At the same time a correnpondent at York writes to The Omuha Jiee, urging that more rigor ous measures be adopted to suppn-s crime and re press criminals. In Chicago a call has been mailt- that Kpecial prayers be offered on Monday in a movement to check the crime that now is rampant in that city. K'ach of these is a move in the direction of good. Taken- together they offer the solution ull well-din-posed persona hope for. Fuith without works i negative and passive,' and prayer also tmludes di rected effort to achieve the end prayed for. Thu faith that leads earnest, devout men and women to seek divine guidance in their earthly af fairs will also lead them to follow what appears to bo divine direction, and so bring about pood. If wur ever is done away with, it will be becuuse the earnest women of America have btudied and worked and prayed to that end. If crime ever is k-asencd, it will be for the same reason. f Yet each of these reasons Includes action. ' War is perhapa the most abhorrent in any of its aspects, but crime is tho closest to us all the time. Punish ment is not remedy, as has been proven by huniun experience, yet we believe that proportionately (here is less of crime now than ever, becnune. the Incentive to crime is Jes. Trayer has had the ef fect of leading the race in the direction of remov ing cnuscs that produce crime. Forces working to gether for good arc focused on causes rather than on effects, and therefore beneficiont results may be noted.

"Mine he urged the nomination of a Wall street candidate In 191! lie has obeyed the command of Wall street whenever Wail street needed lilm." W. J. Iliy an in a speech at I'ender, Neb., April 18, 1920. "He has been on tho brewer's side of Hie ques tion, has been opposed to woman's suffrage and on the Wall street side of the currency question." Bryan in a seeeb In New York, March 19, 1920. "Then, on the subject of woman suffrage, lie voted wllh minority of the democrats and a minority of the senate, against suffrage at a time when bis Tote would have given the democrats tho prestige of having submitted the amendment when the deniocralic party was in control. And ' he voted siiaiimt stiffi-ago In spile of Hie request made by the legislature of Nebraska that be vote to submit the amendment." liryan In the Com moner of March, 1920. Ia that the same Ilitchcock who now is pleading for the votes of the women? Is that the man who has imported women speakers from the east to de fend him on the stump? No stranger case of a political Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde has ever been seen. In that great struggle to give the ballot to the Wives, mothers and sisters of America, he joined with tho reactionary democrats of the southern bloc, and betrayed the public opinion of his home state. He delayed the coming of woman suffrage, but he could not prevent its final triumph. Before they had the vote, he spurned them, and now that they have it is weakly trying to hide behind the skirts of theso imported women speakers and beguile fhe unwary. If what the Fryans said about Ilitchcock is true f-and no one can question its truth then it is plain that Hitchcock is not ft to serve another term in the senate. However, desire for the spoils of office has over time these ancient enmities. Brother Charley Bryan has become a candidate for governor of Ne braska on the same ticket on which Hitchcock is run ning for senator. The man whom Brother Charley for merly denounced as the leader of the "most vicions and unscrupulous liquor combination that ever foisted itself upon a free people" is now his run Sing mate. W. J. Bryan, with an eloquent gesture, has as sured the people of Nebraska that Hitchcock is pure as the driven snow and that "the liquor ques tion is settled in so far as Nebraska is concerned." Yet in April of this year, in speech delivered at Lincoln before Brother Charley had decided to run for office, Bryan Issued this warning: "If a candi date says this issue ia settled, rail him a liar!" It is this slranse contrast and contradiction that moved Senator Norris to observe in his speech at Chadron: "The combination is rotten and can not stand the tett of time and logic. " This unholy alliance, revealing si it does the in- sinrerity rf Il fchcock and Brother Charley, amain and disgusts the voters, TTiis la the onholy a'liance that now ask the voters t eras fri-m their pm-mories the thing that wre satd in fermrr t.mr and to K!tv only the flee wv-svl o-f mutual admiration that are ipeken ttJv.

T .. t " t "f ' UNION PACIFIC AND CENTRAL PACIFIC. One of the noteworthy contributions to current discussion of the situation with regard to the "Pa cific" railroads is found in the October number of "The University of California Chronicles." Writ ing of the "Southern Pacific Unmerger," Prof. Stuart Daggett of the University of California con cludes a long and careful consideration of the en tire case: "The writer Is In favor of tho tranwfer of tho Central Pacific to the Union TiieiHe, becauae lie bn lieves thut transcontinental routes should be oper ated at) milts. They perform the functions of a bridge between termini far more than do railroads in more evenly settled eastern communities, and Just as it is undeslrublo for one-half of a bridge to bo owned by ono party und the other half my another purty, so It is tiiideslrahlo for one hulf of the ObiIcu routo to be owned hy one railroad com pany and the other half to be owned by another railroad company. The reasons, ot inconvenience which are presented to justify tho continued com mon control of gathering lines In California seem to him to appy with even more force to the com mon management of what should he a continuous lino at least from Omaha to the Pacific coast." Prof. Daggett also expresses the belief "that this change would lead in tho long run to a better physical development of the Ogden route, and to a more rapid and perhaps a cheaper movement over this line." He also argues that to continue control of the Central Pacific in tho Southern Pacific is dangerous, because it does not insure the continued movement of traffic at a maximum bv wav of Omaha. "The writer does not believe that the right to route can sufficiently protect the shipper against a settled railrpad policy," he says. Prof. Daggett s article is especially interesting because it shows a change in the thought of Cali fornia people with reference to the disposal of the Central Pacific. Tho Southern Tacific is still seek ing to avoid the unmerger, but the eggs that went into the Harriman omelet may yet he separated. NEBRASKA'S HUSKY WARRIORS. Native Nebraskans know their worth and merit, but chief among the cardinal virtues practiced here abouts is that of modesty. Maybe we are now going a little beyond the limits of the customary repres sion of self-advertising, yet the risk is assumed, be cause somebody has to do it. On behalf of the Nebraska football team of 1922 we accept the nomination offered it by Coach Steve O'Rourke of St. Louis university, who. tenders it the honor of being the greatest football team evef got together in the world. Hear him further: "Nebraska is so good It could play Harvard Thursday. Yale Friday, and Centre Saturday, and win all three games." All in favor say aye. The ayes have it, and it ii to ordered. Yet we would like to call Mr. O'Rourke's atten tion to the fact that while we esteem him as a scholar and a gentleman, and a corking good judge of football material, he has told us nothing we did not already know. Nebraska always turns out a mighty good football team, and anybody looking for proof of this assertion can get it from Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Notre Dame and other who have tasted Cornhu-ker hospitality. at least It will always lie on lit the rlttlit iiiikIc.

Smart, or Disreputable? J'roin iho Kansas City Hiar. When an office seeker makes a campaign of lies and misrepresenta tions, n fellow politielun is apt to say with admiration: "111 gets away with it, too. .Smart fellow." "tint," the ordinary plug citizen protest;!. "It seems disrpputalily to me for a man to lie like that." "My buy," the other replies. "That's politics." It Is a form of polities, of course, but disreputable. And tho worst thlnsr about it Is that we, the people how chesty vvn me when we say that let the politician fut it over. We are easy marks to do it. If we paid attention to apeorheaand railed the speakers, even of our own party, if we found them misrepresent inn or dodRlntf, we could put the pre varicators out of business. do if he worked hard enotmn ni etudled about It. H was as president of u I,Ik bank that be whs elected to heud the bankers' association. nil tho same day the bankers rh-oti-il as first vice president W. W.

As second vice pi esldi lit they chose W. I. Knox, who came to America nn Immigrant boy from Ireland, re ceived the free education of New York Otv pulillc schools and is pres ident today of the Howery Havings bun!;. In another city the directors of the Cotton Helt railroad were elect Iiik h president. They chose for this posi tion which pays fltil.VOO a yeur a man who 2ii years ano was working for the road at tJ.', a month. Not one of these men was chosen for his hijfh position because his be ginning was small and bumble be cause he hud left school at VI or 13, becauso he was an .Immigrant bid, because he had worked for $1 ii day. They were chosen Ikcuiish of the qual ities which bad not let them tay where they began. HcIiimT born In a. log1 cabin never made n man great. It Isn't desirable that il should. Hut In America to he born In a log calm) Is still no alibi for failure. How could yon go lo any of these men with a story of being fatally handicapped by the circum stances of birth and boyhood. Their lives ii nd their achievements are tes timony that though the usual doors may seem to be closed the skylight Is open. The way Is opened upward for the boy or the man with grit and gumption enough to start building a ladder. That is not truo everywhere, as thousands of young Americans learned In their mlrltiiry travels. It Is true in America, and it is worth keeping true.

From Ihn Kvliraaka Sluto Journal. As if Mr. Bryan's place in bed with Benatnr Hitchcock wore not misery enough for him. some one has been drawing our eloquent ex-rltlzen into further embarrassment. They have put Mr. liryan to retailing notable misstatements of facts. Not matters of fact, over which there can he dis pute, but matters in which the facts nre of record. In some of his speeches Mr. Bryan makes the flat presentation that to his brother belongs tho glory for car rying on and winning Lincoln's dollar g.as suit. In his Heatrico Rpeecli ho told how at towns where he had been speaking grateful present or former citizens of Lincoln had come to him und told him how they had received some of that rebate money, some $4H, some $15, and so on; nil carrying the Implication of glory to Brother Char ley for every cent got. As everybody in Lincoln knows, who knows anything at public affairs, tho Lincoln dollar gas ordinance was passed and the suit eturted more than 15 years ago when the. Hryans were devoted wholly to stale and national politics. At no time in the entire course of that long fight had the Bryans anything in particular to do with the caaa. City administration after city administration the one of which Brother Charles was a part not more than any other pressed thati suit. It was won finally because the entire city stood with remarkable firmness behind whatever rlty gov ernment xvas In (ittioe, insisting a! wave on the pressing ot the suit. I-'or unyono to claim for Brother Charles or for nny other Individual or group of Individuals' a special credit for the success of that suit is a piece of effrontery. It is nn attempt tu de prive an entire cltijienship of the credit for a great deed done, by and for Itself. One could name imtny wh wei o in position do special serv lee in that contest.

A.T.I'. A Campaign of lake Pretenses. Omaha. To the Hdltor nf The Omaha Bee: Judging from some of the letters we see each day in the World Herald under tho "Public Pulse" and from some of the boiuiuits thrown In same at Mr. Hitchcock, any one who does no thinking would naturally be led to belicvo that the election of the said geiitb-nian would Immediately Mettle tin- bono question and that the casldei's window at the World-Herald office would t once be come the pay station for nil of our ex soldiers to apply to for the full pay ment of tho bonus money they claim .Mr. Harding recently sidetracked for them. They hats sight of the fact thut had Mr. Harding put his o, K, on the bonus bill that was recently put lip to him ami which he promptly vetoed, the bunker who rushed the soldier' paper would have been the man who would get the large end of tho money, and the man who needed the money and the man for whom same was in tended would gt tile small part of same. Wo thing Air. Harding will III good time put his stamp of approval on a bonus bill that will abundantly take care of the mill who need same and w ho nro more than entitled to such help and by all means should be helped. The Lord knows that If only a small part of the money thut was not spent but was thrown away, during the Wil son administration, was able to be re called by the present party in otlice, that tills amount would more than take cure of the present need In help ing the fllsabled soldier. The, if fi 40,000. Ooi) aircraft money would make a good start. This .should In part ha available, as the Hughes investiga tion, which was thorough, was able to And where only a smull part had. been spent us Intended. We might alo even at this late date bo able lo salvage sonie part of the thousand of army trucks that we delivered to the democrat after the wur as far as the United Htute wna concerned was over. These even yet might be put into the hands of some of our fann ers, w ho could use jume to Imul their crops to market. No doubt we would be able to get Mr. Hitchcock, who Is until after this election istill in tho senate, to aid us In this good cause, a he certainly showed great love for the farmers of Nebraska when he voted for the Kseh -Cummins railroad bill, which raised freight rates so high that the tenant farmers in our state and in ollnr states are not able to pay the freight on, b t alone the pur cliaso price of needed farm machin ery. I wonder why Mr. Hitchcock and the wonderful array of explainers and I MIT5 iipellblndera who nro nddreeelnir such lut go crowds of our farmer nt each slop do not explain Just why bo voted ftir this measure and Include the re duction of freight rate In the other great cuts that um going Into effect immediately upon their being elected to olllce?
