A few days ago President Harding sat on the »efct of a tractor and steered the machine, dragging a binder that cut a ten-footh swath, around 100 acres of wheat in Kansas. The feat is chronicled, because it was the president of the United States who achieved it. Such things are commonplace events in farming communities, and the world ac cepts them as such. How many realize that only a few years ago it would have been impossible that the president or anyone else could do such a thing? A woman has just died whose fortune came from the creation of the reaper. Mrs. Cyrus H. McCormick was married while yet her husband was striving to bring about to its best form the inven tion of his father, and make the cultivation of grain on a Wye scale possible. Without that invention, or some similar agency, the dire prophecy of Dr. Malthus, that the day would come when the world would no longer be able to feed its people, might have been realized. Raising wheat was a tedious, laborious process in the days of Malthus, and even up to the day of McCormick. The sickle had been succeeded by the cradle, but even that had not greatly extended the area of land a man might successfully plant and harvest. Even with the coming of the first refcper the solution of the problem was only ap proached, for a disproportional amount of man power was required to follow the machine, bind and shock the sheaves. McCormick ingenuity persisted, and the self binder came to break down the barriers and make the wheat fields of the middlewest possible. Malthus would rub his eyes today, and recast his theory completely. It has been pretty thoroughly dis credited, because of the inventions of the Mc Cormicks, whose machines have done more than anything else to enable mankind to feed on bread. The answer is that now we hear complaints of an oferproduction of wheat. " LETTING OFF STEAM. t . \ The reddest streak ever painted across the politi cal sky in America has just been smeared by a “con vention” at Chicago. In fact, nothing could be redder. One delegate from the Pacific coast an nounced himself as “red from the beginning,” and that “you can’t get too much red for me.” His sen timents avidently were shared by others, for the gath ering went to the limit. ■ One of the most impressive facts in connection with the affair is that it proves the very thing the delegates themselves deny, that under our govern ment there is complete freedom of political action. We have no intention of discussing the platform of the convention, for it holds its own antidote. We dq not believe that a great nation of God-fearing, liberty-loving, home-owning citizens, enjoying every rifcbt that goes with human freedom, will deliber ately forfeit any of those things by following this nsw party into the morass of bolshevism. But we do believe that even such men as the delegate who .'hjouted his redness should not be denied that op portunity. ’ Our government and its institutions are at all tifnes safe in the hands of the people. It “derives Its just powers from the consent of the governed,” e6d there always have been and always will be ■nlnorities who are not content with things as they ate. Only when one of those minorities, grows to be a majority can it enforee its will. If enough of the American people are ready to follow Ruthcn iierg, Foster anil their associates, no amount 6f talk ing will alter the fact. • Nor will any amount of talking undermine the foundations of America while the common sense of most holds sway. The surest way to lessen a dan gerous steam pressure is to allow the safety valve tq operate, and in this instance the radicals are sim ply letting off steam. TO DIG OUT WAR BY THE ROOTS. Peace is not a dove to be trapped by diplomats aod thrust into a gilded political cage. It languishes today because of the mistaken efforts of statesmen at the council table in Versailles. More hope than ia any consultation between'governments appears in such an international gathering as that now closing in San Francisco. Before wars can end, the peoples of the various nations must come to a more intimate understanding of each other. Great hope for that arises out of the First Wofld Conference on Educa tion at which educators from 60 nations met. Many things remain to be done before permanent peace between nations ran be assured. First of all the mind and heart of mankind must be purged. .Matesmen can’t do that; their concern is with the ex ternals of government. It is something the people must do for themselves. International meetings, whether of churchmen, educators, business men or labor, have a significance deeper and more promis ing than all the treaties ever written. The Chinese delegation at the conference of educators suggested the establishment and world-wide celebration of a “World Good Will day.” Such an institution, marked with songs, dramas and lectures designed for the occasion might indeed focus human thought on the common interests rather than the differences between races. Five proposals thus far favorably agreed upon in the San Francisco meeting are the formation of a world federation of educational associations, estab lishment of a world university, a world library ervi<r, an international exchange of students, and a world wide move against illiteracy. These are the outward aspects of the movement: it has much more within it than can be expressed in any definite set of resolu tions. Miss Chari Ormnnd Williams, field secretary of the Anieriean Educational ns-miat ion, wiu more to the poipt when »be said; “We have learned that the children of one nation do not hate the children of another nation unless they are tnuuht to do so. Vfe and the tcarhers of the world are resolved that henceforth we will refuse, forever, to furnish that sort of instruction.” Politicians cannot save the world, lmt hope lie-i m the people themselves. The ideal of n pence of justice and understanding has not been cultivated ns it should he. The folly and destruction of force, the wisdom arid benefit' of co npci.ilion, thee an texts for every schoolroom on the globe. BALANCE IN INDUSTRY. This would not be much of a country if every one worked twelve hours a day. Citizens would be too dog-tired to pay any attention to their govern ment, or even to enjoy life. It is perhaps true that production might be, increased, but people would not have the time or ambition to make use of the goods they turned out. President Harding rightly regards the pledge of the Pennsylvania steel plants to eliminate the twelve-hour day as a victory for humanity and good citizenship. The concession, wrung from the steel corpora tion after years of public criticism, is contingent on the disappearance of the labor shortage which is now said to exist. It is possible, however, that a betterment of working conditions in these plants would reveal the presence of more than enough labor to install the shorter shifts. It is a notorious fact that in the coal fields close to the steel dis trict there are more men than arc needed to carry on mining operations. If some of them could be attracted into other lines of work there would be a net gain for all. On the one hand is a group of men working twelve hours a day. Near by is another group idle throughout the summer because of the lack of coal orders in advance of winter. As our economic life becomes better adjusted such disparities as these will disappear. In the western steel mills of the Colorado Iron and Fuel company, since the eight-hour day was es tablished and living conditions improved, there has been no shortage of labor. In the words of the manager, J. F. Welborn: “Our operating officials have frequently expressed the belief that this con dition is due, in large part at least, to adoption of the eight-hour shift.” STOCK SHOWS FOR OMAHA In such a land, with a surplus of hay and corn at hand, there should be more dairying. Yet statistics show that there are fewer dairy cows in Nebraska today than there were ten years ago. Doubtless the wartime need for grain, which induced many farm ers to plow up their pastures, resulted in the reduc tion of herds. It may be expected that as agricul ture seeks a basis of readjustment, the cow will come back. With the idea of encouraging the extenson of the dairy industry the agricultural committee of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce has been looking into the possibility of holding a dairy show in this city. It finds that although there are no facilities for such an exhibition this year, by the fall of 1924 Ak-Sar Ben field will be in shape to house one. Inasmuch as Omaha is the greatest center for butter produc tion in the world, it would be particularly fitting that a dairy show should be held here. In ihe course of time, it is announced, Ak-Sar Ben field will be fitted with barns for cattle, hogs 4nd sheep at which annual exhibitions can he given. Then there will be no reason why Omaha could not entertain the National Dairy show as well as fine stock shows of all sorts. There need be no rivalry with the state fair in this, for the field of each is different. There is much of a constructive nature that the business men of Omaha can do to encourage agriculture, and one of the first moves when condi tions permit should be a bang-up dairy display that would not only encourage the production of more milk, butter and cheese in Nebraska, but would also develop demand for the products. HEALTHY AND WISE. “*'his is the time of year when the doctors are supposed to take a vacation,” said a medicine man one morning this week, “yet we are about as busy as ever. No epidemic of any kind exists, but people ar sick, just the same.” He gave some of the rea sons, such as over-eating, unwise exposure, minor accidents and the like. None of them serious, but all adding to the general problem. Sickness is costly. Not only does it involve fees to the doctors, bills at the drug store, frequently hospital expenses and the hire of nurses, but it shuts off the earning capacity of the victim. His pay stops when he is land up, and careful estimates show that at least $900,000,000 a year in wages is lost in this country through sickness that might be prevented or avoided. Men do not get sick for the fun of it, nor to get a vacation; yet in a great many cases it might seem they had some such notion in their heads. They take foolish, unnecessary chances; they recklessly expose themselves, neglect ordinary precautions, and generally treat their bodies after a fashion they would never think of handling their machines. The mechanism of the human body is wonderful, care fully adjusted, and capable of resisting a lot of mis use and actual abuse, but in time it gives way. Na ture is usually patient, but a more inexorable credi tor never pursued a debtor. ■ Good health is a priceless possession, and those who have it should cherish it accordingly. Its preservation is a matter for each individual, and each should be eager to observe the simple laws that insure well being. Preventible waste is rosting this country many hundreds of millions each year, a tribute to carelessness which is no credit to the nation. The way out is in being careful, and this can be done without marring any pleasure or interfering with any duty. Don’t take a ehuncc on getting sick by doing something you know you shouldn’t. Osear Underwood is right, perhaps, when he says the world court would not solve Europe’s present problems. It was not expected to, hut the League of Nations is equally powerless in this regard. For what reason does Mr. Br.van think it neces sary to make his candidacy for the presidency for mal? Hasn’t it been accepted as a matter of course for lo, these many years?

There is talk in New York about making Bill Hayward governor. Ne braskans qnd Nebraska City are in terested in any news that comes oul of the metropolis concerning a former resident whose chief sin just at pres ent is that he doesn’t visit us often enough. Bill Hayward, who came out of the west and now holds the most responsible job the federal govern ment has to offer in New York, would make the empire state a good gover nor. He has those qualities, by the way, which are lacking in the present incumbent, a chief executive who is sc old-fashioned, to speak charitably, that he p*is his hopes on the wornout doctrine of nullification. Hayward’s career has been carefully' observed by his former neighbors. They realized 20 years ago that he would eventually hurst through to the top of the yeast. They would not he surprised to see him elected governor of the largest state in the union. They would not be surprised to see him eventually have a, speaking acquaintance with the White House. Hairpins Versus Patriotism. From the Wyoming State Tribune. Occasionally a person sees some thing that makes him wonder if. as is often boasted, the American people are really the salt of th earth and the finest and most intelligent to be found anywhere. A staff member of the State Tribune Leader, in Denver the other day. drove to the top of Lookout muntain and saw Buffalo Bill's grave for the first time. He was not favorably Im pressed. In the first place, there was not the slightest reason, outside of a purely commercial and selfish one, for giving the body its final resting place near Denver. Colonel Cody wa» not a resi dent of Colorado. Nearly all of his Interests were at North Platte, Neb . and at the Wyoming town that bears his name. But the Colorado capital is of the type that knows what it wants and how to get it. and in this instance it lived up to its reputation. The mere fact that the famous fron tiersman is buried near by is worth many thousands annually to those who profit from the tourtst traffic. In the second place, the grave Is anything hut a hallowed spot. The chief attraction is a museum abound ing In such signs as ’’The cigar that Buffalo Bill smoked: two for 25 cents,” and offering all manner of souvenirs to those that are willing to pay the price. Dancing to jazz music within a few feet of the sepulcher is the main diversion. But the near unbelievable part of it is the custom of tourists and others in making •’sacrifices" on the "altar." Above the casket is a concrete floor, over this a wire screen, and around It an iron fence. Into this enclosure, and directly upon the grave, women cast their hairpin^and men cast j en nies. nickels, dime* and quarters. Some fool, with an eye for the un usual and bizarre rather than for the beautiful and sentimental, has started the insane story that hntrplns let loose in such fashion v ill find hus bands for the owners and that the money will enable the donors to see Colonel Cody’s sou! In heaven. Buffalo Bill was only human He had his faults, as have nil the rest of us. But he was the embodiment of the spirit of the old west, and ns such he should have proper and titling recognition. Most eer'.ainlv he de served no such fate as -his The l nsophisticated Fast. Frem the Wirhtta Beacon. There really is some room for argu ment as to what constitutes sophis tication. The New Yorker, who amusedly con templates the plainsman who for the first time sees the Woolworth building or the yelling, growling subWHy trains, or the gaudy Follies show, naturally believes that for himself the book of life has been read and closed -that there Is nothing else much worth while to know or experience. He does not stop to think that the most ob vmus and fundamental facts of ex istence are. after all. unfamiliar and strange to himself. Bread is the staff of life ’Wheat Is the most important single product of commerce And what does the sophis ticated New Yorker know about wheat? The other day when President Harding dramatized the importance of the wheat farmer by guiding a tractor and hinder around a field near Hutchinson. Kan., he was followed by a large crowd of newspaper men. cinema men and publicists. They sensed that something big and sig nlflrant was taking place, even If there was something of the stagy about tlte program. The deeper f<rt was that the i hief executive was coming Into close contact with the fundamental economic facts of the na tion when he entered into the spirit of the wheat harvest. Their naive remarks were Jus! as funny to the Kansas natives as those of the iuralist who first strikes Broad way Pet-saps very few Kansans act as frankly amazed or botrnv ns much innocent wonder In New York n« some of tho easterners did in that wheat field The correspondent of the New York Times writes a very entertaining nr. count ef what took place there ‘ Mr, Harding started to make good Ills promise to stack wheat," savs the writer. He left behind him "neatly laid piles of cut wheat " we ate told elsewhere, "Toward the end of the trip the canvas '-Inga of the machine got Into trouble." continues the correspondent, and lie tells how the/ were straight ened out. Out of tills confused terminology one gets the impression that the bar V'-ater was a sort of nn airplane and that the neatly laid piles of "cut wheal” were somewhat miraculously mad" Into stacks, which, ns the Kan sail knows, are large piles I . or 20 feet high The net result of this put of the story was less Intelligible and satis f: Ctory to the »ra<b r * h a i; W< (ltd la the account of an average 'Ovmrold A convention was held In Omaha In May 187tf, to select delegates to the republican state convention, called to meet at Fremont on the 23d of the month. Delegates selected were ap proved by Mr Rosewater, but he had some comment to make on methods, which moved hirn to write. THE REPIBUCAN CONVENTION. "Never has Douglas county witness ed a more disgraceful scene than was enacted at the republican county con vention by the political faction under a leadership determined to rule or ruin, and convinced that they would he in the minority upon a fair vote, these political desperadoes had enter ed into a conspiracy to capture the or ganization of the convention at all hazards. "An Infamous scoundrel who left Cheyenne at one time to escape the halter, assumed the role of chief spokesman, when he had not the re motest right to a place in the conven tion. Every effort to submit the ques tion of organization to the votes of the convention by ballot was con temptuously rejected, and finally the mob element withdrew from the con vention to the United States postoffieg building to complete their farcical job of legalizing their pretended election of delegates to the state convention.

The average Kansan gives unre served praise and admiration to New York—its magnificent business fabric aand its advancement in culture, science, architecture and other fields of activity. He is not as ignorant con cerning these things as most New Yorkers suppose. The one-way bar riers of provincialism are erected from the east and not from the broad hori zoned west. One can conceive that (lies New Y’orker might say that the business of wheat harvesting and farming in general is not of sufficient importance to warrant serious attention by the metropolitan press. Which, of course, is about as near 100 per cent provincialism as that of the Arkansas hill hilly who has not yet heard how the civil war turned out. Turkish Rule and Christianity.

If he cares to defend himself from my criticisms, which I deemed proper as a matter of party interest. I am ready to meet him oh that ground.

The movement for the amendment is under pure non partisan guidance. In my opinion, it is the logical thing to do now. It will come nearest to presenting the real Issue in the state freed from partisan and personal considerations. Those who wish to study this plan will find a list of references on the short ballot in Arnold B. Hall's "Pop ular Government." I think the most sprightly and readable little work on the subject is Richard S. Childs' "Hhort Ballot Principles.' If you will write to Childs, care or the National Municipal Review, you will undoubted ly meet with a valuable response. He is the father. I think it is safe to say, of the short ballot movement. R.

Omaha—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: During the first senator ial term of Senator NorriiP he came Into his office one morning very much disturbed and after greeting those present he gave vent to the following political philosophy “When a mem ber of congress thinks he sees a pros pective president every time he passes before a mirror he loses very much of his individuality and his power as a legislator." We were reminded of this political witicism by the announcement that Senator W. E. Borah would not be a presidential candidate next year. Very disquieting reports trickle in from Idaho indicating that the great con stitutional lawyer may fail of re-elec tion. The United States senate would miss Senator Borah. He has been an outstanding figure that has added lustre to that body. It is the Washington atmosphere again.

Heretofore only poor men, victims of the Shylocks. made vigor o*' protests and carried on campaigns against the usurers and wreckers of the country. Please let me call your attention to the fact that the ablest citizen in our industrial world, Mr. Ford, was selected for financial slaughter along with other popular manufacturers, as well a a the agri cultural Industry. This happened, and is known as the crime of 1920. Mr. Ford s experience prompted a careful examination of the financial system.

The commoners have availed themselves of Mr. Ford's ex posures. and his r'm'dy.
