Turkey comes out of Lausanne proud and erect, a member in good standing of the family of na tions, in full fellowship in the League of Nations, and with political gains that more than offset the terri torial loss. Practically every concession demanded by the Angora government was granted, and the European nations gain peace plus the responsibility for the mandated territory. Whether Turkey can sustain the duties and obli gations that go along with her new position will only be answered as time goes on. If such observers as Arthur J. Toynbee, for example, are justified, then we may expect a dignified and stable government at Angora, rather than at Constantinople. The ancient capital will remain as Turkish, but is likely to be supplanted as the capital of the nation by the newer seat from which the Young Turks and Na tionalists have put up their battle for recognition of their national and political rights, that battle ending in victory at Lausanne. Chief among the concessions made, and that which will most closely affect the United States, is the abolishment of capitulations, the age-old system under which aliens maintained courts of law and other special privileges for the benefit of their na tionals within Turkish domains. Some vestige re mains, in the provision that calls for the presence of legal advisers of foreign nations, but all actions will be before Turkish courts. We have a large number of our nationals in Turkey, teachers, missionaries and the like, and their status will be profoundly al tered by this new treaty. The world will watch with great interest the treatment of minorities in Turkey in the near fu ture. At the outset, the treaty will produce an im mense amount of suffering and privation, for it calls for the immediate exchange of population between Turkey and Greece, a movement unprecedented in modern history, and certain to cause loss and misery to all touched by it. The Armenian question is left open; no pledges are given them, beyond the general promise, not entirely to be trusted, that Turkey will deal justly with minorities. What sort of justice the Turk will accord the Armenian may be gathered from the performances in the past. Nearly 500 years ago the Turks came into posses sion of the great capital of the Byzantine empii% and immediately began pushing their conquests into Europe. Finally checked and turned back, they began • series of negotiations that has continued to the present day; treaty after treaty has been signed, most of them broken at once, and the end is not yet. Control of the straits has always been the aim, and this is not even now settled. If the record can be taken as a guide, the treaty just concluded only promises further trouble. If it be indeed true that the Turk has seen the light, and wants to become a decent citizens, there is some hope. Minister Grew, who represents the United States at Switzerland, has been carrying on conversations with Ismet Pasha, relative to the interests and re lations of our country with Turkey, but to no con clusion as yet. England failed to secure preferential treatment in the matter of Mesopotamian oil, but has the consolation of knowing that all other foreign concessions similarly failed. By and large, it is as com plete and general a victory for Turkey as any defeated nation ever won in conference, and this victory is due to the fact that none of the nations on the other side of the table wanted to resort to war to enforce a demand the Turks would not grant. Such a treaty lacks the one vital element of sincere understanding. HIS RICHES WERE VAPORS. A veteran of the Civil war died in hi* shack on the banks of the Blue river near Blue Spring*. He had lived by himself, keeping his own counsel, and while he made no ostentatious display, regarded him self as wealthy. Search of his effects disclosed sev eral hundred dollars in cash and stock certificates to the face value of more than $2,000,000. Worth nothing, except for old paper. This was the basis of his wealth. How much he paid for the collection is not known, but it must have been considerable. Vendors of such stuff do not as a rule part with it for nothing when dealing with a “prospect” who knows little about values. Ap peals to his cupidity are supported by praise of his acumen, and visions of ease and luxury surround the business talk, until the imagination of the victim reaches out into the future and sees all its promises' fulfilled, dreams realized, and riches and all that goes with them secured. Every now and then the government authorities succeed in bringing to account some of the harpies who prey on the gullible and credulous, but not enough to stop the game. In the case of this old veteran, the probabilities are that some one who knew bis circumstances systematically swindled him of small sums at a time, until the aggregate mounted to a respectable figure. W'hether the old man en tirely understood how completely he had been swin dled will never be known, but it must be that at times he did regret parting with his money for pretty bits of paper that are valueless. And the man who cheated him, unless he is different from all other men, must some day feel the remorse that will be his because' he robbed an old man. A year ago the Filipinoa were asking that Gen eral Wood be kept in the islands. Now they ask that he be removed, thus proving that it is possible for them to change their minds. A Kansas City professor claims for that city the distinction of being the divorce center of the uni verse. Claim conceded, so far as Omaha is concerned. A whaling outfit for the alkali lake monster may be in order, but what we would like to know is where that monster spends his days. The girl who forged to get money to pay a sweet heart’s way through college was devoted, even if she did show bad judgment. Judge Munger’s receptions are being very well at tended, despite the hot weather. “Sick Man of Eu/ope” is strong and well again. Got your tlfbusand bushels yet? MR. HARDING GOES FISHING. A few years ago a president of the United States gave everybody a shock by listening to a proposal that he meet the president of a sister republic to the south at the center of an international bridge where they might shake hands across the boundary. It wouldn’t do for either to set foot on foreign terri tory. No president of the United States had ever left the country while he was in office, and such a thing was unthinkable. When Woodrow Wilson went to Paris, by a very polite and rather thin fiction, the territory'of the United States was preserved, but it existed only in imagination, and the country got along fairly well while the president was abroad. Everything has to be done the first time. Warren G. Harding has made a precedent by invading the Dominion of Canada to go fishing. ' No marshaling of troops, no parading of dignitaries, no hurrying back and forth of flunkies and functionaries. A plain man takes his rod and line and goes for^h with some companions to catch a mess of trout. Of course, that plain man happens to be the chief magistrate of the world’s greatest republic, the executive head of a mighty nation. He is surrounded by the impressive features of his high office, clothed with its dignity and power. But he remains just a plain man, ani mated by the same motives, aspiring to the same pleasures, and reacting to the same influences as the humblest citizen of the land. So President Harding disregarded precedent and all that sort of thing, and went fishing, into Canada, a foreign land. The world rolled along much the same, and when the president is received with due ceremony by representatives of the Canadian gov ernment at Vancouver, it will be the more cordial because of the informality of his first visit to a friendly neighbor. Such simplicity might well be extended without doing the cause of government in jury anywhere. “HI” HOME AND SILENT. Surface indications are that whatever Senator Hiram Johnson’s plans are, he is not ready to com municate them to the public. While he was cheered by 2,000 people when he left the Leviathan at New York, he Is too astute to mistake that demonstration for an uprising, and he is too experienced a cam paigner to expose himself to fire unnecessarily. He therefore made good on the comment of Magnus Johnson, whom he declined to discuss, and who is credited with saying, “Senator Johnson talks too lit tle.” “Some folks talk too much,” said the Califor nia Johnson. One thing that will appeal to a great many peo ple is that Senator Hiram came home visibly im pressed by the American merchant marine, reporting also that a number of his fellow passengers on the great ship entertained sentiments similar to his own, which are that they had “Resoluted that the Stars and Stripes would be sufficient for them on the seas, and some were reso luted that the Stars and Stripes would be sufficient for them on land, too." Senator Hiram Johnson declined to be “smoked out” on the presidential situation, or as to whether he would follow Mr. Harding’s trail across the con tinent. He declared himself to the general effect that he would get his message to the people “where I can and how I can.” On the surface, this doesn’t mean anything, for Senator Johnson is sure of a hearing and respectful attention wherever he goes. What his message will be must await his presenta tion of it. He is certain to have something to say about European conditions, and it will be worth listening to. What else he has in mind can not be guessed now, but it should forecast a lively session of the senate, starting in^ December next. WILLIAM BAIRD, USEFUL CITIZEN. Another figure familiar to many Omahans will be missed from the city streets, from the court rooms, from the church, and from other haunts of men. William Baird’s quiet, unostentatious life closed Sun day, as it had been lived, but he has left a record that deserves to be kept in mind by all forever. He practiced law in Omaha for 37 years, attain ing prominence in his profession, and meeting what may well be set down as success. Other Omaha law yers during that time have attained great distinction at the bar for their fine legal ability; some have grown wealthy, and some have achieved high honor in a political or social way. William Baird’s distinc tion was based on a different foundation from any of these. He was noted for his integrity. Not that honesty and truthfulness are rare among lawyers, for they are not, yet a man must have unusual quali ties of personal character to deserve and hold such a reputation that he will be generally referred to be cause of his probity in all matters. William Baird had that character. He began de veloping it as a boy, when he had to work hard to win his way through the country schools he at tended, and then through the college from which he was graduated^ to be later admitted t6 the bar. It was no royal road he traveled, but he made his way by patient industry to a high place among distin guished men. As a churchman Mr. Baird deserved notice. His religion was not for one day in the week, but went with him throogh all seven. A student, he gave to others the benefits of his study, the fruits of his re search, and if he had not already been well estab lished as a lawyer, he might have won attention %s a Bible student and commentator. A life lived use fully and well as his was is not lived in vain. European celebrities are shying at offers to lec ture in America. They say they do not like criticism, but the probabilities are that the guaranty has some thing to do with the case. Homespun Verse —By Omaha's Own Poet— Robert Worthington Davie BUILDING HOUSES. My little girl builds houses In the send heeide the door. Her tiny feet go patting to and from the favorite place; fihe catla to me and murmur*, “I'll build some houses more."

Omaha.—To the Editor 'of The Omaha Bee: Prior to the emergency tariff law and the present tariff law, we had had the Wilsonian tariff law, the ideal democratic accomplishment. But in 1920 and 1921, under this Wil sonian tariff law. the value of farm production was cut In two. Of course fidgety democratic editors and politic ians do not remember this fact. But all sane persons do. Then, too, with the Wilsonian tariff law we have the greatest of all things—next to the war for democracy—tho federal reserve system, "the great credit liberator.” Think of all the blessings that flowed to us from that great vision, and, at the end, March 4, 1921. poverty and suffering in our dear land of plenty, where everything is abundant except real money—the true measure of value. T. S. FENLON. Reopening an Old Feud. Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: The legal theatricals which Attorney General Daugherty staged in Minnesota this week, whereby he expects to divide the har vester trust into three competing di visions would be spectacular were it not for the temper the agricultural sections are plainly exhibiting. For the left hand to compete with the right hand, and then both hands com pete with the left leg, all belonging to the same body and under direction of the same pocketbook, belittles com mon intelligence. December 11. 1911, George \V. Per kins, who refused to testify before the Stanley investigating committee In regard to.the misuse of the trust funds of the life Insurance companies and wHo would have been sent to Jail only one democratic congressman had a venal strain In his Code, came to Washington and gave out an Inter view stating that President Taft was going to give the harvester companies all of the time they needed and that there might not be any prosecution. As an executive officer of the Na tional Anti-Trust league; we were commissioned by that organization, co-operating with radical senators and congressmen, to serve notice on the Department of Justice that If ac tion was not begun against the har vester organization—on which the government already had the evidence —that impeachment proceedings would be started forthwith against the attorney general for the United States When we let loose that challenge It was like a thunderbolt from the clear sky and we were immediately con ducted to the third degree room, where Mr. J A. Fowler of Tennes see, one of the great lawyers of the nation, liecame master of ceremonies "What do you people want?” de manded Fowler. The record shows this answer: "In our section of the country' we have a code and a lan. guage that is all our own. The pio neers held the horse thief as the most villainous character of their times. Now the court awards, which this ad ministration and the administrations preceding it have secured, wherein the tobacco and other trusts have been divided, but the same men own and operate the different divisions, are simply wasted energy. To reduce this proceeding to our language, it would mean that several bands of horse thieves had gathered a great herd of stolen horses. The power of the law* had descended upon them and. after an expensive prosecution, the court found that a large herd of horses of this kind was Inimical to society, and that the herd must be broken up. but that each thief should retain his share." None were more surprised than the writer at the way this homely alle gory swept over Washington. Hut there was a different atmosphere then than there Is today. Four-fifths of the people were not bankrupted Now, to return the contest to Ne braska. Some 30 years ago a rugged young man up In the Merrick county dls trict began to shown signs of com mercial prowess. This young man became associated with the Mc Cormick Harvester company. It Is said that In those days when the farmer boys and girls went bare footed to school In the cold weather that Alex begge could take the last cow away from a farmer for an out lawed note and leave the farmer still thinking that he had been granted a favor. When the Rockefeller and McCormick families attempted to per petuate their progeny and their for tunes. and the daughter of the oil king and the son of the harvester manufacturer came to Council Bluffs to get. the western viewpoint. begge was In charge of that division It Is needless to say, and very proper to give him full credit, begge played his cards "aces up" alt of the time. When George W. Perkins died, the Peering* faded from view and lhe McCormick* became osl fled or "Walsgned.” I-egge slid Into the position of head squeexe of the whole works. Twenty years ago we were elected an executive officer of the Nebraska and Iowa Implement Dealers' asso ciation at a meeting held In Omaha. At that meeting we predicted and had those predictions written Into the resolutions stating that If those trusts were allowed to choke out sll com petition that the vorv condition which the state of Minnesota answered last Monday, would arrive. For this activity and this declare tlon, George W. Perkins and hi* hired snipers began a campaign of Innuen do and commercial guerilla tactics that has no parallel In American com mercial activities.

"THE INDIAN CAMPAIGN.” “While Bourbon demagogues like Sunset Cox are clamoring for the fur ther decimation of the army, as a desirable measure of retrenchment and economy, the American people are confronted by the irrepressible conflict now being waged on the west ern frontier between the national troops and the hostile savages now •on the warpath, determined to stem the advancing wave of civilization. The recent sanguinary engagement between the troops under command of General Crook, and the Indians under Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse & Co., has demonstrated conclusively that oui army is altogether too weak in num bers with the averwhelming force that confronts them. It is self-evident that the national government must either reinforce General Crook with at least 10,000 well equipped men or this in trepid commander will be compelled to abandon the campaign and leave the Indians the masters of the situa tion. Such a withdrawal would nut only prove disastrous to the settlers in the Black Hills region, but it would inevitably surrender western Nebras ka. Wyoming and portions of Dakota to the bloody rule of the Sioux. Hay. Ing inaugurated the Indian campaign, It is hardly probable that the national administration will ahandcn the ground at the firing of the first gun. Such a course would be an outrage on modern civilization. “In the forcible language of Bob Ingersoll. a government that will not defend ita defenders and protect its protectors would tie a disgrace to the map of the world. Having engaged in this Indian war. the government owes it to its own t -putation and to the defenseless people i f the fr-n tier to push the war with ail the vigor and ability at its command. Gen eral Sherman evidently understands the situation, and he predicts that the troops will be out all summer, will have a trying campaign, and will suf fer many losses. He declares that further forbearance his ceased to he a virtue toward these Indians, and only a severe and persistent chastise ment will tiring them to a due sense of submission. The only way to ac compliah this must Is* the ffinmitil tlon of more troops In the Indian country, and that without the least possible delay “ health and spirit, we were almost ready to write the word "failure" when out of the clear sky and with out any premonition we wire handed the throttle of the most powerful en gine of offehae ever created in this nation.

II GREEN l abor and Prohibilion. Omaha.—To the Udltor of The Omaha Bee: I note In the disiintches the other dAy that the labor assembly at Duluth, heeding the protest of women delegates, refused to art on a resolution presented by the "wet" In terests placing organized labor of Du liuh In the attitude of supporting the tight for so-called light wines and beer. It Is gratifying to me, as It prob ably will be to many other trade un ionists, that we have at least one center where labor unions refuse to tight the battle for the liquor Inter osts to the detriment of their own. During the rarnpAlgn for the 11th amendmeat the brewery workers, bar tender* and related organizations put up the best tight they could to save the breweries, distilleries and their jobs After the amendment liecame law the brewery workers' organiza tion became the "International Union of United Brewery, Flour. Oreal and Soft Drink Workers of America." The unions allied with the liquor In dustry. after fighting heroically to aave the breweries and distilleries, are now fighting as heroically to save their unions from destruction at the hinds of the owners who turned their breweries and dial tileries Into Indus trie* employing workmen eligible to membership to the soft drink workers orgsnlzatlon referred to above Frequently lalnir unions receive no. tires to the effect that some former brewer had become unfair to his em ployes. Just a few days ago three such notices came in the sains mail.

B. BREWER, Gen. Mgr. V. A. BRIDGE, Cir. Mgr. Subscribed and a worn to before me thia 7th day of July, 192.t W II QUIYEY, (Seal) Notary Public The Tragedy of $1 Wheat. From the St. LouU Ulobe-Democr»t The drop within two weeks from 11.10 to $1 and less. In the price of spot wheat, is estimated to cost the farmers of the country more than 180,000,000 on this year’s crop, to say nothing of any ’’carry-over” from last year. The serious phase of the mat ter Is that wheat at 11.10 is declared to bs produced at a heavy loss and with $80,000,000 more added to the loss under the greater price, the pur chasing power of the farmers is, as President K. O. Bradfute of the Farm Bureau federation Bays, so reduced that the unfortunate results affect others thaa the farming classes. Of course, a familiar cycle which Is a cause of much complaint sees a de creased price for wheat Immediately ufter harvest, but an Increased price later when most of the farmers have none to sell. It may be that a new cycle of the sort is beginning, but wheat now falls below- i for'the first time since the war opened, nine years ago the last of this month, and with no small percentage of last year’s crop unconsumed and bumper yields abroad as well as at home this season, the outlook for a material apprec-la tion has for some weeks been recog nized as unfavorable. The decline Is held to be due to a natural and not an artificial market condition and, that condition being one of overproduction, Mr. Bradfute sees no remedy other than In lessened production. i hat is also a remedy prescribed by the International Farm Congress of America. The board of governors of that body declares that much of the wheat belt is as much a one-crop country as is much of the cotton belt, with variation in crops as desirable in the one belt as it has long been seen to be in the other. The soil Is tired, the tiller aweary of inadequate rewards, says this board. Credit f.A fcllitles will not. In themselves, remove the difficulty. Much foreign wheat raising territory has cheap land, cheap labor, cheap transportation Handi capped in the competition, wheat can no longer carry all the overhead of tlie American farm and supply the chief, often the only. Income, and gov ernment price fixing Is a delusion. Therefore, the hoard urges a turning to crops other than wheat. But to what other crops shall the typical farmer turn’ The question is not answered so easily. The board recommends dairying and poultry raising. These industries have tjie advantage of bringing In money at short intervals, while wheat brings in money only once a year If huge areas of the wheat belt should be de voted to them, overproduction would, of course follow. Kapid as has been the increase in poultry and dairy products in recent years, however, the country has seemed able to absorb all at good prices and undoubtedly could absorb much more without excessive price reduction. Various other crops, fruits, especially small fruits. ro"t crops, garden products on a large scale with live stock raising are tndi cated. according to locality and near ness to market*. A national linen in dustry with increased flax production might have promise. Kor a reduced wheat crop as much or more money might be obtained than for the larger crops of the present, leaving the re ceipts from other products as a gain. The tragedy of »1 wheat measured in dollars which will only buy about «0 cents worth of necessities other than those supplied by the form is not to be ignored. The agrarian dis tress of the past three seasons threat ens not merely to be continued, but1 to be intensified, despite all hopeful plans for relief. With legislation tragically helpless except so far as It may supplement individual and asso elated effort, anxious thought must go out to the hard working, preeeverlng farmers of the country, on whom the prosperity of the rest of us is depen dent in major degrees. The Amplified Voire. From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. The president of the United States, crossing the continent, has an oppor tunity of speaking to his countrymen such as nc president before him ever approached. His speech at 8t. Louis may easily have had 2,000,000 inVisl ble listeners, of whom It would be safe to say at least 40,000 were gath ered about loud speakers or indi vidually listening in Philadelphia. Kvery word expressive of thrilled amazement has been on the lips of the multitude in the few months past to utter something of the wonder and the elation of those who use the new, Strange power of the air; but lan guage falls short of the fact. The far tiung vibration does not make the printed word superfluous, but It brines the Innumerable audience about the f'-et of him who speaks, and the re sponsibility for weighing well every word is vastly increased. The responsibility is as large as the opportunity. In a striking passage In the poems of George Meredith are the lines: "The voice of one for millions In whom the millions rejoice For giving their one spirit voice.” Such a chance to become the soul and conscience of America made arti culate has been granted to no ruler before our time.
