That ia why aurh importance attathct to the ihar.

farm. He ia not celebrated becauae of achievementa
in the realm of politics, but aa a pioneer he made a
aucreat aa a farmer.
Another of hla attributea ia that ho potaeiaea in
high degree thoae homely qualitiea of heart and aoul
that endear a man to hit neighbora. Kindly and
genial by habjt, he haa walked alongside the people
of hia home community, and haa aharcd w ith them the
joya and pleaaurea aa well aa the hardahipa and dis
comforte of life that ia clota to nature. Such a man
doea not alwaya become widely known even In a life
time, but he will be greatly loved by thoae who know
him.
That ia the man who ia offered the people of Ne
braaka by the republicana aa a candidate for gov
ernor. He geta hia knowledge of the problems of
the farmer from first-hand experience, not from the
inspiration derived from the aerrecy of contultation
over a mahogany desk in a private office. Randall
knowa, because he haa worked with the farmer; Bry
an surmises, because hia farming- haa been In the
manager'a office of an enterprise that only remotely
touchra the farm.
Whatever name Randall baa made for himself
haa been built up on a solid foundation of honest ef
fort and sincere understanding. His opponent's chief
claim to fame ia that he ahines in the light reflected
from a distinguished brother rather than because of
anything he has ever done for himself; and that
brother's achievementa have taken the form of worda
and not of deeds, tome of which worda he is now
Vainly trying: to recall.
Charlea H. Randall is not a politician, Charles W.
Bryan is.
Nebraska ns will not hesitate long in making their
choice when tha qualifications of the two men are
carefully compared, apd their records are examined.
fouryears, he showed, American lnvetora have pur
chased more theji 13,000,000,000 worth of foreign
securities. This export of capital has financed many
industries, enrouraged production and provided em
ployment for people that otherwise would live in
idleness and misery.
It it through Jut auch voluntary and unofficial
means aa this that problems of international finance
and trade are to be met. So, alio, ia the queatlon of
tho allied debt to the United States to he answered
satirfactorily. Our $11,000,000,000 can be col
lected, and without swamping our country with for
eign goods. Thete investments in overseas indue
triea ahow the way. Mr. Crissinger haa given a com
plete refutation to thoae who dishonor the good name
of America by asserting that our country has" done
nothing to aid international stabilisation and is ig
noring the needs of the outside world.
A FOOL-PROOF ACCESSORY.
So numerous are automobiie accidents, both in
the cities and along country roads, that it ia hot sur
prising that inventors should turn their wits toward
automatic aafety devices. The Scientific American
reports the newly begun manufacture of a device
that appliea the brakes, cuts off ignition and ""blows
the horn of a motor car the very instant that pressure
of 15 pounds comet against a patented wire bumper.
It ia aaid that complete atopp'age, of a passenger car
is made by the automatic means in one-third of the
time and one-half of the distance required by skilled
driven.
Fractiona of seconds count for much in case of
a motor accident. With this in mind the inventor
has arranged a button on the dashboard by which a
driver, aeeing himself being rushed into a collision,
can stop hia car much sooner than with foot or hand
brakes.
Pedestrians will be glad to hear that even though
knocked down by a car, the force ia minimized by
the resiliency of the wire bumper, and there is less
Sanger of being run over because the automatic
control has already stopped the car the instant pres
sure it felt Insurance companies are said to be
pleased also that with ignition thus cut off,, there is
HUle danger from fire.
The on drawback is from" the point of view of
the careless or heartless motorist who deserts his
victim. Tho invention stops the car and thus delays
flight. This all sounds as attractive to the police as
to the populace afoot. One can not be too sure of
:he success e such remarkable sounding inventions,
but doubtless a day will come when automobiles are
manufactured with some simple safeguarding device.
WOMEN AND THE WORLD.
When one attempts to list the human qualities
that seem most necessary to the establishment of a
better world, a great many of them appear to be
those most characteristic of women. It is not for
nothing that war is customarily represented by a mas
culine figure and peace as feminine, and there is rea
son, too. in the personification of blind justice and
of mercy in womanly robes.
The entry of women into public affaira and their
widespread interest in world problems is one of the
most reassuring features of the present situation.
These are the reserves tn the battle for a better ad
justment of life a struggle in which all ef us.
whether w s realise it or not, are engaged.
Sir Charlea Wakefield, head of tha Sulgrave com
mission that haa recently come to America from Eng
land, does not put it too ttrong when ho declares that
the women of tho United States aro one of the great
est asseta of civilisation. Their imagination, energy
and spiritual insight, he explains, art highly valuable
to modern eoclety. Always women hava played a
part In tho making of hittory, but now, with their
inereaed atudy and Information on currant quoa
tiona, and with their ballots, they take a mors
prominent and promising plat than aver before.
AN INSULT TO THE SERVICE MEN.
In the effort to make political capital out of Pres
ident Harding's veto of the aoldier bonus, the World
ilerald, Wednesday, commented in a way that ia rot
only an insult to every loyal service man, but cornea
near the border line of sedition, if indeed it does
rot go over the line:
War ia indred hell. Tha soldier boye cunnot
be too harnhty Judged if they conclude that the
moat niiUfArtory ny to serve one'e country Is
not to bare your breast In Its defense, not to sac
rifice and suffer for Ita flag; on shell-torn fields,
but to amy aafely at home and grow fat off the
opportunltlea provided by Its follies and Its mis
fortunes." ,
The loyal service man will very -properly resent
this inault to his patriotism and the voicing of this
doctrine, to menacing to the country for which he
risked his life. Here, indeed, is an insult to the sol
dier and In invitation to the young man of tha future
to leave his country defenseless in a future emer
gency. It waa to be expected that an attempt would be
made to make partisan politics out of the president's
veto of the bonus law. It must come with surprise
and amazement that partisan politics would go thus
far.
The bonut bill wat passed by a republican con
gress over an opposition that numbered many demo
crats in its membership. It was repassed over the
president'a veto i the republican house and only
lacked four votes of the required two-thirds ma
jority for re-passage in the republican senate. . The
state platform of the republican party in Nebraska
calls for a soldier bonus, and Judge Perry, the repub
lican state chairman, telegraphed President Harding
a request for the approval of the bill. The veto
came mainly on the ground that the measure carried
with it no method of securing the necessary funds.
Such comment as that in the WorldJlerald Wed
nesday morning is silly as well as incendiary. The
effort to make partisan profit from this national
question is an insult to the honor and intelligence
of the American veterans. It may catch a few un
wary minds, but it will hurt the cause of the bonus
as a whole, for it makes of the dignified and honest
claim of the soldiers a mest of pottage.
HOW TO AVOID TROUBLE.
A young woman confesses that she defrauded the
firm of which she was a trusted employe. Defend
ing, tr rather explaining, her action, she tofls a story
that at best is fantastic. It may be true, but it
holds such elements as amaze the reader, whether he
wants to believe it or not. '
Conceding that the tale she tells is a recital of
facts, it yet is not an ample defense. Some reason
able support is given her recital by the corroborating
statements of others as to her distraught condition.
Her greatest mistake was in not confiding to some
body the trouble she bore, and through advice and
assistance of others, taking steps to free herself from
tho incubus of the criminal who she felt held her in
his power. Officers of the law, ministers of the gos
pel, women social workers, the man who sought her
hand .in honorable marriage, all were within reach,
and any would help her.
Young men and women, and old ones, too, should
realize that this old world, bad as it i holds more
of human hympathy and loving kindness than it does
of cynicism and hatred. Kindly souls are always with
in reach, ready to grasp the hand or tho troubled or
dittretsed, and to aid in getting out of difficulties
those who through inexperience or carelessness have
Involved themselves. Tho way back is rot at easy
aa the road going down, but it can be traveled. Dis
grace ia certain if the first misstep is followed by an-
other.
And, finally) the law protects aa well at punishes.
Alt should be familiar with thit fart. In a commun
ity lika Omaha, wher all tba machinery of civilisa
tion la operative, and a many refusal and aafeguarda
art afforded, there It little reaton for anyone bacom

About a year ago Senator Norrla
In a vlgnroua attack upon flanator
Hitchcock showed from tha record
how the latter waa alwaya apro
graasive and humanitarian when hla
tot and hla party waa In lh mi
nority, and alwaya a reactionary
when hla vote and hla party counted.
Aa the chairman of th acnatn'a
foreign relatione committee Senator
"Hitchcock must have known that hla
chief. Woodrow Wilson, waa charged,
A early aa ll, by Cantaln Tardleu,
with having promised France, In the
event h could not bulldoM tho
I'nlted S'atea senate into ratification
of the Veraalllea treaty with Ita
league of nation without the dotting
of an "I." France would have the
consent of tha United Plates to oc
cupy th Rhine territory a consent
which he unlawfully because uncon-
atltutionally gave Indefinitely and
unconstitutionally. Senator Hitchcock
must hava known, as the then chair
man of the foreign relations commit
tee. that European neutral govern'
menta had entered protest against
some of the actiona of the French
occupation forceB. But, when in a
pneltlon of power, not a aten wna
taken, excepting hla admitted "look
ing Into It," and that then the "mat
ter had quieted down."
Then Senator Hitchcock was In a
position to submit a report to the
United States senate demanding that
France remedy tha alleged wrongs
and put a atop to theae atrocttlea.
Now Senator Hitchcock Is pleading
especially. It la Interpreted by many,
for the votes of German-American

nate conclusion.
Awkward Dancing.
From tha Bulla Pt.
The New York convention of danc
ing masters declared that feminine
awkwardnesa, rather than conscloua
or Intenflo.ial indecency, ia reaponsl-
ble for most of the vulgar dancing'
of recent years. "The average girl,"
raid one expert, "simply doesn't
know how to dance," and the clieek-
lo-check business, thp hugging
matches and otler Indelicacies are
Indulged In' to cover up deficiencies.
The poor dancer simply does the best
she can.
There may .'be something In this
explanation, even though It cannot
nccount completely for the breaking
down of old-fashioned modesty In
the dance. It lts true, It points the
way to effective reform, In either
dancing styjes or clothing styles.
Tell a girl that her clothing or
conduct is "Immodest" and if ahe
ia Interested at all she ta Inclined
to be resentful and defiant. But ex
plain that it ia awkward or ugly,
and that she la making a disagree
able spectacle of herself when she
might make a pretty and graceful
picture, and ahe may alt up and take
notice also leasons. It ta good busl
nesa as well aa good ethics for the
dancing teachers.

Th firand Army of th republic,
ion to hold Ita annual encampment
In )e Molnea, had Ha beginning
in liidlanapnlla at year ago when,
according In an article In tha Nrw
York Kvrnliig Poet. Pr. Benjamin
K. 8tphnu.i of Iei'Aiur, III., got
together a amall group of veterans,
then all young men.
Organisation waa completed In
April, a month more !ntltpafly aa
aociated than any other, .perhaps,
with our military hlatory, and tti
f Iran niijjotijil encampment began
In th aatua year at Indlanapolle,

Thr I no record of th early
meinberahip tola la. Special mem
bership rampelgna brought Hie
total to II. It In 1171. th flrat
year for which the figures are avail
able. Th growing influence of
tha O. A. H. In public affnlra helped
to Increase lh nicmbrahlp, tha
hlgheat total of which ws not
reached until 1130, when 40!,4S9
were reported In good standing.
The net encampment showed a
Inaa of 2,n0 and the number have
steadily declined alnc tlnill now
tha total Is eatlt.inted at only about
S3 nOO,
The comparatively alow growth
of the O. A. R. for th more than
IS year after the civil war and
th f;ict that It did not attain
maximum numerical atrength until
2h years after th war affords mo
Intereatlng comparlxou with the
tremendous growth of the American
I-eiflon among the veterans o th
world war. I'oxaibly thia i because
the grand army mru had shown the
way.
At any rate, there Is In thla a
hint of what tho American legion
may be doing 20 or 2i yeara hence
and of what a tremendous force
In public affaira they may become.
Also, the deed tin in membership of
the O. A. II., duo almost wholly to
death, will remind its of the fact
that 25 yeara hence the ranks of the
world war men will begin to thin
