Helping With Reverse English.
A dintinRuihhrd group of senator! it prepar
ing to do all it can to hinder the administration
program for lifting the country out of the deep
Iiolc into which the democrats plunged it. One
. branch of this remarkable coterie, headed by
Korah of Idaho, is to attack the treaties recently
negotiated with Germany, Austria and Hungary.
The pretext on which these gentlemen propose
to justify their action is that the treaties are of a
nature that will involve the United States in
European diplomacy. How, may we ask, is it
possible for the United States to form a treaty
' with any European power and not have some
share in European affairs?
Another division of the army of opposition,
made up chiefly of democrats, will attack the
revenue measure, holding it back as long as they
can. These realise that the Kitchen-Simmons
bill of 1918 has outlived any usefulness it may
- have possessed as a war measure, and that the
, country must have relief, but that knowledge
will not deter them from standing in the way of
' the administration's efforts to secure that relief.
Where action is needed they propose to substi
tute talk.
Borah's group of implacables will air anew
the arguments for splendid isolation, so impos
sible of - realization. Harding's policy has
brought us peace with independence; we have
accepted no responsibility for Europe beyond
that involved in a proper management of our
own affairs, America can not hold aloof from
' the world movement; the utmost we can in de
cency do is to retain control of our domestic in
terests, aiding always in the solution of prob
lems that affect all and which can not be settled
by a single nation. Mr. Borah understands this,
nd his attitude is therefore the more inexplicable.
Some of his associates are less cryptic. ,

Darwin's Son and the Eugenic Outlook.
Jt it particularly fitting that the ton of Charles
Darwin should be head of the eugenict confer
ence which is holding its second international
meeting in New York City. Hit deep interest
in heredity and the future teems to complement
and to follow quite naturally out of the investi
gations by his father on the descent of man
through the past.
Maj. Leonard Darwin believes that the public
should realize more clearly what a potent in
Auence heredity has on the fate of nations. Racial
progress, he holds, is not assured by natue, but
could be made certain "if our biologists will
face these problems more earnestly than in the
past, if politicians will pay more attention to the
advice of scientific experts, and if the general
public will be guided by common sense in regard
to heredity."
'Two great forces influencing mankind are en
vironment and heredity. Improvement of en
vironment does not seem to have helped us very
much, Major Darwin declares. He points to the
spread of comforts, conveniences and sanitation
since the days of Plato, and then asks whether
man has kept pace with his surroundings. The
admission must be made that most of the ad
vance in civilization has been mechanical rather
than physical or mental. But while the ancient
philosophers, artists and writers may not have
been surpassed, the general level of culture is
much higher now than in any past age. No de
tcrioration in the innate qualities of civilized
peoples can as yet be justly claimed. However,
complacency is a dangerous state of mind for the
world, 'and it is well to consider the inborn
qualities of future generations and the menace
of neglect of natural laws through dependence
on the artificialities of civilization.
The Trend of Paternalism
Community Self-Reliance Being
Swallowed Up at Washington,
Public Opinion and War.
Each day's developments heighten the evident
'importance of the international conference on
Pacific policy and armament. It furthermore,
begins to appear that, unless agreement is found
in the rapidly approaching meeting, in Washing-,
.ton, a crisis in the world's affairs comparable
only to that out of which sprang the first world
war wilt threaten. It is not that the. harm will
spring from the attempt at international under-'
' standing, but that the course of future events will
be marked unmistakably by it ' ; '
.The November conference will be a show
down. The nations there represented will lay
their cards on the table. Nationalistic ambitions
;can' scarcely be concealed in these discussions,
,&nd without doubt many of them will be found
to overlap or conflict 'with others. The shib
.'boleths of "manifest destiny," "special interest"
and "national honor" will be backed up by the
claims of economx experts, geographers, statis
ticians and trade authorities.
Then if ever will be, the time for public sen
; imetit to remain cool. ' The stirring up of hos
tility against any foreign people would only make
the chance of final agreement -more difficult
, Public sentiment should indeed be intensely alive
to the problems of the conference, but the weight
of public opinion in each land should be exerted
on the delegation from that land. This is the
,3 test. If the people of America, Japan, Great
Britain, France, Italy, China and the rest dein
. mstrate themselves to be devoid of selfish aims
: .ml the bitter hatreds that flare up in wars, the
:ask of their "representatives in this conference
, will be made easier, and at the same time the in
spiration for excessive claims will be withdrawn.
Practical Industrial Co-Operation.
An advertisement of one of the great packing
companies sets out thtt more than 21,000 of its
! employes are stockholders in the concern, the
; par value of their holdings amounting to $24,-
- 500,000. Here is the most practical of all solu
tions for the industrial problem. Profit-sharing,
pension systems, employe's councils, and simi
lar devices to hold men to the job are effective
in Varying degrees, and yet are in the experi
mental stage. When a workman becomes part
" owner of the concern by which he is employed,
. he acquires a direct interest in its prosperity,
- something that is ponderable, and which exceeds
the indirect and not always appreciated advantage
of aa expected retirement 'allowance or some
similar boon to be acquired by long and faithful
service. His ownership does not lift him above
the discipline nor subject him to possible impo
sition, but it does give htm a sense of responsi
bility be is not likely to acquire otherwise. Sev-
' eral of the big American corporations have made
. it possible for employes to , become stock
holders, and ia each instance have noted an im
provement in morale that is quite as valuable in
itself as is the elemewVpf thrift induced by the
When It's Twins. Then What?
A judge of the district court. at Minneapolis
found himself confronted by a perplexing prob
lem. One of a pair of twins had stolen an au
tomobile, but neither the judge nor the court
attaches could select the culprit, and so the mat
ter was solved by dismissing both. Here is a
pretty problem. It would be unfair to punish
the innocent twin, and it is equally lamentable
that the guilty one should be permitted to escape
so easily. Usually one is chosen and it is thc.
between the pair to decide as to which it shall
be. However, bearing in mind the instance of
the bridegroom, who 'was asked how he distin
guished between his bride and her twin sister,
replied, "I don't try to," it is uncertain if the
subterfuge suggested would bear real results.
Then we have the case of the man who eloped
with triplets, and when overhauled and ques
tioned as to his reason, answered, "I couldn't
bear to break, the set." The Minnesota judge
might have satisfied justice by assessing a rea
sonable term of imprisonment, and then allow
ing the brothers to divide it between them. As
the matter stands, justice has been flouted by a
youth who is fortunate in having a brother so
nearly like him in appearance that the blind
goddess could not tell- one from the other.. Some
rule ought to be laid down for dealing with
twins.
A Bow to the "Sand Stormers."
. A group of healthyi husky youngsters has
been going about the streets of Omaha this week,
some in khaki,' some in mufti, but all wearing
neat-little white-ribboned badges, on which was
modestly printed a line that on close observa
tions designated them as members of the former
34th division, A. E. F. We refer to them as
healthy in way of compliment; it is their good
fortune. As husky, because that merely states a
fact. One had to be husky to survive Camp
Cody. Whatever else' may be true, "Bill" Cody
in his lifetime did nothing to deserve having his
name attached to the camp some benighted poli
tician at Washingtoil had established at Demin'
Several thousand Nebraska boys will . confirm
this. However, they had lots of pure water
down there. Those who went through the stress
and discomfort of training there earned any dis
tinction that ever may come .their way, not the
least of which is the. significant sobriquet they
attached to the division, that of "Sand Storm."
They served well on both sides of the water, and
deserve well because of their service. Omaha is
honored by their presence, and we surely hope
they will enjoy here all the things they missed
at the sadly misnamed Camp Cody.
, As to Information on Ireland.
The Bee prints this morning a very courteous
letter from Mr. J, O'Sullivan of O'Neill, in which
he discusses the- Irish question from hisview
point. We have neither desire nor intent to open
a controversy with Mr. O'Sullivan, but for his
information want to say that The Bee is not en
tirely without data with regard to Irish affairs.
We have on file the full text of the Smuts letter;
the Lloyd George letter and proposals to Sinn
Fein; the De Valera letter in response," and a
very considerable volume of other matter most
of 4t official, pertaining to the Irish dispute. Part
of .this comes from' Ireland, part from England,
and some from the United States. It may
please Mr. O'Sullivan to classify The Bee as
pro-British, but its regular readers know that
this paper is and has eyer been American at all
times and in all its aspirations. As to the quality
of intelligence, we are willing to let that matter
rest with the public.

(From the Philadelphia Ledger.
For a long time President Harding has stood
where he could atcli the rise, growth and work
inns of the 1 1 . i railed paternalism in govern
ment. His o .n stale had it share thereof.!
When he went to the senate he taw its steady
budding and blooming. From the White House
he gazes out over a nation, patch-worked
and crazy-quilted according to various twisted
and tortured patterns of paternalism.
Paternalism is one ot the pet aversions oi tne
president. He distrusts it as much at he doet the
drift toward "class" government. He knowt
there is something wrong when a sheriff, with
a riot on his hands, gets the governor by long
distance and appeals for help instead of ending
the riot himself. He sees states calling for fed
eral aid when they ought to be able to help
themselves.
In a letter to a regional conference of town
and county officials to be held in North Caro
lina, President Harding deplores this atrophy of
the old community self-reliance that it the foun
dation rock of self-government. He says:
There has been an inevitable tendency, be
cause of the .overwhelming important work
which confronted the national government, to
rely unduly upon it for the performance of
many functions which can only be discharged
properly by local administrative entities.
The president believes this "certain ineffi
ciency" will be "corrected whenever the attention
of the people is fully aroused." . . . Possibly,
but the drift continues. The ruts are wearing
deeper. It is so easy for a local health board
with typhoid fever on its hands to call tor state
help. The old self-reliance is gone. It is so easy
when a corn-borer appears in the fields or a case
of anthrax hits a herd to wash Jocal hands of it,
set the wheels moving that will revolve finally
in Washington and wait for the coming of help
from Washington. A community, instead of
fighting its own battles, sits down and waits for
help. The old backbone and resolution-are miss
ing.
All this is bound up with the dying of those
once hotlv defended rights of community, county
and state that 'were tor generations mighty po
luteal factors. It is entangled with the steady
centralization of power that has its seat in Wash
ington and that grows on, no matter what party
holds the reins. It is the background of the conceit-crusted
bureaucrat and the professional
bureaucracy that reached full flower and era
blazoned bloom during the war and the later
days of the Wilson administration.
In 1860 the insistence on states rights
brought the nation to civil war. The-pendulum
had swung so far in that direction that the
bayonet was needed to shove it back. In the 60
years since then it has traveled so far in the other
direction that centralization,' bureaucracy and pa
ternalism have become the accepted things.
Here and there a lone prophet cries his warn
ings from the wilderness, and President Harding
is one of these. There is power enough in Wash
ington now more than enough, and he knows it.

McAdoo's Supreme
Impertinence
Upon receipt of a communication from Mr.
McAdoo opposing the railroad settlement plan
of the Harding administration it would have been
becoming thing if the senate of the United
States had immediately passed the legislation
which was before it and which had already been
passed by the house. ;;
If there is any one man in the country to
whom the railroads are beholden for their exi
gent problems and if there is any one man in the
country whose absolute incompetency in all rail
road matters has been completely and thoroughly
demonstrated, that man is Mr. McAdoo. Years
are eonS in these days, yet there are many who
will recollect the extravagant claims of econ
omics to be effected which Mr. McAdoo made
when he assumed control of the railroads pf the
United States- The economies were never visual
ized on any balance sheets, but the deficits on
those sheets grew and magnified under his ad
ministration until it became doubtful if even the
credit of the United States government could
Stand the losses entailed. He broke down labor
morale on the roads and he tied the whole trans
portation system of the nation into such a Gor
dian. knot that the best railroad brains of the
country have not been able to untie' it. And
every commodity produced is taxed beyond en
durance by ruinously high railroad rates. '
In such circumstances, when a way out is at
last proposed and has about it all the elements
of feasibility, order and justice it is an imper
tinence for the former director general of rail
roads to interpose his veto and dare advise sen
ators of the United States not to sanction the
proposal. On general principles, much is to be
gained by always going contrary to the advice
of Mr. McAdoo in any railroad matter, and cer
tainly so when a fundamental policy is involved.
It is more important that the 6,000,000 men
now out of work in the United States should
have employment this winter than that Mr. Mc
Adoo. should be groomed for the presidency in
1924. Manufacturers' Record. -
Straws in the Economic Wind
Selling jobless men at auction is a theatrical
method of calling attention to the plight of the
unemployed, yet no less .effective for all that.
To be sold was a tragedy to the slaves in the
years before the civil war, but the men who
mounted the bandstand on Boston Common
wanted to be sold wanted any kind of work
at any kind of pay that would assure them food
and shelter. There were few bidders, for the
same reason that' there are few jobs to be had.
In good times men are hired to expand industries
and increase production; in hard times, when
there is no profit in production above a certain
minimum, men are discharged to cut down run
ning expenses. A slave is no more of an asset
than any other employe if there is no market
for what he can produce.
Shortly after the Roosevelt panic of 1907 some
unknown heckler interrupted a speech by Mr.
Taft at Cooper Union to inquire what a man
should do when out of work, penniless and un
able to get a job. Mr. Taft, being honest
minded, paused to make one of the most honest
and illuminating replies that ever came from a
political platform. "God knows," he said; "I
don't." - '
Governments have never known what to do
for a man out of work and have conveniently
turned the matter over to Providence.' But we
live in an industrial civilization, and nearly every
problem that comes before congress is industrial.
Unemployment is only one more industrial prob
lem which the government must face. In a year
when men are willing to sell themselves at auction
for a living the administration must face the
question put to Mr. Taft and make some head
way toward solving it or confess itself helpless
as a straw in the economic winds. New York

week. ,
Today his account is $1,352.10. He
states that he has scarcely missed the
small amount that he set aside weekly.
