Mandatory fot Turkey.

In connection with the move to relieve Suf-
fering in Armenia and other parts of the Near
East stress is being laid on the need for the
United States to accept the mandatory for Tur-

Bee has often stated that The United States IS
in sense avc-se to assuming its proper share

rather extensive. 1t means taking on the task
OF accommodating fcuds and anitnosities, racial

are some of the points that must be considered.
We got into the Philippines an unlooked-for
outcome OF the war with Spain; we may equally
find ourselves engaged in the disqualification Of
Turkey as SEQUEL to our adventure in Europe.

Democrats and Prepa-edness.

When the democratic house caucus turned
down the presidents request that support be
given the military. committees plan for univer-
sal training, it vas consistent. In 1915 Presi-
dent Wilson was compelled to abandon his an
nounced program for preparation, because
Jimmy" Hay, then chairman of the house mill
tary committee, told him fatty that his plans
would not be accepted by the house. 'Fhis re-
suited i'll the resignation OF Secretary Garrison
and brought Newton d. Baker to head the War
department. The country disted into war stern
foremost, and several billions OF dollars were
spent in mad effort to repair the 'blundcr. In
1917 Dent OF Alabama, who succeeded Hay as
chairman OF the house committee on military
affairs, refused to report the administration bill
for the sclectve draft and it was Kahn of Cali
fornia. republican. who brought in the meas
urc and directed the fight that secured its pas
sage against democratic opposition led by
Champ Clark OF Missouri; who lett the speakers
rostrum to go on the floor and denounce the
measure. 1t was in the course Of this argument
that Mr.. Clark said he could not distinguish
between conscript and convict. 1t would
be too much to expect the democrats i'll the
house to amend their record by favorng rea-
sonable preparation for defense of the nation,
even to accommodate the president.

Another Official Blunder.

Nobody questions the sincerity of the rail-
road administration but lot OF people doubt
whether its heads know much about practical
operation OF railroad. Its latest exhibition OF
incapacty is costly one for Nebraska farmers.
Animated by a perfectly commendable zeal to
keep the few remaining box cars in constant
employment. the administration issued an order
to prohibit reloading at elevators of grain cars
unloaded for them. This may have been for
the purpose of providing cars for some other
industry, but it has had the effect of checking
the grain movement, as it stops everything at
the elevator. No embargo could be more COM
plete Grain men are petitioning for modihca-
tion of the order to the extent that will per-
nit shipments as we'll as receipts at such mar
kets as Omaha. Until that is forthcoming, the
corn trade stagnates. Here is an excellent ex-
ample Of what may be expected in event the
roads are taken over under any enc of the gov
ernnlent ownership plans now before the pub-
lie. Bureaucratic interference with practical
operations invariably produces trouble. Farm
ers have come to realize this, and for that rea-
son have turned down the Plumb plan and all
other vagaries. Tkey realize that railroads, to
be of proper servicA must be operated as farms.

PURCHASE OF THE GAS PLANT.

AT the city election in 1918 the citizens by
majority so impressive as to almost amount to
unanimity voted to purchase the Omaha Gas
companys plant. Several years before by a
similar majority the voters had declined to ex-
tend the franchise of the company. This leaves
no room for doubtlas to the disposition OF the
citizens. They, have ordered the purchase of
the plant. with, the expectation that it will be
operated for their benefit. = .-tt
: Carrying out this mandate the city commits
sion has moved in compliance with the law, and
referred to s-Condenlnaton board the fixing Of
price. This board has made. its report, and
the matter is now before the commits soners for
final action. Some points that may not be un-
dcrstood by the laity are involved, and these
are being cleared away by, the legal experts.
Within short time the public should be in.
formed as to what steps are to be taken next.
The Bee ventures to suggest that no avoid
able delay be permitted to intervene or post
pone the final acquisition OF the gas plant.
Quibblcs as to the price, or qne estions as to de-
tails should be adjusted as expeditiously as pos
sibie. The purchase price named by the con-
dennation board is more than the c;ty's experts
allowed and less than that claimed by the COM
pany. 1t appears! to be moderate and fair, less
than the city could install plant and more
than the company would realize from salvage,
were it ordered to remove its property from
the streets. As 4 bargain. it presents attractive
elements to both buyer and seller.
The sooner the assignment given the COM
mssone-s by the voters is carried out, the
quicker the people of Omaha will commence to
buy gas from themselves

In the Face of Experience

The management of industry by the work

son it is not now in operation is because it
hasn't worked.
Employees generally have won the right to

their hours and working conditions. But beyond
this their management hasn't proved Sue
cessful.
Ability to manage business successfully is
rare 1t usually comes to the front in two
ways Either man starts in small way and
builds up his business through his demon
strated ability to conduct it successfully in COM
petition with his rivals or else the owners OF
the business pick out the manager because they
kelieve he has the qualities necessary for sue
-ess.
In the first instance, nature weeds out the
incompetent, and they never last long. In the
second, the owners, of course, may be mistaken
in their man. If they are, they are speedily
punished An incompetent manager wiz nl-
pair or destroy their investment. This possl-
blity acts automatically as sharpener of wits.
In spite of the fact that mistakes are frequently
made and incompetent executives are installed

All over the worlds in China, in India, in
the Congo, as we'll as in Europe and the Amer
icas, the same system has grown up because it
was the only one that worked 1t has been
found everywhere that the man with the stake
of ownership in the business is more apt than
ANYBODY else to select the right man to run it..
