Considerable public misapprehension affects the Milwaukee road, because it is now in receivers’ hands. The railroad as such still is a going concern. Its troubles are financial, not physical. Due to mis takes of enterprise, rather than to any difficulty* in handling its traffic. Trains still operate, hauling passengers and freight over the great region served by the line. Fifty thousand employes still are on the payroll, certain of their wages each month. In everything that goes to make up a railroad, the Milwaukee is the same now as it was before the federal court intervened in order to make possible a readjustment of the finances of the company. Sev eral lengthy sermons have been recited, concerning the methods by which the money was raised to ex tend the line across the continent, to equip it with the best of cars, machinery, motive power and the like. To electrify its service over 600 miles of moun tain region. To give it high standing in the trans portation service. Only Wall Street and the in \estors have felt the effect of the receivership. “In over five years we have not killed a passen ger in a passenger train accident,” says B. B. Greer, chifcf operating official under the receivers. He adds: “We have been dping a good job of railroading, we can do better, and we are going to do it.” And, with this spirit extending down through the person nel of the operating force, the answer is certain. As a railroad the Milwaukee is as good as ever it was. TREES AND THE CITY STREETS. The sojourning brother who advises that Omaha {streets should be beautified by planting of trees comes too late. He should have arrived before the prevailing idea took root. That in order to make a street available for business purposes it must be denuded of tree growth. Take Capitol avenue as an illustration. That thoroughfare had been parked, made beautiful, and offered a sort of oasis in the downtown district. In order that the needs of the next generation might he anticipated, the fine trees were cut down, the parking removed, and solid pave ment spread over what had been a beauty spot. While trees may not be an inseparable part of a downtown business district, and Omaha thrives fairly well without them, residence parts of the city need them. To the glory of the city, be it said, the early comers realized this truth. Trees were planted where none had grown, and spared where nature had provided them. The result of this is mile on mile of well-shaded avenues, running all over the older residence portions of the town. Home builders in the newer sections have emulated the example of the older. Trees and shrubs are among the first things installed. Real estate men have encouraged this by lining the streets in their additions with trees, which in time will increase the value as well as the beauty of the homes that arc coming. Omahans appreciate trees. They show that ap preciation by the care they give to planting and nur turing them. Jefferson Square may remain forever the only downtown breathing spot, but once away from business the resident or visitor finds himself in the presence of forest monarchs whose majesty tes tifies that "Only God can make a tree.” Watch the unfolding of the leaves during the next few days, and realize that Omaha truly is a city of thousands of trees. "BUSINESS IS GOOD, THANK YOU.” A few years ago John and Horace Dodge took a chance with a fellow named Henry Ford, who thought he had an idea. It turned out that Ford did have an idea. In the words of the ribald ditty: "He took four spools And an old tin can. And put ’em all together. And the darned thing ran." So fast and so far did it run that no place on earth, unless it is the peak of Mount Everest, is un familiar With the Ford output. Just how much the Dodge brothers invested in the Ford concern is not known, but about ten years ago they had an idea. They caahed in on their Ford holdings, and took out a sum of money that seemed respectable, even then. With it they began to inflate their own idea. That also prospered, and now the small sum of 1175,000,000 is being pai(l for the outgrowth of the original Ford idea plus the money the Dodge brothers risked, plus the development of their own idea. It was not magic. No wizard’s wand or Alad din’s lamp. Just a bit of inventive genius, supple mented by capacity for direction and management. Manufacturing skill added to merchandizing ability. It has been done before. The adage about the mouse trap and the home in the wilderness is true. If you doubt it, try making a mouse-trap better than any other, or get an idea such as Henry Ford or the Dodge brothers had, and watch what happens. ' COMPETITION AND CONSEQUENCES. Certain Nebraska towns have been engaged in what seems like a most laudable competition. They have been striving to see which community could ahow the larger attendance at church and Sunday ■chool. On this might rest a comparison as to the moral standing of each community, assuming that such a test might be made. So the contest went on over a specified number of weeks, and finally the totals were made, and £hr issue determined. What is the net result .’ So far as can be gamed »• from the newspapers, which fostered the trial in every way by publicity and encouragement, one aide shouts, “We won, hurrah!" The other side points out that with a fair count, and no favor, the result would have been different. Accuses the winner of having worked in repeaters, by reason of holding extra services on Sunday afternoons, by which the opportunity w-as given for duplicating attendance, counting the same individual twice in one day. If night services were included, the same man may have been counted thrice on each Sunday. Can any good for religion, morals, or better citi zenship come out of such contests? Church at tendance is to he encouraged by all legitimate meth ods. Something about this plan, though, rather smacks of the worldly to the extent at least that the text may have been lost sight of in the attendance count. Or the lesson of the sermon have vanished in the interest given to hearing from the rival camp. If St. Peter keeps a profit and loss account, and he probably does, the chances are that such affairs will be properly entered. And that will not be on the profit side, either. POSTAL REGULATIONS AND EMPLOYES. Postmaster General New, as an act of grace and executive clemency, has restored to the service six highly placed postal employes. They had been sus pended some months ago because of infraction of postal regulations. Specifically, it was charged they had raised money for the purpose of aiding in the passage of a bill that would increase the pay of pos tal employes. In restoring these men to the service, the postmaster general demoted each and reduced his pay. Each suffers a cut in pay of from $500 to $1,650 a year. Mr. New explains that Edward H. McDermott, as sistant secretary of the senate committee on post offices and post roads, was the approach through which the employes reached the committee. McDer mott demanded and received money from the men. The postmaster general says he was “insistent and merciless in his demands." A mitigating circum stance, but not sufficient to excuse the act of the men, who contributed from their own means $2,585 to meet McDermott’s exactions, and also agreed to levy an assessment on other employes. It is not-al leged that the payment of tTiia sum affected in any way the progress of the bill. It was given to Mc Dermott, and by him kept. What happened to Mc Dermott is not stated. On thes urface, the punishment seems unduly se vere. Postal regulations are rigid and severe. To maintain the integrity of the service its rules must be enforced without favor. Yet, these men were victims rather than victimize!**. To punish them by demotion accompanied by loss of pay, which in effect is a fine, to go on year after year, is out of propor tion to the offense. We believe in the postal service, in the honor and faith of ifs personnel. Also, that punishment should be swift and certain, but in every case it should be commensurate and not vindictive. To fine a man $1,650 a year for the rest of his term of service in the postofflee, no matter how long that may be, is laying it on rather thick. NEW USE FOR LIFE INSURANCE. Long ago the principle of life insurance became embedded in the affairs of men. It embodies the practice of cumulative thrift, accompanied by the I prospect of payment of the amount of indemnity in event of death before the policy has matured. This, of course, having to do with the so-called “endow ment” or “tontine” forms of insurance. The straight life insurance policy has no fixed time for determination short of death. Specified term policies are by far the most popular and productive of the many offered for selection. The use of these is being extended by experience almost daily. One of the latest evidences of the adaptability of life insurance comes from Princeton university. Graduates there are making certain of ability to donate to alma mater by insuring contributions to be made twenty-five years hence. By the payment of stipulated sum as premium, the graduate puts him self in position of certainty as to the amount he will be able to contribute to the fund of school in twenty or twenty-five years. All he has to do is to pay the premium regularly, and the insurance company will take care of the rest. In other ways this principle is applied. A num ber of Nebraska men have insured their lives for the benefit of an educational fund in which they are in terested. Other men have made like provision for the endowment of various institutions. It illustrates the possibility of life insurance being indefinitely ex tended in its service. Not only to provide for the dependent wife and children, but to take care of what are generally regarded as beneficences. As life insurance in its fundamental aspect is merely cumulative thrift, these methods of employing its service are as sound in principle as anything can be. * Tt appears that a legislature that adjourns In March is still an eventuality of future time, so far as Nebraska is concerned. Twenty fourth street will not Be widened be tween St. Mary's and Farnam this year. Not at the proposed cost. It didn’t take John D. long to find out that Ne braska had a gas tax law in effect. A "city beautiful” as well as useful Is Omaha's destiny. 1 Homespun Verse By Omaha'* Own Poet — Robert Worthington Davie. \- ■ -.^ LAST NIGHT.

Neb.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Inasmuch as I had no chance to discuss tire child labor amendment in the house because when House Roll No. 152 came up the most extreme gag rule known to any as sembljs was used In order to allow no debate, 1 wish a portion of space iu your paper to suv onjy a little on the matter that ought to ne said. Why were the words "limit" and "regulate" used in the 20th amend ment if not to made plain without a doubt tliut congress in the future could not pass a law to prohibit all children up to IS years old from work ing? In reading all the committee hearings on this matter of the 6sth session of tip? congress tlilts is very plainly brought out. Even if congress should override thope words and do such a thing, it is plain that the su preme court would declare it uncon stitutional. It would have to do It because the inserting of the words "limit and regulate” conclusively show that the word “prohibit” except in a limited manner, cannot he applied. Why was the word "prohibit” used? Because the states themselves have found they could not pass effective laws that would not be violated with out using this word. Already 40 states have tills very word prohibit on their statutes, as they apply to hazardous occupations, and some states have the age limit as high as 21. When this amendment is raiilied by 38 states las It will be) it will only give congress power to pass uniform laws to limit and regu late the hours of employment and sanitary and moral conditions and to prohibit in dangerous occupations. Why tiie 18-year limit? It Is a very conservative limit, liecause 4t) out of 4S states now prohibit in dan gerous occupations to this age limit or higher. Which is the greater crime: To allow employers to enter our homes and take, as the 1920 cen sus shows, 1,080,808 children from 10 to 15 years, and have them work until they are stunted and crippled and illiterate, then turn them loose to become a menace to our government In any or all states, or to give to Uncle Sam the power to keep them nut of ; factories and put them in school, and color in their cheeks and make them citizens to he proud of? ],ast but not least, would It not be better and far more sane to put over a million men or women, actual or potential parents, to work in the place of these children, that they may be able to support themselves and their children? THOMAS AXTELL. Strong for Prohibition. Oetavla, Neb.—No, we cannot go back on prohibition as long as our hearts beat for the American woman, and they always will. The time has come that when we cannot ignore them and do not want to Ignore them any more. The constant car* that she gave us, and with what anxiety she watched over us and gave us all without stimulants. Her hours of labor far exceed that of man. What man Is there that would exchange life with a woman, not one, A person cannot stimulate above normal without a reaction, and that reaction falls heaviest on the women and children, and causes more lasting grief than anything else, both on the born and the unborn. I am an old man and have seen the deploring influence and the debasing effects of stimulants, and although 1 do not use it, I have felt its piercing slings. Those who love Christ must, love humanity and uphold its best in terests. Booth could kill Lincoln, but Lin coln's soul Is still marching on. but the victim of the bootlegger Is de stroyed, both soul and body. I would rather have a son of mine robbed and killed for his money by s high way robber than have a bootiegRer make a slave of him and turn hint lower and lower and drive him away from Christteachings, l have some charity for a matt that Is addicted to drinking, as a good man told me his father was a drinking man and he had Inherited the taste. Such men need sympathy. But here come the boot legger and tempts such men, as well as thoughtless young men. We can not find language strong enough to condemn the bootlegger. He is a rebel against our country's laws and never could a man be engaged In a more damnable debasing business. Kansas has had prohibition for 40 years and It Is a success there SKTH V A NDKRKOLfC. Pole Resents Misrepresentation, Omaha.—To t lie Kdltor of The Omaha Bee: An article appeared In a local paper on April 1. under the heading "Poles of South Side Resent Governor's Act.” The alleged recentment Menu to grow' out of the fact that the gov ernor dismissed a certain citizen of Polish extraction, recently appointed food Inspector for iJouglas county, it Is further claimed that the article referred to that the party dismissed was selectsd with the consent of the Polish leaders of the South Side. Th truth of the matter Is that the selection was not made with th# con sent of llie Polish lenders, no official authority hnvlnir been given to thn< effect, but os a result of the efforts of a sinsle Individual, who merely acted in th" capacity of a close per sonal friend lo the appointee, Tn so far, therefore, ss the selection wsa made by sp Individual, and was not properly sufhorlzed or consented to by th# Polish voters, there Is no A . .V Abe Martin Tell Binkley started for Wa-h in'ton t’day t’ see th’ president, which don't sound altogether unren son aide Aunt Tildy Hensley, who owned th' only Copper apple hutter kettle in this town fer many years, passed away t'day ns gracefully ni an investigation.

Xot long ago the Interior of the Cave of Alacpelah, which Abraham bought from Ephron the Hittite. was photographed for the first time. Here are hurled Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca. .Tacob and Leah. The authenticity of the tombs has never lieen questioned, nor hate they ever been opened since they received their occupants. Wliti the .Moslems conquered Pales Hue. they carefully preserved tlie place in conformity with their cus tom. During tlie short-lived Chris tian occupation in the 11th century, tlie Crusaders built a castle like church over tlie cave, which the Turks eventually turned Into a mosque. For centuries no Christian was permitted to enier it except on rare occasions. One of tlie last to lie thus honored was the late King Edward. The six sepulchers are each marked by chapels. Abraham's tomb, guariIfJ, by massive gates of solid silver, con sists of a coflin-like structure built of plastered stone, covered by three ex quisite carpets, the gifts of sultans. The tomb of Sarah no Christian is ever i*ermltted to see under any cir cumstances because of the Moslem conventions with regard to women. It is something to reflect on that through all the thousands of years which have elapsed since Abraham was gathered to his fathers, his rest ing place should have been left invio late, despite the war and turmoil which have ceaselessly raged about it. Does it not seem that Providence had determined that this dust should not lie disturbed until the last provision of the law shall lie fulfilled'.’ “Weeks.” From the Nebiueka. City Press. Tt has required the outburst of a Xebraska educator, C. Ray Gates, superintendent of the Grand Island schools, to bring to our attention the overdoing of the ‘‘week” celebrations and observances. Air. Gates points out that this con stant enlistment of the schools' aid In "putting over” some sort of propa ganda every week Is hurting the work of education in that it diverts tlie at tention of both teacher and student from the work at hand. The shame of it. of course, lies In the fact that these "weeks” are usually in the Interest of favored sections of the population, not design ed. particularly, to help the public as a whole. Some forward-looking pro moter a few years ago Invented the idea, and at once he found plenty of imitators, until now the entire year is taken up with propaganda that clutters up the landscape and leaves behind only a feeling of nausea. It is time to stop the "week” husi ness in this country, and it is right and proper that the schools, rolielling at the Idea of being made the vehicle In which private enterprise shall ride tc fame and profit, should he the first to call a halt. Value of the Br>an«. From the Madison Star-Mail. For the first time in history the Brothers Bryan have been snuffed out of sight. While talk is going on about the resurrection of the demo cratic party, the party leaders seem to he dumbfounded, confused, without knowing a road to travel on and without leaders. Wliat democrat is preaching the doctrine of W. J. Bryan or of "Brother"? Yet there never was a condition that would carry demon racy to victory as easily as now unless 'It was in 1924. With the country with them and reasons a plenty when the party should be returned to power. ground for any such resentment as s'tated In the Omaha paper. The sen timent expressed therein Is vigorously objected to by many reputable Polish people, among them a good numlier of democrats, ns representing the senti ment not of tlie Polish people, hut of a single seif-elected leader who has apparently chosen himself also (o act as a mouthpiece for the people. We regret that our people were thus misrepresented, and trust that this will aright any false Impression which may have been made in connection with the Incident referred to. POLE. they were outgeneraled and divided so that the present administration was returned by a minority of the popular votes augmented by the multitude of disgusted and hopeless democratic voters from one branch, and hopeless and disgusted J«a Follette voters on the other, who did not want Uoolldge elected, but expressed their disgust and dissatisfaction hv voting for him. The favorite sons of different states helped materially by preventing the nomination of either McAdoo or Smith. Tho insistence of Governor Bryan that he abandon bis stale nomination for governor and aspire to tlie presidency, Is a sample of what hit the democrats. Here, Governor Bryan was elected in 1H22 on a plat form to reduce the profligate cost of government under the McKelyle regime, and only partially accomplish ed It because he had an antagonistic legislature to contend with. He could have been re-elected governor had he not kept a dog in the manger attitude to aspire to something higher. He kept other stale candidates from filing only to sell the people of ihe state and his party for a mess of pottage. \Vho is there to mourn for “Brother?" Not one. A Shoals Commission. From tins Milwaukee Journal. The president bn/ named on his commission to study the .Muscle Shoals problem a lawyer, a banker-manufac turer. a chemical engineer, an elec trical engineer and a representative of farm organizations. Some criticism may he heard because ex-Senator Dial is one of these five men. for Mr. Dial was prominent in the last congress by reason of his vote to sustain the president's veto of the original postal salaries ldll. Mr. Dial, a “lame duck" democrat, furnished the one vote necessary to uphold the president's veto, and to do so had to reverse his previous vote in favor of the hill. But Mr. Dial has been connected with de velopment of electrical power from river waters and Its use In manufac turing. and brings to the commission practical business experience with water power. It will also he recalled that ex-Representatlve McKenzie, the lawyer on the commission, introduced the bill which would have authorized acceptance of Henry Ford's bid for the shoals. But this may have no significance. Inclusion of a chemical engineer is a happy thought, for much of the dis pute In congress revolved around whether fertilizers could be eco nomically produced at Muscle Shoals. Congress was so confused about the whole proposition that we saw state ments of one progressive republican senator about the shoals flatly con tradicted by another progressive re publican senator. And when the sen ate hill to dispose of the shoals was In conference with the house bill that accepted the Impossible Henry Ford offer, the conferees went so far beyond their Instructions that the whole mat ter was thrown on the junk heap. The people have jn investment of HOn.<100.non lying Idle at Muscle Shoals, hut it is better to delay than by hasty legislation nnko a mess of the enterprise There should have * heeen a commission of this nature to j dig up facts five years ago.

In fact, oil is the secret of Texas development during the past decade. Hut Dalhis has more than oil. It lias a tremendous wholesale trade and not a liltle manufacturing. Meat packing is also an important industry, but that Is small compared with the old home town, toward which we are now headed. One of the magnificent structures of Dallas is Hie Medical Al ls building. It reminded us so much of our own Medical Arts building—it is so different. The one here is only 2u stories high, and already it is overcrowded and a new unit is soon to lie added. We refer to this In the hope that it might spur certain parlies in Omaha to get busy and cover up the unsightly skele- ■ ton at Seventeenth and Dodge. Dallas is about the size of Omaha, but has more big build ings. The Magnolia Oil Company building is 25 stories, and the Santa Fe is building wluit is said to he the largest railroad building in the World. In reality it is four buildings, each cov ering a quarter of a block on four blocks, 20 stories high* and connected by underground railroads and conduits. Dut Dallas streets are narrow. With all the space in the world to build a city, their streets are only half as wide as those in Omaha, and when it comes to parks and boulevards the old home town lias Dallas skinned four ways from the jack. Visited the Galveston News and Journal office this morning and felt right at home. We get ’em over our radio every night when at home. This city is said to he the headquarters of the Klan for the entire southwest. From all we can gather it dominates politics in this section. We havp discovered one thing while down here— the Bryan* are-no longer in good odor with Texas democrats. Colonel Johnson, founder and long time editor of the Houston Post " a one of the original Bryan men in Texas. JIe went the limit for William J. in three campaigns, only to suffer the usual fate of those who dared to differ from Bryan. He was abused and called a traitor because he would not accept Bryan’s govern ment ownership ideas, and the Bryan batteries were turned on him. We have talked with scores of Texas democrats and have yet to hear one speak a good word for either of the Bryans. The depot "red caps’’ down here are all gentlemen of color. This morning we had one carry our heavy grip about a quarter •of a mile and then we said "thank you" in our sweetest man ner. The red cap smiled and said, “Voil ah very welcome. Cap tain.” Whereupon we loosened up and gave about double the ordinary tin. # Nebraska’s pint law is matched by Texas’ law prohibiting card playing on trains. The chairman of the Texas state board of control Is pleading to have all good liquor that is seized sent to the hoard for distribution amoi/ the eelemosynary in stitutions of the state. He says there aiV many aged dependents who need the liquor for medicinal purposes. His plaintive plea reminds us that we, too. are growing old. Texas limerick. There was an old man in Fort Worth. Who grew too tremendous of girth. He heard of a diet And he thought he would try it— Now he sleeps under six feet of earth. A reminder of home—the Dallas Chamber of Commerce !« offering prizes to school children for the best essays on "Know Dallas." Another reminder—Dallas is In the thrives of a city election. City covered with election poster* So far a* we can learn it isn't Klan and anti Klan, but one Klan faction against another. WILL M. MATT IN.
