Attempt ate being made to anticipate tlie iiC3sa;je president Harding will deliver to con iWS to.ronow. One forecast is that it will leVl.' chiefly with the tariff, and that the presi dent win urge immediate action on the Fordncy tiea.vjre now pending. This may rest on the nowledfcc that Mr. Harding is committed to the hedry' of protection, and that in all his cam paign speeches he pledged himself to assist m I cvining the Underwood law. The need of such evision is admitted, but difference of opinion ver details is wide and almost as difficult to eroncile as were the views on the revenue meas- ' . . i - i- . f irc.-, jU!t as aavoca;es ana opponents m ales tax. for example, could not. find a common necting phce, hut were finally compelled to ccepl "ometh.iii; neither is satisfied with, so the ontention over the American ; valuation plan ;oes on. The prophets say the president favors he klea,- but will suggest some modifications in he provisions for application of the principles. We may expect, also, that the message will iave some reference to the monetary system of he country, with suggestions for improvements n the banking lawp, t6 'give not only greater (ability but also freedom of action to the1 federal teserve banks.

He has definitely expressed his :cys On the movement to dismantle the De triment of Labor, stating lie will not consent o'the proposal. His leaning to the cstablish- nent of a Department of Public Welfare is also veil known, and it may come' about that some Fvidely scattered but related bureaus and com- uissions will be gathered into- closer co-ordina- ioii and set to functioning under a new cabinet position.. '-Immigration, the Philippines, better enforce- Iiient ot the jrohibjt:on laws, the ratlroads, ir.cmployment and agricultural depression are ther domestic topics that deserve discus sion, in presence ct the arms conference, no ;reat foreign problem comes out for consig nation'. ' A strong message,, outlining a definite oiicy, will be of great value as reassuring public onfidence in the outlook for business, now lowly reviving. One thing may be accepted as erfuin Mr. Harding will make no radical rcconi--Herniations, for he docs not believe in rocking he.;&oat The rest will be known - wheu his ne's'siige Is presented to the public. ; Passing of Parson Lowe. 'The pulpit strength of Omaha will suffer dis-r iact loss when Titus Lowe leaves to accept the iutjes of an important office in the Methodist hencral organization. Accepting the fact that he s called to a wider field of activity, and that a htrict adherence to the rule of itinerancy would hare-taken him from Omaha long; ago, his con gregation and the circle of evangelical churches u the city will regret his going. Rev. Dr. Lowe s one of the ablest among a long line of eminent castors who have filled the pulpit of 'the First .ethod!!t church of Omaha with dignity and dis- ijiction,- Qualified in a high degree as speaker .lid teacher, he possesses the rarer qualification f eminent ability as an executive and organizer. hVhen.the general conference met at Des Moines ast year, Dr. Lowe was given a most compli mentary vote for the high office of bishop in the .'lurch, a recognition of his fitness and a proof .ht he 19 known outside the conference to which he "is attached. When he goes into the office of I secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, he will' not be a stranger to the work,-for. hi's I service' abroad has given him first hand knowl edge of some of the problems he will have to deal, Iwith. His promotion is deserved. V Education and Americanism. Life is just one week after another", and r.liis one it is planned to observe as American Education week. Its purpose seems to be double; tirst to . call public attention to the need for education in order to protect democracy, and second to emphasize on teachers and pupils the importance of a knowledge of American history. These are both laudable objects. The development and progress of the human race it m its own nanas. it is tnrougn educa tion that improvement must come. This does not mean that by. teaching children to toe problems in arithmetic as swiftly as an adding machine or by their learning to spell words which they will never use, anything will be con tributed to the comforts or blessings of life. Xor is a knowledge of American history a panacea lor the troubles of this nation. The story of lour country most be linked up with the story lo the world and fitted in with the history of I other cations before it takes on full meaning. Thus is it also with all other lessons in the schools. Cart mutt be taken that the young mind Is not smothered under a mass of elementary detail, but is freshened and fructified by the broad vision that is opened op by intelligent teaching. Book are only doors to knowledge, and in themielves da not represent wisdom, which is a living thing. Gve the Middle West a Chance. Competition with the Panama canal is forc ing reductions in transcontinental railroad rates. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St, Paul railroad has given notice of a cut of 21 cents a hundred pound in the charge for carrying iron and steel products from Pittsburgh and Chicago to the Pacific coast. This amounts to a cut of about 25 per cent. Other lines have made lower rates also for such west coast products as fruit, vegetables and canned goods. So much traffic lias been diverted from the rail lines to the steamships that these concessions had to be made in order to attract business. The Panama canal has put competition in transporta tion. Means must now be taken to secure some of this advantage for the middle west. Hardly any direct commercial benefit has come to the interior of the continent through the Panama canal. In fact, it has enabled Cali fornia liay to he shipped by water to New York cheaper than Nebraska hay can be taken there by rail. The zones enjoying most of .the benefit of this waterway extend not more than 400 mile9 from either coast. For example, lumber from the northwest can be sent by water to an At lantic port and thence by short rail haul to Pittsburgh or Cleveland at less freight charge than if sent directly by rail. Nebraska does not share in this advantage, for it falts midway between the two coasts. But Nebraska is not therefore opposed to the Panama canal. All that it asks is equal consideration for its transportation needs. With 16 other states of the middle west, Nebraska is back of the plan for a clear channel for ocean freighters up the St. Lawrence and through the Great Lakes. This project will give the landlocked in- terior some of the advantages which now are enjoyed solely by the coastal sections. The op position of eastern interests is so patently selfish as not to deserve the consideration of congress, before which the plan is shortly to come for decision. . Washington, Oregon and California are now nearer the Atlantic coast, measured by freight costs, than are Nebraska and Iowa. They are closer also to the European markets. It is a splendid thing that they have this cheap outlet. The middle west does not want to see them lose this. All it asks is the same opportunity through the Great Lakes, which would move the sea 1,000 miles inland.

John McCrae. when he died in the ltos- pilal at uouione in January oi m. icu as m legacy to the world an immortal poem. It is no exaggeration to say that the verses 'in tun tier Fields" are indinolubly linked with tin storv of the great war. The vision of the pop pics that blow among the croses symboliies at .... .i - . . l -ii:... once an tne sorrow ana me pnuc oi mc mtum-c that they immortalize. But to those of us who were privileged to b his friends Jack McCrae left in addition to tin an abiding memory that will never be obliterate and that the laose of time can but intensify. W did not need his written verse and the story of his devotion to tell us the kind ot man he was, We had lenown it lontr. The same ideal of patriotism and devotion to duty that inspired him in the war had been the mould in which his life was cast. I can remember Jack McCrae when lie was an undergraduate at the University ot loronto. Even then h was a soldier of sorts: he belonged to an honorable but neglected body called Com pany k, the University company of the Queen i uwn nines or tne mniiia oi lauaua. inc nines were unpropitious. The atmosphere was one in which military ardor burned dim. Company K was often compelled to form its imaginary fours with only three in line. The evolutions were all too often the butt of the feeble wit of the un dergraduate; Indeed the company itself was presently attenuated to the vanishing point and disappeared. But looking back upon them !n retrospect they appear a band of heroes. McCrae'a name is only one of an honored list of Canadian soldiers, dead and living, whose first service to their conn try was in the drill squad of Company K.

Mass meetings have been called in Lancaster county, and will be in other counties, to select delegates to the convention at Grand Island on Thursday, from which it is expected a new politi cal party will emerge. Douglas faithful met Sat urday night and chose delegates to be present from this neck-o'-thc-woods. From whom they will hold credentials may not cut much figure in the gathering. This is a detail, however, and can well be left to the convention itself to settle. The character of the proceedings at Grand Island will go far in settling the future of the party. At the start certain elements of. discord are present. The so-called farmer-labor party, which ran away with the" bacon at Chica&V last year, leaving the socialists, the "48ers, and several other bands of reformers out in the cold, are willing to take over the new party in Nebraska. Likewise, the "48ers" will adopt the infant as soon as it is born, while the Townley itcs will accept it should the opportunity afford. Thus, there is no danger of its becoming a found ling. Another interesting feature is the presence of Floyd L. Bollen of Lancaster and Arthur G. Wray of York, Unless the new luminary in the political heavtn is to be a binary star, the con vention will have to make a choice between these, for a party head. The distinction should be Judge Wray's by right of discovery, proscription, adverse possession,, or any of several facts on which title may be founded. He was msurging at a time when Mr: Bollen was seeking honors as a democrat." This applies equally "to our esteemed friend, Judge Edgar Howard of Platte, whose long and varied political experience fits him to lead a forlorn .hope as well as to direct the many little details that must be looked after when political parturition impends. When the .party is brought forth, no matter under what leadership,' or to which of several more or less inchoate groups it attaches itself, it,. will have a great mission. Either it will afford a rallying place for those who are dissatisfied and discontented with the old parties, and thereby lead on to some accomplishment, or it will be come a trading stock for crafty leaders who will seek through it to "fuse" themselves into public offices they could not otherwise obtain. WThat will be concealed will be of far greater importance than what will be revealed at Grand Island. McCrea graduated in arts, and later in mcili cine, at the University of Toronto, and soon after his graduation saw active service in South Africa as an officer in the Canadian artillery. It was after his return from South Africa in 1900 that he came to McGill to fill the post of lecturer in pathology, which he occupied till August of 1914, With this he combined the arduous work of a doctor in general practice. No man of our circle in Montreal worked harder than did John Mc Crae. Yet he seemed to find time for everything, and contrived somehow to fill in the spare mo ments of a busy life with the reveries of a poet, "Flanders Fields" stands out, of course, from all that he wrote, as a poem in which the occasion and the inspiration are unique ftnd can not be repeated. But it is by no means his only poem of high merit. Those who know the excellent little memorial volume that Sir Andrew Mac phail has written will recall at once "The Oldest Drama and The Happy Warrior" as produc tions not easily surpassed. a Kplwui of farm I.lfv.

Fart of these are not all year talks. but each day, you know, brings its own pleasures. Honestly, sister, don't we baek woodswomen earn our cream? Wouldn't you prefer to pay an ex orbitant price in money rather than in your own strength? The wise ones say, "Farmers, go more extensively into dairying!" In Restriction of the business of the packers to handle only meats and related products and to prevent the handling of groceries and other com modities in their refrigerator cars is again be ing called into question. This time the western fruit growers seek to have the decree modified to allow them to market their fruit through the pa'ckers and thus save them from heavy loss. The present regulation was made on account of the fear of the wholesale grocers that the packers would get a monopoly over a large part of the grocery field. Hearings are now on in Washington, and there will be a good deal of interest in the outcome. But Jack McCrea never adopted the pose of a professional poet, He wore his hair clipped to a mriitary neatness and his clothes were of the or dinary fashion, and his manner free from the least taint of literary affectation. His only stand in? literary affiliation was with a quaint body called the fen and Pencil club of Montreal. It met fortnightly in a studio, kept its soda water (its principal possession) in a tub of ice at the side of the room, and, with some reluctance, per mitted its members to read to it their lilerarv ef forts. It was in this little circle that Jack Mc Crae's poems first came before the world. I be lieve that he also belonged in a kss regular way to a Shakespeare club, but of the high delibera tions ot that body 1 am not qualified to speak. Busy though he always was, McCrae seemed to find time for social life, and was in great de mand at Montreal dinner parties. His fund of stories that was never exhausted made him the treasure of his hostess, and even when his hostess had withdrawn Jack's stories did not ex actly come to a full stop. Yet with all his social gifts and opportunities he was a man of the greatest moderation in his eating and drinking and his amusements, abhorred late hours, and kept himself, mind and body, in the training of an athlete. I should say that the governing idea in his mind was a sense of duty; for all his merry stories, he regarded the world, after the fashion of his Scotch ancestors, as a stern place, aa abode of trial and preparation for something real beyond. For McCrae was deeply religious; not in the up-to-date sense of being intensely interested in explaining away all disagreeable forms of belief; but in the older sense of childlike reverence and implicit obedience to the Written Word. Of his Work at McGill university there is no need to speak. ' The college never had a better teacher. But his mere teaching was the least part of it. It is the example of the manly life that he led, better than all teaching and preach ing', that will remain with the generation of stu dents that were trained by him. To us in Canada it is a wonderful thought that Jack McCrea's verses and Jack McCrae's memory should have now become a part of the common heritage of the English people. These are links of empire indeed. " Art and Appetite These accounts of the poverty and distress of men who lately were hailed as heroes serve as a reminder that that stuff is not edible, and suggests the thought that the next conflict may have to be fought on the union scale, with an eight-hour day and double pay for overtime. The socialists have 66 seats in the Belgian parliament, which suggests the thought that America would be considered as going to the dogs with any such representation; but King Albert still seems to be sitting pre.ty on the roval throne. The husband-to-be of Princess Mary is 13 years her senior, and the bride herself is 24; the marriage, then, might be described as that not of May with December, btt of June with October. There ought to be a lot of kick in the cur rent furnished by the O'Xc'l! povrcr t'an. v.Ir'cb is ran on corn. Canned goods no longer sell through pretty Iabels. according to speakers at the meeting of inc western t-anners' association in Chicago. Housewives formerly bought the can of peaches that had the most luscious looking lithograph upon the label. Now the canny housewife, shut ting her eyes to the pictured fruitage, picks her brands by her experience of the contents. This seems to be the final phase in the eman cipation of appetite from art, or art from appe tite the phrase works either way. Most persons of the older generation remem ber the rage for the "still life" in art. Baskets of fruit, creels of fish and hampers of game were esteemed fit subjects for the masters of oil paint ing, and every art exhibition produced its in stant effect in a run upon the fruit stands and markets. An especially t3'pical subject was the "spill life," a box of strawberries on end and pouring its appetizing contents into the eve of the beholder. Food pictures began to go out of the salon about the time they came into the grocery. Pos sibly it was because the Tintorettos of tomatoes and the Rembrandts of radishes commercialized their talents. More likely it was the fault of the public that refused to buy a barren panel of fruit, vegetables or fish when an equally lifelike lithograph was available with a can of the real thing. Now that the still life is said to be going out of the cannery it may very well come back in the studio. The notable vogue of the old-fashioned flower pieces lately gives ground for hope that the fruit will follow. Chicago News. From Pulpit to Potato Masher.

Plenty of Freedom Here. York, Neb., Dec. 1. To the Editor of The Bee: "Irish leaders now in the spotlight are rapidly forfeiting any legitimate claim they have to leadership." So winds up n editorial in today s Bee under the heading, "Ireland Boils Over Once More." ' The Irish leaders In the spotlight that The Bee editorial says are rap idly forfeiting any legitimate claim leadership received their man-- dates from the Irish nation and havo no right, even though they were to isposed, to change in one item or iota the obligations to the Irish re public- they assumed with their lead ership, nor the fundamental prin ciples on which the Irish republic was built. To do so or attempt to do so by the leaders The Bee editorial complains of would be the vilest treason or attempted treason to their country and the vilest be- rayal of a sacred trust reposed in them ever recorded in history. Britain has never and is not now trying honestly to settle, not an Irish question, for there is no Irish question; but the question of British occupation of Ireland with her bru- black and tans armed and equipped with all the murderous paraphernalia of war. Nor is it a matter or concern to Ireland that Canada and Australia are . satisfied under - a dominion status. That Is Canada's and Aus tralia's business, and Ireland has Inclination to "butt into their affairs." They can be ruled from Downlnsr street, if they like it; have a governor general sent them by the British king, if they like it; have the laws passed by their parliaments declared unconstitutional by the British privy council, if they like it, and Ireland will not complain. What Ireland demands, and rightly de mands, Is to be allowed to attend to her own affairs without interfer ence from Britain, and Just such maudlin editorials as appeared in today's Bee on Irish affairs Is a deterrent to a settlement of Britain's terrorism In Ireland and not of a helpful nature, aa is the reference of ( The Bee and other papers to Jim Craig, the Belfast booze maker, des ignating him as the "Ulster premier" j when The Bee editorial writer knows, or should know, or get off the Job, that rister consists of nine counties and that the so-called "Ul ster parliament" consists of only six counties, two of which are solidly Sinn Fein and refuse to go Into the "Ulster parliament," while two more have a majority of Sinn Fein and refuse to go into the "Ulster parlia ment," while it is almost a stand off in one of the remaining two counties between Sinn Fe-lns and Craig's booie fighters, leaving the "Ulster parliament' that editors prate about but one county, Antrim, and it Itself la only about two thirds Craig booze fighters. Is The Bee editor trying to dignify this two-thlrd3 of a county when it re fer to the "tTlster parliament?" What make the editor of The Bee think that the glorious leader of Sinn Fein, the Methodist. Arthur Griffith; tho Episcopalian, Barton, and other Protestant like them, to gether with the Catholic. DeValera and General Mirliael Collins, are forfeiting their claim to leadership when they refuse to betray the trust repoeed in them by the Irian nation 7 Why does The Bee editor euggest the treason?' Is there an ulterior purpose in the ugefrtion? They would forfeit the confidence of the world and earn the contempt of everybody if they swerved one lota from th tram repoeed in them I mean the decency of the world.

Kcgurding Dr. Crane' Christianity, It was befit exemplified to ni whn I wrote him a letter aettina forth my rhureli'a position regarding divorce. In which he replied, ncarcely auylng two words. Christ did not defend a creed, since He had one to give, saying, "Go y thcreforo and toaoh whatso ever I have taught you." ft, Peter Wu appointed head of the church In the words, "Upon thl rock will build my church, and the gate of hell ahull not prevail against It, and "Feed my lambs, feed my sheep;" "I will give you ihe key of tha kingdom or heaven;- "Whoso ever sins, y shall be forgiven," etc. Since the apostles were authorized to forgive aitis, in tha words He breathed upon them, anylng "Who soever nlnn ye shall forgive, they shall bo forgiven," and St. Paul for giving an incestuous man therefor, the true church of Christ must for give Bins or have a sacrament of confession. St. Peter lived In Rome, and ac cording to an established tradition his successor I the bishop of Rome, which wa generally accepted until within two years of tho "reforma tlon." Dr. Frank Crane is an eloquent writer and great thinker: It is true ho has a large audience; "that which the world loveth, the father hateth; that which tho world hateth, the father loveth." For centuries Chris tianity was persecuted and was hid den in catacombs or caves in the mountains. The true Christianity of today is still hidden until some courageous soul will arise to defend it. And it is still persecuted. CHRISTIAN'. - Grain at Rosalie. Rosalie, Neb., Dec, 1. To the Editor of The Bee: In your issue of November 25 F. M. Russell, pro motion manager for the TJ. S. Grain Growers, Inc., admits that the Farmers Grain company at Rosalie turned down the contract offered by the U. 8. Grain Growers, but he savs that the "Farmers' union at Rosalie has maintained a shipping point for farmers' grain and they accepted the elevator contract, thus giving us the proper connection at that point." . If the U. S. Grain Growers' "con nection" is no better elsewhere than at Rosalie, heaven pity them! The Farmers' union at Rosalie has a store here, but it has never handled a car of grain, and -It has no loading facilities except a scoop shovel. Our company owns the only ."co-operative elevator" in the town, and the farmers never look to the Farmers' union for grain handling, nor for anything except the goods usually found in a good village store. , G.

Therefore, in a room heated by an open Are, those near the fire are too hot and those far away are too cold. Therefore, the method la ontv useful where the occupants of the room are rree to move aoout. In the borderline cases he advisee compromise Dlan which retains some of the advantages of the open lire method. It 1. that radiators be placed under the windows. That these ba run at nlaht. to warm up the walls and door. That after thla ha been done the rooms can Be keDt warm enourh during the day by open fires with no heat from tha radiators. The essential In any heating sys tem is warm floors. The occupants nf a mom can - generally make enough heat to keep their bodiea warm, but they do insist that the floor and the zone near the floor be kept warm enough to prevent thera from suffering from cold feet. Aeeordine to Pettenkofer. an apen fire carries 20,000 cubic feet of hot air up the chimney, and this air must get into the room somewhere. An open fire is liable to draw this supply along the floor as cold air. Therefore, the use of open fire heat in very cold climates is further lim ited by Its tendency to cause cold floors. -'- - , Trlmer" guag. Blood Pressure. '., S. C. write: "1.
