From the standpoint of depositors the state bank guaranty law has worked well up to this point. The loss.C of failed banks have been paid through a tund collected from other banks of the system, heavy though the drain has been. It is important tor the future that this record should be main tained. On that both the bankers and their de positors are agreed. Those closest in touch with the situation realize that some changes are necessary in the guaranty law in order to strengthen it. Dan J. Rilcv of Daw ion, president of the Nebraska State Bankers’ as sociation, has made this plain in an interview at Lincoln. One of the most important questions be fore the legislature concerns the revision of the guaranty lawr. It is full time for the sessionVto cease frittering away its efforts on bills of minor importance and take up such constructive legisla tion as this. Since the establishment of the guaranty of de posits there have been fifty-three bank failures in Nebraska, entailing total drafts of nearly $8,000, 000 on the members. It is to the credit of the system that these losses have been paid, and yet it would have been much more worthy of praise if they had been prevented at their inception. It is to this end, of closer supervision, better banking methods, and the .avoidance of all preventable losses that the attention of the lawmakers must be di rected. Much better would it be to anticipate and prevent these failures than to wait until they have actually come, bringing with them a heavy loss, ex pensive receiverships and the disarrangement of financial affairs in the communities affected. “Under the present law," said Mr. Biley, “all state banks are made partners to the extent of in suring deposits. As such they are made financially liable for all losses due to incompetency or dishon esty. Since the going banks have to pay the bills they should have some voice in determining the manner in which the business of their partner banks is conducted." The state bankers have proposed a measure which it is claimed will stop further closing of banks, with a tremendous saving to the guaranty system. With this aim the whole state is in accord. The duty of the legislature is to decide by what means the guaranty system thus can be strengthened, and to take firm action, not for the benefit of any class, but for the welfare of the entire public. ITS COSTLY TO RETURN GOODS There is an old saying to the effect that the privilege of one age becomes the right of another and the abuse of the next. Such is the course that has been followed in the practice of returning goods purchased from stores. In its early form this privilege was an accommodation used only in case of emergency. It was resorted to so infre quently as not to result in any great expense to the merchants. Steadily the idea of service to customers grew, and with it the privilege of returning goods came to be considered as a right which no well established shop could refuse. Articles of all sorts w-ere sent out, kept for days or even weeks, and then re turned. From this it was an easy stage to wide spread abuse. It became possible to order a dress, have it al tered to fit and, after trying it on at home or even wearing it to some event, then to return it. Cases have been discovered where a customer would buv a traveling bag, take a trip and then bring the big back to the store and receive a refund. Even where there is no intentional deception, there is still a good deal of waste in the system. Such practices are costly, and it is easy to un derstand how a saving to both the merchants and their patrons could be made by limiting this pecu liar and unwarranted service. There is no func tion a store performs for its customers that must not be paid for in one way or another. If addi tional or extraordinary accommodations are ex tended, thia must be reflected in the prices charged for goods. It is apparent that if every one took ad vantage of the return privilege the cost of goods and service would be immensely increased and trade ruined. The fact that it is only a fraction of the buyers who resort to this method makes it un fair on the other customers who have to foot a part of the expense. In many cities the shops are attempting to get away from the excessive toll of the return system. Let the full truth about this evil be explained to the women of Omaha, who compose the larger part of the clientele of the stores, and it is sure they would acquiesce in a modification of the return system. “BACTERIUM PNEUMOSINTEES” That is a big name for an animal so small that he has to be magnified 1,000 times before he can be even dimly seen. Scientists have been looking long end earnestly for him, but, as he can escape through the pores of an earthenware filter, he is elusive to the degree that only now is he brought to bay. Yes, it is the germ of the “flu,” lately isolated by doc tors at the Rockefeller research laboratory. Dr. Simon Klexner gives some interesting detail* as to 'ts characteristics. Johnnie's definitiou. of salt, as being "that stuff that makes your potatoes taste bad when you don t put it on,” applies in some way to this new germ. Sick people needn’t worry about it, for it is a high toned bug, and declines to cooperute with others. However, when it takes hold of a healthy person, seizing its victim by the nose and throat, it not only sets up a lively disturbance on its own account, but so weaken* the *ystem that the germ of pneumonia finds easy access and a ready welcome. Hence its name, which means “the germ that injures the lung tissue in such a' way as to deprive it. of the power ordinarily possessed hy it of resitting the attacks ot the common bacteria of the nose and throat.” When attacked by Bacterium Pneumosintees, one of two course* i* open. Either shout its name aloud and so expel the germ and all Its wicked ^ train,from the pom an4 throat, or send for a doctor. ■ k ■* FRENCH IRON AND GERMAN COAL. Human nature being such a variable factor, i*. can not be predicted what the eventual outcome ol French aggression in Germany will be.- There is no comfort for humanity in the thought that within the next twenty years the German people will rise in new found might and revenge themselves on the people of France. What is rather to be hoped is that the French public will come to* realize the folly of its statesmen and their policy of industrial and po litical imperialism. The cost of the occupation of the Ruhr is seen now to exceed its financial gains. France is actually receiving less coal today than it was receiving from voluntary reparations, even though they fell short of the terms of agreement. The policy of passive resistance adopted by the people of the occupied region has for the time ,at least baffled the invad ers. A report, which has not been verified, tells of a strike in the mines of the Saar valley, a move that would severely handicap French industry. What the world now sees is an endurance con test between the people of two nations. Hunger may reconcile the German workmen to their foreign masters for a time, but there is no hope of stable conditions to be based on this or any other variety of force. Instead peace depends on honest motives and better understanding. When the French taxpayers discover the costli ness of this adventure, the politicians back of it may be routed and some real move made for Euro pean peace. Already the conviction is growing that whatever advantage is sought in the Ruhr is for the benefit of the French industrial magnates rather than the people. Briefly, the immense iron foun dries and steel mills of France need freer access to coal supplies. If they can secure control of the coal beds held by Stinnes and other German mag nates, they will have an industrial unit large enough and complete enough to rival that of England. There are some observers who claim that the unwillingness of Great Britain to endorse the French policy is based as much on business grounds as on moral or political principles. With France possessed of iron and Germany possessed of coal, international tariffs and restric tions would prevent the close linking up of these related industries. For a long time the French mil lionaires have been striving to purchase a con trolling interest in the Ruhr mines, but even that would not be as much to their advantage as control under the French flag. It is a mighty game that is being played along the Rhine. The stakes are not entirely what has been made to appear to the people of France or to the people of Germany. The industrial struggle is only a part of the program for the upbuilding of France and the destruction of Germany, but its im portance is not to be overlooked. STATE LIBRARY FUNDS The Omaha Woman’s club voices an objection to the legislature cutting off the appropriation for the State Library commission. In this the women take a stand that will probably have popular ap proval. No work of the state along educational lines, after the schools themselves, is of greater mo ment than that of the Library commission. It main tains a service that is not well known in the cities, where local needs are met and satisfied by great col lections of book; properly controlled and admin istered, but in the sparsely settled regions, where the traveling library comes as a God send to read ers who are otherwise cut off from a supply of lit erature, to omit this service would be considerable of a deprivation if not an actual calamity. The State Library commission, for the current biennium, is maintained at a cost of $26,360, ap portioned as follows: Salaries and wages, $11,000; buildings, $10,000; operating expenses, which in cludes purchase of books and similar items, $'>,300. This is at the rate of $13,180 a year, which is not an unreasonable sum when compared to the service. Governor Bryan, in his budget message, proposes that this work be transferred to the University Ex tension bureau. No objection can be made to this proposal, if assurance be given that the work will not suffer. The transfer ought not to be made on a purely experimental basis. In the McKelvie budget, submitted to the legis lature, a request was made for an additional $1,000 a year, to provide for further extension of the library service. This sum may he omitted without detriment to the work, although the requests for the extension are numerous and can not be met without additional funds. We can not believe that Governor Rryan desires >n limit the circulation of books nrnong the people, but only that he desires to re arrange the work, to the end that the same service can be had for less money. If this can be done, and only the elimination of unnecessary employes will follow, the plan of the governor may he a good one ! to follow, but the legislature should he thoughtful of the need for the service that is now afforded by the Library commission.

I’emarkable changes that will take place within the next 100 yearn and i surprise the greatest scientist of the day if he were to return at that time and npte the improvements. Already thinking men and women have been approached upon this im portant sub.iect, and varied are their comments and predictions as to what problems will he in 2022. For instance, Henry L. Mencken, author and critic, thinks that the United States-will be a British colony within the next 100 years, fie says its chief functions will be to supply Imbeciles to read the current English novels and docile cannon fodder for the British army. He further believes [that prohibition will he overthrown j and restored several times, and that I there will be periods of prohibition | and wholesale drunkenness, as now, and periods of license and moderation. | ."Tile American,'' said Mr. Mencken, | "who w-ill be most agreeably discussed ! by Anglo-American historians will be | Woodrow Wilson, the first premier of the uniting American colonies.” That the people will do their read ■ ing entirely on the screen 100 years hence is what David Griffith thinks, lie says that the great publishing in dustry will be the publishing of mo tion pictures instead of printing. Mo tion picture libraries will be as great as public libraries are today. Thea ters will have the same relation to I these libraries as the spoken theater today has to the printed copies of dramatic works. Taking pictures will have been perfected and perhaps will have been forgotten again, for the world w-ill have become picture train ed. so that words are not so Impor tant as they are todav. I hen comes Margaret Songster, leading birth control advocate, who says birth control will become a part of education, health and hygiene. Wo men especially will be keen In de manding It, as they will realize it Is a foundation of freedom and Intel leetual development. She said there will be far more consideration for the mother and more understanding of her needs, with a result of better health and development for the in fant, as well as greater comfort for tiie mother. And she also says that four or five generations will develop new men with tine susceptibilities, no bler sentiments toward each other and a worthier sense of responsibility toward the race. In the opinion of Rev. John Haynes Holmes, pastor of the New York com munity church that 100 years from now many of our present chyrcbes both Catholici and Protestant, will still be in existence. The momentum of religious tradition, vast accumula tlon of property, and social habit will tend to keep many of them alive. However, they will stand as survivals of an age that is gone—monuments to the past like the great medieval cathedrals which stand tday In Euro pean countries. He further believes that the true religious life of this cen tury hence will be found In other churches nf very different type. These churches will be strictly pub lie oc community Institutions, having no denominational differences of any k’lnd. but representing a uniting of all people in the pursuit of moral and spiritual ideals. He says that to a greater extent these community re ligious societies will represent a re-, union of church and state of thor oughgoing democracy; and that they will stand like the public schools, art galleries, libraries and com munity centers as institutions be longing to all the public and giving ex presslons to the needs and aspirations of the people.

The flame that keeps little children warm Is the same that other tirprs | and In other places is ruthless to maim or to kill them. What a stimulus to the imagina tion is a flame! The pyromanlac, who must set fire as the kleptomaniac must steal, shows the love of Are, the re ligion of the fire worshiper, proceed ing to an Insane extreme. The mere moderate desire to watch a burning is Innocent enough, and the pleasure in the spectacle Is easy to understand. The word "bonfire." whose derivation points to a curiously varied range of i speculation, seems to be in its oldest ■lense a ' boon'' fire, a fire that bore in Its own skyward aspiration the token that men received it ns a bless ! ing from on high. When the Scotch j said It was a "bane” fire, they did not j mean that it was a curse—It was a lire of bones—that is, of sticks like j bones. The flame as It mounts is taking the solid substance and transmuting : It to that which is Invisible. It Is the bond between what we see and what we cannot see. It seems to link the physical world with the ethereal realm. In that fact lies tlie peculiar fascination of a Are. It Is a kind of soul In matter, taking form before our eyes, only to pass out again—seem ingly. not really—Into a void. Human life is like that flame. Out of the dark we come, nnd Into the dark—apparently—we quickly pass again. Out of the cold for a little while we make a warmth for some one, and create a light that shines to see by. and then we are extin guished. Is that all? N'o, for a light once seen Is forevermore a star, wherever it may be: and a flame once kindled ceases not to burn. These Are the Days. From tbs Kansas City K'sssji. Everybody is looking forward to a "good time coming " Individnaly and for the world in general. .You are doing It yourself. The Leavenworth Post, in thinking back, utters this great truth: "Twenty years ago today we were all looking forward to today." It is a fact. This is the time that the world was expecting things to get lietter. The problems which were bothering people twenty years ago we expected to see settled by this time. our Individual troubles of twenty years ago we thought would be over by now and we would be on ; Easy street. These, then, are the days of hope, i Why not make them the days of real 4 ization as well? In the past we never ’ seem to have caught up with our bet ter selves, our hopes, our faiths. As Pope puts it: "Man never is. but always to be. blessed." More and more the present is com ing to live in the present. The prob lems of today com* chiefly because the people are !>eglnning to demand things for themselves now, to sav that this is the time to solve the prob lems of today. Take the farmers for example. Twenty years ago they | were content with returns for their ! labor that amounted merely to the equivalent of meager wages; now they say they want that much and inter est on their investment, as well as pay for upkeep of the farm beside. Twenty years ago the worker thought wages that would enable him to keep even and have the necessities of life was sufficient. The new prob lems come because he demands luxur ies now. with assurance of mainten ance when he grows old Ix-side. The crime wave is due to Immature thinking along the line of the right to enjoy now rather than twenty years hence. Heretofore it was con sidered enough if one out of a hun dred arrived; but this is no longer considered success The fact that it is not so received brings problems to be sure: yet the very demand for good things for all is the heginning of the solution of the problems. Probably, after a lapse of twenty tears more, the hopes of today will he far nearer realization than the hop, s of twenty years ago are r.ow Hope for "High Henryk."

L,. JACOB. Is Courtesy Head? Omaha—To the Editor of The Oma ha lice: It perhaps hAs been observed that a seeming laxity exists in the manners of the younger generation, as i an be seen from the following ex ample: One day an elderly iady tried to cross a street in the down-town busi ness district. The traffic of this par ticular street was quite heavy at that time. The lady, it appeared, was not used to crossing streets under yuch eonditiorfs, and she tried again and again to get across, hut at the sight of an automobile or a vehicle, re treated back to the sidewalk, in fact, she got only a few feet from the walk. There came along a couple, the young lady, called that, merely for the sake of courtesy, dressed after the mode of the so-called flappers, and the young man, his straw hat pushed down over his eyes. Tiimself a typical "Jazz" model, and as they approached clos-er to the old lady, and recognised her predicament, they talked in somewhat whispered tones and laughed, not aloud, but just to themselves. When they crossed the street they turned around to see if the lady was still there, and she was. Then the young man laughed again, this time louder, said some thing to his companion, and walked away. That incident furnished the couple food for an animated talk as they walked down the street and was taken as a good joke. Perhaps It did seem out of place to gee someone trying to cross the-street, and not I being able to do so. but certainly It was no joke under tho circumstances. To the couple, helping this lady across would l>e unconventional or r cfhaps, disgraceful, considering her somewhat shabby appearance. A little girl came along, a roll of music under her arm. She appeared to be not more than 10 or 11 years of age As she neared the corner where the lady was standing, she no ticed her Plight, and without ht-s.rw lion, approached her and escorted the old lady across the street. The lady was lame, being unable to walk even at a most moderate gait, and it rook some time to cross the street, but they crossed safely The two talked fer some time and finally a street car came along, and the little girl helped the old lady on the street car, but, as Is often the case, there were many willing hands on the car to I help the lady cm. One of them was the conductor. Tills incident Is typical. It seems a pity that the young people of this generation, especially those that really know better, forget the courte sies which are In keeping with a gentleman or a lady. It docs not seem right that a little girl, let us call her a lady, for that she is. should be the only one out of the many pas serbvs that recognized the old lady's predicament and helped her. not laughed at her. What would the young couple that pits-" I this old lady up. think If. per haps their mothers or dear ones, were In the same pinch, and no one of fered to help, but Instead laughed? They would think them rude and mean to be sure. Yet it did not occur to them to help someone rises mother. F S. The Fairway to Success.
