court house which our hasty friends are prompt
and proud to burn, despising cheaper justice

trashy films uplift the high class heart-all these
part and product of Latenser's high-class

So let us greet with due respect the owner
of a mind where beauty and utility are grace

with Laughter and Derison."

Listen. ladies'; this is good. When the leg
isature of Mississippi refused to ratify the
amendment to the federal constitution, giving
the franchise to women, the announcement of
the result was~received with "chee and laugh
ter" The gallant gentlemen who compose that
body vented their derison of womans ambition
to share with man the responsibilities of gov
ernment. Is it necessary to call attention to
the fact that Mississippi is a democratic strong
hold? Plainly the purpose is to prevent the
women from voting; the oligarchy has trouble
enough now in holding down the masses under
its control and does not want to add another
element that might think for itself and insist
on being permitted to express its thoughts at
the ballot box. Free elections? In the Third
Mississippi congressional district a member of
the lower house of congress was elected in 1918
on a total vote of 4,780; in the Third Nebraska
district on same day, 43,Sa votes were cast
Why should the handful of white democrats re-
linquish their grasp on government now so
easily held? They are willing enough to allow
everybody "up moth" to vote, so long as they
are not disturbed in their own satisfactory ar
rangement. However to preserve that arrange
ment they will, with laughter and derision, de-
prive the women of Nebraska of their right to
vote, and then come pleading with those who
have the franchise to cast their lot with the
democratic party!

Paw Your Bills Day.

OF all the days in the thrift week category,
this is the one of prime Importance. 1t is the
one on which all the Others depend. For your
thrift will be of little service to you if your
credit is not up to the mark, and your credit
will not be worth nything if you do not main
tain it through your own effort. Holding on
to money that belongs to another man, because
you owe it to him, is not saving. Perhaps 99A
per cent of all the business done in America is
done on credit Our share of the war was
financed two-thirds on credit 1t could not
have been financed at all if the credit of the
government had not been good. Business can
not be carried on, commerce and industry as
we know it will cease. if credit is destroyed
Our country will quickly be brought to the
primitive condition of barter and trade if the life
blood stream Of exchange is damned by cessa-
ton of credit And every man who purchases
anything is corpuscle in this stream. Only
when he does what he agrees to do and pays
his bills promptly when due is the blood stream
healthy and invigorating. Every subject con-
sidered in connection with thrift week is worthy
the attention given it, and each part of a com.
prehensive program, but all finally depend on
the final one, the prompt and faithful discharge
of all financial obligations. Pay your bills when
due, and you will not only be thrifty yourself,
but will help others to be likewise

War w lthout ConQress' C. consent

The reservation proposed By the commit
tee on foreign relations of the senate for Ar
sicle X of the league covenant provides that
the United States assumes no obligations I'M
der this article, unless congress shall provide
for the employment of the military and naval
forces of the United States.
That is, the reservation specifically states
that this country will not go to war to preserve
Roumania or Greece, without the approval of
congress.
President Wilson refuses consent 20 this
reservation. Does that mean he intends to put
the United States in position where its armed
forces might be used in war without the con-
sent of congress? What other Interpretation
of his action is possible!
No wonder Mr.. Bryan declared that che
democratic party could not afford to go to the
country on such an ssue!-Kansas City Times.

HOME RULE FOR OMAHA.

The members of the expedition to Lincoln
from Omaha and the delegates to the consttu-
tional convention are agreed on one point
that Omaha should have home rule. This
means full control of the domestic affairs of
the city. No one seriously disputes this.
Omaha has been and is now at the inconveni-
ence Of having to go from time to time to the
legislature to get permission to do things which
affect only its own citizens and which rightly
belong to them to look after in their own way.
Not only is this inconvenient for the city,
but it frequently interferes with business of
general Importance to the state at large We
do not believe that it was the intention Of the
convention of 1875, nor is it of the present body,
to restrict this or any other community of the
state in its opportunity for expansion. That
the application of the constitution has so
worked out is detail that may easily be
remedied. A workable plan for conferring self
government on metropolitan cities should be
possible. Our school district was set up under
law enacted great many years ago, and still
is successful. The metropolitan Water district,
established under separate act, operates easily,
It should be possible to bring all the govern
mental activities and functions of the conmun-
ity into harmony.
Chiefly, the fault lies with the citizens of
Omaha. For years they have had the oppor-
tunity before them All that is needed is to
adopt by popular vote the existing charter, as
was done in Lincoln, and home rule is estab
lished. 1t will then be possible to correct the
charter at any time by taking the matter to the
citizens instead of to the legislature. Any diff
nculty that may arise because of the separate ex-
istence of the school district or the water dis
trict is subject TO adjustment by the people.
The problem of home rule for Omaha is not
so complicated as some seem to believe. Ap-
preached sincerely it can be solved with little
trouble

Thrift Day" in CONGRESS.

About as reassuring as any news that has
come out of Washington lately is the an
nouncement that congress started celebrating
thrift day." Such slashes as were made in
pending appropriation bills may not have been
altogether wise or prudent, and therefore sub
ject to some revision. That the members are
awakened to the necessity of checking the mad
ness for spending is the encouraging fact Great
enterprises are being exploited at government
expense, and enormous sums of money asked
for the accomplishment of things that are we'll
enough, and eied, but most of which can wait
for more appropriate time, or being taken up
as a continuing program. The war burden still
rests heavily on the United States, the distribu-
ton during the week of income tax blanks being
an impressive reminder of how deeply Uncle
Sam is dipping into the earnings of the country,
Until the immediate and ineseapable obligations
resulting from the war and the emergency bust
ness that followed it have been cared for, all
new projects should be subject to the closest
scrutiny, Economy in expenditure and de-
crease in taxation is what the people expect from
the congress now.

ChUnQe of Air

The atmosphere must have been both clearer
and more befuddled in Canada since the first
of this year. Clearer because nearly 1000
orders-i council more or less affecting and re-
stricting every resident are abolished and more
befuddled because liquor can be obtained more
cheap1y and more easily than at any time since
December, 1917. Government control of pulp
and paper, sugar, coal and wool, orders govern
ing silver coinage and gold export, trading with
the enemy and interment of aliens and an order
relating to war-buying for the government are
all that remain of the 1000 except few which
have been confirmed by act of Parliament.
This government by order -in-council'' has
been criticized not little. There may have
been some reason for the disapproval expressed
ands inexpressble, but it is difficult to know
where to draw the line in an emergency. The
war measures act conferred enormous power on
: the cabinet winch it was 'qstted d in the exsr .h
war. Perhaps, however, the Borden government
might have avoided some political animosity
if Parliament had been consulted oftener, in
stead of relying entirely on the authority Of the
war measure act.-Buffalo Express.

history of the town, even though
there was less poultry shipped from

Bryan's Government
~ eWSp1per

Mr. Bryan has long held that newspapers un-
friendly to his various ready-made issues were
naturally corrupt. To this indictment he now
adds the charge that the newspapers, which oc-
casionaly omit one of his oratorical master
pieces. do not print the news. He argues,
therefore. that newspapers must be monopolies,
and as he favors public ownership of all such
combinations he comes logically to the propo-
sition that the government should establish,
edit and distribute an official newspaper
