WHAT MAY TAKE PLACE.
According to the news from Washington, Presi
dent Harding will be this morning faced with the
craveit crisis of his career. Short of making a declar
ation of war on a foreign nation, no business for
the executive can be more serious than that of taking
over control of one of the great baaic industries. Yet,
unless the contending operators and miners can ap
proach at once the composition of their differences.
the president serms in duty bound to seize the coal
mines and operate them in the name of the people.
No precedent exists for such action, nor is there
any written law that specifically permits it. Once
when Mr. Wilson was president, able lawyers care
fully searched for something that would give the
president authority to exercise such power, but did
not discover any decision that would on its face
justify the action. Yet there is a higher law, the
Kood of all. When, in 1894, Grover Cleveland sent
federal troops to Chicago to put down the lawless
ness incident to the A. R. U. ntrike, he not only acted
without precedent, but in contravention to the federal
statutes relative to sending troops into any state.
Governor Altgeld made vigorous protest against the
"invasion" of Illinois, but the president went through
with his program.
Mr. Harding may find inspiration in the act of
Grover Cleveland. He may seize the mines in the
name of the people, and comply with the constitu
tional provisions regarding due process of law later.
It is very certain he will have popular support
in such a course. Too much of public welfare ia.
jeopardized by the continuance of the strike to longer
allow obstinate groups of men, bent on accomplishing
purposes and aims of their own, to menace the na
tion with a shortage of fuel in face of an approaching
winter.
And while he has his hand in, it may occur to
the president that he will sacrifice little of his popu
larity if Jie gives the railroad situation definite at
tention. In this, as in the mine strike, proposals to
adjust differences by arbitration have been rejected,
and each side is reported to be preparing for a long
struggle. A law intended to 'be of service in settle
ment of such disputes is flouted and set aside. If the
president can assume authority to seize the mines,
he might as well extend that assumption to the rail
roads. What the country must have is service froru mines
i and railroads; in the present emergency, the public
"' rights are paramount. Rights of labor unions and
employers' associations are unquestioned, but they
do not and should not rank all others, to the detri
ment and discomfort of an entire nation.
LICHTNINO.
It would be interesting to know if tha atork barn
in Washington county that was destroyed by light
ning was equipped with lightning rods. Curiosity
also asks if tha children that were stunned by another
wagon
were sheltering themselves under a tree or had pulled
up close to a wire fence.
This is a skeptical age, but science declares that
lightning conductors are of great service in prevent
ing damage to buildings, although there are none
that are absolute safeguards. An example frequently
cited is Washington monument, which by reason of
its height and location would be an excellent target
for lightning, yet in the more than a quarter of a
century aince it has been scientifically fitted with
lightning conductors haa never been damaged.
' Danger from lightning is greater in the open
country than in the cities. Even so the death rate
in the middle west, which ia largely agricultural, ia
small only five out of a million persons a year. It
may seem odd, but this rate of fatality ia larger than
that of other countries that are more thickly popu
lated.
Certain forest trees appear to be struck more
often than others. An old saying is that "sycamores
are more dangerous aa electric magnets than any
other kind of shade tree." Scientific records indicate
that the oak is most frequently struck and the beech
leaat frequently. The heat created by a stream of
lightning converts the sap of a tree into vapor which
often bursts the trunk asunder.
In spite of the comparatively small peril from
lightning, many people hold it in great fear, resorting
to the most trivial precautions wearing rubbers for
insulation, hiding in feather beds, concealing um
brellas in the closet and keeping out of drafts. When
it is considered that what is called a bolt is often a
stream of electricity a mile in length and propor
tionately high in voltage, such efforts appear puny
indeed.

THE BEE'S LETTER BOX
GOOD FOR THE OLD U. S. A.
In June, 1914, the only country on earth whose
credit was worth 100 cents on the dollar was the
United States of America. Its bonds were the only
national securities that could be sold at par. Today,
eight yeara later, the only country on earth whose
credit is worth 100 cents on the dollar is the United
States of America. Three issues of Liberty bonds
sold at 101 Friday, and the fourth was at par.
No need to look far for the reason for this. The
United States is the one country whose people have
not devoted themselves to politics to the exclusion
of all other lines of human endeavor. Whatever it
has. done, it has avoided socialistic experiments, that
tend to substitute "be it enacted" for downright hard
work. Ita prosperity is based on the solid foundation
of constructively employed human effort.
This country has had its politics, in great plenty,
during the last eight years, but through it all has
managed to give its principal attention to other af
fairs. True, also, the war touched us rather lighter
in one way than it did the others, but we did accu
mulate a debt of more than $26,000,000,000 in addi
tion to a matter of twenty-odd billions paid in actual
cash, and in 100-cent dollars, so that in the matter of
money the last eight yeara has been as expensive to
the United States as to any country on earth.
The moral to this, if it has any moral, is that suc
cess, either for a nation or an individual, requires
steady application to some useful pursuit. When the
rest of the world gets ready to work as hard as it
talks, it will share in the prosperity that has come to
the United States.

MAY THE BEST MAN WIN.
The trouble with most smart sayings is that they
v are not so. "The best men will win in the primaries
but we won't know who they are until the votes
are counted." That has a cynically clever sound, but
that does not make it true.
The best men will win in the primaries under cer
tain conditions. It is impossible for any one citizen
or any group to pick them in advance of the election.
The whole public has to lay its heads together before
a 'decision can be reached.
That means, first, that the men and issues must
be taken under careful consideration. Talk is heard
now and then of compelling every citizen to vote.
The folly of such a scheme lies in the absolute im
possibility of forcing people to think. Mere unin
telligent voting offers no safeguard to democracy.
Definition of the qualities thafcgo to make up the
best sort of popular representatives will vary. If it
be granted that the people are normally and men
tally responsible it is difficult to escape a single gen
eral test. The best men, according to this standard,
are those who approximate most closely the com-
' posite opinion of the people whom they would serve.
The ideal candidate is one who personifies the be
liefs, aims and aspirations of a large majority of the
people.
There has not been a great deal of camouflage in
the campaign that is closing. Most of the candidates
are not pretending to be any different from what
they really are. Selection of the best men on every
ticket should be an easy matter if only the people
will give some thought to the records and go out and
. vote their convictions.
THE WALTHER LEAGUE.
Omaha is host to a gathering of serious young
people this week, the convention ef the Walther
league, one of the great organizations of the great
Lutheran church. Its assembling brings delegates
from widely separated parts of the world, and, as
the league makes claim to being international, its
presence is the more important because of this charac
ter. As is reasonable, the deliberations of the dele
gates will be confined to matters especially of interest
to the church, but this will not detract from the
concern the public has in the proceedings of the con
vention. Whatever tends to improve public morals
and to serve the common cause of humanity by im
proving the general tone of life is of benefit and
consequently of interest to all. In this regard the
young people who are now considering the affairs
of their organization, as well as its aims and plans
for making the world a better place in which to live,
are the more welcome. They will find Omaha a good
place to meet in, where Christian homes will extend
bountiful hospitality, and where everybody will be
ready to extend to them any courtesy or help they
may need. And when they go back to their own
homes, after a conference of helpfulness, we trust
they will have no cause to carry with them any but
the kindliest recollections and inspiring impressions
of the city whose welcome and honored guests they
are.
INTERFERING WITH BRITISH CLIMATE.
England fears a repetition of last year's drouth.
While, unlike most of the recent misfortunes that
have beset Europe, this is not blamed on the failure
of the United States to join the league of nations,
yet the excessive heat that threatens the crops ia
laid at the door of America.
John Harrison, a British scientist, charges that
the construction of the causeway across the Florida
keys in order to connect Key West with the mainland
has diverted the gulf stream and thus changed the
British climate.
He explains that the center of the northern branch
The War Finance corporation has approved loans
amounting to $356,000,000 for the aid of the agricul
tural industry. Of this sum $65,000,000 went
direct to co-operative institutions and $9,000,000 tn
exporters. Nebraska has obtained more than $12,-
000,000. Congress did well to extend the life of this
loan institution another year.
Reflections on Jackie's Million
From the Portland Oragonlan.

the money in the world. He could

Croesus of the films, who might be
catching his first bullhead about

of the merely rich.
It's a way we have of rewarding
tnose who please us a way that
must cause the old troubadours, the
Jesters, the strolling players of
medieval times to toss in their
musty slumber. Jackie Coogan, if
you please, is symptomatic of our
national extravagance. For It is
alike absurd and inequitable that
such a thing should be, as it is in
the instance of each film hero or
heroine who has dipped so deeply
into the public pocket that their in
comes are fabulous. Jackie Coogan,
to a certainty, never could earn, in
the strictest sense of the verb, that

of Methuselah. Nor could the rest
of them, those older companions of

Something is wrong with the rate
of recompense something that per
mits a toll capable of producing: 'such
salaries. Something is definitely and
undeniably wrong when, at the same
time, the average endowment of
economic strife and quibbling is up
on us. There could be no caviling,
no complaint, at rewards within rea
son, nor does any one particularly
begrudge Jackie Coogan his million.
There is a crumb of comfort in the
thought that he has it, rather than
that it had further enriched the pro
moters. But even in a world that is
free and easy and willing to pay lor
its pleasures the service and its
recompense seem vastly at variance,

Grand Island Independent.
A. F. Buechlcr: The agricultural
bloc haa certainly been of immense
benefit to the agricultural regions
and particularly to the farmers of
Kansas. Nebraska and the entire
central west. As a defensive agen
cy in legislation it is absolutely Jus
tlflable and ought to be a permanent
Institution. If an agricultural bloc
becomes too aggressive and attempts
legislation patently of a sninsn na
ture, thus partaking of "class legis
lation." it cannot, ot course, ne de
fended, any more than can the many
other "blocs" in congress; but the
record of the agricultural bloc, In
this instance, Is such that, it cannot
be Indicted with doing more tnan

nature that its welfare involves the

M. A. Brown: The farm bloc has

the greatest influence ever felt in
congress for legislation beneficial to
agricultural interests .and Justified
by long neglect. It can still be a
benefit and there is much more that
needs to be done. But to justify its
existence, the farm bloc must be a
"bloc" unto itself; in other words,
not a trading bloc, accomplishing Its
ends by trading with other blocs.
Legislation by means of such com
binations would be as reprehenRlhle
as legislation directly in behalf of

POLITICAL imVEBTlSBMENT
Agriculture in western Europe is rapidly being

Jealousy, greed and selfish power still assert their
right to rule and pestilence, poverty and death are

Republicans In Their Sargasso Sea,
From the New Republic.
The approach of the fall elections,
which should be a signal for closing
up party ranks into fighting forma
tion, finds increasing chaos in the
'republican ' camp and deepening
gloom among its leaders. Despite
the effort to conceal it, the breach
between the president and congress
!s widening. Mr. Harding has had
to give way on the ship subsidy bill
and is deadlocked on the bonus. He
can get nothing done without mak
ing it a party measure and summon
ing to his aid all the shibboleths of
group loyalty. He is like a physician
who administers his strongest medi
cines early in the course of a dis
ease; when the crisis comes he will
find himself empty-handed. The
loss of control jtoward which he is
drifting rapidly may prove as com
plete as Mr. Wilson's; and will be as
serious in its consequences, since the
thwarted weak man always resorts
to violent remedies tO' get his own
way.
Of the three chief measures on the
administration program only the tar
iff seems sure of fairly solid repub
lican support. The other two are in
serious danger, and that danger will
be Increased if the members of con
gress make any real attempt during
the next two weeks to learn and to
be guided by the wishes of their constituents.
Towns Off the Highways.
From the Kansas City Star.
Anyone familiar with the eastern
automobile routes knows what a
nuisance such a highway may be to
a small town. As traffic develops
there is a constant tream of trucks
and cars passing through. These do
the town no good. It would be bet
ter for the local residents to have
the main road a few miles away,
connected by a spur, so that only
traffic Intended for any special town
should reach it.
The Missouri highway commission
has taken these facts into account in
laying out such a main line as the
one between Kansas City and St.
Louis. The road is easily accessible
to all the centers of population along
the way and yet handles the through
traffic so as not to- interfere with
local traffic or to create confusion
or increase the danger of accident

Your Husband -
Perhaps he earns less than some
other husbands whose wives are
your friends. That need not trouble
you, if only you and he plan wisely
together. Men who once earned
small salaries are now in positions
of financial independence and
power.
What you deposit in bank and keep
there earning interest means more
for the future than what your
husband earns.

Do you know '
One cause of increase in taxes5-: J

and records destroyed by the fire.
Cost of restoring records, Register of Deeds, $110,923.41
Cost of restoring records, County Treasury, 19,817.46
Cost of restoring records, County Clerk's office. .None
Total cost in 1920 and 1921 of restoring court house

Proper precautions would have prevented the riot.
If the records had been put in the vaults, they would
have been saved.
