Whatever may be said to the contrary, Secretary Jardine of the Department of Agriculture shows himself sympathetic with the prohlems of the farmer. * He arrays himself squarely on the side of co-opera tive marketing. This may allay the fears of certain advocates of that process, who have expressed oppo sition to the secretary because of what now appears to have been a misapprehension of his views and sympathies. One statement made by Secretary Jardine de serves especial attention. He refers to the farmer as “a business man with a greater capital invest ment than the average retail merchant.” Few per sons ever think of the farmer in this light. As a mat ter of fact, the capital represented by the agricul tural interests of the country is greater than that of the railroads and manufacturers combined. The census of 1920 returns the total number of farms at 0,448,343, with a capital investment of $77,924, 100,338, or an average per farm of more than $12, 000. This is fixed capital, permanently employed. What liquid capital is engflged in carrying on the work of the raising and marketing of food products can not be stated, but it is enormous. Viewed from this angle, the importance of the farmer becomes more impressive than when he is considered merely as a tiller of the soil or a keeper of flocks. The secretary refers to the complexity of the farmer’s problems as exeeetling those of the average business man. This, too, is a novel but a sane look at the situation. It supports the further statement that the farmer would welcome a cessa tion of the efforts to “save” him through futile at tempts at price fixing, at regulation, and other gov ernmental devices that usually amount to interfer ence and rarely produce real assistance. In the properly conducted co-operative marketing and buying movement the secretary sees hope for the farmers. It is their business, and they should be left free to manage it in their own way. None who are not actually engaged in the work of managing farms know so well as those who are the practical side of what Is involved. No sounder state ment of the proposition has ypt been made than this: “If applied the right way, co operation ran make of American farming a big. voluntarily unified, per manently and dependably profitable business in h way that no paternalistic legislation could possi bly do. “What we all need to do Is to talk less tommyrot and throw fewer monkey wrenches Into other peo ples machinery. We want to stop trying to line lip one group against other groups. We want to work together. Americans should Vie co-operating, not quarreling with each other over the Interests of this group or that." Let us, then, take the secretary’s advice, “quit talking tommy rot,” Rnd help the farmer by letting him manage his own business in his own way. THE WAY TO BUILD ROADS. Nine months from now motor rar* will he rolling ever a new concrete highway between Kan.-as City and St. Louis. The distance is 256'a miles and nearly 200 miles remain to be paved, but the extent of the task presents no terrors to the Missouri highway com mission, which announces in all confidence that the job will be done by January 1, 1926, or the people of Missouri will know the reason why. Here’s how Missouri does it. Contracts call for completion of the job in the specified time but more 1han that, weekly inspections of progress will he made and if on June 15 any contractor has failed to bring his task to an agreed pointy the highway commission is privileged to compel the use of more equipment and more men. Paving is inspected as it is laid and the work is accepted and PAID FOR as each mile is completed. What a difference between the way Missouri and Nebraska go about the building of state highways. With 200 miles to go Missouri puts a shoulder to the wheel and proceeds to sec to it that the job is finished up in nine months. Now consider Nebraska. Take, for instance, the 40 miles of Lincoln highway be tween Omaha and Fremont. How many months did that job require? The Kansas City-St. Louis highway is only one of Missouri's immediate paving projects. It. will soon have a state highway systrm of 7,000 miles. They do things in Missouri. Why not a little of the same enterprise in Nebraska? --—4-—. PLANNING THE C. M. T. C. Fifty thousand young men will he given the beno fit of the Citizen’s Military Training Camp work this coming summer. In this fact alone may he noted the success of the system In 1921, when the work was commenced, only 10,000 out. of the 40,000 who applied for admission were taken on. Congress rad not made sufficient appropriation to train more. In 1922 22,000 were given training; in 1923 the number had risen to 24,500 and in 1924 training was given to 33,000. Congress appreciates the im portance of the movement, and has provided funds accordingly. The prime purpose of the camps is not to make soldiers, but to train hoys to hecomp Useful citizens. War experience showed the necessity of this. Un der the operations of the select.He draft astounding deficiencies in our young men were disclosed. Half those examined were found to be physically aub t normal. Only one in three of the men who claimed technical skill had had enough training to be rated as journeymen. The army was required to give technical training to 1,500,000 men in order to ob tain those needed, and when the armistice was signed tequisitions were pending for 500,000 more trained men. A test made at random through the army showed another appalling fact. Of 360,000 men who were tested 90,000 were unable to read simple English sentences or write English messages. To correct these shortcomings, to develop the young men physically, mentally and morally, that they may be of use to the country, is the great ob ject of the camps. The work has been turned over to the army, for it is the best organized and equip ped to carry on such an intensive training campaign. Not to make soldiers, but to train citizens, the camps will be held in August in the Seventh Corps area, and registration may begin now. OUR NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL. It begins to look as if the senate had builded better than it knew in forcing the president to a second choice for attorney general. John Gara baldi Sargent never loomed very big in the world's affairs, but he is going to cut some ice now. Wash ington correspondents promptly assayed him on his arrival at the capital last week. He stood the test fairly well. In fact, ordinary mortals will be in clined to approve him, after reading what the writers have to san concerning the man and his methods. Greatest in his favor is his attitude toward the office. He reached Washington without a program, other than to administer the Department of Justice on sound legal lines. Asked what he proposed to do about prohibition, he replied: ‘‘Enforce the law, the same as other laws.” He plans to consult with Harlan F. Stone as to the work under way, and to take bold of the job right where his predecessor left off. It has been discovered that Mr. Sargent is a lawyer of attainments, that he is known outside his little home town in Vermont, and that he has made a success at his profession without any brass hand accompaniments. Concerning what may be expect ed, the Christian Science Monitor says: “One thing Is certain, however. It Is (hat Mr. Sargent comes to his new duties without any handi iap and without being obliged to dodge any politi cal pltfals. The page Is clean as It lies before, him, and -upon It he may write what he will. Much will he demanded of him In this hour of his preferment. Me undertakes solemn and exacting duties. In tils keeping, more than figuratively, has been placed the good name of a great, nation. There are those who have undertaken to weaken, if not actually to ties troy, the dignity of the law. It has not yet been disclosed just what are Mr. Sargent's views regard lng law enforcement. No doubt the president as certained these in advance of his appointment. Hut it can be surmised that the newcomer to the cabinet, fresh from the Vermont hills, with the background of years of legal training as a public prosecutor, has in common with his distinguished chief, and neigh hot*, ‘faith in the law.'” •--- ' ~ * SIGNS WE BELIEVE IN. Maple and lilac bud* swelling. Men raking the dead leaves and grass off the lawns. Boys playing ball in the street and on corner tots. Front doors standing wide open. Grass turning green. Women cleaning house. Folk' going about without heavy wraps. Kids chalking hieroglyphs on the sidewalk. Furnace fires cooling out. Men washing the family hus out on the street. These indicate the changing of the season better than anything we can think of. Senator lames Reed of Missouri turned his vials of verbal vitriol all over the vice president at Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This is one of the best things “Jimmy” Reed does. Most of his victims survive, however. He spent many hours and millions of words denouncing Herbert Hoover, and look what happened to hint. Lodge regalia and emblems totalled a business of more than $10,000,000 in the United States last year. Part of this is accounted for by one brother, who turned up with over $2,000 of emblematic jew elry on his clothing, but did not know the password. Mayor Jim seems surprised that some other offi cial knows the language of the game that “Poker Bob" Schenrk formulated rules for. Time was when .that vocabulary was part of the proper equipment of every cultured gentleman. A jury out in Kimball county was not impressed by a plea that indicated delayed ignition of thought. They found the defendant guilty of murder in the second degree. A visiting lecturer tells us the world is going mad. Suspected this for a long time, and yet It may be a mistake. Depends largely on the viewpoint. Opinion in the Nebraska senate seems fairly well divided, judging by the number^if votes that only show one nr two majority either way. Omaha knows well how to sympathize with the tornado victims. The memory of that dreadful Fas ter Sunday in l!)lff still is vivid here. A state bureau of publicity is to be organized. It will find lots of material at hand, for Nebraska has plenty to brag about. “Stop talking tommyrot,” advises Secretary Jar dine. Thereby saying a mouthful. Revival in the local marriage license market is r ow looked for. Omaha bank clearings still look healthy. Homespun Verse By Omaha'* Own Pont — Robert Worthington Doric v___j YOU’VE GOT A CHANCE.

From lh« l.ouisvllle < Nun ier-.l*»ur ii» I Vice President Dawes by bis debut on Inauguration day as presiding of ficer of the United States senate has signali/.ed inauguration day as one which, for the first time within mem ory, awakened in t tie country con aciousness that there is a vice presi dent as well as a president, lit fact. Mr. Dawes did this so effectively that one day, two days, after the inaugu ration ceremonesl it is the vice presi dent, not the president, who is the ■‘headliner" in public attention. Hut the aftermath of his perform ance—what may be its results and how it may affect the new vice pres ident's usefulness in office- is another story. The senate as a self-sufficient and arrogant body. Its province and imiHH'tanee in our governmelal sys tem are undeniably very great. In recent years it has seemed to assess them as supreme. It consistently as sumes to subordinate the presidency. It complacently and contemptuously takes upon itself the functions of the house of representatives. That is why the latter long-tried lardy a few weeks ago indignantly sent back to the upper chamber, with the Injunc tion that it attend to its own business, a bill which the senate had passed. And that is why those of Mr. Dawes auditors Tuesday who seemed most to enjoy Iris "roasting'' of lire senate were member* of the house of repre sentatives. That the senate, set hi its 1 radii ions, master of its procedure and jealous of its prerogatives as a body and as individual members of it should wrathfully resent the audacity of a new-comer in daring to tell them tn their faces that some of their rules were archaic, was inevitable. That they have been left in a frame of mind actually hostile to the matt who ie to preside over them for the next four years, is apparent. Their indig nation under the circumstances is comprehensible; if is alosn nmrrdir.:. The pity of it |« that the affair Is likely to result in nothing better than rage In the senate and amusement outside of it. Mr, Dawes spoke nothing but the truth—blunt, earnest truth; so earn est, indeed, that his very earnestness effected in the senate a manner of delivery that was offensive to those who were hit. Mr. Dawes’ counsel. I* will be generally admitted, was better than his discretion. He would ha v e been nllowqd no opportunity to give such c«un*ePlf he had been a new member of the senate It was regarded as an additional affront that he should give ii without being a member. What is to come of it all? Mr. Dawes himself can have no part in any revision of tire senate rules. The reaction of a majority of the senators i* such as apparently to make more improbable that ever *11. h a revis Ion as wishes. The only hope Is in the reaction of tire country. The new vice president's precedent-break ing performance has brought to‘the attention of the country a* never be tore the evils he complain* of Will public sentiment thus aroused i» It i match reflect upon the senate and bring about the needed revision of its l it*es? That prospect does not seem prom Ding The senate latelv ha* been pretty <al!ous to public '-enriment.

Omaha,-—To the Kditor of The Omaha Idee: Many people, I know, would wish to thank you for the edi torial on dog poisoning which so well expressed the feelings of afflicted ones and sympathizers. The writer lost a dearly prized dog friend some years since by such horrid means, and for his sake longs for vengeance on tlie wretched sneak who figures—unseen afler the manner of sneaks—in the local "crime wave." Knowing how the afflicted feel. 1 should like to give them a condoling message, and heg Ihem not to slacken their efforts to bring the guilty per son to justice. It ought not to he hard If enough money Is spent, liven a small contribution from every one Interested would foot up enormously. If any one should start a movement to raise such a fund, there are many who would give to the best of their ability, and the writer would joyfully be among them. The reward already offered Is not advertised enough to reach everybody. It should be In all the papers—even In the one that consents to print letters from the very dog enemies themselves —and with big headlines. Then you might gel results. It Is not conceivable that the hun dreds of dog lovers in this city should sit hack helplessly and wail till their valuable pels become victims of the murderous sneak! Some reporters take the mailer too lightly. It Is not a joke—not at all; especially when we hear of children picking up lames, possibly treated with strychnine, to IddP them away from their dogs! A being 1 ha I Is vicious enough In poison household pels, and halfwitted enough to rale Ihem whh rats.

INDIGNATION. Advice to the Preacher*. Council Bluff*.—To the Kditor c.f The Omaha Bee: The attitude of Itev. Wagner concerning c hun h membership “drives** instead of “re* \'lv.iIs" has elicited a number of rx pressed opinion* in this column of your paper. Paid, the Cre.it A|>n.*tle, declared • I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it Is the power of Cod unto salvation to every one that be* Iftveth, * etc. Our modern preacher*, with very few exception*, ate unable to so • state. *.\1nst of them are Utterly ushamed of the gospel of Christ, and nothing proves the foi l so rleurlv as for one of our so-called present das "nteinbr rShip drives. With absolutely no thought con cernlng the atonement of Christ, nor ofliie receiving such atonement I-' the new member* in any degree whatever, they are urged to asso ciate themselves with the church, ostensibly the Body of Christ on earth. The result is alwa .s and uni verftalh that not the slightest dif ference exists between the a'«jui,ed member* than the people of the world, who are entirely outside such member ship. poaafbly the additions may be-in to contribute to the bud get. hm one writer says. In any sum from live cent* up per week, with the -ibgohite fostered belief that in mi doing thev aic thereby constitut ed genuine and thorough “Chris tians.

The whole effort and thought • »f oui modern prtoher* i* to iHlse the budget ' and thev are 'worse than ashamed of the gospel i of Christ. In whole state* w «* find it not unusual for an entire year to without one single conversion reported tor some o' the leading de ii..mini t icon*. and tlie loiidithui grows worse daily. The remedy for sin lias been forgotten, and the pow ers of h regenerated life no longer believed In by any of our so called preachers. Of all the great needs of on r present degraded civilization, real preachers of the gospel are the great and trying lack and need. A famine of hearing the word of God is starving and destroying our na tion by (lie millions annually. L. H. MONKOK. I ncover the Intangibles. Alliion, Neb. —To the Kdltor of The Omaha Bee; I have read with inter est your articles on the editorial page regarding pending taxation leg islation at Lincoln. I have also made some study of the amount of in tan glble property returned for taxation and listened to the politicians with froth dripping from their mouths demand the repeal of the present in tangible law. Please explain what difference it makes what the rate of assessment is so long as so little of the proper ly is returned for assessment. A repeal of the law will accomplish one thing. It will still further penalize I he honest man and w ill have no ef fect whatever on the rnan who lies about his Intangible property to the assessor. He pays no tax now, never has and w ill pay none in t lie future, no matter what the rate is. Why not advocate a law that will uncover the intangible property ■ and when the property is listed it will not make* so much difference* what the ratio of taxation Is see long as ail property Is treated alike. \V. ,S.

You cannot Ameri canize the foreign born hv using the law as a whip to drive them in to it. 1 have been reading the letters from the leaders of The Omaha Bee tor some time and must say that some write the most unjust things pfcout the foreign born, accusing them of all the crimes in the world and always trying to tramp them down just a little bit lower. When the war whs on with Ger many the foreign born was not die criminated against, and they did all they could to help, and how many foreign born boys fought and died for the Stars and Stripes that could not say over a dozen words in Ameri can. let alone the reading and writ ing; they were good boss and good soldiers, even if they were foreign era. hut now since we are not fight ing the war i* over, they are no good crooks: they would even pro hibit them from voting.
