Noting that Ed Howe explained that he has no visited New York for 15 years, the New York Heralc remarks that Ed need not apologize, at least 5,000, 000 New Yorkers never having visited AtcHison a all. All of which simply means that 5,000,000 Nev, Yorkers missed a lot more than the people of Atchi son did. New Yorkers would be greatly benefited by mingling more with the people who make up the .‘-mall cities and the rural communities of the middh west. It might result in more of them getting an in spiration that would result in choosing from amonr their number when big men are being drafted to manage the big business institutions of Gotham As it is now, whenever New York wants a big mar. for a big job, it goes to the Atchisons and the Kear neys and the Emporias and the Norfolks of the mid die west to get him. A survey of the largest financial and mercantile institutions of New York City will reveal the aston ishing, and to the middle west pleasing, fact dhat a majority of the higher-ups were born and reared in the middle west. Eastern railroads are in a large measure managed by men who learned their business on the great railroads west of Chicago. The 5,000,000 New Yorkers who have never l visited the A*chisons of the west are the only ones who suffer because of it. They have missed the golden opportunity to learn something worth while about the real America. They have overlooked a chance to shed off a lot of provincialism. They have overlooked a fine chance to learn that the sun sets several miles west of Schenectady, and for two or three hours after it has ceased shining on Gothamites it is still shining on several millions of people who are keeping New York from starving to death. Ed Howe is not apologizing for not having visited New York for 16 years. He is merely making known the fact that it is mighty easy for a middle westerner to live and prosper out this way without the necessity . of visiting New York frequently in order to grow in Americanism and secure inspiration for higher en deavor. The sale of gold bricks in the Atchisons of the middle west petered out years ago, and activity in that particular line is now confined to Wall street and its immediate vicinage. The only place mid dle westerners are privileged to see or hear about the gunman is at the movies or in the newspapers under a New York date line. We opine that Ed Howe is not going to waste any time while in New York, apologizing for infrequent visits. He is going to hive a lot of fun watching the ■astern, hicks biting at bait that wouldn't make an Atchison man turn his head sideways. From his window in his hotel he will look , out and smile at the human ants below who are scurrying around as aimlessly as real ants disturbed by the carele°s footprints of a pedestrian. And when he takes his departure we of the middle west know that in a few weeks Ed is going to tell us all about it, and we’ll get a good laugh. New Yorkers may be having a lot of fun as they look down on us, but it isn't a marker to the fun we of the middle west have among ourselves when we get together and exchange our real opinions of the very serious, the wholly provincial and the always easy marks for western schemes that hive up in the cliffs of Manhattan. THE REAL QUESTION AT ISSUE. The country at large is not intensely interested in the epistolary exchange between Governor Pin chot and Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. Whether Secretary Mellon is doing all he can to enforce the prohibitory act, or whether* Govornor Pinchot is overlooking the little matter of sweeping before Pennsylvania’s doorstep, is not the question at issue. The real question that is interesting the people lies in the fact that the failure to enforce the prohibitory law as it should be, and could be enforced, means a growing disregard for all law. It is not the flood of illicit liquor pouring into the country by devious means that constitutes the real menace. It is that the flood of illict liquor reveals the disturbing fact that the American people are too rapidly losing respect for law. While state and federal officials are quarreling over responsibility for law enforcement, the boot legger is flourishing. While some governors are mak ing faces at federal officials, and federal officials are thumbing their noses at state executives, the boot leggers and the illicit distillers are reaping a harvest. It is asking too much of state executives that they enforce the prohibitory law while the federal officials permit the liquor to be withdrawn from bonded warehouses or smuggled past the awfully thin line of prohibition officials thrown along the sea coast. Enforcement of law is not alone the responsibility of duly elected or appointed officials; it is the duty of every good citizen. The habit of passing the buck in law enforcement is not the proper thing to indulge In. If one man may ignore a law because it does not suit him, another man may ignore another law. And that spells anarchy. The federal amendment puts the question square ly up to the states as well as to the federal govern ment. Governor Pirtchot’s responsibility is not one whit less than the responsibility of Secretary Mellon. And the responsibility of these two high officials is only greater than the responsibility of the private citizen in proportion as their opportunities for en forcement are greater. No law is greater than the force of public opinion behind it. And solidifying public opinion behind the prohibitory law will not make appreciable progress so long ns public officials charged with the enforce ment of the lnw are quarreling about n proper divi sion of the responsibility. Many old pictures were damaged in the recent fighting at Aix la Chnpelle, but many other venerable things have suffered in Europe within the last seven or eight years. If the world ran get along without kings, it will not greatly miss a few of their pictures. The punch board may be missed, but not mourned. WHEAT MEN ASK FOR TARIFF. Nothing could be more emphatic than the support that is given by the wheat growers to the request for a higher tariff duty on wheat. The latest endorse ment is from the head of the American Wheat Grow ers’ association, George G. Jewett, who last week con cluded a long conference with the Lowden committee at Denver. The general approval of the tariff idea is strik ingly noticeable, and is an excellent reply to the free traders, who insist on removing every vestige of pro tection to American producers. Pleas for lower rates of duty are made on behalf of those who are buying, ignoring the fact that if the‘home-made article is supplanted by the cheaper from abroad, that the home manufacturer will have to rearrange his schedule of production costs to meet the foreign competition, or go out of business. In the one case wages are reduced, in the other the pay roll is abolished. In either, the American consumer is forced to go without a lot of things he is now buying, for his purchasing power is cut down. Protection means busy workmen in America; free trade means that industry abroad will thrive at our expense. American farmers are more interested in feeding 110,000,000 people fit home than in compet ing for the privilege of feeding Europeans whose buy ing power is far less than ours. KINGS GO UP AND DOWN. • How delightfully uncertain things are in this world is well exemplified in horse racing. Just a few days ago Zev, hailed as the king of American 3 ycar-old3, raced easily away from the English derby winner, Papyrus, and brought joy to the hearts of loyal followers. Saturday, this same Zev was backed to win a great stake race at Latonia, and was in turn beaten by In Memoriam, whose chances were looked upon so lightly that he went to the post at 10 to 1 in a field of four. In a sense this parallels the spilling of the beans at Latonia on June 17, 1022, when Whisknway ran away from the great Morvich, and gave a decided shock to the backers of a wonderful horse. Race track history is full of such incidents, wherein many a horse regarded as unbeatable has follow’ed in a rival whose chances for winning seemed slight when the start was made. This is the quality that has led to horse racing being styled the sport of kings. A king’s, ransom was at stake in this race. The purse was $50,000, and the amount of money wager ed on the outcome will never be known. Some back ed their judgment, and others trusted to luck and took a chance. A great many looked on Zev as in vincible, but some must have placed an odd dollar or two on the winner, because 10 to 1 is always an allurement to the venturesome. Now the argument will begin dll over as to which is the better animal, and experts will contend with vigor and vehemence. Yet the record will Btand, and until another meeting at least Zev and My Own will have to acknowledge the temporary supremacy of In Memoriam. Where does Papyrus come in? Old Omar 'said he merely struck from the cal endar unborn tomorrow and dead yesterday. Maybe that is what the history teachers arc trying to do, but they will find men prone to look over the record made when in need of guidance for the future. Trotsky is parading his red army again, but he doubtless will follow the- example of the czar of Napoleon's time and let Generals January and February do the real fighting. A sojourning brother from California criticizes Omaha's taste in art. He may be right, but even art critics differ in views, and that is one of the ele ments of zest in the game. Uncle Andrew Mellon says so far as he is con cerned, the argument with Governor Pinchot is over. If the governor is true to form, his end of the debate will proceed ad lib. An Ohio parson refuses to take a fee for per forming a marriage ceremony. He would soon be come popular in Council Bluffs. Another royal wedding has come off in England without disturbing affairs to any great extent. The public is getting used to them. A newly made bride says her husband is some persuasive talker. She may also discover later that he is some romancer as well. Another prima donna has been found in a milliner sh&p. She will be teamed up with the latest tenor taken from a butcher’s cart. The university of Nebraska is taking care of 300 more students this year than last. The thirst for knowledge is gaining. ■ ■ ■ * —■ As long us Americans have plenty of time to watch football games and horse races, the world is not in great danger. Omaha will gladly join in giving the salute to General Upton, who now wears the star he won so well. An Omaha girl is out as a candidate for post commander of the local legion. Why not? Omaha's traffic rules are not so stringent but they surely do take a lot ^f enforcing. For orvee Jim Dahlman was not ready to talk when interviewed. Mussolini must envy Poincare the attention he is receiving. Homespun Verse —By Omaha's Own Poet— Robert Worthington Davi* THE MAN WHO BRINGS YOUR MAIL. Some deeds of men exalted are though small their worth may he, And otpern are so common that the world's publicity Shall pass them by. and thus, while these familiar thoughts prevail, I fain would bless with all my heart the man who brings the mall. , . , Nor shall he trudge his weary way to reap the most of fame, Nor shall he serve you day by day with prestige to his name; But year by year, In rain or shine, he treads the self same trail— You ever welcome him heeause he brines your morning mall. Ami you have seen him smiling though the day was dark and drear, And you have heard his cheerful voice each morning of the year; But think. O, you, that he must know life's burdens and travail, And usk yourself how much you owe the man who brings your mail! “From State and Nation” _ —Editorials from Other Newspapers— Itailruads Working I'p “Sentiment.” From rapper's Weekly. Although they continue to make a poor mouth and say they really can't help anybody, the railroads will make enough this year to pay 8.9 per cent on every share of stock they have out standing, If business continues as good for the final four months. That Is what their reports to the Interstate commerce commission Indicate. At tho same time the carriers are spend ing a quarter of a billion dollars more for maintenance than they have ever spent before In the same length of time. And still the roads are leaving no stone unturned to fasten their ex cessive rates on the public for a long time to come, if not Indefinitely. Large and small town chambers of commerce are being asked by the roads to pass a prepared set of resolu tions In which this paragraph contains the real milk in the cocoanut: . .that the present act of con gress, known as the transportation act, has not been given a sufficient trial, and that It Is the belief of this chamber that a trail of at least two years more should be given before any material amendments to the act are made.” Business men are told they are In real danger of hA v'r<g government ownership thrust a. in them If they do not sign these ieso|utlons on the dotted line and mail copies to their | representatives, that serving as well as any other bogey. But what the truRtful commercial J bodies which amiably adopt these resolutions fail to see apparently, Is (hat by subscribing to them they are signing up for two more years of higher-than war freight rates and at the »ame time are giving their tacit approval to a continuance of the so called guaranty elaifse of the act, section 15-a. by which these high rates based on a very liberal valuation, are ma'n'ained. This is a slap In the face for every country town's best customer, the firmer, who at terrible sacrifice to himself has for nearly three and a half years paid these excessive rates to sh p his less than cost products to market, when he couldn’t actually save money by lett'ng them rot. He has d- ne this to help the railroads to their feet which now are so reluctant to heln him. A set of these resolutions recently was handed to the chamber of com merce of a Kansas town for adoption. But Its mind was working. It did not adopt them. Backs I'p Man On The Job. Frnm the Boston Transcript. Backing up the rmn on the Job Is "a long stan Mng habit” with Calvin Cool Idge. ami Plutarch tells us that habit a only another name for character. In hacking up Leonard Wood as governor "eneral of the Philippines in going to his support as the representative of the United States In that far-off archi pelago. in pledging to him anew the authoritative approval of hla adminis tration and of his course as the benevolent generalissimo of our far eastern frontier. President Coolldge Is running true to form These commitments did not go from the White House until “the man In the White House” carefully studied each act of the general to which exception has been taken, and the study of each act was made In the light of the law. The law of congress, upon which the present government In the Islands rests, was the president’s guide there •1* elsewhere, then as always. Rea fl ared hy this study of the legality of 'he general s acts, convinced by his ex anarmti- n of the evidence In the case of the uns Ifish patriotism, the pre science and the sound wisdom of the getjeral’s course, the president hacked up the man on the Job at Manila; and he has Informed the Filipino politi cians there and their mendacious organs here of that all Important fact. Being on the side of the law the prerkb nt nnd the general are In an invincible majority—for "one -ith the law is a majority." But following the law and backing up the man on the job are not new tendencies In Calvin Uoolidge, they are among his dis tinguishing c ha racist Istics, It Is In fact the habit of his life K\!t The Author. From the New York Trtbuse. Mr. Znngwll! has much ^to learn ab>ut American motion pictures. Evidently he fondly Imagines that scenarios are written by the authors whose names appear on the pictures, and that the "movielred" versions of plays nnd stniies are supposed. In some respects, to resemble the orlg Inals. Ho expresses horrified surprise upon observing that a brutal fist fight has been Introduced Into the screen rendering h!s idyllic comedy "Merely Mary Ann.” A visit to Hollywood will teach Mr Zangwill a great deal about how mo tion picture scenarios are written— when they happen tp be written nt all He will discover that there are cer tain ingredients which must enter Into them, such for example, ns hrutnl fist fights where they are needed to lend excitement, chases over roofs where thrills must be Inserted nnd close-ups of ladles and gentlemen shedding tears when heart Interest appears to be lack Ing These are always put In "on th« lot ” If the director cannot find them In the scenario which some bright young Hollywood lad has rrside out of the book or play, he puts them In himself lie knows that Is what the [public experts Far be It from him to disappoint It. A movie director would not hesitate to Introduce a bootlegger Into "Ham let" or an airplane crash Into "King Lear" If he happened to think of It while the plays were being filmed He recks not of authors, who are merely people with well ndvertlsed names hired to lend the same to the pictures. He knows that he receives n big salary to "put In the punch ” The horror of the authors when they see their own work thus disguised merely amuses him He has no sympathy for It. Ills name Is going to appear on the screen In letters far bigger than the authors And he has his reputa tion to live up to. Ahead nf Time.

It was in 1S69, when the writer was a boy, that I saw a drove of antelope on the prairies of Nebraska for the first time, and the memory of them is still fresh and green. In those days the prairie grass was very sparse, growing in tufts and was dried up by July and August, for it didn't rain then as it does now. and the antelope would roam around hunting for something green to eat. They are distinguished chefly by their iight and graceful build. Their horns, which are present In both sexes, grow upward, with hack wardly directed single prongs. Their color is a yellowish tawny above, with white underneath and a white rump patch nnd a tawny collar. They have a short tail and are so fleet of foot that a horse or dog is left far behind In a chase. In the winter time, when the river was frozen over, many farmers used to go to the island, after which Grand Island is named, and haul wood anross the Ice. then hauling It home later on. So we had a big wood pile. Around this wood pile the gross was green, and the antelope used to com-e up to eat, hut were very timid and would scamper away like the wind at the least sign of danger. One day we boys sighted a drove slowly wending their way toward the wood pile. So wo fixed up a noose with a rope and laid it where they would walk over it. one of the boys hiding in the wood pile holding the other end of the rope. It was a tedious wait, for they seemed to scent danger by the way they would stick out their noses, hut they finally came up and all were busy eating when suddenly pande monium broke loose! Two had stepped into the noose and the rope was ptilled tight around the legs of an old mother and her fawn, and they all went like a streak of lightning, jerk ing the rope out of brother's hands. But the old mother and her baby were hampered In their flight, and in the rushing away of the rest of them these two were left behind. Then all of us. with the dog. started after them, the deg catching the rope in his mouth, held fhem back enough for us to catch up Just as we got hold of the rope the old one got loose and away she went. We captured the little one and shut it up until It got hungry; then It soon lnmed to take milk out of a bottle, and In a few days It became so tame It would follow us anywhere. Its body was about the size of a1 cat. Its legs a foot long and not much larger than pipe stems, and was the cutest little wild animal I ever saw It stayed with ns until It was shout half grown, then disappeared and was never seen afterward. _ E.
