Time for Calm Counsel.
"It it up to the president," says one labor
leader whose union may be involved in the gen
era! strike. "Only a miracle can atop the strike
now," aayt another. Railroad presidents and
manager profess an indifference they certainly
do not feel. Thus both sides show a disregard
for the seriousness of the situation they have
themselves created.
The men may avoid a strike, for they yet
have open to them recourse of appeal to the
Labor board for the adjustment of any grievance
or complaint that exists. It was created for that
purpose. If it has failed to achieve the end for
which it tvas instituted, it is because the parties
most at interest have ignored it.
For the presidents to express unconcern at a
time when their roads are threatened with the
disaster that a general strike will bring is to
flout common sense. If it be not assumed, their
attitude indicates such indifference to the public
welfare as is incomprehensible. If they really
want a strike, that the government may be com
pelted to resume operation of the roads, as has
been suggested, their action may be understood,
but otherwise not. The course of the Pennsyl
vania in its defiance of the Railroad Labor board,
thus ignoring the law passed by congress, is per
haps significant in this regard.
If the situation is "up to the president," the
people may be sure it will be fairly met by the
president, and in the interest of the public, with
the rules of justice and equity prevailing. A
miracle will not be performed, unless it be that
of bringing some willful men to realize the
fact that they are on the wrong course.
Calm counsel on all sides is imperative in the
crisis. Whatever ia done by the government will
be done in the name of the people, and we have
confidence that it will be for the good of the
people, and not for the especial relief of the rail
road managers or unions.
To the Unknown Dead.
One of the most majestic spectacles in his
tory is the figure of Paul on Mars Hill, declar
ing the Unknown God to the Athenians. Very
closely approaching this is the sight of the great
nations, bowed in reverential regard, at the grave
of the Unknown Soldier. He in his person typi
fies all that the victorious armies of the Allies
battled for, as. well as the spirit that animated
and sustained them -through the long and terri
ble years of the struggle. His valor and devoted-
r.ess, the high courage, that faced the danger and
endured the hardship, carrying on when the tide
of battle set against him, and doggedly persisting
until the right was established, exemplify the
highest attribntea of human nature. . The Un
known God whom Paul preached to the cultured
Greeks is the God of justice and right, aa well as
the God of mercy and love, and the Unknown
Soldier was His instrument in the working out
of part of His great plan. When General Persh
ing laid the Congressional Medal on the tomb
of the Unknown Soldier in Westminster abbey.
he did it with the spirit of the American people
supporting him.' When President Harding and
all the dignitaries of our national government
march in solemn procession at Arlington on
Armistice Day, he will be accompanied by rep
resentatives of those who fought alongside our
boys in the war, and again the greatest nations
in the world's history will pay tribute to the
Unknown Soldier, the men who saved the world
for Freedom.- And, to quote the immortal words
of Abraham Lincoln:
It is for us the living, rather, to be dedi
cated to the unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
. . . that we here highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died in vairo ,.
Art Instruction in Omaha Schools.
In connection with the discussion of the
progress of art in Omaha, it ia worthy of note
that a comprehensive course of instruction has
been added to the elementary grades in the
city schools. The design is not to train artists,
painters or sculptors, but to open the minds
of the children to an understanding of art as dis
tinguished from the ether elements of educa
tion, to give them an idea of its value as part
of cultural training, and to so develop their un
derstanding that they will be able to properly
appraise and understand the beautiful as well as
the purely utilitarian. Such a purpose is a wor
thy part of an educational program. Schools
have always sought to inculcate an understanding
of literature as well as of science, to not enly
acquaint the youth with the forms and usages of
the language, giving them a capacity for un
derstanding as well as for expression, but also
to enable them to create for themselves or to
more fully enjoy the creation of others, by rea
son of an intimate knowledge of all that ia con
tained in the product of the mind. Music, too,
has been given a modest place in the curriculum,
sot auch as, perhaps, it ia entitled to, but a
recognition that may extend. To thia now ia
added the effort to explain and instill a knowl
edge of the plastic arts, ao that the delight that
is natural on viewing a great masterpiece, or
even a crude attempt at expression, will be en
hanced by reason of comprehension of what is
involved more than is shown on the surface.
Such information is of real value, for it tends
to get the mind away from the Grandgrinda and,.
McChoeltumchilds, ad to widen the vi.u of.
Concerning Railroad Revenue.
Whether the railroads of the United States
have suffered in proportion with other Industrie
It debateable. It ia true, however, that the gen
eral condition of the transportation lines has
steadily improved. In July, 192!, the Class I
roads reported net earnings available for divi
dends of 4.5 per cent on the tentative valuation.
It was an increase of 571.4 per cent over the net
for July, 19J0. What, if any, other business can
show a similar state of affairs? For the seven
months ending with July 31, the operating in
come of these roads shows for 1921- an increase
of 9057 per cent over 1920.
The figure summarized fur the line entering
Omaha are taken from the bulletin for July of
the Bureau of Railway Economics at Washing'

Some of the other roads in the western group
make even a better showing than these, the
Santa Fe, for example, which reports: Total
operating revenue, $15,482,767; total operating
expenses, $8,698,400; total net railway operating
income, $6,010,029. These figures must imprest
farmers and business men, who are struggling
on the brink of bankruptcy, with the thought
that the railroads are not accepting more than
their proportional share of the general adversity.
Illiteracy in the United States.
Something of a shock is provided in the an
nouncement from the Census bureau that 6 per
cent of the people of the United States above 10
years of age are unable to read or write in any
language. That the bulk of these unfortunates it
found in the "black belt" of the south, where the
opportunity for education has not been afforded
is not to be taken as extenuation of the general
offense against humanity.
In a land where all children are supposed to
have a chance to learn at public expense, and
where so many compulsory education laws are
enforced with more or less of effectiveness, it is
a national reproach that any should grow up in
ignorance of the rudiments of education. That 6
out of each 100 above 10 years of age are in the
darkness of illiteracy is a fact we may well be
ashamed of. While Louisiana has the dubious
honor of heading the list, with 21.9 per cent of
illiteracy, enough of the blight extends to other
states to keep them busy attending to their own
shortcomings without taking cognizance of a
neighbor's faults.
If the Sterling-Towner bill is the remedy, it
ought to be sent through congress in a hurry.
What is really needed is an awakening of cer
tain elements of the social body to the menace
that resides in this great mass of benighted citi
zenry. Some progress was made between 1910
and 1920 in the way of reducing the number of
those unable to read or write, but it has been
too slow. Until the public gives this subject aa
much attention as it bestows on others of less
importance, the danger will remain undisturbed.
Twenty Cents From Rockefeller.
The little girl who received two dimes from
John D. Rockefeller displayed a wonderfully un
derstanding heart She knew the gift was made
because the richest matt in the world liked her
singing, and it probably never occurred to her,
as it did to many of her elders, that his apprecia
tion could have been expressed by a much
larger sum. There is to the average grown-up
something comic in the thought of this man of
billions giving away shiny nickels and dimes.
Yet he continues to do so, and is said to carry
a pocketful of small coins for just this purpose.
Instead of estimating how many lollipops she
could buy with 20 cents, this child promptly de
cided that she would have the dimes put on a
ribbon to hang about her neck. Possibly the
donor would have been more pleased to hear
that she would invest them at 6 per cent. But
she understood best of all. He wanted her to
think well of him.
The trifling gift was made to show apprecia-.
tion. By money is the only way in which some
people can express their sentiments. The aged
philanthropist, wishing well to the world, gives
money in wholesale and retail lots. Often it is
not fully appreciated; some say it should have
been more and some say he never should have
got hold of it But to accept it as this girl did,
as the only way in which a very rich man is
able to indicate his enjoyment and friendly im
pulses, is wisdom.
(from tha New York World.)
It ia reported by Mr. Getman, a specialist in
agricultural education for New York stale, that
52 per cent of the students In the state schools
of agriculture, of which there are fix, come from
cities, and that 50 per cent of the lettert tent to
the bureau of farm settlement of the state de
rartment ef farms and markets, in reference to
the purchase of farms, come from dwellers in the
cities. Thia i an intimation that there i ttill a
longing for the land even in the increasing city
population.
But thit tame authority reminds us that
mere longing for the land it not a qualification
for itt profitable cultivation. The farm it no
place for the inefficient and inexperienced. The
tuccestful farmer, it would appear from the dc
manda now made of him. must be the most ver
satile ef vocationi.ts, for he has to deal with
weather, machines, animals, markets and rail
roads, at well at with the crops themselves and
the pestt that molest them. It it not such a
simple occupation as that which primitive man
faced when driven to till the toil; It ia even
core complex than in the claya when Cato and
Varro wrote to learnedly, and Virgil to
poetically, of itt processes: and its practice is
relatively more important from the fact that
more people are dependent upon each' farmer:
for in the last hundred years the number of
persons engaged in agricultural pursuit hat de
creased from 87 to iO per cent.
Agricultural knowledge, which may teem ia
stinctive in the farm-born boy, it, after alt, due
- - . . t - l I ' ;
in large measure 10 ine icsxning oi nil environ
meut and his experience, but, in an increasing de
gree, to the guidance of science. This knowledge
it within the acquisition of the city boys and
girls, and the state hat opened the opportunity
to them to receive such instruction along with
those who are country-born and rural-minded,
Anv oerson who is 16 vears of ase or who has
completed the elementary school course is eligi
ble to enter any of the state agricultural schools,
five of which are located up-state, at Alfred. Co
bleskill, Canton, Delhi and Morrisville, and one
on Long Island, at Farmingdale. While there
are one-year intensive courses, and what are
called "short unit courses, and still other vara
tions, the prevailing type of course is three years
in length, consisting of eighteen months of in
struction at the school and eighteen months of
work on the school farm, or on other farms to
which the students are assigned as farm work
men at the prevailing rate of waget. The stu
dents thus earn as they learn, and many of them
earn enoueh to meet the exoensea of their
training. They are prepared for tuch farming
occupationi as dairy farming, fruit growing,
market gardening and poltry raising, according
to their special training. Those taking the in
tensive courses are fitted to become city milk
inspectors, dairy testers, butter and cheese mak
ers. and the like.
The country child who lives, for example,
within reach of such a consolidated school as
that at Chazy, N. Y., has every educational ad
vantage that the city child can have, but, besides
all this, there are tuitions of the skies and the
streams and the fields with the changing sea
sons. In these agricultural schools, maintained
by the state as a whole, the city youth may find
his way back into the presence and culture of
these elemental forces and into that vocation
which furnishes not only the means of human
subsistence, but the foundations of every sub
stantial society.
Demobilization of the French
Army
The cost of government in Lincoln has been
.found to amount to $44.32 per capita, and re
ceipts fell $3.56 short of this, according to the
census, Maybe the city officials ought to be
jerked up before the blue sky commission.
On the eve of the Washington conference,
France will have virtually completed the de
mobilization of her war-time army. An Asso
ciated Press dispatch from Paris today gives fig
ures showing the extent to which the demo
bilization has already been carried. The active
army today-contains only 60 per cent as many
men as were in active service on May 1, when
approximately 800,000 men were with the colors,
At the present time, including the army on the
Rhine and colonial troops, France has with the
colors a total of 500.000 men, A considerable
proportion of the 300,000 men relieved from duty
have been given an indefinite furlough, although
they are still subject, to the government s call
The term of service with the colors, moreover,
has been cut from three years to eighteen months,
and m all probability another cut will follow
within the next few months, provided no new
clouds appear on the international horizon to
threaten the peace of Europe.
France will thus come to Washington with a
splendid record of achievement to her credit. She
has reduced her land forces to the lowest point
compatible with the demands of the public de
fence: in fact, many believe she has gone so far
aa to put in jeopardy her national security. She
has cut to the bone the strength ot her iana
forces, moreover, even though upon her falls the
main burden of enforcing the Treaty of Ver
sailles, and of maintaining peace throughout the
storm centers of. central Europe. For this work
half a million men is none too many, and at any
moment an emergency may arise demanding the
services of every soldier now in active service.
In the light of these figures, charges of
French militarism stamp themselves as utterly
false. . They have absolutely no basis in fact, and
those who utter them speak either from ignor
ance or malice. What France is doing is what
everv nation in its right senses would do guar
anteeing to succeeding generations the enjoyment
of their national birthright as citizens ot a tree
and independent democracy. . To assure the na
tion's defense both by land and sea, is the funda
mental duty of every government. To dq less
would be a betrayal of the public trust. Boston

Progress Toward Brotherhood
Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent is ex
ceedingly aggressive in extending its circulation
throughout the middle west and it is keeping up
its violent attacks upon the Jews. So far as ap
pears it is having no effect at all upon the atti
tude of our Protestant churches toward the He
brew race. The action of our Winnetka (111.)
church'is quite characteristic of all our churches.
Rev. J. A. Richards, the pastor, suggested to a
prominent Jew of Wmnetka that it seemed a
pity that the Jewish people should hold their
most sacred annual services in the school house
when the Congregational church might be at
their disposal. As a result the matter was
brought to the attention of the church, which
passed the following resolution:
"Whereas, it has come to our knowledge that
the Jewish congregation of Wmnetka desires to
observe solemn religious festivals on the eve
nings of October 2 and 11 and on the afternoon
of October 12 of this year, and that they lack a
suitable place for these observances: and
"Whereas, we desire in all things to express
the hospital spirit of our faith;
"Be it resolved, that we, the council of the
Winnetka Congregational church, cordially in
vite the Jewish congregation of Winnetka to use
our church at the timet needed."
Dr. Richards calls attention to the fact that
the church took this action in loyalty to its faith
and offered ttot a building but a church to the
Jewish brethren. Such action as this registers
our progress toward brotherhood. Congrega-tionalist

On the Formers' Side, v
Central City. Neb., Oct. IS. To
the Editor of The Bee: I would
like to Rive a farmer's Idea how to
improve conditions or affair in good
old United States. Stringency com
menced hs soon aa farmers' produce
was lowered at the peak of good
times, when corn was $1.60 a bushel-
that made 60 cents per bushel for
his work and the same for his team.
Is that too much? That gave him
buying capacity. There Is about
43,000,000 farmers In the United
States. If they have money, they
will buy and keep the employes busy
to furnish these various article. We
figure 20 hours' work to produce an
acre of corn. I have traveled a good
deal in Merrick, Hall and some In
Adams counties and have heard
from other counties, and corn is
poor; make from 15 to SO bushels
per acre, say averaging 22 bushels;
counting three-fifths for work would
give 13 bushels for two and one-half
days' work: at 18 cents per bushel
would give 90 cents per day for man
and team and board themselves.
How can a man buy much, at that
money?
Dairying is counted about the beet
business now. I have been selling
sweet cream to the Alamitft com.
pany of Omaha and my milk of 4
test has been bringing me s cent
per quart I am selling milk now at
3 cents per quart. It gives me 16
cents per hour for my work . and
board myself. Your carpenters and
masons demand about SI ner hour.
No wonder rent is high; If they got
60 cents per hour that would be
three times what we get for our
work, and that would stimulate
building. I think the landlords are
about on the level with tho unions.
Tae more they demand the less we
have for our work, as the manufac
turers have to have their nroflt.
What profit has it really been to
cut the price on hogs and cattle?
The butchers charge nearly the same
ror meat as they did when cattle and
hogs were high. I have sold fine
heavy hogs' this summer for 5 cents
per pound. I was in a shop Monday;
they wanted 36 cents a pound for
nam. it should have sold for 20
cents. It is Just making middle men
rich, and that is all. . They seem to
be in a combine or union and won't
come down. Now if the unions and
laborers would try and meet the
farmer half way their cost of living
would ce cut in the middle. The
trouble of the unions is they want
to boost prices all of the time in
stead of trying to buy cheaper. The
higher wages they get the loss we
get. Middlemen must have their
profit. Why don't the laborers com
out in the little towns and be barbers
or blacksmiths. We need someone
with a heart, as they all charge war
prices now. For the stuff we have
to buy we have to give from 3 to
6 days work to get one day's worK
In return for our work. Now, Mr.
ditor, how can we get good limes
or have very much buying capacity
while this prevails?
Now we would be glad to take the
railroad work or any of your union
laborers' work at a 40 cent dron
and then we would double our wages
and have less risk. Let them come
and farm. The corn on an average
farm would scarcely pay the taxes.
Every time the legislature meets
they saddle some more burdens on
Sure, we are tired of the farms.
All we want Is an opportunity to go
to town, and some one cries raise
more stuff." We are raising too
much of everything now. Double
the price of our commodities If you
want good times.
