When President f'nolldge, a few day* ago, ** pressed s reluctance to engage In any further die ruaeion of disarmament, he rested hi* case on the attitude of European nations. In an address to tha members of the Associated Press he mad* this posi tion a little dearer. He ia willing to rail another arm* conference, if Europe accepts the report of the Dawes commission snd honestly carries out lit provisions in spirit and in letter, to the end that the continent become tranquilised and tha nations most concerned make disarmament possible. In this attitude the president will b* sustained' by the batter judgment of the country. The futility of proposing disarmament to any of tha European nations at this time must be apparent to all. At the Washington conference in 1921, Aristide Briand, ipeaking for France, concluded a remarkable ad dreas, in which he discussed the situation as between France and Germany: "If by direction given to the labors of the con ference It were possible somewhere over there In Kurop*—if It were poselhle to eay that the outcome «f this conference It Indirect blame and opprobrium • sat upon France—If It were possible to point out France es the only country In Ih* world that Is still Imperialistic, Is the only country that opposes final disarmament, then, gentlemen. Indeed, thl* confer ence would have ileult us a severs blow; but I am null* aura nothing is furl her from your minds and your Intentions. "If. after listening to this argument, after weigh ing th# reasons which you hava Just heard, you con sider It then as valid, then, gentlemen, you will at III he with ua. and you will agree with me snd aay that France cannot poeetble do anything but what aha has actually done." e e e Tacit approval at laaat wa» then given to the at i it ude of France as voiced by tha premier, and tinea then at least the world has acquiesced in the French prmy. A* long ago aa tha spring of 1918, when the talk of the League of Notion* waa becoming rife, The Omaha Be* prophesied that, no matter what the outcome of the war, England would not give up ■ r navy, nor France her army. Six yean that have n« e intervened have justified the soundness of that • delusion. It wsa not a prophecy, It was obvious. The Washington conference did not accomplish II that was hoped for it, because of the stand taken " France. The question that waa then open still ia *11. In the report of the Dawes commission is found a way to peace, but France does not want it • out further guarantiee. What the ultimate dia ' it ion of the problem may he is an the knees of he gods. President GoolMgo sage ha ha* no for mula to suggest for the solution of the troubles of Europe. He does say, though, that when the Eu ropean nations have so regulated their own affair* that they ran get along together without immense armies, he i* willing to call another conference to decide on methods for reducing armies or to aban don them entirely. That is a question for European* to settl*. W* are Interested, but w# cannot thrust ouraelvas in anywhera without incurring risk* that It is not wise to mne, “Our first duty Is to ourselves. Ameri can standards must bo maintained. American insti tution! must bo preserved.” see “A nation that ia morally dead will soon ho financially dead,” ia tha meaaage of the president to tho people. “The progress of the world rests on ronsnfe, honor and faith.” And these latter are juat what tha opponents of tho president aro at the moment most sedulously seeking to destroy. Gov ernment hae bean attacked from every angle. A steady stream ef slander has been poured on the officiate ef the government, and the president haa bean subjected to vituperation and abusive comment from men who should be giving their support to him in his efforts to keep high the standard of hie eountry. Along with this has gone the dolorous chant that tha faith of tha psopl* In American in stitution* ha* boon destroyed. Barely not because tho govarnmant has takan prompt and effective steps to punish tha only of fenders against whom any proof haa as yet been adduced? Ne, if any faith in our institutions haa been weakened, ft la because of the malicious out pouringe of ao-ealled high minded gentlemen, who know, that tha eureat way to damn anything ia by half-truths, and who have stirred just, enough of those Into tho mesa to aavor the falsehood of which it is mad*. o * * Faith in our government ha* not been weakened, because tha people have faith in themselves. Plate after stale hae voted its confidence In Galvin GooL idge. He (tends before the world today tha rour ageoui bearer of huge responsibilities, supported by the fealty of tha public that looks to him, trusting In hi* quiet, effective methods, sustained hy a knowl edge of his unquestioned character and moral stami na. Blander has not touched him, abuse has not moved him, and tho people are leaning on him. Americans will return to their ideals, through the guidance of tho calm, firm man, who shows tho way to safety. Financial bankruptcy will not rome on account of moral bankruptcy, for Galvin Gool idge’s message will ba heard and his sdvica will he haadad hy a people that still are worthy to b* en trusted with the big job of governing themselves. In *11 kindnes* we suggest to Governor Bryan that h* has a big enough job trying to heat Adam Mclfttllen without nutting in any hours worrying about a presidential nomination. Now and then a state makes a joke out of the governorship, hut to date the republic hae never mad* a jok* of the praaldaney.

One of his little benefactions was the presenta tion of a $6,000,000 highway to tha state of Dela ware. Not as a bribe, but to henellt the common wealth by providing something the people could use. He is an ardent sportsman, and a good friend. Ac tively engaged in reaearch work, both social and in duatrial, a busineaa man whose acumen is respected, and a citicen whose loyalty is beyond question, he would seem to have but one real drawbark. He is wealthy, and that is enough for thoie who have not wealth and spend their Hays in envious jabs at the man who has. PINCHOT GETS THE ANSWER. Nothing in the primary election* i* more note worthy than the overwhelming defeat of Gifford Pinchot, who sought to bo named aa • delegate to the Cleveland convention from Pennsylvania. Not so very long ago the governor of the Keystone state was noted a possible presidential candidate. It was all but agreed at that time that he might be per* mitted to name the delegation to Cleveland, which surely would include his own name. A change has come over the dream since then. Governor Pinchot has gone out of his way to make war against Andrew Mellon. First, ha attacked him on his enforcement of the prohibition law as tha governor ef Pennsylvania thought it should ha en forced. President Coolidge responded by pointing out that governors are in some tense responsible for law and order in their home states, end that Governor Pinchot would do well to look after whal is admittedly one of the wettest spots in the union and let the federal bureau carry on under federal ; direction. Next the attack took the more direct form of inducing Senator Cour.cn* fo employ Francie Heney a* a private attorney to pry into tho Mellon affairs. This was too much for tho administration, and It drew a stern rebuke from tho president, ad dreseed to the senate. / Governor Pinchot has found the answer in the vote on delegates. It j* not a rebuke to progressiv ism, nor a presage of the attitude ef the party on any national issue. It is merely the evidence that Pennsylvania voter* are lined up with the president, and are not reedy to give even indirect disaent to hi* administration by sending one of Its chief op ponents to the Cleveland convention. Right now would be a pretty good time to do a bit more worrying about the future good of Amer ica, and Jess about the future good of far distant nations, white, brown or yellow. Thi proud father who carries his infantile son and heir in a suitcase doubtless would net trade it for a certain historic black bag and all it* former eontents. The motion picture producers are losing their punch. Not one of them he* made a move to grab off the pieture rights of the melee down In Wash ington, ftenor Firpo announces that ha he* retired from the ring. It is the very genera! belief of Americana that he was knocked from It. This discussion of whether kissing I* harmless or harmful is purely academic. Very much depends upon the kisser and tha kisaoe. The statu* of liberty continue* to show her hack to a dry land while eh* looks out upon a very moist sea. If Mr, Sinclair is Joilod for contempt of sonata, pray where will they find room for oil the rest of tie? Thoro seem to be only two seasons of the year for the prinre of Wales spring and fall.

MAUPIN. _/ Boy— Page Mr. Buckingham! Mr. Buckingham, undoubt edly you remember back forty three years when you came west to Omaha. Do you still remember that old dim, flickering oil lamp which furnished light for your little home? Quite a difference, isn’t it, from the bright electric lamp of to day? Great strides have been made since you joined the Union Stock Yards Com pany seventeen years ago. In that year the live stock receipts were 5,567,425. In 1923 the totals were near the 9,000,000 mark, and from present indications, last year’s record will be surpassed during 1924. Omaha, when you came here, was a little struggling village. Today it is a thriv ing metropolitan city. Elec tricity, too, has had a mar velous growth during its forty years in Omaha. Omaha and electricity have had a remarkable past, but neither have yet ‘'arrived.’' Ahead of both of them is a great future which will make dim even their bril liant and meteoric past Omaha Is a Great Place In Which to Live**.
