Then its future will take i the course of the book told of in the Apocalypse —it may become very bitter in the process of diges tion. If surface indications are worth anything, this reems to be going on just now in the American Legion. Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion pugilist 'f the world, is also target of considerable criticism from the Legionnaires because of his having sought a bomb proof job in a San Francisco navy yard during the war. Dempsey had lots of company, and was told with others that he was as truly winning the war as any of the young huskies who went to the front and wore tin hats. Those who only bat tled nt Camp Funston or Camp Cody, for example, are just as convinced as are those who trudged the highways of France that Dempsey's military record lacks something. But Dempsey has something else. One of the first and greatest mistakes made by the American Legion was to lend its name to prize fighting. Under the pretense of protecting and pro moting a worthy athleic sport, that of boxing, the professional pugilist secured the aid of the Ameri can Legion. In Montana, for example, a boxing contest can only be held under auspices of the Legion and half the proceeds must go to the coffers of the post promoting the event. This brings Demp sey into the calculation. The name of the world champion heavyweight is one to conjure with. It is good for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and so a Montana Legion post arranged for a “contest” in which Dempsey, the adored or condemned, as the case may be, was to be the chief figure. This action was rebuked and repudiated ’ by Commander Owsley, who held that the Legion should be above such mercenary con siderations. When the commander made his ap pearance at Great Falls, he found that empty scats for the first time greeted him at a banquet. Fol lowing his visit it developes that the state repre sentative of the Legion is unable to carry out his pledge to give Mr. Dempsey $100,000 in cash on Jifhe 15, for his share in the proceedings scheduled at Shelby, and so the complication comes in. All In all, this episode is another illustration of the difficulty in the way when one tries to com promise between principle and interest. HIGH BROWS AND THE HOME. Every once in a while somebody, acting on in sufficient or inaccurate information, bemoans the tact that the American home is on the down grade and no brakes set. When such a writer gets astride his hobby, he usually rides it hard. One of his pet ass-’r.ions is that education—that of the college or university kind—unfits the woman for marriage. That this is only an assertion and not a fact is pi oven by results, for college women do marry and rear families. Not such as would win a Roose veltian prize, perhaps, but large enough to ensure the future of the race. Moreover, inquiry gives color to the statement that the college girl looks forward to marriage as a desirable experience after school. The New York Times has collected and analyzed the replie| of 200 Vassar girls to a set of questions designed to draw out their plans after leaving school and enter ing on real life. Of these 141 flatly declared in favor of matrimony above all things, and only 11 stated outright they preferred a “career” to mar riage. The other 48 hope to combine the two. Last winter a more or less interesting debate was carried on as to whether a woman could have a career and a family, without definite result, al though the preponderance of testimony seemed to favor the affirmative. Many examples and personal experiences were brought forward to prove that a woman can rear a family and carry on in the busi ness or professional world at the same time. The maint point :s, however, that women who have been carefully and extensively educated do not look upon marriage as something to be avoided. A home and children is the high ambition of most of them, and this does not mean that they are not aware of their responsibilities of citizenship and civic duty. It simply proves that a woman is a woman* and that she is happiest when she is also a wife and mother. THE WONDER WORLD. In the Siarvelous world of childhood there are two seasons—school days and holidays. And with what joy is the passage being made from the one into the other. The doors of the class rooms have swung shut for the summer vacation, and high spirits are at the flood. Good intentions, too, fill the household. It is much like New Year's when big folk consider the opportunities of the future and resolve to fit them selves to seize it. Out in the kitchen little girls take up dish cloth and tea towel, firmly convinced that they will help mother with her taska “Every day, momsie.” Throughout the neighborhood the same sort of thing is going on. The boy next door is scrubbing the porch, and down the street a bigger lad is stealing a march on dad by cutting the grass. A little tsd is out picking up the papers that litter the foot of the terrace. There is a splendid earnestness about it all. Clear-eyed and expectant these boys and girls are looking into the future. There is, they feel, noth ing beyond their powers. Now perhaps they may be limited by lack of size or strength, but life for them is to come, eternal and lined with triumph. Indeed, one can scarcely imagine all the things that fill their budding minds. Their confidence, their willingness and their devotion to the ideals they have set up for themselves are full of pathos for the observer. For we all know that in a few days the same weaknesses that beset adults will icrve to turn these little ones from their ambitious arid enthusiastic course. Perhaps already a halt has beeeo called there on the lawn for a romp with the dog. Isn’t that the whistle of the neighbor bov calling sonny to steal off on n hike? And there Is sitter placing jacks instead of dusting down the stain! / GOVERNOR BRYAN’S ADJUSTABLE WRATH. C. C. McLeod of Stanton stands high as a banker and a citizen, but Governor Bryan is not warranted in publicly resenting the fact that the bankers of Group 3 did not include his name in the list of three nominations for the new guarantee fund com mission. There is no more room for political con troversy in the banking business than in the public schools. The complaint of the governor that those inter ested in electing certain men obtained proxies from absent bankers and voted them in one solid block for their choice is a piece of arrant hypocrisy. It can not be admitted that the voting of proxies is unfair. In fact, it is not to be believed that the governor would frown on proxies that were cast according to his taste. Proof of this is at hand in a letter sent out by one of Mr. Bryan’s temporary appointees in ad- | vance of the meeting of another bank group. This is the way the governor’s own choice solicited proxy votes from his fellow bankers: "When the blanks are received you will note that it Is necessary for your bank to authorize some one to cast the vote for the bank at the above election. It Is not necessary that it be some one in your bank, but If there Is no one of your organiza tion who will attend the election personally, you can authorize either the one you wish to vote for at the election, or anyone else, to cast the vote for you. Should you care to authorize me to cast your vote (In case you are not presentl. I assui e you It will be very pleasing to me. I will appreciate your support very much." This friend of the governor’s it is plain, not only solicited proxy votes, but volunteered to cast them for himself, (intil Mr. Bryan rises up in his ma jesty and denounces his own follower it can not be believed that he is sincere in his complaint against others. GENTLEMEN OF THE CITY COUNCIL: How much longer is the police department of Omaha to be made a joke by reason of the school boy tactics of the commissioner in charge and his associates in the city council? As to personal ambitions, quarrels or enmities of the commissioners the public cares little. When the bickerings of the men who are in control of the city’s business affairs become such as to in terfere with the orderly workings of government, then it is time for the people to sit up and take no tice. When six members of the commission vote to purchase a patrol wagon for police use, it be comes ridiculous for the police head to order* the arfiest of the salesman who delivers the car. The ordinary business of the police department is to give protection to life and property of the citizens, to see that laws and ordinances are ob-^ served and that good order is maintained. All mem bers of the community are concerned in this, and it should be the business of every member of the city government to contribute in some way to car rying out effectively the general purpose of the department. When Commissioner Dunn stepped out from under the police load a few weeks ago, the job was thrust upon Commissioner Butler. If this plan was merely “to give Dan a ride,” it has gone far enough. Factions are lined up on either side, but factional control is not good for a community. Especially is this true when applied to that function of govern ment which has to do with public safety. If Dan Butler is competent to manage the police force, he ought to have the co-operation of all the other commissioners. If he is not fit, he should be removed. Mr. Butler should not be permitted to let his personal likes and dislikes interfere writh the administration of his department, nor should he be hampered in the free exercise of his authority by the prejudices one way or the other of any other commissioner. Gentlemen of the city council: It is high time that the foolishness were cut out, and that you set about to give the City of Omaha what you prom ised when elected, good government efficiently ad ministered. We are not getting what you pledged. “Henry” found a neat little surprise prepared for him by the supreme court when he got back from his latest trip to Europe. However, he still insists the law is a good one, and that all it needs is a bit of fixing. The highest price of sugar was reached under n democratic tariff for revenue; the lowest under a republican protective tariff. That will require a bit of time /or explaining by the democratic public ity committee. It has been said that Britain’s wars were won on the football fields of Eton. It may be said with equal truth that America's wars were won in the vacant lot baseball grounds. All the captives of the Chinese bandits are now free, and no Krags were used to bring about the issue. Showing that even a Chinese bandit may be reached by kindness. The removal of “Bill” O’Brien will not increase the number of democratic fish, but it may tend to reveal the number of democratic "suckers." One way to get out of paying alimony is to be sentenced to the penitentiary, but probably payment will be cheaper. Some heartless wag will now suggest that Jack Dempsey taught Jess Willard how to dive. Mr. Borah clings fondly to the formats that what ever is is wrong. Will Mr. Harding be welcome in Omaha? What a question!

Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: The recent utterances of our president in his Decoration day uddress were fine and highly appre ciated by every honest citizen of the country. Mobilizing the wealth and citizenship of the nation along with the youth of our land and impressing every part of our great land, with the necessity of standing shoulder to shoulder while fighting the battles of the nation, would be an example that would stand before the world as a forward step in human co-operation and would shorten future wars. In fact, it would cause a lot of jingoism to pause and study the sit uation before urging the stepping for ward to the battle line. And we hope the next congress will put across a law on the statute books that will tower close beside the great Declaration of Independence and the emancipation proclamation. Univer sal enlistment of human life, human endeavor and all property during war would forever put 'a bar on graft of wartime opportunity. We farmers are interested in the proposition to mobilize our country's resources during the next war, but we would be vastly more Interested in a proposal at this time to compel present day Industry, present day re sources to contribute Its proportional share toward defraying the expenses of the past war. That address falls upon th« ear of the hard pressed farmer very much as would the prom Ise of a good dinner tomorrow fall upon the ear of a hungry boy. Congress left Washington just w hen the profiteer was tightening his cinch on the sugar sack, just when he was In the full tide of robbing a helpless public. Of course they put on an In vestigation, but Investigations, as we sometimes find in Nebraska, are planned, personneled and informed hy the people whofn they are supposed to Investigate., But congress struck and went home Had it been coal min ers or railroad men that quit the job, even If they had not had a va cation for five years, they would have been cenaured severely; the militia might have been called out. But congress went home to a needed rest and the profiteer holds his hands over every sugar bowl In America. Steel trusts, Implement trusts and various combines are advancing prices while wheat stands low ns the crop1 estimate falls swiftly. Hogs g0 down to prewar prices and seek lower levels At the beginning of the war T, along with hundreds of other speakers, was sent out to ask the farmer to l>r pa triottc and go on producing. [ was sent mimeographed letters telling me that if the farmer overproduced there would he a foreign demand at the close of the war. Anyway the government would lake care of the farmer It did take , are of the Implement and steel men. noth Ifig that went across was showed to come back and 3,000 manure spread ers rot on the fields of France, while on this side they are sold at fabulous prices Big trucks were smashed to scrap for fear they might come hack and l>e used in American Industry. The railroads got a "reasonable" guarantee that is still fn effect bv Practice if not hy statute. Financiers hasp worked the "liquid asset" stunt the crime of all the ages of financier ing. while congress and our president* have "struck." Thev hate given tia “relief huf |t came through the eastern financiers' management. Help and plana for help are put over hy appointing men who never farmed nor sre In aym path- with farming, and consequent ly fell by ! tip way. Millions are Iwjng spent In pork harrsl improvements In eastern wa terwavs and In New Tnrk harbor, and the greatest commercial nionopolv Is fastened upon us with a country of thousands of miles of seaboard, with scores of wonderful hartmrs, and one port holds the whole territory east of the Rocky mountains In It* thrall. It can tighten down on finance on cars, or on storage rapacity and flip tuste the price* of American prod uct* nt will. If that great address had carried a promise to open a southern seaboard port or two. to break monopoly, to suppress the sugar truat and jail the criminals, to forge a little righteous ness into the steel trust, to strengthen the Income and exceaa profits tax, to make that old solgan of the early ncnatitutional day* stand true. "Every man is horn frse and equal." then we would have a little more In lerest In It. We. as Americans, sre nat expect Ing any more wars for tis right now. huf we are expecting Internal frlc tton if congress and the president listen and admit more foreigners to get cheap labor and move so slow that foreign countries will recuperate and I Daily Prayer a|+h» H»'n* (hall praise The* —teotsh Heavenly Father, we thank Thee for the refreshing sleep of last night, for sparing us to see another day, for our loved ones, and for thin family altar, for the gift of Thy Hon.

Omaha.—To the Editor of The1 Omaha Bee: An article signed "Ne braskan," who is good enough to tell us that there is nothing new about government control of liquor. Who said anything about its being new or original? Neither is it new that South Carolina tried state regulation of liquor and made a failure of it. this was after that state had made a failure of state rights. Nor is it new that Russia should have some diffi culty in making regulation of liquor or anything else work smoothly, nor that Rome was not built In a day. nor that she did not long succeed as a re public, or that the Spartans did not continue tn communism. These failures do not prove that this government cannot succeed in an attempt at anything for the benefit of its people There is no stain on the name "Nebraskan." but what is the matter w-lth "American?" To ques tion our government's ability to do things is like retreating and leaving no one to receive a flag of truce. This kind of argument must be very com foriing and encouraging to the bool leggers mamifacturers-vendors - syndi cate. It is Just what they want, a term of 10 years. In which time they can make all the motley they wrant. It is so easv to pay the few- light fines, for they are as nothing as compared to paling license, rent, help and everything Incident to keeping a sa loon Nebraskan does not make a single suggestion of doing anything to chain the monster. He erldentlv does not think "there is anv stteh animal " Many people thought we could not go to the world w-gr, nor fight when we got there. Sonic people think fhev have killed the liquor traffic, hut It Is very much alive, and the constitution al enactments, so far as they go, are all right, but they need our sugges tions to make thsm effective, as the enforcement officers sre In position to rarry out the law as It Is now. and when n few more states slip some nngel must come with a great chain and hind the monster. NAUIREMA “From Slate and Nation” —Editorials from Other Newspapers Hog Prices? From tlie Drovers Journal-Stockman. Just at present the big question in the hog market seems to be; \\ hen Rill this big run of hogs begin to let up'.’ The trade had been prepared for a record breaking run of hogs this spring by reports from the coun try ol the large number of brood sows in all parts of the corn belt and tne unusual supply of thrifty ptgs every where. The corn crop of 11(22 was very large and the price of the grain was not high when this porcine army started in on it. As the weeks and months passed and the corn on the farms became absorbed in the feed lots, the price of the grain advanced until there was more money in the corn as a commercial commodity than in the form of pork. As a consequence of this condition the hogs have lieen and sre still being rushed to market and teceipts at all the western markets liuic been of the record breaking order, Ho far this year the seven leading western market points have received 4.000,000 more hogs than a year ago. It la no wonder that prices have declined to the lowest levels of the past 12 years. When will the big runs let up? and when will prices stop going down? These are the questions worrying hog growers these days. •It Is a noteworthy fact in market circles that when everybody seems to be bullish the prices begin to weaken and just when everybody has become bearish values show a tendency to ad vance. This is not due to manipula tion. it Is the Inevitable consequence of the operation of natural laws Pop ular sentiment forces the market out of balance and It seeks to right itself. There Is unquestionably an exag gerated idea of the supply of hogs in the country. It is true that in the corn belt the number of hogs is larger than usual, but it must be remem bered that in the east, in the south and in the.far west, hog supplies are below the average. The excessive supplies are all in the middlewest. It will not tie long until east, south any! west will be in the market for poro Instead of on the market with hogs. This angle of the situation will bear watching. Of course, the outstanding feature of the market is the unprecedented demand for fresh pork owing to the very favorable commercial conditions and the universal employment of labor at high wages. This has been largely responsible for the fact that th» hog market did not go all to pieces under tho excessive supplies The European absorption of lard and rough meats was also beyond expectation and helped sustain market values looking over the market situation in tiie light of alt condition* there xeems to be no good reason for hog growers to become panicky. It is rather a time f,.r them to sit steady in the boat If t)iere )s * grand rush to unload hoes at this time the market will certainly break further If. on the other hand, shippers will observe f and hold hark an far n» possible the enormous demand for meet will take csre of the situa tion and the hog market will respond Note the most successful bog grow »rs. They have hoes to sell when the market calls for them and when the '1-'» n't cal' for them they ’save no hogs for sale The Passing of Invective. From til* l/»m)on Tim** That invective, at it was once in political and personal controversy, is now dead Is a fact which we may remark without lamenting. It dle-f of "tif". lta strong language became weak frltm overuse, words which were once scorpions served at last to make their author ridiculous, and a cottse fluent mildness settled upon tumps lets and reviews.

Much of this change is for good, but it brings with it opposite dangers which Addison himself would have been quick to expose. To save words of invective from excessive use is to strengthen the language, put to live in refined fear of thefli is disastrously to weaken It. if, in writing history, we substitute a colorless impartiality for the manner of Giblton. it were bet ter to have clung to Giblton, faults and all. So man rail write his best If he is afraid of being laughed at. He must write the truth that is in him. and, if his vision is emphatic, so muat his writing be.

They are try ing an interesting, experiment which may Pe copied by other communities. It was because there was no doctor in the small community that they took this course. There are 204 mem bers of the bharon Health associa tion, and they pay dues at the rate of $15 a year. The doctor gets $250 a month and furnishes his own auto The association provides him with an office. Beyond the regular dues the members do not pay any extra fees for medtcai service, except in ob stetrical cases, cases more than six miles from town, and calls betweeu 10 o'clock at night and 5 o'clock in the morning.
