The friendship'of Fiance for the Turks has been cooled by the validation of the Chester concession which would give American corporations large de velopment rights in the Near East. The policy of I’aris, which was to encourage the Moslems in the drive against the Greeks and the British is due now to alter. It is even said that the French are now working hand in hand with the Greeks in the effort to revenge themselves on the l urks. !■ This is a rather rapid about face, but it is part of the ancient European policy of setting one nation off against another in order to secure economic or territorial control. The conference at Lausanne re sumes with little prospect of a peaceful adjustment. Thu-' once more is revealed the extent to which eco nomic interests control the policy of European na tions. Rack in 1896 Admiral Colby M. Chester, while on a government mission in Turkey, obtained for his private use a franchise for exploration and develop ment. Out of this charter has sprung the Ottoman American company, whose rights to build Turkish ports and railways and develop mineral and oil fields lias recently been confirmed by Kenial Pasha. The French have been outspoken in claiming that this conflicts with other grants to French interests for railway construction. Inasmuch as the Chester con cession includes certain rights in the Mosul oil fields, where the British claim a mandate under the League of Nations, there also is some heartburning among the English exploitation interests. It is possible that the Turks took this step in order to set going the natural rivalry between the immense business interests of the" various nations. It will be remembered that Soviet Russia s'milarly awarded a concession to an American company for the opening up of rich oil fields in the island of Sakhalin, which had been seized by the Japanese government. There is room for some suspicion of such grants. Yet the Turkish delegation at Lau sanne makes lie plausible explanation that their concession was made because they believe Ameri cans know how to do husiness on a business basis without seeking to draw their government into an nexation^ schemes or into the exercise of economic pressure against such lesser nations. They do not consider the Chester project a monopoly, nor do the American people desire any such exclusive control. The stand of the American government for equal commercial opportunity for all nations is in line with our historic policy. The open door which the United States insisted on in China has held that country together and prevented the international scramble for commercial advantage in Asia degen erating into a war. The same broad course of equal opportunity alone is capable of leading to peace in the Near East. AN ACRE OF FISH. Ever solicitous for the welfare of his great family. Uncle Sam now suggests that the family fish pond contains possibilities yet unsounded. This is periodically brought forward. Practical demon strations have shown that an acre devoted to fish culture will produce more food than any other, and there are very few farms on which an acre could not be turned into a fish pond. Nebraska took the matter very seriously year* ago, when Lew May was fish and game commis sioner, and the hatchery at South Bend was set into motion. We now have two hatcheries in the state, and millions of'fry, bass, trout and other desirable varieties are annually planted in ponds, lakes and streams, from whence they are taken such as e* cape the carp, the catfish and the elder, of their own kind, by anglers who have the time a|Ad the en terprise to go after them. : * Not a great many private ponds are maintained, for the Nebraskan is not essentially a fish eater. He likes an occasional mess, if he has time to take it himself, but his steady diet is meat. He can raise his own cattle, Hogs and sheep, and his food from them is but a side line to his regular business. It might help a little, however, if he were to put a dam across the creek at some favorable place, where there is shade, and so establish a pond in which he could have his own fish. Such a pond will not only afford a supply of good food for the table, but will provide ice against summer’s needs, give a chance to go swimming now and then, and perhaps might be found serviceable in other ways. MAKE MURDER UNPOPULAR. Can not the police authorities, the prosecuting attorney and the courts co-operate in such fashion as to make murder less of a holiday episode in Omaha? At present a citizen takes umbrage at another and proceeds with very little ceremony to fix him for a funeral. Subsequent proceedings do not enter into the calculations of the murderer, who seems to think that he is 'like the sailor, with an angel aloft to look out for him. One of these strolled carelessly into the central police station, announcing that he understood he was wanted there, and re questing that he he given the same accommodations provided for another who lately spent a few un pleasant moments in the jail while waiting for a decision a* to whether killing a man ia to he regard ed as murder. This light regard for human life deserves to be rebuked. When men are afflicted by a vision so dis torted that any wrong must be wiped out In blood, they need the corrective that is available only through the operation of the law. Only when the law asserts its majesty, and in its sternness deals with tulprit, is it possible to expect that any high regard for the law will he shown. Om.iha is a community of law abiding people, who are shocked by the commission of such crimes as have recently stained the record. Men must be brought to understand that they arc not permitted to avenge any real or fancied grievance by taking the life of the one who has offended them. Law is made to protect as well as to punish, and it sets a high price on human life. The law, arid not the in dividual whim or impulse, should govern in all cases. RAIN FROM THE RIVER. a very important item of news is that Nebraska and Colorado have come to an agreement with reference to the use of the waters of the South Platte. A definite amount has been assigned to Nebraska, and permission to enter Colorado to erect the headworks of an irrigation system. Not much in that to excite imagination, but couple the bare statement with another equally bald, that thirsty acres in Keith, Perkins and Lincoln counties are to get the water they need, and note the result. It means that land that now- is green when bathed by the spring rains but brown and desolate through the summer and fall and winter, will come under the magic spell of man-made irri gation.' Fields of wheat will wave and ripple in the sunlight, corn plumes will nod and toss, and alfalfa blossom and invite the hungry herds that now feed scantily on bunch grass. The development project has been held up for several years, waiting for the adjustment that is now announced. Waters of the South Platte, so long allowed t*> waste, will he brought into service. The undertaking is not calculated to seriously in terfere with the plans of the central Nebraska sup plemental water users, for they will get their water from the main stream, after the North and South forks of the Platte have joined. The real advantage is that new lands will be brought into the work of producing food. Not that they have been entirely useless, for they have been productive, yet not to the limit that is possible when water is property applied. Energy and enterprise are building permanent prosperity in the region once considered hopeless, and the idle waters of a much-maligned river will soon be turned into chan nels of service to the world. RULED BY THE ROLLER. A- chorus of shouting directions and comment, a clamor of tongues that might have been a Babel, save that only one language was used. So many different suggestions,-^nd with such earnestness and vehemence! Yet in the end it was all accomplished, orderly and efficiently, and “silence like a poultice came.” The pressmen were taking the rollers out of the press room and putting them on trucks, to be hauled away to the roller makers, where a new set will be cast. What are rollers? About the most important bit of the great aggregation of machinery that is employed in making the paper. It the roller doesn't function, there is no paper. All that the tditors, reporters, artists, advertising experts and the rest may have assembled will go for nothing, if the roller fails. And the roller is temperamental, equal to a prima donna in its notions and peculiari ties. A winter roller will not work in summer, and vice versa. I'herefore in the early spring and again in the fall the pressmen have a celebration. They come up from the cavernous depths, where their mighty machines grind and grumble and roar throughout the year, and they bring the rollers with them, much as the baron's retainers used to come home dragging the yule log behind them. With joy and shouting they pack the old rollers in their great coffin-like containers and ship them away. Soon there will be another celebration, for the new set will be at hand, and the installation ceremonies will be as joyous and noisy as was that attending the outgoing. ' . , “A drop of yik makes millions think,” but it takss a good roller to spread that ink so it will do its duty as it should. Writers may write and print ers put in type, yet all depends on that composition of glue, molasses, glycerine and a few other in gredients, properly mixed and carefully poured, to the end that “suction” and "distribution” are equally balanced, and the result is the miracle of h printed page. ADDING SIX DAYS. More men than are usually given credit for it carry the principles of their religion into their every day contact with life. There is much goodwill to be found in the relationships of business, and the thing that most needs to be done is to stimulate and encourage these wise impulses of humanity. It is in this way that the Omaha conference to consider a seven-day-a-week progiam for the churches is highly important. How to apply the gospels to the daily round ia a question that is pushing rapidly to the front. There are some who will agree with Bernard Shaw in saying that Chris tianity is a fine thing but that it has never been tried. However that may be, certainly it is capable of being extended. Part of the projected program calls for the wider use of the church buildings. "We plan to make the church mora than a Sunday or a two-day-a-week affair,” Rev. A. S. Buell, president of the Omaha Ministerial union, explains. "Wre want to make it a meeting place and a point of interest and contact seven days a week." This vision of community ccn i ters is in harmony with the possibilities and the needs of the present day. From these forums might proceed much that would be helpful in the development and progress of hfe. The sincerity of the pulpit is not to be ques tioned, and the righteousness of the standards of the church is undeniable. The difficulty lies in the application of theae principles to particular cases. In endeavoring to carry the divine spark into every held of human activity the churchmen have laid out a very difficult but most useful task for themselves. They will, however, find much popular support for their movement. It is by such practical application of religion that the church will thrive.

From t n® Fieinont Tribuno. While sooi es of American vessels lie rotting at their docks and anchor ages for lack of a progressive govern mental marine policy, or national of ficials ponder deeply over the* ques tion of whether or not American sail ors shull wear bell bottom trousers. Am long as the officials seem intent upon revising the costume of the Yan kee gol>s they might as well go a lit itle further. For instance, a very an tiquated custom decrees that the j sailor must have 13 buttons on the j front of his trousers, this number de noting the original 13 states of the j union. If we are to be up to date, ! why does not official Washington in I crease the handicap to 48 buttons? Hut perhaps some of the legislators i have enough experience in button sewing at home to appreciate the dif* I Acuity of keeping 48 buttons on one | pair of pants in repair, a duty which the sailorman must perform diligent* l> if he hopes to pass the Saturday morning skipper's inspection. There is a navy tradition that the three white stripes on the collar of a sailor's jumper, the girls who wear them call them middies* commemorate three great battles of tlie American navy. We ought to be able to add at ! least three more stripes for the battle < f the Eagle Hut in London, the bat tle of the warring gobs in Inverness, Heotland, and the battle of the mill farv police in Plymouth and Devon port, England. The designers of the Yankee sailor’s uniform were evidently under the im pression that he never was bothered with the burden of ready cash be cause they made no provision for ( Sockets in his clothes, but in view j of the fact that a sailor's pay now i may be stretched with proper nurs- i ling from tlie fifth to the ’JOth days of ( the month, congress should take upon itself the duty of providing at least j one hip pocket !n his pants There is an unlimited field for the activities of a congress that has noth- 1 ing else to do in the reorganizing of jack-tar’s manner of dress. If the bell bottom trousers must go by the boards, then it is only fair that the lowly gob be given a little \leeway | from the knees to the waist line. W# niurt not he at all surprised if a sailor s bloc is developed in Washing ton as a result of all this agitation. It Cannot Stand the Light. I'rom t h. Philadelphia Public Ledger.

While there she was awarded a cash prize for the last completed original com position. She also received a travel ing scholarship. Then she spent three years in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts at Philadelphia, where she studied under William Chase and Cereha Beaux. In 1!I13-14 she painted in Paris under ihe instruction of Lu cien Simon and Louis Hlloul. leaving there after the outbreak of the war. Some years ago the .Santa Ke railroad sent her into Arizona and New .Mex ico to paint the Pueblo Indians.

Brit ish rubber interests, which hud I planned so to airetch their control of ' lhat necessity that It would pay off i the British debt to the United States. : are beginning to worry already over the possibilities of the snap hack and Its unpleasant consequences. They are coming Jo a realization that the ««. i ailed tnavenaon scheme for an export tax on ruhlier sale* to foreign pur- 1 chasers may have the effect of killing j the goose that lays the golden egg. It was a lovely scheme which the ! Britishers cooked up. and they did not I a little chortling over their own clev- 1 erne-s Funding of the British debt to America, with provision of annual j payments, made it necessary that i Great Britain tind somewhere huge i yearly sums. Why not. It was asked, find them in the United Htatrs where huger stuns are available than else where in the world'.’ Casting ahout for ways and means, they hit upon tho automobile and Its Insatiable appetite for rubber. The United State* has more automobile* and uses more rub ber than any other country in the world, and has no rubber supplies of it* own. The Rrltlsh control a large proportion of the world’s output of crude rubber, irtid In connection with the Dutch they have almost a monop oly. So It looked like a simple mat ter to form a combine and compel foreign purchaser* — particularly American purchaser*—to pay an ex port tax. thus deriving huge revenues and at the same time fostering Brit ish industry of rubber manufacture. Bo the combine was formed, the ex port tax imposed and the British and j Dutch sat down to enjoy the usufruct. Hilt their serenity was ahort lived The Americans did not taka It at all according to Hoyle: in fait, were downright contrary about it. Instead of cheerfully assenting to the pro gram that they should dig Into their own pm k.-ts for the money to pnv off the British debt to themselves, they began to look around for their own source* of rubber supply, and this looking around met with such re aponaive encouragement from Bra il and other countries in tropical Amer ica tbgt the British and Dutch awoke suddenly to a realization that they ha-1 overlooked a bet. They are in a pnnlr now ov. r the thought of what will become of th« Ir own plantation* If in a few yens they lose the Amer leiiii market, which consume* TO per cent of the crude rubber produced. 1 “The People’s Voice’’ LditoriaU from reader* of Tbo Maralaf ®ea. ftradon of fhe Morning Bo* ar* lavltod t* . uie thli column frooljr for *apr*nl*» *• I matter! of publlo lat*r*at. I Mora About Tobacco. Randolph, Neb.—To the i^ditor of | The Omaha Bee: In a recent copy of The Bee some one who signs him j self ’ Reader” thinks tobacco doesn’t hurt any one If not used to excess. ! Now. I wonder what he has been ! reading if be hasn't discovered that tobacco hurts both the user and oth ers. I would advise him to get a copy of the Mutual Insurance Journal of A/aich, 1H3. from Lincoln, and this | is what he should read: The actuarial j bureau of the National Board of Fire j rnderwrlters recently completed an malysi* of tlie causes of flies In the I’nited States during the year 1921. They found that the losses by Area where insurance was carried amount ed to $3UH.3‘J4.HOO, of which $25,992. OTl was due to smoking and matches. Now, that mav not seem very much to many, but when we stop to consider that the tobacco habit is growing ever since the introduction of the cigaret, which is the A, B, C for both boys and girls, no one knows what it may be 50 years from now. We ail know that the same irresponsible man or hoy that starts great fires in our cities, causing such destruction to life and property, is equally dangerous when he gets into our great forests Iw’ithihis lighted cigar, causing dam 'age which no one can estimate. If tobacco had no other bad qualities than the fires that are started rn ac count of its use, should condemn It. But it lins many other had qualities. It i« an abominable thing in the homes of the poor, where mothers and little children often suffer much for lack of what is nei eas.iry for their health and comfort, while the so-called head of the house, apparently blind to their discomfort, bring in his tobacco. We are told that prominent men are often great users of tobacco; that is very true, but prominent men uftefl make great mistakes. It was a prominent man that first introduced the tobacco • weed to the white race. Prominent men allowed the negroes to be brought by the ship load into this country and thousands of noble lives were sacrificed to give them thc-ir freedom on account of that great mis- : take. It is not likely that there will ever he a war to free the tobacco slaves, . but now that there Is ho nsuch ad vice from both press and pulpit to not give so much thought to our selves, but to work for the good of others, perhaps the eves of fathers will be opened and they may see the selfishness of setting a had example to the young boys of this generation.
