The total of money to be set aside for carrying on the government's activities is still for midable, but it is well within the estimated revenues Aif the government; in fact, it indicates the com fortable surplus for the fiscal year 1924 of almost $200,000,000. Beyond this, the president reports i hat experience so far in the fiscal year 1923 war iants the belief that the estimated deficit of $273, 938,712 will be wiped out, and a small surplus re main at the end of the year. These results have been achieved not only by the practice of the most rigid economy, but also latgely through better ways of doing business. Most of the departments are reporting reduced costs of operating, because of the adoption of more efficient methods of carrying on their work. Improvement in this direction will be maintained, the president is confident, and greater savings will be made with increased results. The administration is justifying its promise of better management of public affairs. Mr. Harding directs attention to the fact that two-thirds of the total amount included in the budget goes to defray expenses that are fi*ed and definite, such as thp pension fund, the support of the veterans’ bureau, interest on the public debt, and for the routine work of the several departments. These items can not be reduced, and therefore any i eal saving that is made must come out of the other one-third, which is now largely made up of appro priations tor carrying on so-called federal aid projects. He expresses some misgivings as to the advis ability of extending such projects, calling attention to the fact that communities or states that are tak ing advantage of them are required to increase local taxation in order to meet the requirements of the federal law. Tf the policy is to be continued, and so far it has been in response to popular demand, thp people should understand what is involved. Car rying on the federal aid projects already in vogue, or extension of the same, will stand in the way of further general tax reduction. The progress of the budget system in connec tion with national administration is such as to re deem the claims made for it by its advocates., The public is reaping* the benefits of the improvements made by republicans over the ways the democrats persisted in clinging to. PLAYING POKER AT LAUSANNE. If Robert Schenck, who gained the sobriquet of to Poker Bob,” were yet alive, he would undoubtedly be recognized as the highes* authority on what is going on at Lausanne. Europe is engaged in what looks like the most stupendous game of bluff ever played. Stakes are high; control of the Dardanelles, al ready a prize in three great wars, is the biggest sin gle piece in the pot, but several other worth while objects are to either fall to the lot of a winner or be divided when the game breaks up. Tchitcherin’s magnificent attitude is one that would attract ad miration, of there were anything back of it. As neither soviet Russia nor democratized Turkey has a navy of any sort, the gesture of the gentleman from Moscow makes less impression than it might. Yet less than simple justice will be done if the aspirations of Turkey are not awarded something in the way of concession. Ismet argues with vehemence and much force of right against con tinuation of the special privileges wrung from Turkey in the past under the guise of capitulations. Extra territorial rights claimed by European pow ers in Turkey do not correspond with present day ideas, and, just as China was relieved by the Wash ington conference from a similar situation, so Tur key may well be given control of certain of her own affairs that are now subject to foreign interference. Freedom of the straits will be insisted upon, for it is a waterway all the world should be permitted to use, and can be made free with little or no dan ger to Turkey. Talk of a world war over the sit uation is correspondents’ chat for the great nations of the world, who could wage war, do not seek war, but rather peace. Turkey is less concerned in the outcome of the conference than Russia, for the soviets expect to profit principally by any settle ment made with the Turk. Tchitcherin is fooling no one, and the original game of poker was called "brag.” CAR SHORTAGE AND RELIEF BY WATER. The need for inland waterways is brought to at tention each year by the recurring shortage of freight cars to haul western grain to market. Con gestion of wheat in Buffalo and other terminals along the Great Lakes emphasizes the advantages of the St. Lawrence waterway project by which ocean vessels would load at such interior ports as Duluth, Milwaukee and Chicago, thus freeing im mense numbers of railroad cars for use in the gTain growing regions of the middle west. There are other waterways capable of develop ment, as highways for freight, such as the Missis sippi and Missouri rivers. Illinois is about to begin work on a fourteen-foo't channel that will give Chicago the benefit of cheap water freight by barge from Lake Michigan to the Gulf of Mexico. The factory products of Illinois and the grain and ore of the northwest thus will secure an outlet at New Orleans for the markets of the world. Return car goes of coal and southern products will enjoy the same low freight charges. This work of opening a canal on the Illinois river is exp'ected to be completed within three years. The people of the state voted $19,000,000 in bonds to install the locks and dams and build a hydro electric plant which will be a source of cheap power. The opening of this route, supplementing rail transportation and cheapening the cost of freight movement, will be a great thing for Chi cago, just as would the opening of the Missouri river for Omaha. The wild west novelists will almost Ijave to close up shop if New Mexico clings to its present de termination to forbid the sale of firearms BETWEEN FARM AND TABLE. Like a lightning flash that illumines for a mo ment the whole landscape in the dead of night, the campaign to save the Nebraska potato crop brings clearly into view the entire question of agricultural marketing. Western farmers receive about 20 cents a bushel for potatoes that go into the consumer’s kitchen at from 60 cents to 80 cents a bushel. Four sets of dealers and the railroad ’company intervene between farm and table, each performing a useful service, though a costly one. This spread between what fhe farmer receives and what the consumer pays is at the basis of much of the present unrest. The machinery of distribu tion is like an engine lacking oil; a great deal of power is lost through friction. High distribution costs, caused in part by the multiplication of agen cies, undoubtedly has a part in the high cost of liv ing. These intermediaries, however, have arisen to perform services that the farmer has failed to per form for himself. If the farmer is unable or unwilling to finance his business, he quite naturally must hire and pay others to do it for him. If some one else must store the harvest until the market demand arises, this service also must be paid for. The inability of growers to deal directly with consumers has neces sitated establishment of a system of brokers, com mission men and selling agencies to supply the miss ing connection. Most of these are in a position to collect their pay whether the farmer gets something or nothing. A number of farm organizations are endeavor ing to close up this gap. The profitless nature of much farm work in the last few years has stimula ted the effort to find a simpler, cheaper method of distribution. By grouping themselves together in co-operative associations farmers are laying the ground work for reducing their cost of marketing. The fruit and nut growers of the Pacific coast, having to sell perishable products at a great distance from their homes, were the first to be forced into common ac tion, and today their co-operative associations are the strongest in America. From their experience the United States Department of Agriculture ad vises farmers that organizations handling a single commodity, or similar cormpodities instead of mixed products, have the best chance of success. The work of these marketing associtions includes eestablish ment of grades and standards, adoption of brands, securing capital, extending markets and adjusting production to meet market demand. The use of by products is another function that can be handled by the farmers as well as by any outsider. Establish ment of storage facilities is another. The Department of Agriculture has lent much assistance to the successful management of this branch of farm business. The present congress enacted a law which legalized the voluntary organ ization of agricultural producers for the purpose of handling and selling their products.’ Proposed rural credit legislation would contribute also to the solution of some of the nation s distribution prob lems. If there ip waste and inefficiency in any fea ture of the preient system, it is to the public ad vantage to eliminate it. The spread between pro ducer and consumer must be reduced. THE INJUSTICE OF JUSTICE. Suppose Madlynne Obenchain and Arthur C. Burch are innocent of any connection with the mur der of that young Loa Angeles broker? It is not too much to assume that they are guiltless, in view the dismissal of the indictments against them and the failure of five juries to agree on their guilt or innocence. After having had them under arrest for a year and a half the district attorney now drops the prosecution on the ground of insufficient evidence. Each day of their lives since suspicion first arose has been misery. Freed now, though without an acquittal, the woman is under a cloud for life. The man is to be examined for sanity, having invited such proceed ings by setting up insanity as a defense in his three trials. Meanwhile the father of the slain man de nounces the dropping of the case and demands re venge for his loss. Who killed J. Belton Kennedy on the steps of his home in the woods? Until some one is brought to justice fer this crime, none of the persons con cerned in this mystery will be entirely at ease, al though they already have suffered much. The legal maxim that a person is considered innocent until guilt is proved is no part of popular psychology. Whatever the sins of this beautiful woman, aside from the charge of murder which has been dropped, she is destined to pay many times. Sixty-five Nebraska counties elected women to the office of superintendent of schools. There is no more important office in the nation than that which touches the training of the new generation. The power for good of a woman in congress is hardly as great as that of n woman in the class room. That was a sensible and courteous move of Gov ernor McKelvie to invite Mr. ftryan as his successor to meet with the eapitol commission. The attempts of partisan trouble makers to stir up a dispute over this great project should meet with reproof from public opinion. Henry Ford runs a grocery and meat market, a clothing store and a shoe shop as well as a motor factory. With his railroad, steel mill, coal mines and magazine, this gives him a finger in many pies. Perhaps Jiggs would have made a better candi date than Gump. Too High a Price for France's Friendship ---From the New Republic. Clemenceau deserves his welcome and the applause, I but he should not and doubtless he will not let it de | ceive him. In pleading with the American people to perpetuate the political equivalent of the military vie ! tory which the allies won in the fall of 1918. he is ask | ing them to pay an impossible pftce for the friendship I of France. He wishes them to renounce an immunity i and a boon which is the natural result of their geographical situation, which they themselves have fought wars to establish and preserve and which is properly associated in their minds with their national i independence and self-respect. By doing what lie asks, they would give up the advantage which brought their , forefathers to this continent. They would involve | themselves in the quarrels and animosities which are ' the inevitable result of the nationalist separatism and the power alliances of the European international tra dition. They would imperil the freedom to subordinate foreign to domestic politics which Is so essential to democratic government, which they gained when they federalized their own commonwealth, which they re enforced when they fought Great Britain and almost fought France for trying during the Napoleonic wars to use the young American nation as the accomplice of European strife and which they confirmed when they resisted the attempt of the south to establish on American soil a separate nation whose security would demand the support of a European military ally. It is too much to ask and there is no chance lor an affirma tive answen “From State and Nation” —Editorialt from other newspapers— No Holy Wir. Prom til* New York Evtidn* Po*t Today 227,000,000 Mohammedans i are scattered throughout the world. | Half of them are under British rule. ! and at least 30,000.000 are subjects of i France. For the last 400 years the I i-piritual leadership of these Moslems j has been in the hands of the sultan | at Constantinople, lie lias not only been the political ruler of Turkey, but as the caliph or "successor" of Mohammed, he has claimed the devo tion of Islam as a whole. The trepidation with which the allies have approached the Turkish problem can partly be explained by fear of the caliph's power. If the sultan were removed front Constanti nople would he not summon his fol lowers in British India and Egypt or French Syria to a holy war.' But as a matter of fact, Islam is far from unified and the caliphate at Constan tinople is far from recognized by the followers of the Koran. The Shiah sect, which includes all the Moham medans In Persia and thousands in India, maintains that the caliphate is “nonexistent, unlawful and un necessary." Many Mohammedans do not recognize the sultan at Constan tinople, because he is not a descendant of Mohammed. Others follow the sul tan of Morocco, as the descendant of the famous Omnmyad caliphate. In order to be recognized as caliph a ruler has hitherto had to be in pos session of the holy places—the cities of Mecca and Medina. Islam has usually demanded also that its caliph exercise temporal power. But today neither of these conditions exists. The holy places are in the hands of an independent Arab state which may prohibit Mohammedan Turks from making the pilgrimage to these sanc tuaries which the Koran prescribes. The Angora assembly has abolished the sultanate and assumed the elec tion of the caliph in its own hands. Hereafter the caliph will have no temporal power, and he w-ill be sub ject to the whims of a political as sembly, No wonder that the Moslems of Egypt, of India, of Arabia and of Afghanistan are protesting at this sacrilege. Angora's action has made a holy war more improbable than ever. Thp Overhead Railway. From the Toronto Matt and Kmplre. It is said that a Canadian seaplane has carried thousands of cases of liquor into the United States, which may make it necessary to establish a vertical three-mile limit. Bloody-Minded Hellas. From th# Philadelphia Public Ledcer. Because the Turks smashed a Greek army and made ashes of an ancient Greek hope, the Greeks have court-martialed and shot five excabi net officers and the former chief of the broken army. It was the primi tive Impulse of a whipped and disap pointed people. Failing to win, smarting from their wounds, they de manded a sacrifice and the politicians did I he rest. Had the Greek method been fol lowed, Sir John French would have been shot when he failed to stop the German rush through Belgium. The Belgians would have hanged King Al bert when Liege fell. The French would have slain Joffre when Namur was taken and Maubege was lost. Since when has defeat in the field meant death for a cabinet and degra dation and a traitors death for a losing commander? The Greeks have given treason a new meaning. If yon win, you are a deserving patriot. If you lose, you are a traitor. There fore, ex-Premier Gounaris and five others died. There is too much of the color of ’ political assassination about this Greek court-martial. In the epd the Greeks will find It hns cost them dearly. Great Britain, their beat friend in Europe, has stood by them until now. Its minister hns been withdrawn and relations with Greece broken. There arc things that, can- , not be condoned, and political assassi nation Is one of them. The United States has no minister at Athens, nor are we likely to have one soon. It is not the American habit to take the "bloody hand." Huerta of Mexico found it so and Serbia also when a king and queen were assassinated. The one Ameri can subofflcial in Athens Is helping to save and feed starving Greek refu gees or he might well be withdrawn from a capital that shelters such po litical savagery. At the near east peace conference at Lausanne, where the future of Greece is being decided, there are dis may and resentment. There will he a feeling that Greece has proved It self a dangerous, desperate, mood shaken and seml-barbaric state. More heed will be given to Turk claims of Greek atrocities in Asia Minor. Ath ens has played straight into the hnnds of Angora. The Greeks have alienated western sympathy at a‘ time when they never needed it more. The effects of that alienation cannot be calculated. For eign loans to the Greeks may end. Athens has taken a very long step toward social chaos and International ostracism. And. asks the Turks while the vol ley of the Athena firing squad still echoes. "Who do you now think started the fire that destroyed Smyrna?” The pot is pointing ac cusingly at the kettle. Cost of Being a Gentleman. From the Tarpon Srphifa (Fla.l Leader. One reason why the Leader is often a little bit late in coming out is that we frequently have a number of fair visitors who come In to leave a news item or an ad or something of the kind, and at such times we always, like a true southern gentleman, take our pipe out of our mouth and lay It down somewhere and after they are gone it always takes about 15 minutes to find it again. Tlie Giving Religion. From the Kanrao CUy Kanran Christianity is peculiarly a giving religion. The Hindus have their men dicants. the Mohammedans have oc casionally an example of almost unbe lievable generosity. But the Biblical teaching is one of giving as a moans of grace and growth. A day set apart for thanksgiving is unique. But who ran say it is in appropriate? Considering the good things we have received front the past and that the closing year has be stowed, remembering the comforts of family life, and the peace of friend ship, why should we not make that supreme gift to God—the gift of thanks?

Were we to lay before Him the especial treasures of our hearts and our accomplish ments, they would appear small in deed. There is only one thing that measures up 10 the requirement of a gift to God—that is. the giving of thanks, the bestowal of gratitude. Of all the good that pat lire has, be atowed upon the world, giving, giv ing without a moment's cessation., the Maker of it all gets for Himself only one thing—the joy of the life He has made, the spirit that would give thanks and do good. What a sublime thought the psalmist uttered when he said:” "Oh give thanks unto ihe Lord, For ho is good, For his mercy sndurcth forever." His mercy! His goodness! They are our salvation. One day In the year, at least, we can afford to give Him our best possession—our grati tude, ourselves. A Book oj Today "14t2.” by Mary Johnston. Little, Brown & Co., Boston. A new book by Miss Johnston usu ally attracts more than casual atten tion from those who keep in touch with the making of books. This book whoso brief title has such eloquent significance for Americans, will Anil a place in the hearts of readers of fine literature. In this latest effort the author has given us another demonstration of her vigorous style, a style which may in truth be said to be of a high order. Miss Johnston has used a theme which is prolific In its possibilities, and she has made much use of her opportunities. It is a book of historical value, of consid erable dramatic interest and alto gether it is a story of compelling ap peal. The story, as may he Inferred from the title, has to do with the moment ous happenings in Spain when the illustrious Genoese sailor set forth in the Santa Maria, the Pinta and the Nina on a voyage, as he supposed, to India. Cathay and C'ipango. Miss Johnston raises the curtain on a scone wherein the Spaniards and the Moors are in conflict before Granada, that picturesque city of walls, with its thousand towers and noble fates. King Roabdil surrenders, leaves the Alhambra, and Spain towers, "a fig ure dressed in gold and red.” A mot ley group gathers In Santa Fe. a city built in a day before the embattled walls of Granada. Swarmed there the Christian and the Jew, and the few must leave. King Henry VII sits upon h*s throne in England and King Ferdinand and Queen Isabel rule in Spain. We read of bold knights in armor, of gorgeous steeds and proud riders, of grandees, caval iers, arches, pikers, friars and pre lates. Spain and Portugal are at peace, but Portugal is pressing forth with her policy of imperialism. Chris topher Columbus wants to be "ad-s miral of the ocean-sea!” He is oth-' erwise referred to in the story as "Christopherus Columbus,” "Cristo foro Colombo” and "Don Chistoval Colon.” Columbus had been upon the seas for IS years and it had been seven years since first he laid his plans before the king and the qupen of Spain. "Seven years, madam, your high ness!” he says. "lake an Infant laid at your feet. And winter has blown upon It. and sunshine carrying hope has walked around it, and then again the cold wind rises—" “Your own terms or none?” asked the king. "Mine or none, your highness,” Co lumbus replied. “You are dismissed, Master Christo pherus.” The central figure of tjte story Is Jayme do Marchena. of Jewish an cestry and suspected by the holy of fice with being a heretic. A royal edict was issued against the Jews, which prompts Jayme to pose as Juan Hope, a humble-seaman who goes with Columbus' caravel. On the road to Palos. Juan meets up with three men who tell thlm that they are going to sea with an "Italian sorcerer.” Juan wins the good graces of Columbus. There are many characters in the story and their various points of con tact are admirably worked out by the authors. Jn JEST and VERSE Byplays and Comment* on Events That Are Passing. Deo Gratia s.

Mr. "Real Man," I would like to meet you face to face, for it la so seldom one sees a "real man” nowadays, that It's a real treat to meet one, and as to wo men drivers, they have the men wiped off the earth when It comes to precaution. Most men think they sro such good drivers that they can't have an accident and they will take chances that a woman wouldn't think of taking. I have ridden behind both men and women, and women are for the most careful drivers. I have driven a car for several years and I have never had an accident yet. Some time ago I read an article by a traffic officer on one of tho most congested corners In New York City, and he said that in his experience as a traffic officer that women far excel men as careful drivers, Mr. Dudley wrote an article some time ago in one of our daily papers praising a number of Omaha women as good and careful drivers of automobile* I'll tell you, "Mr. Real Man,” what causes so many accidents—is it too much home brew drank by some of our "real men” like yourself. Nearly every accident one reads, on account of the driver, a "real man,” had been drinking. You are just one of those men who hate to admit that a woman is your equal. Of course.
