There is talk in Washington of the necessity for applying cloture to the coniideration of the tariff bill. Soon there will be talk in Washington and elsewhere of "gajr rule," of "shutting off debate," of "refusing to let the opposition have a chance." Let us see. Cloture, in effect, means the moving of the previous question. It means the closing of debate at a certain time and coming to a vote on the question. Cloture does shut off -debate. It ends discussion. But discussion, carried on endlessly and for no other purpose than to delay, prevents action. Cloture may be abused; It may be applied so early in the discus sion that it prevents fair consideration. Debate not only may be abused, but is and has been abused; under the pretense of debate, senators at Washing ton have made speeches hours long, have read into the record documents covering page after page 1 1 fine print, have talked not to influence the minds of other senators by legitimate argument but have "talked against time" to wear out the opposition in a contest of endurance. That is the situation at Washington. Certain long winded senators boast of their ability to talk things "to death," to filibuster. By that means a small minority may defeat action by the majority. In some cases, one senator has defeated the will of all the others. There is no danger of abusing the rule in the .-ase of the pending tariff bill. Already it has been ilebnted for days and days. There is danger of paralysis of the legislative machinery if there is no limit on debate. FILIPINO INDEPENDENCE. What about the Philippines? A parliamentary mission seeking independence for the islands is now in the United States. The anwser of President Hard ing, that he could not urge congress to grant autonomy at this time, will probably meet the pres ent need, but sooner or later the United States will have to make a permanent decision. As a rule nations do not give up territory that they once have annexed. In spite of any pretension to the contrary, self-sacrifice is not one of the characteristics of states. Assume for the moment that poession of the Philippines meant the military safety vr the commercial advantage of American interests. Would we still maintain that the only test for independence was. whether the inhabitants were fitted to govern themselves! Unquestionably there are peoples in the corners of Europe who are enjoying or suffering from self-determination granted them after the war that are less civilized than the majority of the Filipinos. It is difficult to see just what the people of the Philippines would gain were the administration of their affairs turned over to native, politicians.. The human heart, however, always longs to be free, even though the price exceed the real value obtained. The desire ,for Philippine independence may be based more on sentiment than on logic, but for all that it must be seriously considered. FRQM A BYGONE BUSINESS ERA. "William Rockefeller, the brother of John D. Rockefeller, was not only an energetic and intelli gent business man, he was a man whom people liked," Ida Tarbell once wrote. "He was open hearted, jolly, a good story teller, a man who knew and liked a good horse not too pious, as some of John's business associates thought him, not a man to suspect or fear, as many a man did John." Even so, the public impression of this financial figure is one of a silent, retiring man, hardly more than a shadow for his brother. This was heightened by his reticence before a congressional investigating committee. His death alone brings him back to mind. v No need to attempt to gloss over the process by which his and other fortunes were piled up. If there is any moral to be found, let it be the closing words of Miss Tarbell's "History of the Standard Oil Com pany:" "As for the ethical side, there is no cure but in an increasing scorn of unfair play an in creasing sense that a thing won by the breaking of the rules of the game is not worth the winning. When the business man who fights to secure special privileges, to crowd his competitor off the track by other than fair competitive methods, receives the same disdainful ostracism by his fellows that a lawyer or doctor who is "unprofessional," the ath lete who abuses the rules, receives, we shall have gone a long way toward making commerce a fit pur suit for our young men." ' THE VAMPIRE OF THE FIELDS. Nebraska has declared war on the barberry. v. On the first of next month, twenty-eight' men from the University of Nebraska, trained in botany, will go forth in united attack on the little bush to which is attributed a deadly grain, rust. Thirty thousand dollars has been allotted to Ne braska for the war to the death on this damaging shrub, and these trained botanists will make a farm-to-farm canvass as a part of the eradication cam paign. The barberry bush is an innocent looking little shrub which grows without nurturing and spreads without incentive. When in full foliage, it is beauti ful, but like the notorious vampire of the human race, it carries ruin in its train. The barberry is a European shrub with racemes of yellow flowers and elongated bright red berries. Time was when it was growing wild in America, it was looked upon as a thing of great beauty, even mentioned in Longfellow's masterpiece, "Hiawatha r Where the tangled barberry bushes. Hang their tufts of crimson berries. More recently it sometimes has been cultivated for ornamental hedges. Its oblong and acid berries hare been much used for preserves and pickles, but modern botanUt have discovered that the aeceo form of deadly wheat runt develop on this cam barberry bush. "Every barberry buah is a iieurce of stem rust infection and nhoulj be eradicated," la the battle cry of the phalanx of twenty-eight university cruaadera who take the field in Nebraska July 1. WISDOM GETS AN INNING. Tublic men from at leant five foreign countries will come to America next month, not on any diplo matic miwion, but for an exchange of information and opinion with a group of 300 American public- iU, diplomats, army and navy officers, college presi dent and professors. This is the second annual meeting of the Institute of Politics held at Williams college. Bernard M. Iinruch is again proving the funds to meet its expenses. It is not too much to refer to this as a congress of thinkers. Yet since no vote is to be taken, it is more like a school, with men already illustrious in public life as its students. The problems of Central America, Russia, China, Japan, Canada, and all the different parts of Europe will be threshed out in lectures and in round table discussion. The rehabilitation of Europe, the prob lem of the interallied debts, of international newi and communications and of international law will be discussed by men who are experts in their field. The scholarly and philosophical approach to these subjects should be of vast utility. Political leaders, attempting to adjust tangled world affairs on a basis of expediency, have made little headway. To the extent that the Institute of Politics succeeds in reaching and informing public opinion it will make possible the application of the rule of reason to af fairs that now areonly muddled.. , GOOD ROADS NOT A MODERN FAD. Road building is not a modern art. In fact, good roads were one of the secrets of the strength' of ancient nations. Traces of old Roman highways are to be found in England today. Herodotus tells of an Egyptian king who employed 100,000 men for 10 years in building a road across the sands for the transportation of pyramid materials. It was built of massive stone blocks, and today part of such an ancient pike may be seen in Egypt. Splendid roads radiated out of ancient Babylon; they are said to have been paved with brick. Nebu chadnezzar used asphalt as a filler for these brick pavements. Both the Romans and Egyptians used a mineral cement. The Incas, who established a magnificent system' of roads in Peru and Ecuador, used asphalt. ' " , The needs of transportation have, changed, especially since the advent of the automobile, but the materials are much the same. If anything, modern man has placed more reliance in dirt roads than did his predecessors. One reads that construction of federal aid high ways in 1921 was more than 12,000 miles, a total equal to the program of the four preceding years, and is inclined to marvel at the progress toward more efficiency and economy in travel. But when one considers that as early as 44 B. C. the Romans were laying brick thoroughfares in Britain, some how the edge of pride is dulled. EARNINGS OF COLLEGE GRADUATES. Ten years after graduation from Princeton uni versity, members of the 1912 class, according to a questionnaire, have an average income of $6,750 a year. The largest income reported was $50,000, by a manufacturer, and the lowest was a teacher's, $3,525. The New York World draws from this excellent financial showing the conclusion that a Princeton education is a direct route to competence, remark ing also, "This is well above the average income re ported for income taxation and represents a superior earning capacity in college men 32 years of age." For all that, the thought will not down that for the most part these graduates had considerable capi tal or other backing when they left school. A mone tary test can not b,e applied fairly to college educa tion. If more of them had gone into teaching or preaching instead of business or clipping coupons they might have been just as useful to the world, worked just as hard and received a sight less pe cuniary return.

Marie Weckea: Nationalization of the coal mines inunt be the eventual uriHwor to the deadly conflict that ferns to te inevitable netween Htiirvlng minora and greedy owners. If eventually, why not now? True. the operators are entitled to a fair return'upon the capital actually In vested, compensation for legitimate financial rink and a fair profit. The miners, on the other hand, are en titled to a living wage, proper liv ing condition and reasonable pro tection from dangers In their occu- DRtinn. We. the canHumer. are en titled to sufficient coal, mined and delivered at the loweut cost con sistent with the rights of thoae who mine and deliver It. There should be a commission ap pointed, charged with the duty of securing the necessary information to bring about a standardization of the mines as to productive capacity. The closing down of mines jthat fall below the standard, the standardiza tion of the cost of living for mine workers and proper living conditions for them, the standardization of overhead costs of producing and de livering coal to the consumer with a fair percentage of profit upon that cost price and for legislation that will make possible a seasonal grad ing of freight rates that will do away with irregular production, avoid car shortages and make for a more regular employment. WATER ON THE LAND. The energetic way in which the project for supplemental irrigation is being pushed by citizens of Phelps, Kearney and Adams counties begins to show results. The joint resolution introduced by Senator Norris and Representative Andrews can hardly be rejected. The Department of the Interior could fulfill the resolution's request for an examina tion of the feasibility of the plan within a short time. A reserve of moisture such as this project seeks would be vastly beneficial to- a large district south of the Platte. So long as there is water in the river it should be used to insure against any approach of drouth conditions. This is something the' whole state is interested in, and supporting. A town has been found where no one will run for office and which is without a mayor, constable or any other official. But it isn't in Nebraska it's Mon roe Falls, O. In the Buckeye state, you know, nothing less than the presidency has much attraction. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon is going to find himself very popular if he stands firm against the efforts of politicians to disrupt his force by handing out jobs to a lot of men who can't make a living in civilian life. Gen. H. M. Lord Jias been appointed director of the budget to succeed General Dawes. No doubt the new official is a very good one, but it is a pity that men like Dawes can't ba kept long in the public service. The invention of the airplane was no doubt a great achievement, but it is responsible for the addi tion of $6,337,000 to the navy appropriation bill for the construction of aircraft. AH that Yapping is about over. Prince Hirohito has jotted his John Henry to the Yap treaty. Now all it needs is a good Yankee .signature at Washington. Texas college' professors are said to have asked for a law regulating kissing. Surely something might be left to file taste of the persons concerned. Now Joseph Walker has come out for senator on a dry and progressive platform in Massachusetts, but he will have some difficulty dislodging Lodge. Sweden is to vote August 27 on prohibition. How ever, the limit of alcoholic content is considerably higher than that of Mr. Volstead, 2.25 per cent. Not much is heard of the Maine and Minnesota elections, where the regular republican candidates were victorious in the primary elections. Central City Republican. Robert Rice: I am not an advo cate of government ownership or even government operation under normal conditions, but believe In this emergency the government should operate the coal mines for protection of the public. LlnKea with this, legislation should be en acted fixing the price, blocking a bold attempt to rob the consumer. Tckamah -Jlcralcl. .T. R. Sutherland: We believe that' Individuals should develop and operate all public utilities wnere it Is practical. It may be necessary in some instances for the govern ment to take charge to protect the riehts of the public. "No organiza tions of working men or capitalists Should be permitted to block the wheels of commerce to tne detri ment of the people.

Neither miners nor operators could k refuse an invitation Dy tne presiueni to a conference and from that con ference could come an agreement to vfara nnt nnop.nt. settlement of differences by arbitration. Lindsay Post. H. J. Whitacre: Eventually the fi-overnment must act to effect a set tlement of the coal strike. Early action would prevent much material ana human loss, ranapa xne oesi that may be hoped for the present is merely a compromise of differ ences, but constantly recurring friction between miners and opera tors will undoubtedly force govern ment control or operation of mines in time. Greeley Citizen. The government should take a hand in the coal strike in view of the past difficulties between the op erators and miners. It seems that the only way to safeguard the In terests of the public is through gov ernment ownership. Pender Republic. E. Xj. Barker: I believe that un less an -early agreement is reached between the mine owners and min ers. It would be prudent for the gov ernment to nlaoR the mines under government control until satisfactory terms for operation can . De agreea upon. . Albion News. Qlenn Cramer: The coal strike has gone far enough and the con tinued refusal of the immediate parties to the strike to arbitrate jus tifies the government in taking ac tion without delay. When a strike reaches the point where it affects adversely the public Interest, the government should move to locate the responsible, parties and Institute criminal proceedings. If th present laws are not sufficient to protect the public against the strike evil, the congress should get busy In that di rection. The Kansas industrial court is a big step In the right di rection. Osceola Record. Robert G. Douglas: I believe it to be the privilege and duty ot the government to protect the public against results of strikes, walkouts and closed shops, very especially re garding coal production. As a last resort only, the government should not hesitate to use the military arm of government to Insure that protection. Hartington Herald. P. D. Stone; Yes. we believe the government should act in the coal strike and act Immediately and vig orously. When men are shot down in cold blood, as is reported that they were at the mines, it is surely time for the government to step In. Violence, lawlessness and murder cannot be tolerated under the guise of labor troubles. Went Point Rrpnblican. As long as no peaceful settlement can b made between the operators and tliB mlnera, an long will the public be made th gmtt and In the end nay the lulls for thn entire auur ret.

For both, a big doae .f Amerlcanlam will go n long ways toward curing tneir ilia. Tin- Wymorean. J. M. liurnliam: The government should take posaeanloit of every coal mine In the I'nlted Htntea, paying nperutora on a valuation nxed by ex pi-ria. ray the miners a fair wage hnaed on living coat a and operate the -mlnea at a aimill margin of profit. The coal ahould be supplied to every claaa of consumer at as near actual cost aa potwible. Kearney Hob. M. A. Hrown: The government should adopt auch temporary meas ures aa are possible to end ttie coal strike. Congress should adopt such measures aa win nrm tne govern ment with tl authority. The gov ernment must maintain lta suprem acy in all matters prejudicial to nub lie interest and especially to stamp out civil war and restore Individual sovereignty of the working man In tne unions or out of them. Rlalr Pilot. s . Don C. VandeuHcn: The people are the sufferers wjien mine owner and miners dleugree and refuse to mine the coal, an absolute necessity In our present state of civilization If We are supine and helpless wb deserve to be despoiled and robbed, surely mine owner or miner carftt not. It is the duty of the elected ofliclals of the governent to protect we, the people, for we have put the reins In their hands. Fillmore Chronicle. Lou W. Frazler: Plainly it Is high time decisive steps were taken to end the coal strike, and govern ment Intervention should be em ployed unless the situation clears up quickly. Tho wholesale murder of nonunion miners at Herrin, III., the past week Is a blot ffn civilization and calls for prompt and drastic ac tion regardless of whom or what suffers as a result. Coal operators, miners, Jobbers and retailers should all be put on the fire and made to view the situation from the stand point of the public. Anarchists and assassins must not be allowed to run .amuck. A few machine guns ready for action would probably get better temporary results than a gov ernmental Investigation. SPICKS OP LIFE.

Ho it ahould be, let Ireland be one coun try, one government, by one people. abaoiiitely, and let that be Its own. While It Is painful and sad to read these young men performed such unlawful and criminal acts. Yet they express the very embodiment of self-sncrlfielng of their life and all not for themselves or their fu tore welfare, but to resent the wrong that was criminally Imposed by such cruel Knglliih domlnancy with military and barbaric treat ment on their country and their neighbor. It was simply their life for their country and Its Just rights. W. J. M'CRANN. Speaking of Spirits. Omaha. June 23. To the Editor of The Bee: If true spiritualism doe not do what Christ teaches, then I would like to know which church or religion does. Mr. Templln is sadly mistaken If he thinks Raymond, by Sir Oliver Lodge, is the bible of any splritunlist. But I will try and convince him by either the Dun.il or the King James translation, which he will find nearly alike. This is from the James translation Now, If you turn to First Corinthians 12 you will find out all about spirit ual gifts and then you don't need to ask where does the benefit come in. But I suppose, if there are evil spirits, as you sny, there ought also to be a few good ,mes. . If Christ was nBt a medium, or tt spiritualist, I wish you would tell me what He is or was at that time. First John 4:1-3: (1) Beloved, be lieve jot every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God; be cause many false prophets are gone out into the world. (2) Hereby know ye the spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Const is come In the flesh Is of God. (3) And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God. And this is that spirit of anti-Christ whereof ye have heard that it should come, and even now already is it In the world. James 2:26: The body without the spirit is dead. Hebrews 1:14: Ministering spirits. reads aa follows: Are not all min istering spirits sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of sal vation? ' These references are taken from the "spiritualists' bible,'! the King James translation. W. E. ZVELLERN. More About Spiritualism. Burwell, Neb., June 21. To the Editor of The Bee: I am much in terested In an article in The Bee (June 20) on "A Spiritualist Speaks." and I wish to congratulate you for the remark you made "Common sense is not yet ready to accept spiritualism." I am enclosing some Bible tracts on this subject that will help you in your reply to his statements: Spiritism is a subject of proph ecy," says tins writer. "The Bible says: 'Now the Spirit expressly de clares that in later times some will fall away from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and the teachings of demons; through the hypocrisy of men who teach falsely. And we are advised that if we 'warn the brethren of these dangers,' we shall 'be good and faithful servants S5R Iff R.EAD B IT'S MADE WITH MILK LET THE-QUAKER BE YOUR BAKER NOTICE!

To the Editor of The Bee: A telegraph Item in The Bee announces the resignation of "the entire medicaj staff" of the Hutton settlement, an orphanage near Spokane, Wash., because Christian Science treatment was be ing given there. The "medjeal staff" of the Hut ton settlement consists of whomso ever may be called there by those In charge of that institution. The founder of the institution provided that children placed there should have whatever healing treatment the child or its relatives or guard ians might choose, and that, re ligiously, the orphanage should be strictly nonsectarian. At he time the above report was circulated the orphanage was car ing for 75 children, of whom but two were interested In Christian Science, and these two had never been ill there. When Christian Science treatment had been given ror tnose aeslrlng it the work was done Independently of what medical physicians were doing for those se lecting that form of treatment. Christian Scientists were not inter fering with the medical practition ers. Mr. Hutton has announced that other medical physicians will be caned in lieu of those who decline to serve. -In observing the principle ot PIANO U TUNED AND REPAIRED -All Work Guaranteed A.
