Democratic Campaign Funds.

Chairman Cummings says he expects to
raise the fund for financing the democratic CAM
paign of 1920 on entirely new methods. This
is only what might have been expected, if the
committee is to have any money for it is a
cinch it can not look to the old source of sup
plies. Prohibition has put that out of business.
The brewers big horses will no longer cavort
around the headquarters So he is going to
allow 100000 persons to contribute to the
fund. Why does he limit the number? Any
body who voted for the ticket in 1916 in re-
Spouse to the cry, "He kept us out of war!"
ought to be required to pay fine into the ex-
chequer of the party to help it get out of
trouble. If this is followed the chairman will
not lack for means. One other feature of the
Chicago conference deserves notice. Treasurer
Marsh is reported to have reviewed the history
of the campaign fund from the days of Samuel
J. Tilden down to Woodrow Wilson. This should
have been rare, rich and spicy What do you
think Seven Mule" Barnum would say if he
could hear the present goings-on? Anyhow
"Jim-K.' Jones of Arkansas is entitled to credit
for the plan of raising funds by laying assess
ments on individual democrats. He did it to
help out the Bryan campaigns, and very nearly
made it succeed. If he had had more sub
scribers and Bryan had got enough votes, it
would have been wonder-worker.

Homecoming Hospital.

Grateful Sister-The personnel of
the 81st base hospital, which was
located aat Bazailles, have been
moved to a port of embarkatiop, and
now are awaiting transport home
When this will be provided can not
be told. No date is set in advance
for the sailing Of these units, they
being assigned as speedily as room
Is available on transports. The next
word you get from your brother will
very likely announce his safe arrival
in the United States. No founda-
ton for the rumor that every SOL
der and sailor in the service of the
United States will be released on
August l. 1t is hoped to have the
entire drafted army demobilized by
that time, but this will depend on
developments. The war is not over,
and all indicted men are liable to be
held four months after the
proclamation of peace If the peace
treaty is signed in June, the end of
service for drafted men under the
law will come in October. Men who
enlisted in the navy for the duration
of the war will be released as rapidly
as possible. Plans are being Torked
out in the Navy department for the
release Of these men, but have not
been fully completed. Those who are
in the transport service are of
greatest use just now, bringing back
the soldiers. Drafted men who are
serving with the regular army units
are being replaced as rapidly as pos
sibly by volunteers who are enlisting
under the old law.

Woman Out Of War

1T 10 back to our babies and our husbands
for US" says Maj Helen Bastedo, announcing
the immediate mastering out of the Womens
Motor Corps Of America, the trinity uniformed
body which during the war period has been
conspcuously useful with ambulances and other
service automobiles in New York
The majors quoted words stripped Of all
other than the most general application to the
sisterhoods of war, we'll might be the prelude
to paper in which, in the current Scribner's,
Judge Robert Grant discusses the new attitude
of woman, \ by-product of her late strenuous
service. Says the Judge:
Out of the weller of world agony, and be-
cause Of it, she energies the same old minis
tering angel with the identical stock in trade.
But henceforth she purposes to wear her rue
with difference" the war has demonstrated
this if nothing else. She is demobilizing, and
though she may still don her emergency uni
FORM she is giving up or retiring with good
grace from her emergency occupations. Her
net social gain appears in her having broken
in the course of four years no end of hobbies
hobbies both of body and soul. hobbies that
she has thrown off forever. And the net gain
resulting to man is that she still aspires to re-
main fundamentally what she was before
The fear that the world is to be unsexed as
a result of woman's abnormal activities during
the last four years does not enter into the out
look here suggested. But Judge Grant does see
the new feminine courage of the soul affecting
notably affairs of the home intensfying the is
sues Of marriage and divorce. Wife beating, it
is admitted, is not obsolete. But it is far less
frequent, largely because the wife no longer
submits. And this is only one phase of the
difference in attitude and courage in the daily
life which the war has not originated but has
certainly confirmed in woman. Under the new
appreciation Of their earning power, mice wo-
men are virtually protected from airing their
grievances in public: they have only to leave the
key of the fat under the door-mat and Co.

Americas Corner Stone.

Can you imagine anything more impressive
than column of American soldiers? Not alone
is it the strength and vigor of young manhood
in all its glory, but it is the dignity and might
of the worlds greatest people that marches by.
And when to this is united the loving tender
ness of the home, as exhibited by the greeting
given the returned soldiers in Omaha, all the
imposing majesty of America is made clear 1t
springs from the home, and the home is safe
while it has the devoted men and women to
cherish it and these splendid boys and girls to
defend it. From scenes such as this Aud
Scotia's grandeur springs" sang Burns in cele
bration of the family reunion, and that aptly
applies to the scenes witnessed here yesterday.
1t is guaranty of the perpetuty of the republic.

Make the Parks Safe.

The dreadful accident at Rivervew park
brings up another question of city administra-
ton The safety of children while enjoying the
public Fairgrounds should be the very first con-
sideration. Nothing should be interposed be-
tween them and the use of any part of the parks,
but they should be watched and warded against
all danger. 1t may be difficult to fix the respon-
sibility for the drowning of the little ones, but
somebody is to blame for their being out in the
water in frail craft alone. The pond at River
view is small, but size is not factor in such
affairs. That the pulmotors were not ready in
the emergency is another cause for complaint.
Somebody is to blame for that. No amount Of
censure will restore to the sorrowing families
one of the little folks who died in the water,
but the lesson ought to stir the authorities to
needed action

What Is the Cost of q Cloud?

What is the cost of cloud?
In city like Philadelphia tens of thousands
of electric lights are turned when the sun
is blanketed and there are murk or somber
skies because of the dark clouds. Electric light
means more use of coal and coal means money
and the money comes from the public's purse
when the electric light bill comes in.
Some one figured that rainy day cost New
York an unconscionable amount of money,
Women, he explained, disbursed IS per cent of
the money earned by men. On rainy or dark
days they remained indoors mostly. Store sales
were curtailed, traffic reduced and nearly every
class and character of business was affected ad-
versely. Iheaters, movie shows ball games and
general amusements suffered seriously.
There is good deal of truth in this. How
ever there some lines that are benefited,
Persons buy more umbrellas, overshoes, rain
coats and such articles. Strange to say, some
department store people declared their rainy
day business was quite satisfactory many wo-
men choosing such days for their buying be-
cause the crowds were not so great, and they
did more purchasing because they had better
opportunity to make selections and receive at
tentlOn.
In New York, in one of the tallest struc-
lures, the electric light people have watchers
stationed night and day to search the skies.
At the first sign of approaching storm or dark
clouds the word is passed to the great power
houses, and the fremen get busy shoveling coal,
so the Edison people will be able to give all
the light New York needs.-Phadelphia
Ledger.

Harry Hawker's Mistake.

Harry Hawker makes a serious mistake when
he undertakes to nterpose any technical
criticism between the NC-4 and the glory of
its flight He has been given the utmost of ap-
plause for his effort Nowhere was admiration
for his pluck and dash more universally ex
pressed than in America. That he is chagrined
at the outcome may easily be understood and
the world has given proof of its sympathy with
him. 1t would be unwise for him now to per-
NIT his personal disappointment to lead him to
into FORGETTING the high regard in which he is
held. The NC4 was on totally different mis-
sion from the he engaged in; it was not
mere lack of faith in the engine that led to the
stationing of patrols along the way. Experience
of the NCl and NC-3 demonstrated the wis
dom of this plan, and Hawker supplies in his
own adventure Justification for the precaution.

An Interested Wife-The last adj
dress given for Camp Hospital No.
As. is A. p. O. 1876. located at AK
les-Bains. No orders have been is
sued for its immediate return to
America.
Mrs. L. NJ. c., Lincoln-You
neglect to state the number of the
field signal battalion in which you
are interested; several Of these bat
talions are with the army Of occu-
patton in Germany, some with d.
visions that have been released for
return, and others that are to be
held.
A Soldiers Sister-Prisoner of war
escort companies, serving at Brest,
are likely to be held some time.
The prisoners there are engaged in
work for the army, and no negotia-
tons for their release have yet been
undertaken. After peace has been
declared the repatriation of these
men will begin. This means that the
guard companies are likely to be
held till the A. E. F. is out of
France, which will be about the
middle of July.
A Father-At last accounts the
414th telegraph battalion still was in
the service Of supply at Orleans.
No orders had been issued for it's
early return, but all troops are being
moved out of the Loire valley as fast
as possible.
Mother-No orders have yet been
issued for the immediate sailing of
Z. S. A. A. S. $40, but utmost eff
forts are being made to get all the
A. E. F. out of France. The sailing
dates of these units seldom are an
nounced, nor is the port of embarka-
ton usually given.
An Anxious Mother-The seth d.
vision has arrived in this country,
and so the supply train should be
on this side. 1t may have been de-
layed for a later ship, but you
should have word of your sons
safety very soon.
A Buddy-General Pershing has
notified\the War department Of the
release Of the Sixth division for
transportation home, but no date
has been set for it's sailing yet.
F. 1.-The 315th machine gun
battalion is with the S1st division,
released for return home, but no
date fixed for it's sailing yet.

WORKING FOR PERMANENT PEACE.

Omaha is today to hear from number of
eminent men and women, who are striving to
secure support for a movement that looks to
permanent peace for the world. They will be
heard for themselves, as we'll as for their cause
From the very beginnings of the United
States, American political genius has sought a
substitute for war. Settlement of international
disputes by Cancellation, or by arbitration, and
the avoidance of armed conflict has marked our
course from the very first. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, that ready ears are turned to anyone
who promises an end to war
The League Of Nations may be that means.
Its advocates urge that at least it is entitled
to trial. In its provisions they see methods
by which it is possible to avoid war and with
out disturbing the right OF any nation to con-
troll of its affairs except that it denies the right
of aggressive warfare to any.
With aggressive warfare made difficult de-
fensive warfare scarcely can be considered pos
sible. Here is the meat of the whole matter.
Opponents to the league find many objec-
tons, any one of which might seem insuper
able until analysed, and all of them resting
finally on the determination of the United
States to remain aoof from the political affairs
Of the world. This we can not do. In l998-o9
we broke away from our isolation, and became
a world power in reality Since that day duties
and obligations have increased, and our in
timacy with other nations has advanced, until
it is impossible that we can go back to where
we were. We are asked to surrender no more
of our national sovereignty than is required OF
others. 1t is on the principle that individual
lays aside some portion of his natural rights
when he comes into communal life with other
men.
1t is difficult to believe that the opponents of
the league really want the United States to re-
tire within its own borders and remain there
inactive and indifferent to what is going on
elsewhere, holding commercial relations but
evading all moral responsibility. As opponents
of civilization we must take our share in the
worlds work. aiding the backward and helpless,
giving of our plenty to the less fortunate, and
so make certain the spread of light and peace.
This can be done without endangering our
national existence; at least wise and patriotic
men think it may be done. Is it not worth
while to try one more experiment. in hope OF
finding something that will serve to settle dis
putes between nations without resort to arms?

SOLDIERS INSURANCE.
twenty and Thirty Payment Life.

In order to meet the objection to
an ordinary life policy-that of hav-
ing to make payments as long as
you live-there are issued what are
known as limited payment policies.
These policies are only modified
forms of the ordinary life policy.
They have exactly the same pro-
visions and are carried for virtually
the same reason-that of protec-
ton to dependents. The difference
in these policies lies in the fact that
the insured pays premiums for only
a certain period of 20 years; on a
3O-pay life he pays over a period OF
80 years. At the end Of this period
of time, the insured has a paid-up
policy. He makes no more pay
ments and the policy simply stands
as a protection to his family in the
event of his death or disa bility.
These two policies are very popular
with men of fair means having de-
pendents because they can make
payments on their insurance for
period Of 20 or 80 years and then
they have the matter Of insurance
off their minds. They make their
payments during their productive
years when they are best able to
make these payments.
The yearly premium on the gov
eminent policy, on each $1,000 of in
surance, is as follows:
20-Payment Life. 30 Payment Life
Age 20. ..$20.79 Age 20. .$16.54
Age 25... 22.56 Age 25... 1907
