FARMER'S INTEREST IN SENIORITY.
While the managers and tha ahop hands are ex
citedly debating- the quettion of teniority rights, fill,
inf the public ear with their claims, and disturbing;
the vitally necessary transportation service of the
whola country, another irroup is doing some deep
thinking. Its members ara not at present making
much noise, but they will shortly be heard from, un
less an improvement in the situation is shortly noted.
Much emphasis has been laid on the loss of wages
and the waste entailed by allowing' rolling stock of
railroads to go without repair. No matter how great
thia sum may be, it is insignificant compared to the
loaa tha farmlnir anH hnaineaa alaniani. Ik.
are .required to sustain. The farmer, just emerging
from a period of disheartening depression, faced a
season of good crop prospects with the promise of fair
pncea for his gram and live stock. What has hap
pened to him? 1
t Grain and live stock markets are all shot to pieces,
because of the interrupted and uncertain conditions
of the transportation service. The damage to the
farmer is direct, for the loss already has fallen on
him, and he has no way of recovering, unless some
unforeseen calamity should interevene to send prices
soaring again. This contingency is not likely.
Also, the farmer h faced with the prospect of
paying high prices and going on short rations for
roal again, because of the combined effect of the
miners' strike and that of the shop hands. What
ever hits the farmer hits the business man. Pros
perity in this country is not one-sided. . When agri
culture languishes, all lines suffer. The loss in wages
' and in condition of rolling stock is a formidable
amount, but the loss already taken by the farmers
and business men is so much greater that it overtops
the lesser even as a mountain does a'molehiy.
To further add to the confusion of the deplorable
situation by a sympathetic strike on part of the "Big
Four" brotherhoods would merely increase the losses
already sustained by the nation. The strike, of the
miners of coal and the shopmen strike has already
cost the farmers millions. Let us hope the engineers,,
firemen, conductors and trainmen 'will let their resiaon
and good judgment control.
.. Also, let us hope the president realizes what is
involved in the danger of the nation drifting into
winter with coal unmined and railroad rolling stock
falling to pieces for lack of care. We believe h is
wise and couraceous. and that ha has the advice of
sound and able men, who will also see the necessity
of vigorous action. Cleveland in 1894, and Roose
velt in 1902, ended similar situations by exercising
the power of the president of the United States. Mr.
Harding must be near the end of his patience.
TARIFF BY COMMISSION.
Ptestdent Harding hat, it is reported from Wh
ington. given the senate to understand that in Jlis
opinion the tariff should have some flexibility, and
that points of much difference should be left to the
decision of the tariff commission after examination.
Ibis is brought out by the flurry in the senate over
the provision of the Kordney-McCumber measure that
gives the president power to raise or lower certain
rateM To tiiis considerable opposition hat developed
in the senate.
Viewed from any point, the plan deyerves tome
criticism. It hat the effect of vesting the president
with a legislative rapacity, which is not in harmony
with the theory of our government. President Hard
ing doea not seek such responsibility. Yet there is
good reason for giving the tariff a certain element of
elasticity, that conditions may be met at they de
velop?. It is possible tht what is a just and proper
schedule today may be entirely out of line a few
month from now. Conditions that control vary
rapidly and some are subject to considerable fluctua
tion.
The tariff commiosion originally wa a republican
inttitution, designed to accomplish tpeciflc work con
nected with the preparation of tariff schedules. It
was abandoned by the democrats, when the prepara
tion of the free trade Underwood act was taken up.
Mr. Wilson found it desirable at a later time to rec
ommend its restoration. It deserves to be given the
recognition President Harding proposes, to the end
that tariff troubles may be lessened.
Progress now being made on the measure pending
in the aenate gives the impression that a vote will
soon be taken, and the passage of the bill is well as
sured. Adjustment of differences with the house will
follow, and the bill will become law yet this fall, very
likely. Then the- future tariff schedules ought to be
referred exclusively to the commission, that the coun
try may have the best possible law that expert in
vestigation will produce!
SAME - OLD GAME : SAME OLD ANSWER.
. "The victims were told they couldn't lose." This
is the explanation given the police to explain the
success of 'a swindling contrivance which .has just
been, unearthed, following complaints of some who
were swindled.

than the desire to get something for nothing. It is
not the gambling instinct; the man who wants to
gamble is willing to take a chance. He wagers that
his skill or judgment ia superior" to that of his ad
versary, that he holds the better cards, or handles
them better, that he can pick the winner in a" lot of
horses, or in some other way indulges his propensity
where the chances exist.
1" However, the sure-thing wan is not a gambler;
he will riot take a chance. Unless he knows he is
going to win he will make no wager. Thefee are the
easy victims of the swindler. After a game is ex.
plained to them, and they see how easily and cer
tainly it operates, and with what assurance of getting
the other fellow's money they can approach the trial,
they are willing to go ahead. That is why no sym
pathy goes out to them when the deadfall is sprung
and the biter is bitten.
. In the ordinary administration of the law, the
perpetrators of any cheat, no matter who the victim,
are considered culprits and' are liable to all the pen
alties of the law. This, however, is neither excuse
nor justification for the man who thought he was
going to win, and who ventured only because he knew
he had a sure thing. : -
REFORMING LAW COURT PRACTICE. .
Chief Justice Taft, addressing the American Bar
association at its San Francisco convention, suggested
the naming of a commission to revise existing rules
and produce a simple, uniform code, "authorizing a
unit administration of law and equity in one form of
civil action." This report should be made to con
gress, for enactment into law, but inside of six
months should become effective if congress took no
action. ',
- The remarks of the chief justice were elicited by
a report from a committee, headed by Federal Judge
Wade of Iowa, which said: ,
We are convinced that if it could be submitted
to a vote, a large number of our citizens would
vote In favor of abolishing the constitution en
tirely. !
The report goes further, to the effect "that
Many of our people . . . . do not know
that no man is so poor or obscure that he can not,
in the hour of threatened injury, turn to the con
stitution as his protection against the wrongful
acts of the rich and socially prominent.
Judge Wade's committee asks that a commission
be appointed, to be charged with the duty of reviving
a better feeling toward the courts and the law.
Chief Justice Taft expressed the opinion that the
greatest! difficulty is that judges have not sufficient
power, and must accept blame for things they can
not control. This, presumably, refers to the' judge
as being restricted by rules of practice, which gives
opposing lawyers opportunity that might be denied
without obstructing justice.
A higher regard for the courts will follow when
greater confidence is restored in the law. To ac
complish this restoration is a task for the lawyers
themselves.
ALL IN THE DAY'S WORK.
Omaha has not been afflicted greatly by costly fires
within the- last few months. Not that the firemen
have been allowed to become rusty for lack of exer
cises, for those who live anywhere near the stations
know that alarms come frequently enough. Experi
ence, Thursday nigr and Friday morning were
such as must convince anybody of the need of a well
trained, modernly equipped and vigilant fire depart
ment in a city the size of Omaha. Chief Salter and
his men got a few hours of fire fighting that called
for the beat they had in the way of apparatus, knowl
edge and 'Skill. One fire, the most promising of the
lot, so far as the possible damage to property is con
sidered, involved the greatest of danger also. Twenty
of the men were made "smoke eaters" in fact as well
as in name, being overcome by a great burst of pois
onous fumes liberated in the cellar to which they eon
fined the fire. So far as is known only one fireman
suffered severely, the captain of one of the companies
engaged sustaining an injury that will permanently
impair his hearing. Others had very narrow escapes
from death, and wilt feel for many days the effects
of the asphyxiation they underwent. The efficiency
displayed at the several fires indicates the high stage
of training to which the department has attained.
The men realize that it is all in the day's work, but
the citizens appreciate the energy and ability with
which the paid fire fighters go about their business.
As long as the totals were finally properly ad
justed, what difference does it make as to who made
the mistake in addition? The blunder was discovered
in good season, and the public, loses nothing.
RIGHT HERE IN ' OMAHA.
Last Sunday The Omaha Bee printed a classic on
"jay walking," from a Grand Island reader. HisTea
sons were good, individually applied; as for that, a
lot of Omaha men would take a greater chance than
ia offered in crossing the street at Ludgate Circus, if
Wtev knew they could get a glass of "Bass' Pale" at
the end of the jaunt. But, consider these three in
cidents, noted in a single forenoon in Omaha:
- ' At one place where a street is torn up to make
street railway improvements, a narrow place is left
for auto traffic. Right in the middle of this a driver
stopped his car to gossip with a passing acquaintance i
who was on foot. Machines going both ways were
held up, and street cars blockaded, until the friendly
confab was interrupted by the traffic officer. If that
driver had gone twenty feet further, he would have
been in the clear, and could have chatted a week
without hindrance. '
In a waiting line at a popular cafeteria a woman
discovered a friend with whom she had some business
to transact. Trays accordingly were set down, hand
bags opened, receipts exchanged, and a lot of hungry
lunch seekers were delayed while the matter pro
ceeded. At the water tank in that same cafeteria, a lady
customer discovered a waitress acquaintance, and
they parked themselves in front of the tank and gos-

On Second Jhmght
Must Fit Vniform and Job.
From th New York Times.
"Where did you dig up that uni
form, boy?" asked a tenant of a
Broadway office building of a new
elevator runner. The packet was
big enough to wrap twice around the
lad. The sleeves, when his arms
hung straight, came below his n
gens. The trousers, their waistband
hauled half-way up to his chin by
suspenders, bagged from the knees
down like deflated balloons ana were
rolled ud a good six inches from
their bottoms to prevent dragging
on the floor of the car.
.;'It's the only one the super had."
replied the runner, ""and I had to
take it. It's a hand-me-down from
the last man who quit the job."
Fitting bellboys, elevator run-
hers. hallboys, porters and other at
tendants and employes of clubs, ho
tels and apartment houses and of-
noe buildings is one of the most
annoying and Irritating tasks that
confront stewards, hotel managers.
apartment house superintendents and
those real estate concerns which spe
cialize in building management.
There's no lack of applicants fitted
for the Jobs. The difficulty lies In
finding men who will fit the uni
forms that go with the Jobs.
"These classes of employes," said
M. Morgenthau, jr., who has many
apartments and large office buildings
fn his charge, 1 are constantly chang
ing jobs. They drift from one apart
ment house or office building to an
other. It is a rare thing for them
to stick to one "long enough to wear
out a uniform. Needless to say, it
.would be out of the question for the
building or apartment house man
ager to buy a new uniform to ' fit
every new porter, or hallboy or ele
vator runner. The result is that In
many cases, getting a job depends
on the ability of the applicant to fit
the uniform left behind by the man
whose place he is taking.
' JNomads that they are, these men
refuse to buy two uniforms, one for
summer and one for winter, for they
never know when they "are going to
quit a Job, and if they paid for their
uniforms they would be a pretty
penny out of pocket at the end of a
year. You may have noted that
bellboys, porters and elevator run
ners show more than In most other
occupations the same physical 1 size.
rhis is due to their need of fitting a
uniform which comes the nearest to
striking an average measurement.
But there are times when we are
forced to employ men who are above
or below this average. That causes
the ill-fitting uniforms you occa
sionally see.
'The owner, if he happens to see
an elevator runner or hallboy wear
ing a mlsnt uniform, may seek an
explanation from the manager, but
Irritation soon subsides when he ia
informed that keeping his employes
In faultlessly fitting' uniforms of two
varieties would remove several hun
dred dollars from the profit side of
his ledger."
Money Talks.
From the Hasttnga Tribune.
Money talks. Tou may not have
heard it whisper, but aevertheless
it talks, just the same.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
announces a cut of $1,014,000.0.00 in
the debt of the United States since
the past year.
The fact that Mr. Mellon is the
second richest man in the world
makes it patent that he knows some
thing about finance
President Harding certainly knew
what he was doing when he selected
Mellon for secretary of treasury.
Only those who know how to han
dle their own financial affairs are
capable of handling the financial af
fairs of the state or union.
It Is one thing to make money, and

I am not a ilyr In thl big nerle.

club. I am what th ornctal rail
"an amateur fun." and what I liav
In mind 1 thia: When JohnDeiint
toil wo head uf the old LuxTi club
wa amateur fan hnd to py to enter
hi park, which wa located on
Twenty-fourth and Vinton, and at
the end of Ihe teaaon earn and every
one of hi player waa paid for hi
arvlce. Why Un th ottlclal call
that amateur? That unit aeaon
Lennlon's club played for the
rhampionahlp, which wa Mtaged at
the old race track In Knoit. and
Uennlaon mad this remark: "We'll
get a cut of the gate, or there will
be nothing doing for a game." A
he wa only an amateur, he got hi
cut. When the Mui phy-lid-lt
played the tt. Paul team In Omaha
several year ago, at Kontenelle
park, the Murphy team alao wanted
a cut of the big eerie, nnd. a they
were only "amateur," they got their
cut. Two weeks ago tha South
Omaha, Merchant and Woodmen of
the World played at Ilourke park
before a crowd of C.UOO paid admis
sions. Do the olllcials call that
"amateur?" The same thing hap
pened every Sunday at Fort Omulia.
