Thirty-two years ago corn touched the nadir
tit its price swing. Xevrr before or since in
JCcbraska's history has the great staple crop gone
a low as it was in the fall and winter of 1889.
Theu as now, thj freight rate was a consider
able factor, and out of that grew the agitation
t!at led to the parage of the Newberry Lill by the
. legislature of 1 8V 1 , the opening gun hi the gen
eral campar. that led to the establishment
eventually ti the Mute railway commission to
regulate rates. Immediate relief for the farmer
vat imperative, then as now, but it was not ac
complished solely by the enactment of legislation.
The meat packing industry had at that time
trade considerable headway along the Missouri
river, but had not attained its- preseut propor
tions. It did offer a solution, however, and the
farmers turned their com into pork, and through
t!:e combination derived return for their effort.
This avenue (.till is open. Hog prices on the
market at present are such as promise a far
tetter return for corn than if it is sold as grain
only. Freight rates are high on live stock, just
as on grain, but the bushel of corn will be
brought much nearer to a parity with the other
factors in the farmer's problem if it be presented
tJr sale as hogs on the hoof.
,', " Talk of allowing the corn crop to go to waste
fu heard, but this should not be permitted. Cer
tainly, there is opportunity for some salvage,
which is to be preferred to the total loss that will
follow the unharvested crop. The Bee believes
that such talk is but the echo of an undeniable
and perfectly natural indignation, and does not
reflect the real judgment of the Nebraska
farmers. ,
Promises have been made of reductions in
freight rates. If these are realized, the benefit
ought to go to the agricultural industry, which
has suffered most severely in the unequal de
flation process. Just now all farm prices are too
low, and until they are improved at least to the
point of covering cost of production, the hoped
for return of general prosperity will be delayed.
Join Men and Jobs.
There is but one way by which men and
women may live who are unemployed and who
have no store of savings upon which to draw.
That is by charity. They live by charity or
they die. , . . .
IT. The charity comes from the more fortunate,
the well-to-do, who have accumulated a rainy
day. surplus. They give of that surplus to keep
their fellow man alive.
. But why wait for the call of charity? Why
ttot give the man or woman unemployed a job?
" The drain upon the man who gives is no
'greater if he gives employment than if he gives
as charity. The saving of self-respect on the
part of the recipient, is great; the saving- of
telf-respect on the part of society is great If
employment is given,, if the factory chimneys
belch smoke once more, men may take heart
i again. .. ,". -
' There is many a job which "can be done today,
or which can be postponed until tomorrow. Let
c not postpone it. Let us do it now. .
It is with this thought that The Bee lias an
nounced a willingness to publish free of charge
advertisements in the "Help Wanted" and "Sit
uations Wanted" divisions of its classified ad
vertising section. It wants to let down the bars,
csj that nothing intervenes to keep the job from
the man and the man from the job. '
Let it not be said that a job is vacant because
there isn't the right roan or woman to fill it.
Let it not be said that a man or woman goes
unemployed today because an employer doesn't
know that this particular, type of workman is
available. Let ns put two and two together and
ir akc four, wherever it is possible to do it and
let us do it now I
"' Not Really Ashamed of America.
' ' 111 spite of appearances, it is impossible to
believe that any considerable body of citizens is
ashamed of America. Efforts to attract a politi
cal following by assailing the honor ( and judg
ment of the people and their constituted author
ities most assuredly are destined to fail. James
M. Cox, defeated candidate for the presidency,
hks risen from the ruins of his partisan, machine
to remark on the "pathetic status" of the United
States in world affairs. The national adminis
tration seems to him to be "guided in its nonde
script policies by the un-American elements that
made its election possible." Although he admits
that this is not really a renegade nation, he in
dicates that vindication can only tome by elect
ing . democrats.
. Every democratic politician seeking- office is
playing this tune. The way in which the repub
lican majority is handling the affairs of the peo
ple, is said to be extremely depressing. From
what point of view these low spirits are discov
ered can easily be imagined. The results of a
senatorial election m New Mexico indicated that
public faith in the present administration is still
strong " '
.The depression of the democratic statesmen
aid politicians i pathetic, no matter what its
Cause. They are even shedding tears because
the tariff bill has not been rushed through, al
though they are opposed to the protective policy.
XI they wen sincere, they would welcome the
delay instead of trying to hasten the imposi
lion of higher duties by their goading.
As the republican leader in congress, Frank
W, Monde!!, declared on his recent visit to
Omaha, this administration has accomplished
more results and moved faster both on taxation
and tariff problems than any previous adminis
tration on entering- office- But, we are told, the
main effort of President Harding now Is to hold
the republican party together. In this respect
the democrats differ, since their effort is to piece
their party together again. It cau not be done,
however, from the soapbox of envy and discon
tent, hut can only come through the presentation
of a definite, constructive program.
Discussing Absolute Disarmament.
As the day for opening the Washington con
ference approaches, the advocates of absolute
disarmament are pressing their case with greater
vigor. Their postulate is a simple one: A world
without armies or navies will soon become a
world without war. Universal peace is desirable,
as it means the passage of all the abhorrent fea
tures of war. Human progress will be greater
when the moiety at least of man's productive ef
fort is not turned to destruction.
Admitting all of this, and with no abatement
of his idealism, the president undertakes to reply
to one of his many correspondents, showing the
difference between "a message of hopelessness
to those seeking universal disarmament," and the
reasonable limitation which means "something
practical that there is a chance to accomplish.'
His case rests on human experience, and the
idealist who denies this stands in his own light
Man's nature still is imperfect; the peaceful and
orderly must be protected against the unruly and
ill-dispositioned. We have nude and are making
headway, the gathering at Washington being an
evidence of the progress of i.utions toward the
goal of concord and harmony in all their rela
tions.
Despite tho desires of the eaiighlened, the
world contains those who are unready to obey
the law of love. Against these defense must ever
be ready, and that defense inevitably must as
sume the character of physical force. This does
not mean the world as an armed camp, but it
does mean the readiness of the Christian peoples
to protect their ideals against the attack that is
certain to follow abandonment of their ramparts.
It also means that between Christian nations a
better feeling will be sustained when it is known
that injustice or imposition will not be. tolerated
by any against any.
Sincere devotedness to the ideals of the paci
fist should not lead to disappointment because
those ideals are not immediately realized, any
more than the delayed return of the Messiah
should be adopted as an argument that His
teachings are futile. A reasonable mind will
know that a long step is being taken at Wash
ington, and that, even if a regenerated world
does not emerge from that conference, at least
the peace that all long for has suffered nothing
because common sense has prevailed over sentimentality.

Those Who Get Nothing in Return.
The incurably romantic strain of the Ameri
can people is demonstrated by the size of the
headlines put over a story stating that most of
the funds of the Ku Klux Klan are paid out for
salaries of officials, as if the news were surpris
ing. Always the heart longs to feel that a great
leader has arisen who recks naught of money and
is living his life and giving his services for the
benefit of others. Now it has been revealed that
the. chief kookoo of the Klan accepts $1,000 a
week as his reward. One idol after another falls
and it has not yet occurred to turn the search in
another direction.
It very often happens that the purest motives,
the finest ideals, repose in the followers of large
movements instead of their leaders. While it
does not seem that the misguided program of this
terroristic order could attract any one of high
ideals, yet the membership probably is much
better in character than its leadership. Not an
unusual situation, at alt The man who follows
in any movement, political or otherwise, as a
rule gives more and gets less in return if one is
looking for an unselfish, generous-spirited person,
doing what he is doing without hope of reward
or recognition, let him look at the rear rank
rather than the front.
Another of Dawes Ideas.
President Harding's selection for the im
portant post of business manager of the United
States bids fair to forfeit his popularity at Grand
Rapids, and perhaps in some other localities.
One of his observations disclosed that the United
States government is a considerable purchaser
of filing cases, document cabinets, and the like.
Also, he read in the papers of considerable dis
tress caused by laying off men at the navy yards.
A little inquiry discovered that the machinery at
the navy yards is capable of turning out the very
things the government is buying in large quanti
ties. Now he is moving to have the idle workers
and the idle machinery coupled into the process
of turning out the filing cases and other similar
material the government needs in its business, and
as a result a considerable saving will be effected,
because the government can make this sort of
thing much cheaper than it can be bought in
open market Here is another chance for
"Jimmy" Reed to call attention to the uncon
stitutionality of having a fellow like Dawes
prowling around and interfering with the ma
chinery at Washington. The taxpayers, howr
ever, will appreciate the efforts being made to
save public money by cutting down expenses.

Six Barrels and -a Quarter.
The country seems to be in a ferment, as one
might say, over the recently developed fact that
every householder in the United States is en
titled under the law to make not to exceed 200
gallons of wine for the exclusive use of himself,
his lamily and his friends. It appears that this
right has existed since the enactment of the Vol
stead act, but the prohibition officials never ad
vertised the fact, and many c tizens have stealth

certain deplorable results.
They should call off these
grandiose plans of theirs for ram

of the delegates. Let them keep to
the original intentions of watching
the conference and reporting back
to the people who sent them to
Washington. But they should keep
their well-meaning but Inexperi
enced fingers out of the machinery,
forget the plans to "stampede" the
conference and give tip the Idea of
being a "super council."
The saddest of the many things
It isn't necessary to get a permit from the
prohibition, director in order to make up 200 gal
lons of wine, the official announcement says, but
one is expected to notify the director of one's in
tention. Just why the people should be required
to give notice of their intention to do a legal act
is not made plain, but it isn't much trouble to
drop' a postal card to headquarters. '
After the wine is made the householder has a
right to set it aside and let nature take its course.
However, 200 gallons of wine is the ultimate
limit that any single citizen may make unless he
secures a permit from the prohibition' director,
deposits a bond and pays the internal revenue tax
on the excess. But 200 gallons amouqts to 800
quarts, or 1,600 pints, and with care that ought

Autumn Calls
You To Walk
A sparkle in the air beckons you
to swing out; into a walk. Will your
feet stand a gay hike up the Ave
nue? Or do they wobble and ache
at the end of a few blocks? Then
turn your footsteps to our store.
As smart as you wish, and as
comfortable as a moccasin, is the
Cantilever Shoe.
It has a heel well-set for poise, a
sole line well designed for comfort;
room for the toes, support for the
arch. And a shank that flexes with
every step. ,
Truly is there youth in your walk
in a Cantilever Shoe, for the foot
is freed from a stiff, unrelenting
sole. The blood circulates freely,
the muscles grow strong. Canti
levers correct and prevent fallen
arches and make walking one of the
big joys of Autumn.

A Student's Account
Account No.. 1585 was opened in
April 1914 by a student. He saved
systematically as he studied. - and
when his school work was completed
the savings habit was firmly fixed.
Today he is still adding regularly
to his savings account, which now
amounts to $481.08. This will shortly
be withdrawn for a profitable in
vestment, but in the meantime he is
starting a new one lor use in the
future.
