LABoR's RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM.

The reconstruction program promulgated by
the American Federation of Labor convention
will command general acquiescence and ap-
prevail for many of its proposals, but it also
contains much on which there will be decided
disagreement. This doubtless would be true Of
any list of desired measures put out as a
strictly class program, the significant feature
of the federations action being that radicals and
conservatives within their own ranks were
able to get together on any comprehensive
statement OF labor's aims.
On the protest against treating labor as 4
commodity or article of commerce with total
disregard of the welfare Of the workers them
selves, there should be no dissent The progress
and prosperity of the nation is founded upon
good wages and fair treatment for the pro-
ducers who toll in field farm, factory and mine,
and the advance of civilization is measured by
the increase in the number of people who enjoy
the comforts and conveniences of life and the
steadily lightened burden involved in merely
eking out existence
The declaration which will draw most fire
is that relating to the courts. The federation
resolutions attempt to make anew the untenable
point that our courts overstepping their
authority whenever they declare unconstitu-
tional the acts of legislative or executive de-
partments of the government. Our courts have
been performing this function since the days of
John Marshall, and in democracy the nullify-
ing of laws conflicting with the constitution has
proved a safeguard against autocracy and
usurpaton and protection, and not menace,
to personal liberty
How far courts should go in issuing restrain
ing orders or injunctions and arbitrarily punish
ing their violation as contempt, is different
question. We believe demand for jury trials
in such cases could be we'll sustained. The
Bee has many times voiced this demand. What
those responsible for this part of the labor plat
form evidently had in mind are those injunc-
tons restricting the freedom of labor leaders
to advise, by speech or writing, resort to the
strike or the boycott-not to injunctions against
the use of physical force upon strike breakers or
upon employers property. Announcement of
intention ito treat all injunctions that invade
our personal liberties as unwarranted" and ito
accept whatever consequences may follow" is
apt to be taken by undiscriminating minds as
defiance of all court orders, regardless of sup
port or condition, and if it so understood it
will prove an unfortunate expression.
Labor has made and is making tremendous
progress in every direction during the last few
years, and these gains will be held and further
advances made by following the same methods
by which this success has been won rather
than by trying new and doubtful paths.

County Road Paving.

Omaha, June 20.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: The other day while
in the Auto club headquarters I no
ticed the map of the proposed paw
ing 100000 to be voted on next
Tuesday.
1t struck me as very odd way
to spend 100000 when the roads
ads urge us to work with the gov
eminent on the main highways of
the county"
Main highways! Indeed!
And there, as plain as the nose on
your face, was fully As per cent of
the paving plated out on cross
streets in next to the West Dodge
additions-more meat for real es-
tate exploitation.
Let the real estate owners pay for
their own paving. Use our money
for regular county, state and govern
ment highways. OBSERVER.

The Battle of the Marine.

The common view of the Marine battle that
it was fought in execution of deep plan con-
ceived beforehand by Joffre does not receive
any confirmation from Lord French. In fact,
the French wanted to deliver their counter at
tack further north when the circumstances
would have been nothing like so favorable. The
formation of the French Sixth army on our
left was not part of deliberate plan to assail
the Germans in their flank but was begun as
correction of the original mistake of the al
lied dispositions which made them face east
instead of north. Joffre, moreover, had no no.
ton at the beginning of the war of with
drawal before the Germans, but believed as
intellectually as the rest of his staff in the
chances of success for French offensive As
for the reasons for Won Klucks sudden atera-
ton of the direction of his march from south to
southeast Lord French puts it down to Ger
was ignorant of the real strength of the Sixth
army forming north of Paris and believed the
British army to be almost useless as fighting
force II think" he writes in another place,
that the Germans were probably justified in
doubling our offensive powers, but the thing
they forgot was the nation from which we
spring" But he admits that for the first two
days of the Marine battle the forces opposite
the British were exceedingly weak and con-
sisted of little more than cavalry rear guards;
and he praises the German conduct of this de-
laying action. Criticism of the battle which
lnOugn IL was great victory, QlQ NOT come up
to expectations, is often put in this way; that
either Maunoury was too soon in attacking or
the British too slow. But neither would Lord
French endorse that. He could not close with
the enemy as fast as he would have liked be-
cause of the French armies on his tanks which
were opposed by much stronger forces-Von
Kluck's tactics were those which became ia
miliar later by declining the center and engag-
ing the wings. But it is clear-and this was the
real reason why the Germans escaped the COM
plete disaster that we hoped for-that events
moved rather faster than Joffre's information.
The Germans abandoned their forward move
ment before the battle began and that threw the
plans away. Lord French realized the sit
uation at the end of the first and Joffre also re-
quested that the direction of the British attack
should be turned more towards the north.
But" Lord French writes, 81 do not think that
his information during the day had impressed
him to the same extent with the drastic change
in the situation and the fact that the Germans
had so soon taken alarm and been overtaken by
a veritable panic"

Extra Session Questions.

1t is not absolutely necessary, of course,
for the Nebraska legislature to be called into
extraordinary session at this particular time
to ratify the woman's suffrage amendment,
because there are no elections in Nebraska
this year. But it would be just to have an
extra session some time before the next gen
era election, in the fall of 1920. On the
other hand delegates to constitutional con-
Venton the most important deliberate ses-
sion Nebraska has ever had to ponder over,
must be elected late this year, and if the
women are interested in any political subject
they should be interested in choosing the
right sort of men to attend the convention
and draw the fundamental law of the state
With that in mind, an extra session would
have to be called this year to ratfy the ma
tional amendment and make it possible for
women to have vote on important consti-
tutional measures, the present limited SUI
frage law making it impossible for them to
vote on matters which affected by or
affect the constitution of the state.
1t would be expensive to call special
session of the legislature, although it would
not cost $4,000 or $4,000" as certain
democratic newspaper, opposed to woman
suffrage in all its phases, points out, and to
deprive the women of a right to vote on an
important constitutional question might cost
great deal more than that.-Nebraska City
Press.
Just to keep the discussion from going off
comment should be set straight.
In the first place. ratification of the federal
suffrage amendment by Nebraska at specially
called session of the legislature ahead of the
regular time of meeting, will in no way make it
possible for women to vote in the coming cleo
ton to choose delegates to the constitutional
convention. 1t will not even make it possible
for women to vote in the subsequent election to
accept or reject the work of the convention I'M
less, before that time, Nebraska makes the
thirty-sixth state to complete the process of
ratification. The most casual reading will dis
close that the constitution of Nebraska will con-
fine suffrage on constitutional offices or ques-
tons to male electors and that this constitution
can be changed in only one of two ways
either by its own amendment or by the federal
amendment prohibiting the states from dis
eliminating in suffrage on account of sex. If
the change is to be made in the state constitu-
tion whether initiated by the legislature, by the
convention or by the people, it cannot be opera
tive until after it is ratified at general election
and the next general election does not come
until November, 1920.
In the second place, it is easy to ascertain
the cost of special session. because we re-
Gently had an extra session and the records
show exactly what it cost. The total appro-
priations for expenses, including members pay
for the 1918 extra session of the Nebraska
legislature was $500 1t is possible all of the
money appropriated was not expended. On the
other hand the session was probably as brief
as session could be and got along with as
few employees as could be expected. An extra
session called this year would surely cost ap-
proximately the same.

D EGGY suddenly sat up very
L straight in her theater chair
On the screen before her had flashed
the title:
"CINDERELLA'S BALL"
Ever since her narrow escape from
becoming Red Boards wife, she had
| been eager to, learn what had hap
pened to her fellow captives. Per-
about one Of them at least, the
charming Cinderella, who had fed
from the Turks castle in her magic
coach.
Following the title there sprang
into view stately palace. The
walls of the palace opened up, and
there was Cinderella in her boudoir,
busily writing notes.
One of these flickered on the
screen: Greetings to Red Riding
Hood Cinderella invites her to a
grand ball this evening at the royal
palace. There will be jolly time,
including dancing lessons by the
Princess Of Birdland."
Peggy gasped. She hadn't heard a
thing about this ball, or about the
dancing lessons. Yet she was Prin-
cess Of Birdland, crowned long since
by her loving bird subjects. Could
1t be that there was another Prin-
cess of Birdland-one Of whom she
had never heard? Or could it be
that the birds had elected ruler In
her place? Or was it passible that
she was to receive an invitation to
Cinderella's ball?
AS soon as the notes were writ
ten couriers darted off to deliver
them. One went to Sleeping Beau
ty, one to Mrs. Blue Beard, one to
Princess Beauty, one to Golden
Locks, and so on down long list.
The picture showed each fair
heroine of Story-Book Land receiv-
ing her invitation and going into a
transport of Joy.
Finally all the notes were deliver
ed except one. A lively young courier
started away with this at brisk
pace and the picture showed him
searching through the town. With
thrill of expectation Peggy saw
him stop before her own home. He

SUES THE RECORD
Suit Result of Articles Published
i'll Columbia Paper Last
Week.

Columbia, Feb 15.-Andrew- J.
Bethca, former Lieutenant Governor,
this afternoon filed suit against The
Record Publishing Company, in this
city, and r. Charlton Wright, as it's
editor and publisher, for 500 900.
The complaint alleges malicious libel.
The suit is the outcome of series
of articles carried by The Record last
week under the name Of it's manag-
ing editor, Jack Young, which allege
that the former Lieutenant Governor,
who has commission in the officers
reserve corps as a major, was COM
PEELED to take off his uniform at CamD
jackson by the authorities there. The
first article had a seven-column head
line across the front page which read:
"Andrew j. Bethea Disrobes." Second
article: Extracts from the Military
Regulations tending to show Lieutcn-
ant Governor has no authority to wear
his uniform as he was alleged to be
IN inactive service.
The complaint of Major Bethea was
filed with The Record Publishing Com
pany this afternoon, said R. Charlton
Wright this evening. Major Bethea
has retained J. Fraser Lyon, former
Attorney General; D. w. Robertson,
of the Columbia bar, and Solicitor
George Bell Zimmerman, of Bates
burg.
Major Bethea went to training
camp as private just before the close
