Scrambled Economics.
A writer lit a popular magazine, dealing with
the buiinem lituation from the viewpoint of an
exporter, telli of the reientment in South Amer
ican countries because of the. rising price of
American exchange. Not willing to admit that
their country's currency is debased, they insist"
our hat been unduly enhanced. However, they
are ready to take full advantage of the fact that
their, it at a premium over the monies of Europe.
Thit naturally affects our export trade.
In the New York World is published a letter,
in which the writer deplores the failure of the
United Statct to enter the League of Nations,
and the prospect of the passage of a protective
tariff law. To these he ascribes all the evils of
anemployment, business depression, low( price of
arm products, and everything else that is out of
idjustment.
One of the local department stores advertised
for sale at 49 cents an article that only a few
months ago was selling at $5; the patent has ex
pired, and it is reported from the east that a ship
load of this article, manufactured in Germany,
was recently disposed of to American dealers at
a unit cost of 16 cents each. How far the de
based German money has enabled to bring about
this low price is not exactly known, but on the
basis of exchange at present, the selling price is
33 marks, which on the gold standard is equiva
lent to $7.60, or well above the old price in
America.
Germany can not much longer maintain the
fiction of the mark, for there is an end to the
road, and that means disaster. What is of con
cern in this country is the apparent willingness
of some in the interest of export trade to debase
our currency, or at least to open the gates of the
home market and invite competition that rest3
on the worthless money of Europe. A few of
the gold miners have argued that one way out
is to raise the price of gold from 16 to 1 to at
least 42 to 1, which in its effect amounts to re
ducing the gold in a dollar from 25.8 grains to
10.32 grains. Such a process if pursued long
enough would in time bring about a sufficient
value in gold to sustain the 87,000,000,000 marks
of paper currency emitted by the German gov
ernment, but it would also have the effect of
carrying down the value of American money.
What can be gained by this, unless it be to
tremendously enhance the value of gold now held
and to "be produced, as expressed in dollars, is
not plain. If the standard is to be maintained,
it should be constant, and so regarded. Token
money, fiat money, Or any form of money, should
be measured by that standard.
At present the United States is the- only
country whose money rests absolutely on that
standard. In time all other countries will havev
to return to it; and it is absurd to contend that
we can help them by letting go from our present
secure position and dropping into the abyss as
they have done. We have reached a time when
sentimentatism, however sincere, shoulfl not be
permitted to longer sustain scrambled economics.
Japans Domestic Problems.
Assassination of Takashi Hara, premier of
Japan, will draw attention even closer to the pe
culiar domestic situation of the mikado's empire.
However the statesmen have striven to keep an
outward appearance of tranquility and unity, the
truth is that no country is more deeply stirred by
internal aaritation and dissension. As far back as
fifteen years ago the socialist party began to
present itself as a real problem in Japan, growing
steadily as the years have gone by. In its ap
plication it developed a strange mixture of the
intense patriotism of Japan, which is ultra-national,
and the broad internationalism that is the
exterior mark of the true cult of Marxism. Wo
man's societies, labor organizations, groups de
manding universal suffrage, expansionist and
" contractionist, a multitude of varying political
parties and equally vexatious social and industrial
problems, have kept the leaders in Japan well
occupied. Rice riots, and race riots, protests
against edicts, the breaking up of political meet
ings, domestic disturbances of many kinds, have
indicated the restlessness of the people. What
significance may be attached to the murder of
the premier can not at the moment be noted.
It is certain that his death is a serious loss to
his country at the present time, for his advice
would be worth much to Japan before the end
of the Washington gathering.
St James's Orphanage.
One of the inevitable accompaniments of life
is orphans. Children are bereft of parents, left
for the world to look after. Other babies come
into" the world unwelcome, a source of reproach
to the mother and in alma: every case deliber
ately abandoned, by the father. These must all
be cared for; no blame attaches to the child, and
its very helplessness constitutes its greatest
claim to attention. Omaha has several splendid
institutions under whose sheltering roof these
waifs of human wreckage are nurtured and ten
derly nourished, that they may grow up into
seful men and women and in some measure
repay a world into which they were unwittingly
lrqngh iJd on which they were left to perish or
survive at chance might determine, were ft not
(or the home. One of these it the St.
J.mct'i Orphanage, where the work hat becii
carried on thcte many yean, and from which hat
gone out such flow of charity and blessed a4
t hat ttved the lives of hundreds of children,
watching over them during the tender yem oi
babyhood tnd up until they are placed in real
hornet or are able to face the world alone. Stur-
day it to be "tag day for this fine institution,
Until a better method it deviitd of raising
money, the practice of telling tagt on the street
will probably persist. Here it not a time to
ditrutt the ethict of the situation; the Orphanage
needt the money, and: "Inasmuch at ye have
done it unto the least of thcte, ye have done it
unto Me." Buy a tag and hrlp thoie who ire
helping the babies.
Sales Tax Set Aside.
Definite action in the senate on the Smoot
tales tax amendment may clear the way of an
other obitacle to the enactment of the revenue
law. The action wat not taken until about all
that could be taid on either tide had been said.
Able ttudeati of the general tubject of taxation
are engaged In the debate, and, while evidences
of partisan bias crop out from time to time, the
general progrett Is in direction of framing
measure that will produce the immense turn of
money needed to pay the expense! of government,
and to do it in tuch i way as least to interfere
with business. President Harding's assurance
that the budget commission it making yet fur
ther great reductioni in estimates is reassuring,
and should be helpful to the lawmakers who are
working on the main problem.
Senator Smoot has signified an intention of
renewing his sales tax proposition in connection
with the soldiers' bonus measure, and Represcn
tative Fordney hat been quoted as saying he
plans on bringing in another revenue measure
early in the year, in which the principle of the
Smoot bill will be embodied. At present the
chief argument against the Smoot plan is that
it will not produce sufficient revenue. One of
the general arguments against the sales tax is
that it multiplies with each transaction; that the
tax is passed along in increasing ratio, and that
penny laid at the source becomes at least a
nickel by the time it gets to the consumer. It
would be outrageous to require the public to
pay $15,700,000,000 in order that the government
might collect $3,140,000,000 the Smoot manufac
turers' sates tax is expected to produce.
Eventually a revenue bill will be framed in
simple terms, recognizing the fact that all taxes
come out of production, and that no matter how
or where laid, the public finally pays them. No
amount of camouflage can hide this fundamental
principle of taxation. We have danced, and we
must pay the piper, and that is the end of that.

Watson's Charges Must Be Sifted.
General Pershing has denounced the Watson
charges as "the most outrageous and untrue ac
cusations that could possibly be made and abso
lutely without foundation." Unfortunately, not
all Americans will hold a similar opinion. Enough
will still cling to the slander, simply for the rea
son that it is aimed at the army commanded by
ueneral Pershing.
The senate has again resolved that it will
probe the Watson charges; it owes that duty to
the country, and the inquiry should be thor
ough. Watson should be required, if humanly
possible, to disclose all his information, that he
may either be branded as a malicious slanderer,
or be approved as a public benefactor. If he is
telling the truth, punishment of the guilty will
surely follow; if he is not, senator or no senator,
he should suffer the penalty proper to a slan
derer. Such proofs, as he so far has offered are of the
flimsiest kind. Photographs of gallows and of
executions exist, for men were hanged in France,
but only after trial and with the approval of
Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States,
for sentence of death by a court-martial can not
be carried out until it has been submitted to re
view and is approved by the commander-in-chief.
The first execution took place in the
summer of 1917, not long after the first Ameri
can troops reached France, and was for a crime
for which Mr, Watson has approved lynching
without trial.
Other atrocious deeds were" similarly pun
ished, but evidence consisting of photographs
made of such executions will not sustain the
sweeping allegations of the remarkable senator
from Georgia. The senate's inquiry should be
such as will leave io doubt either way as to the
truth regarding the charges, and whoever de
serves punishment should get it in full.
' Put the Convicts to Work.
Both from the standpoint of humanity and
economy it is to be hoped that prisoners in the
state penitentiary are not left in idleness this
winter. It is no kindness to these men to re
move them from all useful labor while the tax
payers support them. All except the very low
est of the low would rather be employed than
confined in a cell.
One New York prison produces all the gar
ments worn in the state institutions. Modern
penal practice has seen to it that lawbreakers
are taught to make themselves useful. Interest
in some trade or other occupation has a re
formative effect that mere confinement lacks.
This can be arranged, moreover, without con
flicting with labor or industry in the free world
outside.
In Sing Sing is an interesting example of
providing varied occupations and fitting each
man's work to his need and abilities. Voca
tional classes, many of them taught by prison
ers, are used to train inmates for honest self
support Sign painting, automobile repairs, hair
cutting and shaving, stenography,, and a number
of mechanical occupations are taught thus. Many
prisons utilize convicts for work of this sort, but
only to get the task done, and not with any idea1
of vocational training.
If the state prisoners are cooped up in idle
ness this winter, the public may expect to hear
of insubordination, crime and even rioting behind
the walls. ' Idleness, whether behind the bars or
outside, sows discord and temptation.

X.
A cln-ular Juat received from the
main offices of the War Finance
corporation at Washington, D. C,
outlines In some details the proce
dure which must be followed by
a co-operative association which
wishes to pain credit from the cor
poration without having the transac
tion pass through a bnnk.
Tho circular defines a co-operative
nssoclntlon as "a co-operative mar
keting association of producers of
agricultural products, operating un
der marketing agreements which
confer upon the association unlim
ited power to sell or pledge the agri
cultural commodity In question." It
is further required that "all dis
tribution of net proceeds must be
made to its members In proportion
to the amount of products received
from them or marketed on their ac
count." In case the association is a
capital-stock corporation, the stock
must be owned principally by farm
ers and the dividends limited to a
reasonable return, excess being dis
tributed to nwriibers in proportion to
the amount of products marketed
for their account.
A co-operative association, so de
fined, may apply for loans direct to
tho War Finance corporations. Such
loans may bo made to cover loans
made by tho association to its farm
er members, the proceeds of which
have been or will be used for agri
cultural purposes, including the har
vesting or marketing of agricultural
products or the breeding, raisjng or
marketing of live stock. Loans may
also be made to cover, advances
made by the association to cover
partial payment on products in pro
cess of being marketed through the
association. 1
Under these provisions a farmer
may borrow from the War Finance
corporation to finance the feeding of
live stock through the agency of
his 'co-operative association just as
he may through his local bank. This
ruling is contrary to an announce
mont rnadu earlier by the local com
mittee and on which The Bee had
previously based a statement that
co-operative associations could bor
row only in connection with the
marketing of products of members.

The British Delegation
(From the Washington Post.)
Tho announcement by Mr. Lloyd
George of the personnel of the Brit
ish and Dominion delegations to the
conference on limitations of arma
ments is gratifying assurance of his
own attendance and of the high
character of the British representa
tion. Mr. Balfour, Lord Lee of Fare-
ham and Ambassador Geddes are in
tho first rank of British statesmen,,
while the delegates from the domin
ions' are experienced and capable
men who have made good in the
great field of International inter
course. Lord Lee of Farebam is the first
lord of the admiralty and may be
considered a foremost authority on
naval affairs. He is in thorough
sympathy with the primary object
of the conference. At his right hand
will be Lord Baetty, first sea lord,
a fighter and navigator in whom
the American people have both prlda
and confidence. Mr. Balfour will bo
ably assisted by a staff of experts
intimately acquainted with far east
ern questions. The maintenance of
happy relations between the Amer
ican and British delegations, what
ever tho nature of questions that
may arise, will be largely in the
hands of Sir Auckland Geddes, who
enjoys the personal friendship of the
American delegates.
The popularity cf Mr. Lloyd
George In the United States is tho
result of his successful exercise or
qualities which Americans keenly
admire. He has met stupendous
problems and mastered them by in
genuity,' audacity and unfailing con
fidence. His bubbling optimism is
a trait which appeals to the yount;
men of the United States. His read
iness to attack any problem, however
complicated, inspirea confidence and
evokes applause. Throughout tho
darkest days of the war be was ab
solutely undaunted. His optimism
was not mere indifference to danger.
by any means, but was based upon
courage, tenacity ana resourceful
ness.
Americana hope that Mr. Lloyd
George will find in the conference
the widest field for the exercise of
his wonderful genius for adjusting
differences among men and nation?.
Better relations between France and
Britain, tending to settle the Upper
Sileaian question, ought to result
from the conference in this capital,
Thus, by crossing the Atlantic, Mr.
Lloyd. George may facilitate the ad
justment of home questions aa well
aa lending his powerful influence to
the settlement of International differences.
Life's Own Terms
(From tha Philadelphia ledger.)
Our lives were not of our election,
as those who grumble at fortune
are fond of reminding us. We had
no say as to where or when we
should come into the world, and
some of us would have made choices
vastly different. We always have
with us those who cast the fond
backward look to the supposed supe
rior felicity of a bygono day and la
ment that they did not live- in it.
They tell us that modern times are
decadent and modern youth degen
erate till we grow tired of hearing
them and wish that instead of vain
lamentation they would busy them
selves toward the improvement they
desire. ,
We came on earth, to grapple with
life not as we wish it were, not
aa we think it ought to be, but as
it is. Life imposes the conditions,
not we who live it. Nature wasin
business and natural law was in
working order long before we ap
peared on the scene. We must suc
cumb or perish. Most of the time
our bitterness against the ordain
ment is tho result of our owri will
ful, impetuous disobedience. The
warning stared us in the face, and
we overran it. We knew the rule
we broke. We imagined nature,
while she might punish the rest,
would show us a particular indul
gence. We were deceived; but our
ruefulness came too late.
The men who complain most are
those least inclined to obey. Disci
pline to them always has been dis
tasteful. As children, they over
ruled parental authority; as adults,
they overrode prescriptions whose
reason was long ago made clear.
They have studied history not at all
or to no purpose. They have learned
nothing from the observable experi
ence of mankind. They have not
recognized that nature is as willing
to chastise a king as to rebuke a
commoner who does not obey her
edicts.
Through life, whether we like it
or not, we are under a reign of law
in one form or another. We might
as well submit, with such grace aa
we are able to show; for the law is
puissant beyond any force we can
muster to resist it. When a man
thinks he can beat life at its own
great and immemorial game he be
comes as useless to society aa he
who studies to circumvent the law.
Often as it has been told, the tale
still bears the telling of Margaret
Fuller's complacent acquiescence In
