Failure of the Citizens’ State bank of Holdrege, bringing the likelihood of a draft for almost $400, 000 on the bank guaranty fund, is a costly ex perience for many of those concerned. The inter ests of the depositors are insured by the guaranty law, but the money has to be provided by the other members of the state banking system. It is neces sary for sqch drains as this on the financial institu tions of Nebraska to be stopped. Immediate action by the state legislature to improve the operation of the guaranty law so that such losses may be pre vented is a matter of immediate importance. The history of this particular case at Holdrege is peculiarly interesting because of the connection j of former Attorney General Clarance A. Davis as vice president of the closed institution. Through out this case Mr. Davis appears to have been the victim of unfortunate circumstances and misunder standings. The course of events began with the failure of another bank in Holdrege. The prosperous bank of which Mr. Davis was a stockholder agreed to take over the business of the bankrupt institution, pay off its depositors and thus avoid the distress and ex pense of a receivership. It is evident that the ex pectation was that any deficiency would be footed by the state guaranty fund. Mr. Davis assumed the position of attorney for the failed bank, thus earning a fee of $16,000, part of it cash, part in stock and part in doubtful paper. He also endorsed a number of notes as an accommodation. Banking affairs are frequently of a delicate na ture, requiring the unshaken confidence of the pub lic. It is possible that matters at Holdrege could have been carried to a legal aand successful con clusion but for one thing of which Mr. Davis com plains. This was that Governor Bryait soon after assuming office called in the newspaper reporters and made public announcement that he had re quested Attorney General Spillman to investigate Mr. Davis’ actions. Straightway followed a run on the Davis bank at Holdrege. The question at issue was whether or not the state guaranty fund should pay $187,000 to close out the deficiency of the bank that had been taken over. At that very time Mr. Spillman was investi gating the law on the subject and a preliminary re port was in the hands of the governor. A number of prominent bankers urged the payment, partly perhaps, because by heading off failure of the Davis bank the guaranty fund would be savc^roni a loss of almost $400,000. Attorney General Spillman studied the law on the subject and in his report to the governor re fused to recommend payment, but left the matter to the discretion of the executive. Meanwhile the run-«t Holdrege continued, urttil sow the second failure has come. Concerning the points of law involved the pub lic has no meanr A judging. It is possible, as Mr. Davis has done, co blame loose talk for the result. But the main point must not he lost sight of, that all the time the bankers of the state knew what was coming but were unable to prevent it. It is to eliminate just such occurrences as this failure that the state guaranty of deposits act must be amended. There is a time when by prompt action and assistance an honestly conducted bank tha^ is in difficulty may be saved, and it should be made possible for this time to be seized. A PRINCE IS BORN. ^ Into this sorely troubled world enters an infant pr:nce, the son of King George's daughter. In the dim past from which the custom of royal rulership comes down this would be the occasion of nation wide rejoicing. Astrologers would study the stars and cast his horoscope. The-fate of empire would hang upon his future. The world has widened since those tribal days. Princes no longer lead in battle or de cide on policies of state. The throne exists in Great Britain because it docs nothing more than personify and inspire the unity of peoples and lands that make up the empire. The day of royal might is past. This princeling is scarcely more interesting and perhaps not as important as the baby at your neighbor's, down the street* His growth and development will be surrounded with more restrictions, and it may even be said that he does not have the chance of an ordinary child to lead a useful and happy life. Power does not reside today in palaces. In this age of mechanical invention and scientific discov eries it is not birth, but knowledge that gives leader ship. Centuries have passed since Machiavclli wrote that war should be^the only study of a prince. If that wire true, nowadays the proper business of governments is exactly the contrary—the avoidance of'war. Such conquests ss are endorsed by mod ern opinion are those of nature, not of man. In this day of radio, airplanes, steam and electricity, a king is about as up-to-date and useful as the totem pole in front of a savage hut. Such rever ence as is paid to him is based on ancient supersti tions whose very origins have been forgotten. It rests today not with one man, hut with all men, to rule the affairs of the world. There was a time when Jby the fiat of a beneficent despot re forms could be brought about without either the will or the understanding of the people. Of late reliance has been placed on the force of lawmak ing to accomplish the same ends. Slowly it is com ing to be realized that not by laws alone but only with the general consent of public opinion ran any change In the custom* or conduct of the people be accomplished. Something of the divine power and responsibil ity which once was assumed by kings has been ap portioned as a heritage to every man and woman in the world of today. The little son of Princess Mary will never be capable, merely by reason of his. rank, of more good or evil than millions of other persons of less noble birth. There is every likeli hood, judging from the simple, earnest characteris tic* of his family, that he will realize both his in dividual rosponsibilities and his limitations. If each other human being would understand his own duties and opportunities as well, democracy would b« in full flower. CUT , OUT "PORK:'’ SAVE THE RIVERS. One of the unfailing features of the closing days of congress is the uproar about the "pork” in the rivers and harbors appropriation. It is started by designing persons, and is echoed by unthinking persons, and a great wrong is perpetuated because the clamor has effect. Oscar W. Underwood, sena tor from Alabama, explained a great deal when he said: * , "Every man in the Mississippi valley knows that the railroads set out deliberately to crush water competition—and did so.” Every senator who criticizes the appropriation measure is not the defender of railway monopoly of transportation, but by his course he is contribut ing to that end. That the bill contains some proj ects that may be postponed, abandoned or modi fied, is probably true, but these can be sought out and set aside without damage to the measure as a whole. Objection to the rivers and harbors measure being included in the army appropriation bill is not sound. At present the engineer corps of the United States army is the finest body of trained experts in the world. Its peace time occupation has been to care for the public improvements carried on by the general government. In fact, it is the only well organized group of men in the federal service who can take charge of such work. As to its com petencc and its service, the Panama canal may be cited as an example of what the army can do be sides fight. Every harbor on either coast of the United States has been benefited by the work of the army engineers. Comprehensive programs for the improvement of inland water ways have been prepared several times by army engineers, and set aside or mutilated by the cry of “pork.” Periodically people discuss the need of belter methods for hauling produce to market, yet when an effort is made to get some definite measure through congress, the opposition hides behind the mask of economy, shouts “pork” and "army control” loud enough, and frightens votes away from the great enterprises. The Omaha Bee does not advocate wastefulness; it is opposed to the expenditure of money on streams “down which a duck could not swim,” or those which perplex the engineer as to whether they should be dredged or paved. But we do stand for- the practical employment qf the water courses of the country that may be used, that will supple ment rather than rival the railroads, and believe that money invested in such public enterprise is well spent. The engineer corps of the United States army is part of the public servipe, and should be employed in doing public work. IOWA IN GOOD COMPANY. Sixteen states of the union are cited for decora tion because within the past ten years neither of them has had a lynching. Iowa is one of these. This does not mean that Iowa has not been with out provocation in this time, for several atrocious crimes have been committed in the state, at which popular indignation ran high. Yet the citizens were able to control themselves, and permit the law to take its course. A series of executions at the Fort Madison penitentiary last year -drew forth much comment, but mainly from outside the state. Iowa people were content, for they felt it was the majesty of the law, made by themselves, that was being exerted, and under the law they enjoy their liberty. Iowa has not always been so placid; on a num ber of occasions in the past mobs have formed, and with little or no concealment, have hanged culprits. No apology or excuse can be mad$ for these pro ceedings, other than that the offenses were of such nature as to arouse popular wrath to a pitch where cool judgment was thrown aside and vengeance speedily wreaked. But the Hawkeyes have taken a firmer hold on their emotions, and, while their blood is as red as ever—and no question hag yet been raised as to the valor of an Iowan—they are will ing to let their own laws, administered by their own courts, deal with offenders. This example is one that deserves all the com mendation it will get. Mob rule is never to be con doned; in the moment of utmost exasperation, peo ple should remember that the law is competent to deal with any crime, and while courts may some times make mistakes, a mob is never right. War Mothers are going to have a tag day to raise money toward setting up a soldier memorial. Which will recall the fact that a number of very ambitious projects were lost sight of in the scramble for personal wealth. ^President Harding got a quick response to his address on debt settlement^ two bills being at once introduced. But where does that leaye the ship subsidy ami the soldier bonus? The legislature is going to make it possible to prosecute the “master mind’’ whenever he is caught. Wc are in favor of that, but the real job is up to our local Sherlock Holmeses. Those press photographers who failed to get Ganna Walska to pose on shipboard need not de spair. The press agent will be around with all sorts of "art” a little later. - X Picking eigarets to match gowns may amuse the fair smokers, but only the pipe smoker knows the real joy of tobacco fumes.

They are my friends, my countrymen—I know them not by name. I greet them not; I shield them not, but they remain the same. On busy streets 1 sec them roam, I see them hasten -by, I see them—smiling—hurry home when eventide is nigh. They are niy friends for their desires their dreams are dear and true; The things they love and live to gain I love and chorish, too. My bliss is theirs, their grief is mine—likewise is hill and glen— ' All I possess I can't deny my friends and countrymen. Life would not he complete unless they were my friends sincere— Home would not give a charm as sweet if they could not be here. t I need not greet them as they roam, for silente com prehends I need not meet them in their homes to claim them for my. friends. _i “From State and -Nation” Editorials front oilier newspapers. Refreshments to Follow. I’rorn Harrison’s Homo Farmer. No man niay.be so hungry that he will attend a meeting just to get something to eat, but the mention of some filler /or the inner man usually swells the attendance. That is a pretty good reason why we should not make these farm bureau meetings entirely matters of routine. We are not so hungry a lot. but "refresh ments to fellow" will interrupt the formality that the informal ones dread. A snack to eat. a cup of coffee, or even a good cigar gives the modest ! one an opportunity to. rub elbows with his neighbor, leisurely, fearless ly, honestly, and to express what his conscience dictates. liuring the routine that precedes he is in a strange, stiff atmosphere. He may be willing to brave this providing that a period to Ids own liking ia to follow. llventually lie may be led by tlie subsequent refreshments to burst out with something worth while in ttu forml*l period. Once we asked a lodge leader why he always announced refreshments or smokes to follow the meetings. "Un less I did we would .not get a cor poral's guard," he replied. Something to eat or to smoke means sociability. For sociability's sake most of us would dine again though our stomachs might he burst ing with what w-o had consumed Just before. It wasn't the tang of the liquor that entieed men Into tlie liar rooms and taverns which once wo knew, but men understood that side by side they might sip. and the sip ping would provide the excuse for them to act like sociable beings. Oth erwise they might have been like frigid strangers. Let us not shut sociability out of our farm bureau meeting lest we shut out membership also, and let us remember that the best proof we can offer to the effect that sociability will prevail, is that there will lie a snaek to eat. a cupful to drink, or some thing in a Harvard wrapper to smoke after the worst Is over. The Harmless, Necessary Cat. From the Washington Star Vhen the Russian famine was at its height everything eatable was consumed. The people were reduced to the most extreme means of sus tafning life. Kven the dogs and cats were used for food. Now the coun try Is suffering from the effect of this unnatural consumption of domestic animals. From KU v comes a plea for felines, to reduce the mice and rats that are devastating the land. No Pied Piper appears to lure away the rodents and the southern Russians are clamorous for the restoration of the cats that once throve in the land The quotations are startling—5,000. 000 rubles for a. promising youngster., while adults of the species bring 10. 000.000 apiece. American housewives, concerned over the embarrassing pro ductivity on the part of their pets, may be encouraged by these figures, low as they may reduce in terms of dollars or cents. A shipment of cats to Kiev would probably make the exporter rich, whatever the rate of ruble exchange. It would not bo necessarv to stock the craft to capacity at sailing. Like the express agent in that delectable tale. "Pigs Is Pigs." the shipment may grow to the point of embarrassment. In this connection one is reminded of the apachryphal Chicago alderman who, when Jho plans for the world fair of 18S3 were under discussion, and It was proposed to bring a num ber of gondolas from Venice for use on the lagoon, objected to the ex pense of a large importation and urged that only two be brought over and then to "let nature take l*s course." The rats at Kiev may be the means of bringing soviet Russia a little closer to the rest of the world. The cry for cats and more oats is a very human one and may arouse sympathy for the deluded- subjects of the com mlssars. “ ■ — We Live on a tv«r! From the Cincinnati Bnqulrcr. Now. after all, we are informed that the earth is not an oblate ' spheroid, as has been taught for r»n turles but Is slightly pearshaped. This hypothesis Is advanced bv an Knglish astronomer. \V. H. Jeans, whoso calculations have ben recog nized by the Royal Astronomical so rietv through the award of a gold medal. In his thesis upon the sulked the scientist asserts that the top of the mundane pear la a spot in south western Kngland and the stalk end Is In th« South Pacific ocean. Ills opinion Is that the moon is a frag ment broken away from the stalk end. which harmonizes with the older view that our satellite once tilled the space now occupied by the Pacific. According to these points In the nr gument, Knglund Is the highest place on the glolie. which Is now rather doubtful as to accurate description. The world can now prepare Itself for a tremendous battle among the geometers, the geographers and the astronomers after the manner of Gall leo. during which the planet upon which we are living will continue to whirl through space, pear wise or ob late sphere wise, as the case may be Daily Prayer T* hs\» not horau*« >• »*U not Jtm»« 4 ?.

Havelock, N'cb.—To the Editor of The Uinalia liee: Our country is in ' greater pefii new than at any time (during the world war. Then, when Mile fall was so insistent, and our I liotneH and loved ones were imperiled, j tho American peoplp put aside their - el fish interests in a large measure laud ministered unto humanity. Men and women of wealth acquitifd them selves nobly. Hay and niglit they gave witliout reserve to the needs of their comrades in a great cause. To them was given a new vision of the meaning of life. With tlie cessation of the conflict has coine a dangerous reaction. Ueleased from war, many people have gone to the opposite extreme of l self indulgence. They have not yet | learned the noble art of persistence 1 in well doing. There Is doctrine cur ; rent now to this effect: "Let us get [the most out of life. Let us appro | priato to our own use the resources I God has entrusted to us. I^et us iso late ourselves from world responsi bilities. Let us close our ears to the cry of tho distressed.” During the turmoil and agony of tho years of warfare, tho question was often asked: "What is the matter with the world?” Now, as tlie causes of the war have lieen traced back to their Source, it has been borne in on tlie consciousness "f the civilized Christian nations that the real factor that produced the catastrophe was selfishness and greed: or. In other words, tjje turning aivay from God. Today the question is being asked. "What is the matter with America?'' The most Immediate and fundamental need of America today is a conversion of the spirits of men. Somehow wo must convert the spirit of suspicion into that of faith. The spirit of getting into one of giving. The spirit of hate into the spirit of love. The spirit of selfishness into one of service. The opportunity of our country to serve transcends the claims of any political party. uur country is bigger than either the democratic or the republican par ty or any other jiartisan group. For it is under Divine obligation to serv'e humanity. Kegardleee of the limita tions Imposed by any set of men. Obligations to serve not alone within our own gates, (and God knows the needs arc great here): but our service should lie felt around the world, in the darkest corners of the earth. AVe are doomed if we do not look beyorul any man or organization of merr. however wise or influential, to our God who holds the nations in his hands. Organizations and parties will perish, but God abldeth forever. Let us follow Him as individuals, as par ties. as states, as a nation. In all the problems that confront us today.

Omaha.—To ths tklitor of The Omaha Bee: Now mors seriously than ever before arises the question as to the actual source of responsi billty for present day Juvenile crime i and general laxity in conformance to i what some year* ago had been the unquestioned duly of every child to home and "parent*. Of course, there are a multiplicity of facte to bo considered. Thero arc the various Influence*, the many sug gestiona of a very pernicious nature, style* of dress, disrespect of elders for constituted authority, and notably lh« many examples Impressed upon the young mind by adults. But. it i* my purpose to discuss fully the source of the general lark of character, and the baste principles of life in the vouthfnl ages of from IS. and even 20. to as low as 14 or 1". First, if we go back some 10 or 15 years, we shall find that the motion pictures at that time were of a very mild and purely entertaining nature, whose sole purpose was to entertain: and also that at thnt time the Indus try was not solicitous for dramatic connections and principles, but was in most cases rather crude and de void of any serious comparison to drama at the time. But. reviewing to day's condition*, wc find that same induatry producing plays whose pur pose It is tp delve Into the intricarles of human nature, and by evil sugges tions. termed artistic, bring out tha supposedly aetual state of life. They are no longer of a entertain ing nature. They are. on the reverse, on a mission of destruetlon. The own er* and producers, whose characters am none of the best, mid whose liter ary taste*, to say the least, are vul gar and “Inartistic," resort to these un-ans—the mean* of destruction of American home life, the ruin of the coming generation, the mocking of modesty, the destruction of souls— M’ung souls, and the consequent un d«rmlnlng of our government.

The l>ook is well written. It make* interesting reading for people outside the pro fession. but we don't believe It gives a faithful picture of actual newspaper offices. There is "The Old Man,” the man aging editor, a cantankerous individ ual w ho isn't content unless lie "bawls out1’ somefsidy every day. And there is "Josslyn.” the city editor, who Creaks under the strain, and even after a trip abroad is afraid to go hack to the city desk, but asks for and is givfli a subordinate position, there to eke out the remainder of his days. Both are men who, starting with high ambitions and ideals, have been sidetracked •>rid doomed to dis appointment. The "cub." the poet, the drunkard and the "star” are all painted with much ability, but in the saffron atmo sphere of an office over the door* of whirh. it seems, should 1>© painted "all hope abandon, ve who enter here.” It is a bilious viewpoint, front which too many newspaper men Wit: at tin ir calling. Men break tine i tin -i n in banking, In the law. n, the grocery business and in the cloak and suit trade quite as often as in the business of making newspapers. And the men w_ho break in the newspaper business would probably have done the same If they had become butchers or del icatessen dealers It was Iwin Cobb who said he never, in all his experience, knew a goes] city editor who was not calm tnti free from nerves. Outside of that, as said before, the book is very readabe. It is published by CovictaJdcGee, Chicago. Is not one of these but what the "movie*" do, and can cause. True, there are some good play*, some good qualities about them. The question then arises as to how this evil can be checked. There have been many suggestions offered and as quickly set aside. But, to strike at the sours* is necessary' for any re sults. Why not appoint a disinterested group of men. representing every strata of society, and have it convene for the puriK>»e of passing judgment on plays before they are filmed.’ In this way they would pa’ui a fairly good censorship and would not play havoc with men s and juvenile souls and passions.
