Term* of the “bonus” bill which the house has just passed have not been made sufficiently clear this far west to permit detailed discussion. As far at we understand the measure, it will mainly pro vide for insurance on the lives of nearly 4,000,000 of the young men who served with the colors dur ing the world war. This insurance is in the form of 20-year endowment, and will have the maximum cash value of $982 per $1,000 at the end of the term. It will be carried on the basis of the bonus at the rate of $1 per day for domestic and $1.25 per day for foreign service capitalized at 6 per cent. How much actual insurance will thus be provided depends on the length of time the service man was in uniform. For another group, a cash settlement is provided. This is for the short term service men. The first 60 days of service does not count, and those who did not serve longer than 100 days will be paid in cash for the difference between 60 and 100 days. Others will get the insurance. The maximum amount of insurance possible is $1,900 for foreign and $1,400 for domestic service. • * * This basis of settlement is reported to be satis factory to the several organizations that represent the service men. It has several quite attractive features. For the soldier himself, it represents a savings account that automatically accumulates, without attention from him. His death before the expiration of the insurance term will bring the full amount of the policy to his family at once. If he lives out the 20-year period, he gets the cash himself. This answers one of the arguments of those who are opposed to the bonus. The young men will not squander the money as soon as they get it, although that is a matter that is largely a personal concern* The boys who will get the adjusted compensation were asked to spend two years or such a matter of their lives as the public required them. They argue that it is small return to permit them to spend a little public money after their own fashion. For the public, the proponents point out^the plan contains the benefit of postponing the bi^payment over a time sufficiently long to permit accumula tion of a fund big enough without any serious strain on ordinary busigess. A sinking fund of $100,000, 000 a year is provided, and this, with its normal accumulations over 20 years will pay the bill. The United States has made provisions for those who were disabled in the service, and for the de pendents of those who died. In former years grants of land from the public domain were given. No public domain is now available, and therefore the reward must take some other form. No question is made as to the likelihood of pensions being paid these soldiers. The nation already has provided for the ones who suffered mentally or physically because of the war, and in due time will nspond to calls from those who at the time can not provide for them selves. The insurance plan is a step in this direction. The president has announced his opposition to a bonus. Whether he will consider the measure just sent on to the senate as one to be disapproved or whether its provisions will come within the approval he gave to certain portions of the American Legion’s comprehensive program remains to be developed. Supporters of the measure say they have votes 'nough to pass it over the veto. This may not be necessary. The adjusted compensation bill is on its way through congress with strong approval. COOLIDGE AND THE COMMON PEOPLE. One set of voter* in the United States know their own minds, and are determined to support Calvin Coolidge for the nomination at Chicago. The repub lican* of New Hampshire, at their primaries, elected II delegates who are instructed to vote for Coolidge to the final ballot. Nothing especially surprising about this, but another phase of the primary shows just what the people meant. Seven delegates at large were to be chosen at the primary. Among the eight names on the ballot was that of George Higgins Moses, republican leader In the United State* senate. He refused to give his pledge to support Coolidge at the convention. When the votes were counted he was eighth man on the list. Nothing could be clearer than the message thus conveyed. It was not likely that the voters had any thought of humiliating Senator Moses, bu,t they wanted delegates who stood pledged to carry out the Instructions of their constituents. New Hampshire republicans are for Coolidge, and they want the world to know it. Even as steadfast as they have been in support of Senator Moses, they would not permit him to go to the convention as a delegate unpledged. It does not call for the Insight of a Daniel to in terpret this writing on the wall. The American people have faith in the president. They are "assured of his integrity and his constancy. Whatever winds of partisan storm may be raised at Washington, the man in the White House sits serene, an American citizen, true to his trust and discharging his duties fully, fearlessly and fnithfully. “Steadfast Cal” should be his name, and that Is why Americans stand by him. TRANSATLANTIC BOOTLEGGING. Seizure of the liner Orduna of the Royal Miiil line and demand for its confiscation by the govern ment, on charge of violating the laws relating to the sale of liquor and narcotics, may indicate to the world that the United States is in earnest in its effort to check bootlegging. Of the offending ship it ia alleged it* bars never closed when in port. Liquor waa aold openly, by the drink, bottle or case, and narcotics were smuggled into the eountry. District Attorney Hayward of New York says the situation is most serious, and that the Orduna is not the only offender. Indeed, only one of many. Dis cussing this, Mr. Hayward says that the situation indicates either n dangerous laxity of discipline, or collusion of the owners. Take either end and we have n disposition on part of foreign ship owner* or their crews to flout the laws of the United States. ; Smuggling has always been a practice to contend ' with, but since the passage of the Volstead law, the effort to evade its restrictions has multiplied the smuggler many fold. Quite naturally, the foreign ship owner* and sailors will point to the bootlegging that is carried on almost openly in New York to justify their own efforts to share in the profits. What they overlook is that they seek the protec tion of law in other matters. When in port they lie secure because the United States is back of them. What sort of return for the government’s hospitality is it to engage in the illicit liquor traffic, to disre gard the law the federal forces are striving to their utmost to enforce? Foreign vessels are welcome in any port of the United States, but they must come prepared to obey the laws of the United States, which at present are a little bit severe on those who deal in intoxicating liquor of any kind or certain forbidden drugs. THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF MUD Just about this time of year the thoughts of man j turn to other than love and the spring seeding. At ; least one phase of existence thrusts itself more in ! sistently on public notice in March and April than at any other time of the year. Good roads. Just now most of the roads are bad roads. They will be worse, too, before they are better. Frost is coming out of the ground. Spring snow and rains : are going in. The result is what it has been from the beginning, and will be until the highways are all ' hard surfaced. Most of our road work is done on the same plan that the Arkansas man treated the hole , in the roof. When it rained he couldn’t fix it, and ' when it didn’t rain the roof didn’t need fixing, j An Omaha man, driving across to Chicago, is re | ported to have reached Cedar Rapids with 300 pounds of mud clinging to his car. Out in Nebraska a car went off the road at a “bad” place, and one woman was killed and another badly hurt. These things might have been avoided, by staying at home. But folks have become so accustomed to the muddy j roads of the early springtime that they just take a chance. It is mighty unpleasant at times, this thing of taking chances. j What the country needs is roads that stay put, that do not wash out when it rains or blow away in the gales. A surface that is useful from January 1 to December 31, every year and every day in the year. This will cost a little more to start with. In the end it will be cheaper. In the years since Nebraskans first began to build trails they have paid out for roads and bridges more money than is needed to hard surface all the highways of the state. They have mighty little left to show for the trouble and expense. Now is a good time for every county in the state to begin its hard surfaced road campaign. A little at a time, and soon the whole state will be covered with a system that is always good. POLITICS AND THE CALIPHATE. Abdul Mejid, deposed caliph of Islam, is getting a great deal more attention from Europe, since he became domiciled in Switzerland than he ever hart at Constantinople. France, for example, is very much concerned over the sacrilege of the caliph’s expulsion by the Turks. At Paris it is feared that the Islamic world will be upheaved as a result of the move. What is more to be feared, though, from the French viewpoint, is that Italy will beat France to it, and by inducing Abdul Mejid to change his j asylum from Geneva to Rome, secure an inside track on certain areas in the near east. As a matter of fact, neither France nor Italy cares a hoot about the caliph, except as he can be used as a pawn. Mustapha Kemal knows this as well as Poincare or Mussolini. France took over Syria | under mandate at the close of the war. It is now ; holding 60,006 square miles of territory and some 4,000,000 population that were under the Turk at the beginning of 1919, It is not unnatural that the Turks should have in mind the thought of regain ing the territory thus wrested from them. Italy occupies certain islands at the head of the Mediterranean, taken when Greece was making its disastrous campaign against the Turks. A confirma tion of title to these from the Turk might ease the' Italian conscience slightly. Greece is not being con sulted. Consequently, little favors shown the caliph will indicate the interest at least two of the European powers have in affairs at the head of the Mediter ranean. What must impress an outsider is that neither of these powers was greatly concerned when Mohammed VI took refuge with England, and Abdul Mejid was elected to the caliphate. At Lausanne the Turks proved their ability to cope with European politicians, and probably they can do it again, which adds interest to the situation regarding the caliph. American Legion men are not. so much disturbed over politics as some folks would like to have it ap pear. They get behind what they want and go after ! it, just as they did over in France. That is nut | politics. It is simply disciplined effort. A former army clerk, who soon would have hon orably retired from the service, has 'just been I sentenced to prison for having stolen $2,000, which he spent on a single whirl at life. He sold out pretty cheap. A visiting automobile magnate saya that 2,000,000 recuits will be added to the driving army this aeason. 1 Pedestrians will soon be collected for museum pur ] poses. Chamber of Commerce tourists are talking of a trip in May.’ That is the first indication given of , rain for the month.

THE BOYS’ HERO. Wisht 'at you know my Uncle Ren An' could go 'long with our gang when He says to us, ' Say, how’d you ilka T' go 'ith me on a long hike-.’" • ’Cause he knows where'a th' fishln’ holes. An' where t’ git th’ atralghtest polea; An' ,th’ atorlea Uncle Ben can spill Jus’ keeps us laughin' fit t' kill. When wlllers turn green In th' spring— Whistles he makes beat anything. Makes 'em so he can play tunes, too, Fing'rin’ holes 'at th’ wind comes through. An' squirt guns made out’n elder; say, No buddy makes 'em jus' his way; An' kites—he makes ’em ao’s they fly Jus' purt nigh up into th* sky. Wisht 'at my pa was more like him, Coin' 'ith us t' fish and swim, An' makin’ Injun bows and things. An’ makin* pals of ua h’jlngs. But pa says he's a busy man, An’ I guess he Is; he never can Find time t’ play or take a hike. Or anything us boys 'ud like. When we tell pa 'bout Uncle Ben Bein' so good, my pa says then At Uncle Ben he ain’t no use; Jus’ livin’ along 'Ithout excuse. But we boys know 'at pa's mistook. 'Cause Uncle Ben know* more'n a book. An' we know when a man Is good, An' he's th’ best In our neighborhood. Many Omaha people, and many Nebraskans, will remember Orson Bwett Mnrden, editor of Success Magazine. Mr. Maiden operated the Midway hotel at Kearney, which was erected dur ing the boom days of 1888, and destroyed hv fire in March, 1890. Mr, Marden went bankrupt as a result of his Nebraska experi ences, but later recouped his fortunes by means of his pen. It is good to know, too. that In making success for himself he has pointed the way to thousands of others. We were engaged as reporter, city editor, sports editor and assistant telegruph editor of the Kearney Dally Enterprise In those days. The Enterprise was a morning paper, and It was our custom on particularly cold or stormy nights to go over to the Midway about 2:3o a. m. and mooch a room through the kindness of A. I., Clark, the night clerk. The room assigned was always the tower room, five stories up. One night we went over to the hotel, only to find it full up, a theatrical troupe having arrived on a late train. So home we went. About 5 in the morning the fire whistle blew. The Midway was on fire. The upper stories were of frame construe, lion, snd In the terrific gale that was blowing the hotel burned like tinder. The flames cut off the tower room and the actor who was occupying It Jumped to his death. Some of these days when we And a little time we are going to alt down and daah off a novel of some 350 or 400 pages. The villain will not smoke cigarets. The heroine will not drink highballs. The hero will not be tall and blonde. The wife will not be faithless to her husband. The husband will not succumb to the lures of a flapper. The scenes will not alternate between high life in New York and the hilarious life at Palm Beach. There will be no sex problem. The eternnl triangle will not even be hinted at. In short. It is not going to be much of a novel, judged by the standards that now seem to meet with popular favor. Moat modern slang Is of ancient vintage. We speak of the ‘ windjammers." Job sarcastically referred to one of hi* would be comporters as a man whose "belly is filled with the east wind.” You never will he ehle to fully realize what a big state Nebraska really is until you have to pay railroad fare from the Missouri river to within 25 miles of the Wyoming line. The distance Is impressed upon our mind every now and then. WILL M. MAI PIN. « J “THE PEOPLE’S VOICE’’ Eilttrlal tram raaiara af Th# MareJaf Baa.

Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Just a word to the small homo owner: You are no doubt awaie from press reports tliat a movement Is on foot to float another bond issue by some of our easy street agitators for a river drtve, more sehools. a playground on every vaeant lot. with bathing pool and, I suppose, free lunch and numerous other motives that benefit only a favored few. Now, small home owners, If your taxes need another boost, you have and opportunity to furnish It; If your taxes are high enough vote against not only another bond issue, but also against the sponsors of it. Perhaps a little overhauling at the city hall would not be out of place either. April Is a good month to get busy ami give the taxpayer something for hlsanoney. While speaking of bonds, there is one department I would favor a bond Issue for—and that is enlarging the police force. That Is a necessity. Double the force and then put a man over them that will produce results—If we have to get a man from Detroit. We had a man at the head of the police department that started out to get re sults and would have succeeded only for two of his associates knocking every move he made for better gov ernment. and finally to recall him, for they began to realize he showed no political favoritism. That man Is Dan Butler, a stranger to the writer per sonally and politically, but a go-getter. Put him back on the Job and give him support and In two months you will see a different Omaha than you see today. TOM. Wonders of Mall Service.

Federalism and the Rise of Jeffersonians The picture of the consequences of disunion cannot he too highly colored, or loo often exhibited. Every man uho loves peace; every man who loves his country; every man who loves liberty, ought to have it ever before his eyes, that he may cherifli in his heart a due attach meat to the union of America, and be able to set a due value on the means of preserving it.—James Madison, the Federalist, No. XL1 - XXXIX. 17 now have to trace some of |AA/I the steps l.y which the op v - posing parties on this eon eSCTm stltutionai question arrived iBSaBI at their momentous con frontation a generation after the last of the founding fathers was in his grave. When John Adams came to the pres idency in 1 797 the federalist party, which was the party of centralization and broad constitutional construc tion. se»med destined to remain In un disputed eontrol of the new govern ment. Kepublicanisni had received a had "name from the excesses of the French revolutionists. Jefferson. Its chief, though a man of great ability and unquestioned patriotism, was re garded with alarm and somethin-: like horror by the federalists, especially in New Kngland, where many believed that the repobli'-an rtortrines be held were incompatible with the exist'nee of ordered government and society.) Jefferson had spent manv years in France snd was believed to be imbued with French political and philosophi-; cal theories. .Men whispered that lie was an atheist, but the same thing was said, and w-ith as little truth, of; Benjamin Franklin. Neither was an atheist. Jefferson, in the Declaration of Independence, had acknowledged an overruling Providence which I* more than the constitutional conven tion did when exhorted to it by no other than Franklin himseif. But what was clear was, that Jef ferson had said that a revolution every 20 years would he a desirable thing. The effect of a declaration like that on the “well-borna" who had stood up in Use constitutional con vention and opposed popular suffrage through fear of democracy may b* imagined. recieralism. therefore, which had be come entrenched in the eight years of Washington * administration, appear sd impregnable when the Virginia federalism of Washington was turned into the Massachusetts federalism of John Adam*. Hut never were polifl- , c.'il oppearanees more deceitful. With in a year after Adam* became piesi dent his party had begun to pass be hind a cloud from which it nevAr was to emerge. That th~ republican** gave tlie Adams administration great provocation there is no doubt, but the When in Omaha Hotel Conant sedition act by which it sought to crush out this opposition was one of the greatest political blunders a party ever committed. Hamilton himself warned against it. The sedition law, he said, would only give body and solidity to the republican*. "If there be a man In the world I ought to hate," Hamilton said on a subsequent occasion, "it is Jefferson.” Saying that he courageously advised the federal ists to vote for Jefferson to break the presidential deadlock when the elec tion of 1S00 was thrown into the house. He epoke as a patriot, believ ing Burr to be a dangerous man. ! Hamilton’s warning was unheeded; the sedition act was passed end rigor nuslp enforced, I.’nder it the printing of anything against congress or the president, with intent “to bring themj Into contempt or disrepute," was made! a misdemeanor and punishable with heavy fine and imprisonment. Mathew Lyon, a Vermont member of congress, had referred in a political) speech to the "ridiculous promp, fool- j ish adulation, and selfish avarice" ofj the Adam* administration. For this' he was fined $1,000 and sentenced to; four months In prison. Republican editor* who came to Lyon's defense were convicted and punished with the1 same rigor. N'or were the federalists fortunate in the judge who presided I over many of the** (rials for sedition. Samuel Chare, associate Justlca of lh« supreme court, waa an abla Judge but * atrung partisan. HI* arbitrary rub ,nga and conduct on ths bench g.i\* the republicans the opportunity total! him the American Jeffrey*. It was ihla Judge whom Jefferaon and h!« party later tried to impeach, though their real aim was John Marahell The eenate, however, failed to con vlct. ( The sedition prosecutions were •killfully capitalised by the repute lP-ana. Lyon waa re-elected to cor greea while In prison, and in 1798 Jef ferson, who waa directing the attack, pressed it home by writing the reso lutions which the Kentucky legisla ture adopted »nd which became the accepted doctrine of the party that gas to govern the nation for so many year*. The resolutiona were a trout and ably written, ss wae everything that cam* from Jefferson's pen. After setting forth the compact theory of the constitution, they conclude with some general reasoning and applica tions which ought to be familiar to aH who would understand the course of political history In the United States. There conclusions may be concisely noted: To take from the states all the power* of self-government, and trans fer them to a general and consolidated government, is not for the peace, hap piness or prosperity of theae states Kentucky 1* determined to submit tamely to unlimited power in no men Or body of men on earth. That usurpation of power by the federal government, unless arrested on the threshold, may tend to drive states into revolution. That aurh resistance will furnish new pretexts to those who would have it believed that men cannot be gov erned except by a rod of iron. That free government must be founded on Jealousy of power, not on confidence in men. That men to whom authority is delegated must be bound down from mischief by the chains of the con stitution. That all act* done by delegated au thority In contravention of the com pact theory of the constitution me be declared null and void by the ^ states Thu* early in our political history was tne constitutional issue of state* rights and federal powers emphatical ly joined. It is important to note this Issue, because long after events had settled the contest In favor of the federal powera, new forces, unknown to the constitution, rose in America and renewed, on their own behalf, the challenge the states bad not been able to make good. fCnpyright.
