Peopl* will do well to remember, in connection with the oil scandal, that, to quote the words of the Kansas City Times, “it is men, and not parties, that are guilty, and it will be men and not parties that will be punished.’’ Partisan agitators are seek ing with t.ll zeal to make it appear that the repub lican party is culpable, arid that President Coolidge will be repudiated by the people as a result. Whatever the political future of Calvin Coolidge may be, it will be to the everlasting shame of the American people if his prospects turn on the mis deeds of men for whose presence in high position he is only indirectly responsible. He inherited the cab inet. Rather than upset internal party arrange ments he asked the members to retain their offices. But he has done more than that. He has set about energetically to run down and fix the blame for any corruption that may exist in government. More than this no man in any party could do. I.ess than this no honest man would think of doing. Calvin Coolidge will do his duty, regardless of any clamor that may be raised by any group. * * * Votes taken in the senate and m the house show that the republican party es such is not in control of either branch of congress. Men who were elected to office as republicans are voting with the demo crats in sufficient number to carry through demo cratic plans. These so-called insurgents or progres sives are clearly within their personal rights. It is a fact to keep in mind, however, they are opposing the policies of the party with which they at least pretended to affiliate when seeking votes. We have no mind to impugn their motives. They doubtless regard themselves as patriots, and feel they have done right in lining up with the democrats as against the president. The democrats were bound by caucus agreement to oppose whatever Mr. Cool idge sought or recommended. This course is ex pected from the opposition party. It is one of those features of partisan government that has in it both good and bad. It is regretted at this time that the majority can not also present a solid front. The democrats are planning for a national campaign, and the insurgent republicans are assisting them, just as they have in other days. * * * ? Having “lynched” Secretary Denby, the senators are now bent on applying the same course to At torney General Daugherty. We hold no brief for the attorney general. He has been under fire more or less ever since he was named as campaign manager for Warren G. Harding in the Ohio primaries four years ago. An investigation of the affairs of the Department of Justice is demanded. It might be well to have one. Perhaps 'it would %e better to pass the Wheeler resolution without further debate. This would allow the inquiry to proceed as expeditiously as thoroughness will permit. If reasonable grounds for suspicion exist, the good of all requires that examinations be made so that truth will be brought out. The animus of tjie Wheeler resolution is clear. As in the Denby case, the shot is not aimed at the attorney general. It is directed at a far more wor thy target. Calvin Coolidge again is the man against whom the effort is aimed. He is the republican pres ident, the head of the government, a candidate for the nomination, and must be discredited if possible ■ for the good of the democratic campaign. • • » Before many weeks arc passed the hot indigna tion of the people, aroused by the disgraceful dis closures, will give way to calm counsel. Then the demand for justice will rest on an estimate of the facts, not gossip. It will not take the form of in discriminate condemnation of psrties or of individ uals. Men in or out of office will not be censured without cause. Their reputations will not be blasted through passions that do not reason. Our nation stands for justice, and it will be done. No guilty man should be permitted to escape. No innocent man ought to be compelled to suffer. The president is going ahead, firm in his determina tion to see that the good name of America be vin dicated. This will be done by discovering and brand ing the felons who have secretly sought to debauch it. Crime is not partisan, and politics has no part in determining the course of the president. It should not sway in other circles. THE HOUSE THAT FACES BOTH WAYS. We wonder how the house of representatives must appear to itself. One of the great clamor* in the United States is for capital to be put into pro ductive enterprise. Billions of dollars are hiding in tax-exempt nonproductive securities. Proposals have been put before the house look ing, first to the shutting the tax-exempt door. Through this door many millions of wealth escape each year from the tax collector. Second, it was proposed to induce this wealth to go into industrious occupation to produce other wealth. Both were re jected by the same group of congressmen. High surtax rates on big income* will be re tained. Tax-exempt securities will continue to offer safe refuge for money that seeks to evade taxes. That is the sum and substance of the house action on the proposals made to it from the Treasury de partment and from the White House. If, as has been admitted, the Mellon tax plan was rejected because Mr. Mellon himself would benefit by it, why was the plan for abolishing tax free securities also rejected? Uncle Andy will not worry about the high surtax on his big income so ' long as he may safely invest most of it where neither federal nor state tgx collectors can get at it. Wholly er partly tax-free securities outstanding December 91, 1produce a yearly revenue of more than $1,200,000,000. From this only a small part goes to the government. This loss does not seem to worry the opponents. It surely does not worry the men who enjoy it, and they are not all millionaires. It will be interesting to follow the senate in its action on the measure. When the present revenue law was before that body in 1921, the surtax rat* fixed by the house was increased. In the perversity of its nature, the senate may cut the rate this time. -j HIGHER TARIFF ON WHEAT. Prospects seem bright for an early proclamation by tho president, increasing the tariff duty on Canadian wheat imported into the United States. Under the law, the president has the power, on proper showing, lo increase by 50 per cent any scheduled impost. This will amount to an addition of 15 cents per bushel, rqaking the total protection given the wheat growers of the United States 45 cents per bushel. The disparity in cost of production, developed by inquiry of the tariff commission, shows, that the Canadian farmer has an advantage of 50 per cent or more, according to location. The Omaha Bee’s special wheat edition gave careful tabulations of rates, showing how much less it costs the Canadian farmer to reach his market. All these factors, and they bulk huge in the general problem, are in favor of the Canadians. United States wheat growers can not meet them fairly under existing conditions. How extensively the Canadian competition enters into American consumption is shown by the federal government’s report on wheat in sight at the end of December, 1923. Quoting the figures given by the Dominion bureau of statistics, our government re ports that there were held in the United States at the date mentioned, 28,520,481 bushels of Canadian wheat. The total Canadian crop still held for mar ket in elevators in Canada and the United States is ' 127,312,540 bushels. It is to stem the flood of wheat pouring over the northern border, at least to save the home market for the home thrower, the increase in tariff is pro posed. No single step will bring quicker relief to the distressed wheat regions of the west and north west. Prompt action by President Coolidge on this matter will be worth a great deal to the farmers. TAKING THE AIR FOR CAMPAIGN PURPOSES. It had to <fhmc, and William Gibbs McAdoo might as well be the one to put it into effect. The recently deodorized candidate for president will conduct his preliminary campaign by radio. He has asked per mission to install the set at his home in California, and if permission be granted, he will shortly bom bard the midnight skies with reasons why he should be nominated. This opens a Vista down which other candidates will look long and on looking will act quickly. In stead of the oldtime stump speaker, or the spell binder holding forth from the tailend of a wagon, we will get a new brand in campaign talks. “WXYZ speaking. Hon. Ebeneezer Squildig, people’s choice for pound keeper, will now address you.” And then it will begin. All over this broad land of the free and home of the brave, little wavelets will chase one another through the air, across lakes and rivers, over plain and mountain top, bearing glad tidings of great joy. Each candidate will have full opportunity to explain and exploit himself. Then, what a chance for hecklers! A democrat, for example, who is not pleased with what a repub lican candidate is saying, need not listen. He can also stop the show any time he wants to jazz up the air. When the big fellow takes the air, he puts the little one out of business. Also, when the “fishers” get busy, how charmed they will be to hear first from Painted Post, Ariz., and then from Podunk, Vt. Next he will get Skeneateles, N. Y., and then Round Point, Ga., and so on. Campaigning by radio surely holds possibilities. Not the least of which is that the home owner can turn off the switch and go to bed any time he wants to. With the franc under a nickle in value, the French government is apprised of what is expected of it. Something will have to be done and before very long if another nation’s currency does not reach the vanishing point in purchasing power. Mr. McAdoo’s supporters having given him n clean bill of health, his case is now up to the voters. A two-thirds majority is hard for any one to get In any convention. Hudson Maxim says he believes that tea and coffee are intoxicants within the meaning of the Volstead act. What, “ the cup that cheers but does not intoxicate?” Perish the thought. Having just finished* a honeymoon and a breach of promise suit, the pop king is about to take on a divorce proceedings. Nothing like keeping one's hand in. Army aviation bombers are looking forward to a little target practice on Nebraska ice gorges. This ought to be exciting, especially if a bridge is hit now and then. President Coolidge is exhibiting some of the characteristics that made old Andy Jackson a con siderable figure in American history. We hope that the old western rule, requiring that ‘ hardware” be checked at the doors does not have to be revived. Omaha is to entertain one of a number of tax congresses.

XII. The Shot That Was Hoard Bound the World. I IF: result of the coercive mea sures taken by the crown was a continental congress that met in Philadelphia in September, 1774; and its •temper soon shuwed the colonies re garded the cause of Massachusetts as their own. The congress strength ened the nonimportation agreements, adopted a declaration of rights In which it was again insisted that the colonies stood on the English con stitution. and drew up addresses to the king and the people of Great Britain, in which firmness was blend ed with loyalty. No word of separa tion was uttered. But a new parliamentary election had occured In Britain in which the "king's friends" were triumphant. That is to say, the prices for seat In it had been agreed upon between the sellers and the purchasers. The op position was stilled, the American* peti tions were rejected; the elated king was to have his blows. Lord Howe was sent out with a fleet, and Wil liam Howe. Burgoyne and Clinton were commissioned to take command of the land forces. T^ord Howe also was to have the role of negotiator and present some proposals Lord North had Included with the govern ment's more warlike orders. But noth ing was to come of these last minute reservations. The train of war was laid, and there was wanting only the spark. During the winter of 1774 5 Boston, closed to trado and under military rule, was but the ghost of a»town Food and fuel were scarce, and though the British offered employ ment on barracks and fortifications they were erecting the citizens re fused it and lived on a ration of rice and salt fish distributed by the Amer ican committee. The British officers were confident and provocative. Re enforcements arrived steadily and the troops were frequently paraded on the common to give the townspeople an object lesson In Britain's might. The patriots were watched closely. When the people gathered to commemorate the anniversary of the Boston massacre, as had been their annual custom, British officers attended and jeered and hooted the speakers. On the day of prayer and fasting order ed by the continental congress the British bands were turned out and, taking station before the churches blared away with all their power In an attempt to play down the preachers. The houses of the patriots were marked and the soldiers, without hindrance from their officers, amused themselves with insulting demonstra tions before the doors and by throw ing stones through the windows. During these months Genera! Gage had sent out officers disguised as coun trymen to observe the activities of the patriots and to sketch the roads In the vicinity of Boston. Receiving information that the Americans were collecting military stores In various places he determined, as spring open ed up, to strike a salutary terror Into these zealous provincials by swooping down on these depots and destroying them. A first expedition made against ■Salem was fruitless. A detachment of soldiers reaching there on a Sunday morning, the church congregations turned out. raised a drawbridge that gave entrance to the town and thus barred the path of the troops. There was parley and some show of force, but In the end the British officer, a little uncertain of his orders, gave the word to retire. But In April Gage decided on a show of greater firmness. Prepara tions were made to s»nd a strong eolumn to Concord where stores were supposed to be collected. Secrecy was observed and swiftness enjoined. The column moved out at midnight and be gan Its march of 20 miles through Middlesex. But secret and swift as the troops were a word more secret and swift went before them, .loseph Warren who had Information of the expedition had stationed Paul Revere on the Middlesex side, and when the route of the troops was known, this stout patriot with his horse as stout, F,ad only to wait the signal flashed from the tower of the Old North church. When It cama he galloped away to Lexington where Hancock' and Sam Adame, the proscribed patriots, were In hiding, rousing the minutemen n» he sped.

Rome 70 of the militia had gathered there on the town common when, nt 4 o'clock In the morning, the British marched In and for the first time In history the armed forces of the mother country and the colonies con fronted each other. There, in the half light of dnwn on the morning of April 19. 1775, a crash of musketry ushered In the American revolution. Seven Americana felt dead, and as many more were wounded.

Volleys rolled from both sides; the Rrltlsh fell hack leaving dead; the Americans held the bridge. Rut now the countryside was up. The fast gathering militia invested the British line of retreat to Lexington and poured in on the column a steady ami accurate lire. At Lexington re enforrements met the column, but the Americans still gathered and the British seemed doomed when Lord Percy, who had brought up the fresh troops from Boston, succeeded in plac ing some field pieces In such a way as to give brief respite from the close pressure of the Americans. All day the British retreated and the lighting continued, Percy's men suffer ing heavily, going without food or water throughout the march. At dark when the beaten and demoralized British readied haven at Boston, the retreat was a rout. As it was, the survivors barely escaped being cut off and raptured, for the last of them had not been within the British lines half an hour when a large body of militia from Salem and Marblehead appeared at a point where they must have com pletely cut off the entire British force. The Impression the English people received of these battles that opened the revolution, may he Inferred from the fact that the London Gazette In its account of them reported that the Americans had scalped the British wounded.

Omaha—To the Editor of The Oma ha Bee: The employment depart ment of the Colored Commercial club has endeavored to find work for many worthy colored people In the city of Omaha. We have been successful tn placing 450 In jobs In the last few months. Letters and calls from em ployers testify that our efforts have not been in vain. It is a little more difficult to find employment to meet the steady In creasing demand. There Isn't a day ' that from 30 to 40 men and women i do not come to the office seeking | work. We have put forth every ef- 1 fort to find work for them, as they' come well recommended from their respective homes. We are trying to place these people as they applv. knowing It ts for the best Interest of ’ll concerned. We believe that Oma-, ha Is going to face serious unemploy-' ment, if we do not do all we can to place these people in Jobe. The employment department of the Colored Commercial club does not wait for people (o call, but three or four hours each day are spent In the field calling upon the various Indus tries trying to locate Jobe for colored people. The slogan of the employment de partment Is "to furnish the best col ored help In the city," because we make thorough Investigation of each applicant before sending him or her to a place to work. This protects th» employer as well ns the employes We this is absolutely necessary be* cause very often wo send employes into the very best families and the largest industries In the city. We desire the employer to’feel that ihw Colored Commercial rlub has his interest at heart and will do every, ihlng possible to send him the very oest help we can obtain. In fact when employes are sent from this office they are Instructed that they are go. mg forth under the name of the Col ored Commercial club and If they make good, they need not fear of fti ture employment or advancement. we Impress upon them the neces slty of getting on the Job on time of "faying on the job and doing a full .lay s work each dav.

Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: The World-Herald in an extended editorial says: "The coun try has full confidence In the fear lessness. public devotion and ability of Senator Walsh, thanks to whom light is breaking in dark places." If Senator Walsh is such a wonderful defender he has been a long time finding himself. Twelve years ago. when the republicans had passed through the Ballinger scandal and the radical democrats were grilling them at every corner. Senator Walsh was ringing the political fire bell every- hour. When, however, the democrats earn0 into full power and responsibility, this senator from the copper fields of Montana became a cooing dove when the democrats were quieting title to the vast railroad, telephone and other monopolies. Walsh represents the special inter ests. but, of course, being a very ca pable trick lawyer, he is permitted to exhibit his whole stock in trade as a partisan when the opposition have neglected their political fences. The plundorbund does not under write political mistakes, each party must carry their own liabilities. The writer did not watt until he got 1.600 miles away from the senator from Montana to accuse him of placing the plunderbund game. We accused him across liia own desk in the senate of fice building and we were not thrown out. either. * If the people put the)r trust fnr a house cleaning—one that will stay cleaned—in the hand* of Walsh.

Hudson Maxim's declaration that coffee Is intoxicating, therefore he is going to work for its prohibition, re minds us of one of Opie Head's stories. An old Kentucky colonel, suffering from a ^rrifio hang over, wandered into thf^fcsr one morning and called for a drink. It didn't taste good. Noting Opie drinking a glass of but termilk the colonel Inquired: "May I inquiah. suh. what that is you all air drinkin'?" When told that it was iced butter milk the colonel ordered a glass of it and drank with great relish. Smack ing his lips he turned to Opie and ex claimed: "What a pity, suh, that such a fine drink won’t make a rnan drunk.'* How Times Have Changed. Speaking of old times In the print ing game, a couple of printers in the old hand set days caught on i t the shop of an Omaha morning paper. They secured a room in a* private residence, where lived a widow and her two daughters. Weeks passed by. and one morning a daughter met one of the printers in the hall for the first time, and conversation en sued. "You gentlemen are gamblers, aren't you?" asked the daughter. "No, we are printers working on the Morning Bee," was the reply. "My goodness," exclaimed the daughter; “mamma thought you were gambling gentlemen. If she bad known you were printers she wouldn't have rented you the room." Jay K. House, who columns for the Philadelphia Ledger, asserts that no man Is at his oratorical best when one of his hose supporters Is dan gling down around his ankle. From which statement of tact we make no dissent. Neither ia he at his best in a banquet address when the cold and fishy eye of his Faithful Helpmeet conveys the sad message that he ^ias nermitted the deposit of a conspicuous chunk of salad dressing on his shirt front.
