Lord Birkenhead's attack on Baldwin because of his “ill bred’’ note to France would in itself denote the reactionary activ ity of the old conservative party in England; cou pled with his snarl at Bonar Law because of his debt settlement with the United States, it has the aspect almost of a threat to the present government of the United Kingdom. Birkenhead, like all his group, fails to take into full consideration all the water that has run under the bridge since last the tory party controlled the affairs and sought to shape the destiny of the nation. Similarly, Poincare exhibits a lamentable misap prehension of the situation when he proposes to make adjustment with Germany on the basis of cancellation by the United States of any part of the debt owed us by France, or any other European na tion. All along Poincare has pretended to support his course in Germany on the basis of justice. Again and again have we been assured that France pro poses to discharge its international obligations in lull, and that its reparation claims would be meas ured accordingly. It does not call for any close analysis to dis cover the purpose behind the present maneuvering. Having pressed Germany to the very edge of indus trial and political chaos, France now indirectly in vites the United States to step in and assist in re storing health and strength to both countries. Poin care and his associates evidently fail to appreciate that by their conduct they have forfeited in a large degree, if not wholly, the sympathy that went out to France from this country. Our people felt, and still feel, that much was due to France in the way of reparations, but they look upon the invasion of the Ruhr as an expedient of doubtful value when it was undertaken, and have noted with distaste the unfortunate progress of that adventure. Persistence in a wrong policy never yet has brought a permanent settlement of any question. France can not build a worthy or desirable future on the ruins of Germany. To further shatter the disrupted empire will not tranquilize Eu rope. Streseman may successfully stem the red tide that is beating against the Ebert republic, but his task will be a great deal easier and Poincare’s chance for collecting will be brighter if France gives a little help by slacking up on the screws a turn or two. \ Meanwhile, the United States is deeply inter ested in the outcome, but not to the point of inter vening to save France from the result of its political madness. Baldwin’s plain talk will have to be ac cepted in spirit, by England, France and Belgium, before anything definite can be accomplished in the way of settlement. FROM THE WRONG ANGLE. May it not be possible that the present condition of unrest and dissatisfaction with things in general is due to the fact that we have been relying too much upon legislative enactment to produce pros perity, and relying too little upon individual initia tive and effort? For some years past it seems to have been a habit to rush to congress or the legis lature for relief, and then sitting by and complain ing because the results sought have failed to ma terialize. Are taxes too high? Look to the legislature for relief, instead of getting right down to home condi tions and curtailing expenses of a public nature just as we would our individual expenses when in come failed to meet outgo. Are conditions burdensome? Ask the legisla ture for a law, instead of looking the conditions squarely in the face and meeting them squarely and honestly. Why shoulder individual or community re sponsibility when it is so easy to shoulder it off on congress or the legislature and then trust to paid of ficials to attend to it for us? It would seem that after a while it would bore into the mind that not all of our social and economic evils are solvable by legislative enactment, and that •■is individuals we must accept our personal share of the responsibility. “Of making of books there is no end” is not more true than that the making of laws there is no end. The result seems to be that we, as a people, have come to look upon the mere enactment of laws as the solution of all our trou bles, thus relieving us of individual responsibility as citizens. Another result of this indiscriminate enact ment of laws is a growing disrespect for law that is being reflected in growing lawlessness and a rapid lowering of the moral tone of the entire country. It might be well if the people of this country, Nebraska especially, would take some thought of their duty to shoulder responsibility, not only as citizens but as parents, and for a time at least cease looking to mere legislative enactment for relief from perils that now beset us. YES, OF COURSE, IT’S HOT. ‘ “ But you simply can not cool yourSelf off by watching the thermometer, or cussing the weather. Have you ever tried becoming so interested in your work that you forgot the flight of passing time, the heights reached by the mercury in the tube, or the deficiencies of your neighbors? It can be done. For get all about style in dress and dress for comfort, talcum powder was never intended as a substitute for the bathtub, and if Mother Nature had not in tended our pores to exude perspiration they simply wouldn’t. Honest sweat never hurt anybody; on the contrary, it has been the moral and physical salvation of millions. Of course every one who can take a vacation and sepk cooler habitations should do so, but there are millions who can not. “’Tis true, ’tis pity, and pity 'tis ’tis true.” But the condition can not be cured by complaints, so why not accept the inevita ble and make the best of it? Eat sparingly and as nearly as possible of nonheat producing foods. Dress as comfortably as possible, forgetting the often fool ish dictates of Dame Fashion. There are ample bathing facilities in Omaha’s parks, and in the lakes and streams that abound in Nebraska. Keep the body clean and the mind free. I.ook not upon the thermometer when its mercury rises in the tube, for at last it heateth like a furnace and wrecks many a good temper. Yes, it’s hot. But try to keep the mind cool and the temper equable. That will help a whole lot to temper the hot gtcather to the perspiring individual. WHEN HONOR SHINES CLEAR. We read that rules governing amateur sports at colleges are not making amateurs but are making liars. This is sad, if true. Let us turn to a more attractive picture for a moment. Francis Massara is cook at the Country club; Gene Slattery is a member of the Omaha Field club. Massara has to play his golf on a public Jinks, while Slattery has the advantage of the course at the club grounds. Moreover, Slattery is the Univer sity of Nebraska champion, showing him to have acquired considerable tournament experience. This pair was matched in a close contest for tjie city championship on Sunday. Now, the rules of golf are peculiarly adapted for the game because of penalties laid on the player for the conduct of spectators. At a very critical point in the game, Slattery committed a technical violation of a rule, but Massaba declined to take ad vantage of the fault. Some outsider broke in and advised him to not forego the chance. This turned the hole back to Slattery, and he, too, would not ac cept it. The point is not that Massara won, after a match almost as exciting and as full of thrills for the golfer as was that in which Bobby Jones beat Cruik shank, also Bobbie, for the national open champion ship. What is encouraging is the spirit of true sport that marked the play of both men. Neither would win because of a mistake made by his opponent. If such #courtesy and chivalry prevailed all through the sports, no rules would make liars where only amateurs should come, and, by that same token, the two rules that were broken Sunday in the cham pionship final round would not be needed. They are only intended to control the player who is out to win, no matter how, and who will deliberately and despicably do things that decency forbids. If Gene Slattery had been less of a gentleman, he would be Omaha city golf champion; if Francis Massara had been less of a gentleman, he probably would not have won. Greater than any champion ship honors is the credit due to both of these young men for the splendid example of true chivalry they displayed, for any honor is sullied by a touch of meanness, however slight, and “He that ruleth his own spirit is mightier than he that taketh a city.” WHO PAYS THE HOUSEHOLD BILLS? Now, according to the Department of Labor, man’s proud position as breadwinner and family provider is passing from him. Here are the salient points in a report just made by the department, after a survey of general scope: "In groups of low earning capacity ($13 to $20» weekly, more women than men give their entire pay to family support. "Unmarried women contribute moie extensively to home budgets than unmarried men. •'When comparable groups of men and women are contrasted, women are found to be more gen erous contributors to family upkeep than men. "Experience in occupations, numbe- of weeks employed, etc., being equal, women receive less pay than men." One of the handicaps woman in industry suffers under is the inequality in pay, and this is being taken up by various organizations for the purpose of bring ing about a fairer basis. The old argument that the man is entitled to better pay because he is the one who supports the family is attacked on the basis of the report, and a new deal all around is asked for. The facts set out are not considered final, but are being used for what they are worth, and prob ably will be modified in some respects as a result of further investigation. Yet as offered they point the change that is taking place in the social as well as the industrial and political life of the nation, fol lowing the general feminist movement. Woman is not being dislodged from any of her old strong holds, but she is making for herself new ranges of activity, and is rapidly consolidating any ground she takes over. Lords of creation will have to step lively if they expect to keep up with the ladies. The president of the harness makers says the draft horse is staging a come-back, but that old fashioned surrey is gone forever. Some consolation for both sides in this. Omaha automobile dealers and owners went about the price of gas in a very practical way, and will get results without waiting for a bunch of politicians to move. Maybe it was thp eternal fitness of things that put a socialist in the new German cabinet as minis ter of finance—a disciple of Marx to look after the marks. A negro from Alabama who i| earning $GG a week laying brick in New York says he is not going back to Dixie. His reasoning seems good. If there is indeed a bread wheat deficit cast of the Rockies, why worry about the price today? Sup ply and demand will operate some time. President Coolidge says the privacy of the presi dent today may be “likened to that of a goldfish in a globe." He is right, as usual. Plenty of rain and sunshine yet to come will help stuff Nebraska’s cribs and haymows full of feed for the wnter. We may be happy yet. Gloria Swanson does not mind appearing pub licly in pictures, but she wants her operations all to herself. Senator Moses also nominates Cal Coolidge for 1924. One by one, day by day, they are getting into line. Wherever there’s a will a way can be found— even to cut the price of gas. Anyhow, the moonshine massacre story was good while it lasted. Speed boys will do well to avoid Council Bluffs hereafter. Homespun Verse —By Omaha's Own I'od— Robert Worthington Davie I WOULD WRITE, I would write ns the melody mellows the ah When the organ its soul reveals, And touches the heart and soothes the mind, While rhythm hnlf drunkenly reels Over the sensitive threads of love. Over emotion's strings, Till the heart vibrates and the mind is mad As the maddest of living things. I would write the song of the inward beat Which charms, entrances and thrills. The song that Is felt but never sung Except by the wind and rills. If the power were mine, I would write and wine Till the Journey of life was done Alas: for 1 out but mimic the song That is treasured by everyone. HUBERT WOUTHINUTON DAVIE. tf , Presently the remnants of tfis Grand Army, worn, bent and footsore from life’s Ion* and weary march, will turn their way to Milwaukee, for th« annual reunion of the Grand Army of the Republic. Nebraska will have representation there, a few of the magnificent array of stalwart men who onto assembled to the call. In the state’a history they have had an honorable part, as this editorial of Mr. Rosewater’s, published on the evening of September 18, 1880, will ! attest; "THE SOLDIERS- REUNION.” "War lias her victories, but peace has greater ones. The reunion of veterans of the war of the rebellion, just concluded at Central City, was a most significant and eloquent wit ness to the patriotism of the nation s soldiery, the self-sacrificing love of country which still fires their hearts, but, more than all, to the stability Hf our national government and the sterling worth of our citizen soldiery, which made the close of the war and the ret urn of the country to peace and quiet the wonder and admiration of the world. "In 1865, when 500,000 veterans, bronzed with the suns and rains of four years' warfare, marched through the streets of Washington for their final review, many hearts were filled with anxious forebodings for the fu ture. What would become of such a vast body of men who for four years had left their farms, factories and counting houses, who had thrown aside the plow to take up the sword? From producers they had suddenly become consumers, und »\)eir places at home were filled by others, who labored to provide means for the pros ecution of the war. Grave fears were entertained for the peace of the countrj Rome's greatest blows to civil government were given by the hands of her own soldiery after the close of victorious campaigns. Eu rope had felt the force of attack from her veteran battalions, who, under lead of victorious generals, had seized for themselves the fruits of their own victories, and usurped the government which called them Into existence. , '•History affords no parallel to the dispersion of the union army at the close of the war of the rebellion. As quickly as they hud risen at the call of their country they sank out of ex istence. Returning to their homes, they either began anew to make for themselves places for the prosecution of the arts of peace, or. turning their faces west, they set out in a new soil to win their way among stran gers. To the soldier element as much. If not more, than to any other the gfeat west owes her marvelous de velopment and prosperity. At Central City. representatives from nearly every state in the union answered to the roll call of the veterans. Gur ablest lawyers, our most enterpris ing citizt ns, farmers whose homes and lands are the pride of our slate, merchants whose integrity and busi ness activity are no less dear to their neighbors than to the state at large, men holding office of trust und honor to which they have been raised by the franchise of the people, gathered together to recall the stirring scenes of the past and rejoice in the pros perlty of the nation which they helped to preserve. "Nebraska contains within her borders tnoro than 15.000 veterans of the late war, men who at the call of their country offered their lives in th<* service, men whose patriotism, called forth in time of war, has never been allowed to die awav when vic tory has placed the crown on their brave endeavors. Such men are a living monument to the stability of our government and the wisdom, of its founders. While they live the exisence of the nation In the unity and the development of the country In Its prosperity are fully assured. At every reunion they present s spectacle which may well cause con gratulations and grateful ndmlration to all mankind, the spectacle of war riors who once preserved a nation, now In pursuit of the nrts of peace, building up the structure of state and perpetuating the blessings of freedom to the generations yet to come.” ODDS AND ENDS. The age of domesticating birds as pets is lost In antiquity. Klres In peat lands sometimes burn for years through rain and snow un less checked by man. When rock Is relatively dry It Is not greatly damaged by exposure to freezing. Fifteen billion persons rode on tho electric railways of tho United States last year, according to the Pennsyl vania public service Information committee. This was 15,000,000 over tho previous year.

Reader* of rhe Morning Bn aro invited to um this column freel* for gxprsMlon on matter! of public Interest. Organization the Farmers’ Remedy. Blackwell, Okl.—To the Kditor of The Omaha Bee: The greut farm con ferences have come and gone. Rep resentative men from five different states have met in Wichita to discuss the problems of the farmer, and yet they have not suggested any remedy except diversified farming. As a farmer, I don’t believe diversified farming will have any tendency to relieve the situation While 1 am willing to admit that It is proper for a farmer to have his garden and truck patch for the maintenance of his family, yet X never saw any indi vidual succeed that continually had too many irons in the fire. Did John D. Rockefeller diversify his interests or did he concentrate them on oil? Did Henry Ford diversify his interests by investing his money in a store, a bakery, or a hundred other mercan tile interests, that he could have in vested his money in? or did he utilize his efforts toward manufacturing one automobile? And the same thing can be said of John Wanmnaker or John B. Stetson. He did not manu facture anything except hats. While he could have manufactured every part of wearing apparel a person might need. The farmer’s remedy lies within himself and Is within his own hands and that is organization. The facts are that the farmer is the only class that has no organziation and yet is organized to death. We will never succeed by trying to tear down other business enterprises or by co-opera tive marketing, or by 100 per cent pooling plans. We have had, the farm conference, we have had the farm bloc, we have had the great farm bu reau federation, the grange, and we havtT had (Senator Capper and his anti-gamhiing bill and his co-operative marketing bill and. in spite of all of them and the wonderful things they were going to do for the farmer, the farmer himself is in a worse condi tion than has ever been known in his tory. The farmers’ remedy lies in organ ization. And it must be an organiza tion of the farmers, by the farmers, and for the farmers. And it must be an organization for the purpose of putting all the products that the farmer produces on a paying basis, and when such an organization is completed the farmer will set the price on corn. hogs, cattle and wheat and everything that he produces, ile will figure cost of production plus a reasonable profit on the same princi ple that other business firms conduct their business. Now they say we cannot do it, but I know we can. It is just a question of whether we will or not. The time has come when the farmer must organize into just such an organization or else he is going to become a tenant on his own farm, and this great government of ours is going to he plunged into disaster and ruin. It is not onlv our duty as farm ers. but our duty to our familbs and our patriotic duty to our government to organize and put the farmer and his business on the high plane where It belongs. T would he glad to hear from anyone that will help promote an organization of this kind. W. K. KNAPP. 1 A Book of Today 1 "THK STORY OF FLY I VO—AIRCRAFT \ K.AH HOOK. 1923."

Whatever becomes of the intellec tual prodigies that year by year we hee completing the college and uni versity courses of our country and entering the wide ways of business and professional life? Korely do we bear of the '‘honor" men and women of our American schools once they have left the academic shades W learning. The 10 talent people seem to excej only during the period of preparation. It is the one talent man that achieves the greatest dis tinction In this old world of hard knocks and constant endeavor. More than a century and half gone by a little Scottish lad sat on the dunce stool In a school of Alpine. Hardly a day passed that he was not humiliated In the cruel fashion of his time by lieing proclaimed a dullard and forced to wear the cap of a dunce before the other pupil* But there is not an English-speaking school in Christendom today that does not teach the classics that later came from the pen of that Scottish dunce. The words of Walter Scott are read and loved w’herever the English lan guage is spoken. Years ago there was born amid the bogs of Ireland a child of so little promise that his parents neglected to record the date of his birth. He was sent from one place to another, neglected by his closest relatives, and grew up only as he couid. Finally he was sent to British India, so long the dumping ground and hiding place of Britain's most unpromising sons. But there came a fated day In history when civilization itself seemed to de pend on the cool brain of that one talent man. and In the bloody squares of Waterloo the world accepted the duke of Wellington as one of history’s most commanding figures. One talent was sufficient for Pa ganini. It is said that he was fond of tearing three strings from his vio lin and producing from the one re maining string the most exquisite melodies. "One string and Paganini” was hts boast as he held large au diences under the spell of his music. And if we visualize the Indian mas ter performing miracles on the one remaining string of his violin we may understand in a way why one talent is sufficient to reach the heights. It Is a glorious thing to possess many talents, but one lalf-nt is suf ficient in what we call the grim bat tle of life. Probably if Scott had possessed many talents. "Ivanhoe," "Kenilworth" and "Wavt-rly” would yet remain unwritten. If Wellington had been born with many latent gifts, another man would have led the al lies at Waterloo. If PagAnlni had been a many-sided character he prob ably would have ranked with village fiddlers. Each of these celebrated characters found only one talent in his possession, but each placed all the energy and resolution he could com mand behind that talent and devel oping that talent to tH» fullest ex tent became one of the noted charac ters of history. \ Jingo Admiral. From th* Wichita Eagle. On the im anion of the atjniversury of the beginning of the world var there was a general peace movement with the slogan and object staled thus: "No More War.” In the United States the slogan for this year was made, "Law, Not War,” thus em phasizing the popular favor of the League of Nations' world court as an arbitrator of International differ ences. As an antidote for the doctrine of peace thus spread, the organized jingoes held several notable meet ings and talked of the glories of war and the sanctity of bloodshed. The center for Jingo activities was Wil liamstown. Mass., where several of these jingo meetings were addressed by several of the most shameless ad vocates of violence. Among these none was quite so vigorous In setting forth the doctrine that might makes right as was Rear Admiral William L Rodgers, chairman of the general board of the United States navy. Here is the gem of Admiral Rodg ers bloodthirsty harangue: “War Is the agency whereby law is made to prevail when it Is disputed by evildoers, be they individuals or nations.” Of course nobody could conceive of a victorious nation being in the wrong, l^aw is mad** to prevail when it Is disputed by evil-doers. Ttie loser is always the ^vil-doer. The evil-doer stating it otherwise, is always the loser. If Germany had won the re cent war—as she very nearly did— Germany would have been right, and would have been making law prevail against evil-doers, according to this great Jingo's philosophy. Armenia always Is beaten in every conflict with the Turk. The Turk carries on war against the Armenian all the time, and the Turk prevails. So the Turk NET AVERAGE CIRCULATION for July, 1023, of THE OMAHA BEE Daily .72,472 Sunday .75,703 Does not inr’ude returns, left overs. samples or papers spoiled fr printing and includes no special sales. B. BREWER, Gen. Mgr. V. A. BRIDGE, Cir. Mgr. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 4th day of August, 1923. W H QUIVEY, (Seal) Notary Public1 must be right and the Armenian must be the evil-doer. For war never is the agency whereby wrong is made to prevail by evil-doers. Certainly not. According to the logic of this uni former marketer of inspired nonsense the possession of power make* th* possessor right in everything. Yet one of our own greatest poets has pictured “Jttght forever on the scaffold: Wrong forever on the throne.” The poet must be wrong, as poets always are. No wonder poets so often are on the scaffold, then, and never on the throne Right must be on the t. rone at all times, because it takes might to keep one on the throne, and might makes right, never wrong. War is the agency whereby law, not evil, 's made to prevail when it is disputed by evil-doers, It seems strange that such obvious bunk as this Is believed and respected as doctrine by any man who has a head on his shoulders and sense pnough to feed himself with a fork. Rut so It is. Here is a big, handsome admiral, with a neatly pressed suit and a lot of gold braid on it, putting out this kind of whangdoodle with a serious eoountenanee, and being po litely applauded for It by a little gToup of Massachusetts tea fighters. We have her*- a curious thing, the human race. It is worthy of study. Cooliilge Talks on Success. From the Ksneae City Star Nearly 10 years ago Calvin Coolldge. elected president of the Massachusetts senate, made an address which was reprinted in The Star yesterday. It reveuls practical knowledge of life and straight thinking. One para graph is particularly noteworthy: "The people cannot look to legis lation generally for success. Indus try, thrift, character, are not con ferred hv act or resolve. Govern ment cannot relieve from toil. It i can provide no substitute for the rewards of service. It can, of course, care for the defective and recognize distinguished m»rit. The normal 'must care for themselves. Self-government means self sup port.” Mr. Coolidge might have spoken Abe Martin It wuz rumored this mornin’that Tell Binkley’s business had gone t’ th’ dogs, but when he wuz inter viewed on th’ links t’day, he refused t’ deny or confirm th’ report. “We much prefer a girl baby,” said Mrs. Art Smiley, t’day, “ ’cause girls 'll raise ’emselves.” Copyrlsht. IMS. .hese words with the precise situation )t Ilf23 In view. At a time when there « so much disposition to turn to the government for help, it Is well that a national leader give the warning that people must work out their own suc cess. that they cannot expect It to be handed to them by the government. t" 1 l HAVE The Omaha Morning Bee or The Evening Bee mailed to you when on your vacation.

Over the last ten years, while prices of all com modities were soaring, Goodyear Tire prices have been kept consistently low. Today, Goodyear prices are 37% below those of 1920, and 30% below those even of 1914.
