WHY ARE INTRODUCTTONS
NECESSARY? READER ASKS
fuSSted Finds Them No Guarantee for Young Men Summer
Resort, bm You'd II Be Better Without Them?

a AOUNG woman reader writes to the
4 a page decrying the system of intro
auctions that prevents very desirable
young persons from making each others
acquaintance.
Are introductions, asks "Puz.
Hled' "a guarantee that young men are
the right sort? At summer resorts. for
instance, I have been most properly in
troduced to certain boys who turned out
10 be anything but gentlemen. I am
sure 1t would be very hard for apy Of
tne nice strange young men l have seen
ana often wished I could speak to to be
iess desirable than those I shook hands
with In the most approved fashion"
Haphazard introductions, puzzled, -
thoroughly realize, are Inadequate 70
protect us from the undesirables who go
ABOUT the world masquerading as gen
tlemen, but do you think it would rem
edy this particular condition any to
throw open the gates of convention L?
1t seems to me this condition ought to
call for a stricter system in place of
looser one-one, for instance, that would
call for credentials in the pocket be-
fore meeting could be effected But
OF course that is absurd: but not any
more absurd than to swing to the other
extreme and loudly call for doing away
with introductions altogether.
Don't you realize. Puzzled" that
the very fact that you have discovered
undesirables among those you have met
proves that the percentage among those
you never have the opportunity to meet
is just about the same? One sample of
the world taken from any corner of it
gives you very fair idea of what the
rest Of il is like.

Method of Bottling Catsup

When the catsup is cooked to the
desired thickness cool and then fill
into sterilized bottles. Seal securely
and place in hot-water bath and
process for twenty minutes. Re-
move, cool and then dip the tops of
the bottles in melted paraffin. Store
in a cool, dry place. 1t is most i'm
poftart to keep an asbestos mat
under the preserving kettle to pre-
vent scorching. Use either a porce-
lain-lined or an enamel preserving
kettle.

The Bee and the Boycott.

Certain Omaha real estate dealers and rental
agents have determined to exert economic
pressure" on The Bee by withholding their ad-
vertising patronage until The Bee desists from
exposing the rent boosters and allied prohteers.
The wisdom of this course is left to their deci-
SION The editor of newspaper must always
proceed with a due regard for the welfare OF
the community he serves, having also in mind
that sufficient revenue must be obtained
through patronage to meet operating expenses.
These facts are elementary.
To deserve and retain the respect OF its
readers, without which it cannot fulfill its mis-
sion, newspaper must be devoted to prin-
ciple. The Bee was born to carry on fight
for good government in Omaha. For forty
eight years it has never deviated from that pur-
pose A. search of its files will not disclose a
word of apology for dishonest public official,
nor in defense of corruption in public or private
life 1t has attacked abuses in both public and
private places, 1t has fearlessly criticized and
boldly opposed the unfit, without regard for
party politics or personal pull.
After almost half century of steady sup
port of the right, of opposition to fraud and OPP
preston, of effort to secure clean and efficient
government, and to expose crookedness and
graft in interest of the people, The Bee is not
ready at this time to give over the fight. Its
courage has made many powerful enemies,
and it also has made many staunch friends, who
we know may be depended on to back up the
only Omaha newspaper that refuses to be
coerced or cajoled into covering up any kind OF
crookedness menacing the people.

What Does Article x Mean?

Article X of the covenant for the proposed
league~of nations, over which so much discus
sion is now being had, reads:
The members of the league undertake to
respect and preserve as against external ag-
erosion the territorial integrity and existing
political independence of all members of the
league. In case of any such aggression or in
case Of any threat or danger of such agrees
sion, the council Shall advise upon the means
by which this obligation shall be fulfilled.
What does this language mean? The presi-
dent explained it to the senate committee on
foreign relations as literally giving the supreme
council Of the league power only to advise"
although he qualified this with the further
statement that this advise" whatever it might
be, would partake of the nature of a mandate.
He also stated that, while the language does
not legally bind the United States to, accept the
advice thus given moral obligation so to do
is implied. And the moral obligation is the
stronger.
Accepting this Interpretation, and it is the
one most generally given to the article in ques-
ton, the senate of the United States has pre-
pared reservation, setting out that this coun-
try can be called into war only by act of con-
gress.
Mr. Wilson insists that the peace Of the
world depends upon accepting in its entirety
the ambiguity of Article X, even as illuminated
by his own construction, admitting the right of
the supreme council to advise" sending Amer-
can soldiers abroad and holding for the moral
obligation to follow that advice.
The senate is not ready to surrender the
constitutional powers Of congress to foreign
body Think this over for yourself, and de-
eide which is better for the peace and security
of the nation-whether it is wiser to retain the
power to declare war in the hands Of congress
or to turn it over to body that is responsible
only to itself, in whose affairs the United States
has but single vote while the British empire
has six.

Harrington, Nep., Sept. 3. To the
| Editor of The Bee: The democratic
press is putting up big howl about
| the partisan" attitude of the SEN
ate in relation to the league of ma
tons. The howl is more partisan
than the attitude Of the republican
senate. England saw no way to es-
cape national defeat but to cajole
and coerce this nation into partici-
| patton in Europe's war. President
Wilson took the English bait. This
the tune of 100000, 100000 and a
good many American lives, and
England was saved. England sees
| no way to escape defeat in the fu-
ture but to involve this nation in a
league of nations or combination Of
powers, which will weave this
peaceful, independent, resourceful
nation into the fabric of Europe's
chronic war spirit and involve her
| in the future wars Of Europe. The
fact is the people Of this country
are waking up out of their night
mare and reading the handwriting
on the wall, and the republican con-
gress represents this awakening and
proposes, if possible, to save the
country from what is bound to fol-
| low. The change in the political
policy. especially as regards inter-
national affairs, has come none too
soon. The tremendous fear of the
democratic party that the league of
nations will not carry is not born of
interest in the welfare of this ma
ton, but in the partisan desire to
see the policy Of the democratic
president carried out.
Instead of the war making the
world safe for democracy" it's out
come, in the awful hardships it has
laid upon the people by the high
cost of living, has made the world
safe for bolshevism and threatens
the world, even this nation, with
revolution.
The reasons for the high cost of
living in our country are being dis
,, cussed everywhere. The fact is,
the democratic administration,
through the collision of the White
House and Wall street, and es-
pecially through the medium Of the
war, has turned the interests of the
people over to the corporations, un.

The Silent Sacrifices
(From The Philadelphia Ledger.)

In discussing the prvations suffered by
ciergymen and their families who have had a
meager stipend on which to subsist, Harry P
Ford said IF the wives of some OF these nler
were to tell of their sacrihces the world would
be astounded"
Drama, romance ana tragedy are not
bounded by the limits Of the imagination OF
the writers of plays and novels. We need
not 60 to the stage to have our hearts stirred
by exemplary heroisms nor to the moving
pictures to bewa the fate of heroine who
may be drawing considerable income tor
counterfeitng poverty
The ministerial profession has no monop-
oily of prvation and sacrifice. While nature
hangs plentiful provision OF good things on
laden boughs or gives them to soil and sea. and
mans selhshness still neutraiizes her best
efforts to feed the race, there will be much plti-
full misery in some places to restore the balance
with opulence elsewhere.
Housewives have been told to "ecenomizA"
The advice makes them indignant They think
it is time for the profiteer, like Davy Crocketts
best They have skimped and counted the
pennies and strained every nerve to make both
ends meet. They have done their own work
and stood over the range in parching heat in
hytime, and seen item after item mount beyond
the reach of the thinning pocketbook
But the most extraordinary phase OF this
transitional economical epoch is the slen,
stoicism the accomplishing endurance of the
millions on whom the cost of living more
heavily falls
Much righteous anger these days is finding
vent; many would like to see the man who
traffics in human necessities hanged higher
than Haman; but the restraint and the self
control of home makers of small means are
phenomenal. Upon that inartic,zlate accept
ance of the "stratagems and spoi1s" of shame
less greed the prohteers are banking. But a
change must come. and soon. The American
public is long suffering, but it is not to be
trihed with nor damned and it is being reused
to fighting pitch against INDUSTRIOUS wrong.

On With the Dance

In his private and tutelar capacity, no per-
son is more awe-inspiring than the teacher of
dancing; but when he holds forth as the Ma
tional Association of Dancing Masters he
seems somehow less formidable. Quite boldly
we call him to order for asserting that he per-
sonally and collectively, is about to do away
with shat contortion commonly called the
shimmy,'" as he has already abolished its
geological predecessors No one, and least Of
all an association of dancing masters, ever
abolished bad taste. If it passes. becomes OBJ
solete, the credit is due to the public. And
the public stands in need of that credit. for it
alone is responsible for the original lapse. If
this great principle is denied, democracy itself
is deprived of its one great justification.
The name of the dance IN question is as
Objectionable as the thing itself. Both have
been mainly limited to dance halls and to the
stages that emulate them. They should be
buried without hic jaeet. But bunny-hug,
lame duck. turkey trot. and grizzly bear had
at least certain picturesqueness. of mimcry
and of nomenclature. America would be less
itself, less delightful If it did not possess them
AS part of its historic past. The dancing
masters prediction that the waltz is coming
back stirs one little, but for different rea-
son. The waltz is divine and, in one or an
other of its infinite varieties and modulations.
it will return eternally as often as it wanders

Need of Good Government

Frank A. Vanderlip, who retired as presi-
dent Of the National City Rank of New York
in order that he might render his country
greater service, in discussing its domestic and
foreign duties as they were impressed upon
him by an exhaustive study of the war-torn
countries and peoples of Europe, concludes a
series of interesting ARTICLES with an emphasis
of what he calls "the supreme lesson" drawn
from his observation; the necessity for good,
honest, wise government He ascribes nearly
half the woes of Europe to bad government,
often arising solely from ignorance. The other
half he lays to economic ignorance. Thus ig-
norance is at the bottom of most of the worlds
miseries. Mr.. Vanderlip does not mean illit-
eracy when he says ignorance. 1literacy is a
great handicap and is responsible for much ig-
norance. There are occasional men who are H.
literate but possess vast stores of wisdom,
gathered by observation, experience and trad-
ton. Nor does literacy always mean freedom
from ignorance Carlyle expressed the common
desire in hoping that "the mystery of alpha
bette letter might be impaired to every child"
But Pope also spoke an everlasting truth when
he said that "a little learning is a dangerous
habit of reading we'll and widely Danish much
ignorance, yet these do not always insure get
ting at the TRUTH and we have highest authority
that it is the truth that will make US free All
our progress has been a vindcation of this
sublime utterance.
DlSpelilnS economic ignorance is no Gay S
task. Interest distorts the vision of both sides
of an economic question. Catchwords lnger
long after they become fatsehoods or half
truths. The patter of the theorists who fancy
they have found "a new light" is equally vain
and dangerous. If all could recognize the exact
truth and all should be willing to shape their
conduct in conformity with it, the matter of
governmen would settle itself. But with i'm
perfect knowledge in the world and with
clashes of ignorant sefshness, the necessity for
courage, sincerity and wisdom in government
is of first Importance. The theories of Paine
would have meant practical anarchy, unless all
the people were highly enlightened and exer-
cised self-restraint But the paternastc ex-
IRENE would be equally disastrous in other
ways. One Of our greatest dangers is from
truckers in office, angling for particular classes
of votes, instead of obeying their oaths and
doing what their conciences tell them is right
before high heaven.-St. Louis Globe Demo-
crat.
