Flat refimals by railruad executives to confer with the strikers; counter proposals, and general (.idestcp pinjr of the main issue give surface indication of pro longation of the shopmen's strike. However, some other minor points might be cited in support of the thought that each move is bringing matters a little nearer to adjustment. A compromise of some nature must be reached, or one side must be beaten. If the course taken is to lead to the latter end, then it is plain that the Btruggle will be long and maybe bitter. If a settlc on a reasonable basis of give and take is to come, then it will follow the intervention of someone who can bring the groups together. Whether this will be Chairman Hooper of the Labor board, Presi dent Harding, or another is not so much of im portance as that he will serve. Just now it appears that both sides are looking to Washington to show . a way out. The president in his address to the men voiced his views as to the responsibility the strikers have assumed, and he also opened the way to appeal to him direct. This has been done, the men taking the reply f rorn the railroad executives as a pretext, and presenting to the president their version of the situa tion, together with a synopsis of their grievances. If Mr. Harding has in mind using his great influence to effect a settlement, he is now possessed of authen tic expressions from both sides, and indirectly, at least, has peen invited to give the matter attention. What he may do under the law is little. His moral influence is great, but his legal power is no more ef fective than that of the Labor board. Beyond main taining peace, checking violence and giving protec tion to property where the state authorities can not provide it, the president has no authority in the matter. He can not seize the roads, nor can he com pel one side to yield to the other. He can, and probably will, offer them an oppor tunity, as he has to the coal interests, to come to gether for consultation and compromise. Such an invitation from the president would not be ignored, because, as President Lewis of the United Mine Workers has said, the side that would reject the pres ident's request would forfeit all public sympathy and regard. The close of the second week of the shop crafts' strike may not disclose the end, but it does disclose reason for thinking that the end is not very far away. INSPIRING EXAMPLE FOR WORLD. W. Mackenzie King, premier of Canada, is in Washington to attend to some business in which his government and ours are mutually concerned. Chief of his items, it is reported, will be the modernizing of the Rush-Bagot treaty, which has stood for more than 100 years. Often in late days the amity between Canada and the United States has been cited as an example of what is possible. On a boundary line 4,000 miles in length, the longest international di vision on the globe, not a fort or other defense stands, not an armed soldier, or other instrument or agent of war. Civil authority is represented by police, and customs house officials.- And peace prevails. Canadian interests are so nearly like those, of the " United States that on many points rivalry exists, but it is friendly in nature, and not of the sort that en gendenrs heat and conflict. Some momentous ques tions have arisen, affecting the welfare and the friend ship of the two countries, such as the fisheries, the pelagic sealing, the Klondike boundary, and these have always been adjusted by concilation of arbitra tion. The record is one that supports the theory that peace can be maintained, if only the parties to a disr pute seek peace. Whatever Premier King's mission may be, we hope it leads to such understanding as will continue the relations between the countries for another hun dred years as pleasant as they have been during the last century. If "the first hundred years are the hardest," the outcome should be easy. REAL AID FOR THE RUSSIANS. While tha Allied statesmen at The Hague are bandying words with the Russian representatives, and the radical papers are carping at the United States for not "recognizing" the Soviets', the very practical work of relief started long ago by Ameri cans continues. This takes the form of feeding the hungry, and clothing the naked, especially among the children and babies. One of the latest manifesta tions is the opening-of a drive in Boston for a "million cans of milk for Russian babies." This sounds rather bigger than it is. A million cans of milk will not go so very far among all the Russian babies that need food, but it will help some. It is noteworthy, though, because it is a proof of what the good people of this country actually are doing for Russia. Europe is arguing political points, standing for "principles" and "fundamentals," while the food and raiment for the millions of needy come from the United States, the unstinted gift of the "dollar chasers," whose aims never were and maybe never will be understood by the Old Country. OMAHA'S NEW MUNICIPAL COURT. Much is being said and printed about the nomina tion of candidates for governor and United States senator. Yet on the separate nonpolitical ballot, and near the end of that, will appear Tuesday a list of candidates for an office that may be last but cer tainly is not least. That is the list of aspirants for municipal judgeships. A new law is to become effective January 1. It -ipes out the police court and the justice court in Omaha, institutions which have lasted almost since the establishment of the city and county. The duties cf these courts are to be administered hereafter by the municipal court, which is to have five judges in stead of three. This means that the judges of the municipal court will dispose of all of the police court cases hereto fore handled in police court and all of the minor i '- dwl miti notably the collection of bill hereto for tared for by the justice court. Many hundreds of people will come before its bar every year. To many of them the municipal court will be almost their only direct contact with the government under which they live. To a large degree they will Judge their government by the quality of the jutir they receive in this court. They will think well or ill of it in accordance with the wisdom and fairness of its derisions. In IU hands will rest a power for the making of better Americans, renpectful of their coun try because they have reason to respect it. Three present judges of this court "hold over." Two others are to be elected in November from a lilt of four nominated next Tuesday. Time spent In analyzing the qualifications of candidates for these four nominations will be well spent. VOTE FOR. THE CITY CHARTER. All open 'organized effort affecting the vote en the city charter next Tuesday is in favor of the adop. tion of the proposal. If there be any serious or lm- portant opposition, it is not so far publicly manifest. Voters should understand that in adopting the proposal no change is msde in the city charter, other than that it will become a home rule charter, and that the citizens of Omaha will in the future be responsible for their own government. Instead of being compelled to go to the legislature to get per mission to do things, or to forbid the doing of them, the matter will be left to the judgment of Omaha voters. No paragraph or provision in the present charter is to be modified by means of the present election, save that which will establish home rule as an ac complished fact. No argument should be required in support of the proposition. For many years the mat ter has been before the people, and several futile at tempts have been made to accomplish the desire. Now it is possible to put the city where it belongs, in full possession of power to regulate its own affairs, by simply adopting the charter already given it by the legislature. . With home rule prevailing, Omaha will become truly a part of Nebraska, so far as its presence and influence in the legislature is concerned. Instead of much of the time of committees and members being occupied with matters of interest of importance to Omaha alone, these purely local matters will be referred to the voters at home, while the members of the legislature from Douglas county may have their full share in the general business of the state. This is only one of the apparent advantages. If home rule is turned down by the voters now, when it is offered them on such reasonable terms, it will probably be a long time before they get another chance. If you favor giving Omaha control over its own purely domestic affairs, vote for the proposition Tuesday. THE MENACE OF THE MORON. What'll we do with the morons? While this is not likely to become a burning political issue, yet it is one of the questions submitted to candidates by the League of Women Voters in their questionnaire. Since William Allen White announced that the greatest peril of democracy is the moron, this word has been gaining vogue. "Flapper," "cake eater," "dumb bell" and similar expressions are apt soon to be dropped from colloquial use in favor of this nov elty. The word is not slang, but has a respectable Greek parentage signifying "fool." A moron is a person whose mind has not developed beyond that of a child of 12. Lack of balance and inability to re fuse unwise advice or resist immoral example are characteristic of the moron. In physical development and ordinary activities such defectives are not mark edly different from normal persons. They are, how ever, incapable of sustained thought or study and can not stick to their tasks. Under the proper environment morons are not a great menace, at least so long as they do not pro pagate their own weak-witted kind. When condi tions are unfavorable, however, they fall naturally into criminal ways. A good many of the men and women in prison are morons. What to do with this class is not yet a political question, though doubtless it will have to be dealt with before the morons gain the majority and decide to segregate or delimit the fully developed section of society. MOVING THE MAILS BY TRUCK. Postmaster General Work reports to the presi dent that his department is not worrying about a cessation of mail service, just because a strike may tie up all trains. That used to happen. Forty-five years ago a Chicago newspaper created quite a sensation by organizing a handcar service, which carried its issues as far as 200 miles in 48 hours, while all trains were tied up. Now the air mail moves at the rate of more than 100 miles an hour, and carries thou sands of pounds of letters daily. To supplement this the postmaster general reports mobilization of 60,000 motor trucks, ready to move at a signal, and which will keep the mails from piling up at any point. If all the railroads would go out of business at the same time, the emergency would not shut down communi cation by mail in this country, and the 2-cent stamp would continue to carry a letter from one end of the land to the other. We have made some progress in the last fifty years. President Harding's reminder to the shopcrafts that they still owe something to the country in which they live, and are amenable to its laws, is timely. It ought to steady down some of the boys who are bent on starting something. The little saving of $700,000,000 effected in a year, when added to the billion-dollar reduction in the funded debt, makes the average taxpayer feel good, no matter how the democrats regard it. "Barney" Burch ought to turn his team around and start it in the right direction again. The boys are going good, but are headed the wrong way. Federal reports credit employment in this section' with being 90 per cent of normal, which means that everybody not on strike has a job. All the troubles of the railroads today are not due to strikes. A few of them might be attributed to ! somebody's carelessness. Mexico's Red Union of Revolutionary Tenants might secure some members' north of the Rio Grande if it sent out an organizer. Uncle Sam is interested in the railroad strike, at least to the extent of keeping trains moving. "Dud" shells make mighty poor household ornaments. Neutrality and harmony are tranquilizing none.

To the Ed Itor of Tha Omaha, Bee: Something may be rotten In Denmark, but It has nothing on N'abraaka when a aelf-seleotad gathering of bosses met and overruled tha primary election and re-established the hated conven tion elate system a few yeara ago. The selection of candidates was taken from the people and filings of candidates not on their slate nul lified In the name of democratic harmony. It was a "harmony club" with such harmony aa the turkey gets with the axe at Thanksgiving time. Tools In different counties were Instructed how to proceed and the notice to execute non-slate can didates broadcasted over the state. The ones given the strawberry birth mark were Hitchcock, senator, claimed wet: C. Bryan, governor, claimed dry; MeNlchola, lieutenant governor, leading Knight of Colum bus: McDonald, attorney general, both Macs, credited with being ex service men. and Edgar Howard, congress, mascot and bolshevik. All other candidates were blacklisted for defeat to promote harmony. It ia claimed for the favored candidates that they were made unconscious victims, but, like the Irishman Whose lawyer told him they could not put him In Jail, retorted "Be Jabbers I am In Jail." The excuse ia that it was done to make peace between the warring houses of Mullen and Bryan, and between nootcn and cold water.

I am one of the candidates for lieutenant governor asking for the votes of the people. I am slated for slaughter. It is bad political policy to murmur against a party slate, but I prefer to be beaten to smiling at the kick and display a place for a new impact.

Fordney's Battle Flag. From the St. Paul Pioneer Prcai. Chairman J. W. Fordney's purpose in exhibiting a woman's $60 silk nightgown in the house it repre. entailves, when arguing th tariff question, I not entirely clear. II said It cost only $11.40 tn Helglum, where It was made. He msy ha Intended to raise an outcry of public Indlenation against profiteering dry goods stores, which charge such high price for poor people's silk night gowns. Kaclnaw niay be In a rage a hen It hear how It i being robbed and possibly the women of Detroit may be furious lo learn that their nlghlguw.ni have cost them $t.40 more aplec than the manufacturer's price In Helglum. even under the present tariff, but most of th people In oilier states are more Interested In the price of cotton nightgown. A little more light on the cotton nightgown tariff would be apprecl ated, Iml It la difficult to gt any frnm exam inatloii of the Kordney Mcl'umber hill. That measure Is ileiarly drawn, Willi I lie) duties levied partly In dollars and cents per pound, Hccordlng to cost, and partly ad valorem, or on a percentage baaiy, and the various article of cotton clothing are described In so many ways that nobody but Mr. Kordney if a , Avii.pl ..an tall ffnnt Iha taut ... . . n v I A .

To make (he subject still more complicated, the bill has been amended ao many timea since Senator McCumber took charge of it that It I impossible to say what the last word Is on any subject. Returning to the silk nightgowns, It seems from the text of the bill that the duty is Increased from 60 per cent, the present rate, to 60 per cent. That would make a difference of $1.34 on the nightgown that Kord ney displayed to the admiring gate of 434 men and one woman com posing the house of representatives. It Is difficult to see how a change of but $1-34 In the duty on a night gown that sell for $60 Is going to give new life to the starving manu facturers of American silk night gowns.

POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT To the School Taxpayers of Nebraska As a taxpayer you want to know and have a right to demand of a candidate for office wherein his election will be an improvement on the present administration or benefit him as a taxpayer. As a candidate for State Superintendent of Public Instruction and in answer to the above demand, I announce my belief and pledge my support to the following declaration ot principles: First Greater economy in the conduct if the office of State Superintendent of Public Instruction less MILEAGE, more WORK. Second Fewer fads in the elementary schools more inten sive work in the common branches. Third I am unalterably opposed to the present administra tion's policy of extravagant expenditures in school inspec tion and to the useless multiplicity of all phases of school . inspection at the expense of the taxpayers. Fourth I stand for "home rule" in school matters and absolute local control by school boards in the manage ment of their own schools. Fifth I believe that our schools should be controlled by the local taxpayers without the interference of a bureau cratic power at Lincoln dictating how the taxpayer's money is to be spent. Sixth I stand for retrenchment and economy in school ex penditures, elimination of non-essentials, beginning with the overhead, and I stand for non-interference in our high school management by an educational oligarchy. As go the rural and common. schools, so goes the nation. CHARLES W.
