In thoa worda did tSfcrctary of State JJukIr

in Koitton. CeorKca CJcmcnccau, wIiomu profoaaioiml

America with another diajfiiona and a new prescrip

in what the former premier of France will have to
ay, and he ijuitc poaaihly will enjoy a peritoiial
triumph from the time he bind next Haturday to
bis departure a month hence. Yet not all hi elo
quence and power of pemuariion can alter the
fact, o irmly held in the Amer'unn mind and
voiced hy Secretary Jlughc when he aald:

jdritioim." America will Jihten, not cynically, but with the
utmoKt fricndlineaa and without any jrnpulo to
mix in the muddled affair abroad. In the "Tijfcr"
of France it will nee an old man of 81 year, admir
able for hi devotion to hi choncri cause and pitiful
in hia outworn and mi taken theories of statecraft,
terrible in hi cynical attitude toward the human
OHpiration for a decent world, yet attractive in hi
kindly, humorou pcronaJ relation. Those Ameri
cans who make themselves the tool of his propa
ganda will rot find much sympathy.
None more than he, with his obsolete idea of
peace by force, was responsible for the errors of
the Treaty of Versailles. Secret though those ses
sions were, yet America know well the skepticiom
and ruthless resolve with which he broke down the
determination of President Wilson and defeated the
aspirations of the United States. It is announced
that among the calls to be made by Clemenceau will
be one on the former president in hia Washington
home. One may imagine his laughing up his sleeve
on such occasion.
Though Col, E. M. House, Bernard Baruch and
Thomas Lamont will be among the hosts of this
great Frenchman, he was never fully converted to
their admiration for the League of Nations. In
fact, his signature was not given until reassuring
promises had been given by Wilson and Lloyd
Ccorge of a permanent defensive alliance between
America, England and France. It will be ' lie rest
ing to watch his treatment of this unauthorized
pledge, and to see also his handling of the delicate
question of the cancellation of France's debt of
$3,716,000,000. There are differences of opinion,
too, between France and England in regard to Ger
many, Russia and Turkey that may be-aired.
New York will hear the "Tiger," and Boston,
Philadelphia. Baltimore, Chicago and St. Louis. He
will speak in English with, it is said, a decided
American accent acquired in his youth when he
taught in a New England college. What he has to
say is important, though he has now no relations
with the present government of his country. To
an extent he will revive American interest in
France, but any effort to enlist support for France's
national policies will surely fail. Secretary Hughes
has said it: Europe must compose its own differences.
COLD WEATHER AND CASUAL WORKERS.
A ribald song of long ago, occasionally heard yet,
had a line to the effect that "Nobody knows where
the hobo goes." A 'news dispatch from Aberdeen,
S. P., carries this illuminating information on the
point:
"During t lie iMn-t fi- ihkIiIh an iivei-itu? of ne

Thcue are the casual laborers, the men who mne
from place to place, doing the emergency work that
is offered. They follow the harvest in the summer,
the roin picking lr the fall, Grading job and simi
lar employment afford them uncertain livelihood,
but for the most prt ihry K frm jb to job and

PROTECTING NATURAL SCENERY.
National park officials are In convention at Yos.
mite, where the first question discussed ia that of
bow to protect the natural scenery of the country.
One of the answers which leaps raost readily to
the lips is, "It can't be done."
Not that the American people are naturally
vandals, or lacking in appreciation for the outlook,
or devoid of artistic or esthetic qualities. For the
moat part they are poetic, and love to drink in
nature's beauty; however, they have come to as
sociate It with doings of man, and find the land
scape in all directions enchartced by more or less
ambitioua announces of varloua wares or emporiums,
hostleries and the like, until a foreign visitor goes
away appalled by our enterprise but regretting he
saw so little of the real country he went through
on the train.
Park aupervisors can do much to preserve the
conditions they find In the parks, and no work of
man is likely to seriously disturb the picturesque
grandeur, the stupendous magnificence of the moun
tain peaks of the west; the sublime vistas of the
rolling prairies, the variegated eipanse of desert, or
the opulence of sunrise or sunset in Nebraska, To
preserve certain areas as pleasure grounds for the
people is one of the most commendable undertakings
of the federal government, and the protection of all
their atractions is desirable.
But, as long as man has anything to offer, he
will advertise it, and the science of advertising has
advanced materially since the day an enterprising
vintner hung a bush alongside the bridlepath to an
tiounce to the wayfarer that near by refreshment
could be found. "Good wine needs no bush," yet the
constant advertiser is the one who gete the trade,
and It will be quite awhile before the view from
the train will be entirely unobscured by the effort
of somebody to announce to the world that he haa
something to sell.

TRIAL DUE FOR WHITE.
We have no desire to see old Bill Allen White
go to jail. Neither do we think that Henry J. Allen
want to send his playmate to prison. An issue
has been joined between them, however, that should
be settled.
When the railroad shop hands' strike began last
July, Editor White put a placard in his office win
dow, expressing sympathy for the strikers. Editor
Allen, who happens to be governor of Kansas as
well, held Editor White's action to be contrary to
the r-tatules of the sovereign state of Kansas. Mr.
While persisted until placed under arrest; he then
withdrew the offending card, and advised all others
to do the same, pending a hearing in the courts of
the state.
Now, the governor proposes that the trial be
postponed until after January I, when he will no
longer be in office. Mr. White objects, saying he
wants to be tried while the governor still is in of
fice, so that the case will be prosecuted without any
soft-pedal attachment.
We incline to the position taken by Mr. White,
lie has been accused of doing something that ia
contrary to law; believing he ia within his rights,
he now wants to be tried, so that the point will be
settled. In this way a guidepost will be set up for
others.

and that nearly a score of wives ar

ara already under arrest. Ona of them
Is said to hav confessed that ahe had
fed poison not merely to her first bus
band, but to three others married In
turn, supposedly sfter decent Inter
vals of widowhood.
Those who follow the general trend
of court proceadfnga throughout the
country ara sstlsHed that the Irmnu
nlty that only a little while, ago was
almost Inevitable for the woman homi
cide, provided she had shown the good
judgment to select her husband or

In I'hlladelphla a few days ago of the
double murderess, Mrs. Catherine

coming about, but these cases, espe.

rounded by circumstances that differ

murderesses. From different sections,
reports come that Juries are less sus
ceptible to the sppeal of hosh, are
demanding more positive testimony as
to the state of mind at the moment
of the crime's commission and the
Just lib ation therefor, and with more
and more frequency are returning
verdicts of guilty. The case of Mrs.
Mabel Champion at Cleveland Is a
typical one? Of course, there were
no complications resulting from the
affections In this case. Hhe had shot
a man with whom her husband was
quarreling. But all the ancient arts
by which the exculpation of women
defendants has been sought were cm
ployed In her case. Including elaborate
costumes and attractive poses, and
failed. Hhe was given 20 years.
The hardening of Judicial hearts
toward murderesses Is said to bo due
In part to the fact that Juries now
often have women members. But un
doubtedly much of the change of at
titude Is due to woman's new posi
tion in the world. She Is looked on
less as a creature In an entirely dif

many of men's rights and privileges

Allen and Editor White disagree as to just what
the law means, ordinary people are bewildered. A
good course ia always to obey the law, yet even that
is not easy, for frequently sorn e of the law'a
provisions are obscure or ambiguous. Tests in court
decide what the law means, and that seems to be
what is needed in Kansas.
MEN AND THE LAW.
An Omaha business man sat at lunch with a
pair of acquaintances, and inveighed against the
laxity of the law. He especially was indignant as
to the futility of the indeterminate sentence law,
placing on the judges, responsibility for what he
complains ia the failure to adequately punish crime.
Why does he talk that way? In one day's issue
of the paper he may read of a man in Oklahoma
being sentenced to one day in the penitentiary
after being found guilty of stealing two bath tubs;
of a prisoner sent from Omaha to start a life sen
tence entering prison with 'a smile and leaving be
hind word that he intends to behave himself, so that
he can soon earn a parole; of another prisoner, sent
up for murder committed in pursuit of another
felony, applying for pardon, with a petition signed
by 100 Omaha citizens, who ask for his liberation
because he, bore a good reputation prior to being
convicted.
In what way ii the law to be blamed in either of
these cases?
Men may be mistaken as to the application of
the law. Wide room for honest difference of opin
ion as to guilt or the severity of punishment may
exist, but this does not reflect on the law.
When a healthy public sentiment is aroused, not
a spasmodic explosion of indignation, nor an equally
deplorable manifestation of maudlin sentiment, the
law will shine once more aa an efficient expression
of human effort to deal with crime. Steadfastness
on part of the people will do more to theck the
crime wave than much discussion; the law is of serv
ice just as it is observed, and its enforcement ia
wise or otherwise according to the acts of men who
administer it.

many other naliuiis on lit proposal to forbid all
foreigners holding real etate, or to lease property

From the Wichita Beacon.
The result of the election yesterday
Is an exemplification of the fact that
public opinion is often like a violently
disturbed pendulum which goes from
one extreme to another before resum
ing regular motion.
The tremendous economic and politi
cal disturbance caused by the war
created an Intense dissatisfaction
among the people perhaps greater
than the facts actually justified.
Tresiilent Harding was elected by the
greatest majority ever given a candi
date. His election was accompanied
by a great republican landslide. It
was inevitable that there most be n
swlngback. Republican political ex
perts down in their hearts expected
it. though they hoped to stave it off.
The 1920 landslide was too big to
hold In Its tracks.
The peonle exnected fnr too much
of the new administration. The eco
nomics of the country were in a very
unhealthy condition. To restore the
country to a sane, normal level within
two years after the welter of war and
the wrenching and tearing disturb
ances to foreign credits and markets
was an utterly Impossible task.
The republican party Inherited the
worst economic mes that any politi
cal party ever hud wished upon It.
Government bonds were far below
par. There was a huge nation! debt.
The unhealthy high prlcea of the war
period had created aji unhealthy ap
petite for more of trie same kind.
The Wilson administration w ex
travagant, wasteful and Inefficient
and It had thrown American Industry
Into chaos by gross favoritism to cer
tain crafts and by surrender to
rointn pressure. Agriculture had been
left without adequate protection.

Wages of Hie I'neklllrd.
Krom iha Slum city Trunin.
r, II. A. Garfield, president of Wil
liams college and former federal fuel
administrator, has come out and said
it. He declares that unskilled lubnr
Is entitled only to a wags surrlclent to
support ona person, the worker him
self, and that he has no claim to a
wage which would enablo him tu sup
port a family. Dr. Uurfleld quite
cleverly puts his argument on an "up
lift" plane. He explains:
"The reason back of the proposal
Is (lie welfare of the utUkillcd. Wa
II begin by being unskilled and ac-
onlre skill in proportion to the effort
.and Intelligence used In Improving our
opportunities. Tha rewards of labor
are In part wages and In pert some
thing much more valuable, namely
time to devote to self-Improvement
aud protection against natural and
social hazard. The unskilled employe
ought not to receive more In wages
than ought to keep him In good work
ing condition with enough over to
bear his part of providing for the
facilities and protection necessary to
his welfure.
As far as one can determine from
reading the reports of the doctor's
statements, ho goes on the presump
tion that the unskilled worker gets
wages In money and In leisure time,
and that the small financial remu
neration will force the worker to
make good use of this leisure in fit
ting himself for a better and more
paylpg Job.
Hut Dr. Oiirlleld s presumption
looks alarmingly like a delusion. Un
happily It Is lyually the poor un
skilled laborer who has to put in the
longest hours with his nose to the
grindstone, whllo It Is the skilled man
or woman who profits by the eight
hour day. It is not often that a la
borer after wielding a pick for ten
hours or more feels like spending his
'leisure In bettering himself.
Vet there Is a Kpartan quality to
the doctor's remarks which will prove
attractive lo many. It may be re-
ailed that Dr. tlarfleld'a father, mar
tyred president of the United states,
began life In poverty and earned
money by hard manual labor to edu
cate himself. Kut not every unskilled
lulioi-er Is a Janiea A. Garfield.
A more humanitarian Idea than that
expressed by Dr. Garfield is that the
unskilled laborer should be paid
enough so that his children may rise

a word of commendation tu The Oma

opener to many of his heretofore
loynl supporters and had a direct
bearing upon the result of the cam
paign. Vour expnsurs of his tecord was
passed from a reader to a nonreader
of your paper until It was tha dally

"Buy a Sack of Potatoes."
Alliance, Neb. To the Kdltor of
Tha Omaha Bee: Will you allow us
the privilege of complimenting you
on the editorial published In The
Morning Bee of November 13 on "Buy
a Mack of Potatoes."
There are In storage today In the
potato district of western Nebraska
several million bushels of excellent
potatoes, waiting for a market. In
Box Butte and aurrounding counties,
where moBt of these potatoes are
stored, they represent the profit, or
loss, on a year's work for many of
the growers.
There are no better potatoes grown
than In western Nebraska, where a
combination of altitude, soil and
climate combine to produce the meal
iest and most delicious potatoes
grown, together with unexcelled keep
ing qualities.
It seems to us that the newspapers
and commercial organizations of east
ern Nebraska would give their time
and efforts towards no worthier proj
ect at tnis time than that of "Ktore
Vour Winter's 8upnlv of Nebraska.
Grown Potatoes Now." We preach
the slogan, "Buy Nebraska Made
Goods." Why not reciprocate by
preaching "Buy Nebraska Grown
Foodstuffs," LIDTD C. THOMAS,

Your Family's
1 Happiness i
To Omaha Husbands and Fathers:
OU are concerned, of course, about the future of your family. No
matter what happens to you, you want your wife to be free from
the pinch of financial distress, and you want your children educated
and given a fair start in life.
You probably depend for this protection on your life insurance and other
property you have prudently accumulated. But will your estate, subject to
shrinkage from income and inheritance taxes, probate expenses, loss of se
curities from fire or theft, and possible bad investments, yield enough at five
or six per cent to care for your loved ones as you wish?
In studying the estates of a number of men we have worked out a plan which
we believe will help you secure the result you want a plan that requires no
additional investment or expense on your part (except as you increase your
estate) and that is simple and easily suited to your particular circumstances.
Under this trust plan you place your securities or income bearing property
in our hands, and instruct us, first, to use the income to pay your insurance
premiums, and afterward, to pay the income and principal of your securities
and insurance money to such persons as you name, in such amounts and at
such times as you specify.
We keep your securities and insuiance policies in our aults, safe from fur
and theft, subject to your inaction at any time; collect the inter??! and
matuiing investments promptly and rcimetl at you direct; make income lav
reports for the truil estate; pay oui imurance premiums promptly; and ad
minister your securities and imuiame money at you lue diietlrd witlaitit
the delay, nj-en and puMnily incident to private couit prixedure. I Lor
may alo be substantial savings in imom and inheritance Ue.
