Signs of Better Times.
The groundhog saw his shadow in Omaha,
nil right, and those who pin their faith on him
may prepare for six weeks more of winter. None
will be disappointed, however, if he proves, as
it'tcii he has, a faUe and fickle prophet. Another
shadow that has living over Omaha and all the
land for many months is surely disappearing,
and faster than many folks realize. One swal
low does not make a summer, or one robin a
spring, but many signs combine to prove that
hard times are going. Business is coming back,
end real activity is on the way. ,.
Fact No. 1 in the list is that in January the
number of building permits issued by the city
were more than double the record for January
last year. Sixty-three of these are for small
homes, to cost around $.1,500 each. This means
employment for building trades mechanics; it
also means relief for the housing shortage, and
grow th for the city. The number is small, only
a drop in the bucket compared to what is
needed, but it is the drop that indicates the start-
mg of the stream. Work on other projects will
soon be under way, and a season of genuine ac
tivity in the building line is commencing.
The announcement of the coming to the city
of another retail firm would ordinarily not mean
a great deal, but when that firm is one that is
engaged in operations of unusual importance,
and has selected this city as one to add to its
already extensive enterprise, the fact is signifi
cant not only of the awakening of trade here,
but of the recognition of that truth abroad.
Omaha, has grown far more than is realized dur
ing the last ttirce or four years, and is becoming
the market town in fact as well as jn name. .
Public improvements already planned call for
the expenditure of a large amount of money, and
the consequent employment of a great many men
during the coming season. Local jobbing houses
all record improving conditions in trade, and the
factories arc steadily putting out their product
and find ready sale for all they make.
Business it on the upgrade, stagnation is giv-
ing way to activity, and the outlook' for "the
spring and summer is encouraging to all. Hard
times are surely softening into better very. fast.
"Solid Democratic Opposition."
Three republicans, Borah, LaFoltette and
Xorris; joined with the solid democratic minor
ity in opposing the bill. From a Washington
Dispatch. .
Almost any democratic newspaper keeps
standing an editorial which makes doleful com
plaint that the republicans have done nothing to
relieve the country since coming into full power
less than a year ago. When the record is ex
amined, however, it will be noted that the pas
sage of every measure is accompanied by the
statement that it had the opposition of "the solid
democratic minority."
In the present case the measure is one pro
posed by the. administration for funding the
European war debt. Not a cent of additional
cost to Americans' is included, no tax will be
levied, nor any expense incurred, the only pur
pose of the bill being to turn a liability into an
asset. Yet it is opposed by the democrats in
the senate as a unit.
Democratic senators took full part in framing
the bill as it was passed, Senator Walsh of Mon
tana securing the adoption of an important
amendment, yet all voted against it on final pas
sage. The purpose of the course adopted is
plain. The democrats do not propose to eon
sent to any relief for the country, in order that
by defeating if possible some part of the admin
istration program they will have ammunition
for the approaching campaign. Professing- a
patriotic devotion to public interest, the party
exhibits its mulish proclivities by holding back,
and forcing the republicans to drag it along with
the load of difficulty left when Woodrow Wilson
went out of office.
" The solid democratic minority is welcome to
pursue its tactics of obstruction to the limit, and
will probably find itself more of a minority than
ever after the polls close next November.
The Soldier Wins.
r The Omaha Chamber of Commerce indorse
ment of the Fordney adjusted compensation bill
for ex-soldiers is indicative of the general sup
port that is coming to the so-called bonus legis
lation. The ex-service men are going to receive
relief; the only question is the exact method to
be followed in making it available and in obtain
ing the funds with which to finance it.'
The unfortunate thing is that the ex-service
men have had to fight so long and so hard for
that which they seek. At no time probably will
they need or appreciate the compensation adjust
ment more than in the last three years wha
they were suffering the difficulties" 'incident to

World Afain Settling Slowly,
When the Waihington conference wis called
it was with, a definite .understanding that its
scope would be sharply limited. Specific topics
were to be ducuued, and theie were carefully
lutlincd in the agenda. Almo,t three months
have bren consumed in the consideration of thee
subjects, and a reasonable agreement has been
reached concerning them. The United States,
Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan have en
tered into a compact which stops the ruinous
competition in navy building. In a like manner.
and with Holland and Tortugal included, these
powers have come to an understanding with
reference to questions affecting the Facific and
the J ar East; China and Japan have come to a
settlement as to Shantung and all that is in
volved, and Mr. Balfour, speaking for Great
Britain, says that under suitable arrangements!
Wei Ifei Wei is to be turned back to China by
the British.
More than this scarcely could have been done,
for this covers the entire program. The work
is well done, for the treaties do not contain liard
and fast rules for settling all world questions,
but deal in temperate and reasonable fashion
only with a few, but these few such as in a large
measure affect the general peace. Considered
solely as the first of a number of international
conferences that are to give attention to prob
lems that involve the future, the Washington
gathering has been a tremendous success. What
influence it will have on the assemblies that are
to follow is certain to be beneficial, for it has
cleared the way by removing obstacles that
would have hindered progress.
Europe's turn is next, and if the Genoa con
ference coms to any suoh consummation as was
attained at Washington, a great deal will have
been done in the direction of stabilizing world
conditions. Slowly but surely the distrubance is
clearing up, and the way to normalcy is being
opened by orderly effort.
Spoils of Border Warjare
Bottles and Jugs of Boose
Taken to North and South.
Letting in the Light.
A sentence directed by President James R.
Howard of the American Farm Bureau to the
farmers at the Ohio "State university meeting
should be pondered by all classes of Americans.
Mr. Howard said:
Men forget that too much printing press
and too little intrinsic value is at the seat of
Europe's trouble today, and that the "assignat"
helped provoke the French revolution.
A considerable group of our citizens seem to
think that a flood of money is all that is needed
to relicye our economic woes. If money were
the source of happiness, Russia would be in an
ecstacy of wealth rather than a delirium of debt
Germany's fictitious prosperity, resting on the
flood of fiat money, is fading already, as the cold
rocks of economic necessity begin to appear.
No nation or individual ever succeeded in
borrowing enough to get out of debt.. A deluge
of currency issued against Liberty bonds would
fill every bank and perhaps every wallet in the
country, but it would not increase the yield of
corn or hogs, lay another brick; set another
locomotive to hauling freight, or do any of the
things that really are necessary. All the money
could be wiped out, and the creation of wealth
would not be stopped, for wealth is not money,
but raw material plus labor.
America is slowly winning back to healthy
conditions, and this is a poor time to practice
quackery, of any sort in hope of hastening the
process.- , ."
Leaving America Lonely.
'"Europe," cables Paul. Scott Mowrer from
Paris, "has temporarily abandoned hope of Amer
ican co-operation. As a result of the Washing
ton conference,' its statesmen are rapidly decid
ing to go ahead with the process of political and
economic reconstruction without further regard
to the United States." And this denotes another
distinct difference, one that is advantageous to
the United States, between the Paris and the
Washington conferences. At the close of the
first Europe sat back and waited for the United
States to step in and shoulder its economic
burden, as well as assuming an equal share in
the political turmoil, so prevalent at the time. If
the progress at Washington has made it clear
to the European statesmen that they are ex
pected to stand on their own feet, to settle their
own differences in their own way, so long as
they do not endanger the peace of the world, and
that the United States does not propose, to lend
its credit to support national extravagance across
the Atlantic, then the Harding conference has
accomplished vastly more for Europe's good
than did the Wilson gathering, and this without
regard for the limitation of arms. Europe will
be rehabilitated when its people cease to look
for Uncle Sam to assume the role of Lady Boun
tiful and Haroun al Raschid combined. A little
self-help js needed over there.

the effort to make prohibition prohibit. The
government agents seized liquor, and property

liquor that was smuggled into Vermont despite
the viKilance of the othcers. Anl what was hap

province of Quebec, where much of this imported

Perception Testers
Through the channels from whence come
interesting matter cliDDcd from other publications
around the world for the entertainment of Herald
readers when there is space for it arrives this
tale:
A Reno gentleman had. on a Saturday night,
become very much absorbed in The Tale
of Two Cities." Particularly was he impressed
with the description of the euillotine and the
unfortunates upon whose necks it descended so
devastatmgly. The vision preyed upon nis
imagination.
Next day, his wite insisted tnat ne accom-
. ' . a l . e S -
pany her to churcn. tie arowsea during a
lonsr praver. and dreamed that the gullotine
was about to descend on his bent neck. Wife,
unon resuminir her seat-when the prayer was
over, noticed that her husband was asleep and
still leaning forward, his head resting on his
hands on the pew ahead. And so, with her
fan, she tapped him lightly upon the back
of the neck. Whereupon, the tap of the fan
representing in his dream the fall of the gul-
liotine, he fell dead. t
This reminds one of the story of a story told
years ago one night at a party in Superior
where a number of Duluth men were guests.
The story was of one of Napoleon's braves who
lost an arm in a gallant military exploit. On
his recovery he was called out before the army
by Napoleon, with bis armless ' sleeve hanging
by his side, and Napoleon pinned upon his breast
the Cross of the Legion of Honor. The veteran,
overcome by the honor, drew out his sword and
cut his other arm off. So ran the story.
Most of those who heard the story laughed
more or less slowly, but one Duluth man didn't.
Next morning on the way home the party ran
until after the street cars had quit this man sud
denly aroused himself from a doze and re
marked: "What gets me about that Napoleon
story is how that man cut off his arm when his
other arm was already off."
Sooner or later somebody is going to ask, re
garding that story of the Reno man who died
from imagination, by what method of com
munication with the other world they learned
what he was dreaming about when he died.

Insurance for Farm Crops

A story from Washington says: Insurance of
crops as a method of stabilizing prices of farm
products is expected to be one of the many sug
gestions put forward at the national agricultural
conference which opens here January 23.
What the farmer desires is value not bulk.
The best insurance of the stability of value is
the unfettered operation of the law of supply and
demand. Insurance against weather conditions
or agatnst pests would interfere with that sta
bility that the unfettered application of the law
of suoolv and demand would give. If the farmers
make a very large crop they would make an
unusually large amount ot money it prices were
as high in good crop years as in bad. If they
make an unusually small crop they would suffer
if prices for a small crop were no higher than
for a laree one. But the . law of supply 'and
demand steps in and operates towards an equal
ization of .conditions; for a large crop would
mean low prices while a small crop would mean
high prices. Thus, under the workings of the law
of supply and demand, the average value of the
farm yield is much more nearly equal year by
year than it would be if an attempt were made
to regulate it by insurance. Insurance would
reduce the profits of the farmers every year by
the amount of the premiums they paid and it
would give them compensation in bad crop years
in addition to the compensation they would re
ceive due to highof prices. Florida Times-Union.

Liberal Republican Club.
Omaha. Feb. 1. To the Editor of
Tho Met-: There are. politically
xpeaKing, oniy two groups In any
country, liberals and conservatives,
the left and the right. Uut the demo
cratic and republican parties huve
persisted in America and they tight
wifir uitmen on tradition, the old
sectional differences, pesonalltlea
and accidental ixsiies. Our effort
snouia ne to make the republican
party ine uoerai party In Amerle
a uoerai ia one who is ablo to
nold fast to what is good in the old
order, but who insists that the old
oraer la neither sacred nor perfect
A liberal ia willing to change an
cient lawa and customs whenever
it can be demonstrated that other
methods ao more Just.
In the civilization we have Inherited
there Js too mucli reward for
shrewd people and too little reward
for industrious people. Name a
scoro of men who have made tho
most money in Nebraska recently,
and you will have before you not
the ones who worked the hardest
or who produced the most, but those
keen traders without whom the state
would be just as prosperous. Legis
lation can remedy the Injustice of
this situation in some degree.
There are twice as many liberals
as there are conservatives in Ne
braska today. We do not expect 'any
great proportion of them to join this
or any other club, but we want to
keep them in the republican party.
AVe want to speak for them from
time to time, and to vote with them
at the republican primary and on
election day. THOMAS LYNCH.

NEVER LEFT LOVE UNSAID.
We nevar left our lova unsaid
Put alwaya made It plain with apeerh.
With worda we cried It, each to each:
Where only allencea can reach
We thought by worde to touch and tread;
With worda our love w overnpread.
With worda, -with words our hearta were
wed.
W never left our love unsaid,
Vi". never let It lake lie way
t'r.watrhed and hid. Too little dread
We had of love, of love'a atrange sway.
With worda wa watched our love deray,.
With words wa mourned it, with worda w
pled
And followed after where It fled
And would not leave Its death unulJ.
