WHAT ALL THE FUSS IS ABOUT.
Did you ever hear of a democratic convention
frantically denouncing the government of the United
States, because the president appoints his cabinet of
ficers, each the head of a business and administrative
division of the government?
Did a group of democrats ever get together and
demand the repeal of the laws that create these de
partments? If the system is good for the United States of
America, why is it such a bad thing for the State of
Nebraska?
The so-called administrative code law did not
create a single office or add a political or other kind
of job to the pay roll of the state. It does not inter
fere with the constitutional function of any of the
ejective officers of the state.
If the code law were repealed, as the democrats
vociferously demand it should be, it will restore the
confusion at the seat of government that prevailed
when John H. Morehead was governor, and which
moved him to publicly state that he was chairman of
so many different boards and commissions he could
not tell the names of all.
Administrative work that is now done in the five
departments of the government, classified and ar
ranged under the code law, will again be distributed
among the various state officials, each of whom has
his work assigned by the constitution. The banking
department, the insurance, the labor, the agricultural
and tha finance department will be disintegrated,
and the several subdivisions of these will again be
administered by boards and commissions, with the
renewal of the confusion, overlapping and interfer
ence of authority, and consequent waste and in
efficiency of the past, repeated and extended because
pf the greater amount of business the state is called
upon to transact.
In 1893 the supreme court of the state, deciding
a most important case, called attention to the fact
that the officers were even then so overburdened
with the work of boards and commissions that they
could not give proper attention to any, and the state's
business suffered.
The Omaha Bee agrees with the democrats of
Douglas and.Lancaster counties, in their evident fore
cast of their state platform, that taxes should be re
duced, and unnecessary jobs abolished. Right there
we part company. This paper does not believe that
a system under which the great business of the United
States has been carried on for almost a century and
a half is harmful for Nebraska.
.THOSE RURAL MAIL CARRIERS.
What has meant more to the improvement of
country life than the rural free delivery system?
Every advance in rural improvement may be said to
have been assisted by this branch of the postofflce
service.
The convention of Nebraska rural mail carriers
was welcomed to Central City, not as a matter of
form, but in appreciation of their function as a link
between city and farm. These men, through storms
and every other untoward circumstance make their
daily round of the countryside with the mail.
They it is who have given the farmer his daily
paper, thus enabling him to keep abreast of the cur
rent affairs of the whole world. The farm wife can
entrust to their delivery her packages of eggs or
other produce. Letters now come and go from re
mote farmsteads with a regularity approaching that
enjoyed by city dwellers.
Many methods of communication boast greater
swiftness than that of these men who drive down the
country roads with their buggies, cars or cycles.
There is the telephone, the telegraph, the radio and
the airplane mail all useful, but none doing more
than complement this faithful rural postal delivery.
Those who live in the country already appreciate
these facts, for from their homes they can watch the
progress of their carrier over rough and often muddy
roads. In the cities those who write to rural friends
or customers seldom give a thought to how that letter
is to reach its destination. The rural carrier knows,
and so do his patrons. It is a splendid feature of
modern life not a luxury, but a necessity.
MEXICO IS COMING BACK.
President Obregon has, it is reported, given his
assent to the terms arranged by Adolpho de laHuerta
with the International Bankers' syndicate for funding
the Mexican debt This is the most hopeful news for
Americans that has come from south of tha Rio
Grande since Obregon was elected president. While
details of the settlement are not yet given out, the
assumption is warranted that this is a preliminary
step to the greater one of making the necessary guar
anties to secure full recognition by the United States
government.
This recognition does not, as many Americans
seem to think, Involve any interference with Mexico's
internal policy. It only asks that property rights se
cured In Mexico by American citizens prior to the
promulgation of the Constitution of 1917 be re
spected. This condition is insisted upon because it
protects many Americans who went to Mexico at the
invitation of Porfirio Diaz, and whose holdings were
threatened with confiscation under the new constitu
tion If Its provisions were made retroactive. Some
big corporations are concerned, but by far the greater
number of Americans interested are small property
holders, who were driven from their limited holdings
by tha brigands who overran Mexico during the ten
years of upheaval
Settlement for property destroyed and lives lost
will t)e eared for under a properly selected and au
t&Ofiftd claims commission, A treaty on these lines
wis submitted to President Obregon by the I'nited
States in May, 1921. Now that the debt is arranged
for, perhaps the reat will follow.
DOUCLAS COUNTY WHEELS INTO LINE.
While the democrats are wildly demanding that
taxes be lowered, the republicans era letting down
the levies. The revenue law nasaed by congress re
duced the taxes for the nation; the state board of
equalisation has reduced the taxes for the state, and
now tht commissioners of Douglas county wheel into
line by announcing the lowest levy save two in the
history of the county.
This is good news for the taxpayers and property
owners, but it will be a bit embarrassing for the faith
ful followers of the Bryan Hitrhcock-Mullrn combina
tion. Thrie hope to divert attention (rout the ridiculous
grouping of the unholy alliance by shouting "Down
with taxation I" Their guns sre spiked in sdvance,
becsuse taxes are going down. In Douglas county
they are deprived of another cry, for the tax rate
h set lower than they ever dreamed of. The demo
crats certainly are out of luck.
GUNMEN A NATIONAL DISGRACE.
If proceedings such as are reported from New
York occurred in an uncivilized region, excuse might
be found for the display of violence. But when an
automobile loaded with desperadoes ran spread death
and danger on a crowded thoroughfare in the largest
city in the world, th situation challenges the atten
tion of all.
Crimes of violence have increased enormously
within the last few years in American cities; none are
so free that they may cite others to the bar of public
opinion, but in Chicago and New York the condition
has come to be a national disgrace in every aspect.
Whatever may be at the root of the matter, one ele
ment is undeniably prominent It is that of what we
euphemistically term "graft," easy money. Murder
is purch:::able, sometimes at figures so ridiculously
low that the facts amaze the thoughtful. But the
murder is done, and the slayer laughs at the law.
In New York rival bands of outlaws and gunmen
pass their own judgment and execute their own de
crees. Human life is insignificant to them. Actual
occurrences transcend anything dreamed of in fic
tion. What sort of government is it that permits
such things to occur?
In the case of Becker, punishment followed with
admirable certainty; but an unescapable inference
attaches to this case. It is that Lieutenant Becker,
"Gyp the Blood," "Lefty Louie," and the others did
not suffer because they slew a gambler, but because
in some way they had transgressed the code that
governs the underworld of Gotham. Such impression
prevails now, because it is unthinkable that the po
lice force of the great metropolis is helpless, that if
it were to exert its power it might not be able to rid
the country of the miscreants who murder as a matter
of business, a side line to bootlegging, gambling and
other crimes against society. A vigorous house
cleaning campaign in New York would encourage all
the world, but it is probably too much to expect while
Tammany rules.
FILLING A CIVIC NEED.
None of the larger and more beautiful parks in
Omaha excels in benefits conferred that small green
spot known as Jefferson square. Its location down
town, set in the heart of a congested district, makes
it like the lungs of the city. This breathing spot per
forms a vital purpose in contributing to the peace,
comfort and health of a more or less homeless class
of men.
These need some place for the wholesome em
ployment of their leisure time, some contact with na
ture, some relief from the grimy surroundings in
which they are caught.
An idea of the service rendered by Jefferson
square is to be had from the official report for July
which showed 2,168 shower baths taken there. This
feature alone would justify the maintenance of this
public institution. And without the provision for re
freshing, cleansing showers the park would not serve
its full purpose. ,
It is to be hoped that Commissioner Hummel has
surrendered his intention to close down this bath
house. Rather, the facilities should be enlarged.
OHIO STANDS BY HARDING.
Only one interpretation can be put on the result
of the primary election in Ohio. Forecasts all an
nounced that it was to turn on the popularity of the
president in his home state. If these were accurate,
then Mr. Harding has received an emphatic endorse
ment from the home folks, for Carmi Thompson was
labeled as the Harding candidate, and he has the ap
proval of the voters.
It will profit nothing to argue that the field of nine
candidates so scattered the opposition that the result
of the voting is not conclusive. Anything might be
deduced as possible were the number of candidates
reduced.' Mr. Thompson has such an impressive vote
as to make plain the attitude of the republicans of
Ohio. Regardless of what may have happened in
Pennsylvania, Indiana or Iowa, the Buckeye repub
licans have left no doubt as to how they stand as
far as Mr. Harding is concerned.
Perfect babies can prove embarrassing, especially
when too many are entered in one contest. For the
matter of that, why have such contests? Isn't every
baby that ever cooed worthy of any prize?
Wonder if there is any connection between the
earthquake that rocked the province of Quebec and
the decision of W. McKenzie King to support
reciprocity.
If hyperbole and unfounded assertions would win,
the democrats would have a walkover, but the voters
are calling for facts this time.
The perennial debate as to which is the weaker,
the National or American league, is on again. Why
not split the pot?

Telephone Morality.
From th Minneapolis Journal.
Tlng-a-llnif noes the bell, and
again the dinner hour Is Interrupted.
Happy Is he these days who can en
Joy the evening repaat without be
ing called by the ubiquitous tele
phone. Common as the telephone Is, Its
call always comes with something of
a surprise. When one is formally
Introduced to a stranger, one ha a
moment of preparation, tlnv: o get
his bearings. For a second c two
one can take stock of himself and
fmmmon his reserves. In times past
the stranger was regarded with sus
picion, until he had proved himself.
Something of this old feeling about
strangers still survives in us. Upon
the first Introduction a wall of re
serve automatically goes up, and It
Is broken only as friendship deepens.
But a telephone call Is always an
uncertainty. .It takes one unawares
nnd with his lines of defense down.
Perhaps this Is one reason hy the
good word "yes" Is so of in dis
torted on the phone Into "yah,"
"yeah," or "urn-hum." The tele
phone surprise puts a. heavy strain
on the good old mother tongue.
Grammarians, however, report that
trie phrase, "this is me," has be
come legitimate telephone usige. If
so,.lt Indicates how this instrument
tends to warp the lines of person
ality Although Us privileges are
often abused by excessive fluency,
telephone technique demands that
one's speech be yea, yea and nay, '
nay. This is the very first principle
of telenhone morality.
The delluate mechanism of the
phone, it is reported, also puts a
strain on one's sense of veracity. A
telephone call may be a beautiful
thing that falls upon the wrong
time, and this Is why it sometimes
makes ancient truth-telling uncouth.
However easy it may seem to make
a skillful retreat from an engagement-
on the , phone, one is- never
quite sure that It has been made
successfully. Often, too, the tele
phone carries its own triangle, when
friend, wife or husDana listens in
over one's shoulder, and makes con
fusion worse confounded by suggest
ing what should be said in the emer
gency. All In all, it must be admitted
that telephone veracity is a new art
hat has not been completely mus
tered. Absolute truth-telling on the
.phone is still, for one reason or an
other, an unripe fruit of righteous
ness. But, after all. one must not
be too severe toward this new art.
For frequently a dash of fiction
Ipnds Interest and color to life.
It still remains true that, if one
has a secret to tell, an apology to
make, an important measure to get
across, these things are negotiated
batter by direct personal approach
than through wires, bells, cases nnd
cups. It is undoubtedly well that no
new way of securing close personal
relations, openly arrived at, has
been found so good as through the
ancient and honorable hand-clasp,
smile and personal meeting.
The ay of the Bicycle.
From the Springfield (111 ) Stat Journal.
The bicycle is returning. It may
never regain all the popularity tt
once enjoyed. As a means if lei
surely quiet traveling it has no,
equal After the speed craze of the
automobile's formative years has
subsided we may expect the bicycle
to return to claim a portion of Its
old place in the human affections.
Touring on wheel was once a very
general sport, indeed, it was the
bicycle that inaugurated the cam;
paign for good roads. The public
highways of the country swarmed
with wheels. Local, state and na
tional organisations of riders, aided
by th manufacturers, wholesalers
and retailers of wheels, set up a
mighty demand for the improvement
of roads. The present day good
roads booster, whether an individual
or an organization, the individual or
the makers of automobiles, may he
inclined to look upon our good roads
as their achievement. They are only
reaping the harvest that the bicycle
sowed many years ego.
It is proper and altogether mtlng
now that the wheel should return
to enjoy some of the benefits of the
concrete highways.
Do Your Part.
From the Oennlton (la ) Herald.
You sometimes wonder, mothers
and wives, why life Isn't Just what
you thought It would be when you

pledged your faith in each other.
What hopes you held for the future
when you started down life's broad
path, side by aide.
Go and stand lor a moment before
your glasa, Just as you are. and be
honest In the analysis of what you
find there. Is your hair dressed as
attractively as It might be? your
dress as fresh and charming as pos
sible? your collar dainty and clean?
"Ah," you reply, "but no one cares
for those things; and besides, I've

I'or (lean Humor,
from ik Cleirtlatid flaia Dealer
The staff of th Lord Jeff, Am
herst college humorous publication
Is to be commended for Its declalon
to exclude questionable Joke and
drawing from its pagea In the
future. This step chould mark the
beginning of a better era In the
annul of rollex publication.
Too many edituriui Man or col-
leva publication and of other look
ing primarily to humor have perial
lied in the art or approaching aa
closely as poaslbl th hound of
decency, too many times tnay have
overstepped thai bounds. Th re
eult ha been that th staff of uch
publications have failed to attract
th beat type of college student, the
type who would use the training In
college journalism a a bail for
Journaltatlo effort after graduation.
It la refreahlng to Know that at
leaat one editorial etaff la of the
opinion that It can produce a
bright, attractive end humorous
publication without suggeative Jokes
and drawing. Many year of ex
perimenting with humor of the lower
kind haa failed to produce a single
American humorist of note. Per
haps the other asnphaiis will bear
more fruit. It will at least do credit
to the college and to the editorial
staff that ha taken the Initiative In
demanding It. "
aaaa a
Anent Apple Pie.
From th Boeton Traveler.
Is the apple pie to disappear from
the breakfast, dinner and supper
table of the Bay state farmer? Per
ish the thought. One lone woman
has ventured'to arise In meeting and
advise her sisters the rural house
wives of the commonwealth to ab
stain henceforth from making apple
pie, because, forsooth, they can use
the time and energy consumed in
ple-maklng for nobler ends. This
most venturesome of women declar
ed she had actually tried it and had
found the thing could be put over.
Now, It Is probably a fact that the
making and eating of apple pie has
been a little bit' overdone. Some
housewives have toiled and slaved
beyond all reason in the, effort to
provide enormous quantities of the
delectable viand to gluttonous man
folks. Men should be trained to
moderation. It will be better for
their digestion, better for the at
mosphere of the home, because it
will enable wives o live longer and
keep their dispositions in better
order.
But M no one hint that apple pie
be stricken from the New England
bill of fare completely. Even re
formers should be reasonable!
But our tip to husbands is not to
neglect the compliments to man's
apple pies. Those will fetch her.

Not every ginger ale

rxj .'
All Clicquot Club Ginger Ale is
made with Jamaica ginger. The
ginger is ground. The flavor is
drawn out by a process of dripping
a liquid through the ginger. Then
this "debased ginger" is thrown
away, though it could be used, by
another method, for making gin

It is not solely from virtuous
motives that this is done. What
would it profit us to save a little gin

itor of The Omaha nee: Referring
to Mr. W. F. Thlehoffe letter, of
even data, would reply that he la not
telling the whole truth relative to
hi "loyal employe."
In the first place there I not a
railroad In the United States that
has abided by the decisions of the
I'nited States labor board as a whole.
If the decision was favorable to the
railroads, fine and dandy; they lived
up to It; but If It was against them
they violated It. In fact, their viola
tions of the labor board decisions
number more than 100.
Before the strike, In order to ob
tain a Job aa a mechanic on the rail
roads, four years' experience had to
be shown, so the railroads are not
figuring, nor have they promised
their "loyal employes" permanent
employment, for the simple reason
that they cannot do the work, but
are simply using this aa propaganda
to mislead the public.
I personally know of an Inspector
hired by the C. B. & Q. who has
not had one single minute's experi
ence In this line (one of the most
Important branches of railroad work,
viz., inspecting cars as to being in
a fit condition to run In a train),
that did not know whether a brake
shoe was put on from the top or
bottom, and It is no wonder tnat
so many wrecks and loss of lives
have occurred since May l, lzz.
when the railroads allow such men
as these to Inspect cars and engines,
and I think that Mr. Thlehoff will
agree with me when I say that the
seniority of such men cuts absolutely
no figure with them, as they will be
ihe first men that the railroads
Ihemaelvea will set rid of when the
ink is settled.

Council Bluff. Aug. S.To th
Editor of Th Omaha Bee: Auto
mobile traffic In Council Bluffs has
become a real problem.
This would support th figures of
tha Council Bluffs Chamber of Com
merce to th effect that Council
Bluffs Is th fastest growing town
In Iowa.
Hut the mayor of Council Bluff
In council meeting Monday night
drove up his ateam roller and parked
It eroaawla on tha highway hta little
city la faat traveling toward metro
pnlltaniam. Ha blocked the parking
ordinance which Is deelgned to regu
late parking of vehicle In th con
gested district of the Bluffs.
Nearly every city In th United
States all of them that are exhibit
lag healthy growth, In fact hav
ordinances which restrict the park
ing of motor cars in the downtown
districts.
If Council Bluffs expect to be a
full-fledged city soon, such legisla
tion Is imperative. The Chamber of
Commerce, business and professional
men, have endorsed the proposed
ordinance.
The mayor has not yet made cler
hla reaaon, for opposing the bill.
Can the chief executive of the "fast
est growing town In Iowa" afford to
halt the progress of hi city In the
face of such conditions? XXX
