publication emitted by radical group of work
ers in an eastern city, This subversion of the
generally accepted philosophy of life is chal-
lenge to the thought of all the ages. 1t is
easy to understand how it may be accepted
by the indolent, the idle, the selfish, but the
ambitious, energetic, and we'll balanced will
reject it, just they reject the inverted moral
ity of tales that have criminals for heroes.
The universal impulse is to create Man
ascribes to the Omnipotent this faculty in its
supreme expression, and notes through all ami
mated nature its various manifestations In
man the effort is not restricted to exercise of
reproduction of his kind but embraces so wide
field OF activity that humanity has been
blessed and civilization enriched because men
have lived to work.
If the idea voiced by the thoughtless group
had prevailed in the beginning man would
never have advanced from his arboreal life, for
then he could live with even less of personal
effort than is now required. He could eat and
Sleep and amuse himself in whatever way his
animal instinct suggested, but he knew nothing
of the real delights of existence. If man had
worked only to live, none of the creature COM
forts that now pad existence would have come
to soften our physical life. Not an invention or
discovery for the amelioration or improvement
of mans situation but is the result of work. All
we have has been brought forth by labor, and

RESTORING oMAHA's sEIF.REspEcr.

Taking leave of Omaha, General Wood tells
US we are city again, and admonishes US to
get behind the officers of the law in their eff
forts to maintain peace. So far this advice is
good. 1t requires, however for the community
citizens can have confidence. That this will
be provided may be accepted as foregone, but it
can not be without some radical changes in
the existing situation in the city hall.
One member of the city commission is
quoted as declaring the council chamber the
place to settle the question, and not in street
corner discussion. He, too, is right in the MAN.
But street corner discussion is an essential ele-
ment in the problem. for it indicates not only
the interest but the spirit of the people. THE
public is counting on change in the city gov
ernment and particularly a new control of the
police department and new deal in the police
force
The. demand is so general. so openly ex-
pressed, that it is amazing anyone can misir-
terpret it. Members of the city commission
should realize now, if they never did before,
that they owe duty to the public transcending
personal or factional interest If the good peo-
pie of Omaha are calm, it is because they are
confident the other commissioners will proceed
with wisdom to rearrange the police depart
ment, regardless of whether the commissioner
who has failed so lamentably to fill the job is
willing or unwilling to take himself out of the
way. 1t is not time for passing the buck, for
minimizing delinquences, or for establishing
alibis. The people want change that will give
them efficient police protection

Around the World On the Air

Perhaps Jules Varne would have cut off a
few days from the 80 he allowed Phineas Fogg
in which to make complete trip around the
world if airplanes and airships had existed in
those days. At least we are perhaps to have all
opportunity to learn how much he should have
cut off by the result of the aerial derby which
is being planned by the Aero Club of America.
This club is offering prizes which may total
100000 to contestants in all countries who
will undertake to circle the globe in the air.
The terms are liberal enough. Competitors
may use any form of aircraft they choose and
as many of them as they need or desire. 1t is
the man. or woman, and not the machine which
is in the race. The task is to get around the
world through the air in any way the con-
testant desires or is able. He is even allowed
to make short trips by land or water convey
ance provided the total distance travelled other
wise than in the air shall not exceed 10 per
cent of the total mileage. This will provide
against the Journey being terminated by an
accident to his craft He may travel by land
or sea from the place of the accident to some
point where he can find another air machine.
This is not simply sporting proposition.
The contest should collect vast amount of
valuable information for the development of
aerial navigation, especially for commercial pur-
poses. Much will be learned about routes,
aerial conditions, the best types of craft, etc.
Also much will be done to shape sentiment i'll

Factory Ventilation.
Ask The Bee to Help You.

The Importance of industrial
medicine has been emphasized on
many occasions in the London
Times. A recent report by DIR. Ver-
non to the Industrial Fatigue Re-
search board illustrates the value
Of the work being carried on. This
report deals with the tinplate in
dustry, and its contention is briefly
that output in this industry depends
directly upon good ventilation.
Recent work on ventilation has
shown that it is the currents Of air
more than the freshness" of it
which matter. Lack Of stimulation
by these air currents produces leth-
argy and WEAKNESS and hinders
work. The employer who keeps a
'stuffy factory therefore robs him
self.
DR.. Vernon found that the out
put in the tinplate industry is af-
fected even by the weather. II 100
be taken as the average output, it
appears that a temperature (ex-
ternaD of 38 degrees Fair. 104 was
the output, and at a temperature
(externaD of 62 degrees Fair. the
output was "a. The output curve,
in short, follows the temperature
curve. mus the output is nlgneSt
In the winter months and lowest in
August
But the weather" inside of a
\ factory can be arranged by means
of ventilation. At a temperature
(externaD of 67.5 degrees Fair. a
well ventilated factory had an out
put of SO. At the same external
temperature factory with no ven-
tilation had an output Of 80 only
In the latter case lack of ventilatio
was a source of marked economic
loss to the employer.
In the same connection it has
just been shown by a committee of
the Institution Of Mining Engineers
that the control Of temperatures in
deep mines is dependent on ade-
quate ventilation. THE Coal Indus
try commission recently place the
absolute limit Of depth at which
mining could safely be carried ON
at 1000 feet" says a report of
this committee, "but one conclusion
that has recently emerged from the
researches that are now proceeding
is that, under the ordinary means
OF ventilation, mining can be carried
on at 5000 feet, and would, II these
methods were extended by artificial
means, be practicable at an even
greater depth"

France and the Treaty.

Some details of the discussion in the French
Chamber of Deputies over the contents Of the
Versailles treaty are now coming through. It
is plain that the document is not more salts
factory to the French than it has proven to
Americans, and for much the same reasons
Efforts to add to or alter its language were
numerous enough while it was before the
deputies, who had some definite notions of
changes they wanted.
One of the most important amendments
suggested has to do with the disarmament of
Germany, which evoked considerable criticism
of the action that allowed the German armies
to retire from the field carrying their arms and
flying their flags. 1t is important to note that
the chamber finally unanimously adopted an
amendment
inviting the government to reach an under
standing with the allied and associated pow
ers, in agreement with President Wilson, who
should convoke conference under the provi-
sions of the covenant of the Leagne Of Ma
tons, with view to the execution of meas
ures rendering the disarmament of Germany
and her allies effective by the introduction of
certain manufactures of war and other neces-
sary measures.
AS the French chamber has not hesitated
to add materially to the text of the treaty, and
on point that directly affects the Germans, it
would appear that they have no such tender
regard for the late enemy, or apprehension of
renewed approach to them as aninates certain
of the administration leaders in the senate.
The French senate has yet to act on the treaty.
Canada also has attached an Interpretation" to
the document in the process of ratification, ex-
pressive of what the Dominion holds to be con-
tanned in it.
The course being pursued by the senate of
the United States in dealing with the treaty is
thus endorsed by at least two of the nations
with whom we were associated in the war. Its
,, wisdom is becoming more apparent to our
own people.
