A murder was committed at Sarajevo, the cul prit was arrested, tried and punished. But the thing did not stop there. An ultimatum was sent from one government to another. It soon was followed by other ultimatums, ahd for over four years the world was shaken and torn by war, millions of lives were lost and billions of treasure expended or de stroyed because one nation felt its honor hurt and another refused to submit to humiliation. Has the world learned the lesson? Apparently not, for here is Italy sending an ultimatum to Greece, demanding that the latter humble herself to the dust because the former feels insulted. An expression of regret, punishment of the murders who slew the Italian commissioners, and reparation for the crime is not enough. Greece must grovel, the alternative presented by Premier Mussolini being war, to start without any unnecessary delay. Italy has been in sulted. Ultimatums! Have they not already cost the world dearly enough, that we must go on, paying in blood for satisfaction to national honor. Just now Italy’s fleet is under sail for Piraeus, to receive the salute demanded from the miserable little bunch of obso lete vessels the Greeks call a fleet. What a farce! A salvo from the Italian fleet will end the Grecian navy in all but name, and then will honor be satis fied? Must blood always flow, and misery, famine, plague and pestilence march to satisfy honor? Or will the time come when honor will be better engaged in settling these matters by some other means than war? Neither Italy nor Greece can afford a war, no matter of how long or short a duration. Greece is abject, crushed by defeat from Turkey, humiliated by the peace greater powers have forced her to ac cept, and now must pay still more that Italian honor may be appeased. Has Greece no honor, and no spirit? Suppose Greece should imitate Serbia and declare it is better to die than to submit to the terms pro posed—and if honor is to be the guage, then Greece would look much better dying for honor than livinp without—what then? Is Italy ready to flout world opinion and bathe in blood, the wound she feels be cause certain of her nationals were slain by Greeks? If the League of Nations has power to prevent a war, here is the chance to show it. Italy and Greece are members of the league, subject to its decisions and actions because of their acceptance of its prin ciples and purposes. Can the league interpose be tween its members, and by such interposition evade a clash of armies? One thing the world needs just now is a set of statesmen who can adjust international disputes without using ultimatums. DYEING FOR THE ARMY. When McKinley called for volunteers in 1898, the American army had what was thought to be a perfectly good uniform. It was blue, of two or three different shades, with stripes of red, yellow, green and orange to separate the corps. Experience had condemned it for field service, though, and the boys in blue became the boys in brown for the campaign at least. Blue hung on for peace time wear, until the World War, and then khaki became the perma nent color. That is khaki was the order of the day, but it is not a permanent color yet, as the various shades of clothing worn by the men under General Pershing will testify. However, the general commanding, as well as a lot of those under him, have grown tired of seeing everything from dingy white to dusky brown mas querading as khaki. Consequently the cotton millers of New England and elsewhere have been put to the job of hunting up some stuff that will not crock or fade, so that the clothing issued to the men will lpok just the same in the fall as it does in the spring, or the other way round. Dyeing for the army is to be as permanent as when the same word is spelled without the little “e” stuck in. A lot of combinations are giving the quarter master’s department as much worry as they are causing the cloth makers, but it is well to get this matter settled and out of the way before another great war comes around. The 4,000,000 men who lined up in the A. E. F„ whether they got overseas or not, wore a lot of disreputable looking garments, and this should not be permitted to happen again. Other nations have fast dyes, and we should have some of our very own. Only one suggestion is made here. Do not load the uniforms with brass orna ments, as the Canadians did. The Canucks put on a bit of brass wherever they could stick it, so that the unhappy wearer of the uniform might employ his otherwise idle moments shining up the brass, and therefore would have no time to grouse. CHARMED BULLETS HIT. THEIR MARK. Thousands of Omaha folks sat in deathlike silence In a darkened theater, racked by the incessant thump of a tomtom, waiting for the end of Emperor Jones, who could be slain by a silver bullet only. They knew that he was going to be slain, and they felt it would be a silver bullet that would end his life. He had impressed on the ignorant natives that his life was charmed and he could not be killed by or dinary means. Folk lore teems with such tales, especially of the “were wolf" variety, where the evil witch is slain by the charmed missile. Let us now turn to the modern, highly civilized city of New York, and view the spectacle of Charles D. Thoms, 25 years old and highly connected, try ing to overawe a policeman by threatening him with a gold-plated revolver, which was loaed with gold plated bullets. Woyld it be fair to the young man to believe that he thought a special virtue lay in \ his fancy weapon and its expensive ammunition’ Perhaps not, hut if he did, he found himself sadly mistaken, for he was hauled away to explain to the judge. The ridiculous part of it all is that the trouble arose in a dispute with a garage man over a difference of $5 in his charge for services to Thoms’ car. The only time gold bullets are of any real service rgainst police or the like are when they are em ployed in something like happened in Chicago early in the week. A wealthy youth was saved from a mob by police, his offense being an assault, on n young girl. When his case was called in the police court no one appeared to prosecute. Some quick footing had been dene by Homebody. “THE CITY THAT’S KNOWN AS SHY-ANN.” “Who is this here Yakima Canutt?” asked the old cowboy, after he had read an announcement that Yakima aforesaid had declared that all future cham pion cowboy games should be held in New York. The last syllable of his name is well chosen—“nut.” New York has just been looking at a “rodeo” exhibiting at Madison Square Garden. It has attracted enough attention this year to make it profitable in a sense, but several riders and ropers, male and female, are yet nursing painful memories of their experience in New York last season, when the show did not go over. No matter about this. Cowboy sports are for the open, for the range, sky-bounded and horizon staked. These riders know almost nothing of four walls and a roof, their skyscrapers are low built shacks and hay stacks, and their paved streets are the trails that lead across ranges that are unsullied by fences. Their street lights are wonderful stars that shine through an atmosphere unblemished by dust, under a heaven whose blue only nature lovers can understand. Only under such conditions is a real rider developed, and only under ^pch can he live. Cheyenne is of the west, a part of the west, in separable in song and story from the life of other days that is reproduced year after year in the Fron tier Days exhibitions. Here the true blue sons and daughters of the west gather, to show one another. That “foreigners” and “dudes” come to look on is merely incidental. The competitors in the strenuous games are not performing for the public. They are trying their own skill and strength against that of others in their line for whom they have a most pro found regard- Frontier Days trials are the culmina tion of many other competitions, held all the way from Brownsville up to Billings and beyond, and are of importance because America’s best assemble there to do their utmost to win. Gate receipts are the last thing these reqj rough riders think of. No taint of commercialism has sul lied their fine spirit, and we hope it never will. New York may stage its “rodeos” indoors, and provide all the thrills circus riding is capable of producing. But until the prairies and the mountains, the rivers and the skies of the great west can be transplanted east of the Hudson, the championship contest will continue at Cheyenne. RARE GEMS FROM RICHEST INDIA. The death of the son of Gopal Rao, maharaja gaekwar of Baroda, who in first accounts was con fused with his father, has given occasion for ac counts of the enlightenment, philanthropy, and de votion to the British empire of this native ruler. One of if not the wealthiest of Indian nabobs, he has exhibited all the fine.qualities of the upper class of his native land, together with the polish of Eu ropean culture, and has long been a commanding figure in the affairs of the empire. His devotion to England rests in some degree oh gratitude, for he was placed on the throne by the empire in lieu of his cousin, who had made the mistake of being de tected in an effort to poison the British high com missioner. Baroda has long been a seat of culture, with many educational institutions, both native and Eu ropean in character, and as the capital of one of the richest, although not the largest states in the In- j dian empire, it affords its ruler, who is responsible only to the British for his actions, a splendid oppor tunity to exhibit his personal qualities. Gopal Rao is a distinct departure from precedent. This is probably due to the fact that he is not in direct line, but from a collateral branch of the ruling family. Gaekwars before him had been noted par ticularly for their extravagances and their vices, practicing all the oriental forms of depravity with few of the virtues. A man who could devote his unlimited private re sources to the amelioration of the conditions under which his people live, spending his life in good works, when he has such examples of personal in dulgence to justify him in luxurious ease, deserves more attention than this one will get. Such in stances are rare eaough in India’s long history, so filled with stories of monarchs whose might has been their subjects’ misery, and one who makes a record otherwise “shines like a good deed in a naughty world.” Red Oak is setting up as a Gretna Green for Nebraskans who are in a hurry to wed, but our peo ple are finding out that the new law is not such a terror as they thought at first, and so the good old custom of getting married at home is rapidly re covering its sway. Nothing could be cleaner than the water that now comes out of the faucet in Omaha, at least as far as appearance goes. It will be well, however, to wait for word from “Old Doc” Pinto before drinking it. Hi Johnson is going back to see how the horns folks are getting on, and he may talk a little politics on the side. He is watching Herb Hoover mighty close th^se days. A test well for oil in the Goshen Hole of Wyoming is now down more than a mile. Another mile and it may reach the point already reached by the Ger man mark. Ben Marsh came a long way to capture the Omaha labor unions for the farmer-labor party, but what is he going to do with the left-wingers? Cleveland wants the republican convention as a memorial to Harding. Will the promoters guarantee the vote of the state to the nominee? Cal Coolidge is trying to find out what is in the minds of most people, and that is a pretty good sign in a president. Homespun Verse —By Omaha’s Own Poet— Robert Worthington Davi« COURAGE. £ would mnny steps retrace Across the shadowland of Joy, And Raze upon a carefree face— The picture of a little boy— Myself, myself In faded days! I'd smile and I would heave a sigh. And yet to leave the chanceful ways Would take a bigger tool than I. Not that I seek distress and strife, Nor value low the days of yore— I'd choose the greater things In life E’en though my youth I might restore; I'd fight as I have need to do, For fighting seems the major part Of living If the man he true, To all that surges through his heart. I'd fight the battle of the years, And strive to keep the world a friend; I'd laugh above the hidden tears, And ho a soldier to the end— And even then my dreams revere of care free youth. They need not be Subordinate, or yet too dear To quell the might of man In me. “The People's Voice" Edlterlali frort* rtadin ot Tl»g Morning Bon.

Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: The following quotations are taken from "My Life and Work,1, by Henry Ford, and give us a glimpse of his keen insight into our money system: “We have a single track money sys tem; it is a mighty fine system for those who own it; it is a perfect sys tem for interest collection, credit controlling financiers who literally own the commodity called money and who literally own the machinery by which money and credits are made. I can criticize the prevailing system of industry and the organization of money and society from the stand point of one who has not been beaten by them. As things are now or ganized, I could, were I thinking only selfishly, ask for no change. If I merely wanted money the present system is all right; it gives money in plenty to me. But I am thinking of service. The present money system does not permit of the best service becauso it encourages every kind of waste—it keeps men from getting the full return from service, "The Declaration of Independence is not a business charter, nor the constitution of the United States a commercial schedule. The govern ment Is a servant and never should be anything but a servant. The mo ment the people become adjusted to government then the law of retribu tion begins to work, for such a rela tion is unnatural, immoral and in human. Business and government are necessary as servants, like water and grain, as masters they overturn the natural order. The welfare of the country is squarely up to us as individuals; that Is where it should be to be the safest. Governments can promise something for nothing, but they cannot deliver it. They can juggle the currency as they have done in JSurope (and as bankers have done the world over as long as they get the benefit of the juggling), but it is work alone that will continue to deliver the goods. "Most men feel—even If they do not know—that money Is not wealth. There is no reason why a man who is willing to work should not be able to work and receive the full value of his w'ork. There is no place in civ ilization for the Idler. In my mind nothing is more abhorrent than case, none of us have a right to ease. That our present money system (the fed eral reserve bank system) Is a satis factory basis of exchange is a matter of grave doubt. If the present faulty system is more profitable to a banker than a more perfect systent would be, apd if that banker values his few re maining years of personal profits more highly than he values the honor of making a contribution to the life of the world by helping erect a better system, the gist of my objection is that it tends to become a thing of It self and blocks instead of facilitating production. "The people are thinking about the money question, and If the money masters have any information to give which they think the people ought to have to keep them from going astray, now Is the time to give It. Those who believe that the people are so easily led that they would permit printing presses to run money ofT like milk tickets do not understand them. "The present money system Is not going to lie changed by speech-making or political or economic experiment; It Is going to change under the pressure of conditions—conditions we cannot control and pressure we can not control. These conditions are now with us. The people must be helped to think naturally about money. They must be told what It is. and what makes it money, and what are the possible tricks of the present system which puts nations and people under control of the few. "The peoples of the world made a mistake, which has cost them genera tions of financial slavery, when they consented to make gold a basis for the issuance of currency They fail ed to see that, because gold is scarce —there Is only about 110.000,000.000 worth of It in the whole world—Its total supply can be controlled, can be got under the dominance of the one interest or group of Interests, and thus the currency and capital of the whole world controlled. "Money after all Is extremely sim ple, a creature of law. It is part of our transportation system. It Is a simple and direct way of conveying goods from one person to another, and when it does what it was Intended to do It is a help and no hindrance. When a dollar is not a dollar, when the 100-cent dollar becomes the 65 cent dollar, then the 50 cent dollar, then the 47-cent dollar, as the good old American gold and silver dollars did. what Is the use of yelling about '(heap money,' 'depredated money ? A dollar that stays 100 cents Is as necessary a»s a pound that stays t6 ounces or a yard three feet. The bankers who do straight banking should regard themselves as naturally the first men to probe and under stand our monetary system. Then there Is no way of preventing a ' lash of interests. But It Is safe to say to the selfish financial Interests that fight to perpetuate a system Just heenuse It profits them, their fight Is lost and banks will no longer be masters of Industry, they will be servants of industry. Banking will not be a risk but a service, and the profits of their operation will go to the community they serve. "The poverty of the world Is seldom caused by lack "f goods, but by a 'money stringency.' Commercial com petition between nations lends to rivalry which in turn breeds wars; thus war and poverty, two groat pre ventable errors, grow out of the money question. A beginning toward a l.ctter method can be made; every thing Is possible, 'faith I* substance <if thing* not RPfnV’ BOY M. HAkuor. 01)1) BITS. Fish are always sold alive In Japan.

( Those who are still working to secure the use of the great water courses of the middle west for the carrying of commerce know they had eminent leaders In the past, whose efforts, unsuccessful though they toere then, have left traces that serve well as guides now. On December 2. 1880, Mr. Rosewater wrote this editorial, voicing what was then the aspiration of the public Interested. “THE RIVER OL'TLET.” “The thinking portion of the whole country are directing their attention to water transportation and the im provement of the water courses of the country. No one but a western farm er, merchant, or shipper can fully ap preciate the immense Importance of an early opening of the great water ways of the continent to trade and commerce. Successful navigation of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers would add millions a year to the wealth of the country In the savings snatched from the hands of ruthless monopolies. Every year makes the surpassing Importance of river Im provement more apparent. Gigantic consolidations are, hydra-like, wrap ping their iron grasp around the pro ducers of the great west. Immense sums of money are being spent to in fluence legislation, and prevent the people from employing the remedy of the law against their oppressors. Itates are advanced until the earn ings of the people are swept into the railro ad coffers, and trade and agricul ture lose their greatest stimulus, a fair and sure profit on the Investment. In the meantime, at our very doors, lies an agent ready to offer its gerv ires in relieving the people from their thralldom, adequate to open up new regions to agriculture and industry and capable of furnishing a perma nent check to corporate greed and monopoly extortion. “Cheap transportation is the one crying need of the great west. The river at our feet only needs a little encouragement to give the people of Nebraska permanent solution of this great problem. Other states are tak ing up the problem with an earnest determination which augurs well for their success. Kansas City is organiz ing a line of barges between that city and St. Louis. St. Louis merchants have taken preliminary steps towards furnishing ample transportation facili ties between that port and New Orleans. Now let Nebraska take its part in this great movement. The general government alone can make adequate improvements on our great water ways, but we can not expect congress to act until we have shown a disposition of our own to deal with this great and Important subject. “A few years will doubtless witness the arrival of ocean steamers on the Mississippi as high up. perhapB. as St. Louis. All the developments of naval architecture are now In the line of light draught vessels, and a steamer drawing only six feet of water, built on the model of the Livldia, Is a possibility of the future. Should such provt to be the case, our Inland cities will become por_ts for the shipment of western products to Europe entirely by water. Barge lines will become the most profitable and effective means of bringing our grains down the river to the ports of lading. Railroad monop. olios will lower their rates and colors, and be compelled to compete for traf fic. Such a future can and will be hastened |f our people will take the matter in their own hands and, by energetic work, draw the attention" of the country at large to the possibili ties of river Improvement and the consequent solution of the all import ant question of cheap transportation.” Daily Prayer The I.ord in the etrength of my life.— Te 27:1 Our Heavenly Father, Thou hast promised us that as our day our strength shall be. We thank Thee fur Thy sustaining grace through the day that has been, and we seek Thy favor and Thy help for the day that is to Is*. Help us to tie kind to one another, and to all with whom we have to do. Suffer us not to be tempted above that we are able. May we he helpful to our fellow travelers on life's way. May our lives be guided by the spirit of Him Who said: "The Son of Man came not to bo ministered unto, but to minister, and to give Ills life a ransom for many." May we not be stumbling blocks to any, but may we walk wor thy of the vocation wherewith we have been called. May we put con science and heart Into the performing of our several tasks. We claim the promise that Thou wilt give Thine angels charge over us to keep us in all our ways. If it be Thy will, keep us through the day and night from danger and death. May we l>o pure In heart Hint we may si'e God. May our speech he such as hecometh those who have named the name of Christ.

From the New York Journal of Commerce. There is little good ever to be ob tained from an exaggeration of cur rent ills, yet that is the apparent disposition of those who profess sym pathy with the farmer in his present plight. They talk as if a low valua tion for wheat would result in dis aster to the whole of the nation when in reality wheat farming has become of recent years a smaller and smaller proportion of the agricultural indus try of the United States. Just how significant is it? As things stand the value of wheat for the whole of the United Elates in recent years was approxi mately {700,000,000, while the entire value of principal crops reported by the Department of Agriculture was $7,000,000,000. This was a percent age of something like 10 or slightly more. On the other hand, the ton nage passing over the chief of the northwestern railways has come to consist much less largely of wheat than was the case in former times and today the latter probably does not Constitute over a small percentage of the aggregate. All agricultural products passing over these lines fur nish only about one-fifth of the total traffic. It is never well to underestimate the worth of a given part of the na tion’s resources or to take it merely for its percentage position as com pared with ether products. Such mechanical estimates are seldom safe or wise. Nevertheless it does not follow merely because of unfortunats conditions to our wheat farmers that agriculture as a whole is going to rack and ruin, but rather that there is need of wise and careful reorgan ization of conditions with a view to correction of a onesided condition of production. Another Menace Eoom*. From the Brooklyn Eagle: This great and glorious country is in for a large scale charivari. Goose flesh covering wide areas may be freely predicted. In one way or an other the fates seem determined that this red blooded, warm-hearted na tion shall shiver. We may not shake with fear or exasperation over the crisis in Europe, and we may not actually freeze, as the coal miners and operators would have us do, but we are destined to have our marrow chilled, nevertheless. The Bathrobe Makers’ union has gone on strike. Without warning the nation has been, figuratively speaking, caught between the bathtub and the clothes closet with nothing in the way of protection from the cold but the heat of indignation. The bathrobe makers have quit flat, and unless President Coolidge moves quickly not a bath robe can be had for Christmas pres ents. The president may dally with the coal problem and promise sub stitutes for anthracite, but such methods will not suffice In the bath robe crisis. Bituminous and r ulm are not acceptable substitutes. We must have bathrobes. Women and children may manage I somehow, but not so the masculine contingent. The paternal bathrobe 1* not a luxury. It Is more than an every night necessity. It is the vital part of every benedick's emergency equipment. There are men, of course, who actually use bathrobes when they take baths. At least they use them in the preliminaries, for the .robes are usually found in the bath I room after the ceremony. But, prop erly speaking, a masculine bathrobe is something else. In fact, it Is sev eral other things. This man Green burg, who has led the unionists away from their tasks, uses the high sounding name "dress gowns." There are such garments, too, as all play goers know, but the bathrobe is that rare garment which is more than covering. It is armor. It is the symbol of re spectability which can be most quick ly folded about the least pretentious of masculine forms, thus imparting dignity. It is the irreducible mini mum in the way of clothing insisted upon by every solicitous wife before sending her better half out into the night to investigate mysterious noises, rescue forlorn cats, answer telephone calls, stop crying .children and other wise restore peace within the harassed domicile. As such the bath robe Is Indispensable, and no walk ing delegate can snatch It from the shivering American citizen with im punity. By Hake to Liverpool. itrom tha St, Paul Dispatch. On August 15 a fleet of 16 steel steamships will leave Chicago with mixed cargoes for the voyage by lak« and ocean to Liverpool. Here is an experiment In shipping which will bring the iakee-to-ocean waterway argument to a focus. These are rela tively small ships, necessarily so on account of the limited facilities of the Welland and St. Lawrence locks. They were built for ocean traffic and it is believed they will operate at a profit, but their cost of operation is relatively larger than would be the case with larger vessels. They will deliver their cargoes at Liverpool with charges lower than the prevailing rail and ocean rate from Chicago and that ts the point to be discussed. If this fleet can be operated euo cessfully under existing conditions, there is no question of what can be done with the larger ships which will come with the completion of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence canal Present transportation from the west is by a combination of rail and water carriers at a rate which includes the cost of rehandling. Larger vessels reduce overhead cost proportionately and can operate at a lower lake and ocean rate than Is possible to tbs small fleet preparing to sail from Chicago and still show a satisfactory profit. This is the whole argument for the Jakes to-ooean canal—the saving on the cost of transporting to market the product of the west.
