NEMESIS AT WORK

The Kaiser is reported as almost feeling the
pinch of poverty. The drop in value of the Ger
man mark has made such a dent in his private
fortune that he has been compelled to reduce his
household. He has discharged his gardener and
will hereafter look after his rutabaga patch in
person. He may also be reduced to the extremity
OF shaving himself. We should worry if he has a
dull razor If he nicked his iugular no tears would
be shed.

American warships now have a catapult which
will shoot airships into the blue from the deck
of the vessel and give them the necessary start.
To some extent this takes the place of a carrier

of any large vessel. 1t also adds zest to the life
OF the airman to be shot into space as an arrow

Doing Europe by Air.

A tour of Europe by airplane is now quite
possible, and no one need marvel that Brig. Gen.
William Mitchell, who is going abroad to invcs-
tigate the progress of aviation expects to cover
most of hi. 4,000-mile tour by air. There are
commercial lines running in all directions over
the continent, not only between cities Of the
same country, but between nations.
Three international lines now center at Paris
One of those carries passengers to London in
25 hours, charging $50. Another flies between
Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam, reaching the
Belgian capital in ~ hours, fare $50 The
longest line extends through Strasbourg and
Prague to Warsaw. This system also reaches
from Prague to Budapest and Bucharest and
soon will be extended to Constantinope. Trav-
elers are whisked from France to Poland in nine
hours, and to the capital of Czecho-Slovakia in
six hours The cost is said to be less than for
sleeping car accommodations. Frontier guards
and all the annoying formalities of passing from
one country to the next do not touch the aerial
passengers.
The French are operating $3.50 miles of air
lines In the first six months of this year 1888
passengers were carried, $4,000 pounds of pack
ages and 5000 pounds of mail. The mileage
covered is computed at $4,000 miles. There are
also several colonial lines, of them extending
from Toulouse across the Mediterranean TO
Morocco.
Th. single example is enough to indicate
how far the United States is behindhand in the
development of commercial aviation. Much good
may be expected from the tour Of investigation
of General Mitchell, who as assistant chief OF the
army air service is already more than enthusiastic
over the possibilities Of air navigation.

teercd the water to fill Il and the electricity TO
light it. Everybody is looking out for the chill
dren. Even those who are childless are heard to
say that they are fond OF ehildren-other peoples
children.
This Is sometimes called the century Of the
child. Certainly the young are being given fuller
opportunity for life and better possibilities for de-
velopment than ever before. Interest in the new
generation is so universal as to make its welfare
a public matter The public schools are main
tanned by taxes collected from all, irrespective
of whether or not they have children, yet no
bachelor or spinster has been heard TO complain
of this as unjust. If children 60 hungry, even
though they may be in an enemy land the con-
Germ is worldwide 1t has not been century
since parents in factory towns sent children of
kindergarten age to work at sunrise Though the
mill owners kept them toiling for IL hours, it
was not considered matter in which anyone but
the parents and the employers were concerned.
Now there are laws forbidding child labor some
of which may be fairly accused of going too far
and preventing normal boyish activity during
school vacations.
The public has taken the children under its
wing. If fathers or mothers neglect their Off
spring or are cruel to them, the public steps in.
If social conditions are such as to make it inn
possible for fathers to feed or care for their off
spring, then public interest in questions of en-
ployment. housing and wages naturally is evoked.
They may be other peoples children, but, just
as in the incident OF the safe skating rink at
Kearney, the hearts of all go out to them.

Don't Talk Too Much.

Some men talk too much in their
homes about the business OF their

business matters OF the firm which

suit that the employe Is not trusted

appear close to the inner councils OF
the firm by which they are en-.
ployed, and such men often make
statements to their friends about
the firm which are harmful and un-
true.
A man OF this sort will not be en-
trusted with important work or
mission.
The business OF an employer
should be held sacred by his men,
Business matters should never be

A strict adherence to this prin-
ciple is necessary to lasting success

Ireland for the Irish

Ii advices from Dublin be predicated on sound
information, and Dali Eircann has determined
to ratity the treaty whereby the Free State of
lreiand 10 established. the hope of a very large
proportion OF the people of the world is realized
Whatever OF sympathy may have been felt for
one or the other OF the factions the general mass
OF opinion has been and is that what the Irish
will be content with will be taken by outsiders
as reasonable settlement Mr. de Valeras as
sertion that it will be accepted by war-weary
people as temporary relief may be prophetic, yet
Arthur Griffith has as much reason to assert
that it is the freedom for which the Irish have
contended, and that the oath of allegiance is such
as any lrshman may with honor take
Ulster will present rather difficult comp-
cation yet one not insuperable. Carson and
Craig will persist until they have attained some
further concessions but the threat of civil war is
not so formidable as it was in 1914. A lot of
water has run under the bridge since then and
none is better aware of the changes that have
taken place than Sir Edward Carson. Sim Fein
has penetrated the counties of Ulster to such
an extent that it is uncertain that popular vote
would not show majority against the Carson
faction Be that as it may it is reasonable to be-
INV Tic PCoPlc VI ISluldSl, DOUeRdl, IdVdn
Londonderry, Armagh and Down are as war
weary as any elsewhere in Ireland, and if those
OF Antrim prefer to go ahead with the strife, they
will be lonesome as we'll as contulnacious
Griffith and Collins speak for the world as
we'll as for Ireland in expressing their belief
that peace and prosperity will follow the new ar
rangement. 1t is too much to expect that the
1rshman who pinned his faith to the Irish re-
public will Immediately give over his longing
for the humiliation of England. Yet in a land
where a rejuvenated nation is working out its
destiny, hopefully and successfully. it will take
more than an imaginary grievance or the call of
an injury done long ago to inspire sense of in
justice sufficient to arouse the people to revolt
on scale big enough to be called rebellion.
Given economic stability Ireland will be able to
handle its own politics in its own way. That its
national life will always be interesting is certain,
that it will be useful is equally assured and that
it will be in the hands of the Irish is finally the
most satisfying conclusion of all.

Credulity: Crime or Comfort.

British astrologers pretend to see many dire
disasters hanging over trouble world, the fruit
of the incoming year. Under the horoscope they
have prepared battle, murder and sudden death
is to be the common portion of humanity for the
next twelve months and then things will get
worse. Within eight years Armageddon really
is to be fought All the terrible things that have
happened are but the prelude to what is coming
This would be important if true, the principal
effect of which is that lot of people will be-
lieve it..
Just before the great war broke out, the world
was supposed to be quite materialstic. Even
science had to produce ponderable proof of its
claims. The train of discoveries that accompanied
radiurn disturbed all accepted notions of matter,
but they were mostly denonstrabe, and as such
had proper place in the accumulating mass of
general and dependable knowledge. An unex-
pected effect grew out of this experience. As
material nature yielded more and more to the
questioning of man, speculation took on new
forms, and it was very easy to transfer this from
the realm of the actual to that of the unreal Ad-
mitted ignorance of what actually goes on in
certain great zones, wherein activity must exist
in order to prove what can be demonstrated sup
ported the contention of the most daring of
claimants, and no assertion dealing with things
back of the untitled curtain has been too absurd
or too magnificent to want supporters.
So the astrologer has come into his own
again, and no matter what he sets forth, he will
have believers and as far as that goes, those
who follow him will have quite as much COM
fort from their devotion as will be the lot Of
others who believe in something else. Creduhty
may be crime, q it may be comfort. In a
time when everything else is in state OF fuS, it

France Takes Small Navy.

Whatever motive may have actuated France in
its announcement of an extensive naval program,
or whether its delegation at Washington acted
without knowledge of Paris, later developments
show the French to be not without reasonable
perspective. Agreement to accept naval ap
portionment of Hs,000 tons, or half the proposed
construction program, with the hope of replacing
its obsolete warships over term of twenty-five
years, will set the republic in position of real
strength among its associates The navies of the
United States, England and Japan will take care
OF any legitimate use to which navy can be put
in time Of peace, while France and Italy, with
small existing force may easily maintain such
national dignity as must have support of vessels
actually aAoat
This happy turn in what looked like serious
situation will permit the conference to go ahead
with the discussion of the really vital Pacific
questions. Intimations that Japan and China are
making progress with their conversations sup
ports the belief that the great gathering is
destined to accomplish all it set out to achieve.
The only disappointment likely to be sustained
BY any will be the portion of those devoted ad-
vocates of the Wilson league, who have so far
sustained themselves with the thought that out of
the Harding conference would emerge something
that would take the United States openly to
Geneva, with an application for membership.
Along with this, it is not amiss to note that
Poland and Czecho-Slovakia specify in their
treaty of alliance that differences between them
requiring arbitration are to be taken to the Hague.

Disappointments Of Freedom.

The rioting with which a meeting of Armen-
ians in Detroit broke up typihes the difference
OF opinion that exists in most of the small lands
which emerged as nations after war. Words
sometimes fail to express the conflict OF thought
and violent settlement is resorted to. Having
been dominated so long by others the liberated
peoples naturally would be slow to acquire full
ability to govern themselves. The condition Of
these new nations is described by one observer
a. follows: "a nervous exaggeration OF distrust,
fear. self-pity, seli-giorihcation and self
righteousness, accentuated by propaganda and
militarism. and complicated by social unrest"
One cause Of internal turmoil undoubtedly is
the discovery that the acquisition of political
freedom does not bring about any great economic
benefits The mere ability to choose their own

from the excitement OF city life?
1t is well for country children to
have occasional glimpses of city

Letters to the Editor
ga Poor Mans Diet v

North Platte, Neb Dec. 15-To the Editor
OF The Bee: Your EDITORIAL "a Poor Mans
Diet" does not in my opinion, show a clear
grasp of the situation confronting the tax
payers of this state. We all known that half the
taxes pay go for education, but the question
is are we getting value received? 1t is clear to
everyone that we spending much for edu-
cation all the rest OF the civilized world com
bined and yet we are nowhere near the top in
educational supremacy
1t is not the million dollar school house or
the large salary which makes students; 1t is the
amount OF useful knowledge we are able to I'M
part to them and make them retain through
life. But it seems are satisfied to point to
the fabulous amount Of money spent and rest
our case on this alone. Why is it, Mr.. Editor,
that we produced better scholars 20 years ago
than we do now, and why Is 1T that the rural
grade student, with a teacher without normal or
university training, is farther advanced and
ahead of the pupils in the same grade in our city
tonal purposes, are throwing it away with
reckless abandon. We care nothing for the sub
ject matter; it is the style OF the text book
which meets approval. We all admire the
children and want them properly cared for in all
matters, but we surely cannot bankrupt the tax
payer and see both him and his children lose
their property through taxation for the privilege
of showing the e'.ormous amount we are spend
ing education
At the present time in some counties half of
the land is for sale in order to pay the taxes
and school warrants unpaid for more than
year, and when realize that all public I'M
provements and the cost OF our state and city
governments has to be paid by the property
owners, which are largely small farmers in this
state we should pause little before we decide
to bleed him white in mad race to see how
much money we can spend and when the stun
a farmer produces cannot support his family and
pay his taxes, which are about double what they
were few years ago. it might be we'll for us
all to try the poor mans diet until we get on
our feet again or we may find out when too late
the folly of taxing people to death.
Mr.. Neville may be playing politics and, al
though acquainted with him, do not agree with
him politically, but in this instance he is abso-
lutely correct in advocating poor mans diet
all around until the time comes when we can get
out of the shadow of bankruptcy, which, through
enormous taxation, is creeping closer every day
to the farmers door. JOHN DANlDSON.
