THE CAUSE THEY SERVED

Armistic Day calls our attention to the Americans who
gave up their lives in the service of their country during the
great World War.
1t is well that the people of Douglas County should place
some emphasis on the sacrifice Of brave young men who surrend-
cred their lives. Surely we should honor the memory Of those
who offered their lives upon the altar of patriotism.
The men who went to their death during the titanic struggle
fell asleep with a dream of world peace in their hearts. Rightly
or wrongly, they were convinced that the suffering they endur-
ed and the blood they shed would be part of the price that
mankind must pay for world peace.
Jingoistic speeches and fulsome oratory on Armistic Day
make no impression upon the dead. If happily they exist in the
land beyond and are able to keep in touch with a world they
loved, it should be a source of joy supreme to them to see that
the people for whom they died are at least loyal to the ideals
that cost them most. Our only fitting tribute to the dead sold
iers, sailors, marines and others connected with wartime service
is sincere attachment to the ends they sought and a courageous
determination to secure the goal which they struggled.
The Omaha Guide salutes all the soldier dead Of this
country. So far as it is concerned, it pledges allegiance to the
high ideals that nerved them to superhuman endeavor. We hope
that the people Of Douglas County, along with vast millions
of others in the United States, will always remember those who
died and be loyal to the cause they served.

THE RED CROSS IS u

The annual roll call of the American Red Cross begins this
week and continues until Thanksgiving Day.
This great organization needs no introduction to the
people of Omaha and certainly no praise from us will add to
its prestige. Its record in times of war and peace is well known
to all of us. TheRed Cross deserve the support of the American
people and hundreds of us in Omaha should respond promptly to
its appeal by enrolling ourselves as members.
The peace-time function Of the Red Cross, as an agent of
mercy to those caught in unexpected disasters, may not seem
important sometimes as we sit in the quiet of our homes.
However, when the demoniacal forces of nature are loosened
against us, to leave a populace stunned and amazed at its fury
and destructiveness, the symbol of the Red Cross and the aid
that it extend becomes of transcendent Importance.
The few dollars that we contribute to the Red Cross is
cheap participation in the glorious realization of mercy and
relief. Surely there are few of us in Omaha who can afford
not to give at least one dollar to be included in the army of
those willing to help the afflicted and unfortunate.
Few readers of this article will disagree with the senti'
ments expressed. Many of them, however will put off the actual
signing of the roll call card and the giving of the vital contri-
button to respond to your better Impulse and make your con-
tribution Immediately.

with a demand that discrimin-

Even Gen. Sheriff. had an
uncomfortable moment with the
point he said that he had no
more right to protect anti-Sem-
itism in Germany than a Ger
man would have to kick against
the treatment of Negroes in
the South. l can't see why Hit
Ter should protest the Herndon

But I don't see any reason
why other Germans, especially
Jews, Catholics, liberals and
anti-fascists shouldn't protest
Jim Crow in Alabama. Minority

they do combine their strength.
Individual protest is easily

IN the Walk of Rum
by R. A. Adams

Here are some of the things
which are found resultant from
repeal of the 18th amendment.
Disappointment. There were
those who concluded that plac
ing whiskey within reach Of all
would decrease drunkenness;
but the opposite is true. One
stock argument was that repeal
would eliminate the bootlegger,
but the government forces adj
NIT that the illegal dealers sell
about as much as the legal
ones. The financial results are
disappointing, because it now
seems certain that the cost of
administration will consume
more than the revenue accrued.
Degeneration of Womanhood.
In the days of the old saloon
only the most degraded women
were found in the drinking
places. Now, with drink sold
almost everywhere women of
all classes may be found in such
places, sitting at the bar, smok-
ing and drinking. And in these
places as never in the other
saloon days, women are bar
tenders, or as the English call
them, "barmaids," with GER
tainty that many such will be-
come addicted to drink.
Safety. Civil authorities are
agreeing that motor accidents
have increased distressingly,
since repeal of the 18th amend
ment and the beginning of
open sales of whiskey. This
is true of and in every
city in the country. And
that it is cheaper and thus
accessible to more people will
increase these deplorable but
preventable accidents.
These resultant evils show
that the best and highest inter
ests of the people of America
have been sacrificed upon the
altar of rum for the enrich
ment of unprincipled producers
and dealers in strong drink.
Again, | remind that tremend-
Gus responsibilities rest upon
those who have brought back
this menace to human well
being.

THE WAY OUT
NO MISTAKE
(By Loren Miller

AT first I thought there had
been some mistake and that The
New York Times had reported
one of Prof. Kelley Miller's
speeches under the wrong head
line.
| still think that Gen. Chas.
H. Sheriff. owes the professor
an apology; there isn't any
doubt that the former ideas
has first rights on the senti-
ment that minority groups
shoul dgo slow on p%ortest lest
it move the oppressors to do
them dirtier than ever.
Mr.. Miller has been preach
ing that doctrine to Negroes
for years. Mr.. Sheriff. has just
returned from Germany to tell
American Jews that continued
protest against entering the
Berlin Olympics may lead to a
of nti-Semitism" in
the United States.
Before he got through the
General was blaming Jews for
Nazi outrages by saying that
they had "overplayed" their
hand in pre-Hitler Germany.
The Omaha guide., 1935-11-16

AND
PARALLELS
SEEING Is

This is intended to convey
the idea of uncertainty, of
doubt, of scepticism. Perhaps
one of its purposes is to warn
against excessive credulity and
to abolish caution. But it is
foolish and self-contradictory
Believing is faith. And faith is
belief or confidence in what is
not seen. Seeing ends faith so
it is foolish to say we believe
what we see. Then it is almost
wicked to discourage faith when
the world stands so greatly in
need of it.
The Omaha guide., 1935-11-16
FAIR PLAY

Unfortunately for the Gen
eral he got back just as Judge
O'Mahoney was adducing con-
elusive evidence Of Nazi dis
elimination against non-Aryan
athletes.
One of the gems he culled
from official Germany Olympic
literature was that advising
athletes that the Nazies "can
see no positive value for our
people in permitting dirty Jews
and Negroes to travel through
our country and compete in
athletics with out best" That s
plain enough; Jews and Ne
cores aren't wanted either on
German teams or as competi-
tors.
Perhaps Ben Johnson, Col
umbia Splinter, hadn't seen
that statement when he adj
vised us to go slow on the boy
colt plan. His point was that
there is plenty Of discrimina-
ton by the AAU in America.
He doesn't want us to strain
at a gnat and swallow a camel j;
but that's hardly an excuse for
gobbling down two camels.
