SEARCHING THE RECORD
Taking exception to the statement of the Lincoln
Journal that he is of the "conventional senatorial set
against which the country is apparently in revolt,"
Even with tha shortened acreage and tha low re
sulting from the sever drouth and heat of August,
tha yield of ths principal crops is moat imposing,
Corn retsins its place as king of fsrm products, with
an estimated total yield of 2,875,000,000 bushel.
valued at f 1,801,900,000 on September 1, Hay Is
second of th great billion-dollar trinity, with a valua
for wild and tarns of 11,160,200,000. Cotton comes
third, with a total estimated value of $1,004,400,000.
To th valua of th cotton will be added finally tha
Income from th seed, which may bring tha total
worth of tha crop ahov that for hay. Wheat Is set
down for a contribution of $720,600,000 to th grand
total; oats adds $404,100,000; potatoes bring $3H6,
400,000, and apples $227,200,000; and other yields
com In order, making up a grand total of $6,600,
000.000.
Thes figures ar of aervlc because they afford
a reasonable starting point for calculating tha eondl
tion of the greatest of basic industries. They ar
well below the showing of th wag peak, but ar the
more dependable became they ar down. Some
thing approaching stability has been attained in th
matter of world consumption, and this will be re
flected in the market.

Nebraska. It means that Hitchcock believes the To be crowned queen of bathing beauties and
women of Nebraska have forgotten his opposition to I dubbed "Miss America," as Mary Katherine Camp-
woman suffrage; that women and men alike have
forgotten his opposition to prohibition and his con
nection with "big business," of such intimacy and
long standing that the present senior partner of
Bryan-Hitchcock, Ltd. has time and again been im
pelled to call it to the attention of the people of
Nebraska and elsewhere. "I have never been able to
keep Hitchcock away from Wall street," said Bryan
many times.
What constitutes a "progressive" senator?
When Hitchcock failed to vote to put a tariff on
hides, protecting a product of Nebraska farms and
ranches, waa he prompted by a desire to be "pro
gressive?" Although requested so to do by the republicans
, and democrats alike in the Nebraska state legislature,
Hitchcock voted against the emergency tariff rates on
agricultural products for the protection of Nebraska's
one greatest industry the farm. Was that an act to
substantiate his claim that he is a "progressive?"
Hitchcock voted "No" to the resolution declaring
an end to the war with Germany. Was this in lint
with his "progressive" ideas?
When the bill to regulate the packing houses, to
which Nebraska ships millions of dollars worth of its
products, was up in congress Hitchcock did not vote.
Was this according to his ideas just being "pro
gressive?" Hitchcock did not vote on the Important revenue
bill when It was up for consideration. Surely this
was more an effort to be "conventionally democratic"
than to be "progressive."
When the peace treaty with Germany was pre
sented for ratification, Hitchcock did not vote, and
neither did he vote upon the ratification of the Aus
trian peace treaty. This action certainly would
hardly be other than that of a "conventional demo
crat" opposing all that is republican.
He voted "No" when the senate approved the
four-power treaty, making possible the carrying out
of the arms limitation program and ending the mad
race for armed supremacy. Was he thus adding to
his "progressive" record, or was it further evidence
of his being "conventionally democratic?"
When it was proposed to appoint a committee to
negotiate for the funding of the foreign debt owed
this country, a matter involving the repayment of
nearly eleven billions of dollars, Hitchcock was present
but did not vote. Was Hitchcock sustaining his claim
then that he is a "progressive?"
Hitchcock did not vote when it was proposed to
bell of Columbus, O.. has been is no mean distinction
It does not matter that only 66 competitors were
entered in the final lists; every bathing beach In the
country had its competition, and from among the
millions of fair swimmers, anyone of whom deserves
to be called a peach, and "the on altogether lovely,"
were selected the 66 who were there at the finiiih.
So the winner may be considered as fairly representa
tive of the whole.
She may wear her crown and title with com
posure, but she will not be free from the inspection
of the most critical of all observers, those of her sex
and style, who also wear the one-piece suit and have
fun in the waters or on the sands. This jury has not
yet reported, and until it does the entire record may
not be made up. Another interesting reflection is
that Columbus has neither lake nor ocean on which
to construct a bathing beach, yet the storied Scioto
seema to have afforded sufficient moisture to bring
forth a nymph whese attractions won for her the
proud distinction of eclipsing those mermaids whose
habitat is on one or the other of the great oceans,
along: the lakes, or where water is present in abund
ance. It is but another victory for the great agricultural
empire, of which Ohio is the eastern and Nebraska
the western guardian. Something worth while, for
this region takes a back seat for none, and even
Solomon would have some trouble to decide which
of all its myriads of worth while girls is "chiefest."

GETTING BACK THE LETTER.
Have you ever written a letter, and changed your
mind, and then destroyed the letter? Of course you
have, and so has everyone. Sometimes, though, you
have mailed that letter before changing your mind.
Then you are not happy. Whatever the reason, such
a letter is a source of worry. Now comes Dr. Hubert
Work, postmaster general, with relief for those who
are so troubled. Under his recent ruling it will be
possible to get such a letter out of the clutches of
Uncle Sam. All the writer has to do is to notify the
postmaster in time that such a missive has been
mailed, and furnish reasonable proof of having writ
ten it. Then it will be returned, and, in cases of
emergency, such a letter will be halted en route by a
telegram to the railway mail clerk.
How much of trouble this will save in the world
is beyond estimation, but surely it will help to quiet
the qualms of many an uneasy letter writter. Folks
may now change their minds with comparative safety,
because Dr. Work, continuing the humanizing of the

EUROPE TAKES THE HINT.
Recognition of the ideal of disarmament is made
in reports to the council of the league of nations by
a number of nations. It is significant, however, that
the greateat reduction of armament did not originate
with th league, but with th International confer
ence held in Washington.
Great Hritain report to th council a 65 per cent
cut in naval tonnage, Japan 69 percent. Italy 49 per
cent, and Franc 36 per cent. Ther is no reason to
bri eve that this would have been posaible had not
the United Stairs, acting Independently of th league
of nations called on th power to agrc to a program
of economy and armament limitation.
American prJur, exerted in a different way,

made this occasion one long to be
remembered. The warmth of the
handclasp, the friendly slap on the
shoulder, tho readiness Omaha peo
pla display In directing th stranger

ardent each succeeding year and
causes the visitor to feel the interest
la one of genuine friendliness.
Blair n'lot,
Don C. Van Deusen: There Is a
decidedly better feeling among the
newspaper men of the state now
than there was a few year ago
when an Omaha paper dubbed the j
newspaper men "Country Yoke!."
It has taken a long time to wear this
off, but the meeting last week shows
It has finally worn off. I can re
member when we had our annual
meeting In Omaha and the Chamber
of Commerce or business men took
no notice of us at all. We even had
to furnish our own room In which
to meet. Naturally the newspaper
folk didn't' fall In love with Omaha
after such treatment. Lincoln al
ways treated us better and It was
even written In our constitution that
we meet In Lincoln every other year.
When Omaha began to alt up and
take notice of us the majority vote
has been for Omaha each year.
At ono time when tha wet and
dry fight was on Omaha didn't want
to remain a pnrt of the state of Ne
braska and a lot of us didn't care
whether It did or not. Even now,
Omaha doesn't abide by the laws
that govern the balance of the state,
but there Is no open antagonism and
we all recognlz that there are n lot
nf Just as good folks In Omaha as
there are anywhere, but sometimes
they ara In th minority, as 1 true
of most of the other towns In the
state.
Another evldenc of the changed

Cyrus Block: Owing to th fact
that the attendance of Nebraska ed
Itors at th recent meeting In Omaha
wa greater than ever before In the
history of our association th attl
tuda of the people In tha central
western part of the state toward
Omaha Is about all that could b de
sired on the part of Omnha. I feel
unite sure that th members of thn
Nebraska Press association who uc
cepted th Invitation of the Omnha
Chamber of Commerce to ba the
guests of your city are duly appre
ciative and will alway cherish a
kindlier feeling toward Nebraska's
metropolis and by way of reciproca
tion will endeavor to Impart thl
feeling to their constituency through
their country newspapers, end In so
doing will eliminate any prejudice
or feeling of Jealousy which might
exist In the minds of the people
whom they are serving.

breaker or "scab" It Is contrary to
ell the principles th unions have
fought so fiercely to mali'aln and
sh Is a traitor to a Just causa, her
own best interests and thoaa of tha
"wnse earner's children."
The strikers wnnt mora than
bread and writer for their children,
as well as for tha neighbors' babies
not only for today, hut for msny
daya to come and why should any
woman ba willing for her man to
sell himself for a few paltry dollars
a a strikebreaker?
We all hold that every man owes
much to his family and ther I no
respect for tha mn who Is not am
bitious nor farslghted enough to
provid for their welfare, but why
criticize th unions when th strik
ers are only trying to Insure a liv

We are willing (If necessary) to
endure hirrtshlps rather than tol
erate hardships brought about by
the rnllroadt' enforced layoff dur
ing .the winter months, and did
th"sa railroads which Tour "respect
ed" strikebreakers are now helping,
care If the workman's babies had
even bread?
The unions are not allowing th6
babies to suffer hunger, so there is
no excuse, for your defense of the
"scab" nnd If you hnve Joined

A CHAT WITH
YOUR
GAS MAN
Do you alwavs have your gns
rarga oven well heated nerore
nslnrr? Yoti sho"M do so for both
the baking and broiling oven.
Ten minutes is an average al
lowancc for tha baking oven nd
five minutes for the broiling
oven.
This method involves no waste
of y-as, because If food Is placed
in a cold oven, the cooking will
take just so much longer; be-s-des,
tho results will not be so
good. If the recioe calls for a
moderate oven, reduce the flame
one-half at the end of ten min
utes. For a quirk oven, keep
burners lifrhted during all cr
nearly all the baking.
Also bpar in mind that it !
better to boke in tin pans instead
of sheet iron or agate pans. The
Iron absorbs the heat and is more
liable to burn the contents at
the bottom and sides before the
baking is done. You may not
have noticed this in using the
coal range, but the heat of the
gas range is much more intenss
and direct.
If there is anything about
your gas appliances thnt you do
not understand, your gas man
will be glad to instruct you. He
wants you to get the best re
sults from the gas you use.
