Federal Reserve Loans and Farmers.
While' agricultural production was approxi
fiiakly one-half of the total national output,
n I v 1 per crntjof all credit accommodations
from all f oiirccs were given to agriculture in
I9.T0. Tin's is an important joint in the con-'
trovrrsy between Governor McKetvie and
W. T. G. Harding, the head of the Federal
Reserve system. The discrimination which bore
heaviest on the farmers was not so much in
interest rates as in the distribution of credit
facilities. Many producers of foodstuffs could
tiot get loans at all and were forced to throw
their products on the market at unfavorable
(imes. i1"
, It is true that the Federal Reserve board has
given accommodations to agriculture and related
interests in farming sections somewhat greater
(hau its accommodations to other business, but
it is to be questioned whether the accommoda
tion was proportionate to the greater volume of
production in agriculture. , ' .
All over this country, south, north, east and
vest, the farmers are in a resentful mood against
the conduct of the Federal Reserve, system.
They believe ' there was a concerted policy to
refuse credit on unsold farm products, and that
this policy was carried out both by member
banks and non-members until it was found that
it threatened general ruin. The distribution of
credit, as analyzed before a congressional cofii-
mittce by John Skclton Williams, former comp
troller oi the currency, has favored the east at
the expense of the west and south. Rates as
high as 30 per cent paid for speculative loans in
.N'ew York drained credit money from all parts
of the country.
. Mr, Williams quotes from the records to
show that a year aao, when agricultural sec- '
tion$ were pleading for help, the national batiks
, bl New York, Chicago and St. Louis had re
celved . accommodations, chftfly- from 'the Re
serve system,' to the extent of 24 per cent of
their total loins and discounts. At the same
time the country banks' in the system, number
ing over 7,000, had received accommodation
through rediscounts and bills payable amounting
to only 10 per cent of their total loans and dis
counts. I' There has. been some improvement in this
"situation in the last several months, due, most
westerners will think, more to the efforts of
farm organizations and others who have pointed
' out the disastrous consequences of the old pol
icy. The bitter recrimination with which Gov
ernor Harding has jnct the suggestions of Gov
ernor McKelvie Serves to illustrate the stubborn
disinclination to yield that has characterized the
working of this Reserve system which has in it
so many splendid but unrealized possibilities.
When Charles S. Barrett, ' president of the
National Farmers' Union, was "recently in
Omaha, he declared in his. picturesque Georgia
way that, "The Farmers" of the country were
going to have the hide of Governor W. P. G.
Harding 011 a pole," The acerbity of the official
in question appears to indicate that the process
of lifting the hide has begun. - " 'f: '

. World Relations Imperative.
When Messrs. Borah and Johnson arrayed
themselves agaiiut 'the League of Nations he
cause of the fact that it would entangle the
United States in European affairs, they rested
their ease on the advice given by George Wash
ington in h "Farewell Address." Opposing
the recently - negotiated treaties between the
United States 011 the one side and Germany,
Austria and Hungary on the other, these gen
tlemen again invoke the spirit of the first presi
dent of the republic . In this they are joined by
Shields of Tennessee and others, not all of whom
have shown the consistency that marks the trio
of sturdy advocates for complete isolation.
What they object to in the pending treaties
is the provision that will permit the United
States to be represented on the reparation com
mission. This, they hold, necessarily implies
participation in European politics. To' sustain
ucb a view a rather strained construction must
lc given the purpose of reparation. Admitting,
though, that the presence of the United States
at any session of such a commission does bind
us to the agreement there reached, have we not
an interest in such proceedings? As active
parties to the war, moving in common with our
associates, do we not yet hold some share in the
settlement of that, war? Not only that, but in
the future problems that may arise as a result
of the war?
The Wilson program would have surren
dered to a super-government some measure of
our national independence; the Harding plan
permits, us to take our proper place at the coun
cil tabic, not bound in advance by a policy
agreed upon by others, but free to act as right
and justice require. The United States cannot
evade its responsibility to the rest of the world;
it must assume a definite and helpful attitude
towards Europe as well as to nations elsewhere,
and must sustain a full share of the "white
man's burden."
1 Such a course does not iuvolve entangle
ment with foreign nations" to our own danger
or detriment. We can be friendly with all,
helpful to all, share in all discussions and ad
justments, and sacrifice nothing of our own
independence or jeopardize any of our liberties.
But we can not selfishly look with indifference
on proceedings across the sea on either side of
us. Our relations to the world arc imperative,
for our destiny has ' broken down the barriers
that isolated our country from the "world.
Where to Lookfor Rescue.
Among the things that could not have been
put better is a sentence of M. L. Corey of the
Federal Land bank in hi speech to Nebraska
bankers at Grand Island. "If one pulls a drown
ing man from the water, he does not wait to re
vive him until he may order', a putmotor from
Washington,? Said Mr. "-.Corey. Business 1. haS
been' in deep' water for some time, and. -some
lines, as agriculture, have . taken considerable
water into the lungs, ;.:
' First aid quite properly should be expected
from those nearest at hand. Cheapecand better
credit, more efficient marketing and a spirit of
neighborly co-operation -instead of back-biting,
mutual aid as well as self-help, are among the
correctives that are ready at hand.
',': America is an immense country, and neither
all the governing nor all the relief can be centered
. in the national capital. It is in the nature of
great bodies to .move slowly, and prompter ac
tion as well as that more suited to special needs
is to be anticipated from smaller units. Not
everything that goes wrong is to be blamed on
the national administration, nor can it unaided
by individual and local efforts be expected to
. right everything. " ' . , ;
Foiling Mail Robbers. , .
While it is "beyond reason to give credit;
for such . things as fine fall -' weather or
food trops to the republican administration,
and while it is customary for partisans to claim
. great many other things without reserve, yet
Postmaster General Hays does not go a bit
loo far , in taking credit for .practically putting
an end to robberies' o mail cars. Omaha and
Council Bluffs have not forgotten the plunder
taken from I train here a few months ago by a
gang of bandits. It is also remembered that
there was an epidemic of - such depredations
about that time. , - ' ;
Then came the announcement of-the post

Democrats and Tax Revision.
It is quite interesting to note that the attack
on the revenue bill in the senate from the demo
cratic side is Jed by Walsh of Massachusetts
and Gerry of Rhode Island. Simmons of North
Carolina, who was chairman of the finance com
mittee of the senate when the present law was
framed, is silent for the moment, and Overman,
Pou and others from, the south appear to have,
temporarily relinquished leadership to their
northern colleagues, although the battle has not
gone far enough to develop , the tactics to be
followed by the opposition.'
The .Gerry amendment, ; however, exposes
the insincerity of assertions made by the local
mouthpiece of the unterrifiea1. Here we have
been told that the purpose of the bill is to take
the burden of taxation off the wealthy and the
corporations, and add it- to the load already
borne by the poor. Senator Gerry, defending
his proposal for a new form of corporation ta,
explains that his plan will relieve 195,000 cor
porations and lay it on 4,000 others To com
pensate for loss of revenue; he wjll lay a tax of
1 per' cent per gallon on gasoline at its source.
Following out a rule laid down by the previous
administration for estimating the cost to the
consumer of an 'increase at. the source, this
would mean S cents a gallon by the time the
gasoline reached the consumer's tank. As has
been the experience in the added tobacco and
similar taxes, to collect $1 for the government,
the law would permit the taking of $5 by the
various hands through which the article passes
on its way from source to consumption.
The Walsh amendment to lower the normal
rate on incomes below $15,000 may be looked
upon as a "talking point" for the-democrats.
The bill as presented by the republicans takes
good care of the family man of small income,
and lays no undue pressure on those whose means
are limited. As the debate progresses, the atti
tude of the democrats will undoubtedly be more
clearly revealed as merely one of opposition.

Lesson of Cheap Production
Concerning the always interesting Henry
Ford, last week furnished two items. One is
that Detroit, on the basis of a tax assessment
just made, estimates the Ford fortune at $750,
000,000. The other is that the price of flivvers is
again reduced, and that a touring car is now pur
chasable for $355. '
The two items might it would seem, be profit
ably studied by muddled economists of the radi
cal type who hold that when a man grows rich
it necessarily means that he is a robber. Busi
ness men say that as industry is' prevailingly car
ried on in this country the way to. wealth is to
produce an article or a service at a lower cost
than others, and to command the market by di
viding the saving with the public But the voice
of the agitator is loud and its noise downs out
the arguments. Congress passes tax laws spe
cially penalizing those who get high profits
through profit sharing. "
Much is said of the hardships flowing from
the business depression. A hard winter is fore
seen. There is much discussion of measures of
amelioration. About the most effective one that
can be conceived of is to turn the managerial
genius of the country loose to produce as
economically as it can. Such release would tend
to keep, wages up and prices down and to give
every worker a job. What else will? New York
Tribune. I . .
Tapping Won't Help Her.
Mrs. S. writes: "My aunt has been
ill with heart disease for the last
three months. -Her legs, abdomen,
and hands are swollen. The doctor
says it would bo useless to tap her,
as she would fill right up again.'
Others .say tapping would relieve
her for a short while, anyway, if it
didn't cure-her, for that is impossi
ble. I think she would get a little
stronger if this poison was got out,
tind believe in tapping her. What
would you think in tfiis case?"
REPLY, : -
In dropsy due to heart disease as
a rule it is wrong to tap. The tap
wound heals poorly. The water in
the tissues is not poisonous. It is
the same water and salts as ero to
make up the blood, In part.. If she
will remain quietly in bed, eat no
salt, drink very little water and take
digitalis as her physiician prescribes
there is a fair chance that the dropsy
will disappear. : Tapping does not
remove the- cause.
For . Parents to Read. ,
Pessimist wries: "Alarm clocks
are cheap. I have t often wondered
why my mother did 'not buy one and
have it wake me once or oftener in
the night, rather ' than have me
humiliated and shamed by the ter
rible affiotion of bed wetting. For
nothing could be more humiliating
to a sensitive child than this afflic
tion, and I do not doubt that some
of the unexplained tragedies of child
suicide so often reported are due to
it. . But neither you ncr anybody
else who has not thus suffered can
understand. My whole life has been
embittered, although my affliction
passed away at puberty. Anyway,
even if a child sleeps too soundly
to be awakened by the clock, It is
the duty of the parents to awaken
it, for have they not inflicted upon
it. without its consent, the horrors
of human existence?"
Give Tomato Juice, Too. 1
Mrs. M. S. writes: "What shall I
feed my 8 -months-old baby? She
weighs 23 pounds and S ounces and
she is breast fed." She only sleeps
15 minutes at a time."
REPLY.
In addition to breast milk, an 8-months-old
healthy baby should
have fruit juice, strained canned
tomato juice, cereals, strained vege
table soup, and hard bread. She
must be kept more quiet and get
more sleep. Do not feed oftener
than every four hours.
When Midgets Marry.
T. B. wriee: "If midgets marry,
will their offspring also be midgets?"

Yes, in most cases. If all grand
parents as well as parents are small,
the children are .more apt to be
small. Many midgets are incapable
of parentage.

Mr. Ilrown DTtlncs.
Omaha, Sept. 22. To the Editor
of The Bee: A party who signs him
self with a I jit hi prescription, wants
ine to quote tho identical Latin
words that Caesar used when he
said that .J.he Irish were forever
f-polling for a fight. I am not going
to doit. In the first place, I do not
know what I did with tho Latin pony
I used in high school, and in the
second place, if I. found those words
for him he would probably want
me to find some other Latin quota
tions, probably the original words
of "I ranie, I saw, I conquered." or
"All Gaul is divided into three
parts." There is no stopping such
a person. Then after he had gotten
through with that he indicates that
he would badger me to fix the date
of the dawn of history. No, elr, I
I won't do it
There has probably never been an
observer no matter how punk, and
Julius Caesar was not. that kind,
who did hot pronounce the Irish as
forever spoiling for a light. If we
did not have Caesar's word for it in
his Commentaries, which we have,
we. would all know that ' he made
this remark. Everybody makes It
But I never before knew an Irish
man to take offense at it. In fact,
fighting is the Irishman's middle
name. It is taught in every Irish
family by precept and example' and
the eighteenth amendment is the
only thing that has evor threatened
to undermine this national charac
teristic. However, if this Latin
Quotation still wants to fight it out
I will pass the bucfe to the author
of my statement, ono Hilary Har
dwire, whose name listens Irish.
- The quotation is taken from a
book of his entitled "Julius Caesar,
Who He Was, and W hat He Accom- '
plished." These are the words:
"That the conquest was not per
fectly stable and complete Caesar
must have known, ''for the Gallic
spirit is ever spoiling for a fight,' and
their mind is unstable and very un
prepared to endure calamities'."
The editor, E. Hakleman-Julius, in
a foot note adds "Caesar's judgment
on the Celtic race would not be con
sidered as unfounded or careless
generalization on Its members to
day." -
I like. to be accommodating, but
that does not mean that I want to
fight. I am not Irish nor am I a
literary I'narisee.

Little Eva in 1921
(From the Philadelphia Idger.)
The birthday of the first of all the
Little Evas has just been celebrated
in Cambridge, Mass.
" The scholarly Prof. Barrett Wen
dell of that seat of learning wrote in
his history of American literature
that a play made from Harriet
Beecher Stowe's book was still he
had been told performed in coun
try places.
Professor Wendell, a brilliant and
perceptive critic, was of a temper
too aristocratic to appreciate ' the
Arm hold of "Uncle Tom's- Cabin" in
play-form as in book-form on the
public imagination,
Dickens' Little Nell and Mrs.
Stowe's Little Eva have become epic
figures, taken to the heart and en
shrined in the sentimental fancy of
the people. It's of no avail to come
along with high-brow language and
tell the host of readers that they
are sawdust dolls. Don't you remember-
the first time you saw
"Uncle Tom's Cabin?" Perhaps it
was also the last and yet for the
two pivotal characters of the negro
slave and the little white girl of his
worshipful devotion ' there were
scenes whose pathos only the hard
hearted and the sophisticated could
resist. In fact, some versions of the
play relieve the strain on the
pocket-handkerchief by introducing
to the astonished spectator two
Topsys and , two of pretty nearly
everybody in the cast except Uncle
Tom and Litle Eva. Our last ex
perience was with a production that
introduced the violent comedy relief
of a Cakewalk directly after the
deathbed and angelic transformation
sec-tie.
When the American public ceases
to care for Stephen Foster's songs
and no longer wants to hear of the
plantation, then nobody will patron
ize the play or read the book. But
until that time the bloodhounds will
continue to chase Eliza, across the
ie and Simon Legree will crack his
whip till the gallery's blood runs
cold.
