Its circular "appeal to common sense and decency” states that “about 3,000,000 cattle and sheep will starve to death dur ing the current year.” This statement is said to lest, on estimates made by the federal government. Moreover, ”$50,000,000 is a conservative estimate on what the death loss of cattle and sheep from starvation cost the American people last year.” All of which is important, if true. But, why be conservative? Why not throw the brake off, step on the gas, and let imagination swoop wide and free? Something of this sort is done in one para graph of the circular, which states: "That tens of millions of food animals are turned out to shift for themselves on frozen graz ing lands in the northwest and sun-parched prairies in the south, with the certainty of a lingering and tortuous death for millions of them from starvation or thirst." This not a new crusade. Many years ago Minnie Maddern Fiske, who is a great actress, began to agi tate for comfortable barns and shelters for range stock. Since that time the open range she still visions has largely disappeared. Now, as then, the owners of the herds and flocks are business men, deeply concerned in caring for their property. We wonder if Mrs. Fiske or any of her associates ever saw the trek of the sheep from the northern to the southern ranges, or hack again, as the seasons change? If they know that millions of tons nf food is stored every summer for winter feeding? How carefully the water supply is guarded on the cattle ranch? Other provisions are made to conserve the health and well being nf the animals, for a starvpd steer means a net loss of from $7 to $10 to his owner, and very few stockmen are in the busine*s exclusively for pleasure. How well meant interference with the ways of nature sometimes defeat the object sought is exem plified by the experience at the Kaihab National Forest, in Arizona. Permits to hunt deer were re fused for several yfcars, that the natural increase might multiply the animals. Last year's drouth rut thj food supply short, and the heavy snows of the eajly winter buried most of what was left, and the defr starved to death. How many know that the Is$ak Walton League raised more than *1,000,000 t<\buy hay and other feed for the elk in Jackson Hole during the last winter? Some animals do die on the range from cold, hunger or thirst. Such experience is unavoidable. Other animals die from disease. But the men who are engaged in the livestock industry are not the heartless monsters, whose course is described as “diabolical.” They are interested in their animals from a dollar^ and cents standpoint, which holds them as closely as sentiment might. Not one but wiD welcome a practicable plan for preventing range losses. But the “National League to Conserve Food Animals” is doing battle manfully against windmills. "OPEN DOOR" IN MOVING PICTURES. Either a “magnificent gesture” or real stroke nf genius is the new "open door” policy announced by Will H. Hays for the moving picture industry. He outlines his proposal thus: “The distinc tive characteristic of the new 'open door' policy is that we Invite every organization of every description in either this country or any other country which is interested tn public betterment, to designate an authoritative representative wHo will he its contact with the motion picture Industry —tnvited at. all times to come tn through our 'open door' and tell us of improvements which might be made in having the motion picture uvue responsive to Its public service obligations, and how we can Co operate with them.” Accepting this at its face value, it is an invita tion to the public to take at. least an advisory part in the great game of making the movies. Also, a challenga to the organized bodies that have actively worked to secure censorship boards under federal or state control. Mr. Hays meets them half-way, and gives them a chance to have something to say con cerning the character if pictures anil the general trend of the business before thp films come to the exhibitor’s screen. The most ready answer is that producers know in advance if the picture they are planning is worthy or not. None are so dull as to need instruction with regard to morality or decency. Standards vary, hut the safe plan is to take the highest and keep to it. That from ten to twenty million people patronize moving picture theaters daily argues only the popu larity of the entertainment. Whether this will he enhanced or lessened by innovations which may change the character of the films is to he determined. Uncertainty on this score will account for the re luctance with which change is approached by the producer*. We believe that, Mr. Hays makes his offer in good faith. Not so much to the bringing about of a great reform in the character of the pictures, perhaps, as to the end that, critics may he made a little more familiar with problems the producer has to deal with. Not the least of these is the fickleness of public tastes, the risk Incurred whenever a great produc tion ia presented. Happily, the causes for complaint against the movies have been largely eliminated by the producers, who have found that good clean pic ture* pay quite as well in the end as did the tort that hrought disapproval. Opening the door, to the end that counsel may be exchanged ought to facilitate the understanding that may quiet demand for rigid censorship-—in which there is more danger to the public than to the motion picture industry. PEACE BY "SECURITY” A certain definite note rnng clearly through the speech of Austen Chamberlain on the Geneva proto col. He told parliament, and the world, that the British government will have nothing further to do with the wreckage of that plan. If peace is to he saved for the world, it will come through other methods. While he did not specifically refer to the French "security” plan, he proposed that F.urope be united on the basis of guaranteed peace. In any such com pact Germany must be admitted as an equal and full partner. A mutual pact between Germany and her late enemies is the only certain way of allaying ex isting fears and restoring public confidence in thp nations of Europe. And these fears must be al layed, this confidence restored, if recovery is to be made. Europe can not go on as it is, says the Brit ish foreign minister. Divided into hostile camps, each distrustful of the other, the nations at present ere incapable of doing any of the things they must do in order to preserve the future. A new Armaged don, or a new pact is the alternative. Mr. Chamberlain did not offer any pledges for Germany, hut he did say: "The (Seminn government Is making a alneere amt honest attempt to lent up to a better state of things. If I understand Its, proposals rightly, tier many is prepared to guarantee voluntarily what hitherto it has aeeepted only under eoinpnlsion of the treat'—a status quo In the west.” With Germany so agreed, and working to the end of restoring its people to economic prosperity. With France reassured, and with the lesser nations given the guarantees of the stronger that they are not to he molested, peace in Europe may be secured. Cham berlain's program has a sound foundation, and will get careful examination. He has gone far in the direction opposite to that which MacDonald was traveling, and he is probably on the right track. HELIUM FOR THE BIG BALLOONS. Uncle Sam is owner of two of the largest dirigible balloons now in captivity. Each of these is worth several millions of dollars. From thirty to fifty men are employed in their operation while aloft. All of which makes it highly desirable that they be sur rounded with safety as far as is humanly possible. Aeronauts know that hydrogen, the most buoyant of gasses, is also very finicky and quite sudden when it gets ready to explode. An officer from Fort Omaha (lew during the war to Nebraska City on a practice flight. He landed his balloon safely, stepped out of the basket, and struck a match to light a cigaret. In an instant he was standing alongside the basket, hut the balloon was gone. Several times balloons ixploded in the hangar at Fort Omaha, once with fatal results to soldiers. In July, 1919, a dirigible balloon collapsed and fell in flames on a bank build ing at Chicago, killing ten persons. In 1921 the ZR-2 collapsed and exploded over the harbor of Hull, Eng land, and forty-two lives, including several Ameri cans, were lost. The following ypar the Roma disas ter at Hampton, Vt., cost thirty-four lives. Two years ago another army dirigible blew up at its moor ing post at Dayton. Such experiences prove the instability of hydro gen, and require the use of a substitute if obtain able. Helium gas, possessed of slightly less lifting power than hydrogen, *is inert and not liable to sud den explosions. It has been known to exist in large quantities in connection with the gas wells of the southwest! So plentiful has it become that the eost has been reduced from $1,500 to 10 cents per pubic foot. Enough has been produced, principally at Fort Worth to supply the Shenandoah and the Los Angeles. One of the last hills passed by congress and signed by the president provides that the government shall take over the control of helium gas. Its ex portation is forbidden, and its storage will be ar ranged for. Balloons that go up for the army or the ravy in the future will he filled with noninflammable gas. That much has been accomplished in the di rection of making flying safe for the balloonists. Sunday baseball nr not is the issue in a number of Nebraska towns, to be decided at the election next week. It is a change from the old-time ques tion of wet or dry. Pa Ferguson of Texas will be fully restored to his political rights if Governor Ma Ferguson signs the bill, and the latest indications were that she is fa vorably inclined. A skull half an inch thick has been unearthed in Arizona. It probably belonged to a man who thought the members of congress would not accept that in crease in salary. California courts do not show much sympathy for temperamental prize fighters. "Kid McCoy" has taken the count again at I.os Angeles. Henry Ford’s first airplane has been launched, and if it is as prolific as his first flivver, the birds will have to hunt a new sky to fly in. Mussolini got hack into the chamber In time to witness a free-for-nll fight between the deputies. Italian politics seems to he normal. Real estate transfers and building permit news show no sign that Omaha is slipping. We hope that pride of authorship will not induce the legislators to work overtime. When Omaha money Is spent for Omaha-made goods, it is well spent. -— ' Homespun Verse By Omaha's Own Poat— Rot>erl Worthington Davie. L_-/ MK.MOH V.

Front tho Wayne Herald: Addressing the Omaha Chamber nfi Commerce recently a prominent clti-l zen pointed out the importance* of greater home support for its institu-j tions if they are to he made to grow and prosper in harmony with popular expectations Kxerything being equal, he said the home institution should l>#> given preference. lie thinks products manufactured in Omaha should not he ignored by Omaha and Nebraska people. The metropolis l which is a source of pride in a great state, should he given carefjl ecu,aid oration in the matter of supplies in preference to remote centers that care nothing for this state beyorri what they can reap from it in he. d cf sh. The suggestion is worth herdi/.g by other and smaller ( enters \h*n D»#m ha.

Kver si nee Leonard Wood and Theo dore Roosevelt popularized the Platts burg idea the merit of special training of citizens for a limited period each vear has been recognized. The citi zens* military training camps, fash-, loned after Hie Plattsbtirg plat), have offered opportunities of an unusual sort to Increasing numbers of voting men. They have afforded training in Hie duties of citizenship, loyalty, dis cipline and patriotism, and have aided in building up dependable reserve forces that might be used in the event of a national crisis. Kach vear new features have been added to this training and enlarged facilities have been provided. Major Heneral Duncan, commanding the Seventh Corps area, announces that fourth year training at the ramps this summer will he open to young Tnc.i up to the age of 11 who can qualify I nr it. That will afford an opportun ity for men who have had military ex perience and who may still desire to keep themselves fit for future service. To these, as well as to the younger men who have never had the benefit of the comp* and those who wish to continue their training there, the chances held out for a month this summer should make an Irresistible a ppeal. The citizens’ camps ate essentially builders of American manhood. The youth who has a regard for his own! future welfare and the responsibilities of American citizenship will do well to consider them. Wealth «>f Nebraska. From the f* htivler Sun Corn and wheat sitiII on Nebraska farms are worth $7r».OOO.OftO, ac cording to estimates made from gov ernment re« ords for 1 he country. These government records Indicate that on March 1. the grain grower* of the country were holding 1.9 per rent of the corn harvested last fall. This is the largest corn holding on the farm for this time of the vear slince 1x98 with but two exceptions. 1901 and 1917. On that basis. N> braska farmers are holding approx! mutely 81.000,000 bushels of corn worth, on *he l»asis of average cur rent prices, mors than $81,000,000 Wheat reported on the farms Match 1 was 11 per cent of the last crop, making a total of more than 8.00ft,000 bushels, valued *f nearly $9,000,000 • *n Nebraska farms. Corn. wheat, and oats marketed fn Omaha In .Tan nary and February totalled 10,715,000 bushel* and brought the grower* a rash return of $18,000,000. Muc h of the corn, supplemented by oats, whic h is now being held, will be fed t»> livestock and marketed "on the hoof. Higher prices now prevailing for hogs, which have now reached the highest price level since the peak of 1020, is an inducement for the farm ers to hold these grains for feeding purposes. (io\eminent estimate of livestoc k on forms on January 1 indi cate that Nebraska leads seven other «tntes of the Tenth Federal Reserve district in this respect with $,.'>45,000 head of horses, mulfs, milk cows and beef cattle, hogs and sheep on the farms. Their increases since that date will more than offset, the value of the 10,584,000 head on Nebraska farms, January 1. 1924. which were then valued at $224,412,000. The High lost of Florida.

V___—-- ■ -X A Christian Science Correction. Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: A feature writer for your paper, in commenting on tlje passing of an English nobleman, ifi t ludes some misleading remarks re garding Christian Science. It seems that, as the suggestion of physicians, a special edition of a newspaper was prepared predicting the certain recov ery of a nobleman—evidently to hn courage the sick man—which practice the feature writer attempts to asso ciate with Christian Science. Christian Science healing does not consist of efforts to disengage atten tion from sin, sickness ami death by any process of mental suggestion or. in other words, by any action of the human, mortal mind. Christian Science recognizes God as divine Prin ciple. in whom “we live, and move, and have our being.” and its follow ers understand that the awakening to this reality of existence is the re demption, or resurrection If you please, from the bondage of sin. dis ease and death. A very apparent dis tinction between Christian Science and mental suggestion is that the former requires complete spiritualiza tion of the thoughts and Uses of Its adherents for all time, while the latter is satisfied if it appears to'nbtaln the temporary physical effects desired by those whose present alms are purely material. Paul has written. “Awake thou that steepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.'' and the accomplishment of tills awak ening involves much more than a human mind attempt to convince a patient that lie Is not sick and Is not going to die.

And you can hear the same thing Ini Omaha any dav if a couple of renter, get together. But the ow net s of property will Insist that they do not pay expenses. Galveston is a city of beautiful homes. The beautiful vards attract the eves of the tourist, and ‘hf^Xt dirt over Is that the beautiful lawns were made by hauling dirt n\ from the mainland. Galveston Island waa formerly a ahell reef This morning we had occasion to ordet a few Bowera and aupposed that In a country where flowers bloom .‘most the year around they would be comparatively cheap. But that is a mistake. Hoses down here cost twice as much as they do In Omaha. Galveston Is going to have the honor of entertaining the Associated Advertising clubs of the world one day during the convention at Houston In May. We listened In on a' ha’nh^r of Commerce discussion of arrangements yesterday and leatsed enough to realize that It 1* going to he one tremendously big day. Our sister’s home Is only thiee or four blocks from the cent i a I section of the great seawall, and occasionally we walk over to waf t, the fishermen. One pier is preserved for colored folk and it is always crowded. It is a regular vaudeville show to watch them and listen to them. The beach tesorts all open up Saturday and it will he a hiK day. Galveston Is In the throes of a school election, and down here that tskes precedence over an election of c ity ofr < tals. Housing tallies are held every night, and the colored popula tion Is encouraged to get busy and hold meetings. It is mighty easy to see that the klan Issue is well to the fore. One man street cars here, giving good service with a S cent fare The company cultivates public favor and one heats no complain** shout the service. With oil so plentiful and coal rornparati vcly cheap, fine would think that electric service heie would he cheap. The contrary Is true. Private consumers In Galveston pay more than double the price paid by Ornahan*. Tt’s all very well to think about getting away from home and work for a spell and just having a good time. But after a fellow has been off the job for a week, wandering around a strange citv without seeing s familial fate or hearing a familiar voice he begins to long for home. Right now wed give a prettv penny to be sitting at the Saints and Sinners table at the Athletic club, listening to the memlier* of that bunch abus ing one another.
