: Those Armed Bands of Miners.
Xo sooner have the armed bands of miners
.in West Virginia dispersed than clashes with
'similar group arise in tlie coal district of south
'em Illinois. Disorders between the striking
; miners and the mine guards have existed there
..lor several days, and from the hills come re-
.'. ports of plans for marching in force to two
'-towns from which the workmen had been driven.
. There is a dearth of correspondence from thc
front, but it is probable that during the ten
months of this strike there has been wrong' on
".'both sides.
The claim is made that private detectives de
,-stroyed the tents in which the miners and their
"1-Ciilics had been living and forced them to
.leave. I he story is an oiu one lorce is met
avith force and wrong with wrong. Although
vr-e Constitution. of the United States guarantees
rbe right of citizens to bear arms, it clearly did
itot contemplate the settlement of industrial dis
putes by guerrilla wariare or countenance tne
shouldering of rifles for the purpose of settling
private grievances.

Tttal receipts for Visiting Nurse tag day fell
;short. of hopes of the women who keep the serv
ice moving. This is a matter that can and will
!be remedied later on, for Omaha will not allow
'the work to lag for lack of money to meet its
requirements. Some features of the day de
', serve notice, one of them being that $900 of the
'amount collected was in the shane of nickels.
Eighteen thousand nickels' requires explana

Lifting the Farmer Out of the Hole.
Utterly new commercial practices designed
to meet changed conditions are being evolved by
the war finance corporation, which under the
farm export bill has been authorized to make
loam to co-operative marketing associations and
any other concerns engaged in handling the
crops. Europe, it has been found, now prefers
to take our commodities gradually instead of in
short period as wis the rase before the war,
and does not want to buy in great quantities for
future shipmenfcTcn if credit is offered. Al
though farm exports have been large, purchases
have been of the hand-to-mouth 'ariely.' A year
ago America did not realize this change and
went ahead as usual, attempting to sell European
cuttomeri a year's supply in a few months.
Trices broke and foreign exchange went wild;
the task of the war finance corporation as viewed
by the manager, Eugene Meyer, jr., is to avoid
a repetition of this error. He .ays:
It is of the utmost importance to recogni.e
a new condition in our foreign trade. This
condition has less to do with credits to for
eigners and more with credits to Americans.
We must now recognize the necessity of sell
ing our agricultural products more gradually
than we did in former years, and therefore a
corresponding necessity to carry our com
modities here in America in larger quantities
for a longer period of marketing.
If we provide financing to hold our com
modities for more gradual marketing over a
longer period we will be doing only -what any
sensible merchant should do to handle his
business. It is not a question of holding for
speculative purposes; conditions compel us to
hold for gradual marketing if we do not want
to cause disaster to ourselves and to those
that buy from us.
In the current news Is reported an agree
ment to advance $1,200,000 in this way to a cot
ton growers' association in Arizona for financ
ing the domestic sale of cotton, and of a loan of
$150,000 to a California co-operative organiza
tion to finance the exportation of canned fruit.
Already the advance of $29,000,000 to producers
and handlers of farm products has been approved,
and negotiations are under way for as much
more. Mr. Meyer announces that in a few days
he will start on a tour of the farming and live
Stock sections to study the farmers' problems
and acquaint himself fully with their credit needs.
Merchants and bankers understand that they
can not pull themselves out of the hole without
pulling' the farmer out, top, and this lifting
power of this law is immense. . In authorizing.
aid to agriculture and placing a fund of $1,000,
000,000 at the disposal' of the farmers, congress
took what is hoped will be a most important
step toward financial and industrial recuperation.
Red Cross and Russian Relief..
How complicated the matter of sending food
to the starving in Russia may become is excel
lently illustrated by a line or two in the dis-
patches from Geneva.' Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, the
Norwegian explorer,' and head of the Interna
tional Red Cross, spoke of his hope of raising'
30,000,000 pounds" sterling,-with which, to pur
chase 200,000,000' tons of wheat, for Russia. On
his way to Geneva Dr. Nansen passed through
Enplandr but declined to outline his plans, be
yond the expression that he looked to the" British
for the larger part of his working' funds. - : , .
Dr. Nansen is known to have mad A an ar
rangement with the Soviets, and for this reason
Secretary Hoover declined to deal with him, fear
ing to trust any part of the relief work : to the
Leninites. In England a similar- distrust is
noted, and British relief will largely be bestowed
through the ' American Relief commission, - to
which the American Red Cross has turned over
its' share of the work. ' Leaders in both Englarjd
and the United States regret the action of. Dr.
Nansen, although the' latter .says he has an un
derstanding that all work will be Carried, on
under his direction; that his 'agents will have
charge of distributing alt relief in Russia, and
that he has confidence that the soviet govern,
ment will carry out its agreements in full.
This is not enough to establish a deep1 trust
in the reds, nor to dispel the; dread that supplies
intended for the starving women" and children
will, be intercepted and diverted to the com
missary of the red army. Incidents of the kind
already are reported, and may be repeated. The
situation is interesting as showing What follows
when one government or nation entirely earns
the distrust of those to which it must turn for
assistance. Russia will be fed for humanity's
sake, even if the Red Cross is not to function
as it properly should.

John D., Junior, Leads
Son, Not Father, Riche.t
Man in the World Today.
(From tht Philadelphia Ledger.
John D. Rockefeller, jr., not his f.tlicr, is the
richest person in the United States, says Henry
II. Klein, author of "DvnaMic America and
Those Who Own It," and first deputy commis
sioner of the city of New York. Mr. Klein esti
mates the Rockefeller family wealth at $2,400,
000,000, including the holdings in the founda
tions. Mr, Klein said:
"The latest stock lit of Standard Oil of New
Jerey. the largest Standard Oil corporation,
dhows that John D. Rockefeller, jr.. holds 452.080
common stock and 38,970 siffircs preferred and
that his father own only 1,000 ohares preferred.
The son's holdings are worth $70,000,000, while
the fathers are worth JIH'.OOO.
"The foundations touetlier hold about 410,000
shares common and 125.000 shares preferred and
John D., jr.'s sisters, Mrs. Edith U. McCormick
and Mrs. Alia Kockefellrr 1'rctiticr, hold to
srelher 125,000 shares common and 50.000 pre-
ferred The total value of the Rockefeller hold
ings in this one company exceeds $200,000,(100,
In 1919 John D. Rockefeller, sr.. held 149,130
shares common stock (.old issue) and Ins son
63,020.
"1 he Rockefeller holdings in Standard Oil of
Indiana were appraised in 1915 at $00,000,000.
At that time the capital of the company was only
$30,000,000, having been Increased from $1,000,
000 by the distribution of a stork dividend of
2,900 per cent. At that time 65,000 shares were
held by Herbert W. Gumbel, secretary to John
D., jr. Harry P. Fish, secretary to John D., sr.,
held 6.895 shares and Andrew H. Bates, another
Rockefeller "dummy." 6.500 shares.
"In 1916 the Rockefeller holdings in Standard
Oil of California were estimated at $85,000,000;
Standard Oil of New York. $45,000,000: Prairie
Pipe Line and Prairie Oil and Gas. at $20,000,000
each, and Vacuum Oil. Ohio Oil and Atlantic
Refining at $11,000,000 each. Each of these hold
ings is today worth half again as much. The
foundations hold about one-seventh of these se
curities. "Other large Rockefeller holdings arc in the
name of John D jr., and of 'dummies.' John D.,
jr., is credited with holding many thousand
shares of Pennsylvania railroad; Colorado Fuel
and Iron and Manhattan 'L
"The Rockefellers own $17,000,000 of $40,
000,000 par value Consolidated Coal company
stock, none of which is held, in thc foundations.
This company controls the coal fields, of West
Virginia, Maryland and Kentucky. All these
shares are held by Andrew H. Bates, Harry P.
Fish, Robert W. Gumbel and Bertram Cutler.
"Cutler, Fish, Gumbel and two others hold
$4,000,000 worth of stock in Consolidated Gas
company, New York City. Gumbel and Cutler
sre 'dummies' in the Illinois Central and Fish in
Wheeling and Lake Erie.
"The market value of all the Standard' Oil
companies is about $3,000,000,000. The Rocke
fellers own about 30 per cent, besides which they
own many millions in so-called independent oil
companies; such as Magnolia. Royal Dutch and
Sinclair. Their total oil holdings are worth at
least $1,000,000,000. They are the largest secur
ity holders in the railroads, mines, public utilities,
banks and other industrial corporations, their ag
gregate holdings in these properties being an
other $1,000,000,000. They: own about $300,000,
000 in national, state and city bonds and about
$100,000,000 in real estate and mortgages in New
York, Cleveland, Tarrytown, Lakewood and
other cities.
. "The foundations hold about $400,000,000 of
all the Rockefeller wealth, most of the balance
being in the name of John D., jr. When John
D., sr., dies his estate will undoubtedly show
less than $500,000,000, the balance having, been
distributed. When John D., jr. said a few days
ago that his father's estate never reached a bil
lion dollars and has been greatly reduced by
large gifts from principal in recent years, he un-.
doubtedly meant gifts to himself and his sisters,
as well as to the foundations, which young John
D. himself controls.

Vassals of the Lobby
Should Save the Hawaiians
Congress ha passed, an act looking to the
rehabilitation of the Hawaiian people if that be
found possible. Public lands are. to be sub
divided and allotted to families,: and any expense
involved taken from the rentals of lands already
occupied by sugar plantations. This so-called
Hawaiian homes act was passed in the hope that
the remnant of the race which once owned the
islands which we now occupy may be saved and
made self-sustaining. At present this people is
rapidly dying out.
, If the race can be saved it is a humanitarian
duty which devolves upon us. Like other South
Sea islanders, they were livl.ig and thriving ac
cording to their ideals when we tound tiiem. un
doubtedly they' would have, continued to' do so
had the whites who discovered them' sailed away
and never come back. They were inhabiting;
islands on Which a very simple life could be lived
with almost no" effort, and the races had adapted
themselves to their environment and were con
tent. Some vestiges of virility were maintained
by the continuous petty fighting which, partly
from ineffective weapons and partly from con
stitutional laziness, were not very destructive of
human life. : In contact wjth whites theyare all
-disappearing. . .
To put the Hawaiians in a condition to sus
tain themselves in the struggle for life they must
be reconstructed. It is, not certain that it can
be done. The people are mentally bright. There
are no brighter pupils than. Hawaiian children of
the public schools. But, having graduated with
honor at the high schoolsT they tend to go back
to living on fish and poi, with all that that im
plies. They lack initiative and energy and power
to resist disease, and whether that can be bred
into the race is uncertain. But it is our duty
to do all in our power to encourage that and it is
a duty which we shall discharge with most hearty
good will. San Francisco Chronicle.
Churches as Polling Places.
The election commissioners of Boston have
found what appears to be a happy solution of
the problcmof providing the additional voting
facilities made necessary by the advent of equal
suffrage. Some forty or more Sunday school
rooms have already been designated as regular
polling places.
The churches and Sunday schools in the. sev
eral sections of the country have made consider
able progress in recent years in the work of es
tablishing themselves as important civic centers.
Voting is one of the most important civic obli
gations. In becoming as they are in Boston
regularly established polling places the churches
are performing a particularly valuable service.
The precedent established by the Boston churches
might well be followed. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

"Here wo have threo bodies of the
legislature," said Senator Reed in ids
speech dealing with the. activities of
the prohibition lobby, "one the house,
another the senate and the. other the
Anti-Saloon league.",'
Tlw senator from Missouri claims
for the house and the senate an in
fluence and a prestige (hat they do
not possess. He-- makes them equal
and co-ordinate with the Anti-Saloon
league, whereas the record proves
that in all matters" of prohibition they
have been subordinate and. vassal. ,
The war-time prohibition law was
not drafted by any member of con
gress or by any commiUe of con
gress. It was framed by the paid at
torneys of the Anti -Saloon league
and enacted under the. -whip of the
paid lobby tf. the Anti-Saloon league.
The eighteenth amendment to the
constitution of the United States was
not drafted by any member of con
gress or by any committee of con
gress. It was framed by the paid at
torneys of the Anti-Saloon league
and driven through both branches
by the paid lobbyists of the Anti
Saloon league.
The prohibition enforcement act,-
wnicn Dears Mr. Volstead s name,
was not drafted by Mr. Volstead or
'by any other member of congress or
oy any committee , of congress. It,
too, was framed by' the paid, attor
neys of the Anti-Saloon league and
enacted Into law by the paid lobbyists
of the Anti-Saloon league.
The so-called anti-beer bill, which
is now engaging the attention of .crn.
gress to the exclusion of -.natters ot
vast national consequence, was not
drafted . by the members whose
names it bears or by any member of
congress or by anjf committee of con
gress. ; It also was framed by the;
j;aia attorneys or tne Anti-saloon
league. . v '
After the bill reached the senate
the members of that body ventured,
in an apologetic mood, to provide
that it must be enforced in a consti
tutional manner; but while the con
ference committee was in aession to
adjust the difference, it is charged
that Wayne B. Wheeler, the paid at
torney of the Anti-Saloon league,
was allowed to be present, although
representatives and senators them
selves are not permitted .t meetings
of a conference committee of which
they are not members. J-
This is what Senator Reed de
scribes as ."lobbying gone mad"; but
it is the kind of lobbying to which
congress has supinely submitted year
after year. Even now the execu
tive branch of the government, which
long ago decided that the eighteenth
amendment and the 'enforcement
legislation did not 'prohibit the
medicinal use of beer by prescription
of registered physicians, has held up
regulations that were prepared last
spring, because the paid lobbyists of
the Anti-Saloon league are engaged
in enacting legislation to nullify the
ruling of the attorney general. .
When Senator Reed insists that the
house and the senate of the congress
of the United States are co-equal
with the Anti-Saloon league in the
legislative branch of the government
he accords to them a distinction
which cowardice and hypocrisy long
ago surrendered. ' .

At Present Prices You Can
Heat Your Home With
Nokol
and Save Almost Half
the Cost of Coal
At this time last year oil was seliing at' 15 cents a
gallon. Today oil is selling at 9 cents almost half
its price last year,
Coal on the other hand is a little higher than
last year and Hoover says it's going still higher.
Last year mark this Nokol heating cost many of the
Nokol users less than coal. This winter most of them
will save half the cost of coal.
There is every reason to believe that approximately
the present ratio between the cost of coal and of oil
will be maintained.
The two great determining factors in the cost of
all fuel labor and transportation seem fixed for a
long time to. come. Oil is today selling at a price that'
is fairly based on cost, because oil costs much less per
unit in labor and transportation.
You will have to act quickly if .you want to make
this N;okol saving from drudgery, discomfort and ex
pense because
( Hundreds of Omaha Home
Owners Want to Install Nokol
But we can fill only a limited .
number of orders by cold weather. '
and we must fill them in their turn therefore we
urge you to make sure of your Nokol installation by
ordering now.
Your saving in fuel cost and in janitor service will
soon pay for your Nokol installation.
Every Nokol winter after that will bring you sub
stantial dividends on your investment.
Order your Nokol now, every day you put it off
