The supreme court of the projtJ hiti overrulnl th dt'clnluiii of the rourt ami (he iIicku of the Hi-null! itself pt'i'inii tii.i: him to ink hit seat in congress. .This i no lynching, although Ntwtieriy speak of it at "partisan political persecution," Strong feeling against him wm manifest noj only in Mich iKn, where hi spokesman and associate, Senator Townsend, was recently defeated, but In nil quar ters of the nation. It ma I ten not that in dome case tin- attiuk were led by ilumugugue who were without sincerity, The judgment of the people waa not lumed on thii propaganda, but on th fundu mrntal spirit of democratic government. Possession of rich open many door and give many advantages and should not be a bar to politi cal advancement, hut American are not willing to admit thiil election may fairly be swung to the candidate who hide highest. Immense caampalgn expenditures, even when not corruptly mado, are seen a a menace to the republic. Such content that carried on between Henry Ford and New berry for the senatorshlp, absolutely bar from any chance of election a man of (lender mean. inatanrea have beromo more frequent of late in which candidate! for public office ipend more on their campaign than their entire official salary would amount to. When a candidate already hold office, he has, of course, the advantage of the frank ing privilege and free public printing. That thin come out of the people' taxes instead of from private campaign fund do not improve the cane. Fair pluy in what the American people want in their eduction contest. Politic must not be al lowed to become a rich man' game, nor should anyone seek to take undue advantage of hi politi cal position. These are not entirely new evil, but it i a new conscience that is dealing with them. There has been no evidence of actual corruption in the New berry campaign, yet the tremendous amount of money spent in hi cause doe not fit in with Amer ican political morality. A candidate is not neces sarily a crook because he is willing to upend with out limit to win election, Newberry claim the most lofty motive were back of his fight on Ford. Such may have been the case, and yet the fact that he has now reigned may be accepted a proof of hi dawning realization that his way is not the proper one. The proper way to decide an election i on tht issue of governmental policy for which each man itands. If a candidate actually stand for some great principle, he should be willing to trust the people to decide, and not turn the contest into a battle between pockctbook. The resignation of Newberry is a wholesome thing in many ways. The people brought In the ver dict, and in so doing have established the fact that lavish campaign expenditure are regarded with suspicion and disapproval. The veter of Michigan who four year ago gave him a majority, upon thinking it over, reversed their action. Hi recog nition of thi fact as shown in his resignation from the senate with two years remaining of his term, i to be commended. i ho who have brought both honor and distinction to the American stair, for hi was the art that con ceals artifice. GERMANY'S NEED FOR GRAIN. Crop thi year in Germany have been bad Thru are ritimated at 21 per cent lea than in 1921. Against the unfavorable growing weather neither skill nor industry ha been able to bring the production of foodstuffs up to the prewar average lly hard work the factory output has been in crraxed, but this has not held down prices Americans can get some realization of the hard lot of the German people through endeavoring to imagine what conditions would be here if the cost of living had risen to 13.1 time the prewar level, as it ha in Germany, Tht pillars of economic life and public order are menaced by this situation. Last October the mark, which used to be the equivalent of 23 cents, fell to 3 000 equal to fl in American money. The nece ity for buying food abroad with thi depreciated currency presents a problem indeed. It is said that 2,000,000 tons of grain will have to be imported into Germany during the next year. The cost of thi i almost double the total circula- tion of paper money. Confidence must be reitored, the German currency must be stabilized and finan cial credit must be forthcoming to see these people through their period of emergency. The allied na tions are said to recognize the importance of ad justing the reparation question, and this In itself will help to build up confidence and dispel pesiim- ism. America i expecUd to be the lource of sup ply for most of the needed grain, and though this business may be on credit, It will come a a relief to the American farmers. CLASSIFYING THE FRESHWATER CLAM. Common enough in the Mississippi valley I a denizen peculiar to it own genu. The mussel I defined by Webster as "a bivalve mollusk," and now the supreme court of the United States ha backed up the dictionary by holding that the mus sel is not a wild animal. Have your grin, and then consider that some thing else is involved besides the obviou fact with relation to the statu of the mussel in the animal kingdom. One time the humble freshwater clam graced the table of the aborigine, and the household mounds in the Mississippi valley contain ample proof that the shellfish in question was plentiful in the water of all the inland rivers and creek. When the white man came the mussel as a table bird fell intodisu.se, save among the imaginative boys, who imitated the red men by broiling the bivalve on a hot stone, or using him to bait "trot lines," where he served admirably, being too tough to wash off in the current, and defying any fish' effort to de tach the bait without taking the hook. Came the McKinley tariff law, and gave the mussel a commercial standing, for out of hi shell is manufactured trainload of pearl buttons that once came from Europe. For further reference, in quire at Mucatlne, la., onco famous for It water melons, now known chiefly for its button mills. Farmers living along nonnavigable streams began to realize the worth of the mussels living therein, and undertook to assert their rights. This led to the suit, for mussel hunters were loath to give up their game. The supreme court holds the bivalve is not a wild animal and that the owner of the land along the stream owns the mussels as far out as the center of the current, and so another im portant dispute is brought to a logical conclusion. . i THE TRAFFIC PROBLEM HAS NOTHING ON OUR SEATING PROBLEM I h A,' T I I ! u THE PEOPLE'S VOICE" Milwlil tttn ntiin t Tk mi a.

A special car filled with delegates to the national convention of the Farmers' Educationaal and Co operative union has left Omaha for Lynchburg, Va. With them they carry the invitation to hold the next annual meeting in Omaha. It is to be hoped that thi offer of hospitality, extended through the convention bureau of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, will be accepted. Omaha is the center of a vast agricultural empire and is cRger to co-operate with the farming in terests in every way. Its live stock and grain mar kets, its packing houses and mills, make it the natural capital of a vast region and a place of in terest to farmers from all parte of the nation. The Farmers' union is a militant organization active in the upbuilding of rural communities. It Is particularly strong in Nebraska, and it would be fitting indeed If in recognition of these facts the next national convention should be brought to Omaha. FRANK BACON: GENIUS. Frank Bacon was one of those peculiar star who flash acrosse the theatrical firmament, and leave no successor. He ran be compared to no man of the present generation. He waa a genius, hut with none of the ordinary eccentricities of genius. Un like John Pillon, John T. Raymond or "Harney" Macaulcy, whom among Americans, he most resem bled, he will not be recalled becau of something he did unconventional or out of the ordinary, but will be remembrred because he was Frank Union. He had the ingulr faculty of making the role he played fit himself, rather than adapting him lf U fit the role. Not that he emiud details, for he gave tls (trillion to the little thing that make ir mar a mctetsful characterisation.

The closing session of the Sixty-seventh con gress will start with a full program; what it will ac complish is quite another question. Some observers are inclined to the opinion that little, if anything, will be done within the next three months. This view rests on tho belief that opponent of the re publican majority will unite in an effort to thwart action on the big appropriation measures, to com pel the president to call the Sixty-eighth congress in extra session. First place on the docket is given to the so called ship subsidy bill, really a measure to foster the American merchant marine, on which the house will probably take a vote early next week. Prospects are good for this bill to pass the house, although in a form much different from that which carries the bonus allowance of $32,000,000 a year to the ship owners. Member have heard from the home folk since last they met and will probably be wary when it comes to voting for subsidies. In the senate the real opposition to this bill will probably show up. A measure very likely to be held up i the long delayed report on the recognition of the executive departments of the government. Senators and rep resentative who served on this commission are re ported to be not particularly well pleased with tho form in which its report ha been prepared by the civilian member, and will insist on having time to study it. More important to the people of this region will be the promised efforts to secure amendment to the Esch-Cummins law, through which relief from the transportation situation is sought. If Senator Cum min undertake to bolster up the labor board pro vision of the law, he will open the way to amend ment which senator from the middle wct pro pose to push in response? to the demand from farmers and other shippers. Considerable constructive legislation may ha suggested, yet it i not o likely to pas, it chance depending on whether congress i ready to give heed to the voice of the people as ounded at the polls. The republican have a splendid opportunity to ntaku good; the democratic tactic of obstruction should not hamper passage of progressive laws.

Denver plans to challenge the at tention of the United Htate next sum mer with a "pageant of progress," which will depict her history and de velopment from the day of the Span' ish conuulstadors. A pretentious scheme, this, to give the city publicity and attract visitors from far and near, but one full of infinite possibilities and capable of being realized. It Is being undertaken by the committee of realtors who havo set a goal of 600,000 population in 1830 for Denver, but it I so broad and comprehensive in scoue, accord ing to the prospectus already an nounced, that it will advertise Colo rado as a whole and not merely this city. In this fact lies th vision of the originators. Denver and Colorado must alwsy lie thought of together, for as tho state prospers, so Denver prospers and vice versa. Denver' very future depends upon the build ing up of the commonwmlth in all its varied features of mining, agricul ture and Industry, and no considera tion of it growth can b entertained without reference to her own relation to hr sister town and cltle of the great background of natural re sources and advantage from which shs (Iran her strength.

In that elder group stands prominently and al most alone of his people as a com poser of piano music in the early nine teenth century Basils Barres, a Lou isana negro who received a musical education In Turls. Burres' work had a considerable vogu in it day and bowed a strong racial character that was much appreciated by the French critics. , . Another negro musician from our section of tho country rep resented ut the Boston Library ex hibition this one not a composer but an executant Is Kdmunde Dedc. a violinist of parts who together with a Cubun "man of color," Brlndi He i3aln, was merely tho best among a number of negroe who advanced past banjo and guitar to the most difficult and artistic of stringed instrument. i'rom other parts of the south came George Melburn, author of "Listen to the Mocking Bird," and James Bland, whose "Carry Me Back to Old Vlr glnny" Is equally classic of the south' negro melodies. Perhaps tho most observed document In the Boston ex hibition Is a facsimile unfortunately America does not possess tho original of a leter written by Beethoven to Ueorgo Augustus Polgreen Bridge tower, a mulatto violinist for whom Beethoven composed the Kruetaer Honata.
