A RETURN TO SAVAGERY.
It is b horrible story which comes from the cosl
mint fields of southern Illinois, telling of ths break
ing down of Isw and order, the enthronement of ssv
lry, the killing, ths wounding and ths torture of
men.
Reports of this battle read like events in No
Msn's Land, 1914-1918. Snipers of the strikers'
forces took positions of ventage in trees and on hill
tops, whence they picked off mine guards and non
union workers massed in ths pits below. Forty-four
nonunion men were csptured and sixteen of these are
reported massacred while captives, the excuse being
that they tried to escape. One of the sixteen wss
besten to death, another hung from a tree, the others
shot
This is not a strike of workers against their em
ployers. This Is a blow by revolutionists against gov
ernment. It can not be condoned. It can not be
tolerated.
' The ssfety of one hundred million people, in this
country depends upon respect for and maintenance
of the law. The law must be upheld against its vio
lation by a large group of citizens no less than against
its breaking by s Fred Brown. There can be no mid
dle ground.
The law is not a tyrant not n this country of
Free speech and universal suffrage. The law is what
the people make it. It can be made into whatever
' they want it As it Is outgrown from time to time it
nay be changed, changed by .orderly process without
revolution. That is the great glory and the great op
portunity of a democratic form of government
t Defiance of the law is just that and nothing less,
Bo matter what the merit of the particular contro-
. versy which leads to its defiance, no matter what
may be the need for changes in the law to meet a
new situation. Defiance of the law in a manner and
to the extent of that in Illinois Wednesday night and
. Thursday is a threat against the right of every man,
woman and child to live in safety. If men take the
law into their own hands, if they beat and hang and
. kill as they at the moment see fit to do, then is is
but one step to the breakdown of government. The
i inly difference between the riot in southern Illinois
' and revolution is one of numbers.
A WOMAN CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR.
' What does a woman candidate for the United
States senate think about? There has been a good
leal of pleasant gossip about the nomination of Mrs.
Anna Dickie Olesen for United States senator on
the democratic ticket in Minnesota, but very little
concerning her political views. Miss Jeanette Rankin,
who ran for senator on an independent ticket in
Montana two years ago, was a bit of a'radlcal, and
there may be some curiosity whether Mrs. Olesen will
lean in that direction or tend to the more conserva
tive course of Miss Alice Robertson, the lady from
. Oklahoma.
These are the things she announces she will work
for: Repeal of the Esch-Cummins railroad act; re
opening of the Newberry case, passage of the sol
diers' bonus and a lower tariff bill. The radical ele
ment in Minnesota will have to turn to the farmer
labor candidate, Dr. Henrik Shipstead, while the con
servatives will be wooed by Senator Kellog. The
woman candidate occupies the middle ground.
As time goes on, voters may expect to see more
women candidates for high office. Mrs. Olesen can
see no reason why some day there should not be a
woman president. "Just as soon as the people of
this country find a woman whom they believe big
enough for the job they will put her up for that ex-
alted office and elect her," she said the other day.
Anything is possible, and it would be difficult to
s enumerate reasons why a woman could not make a
good president. But after Mrs. Olesen wins a seat
- in the senate will be soon enough to regard that ques-
:. tion seriously.
AMERICA TO EUROPE.
It is refreshing to discover a foreign observer
who understands America's attitude toward the jang
ling states of Europe. Such an one is Francis W.
Hirst the noted English economist who lately toured
th6 United States. He writes in the Yale Review:
.It has now keen made clear that the American
government will not participate in the recon
struction of Europe until the states of Europe
have shown a willingness to help themselves.
This attitude is logical and, I believe, perfectly
- sound. The Americans have shown their phil
anthropy by a splendid effort to relieve the famine
in Russia; but why should they lend money to
Europe, or entertain any scheme for the reduc-
tlon of war debts, so long as their money and
' their credit are certain to be thrown Into a pool
of bottomless deficiency, or frittered away on
; preparations for another war?
": The idea, spread by advocates in congress and
. out that America would or could restore Europe by
the sacrifice of its own national principles, men and
wealth, has done as much as anything else to delay
. the inevitable day when these racked and impover-
7 iahed states cease their selfish quarrels and buckle
.down to peace and labor.

of rural survival, ths hen, is abandoned.
FRESH EGGS IN THE CITIES.
1 , In the background, one of the expensive and
i therefore exclusive apartment houses of the city. Its
grassy court and trim walk provide a purely formal
Betting; this, it seems to say, is the city.
But from behind the shrubbery a hen leads eleven'
chicks. They scratch for bugs and worms as much
at ease as if in any barnyard. The city means noth
ing to them, and a bog is a bug, wherever found.
Who did they belong to? Was some fashionable
cliff dweller reducing the cost of living by poultry
farming? Someone in the neighborhood at least was
making sure of a supply of fresh eggs and broilers.
You can't keep a pig or 4 cow in the city, any mote,
but chickens still have the entree. In a building ten
; feat square and on a very few square yards of ground
enough chickens can be raised to supply the needs
pt a family.

A DOLLAR'S WORTH, NOW AND THEN.
Prices seem fairly well composed juit now, but
sines last December the total cost of living has de
clined 4.2 per cent, according; to the eitimste of tho
federal bureau of labor statistics. From the high
old times of June, 1920, to March, 1923, the fall
wss 22.9 per cent While congatulsting ourselves
on that the fact remains thst the present cost of Uv
Ing is in the neighborhood of 66 per cent above tho
prewar level of 1913.
Those days were not appreciated until they
psssed. Tho dollar thst then bought 8.9 pounds of
sirloin now only brings home 2.8 pounds. Pork chops
thst cams 4.8 pounds for a dollar have shrunk to 3.2
pounds. A full pound hai likewise been carved off
dollar purchase of bacon. A dollar's worth of butter
in 19 IS is estlmsted by the federal bureau at 2.6
pounds and now, 2.2 pounds. Milk, once sold at 11.2
quarts for a dollar, now averages 7.7 quarts. Instead
of 17.9 pounds of breed, there are now 11.5 pounds,
and instead of 80.3 pounds of flour, only 18.9. To
judge by this sUtlitical finding, the chespest item
of diet now is eggs; in 1913 the dollar exchanged
for 2.9 dozen, whereas now one gets 8.1 dozen.
After all, the price level does not make a great
deal of difference; it is the balance between wages
and the cost of living thst really matters. Some of
us msy begin to suspect that complaint.of the high
cost of living when employment was plentiful and
wages high was ill advised.
A BENEFIT TO COUNCIL BLUFFS.
Council Bluffs at last is to have its downtown
"loop," agitation for which was inaugurated before
the war.
Some five years sgo, when automobiles first were
beginning to present a serious traffic problem, pres
sure was brought to bear on the street csr company
to construct a single track on Main street from the
Pearl and Main junction.
As automobile traffic Increased, further efforts
were made to abandon switching of street cars at
Pearl and Broadway and route all northbound tram
cars on Main street, but officials of the street car
company maintained the time was not yet ripe for
such a move.
At the last meeting of the city council, however.
counsel for the tramway corporation informed the
councilmen the plan for the downtown loop has met
with the approval of the company.
This move will mark one of the most important
improvements for the business district of Council
Bluffs in recent years. Pearl street, as a thorough
fare except for street cars, has too long been a
hazard, while merchants of South Main street will
greet the change as an adjunct to their district.
The change will assist greatly in relieving traffic
congestion in the heart of the city and should mini
mize accidents.
The Bee's
LETTER BOX
NEBRASKA PURE BREDS.
That Nebraska is becoming noted for its fine
cattle is impressed by the American Hereford Journal,
which this month issued a special number devoted to
the state. The production of registered cattle is
made to appear as one of the really big industries of
the state, and it is said that there are more than
27,000 pure bred Herefords upon its farms and
ranches.
Counting the number of white face cattle on the
Nebraska plains may seem to city folk a matter of
small importance. Yet, when one stops to think of
it, the fact that farmers are building up pure herds
and eliminating scrub animals does indicate a spirit
or progress and ambition that will find outlet also
in other important directions.
A state that takes pride in its fine animals may
be expected to pride itself also on the fine quality
of its men and women. Thus we find the live stock
magazine turning aside from its regular field to de
vote attention to some of the thoroughbred people
the state has raised. Guy W. Green, known best as
an agricultural writer, proceeds to name some of
the registered human stock, among them Bryan,
Pershing, Morton, Herbert Johnson, the cartoonist;
John Cassell, the book illustrator, and a long list.
"Frank Spearman, the writer of railroad stories,
came from McCook, Neb.," he remarks. "Marden
of Success magazine fame is from Kearney. Cyrus
Townsend Brady used to preach in an Episcopal
church in Crete, and Frank Crane was formerly a
preacher in Omaha. Dorothy Canfield, the short
story writer, got part of her training at the Univer
sity of Nebraska, where her father was chancellor.
Willa Cather, the author of 'My Antonia' and 'The
Song of the Lark' a woman considered by many
critics the foremost novelist of her sex alive started
as a dramatic critic on the Nebraska State Journal.
Fred Ballard, the dramatist, who wrote 'Believe Me
Xantippe' and other big hits, is from Havelock."
One objection may be found to this enumeration,
and yet it is not so much the fault of the writer as of
conditions themselves. The point is not to be missed
that without exception these people all have left the
state. Nebraska will never come into its own until
it provides the free atmosphere and broad interests
to hold its blue ribbon stock out here on the prairies.
The Canadian reply on the proposal for a water
way treaty not only requests more time for con
sideration, but declares the cost too heavy for the
present This latter has an odd sound, when it is
considered that the plan calls for a bond issue that
would pay itself off out of the earnings.
Fred Brown's in Denver. Fred Brown's in Chey
enne. Fred Brown's doubled back on his trail into
Nebraska. Fred Brown's doubled back into Wyo
ming. Fred Brown this, and Fred Brown that. The
officer who first puts his finger on Freddie should be
awarded the cactus mittens.
A French' war widow is making a plea for votes
for the French women who lost their husbands in
war and are now acting as heads of families. This
is at least a starting point for what appears to be
inevitable throughout the civilized world, the recog
nition of women as full citizens.
Last year, Council Bluffs Shriners were denied a
temple by the imperial council in Des Moines. This
week, Council Bluffs Shriners were denied a temple
by the imperial council at San Francisco. If Council
Bluffs Shriners just stick to it, they may get that
temple yet
Those railroads thst were 'ordered over their pro
tests to install new automatic control devices might
as well make the best of it and advertise their
safety. Can anyone mention a safety move that
was adopted voluntarily and without public pressure?

Bo Good, or Be Good and Sorry.
Omaha, June IS. To the Editor
of The Bee: It has come to pass In
these United States, In this great
state of Nebraska, In this beautiful
olty of Omaha, that a class of mental
dastards, moral and physical cow
ards, degenerates and blackguards,
have waxed powerful and grown be
yond the law. Decency, self-respect,
honors they know them not. And
the law. the fear of which is the
only influence that can give them
pause has becoVne ao puerile, so weak,
so Ineffective and inefficient that
they give It no heed.
They hide their faces behind black
masks and steal forth into the dark
ness to burn, to kill, to rob and to
destroy virtue. No night passes that
does not contribute anew to the al
ready disgraceful and terrifying list
of sordid, ugly crimes for which they
are responsible. Robbery, thievery,
arson, murder, rape decent men
close their eyes in horror. Clean
minded, virtuous women shudder.
Christian civilization is not a fail
ure. It has not pointed out noble
principles, beautiful Ideals, led men
and women out of the darkness of
ignorance into the light of under
standing, and now left them there,
like discarded puppets, to writhe and
struggle against the hateful things
they have been taught to despise.
Nor is mankind going to pot. The
crest of advancement has not been
reached, and humanity is not on the
descent. Nobility, virtue, clean liv
ing are not giving way to the ignoble,
unclean vileness of the underworld.
The men and women of America
are the same high-minded, cour
ageous, honest citizens that America
ever has been proud to claim as its
own.
But they close their eyes In horror,
and too few of them open them
again to seek a remedy. And there
in lies the fault. That is the link
that makes the chain weak.
Some, however, are beginning to
open their eyea and they are begin
ning to see. Investigations are
being made. Inquiries are being in
stituted. And crime continues. So
the every-day American Is trying to
figure the situation out for himself.
And he finds that:
Little acorns of disobedience be
come apparent In the human mind
in babyhood, and doting parents dis
regard them. They grow with the
child. Parents condone, exculpate.
Misdirected love hides from their
eyes the unpleasant truth that If
these things are not brought under
control in youth they will flourish
in maturity. Their love is a won
derful, holy thing, but it is a menace
if it is blind to the fact that children
who Sefy family authority are crim
inals before the domestic car oi
justice.-
It is within the splendid province
of the mothers and . fathers of
America to mold the characters of
the boys and girls who tomorrow
will make up the citizenry or mis
mighty republic. It is their sacred
duty to spare no effort in this direc
tion. And the biggest part of this
task is to drive into the minds of
their offspring the necessity of for
getting self in the interest of the
group; tho subjugation of the spirit
of rebellion which Is in every man's
heart and the acknowledgment of
constituted authority.
That is the ounce of prevention.
A man has been proven guilty of a
crime. He is heartless, scheming,
brutal. He knows no law save his
own desires. His neighbors are his
Prey- , '.,
He must 'receive stern Justice.
Weak, Inexcusable sentimentality
must not be permitted to lighten a
sentence that should be severe. He
must not be allowed to return to his
old haunts, his old associates and his
old habits of lawlessness. He must
be "given the limit."
That is the pound of cure.
And a good thing for American
parents humbly to bear In mind
"an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure." PHILOSOPHER.
Beating Vp a Robber.
Omaha. June 21. Tb the. Editor
of The Bee: All of us can't serve
eight years in Uncle Sam's army In
Hawaii, but such training seems to
stiffen the backbone.

He teld the poliue he had been

and beaten him over the head with

A short time later a suspect was

signs of the battle with the victim
of the holdup. One eye was -closed,
the other battered so that he hardly
could see with it.

that Omahans resist holdup men

Frnm the Nw R'publlr,
It I hard for people of common
rne to believe that the nations of
Europe will go to war again In our
time. On would have thought that
th four-and-a-half year of the
great war would have sickened them
for a generation. Certainty you will
not now And In England any ctlon
of th people prepared to fight. It
I not merely that they hav had
enough of war. It I th disllliielon
ment that counts, Th three-qusrteri
or a million Engllkhmen who were
killed In the great wsr gave their
live unsophisticated for what they
retarded a an Ideal.
The continental attitude to wer Is
mora cynical. Perhapa the most dis
quieting nnd th most repulsive
thing for an Englishman who. at the
(ienoa conference, has seen the rep
resentatives of 84 nation. I the
realization thnt renewed war In Eu
rope la not only a possibility but la
retarded aa an ordinary possibility.
The nations of Europe are not alck
of war, and that fact probably lies
at th bottom of the failure of
Genoa. Let Americans point to Eu
rope and say their worat. They will
be right.
