
make up the community have to live on Sun
day. just as they do on Saturday or Wednes-
day, and that the sanctity of the holy day is
not enhanced by forcing portion of the ur-
fortunate citizens to suffer because they can
not store on Saturday enough ice to last until
Monday.

Another Lawless Outrage.

An Omaha citizen of good repute and sober
habits hard working man and home owner,
is in Jail because state booze hound testified
that he saw him stagger. For this offense he
was taken from the gate of his home, held in
Jail from Saturday until Monday to await trial,
and then fined $40 on the unsupported statement
of the state agent.
This brings up in vivid form a situation that
demands some solution. What right has state
agent to assume the duties of an Omaha po-
liceman? The packages this citizen was carry
ing when overhaued by the Jealous nlinion of
the prohibition law contained groceries for the
family, but when satisfied on this score, the
alleged officer proceeded to arrest his victim
anyhow.
Citizens have been grossly assaulted in their
homes by officers who insist on entering with
out warrant of law, determined on making
search or making trouble, generally the latter.
There appears no limit to the acts of these
men, who have set aside all other law in order
that they may make pretense to enforcement
of the statute forbidding the sale or use Of
ntoxicants. Citizens seem to have no redress.
Refusal to submit exposes them to the danger
Vi CLUBBING OF worse by the ponce, while SUD-
mission lays them liable to fine and imprison-
ment by judges who take the fact that an ar

How much longer are Omaha residents to
be exposed to this form of lawless oppression,
under guse of good morals?" When will the
authorities come to their senses and realize
the extent of the outrages now perpetraed by

THO Neutrals' Decisions

Switzerland is at the point of decision as to
whether it will or will not subscribe to the
league of nations 1t is said to have made Of
fetal statement that unless Germany shall be
brought into the league it will not enter. or if
il has entered and it is clear that Germany is
to be excluded, Switzerland will leave the
league fellowship The Swiss republic has but
1 few weeks in which to make its decision. If
it decides not to have part in the league of ma
tons, manifesty the league of nations will not
hold to its present choice for capital for the
league, the city of Geneva.
The other neutral that is at the point of
decision is Holland. 1t likewise has strong
elements of German sympathzers. 1t holds
the person of the former kaiser in the custody
Of asylum. 1t has not been favorably disposed
toward yielding up the one-time head OF Ger
many But the dispatches intimate that the
Dutch will do so, nevertheless and that the
proceeding will take place at The Hague.
Should the allies persist in their purpose to
place the former emperor on trial there can be
little question that the inducements to Holland
will be strong enough to enable them to gain
the possession of the man. Likewise the con-
siderations for union with the league of ma
tioas will hold Switzerland to the league and
save Geneva for its capital Baltimore Amer

usefulness of gold, and In a spirit
of mischief had hurled stones at

A Soldiers Wife-Unless you give
the number of the unit of the quar-
termaster's corps in which your hus-
band is serving, we can give you no
definite information. The units how
at st. Nazair are all emr'" ed in Il
work of getting the army out of
France. AS the quartermaster' S
corps was the first over, so it will
be the last to leave. However, it
would be time wasted to undertake
to get special discharge, as your
husbands unit will probably be re-
turned and demobilized before the
red tape necessary to secure his dis
charge could be unraveled.
Mrs. X. B.-Soldiers who had en-
tered on homestead claims are al
lowed double time on proving up for
all the time they served in the
army. The proper way to proceed
will be explained at the land office
nearest to the land.
Mother-A soldier may be held in
the service for four months after
peace has been declared. The sign
ing of the treaty by Germany did
not have the effect of declaring
peace on part of this country. That

been ratified and when the president

Farmers Organizations and Others.

One of the champions of the Farmers union
in his defense of its purposes takes occasion
to refer to other organizations as being antag-
onistic to the movement. This is the result of
misapprehension. The value of cooperative
effort is too we'll understood to need defense
That it has been taken up by the farmer is
accepted as a sign of his intelligent appreca-
ton Of his economic situation. He should not,
however, make the mistake of supposing that
all others are against him. 1t is only where
the farmers movement has shown signs of
ruthlessy crushing all others that it has been
criticized. Elimination of the middleman, as
is the professed intent of the union will not do
away with the necessity for the service that is
now rendered, and it must be paid for, whether
directly or indirectly. Along the way from the
field to the table are certain stations at which
toll inevitably is taken. If too many Of these
exist, and very likely this is true, then their
reduction will be of service to all hands But
the farmers will find the road to success for
their union much easier to travel if they adopt
policy of cooperation with other organiza-
tons and do not try to establish a condition
whereunder all interests are secondary to
theirs.
