The truest test of contrition is reparation and restitution. Only when admission of guilt is ac companied by a sincere endeavor to restore and make whole the loss of the one who has suffered, or to completely and perfectly repair the wrong done, is the sincerity of penitence beyond doubt. A news item coming from the offices of a great railroad company affords some evidence of this. One man has restored $500 to cover the value of property he stole while In the employ of the com pany; three .others have sent in money to pay for rides they stole from the company. Such payments are usually called “conscience money,” but that is too loose a description. Conscience is the term generally employed when we talk of repentance; it will serve as well as another, .but the action is really a manifestation of the deep conviction of sin and an equally deep and earnest desire to remove as far as possible that sin by doing all that can be done to repair its effects. We need not pusue the metaphysical aspect of the case. Sin is not wholly removed by repentance, nor by restitution and reparation, but forgiveness of sin is thus deserved. "If thy brother offend thee, rebuke him, and if he turn to thee and say, T repent,’ forgive him.” We all say, “Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.” Only in this way could erring, imperfect beings such as mor tals are, with all their intellectual attainments and spiritual gifts, ever hope to make progress toward that state of perfection which will entitle them to the rewards anticipated in another and higher ex istence. Just as a grudge is the poorest baggage one can carry through life, because it lays with double weight upon the bearer, so an unrepented offense is a heavy load. Only by the acts of men can we judge of their, mental processes, yet this is not al ways a safe guide, for none can be sure at any time of what is present in the heart and soul of another. It is not wise, therefore, to judge others save with leniency and in the most merciful of spirit. We have often argued that restitution should be made a part of the penalty attached to any crime. Certainly it belongs with any act of pen ance, for without its effect the penitence is incom plete. Mercy is as the poet says, “an attribute of God Himself, and earthly power doth then show likest God's when mercy seasons justice.” But be fore mercy can be expected must come repentance, for man is only entitled to forgiveness when he can truly say: "Still stands thine ancient sacrifice, An humble anrl a contrite heart.” NOW THE "SKY FLIVVER.” Too bad the air "flivver" had a blowout and fell into a tree on its way to Washington. This ac cident to Georges Barbot’s glider may dampen the interest of a lot of people who otherwise might soon be driving the aerial highways by the cheapest method of transportation yet devised. The French glider champion recently made a nonstop flight from Long Island to West Point and back, a distance of 125 miles, #n two gallons of gasoline and a pint of oil. The total expense of this trip was 62 cents. The Curtis oriole biplane which accompanied the glider consumed 27 gallons x>{ gasoline. The machines were aloft for 2 hours and 40 minutes. In spite of the mishap on a later flight, there is the possibility that flying may come finally within the means of the average householder. The old expression, used to convey the idea of impossibility, "I'd as soon think of flying,” is bound for the scrap heap. Though Barbot’s glider has a tiny engine, yet most of his soaring was done without motive power ether than the winds. The main secret of these gliders is that they are fitted with wings so efficient that, for every foot which they descend under the pull of gravity they will glide forward as many as 17 feet horizontally. Thus, while he is gliding downward and outward, the skillful aviator is able to seek out and find rising trends of air. These will not only check his gradual descent, but will actually bear him up with them. In this way he :s enabled to defy the force of gravity for almost as long as he chooses. Some long flights have been safely made in gliders with no engine at all, the machine being launched from the side of a mountain or high hill. However, the sky “flivver” of the Frenchman was fitted with a small engine which enabled him to take off from level ground and which was used as an auxiliary. The peregrinating windmills open up new possibilities of cheap flying. The problem of aviation in a double sense, is st'.ll the upkeep. FOOD WITHOUT DRINK. Delmonico’s, the famous New York restaurant, has closed down, and its fixtures, including wine glasses and all. are being auctioned off. This does not mean that the actual business of feeding the multitude in Gotham is going into a decline, for people must eat, and millions of stomachs are to be filled each day in the great metropolis. Only the end of the cabaret and the “swell” restaurant where eating was less of a necessity and more of pn adjunct to liquor sales, are seriously hit by the new order of things. Long before prohibition ram*; to the country, the riot of the “Broadway restau^nts” had brought attention from the nation. Charges mounted with the popularity of the places where corks popped and dancers and waiters vied for the attention of “live ones/' who proved their claim to the title by prodigal expenditure of money. It was not so much an exhibition of good living as of riotous in dulgence. The fastidious diner, who selected his food and drank with taste and judgment was not so much in view as the reckless spender, whose lack of knowledge of viands and wines was forgotten in his possession of money. Even the recent act of Governor Smith has not lifted the cloud of gloom that has settled over the once gay and expensive places/and just now the prospect is that it will not he a great while until a viaitor can drop in at almost any Broadway restaurant, no matter how proud its nsme, and get something to eat without being expected to drench, hia food wi#J costly but otherwise uncertain liquors. X ADDING YEARS. Things are hardly as bad as they seem. Con sider for a moment the rapid pace of life in these modern days. It is said to be killing. The conges tion of the cities, the fatigue of industry and the high pressure of pleasure seeking all are combined in a general denunciation, as shortening the life oT the race. And yet the average of life throughout the United States is being lengthened, year by year. People in those simpler days did not live longer—it only seemed longer. To find a time when human life was longer than now one must go back to the days of Methusaleh. In the anniversary number of the Spectator United States Senator Copeland, former health com missioner of New York, has this to say: "Fifty years ago in New York City the average expectation of life was 42 years. Today it is 63 years. There is no reason why the average person should not look forward to living to be 75 or 80. In the United States there are 3,600 men and women past 100 years of age. Right living and right think ing will give any one of us a material increase over the normal expectancy." “Right living and right thinking.” That phrase is one to be marked. By the increased knowledge of sanitation and hygiene a few years have been added to the span. But to be in harmony with na ture, to avoid evil and to keep one’s nerves and dis position clear offers a way to add still more. Life under such conditions possesses not only length, but also breadth—and is furthermore worth living. PIONEERS OF THE UNKNOWN. History is like a pyramid, the base of which is buried in the sands of time. How little we know of those who were before us in this very valley of the Missouri.' Indians? Ah, but before the Indians, what and whom? Prof. C. W. M. Poynter of the University of Nebraska Medical college opened up some entranc ing speculations in a recent address before one of the luncheon clubs. The Indians themselves are of Asiatic origin, he ventured to say. Measurements of skulls and skele tons correspond with the Mongolian types. Before the Indians came to this continent, other races were here. Vestiges of one lost race are found today on the bluffs along the Missouri, where they built their mound-like houses. The Wallace mound people, scientists call them. The ruins of their dwellings have been unearthed south of Omaha, about Child’s point, and in Fontenelle forest. The charcoal of the fires about which gathered the six to 10 families who lived in these earthen huts is found today, together with various other relics that each tell a story. These ancients with the flattened skulls were not so tall as the Indians. They farmed with a buffalo bone for a hoe and used several primitive flint instruments. No one can say where they obtained the flint, but the shells that they used in cooking exist today under the soil of Oklahoma. Tltese are said to have been left by the Gulf of Mexico, which at one time extend ed into the heart of the continent. That must have been at least 10,000 years ago. But north of Omaha, above Florence, traces have been discovered of a different and still more ancient people, of the Neanderthal type. Their skulls are different in shape from those of any people known today. The bones of this race are found inter mingled with the bones of animal types that have long since disappeared. Dr. Poynter says the saber toothed tiger and the woolly rhinocerous roamed this land when these people lived. The Nebraska Loess men, they are called. Perhaps they dwelt here in be tween glacial periods, when the ice had fallen back from this region, say 30,000 or 40,000 years ago. None of this is very exact, and all of it is pieced together from the scraps that they left behind them. What could be more romantic than science, when it deals with the base of the historical pyramid? Two of its most interesting and most human branches are archeology and anthropology. The democratit sages should not be discouraged because they can not tell exactly what the president is going to do. He does not change his policy as often as they predict, but if they will watch him close enough, they will see that he is sticking pretty close to first principles, all the time. i “Drunk in the line of duty” is the novel plea presented in behalf of a Detroit liquwr sleuth, on trial for murder. This adds a new terror to the enforcement program. It might not be out of place to preserve at least one of those old geographies as an example of what the school children had to put up with in the name of “economy.” Our congratulations to the Council Bluffs school boys who played so well in a band. Third place in a national competition is an honor. The Big Muddy is a little late, perhaps, but will be none the less effective in its annual June bender. Only one result is possible when an electric spark step# on the gas in a balloon. Soon we will all see whether Poincare is looking for the Rhine or for reparations. • Heat wave is broken in the east, let us hope for the rest of the summer. , / <. - ( “Spark Plug” is doing no than some of the others.

Readers of The Morning Boo art lavltod to use this column freely lor axprosslon oo matters of publla loterest. / Dispensary System a Failure. Washington, D. C.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: An article appear ing in the "People's Voice" column a few days ago, signed "Niclrema,'' pro posed that the United States govern ment manufacture and sell intoxicat ing liquors. This idea is not original, by any means. It has heretofore been tried out and "found wanting.” The Russian imperial government tried it and finally discarded the plan, as that country was becoming fur ther dragged down by alcoholic bever ages, especially vodka, and even the bolshevists look upon the alcoholic traffic with suspicion and scorn. In our nation. South Carolina once installed |he state dispensary sys tem, selling to the consumer only in original packages and prohibiting drinking upon premises where pur chased. draft upon the part of gov ernm^at agents Jed to abandonment of the scheme, and the state succes sively abandoned dispensary, local and county option, and passed into the prohibition column. Of course this waS before the adoption of federal constitutional prohibition. Only a few days ago the Associated Press advised us in dispatches from Switzerland that the leading phy sicians' organization, becoming alarmed at the great increase in drunkenness in that country, has urged the abolition of the state part nership under the dispensary system, and to install instead the prohobition regime as being practiced ip the United States. No license, low license, high license, local and county option, government ownership and distribution—all these have been tried and found wanting sirice time immemorial. Rome was not built in a day; five or 10 years is needed to furnish a fair test of the prohibition policy. We gave other policies longer tests than that. Let the administration's law enforcement policy proceed with alacrity. A thor ough trial is only fair. NEBRASKAN, Splendors of Nebraska. Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Hee: Our distinguished fellow citizen, Mr. John L. Webster, was recently misquoted In Omaha and Lincoln papers ns saying that "Our country Is going to the devil on ac count of the pernicious bolshevlsts, anarchists, socialists and other lsts." Mr. Webster was orator of the day at the 50th anniversary of Nebras ka's statehood. On that occasion, speaking of the past and future of the state, he pictured it all in the fok lowing eloquent words, showing Ne braska's achievements as a marvel of history: "In sublimity of beauty what other state can equal Nebraska, with its wide plains and expanding canopy of sky. You shall never see elsewhere as here, the same gold and Are at sunrise and sunset. There are times when the river valleys can be seen fading into the blue distance and the lowlands banked with blue shadow. "There is no eastern state In which you can see such rosy dawn, such fiery twilight. May Nebraska still keep going forward until In all things it shall excel even the state which has the word 'Excelsior' upon Its coat of arms." De Tocqueville, one of France’s great men. visited nur country nearly a hundred years ago to escape the fearful tragedies of the French revo lution. While In the central river region he looked upon it with admir ing eyes and said: "This Is the most niagnificent dwelling place prepared hy God for the abode of man, the beautiful Mississippi valley.” Will the euloglums of these two gifted orators be fulfilled'’ Will their Inhabitants, through a high civiliza tion and equitable distribution of the material things they possess, promote here such a system of government as will leave no room for the fanatical ’’lsts'' and their gruesome policies’ n F.

Notwithstanding that this Lane resolution produced the greatest up roar on the floor of the senate slr.ee civil war days It has taken those clergymen nine years to discover the Iniquities that every paper In the land published during February 1914. With his colleagues In broken forma tion on the senate floor, like excited brokers around the stock ticker, Sena tor Eane delivered this thunderbolt: "A short time ago there died one of the greatest financiers of the coun try. who Is said to have dug the en trails out of the New Haven railroad system. Talk about ‘wolfing Wall Street?’ The process of wolfing had heen practiced on the people of New England, widows, orphans. trust funds, to the tune of hundreds of mil lions of dollars hy the largest firm of financiers In this country, that of the lute lamented J.

In August 1912 the Stanley Invest! gating committee quoting from the United States commission of labor said: "Fifty thousand persons, em ployee of the blast furnaces, steel works snd rolling mills work M hours per week.

Omaha.—To th« Editor of The Omaha Ree: The recent decision ren dered by the I’nlted States supreme court vindicates the action of the two lone representatives who voted against the language law In the 1919 session of the legislature. It shows also that the constitution and the supreme court are the protectors of the rights and liberties of the people. As this troublesome question has been disposed of. 1 believe every American shoud study the constitu tion. He should know that it is the foundation of nur liberties The peo ple should he taught the facts about the creation of this document and of the government to which It gave birth.

JERRY HOWARD. “From, State and Nation” —Editorials from Other Newspapers— By What Standard? From the Grand Island Independent. What are you worth? Chemical experts have discovered that the aver age man of 5 feet 10 inches and weigh ing 150 pounds, contains enough fat for seven bars of soap, enough iron for two 10-penny nails, enough salt to season one hard-boiled egg, enough sugar for one cup of coffee, enough lime to whitewash one medium sized chicken coop, and enough sulphur to rid one Pomeranian dog of fleas. All of which is worth 98 cents. This makes the big Welsh grenadier worth twice as much as Lloyd George with his 5 feet 2H inches. A rp«n isn't worth, according to this standard, what he would bring as beef. If you are worth what you will earn, then Jack Dempsey is wor.th 3,000 American soldiers. He can pocket more money in 45 minutes than all the doctors, teachers, preach ers, editors, lawyers and bankers in Grand Island can earn in that many days. If you are worth what you own or control, then Harry K. Thaw is worth more than John It. Mott, and the Drs. Mayo, and Harding and Hughes put together. What are you worth? Kxactly the difference you make in the sum total of human hap piness that you leave behind you. You are not worth much unless you pro duce more than you consume of this world's goods. Abolishing the Signboards. From the Sioux Fall* Pres*. County officials of Nicollet county, Minnesota, have shown commendable courage in an order Just issued in connection with road improvemeiA; they have decreed that all advertising signboards be removed from road right-of-ways in their jurisdiction. This nction is justified by four rea sons, all of which seem logical. They are: That such signs In the roadway interfere with the proper upkeep of the road; that they ate erected in such positions that views on many cross ings are obstructed; that some are placed on curves and distract the at tention of drivers while turning the corners; and that they are unsightly and detract from the scenic beauties of the landscape. They might have gone further. They might have noted that the en tire right-of-ways of the highways be long to the public at large, and any signboard erected there by private business constitutes an intrusion. They might even have speculated on how much the present lumber shortage might have been lessened had ail the signboard building in recent years been forbidden. But they said enough. They order ed the boards down. Billhoaiyl con cerns will no doubt protest st the outset, and do deserve some sympathy because they have a considerable out lay of cash involved in the condemned structures. But they will be quirk to find other means of advertising which avoid the objectionable features or this method, and will better their standing in public favor and returns by adopting them. On Being Agreeable. From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. The usual notion of being agreeable associates Itself with cheerful, de bonair and w itty; with bringing to a party of some sort a countenance of brightness, a presence of animation and gayety. The agreeable are sup posed to tie those who assent to what we say. admire us for what we are or thnjk we ar» and do not trouble us with serious reflection about the I ddle of the universe The agreeable are they who "travel along" and chime in with the reet. They are for at^y plan of amusement suggested, and they impart to it such life, such energy, such humor, as tney have to give. But there ts a kind of agreeahleness that knows as well when to withdraw as to participate. There is an agree able absence *s well as an agreeable presence. Hamlet, when Polonius bored him and took his leave, said that Polonius could not take anything (hat he would more gladly part with. Polonius gave Hamlet true pleasure by "making himself scarce." T>oubt less when the old man returned Ham let was rested and refreshed and men tally prepared to welcome him The agreeable are those who know when to go as well as when to stay. Human nature demands occasional *e elusion. The restorative effect of religious retreats, for those who have the temperament they satisfy, is due to the recognized fact that to dwell forever In a crowd Is to risk the very perdition of the soul. Strong. In deed. is he who can stand being for ever in the thick or the throng or living always in the midst of a small group. An occasional division Is good, even for the most loving of famllljs When the members ars re united. they gpe fonder than ever for the absence. Being agreeable, therefore, is a mat ter of suppression, as much as it Is of expression. Some of the finest spirits are they who contentedly ahide in shsdows. not competing for a bril limit place in the sun. but waiting to be Invited like him who takes hi* Defiantly Clever Whites A Challenge in Beauty and Value *6 to *8 White shoes will retain their supremacy with the sports and afternoon costume.

Thrift on Wheels, from the Oneids Watchman. A contemporary says that a Ford owner installed a new-fangled car bureter that was guaranteed to save 20 per cent on fuel. Then he put in a special spark plug that was guaran teed to save 20 per cent. He khf'n added an intake superheater that was also guaranteed to stive 20 per cent. He then put in a patented rear axle that was likewise guaranteed to save 20 per cent, and adopted a new syn thetic lubricant guaranteed to save 20 per cent of the fuel. He Anally put on high pressure "cords." that prom ised a 20 per cent saving. Now' with fuel economy of 120 per cent the owner has to stop every hundred miles and bail out the gas tank to keep it from running over. What have you heard? Broadcasting Church Services. From the New York Poet. Radio broadcasting of church serv ices has given rise to some interesting views as to the efficacy of this means of appeal to the spiritual conscious ness. Cardinal Dubois, archbishop of Paris, finds "wireless most interesting, but broadcast sermons cannot be ex pected to convert any one. Wireless is too dry and too cold to have an ef fect. Personal magnetism is lacking. A speaker conquers his audience by the eyes, gestures, intonation, per sonality.” How far is conversion in the sense here implied brought about by an appeal to one's emotions or to one's reason? Some persons might be reached by a mere study of the truth and beauty of divine teachings. Oth ers "hit the trail" at Billy Sunday's meetings, this evangelist finding a fruitful field that is barren to glean ers not so strenuous or or less mag netic powers of persuasion. Might not still others get something out of the radio? Opinion among leaders of the church is sharply divided as to the value of radio in religious activities. Some assert that it is keeping away from the pews many people who. pre ferring the armchair esse and quiet of their own homes, elect to "listen in” rather than exert themselves to attend Sunday services in person, let reports from authoritative sources show that broadcast sermons are growing in popularity. An increasing i number of ministers are arranging for wireless service from their pulpits.1 Abe Martin IPXMBE^ We used t' feel sorry fer th’ word “ruthless” when it wuz so over worked, but how in th’ world th’ word “service” manages t’ hold up under th’ strain gits us.

Almighty God, our Heavenly Fath er, we thank Thee for the way of ap proach to Thyself through the rent veil of the flesh of Jesus Christ, our I-ord: for the efficacy of His most precious blood, which cleanseth from all sin; for the promise of help through the Holy Spirit, when we know not what we should pray for: for the assurance that Thou heare.** us, and dost delight to answer our prayers when they are in accord with Thy Holy Will. We bless Thee for Thine unspeakable Gift, for the match less expression of Thy lot# in the sac rifice of Christ, and for the grace so freely bestowed upon the sinful sons of men. Accept the homage of o,ir hearts, the surrender of our wills, the consecration of our powers, and help us in ali circumstances to be (rue to Thee. Deliver us in the time of temptation. Keep cur feet so that ocr steps may not slide, and help us not to sin against Thee.
