Most public men in this day succumb to the temptation of saying only those things which they believe will prove popular with the particular au dience that is before them. President Harding has shown the strength of the faith that is in him by his two speeches in Missouri. In choosing St. Louis as the spot from which to advocate the world court, he met Senator Reed on his own grounds—Reed, who is adamant against any recognition of Europe. Governor Hyde of Missouri, though a republican, is every bit as much opposed to the world court as is the democratic senator, and has threatened a revolt against the Harding leadership. This was indeed the very place for the president to meet the issue courageously, and so he did, making an excellent case for a worthy idea. With the same hardihood, upon reaching Kansas City, which has been the storm center of opposi tion to the proposed regional consolidation of rail roads, Mr. Harding brought up that subject. There is throughout the middlewest a considerable volume of objection to this plan, as there is to the whole spirit of the Esch-Cummins law. We believe the president is on the wrong track in the matter of the railroads, and that he has a poor adviser in Senator Cummins, but, nevertheless, the frank way in which he discussed his views must win admira tion. What the middlewest is determined on is rail road competition, not consolidation. When Mr. Har ding urges combination into a small number of sys tems, ‘‘under rigorous government supervision,” he is not speaking the western language. Out here the people have lost faith in the ability and judg ment of regulatory bodies. They would rather see the railroads freed from some of the governmental restraints than loaded with a new set, however “rigorous.” There is, however, a number of points on which the ideas of the president and of the west agree. He shows a complete realization of the fact that freight rates are too high, and when he urges fur ther railroad combination it is because he believes that by such arrangement rates could be reduced and service improved. When the people think back to the car shortages of the harvest season and the congestion of coal shipments in winter they realize the truth of his statement that the losses in indus dustry due to insufficient transportation facilities equal the total amount of the federal tax bill. The problem of railroad rates and service, he asserts, must be solved at the next session of con gress or transportation facilities must eventually be pooled under government ownership, the latter a contingency that he hopes America will forever es cape. He gives a neat turn to this thought by say ing that he “would rather solve a difficulty than em brace a danger.” His consideration of the problem of labor troubles in transportation is equally force ful. The people, he declares, can not hope for com pliance with the decisions of the Railway Labor board on the part of employes as long as the de cisions are ignored by the railroad managers. It is not his belief that men can be compelled by law to refrain from striking, but it his belief that indus trial peace will come when both employers and em ployes place their confidence in the fairness of the tribunal of conciliation. It is a tremendous problem with which President Harding is grappling. In the settlement of these questions he would be the last to deny the right of the people to their own ideas, just as the people now are giving his their respectful attention. He recognizes the fact that agriculture is hampered by high transportation rates, and is casting about for a way in which these can be reduced without in juring the profits of investors or adding to the dif ficulty of increasing equipment and making ex tensions. His treatment of the whole subject is broad enough to stimulate public thought without adding to the heat which is usually developed when the sub ject of the railroads is brought into debate. Calm and thoughtful action will be required of the next congress in handling the problem of the railroads, but President Harding need not be alarmed if both the Esch-Cummins act and the plan for consolidation are rejected. REINSTATE TRAPP AND DUNN. Public disapproval has been stirred by the dis missal of the head of the city's morals squad and one of Ijis assistants. In condemning these men for carrying out a raid ordered by Police Commissioner Butler an injustice has been done whose effects are far reaching and not confined merely to the two offi cers. Only by reinstatement of Officers Trapp and Dunn can the evil effects of this action be avoided. Unless the police protection of Omahp is to be completely demoralized there must be some one at its head with complete authority, to whom the force can look for guidance and barking. An essential element in a well organized police, system is dis cipline. The men must obey orders and have assur t ance that they will not be penalized for their obe dience. Such loyalty is not to he had through the action of the five city commissioners whose vote has dis charged Trapp and Uunn. At the least they have made every officer feel that his job is insecure. At the worst they have encouraged insubordination and wrecked discipline. In demanding the reinstatement of the two dis missed men it is not necessary to condone any mis take of policy or violation of legal principle. If there was any error in the manner of making this raid, It was not the police who were at fault, but the police commissioner. If the majority of the city council is convinced that Police Commissioner Butler is derelict, then the correct thing for them to do is to remove him, not to strike at his subordinates and wreck the force. Many good citizens are expressing their disap proval of the course adopted at the city hall. The proper thing, the decent thing, and the popular thing would be the restoration of the dismissed officers to their positions. That done, if Mayor Pahlman and his associates feel themselves warranted, let them take action against the police commissioner himself. What tl# people of Omaha want is an efficient force. i IRA SANKEY’S NEST EGG. Of all the evangelistic singers, none ever seemed to arouse the enthusiasm as did Ira David Sankey. His own hymn, ‘‘The Ninety and Nine,” hands down to our time something of his fervor and melody, which helped to make the name of “Moody and Sankey” famous throughout the world. He never sought to accumulate money, and it is perhaps as a result of his lack of financial sense that only this week, fifteen years after his death, it has been discovered that he left a deposit of $7,250 in a bank in Brooklyn. His widow is dead, and his twj sons. The only remaining descendant is a granddaughter who is now engaged in Bible work at the Moody institute in Northfield, Mass. Sankey was a great figure in the religious life of two decades. It seems strange indeed that it was not until the bank had to advertise its sleeping accounts that this nest egg was found. Perhaps the singer had placed it there for some private pur pose whose nature he had never divulged. How ever, it could scarcely be devoted to a better cause, or one more in keeping with Mr. Sankey’s nature than to help his descendant in her religious work, at the very institution which bears the name of his team-mate, Dwight L. Jioody. ITALY CARES FOR ITS OWN. / The Italian peasant who cooked his dinner, (pre sumably macaroni) on the lava from Mount Etna was making the most of his adversity. Sad though the devastation of the fruitful fields of Sicily is, yet this picture of a farm laborer cutting a hole in the crust of the molten stream to boil his water adds a touch of humor to the calamity. The impression is given also that these people are not conquered by misfortune. That (in the language of the after-dinner speak ers) reminds us of the story of a Missouri farmer who was indicted for working on Sunday. Instead of trying to evade the charge, he had his four sons summoned as witnesses against him. He was fined $6. Inasmuch as the mileage allowance and fees of his sons amounted to $1.00, the family cleared $5.40 on the transaction. There is, however, no compensation for the mis fortune that has befallen those Italians. They do ont require a volcanic eruption every time they wish to cook dinner. What is to be admired is the spirit in which they are meeting their adversity. Though America always stands ready to aid the afflicted, in whatever part of the world, and though in thg past it has provided relief for this volcanic region, yet it is pleasant to read that Premier Mussolini an nounces that no outside relief will be required now. This spirit of self-reliance and self-help is truly re freshing. A HORNY-HANDED KING. King Boris of Bulgaria may be a czar by birth, but he talks like a real American citizen. When they suggested to him that he might lose his present job, which is not exactly the most pleasant on earth, seeing it carries with it the privilege of being tar get for any enthusiast on the other side who may want to do a little job of assassinating, he said in effect: “I should worry!” If cut off the public payroll of his native coun try, Boris simply would hop to America and look up a job. He shows his good judgment in his reso lution, as well as his knowledge of working condi tions and wage scales in what follows. He first will try for a job running a locomotive on some of the railroads. If that fails, he will go out as a racing automobile driver. Should he miss connections here, he will try to connect with some educational institution as a professor. We congratulate the young ruler on his proposal to come to America, where every citizen is a sov ereign. Also on his choice of occupations. He yet has no moving picture field in view, and may be assured in advance that he will find little trouble in getting a job at Hollywood, for any manager would esteem himself lucky to be able to announce to the public a film in which a real king played the leading role. Boris need not worry about making a living. Ho is young, full of courage and high spirits, and ap parently has good sense. Such a man has every op portunity for getting ahead in the world. He jnay not be tsar of a kingdom such as Bulgaria, but he can be hip own boss, and that is as much as any body has a right to expect in this world. Dr. George Washington Carver of Tuskeegee institute, who developed 1R5 by-products of the pea nut and 155 of the sweet potato provides an example of the benefactions of science. He furnishes also an example of the services that can be and are ren dered by some of our negro citizens. He has just beeen awarded the Springarn medal for the most distinguished service by an American citizen of African descent. Certainly President Harding’s speeches will stand radio transmission.

Omaha.—To the editor oof The Omaha Bee: Prominent men in a number of big cities are discussing the feasibility of projecting exposi tions. Philadelphia lias got further along with the promotion work than .any other city. Portland. Ore., has appointed a large committee which has not. made much progress. Last year Denver did more or less pre liminary work, but has not yet made a definite program. One or two cities of the south are agitating for expos! tions. What do these signs of the times portend? Do they mean that leading men in various cities feel the urge to speed up the industrial progress of the city? Do they all concur in the belief that an exposition, if properly put on, is of very great benefit to a city? In this connection it may be noted that Philadelphia had an exposition In 1876 which is a part of the history of that city. Its people now feel the time has come to put on another. Port land only a few years ago had a splendid exposition, which was so beneficial to the city that the people suggested to its leading men that an other exposition would be equally help ful. Omaha in 1898 built an exposition which proved to be a great financial success and which gave real impetus to the business and Industry of our city. In the public library there is an Illustrated history of the exposi tion, In which may be found a num ber of interviews by leading men (page 315) who express positive opinions as to the unprecedented benefits which the Trans-Mississippi exposition con ferred upon the city. These opinions by men, competent to discuss the sub ject, leave no doubt that the Omaha exposition marked a pew era In the commercial and industrial growth of Omaha. The question is: Could the ex traordlnary success attained be re peated? JAMES B. HAYNES. Prison for Bootleggers. Washington.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Your Saturday's issue carefully perused. I find that this column contains a very interesting and Instructive letter from "Naci rema." He admits that the past at tempts to solve the liquor problem by the dispensary and government own ership routes had failed. This is real ly the only Idea I had space to an swer in my reply to his previous let ter. I heartily agree with him when he suggests that previous failures to solve this problem should not deter us. and that light fines do not d.s courage the bootlegger. All prohibi tion legislation shoud read hereafter "lines and Imprisonment." He fears that ten years of prohibi tion will give the bootleggers ample time to retire upon the profits made There has been a great deal of news paper rot on bootleggers' profits. 1 find by personal investigation here that nine out of teh of them are not even earning a decent living. Those that are making money are soon caught by federal sleuths now trailing them "day by day." The federal pro hibition enforcement machinery has been greatly Improved the past six months. President Harding's out spoken declaration has "put the fear of God” into the hearts of many, who are voluntarily giving up their ne fartous business They are now find Ing the "big bootleggers," confiscating their car« every day. and righteous Judges, wearying of numerous cases brought before them upon second of f* nses. are no longer lenient Even the drinkers are repenting, aa they find their health Impaired by buying bootleg decoctions, and many of them have ceased drinking altogether and are informing upon bootleggers as a matter of self preservation. *Naotrema" Is correct. Fines should he quadrupled, and coupled with long Jail sentences Wherever this Is tried. prohibition Is s huge success, rndlana fs an example of this. Re nicmhsr what happened to Gary of flflals who refused to co-operate tn rmhohlltlon enforcement? "They're In the jail house now." and will be for a term of years. As a result. In diana Is already as "dry" as Kansas The moral from this Is surely clear , NEBRASKAN*. A Farm Leader on Orderly Marketing. Lincoln —To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: I think you will read ily appreciate that orderly marketing of live stock is going to be much more difficult than marketing oranges and potatoes. However. I believe that the plan outlined by the committee of ftf teen offers a possibility. As I see it. there should he organ ized local shipping associations, prefer ally on a county unit basis, with a competent county manager, or there should l»e a paid county farm bureau secretary, who will direct co operative marketing work and who will look after the live stork Interest® in coun ties where shipping associations are not advisable. There should be rn. operative commission houses on all of the open markets and they should receive f; wd to * per coni’ of the 'dtal Umiprrnsnt* The managsjr of (he shipping associations and of the ccfllminslon house would supply the Nation tl Producers* organization with Information as to the Immediate. avaihiMe supply and probable dates of shipment. The National Producers' organization should secure and inter pret statistics ns to general cogdplon* throughout the would a^Vegards nan l ers of live stock. together with proh able demands, based upon the buying power of the people. These statis tic* and interpretations should be fur nished to the commission houses and to the local shipping* associations with such suggestions as they deem advls able relative to Increasing or decreiis ing live stock production They should also furnish figure* nnd suggestions ufon whlrh local shipping association* might base their operations for the immediate future Some people might be induced to ship a little hit earlier if their stork we* finished, others might be advised to bold ti little longer, the idea, of course, being to prevent gluts and consequent violent market Ing fluctuations.

At the same time he was an ardent supporter of Presi dent Grant, holding staunchly to his support at a time when Nebraska was swinging In another direction. It is therefore interesting to read one of his earlv articles, especially as It had some bearing on local as well ns na tional politics of the day. On March 12, 1872. he published this editorial _. "CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.” "The senate, after a very interest ing debate between Messrs. Trumbull, Morton and Carpenter upon an amend ment appropriating |50,000 to carry out the proposed civil service reforms, passed the amendment by a vote of 25 to 21. Messrs. Morton, Edmunds. Nye and Sherman of the ultraadmin istratlon senators voting for the amendment, while Caldwell, Pomeroy, Harlan, Hitchcock, Chandler and oth ers voted against the measure. Messrs. Sumner and Tipton were absent. "This division among the warmest supporters of the administration, upon a measure recommended in the presi dent's last message. Is certainly a rather singular anomaly. It Is no doubt true that unless the adminis tration enters warmly and earnestly into the spirit of civil service reform, this appropriation may be squandered in futile and abortive attempts. If civil servllce reform is to be Judged from the standpoint of the Omaha pos tal service, It Is unquestionably a huge mockery and farce. We fall to comprehend, however, why Messrs. Chandler, Caldwell. Hitchcock and Pomeroy are unwilling to trust the administration with carrying out Its own designs. It can hardly interfori with their own recommendations, since they surely can find some capa ble and honorable men among their personal friends to fill offices disgraced by corrupt or imbecile officials. They would hardly desire to replace one scallawag by recommending another At all events. It seems to us they should have cheerfully trusted the ad ministration with the experiment, since it has voluntarily assumed to bear the burden of Its Ignominious failure, and Intends to claim the credit for its brilliant success as to production or distribution I be lieve that the remedy lies In co-oper ative effort by the farmers. In ptiUsng their product on the market as the market needs It. In other words, or derly marketing. I have never believed In restriction of production in the sense that term Is usually used, but 1 believe the farmer shoud treat his vocation as a business and study It as a business and keep cost records of nil of the various activities of his f irm and to grow only such crops as are return ing a profit. True, some years one crop is returning a profit and another year returning an Irish dividend. But over a period of years a system of I cost accounting should be made to give a fair idea of what crops should consistently give a profit. I believe that America can be made more self-contained In the way of products from the soil, can Import less and produce a greater variety anil Ido away with the surplus and put a crop on the market In an orderly fashion. I have no faith In the demand for gieatcr production or for a back to thefarm movement We are produc ing a surplus and that surplus is beat ing down the price on our home mar ket. Wo should produce more eco nomically. enough for our own needs, and distribute that crop co operatively I to the market as the market wants It. We can not get away from the old law of supply and demand, hut I think we can handle the supply In a much better way than we are doing at [this time. H. D. LUTE. In a Bad Fix.

' “From State and Nation” —Editorials from Other Newspapers— Remnant of the Great Iowa Prairie. From the Dee Moines Cepttsl. To the traveler along the highways, or to the aviator with his vastly ex tended Held of vision, Iowa presents a beautiful picture during the summer months. Where on all the face of the globe is there to be found a more de lightful panorama than the gently rolling farm lands of Iowa, checkered with fields of contrasting colors? En hancing the charm of the picture are meandering streams, hazy blue timber lines along the horizon and farm steads half hidden in a setting of trees. Yet in many ways this glorious pic ture is shaped and colored by the work of human hands; it is not the Iowa that greeted the pioneers as they rolled along her hills and through her valleys in prairie schooners. The Master Painter of the universe must have selected Iowa as one of His real triumphs. In Its natural state the Iowa country was the realization of all the dreams of courageous families In search of new hordes and new opportunities. The Iowa prairie was luxuriant In Its growth of native grasses and wild flowers. There are many thousands of Iowans at the present time who know nothing of the Iowa prairie, except through hooks or the stories of old settlers. Yet here and there. In va rious parts of the stale, are to be found a few surviving remnants of the great Iowa prairie. In pursuit of Its purpose to assist In preserving all of the natural beauty of Iowa, the Des Moines Garden club made an excursion Monday afternoon to a field never touched by the plow— producing its grosses and its flowers just as it has been producing them through uncounted centuries. Virgin Iowa prairie was found on the Bra zelton farm, one mile east of An keny. Dr. L. H. Pammel, professor of botany at Iowa State college and a pioneer legder In the cause of con servation. conducted the tour, naming and telling the stories dT the many na tive plants. For art who followed Dr. Pammel through that field It was a great adventure. A Duel of Partisans. From the Washington Star. The chairmen, respectively, of the democratic and republican national committees are carrying on a series of duels these days in most approved partisan manner, eaeh choosing his own weapons, or rather subjects, best to suit the purpose. It is a merry war. and one imagines the party fol lowers of the two leaders crying. A hit, a palpable hit,” as their cham pions make what they consider telling thrusts, nr which appeal to their par tisan fancy. Simultaneously, comes statements from the two radical chairmen. Juflge Hull of the decoeratk committee takes sugar in his'n; ' that is to say. he prefers the high cost of sugar as his topic for animadversion. He puts the responsibility for their profiteering In prices upon President Harding s re fusal to cause a 50 per cent reduc tion in the sugar tait.T. through the power conferred upon him by the flexible clause" of the tariff law. He “feks to draw connection between the campaign contribution* "of these su gar gougers" to the republican cam paign fund in 19?0, and asserts that "special privilege, at present en throned at Washington, can only he overthrown and driven out by a po litical revolution in 192-t. which I con fidently predict”. Chairman Adams of the republican national committee finds the demo cratic national organjp-etlnn seemingly embarrassed by the Deague of Na tlon.< Issue, and rises to ask. ' Where does the democratic national org.»o,za tion hue up in the Dcague of Nations fight?

From the Nebraska City Press. You who "kick" about Nebraska taxes should go to Dos Angeles where they have recently Issued a few more millions In bonds for public Improve ments. Improvements to be enjoyed by the tourists who leave the "tax-rid den" counties of Iowa and Nebraska to live In southern California, where, apparently, there are no tax assessors, no tax collectors, no tax payments— nothing hut horseshoe pitching con tests, real estate agents and Holly wood—please don't forget Hollywood xnd Its saintly atmosphere. A pros pectus of a certain California city, slightly larger than Nebraska City, published and distributed by the Chamber of Commerce, has much to say about the organges, lemons, sun shine, chicken ranches, mountains, paved roads and aesthetic Influence, but It doesn’t say a word about taxes Investigation on our part shows, how ever. that this particular city's tax rate is just 42 per cent higher than Nebraska City's. The tax rate of the county In which this lovely, heavenly spot Is situated Is 100 per cent greater than Otoe county's. Complain about your taxes here in Nebraska and be a knocker; go to southern California and pay taxes "what Is” taxes—and be a booster! The Family Doctor. From tha New Tork Tribune. it is pleasant to near a physician wuh a specialty praise tne old fash Ioned tarnily doctor, the "general practitioner," who has largely given way in the city to the specialist, but in the country is, as ever, the present help in time of trouble. For him there are gratitude and affection that : needs no analysis. He deserves all the good things Dr. Frandwood K. i Williams said of him at the state med- i ical convention. He may be old fash- i Ioned. but he is as able a psychologist ] as is the most modern, in the view 1 of Dr. Williams, medical director of i the National Committee for Mental Hygiene. The best remedy in his , medicine chest is • common sense, which, tactfully applied, is a famous , way of mental healing. His best dose is optimism. That is what all four . patients out of five need, if Dr. Wil Hams is right in his diagnosis. Only , the fifth patient needs the specialist, and the family doctor In general may ] be relied upon to take such cases to , consultation. There is no danger of disparaging the skill and knowledge of the physicians and surgeons who are masters in specific fields, but It is good to be assured that the family doctor, until lately the backbone of the profession, is by no meana obso- < lete.
