PRESIDENT'S POLICY IN OPERATION. The policy of the president of the United Statei for dealing with the industrial situation created by the coal and railroad strikes is being developed. The Interstate Commerce commission has declared an emergency to exist, and under that has issued specific orders for the movement of traffic which should have the effect of so co-ordinating the available trans portation as to prevent suffering in any part of the country. Included in this are provisions for giving priority to shipments of food and fuel, as well as re quiring the use of the most available routes. The machinery for the emergency control will be formed by the president, and will consist of rep resentatives of the Interstate Commerce commission, the Department of Commerce and the Department of Justice, with Secretary Hoover as chairman, and these will be assisted by expert coal and railroad men. This board will direct the operation of pro ducers and the distribution of fuel and food. A most important development of the day was the announcement from operators of the so-called competitive field, including Ohio and western Penn sylvania, of willingness to confer with the miners with a view to terminating the strike. President Lewis of the miners is at Philadelphia, in conference with district presidents covering the anthracite field. His reply to the Pittsburgh Vein Operators' asso ciation will have almost a decisive bearing on the sit uation. Such an offer, the first made by this power ful group of operators, gives reason for a more hope ful view of the situation. Settlement between the clerks and the manage ment of the Southern railroad, on a basis of mutual concessions, and the continued negotiations between the Viaintenance of way men and the Labor board are the encouraging features of the railroad situa tion. Several roads report accessions to their shop forces, and prospective conferences are in several in stances referred to. Presence of troops at points where disorder threatened has quieted apprehension. Omaha coal men met with a special committee of the Chamber of Commerce, of which John L. Ken nedy is chairman, and an authorized statement is made that Omaha people have no immediate cause for worry. Generally the signs are such as to warrant the belief that matters are moving more definitely to the settlement of the disturbances. That end is probably not just around the corner, but it is nob as far way as it was before the president adopted the course he has taken. There is nothing to justify the radicals on either side in expectancy that the full power of the government will be exerted to crush the other fellow, nor can either feel that it will be left to pursue" its own course unhampered by considera tions of public safety. GUARDING OMAHA'S INTERESTS. The mere fact that Nebraska is distant from the' sources of fuel supply must not be taken as any indication that Omaha will not get its full share of the coal that, is mined. The Interstate Commerce commission, with its priority orders, may be trusted o rsulata the distribution of coal fairly. There is no wisdom in a general stampede to buy coal. Nothing should be done by any consumer that would result in running up the price of next winter's fuel. The assurances of John L. Kennedy, former coal administrator, that there is no need for im mediate uneasiness is reassuring. Signs multiply that if the president and his ad ministration are given popular support no one will have to suffer for lack of coal. The proper way to give Mr. Harding this backing is not by an attempt at hoarding, but by insisting on conciliation of the -dispute. The movement of coal cars is under government control, and the conference between Mr. Kennedy and the local coal dealers is evidence that Omaha's needs will be given full and fair consideration in the distribution of fuel. THAT BEFORE BREAKFAST GROUCH. The advice sometimes is given, "Keep smiling until 10 o'clock and the rest of the day will take care of itself." This is in recognition, no doubt, of the prevalence of what may be called the "morning blues." A good many persons wake up with a grouch. The idyllic picture of domestic life in which husband nd wife sit down happily to a leisurely morning meal is unfortunately not always realized. Some men, and some women, are absolutely uncompanionable until they have had breakfast. For one thing, the man may be in a hurry to get to his work. As a result this is often the most hasty meal of the day. There are men who make a practice of taking breakfast in a downtown restaurant. There no doubt re some women who have their tea and toast in bed. Many ways exist in which trouble may be avoided and' the day saved for good humor. Once the break fast is done, the world looks more fair and the ordi nary relations of life can be assumed without growling. MOTOR AGAINST MAN. The coming of the horse to America, brought by the Spanish explorers, changed the whole course of life. Thus were rest distances overcome and so was civilization spread. Tht Indians, also, who before were earthbound, acquired ponies and became more formidable antagonists as well as more effective hunters. Similar changes, reaching far into the habits of the Orient, are promised by the advent of the auto mobile. Hand drawn carts and jinrikishas still con stitnts a Lege part of tht means of transportation in Japan. It is estimated that one in tvtry twenty tight Japanest Is engsged in transportation. In all of Japan there art only 252,000 horse-drawn car nages and vehicles and 41,000 ox carts. The chief ebitablt to the use of motor cart it said to bo tht hand-drawn vehicles. These, however, art now rap idly decreasing. Although tht number of automo biles and trucks Is only 12,117, yet this is enough to havt displaced a great many primitive vehicles. The effect of freeing coolie labor for the produc tion of food or other goods instead of hauling will be revolutionary. The change to the motor car came with less of a shock in America because it replaced the horse, not a whole class of men. Bee Readers' Opinions " HENRY AND ME " AND THE LAW. In ona regard Governor Allen hat the better of Editor White, in tht controversy over the placard. Conceding every claim that may bt made for freedom of speech and publication, and tht governor is quite as fsmiliar with all this as is his adversary, it re mains trut there it a place where personal rights must come second. No man has a right to set him self above the law at any time, to take the law into his own hands, or to flout the law or twist it to his own whim or fancy. If the governor of the state of Kansas, acting on the advice of his 'attorney general, declares that a certain course of action is inimical to the welfare of the people of Kansas, or contrary to the law of Kansas decent regard to the law and for the executive requires that all good citizens obey the governor. Such as do not become law breakers and to that ex tent forfeit the estate of good citizenship. Hero is just where William Allen White stepped back in time. He submitted to arrest, after having made his point, and then removed the offending placard. His sympathy for the striking shopmen need have undergone no diminution, and may be as efficacious as ever it was, but he is in a stronger posi tion than before, because in holding that sympathy and perhaps giving it practical form, he is no longer defying a law of his state nor interfering with the goverrlor's efforts to enforce the law. Governor Allen is right in saying: "What we need in this country now more than anything else is a feeling of obligation to our government, to our laws, and obedience to authority. It is the duty of every citizen to obey the laws." IT'S ALL IN THE FAMILY. Nebraskans, who have become accustomed to the antics of the democrats in their effort to secure office in the state, will not be at all surprised at the in dignation of "Prince Arthur," who finds his prestige about to be challenged by William A. Kavan. Mr. Kavan, it appears, has gone to the extent of organizing a democratic club, admission to which is set at $1 per, while Mr. Mullen is the chief engineer and pilot of another club composed of democrats who pay $10 each for the privilege. As to the real actual value of membership in a democratic club in Nebraska at this time, most folks will probably insist it can be better expressed in roubles than in dollars and cents. That is beside the question. Mr. Mullen, relying on his $10 fee as well as priority in the field, regards Mr. Kavan and his $1 proposition as an interloper. In fact, Mr. Mullen so expressed himself at a meeting of the democratic state committee. Mr. Kavan is of further offense because he was secretary or some thing like it to Dean Ringer when the latter was superintendent of police in Omaha. From which family fuss it is not at all difficult to draw the conclusion that while the Hitchcocks and the Bryans may indulge in "neutrality," and lay aside the wet and dry disagreement in hope of getting votes, the Mullens and the Kavans are not inclined to do so. The unholy alliance is bearing its natural fruit, and, while the row is all in the family so far, it may not be confined to that limitation. SCHILLER'S BUST IN PARK. Schiller's bust is again on the pedestal in River view park, where it was placed fifteen years ago by patriotic German citizens, in whose hearts dwelt a great love for art, for literature and for music, all of which were embodied in the great poet they honored. It is good to note this fact, for it shows a com plete subsidence of the stein-smashing spirit that characterized some portion of our country's share in the war. The bust was not removed because the City of Omaha mistook the spirit that gave it, but because to expose it was to invite an outburst that might damage a work of art, destroy a monument, and do nothing towards aiding the victory all sought. Wounds left by the war are slowly healing; memories will survive for generations, and it is well they should, but Schiller had no part in the events so de plored. Read Schiller's life, and you will discover that he, too, was a victim of the very system that led to the awful four years from August, 1;914, to Novem ber, 1918. He hated war; he was forced to serve as a military surgeon, and was arrested and forbidden to write because he fled from Wurtemburg to witness a production of his first play, in which war is denounced, Schiller and Goethe were Germans, but their work is for all the world. Art knows neither country nor creed; we speak of the German school, -the Italian, French, English, Russian schools, and listen in pa tience vhen told we have no American school, be cause we adapt from" all the others. In the melting pot of America the arts of all the world have more nearly amalgamated than anywhere else on earth. Thus, the bust of Schiller, now restored to its place in the park, is not a monument to any nation or any citizen of a particular nation, but an ap preciative tribute to that universal thing that more nearly marks man as of divine origin than any of his other attributes. Let it stand, as it was intended, an inspiration to all who love the better things of life. Applied democracy, if we understand the local interpretation, rates a member who pays a $10 fee as being ten times the account of one who pays only $1. Maybe there's something in that. Walter Head wants to bring the next Boy Scout convention to the United States. Why not go one step farther, and bring it to Omaha? Band concerts at Fort Omaha awaken memories of a day when guard mount tljere was a function. Stowaways on airplane are novel enough to notice, there being no trucks or brakerods to ride. When bandits begin toteal raspberries canned for the winter, it is time to call a halt. Now, if J. Pluvius will just let op for a week or ten days, much will bt forgiven him. Loud talk will dig no coal. On Second Thought Br . M. STAKSITEB. """" Braaa. scientists tell us, is shunted gold.

TATWE. 3817 Q St. "Families" and "Broods." Boone County, Neb., July 24. To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: In the Sunday Bee of July 2S, on page 4. I noticed a picture of six very bright-looking children. The large type headline above the picture Is "Oldest Girl Praised for Mothering Brood of Five Orphaned Children." Oh, what a compliment you give this fine-looking group of a family to call it a "brood." . In some years gone by the word brood was applied to animal erourjs and a family of children was called, not a brood, but. respectfully and beflttingly, as is due to the human race, a family. Why pull down the mother and the father of a large family to the level of animal life? Who does honor belong to? Is it not the mothers that raise the fami lies, are they not the true founda tion of our great country? Or is the present generation, where we find large families, the cause that fills up the prisons of our country? Look up the statistics and the per centage of the criminals that we harbor behind prison walls and you will. And that the percentage of the inmates is not made up of members of large families. Yet the learned editor of a metropolitan paper terms a family of six children a "brood." Whereas he politely speaks in his society columns, as brothers or sisters, or uses the noblest of words, family when his pen pic tures the family life of the idle rich, with no more than one, two or three children, or often only a poodle dog. to make the family complete. O, what a contrast. I pick up the daily American Tribune of Dubuque, turn to the editorial page of its is sue of July 23, and, under the head ing of "Fewer. Not Better." it com ments on a letter written in a daily Detroit paper, and mentions or ap plies the word of words "farhily" to the groups of children. It com ments on Horace Walpole, who was one of a family of 18; Benjamin Franklin, 14; Napoleon Bonaparte, 12; Samuel Adams, Sir Walter Scott, James Cooper, Alfred Tenny son, of families of 12; Lord Nelson, Irving, Clay, Carlyle and Henry George, of families of 10! Grover Cleveland's mother had nine chil dren and so on. Most of the great men sprung from large families, ana a look back Into history will con vince us that the mother of a large family could still be a queen in so ciety, for in years gone by she was considered the very foundation on which our great commonwealth is built. What a contrast, when one de fines the words family and brood. MRS. J. X. SEVENICH. OPINION- What Editors Elsewhere An Saymg Freedom for the Filipinos. Omaha, July 22. Te the Editor of The Omaha Bee: I am very appre ciative of the interest which The Omaha Bee is taking in regard to Filipino freedom as manifested by letters and editorials that appear in its columns every now and then. It is on yesterday's editorial on "Agui naldo and Filipino Freedom" that I desire to make the following com ment and discussion. It is very much to my regret that Gen. Aguinaldo is unable to attend the convention of the Spanish American War Veterans in the United States due to financial rea sons. You were right, Mr. Editor, in referring to him as a bit of effec tive living propaganda for our in dependence movement. Giving con sideration to the high type of pa triotism he possesses he will always remain to be so whether he may be in America or elsewhere. He was surely an enemy of the United States for a short while because of his leadership in the "insurrection of 1899." Can you blame him for the insurrection? As a patriot he could not bear to see his country fall in another master's hand after he had already succeeded in overthrow ing that tyrannical rule of Spain and had accordingly begun preparations for the organization of a republican form of government. In spite of that occurrence, after he had sworn allegiance to the United States, can you find a man more peaceful than he has been during the years of American sovereignty in his home country? "On Second Thought," in the same paper as that editorial previously referred to, read: "The enemies you may make today are the friends you may need tomor row." There, Mr. Editor, you can take Gen. Aguinaldo as exemplifying this worthy thought. Another point I wish to consider is your 'statement that freedom will not be secured by the machinations of a group of "island schemers" who are pushing the present attempt to influence the government at Wash ington. That is a very sane opinion, I admit, but I am at a loss to know who those "Island schemers" are. I take my chances in assuming that you referred to the present Philip pine Independence commission in the United States. Indeed, this com mission Is asking for our indepen dence but as authorised representa tives of the Filipino people. "Knock and the door shall be opened to you," but who should knock for a country with a representative form of gov ernment? Evidently the representa tives who are chosen by the people. This is exactly what we did in send ing the present commission to America. The members do not represent only a small group of Fili pinos, but they represent the peo ple from whom they got their au thority by the process ef popular America's I-k of Control, from tha Mlnnaapollt Journal, "ss Sinclair Lewis: "We don't need more pep In America; we nfd control." It is a true saying. One need only turn to the day's news to learn what we are paying for our speedy, complex life with Its lack of control sutomohlltt killings, broken homes, Increase In Juvenile crime, strikes, disrespect for laws, fodderol in schools, and so on. To be sure, America has the pep and Is using it, but the sorry truth Is It is getting nowhere. As Sinclair Lewis says, it lacks the control to get anywhere. Look at the pep our legislators have displayed In pass ing laws the last 10 years. But who can maintain that this is a better governed country because of the myriad of new laws, or that there Is any more respect for laws? In the mad chase of the newer day, we have turned our homes into mere roosting places, and then are shocked when our children show bv offenses against the law and against right principles that they lack home training. We have been so busy that we have neglected church, and then are surprised at the violation of Oolden Rule principles In every day life. We wax indignant over the misconduct of government, but when the day dawns for us to participate in the government by voting, we shun the polls. We are racing about and getting all pepped up over this, that and the other thing. We are wasting our energy on nonessentials. The evils we -a today are evils of our owni making, and th-y will be shatad only as we ralaa our aiandtrda and Ichanga our cour of romlurl. Hmh a step alanine i-uiitroi.

Taking the pub lication of I.lppmun's "Public Opin ion" as a camiH belli. Mr. M., after the customary preliminary hand shake, leads off with a Jab to the solar plexus. He calls Walter a liberal and throws him In with the ante bellum democrats. The taste of blood makes him prance. He kids Walt about his trust in the mob, his pathetic faith In barbers and green grocers. The gong sounds. It Is Mencken's round. With a flourish election. These men have always been conspicuous in the indepen dence movement and most, if not all of them, have been elected and re-elected without much opposition because they stand before the people and express themselves unequivo eably for the movement. And the fact is that all the political parties are represented in the commission. Call the commission whatever name you prefer, Mr. Editor, they did not come here to promote their own personal Interests; Instead they came here mindful of the responsi bilities placed upon them by 10,000, poo souls who are ever look ing forward for the fulfillment of that worthy doctrine that Just gov ernments rest upon the consent of the governed; that every people has the right to determine its own in stitutions and form of government for itself, and the right to dissolve at will the political connection that binds it to another people, and to seek by its own paths its safety and happiness.
