will disappoint xtrmlt on either aide, but it will
command him to the great maai of the American peo
ple, who are coming to understand him aa a great
exponent of government by law, the preiident of the
whole people, and not the champion or representative
of any faction, no matter how powerful it may be in
any of Hi attributes.
Deprecating the lawlessness that haa appeared In
several parte of the country, the president firmly
states hia intention to use all the power in his control
to defeat conspiraciea and check interference with
legitimate business. Hia impartiality in thia ia noted
in this sentence:
Hurely th threatening conditions must lmrena
the romjrewi and th country, that no body of
men, whether limited In numlier and rnaponallile
fur rnllwuy nmniiKement, ut powerful In numhera
and coniitltutltiK the neceaxiiry forces In rnllroad
operation, shall he iermllted to choose a course
whlrh so Imperils public welfare.
Kqually the president deplores what he terme
"warfare on the uniona of labor." An examination
into industrial conditions in the whole nation is pro
posed, that a solution for the coal troublea may be
found, and the industry placed on a sounder basis.
Recommendation for amendment of the Esch-Cum-mins
act, to make decision of the Labor board en
forcible, is also contained in the message.
The president has undertaken to look for remed
ial, not mere palliative, action by congress. In this,
as in hia course so far, he will be supported by the
mass of the public. The crisis is and has been acute,
and the deliberate action of the president is the as
surance that his determination to preserve govern
ment under the law will not waver. Congress should
not delay to do what ia needed to strengthen the
president in hia attitude, to the end that disorder
may be repressed and greater trouble be prevented.
A calm, considerate man, patiently seeking the
right way out of a mess of trouble, is a good man
to have in the White House at any time.
CANCELLATION AND REPARATION.
A Paris dispatch contains this remarkable bit of
information:
The belief persists In official and reparations
quarters that If the present crisis can be bridged
until the end of the year, the forthcoming Ameri
ca elections may brlnir a change of heart regard
ing: the attitude of the t'nited States towards its
Kuropean debtors, and thus make possible some
cancellation of debts and thereby favorably affect
the reparations problem.
Americans will wonder how they get that way.
The reparation question is one thing, the cancellation
of war debta quite another. When the agenda for
the Genoa conference was being prepared, France
made it a condition precedent to Russian participa
tion that the soviet government recognize the ex
ternal debt of the empire. In all conferences that
have dealt with the reparations, France has stood
immovable for the uttermost franc of her claims.
Conceding the justice of this, the further conces
sion must be made of the justice of the United States
in expecting payment for money loaned the Allies.
Examination of the proposed connection of the two
leads to the conclusion, almost inescapable, that the
plan is to shift to the United States payment of the
reparations demanded of Germany to the extent that
such forgiveness of debt may offset the claims'now
made against the Germans.
Americans will find it hard to reconcile the pro
posal with their sense of right. Why the coming
election should have any effect on the situation is
not clear. The Christmas spirit that prevails in this
land during the holiday season might be invoked in
the premises, but the political situation will scarcely
offer more than may now exist to support the hope
that the United States will permit any considerable
part of eleven billion dollars now due and owing
from Europe on account of the war.
IN OMAHA'S POLICE COURT.
Friction between the police department and the
police judge in Omaha is not a new thing, but that is
no reason why it should be allowed to interfere with
the dispatch cf buiinesa and the administration of
justice. A condition has now developed that demands
speedy adjustment.
The superintendent of police may have authority
to designate before which of the two judges cases ar
to he presented, aaJ perhap feela himself warranted
in Issuing the directions he has given to the police
force.
in the ether hand, the police judge la clothe! by
law with discretionary power in the wsttr i f holding

A NEW CODE FOR INDUSTRY.
The liberal sentiment of the world looks forward
to a day when there ahal be no war, Hut before in
ternational peace ran be guaranteed, domestic peace
must first be secured. Of what avail, it may be asked,
is it to speak of harmonious relations between strsn
gers when neighbors ran not agree?
Justice between men must precede the reign of
law between nations. Industrial warfare must be
avoided, if possible, for the sake of democracy, civ
Miration and progress. In order to do this, the
wrong and misunderstandings out of which grow
bate and suspicion must be cleared away.
It ia to thia end that tha platform adopted at tha
republican state convention In Lincoln contalna the
following plank:
We recommend the enactment of national legis
lation designed to obviate the recurrence of such
disastrous Industrial warfare to which the country
la now subjected, rare being taken to do full jus
tice to the gonerul public, employera and em.
ploye.
No doubt there are those who will consider such
project visionary, and others who will rail at it for
various reasons. The one big fact, however, ia that
no one enjoys a strike, and that no greater reform
could be sought in America than to substitute settle
ment by reason for the wasteful process of settle-,
merit by force, starvation and the prostration that re
sult from cessation of production.
In all good faith the republican party of Ne
braska recommends that the public and the men
elected to govern this country turn their minds to
the subject of industrial peace and justice. The
problem attacked is immense. It might entail not
only an examination of wages, living costs and labor
conditions, hut also atudy of the profits and methods
of the industrial operators themselves. If this repub
lican recommendation will set people thinking on
this subject, not in hate or fear or selfishly, but in a
spirit of aweet reason, great things may be hoped for.
LET THEM STICK TO FACTS.
Our democratic brethren had a great time de
nouncing the republican revenue law, passed by con
gress last year a a substitute for the one enacted by
the democrat during the war. Especially do they
charge that "if there ha been any decrease in taxes
paid, it has been only the rich who noticed it."
If that la true, what about the 2,600,000 heads of
families, each of whom benefited at least to the ex
tent of a f 20-bill by the increase of exemption on
the income tax? Is it possible that none of' these
were helped by the advance in the limit from $2,000
to $2,500, and by the increased allowance for chil
dren, so that a father of five must have an income
of $1,000 or over before he pays any tax at all?
Maybe the democrats can win by persistently mis
representing the facta in the case, but it is fair to
presume that most of the voters will wink their other
eye when told that the revenue law passed by the
congress in 1921 aids only the rich. The big reduc
tion was made in the schedule of the poor.
CHINA'S GLOOMY OUTLOOK.
If it be true, that "if always darkest just before
dawn," there is hope for China. Otherwise, the em
pire is in a sad state, A Lutheran missionary, at
tending a conference in Omaha, tells us of the great
undeveloped resources of the country, of the pro
American feeling there, and of the need of capital
for enterprise that must save the Chinese.
At the same time, the telegraph tell us that the
nation is on the verge of ruin; the government i
penniless, the cabinet officers are refusing to take up
their duties, the president is at his wits end, and the
militarists are ready to resume, the civil war. Sun
Yal Sen, professed patriot, deposed president of Can
ton, and practically a fugitive, asks that he be made
president, declining to accept the vice presidency, and
Li Yuan Charg, legitimate president, weakly pleads
and pleads in vain for the help he must have if his
revived parliament is not to be the last as well as
the first of the Chinese republic.
The situation is intricate, not entirely devoid of
interest to the student, but utterly without encour
agement to the humanitarian. Until the tuchun, or
military governor, system can be done away with,
little will bo accomplished for the advancement of
China along modern lines. So long as these leaders
are in a position where a group can always set down
an individual, and where the combinations are always
shifting, the changes coming swiftly and unexpect
edly, a central government can not prosper.
American interest in China is keen and unselfish,
but just where our government can help in the pres
ent situation is not plain. We may object to Japanese
interference, allowing the Chinese to struggle on to
a solution of their affairs, but beyond this and short
of a protectorate, hands off is our only recourse.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE LAW?
Certain events of recent vintage may account for
the lack of reverence for the law that is developing
in this country. The governor of Indiana asks the
authorities in one county to stop a proposed prize
fight. "The governor will have to stop it himself, if
he wants it stopped," retorts the prosecuting attor
ney. "It's none of my business, and I'm going to sit
tight in the boat."
A far more serious situation is that in Illinois,
where a fund is being raised to secure the prosecution
of the men guilty in the Herrin slaughter. The at
torney general of the state says he will move if "re
quested," but it is not his affair.
When the attorneys elected to look after public
business, which includes the prosecution of crime, as
sume such an attitude of indifference, should we won
der at the action of men why defy the law?
What difference does it make which side won the
miners' strike? Roth pestered the country to dis
traction, but if they will only dig and deliver coal,
much wtll be forgiven them.
Again th republicans ef Nebraska have failed
to picas the democrats in adopting a platform. Well,
e will have t worry along somehow without th
epprovjl ef th opposition.

A friend of mine ha recently be
come a ort of stationery engineer-
that I, h makes Inveatlgatlnn of
office stationery requirement and
tries to show firms how I hey may
save money by having fewer and
cheaper printed forms. Me has been
astonished at the amount of waste
on this one Item of office stationery
Moat concerns, he any, buy
needlessly expensive grade ot paper
for forma thnt nr used only once
and then filed away after a week or
two. probably never to be looked at
ngnm. Deportments that never send
long letters use full-sized sheet of
paper twice as large na required.
In a deportment that never sends
out bills for more thnn $10(1, the
dollar column on the billheads was
wide enough to write aeven figures.
And the form was Invariably printed
in two colors simply becaune It hap
pened to be printed that way many
year ago. Every so often the pur
chasing ngent had ordered, as a
matter of routine, "10.000 more of
the same." One great executive,
when aaked him many different
forms his company use, estimated
the number at 250. An Investiga
tion showed that there were more
than 1,100!
Another thing the Investigator dis
covered was that one man in B0 who
buys printed matter haa any Idea
what printing ought to coat. For
six Mk corporations who arranged
to have printed forma systematized
and simplified, the saving wu al
ways about the same nearly half
the present annual cost.
So Vou Can Notice It.
From tha Oerlng Courier.
The most tangible and incontro
vertible proof that a republican state
administration has commenced to
function In behalf of the people de
spite the parlous times through
which we have been passing Is to be
found In the assessment Just made
at Lincoln. One-third Is wiped off
the previous levy in other words
the general levy is 2 mills instead of
3 mills as Inst year. Bring this down
to a concrete and understandable
figure by Inspecting the actual tax
levied this year upon Seotts Bluff
county. Last year, or 1921, Seotts
Bluff county was charged with
$106,154 In state taxes. This year,
or 1922, the county is charged with
$71,624. In othpr words, we will get
off this year $35,630 cheaper for
state government than last year. All
the political bunk in the world can't
erase that fact as absolute proof.
Of course the esteemed World-Herald
will twist and conjure the figures
and interested candidates will spread
a biased propasanda to make us be
lieve we are being gypped all the
time, but it will not change the facta
And, If the writer does not mistake
the temper of the times, the coming
legislature will be able to still fur
ther reduce state expense. It can
be done, It ought to be done, and it
will be done.
