American will tand at attention today, while a mighty host of heroes ia by. Only the re view will not be visible to the phytiral eye. Col- , umn will past through the trert. banner will fly. drums will brat, and there w ill be pomp and panoply to mark the occasion, with flag at half taft to denote that it it one of solemn dedication rather than of joyous ceremony. Alongside and over thee will silently sweep through the thor oughfarea massed columns of veterans who wore the blue and those who wore the gray; the buff and blue of the colonial troop, the blue of 1812 and the War with Mexico; those who yielded up their lives in comhat with the Indians; heroes of the War with Spain and of the Philippine In surrection, and the later boys who died that Freedom might live in the World War. Their serried ranks will be noted by every thoughtful American who lifts his hat as the flag passes today, for it is Memorial Day. and in that memory the nation includes its soldiers and sail ors from the first on down. Washington and Warren and Putnam, Lawrence and Perry and Jackson, Harrison and Scott and Taylor and Bragg, Grant and Lee, and Hooker, "Pap" Thomas and "Pap" Price,' Hancock, Sheridan, Custer, "Jube" Early and "Stonewall". Jackson, Thayer and Stotsenherg and Culver the roll is a long one, and is continually growing, but they will all be in that column, and the millions of soldiers and sailors who have fought under them will march with them. It will be a wonderful sight, and an inspira tion for him whose soul can discern this great parade of herors; all sons of America. And Old Glory win rustle as they salute, because a nation that remembers is a nation that will endure. So, while remembering, as the great Lincoln said we would, "what they did here," every heart will also recall the "simple words of General Grant,' as Jie ended theWar of the Rebellion', by receiving the surrender of Lee, "Let us have peace 1" Memorial Day is a day for rededication, and the holiest tribute that can be paid to any hero who has heard "assembly" from the other side is to remember 'that he fought that the world might have peace, and that America should endure. . '' . - 7 Not glory they sought, nor life's shallow fame. N05 honor, nor hope of renown They battled for God, and their country' fair name. ? And the flag that never came down. ; A Father's Plea for His Son. "0, my son Absalom, my son, my son Absa lom I would God I had died for thee, 0 Absa lom, my son, my son!" . That lament of a father for his beloved boy has come down to us through thousands of years, a touching reminder of the sorrow of a strong heart for a son who had gone wrong. Its pathos loses nothing of poignancy because of the centuries that have flown since it was ut tered. Every father feels in hit heart of hearts that he could share David's woe, were he called upon to face such circumstances. Now we tee an aged, venerable Nebraskan, one who has been honored by his fellow citi zens, bowing before a criminal court in Chicago, and pleading for his son. Without undertaking to minimize the crime, the sympathy of the peo ple of Nebraska will' go out to Wilbur F. Bryant because of his affliction. He is sore stricken, and he deserves consolation from those who know him. He pleads for his son, seeking to palliate his offense by citing the fact that the young man was a casualty in France; that he sustained in juries that may have affected his mind. The crime of which he is accused, grave as it may be, is of such a nature as indicates a disordered mind. The" Bee has no intent of prejudging the case, but it has consideration for the spectacle of that father, aged and infirm, weakened by long years of service, standing in court and asking that his boy '1k given examination to show whether he is accountable. o David's sorrow over Absalom' is no keener or deeper than Judge Bryant's for his own erring' boy. . ' . Unwinding Red Tape. Announcement of a plan by the United States ..-Chamber. of Commerce for the use of arbitration ' to settle commercial disputes is a matter of major importance. This movement does not concern capital and labor, but only groups of business ' men. It looks, not to a fairer decision, but to . one more prompt and less costly. In it may be seen another indication of the fact that the Amer ican judicial system has become so clogged with " technicalities and red tape that a revision is neces ' ' sary. : , - - , . This is the age of prevention. ; The medical profession 'strives to eliminate or forestall disease instead of centering its full attention on curative .- methods. The best attorneys try to adjust their - cases out of court ' and strive constantly to dis ' ' courage litigation. There are many indications that the reform of legal procedure is on the way. If this movement for the arbitration of trade . disputes succeeds, it will not only remove some ' of the congestion in the courts, but will in due course of time encourage consideration of plans . for the simplification of the processes of justice. There, are suggested three main features of such tet'orOi! Th iubiituliati et dwtwy rl I twn (or the prewnt m4ory, mwtery legit.

If this vi er not the cat, the trend toward arbitra tion that it teen in to many quarters would not be to large or to important. t - j Names on the Morse Petition. Attorney General Daugherty hat it least given Senatort Carraway and Walton of Geor gia something to think about, in the liit of camel of member of congress who tigned the petition for a pardon for Charles W. Morte in 1912. Among the democratic senatort now liv ing art those of Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida, Carter Glass of Virginia, J. Thomas Heflin of Alabama, Lee Overman of North Carolina and Robert L, Owen of Oklahoma. Democratic tnemberi of the house now serving in congrett who tigned the petition were Joseph W. Byrnt of Tennet.ee and Frank Clark of Florida. These are by no meant all the democrats who. joined in asking for the pardon of Morte. Jamet M. Cox, late candidate for president, tigned the petition; to did Cordcll Hull, present chairman of the democratic national committee; W. Bourke Cockrau, spellbinder from New York; Swager Sherlry of Kentucky (since deceased, but then a shining light); "Jim" Slayden of Texas, who wat sacrificed by Woodrow Wilton because he was recalcitrant; and a host of lesser luminaries of the party. The Bee agrees with itt esteemed contem porary that the Morse pardon was not a partisan affair, but it doet insist that the onslaught on the attorney general is partisan of the meanest grade. It is to protect and cover up if possible men who looted the United States treasury under guise of patriotic service. As to the nonpoliticai aspect of the affair, the selection of Charles Spaulding Thomas of Colo rado to sit alongside the attorney general in deal ing with the cases ought to be sufficient guar anty. The choice will bring no joy to those who are under suspicion, but it will reassure the pub lic that the prosecution means business. Prosperity in Nebraska.' The Omaha business men who made a long trip through western Iowa, into South Dakota and across northern Nebraska came home with glowing accounts of the visible evidences of ma terial prosperity that were seen along the route. Instead of communities downcast and dejected, 1 hey found the citizens up and coming, with all sorts of public and private work under headway, chief of which was the large amount of paving that is being done. A well known Omaha builder said last, week that, although he did not have as much work in the city as u'sual.Mie was so busy with out-of-town work that fie scarcely could give all the attention it demands. Reports from different localities as well as from the head quarters of the agricultural department at .Lin coln all tend to one point, that the crop outlook never was so good as at present. Bankers agree that money is more plentiful and borrowers are finding less difficulty in finding "accommodations than for a long time past. All these signs mean that the day for the pessimist is past, the calamity howler has been driven to his hole by the sun shine of prosperity in Nebraska, and that indus try and thrift will be rewarded here as it has been in days gone by. The Bee repeats the ad vice it gave them months ago, when these things could be discerned. "Let's gol" - Overhaul'the "Wild Man." Omaha authorities, and those of the state as well, have now a very pressing duty. They should proceed with utmost vigor to overhaul the socalle'd wild man, who perpetrated one of the most fantastic crimes ever chronicled in the community, t His name and personal description is well known, and he should not be permitted to elude custody long. Whether he.be insane or not, he is a menace, and should not be per mitted to run at larse. His victims are in fi 1 ... o .uugraimaica on ineir escape irom ius den, as they might have fared much worse than ithey did. While the search for this criminal is. go ing on, the authorities will do well to tighten up the machinery of the law a little .all around. Last week was one of the most remarkable in all Omaha's history, and it should be left to stand alone. Why are the democrats so eager to get rid of Harry Daugherty, now that he has actually com menced to dig up and expose war frauds? , ; Nebraskans have faith in Frank Reavis as k prosecutor. . The "unloaded" revolver is nearly as danger ous as the footpad. ' If Darrough could be induced to pitch all Omaha's game , for a time the standing of the team might be benefited. June 1 looks like a black day for grafters. Democratic ''Economy" It was intended, by the Liberty loan acts, that we should buy the bonds of foreign nations. Instead, all that the present administration found to show for this vast sum f ere memoranda of some diplomatic agent or official. Not only was this true, but there was the general impression and belief existing, in every country to which this money had been advanced, induced, no doubt, by the conduct and public utterances of Presi dent Wilson, that the United States never in tended to collect these amounts. The incoming administration and a republican congress has had, therefore, two things to do: First to overcome the erroneous impression held by foreign coun tries and convince them of the necessity of pay ing these debts. Second, to obtain from them the properly authorized bonds to represent these debts. Even after the almost inextricable con fusion that had been created by the last admin istration in the mattter, when a bill was brought in by the ways and means committee to appoint a commission and adjust these debts, the demo crats of both house and senate opposed the proj ect almost to a man.

Th New York Central railroad la making Interesting experlmenta with a method of eo. ordinatlng the railway eervlce with the motor truck, in the Interest of greater economy and efficiency. It ha built a certain type of flat car, upon wnlcn ar fitted steel freight container. Each of these container I th full width of a cr. Th long flat car will carry eight con tainer each having a capacity of 1,600 pounda. Motor trucks, especially constructed, receive the container from the flat car at the city of destination. Tranefer ia effected by cranes, and each truck carrie one container at a time. Empty container are returned to the cara In the earn manner, or, preferably, the contalnera are returned filled with other freight. A these container ar burglar proof, or practically ao. theft hazard la eliminated. Con gestion at terminate ia relieved by the rapid handling direct from flat car to warehouse by motor truck. Fire hazard ia decreased, aa no tramp will climb Inside the locked and airtight steel containers and drop clgarets among the good. Terminal and cartage cost are reduced. Less costly packing may be employed. Box car maintenance is reduced. The railroad makes more money. Wise railroad men have ceaaed to listen to thoae who walled that the gasoline driven ve- ntcie was going. to pauperize the railroads. They have begun to adapt this new factor In trans portation to the steam and electric railway systems. Some railroads are multiplying the light gasoline cars for carrying passengers over their rails, and are cutting down their operating expense in this way. Trolley companies are operating motor puses in conjunction with their lines, instead or using political Dull to urevent fair competition by Independent bus lines. It is inability to accent the new that drives the old Into the discard. Aa Human Beings. frera U DcMr Rmld. . "Clerk on duty, Mr. Smith." "Salesman on duty. Mr. Brown." "Paying teller. Mr. Jones." Such signs are now frequent In hotels, filling stations ana panics. Tney are a recognition that the persons who wait upon us' and do us service, are human beings with names and even handles to them. " The hotel guest Instinctively warms up to the management when the clerk, reading his name upsiae aown on, tne register, asks, "Would you like a room with the bath, Mr. Robinson?" This puts the guest in a mood to say a moment later, "By the way, Mr. Smith, don't trouble to have that large trunk sent up." "Mr. smith," "Mr. Jones," "Mr. Brown," these as forma of address are better than "Here you." , . The Fifth Avenue Coach company, which maintains & great bus line In New York, haa ripped off the caps of Its employes the imper sonal numbers, and will place in neat letters the wearer's name with tha handle prefixed. The passenger's fare will be received by Mr. Frank Sparks, Mr. Gup Halloran, or Mr. Joseph Mel tek, as the case may be. The president of the coach company saya that the change la made because the practice of giving numbers to men had its origin in a period of Intense materialism In industry, which is now seen to be a wrong sort of "Ism." In other words, employers see that it Is not only better for them, but for the publio to dis tinguish each and every one of their employes in the same manner that men are distinguished a opposed to street cars, automobiles, letter files and other object that lack both souls and pride. Owning the Alphabet. From Uw London Morning Pott. Some time ago the Canadian Pacific Railway company issued notices to certain hotels, restaurants, shops, etc., protesting against the unauthorized use of its initials. One Timothy O'Brien, proprietor of the "C. P. R. Barber Shop" in a prairie village, received the warning, and replied as follows: . , Dear Sir I got your notis. ' I don't want no law soot with yure company. I no yure company owns most everything raleroads, steemers,' most of the best land and the time, but I don't know as you own the hole alphabet. The letters on my shop don't stand for yure ralerode, but for sumthin' better. I left a muther In Ireland, she Is dead and gawn, but her memories are dear to me. Her maiden name was Christina Patricia Reardon, and what I want to no is what you are going to do about It? I sup pose yoa won't argue that the balance of my sine what refers to cut rates has got anythink to do with yure ralerodes. There .ain't been no cut rates-round these partss that I nos of. (Sgd.) TIMOTHY O'BRIEN. The company took no further action in this case. Married or Divorced. From tha Womtn Cltiien. As to just what the divorce statistics from the census of 1920 may reveal, no one ventures a statement. In our country during the year 1916, there were 1.040,778 marriages, counter balanced by 112,036 divorces granted for a num ber of reasons, the principal of which are as follows: Per Cent. 11.5 28.3 36.8 3.4 4.7 Unfaithfulness Cruelty Desertion .... . Drunkenness . .13,486 .30,752 .39,990 . 3,652 ..5,146 Neglect to provide From the total number of divorces, 8.9 per cent were granted to women, 31.1 to men. This larger per cent granted to women is due to many cases, the two chief being that divorce no longer socially and religiously makes a woman an outcast, and that the possibility of self-support and support of her children is much easier than in the past. The United States grants more divorces than all of the other nations combined. In some of our states there is one divorce granted to every thirty married. Couldn't Show Loss.
