DIR. HAROLD CLIFFORD

His function is correction of the human eye
and view. He has, you surely must agree, i'm
portant work TO do. Astigmatism is blight
which prospers far and free, affecting nearly
every one excepting you and me. and we should
thank the scientist who mends our orbs of sight
and helps us to observe the world in true and
proper light.
But Doctor Clifford has, alas, opinions of his
own, whose scientific clarity cannot be proved
or shown; for he's hopeful socialist, whose
vision long and far has hitched the social wagon
to high and distant star. And who can hear
those rosy plans for mending human ills with
out sensations in his feet suggesting frost and
chills?
But lest the day should long delay of broth
erhood and rest, he's learned the how right here
and now to profit and invest. He's played the
game of real estate with honors good and large,
with fine per cents and handsome rents he does
not fail to charge; for though pleasing prin-
cipe may charm us and entrance, it's out of
taste to go in haste and use it in advance.
However, for philanthropy of merest bour-
geos kind he has large and open purse, a
broad and helpful mind He's even made bird
preserve where fowls which are discreet may
hide from men who see their kind as only sport
or meat For some delight to see the sight of
birds which fly and sing, while some for fun
must get gun and try to break wing.

Driven to the Last Ditch.

In briefest and most comprehensive form
the New York Tribune tells why the treaty is
unrati6ed, the .notive behind the presidents
order to his obedient senator's and his CAM
pagn purpose. We quote:
Why the treaty is unratifed may be re-
garded as now officially disclosed. The presi-
dent does not want ratification. He would
inject the treaty issue into the political cam
paign. SO he forbids ratification on the only
terms on which ratification is possible, terms
which our allies have indicated are acceptable
to them. Turning on his own child, he rends
and destroys it.
Why is there open uiiho1y alliance with
the irreconclables? The obvious explanation
is that the president deems his party bankrupt
and would have false and spurious issue in
default Of anything more attractive. The de-
cision to beat the treaty is partisan maneu-
yer, and will be so identified.
Meanwhile the heart of the wokld, willing
as it is to accept American reservations, may
break or palpitate as it pleases and peace is
delayed twelve or fifteen months while Mr..
Wilson seeks to save his face in solemn
referendum that will carry republican into
the White House.

The Centralia Verdict.

Out of the ten members of the l. w. w. on
trial for murder in connection with the killing
of all ex-service man at Centralia, Wash, seven
are found guilty of murder in the second degree.
Unfamiliarity with the laws and court practices
Of Washington disarms criticism of the verdict
beyond the expression Of opinion that it seems
very mild. The facts as reported mark the affair
as peculiarly atrocious.
a procession moving along the street in
celebrating the anniversary of Armistice day,
halted, and almost Immediately the young Off
Ger in command OF the division in which re-
turned soldiers marched fell dead, volley hav-
ing been fired, presumably from hall in which
the l. w. w. had headquarters. Investigation
and court proof brought out the fact that the
outlawed organization had stationed armed men
at different points, and it was these who fred
and slew four former soldiers.
All the elements of premeditation and wan
ton malice essential to establishing murder in
the first degree seem to be present here. Just
what line of reasoning influenced the jury in
assessing the crime at a lesser degree can not
even be conjectured. AS usual, the condemned
men resorted to every turn of the law they sneer
and scoff at in their effort to escape. The out
come has one consong feature: 1t is vindi-
cation Of the law and the majesty Of the people.
1t may not bring security from the rabid reds,
who practice assassination as fine art, but it
will add another group Of seven to the political
prisoners" Of whom the McNamaras and Tom
Mooney are examples. And some day one or

the outraged laws indignation and be hanged

Between Great Nations.

Indicating his attitude, his policy and his
expectations in connection with the important
position of ambassador from Great Britain to
the United States Sir Auckland Geddes gives
message to the people of both countries in a
speech made to an American club in London.
1t contains this significant sentence:
There are the great signs OF the pure gold
of unselhsh idealism ia national souls, and
long after the hysterical shouting and exag-
gerations have passed away, long after the
false generalzatons have been exposed and
their falseness recognized, the ultimate es-
sential verify. the capacity to forget self in
the service of common ideal, will bind our
nations in yoke of service to mankind.
A common purpose and common ideal has
held the two great nations in friendly bonds for
more than century. These have been greatly
strained at times, but the pressure has disap-
peared as the judgment of the public has found
expression. Sinister influences have now and
again souaF to disturb the cordial relations, but
without avVf. Little family jars, the outcome
of inomentary jealousy or misunderstanding,
come and 60 swiftly and with little trace Sc
rious difficulties have been settled in spirit
of mutual understanding and forbearance that
has cemented even more firmly the well-knit
ties of national amty The longest boundary
line in the world without fort or military
guard is between the United States and the
Dominion Of Canada, itself emblematical Of
the mutual trust and understanding between
the two great nations.
While Great Britain and the United States
are on good terms, working to the same great
end, the cause Of civilization and human free
dom is safe. No league Of nations pact could
possibly contain more than is held in the good
understanding and friendly rivalry Of the people
of these two, held "in yoke of service to man
kind" J.

All Over But--

It would hardly seem, to the average man,
that there was any possibility Of doubt as to
when the war came to an end, for was not the
armistce signed on November H. 1918? The
announcement that a committee of counselors
has been named to decide the official date of
the ending of the world war may, therefore,
come as somewhat of surprise. Such, how
ever, is the case, it being declared that thou
sands of pounds are involved in legal proceed
ings which have been held up pending an au-
thoritative decision on the point In this con
nection barrister is quoted as saying: mo
one can possibly answer the question offhand.
Some contracts used the phrase, at the conclu-
sion of hostilities,' while others spoke of the
duration of the war; and in each case the par
ties probably intended the same thing" Thus
English language leading to lot Of trouble.
When will this fact be impressed sufficiently to
carry conviction to the average individual?-

Sullen Dislike of the Senate.

The singular disinclination of President Will
son to give the senate information necessary for
Its intelligent action on matters which it must,
under the constitution, take action, can be ex-
planned on no other theory than belief on his
part that whatever IS incompatible with his
political welfare is bad public policy.
All information about the treaty and cove
nant which might fortify senators in their op.
position to presidential dictation is regarded by
him as particularly unfit for senators ito have,
to read, to digest, to understand and to apply"
to use the words of Senator Knox. Repeated
requests in senate resolutions for documents
, and information regarding international affairs
legtimatey subject to senatorial scrutiny have
been denied or ignored. There is strengthen
ing suspicion that the president purposes keep
ing not only the senate, but the public, in ig-
noraree, lest knowledge OF the facts expose
his betrayal of the country" in the treaty ne
gotiations, to use Senator Borah's bold words.
What change since Mr.. Wilson said to the
senate and the congress in joint session that
they should know all he did over there; that he
would keep in constant touch with theml Those
were the righteous days of the fourteen points"
later abandoned of open covenants to be
openly arrived at" and of "pitiless publicity"
These are the evil days of secrecy OF hiding, of
lodging, of furtive concealment of the truth
about the peace conference. Can it be that the
president is driven to this resort, so contrary
to his purpose before he went to Europe, lest
the people, having knowledge of the truth rise
in their wrath and utterly condemn him? Or
is it born OF consciousness that he was ca
joled, trieked out-maneuvered and defeated in
the matching of minds" at Paris WHICH he en-
tered so blithely and confidently?

BUY THE GAS PLANT NOW.

Gentleman of the city commission who are
inclined to drive close bargain with the Omaha
Gas company in matter of purchasing the plant
are only looking at one end of the problem
They offer half million less than the figure set
by the board of apprasement, saving which
would be we'll worth while if it were certain of
being secured. Were the company to decline,
as it has so far, to accept less than the award,
the city will lose at the outset $4,000 odd the
cost of making the appraisement as we'll as the
expense of the special election and all proceed
ings in connection with the transaction and COM
mencing anew will incur the risk of having in
the end to pay as much more for the plant
This is the least of the reasons for support
ing the proposed immediate purchase. Seven
years ago the citizens refused to grant an ex-
tension of its franchise to the company, the in
tention then being to purchase the plant and
secure cheaper gas. At that time the company
offered dollar gas as an inducemcnt, with
promise more or less definite of further reduc-
ton III price. Consumers preferred to go on
under the existing high rate until municipal
ownership could be had simultaneously with the
cheaper gas. When the mandate was given the
commissioners two years ago to purchase the
plant it was no uncertain order.
The people want cheaper gas, they are en-
titled to cheaper gas, and it is up to the city
commissioners to carry out instructions and take
steps to give the people what they want. To
abandon present proceedings and start new will
not do this. 1t will, however, expose the COM
munity to higher gas rates than are now be-
ing paid and for an indefinite period, two and
even more years, during which time the COM
pany will extort from its patrons more than the
half-million dollars now sought to be saved.
1t seems penny-wise and pound-foolish to
incur the risk that plainly lies in the rejection
of the boards award, and which the company
has agreed to accept Buy the gas plant now,
and let municipal ownership and service start
with the least possible delay.

gress, Mr.. Fordney said.
If so, the public is poorly advised. The gen.

to political pressure as hot biscuit is to a
squeeze. If they have attained to the lofty
plane Of thought and action where political
pressure ceases to influence them the millen-
