Silence is the most massive thing conceivable sometimes. It Is strength in its very grandeur.”—lJr. Hurton. In that text is. contained the soundest advice pos sible. To keep still under the circumstances indi cated requires perfect self-control. It cries for the .nastery of one’s emotions. This is possible only to a well-balanced, self-disciplined mind. “He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly,” said the wise man, many years ago, and “He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding.” Also, “He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his own spirit than he that taketh a city.” What better justification could we have for the deliberate watchfulness of our silent president? He has expressed himself clearly as to his intent by or dering legal investigation and prosecution if need be of all offenders. Daily the lynchers in congress de mand of him to join in their unreasoning pursuit. They have selected their victims, and insist on the president doing the things they can not do. Should Mr. Coolidge give way and accede to the importuni ties of the congressional mud gunners, he would sim ply aid them in staining personal character of men who are only accused and whose guilt is not yet proven. * * * The sort of persecution being indulged is beauti fully shown in the reply of Representative StevenRon of South Carlolina to Theodore Roosevelt, jr. Mr. Roosevelt naturally resents imputations cast against his personal character, and that of his wife and brother. “I am ready to meet you any time or any where,” says the truculent South Carolinian, and the hill billies in his home state will shout with joy. They have turned up one more real statesman, of the trua pitchfork wielding, fire eating sort. Mr. Stevenson, however, is careful to make his charges in the hall of the house, where the law of slander can not reach him. Others have been stung to hot retort, which has only elicited a howl of* glee from their tormentors, ,vho go merrily along, throwing mud with apparent abandon, but always looking in the direction of the White House. “We have traced it to the backyard,” said Heflin in the senate, “and we will drag it into the house, if they are not careful." He meant the oil scandal and president. Through it all the president calmly goes about the business of the public. No matter how wild the legislative branch of the government may be, and it certainly i3 running all over the place, the executive and the judicial continue to function, and the Con stitution is safe so long as it is guarded. The presi dent is calm amid all the uproar, resolutely declining to be involved in any unseemly controversy, to bandy words or epithets with the madmen of the opposition party. * * • For this he is called indifferent, detached, glacial, and other of such names. He showed his indifference by ordering legal proceedings while the senate was still rocking with fiery stump speeches. If he has de layed any, it has been because congress 'did not act as promptly as he. None know better than the men at the capitol how alert the man at the White House leally is. The storm is not yet abated; It will not go down until the twenty-seven different investigations have run their course, and this will not be until the Wheelers, the Rrookharts, the Robinsons, the Carra ways, Hfflins, Harrisons, Stevensons and others of the ilk have exhausted every possibility of scandal, slander and abuse. “Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out; so, where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.” This is another of Solomon's proverbs that applies here. When the wood pile is used up the fire will go out. The nation is fortunate in the ability of Calvin Coolidge to keep his temper, to decline to lose his head, to remain silent when all about him are noisy. So long as he does not stampede, the government will not be disturbed by the winds that are conjured up by the soothsayers and magicians of partisan strife. “The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” • COURTS ARE HANDLING THE SCANDALS. Now that the courts are moving in the oil and veterans’ bureau scandals, congress may find time to attend to its regular business. Federal District Judge Kennedy at Cheyenne has granted a tem porary restraining order halting further develop ment work at Teapot Dome by the Sinclair company. He also has named two receivers, one to represent the public, the other on behalf of the company, to look after the business interests of all concerned until the trial has developed if the leases are legal and binding. In tha process of the court’s inquiry into the case, all the dealings between Albert B. Fall and F.dward Doheny will be brought out. The govern ment’s attorneys allege that he knowingly and fraud ulently deceived the president of the United States, and conspired with Doheny to carry into effect a fraudulent bargain they had made. The collateral frauds alleged are also mentioned in the pleadings, and these will l>e examined in court. At Washington a federal grand jury is inquiring into the allegation of bribery on part of two congress men, alleged to have been committed in connection • with the veterans’ bureau. These inquiries are the answer of President Coolidgc to the uproar raised by the lynchers in the senate. The executive moved ns swiftly as possible, selecting counsel and getting from congress the authority to proceed in the name of the United State* to protect the public. Facts will be brought In court that will stand the test of orderly proceedings. The senate com y mittee went ahead after a summary fashion, look ing only for what it wanted to sustain sweeping and general allegations. Most of what has been actually developed in the course of long drawn out inquiry will be tested by the courts. The rest has served to inspire the mud gunners of the senate in their as saults on the president, all of which have so far signal^ failed. Our government is a government of law and not of men. In the end the law must have its way. With the Teapot case and others in the hands of the court, interest at Washington will now revert to the work of the committee which is inquiring into Harry M. Dauffherty's record. STRAIGHT TRAIL FROM GRASS TO CORN. Omaha is going after the southwestern cattle. This is not a new campaign, for it has been going on during .the last 35 years, growing in intensity continually. Patronage of the Omaha market by the southwestern raisers has increased greatly as a result of this steady pull, but not to the point where it should be. Omaha buyers of stocker and feeder cattle have steadily been handicapped by the necessity of going to Kansas City to purchase enough of the animals to fill orders. A very large percentage of the ship ments that are credited to Kansas City really are for final sale at Omaha. It is to correct this, and to bring the original supply direct to the local yards, that the present effort is being made. A very slight difference in the freight rates from southwestern shipping points is more than offset by admitted, ad vantages in shipping direct. The differential of $75 to $100 a carload on cattle reshipped from Kansas City to Omaha also figures in the transaction. Throughout the year the Omaha market rules higher by several cents a pound than the difference in freight rates. This is because this market is in the center of the great feeding region. From it millions of cattle go out to fatten on the corn and other feed that is produced on the farms of the surrounding country, the richest in the corn belt area. All these facts will be brought home to shippers by the missioners of the Omaha market who are now on a pilgrimage through the primary cattle raising region. They have the argument on their side, and will make the truth known to the pro ducers. Omaha is the straight gate from the range to the feed lot, and should not be deprived of the trade by artificial conditions. t BITTER-SWEET OF LIBERTY. A young man, held prisoner at the Nebraska State Reformatory, took leg bail. He had been entrusted with a job beyond the enclosure, and let the prospect of freedom overcome his sense of honor and duty. This, of course, assumes that he had a sense of honor and duty. He did have some judgment, however, lie had been gone long enough to get good and hun gry, and cold, too. Then he returned, remarking oracularly: “A man is a fool to run away." A cynical person might find something to carp about in this young man's conduct. In the first place, he was a fool when he committed the crime for which he was sentenced to prison. He broke and entered, which is a legal way of saying he committed a burglary without securing loot. Thus, he forfeited his liberty, but gained a place where he can sleep warm and eat regularly. Lured by the prospect of the great world, he temporarily forgot that out there a man must provide for himself, but this knowledge revived in him after he had missed a couple of meals. His return was not impelled by any desire to Pay a penalty society exacted, or to demonstrate his contrition. It seems he was moved by a* sense of hunger, more than anything else. Had he realized his situation soon enough, he never would have got into trouble. Liberty is not only a privilege, but one that comes at a high price to all. It is God’s gift, but to be enjoyed it requires the continual sac rifice of time and energy. It is bitter-sweet, foi», with all its joys, its pleasures and its rewards, it is attached to work. Only the man who supports himself is truly free. "I hae a penny to spend, thanks to no man," was one of Bobby Burns’ grandest utterances. It was in dependence, for which he was beholden to no effort save his own. This youth was a fool to run away from prison; he was foolish to get into prison, but he is doubly so to think that freedom is lightly bought. Wisconsin followers of LaFollette have prepared a platform w’hich is to be offered at Chicago, In '-vent of its rejection, Wisconsin will bolt the eon \ention, and invite other states to do so. Old stuff. i Mayor Hylan of New York says Mr. Hearst is j ,!?e greatest living American. Now we know the identity of the man thought by Mr. Hearst to be the ! greatest living judge of human character. There is little to interest the average man in the news that Easter bonnets are to be higher in the crown this year. It isn’t the elevation of the crown that intrigues.

Seeing that ice must have somebody to quarrel with, I had rather keep our New England associates for that purpose.— Thomas Jefferson. XXXVIII. BARSHALIVK decisions, while they consolidated the gov ernment, did not consolidate the states. Opposition to centralized power continued In the states and became strongest in the south, where it was not only de nied that supreme court could declare ifhconstltutlonal an act of congress, hut Its right to override state laws also was stubbornly contested. When Jefferson became president tills sentiment, growing Increasingly sectional, was greatly strengthened: because Jefferson not only was the acknowledged leader of the strict con struction party, but also was a per sonal enemy of Marshall. The theory of states' rights, therefore, flourished from the start. The Georgia legisla ture instructed the state courts to pay no attention to 1 lie legal con ductions or the mandates of the su preme court, and when that state was summoned to appear in that court in a case in which it had been made a defendant it ignored the order. If the states could nullify a decis ion of the supreme court, it must fol low they could nullify an act of con gress, and thiR claim, too. soon was made. In South Carolina the right of congress to pass a tariff law inimical to the interests of that state was vig orously denied, and the doctrine of nullification began to he expounded. This theory was that If a national law seemed to conflict with the political or economic interests of a state, the state could nullify the law so far as its application to itself was concerned, i^outh Carolina pushed this theory to the extremity when it called a conven tion, nullified the tariff laws of 1828 and 1832. and notified the state's In tention, if the federal government tried to enforce these laws, to with draw from the union and organize a separate form of government of its own. - This doctrine was, or course, in compatible with nationalism and In its discussion the country heard the first rumblings of disunion. It is necessary to remember, how' ever, that the theory embodied in this doctrine was of very early origin, and was a natural growth from the con flicting views that were held respect ing the nature of the constitution. Was it a compact setting up of a con federacy of sovereign states, or was it the supreme law of a nation? Madi son. himself a republican—tills party, It must lie remembered. later called itself democratic—and the author of tile A'irginia resolutions directed against the federalist theory, had argued in the federalist (No. XXXIX), that the constitution wag neither federal nor national, hut a mixture of both. Madison In his old age repudiated the conclusions il.at the rfulliflers had drawn from the A'ir ginia and Kentucky resolutions. Jef ferson, the author of the Kentucky resolutions, if admitting the theory that the constitution was a compact, at least denied the wisdom of its ex treme application. "If." he said, "on a temporary su periority of one party, the other la to resort to a scission of the union, no federal government can ever exist.” Jefferson's Kentucky resolutions of ITUS, which declared that the "states composing the United States of Amer ica are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general government,” must be regarded, how ever. as the fountain head of the “com pact.” doctrine, of which more was to lie heard.' But the great political and econorfilc issue which was to bring this con troversy to a head had not yet become threatening. AA'hen the constitution was adopted the institution of slavery was believed to be In process of ex tinction. In the Philadelphia con vention It was agreed that the Im portation of slaves should cease In iROS. The south asked for that much life for the slave trade and the north granted it in exchange for the south's -- Abe Martin - *1 Th’ p’litioal machine ha* replaced th’ ole dimmycratir an’ republican wheel home*.

This was one of ttie many compromises by which the constitution was brought into being. The south also asked and obtained the counting of three-tlfths of its slaves in fixing the basis of congressional representation. This was all the stir the slavery question made In the Philadelphia convention. Nobody believed the institution would continue to grow after the importa tion of slaves stopped. But when westward expansion be gan and the south developed its great cotton industry, which took on an im mense new Impetus from mechanical invention, slave labor grew in Im portance and the south grew to look on it as indispensable to its agricul tural empire. Slavery had died in the nortli and was prohibited In the north west territory, hut there was no pro hibition of it elsewhere and it followed territorial expansion step by step. Presently a race was on between the nortli and south to see whether new national territory should he free soil or slave/Soil, Thus the great constitutional ques tion came at last to an issue. Should nationalism or sectionalism triumph? The germ of this controversy liad been in the constitution from the be ginning; its growth had been checked hy innumerable compromises, but it never had been eradicated. After 72 years the great constitu tional compromise broke down, and nationalism and sectionalism faoed each other in arms. On those battle fields of the civil war it at last was determined that the United States is a nation, that the union of the states is indissoluble and that the constitution Is strong enough to preserve both the powers of the.federal government and the liberties of the people.

Rradars of Tha Morning Baa are j invitad to usa this column fraaiy for I axprassion on mattara of public | intarast# (iasoline Kupply and Demand. Omaha.—To the editor of The Omaha Bee: Jn the 1923 winter sea son consumption of gasoline averaged 14,000,000 gallons a day. The gallon age of the summer peaks of 1921 and 1922 was double the gallonage of the winter lows,of 1921 and 1922, As a consequence the refiners expected the 1923 summer demand to reach 28,000, 000 gallons. 1 u view of the fact that automobile production had increased greatly, this figure was a conservative one. The refiners therefore Increased their plant facilities and storage to meet the expected demand. The marketer of gasrdlne In 1922. who purchased currently, found that at times he had to pay almost as much for his gasoline as he got for It; while the marketer who purchased on a marginal basis (under a marginal contract the marketer takes a certain amount of gasoline each month at a rate of so many cents below the current tank wagon market), would make enough to pay expenaea and a reasonable profit. Over a period of years the marginal contract affords the refiner a reasonable profit. But spring business of 1923 did not come up to expectations. Bad weather and the rural financial conditions made poor gasoline wreather. Large stocks of gasoline were on hand and those refiners who did not have enough of their gasoline contracted for on ths marginal basis, had to dump their stocks on the market and take what they could get in order to get enough cash to operate on. Practically all of this gasoline sold on the open market was sold at a loss. This low spot market gave the poli tician his chance. Here was hi* oppor tunity to buy gasoline at less than cost prices and compete with the marketer who, because of his mar ginal cuntrai ts, could not take ad vantage of the spot market prices. The politician also had the advantage In overhead expenses. The marketer invest* a goodly amount in his ser vice station property end equipment. He pays taxes. He offers more ser vice than merely the one of filling up a gasoline tank. The politician uses city property, pays no rent, pnys no I axes, uses the street as his drive way, and gives but one service. You car owners be the judges; what would happen to your business If the same unfair tactics were applied? Would you think It fair competition? I own no service station and have no interest in the making or selling of gasoline. I am interested in fair met hods. Politicians have always ‘‘gassed" the public. It is only recently that It has taken on a liquid form. Men are judged not by their ads but by the motives behind those acta. The vote loving politician used to kiss the ha lites; now lie fills the gas tanks. Jf gasoline prices pome dowrn it will be because the refiner can lower his costs and consequently enable the tank wagon price to be lowered: and not because an official of Long Wind placed a gasoline pump at the portals of fhe host* cart houso. II. W PETERSON. \luniiius Defends High School. Pilger. Neb.—To Hip Editor of The Omaha Ilee; While reading tlie col umn devoted to “The People's Voice'* I ran across the item entitled, “School Spirit and r> Cents.'' The author of this article is sadly In need of some information on the subject of which he speaks. This donation of 5 cents a week, if it may be called such, goes toward the expenses involved in publishing the weekly paper and in defraying the expenses of other activities. No stu dent is obliged to give this 6 cents, and If students do not get the full worth of their money no one bothers them further. At the same time there is something lacking in n student who does not get his full value In the paper alone. Me either has no inter est in his school or is miserly in clined. On looking Into the matter, you will find that tlie paper Is not published by teachers hired l.y taxpayers. It Is printed by students under the super vision of Instructors. Vou do not seem to realize that in order to print a paper you must have paper on which to print. Paper costs money. Most students willingly pay the small sum of 5 cents for it. I am afraid that it would be quite a task to go to each son and daughter and give an account ot where their 5 cents had gone. Sons and daughters are often inclined to prevaricate at times, in hope of getting an extra nickle for candy. I was a schoolboy myself not so long ago.
