NEBRASKA’S CLAIMANT. • A woman’s organization proposes building in Washington a Hall of Remembrance, wherein there jiail be 48 columns, each inscribed with the name of a state and underneath that name of some woman oT that particular commonwealth. The woman whose name is selected must have contributed something unusually worth while to her state, and must have passed on into the great hereafter. We know just who that woman is whose name shall be inscribed upon the Nebraska column in the Hall of Remembrance. She is the woman who uncom plainingly shared the burdens with her pioneer hus band during all the days when Nebraska was in the making. She saw the grasshoppers come in clouds that obscured the sun to devour the crops she had helped to plant. She saw the hot sun shining from a ky that seemed a bowl of brass, burning the growing crops to a crisp and foretelling a winter of priva tions. She nurtured at her breast the boys and girls who have since builded firmly upon the foundations laid by their fathers and mothers. She bowed before the blizzards that swept the wide prairies and un complainingly helped to do the chores about the dreary homestead. She endured without complaint the bitter loneliness of the hot summer days and the dreary months of winter. She never knew of the rural delivery, the daily newspaper, the woman’s magazine, the telephone or the mile-devouring automobile. In the loneliness t of the sod house each long winter evening she gath ered her little ones about her knee and taught them the lessons of simple faith that made for stronger womanhood and manhood. She made up for the lack of schools and teachers by calling up the memor ies of her girlhood days and teaching her little ones the simple rudiments upon which they afterwards founded the present school system of this great com monwealth. She jvas never too weary or discour aged to brighten the faltering father and husband, and her courage and devotion is attested on every page of Nebraska history. No night too dark or stormy for her to ride across the bleak prairies to usher a new life into the world or close the eyes cf a neighbor drifting away into the unknown. In the twilight of her useful life she sat by the fireside her toilworn hands had helped to create and strengthened the faith snd courage of her children end grandchildren by relating her own experiences. She made the home, around which the common wealth has been builded, and which forever must re main its chief bulwark if commonwealth, or civiliza tion itself, is to endure. Hera is the name that Nebraska should carve upon the marble column that marks this state's place n the Hall of Remembrance. MR. UNDERWOOD MIGHT EXPLAIN. Oscar Underwood’s quest for votes is entitled to •ommendation for one thing—he is out in the open, frankly seeking the nomination for the presidency on the democratic ticket. In this regard he is above his competitors, who are laying back, waiting for developments. As the pace maker, then, Senator Underwood is entitled to consideration. In his speech at Dallas, Tex., last week, he said a great many things, but did not plainly tell where he stands on any. One of his big points was an attack on the Fordney-McCumber tariff. As the - author of a tariff bill, which brought the largest measure of free trade the democrats dared attempt, even with full control of congress and the active support of the president, Senator Underwood should be qualified to speak on the tariff. It is interesting to recall, in connection with his strictures against the present law, that President Wilson recommended to the next congress after the passage of the Under wood bill that it be amended in several of its sched ules, because it had produced the opposite effect to that expected. Notably was this true in regard to sugar, one of the things on which the free trade press continually harps today. On none of the points raised is the senator specific. It would be of service if he would come out flatfooted, and tell us what he would have done. Does Senator Underwood want to throw down the tariff bars, and admit the products of all the world to the American market? Will he be happy when the wheat raisers of the west and northwest are forced to compete at home with the farmers of Argentine and Canada? As to Mr. Wilson’s fourteen points, they were abandoned by their author at Paris, and the Ameri can people in 1920 passed on the league of nations. Is the senator from Alabama sure that the voters have changed their minds on that subject. The issues raised by the only democrat who is clearly before the people as a candidate are not frankly expressed by him. Especially does his for eign program lack the quality of being definite. Senator Underwood should come out in the open on this point, as well as on his desire for votes. TOP NOTCH IN IMPUDENCE. The story of the man who sold Dave Rankin of Tarkio a span of Dave’s old mules, is a classic of effrontery. The story of the young man convicted of murdering his father and mother, and then put ting in a plea for mercy to a poor orphan, is a fairly good example of sheer impudence. But what are they as compurcd with the cheek, the impudence, the gall, the effrontery, of the brazen-faced boot legger who actually frequented the corridors of the federal building and solicited patronage for the outlawed product of the still? Lloyd George lays a wreath to the memory of Bob Lee and Stonewall Jackson, but he didn't tell fs anything about the lighting qualities of those great generals. Sir Herbet Barker of London, who has just launched a crusade against high heels, will soon And himself eligible for the He Got His Bumps club. Knights of the Full Moon are assembling at Council Bluffs. Once this might have meant some thing. TAKING THE JOY OUT OF THE MOVIES. Whatever may be involved in the closing down of two great moving picture concerns on the Pacific coast, there can be no question as to how it affects some thousands of men and women. The Famous Players-Lasky and Laemmle studios are closed in definitely, for the purpose of reorganizing the indus try, according to the announcement of the managers. What brought about the necessity of this action is not to be discussed here. The accompanying fact is that some 7,500 actors and “extras” are thrown out of employment, at the beginning of winter. Most of these are of the class who live from hand to mouth, and have little or no savings on which to fall back in time of unemploy ment. They have been lured from other employment by the hope of gaining fame and fortune in the world of picture-making, only to find a graveyard for their hopes in the cold awakening. Ambition leads ever over thorny paths, and none are harder or beset with more difficulties than that leading to fame in the “movies.” Tales of the sudden success of this, that or another of the favorites who flash like meteors across the screen are often heard, but little is said about the thousands of earnest strivers w'ho are disappointed, and come to rely on little parts or serve as extras, the occasional $3 a day being the sum of their livelihood. One can get just as hungry in sunny California as anywhere on top of ground, and jobs are hard to find there for those who have nothing but their ex perience as actors in mob scenes and the like to com mend them to employers. The closing down of the moving picture studios may mean reorganization to the managers, but it means tragedy to the people whose source of bread and butter is thus cut off. MANY MINDS, MANY TONGUES. Nobody knows the answer, says Carrie Chapmann Catt, discussing the attitude of America toward world peace, and she goes on to say: “There is not a human being in the United States, either In congress or at home, who knows the policy of the United States with regard to permanent world peace. It is the fault of the people. We have hounded one president to an untimely death by our critical criticisms and another to a fate worse than death. It is time we took the peace load from Wash ington and settled the question by knowing our own minds." All of which is important because it is in a large measure true. One of the difficulties in the way of agreement, and this must be quite as clear to Mrs. Catt as to anyone, is that in a country as large as ours, and with such a varying population, there is bound to be great diversity of opinion on any ques tion. Even when we were actually at war, every’ now and then somebody bobbed up who did not agree with the course the majority was taking. Then we could put them into jail, and some still are there. Since peace has come again, each is entitled to express any opinion on any subject, and the result is the confusion Mrs. Catt notes. A verdict wag rendered in 1920 on one phase of the question, but the losers declined to accept it. They have insisted on reviving on all occasions dis cussions turning on the “great and solemn refer endum,” and refuse to let anybody rest. Of course, this is quite within their rights, but until they are finally talked out of their position, or find something to take the place of the league, they will cling to it. Mrs. Catt's own group might be cited as an ex ample, for its purpose is to agitate against war, a worthy end, but provocative of the continued dis putes of which its leader complains. America is safer so long as there is free opportunity for the full expression of any idea, theory or opinion, re garding any policy, plan or project. When time for action comes, the people will move, and in the mean time talkers will talk. After noting that the German mobs were raiding liquor shops and getting spifflicated, it was only natural for the headline writer to say “Drastic Ac tion Taken to Curb Looting.” It would take more than that in some spots in this republic. After reading the list of stores taken on board by the Leviathan at Southampton, preparatory to the return trip, and noting the absence of liquor, a lot of Americans will wonder why’n the world the Leviathan should be started back at all. _ Considering the number and variety of excuses offered by arrested speedsters, it is really strange that none has offered the excuse that he was hurry ing to get to the filling station before his tank went dry. r The information that 600,000 fish are soon to be distributed by the state calls renewed attention to the previous distribution of suckers who bit on the bait of blue sky corporations and promises to re duce taxes. The Cornhuskers having developed suitable pro ficiency at stopping the other fellows, should now put in a few days trying to master the secret of getting the ball over the goal line. If the bankers cannot agree on the matter of co-operation for the farmers, why not let those who are most concerned settle it, fop themselves? ■ ■ - ■ Governor Pinchot continues his complaint that the dry law is leaking, and Pennsylvania goes right ahead in the same old way. If winter comes, Omaha’s street repair work will be far behind. Coolidge’s silence is the real golden variety. Homespun Verse • —By Omaha's Own Poet— Robert Worthington Davie GO FORTH.

Omaha.—To the Kdltor of The Omaha Bee: What has become of “Alkali Ike," the monster of west ern Nebraska? This is the creature that glides around through the lakes and across the valleys of that region, drinking a pond of w-ater at a gulp if he is thirsty, or making a large lake overflow the surrounding coun try as he settles to the bottom to take a nap, or again, acting as a ferry boat or a flouting island for the con venience of hunters. Oh, well, never mind. I-et this pigmy creature go! He was small fry anyway, hut a good advertisers. We have here, wiggling and twisting and burrowing nnd root ing right in the suburbs of Omaha, a real monster, that beats a sea serpent all to pieces: one thut stays with us all the time and one that there Is no trouble about locating, though he runs wild. This saurla, sinuous monster Is 600 feet across and a thousand miles long. He is full of all sorts of pranks and caprices. One moment, in a playful mood, he pulls the mud valve out of the water works, making all Oma ha shiver and sputter. In despair, again he takes a quarter of a section of land for lunch, and if the taste hap pens to suit his fancy finishes an en tire township at one sitting, with, perhaps, a village thrown In for des sert. When on a rampage he will wallow over a rich and fertile coun try 10 miles wide and hundreds of miles long. Omaha does not need to laugh at the superstition of the sand hills as long as she lets this creature run amuck. Here is a mighty power, that if tamed and harnessed, could carry a fleet of freighters on its back and mnke a vast territory tributary to Omaha and develop power to elec trify the farms and villages along its entire border. It is a disgrace to modern civilization that such a mighty force has been allowed to work havoc and destruction unrestrained instead of being tamed and utilized. This is a practical question and a comparatively simple matter. If our congressmen and senators were to dee that even a few crumbs of the pie that annually f*oes into the river nnd harbors bill was devoted to taming the Missouri river it would be the servant of man Instead of his dreaded foe. S. J. WOODRUFF. Inalienable Right to Speed. Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: It seems that the recent suggestion of licensing motorists, aa proposed by The Omaha Bee. is gain ing almost unanimous approval. There Is an obvious reason for this. Its most persistent supporters arc in the main those Who never drove an automobile, and are. therefore, un reasonably prejudiced toward those who do. But anyone who does drive an automobile will, after a logical analysis of this absurd suggestion, discover for himself that It Is im possible and cannot come up to ex pectations which are planned for It. It is only another instance of our peculiar mania for nonsensical legis lation. The new law would supposedly re duce speeding to a minimum. Grant ing it would. But why should the po lice department which exists, it goes without saying, to preserve public order, unshoulder this responsibility from its already very light shoulders? If the Omaha police department but did its duty in enforcing the traffic laws and ordinances now in effect, there would be no necessity for a license law. All such haphazard legislation Is an unconscious effort, perhaps, to de prive Americans of yet another lib erty. It were better If we held fast to the few liberties we yet enjoy and scorn these Insidious encroachments upon our national well being.- Such ft license law would develop Into a per nicious Instrument employed for per sonal ends by corrupt officials. Hus The Nebraska legislature ef faced the shameful murks of the brand which Its proceedings have stamped upon It? lias It recovered sufficiently to withstand another such disgrace? It. is had not. then let it avoid passing this ridiculous license law. T. A. MAGUIRE. Asks Aid of Motorists. Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: I am heartily in favor of a license law. In Michigan each member of the family Is allowed to get a license to drive the car. Again, Bos Angeles must tie quoted, where it is a pleasure to drive a car. Driving automobiles today is perhaps the greatest recreation of the American people, unless it Is tile "movies." Make motoring ns plsasant and safe as movie theaters and you will have increased business activities In and around Omaha 10 to IS per cent. Have .c committee from the leading motor car dealers In the city assist In drafting laws and ordinances to make It safe and pleasant to motor. C. B. MESER For Uniform Punishment. Omaha.—To the Editor of The Onmha l!ee: I am In favor of a state or national license law, primer!y en forced, but not one handled by our present police courts. I want to cite a case In mind. A man who has driven for eight years, never arrested or even cautioned, had two out of-> town men with him coming from the I>n down Eighteenth street, when an officer stopped them for speeding. One of his friends protested they were not speeding. Given a golden rule to ap pear at South Side next morning at K:3l) Their case did not come up till 11:30. Then they read the charge, Daily Prayer | «r* My frlrndw If y# do whatsoever I command you.—John It: 14.

The Omaha Bee welcomes letters from readers on observa tions of nature. BEATTIES OF THE SEASONS. The roses and the lilies and the blue of summer skies Are, like a ‘baby’s smile, a glimpse of paradise. A labyrinth of flowers where verdant grasses gleam Ajp beauties so inspiring, like a bit of heaven, seem. Just like the golden sunshine, rich and full and free, They come to one and all who have the eyes to see The sweetness and the splendor of such beauty rare, The gifts of bounteous summer that make the world so fair. Old Nature seems to cater to the fickle eye of man. For he. loves each season's beauties as they come again. So, the radiant skies of summer, lest he weary of the blue, Must change for winter robes of gray and somber hue. Then, like a story finished, lest he sur feit of the glow, All is covered with a blanket 'neath the shining snow. The tree tops’ rigid branches all tow ering heavenward, Thrust out their frozen lances like a million gleaming sword. Till the Joys of springtime he stands to contemplate, Shall charm his eye aesthetic, his senses satiate. Eacli change of sky and season to break the monotone. Brings its inspiration ere the other's flown. CAUOLTN' BELLE ADAMS.

W H QUIVRY, (Seal) Notary Public , “From State and Nation” —Editorials from Other Nevusjtapers— The Kansas l-abor law. from the Kansas City Times. The Kansas supreme court has or dered the WolIT Packing company of Topeka to comply with the former ord*-r of the Industrial court, in which minimum hours of labor were fixed, but not that part of the order that fixed a wage schedule [tending the set tlement of a wage discussion between the employers and employes of the company, This order of the Kansas court will bring to issue squarely the meaning of the recent decision of the United States supreme court in the Wolff case. This was the decision in which the enemies of the industrial court asserted that the law itself had been declared unconstitutional. The friends of the court Insisted that the decision of the higher court affected only the power of the industrial court to fix temporary wage schedules. Evi dently the supreme court of Kansas takes the view that only the section of the law permitting the Industrial court to fix wages was affected by tlie decision, because the order of last week restores the original order of the industrial court, minus the order fix ing wages. If the Kansas court is cor rect in this interpretation of the law and the decision of the United States court, the industrial court law has not suffered seriously at the hands of the high court of the land. The power to fix wage scales, temporarily. In cases of wage controversies would add much to the effectiveness of the Kan sas law in meeting emergencies. Still, if the wage schedule alone has been taken from the law, as the Kansas court finds, the Industrial court law will retain practically ail its poten tiality for the peaceful control of labor controversies. Prophet of a New World. From the Brooklyn Facie. The theory that all men are re placeable, that successors are always available to take over the functions anil offices of the most exalted indi viduals. is utterly demolished by the passing of Charles Proteus Steinmetz. His personality, his achievements, the quality of his mind and his position In our social and political scheme of things were unique and distinctive. Dr. Steinmetz was either a tran scendent genius or possessed of one of the best developed minds of his time. Since we know so little of what makes for genius It may be safer to ascribe his achievements to remark able Intellectual development. Cer tainly he was an outstanding example of the human capacity for great men tal growth, in spile of physical and other handicaps. The only metaphor truly descriptive of the Steinmetz brain is that of the dyamo. Yet his force was not merely dynamic. It had the rare qualities of compre hension. control and direction. As an electrical engineer and in ventor, Dr. Steinmetz combined exact knowledge of electricity with a mas tery of mathematics. Transcending mere knowledge, however, was his power of imagination, whirh made it possible for him to bridge gulfs be tween the known and the undiscov ered in the realm of science. As a matter of fact, his main endeavor was in making a real science of the use of electricity. His wizardry lay in Ills mastery of this mysterious force. But concentration on problems in electricity did not fuily occupy his mind. He was a profound thinker in many fields of knowledge. He car ried the force of scientific thinking Into the realms of sociology and poli tics, with results strange to our en vironment- He was a radical whom conservatives delighted to honor. He called himself a socialist and loaned the prestige of his name to that movement, yet he was as far ahead of socialist politicians as they Imagine themselves to l>e ahead of ''capital ism.” Steinmetz saw that in the fundamental business of producing the things indispensable to civilization true socialism and capitalism have Identical aims. Dr. Steinmetz denounced radical politicians and the short sighted labor leaders who would plunge us pell-mell into government operation'of public utilities and the uneconomic curtail ment of production. At the same time he made himself the champion of a four-hour workday to be based upon the development of mechanism, He polled over 200.000 votes in New YoVk City as candidate for state engineer, but denounced the idea of voting for and against men we do not know. His ideas on education and on mu nicipal government were far advanc ed, but he was not impatient of the present system and served his own community as head of the board of education and president of (he com mon council. This Immigrant boy, who landed here penniless in 1**9, was a patriotic American in the larger sense. He believed in America and in America's future. He believed that Kurope will eventually adopt the collectivist sys tem now being built up in Russia But lie was quite as firmly convinced that we will hold to"~our individual lam. He was a scientist who believed in the compatibility of science and God. He had faith in the common man and in the potentiality of the common man to lift hirnaelf to ever higher levels. He was, in short, a vital and forceful man of his time and one who made many valuable contributions to the life and thought of his generation. But he was. as scientist and philosopher, primarily % prophet of a new world that must come when men once more take up their march toward a brighter future. — Joy In Religion. From th« Washington Post. Of the effort* to increase the influ ence of religion reported from differ ent sections of the country, none has comparatively proved more effective than that offered us by 8t. George's Episcopal church in New York. Time was when there wa* general convic tion that one could not be long on re ligion without being long in face; that devoutness and happiness were irre concilable; that those who prayed must forego smiles; that reverence called for austerity, and that faith and plea sure did not go together. But times have changed. Religion has come to be viewed by many of Its votaries as something not only to die by. but to live by—in pleasure, happiness and laughter as well as in pain, sorrow and tears. The festival staged by the New York church was widely Inclusive, both as to appeal and entertainment. All other J sects were invited to co-operate In | putting it on and to participate in en joyment of its offerings. Dancing. ' motion pictures, music and other forms of entertainment made for the pleasure of those in attendance and the Joinder of other sects made for fraternity of spir.- and sociability.

All who realize that God created happiness and pleasure and endowed man with ability to enjoy life realize that gladness of spirit is not to be discounted as a manifestation of religious spirit. The notable success of the New York festival bears testi mony to the strength of appeal in a religion that admits of happiness and pleasure. If the churches would have larger congregations, they would raise the shutters and let in the sunlight. St. George's church has set an ex ample along this line. Too Good.
