IN BEHALF OF THE WHOLE PEOPLE.
America can not lot iu prosperity ba menaced
while the railroad executives and workers carry on a
fin inn fight This brutal combat bas been carried on
long enough it is time for a decision, without await
ing a knockout.
Already tho grain harvest is seeking the markets,
the heavy fall movement of live stock soon will be
due, and business of all kinds will be making de
mands on the transportation system that would tax
its normal capacity. In the face of these require
ments, the condition of railway rolling stock has
been allowed to decline. Before the strike of the
repair crews the number of cars in bad order was too
large, and what must it be now?
Originating as a labor dispute, the shopmen's
strike has become a governmental problem. Presi
dent Harding bided his time and now has issued pro
posals for a prompt settlement in the public interest. '
The striking rail employes have accepted his offer,
but their employers have rejected it.
What is it that has given the railroad executives
courage to rebuff the president? For answer it is
only necessary to go back a few days to the time
when reckless charges were being made that Mr.
Harding was not neutral, but was sympathizing with,
and even aiding the employers against their men.
The folly of snap judgment never was more clearly
proven. Today it is the railroad executives who are
repulsing the president's proffer of aid, while the
workingmen have placed their case in his hands.
President Harding has been studying the rights
and the wrongs of this controversy. His final em
phatic declaration reveals him to the very men who
cast suspicion on his motives as the spokesman, not
for any class, but for the whole people and the higher
good. Yet these partisan opponents, aided by mis
guided friends of the railroad men, have weakened
his prestige so that it is possible for the employers to
reject his conciliatory offer. The Central Labor
Union of Omaha may think back with regret to the
ill-advised resolution which accused the president of
the United States as the tool of the great financial
interests.
For those who have shown, their faith in the hor
esty of purpose of the president this is a proui.mo
ment. It is a time for rejoicing on the parf of all
Americans who set the general welfare above special
privilege to any class. In the White House is a
man, patient, unprejudiced, far-seeing and fair.
Let the tongues of careless criticism be silent; let
self-control, not hasty judgment, rule the public
mind. Strengthen the president's hands by con
fidence in his fairmindedness. Make it possible for
America to settle down in peace and industry.
did not give any encouragement to theories that de
part from private operation. Not much hat been
beard of the Plumb plan for the latt two years, and
not much will be unless other means of solution fail
STATE TAXATION REDUCED.
A welcome announcement is that which cornea
from Lincoln, that the state tax levy Is reduced 13 1-3
per cent Thit reduction is made possible first by a
decrease in all that the state is compelled to purchase
in carrying on its activities; aecondly, by the careful
administration of the affair of the state, the con
servation of funds, and the prudent management of
their expenditure. The latter is due to the budget
system and the control of expenditures it permits.
While the democratic organ grinders, led by Mr.
flitchcock. are dolorously demanding tax reduction,
the republicans are practically providing it A cut
of one-third in state taxation is a fair start toward
the goal, and the best possible guaranty that the re
publicans mean to run the state at the lowest possible
cost consistent with good government properly man'
aged.
HOWELL, RANDALL AND SEARS.
Howell, Randall and Sears these are the men
who lead the republican ticket in Douglas county.
Senator, governor and congressman in these
positions they would represent the men and women
of Nebraska with honor.
Citizens who take their responsibilities seriously
have only to compare these three with their demo
cratic opponents in order to become convinced of the
greater ability and character existing among the re
publican candidates.
No one of these three is compromising any of
his beliefs' in the race for office. Each one abstained
from violating the spirit of the primary law by com
bining in a machine for the putting over of a hand
picked slate. There is among them no conspiracy to
expunge past acts, from the record.
Sincerity is so often a missing ingredient, in pub
lic life. Lack of sincerity in the combine between
Bryan, Hitchcock and Hanley constitutes a fatal
weakness. The impression can not be shaken off that
their loud professions of harmony are for the dura
tion of the campaign only. Once elected to office the
ties that now bind them would loose and the state
would be filled with charges and countercharges,
while the affairs of the public were thrust aside for
the settlement of purely partisan matters.
Howell, Randall and Sears these, the republican
candidates, have only the public to serve. Not one
of them is pretending to be anything that his past
record proves him not to have been, nor is it neces
sary for them to sacrifice one of their ideals or be
liefs for tbe sake of harmony within the party.
Isn't that the sort of public men Nebraskansneed?
AUTHOR OF THE PLUMB PLAN DIES.
The death of Glenn E. Plumb comes at a time
when the railroad problem which he endeavored to
solve is as prominent as a sore thumb. However
lacking in healing qualities his proposed remedy may
have been, yet more may be heard of it unless the
transportation system of America cures itself of the
many disorders and breakdowns that have recurrently
beset it
The Plumb plan for the reorganization of the rail
roads was simply an adaptation of guild socialism. It
proposed a three-sided management by a board of
fifteen men. Five of these were to represent the rail
employee, five the rail executives, and five the people
or government Government bonds would have been
exchanged for the railroad securities held by in
vestors. , Mr. Plumb asserted that greater efficiency
and economy in transportation would be secured by
giving the railroad workers a voice in the manage
ment So certain was he of this result that he made
no provision for a sharing of profits, but instead
counted on railroad employes sharing in any savings
they could produce for the railroad system. His trust
was in low rates so encouraging general business that'
the increased volume of traffic would bring profit to
the government treasury and content to the men who
did the work. .

BRITISH FORGIVENESS OF DEBTS.
Lord Balfour's note to the European powers on
the subject of war indebtedness Is a rather awkward
attempt to drive a wedge between the United States
and those nations that owe money to other nations.
Uncle Sam, as was pointed out long ago, is suffering
from the disfavor that inevitably attaches to a credi
tor, but this does not justify the acting foreign sec
retary of the British empire in his ssiumed pose of
protector of the oppressed, rendered impotent by the
obdurate Yankees, who now are demanding their due.
Let us quote from "Our Eleven Billion Dollars,"
a small volume by Robert Mountsier, a journalist of
considerable experience as a European corre
spondent for American newspapers. He writes:
In particular, cancellation would mean more
for Croat Britain than for any other country, and
In this unrepealed fact may lie the reason that
London has fostered the cancellation Idea and ha
persistently kept it before the world. If the Inter
governmental debts were all cancelled, the United
States would lose $11,000,000,000 and more,
whereas Great Britain, the only other important
creditor nation, would lose only about $5,000,000,
000, since she owes approximately $4,000,000,000
to us, while other governments owe her about
$9,000,000,000. Our foreign credits would be re
duced by this cancellation process from $18,000,
000,000 to $7,000,000,000, and Great Britain's
loans and Investments would stand at about $15,
000,000,000. By cancellation Great Britain would
displace the United States as the world's chief
creditor nation.
Three years ago, the London Times, commenting
on a statement made by Frank Vanderlip before the
senate committee on foreign relations, published this
statement: V
We believe that no idea of any remission of
loans made to Great Britain by the United States
has ever been entertained In this country. Heavy
as our financial war burdens are, It Is not beyond
our strength to bear them. We are grateful for
the great financial, and for the naval and military,
help given to us and to our allies by the United
States, but we neither expect nor have we asked
to be relieved of our full share of the obligations .
we incurred in order to ensure the triumph of the
common cause.
Austen Chamberlain, as chancellor of the ex
chequer, on several occasions deplored mention of.
debt cancellation. ' In face of the record, it seems, to
quote a British expression, a bit thick for the Lord Bal
four at this time to use the United States as a shield
for England's unwillingness to forgive even debtors
whose, ability to pay is doubtful. Europe's situation
wlfr'be improved when some imperial programs are
set aside and attention is given to settlement of obli
gations that rest on all. The way out is not through
cancellation of debts, but along the well known path
of hard work.
What Other
Editors Say
HE GAVE THE WORLD EARS.
The telephone ranks high among the inventions
that have altered the life of man and so changed his
tory. The death of Alexander Graham Bell, who
secured the first patents on the telephone, turns the
mind toward contemplation of the effect of his in
vention on human society.
Each advance in ease of communication is a
civilizing influence. The telephone brought people
closer together that, even more than saving the
labor and time consumed in carrying messages, was
its great service. No home, in city or country, now
need be isolated. Persons may converse at a thou
sand miles' distance as if they were face to face.
Where once one might not converse with ones friends
for days or weeks, now they are all within reach.
News, information and opinion travels with lightning
speed. '
Dr. Bell gave wings to speech. It is a co
incidence that he should have begun as a teacher of
deaf mutes. Before the telephone came, we were all
deaf and he gave us ears with which to hear, broad
ening our life, opening our minds and bringing us
all nearer.
REED AND OLD MISSOURI.
On the face of returns, Senator James A. Reed of
Kansas City has been given by the Missouri voters
the most complete and satisfactory vindication a
man could ask. Whatever other cause may have con
tributed to the outcome, no element of his victory
is more potent than the resentment of Missouriana
at interference from outsiders in their family affairs.
Senator Reed long ago incurred the displeasure of
Woodrow Wilson; at the San Francisco convention
he was unceremoniously ousted at the instance of
the president; in the present campaign Mr. Wilson
had sent word to the voters of Missouri, directing
them to support Breckenridge Long, third assistant
secretary of state during the war. This was made
the most of by the Long adherents during the can
vass, which was uncommonly bitter. In the returns,
then, one may see a rebuke for the late president,
whose penchant for mixing into state politics has
several times drawn fire from the voters, as well as
a triumph for the senator who is renominated. Sena
tor Reed's big campaign is before him. Nomination
on the democratic ticket is no longer equivalent to
election in Missouri, and it may be that in November
the Wilsonites will have their chance to crow.
Senator Crow of Pennsylvania is dead, and thus
Governor Sproul is provided with the extremely rare
opportunity of appointing three United States sena
tors to fill vacancies occurring during his single term
of office. This is a unique record.
Dan Butler is willing to harmonize, for he has
already pledged himself to "Brother Charlie," but he
isn't harmonious enough to stand for everything Mad
den or Mullen say or do. They may have to neu
tralize Dan yet

Back to the (slate.
from th Philadelphia Ldgr.
Back to the states again shifts the
responsibility or enforcement of
law and the keeping or order in
the mine-strike areas. President
Harding tells the governors of $8
states to second hia Invitation to the
operators to open their mines and
asks these governors to assure
maintained order and the protec
tlon of lawful endeavor."
This amounts to no more than
suggesting that they do their sworn
duty, a duty that has been theirs
from the beginning of the strike. It
never has been unlawful for a mine
to be opened and for men to work
In the mines.
The president has chosen the slow
er and possibly the easier way. On
the plea that coal la necessary In
Interstate commerce he could have
wielded the federal powers from the
start He haa chosen to give to the
states the first responsibility and to
use the national police powers as
the second and last resort His ac
tion amounts to making haste slow
ly In a time of very grave national
emergency, when days, and even
hours, are beginning to count.
A little time will tell, but that
little time can 111 be used for the
purpose. The White House action
may prove no more than a ges
ture, and It is not a good time for
arm-waving. Summoning the power
of the states may mean much or
little. The power of the states has
been sucked away from them by
the, federal government. Their good
right arms have been withering. For
generation they have been In the
habit of throwing their burdens on
the good Lord and the federal gov
ernment.
Properly. It is always a states
business to see that a mine or a
mill or railroad is protected In time
strike and domestic unrest.
Theoretically, the state must see
that a man who wants to work shall
work unharmed and unthreatened.
Actually, a state's protection is no
better than the courage or the pre
judices of a sheriff who may owe
his election to strikers' votes. There
was a sheriff in Williamson, county.
Illinois, for Instance, hut he stayed
away from Herrin till the mob had
finished its lob.
Constitutionally, it Is the business
and the dutv of a state to preserve
order everywhere within its boun
daries, to give protection and to en
force all of its laws. This they are
never ready to do in the case of
such an emergency as tne present,
Thev lack the force and the facil
ities. As often as not they act only
when they must.
As a matter of "completing the
record," the president's letter to the
governors has its value, for tne
rest its effect will depend upon the
backbones and inclinations of these
executives. Some of them have
done well In dealing with rail-strike
disorders, notably in Kansas, Illi
nois and Missouri. Others have not
done so well, Texas in particular.
The burden is back on the states.
In a few days the nation will begin
to see what the governors mean to
do about it. The first test will come
when the mine whistles blow. The
white-hot crisis will show when the
striking miners, going hungry,
facing want and entering upon the
fourth month of a strike, see the
mines reopened and other men in
their Jobs.
For that day the federal govern
ment will do well to be ready.

very Important part of the work of
th country la what la called man
ual work. It la one of the matters
of greateat concern to the people, as
a whole, that all peraona engaspd in
honest and uetful service be treated
with fairness and Justice in every
reapect. In no other country is this
principle so well rsrrled out in prac
lice as in the United Htstcs. In no
other country is there no much
genuine sympathy for workers. In
no other country have such a Urge
proportion of those who occupy Im
portant places In bualnes and gov
ernment had actual experience In
manual work and developed muscle
and mind at tha same time Into well
balanced manhood and womanhood
In no other country can legitimate
organisations of worker have more
liberty In caring for their Interests,
as long as they keep within tne um
its of falrnea and of law. In no
other country Is there so little ex
cuse for lawlessness and violation or
personal rights snd destruction of
property as in this country.
And yet the annals of our country
are spotted all through the last 40
or 60 years with the crimes ol mem
bers of labor unions and trade
unions and the vicious utterances of
wild, anarchlstio agitators.
Is It not time for the great body
of fair-minded people to take a
megaphone and give a shout that
can be heard in the remotest and
most obscure place: Go way back
and sit down. You don't belong In
this country?
BERIAH F. COCHRAN,
Pish In Carter Lake.
Omaha, Aug. 1. To the Editor of
The Omaha Bee: The fishing in
Carter lake this season has been
practically nil, and, in my opinion,
will never be any good so long as
the game wardens adhere to- the
practice of seining the lake each
fall, and I want to Voice my protest
against the system. I have noticed.
for several seasons at Carter lake,
that the fishing was very poor, fol
lowing seining the lake In the fall,
and the more thorough the seining,
the poorer the fishing.
The coarse fish taken out, while
amounting to considerable in weight,
amount to nothing so far as protec
tion to game fish Is concerned, and
the coarse fish are nearly all carp.
Oars, which are the greatest pest in
all waters, are not taken In any ap
preciable numbers with the seine. I
have heard many anglers speak of
the fact that fishing for bass and
crapples is very poor following sein
ing the lake, and attributing it to
the seining. Some of these men are
men who have studied and know the
habits of fish, so there must be some
basis for this belief. Anyway, the
fact that it is so seems to call for
an experiment in the matter, and
the right way would be to stop the
seining and give it a try.
I know that the ice companies also
clear the lake by dragging a cable
through to pull out the moss, but this
does some good by clearing the moss
and is only done in the shallower
water, where the moss grows, but
the seining is dona all over the lake,
generally late In the fall, and mostly
In the ilerpar water, where the nl

Disgusted Robinson Crnsoes.
From Harper' Magazine.
"They were fairly typical of the
little army of ex-service men who
had come out the year before to
take up homesteads on the Shoshone
and North Platte projects men
who, as often as not, knew little
or nothing about farming, and came
with the vague notion, Inasmuch as
the openings were restricted to ex
service men, that a grateful govern
ment was 'giving' them something.
And so it was the exclusive right
to be Robinson Crusoes on land
much less hospitable than Crusoe's
Island, and without any well-stocked
ship conveniently beached in the off
ing and filled with biscuits and nails.
"They had to pay lor this land,
and pay for clearing and leveling
and plowing it: pay for the lumber
for their shacks and their bacon
and flour and nails; pay for their
horses and plows and seed; and
pay for the water with which, after
three or four years' grubbing and
waiting, they might hope to get a
decent crop.
" 'And now, I. said to one of the
'ex-service men after we had gone
over the cost of getting started,
'how much do you suppose you made
last year?" It was their first.
'"Well,' he replied, 'I made about
sixty dollars out of my wheat, forty
four dollars from my potatoes, and
ten thousand dollars' worth of ex
perience!' ' 'They call this an "investment,"
put in the other. 'I'd have made
six times aa much working for
wages. I'll say it's a damn fine
thing for the government to have
us come out here and clear off the
land for "em and get it ready for
some squarehead to make money
out of ten years from now! We'll
be lucky if we can keep going long
enough to operate another year.
