How to End Unemployment.
Some practical suggestions came out of' the
unemployment conference, which adjourned
without day on Thursday. Difference of opinion
between the employer and the labor group as to
how to approach a readjustment of production
cost need surprise no one. All will agree, whether
the disputants reach that point together or
separately, that certain factors in the problem
have not been brought to a proper relation with
the others. Contention as to the causes for the
persistence of these peaks and the presentation
of counter-claims, mainly academic in their na
ture, will not materially assist in the arrival at
the level on which industrial activity may freely
move.
Fortunately, this unsettled debate is not the
entire work of the conference. ' Many really
worth while suggestions are returned with the
endorsement of the conferees, and are being
promulgated with the whole-hearted approval of
Secretary Hoover. Chief among these is that
one which relegates to the communities the task
of giving first aid to the jobless. It should be
under the direction of the mayor. How this may
be carried out is outlined by various tentative
proposals, all having to do with temporary or
part time employment. To carry out these
recommendations, the mayor must have the
hearty co-operation of private employers, other
wise the proposed remedy fails. ;
Definite recommendations include one calling
for a repeal of the Adamson law and the aboli
tion of the railway labor board, presented by the
majority or "employers" group, while the minor
ity or "labor" members oppose this. Develop
ments in railway management within the last
decade have shown the necessity of some ma
chinery for the adjustment of general employ
ment questions, and it may be doubted if the
government ever will entirely relinquish its con
trol in this regard. That the Adamson law is
defective in many regards, has long been clear,
but its princinplc has been upheld by the su
preme court of the United States. The labor
board as constituted lacks something tf being
entirely serviceable and modification of the laws
is unquestionably needed. -
Another r. .c .i:nendation will fasten popular
attention on a question long considered by econ
omtsts, agd particularly employment managers,
It has to do with what is commonly defined as
"seasonal employment." Some plan for rear
ranging the operations cf industry to expand the
employment period over a greater number of
days, using fewer workmen but giving each a
longer time on the pay roll each year, is the aim
sought here.
Only those wlio expected too much or too
little from the conference will be disappointed.
No magic formula has come from it, but some
sane and worth while methods for relieving the
present condition are offered. On how. they will
be applied depends the benefit to come.
Re-Married? " ,
From Lincoln conies an account, given the
support of much circumstantial evidence, of ef
forts being made by Senator Hitchcock to bring
about harmony in the democratic ranks in Ne
braska. It is planned, the story goes, to run J.
N. Norton for governor, this as a sop to the
progressive-Bryan wing of the, party, with the
understanding that the Bryanites will accept this
much as enough and will give the senator an un
disputed renomination.
How times do' change. In 1910, when Sena
tor Hitchcock first won his present title, and
when the Hitchcock-Shallenberger machine con
trolled the democratic convention at Grand Is
land, there was no concession to harmony. The
Bryanites and all others who disagreed with the
machine were right royally rolled. In 1916, when
the senator was up for re-election and Mr. Bryan
was seeking one of several places on the Ne
braska delegation to the national convention,
there was no offer of a split of the .spoils. Mr.
Hitchcock insisted and succeeded in annexing the
whole ticket in the primary senator, governor,
national committeeman and national convention
delegates.
But in 1921, preparing for 1922, the watch
word is "harmony." And why this holding out
of the olive branch? Can it be that the old
steam roller is not as sturdy as once it was? Can
it be that the defeat of "King Arthur" Mullen
in last year's race for national committeeman
and the victor of an anti-Hitchcock delegation
to the national convention can these things have
inspired a belief that discretion is the better part
of valor?
"Harmony" in Nebraska democracy! What
wonder will woman suffrage and prohibition next
bring to passl . '
More Interest in Books.
People in Omaha are reading more, reports
from the library show. The! increase in circula
tion of books for home reading this year has
been 30,245 over last year. - It is to be regretted
that figures are not at hand on what was read,
for quality here is more important than quantity.
The assortment of reading at the Omaha
public library is large and representative. One
could go among the stacks blindfolded and be
small danger of picking out a book that eV
woo 14 not be the better for reading. Of courts
trh creeps in, for sores mention hat to be Pi4
lo tn the most ordinary mte. A library nude
p only el masterpieces would hf a (mall one,
indeed, although it could scarcely tt assembled
on five-foot shelf. But after !, there ar few
books that do not contain som hint agahut
which the reader's steel will strike spark.
The evidence of wider uie of the city library,
and the moves toward the extension of tranches
sre encouraging. Winter is an excellent time to
get into the reading habit, and from now on
until spring calls outdoors there should be
itesdy enlargement Ot tht demand for good lit
erature.
Interstate Commerce and Internationalism.
That devoted section of the democratic party
which clings with fatuous fondness to the ex
ploded WiUonian ideal of internationalism sees
only national disgrace in any effort of the repub
lican party to protect the domestic affairs of the
United States. They were willing to violate the
Constitution of the United States that the Treaty
of Yeraailles might be ratified at Woodrow Wil
son's behest, and they are at willing to continue
to violate the constitution in order that his plan
for crippling interstate commerce may be per
petuated.
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty, which superseded
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, deals with the conv
incrce earried on outside the boundaries of the
United States. It can not, even remotely, affect
commerce between states. This should be clear
to anyone. England and all other nations knew
when that treaty was ratified that the coastwise
water-borne traffic of the United States was
closed to all vessels foreign built or of foreign
registry. A ship of that. description could not
begin a voyage at one port of the United States
and end it at another without incurring a 'pen
alty. Some Nebraskans earned this when they
made a voyage around the world in an English
boat, leaving New York and undertaking
eventually to land at San Francisco.
The Bee already has pointed out that goods
carried by water from New York to San Fran
cisco arc as truly part of interstate commerce as
goods carried by water from Norfolk to Phila
delphia or Baltimore. The president and senate
may negotiate treaties with respect to foreign com
merce; it requires the action of congress, and
this includes the house, to make laws regulating
interstate commerce. Therefore, a treaty with
England that interferes with trade between the
states is ultra vires, without power and can not
stand against our constitution. We may make
laws by treaty, but the constitution can not be
so amended. This ought to be plain to the
group of mourners who are now so cast down
by the senate's action in repealing the; law levy
tolls on coastwise traffic via the Panama canal.
Rediscount Rates a Local Question.
Unexpected support of Governor McKclvie's
drive for lower rediscount rates from the fed
eral reserve bank of this district comes from
Francis H. Sisson, a widely known Wall Street
banker. On his visit to Omaha Mr. Sisson did
not conceal his mystification at the contrast of a
rediscount rate of 5 per cent in the east and of 6
per cent here. The delegates at a farmers' meet
ing which met the day before looked at the sit
uation in much the same way.
However, there is no need for a continuation
of the long-distance controversy with the federal
reserve officials in Washington. This great
banking system, which is usually thought of as
being purely a governmental affair is in reality
no more so than the railroads would be if the
nation should buy them and turn them over to
the railroad workers to run. 'In other words,
the federal reserve bank of each district is con
trolled by a local board of bankers. The cen
tral board in Washington acts in the capacity
of adviser. The New York and Boston districts
lowered their rates on their own initiative, and
the same thing could be done here.
The most direct pressure for lower rates of
rediscount can be exerted, not through Wash
ington, but through the directorate of the Tenth
Federal Reserve district. The financial system
of this country should not be drawn unnecessarily
into politics, and the matter in dispute ought to be
capable of adjustment without going to Washington.

Changes Down on the Farm.
Greater changes may face agriculture than
any other industry unless the parity between
raw materials and manufactured products is soon
restored. Instead of raising crops to sell and
using the money to purchase the necessaries of
life, including many things that he could pro
duce but does not, the individual farmer may
adopt a more nearly self-sustaining system. Al
most any farm can produce more of the food
and other articles for family use. In some parts
of the country the wool clip, instead of being
sold at an unfavorable price, is sent from the
farm to the mill and wqven into cloth and
blankets which become the property of the
farmer without the mediation of any broker or
retail dealer. The practice of home slaughtering
atso is capable of extension.
Production for sale is being discouraged by
the low prices of farm products but production
for home use is being encouraged. The case of
agriculture is exactly what that of an auto-'
mobile factory or other industrial establishment
would be if the demand slackened and prices
fell below the cost of production. Either the
plants would close down or they would turn to
making other articles from which a profit could
be extracted. The prices of farm products
should be higher. This is not only for the sake
of the farmer but in the interest also of business
and labor and of the stability of present com
mercial standards.

Senator Hitchcock's claim that lower grain
prices are connected with the farm tariff is re
markable for its failure to take into considera
tion any other factor. That is the trouble with
so many theories they would work well in a
vacuum, but where other matters enter in they
go awry. Would the Nebraska statesman be
willing, to affirm the belief that free trade in grain
and wool would result in ' higher prices to
growers?
Dairy farmers who have organized with the
expressed intention of lowering prices of their
products probably are not unselfish, but realize
that the cheaper prices will widen the demand.

When It comes to explaining tho
exUtence of these enlargements phy
nlelun are at sea. One explanation
of the crest prevalence or the con
dltlon In adolpKcent children and
children Just below the adolescent
period Is that the very rapid irrowtn
of the body calls on tho thyroid
Kland for a lot of work. In order
to do the great amount of extra
work the ulund cnlaraes. To meet
the requirements of this theory the
Koltcr should fall back to something
like the average size when the child
yets a ltttlo older, and the rate of
growth has slowed up.
This happens almost as a ruif.
but with many exceptions. Also If
this theory in truo the irlrl" and
boys with enlarged thyroids should
not have projecting eyeballs, great
ntrvouaneM, tremors and other bI n
of too much thyroid. As a rule tills
requirement Is met.
All In all thyroid enlargement
among the school hoys and girls Is
not a serious condition. It Is the
rule for enlargements of the thyroid,
however, to exist for several years
before prominence of. the eyeballs,
nervoufiness and other symptoms
make their nppcarnnce.
Dr. I'lummer of Rochester has
worked out the avernge Interval be
tween the appearance of the tumor
nnd the development of other symp
toms In the many thousand cases
that have gone on to development
of symptoms and have finally come
for treatment at the Mayo clinic.
Therefore, It Is not wiso to hold
too lightly even the apparently
harmless though somewhat deform
in? goiters seen in school boys and
school girls.
To prevent the development or
goiters in school children, Mulligan
says the hygiene and sanitation must
be of the best Perhaps it may be
caused from polluted water. There
fore, give the school children water
free from pollution. The same holds
truo of milk. Perhaps there is here
an argument against bad ventilation,
foul dust, hot air In the school room.
There Is some proof that vermin
In the hair may cause it Therefore,
the hair should be kept free from
lice. There is some proof that some
cases are due to intestinal parasites.
Therefore if there are any indica
tions of worms the children should
have worm medicine.
It Is quite certain that many cases
follow in the wake of persistent sore
throats, dlsepged tonsils and enlarged
aoonolds. All such conditions should
be attended to. There is proof that
many thyroid enlargements follow
Infections of various kinds. These
should be guarded aertinst. The di
gestive organs must function prop
erly. One theory is That the gland
needs more lod'ne than it gets from
ordinary food during this period of
rapid growth. Therefore some au
thorities give school children a little
Iodine for two weeks during the
year and others permit a little Iodine
to vaporize in tho air of the school
room.

simple questions you can nnawer:
Why In It coal of all kinds remains
at ths present high prices?
Is there no way that this matter
of coal can be settled without verg
ing on tho lino of socialism or
anarchy? , , ,
I am neither, but we are drifting

Answer: Tho price of coal has
not rone down enaterlally because
wages at the mines and freight rates
still are at the peak. When these
recede coal can be delivered at a
lower cost In Omaha, but not until
then. The miners' union at Its re
cent national convention decided to
postpone negotiations for a new
wage scale until February. The rail
roads are talking of a reduction in

Editor of The Be: In looking over; cannot fail to draw the dominions of
the lists of questions that are pro-! uruisn umpire ana the i.nited
pounded to people of foreign birth I
found questions that. In my opinion,
could not be answered by 75 per
cent of the voters of the United
States today. I do not bolleve 60
per cent of the questions could be
Answered correctly by the native
born voters of America.
Then why should we require peo
ple of foreign birth to know more
about our own institutions than we
know about them ourselves-' If we
require people from other lands to
know so much about our own Insti
tutions, It is hih time that we would
know more of our own institutions
ourselves. No boy or girl should
come out of the eighth grade with
out knowing all about our national
constitution. That should be one of
tho requirements before they are
allowed to pass from the eighth
grade In our schools. In passing, I
will say that I do not think it Is
good policy to give what are called
diplomas to pupils comin" out of the
eighth grade, for many of them
think tliey have really graduated,
and do not try to get further knowl
edge at school. No diplomas should
be given until they have finished
the high school course or a three or
four-year course in night s-chools.
A great Ensli'h statesman said
that our national constitution is the
greatest document ever gotten up by
the hand of man. Yet millions of
voters in the United States do not
know much more about the consti
tution of our country than the most
ignorant natives of central Africa.
This may be a severe arraignment
of the people of our country, but it
Is needed. If our people in general
would take a little less time at pic
ture shows and in automobile rid
ing and take a little more time to
know of the institutions 3f our own
country, we as a nation would be
much better off. The constitution
of our nation should be as industri
ously studied in our schools as war
was studied in every school In Ger
many before the world war Tb
National Security league is engaged
in a movement to cruse a study (,'
our national constitution to bo one
of the reouirements of every school
in the land.
In the list of questions submitted
to people of foreign birth for an
swer I noticed at least one error n
the reply. I should think those In
charge of the naturalization burou
would see that no enors are allowed
