GOOD ROADS AND GOOD FAITH.
Nothing ought to be eaier than to determine
whether highway avlntf if up to specifications.
Heated altercation between contrartori ami taxpay
er ran not settle the question, however useful thy
may le In stirring up public Interest. An official in
riulry into t ho quality of concrete being laid on tha
a milu stretch southwest of Elmwood park would
deride tha whole dispute.
. Pouiclaa county has decided for permanent paving
and ita taxpayers ar iroinj? deep into their pockets
to carry out the hiichway program. The roads must
be durable. If there ar weak spots in tha base they
roust ho eliminnted before the wear and tear of traf
fic hat crumbled whole aectiont away. It would be
folly to lay the finishing surface on bate that
miuht not nupport it.
Two eeta of inveitlgator have lately gone over
this) road. One claimi to have found several flaws,
while the other asserts that the work is up to speci
fications with the exception of certain spots which
the contractor already had decided to repair.
Until the controversy is ended, there should be
no more of the people's money paid out for this pro
ject. Trompt action should be taken "by the county
commisftloners and an expert opinion obtained. The
cause of good roads is injured by the suspicion that
th public is not receiving full value for its expendi
tures. This doubt must be removed, and only by
an impartial, technical Inquiry can this be done.
'. ' NEBRASKA'S FIELD DAY.
. i i .
As kindergarten children learn to play, so may
their elders gain new and wider knowledge of the
wonderful resources of Nebraska amid the amuse
ment! arid exhibits of the state fair. It is a circus
and ft college course in one.
Th blaring of the bands, the lowing of the herds
of fin stock, the hum of agricultural machinery, the
noiss of the crowds of sightseers, mingle in a chorus
to celebrate the harvest. For this week all Nebras
kans are neighbors, and from the farthest comers
of the stat they come to this community event.
Out of their meeting comes renewed appreciation
of the opportunities and ponsibilities of the state, a
spirit of co-operation and mutual understanding.
There is no one in the whole of this state, no
matter what his direct Interests may be, that is not
affected by the state of agriculture. The problems
of production, marketing and the growth and
garnering of the harvest concern the dwellers in
town and city as well as the rural folk themselves.
Nebraska's state fair emphasizes the supreme im
portance of agriculture, and it does more by
demonstrating the progress that is being made in
every direction by the farm men and women.
Thursday has been set antde us Omaha day on
She fair grounds at Lincoln. In view of th grow
ing feeling of kinship between the city and the
farm, more visitors than ever before may be ex
pected to make the pilgrimage, by train or over
the smooth highways that lead to the state capital.
UNITED STATES AND LATIN AMERICA.
. Secretary Hughes will reach Rio de Janeiro thi3
week to take part in the opening of the exposition
that marks the centennial of Brazil's independence.
His presence ordinarily would have little significance
beyond the show of international courtesy and
friendship involved. At the moment, however, it con
tains something mora than an m. of comity.
' Whether justified or not, it is a fact that for soma
years a steady propaganda has boon pushed against
the United States among the lesser republics of the
Americas. Some of this frrcw out of the unfortunate
slate of affairs developed in Mexico as a result of
the disorder prevalent there for so manf years. More,
however, is it the effect of effors on the part of
commercial rlvnln to forestall American commerce
with the Latin American countrtc.
The so-called "dollar diplomacy," inaugurated
under McKinley and derided and abandoned by Wil
son, rested on a basis that in time would have brought
such close understanding at would have been of

BEHIND THE SMOKE SCREEN.
In considering tb issues in the present campaign
It Is wall to consider whether It is desirable that econ
omy in our national government bo continued, or
whether there shall b a return to democratic
travaganc and wast.
As a Irgscy from th last democratic national
administration th country inherited th staggering
debt of 124,000,000,000. Adept in squandering th
taxpayers' money, th democratic administration
proved entirely Incapable of taking any step to meet
its obligations. The voters resdily recognised this
Incompetency, and elected a republican administra
tion to take up th burdens of government.
Th war department, under the democratic re
gime, expended mors than 14,6llO,0UU(OOu from
April, li17, to June, 1919, and a large part of that
money was squandered ruthlessly and with no thought
of getting value received. Fully half of th money
spent was literally dumped into th lap of war con
tractors. Many of these contracts war entered into
after the armfstk was signed, when economy should
hav prevailed. No precaution had been taken for
cancellation of contracts at tha close pf the war,
which good business judgment would have prompted.
In th first year of a republican administration
1360,000,000 was paid on tha principal, and at the
same time the burden of taxes on th people was re
duced 1819,000,000. Through rational conduct of
public business Liberty bonds that were selling for
85 cents wrre brought to par. It was only by in
jecting sound business principles Into our national
government that this could have been accomplished.
In one year under Harding 71,848 useless govern
ment employes wer dropped from tha payroll. In
1920 tha total appropriations were (7,348,259,415.37,
and in 1922, under a republican administration, the
appropriations wers reduced to $3,909,782,209.46.
The democratic candidates and leaders would hav
the voters disregard all of these accomplishments in
economy,
The republican program for economy and effi
ciency in our national government has met with op
position and obstruction from tha democrats in con
gress. A wasteful democratic administration when
compared with a republican economy administration
affords a deadly parallel so plain that even a demo
cratic smoke screen can not shield it.
A MAGNA CHARTA FOR LABOR.
America has reached a point In its development
calling for industrial statesmanship. Th observ
ance throughout the land of Labor day encouragai
this view. There is nothing hopeless or even dis
couraging in the present situation provided it is
viewed calmly as an evolutionary process.
Just as political liberty and democracy arose
slowly and amid every difficulty, so is the better
arrangement of our economic life moving toward
solution.'' Up to the present time there has been
no agreement on the fundamental principles of the
business of production. Disputes between capital
and labor have been left to settlement on th field
of conflict. Strikes, lockouts and shutdowns have
diminished production, to the disadvantage of the
whole public, including both employers and em
ployes. On the one hand was the determination to
concede little, and on the other to demand more.
The wastage of this' primitive arrangement is
admitted on all sides. A pica for a more con
structive national policy was mads in the Labor
day message of W. G. Lee, president of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, in these words:
Instead of continuing a program of reprisals
both capital and labor must agree to a common
sense, fair and practical adjustment of their
differences or there will be what amounts to con
scription of certain classes of both In the Interest
of the common welfare.
In a message to congress last December Presi
dent Harding called attention also to th need for
an industrial bill of rights, saying:
Jn nn Industrial society such as ours, the
strike, the lockout and th boycott are aa much
out of place and u disastrous In their results
as is war or armed revolution in the domain of
politics. This same disposition to reasonableness,
to conciliation, to recognition of the other side's
point of view, the same provision of fair and
recognised tribunal and processes, ought to
maka it possible to solve the one set of questions
as easily ft th other. I believe the solution is
possibln.
The coniidratlon of such a policy would
ncKltate the axorcl of car and deliberation
in th construction of a coito and a charter of
elemental rights, dealing with the relations of
employer and employ. This foundation in th
law. dealing with thtt modern conditions of so
cinl and economla life, would hasten the build
ing of a ttmple of pear In Industry which a re
joicing nation would acclaim.
The prosperity of America depends on the ex
istence of reasonably contented and satisfied work
ers. As long as ther Is constant conflict, this Is
endangered. The underlying principles of indus
trialism have yet to be laid down. An industrial
code, not going so far a the Kansas Industrial court
law, which is no rod at all, but only sets up a
tribunal, is to be hoped for as the mult cf the Joint
thought of the public, which Includes in its member
ship both workers and capital.

In tha larger national matter and
especially with regard to th state

rect issue. There i also a cleavage
In regard to stat taxation and reve
nue. Democrats attack the code taw
and tand for it repeal and "re
grouping of the various (cod) de
partment In th hand of the elect
ed state officials.
Many republican do not wholly
endorse the McKelvle administra
tion, and commend It only where
commendation la due. They are not
satisfied with the operations of the
code law, but they approve or tne
principle of the law and would
amend It and Improve It in the light
of "four years' experience." They
do not claim, in their platform dec
laration, that th law is perfect but
appear to be confident that it can
be made approximately so.
Tha position or the nemocratio
Dartv is that of the party that Is out
of power, taking an attitude of op
position to th party tnat is in, ana
shaping Tsaues accordingly, regard
less of tb accomplishments of the

true In the national sense and hostile
criticism Is Judged accordingly. On
th other hand where criticism is

ascribe such criticism purely to par
tisan hostility. In other worns eacn

The Record Is Mighty Good.
From tha Kannas City Kaman.
Bixty years ago negroes of the
United States were slaves, ana
slavery wa till a dominant mstitu
llnn nVAP innat of South America.
The following facts are gleaned from
mpposeaiy correct sources ran
ng the advance in th race since
hen .
In 60 years negroes In the
TTnlted States have aeauired 22,
000,000 acres of land, as working
farmers, and not as speculators.
They own 600,000 homes and 4R.
000 churches, and operate 78
banks, 100 Insurance companies,
besides 70,000 business enterprises
of various klr.ds, with a capital of
J150,000,000. Illiteracy has been
reduced 2 per cent, due to the
fact that there are more than 400
normal schools and colleges for
negro teachers.
That is an envlnfcl rcord for any

th dlacovtry of bad land In th
making on th Mackansi river In
far northern Canada.
A government agent returning
from Kort Norman, where h wnt
to Inveatlgat th report of oil dls
coverle. told of finding enormous
ouantltle of burning coal and shale
with - great cliffs of molten clay
glowing at night Ilk som strange
Inferno.
Mr. Thomas think that bad lands
much like thou In South Dakota
may be th outcome ot thl atrange
fire. H says:
"It is well known that the fan
tastic and highly colored 'bad lands'
of South Dakota ow their origin
snd conditions to Just such a hap
penlng. In fact soma of th bed
of coal In that region ar still burn
ing. Similar phenomena have been
known in other parts of the world."
Forty square miles In Ohio hsve
become "bad lands" from a mln
fire set during a atrlk mora than
30 years ago. Just how far th
devastation will eventually extend
there nobody know for all attempts
to check or extinguish the fir have
been in vain.
Years ago fir starting spontane
ously or from a lightning flash, or
even from th camp fir of some
prehistoric native may hav formed
the South Dakota "bad lands," and
fire from soAie such origin may be
forming those in northern Canada.
Quite possibly In hundreds of years
the Ohio Held, where the destruction
was deliberately begun, may extend
to an area constituting bad lands of
notable extent.
Adventure Is Ih-lng Overdone.
From th Cincinnati Tlmo-fttar.
There I too much adventure In
the world. It wa not always so.
The fairy tales began "Onca upon a
time" and the Urn was long ago.
Historians like l'rescott and Irving
wrote of the conquest of Mexico and
Peru, the voyages of Columbus and
tho.wars of Spaniard and Moor be
cause in their drab time trior
seemed no adventure nearer home.
Novelists of the '90s, men like Davis
and ParkPr, and Hope and Weyman.
laid their scenes in raw Latin
Amerlch, In colonial Canada, in
mythical Zenda, or in bygone ages
of courtly Intrigue, because they
found nothing that interested them
within their own horizons of time
and space. Of Howells, who describ
ed what was going on around him,
it was said that the only violent
thing recorded In his novels was
where one man threw another's hat
out of the window.
All this is changed. More than
the antique barbarism showed itself
in the world war. The bandits have
moved in from distant centuries and
remote mountain valleys and operate
nlKhtly in the streets of our cities.
The pirates are back in the waters
of Sandy Hook, and when furtive
rum-runner ar boarded at night
they have no mean of knowing,
then or afterward, whether It is by
revenue officers or descendants of
Morgan and Lafitte. Housebreakers
and bank robbers hav so multiplied
that New Vork wants no mors ro
mantic crook plays; audiences
wince at the spectacle ot vlllafny
triumphant.
