NEW RAILROAD POLICY NEEDED.
Pressed on one hand for higher wages and on
the other for lower freight charges, these r not
easy days fur the railroads. There hat been, fur
thermore, a shortage of car that hai hampered the
movement of freight, the demand for can running
recently about 176,000 weekly above the supply,
Thii in itself i the final evidence of the seriousness
of the transportation situation.
Roiling stork, trackage and many of the termin
al are unequal to the needs of tho country, Her
bert Hoover recently declared. He added that the
losses through inadequate transportation facllitica
are a tax upon the community greater than the coat
f our government. Delay in reaching market etifles
production and make prices a gamble.
This ia a problem that muHt be dealt with fairly,
sensibly and on a national scale. The system of
regulation built up under the direction of the fed
eral government ha not buen a success from any
atandpoint. From the point of view of the people
the utmont it ha done is to put the atamp of legal
ity on many thing that the railroada otherwise
would not have felt free to do. Designed in iti be
ginning to protect the people, federal regulation
hai turned out to be the bulwark of the railroad cor
poration. To a large extent it is possible that the railroads
have been mistaken in the things they sought. Sena
tor Capper indicates (his belief when he says that
it is not that the roads ran not afford to make sub
stantial reductions in rates, but that they can not
afford" not to make such reductions, and speedily.
What he wished to emphasize was that a scule of
tWges that would encourage the shipment of goods
would be of greater benefit to the railroads than
the present high rates, which discourage such dis
tribution. The Each-Cummins law represents the extreme
development of federal regulation, and receives most
of the blame for present unsatisfactory conditions.
Senator Cummins himself has come to recognize
the fact that something is wrong, and is backing
a series of amendments, including guarantee of a
living wage, nn anti-strike provision, compulsory
consolidation of the roads, and reorganization of
the Labor board. All this moves in the wrong di
rection of further regulation, and away from any
idea of restoring competition.
With the backing of the farm bloc Senator Cap
per is pushing other amendments, one repealing the
rate-moking clause of the EscCummins law, and
the other restoring to the states control over local
rates, a power lost during the war. This is more
in accordance with popular opinion, and suggests
a way toward lower freights,
Meanwhile the Interstate Commerce commis
sion will open hearings December 1J on tho applica
tion of the Kansas railway commission, supported
by Nebraska and other states, for reduction in farm
freight rates. The level sought it that prevailing
before the increase of August, 1920. ,
By whatever course it may come, the people of
the middle west, who suffer by their long rail haul
to the coast markets, are demanding a reduction of
railroad rates. If regulation won't bring it, then
competition may. The final resort, which is an
tagonistic to the present public sentiment, is public
ownership. It will be well for us all if the desired
improvements and reductions can be obtained with
out any such desperate remedy.
MERCY, NOT FOR A MONSTER.
Denial by the Idaho Board of Pardon of a plea
for clemency on part of Harry Orchard recalls some
details of one of the most despicable crimes ever
committed. No fouler murder than that of Frank
Steuuenbcrg stains humanity's record. Orchard is
serving a life sentence for the crime for the perpe
tration of which he was convicted after his confes
sion. Time bat not removed the abhorrence of that
deed. Orchard planted dynamite under the front
pate at Steunenbcrg's home, and so arranged the
fuse that the swinging of the gate either way would
explode the charge. His victim approached hie
home after tbe close of a pleasant summer after
noon, and, as his little child toddled down the walk
to welcome his father, swung the gate and was
blown to atoms.
Justice ia in nonse vindictive, jet it can not
emit notice of the enormity of such offense as that
e-f Orchard's. A longer penance than he ha yet
done it required; nor would society be served by
liberating him at this time. Only when the law as
sort Its majesty, and exacts it due will it have
re respect that make it supreme. Orchard in
prison it a far more eloquent argument for this
iipremaej than would b Orchard at large.
ERSKINE CHILDERS. ENTHUSIAST.
Another poet hat paid with hia lift for hit devo
tion to an ideal. Erskine Childera wat one of a lin
gular group, heirs to traditions that have endured
and aspirations that have lured on many to similar
doom or to glorious realisation. He may have beta
right; he may have been wrong, but he certainly did
pot merit the ungenerous epithet of "murderous
renegade," applied to him recently by Winston
Churchill.
Childert was a soldier as well a poet. lie
terved with distinction 'and rose to a pott of com
mand in the British navy during the war. Of hit
valor and sincere devotion in that tervirt there ia
no question. If he espoused the republican cause in
Ireland, it is not kind to think he wat animated by
other than lofty motives. Howevtr mistaken bia
course may appear to-those who differ from hit views,
he at least proved hit sincerity by bit teal in the
course he had adopted. On that point friend and foe
alike must agree on this point. t
That Childert wit English and not Irish by birth
cuts no figure, that he wat a rebel wat of no mora
consequence. Hit idealt were lofty and hit purposes
noble. A free Ireland wat hit dream, the ettablish
ment of free schools, the revival of national institu
tions, the setting of a new gem in the diadem of na
tions. If he felt that lest than'thit wat contained in
the program that wat accepted by the majority of
the Dail Elreann, he wat prompted to rebel in hope
that by continuing tbe struggle the whole of desires
of his group could be attained, and not by a spirit of
sheer contumacy.
Misdirected or otherwise, Erskine Chllders will
have a place in Ireland's Nerropolit honorable be
cause he did not pretend to be tomething he was not.
NEBRASKA'S POLITICAL CENTER.
Politicians all over Nebraska will be Interested
In the newt that the Lindell hotel hat changed hands.
Nothing short of destruction by fire, however, could
shift the center of political gravity from the lobby
of this Lincoln hostelry.
It it there that officert of the state government
are most easily found In their leisure hours. In its
rooms the fata of many a candidate "and the disposi
tion of many a bill hat been settled. It it almost
at if by torn unwritten law, a political agreement
would not be binding unlest made within it old
walls.
This situation it one that exists in most state
capitals. The politicians like best to go in herds.
During a legislative session the lobby of the Lindell
is filled with milling human beings, shouting, laugh
ing, whispering, settling the affairt of state and re
newing old acquaintance at one and the tame time.
The scene is one worth seeing, and a citizen is hardly
qualified to understand the very .human character
of our government until he hat plunged into this
maelstrom of legislators, lobbyists and office seekers.
SIZING UP A MAN.
"Read the answer in the stars!" ran the refrain
to an ancient ditty, while a character in a one-time
popular musical comedy tang, "Look in the book
and seel" Both had in mind the idea that Prof.
Kingsbury of the Chicago university is now seeking
to implant. He says:
"Actions are the only way ty which character
tun be determined. Science Is unable as yet to
KlvS an Index to mental disposition by outward
features, such as the contour of tbe face. There In
no question but that some people are better than
others at 'sizing a man up,' but when an attempt
is made to organize results of experiences In rearl
lii character, It is found that no general rules ob
tain." And there goes a whole wilderness of rules built
up by sharks and experts, who have been giving
character readings, delineating the contents of a
man's mind, telling his habits, his ambitions and
his capacities by the length of his nose, the height
of his check bones or the way he parts his hair.
Nothing to it, says the professor. Likewise, he says
the color of the hair or the eyes, handwriting, or
anything of the sort, gives, no clue as to what is
going on in the brain. '
The human brain still is as unfathomablo as the
human soul. Its ways are mysteries; under the
mask of outward demeanor the processes go on and
on, and nobody save the one individual can ever tell
what has passed or is passing in that individual's mind
"I can smile, and smile, and murder while I'm smil
ing," hissed Richard, as he ended the life of help
less Henry, and Moore sang:
"fio U'e cheek may be tinged with a warm, sunny
smile.
While tho cold heart to ruin turns darkly the while."
Men's actions are ponderable, for they are dis
closed, but men's thoughts are ever concealed. Siz
ing up a man is still guess work, and judgments
based on results will always be more satisfactory
than any amount of expectation built on appear
ancej.
Those who years ago read with interest Henry
Demarest Lloyd's books, "Wealth Against Common
wealth" and "Newest England." will understand the
point of view of his son, who ha Just gone to prison
for five years on account of hia radical tendencies.
One of the biggest events in Omaha in the com
ing year will be the national convention of the. Farm
ers' union. This, incidentally, will be the best piece
of national advertising the agricultural opportunities
of Nebraska ever had.

Our Own Secret Fascial I.
from tlio Nation.
Alas for trus Americanism.' The klan
is meeting with opposition,' That wan
to be expected In Alllwaukee. There
tho socialist mayor has notified tha
organizer from Georgia that Milwau
kee will "become the hottest place
this side of hell for the Ku Klux Klan
if uny of the klnn pounce upon one
of our citizens, whether he be black
or white, red or yellow, Jew or tien
tlle, Catholic or Protestant." Mil
waukee boa si a thnt for law snd order
it stands, under its sis:liilist govern
ment, first among all the cities of the
world, anil its mayor warns the klan
that Its attempt to "transfer govern
ment from Us proper officers to the
klan," "will land your ottlcers and
thousands of your members In the
penetliiry" if persisted in.
In Kansas, (Jovcmor Allen, the au-'
tocratlc, has tuken the arrival of
the klnn bs nn excuse for a further
exhibition of his failure to under
stand the fundamentals of American
life by announcing that tho klan will
he run out of the state. This guber
nutorial suppressor of free speech has
directed his attorney general to re
sort to the injunction to drive tho
klan away an un-American method
of getting rid-of an un Aineiican me
nace. In Maine the governor de
nounces the establishment -of the
klan as "on Insult and affront to
American citizens;" in Chicago the
head of a. national bank litis been
compelled to resign because he ad
mltted membership In Hie klnn, In
Atlanta, the noting head of the klnn
has been Indicted for using tho mails
to defraud. There are even new
klnas being formed to purify the old.
Thus, in Arknnr.as huve been duly
