HARLEY CONANT.
Blu Arthur Brooks Baker mmSs-

Our daily flock of visitors is busy and i'm
mense, for folks must come to Omaha regard
less of expense. They long to see a city so
progressively inclined so keenly stimulating to
the human so-caed mind They seek to show
their samples here in goods of class and
strength to gather gilt-edged orders both of
magnitude and length. X
They obviously also cannot roost upon the
street. Their cultured tastes require a polished
place to sleep and eat, which Harley Conant
furnishes with atmosphere and class, impres:
sively distinguished from the plain and common
mass, place where healthy drummers with a
healthy appetite can take it with the confidence
that everything is right.
He's learned by long experience (and native
intellect) to- know and to anticipate what Gus
toners expect He's run a series of hotels in
playing out the game, to one of which he sim
ply tackled the hind part of his name, while still
pursuing faithfully that euphonymic stunt he
named his latest hotel Nthe part that comes
in frdnt.
He's head of the society of those who run
hotels for all the guests of Omaha, both COM
moners and swel1s; those just and genial gen
tlemen on whom so much depends, who see
that those who take the trains have left the
town as friends, nor carry forth a burden of
rebellion, crouch and hate because their cream
was curled their laundry work was late.

Women and Political Parties.

Advice given by Carrie Chapman Gait to the
women voters to get into one Of the political
parties Is good Many women have not given
thought to the science of politics. looking on
parties only as conveaient agencies for the dis
tribution of Offices, and hearing too frequently
tales of discredit and loose criticism concerning
those who bold Office. Politics means govern
n1ent in this country. Fundamental principles
undery the parties, clearly marked and easily
recognized, with sharp divergence. Specifically
these aim at securing the good Of all, and to
dispute the patriotic impulse of either is neither
wise nor fair. Political parties must assume
responsibility for men, and are not infal1ible,
but on one or another set of definite and en-
during principles finally must rest the control
and management of public affairs. Party mem
bership, therefore, is an outward sign of good
citizenship. 1t indicates acceptance of the basic
ideas, just as church membership is sign of
belief in we'll established articles Of faith, but
does not intend to exclude from salvation those
who hold to different tenets, so long as all aim
at the same ultimate goal 1t Is meet that the
women should select the party whose founda-
ton best meets their views and identify them
selves with it. To the studious and thoughtful
the republican party extends an invitation, ask
ing careful scrutiny of Its record as well as its
principles, confident that examination of these
will be followed By endorsement.

Red Gold

In perfectly convincing, businesslike way
Mr. Martens. self-styled Russian soviet 'am-
bassador to the United States, told the senate
foreign relations committee that the reds had
the best intentions toward this country, and his
main mission was to spend about $500,000,000
of the soviet's money with American business
men. The argument sounded convincing. A
considerable number of manufacturers and ex-
porters met in Washington and urged that our
government lift the embargo against the soWets.
They believed Martens story.
Now comes another story of the attitude of
the soviets Edwin D. Schoonmaker, an invest-
gator for the United States government, after
visiting Siberia, issues warning to our busi-
ness people not to aid the bo1shevists. His
statement is clear and strong 1t ought to be
given serious consideration.
He declares that the reds are attempting to
open trade relations with America simply as a
cloak to carry on their plans for world revo-
luton" Furthermore, he says that American
business men who listen for one moment to
Martens siren song are courting the dangers
of financing their own overthrow

Senate Hos Come Halfway

The White House statement that the presi-
dent is willing to come half way on a treaty
compromise and expects the senate to meet
him, is not candid exposition of the situation.
The reservations which were voted down at the
presidents order were themselves compro-
mise, and represented a uore~fhan half way
point to which the treaty opposition already
had come.
The distance yet to be brdged between the
president and the senate is for the president
to travel He has budged> very little heretofore.
What has been yielded has been yielded mainly
by those senator's who originally demanded
very strong reservations. To get democratic
Support and enable ratification to be accom-
plished they accepted much milder feservat tions
than they believed should be adopted. That
was their bid for agreement, and in making It
they went as far as they could go without sacri-
fieing Americas sovereignty. They are willing
and have been willing Is ratify on that basis
OF compromise.
Efforts to show that the president has been
willing to compromise, but has not been met
IN the same spirit of concession, will not avail.
The record Is too plain to be misread. The
treaty opposition has offered its compromise

How to Use Verbs.
BY GRACE voLLINTINE.
Francis w. Parker sohool.

We all know people who tell
stories, relate incidents, or discuss
current news in an interesting way.
We have other acquaintances who
tell the most thrilling adventures in
a very commonplace manner. One
OF the reasons for this variation lies
in the choice of words which the
speakers use. Perhaps the most im-
portant >of all words are verbs; be.
cause they give to our language
much of its force and beauty.
A simple way to begin training
yourself to speak and write effec-
lively is to improve your choice OF
verbs by occasional experiments like
the following; Take simple, plainly
stated fact, such as, "A tramp walked
along the railroad track" Walked"
is very general term that we apply
to the movement made BY people
and animals and it gives no hint OF
the characteristic, slouching gait Of
the tramp. Try to use verb that
will tit this particular case. Slouched,
loitered, skulked, plodded, come into
Your mind as you think of the tramp
and the use of one of these differ.
entiates the movement of a tramp
from that of any other person and
makes the statement much more
vivid.
A verb may thus give an idea, not
only OF the manner in which an act
is performed, but Of the state Of
mind of the person who performed
the act. For example, the statement
The boy went home from school"
can be made much more descriptive
Of his manner of going by changing
the colorless verb went to a word
such as tripped, hastened, moped,
etc.
After you have experimental a
little you will find it helpful to see

NERRAsKA.s FULL SHARE.

The list OF Nebraska boys who made the
supreme sacrifice for the nation is long, and
longer yet is that OF those who suffered wounds
or disease in course o< their service. Memorials
are raised to these, and pensions provided by
the general government. Grateful hearts yield
to the memory Of the dead and the honor Of
the living that tribute they deserve, and the
good people of the state look with solemn pride
freedom and progress
But, Is this Nebraska's full sharel is there
not something more that may be done for these
men? Forty-seven thousand strong and lusty
young men went ont from this state at the call
of their country Many of these did it at con-
siderable cost to their material prospects. They
put aside all their interests in civil life, busi-
ness prospects, professional ambitions, do
nestle comforts, and everything that holds
man to his career, in order that they might
serve as soldiers. Those who returned went
quietly to work in honest determination to re-
gain lost ground and re-establish themselves in
the peace time program,
Does not the state Of Nebraska owe these
men something more than may be expressed in
"three cheers"1 Other states have so resolved,
and are making to their returned service men
tangible proof of the sentiment Of the citizens
on the subject Why would 1t not be fit and
proper for the great and wealthy state of Ne
braska to do likewise? II would cost less than
cent on the dollar of the value of single
years crops to give each man bonus of $l00;
it would cost little more to follow Minnesota's
example and allow each soldier half the gov
ernments pay to enlisted men for the time they
were in the service.
Ex-service men are not asking Of expecting
this. This is one of the very strongest argu-
ments in favor Of it, They served as patriots,
and not for pay. A gracious act on part of the
aitizen.would be to compensate them in small
way for the earnings they sacrificed while they
were doing their duty.

Neighbor Gray Squirrel.
BY ApELIA BELLE BEARD.

You must not think that Neighbor
Gray Squirrel is less interesting
than his cousins of the woods, the
Red and Fox Squirrels, just because
he lives next door and you may
see him any day and every day..
To be sure, like the birds, he will
make his home in almost any viii
lage, town, or park where there
are large trees and where he is pro-
tected, and sometimes he becomes
tame enough to eat from your hand:
but that does not mean that his ma
ture has changed. AT heart he is
still as wild as any wilderness ami
NAL and he lives according to the
laws of the wild.
By making his home most con-
venientfy in our midst Neighbor
Gray Squirrel is giving us a great
chance to study the life and habits
of one of natures wild children,
chance we should not miss.
Forget, then, that you are sitting
on your own doorstep, or looking
from your own window, and watch
your little gray neighbor as you
would creature in the woods.
! See how he flattens himself out and
spreads wide his short legs as he
climbs up and down the trunk Of
the tree where he has built his nest
Notice how alert he is, how quick
to take fright at any moving object,
and how he disappears on the op-
posite side of the tree where,
though you run to look for him i'm
he is not.
On the ground see how he moves
in leaps, how he searches for acorns,
nuts, or roots and then with tail
curled up comfortably on his back,
he sets on his launches and eats
what he has found. using his fore
feet like hands.

are very active And, now and then,

In his letter dismissing the secretary of
state from the cabinet, the president put much
stress on the presumption Of Mr.. Lansing in
calling the cabinet together for conferences
AS frequently has happened Mr.. Wilson is
wrong on this point. The constitution of the
United States provides that in event of the I'm
ability" of the president to perform the func-
tons Of his Office, the duty shall devolve on
the vice-president. Congress has passed law
to extend the succession, making the secretary
of state next in line after the vice president
Mr.. Wilson was suffering from cerebral
thrombosis, which in plain English means
blood clot on his brain. 1t was sufficiently
serious to deprive him of the use of his left
limbs. Only the doctors knew the truth 1t
was necessary that the business of the country
be kept moving. Important matters of home
policy, such as the coal strike, demanded action.
What would the heads of departments of a big
business concern do when the executive was in
capacitated by illness? Naturally, they would
confer together and the senior among them
would take the lead in the effort to keep the
business going smoothly. This is Just what Mr.
Lansing did.
Franklin X. Lane, who Is just leaving the
Interior department, frankly defends the action
of his associates in the cabinet, and assumes
full share Of the responsibility for the confer
ence. Thoughtful persons will agree that the
law and any other consideration that could
properly govern In the circumstances Is on Mr..
Lansing's side, and this makes the presidents
petulance all the more astounding.
