NEI0HBORS DREAD OF NEIGHBOR.
Colonel llouae rvturna from Europe with the
statement that the whole eecret of the trouble over
there li feer. One nation dread another, and ao
all keep ever on the alert, aunpectinK the motive of
every one, quentioninir the attitude of neighbor,
and li'ilnc all rhance for recovery beraune of di
trunt. Failure to understand one another keepa the
nation apart on queition of mutual interent, where
mutual truKtfuIntu would lead directly to mutual
hvlpfulneaa. Disarmament la only one of the thing
they can not accomplinh; restoration of lOiial and in
dustrial life, th rebuilding of a world destroyed by
war, is held back because each nation feels it must
go It alone.
National anpirations are in main blanieable for
this situation, and national aspiration a expressed
today are generally the fruit of old-time politic,
secret diplomacy, undcr-the hat treaties, and all the
long train of evil that were fostered in the chsn
cellorir of Europe of the day before 191 1. Amai
ing disclosure of duplicity between atatesmen, of
phrase-Juggling and deliberate deception were mad
be passed. That much la certain. Time can not dim i 'hf n th wrret archive of th overthrown nation
the memory of the brave and loyal sacrifice of Amer
ica'a youth in the world war. A nation' gratitude
tan never fade into a token no more aubttantial than
a vote of thunka and car for the sorely wounded.
Attempts will be made to extract political capital
from Preiilent Haiding't veto of the five-fold ad

gone on, In and out of congress, on this post-war
problem hae confused public opinion. That much,
at least was revealed by the poll of the Literary Ii
gest, in which 4flH.fi 14 vote were cast in favor of the
bono, and 441,221 against.
The narrow margin in this unofficial referendum
is not conclunive, either way. In spit of everything, the diplomatist of the Old World can sit in hirt-
were opened up by new governments, and the world
breathed easier for a moment, because it was hoped
a new day had dawned and a new life had been be
gun. Experience show th am old game being played
according to the same old rules. It is unfair to
' charge one nation more than another with responsi
bility. The United States of Europe is not much
nearer realization than it was in July, 1914, or when
the Derlin conference set up the "balance of pow
er." A new spirit must prevail, trust must replace
fear, nation must approach nation in confidence and
amity, before health will be restored in Europe. When

America' veterans of the world war are entitled to
and will ultimately receive substantial recognition
of their services. It may be that the proper wy to
provide this compensation baa not yet been found.
The president point out that congress in thia
bill failed to point out any source of revenue. To
add $4,000,000,000 to the national debt in this man
ner would be to add an impossible burden, he de
clares. Tha first year's cost of the bonus, it is point-

because men do not trust one another.
A COMMUNITY CHEST FOR OMAHA.
Those Omaha clergymen who are protesting
cd out, would wipe out the aving made in the year against the continual demand that they devote their
and a half of the present administration.
This emphasi on the need for national economy
makes it easy to understand Mr. Harding' position.
Th Yank who dared the peril of the submarine,
and of hand-to-hand fighting in the trenches would
not now auk anything that would endanger the finan
cial welfare of the nation that they defended at the
cost of many casualties.
Even so, the conviction i by no mean general
that some proper way to reward the veterans ran
not be found. With all the sacrifice the nation made
in war, it may be expected to make one final sacri
fice for the benefit of it defenders.
America' veterans of the world war may await
thin issue in confidence. It would be a mistake to
endeavor to make a political Issue of the bonus ques
tion. Recognition will come more Bwiftly and eurely
if opportunity is given for public sentiment to adjust
itself to this duty. Much better would it be for com
pensation to come as a result of a less divided public
opinion than for it to be forced by consideration of
political expediency.
Public sentiment In Nebraska, regardless of poli
tic, favor the bonus bill. It ha never been regard
ed as the best possible measure, yet it seemed the only
plan to secur Immediate result. If a better way
can be devised, one that meet the president' serious
objections it should be brought forward without
delay. A republican congresa passed the law Just
vetoed by a republican president. They should be
able, together, with a substantial public opinion, to
VFork out a final solution.
BEHIND THE BULKHEAD.
Down the black depth of the Argonaut, almost a
mile below th urface of the) earth, forty-evea
brav men made their last stand against the fate
that finally overtook them. One by one, they dropped
pflf, silently urrendering to the deadly gas that stifled
sense and life. Scant enough are the records left
behind; clothing stripped from bodies to stuff into
eracka in a hastily constructed bulkhead tell of the
gallant, cool manner in which the doomed miners
ought to evade the stealthy approach of the enemy
that menaced them. So far as disclosed death found
' these men with courage undimmed, souls undaunted,
parting from life with no sign of aweakcning.
The darkness of the pit covers the tragedy of the
'Argonaut, but nothing can obscure the heroism of
the men who sought to save the doomed miners.
Driving ahead, day after day, hour after hour, fight
ing solid granite, slimy muck, the ooze of water
dripping from the rocky walls of the tunnel they
. it. liu fftiipi from evnloded
were coring, tnr air " .
! aermons to appeals for financial aid for one chari
table enterprise after another have their congrega
tions pretty solidly behind them. It is not that such
causes are undeserving of support, but that the
preaching of the gospel should not thus be subordi
nated to money raising.
A Baptist minister asserts that his church has re
ceived 12 such appeal in the last two months. There
are not enough Sundays in the month to meet these
calls. Much better would it be to consolidate the
various fund raising campaign, formulate a charity
budget, and meet all the demands in a single week.
Why not a clearing house for the charities of
Omaha? Save the giver the annoyance of continual
solicitation for an endless number of worthy agencies
and organizations.
It is time that Omaha should consider the estab
lishment of a community chest that would care for
all the demands upon its charity. More than 60
American cities already have central financial organ
izations and conduct one campaign a year for the
support of social work.
A leader in this very practical and efficient move
ment is Cleveland. There are 110 charitable agencies
in that city, each sharing in the annual budget of
$3,700,000, regardless of color, creed or nationality.
Duplication of effort is thus eliminated, the cost of
collecting funds is minimized, and co-operation is
substituted for -competition. The successful opera
tion of the community chest plan there should prove
an inspiration to Omaha. '
It is not only the Omaha ministers and their
congregations that suffer from the existing loose
methods of financing good causes. Business offices
also are called on to deal with too many individual
solicitors, some of whom work on commissions that
might be saved by getting the entire community be
hind a city-wide, simultaneous co-operative campaign.
The ministers of Omaha have called attention to
(lie impossible condition that has grown up through
the failure of relief agencies to provide a co-ordinated
plan of action. This Is the proper starting point.
Let the churches concede one more day to the prob
lem of organized charity and let the pastors dis
cuss the advisability of the community chest plan,
making evident the fact that social work is an obli
gation of citizenship and that giving should be made
a pleasure instead of a bore.

Auburn Republican: "Every ship
load of gooila that we keep out by
tariff fixea mean a shipload of
American product which cannot be

Senator Hitchcock, democrat of N'
braaka. Let us analyze that state
ment In rtveree. I. ., "every ship
load of goods that we bring In by
free trade means a ahlplond of
American products which can be sold
abroad." Doesn't sound so reason
able, does It? If w let In a few
i hundred shiploads of European and
Oriental manufactures, and Argen
tinian, Australian, Canadian, African
and Cuban agricultural products to
undersell our own produot in our
own market, where will American
manufacturers and farmers go for a
market? And without a market what
becomes of them?
But if American producers control
their home market that will Insure
maxim ii in production, which means
minimum unit cost with which to
compete In foreign fields. And re
member, ours 1 a $50,000,000,000
market, while it will require some
years under normal conditions to de
velop a foreign market for American
goods averaging $5,000,000,000. What
do you think of Hitchcock aa an
economist?
Hcatrlce fexpress: A prominent
democratic paper remarks that "the
fact that western farmers are not
ruHhlng their wheat to market this
summer indicates that they are in
stronger financial poeltion than gen
erally nupposcd." Undoubtedly, and
they are In better financial condition
because of the changed policies of
the government under a republican
administration. The democratic re
gime seemed to do everything pos
sible to embarrass the farmer.
Tax Ilcdnction.
St. Edawrd Advance: The fondest
pledge of the democratic candidates
is how they are going to reduce
taxes 20 per cent. This pledge
would be worthy of consideration by
voters if they would explain how
they expected to turn the tiick.
But their promised reduction is but
an Idle dream and one they cannot
hope to fulfill. Fact shows that of
all the taxes paid but 1! pro cent
goes to the state, and should Mr.
Bryan and his colleagues be fortu
nate enough to linrt tnelr hoped-for
positions they will find 1 necessary
to pay back to the taxpayers 1 per
cent of the mojiey paid in the past
If the will make good their pre
election pledgee.

Campaign Bunk.
Cordon Journal: The campaign Is
on and the different candidatea are
traveling about the state making
speeches and telling what they will
accomplish If they are elected.
Among these Is "Brother Charley"
Bryan, the democratic candidate for
governor. In an address of more
than an hour and a quarter Rt Polk,
Neb., the other day he told tho audi
ence all that he would do, and as
serted that should he be elected he
could reduce state taxes fully 20 per
cent as a starter.
His talk wsa followed by one by
Attorney General Davis, who an
alysed the tax situation and chal
lenged the statement of th demo
cratic candidate. He showed that
out of every dollar In taxe paid In
goes to the
cents B cents
gees Tor education, 1 centa for the
support of the unfortunates in the
tttte hospitals and home. 3 cent

Tlie Lure of Money.
From (lie OS In Hutu Journal.
After 17 years' service as treas
urer of Hennepin county, Mlnneaotn,
Henry C. Hanks appeared In court.
ramitted he had stolen more than
touu.uuu entrusted to his care and
oeionging 10 ma county and was
mimed away to the penitentiary.
It'a a long Journey from a position
of trust and honor In his home city
to a felon's cell at Ktillwater, but
he made it. The city was shocked
when the first story appeared that
he was a defaulter. He was regarded
as an honest man, was immensely
popular, had been elected over and
over, was a member of secret and
fraternal bodies and had been hon
ored by them. Ho had a home, fam
ily, reputation, unusual prospects.
He sacrificed all for the lure oi
money.
The court Imposed a long term
In prison, as wns right. The law
provides it for the offence of steal
ing tho funds. JuKtlce demands it
for the moral harm he did. It U
no slight offense for a trusted nublh
official to make way with $500, 00b
belonging to the taxpayers, but that
onense la not so grievous as thi
harm he did to the morals of tha
community In shaking public con
fldence in men. Probably no othei
nffenHe he may have been able to
commit would so shatter faith In
mankind as the stealing of money
hold by him in trust. So long as
the present generation lives the per
fidy of Henry Hanks will live to b
a wrong example for all the boys ol
that city and state. He sinned
figalnst humanity. If his stay in
prison had been made proportionate
to the moral harm he did he would
end his days in his cell.
What can be in the heart and
mind of a man, trusted as he had
been, popular as he was, to throw
away his chances and his life that
he might have for a time a few
dollars not his own? Students of
human weakness have often studied
that subject, wondered and souRht
to know how, In what way, under
what circumstances, the first break
down came. Men do not stop to
count tho cost at that time, do not
consider disgrace and the wreck of
a life, give no thought to tho hor
ror and diNgrace that cannot be
avoided. If they but stopped to
think clearly of what wns certain to
come, there would be few defalca
tions, few wrecks such as they
bring.

Too Many Divorces.
Omaha. To the Editor of Ttho
Omaha Bee: One cannot pick up a
paper without the divorce list staring
him In the face, almost equaling tho
niuiriage list in -length. It Is dis
gusting and almost criminal the way
divorces are granted. The basis Is
"cruelty," a stereotyped expression.
I will state before going farther
that all men are not saints, neither
are women, and nearly all applica
tions are made by women. Why?
The average woman is expensive.
and if she does not get the finances
that she wants a system of nagging
and fault-finding Is established on

the part of tho wife to such an ex
tent that It cause the husband to
say and do thing that he would not
do tberwiae. Therefore complaint
of cruelty Is the plea for a divorce
in that case th wlf Is at fault.
I do not claim that all cases are
of this description, but too manv are.
Now, I would suKKcst that alimony.

people be not allowed to ever marry
Dt;ain; make it n crime tn do so.
I am of the opinion that It would
have a tendency to decrease divorces
for thu rMon that alimony I too
easily obtained, nnd that I what the
average woman isnflcr. Adultery or
habitual drunkenness dhould be the
only cause, for divorce and should be
so stated In tho application.
