THE OMAHA OUTBREAK. | Whe Omaha cools off it cannot falll to realize the enormity of the crime that has been committed within its mit; © lack of common sense and he need of taking steps that, will a repetition of the mob rule in impossibility in the fu- ther cities in the mid- west appears to be suffering or to © suffered from racial differences. There may have been reason for the resentment over the small penalties nposed upon Negro law breakers. and ere may not since such may have been due entirely to prejudice, but whether it was or not it canmot fail 1o be.apparent to law respecting peo- pie that the atacks upon innocent persons, the murder of one suspected of committing a crime and the de- flance of and attacks upon the au- ties named to upnold the law and ¥ ~t the ccmmunity te the best of their ability are not methods that would be expected in a civilized com- unity for dealing with such condi- 1S and are certainly not those that could be expected to inspire respect for the law in the future. It will be interesting to note what sort of a couw Omaha will follow as the result of the outbreak, the lynching, the burning of the public building, the killing of one and the wounding of other people. It is plain- Iy the duty of *hat municipality te bring to the bar of justice not omly those w participated but the ring leaders, those who stood in the streets exhorting the people to lynch law tac- tics. and at the same time it eannot fail to be noted that the problem that confronts the Federal Couneil of Churches of Christ in America in its fight for social justice for the Negro is growing larger each day. PROFIT BY EXAMPLE. crops, 90 cent. ef the strawberry and melon production amnd virtually the entire tuna and sardine fisheries. Their ability to do all this and beat out the natlves is attributed to “theit low standard of living. leng bours of industey and close ceoperation among themselves together with. the financiai support of their home government.” It is nothing new that the people of the Pacific slope have viewed with alarm the inereasing numper of Japs. They have been watching amnd bewail- ing it for a long time. but so far as can be judged by the way in whicn the Japanese have bettered their po- sition there has been no very great effort to cvercome it ihrough com- petition. Though there can be nc thought of lowering the American standard of living it might be possible to learn a thing or twe from them about the willingness to work and ‘co- operation that would stop this com- plained of loss of important indus- tries and business undertakings. BRITISH RAILWAY STRIKE. It is a long read that has no turn- ing and such is being demenstrated in connection with the British railway strike. There have been concessions after concessions for the purpose of avoiding the tying up of the railroad ystems of the country and prevent- ing just such conditions as exist to- cay. Efforts have been made to meet the demands but it became evident that it was going to be an endless pro- cess and as a matter of faet the de- mands had gotten to be such that it was impossible to ~cemply. There had got to be a stop somewhere and it was recognized that the time had arrived. The efforts of the govern- ment to relieve the situation availed nothinz. Consequently Great Britain is in the throes of a strike which ties up its rail transportation and involves over two-thirds of a million men, and naturally has its effect upen water transportatien. What transpertation stagnation | means in any country can be fully ap- | preciated. Certain relief may be ob- ltained by motor cars and airplanes [ but in view of tne fact that the public is said to be solidly baek of the fizht that is being waged against the strik- ers and that the people approve the attituge of Premier Lloyd George in térming the walkcut as anarchy, it would appear that the government could be expected to take stéps that {would bring about an ending of the |trouble by imsisting that the trains Imus: be run and previding crews to run them if the raiiroad emploves still refuse. With the effect that it is hav ing upon industry. the danger of star- vation and the need of putting an end to the ynrest the time for taking adé- Auate measures would appear to be at hand. SUGAR INQUIRY. With a feeling that it is -time, mest people will anprove the action of the senate in authorizing the agricultural committee of that bedy to eenduct an inquiry relative ie the shortage and prevailing high prices of sugar. Tt 15 fully understoad that there were Furopean demands te be met because allied countries were eut off frem their usual souree of supply, whieh meant that eértain amounts were al- lotted to the different eountries. It is also understood that ne small handi- cap was caused by the marine strike which, tegether with the transporta- tien troubles that existed hefore, serv- ed to check the amount ef raw sugar received at the refineries. where net only the supply for this country but for abroad is heing turned out. The faet cannet fail to be appre- ciated that we are getting sugar at the existing prices today hecause of ths existence and actien of the sugar equalization beard. But éven the good that this board has done appears like- Iv to be knocked in the head because ne provision has been made for cx- tending its serviees and after the 1819 sugar crop is exhausted its work will cease. regardless of the faci that pro- duction and distribution are far from next vear's crep there Is no telling where prices will go te. And perhaps the most surprising feature of the sit- uation is that this conditien has been allowed to develep in the face of the board’s advice to the contrary. Tt I8 aquite evident that the investigation regarding sugar is needed, if in faet it isn’t too late. EDITORIAL NOTES. Leok in vain fer any reduced living costs because of the steel strike.

A Chelsea, Mass., boy is entering Harvard at the age of 135 and is said not to be a bookworm but an erdimary boy with a healthy thirst for knowl- edge and a love of athletics. All that is necessary is to read the impressions of the president or these following him on the circuit to find out whether the country is solid for the treaty or solid against it. The report that prices have shown a decrease in 15 states is a cause for joy to the ‘residents of those states. It is a fine move in the right diree- tion that should be kept going. The regret over the president’s - ness is natfonwide, both because it means impaired health and’ because it means a further holding up of demes- tic matters which should have loag certainly interesting testimeny being given before a congres- committee relative to the way in which the Japanese are populating the western coast and getting control of the business and industry there.

A great number of p.ans have been submitted but _only al tew were found, afier examination, .to be practical in providing the aid de- sired. When the insurance measure was before the intersigte commerce committee many plans were sugSested to them for conmsideration aleng war risk lines, but when submitted to in- surance experts it was found they Wwere entirely unadapted to working out a satisfactory result. At last the bill which passed the hoyse and is now waiting senate action was accepted by the committee. It was necessary to | keep out objectiénable features which, though seeming excellent on the sur- face. might have ypset the plan as a whole. The bill as passed seems to meet with general favor. It was drawn by the commitiee on interstas eom- merce, of which Congressman Merritt of the Fourth Cennecticut district is a member. The purpose of the bill is to clear wp many of the defects of the original _bill, which naturally marred by inconsistencies owing the fact that it was hastily framed to meet emergency and cover absolutely new and untried conditions. The amount of insurance written under the original bill is said to have aggregated more than all life insurance com- panies. The recent bill corrects many inequalities of the former bill. It con- tains a clause increasing total disabil- ity from $30 to $30 or $100, according to condjtions.. A man's earning ca- pacity will hereafter be judged by his disability to obtain a job on account of some unusual physical cendition | which may not prevent his working with his hands. For instance, it was claimed that a man suffering from a nerve shock which had rendered him deaf and dumb could not obtain work with the same ease that a man not €0 hampéred. The same is true of men who are terribly disfigured, such as having a part of the faco shot away and other similar misfortunes. An- other important feature is permitting men to be eligible between the time of thelr injury and taking out the in- syrance. It often haphened that men were sick or injured affer being in- ducted bpt hefore the necessary delay in filing ‘their insurance paners. The ! range of persons comire under benefit is also imcreased and better provision made for foster parents and others whe did nnt come under the terms of the first bifl.
