The recovery of foreign exchange was not a sudden thing, prung on the world over night, as our disingenuous contemporary would have its readers believe. Improvement was noted some weeks ago, and since the first ot the year, when it was made certain that the arms conference at Washington would successfully accomplish its purpose, alt foreign exchange has been gainini? in strength. The pound sterling naturally is in the lead. Several reasons may be ascribed fur this, London has been the center of the financial world since the Napoleonic wars forced the con centration at the English metropolis of the capi tal of the world. Up until the close of 1915, at least, London fixed the credit of all the world. This power shifted to the United States, because of the war, and yet abides with us. The pound sterling, then, was the unit on which the rate of exchange was established, and so remained until supplanted by the dollar. Consequently, the pound, having shrunken least of all in ratio to the dollar, recovers first and to the greatest extent. Another reason for this ,is that the British currency was the least debased by liquification incident to excessive paper issues. The British relied on heavier taxes and the least possible issue of bonded indebtedness to meet, not only war expenditures but the heavy cost of govern ment since the war. While France and Germany have been anticipating future production by pres ent issues of irredeemable paper currency and the flotation of huge bond issues, thus depressing their credit, England has struggled to maintain its national financial integrity, and with great .success. If the improvement in sterling exchange is followed by a corresponding increase in the franc and the mark, the result is a consequence of the British policy, and a reflection of the pros pect for a reduction in taxation, as exhibited by a proposal to cut the British naval budget by not less than $375,000,000 for the current year. All other countries are likewise favorably af fected by the economies made possible through the decrease in armament, and are correspond ingly benefited. That such a relief is exhibited in their increased purchasing power is not to be marveled at, nor is the accompanying, rise in the price of American produce a reasonable occasion for surprise. To ascribe all this to the beneficient effect of a proposed international banking system may suit the cards of the democratic senator from Ne braska, who is laying plans to secure a third term for himself, but it will fool nobody who has followed the international credit situation with anything like critical interest. What Others Think. To listen to the opinions of others is a salutary thing, especially beneficial in times of confusion. With so many now appearing in the guise of spokesmen for this million or that mil lion of the population, it is a good time for or dinary folk to listen to each other. Perhaps some will find that the volunteer leaders who have sprung up to fight this or that battle do not really express any prevailing or extensive sentiment. Such are some of the reasons that make those clippings that are being reprinted in The Bee from other Nebraska newspapers so full of in terest. The smaller the community from which these editorial opinions come, the greater the probability of their reflecting accurately the stand of their Section. Many of these country editors are very close to the people with whom they live. They are trusted at home, and they may be trusted in the world outside in the same way. Profound respect for the carefully weighed expressions of the country press on state and national issues, and on questions of the day quite apart from politics, is felt by all who have thought on the subject. Don't fail to read the symposiums on live Nebraska topics that are printed from time to time on this page. Consolidation of Public Offices. The public is beginning to pay a lot of atten tion to the suggestion that service may be im proved and cost of government lessened by eliminating a lot of officers that are really du plicates. Some who are in public life are step ping rather gingerly around the question, but it is a live wire, and will not be disposed of until it has been properly taken up and considered. No good reason exists why the business of Omaha and Douglas county can not be handled from one headquarters by a single set of officials. Any objection that may be raised is answered by the experience we have had with the office of treasurer. One does for city, county, school dis trict and utilities district. It has not been found necessary to consolidate the political boundaries of the city and county to accomplish the improve ment in public krvut rrtede pib! by the merging of the (our flic 1 1 of trmurtr Into on.

The first function of a newspaper it to report the news. In fulfilling that minion The Wee h found that Nebraska has turned the corner, that the doUrumi are past, that a new economic day is dawning. That it not the expression of a hope; it it the chronicle of a fact. This information it important, important for N'ebratkan themselves to know that they may appreciate iti tiiiificnce and think and act ac cordingly, important for othen to know that they may not misjudge Nebraska. The Hee it pub lishing this advertisement today at its own ex pense in a hundred leading daily and weekly newspapers of the scte. It published a similar advertisement earlier in the week Sn Editor and Publisher, a national trade magazine which reaches newnpapcri throughout the country. No longer it it a day for commiseration with one another, for idle lament, for aimleif calamity howling. "Let's all pull together for a bigger and better Nebraska." Hold the Economic Conference Here. It may be taken for granted that there will be an international economic conference, and it may be predicted that not much will come of it unlet tthe United States is represented there. Sharp jockeying between France and Great Britain has cast the date of the proposed Genoa conference in doubt. On the face of the newt it would seem that the world is asked to believe that unless certain conditions are agreed on in advance there will be no such meeting to discuss the rehabilitation of world finance. However, there will have to be a meeting to deal with the problems of peace, just as the dis armament conference, concerned chiefly with the menace of wars, was inevitable. The full meas ure of success which rewarded this arms meeting was due in part to the fact that it was held here at home in America. In spite of numerous ef forts to conceal the desires or intentions of va rious nations, the people managed to see prettj well just what was going on. Several times, it is not too much to say, American public senti ment, ' quickly felt by the foreign delegations, turned the scales against militarism and national greed. The economic conference will deal perforce with many questions in which the people of America are directly or indirectly involved. There is no important section of public opinion which favors our refusal to attend once it is put on a broad and fair basis, to that every economic problem can be hauled out into the open for in spection. No more fitting place for the conven ing of such a meeting could be found than Wash ington. The American people want to be in a position to see what is going on, and might not be in any mood to endorse conclusions arrived at in secrecy in some distant European city. Let them call the Genoa conference off, and then let them be invited to come again and take counsel with the American people. Better Times and War Finance Loans. Millions have been lent to farmers' co-operative enterprises by the War Finance corpora tion. These loans have been direct, without the intervention of any bank or loan company. The same simple method of procedure could not be followed in the cases of loans to individual farmers since it would be impossible for any single central agency to investigate the sound ness of so many thousands of local applications. A witness from North Dakota has appeared before the senate agricultural committee in Washington with the statement that although the benefits of the War Finance system are being reflected to the farmer, the loans are not getting to the dirt farmers. If he rf'eans that a fatmcr without assets or any particular pros pects can not get a loan through the federal agency, he should have said so in an outspoken fashion; it is true that every cent loaned by the government is loaned on good security. Were it otherwise, the War Finance corporation, though a private blessing, would be a public curse, with an immense deficit to be paid off by taxation. By making advances on good agricultural paper the War Finance corporation is enabling banks with slow assets to carry the existing loans of their former customers for a longer period, thus removing the necessity for unwise liquidation and relieving the financial pressure which otherwise would make it necessary for producers to sacrifice their products without re gard to the consuming demand. It ts also en abling many banks that are in first-rate condition to make new loans for helping farmers and stockmen. The situation of agriculture has been grow ing steadily better, and it is certain that such would not have been the case had it not been for the War Finanqe corporation. , Somehow we feel little sympathy will go out to the burglars who carried off a safe from a Presbyterian church, only to find it filled with aged sermons. It shows they do not know the Presbyterians. A well known cartoonist should consult his colleague, the sporting editor, as to the resem blance between a mudcat and a sucket. A defendant in a local divorce suit is ac cused of being crary over women. He is not unique; there have been others. If the Bryan brothers should reach the sen ate at the same time, a new bloc might be formed. . Men's clothes are to be a riot of color, say the clothiers. They have advance information. Unboiled water may now be returned to the dietary, which does not enthuse the home brewer. Cutting Down Expenses Con rest Not Slack in lit Effort to Ftduc the Outgo.

This action of the house it conn', tent with id record during the special aestion, at which time it made reduction in rtiitnatei tuhmitted by variou rxorutive departments in an aggre gate of about $Mi,Ui0,ikKt. Tlii. republican con grett hat shown iuclf to be in earm.t about economy. One of the brat evidences of it ia the fact that it promptly enacted the budget law, under which all methods of economy inaugur ated by the executive departments it made pos sible. It has co-operated with the executive in every particular in an effort to reduce the uncrat ing expenses of the government to the ImwcsI possible figure. Examples of extravagance and wane are con. Mainly coining before the budget bureau and before the congressional appropriation commit tees. One of the most recent examples came to light during a consideration of the budget (or the District of Columbia, in which it was disclosed that public olUciali were uaing public automo biles for private purpose. In one cae one official had incurred a repair account of $1,000 on a machine that originally cost let than half that amount. As a result of this a bill was im mediately introduced making it a misdemeanor for government official to nuke private use of public automobiles. Not only was such a bill in troduced, but Congressman Martin II. Madden, chairman of the house committee on appropria tions, issued a formal statement saying: "I have served notice directly on certain gov ernment officials and am serving notice generally cn all government officials as they come before my committee that all illegal use of government funds must stop. They must not exceed their appropriations without authority in law and then come asking for deficiency appropriations. They must not use money given them for one purpose for some other purpose. There has heen a ter rible misuse, especially of automobiles, by of ficials in certain departments. I told one official particularly that if this was not stopped I myself would take legal action to have it stopped." Speaking of the reductions in public expendi tures Congressman Madden ays: "The republican party has made a good start. It came into control of the congress in 1919. The expenses of the government in that year were over $9,000,000,000. The succeeding vear the expenses were $7,500,000,000; in 1921 $6,500,000,000; for the current fiscal year 1922, which ends June 30, next, the estimated ex penditures are $4,0J4,0()0,0OO. That indicates a reduction in cost, doesn't it? "We have $975,000,000 interest charges, $.?fil,000,000 sinking fund charge, and $489,000, 000 of expenses connected with allotments, al lowances, compensation, vocational training, hospitalization, insurance and payments to the dependents of dead or wounded soldiers who fought in the late war, amounting in .all to $1,845,000,000, no part of which existed before the war."

W, A, Kteae Why Blame the Students The New York college presidents meant to be severe on college students when one said "the modern college is a high-class country club, "use less in fitting a young man for a lucrative pro fession, and the other declared "enjoyment of luxury and ease for four years and a little study on the side constitute satisfactory fulfillment of requirements for a college degree." But the charge of futility made against the college course does not lie in appreciable degree against the men enrolled as students. If any institutions of higher learning are not fulfilling their mission the fault is with the authorities. No man can sneak through college, "spending his time smok ing cigarets and wasting his father's money and his own time," without the consent and con nivance of the faculties, the responsible heads of which are the presidents. One of the gentlemen quoted asserts the sys tem of elective studies is at the root of the failure of colleges. Why not, then, abolish the System? Young men are sent to college to be trained. If they are given more freedom than is good for them, they are not to be blamed for taking advantage of the condition. If suitable tasks are set for them and they are required to maintain grades through performance of work essential to their education they will become a credit to the institution enrolling them; if they do not they should be excluded, which would be to the credit of the college. Pittsburgh Gazette. Times. Education in Mexico One of the most marked evidences of prog ress in Mexico is the success of the schools which have been established in connection with the Mexican army. A year ago more than 80 per cent of the privates were illiterate. Today most of them can read and write. In addition to reading and writing, instruction is given in the army schools in geography, Mexican history, arithmetic, gram mar and civics. In these, as in the two primary branches, the progress of the pupils is remark able. So great is the enthusiasm that some of the regiments stationed in the interior of the country have furnished, at their own expense, all the materials for the school room. 1 For generations the ignorance of the Mexican soldiers has been proverbial. It accounted largely or the ease with which revolutions could be staged, no matter how flimsy or indefensible the cause. The soldiers themselves were rerepsenta tive of the ignorance of the population from which they were drawn. It is greatly to the credit of the present Mex ican administration that the Mexican people, sol diers included, are being lifted from the abyss of ignorance and given a chance at education. It is the only road by which Mexico can hope to rise to real prestige and sustained power. If educa tion proceeds as it has started, the United States will soon have to the south a neigTibor worthy of her confidence. Tacoma Ledger. Rooted to the Spot. " .

If these are not right. burninK fat into heat and energy makes a condition known as acidosis. Bearing all tht In mind, Dr. W. II. Holme hits worked out a series of tables which a person, knowing the metric system, and having some knowledge of calories, can use as a basis for a diet for a diabetic. I doubt It any one except a dieti tian or a doctor could do this, even with these simple tables. First, the weight of the subject la ascertained. Next, hi Buerar tolerance.

Next, the acidosis products irom protein is Riven. -irinnllv. with these several items in hand, it is possible to divide the food allowance, into carbonyaraies, protein and fats.

To the Editor of The Bee: It seems strange to me that the doctor from Norfolk needs to rpend his valuable time in studying out what is wrong with tis farmers. Will admit that most farmers do not have much ot an ed ucation. Very few ever make money enough to make M. Is or Burgeons out of their sons. Really, what's the use In giving us country boys a first-class educa tion? It would be Impossible to give us all professional vocations, and I think there is already enough edu cated bench warmers for the good of this nation. And do you think, after spending 20 years or more In the different schools, that we would go back to such hard labor as farm ing agnln? As far as our To -operative stores are concerned, they are perhaps not as successful as they miglit be. What's the difference to this doctor? I hardly think he lias any cash in vested in them. "We farmers are young at the game of co-operation, but are learning fast. The doctors know this too.

He certainly ha tho farmer alzed. up about right. Why should tha grouchy, self-centered, cgotlstlo farmer kick about hi fate when w all know ho ta go atupld thut if he gained that which he wished he would probably work all th harder? Why should the farmer complain because hi work is hard, and hour ar long? Don't he get enough to eat? Doe lie think that be should os.pl re to the social pleasure and advantages of hi superiors and more intelligent fellow? Let the poor fool make a little money and they think they ar almost human beings. If the farmer would ust be content and let some "great con structive leader" outside of the farming interests; for instance, om grain speculator or "country doctor" tell him how to run his business, how much nicer it would be. T fear, though, the obstinate fellow will continue to kick when things do not suit him, and to try to remedy them in hi "poor blundering way." OLD GROUCH. California on the First I'ac-.
