Conference That Should Help.

s A conference between representatives of
labor and those who employ or direct labor as
proposed by the president, should beget only
good. Much of the present unrest arises from
misunderstand ings that grow out of the aloof-
ness of those whose interests are identical and
between whom the closest of confidence should
exist With all due regard to the opinion of
Judge Gary talk across the table is pro-
ductive of far better relations than formal
exchange of epistles, setting forth precisely at
ttudes to be assumed and held Social justice,
characterization of industry, and similar phrases
fill the mouth, and tickle the imagination, but
accomplish little of real service. When the boss
and the men can get together, lay their prob
lens side by side. ceasing to magnify their own
grievances and making an effort to see the
things from the other fellows end, many
cause of friction will be found imaginary, and
the real ones may be dealt with in such way as
reduce them to state of harmlessness
Nothing ever was lost through possible an

Stock Sale That Ought to Win.

One sale of stock is proposed for Omaha
that ought to be success, 1t is the 100000
issue for tile new Ak-Sar-Ben exposition. Plans
that are NOV coming to an issue have been ten
tatively discussed for many years. In general,
the scheme contemplates giving to Ak-Sar-B Ben
quality little above the carnival idea, to
provide something more substantial in the way
of entertainment for visitors, and to make
the organization if possible of greater service
In no way will the main purpose of the famous
organization be modified. Exercises at the Den
will continue each year just the same as for the
last quarter of century. Parades in the fall
will be exhibited as usual, and all the salient
features of the great festival will be maintained
But these will be extended and made more
purposeful by the addition of great exposi-
ton, where all the elements and resources Of
the Kingdoms greatness may be gathered for
inspection and comparison. In this way every
thing that has been found Objectionable in the
past will be eliminated and without in the least
destroying the amusement character Of the en-
terprise. Words are wasted in arguing to
Omahans the benefits that come from Ak-Sar-
Ben. These are too we'll established, and
shared in too generally. For this reason the
job of selling stock in the concern should be
easy. Omaha should see to it that the half-mil-
lion is quickly taken up.

TIME TO CALL A HALT.

The growing practice among Omaha police
Of shooting recklessly and Unfortunately in
connection with their raids" has borne its
logical fruit A young man lies dead today
because he sought to flee from the morals
squad. His ultimate ofense was that he was sus-
pected of delivering a bottle of liquor to
customer.
This is the browning achievement Of long
list of outrages perpetrated in the trough
house" campaign for enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law in Omaha. These have included
entrance to homes after the inmates had re-
tired, forced without warrant or shadow of
legal right; dragging women from bed in their
night clothes, beating women, tearing their
scanty garments from them, slugging men, and
other unseemly and disgraceful proceedings
the purpose of which can not be discerned, I'M
less it be to terrorize the victims of police bru-
tality.
1t is merely a coincidence, we believe, that
the murder followed meeting at which the
paid business agent" of the group that is sup
porting the morals" squad again denounced The
Bee because it has criticized the inhuman con-
duct and illegal actions of the police. We have
no pleasure in this; we would far rather be in
position to commend the police for the orderly
enforcement Of law and praise the good
order they maintain. This paper can not and
will not evade the duty it owes the public, but
will continue to object to the disgraceful and
incompetent management of the department.
Superintendent Ringer knows the law, and
he knows what is incumbent on him as d-
rector of the police force in Omaha. Does he
commend condemn the brutal staying Of
Eugene Scott, responsibility for whose death
rests on members of the department of which
he is head?

Transportation a Problem

The latest monthly report on business con-
dtions in the Eighth Federal Reserve district,
made by William McC Martin, chairman of the
board and federal reserve agent, reveals many
complex problems, but one of the most sgnifl-
cant is the renewal of complaints about slow
freight deliveries. The coal operators and coal
dealers of Missouri and Illinois have been max
ing vigorous efforts to get the order for trans
terrng coal cars to the east set aside. The de-
mand by the east is due to the fact that so many
cars are standing laden with coal designed for
export purposes, awaiting ships.
These premonitory signs of the conges-
ton that has so often imposed incalculable
financial losses and caused great privations 1t
is a condition that increases the alarm over the
action of the railway shopmen. With the most
active use of the entire railway equipment, sup
pemented by the largest use OF the navigable
rivers. it will require foresight and expert man
agement to take care of the fall and winter
rush of crops and distribution of the fuel sup
ply. to say nothing of the distribution of gem
eral merchandise, including prepared foodstuffs.
There is not single car in the United States
that should be idle now. All should be kept
steadily in service
The problem of ships is equally grave, and
closely related. We should have our new
merchant marine put to work. even though only
temporary arrangements can be made. No one
will dispute the emergency who has given the
question any attention. We should not become
so interested in the chase of extortioners-al-
though the Department of Justice and the state
authorities should be vigilant in their prosecu-
tions-as to overlook some of the fundamental
causes which keep up the cost of living and
give the extortioners facts behind which they
hide Without facilities for commerce on the
seas, there can be no approach to normal condi-
tons Nor can we utilize our railways for
domestic purposes to their full extent as long
as equipment is tied up because of lack of ships.

Against the Rack Rent.

Omaha, Aug. 29.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: I wish to express my
appreciation as well as that of many
I know, democrats as we'll as repub-
licans, for your fearless stand in re-
gard to rent profiteers. Their greed
reminds me of the rack renting
landlords of Ireland 40 years ago or
more.
Because there was not enough of
land to go round these landlords and
their agents conspired to raise rent
and kept doing it until no tenant
could support himself and family.
Then the agent and sheriff came
along and threw these poor people
out on the roadside. But there was
another tenant wishing to take that
ones place and try to pay the higher
rent, only to fail and be thrown out
in turn. Most Of these poor people
came to America and regret to say
many of their defendants are our
worst rack renters today, apparent
ly without a spark Of humanity, not
to say justice.
With you, have no faith in city
hall methods. Our city council are
trying to make people believe they
are going to do something, but the
real estate men are only smiling at
such efforts, knowing well that they
can do nothing-and the iniquity
continues to grow until conditions
are assuming a desperate aspect. |
know and can give the facts. to
prove that the real estate men have
conspired together to boost rents.
Get the handling of all properties
that the owners themselves handled
heretofore, and when successful, as
they usually were under promise to
get more rent, Immediately advanced
the rent. Then these real estate
men had no houses for rent-only
for sale, so as to please their help
less victims, by forcing them to buy
at an outrageous price.
This conspiracy is nation wide. as
real estate exchange is a national
association. The owners Of rental
property are playing into their
hands, but day of reckoning is
coming just as it came in Ireland.
The people there, driven to despera-
ton, commenced first shooting the
agent and then the landlords, so that
the government at last woke up and
passed laws for the protection Of the
tenants from their greed. When l
see that the law can protect me I'm
ready to give a concrete case or two
of conspiracy and rack renting. I'm
ready to do so. Let us have quick
action before winter sets In, other-
wise fear we will have serious trou-

chimes belong to me. What do you
think they are?" Peggy didn't have
the slightest idea. "Kites!"
chuckled Billy. "The biggest and
finest kites l ever made. / was
trying them out when l heard about
the council in Birdland. They pull
ed so hard when the wind became
strong that they nearly dragged me
away, and l had to tie the strings
to trees. The wind is even stronger
now, and if we each hans on to a
kite string we will go flying down
the hill and right over to the shore
Of the lake"
Peggy danced up and down with
excited JOY when she heard this. She
didn't have to worry any more
about the flying part Of the race,
the only part that had really both
cred her, for she could swim we'll
and run fast.
Now the noise Of others coming
caused them to look down the hill.
There were the birds clustered
around Johnny Bull, Billy Goat and
Lonesome Bear. Balky Sam was
there, too, his head sticking out
from a bunch of bushes that hid his
body.
"Hee-haw! Now do as ! say and
we will fool Billy and Miss Peggy
and win the race" brayed Balky
Same to the birds, and they all
twittered and giggled in great glee.
What sort of mischief do you
think they are up to now?" asked
Billy. They'll find I'm not so easy
to fool as they think"
All the birds and animals except
Balky Sam came hurrying up to

winked slyly at each other. 1t was
plain they were up to some trick.

At any rate, there was Balky
