MUSSOLINI IN REVERSE. “In the interest of peace in Europe,” a very happy phrase, Signor Mussolini agrees.to get out of Corfu, starting with September 27. He will prob ably not be so prAipitate as he was getting in, but eventually he will have returned the island to Greece. Unless h* can discover another pretext for delay ing his departure. Nothing to the credit of the League of Nations in this. Whatever else that body has contributed to the progress of the world, the credit for making Mussolini sheath the sword he was brandishing so furiously over Greece goes to England. When the Italian dictator started on his short cut to empire a id glory, he overlooked one of the factors that has prime weight in his expansion problem. England backed Greece, not very effectively, but none the less openly in the mess with Turkey, while France took the Turkish end. To some extent this ’vhs "heads I win, tails you lose,” with both. France and Italy have a little rivalry in North Africa. With Gibraltar at one end, and Malta and the Suez canal at the ether, Great Britain has nearly turned the Mediterranean sea into an English lake. It would not suit the cards at all if by any turn of the wheel the Adriatic should fall entirely under Italy’s guns. .Every outward sign points to a continuance of the old-time game in Europe, with none of the old rules abandoned, and no new plays put forth. France is bent and determined to dominate the continent; England will relax none of its control to the ap-( proaches, and Italy’s bid for an equal place in the game is as futile as was her attempt to play in the old Triple Alliance, wherein Germany told her what to do and she did it However, the act of England, has preserved the world from one war that never will be missed, but there still is plenty of powder in the Balkans, and until the excitable peoples of that troublesome region can be made to understand that their private quar rels frequently affect the world outside their boun daries, the possibility of conflict is very near. That is why the debate started by Hjalmar Branting at Geneva is so tremendously important. Delegates to the Geneva meeting will serve the cause of peace and progress far better if they cease to dilate on what the League of Nations has done and set about to ac. complish some of the things it has so far avoided. AMUSEMENT FOR ALFONSO. An ebullition of military revolt at Barcelona is giving the Spanish government something to think about just now. However, it contains little of sur prise, for the Spanish army has been in a more or less continuous state of revolt for the last 10 years or longer. One mutiny after another has disturbed the proceedings of the kingdom, cabinets have been overturned, ministers defied, and even the king mild ly threatened by the politicians who wear the uni forms. How serious the present movement is must be developed by time. King Alfonso XIII is a good sportsman and not much of a politician. Not very long ago he banter ingly said, when told of a threat to dethrone him and set up a republic, that nothing would suit him better, and immediately announced himself as a candidate for president. He has lost favor first with •one side and then with the other by declining to take either very seriously; has disregarded the extreme ly formal and rigid etiquette of the Spanish court on a number of occasions, has ignored certain of the privileges of the clerical group, and made light of thtf pretensions of the military. Thus he has qualified himself to run as a popular aspirant for president, and if the people actually had a chance to register their choice, he probably would be elected. He is admired outside for his resolute habit of not getting alarmed when a regi ment or two of soldiers revolt or a cabinet falls. On the contrary, he has not laid any heavy burdens on his people, arid has seriously tried to help Spain get ahead in the world. During the war he was of tremendous service to the world by reason of the helpful attitude assumed as a neutral, and his con duct in this regard stamped him as a real man. Such a king is an asset to a people as erratic in policy as. the Spaniards have proved themselves. ___-A_ HE BROKE THE DAM TO WORDS. Woodrow Wilson’s old typewriter was rattled nto fame long before he took it to Paris to help bring forth the treaty of peace that started an era of all-around squabbling. Other typewriters have btcen very, very busy ever since, explaining the output of that one, Polks forget that there was n day when this instrument for communication was not at man's disposal. Yet around the typesetting machines there linger traditions of a time when printers stood in awe of Horace Greeley’s hand writing, while BIors of Cincinnati, Ret Clarkson of Des Moines, Charles H. Gere of Lincoln and Dr. George L. Miller of Omaha provided real tests for the skill of the compositor by the undecipherable manuscript they sent out to represent their editorial thought. It was not only the editor ami author who was •ided by the coming of the typewriter, but the busi ,• world found its L^ .ds loosened and its wings spreading farther than vision hnd reached before. Julius Caesar, it is said, had stenographers, and Na poleon Bonaparte could dictate to four secretaries at once, but in either case the work of setting down v.-hat the great general was trying to get off his chest was laborious, for each character had to be traced by a stylus of an old goosequill pen. Won der now is that the great men of the bygone days. Thomas Jefferson, for example, ever found tims to write all that ia ascribed to them, Fifty years ago Christopher Latham Sholes, horn i.i Pennsylvania and developed into a politician and r Gtor in Milwaukee, engaged his idle time in i end brought forth the first practical writing r’tcliine. lie did not reap the full benefit of his invention, hut that is neither here nor there. Man 1 : :d has been saved drudgery beyond calculation a* I'"* result of that thought, and all around the world the typewriter is in constant use. That ia why the celebration of its golden Jubilee, Just aver, waa an e\ent worth noticing AND THE FARMER KEEPS ON PLOWING. < Ben Marsh of South Carolina, who spends part of his time at Washington and the rest going about the country lecturing to audiences on the woes of the farmer, comes down on Col. Theodore Roosevelt, jr., like a thousand of brick. T. R. the younger talked to a group of farmers at a fair in New York, (elling them they are better able to run their own affairs than the government would be, calling at attention to the uncertainty of politics and dangers thnt might come from changes of administration. How do you get that way? demands Old Ben, who feels that the young m;;n is stealing his stuff. Then he goes on to outline what will come to pass when the farmers take over permanently control of the government, and there will not be any fluctuations so far as affects the farmer. So far as the Marsh calculations are concerned, or the Roosevelt suggestion, for that matter, the fact remains that the farmers of the United States are citizens of the United States, and as such are democrats, republicans, Nonpartisan leaguers,^farm er laborites, klnnsmen, or whatever else suits' their fancy. Some of them are getting mighty tired of being tied up in bundles, labeled, tagged and deliver ed. Blocs may.interests few, but the great majority feel that they get occupation and some amusment as well out of attending to their own business. Co-operation may be the salvation of the farmer; Secretary Roosevelt thinks so. The way may lie along political action, as Ben Marsh insists. Which ever way it is, when the farmer gets readg to move, he will be on his way. Just now in this part of the world he is too busy getting his fall plowing out of the fray of the corn crop. WHEAT FOR HUNGRY JAPANESE. President Coolidge has referred to the Red Cross the telegram from The Omaha Bee, suggesting that wheat and flour be sent to the relief of Japan. Re ports of increased wheat shipments from Pacific coast ports to the orient indicate that the timely bint from this office has been of service. Senator Walsh of Montana adds his approval by wiring to John Barton Payne, chairman of the Red Cross, urg ing that wheat be sent as a substantial part of the Japanese relief. The editor of the South Carolina State points out that Japanese are rice eaters, and that wheat will be a novelty to them. That is true, but every thing must have a beginning, and wheaten bread certainly will satisfy hunger. South Carolina does not produce enough of rice to satisfy the needs of the hungry millions of Japan who will be fed by Americans during the next few months. Chinese also are rice eaters, but they took very kindly both to wheat and corn sent from this country to relieve famine sufferers. We have little doubt that the Japanese will find themselves capable of assimilating food made from wheat, and some of them probably glad to get. a chance at such first class fodder. The offer was not made with any thought of changing the traditional dietary of the Nipponese, but to meet a great emergency. If western or south ern farmers had had rice in great abundance, the wheat might have been held back, but wheat in plenty is at hand, and a few months of it will do no harm to the hungry folks in the Tokio district. • WOHELO" AND MRS. HENRY. Somebody, presumably in authority, has figured out for the Camp Fire Girls a clothing schedule, by which they are to provide themselves with all need ful wearing apparel, and a rather liberal allowance of some of the articles, at a cost of not over $210 a year. Having seen a picture of the group that brought a rebuke from Mrs. Henry Ford, we are inclined to the opinion that the girls could get along on quite a little less than the specified allowance. However, the girls whom Mrs. Ford told to go back and get on more clothes were not immodestly arrayed. They were shown as wearing knickers, shoes, rolled socks, middie waists, and some of them had on overalls with the bib held up by galluses. There’s nothing wrong about that, for the girls were on a hiking trip, Something else may be said for the Camp hire Girls. Most of them fashion their own clothes, and all of them a considerable part. "W ohelo ’ means work, and the girls are early taught the useful art of the needle. The $210 list comprises articles bought ready to wear, and it will be a safe venture to predict that nearly all of the girls who get that list, and it is to be sent to every one, will reduce the budget by putting in her own efforts for some thing. Mrs. Ford had the girls all wrong when she re buked them. They are just an earnest lot of young sters, full of the joy of living, and intensely in earnest about what they take up, and their program begins and ends w*ith right living. The Omaha Chamber of Commerce is going t<* divide its membership into groups for forum pur poses. That will be all right, if the groups do not graduate into blocs. If Uncle Sam should go on and win the polo matches from John Bull, the league of nations may find itself with a real problem to look after. If this thing keeps on, the Pacific ocean will have to be closed to traffic until some oneway lanes can be charted. The girl who ran away because she was tired of Omaha will probably be tickled pink to get bark figain. Well, after having had the returns, how do you like the outcome? Jack Frost is prowling around rather early this year. One-houne or onf-horp* lcjriplature—which?

A One-House l^islalurr. • He velock Neb.—To the Kditor of The Omaha Bee: Senator Norris favors a one-house legislature of about 20 or 25 members who are to be paid about $5,000 eHch per year and re quired to be in session a good portion of the litne each year. While I have the greatest respect for Senator Norris and have always supported him, yet I am not in favor of his present legislative plan. It might eventually prove exactly what we need, but right now it presents too great a change in our methods of legislating to stand any chance of adoption by the people. 1 need not say that the question of salaries alone would at ttye present time work against the Norris plan. The cost would be substantially twice what we now pay out for support of the lower house. My plan is to abolish the stale sen ate. It is a body harmful to tlie people as a whole. It is the bulwark behind which hide ail the "big boys" —the predatory Interests who rob the people in a variety of ways. It con centrates too much power In the hands of a few men. When the "big boys” want to side-track some measure cal culated to benefit the people, ail they need is to be sure of a majority in the state senate—17 men. I'nder my plan it would require a majority of 51 to prevent the passage of measures designed to free the people from the clutches of corporation hy-lackers I. W. JACOBV. I lilted States of Europe. Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: We hear so much of peace and war. Prizes nre given for the best means to abolish war. Now American has one of the gseatest and noblest league of Nations in the world. Every nationality and race is a member of that league, the United States of North America. Now you league advocates, why do you want us to mix with the European league. We are against war, so is Canada, Mexico and South America, the Pan American league. Now. how foolish it would l>e for us to Invite trouble by mixing with tlie European muddle, with it* Mussolini, Poincare and other trouble makers? Thank Cod. the United States. Canada. Mexico nndj South America will stand united against war except in case of in - vasion. It seems that the best cure *»f European jealousy, hatred and mis trust Would bo for that continent to adopt a constitution like the United States; by this I mean that Europe form a United State* of the same, in which each nation would maintain its own local sovereignty the same as our states do. The army, navy, pos tal department and interstate water ways and others concerning the welfare of each state* should he vested upon a European congress and supreme court that would not infringe on the rights of said congress. I maintain as long as European states remain divided war will face each of these disorganized states. League of Nations or no League of Nations. European nations must get together and face each other. Let each nation discard their Bourbon diplomats and crooked politicians, and the people themselves work intelligently in start ing house cleaning. Treaties imong the** nations are nothing hut scr ips of papers. Mussolini, the premier of Italy, is nothing but another kaiser, only of I-rfitin origin Instead of Teu tonic breeding. War will last ns long as there i«» no unity of European nation.-' JES8K MAKTEL 514 North Sixteen!b Sf'-i. Solving the Forestry Question. Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Not long since along the river near Hlvervlew park t came across some men with a portable saw converting a few fallen cottonwoods into lumber. They told me it didn’t warp and could lw? used in building operations and that they found It profitable to op rate in that small manner.

"GRAND SOCIAL EVENT.” “The Silver Wedding of Colonel and Mrs. Chase.” “The silver wedding of Colonel and Mrs. t\ S. Chase wan celebrated last, evening by a very pleasant social petty at Simpson'* Hull, which, not-j withstanding the muddy condition of the street* and the rainy weather, was comfortably crowded by the many friends of the happy couple— about 250 ladies and gentlemen being present.

From tha Nebraska City Freat. Scores of automobile tourists come home with no better record of their motor vacations than the glad tidings that they ltad "covered'' 300 miles a day. as though that were an accom plishment which should be given prominenece on the front page. Tlie automobile tourist who sets out with the ambition to destroy the miles and burn up the highways is missing, something worth while. In the first place, he is putting his car closer to the junk pile, and he is making it impossible for himself or those In thV car with him to see anything along the way. If it Is the sole aim of the average tourist to establish a speed record he should use a race track, built for the purpose, and save wear and tear on his car, nerves and those who are also on the same road. George Ade. our foremost American humorist, once said there should be a law enacted to prohibit any motor ist from driving more thgn l'»0 miles a day. He spoke from the viewpoint of a man who had seen the frenzied tourists burning up the roads, and there is much truth in his plea that "Seeing America First" cannot be done at 40 miles an hour. The tourist who tries to establish a speed record does not have time or opportunity to see the country through which he passes. He might as well expect to view the glories of the old world from an aeroplane, traveling at 150 miles an hour, or the wonders of the deep from the bridge of an Atlantic liner. We have (oo much speed in Amer ica, too much hurry and hustle and worry and frenzy. Laws, of course, cannot be enacted to prevent it, hut laws can be used to prevent speeding and accidents and shattering of over strained nerves Michigan Starts Something. From tho Cblcsgo Rrtnlnf Post A law has gone Into effect in Michi gan which renders the wearer of a mask "or any other obstruction which partly conceals the face,” to quote from the Associated Press dispatch, liable to arrest and punishment of a $25 to 1100 fine or 30 days in jail. The measure al.viously was aimed at the Ku Klux Klan. In their efforts to properly Include the klannish re galia, however, it Is to be feared that ila authora have started far more trouble than they realized If the scope is indicated correctly, the rather stylish turbans which fit down almost to the noses of their feminine wearers are now unlawful In Michigan. They partly conceal the face and may fittingly 1st termed ob structions. So also are the iygh'^1 Isreil fur coats, so dreaded by hue bands who have to pay for them, and so dear to their owners’ hearts, of a winter’s day. all that can be seen over the top of one of these barri cades is a pair of blue—or brown or gray, as the case may be—eyes and a few wisps of hair. A view of tiie face is almost wholly obstructed. Nor is mere man exempt. Eei him but button his big ulster collar about his face and ears on a zero day and he becomes liable to fine and impris onment. It is pretty safe to predict that the law will be amended as soon as the Michigan women realize its scope.
