Selfishness and the St. Lawrence Canal.
At Savannah last week Governor Miller of
New York addressed the Atlantic Deeper Water
'wayi convention on the subject of the lakes-to-ccean
canal. At chief executive of the state
through which runs the Erie barge canal, he
could not be expected to exhibit the enthusiasm
that marks western expression on the project,
yet he might have had a little more consideration.
' for the farmers and other shippers this side of the
Alleghanics, all of whom expect to be benefited
by the establishment of better communication;
between the region and tidewater.
After increasing by at least 25 per cent the
estimates of cost turned in; by the engi
neers and accusing the proponents of the St
Lawrence canal of deception in their propaganda,
Governor Miller denies any selfishness in his
stand, and said: ' " '
It is indeed a generous proposition of the
middle western states that the consumers of -power
in New York and New England shall
pay for the construction of a ship canal to ,
serve the middle west and divert shipping
from their own ports. The audacity of that .,
proposal is nearly equaled by' the imagination "
of those who are seeking to' convince the coun- '
try that ocean-going vessels will ever navigate
. an inland waterway more than 2,000 miles long,
with hundreds, of miles of restricted channels
and locks. - : v' ''VV-4 V -Vr.. - '
Naturally,' but they did: not feci -that way
about it when they asked the middle west to as
sist in paying for the Panama canal. It is well
to remember, also, that only day before yester
day eminent statesmen from New England and
the Atlantic coast were opposing; the. xoijstruc
1 tion of transcontinental railroads. This project
was visionary, according to the wise men of the
east, impractical, and even impious, for one of
them, who has left' an" indelible impression on
the current of the nation's life, declared Al
mighty God "erected the Rocky mountains as a
barrier between the two sections of the country,
and it would Te flying in the face of Providence
to undertake ..to span them with a railroad.
Daniel Webster was not selfish, but the building
of the Union- Pacific did not aid the shipyards at
Salem or elsewhere in Massachusetts, although
it did open up a wonderful empire -irom which
New England has for half -a century at least
drawn a golderrtream of wealth. -.
The NewYork Times, cqmmenting approv-
ingty on Governor Miller's speech, calls the St.
Lawrence canal scheme "a wild project," but we
submit that it is no wilder than many another
dream that has come true. Competent engineers
have pronounced it feasible, and statesmen as
able and as far-seeing as Governor Miller have
approved it, and are just as warm in espousal of
its establishment as he is in opposition. The
canal will be built, and the central agricultural
empire will have benefits from it that are now
exclusive to the Atlantic coast. -
co-operation are now seen to be large. "
If this is true of Omaha, it is also the case in
hundreds of other cities throughout the land. At
the adjustment of these political offices to a bust
ncis basis proceeds, immense savings may be
expected. The establishment of a budget system
It one of the big accomplishments of the Hsr
ding administration. '
A Welcome Guest
Omaha today pays its tribute to one of the
leaders of the world war, Gen. Armando Diaz,
Four centuries ago hit ancestor, captain of a
hip under Christopher Columbus, skirted the
coast of America, peopled then only by hostile
savages. Today the descendant penetrates more
thtn a thousand miles into the interior of the
continent, finding only friends. Many of those
who welcome him are from hit own land, now
among the most thrifty and industrious citizens
of America. . . ' ......
His message, however, is to all alike, and
though a warrior, he speaks of peace, not con
flict. "We must first disarm our hearts, then the
weapons will fall' from our hands themselves,"
he has said. "When our heartt are quiet, with
the cnnsciousncfit of peace in our own souls, then
there will be an end of war."
America, which is constituted of the peoples
of many lands and races, measured in this way is
fitted to take the leadership in brjnging peace and
understanding to the nations of the world. The
triumphal tour of Generat Diaz is not without its
influence for mutual friendship.
Financing Bankrupt Europe.
According to the London Times, America
must provide capital for the restoration of
Europe. Especially does the Times dread the
prospect of Germany defaulting in its approach
ing payment of 500,000,000 gold marks, an event
which will embarrass France materially. This
may be averted if only the United States will inter
pose and assume some of the burden. ..The line
of reasoning is direct, but not attractive.
Why should we assume any further" obligation
on behalf of Europe? Just now the people over
there are indebted, publicly and privately, to the
United States in the sum of nearly $15,000,000,-
000, a fair indication of the extent to which they
havefalready been financed from this side. , There
is no selfishness in asking them to do. some
thing to help themselves before we go much far
ther in our financial altruism. When govern
mental budgets are reduced, when printing
presses are stopped and the torrents of irre
deemable currency are checked, when the people
recover to the realization that no miracle is
going to be wrought, and that the way back to
normalcy is a long and hard one, then help from
this side will not be so urgently needed, and it
will be forthcoming. ;
.To set up an international banking system,
with, the United States' credit as its corner
stone and chief support, may have the effect of
stabilizing exchange, but only so far as we as
sume the responsibility for government action
over which we have no control. So long as the
several governments of Europe go ahead, stead
ily expanding deficits to stretch budgets to meet
mpossible conditions, exchange can not be sta
bilized or regulated by the natural laws of com-;
merce, and, it is dangerous and unwise as well
for us to thrust in . to save them by artificial
means in , which the, elements of destruction are
the same as those that now torment European
financiers. "Heaven helps him who help him
self," and our brethren overseas must learn this,
At the Parley' 8 Heart
Anglo-Japanese Alliance list
Its Effect at Washington.
1 (From the Philadelphia Ledger.)
In Washington the Anglo-Jspanese alliance
is fading, dissolving, making ready to be laid
away in the lavender of memory. It has given
the Japanese much prestige and Great Britain a
certain security. For nineteen yean it hat en
dured, but in most .ways it bat outlived its use
fulness. The reds of Moscow may be menace, but
they are not the same sort of menace as that
Russian bear of the czar, that looked over the
Himalayan passes and left his tracks on the
beaches of the Pacific. (Vrmany is out of the
play; Berlin has faded from the picture. The
two nations, against whom England and Japan
drew together, are down and temporarily done
for. At present this celebrated alliance is re
garded by some British and most Australians
and New Zealanders as a sort of pledge that
Japan will not take Melbourne overnight. Can
ada is against it; South Africa indfferent; Great
Britain is in many minds about it.
. It keeps obtruding itself in Washington. The
Americans do not like it. These United States
reeard it as a menace. All the fair words that
have been spoken and all the beautiful assur-

The alliance is there, and it can not be explained
away.
The American proposals for proportional dis
armament are based upon the death and decent
burial of this" alliance. Try adding the strength
of the proposed British and Japanese navies and
then compare the total with the proposed Ameri

If Japan and Great Britain are to break the
lliance. thev will demand something in payment.
London and ToWo can not get it out of their
minds that the easiest way will be to take Amer
ica in as a partner and form a triple alliance, or
a tripartite agreement, or a three-party under
standing. Such an arrangement would not have

trv. Mere mention of it makes the senate ir-
reconcibles snatch their battle axes from the wall.
If the men from Tokio and London are doubtful
about this, let them listen at the keyholes of the
senate's conference rooms.
No recipe for so sugar-coating an alliance
that this country will swallow it has ever been
concocted. If the conference can make one, it
will achieve a first-class miracle. When will the
chess players of diplomacy' learn that this coun
try will walk in Gethsemane and face the cru
cifixion rather than become a party to alliances,
agreements or understandings, defensive or of
fensive. ,
One of the bis: jobs of the conference is to
find a way to put this alliance to death pain
lessly and unobtrusively. It is woven and
tangled with the Japanese demands "for a rea
sonable economic outlet" in the Orient, with that
vague and sprawling problem of China and the
Far Easts open door. ' It must be dissected,
etherized and put away.
The Far East, momentarily lost to sight in the
drama of the conference opening, remains the
heart of the problem. The Anglo-Japanese al
liance lies in the center of that heart and at any
moment may become the over-towering issue of
the parley.
America's "U nknown"
Railroads and Bankruptcy!
Speaking to the Chamber of Commerce at
Boston,. Mr. Edgar F. Clark, a former chairman
of the Interstate Commerce commission, gave
warning that the hampering of'the railroads
- meant bankhuptcy for the companies. Failure
to earn sufficient revenue to maintain- the service
means government ownership. The plain infer
ence to be drawn from Mr. Clark's remarks is
a defense of the Interstate Commerce commis
sion and the existing high freight tariffs created
and continued by its order. At the' time the rates
were fixed conditions may have justified them,
but such conditions no longer exist The roads
were paying too high for everything they had
to buy, and this applies to the money they bor
rowed as well as to the help they hired. . Wages
for both money and workers are coming down.
Bankruptcy is not an unknown visitor in the
region where the railroads find the bulk of their
business. Farmers have felt it, and those who
have not succumbed face it daily, simply be
cause they can not sell their products at a "price
that means solvency for them. ". This is ascrib
able largely to the excessive charges made by
the carriers. Until relief is had in the form of
lower freight rates, the greatest pi all our indus-
-tries, agriculture, will languish. The gentlemen
who compose the I. C Cas well as those who
manage the railroads should gire this situation
a little more thought It is not wise to feed the
carriers at the expense of all other industries.
Uncle Sam's Business Manager. ';'
The possibilities of economy that lie in the
newly created office of director of the federal
budget do not all lie in Washington. That much
is made clear by the arrival in Omaha of a co
ordinator from the office of Charles G. Dawes.
Wasteful scattering of government offices in va
rious parts of the chy which, might much better
be brought under one roof is one of the matter
which now are to receive the attention that should
hare been given years ago. The possibilities of
pooling resources, of making the warehouses at
Fort Omaha senre something more than military
ac and of increasrlg the general efficiency by
Base' Deception of a Trusting . Man.
Few tears will be shed for the misadventure
of a former police officer in New York who
bought 22 promising looking whisky barrels
which turned, out to have been filled with water.
The $15,000 : he paid for' thiV supply of sup
posedly bogus liquor must have made a large
dent in his savings, laid up during years of en
forcing the law, but still the tragedy brings only
smites to those who read of it.
Indeed it is a callous' public, to remain un
moved at this imposition on the trusting nature
of a retired arm of the law. It it to be taken
for granted that he did not contemplate mak
ing any illegal use of this liquid treasure. The
men who sold it to him must have known of
the high moral standard he had upheld as a
member of the force. No doubt he came to
them with a prescription, or at least with the
open declaration that his health required this
moderate amount of stimulation. It may even
have been that his wife wanted it as , fuel for
her. chafing dish, or that it was for external
application only. There are any number of rea
sons why an honest citizen should require 22
barrels of whisky.
Yet the tutpicious world immediately con
cludes that the victim of this confidence game
intended to engage in a little light employment
as a bootlegger. No doubt when he brought suit
against, the salesmen he realized the cloud of
misapprehension that would arise. For all that,
this case holds high interest. A great deal of
needless suffering might be caused if the practice
of selling water or tea as alcohol spreads.
America now has only a little more than 8
per cent of China's trade, but this figure is of
small import compared to the new form of in
ternational competition which we are entering.
This consists of the exportation of capital to for
eign land for the development and exploitation
of natural resources. .- Owning a railroad, a mine
or a factory in China is quite a different thing
from merely shipping m American goods for
sale. Danger of wars arises not so much from
foreign trade as from foreign investments.

The unknown soldier has come home, and in
his coming has- made universal the sense of ex
altation, gratitude and pride which kinsmen and
fellow-townsmen have in ; honoring their un
known dead. The whole nation, mourning in
solemn and united recognition of a sacrifice which
it has shared with other nations, through those
whom this unknown soldier represents, has
reached a new, and, tor the moment, cloudless
height, whence to catch a glimpse of America's
duty to her dead, whose worth, having displayed
itself in deeds, can be sufficiently rewarded only
"by honors also shown by deeds."
, ... An old Danube song has the refrain; "Then
the 1 soldier spoke' from his deep, dark grave:
4I am content.' If this can be the voice from
the-grave of-the nameless soldier in Arlington
as 'the morrow of the conference dawns and
the new chapter in- the world's history begins
to be written, then the supreme glory will in
deed have come near his dust." New York
Times (independent democrat).
: No such honors were ever paid to any other
American as those accorded to the mute and
nameless clay of this obscure citizen who "gave
the last full, measure of devotion." Again, "it
is- altogether fitting and proper" that it should
be so. ' '"'
But what did he die for? Can the American
people today honestly and sincerely answer that
question? Can they say that they have dedicated
themselves to his unfinished work? Can they
say that they have shown increased devotion
to the cause for which he made the supreme
sacrifice?
Scarcely four months had elapsed from the
battle of Gettysburg to the ceremony at which
Abraham Lincoln uttered the solemn pledge
that "these dead shall not have died in vain."
Three years have elapsed since the last shot
was fired on the Argonne front and the signing
of the armistice brought the bloodshed of the
world war to an end. Lincoln's pledge was re
deemed by the American people. The nation, un
der God, did have a new birth of freedom.
Government of the people, by the people, for
the people did not perish from the earth. The
greatest experiment in self-government that the
world had ever known met the ultimate test of all
government.
Can it be said today that any of the pledges
made by the American people themselves, or
in their name, when this unknown soldier went
to war, have been redeemed? Can they say
that they are still highly resolved that their
dead shall not have died in vain? This day, if
its meaning is not to be lost, is a day for the
searching and the sifting of the American heart.

iron) the time of adontlnr our na..
uonai constitution they have de
nianded and received special favors.
At that time they considered colored
people as chattels, like cattle and
mules, not as human belnsrs. and re
fused to agree to the national con
stitutlon unless It provided that five
negroes should count the same as
mree white people for reDresenta
uon in congress and for electors for
president. The basis of representa
tlve in congress at that time was
30,000 white people for each con
gressman, and for presidential elec
tor. This method of countine col
ored people gave the south a con
gressman for every 60,000 colored
people, and gave them a presidential
elector for the same number.' the
colored people not being allowed to
vote, out were considered as chat
tels. The people of the north did
not ask that a congressman and an
elector Bhould be allowed for 60,000
of their chattels, cattle, mules, etc.
This was humoring the southern
people giving them an advantage
in oraer to lorm a government and
aaopt a constitution.
A few years later It became neces
sary to agree upon the location of
tne national capital, New York City
being the first capital, for ten years.
Many of the states had contracted
enormous debts in carryine on the
revolutionary war, and Alexander
Hamilton, as secretary of the treas
ury, planned that the war debts
should be paid out of the national
treasury; but the southern people
objected and said that each state
Bhould pay its own war debt. This
was because very little fighting had
been done in the south, but mostly
m .rennsyivania, new England and
iMew xork. it was only fair that
expenses of the war that secured the
national independence and made the
national government possible should
be paid by the nation aa a whole.
The south held out against Hamil
ton s financial plan, but - made a
proposition to allow the national
government to pay the war debts of
the several states if the north would
allow the national capital to be lo
cated in the south. The north had
to agree to this in order to get
proper settlement of the war debts
and the national capital was located
south of Mason and Dixon's line, on
tne .potomac river. This was an
other case where the north yielded
to humor the south.
The south controlled the national
affairs through several administra
tions with democratlo presidents and
came to consider it as a sort of God
given right; but when Lincoln was
elected in I860 they saw an end of
their domination and decided to
withdraw from the union, just like
a lot of spoiled children, who won't
play, unless they are allowed to
have their own way; They lost out in
their attempt to secede, and lost all
property rights in their slaves. That
was once when they were not
allowed to have their own way.
They did not think the north would
fight, but believed they would yield,
as they had always done before.
They wanted to be let alone with
their new government, the confed
eracy. i
After the slaves became free some
change must be made In the consti
tutlon relative to counting five col
ored people the same as three white
people, and it was agreed (with ap
proval of many southern senators
and congressmen) that full repre
sentation snouid be allowed for all
the colored people and they be
allowed to vote. This gave the
south nearly twice as many con
gressmen and nearly twice as many
electoral votes for president as they
nad oerore on account of colored
people, and then the legislatures of
the various southern states passed
laws that disfranchised the colored
people, and now the southern states
have more than 60 congressmen and
more than 60 electoral votes for
president because the colored people
are there, and yet they, do not allow
the colored people to vote. This is
unfair to the people of the north,
as well as unjust to the colored peo
ple who live in the south.'
The southern people object to any
reference to this election fraud, and
whenever anything is said about it
they set up a howl Just as they did
a few years ago when congress pro
posed to adjust it, and the south set
up a cry, "Force bill," "Force bill,"
to appeal to the sympathy of the
American public. Just like a lot of
babies.
Senator Harrison of Mississippi
objects to the president's suggestion
that the colored people be allowed
to vote, and the objection is due
to the fact that there are so many
colored people in Mississippi that
Harrison would not be senator if
the colored people were allowed to
vote. Many other senators and con
gressmen from the south are hold
ing their -office through the disfran
chisement of the colored people, and
they want the president to keep
still.
Woodrow Wilson received more
than 50 electoral votes that repre
sented colored people who were not
allowed to vote, and who would not
have voted for him if they had
voted, and he would not have been
elected if honest elections had been
held in the south. Neither Senator
Harrison, nor Woodrow Wilson, nor
anybody else, has a right to hold
office thus secured, and in doing so
they are no more honest than a man
who receives and uses stolen goods,
knowing them to be stolen.
It isn't any wonder southern offi
cials object to President Harding's
speech, and object to everybody else
who advocates honest elections, and
it Is a question how long the south
ern people expect Vf northern peo
ple to submit sr.-l ! '-p still.

MORE HEADACHE RELIEF
Of the people with headaches due
to digestive trouble, not all are due
to eating too much starch or too
much meat According to Brown
there are two other sub-groupa In
this lurtia division.
The first la composed of those
wnose headaches are due to put re
factions taking place In the large In
test Ine.
Ir. Brown says he has seen two
such canes, in both of which each
attack of headache lasted four or
five dnys. The patients were com
pelled to remain in bed, and when
they recovered he found thut they
had lost five to ten pounds. Each
of these patients failed to get benefit
irom tno use or purgntlves. They
were not cured until they had sub
mitted to operations tor the re
moval of appendices or for opening
Into and washing out the large In
testines.
Dr. Bastedo thought that intesti
nal putrefactions were a frequent
cause of headaches. The treatment
which n large proportion of suffer
ers speedily learn by experience to
follow is to take a cathartic and to
eat no food, or none except a little
tea and toast
Dr. Alvarez does not agree with
either Dr. Bastedo or Dr. Brown as
to the reason for the so-called con
stipation headaches. He says It Is
due to a reflex irritation from the
distended lower bowel and not to
the absorption of poisons.
But that is a scientific point In
which the sufferer has no special
interest. Both agree that the large
bowel should be emptied as quickly
as possible, some preferring saline
purges - and some enemas for this
purpose. Prompt action of this sort
may give almost instant relief.
Dr. Brown s fourth group of head
aches was composed of the cases
due to gout. This group should be
given no meat, liver, sweetbreads,
