Financial Achievements.


A review of the record of the Dem
ocratic party during the administra
ton of Woodrow Wilson presents q
chapter of substantial achievements
unsurpassed in the history of the re
public. For 80 years before the advent
OF this administration periodical con-
vulsions had impeded the industrial
progress of the American people and
caused inestimable loss and distress.
Bv the enactment of the federal re-
serve act. the old system, which bred
panies. was replaced by new sys-
TEN. which insured confidence. II was
an indispensable factor in winning the
war and to-day il is the hope and in
spiration of business. Indeed. one
vital danger against which the Ameri-
can people should keep constantly on
guard is the commitment of this sys-
TEN to partisan enemies who struggled
against its adoption and yainly at
tempted Ia retain in the hands Of spec
ulative bankers monopoly of the cur
rency and credits of the nation. Al
ready there are well defined indications
of an assault upon the vital principles
of the system in the event of Republl-
can success in the elections in No
vember.
Under Democratic leadership the
American people successfully financed
their stupendous part IN the greatest
war of all time The treasury wisely
insisted during the war upon meeting
an adequate portion of the war eN-
penditure from current taxes and the
bulk OF the balance from popular loans,
and. during the first full fiscal year
after fighting stopped, upon meeting
current expenditures from current re
CENTS notwithstanding the new and
unnecessary burdens thrown upon the
treasury by the delay, obstruction and
extravaganza of a Republican Congress.
The non partisan federal reserve au-
thoritics have been wholly free of po-
litical interference OF motive. and. in
their own time and their own way,
have used couragcously, though eau
tiouslv, the instruments at their dis-
posal to prevent undue expansion OF
credit in the country. As result OF
these sound treasury and federal re-
serve policies. the inevitable war in
aatjou has been held down To a mini
niIm and the cost of living has been
prevented from increasing here in pro
portion to the other belligerent coun-
tries and in neutral countries which
are in close contact with the worlds
commerce and exchanges.
After a year and half Of fighting
in Europe and despite another year aud
a half of Republican obstruction at
home. the credit Of the government Of
the United states stands unimpsired,

Conduct of the War:

During the war President Wilson ex-
hibited the very broadcast conception
of liberal Americanism. In his con-
duct OF the war, as in the general ad'
ministration of his high office, there
was no semblance of partisan bias. He
invited to Washington, as his coun-
cillors and coadiustors, hundreds OF the
most prominent and pronounced Re
publicans in the country. To these he
committed responsibilities of the gray
est import and most confidential ma
ture. Many of them had charge OF vital
activities OF the government.
And yet with the war successfully
prosecuted and gloriously ended, the
Republican party in Congress, far from
applauding the mastery leadership OF
the president and felicitating the ceun
try on the amazing achievements OF the
American government, has meanly re-
Quilted the considerable course of the
chief magistrate by savagely defaming
the commander in-chief OF the army
and navy and by assailing nearly every
public officer OF every branch OF the
service intimately concerned in win
ming the war abroad and preserving the
security of the government at home
We express to the soldiers and sail
ors OF America the admiration OF their
fellow countrymen Guided by the gen.
ius of such commanders as General
John ]. Pershing the armed force Of
America constituted a decisive factor
in the victory and brought new lustre
to the flag.
We commend the patriotic men and
women who sustained the efforts of
their government in crucial hours of
the war and contributed to the. bril-
liant administrative success, achieved
under the broad visioned leadership of
the president.

Sleeping Sickness
Brings Strange Visions

Paris. March 2.-Attired i'll pa

novations of the last 20 years, sat
up, pinched his arm, rubbed his

faction, while wife, child, doctor,
nurse and attendants crowded
around him. The brilliant couturier
was awakening from Today attack
of the strange sleeping sickness
that has been raging in Paris for the
last few weeks.
M. Poiret felt the first symptom
of the disease at the end of January
and tried to fight it off, but finally
took to his bed.
Although l could not move, open
my eyes or speak, | was conscious
of what was going on" he said,
while my mind, impelled by some
force stronger than my will, re-
fected vision after vision of clothes,
houses, automobiles - one stronger
than the other.
81 realized the beauty of women
dressed in skins like the Bachantes
of ancient Greece; | saw houses
built like gardens of the Orient,
automobile gliding like serpents
across fields and meadows by means
of a series of joints, as graceful as
diminutive tanks, while my nostrils
were filled with perfumes of exotic
and fantastic plants of Thibet and
China. .... ...
Altogether the sleeping sickness
is wonderful stiinulant to the brain

UNION NOT APPEASED
Wilson Calls on Executives
And Workers to Pick Men,
bers of Nonpartisan Board
To Determine Wages.
BY Arthur M. Evans.

Washington, March 2-(By Chi
cago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased
Wire. .)-Labor has decided to give
the new railroad act fair and i'm
partial tryout. In statement to-
night II railway brotherhoods and
unions announced that although
they still regard the Cumins- -Esch
bill obnoxious, the only course left
for them to pursue is to cooperate
in the formation of the machinery
contemplated by the act.
One union only, the United
Brotherhood of Maintenance of
Way Employees and Shop Laborers,
failed to sign the declaration. But
this body will act at meeting in
Chicago, when it is expected to fall
into line with the other organiza-
tions.
The prospect of strike troubles is
smaller right now than it has been
in several moons. In fact, 1t has
almost vanished as an imminent fac
tor.
Call to Pick Board.
President Wilson tonight called
on the rail executives and the work
ers to pick their representatives for
nonpartisan board, which will get
busy on the pending wage contro-
versy. The indications are that both
sides have already tentatively de-
cided on their men. 1t is surmised
that the employees will have perhaps
Ia or Is, so that each union shall
have a voice, while the railway ex-
ecutives may have six or seven dele
gates. voting power, of course. to be
equalized.
The announcement of the railway
unions came at the end of three
days conference. Although the rail-
road act was roundly denounced, the
leaders decided that since it is on
the statute books its wage-adjusting
machinery should be given a thor
ough test.

Yank Romeos
May Not Lose
Their Juliets

New York, March 2.-Twelve
Italian girls who came to the
United States to marry American
soldiers, but who have been held
at Ellis island because they could
not pass the literacy test, learned
Washington had ruled they may
be admitted to the country for 81
days, provided they sign a pledge
not to marry during that time.
If Senator Calder's bill to ex-
empt them from the reading test
is passed they will be free at any
time to wed their soldier lovers.
There is another chance for the
girls, for during the 80 days theN
may learn to read the required 4G
words.
Each soldier must get friend
or relative to furnish $500 bond
to guarantee that his prospective
bride will not become a public
charge.
The news spread so rapidly
and the doughboy Romeos acted
SO promptly that it was said at
Ellis island four or FIVE of the girls
probably would gain their free
dom at once, despite the fact that
some of the men live in distant
cities. Every man had expressed
his determination to send his
girl to school-day, night or
both-until she can read.
Some of the fances have been at
Ellis island since October and
November and none has arrived
there later than last January.

FIops Over and Requests
Treaty With Reservations

Louisville, KY, March 2.-(By
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased
Wire. - The urier-Journal, a
strong advocate of the treaty with
out reservations, comes out tonlor-
row morning with an appeal to dem
cratic senators to obviate further de-
lay even if they have to accept tile
Lodge reservations. The editorial
in part follows:
1T is now to be asked whether.
in choosing between an immediate
ratification and prolongation OF
the sickening position of the United
States in world affairs, it is not the
part of wisdom to urge the ratifca-
ton instantly on the best terms pos
sible. The alternatives presented
are not pleasant. 1t is no easy thing
to accept mutilated treaty in order
to have it. nor, on the other hand,
it is no easy thing to contemplate
the extension of the existing chaos
into another year.
The Courier Journal believes the
choice must be shaped by considera-
tions of patriotism which may make
necessary sacrifice of future hopes
for immediate peace. 1t therefore.
after continuous championship OF
the treaty without mutilation, recog-
nizes the existence of crisis which
demands instant judgment and ac-
tion rather than have the country
continue outside the treaty another
year. 1t would reluctantly, but def
fitely, accept the treaty with the

Wire, re,)-Consideration by the house
ways and means committee of the
question of bonuses for ex-service
men of the army and navy broke up
in near row today when Represent
ative Freer of Wisconsin, republican,
accused Representative Garner OF
Texas, democrat, OF justifying the
charge that has been made on the
floor of the house that the commit
tee intends to bury the whole prop
osition.
The clash between the two men,
bers of the committee arose over
what Representative Freer regarded
as hostile questions asked by Repre-
sentative Garner of Thomas w. Mil
ler. chairman Of the legislative COM
mittee of the American Legion,
who, with Franklin D'Olier, nation
al commander of the Legion, ap-
peared in behalf of bonus legislation.
Mr.. Garner sought to show that the
kernel of the argument advanced
by the witnesses lay in the conten-
ton that the granting of bonus
would benefit the entire nation by
adding to the national wealth All.
productive capacity of the country.
To that extent, Mr.. Garner insisted.
it would be equally justihable for
congress to grant bonuses to all
classes of citizens.
Hot Words Uttered
1T has been repeatedly charged by
democratic members on the floor OF
the house." interjected Mr.. Freer,
shat the purpose of sending these
bills to this committee was to kill
them and now the gentleman from
Texas himself seeks to discredit the
whole proposition"
THAT is absolutely false and un-
warranted" hotly returned Mr.. Gar
ner. In the bedlam which followed
a motion was made to go in to
executive session to decide upon a
plan for future hearings. In spite
of insistences by Chairman Fofdney
that an afternoon session would be
necessary in order to complete hear
ings before adjournment of congress
