The political skein, (Mutually marled a few month ago, I being untangled and woven into a cloth of definite pattern. There is a record of, tpccilic achievement by republican officials, of certain response to the will and need of the country, to which republican may point with the knowledge that discerning mind must iccognizc iti worth. In fourteen month of icrvice the republican administration at Washington has made progress in both foreign and domestic fields. At its call a world conference has fixed limitations upon the military strength of the leading nations which puts an end to the mad race for armed suprem acy, and which permits a reduction of tax bur dens amounting to hundreds oft millions of dol lars in this country and billions of dollars in the world at large, With wise discernment the ad ministration has kept clear of the alluring in vitation to a general European political confer ence, a decision whose soundness is increasingly evident with each added day of activity at Genoa. ' The country's foreign trade in agricultural products, in the face of democratic predictions ' and claims to the contrary, has been almost ex actly twice that of prewar years. The value of farm and forest products exported in 1921 was $2,204,000,000, as against a five-year average of , $1,142,000,000 in 1910-1914. Wheat exports in 1921 amounted to 279,949,999 bushels, compared with 218,287,000 bushels in 1920 and 78,390,000 bushels, prewar average. In 1921 the combined exports of wheat and wheat flour (computed in terms of wheat) were 355,551,000 bushels. This was the largest quantity of wheat ever exported from the United States during any one year and trip first lima' in th rnnntrv'a histnrv that th value of wheat and. wheat flour exports ex ceeded, that of exported cotton.' Very evidently, the League of Nations was not necessary for the maintenance of American foreign trade. At the same time, -following the' establishment of the emergency tariff, imports of agricultural and for est products, dropped from $3,537,000,000 in 1920 to $1,470,000,000 in 1921. -y Confronted 1 with a serious crisis in- the financing and marketing of agricultural prod ucts, the administration revived the War Finance corporation and extended its power to permit loans to finance various agricultural activities. ' This one act enabled thousands of farmers to escape absolute ruin, to re-establish their credit, , to rebuild their herds and to hold their grain for more advantageous sale. ' Congress enacted and the president approved, the Sheppard-Towncr maternity bill in response to the expressed wish of the women of the country. , !' , . ' ,; The necessity for reducing the dost of i gov ernment from the unprecedented height inherited from the Wilson administration brought definite response from the national governments As a result of.economies'effected by Charles G.Dawes aa' budget director and by joint effort' of. ex ecutives and congress, a total ot $1,600,000,000 was pruned from the annual expenditures, 1922 over 1921. r:. . .;; This same effort toward lifting the tax bur den was shown by the republican state adminis tration. Thanks to the operation of the state budget, adopted by the legislature of 1919 at the suggestion of the governor, a special session of the legislature was able to cut appropriations for state government more than $2,000,000, en abling a reduction of approximately 33 per cent in me vm. state general tuna tax levy. During the three and one-half years of state administration under republican control the state has been .criss-crossed with improved highways. Changes in the organization of the state govern ment have been made which have detnon- strated greater efficiency. A constitutional con vention has been called and revised the funda mental law of the state in a manner approved by ' a overwhelming vbte of the people. Cofpora . tion ; promoters ' charged with misuse . of ' in vestors 'funds, have been sent to the penitentiary. and others have been indicted, now awaiting trial. A atate capitol has been authorized, plans selected, and work started. -. ;,: A fund of $2,000,000 was set apart by the leg islature for the relief of disabled and needy Ne braska ex-service men. The federal government . , has expended more than $500,000,000 in rehabilita tion and relief work since the Harding adminis , tration took hold, and has completely reorganized . the. inadequate arrangements made by the F democrats for caring for the soldiers. . This is a partial account of the major items m the record of accomplishment with which the republicans of Nebraska go into the 1922 cam- paign. It is a record of past events, but it is important, as it indicates the desire for good government and the capacity for administration upon which the people will wish to depend in the coining still critical years. International Business. - Oil appears to fie troubling the waters at Genoa, with the oft-dented and affirmed story of the concession of the Russian oil fields to the Shell interests. In past times nations have em barked on wars for less than this. Undoubtedly, if the British corporation has sealed this con tract, it will .be a bitter disappointment to the French, who ha4 planned for a partition of Rut sis tomeihing after tht style in China. Hottftcr, thote ho look for a vulnsr and acrimonious scramble among the various petro leuiit contpauies re more thaa likely miatake. Tbe thing are better managed now. Through interlocking of interetli tht great world-trading corporations are mare international than the r4 dett socialite. Evidence hat beea adduced that the Standard Oil company hat reached an agree ruent of a sort with the Shell company at well (twrll a with other rivals, Inttead of appeal to the war spirit for the protection of this interest ct that, they will now fettle the affair among them selves. Britain may have brought home lh bacon In it dealing with the soviet republic, but others will thare. This U at least better than a metty war. A Year of Big Farm Exports. The complaint of Carl Vroomaa that tuf ftcient credits have not been granted Europe for the purchase of food.tufl is bound to prove In terring to the middle west The confentioa that lack of purchasing power lias reduced the amount of farm products shipped abroad, how ever, i not borne out by expert statistics. Ansly.i made by the United States Depart tnent of Agriculture disclose that the 1921 ex port of corn, including corn meal, amounted to 132.266,000 bushels, valued at $96,566,000. For 1920 exports amounted only to 21JJO.0O0 bushels, valued at JJ3.9J2.000. The prewar average, from 1910 to 1914 was 40335.000 bushel, valued at $26,417,000. Only In the years from 1896 to 1900 were corn exports larger than In 1921. ' At the tame time America tent abroad the largest volume of wheat and flour ever exported in any year. The total was 355,551,000 bu.hels, with a declared value of $550,661,000. Commodities showing an increase in exooiis over 1921 are listed as follows: Wheat, cotton, rorn, rice, barley, pork and pork products except bacon, oleo oil, cottonseed oil and cake, refined ugar, green apples, eggs, tobacco, dried apples and apricots and prune. All of these except cotton and -its products and dried anoles also gained over the five-year prewar average. There were some products showing decreases: Wheat flour, rye and rye flour, oats. beef, bacon, butter and cheese, condensed milk, potatoes, hop, dried peaches and raisins However, all these except oats and beef, excelled the prewar export average. The sum of these facts is that in 1921 ex. ports of farm products increased 27 per cent in quantity over 1920. "Through the fall in worM prices the declared value of these products was 39 per cent less than such values in 1920. It is to le doubted that lending money to Europe with which to pay its grocery bill to us would have increased prices paid the farmers. Mr. Vroo man, who was assistant secretary of agriculture in tne Wilson administration, appears to be more partisan than accurate. . ' . Morris on Muscle Shoals. When Senator Norn's voices onnnsilii-in In the Henry Ford proposal for a long lease on the Muscle 5hoals plant, in which the federal government has so much invested, it itn tint mean that the senator is averse to the completion ot the work and the operation of the plant. It simply attests his judgment of the offer made by the great manufacturer. Senator Norris has examined both the plant and the proposal, and has reached the conclusion that it wnntrt h bad bargain for the United States to let the great investment go on the terms offered. The Mus cle Mioals installation should be comoletf t in the point where it can be made available for its lull service. This service should be rendered on terms equitable to all, and must not become a source of revenue to private parties. It has been carried on so far at public expense, and even if leased to Ford, the greater oart of the unfin ished work must bedone at public charge. It can ana should be completed and managed in such fashion as will make its possibilities for power available on terms that will enable the de velopment of Jhe nitrate industry, the extension of manufacturing in the range of the plant, and yet return to the government something on the huge sum of capital it represents. Senator Nor ris has in mind that a plan of this nature should be adopted, and it is not likely that congress in its present mood will permit one of the coun try's great assets to slip so easily into private control as the Ford proposition contemplates Recognition of Mexico. While the European powers are dickering at Genoa as to the basis for recognition of the Rus sian governmenta somewhat similar drama is in progress at Washington," where reoresentatives of the Obregon administration are trying to se cure recognition tor Mexico. Exactly the same principle is involved, and so far the Hardin ad ministration is as firm with Mexico as with Rus sia. Preliminary to any. agreement, Mexico must admit responsibility for the losses suffer Kv Americans incident to the disorders in that coun try, and must provide against confiscation of property now held. This latter steD i nottaW to secure any special favor for American capital in Mexico; it merely is intended to secure peace ful possession of property acquired in conform ity to the laws of Mexico. The Obregon advo cates are now asking that a commission be named to formulate a basis for recognition, a plan to which the administration' haa vnird tin .objection, insisting : however that ; guarantees against connscauon be given. Friendly inter course between the United States and Mexico continues, and full recognition will be granted as soon as the Obregon group is able to acknowl edge its obligations. Mr. Harding is not seek ing to interfere with any internal regulation of our. neighbors, but he does insist that they ac cept conditions under which all civilized govern ments exist. Mexico will quickly be recognized by America when the Mexicans are -willing to behave. , ' - The Prince of Wales has bought a set of ladies' kimonas on his visit in Japan, whereupon the correspondents infer that he is soon to be married however, the royal son may be merely stocking up his hope box. . France retains her glory, but her deficit is growing. Tax returns are 12& per cent under the budget estimates. It is interesting to note that collections under the sales tax are disap pointing. ' ' About the meanest thieves are those who steal automobiles, strip off movable parts and set the rest on fire. " Nebraska and Iowa, with a total of 95 landing fields, might be considered pretty soft for aviators, - After Death, What? Co tun DoyU'e Spook Stuff and tome Other WtU Founded Notions. (Montrose J. Mom, in LetUe'i Weekly ) Following in the foot.trpi df turn noted tcientiatt at Sir Oliver Lodje, Sr William Crooket, and Sir Alfred Ruell Wallace, Sir Arthur Conan Dole originator of the Sherlock Holme stories htt entered the rank a an ardent tutrorter of sniritulim. lie it traveling (bout America to tell, not alone how he was con verted from grot materirfluni to belief in the after Me, but to show by meant of deacriptioni of personal encounter and graphic tpirit photo graph that, where other otlrr speculation, to him life alter death i a positive a fact a any of which scientific proof nught be ottered. The history oi all di.coverie show that they ttartcd in an atmo.phrre oi humoroua derision; they were played with a tpiriiualum it toyed with by the untied The pUnthctte. the ouija toard, the charlatan tcancc. the nund reading which masquerades under the uie of deeper clairvoyance, are amusement for group who know nothing of the deeper forces at work, and are willing to let them ret at the pook"tage. But to Sir Arthur, tpirituali.m i year by year taking a firmer hold of u all, even on organized religion itself. During the burial service, doe not the minister speak of the spirit of the de parted being present? It that mere metaphor? Then so sre the mini.ter's own belief which he utters with conviction. What is dogmatic asser tion of immortality by the side of actual proof? Though the spiritualist it a Unitarian, what he hat oroven to himself he offcrt to all religion. The New Testament is solid piritualiin," Sir Arthur asserts unhesitatingly. t'hviira hav nrnvtn that there are overtone nd undertones of sound not detectable to the ear; that there are color vibrations not registered by the human eye. Fhyscist at the University of London have photographed as a physical fact not at a psychic manifestation the aura of iwnnli" cverv one of us. thev sav. is outlined in definite color, ray that flash from our body. Argue from this and from the gradual return of the churches to mysticitm, and it would be un fair to close one's mind 1o any proofs in any direction. To most of us the actual communica tion with the tpirit world must be subjected to further proof, just at the signals from Mars have vet to be settled at not merely being electrical disturbances. But Sir Arthur believes that the proof of an after life, the ability to get in actual touch with those we love, will not alone be a comfort which will give a richer meaning to belief, but it will alter our daily lives and characters immeasurably. Would the mur derer stop murdering if he knew positively that the one he most Joved. wno nao me most in fluence in his life, was near him? You may say that in such a person even the wee sma voice of conscience is stilled. But here the vary voice or presence of the dead is the influence for good. Sir Arthur conan jjoyie merciorc come i America to claim that spiritual proof of a life after death will make live the heart of all religion, and will better the world's conduct at a time when it is sorely needed. I could not help but feci, while on shipboard, that the presence of William J. Burns, the fa mous secret service head, whose friendship for Sir Arthur is of many years standing, was a symbol of the Conan Doyle we once knew, stand ing beside the spiritualist we in America are to know through a series of lectures. "This is no new thing with me," declared Sir Arthur; "For thirty-six years, since I read a book by an Amer ican. Judge Edmunds. I have been an investiga tor." There is one thing that can not be gain said about it. The Doyle family seem to be supremely happy. Does not Maeterlinck reach the same attitude in "The Blue Bird." where radiance blooms at the bare assertion that there is no deathl Frost Stimulates Growth According to common belief, cold weather causes plants to become dormant during the fall, while warm weather the succeeding spring again incites new growth. Intensive investiga tions of Dr. Frederick V. Coville of the .Federal Department of Agriculture, which have been conducted over a period of 10 years and which have covered every phase' of this subject, demon strate' that 'both of these traditional theories are erroneous. Dormancy in our native trees and shrubs begins some time before the start of cold weather each winter; the appearance of Jack Frost is not necessary for the establishment of comolcte dormancy. Furthermore, after such a condition of dormancy has developed exposure of the plants to the ordinary growing temperature thereafter does not arouse them from their lethargy so that they begin growth anew. Interestingly enough, the Coville experiments show that plants which have responded to the lure of autumnal and winter dormancy will not react properly and resume normal growth the following spring unless they are subjected during the-interim to a period of chilling. A certain amount of cold is essential to stimulate the plant growth despite the old-fashioned, idea that, re tarded growth and low temperatures were sy nonymous. Dr. Coville removed healthy blue berry plants during the late summer from their outdoor beds and placed them in a greenhouse, where the plants were maintained at ordinary growing temperatures such as would have kept the plants in luxuriant growth during the spring and summer months. Despite these ideal en vironments the refractory blueberry plants re fused to continue to grow, but instead shed their leaves and shortly lapsed into a condition of complete dormancy. Scientific American. Nat Goldstein's Case Democratic senators are savagely attacking the nomination by President Harding of Nat Goldstein of St. Louis for the position of col lector of internal revenue in that city. They call the nomination "staggering." Mr. Goldstein having accepted $2,500 from the managers of the Lowden presidential campaign in 1920, and hav ing made no satisfactory explanation of what he did with the money. , The White House says informally . that it neither boasts of nor apologizes' for its nomina tions. It seems, however, that Senator Spencer of Missouri has assured the president that Mr. Goldstein is a man of "absolute integrity," and that the nomination was made on that assurance. It required .courage to send that nomination to the senate, and the duty of that body, of course,- is clear. , Partisan assaults, based on rumor or mere, suspicion, will make little im pression on fair-minded .persons, but there are ways of finding out about that $2,500 transaction, and the senate should know. What was the money paid for, and how was.it used? Mr. Low den, it should be recalled, repudiated Goldstein. The facts in the case would be infinitely more relevant than indignant partisan denunciation. The senate should reject the nomination if it is actually unfit. If it is not unfit, simple justice should be done to fhe president, his advisers and the nominee. Chicago News. Up to the People.

Why, dear me, tha place to be, As you will see, Is the hotel, The Fontenelle. From the station, it's not far Just take a cab or car, And mark it well When you hear 'em yell, 'The Fontenelle." Now, if Omaha you coma te sell, Well, the place to stop and tell About the goods you sell Is the Fontenelle. And if a friend you meet. By chance upon the street, You'll be proud to say, "Come, have lunch with me today, At my hotel, The Fontenelle." . J. Lahroy Slusher, President, Mercantile Oil and Refining Co., Muskogee, Okie.
