It is not a rebuke for the occupation of the Ruhr, or any part of the dealings with Germany. The vote in the chamber of deputies is the direct outcome of the efforts of the government to balance the budget. Almost before the ink was dry upon the armistice agreement France began her systematic effort at restoration. It has been an effort that has aston ished the world. Relying on eventual payment of reparation charges against Germany, the trench borrowed enormous sums of money from French sav ings to carry on the work of rebuilding what had been destroyed during the war. This necessitated an increase of taxation, but at no time has the bud get been balanced. The income has not met the outgo. To meet this deficit paper currency has been issued with consequent enormous inflation. The collapse of the franc was in plain sight, and Poincare undertook the drastic but necessary remedy of cut ting down expenses and increasing taxation. His bill, providing for a levy for the current year 20 per cent higher than the last, was met with de termined opposition in both senate and chamber. Only by utmost effort was the government able to put its program through. * Poincare received approval in the senatorial elec tions held in January. The election for deputies oc curs in May. But no matter what the result of this election may be, it seems certain there will come no change in attitude toward Germany. The French expect the Germans to pay for the war damages. On this the policy of the government.is fixed. To it the people are devoted. Poincare's passing has been anticipated, and it was predicted weeks ago he would fall on some point cbnnected with his fiscal policy. The expected, therefore, has happened. Presi dent Millerand has asked Poincare to form a new cabinet. He may or may not succeed. -The French may face again the threatened obliteration of their credit as a government. They will not, howfever, relax their determination to collect to the uttermost what they believe is due them from Germany. Unfortunately, the resignation comes at a time when delicate negotiations are being carried on be tween Poincare and Ramsay Macdonald, affecting th* relations between France and England. The re port of the Dawes commission is expected soon. The issues which will come out of these matters will not, however, have the effect of changing French policy. Right or wrong, that is fixed and determined. SCORE ONE MORE FOR BEAL. Again we congratulate Henry Beal, coupty at torney, on a splendid victory. Joseph Guxwesc, i who shot and killed Detective Frank Aughe, has - been found guilty of murder in the first degree. By recommendation of the jury, he will be sen tenced to prison for life. We have no disposition to argue with the men who for twenty-seven hours debated among them selves whether this man should be dedicated to death for his rrime. It is to the credit of the jurors that they required but one ballot to decide the quality of the crime. The rest of the decision is on the consciences of the men who made it. Each had his own reasons for voting as he did. With these the public hss no concern. Many, doubtless, would have been better pleased had the ext’-eme penalty been exacted, for the crime was particularly atrocious. Where the public is gainer, and this is largely hue to 'he vigor and energy with which the prose cution has been directed, is that the murderers who ire now facing trial in the criminal court are be ing found guilty. This is a decided step forward. Not such a great while ago. the exact opposite was true, for it seemed impossible to convince the men in the jury box that the taking of human life con stitutes a crime. A few more verdicts like the last three will perhaps convince the bandits and thugs that the law does take cognizance of shooting, and that such crimes will be punished in Omaha. After all, it is not the severity, but the certainty, of the pen alty that makes the law a terror to evil doers. Henry Beal is-making certain that a penalty will be exacted of every man guilty of crime when caught. “KICK A HOLE IN THE TARIFF WALL. '’ None are so blind as those who will not see. This applies to nobody more perfectly than to the demo cratic free traders. “Kick a hole in the tariff wall, and let the farmers have a chance at the markets of the world," is the slogan of two democrats who are contending for the party's favor as candidates for the office of United States senator from Nebraska. We have no desire to write a platform for either of these. What will happen to the farmer, if their plan ia adopted, ia another question. Prating about the markets of the world is a fixed habit with the democrats, who at no time tell what is actually going on. If these gentlemen woyld take a moment of time to look up the figures, they would see thst for the month of February exports from the United States have exceeded imports by $."i2,000,000. We sold in the markets of the world that much more of our products than we purchased. Hay by day. all through the year, and year after year, the tale goes on, and yet the free traders harp on the single string, “markets of the world." The United Slates dominates the markets of the World, simply by holding fast to the best market in the world, that of our own country. Kb k a big enough hole In the tariff wall, and the wheat farmers «f Nebraska will he drowned under a flood of Cans dian wheat. Through the inme hole will come the product* of the factories of England, France, Bel gium and Germany, to supplant the output of Amer ican factories. By this simple process the unem ployment problem of Great Britain will be solved. But it will be transferred to America. Kick a hole in the tariff wall, and let the for eigners put out our factory fires, reduce agriculture to a still lower level, and set up the European stand ard of living in our own land. That is what free trade means, and that is what the democrats are yammering for. NEW SLOGAN FOR THE OLD TOWN. "Omaha—where the • TVeat Is at Its Brst." Try that over on your tongue a few times. It has rhythm, music, even a lilt. Better, it has mean ing ard truth. As a method of autosuggestion, it should he more potent than the Coue formula that kept so many tongues tripping in America. Dr. Stewart R. MacDiarmid offers it as a slogan for Omaha uses. Not a great many years ago the MacDiarmids were where a slogan counts for some thing, where the shrill note of the pibroch brought the clans shouting together the cry of the leader. As a native son of Omaha, the doctor would like to see the city equipped with what can either be a battle cry or a joyous greeting. “Omaha.—Where the West Is at Its Best!’’ sounds like what th.e doctor ordered. It is a broad claim, but experience justifies it. The Gate City of the West has long been Omaha’s proud and well worn title. Through her portals have rolled the tides of men and commerce. To her hospitable doors have come millions, who have gone away im pressed by the openness of life here. Easterners and westerners alike find here something they miss in other places. Omaha is busy, pushing, hustling, teeming with the energy that characterizes the west, but is also filled with the spirit that has made the west a synonym for freedom, frankness and sin cerity. We are out "Where's there's more of singinjr and less of slchlng:. Where there's more of giving and les» of buying. And a man makes friends without half trying.” Dr. MacDiarmid’s slogan fits right in with the Chapman poem, in rhyme and reason alike, and both mean Omaha. Here is where the west begins, and Omaha is “Where the West Is at Its Best.” WHY “TIGE” ROAMED AT NIGHT. When a dog turns around several times before lying down, he is but paying a tribute to his an cestor. Long ago the primitive canine learned to hide himself in the rushes or lush grasses when he wanted to sleep. He turned round and round, to break down the stems and make himself a nest. Memory of that time persists in the dog of today. So in man habits set up in days so long forgotten there is no record of them mark his daily conduct. Physiologists have discovered in man vestigial rem nants of gills and other things that date back to a time when the earliest inhabitant crawled up on the mild and was left stranded when the tide re ceded. In other than anatomical structure we find the past repeated in the present. What Tennyson wrote concerning a young man’s fancy in the spring time was predicated on what he had noted of the robin, the lapwing, and other birds and beasts. He need have taken no further proof than that afforded by the "harmless, necessary cat.” Others may go about their mating with diffident shyness, with tender courting, and modest urgings. but not so with the cat. Thomas Grimalkin is above subterfuge. He loudly proclaim* to the wondering world his prowess, not only as a lover, but as a regular fellow, and, to his credit he it said, he is ready to enter the lists with any and ail. The caterwauling that accompanies his courtships are the sincere utterances of a spirit that is not daunted by any veneer of civilization. The call that rang in the jungles when the sabre toothed tiger went out to meet his mate is vibrant today. This will explain why the president has had to set a guard over “Tige.” his favorite cat, whose yielding to the promptings or his feline nature led his to wander the streets of the capital after night. We will warrant that “Tige” at any party he may have attended, was not more regarded because of his connection with the White House menage, but for his own qualifications. Tooth and claw are credentials at such affairs, and mayhap, the loud est yowl, but not social standing. Mr. Sinclair is acting very much like a man who would rejoice to be pried loose from the interest in Teapot Dome, provided he bp reimbursed for ex penditures to date. Of course those New York revelers who pelted a prohibition enforcement officer with bottles took precious good care that the bottles were empty. The Thedford hanker who was arrested with »n empty grip in his hands must have been disappointed in not meeting up with Mr. Doheny. Nebraska crops can not be planted by standing around on the street corners arcfl complaining shout conditions dowui in Washington. Those Filipinos who are so clamorous for inde pendence might profit by sending a commission of inquiry to Hayti arid San Domingo. ' If the Shah of Persia find* a president in his palace when he returns home, what do you suppose he will say? If any European country possessed a river like the Missouri it would be making it its main artery of commerce. If congress hopes to hold the renter of the stage after the baseball season opens it is merely fooling itself. i —--> Homespun Verse — By Omaha's Own Post— Robert Worthington Davie -—-/ HOME IS DEAREST AFTER ALL Though a man may travel eastward.

PINKHAM. , ' How the Betrayal of Go>erti-| raent llai Come From the People Them.*el\e®. In politics it Is almost a triviality to say that public opinion now rules the world.—John Stuart Mill. XT.VIII. F WE examine the debates In the constitutional con vention the the papers con stituting ‘The Federalist,’’ in which the work was de fended, we will he strugk by the fact that the prevailing fear of the framers was the fear of usurpation In the government, or the subversion of it» laws, by some member or branch of the government itself. There was fear of executive usurpa tion, of legislative usurpation and of judicial usurpation. And finally there was fear of military usurpation. It was these fears that led to the elaborate system of checks and coun ter checks on authority that are a distinguishing mark of the constitu tion, and that Impelled Hamilton and Madison to devote, in "The Federal ist." so many of their arguments to showing the security of these guaran tees. But it seems never to have struck the majority of the convention that any fear for the stability of the gov ernment was to b« apprehended from the American people. On the con trary, it was to the people the con vention looked for that vigilance which it was thought would be the super-check when any of the others proved inadequate. Thus Hamilton, in No. XXVI of "The Federalist," ob serves that the state legislatures, which he assumed the people would maintain in a vigorous efficiency as the bulwark of their local govern ment, "will always be not only vig ilant, but suspicious and Jealous guar dians of the citizens against encroach ments from the general government." These legislatures, he added, always would be ready "to sound the alarm to the people" on any appearance of danger to their liberties. But what would these makers and expounders of the constitution think today If they could witness the man ner in which the American people have acquitted themselves of their po litical stewardship? The original fears for the government have proved groundless. No executive has tub verted It. The legislative and judicial branches have not betrayed their trust. Militarism never has raised Its head. It is from the American peo ple thernaelves that has proceeded the great and growing danger to their government and their liberties through their indifference to their gteat privileges unit neglect of thrir d»«rly bought rights has proceeded an almost complete decay of those bul wark* to local government which Hamilton regarded as essential to the federal plan. No state legislature now sounds the alarm when our liber He. are threatened. Instead of being jealous guardians of the citizens, those assemblies now are vigilant only for the welfare of Hr *e private and political Interests that exert the 0n!v Influence now felt in their halls. And who Is responsible for this de cay of the state governments? Who. but the citizens themselves who now suffer through it? 'The solid foun datlon of the people thernaelves." upon which Madison declared the con stitutlon and the government must f-st. has proved a weak one. With every broadening of the foundation of suffrage, which ought to »>e the progressive process of every growing arm strengthening democracy it has proved weaker and weaker. What Is the moral and mental complexion of a legislature or city council, but an accurate reflection of like qualities in tue suffrage? If legislatures fail In their public obligations It 1* la-, a use voters fall In theirs. In a representa tive government every ill or failure in the public administration Is bound to trace hark tn the people. Thl« Is ihe te*t of democracy; here lies either its strength or Its vveakness If the people are alert, intelligent, active In the exercise of their right of suffrage the administration of their govern ment will show the strength of democ racy; If they are indifferent, neglect ful. corrupt, democracy will exhibit only it, wcakne,.

Henna, Nab.—To the Kdlfor of The Omaha Bee: Our next legislature should enact a siiecial license law for trucks and busses that sre uslrc our paved and fine graded roads for com mercial purposes. Take a look at our paved highway between Omaha and Kramont: what will another five years he with In crease of commercial trucks and Pusses, «aying nothing of size and capacity? jt is impossible and out of reason for state or counties to construct paved or graded roads to withstand these heavy trucks and busses, and we might as well recognize that fact before it is too late, if we are going to pei mit these commercial truck and bus companies to use our paved and other fine, graded highways to com pete with our railroads at the tax payers expense, we might as well I build a apeeial highway for trucks and busses only, as the trucks and busses are so large now It ia almost unsafe to pass them at night on our present highways. Our transportation rates are the same so about all the trucks and, busses do is to keep the county auper visor busy asking for money ap propriations to construct roads which opr commercial trucks and busses tear down. AVe talk about putting a 2 cent gas tax per gallon of gas, "We don't need it." AVe never will be able to keep our highways in decent shape unless we curtail the use of commercial trucks and busses. We may not be able to stop the commercial busses and trucks, but wo can make them pay according to -»> damage they do to our highways, and also limit their capacity not to exceed two and one half ton. My plan Is to place a special license of $500 on each commercial truck or commercial passenger bus. 1 do not advocate this special license on trucks owned and operated by farmers to transport their products nor on trucks who go into country to haul a farmer's corn, hogs, etc., to town or loading point* on railroad. Our highways were never Intended to tie used for commercial trucks and passenger bus purposes. We have the railroads for transportation of freight and carrying passengera. and we ahould keep our highways for automobile travel.
