An editorial written by Edward Rosewater and published 43 years ago, might, as far as its general application is concerned, have been written today. The farmer still suffers because of high freight rates to the seaboard, or wherever he ships his prod uce, and the barge line on the Missouri river still is a dream. Pressure has been brought on lawmak ers, state and national, and laws have been passed to stem the monopolistic pressure of transportation control, but the result has not brought the relief hoped for. Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas joins Chair man Kennedy of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce committee in remonstrating with the railroad presi denta for their failure to grant the plea for a re duced rate to the seaboard on wheat and flour in tended for export. Senator Capper appeals to the sense of fairness and justice of the railroad mag nates, concluding his letter in the following words: "The Omaha proposal, if carried out, would en % able us to get Into foreign markets In a better way, while the psychological effect on business, on mar kets and on the farmer himself would be instan taneous and most salutary. "The Interstate Commerce commission and the roads will, in my Judgment, show exceeding wisdom if they decide to grant tliig concession and put It - in force immediately. There never will be more urgent need of it nor a better opportunity for the roads to make friends while befriending those who have contributed so generously to their welfare dur ing the three most difficult years within a genera tion.” It is not enough to say that the industry of agri culture has survived all these years the rates of transportation. Injustice and inequity are none the lesa burdensome because long borne. What is asked for the farmer is not a general or continued reduc tion in rates at this time, but a temporary conces sion to tide over an emergency. The greatef prob lem of freight rates and control under the existing law is to be dealt with later and specifically, and the magnate! might well look to that time by show ing a readiness to help out a little right now. Nor has the question of water transportation been entirely overlooked. The next congress will be called upon to deal with it, and with a more com plete understanding of what is involved. The lakes to-ocean canal, improvement of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, and other waterway projects will get consideration, and even if the export trade be cut off entirely, some way will eventually be found whereby the grain of the west can gtft to the cotton fields of the south on far better terms than now arc possible. Hope has been deferred, ,but its realiza tion is coming nearer every day. TRYING NATURE’S HARDEST STUNTS. When Leander swam the Hellespont to greet his Hero, he was not in any way trying for a record or to win a medal. Yet he gained immortality, even if Lord Byron and some other modern athletes have performed the same feat. The incident serves, how ver, to back up the accomplishment of an American athlete, Henry Sullivan of Lowell, Mass., who has just succeeded in doing what swimmers for many generations have tried and failed at. He swam the English channel, fom Dover to Calais, thereby win ning for himself fame and 1,000 pounds sterling, offered as a prize by a London paper. The distance from shore to shore is only 22 V4 miles as the airplane goes, but Sullivan actually swam 56 miles. He was in the water 27 hours. When he was within three miles of the end of his journey the tide set against him, running two hours behind schedule time, and he was six hours making the final distance, and. winning the place that has been so long sought by champions of many climes. Nothing particular has been added to the mater ial growth of the world, but, just as did the young man who paddled his way across Lake Erie a few days ago, Sullivan has proven that man can over come almost any natural obstacle when he sets about it. Alcock and Brown flew across the Atlantic, Mac ready and Kelley flew from the Atlantic to the Paci fic in an uninterrupted flight. Peary discovered the North Pole, Ahmundsen and Scott the South, and so on. Man has tackled and accomplished all the tough jobs nature has set him, one by one, until the heights of Mount Everest alone remain unconquered. Swim ming the English channel is but one item in a glorious record, but it is a contribution. POLICEMAN’S LOT A BUSY ONE. A story comes down from the dim past of a tribe whose boys, when they came to be 7 or 8 years of age, were given a sling and sent out to knock down their own food; they did not eat until they had killed something to eat. David developed the skill that enabled him to conquer Goliath while tending sheep. At the battle of Cowpens Tarleton paid a terrible price for learning that mountaineers might not be trained soldiers, but were indeed trained to use their rifles. At New Orleans Pakenham learned a similar lesson. At the Marne the enemy felt sure the Amer ican marines were using machine guns, so swift and deadly was the rifle fire. N It is good to know how to use a rifle or a pistol, .iuat as it is good to know how to swim or harness a horse. Omaha policemen are getting a course of intensive training in target practice, that they may become entirely familiar with the \yeapons with which they are armed. Safety is in that direction. The man who knows his gun respects it, apd does not use it after a fashion that is dangerous to any one who is not sought. It bodes well for the future to have policemen trained in the duties that will be theirs, and in the technical knowledge of things they will have to han dle in the line of duty. Chief Dillon knows the game and Inspector Pszanowski is ambitious to make the force indeed “tho finest police in the land.” Let it not be entirely for parade purposes, but to increase the efficiency as well as the discipline, so that the city guardians will be really and truly protectors of the public. Another Nebraska man has slipped off to take a |10,000 job. This is where we raise such men. Old King Corn has stood a lot of drowning in other seasons and yet has come through nobly. J. Pluvius: For Pete’s sake, let upl PERSECUTION SETTLES NO ISSUES. If it be indeed true that the darkest hour is just before dawn, we may expect soon to see some light for Germany, although Premier Cuno says there is none along the horizon at present. German af fairs can hardly get into worse condition, and any change must be for the better. The announcement of the chancellor that Germans will abandon no part of German land is simply notice to the world that the present republic has not thought of surrendering any of the territory occupied by the French. This stand will have approval, just as the attitude of the French is now generally disapproved throughout the world. England’s proposed terms, not yet publicly com municated, are said by Cuno to contain some things unpleasant tot Germany. Any settlement now pos sible will necessarily be unpleasant for Germany, for radical changes in policies must be made if the re public is to be salvaged from dire ruin. Cuno real izes this, and he solemnly warns his countrymen and the world: “Germany must be prepared for a long period of suffering and to accommodate itself to such circum stances and not expect to work wonders. t\'e must believe in ourselves and manifest that belief, not by fatalistic resignation, but by action. “The world has known we are ready to take into account French prestige if France ceases to impose humiliation merely for the sake of humiliation, but what we can not, and will not, do is to abandon our German land and betray our fellow countrymen.” France’s present policy is more terrible in peace than that of imperial Germany was in war, and it will have to be modified. The world does not need another Russia, nor is there immediate danger of the German people accepting the chaos of commun ism as an alternative for their present situation. We need not waste time in examining too closely what has been done, for wisdom dictates that efforts be directed toward the future, and the repairing of some of the damage that has been wrought by the unrelenting prosecution of the policy of Poincare. Civilization is concerned in this as deeply as the French politicians are interested in the pursuit of vengeance. “Iron determination” will sustain any people, once accustomed to law and order, under any form of adversity. “Not by fatalistic resignation, but by action,” says Cuno, lies the way to recovery for the Germans. What is passing between England and France soon will have to be told to the world, for too much depends upon those negotiations to permit them to be kept secret forever. Germany has felt the full force of defeat, has tasted the cup and drained it to its dregs, and should not be pressed to utter ruin by a mistaken policy of force. That breeds resentment, and co-operation is what is wanted. RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSES. Any industry that has a payroll of $2,000 a day, and whose output is of general service and a worthy contribution to the wealth and convenience of the world, is worth while, in Omaha or any place else. On such institutions rests the importance and per manency of the city. We are talking of the Omaha automobile tire fac tories. This week has been devoted to the consid eration of their affairs by the public. People are asked to become acquainted with the three busy plants, visit the works, examine the processes, and find out just what is being done. The payroll men tioned is only one part of the business. Daily these factories employ 650 men, turn out 2,000 tires and 1,900 tubes. They pay $40,000 a year for taxes, $5,000 a month for power, and $1,000 a month for water. One of the remarkable facts in connection with the tire business in Omaha is that the Omaha-made tire is better known on the Pacific coast than it is in Douglas county. Consequently, “Omaha-made tire week” is just an invitation to the citizens to get acquainted with what is going on right here at home. Everybody will be helped as these institutions de velop. MYSTERY FROM REAL LIFE. Truth has ever been stranger than fiction, and in the news columns of the daily papers may be found stories of facts or actual happenings that exceed in interest any the imagination of the best writer furnishes. One of these comes from a New York reformatory. There a young man has just been re leased after two years’ imprisonment for stealing an automobile. He has kept his identity secret, and ex pects to take his place in a busy world, hiding his disgrace behind his energy and capacity for doing good work. This young man was well educated; lie did not have the excuse of being ignorant or inexperienced, for he was a college man, an engineer and chemist of recognized ability, and he served as an officer through the war. Yet he deliberately steps into a costly automobile that was not his own, and drove it several hundred miles before he was overtaken and brought to account What sort of explanation can be offered for this form of crime? It baffles the alienist, and certainly puzzles the layman. In prison the brilliant quality of this man’s mind shone in his application to duty and his study. He qualified himself for admission to the bar, and now expects as a lawyer to atone for his sin. The world will wish him well, and forget about him, if he succeeds in going straight. Yet-his case surely deserves to be studied, because it might solve the riddle of a good many other deeds that mystify the observer. A farmer friend writes us that one of today’s troubles is not the low price of selling, but the high price of spending. A Chicago baby lays claim to being the first named for Calvin Coolidge. Competition open to the world. South Dakota’s governor has declared war on the gasoline rates, and it will be interesting to watch the outcome.

Tn 1180 conditions were in some regards comparable to thoa* existing at present, and on Aprtt 2 of that year Mr. Rosewater discussed the question of a barge line on the river. "CHEAP TRANSPORTATION" "To the people of the west, and especially of the Mississippi and Mis sourl valleys, the question that over shadows all other Issues of the pres ent and the future is the problem how to cheapen transportation. It costs one bushel of wheat to carry another bushel to market, and it Is virtually Impracticable to ship to the seaboard In bulk, owing to the cost of transportation. The quantity of products fs Increasing from year to year with the increase in population and the greater area of soil under cultivation. The failuie of the Euro pean crops, that created such an ex traordinary demand for our bread stuffs last year, and enabled us to export our surplus grain at a profit, is exceptional. Should Austria Hun gary and Kueeta raise an average grain crop thia season, the demand will cease, and a heavy decrease in breadstuffs is inevitable. "Suppose the decline ia equal to 30 cents a bushel, how much will a Kansas or Nebraska farmer realize for his grain at present rates of transportation? What will a farmer in Nebraska or Kansas be worth, if his products cannot be sold for what it costs to raise them? If our farm ers Are bankrupt. If they can't mqke a fair livelihood out of their labor, how will our merchants and manu facturers fare? Isn't the. decline of cur towns and cities Inevitable If rur farmers do not thrive? Can an intelligent man reach any other con clusion than this, that we must cheapen transportation or give tip all we have and all wo shall hereafter produce to the monopolies? Every where the railroads are consolidating nnd pooling. They are concentrating their power, and by controlling all the avenues to the seaboard they practically govern the country. "Now, unices the farmers pool their issues and concentrate all their In fluence upon their lawmakers Instate legislatures and congress, to limit monopoly extortion by law. their only salvation is the establishment of barge lines on the Mississippi and Missouri rivers and the enlargement of canals and the opening of water ways to the sea. "We are gratified to announce that active steps are being taken by lead ing merchants and rapitallsts of Kan sas City to establish a harge line from that point to St. Louis and New Orleans. According to the esti mates presented by the commerce committee of the Kansas City Hoard of Trade the freight between Kansas City and New Orleans would he car ried by boat for 25 cents per hun dred, as against 57 cents per hundred now charged by rail. Furthermore, an allied offensive and defensive could easily be made tvith lower river transportation companies by which all the Missouri river traffic could he turned to them. It would necessi tate the outlay of about $100,000. with which threo fleets of lwirges could he placed on the river. It is proposed to interest the country trib utary to Kansas City and bring such pressure to hear on congressmen that an appropriation would he secured for the Improvement of the river. "If a barge line will pay from Kansas City, we can see no reason why such a line could not be made to pay between Omaha and St. Louis, and for that matter, another line could he established between Tank ton anA St. Louis. "The time cannot he very distant when such barge lines will become an absolute necessity, and If the aub sidles voted to railroads had been given to such enterprises, the farm ers of Iowa. Nela-iiaka and Kansas would have solved the transportation problem long ago." A Silent Partner. Two men who were "something In city” were lunching at their club one day.

Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: According to instruc tions given out by the health depart ment of Omaha last spring, specific instructions with regard to garbage cans, and care In keeping lids closed on same, were stressed. The special object in this was to keep flies from accumulating, as well as to prevent I unhealthy fumes from escaping and befouling the air. Such instructions were both wise and timely and any good citizen who of necessity should use such recep tacle no doubt will live up to the in structions given. However. If one should follow any of the trucks sent out to gather this refuse they will find that seldom do the men employed in this work cover a can or receptacle. At my home only twice In this whole season so far has the garbage can been covered by those gathering the garbage, most of the time leav ing the can not only open, but lying on the side, so that it drains out on the ground. Should the can remain open all day when no one is at home It Is not difficult to Imagine the re sult. Now if Dr. Pinto would take enough interest in this matter to fol low up his own instructions and see to it that the men employed in this work at least do a little to'carry out his instructions, we feel use that it would be greatly appreciated by the citizens of Omaha in general. GEO. H. HAWKE*?. 2S20 Ames Avenue. Booking Henry Over. Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: While it is true that a few labor unionists look favorably upon Ford as a candidate for presi dent at the next election, the reading public should by no means regard him as a friend of labor for that reas son. We need only pause for a mo ment and ponder his opinions of or ganized labor, as revealed in Collier's Weekly of August 4, to discover that Henry Ford is an enemy rather than a friend of labor. “You probably think the labor unions were organized by labor, but they weren't," says the manufacturer. 1 They were organized by these Jew financiers. The labor union is a great scheme to interrupt work. It speeds up the loafing. It s a great, thing for the Jew to have on hand when he comes around to get his clutches on industry." "I want to tell you," Ford con tinues, “that we are not going to have any foolishness take the place of work on our railroads. I have told the la bor unions and the brotherhoods that the only thing we will recognize is labor: and the only organization we will recognize is the organization of work." i These sentences clearly re'-ea) Ford as an avowed enemy of labor as well as of Jews. If he were willing to study history, Henry would learn that trade unions existed in this country long* before our modern financiers were in their cradles. In the year 17S6 the Philadelphia printers struck for a minimum wage of a week. The carpenters of the same city struck for the 10 hour day in 1791. During the period of 1S0O to 1*20, when men, women and children were forced from home industry Into shop-j by industrial development, the entire country seethed with unrest accom panied by strikes, spontaneous and organized. Because of his Insane hatred of the Jews, however, Mr. Ford's sense of Judgment is completely overwhelmed by the fact that Mr. Oompers. the president of the American Federation of Labor, happens to he of Jewish birth. In Mr. Ford's opinion, the en tire labor movement can consequent ly be nothing else than a Jewish con spiracy. Such l.» the brilliant reason ing of the man whom so many of our fellow citizens would make president of this country! Organized labor, quite fortunately, is not afflicted with Mr. Ford's nar rowness of mind. A roster of trade union officials would show almost every nationality and religious denoni inatlon represented. The trade union ists. almost without exception, regard their brother members as equals, re gardless of what their nationality, color or creed may be. That is one reason why Henry Ford's supporters ln*thc labor unions are growing fewef in number. His denial of the right of collective Imr gainlng to his own employes is an other reason. TOM MATTHEWS. 4801 Seward Street. The Love of a Dog. Fremont, Neb.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: No finer example of true love can lie found than the dumb affection shown by animal pets for theiH human masters. Though often unrequited, seldom fully appreciated and rarely returned in the same meas ure that it is given, the love of an animal can ho made an unwavering regard that even death can not put asunder. * For many centuries the dog has been regarded as man's best friend. He has been his constant companion, his pal, his comrade alike in pros perity and in adversity. He never betrays a confidence, never swerves from the side of his master even in the face of certain defeat. He frolics through life content only with the hones from his hand, joyful at a caj-esutrig touch or a kind word. He droops penitently under the pun ishing hand of his beloved idol and struggles to the last ounce of his strength against the intruder who would harm the man he worships. The love of a dog for a man is one of the most remarkable things known to science. The canine heart once won, can never be cast aside or wooed away. Rough and unkind treatment can hurt and offend him but he can seldom lie permanently antagonized. A dog's life can become so entwined about that of his master that when death takes the latter, the former pines away until ho also finds solace in the great heyojid. The great heart of a dog, once broken, can never be hoaled He will keep lonely vigil over the little mound that marks the remains of his human companion, warding off all trespassers, ignoring the advances of would-be friends and refusing food until his own body is wasted away. The dog ran see only v irtue and good in the soul of the man he loves He can worship the criminal as whole heartedly as he can the salec He never questions, never criticizes: always follows willingly where the master leads, always obeys Ills slight est wish. In return for his great love he asks no reward, no reeom pense. He will sleep unsheltered through the long eold night and on the morn will welcome bis owner With glad heart and joyous bark. What a wonderful world tills would be if we could love one another as our mistreated and unappreciated dumb pets love us! MART R 1 nllke Most Creditors.

His mind would change considerably as to how real farming was done by real farmers.—Scottsbluff Republican. A few years ago Nebraska mort gages were quite largely owned by Nebraska people and institutions. Now loans are rapidly Increasing and most of the money comes from the east. It takes all that Nebraska cap ital can do to finance the purchase of what automobiles, gas and oil our people are buying, and we are put ting our money where it will depre ciate and take an expense dollar or two along with it, while the capital ist Is putting his where it will come hack to him bringing along Its Inter est accumulation. Which of the twain is the wise boy? Do you think you could locate the bonehea/i?— Aurora Register. Aurora has a progressive league of women voter*. This is an organi zation that is mffi-partisan and edu cational. It seeks reforms and prog ress through an intelligent and rea soned use of the euffrage. It stands for those things that are best in the way of legislation. Last fall the state league of women voters sent a questionnaire to every candidate for state office, to ascertain hi* stand on such question* a* prohibition, child welfare, etc. The league has been active in promoting child welfare, good maternity laws, and better work ing conditions for women workers. It actively supported the Sheppard Towner maternity bill at the last ses sion of the legislature and due to its efforts the legislature* which fussed over msst everything it did. accepted the provisions of the federal law with little opposition. There is a possibility that the state meeting of the league this fall will be held in Aurora.
