THE REPUDIATION OF " HITCHCOCKISM,"
At the final figure are totaled, the enormous
Ik of Howell's majority impresari itself. When
the last rotei an counted Nebraska! new repub-
II tan irnator will hive around 76,000 majority.
That ii greater majority ly three times thin
ever tflven to successful senatorial candidate in
thi whole hintory of Nebraska, It approaches the
proportions of the Harding; IsimUIuIc tf two yeurs
Co. It In f reiser than thu combined majorities of
Wilion arid Hitchcock in 1916, hy 26,000. It ii the
greatest mijorlty ever (dven my i-it izi-n of the
itite, on any ticket, in any election in which there
an opposing- candidate. Thin spontaneous
demonstration l not to be accounted for hy the
votei of the women, or of any group.
It ii by thin samo majority that the jiooplo of
thii itate have repudiated their senior lenator and
the method and policies and lurk of policies for
which he stand tho thing" thut hai come to l
known an "Hitchrocklnm."
"Hitcheockism" in dead in Nebraska, dead in the
birth of a new era of rclf-consclousness of the west
ern firming; itstcs, of projfresslvenesi with con-
lervarism. Above all, thi new era demand of it
exponent! sincerity of purpose and consistency of
action.
In a leading editorial in his paper thii morning,
ever the ahnature of one of hii writer, Hitchcock
"explain' hi defeat.
K would he uncharitable to use the language of
the defeated senator' paper, used at a time when
Brother Charley was giving- an "explanation" of a
victory: "A pretty hum sport, and rather a hopeless
sort of ass."
We lo not apply such terms to the "explana
tion" of the senator of hii defeat. We merely
pause here to comment on the danger of over "ex
planation" of defeat as well as personal exaltation
over victory.
After all, no man has won a victory, although
there has been decisive victory and overwhelming
defeat.
It is the people who have spoken. It is the
people who have triumphed, giving victory to their
chosen representatives and administering disastrous
defeat to those they have repudiated,
It is no time for an alibi.
It ii no time, either, for arousing old prejudices
and old fears to explain new defeats.
A few weeks ago it was suKKCstod in Nebraska
that there was something to ho gained with the
"German vote" by a few words to be spoken in con
gress regarding the use of colored troops on the
Rhine. The Omaha Bee is in a position to know
that this suggestion was made to others than Sena
tor Hitchcock. To none, however, did it appeal as
a political move except to the senator.
And so he rose in the senate at the eleventh
hour and denounced this condition on the Rhine
front. By this political four-flush rejected by
others, he hoped to make an impression on the
"German vote" and to benefit politically. This
speech was printed in German and circulated widely
about Nebraska as a part of the flood of propaganda
by which Hitchcock hoped to capitalize racial feeling.
If the senator is correct, that he failed to gain
the "German vote," it is not because of duty per
formed during thi war, but because citizens of Ger
man blood, in common with the vast majority of all
voters in Nebraska, have lost confidence in the sen
ator'i sincerity, and the last minute four-flush on
the Ehineland only served to evidence further this
lack of sincerity.
All that Nebraska asks of i'.s citizens is that
they ahide by its laws, protect its institutions and
guard the spirit of liberty. The effort to make it
appear that any one eiasi of voters is responsible
for the defeat of the democratic senator must be re
sented as tending to arouse class feeling and divide
the citiienship on wrong lines.
The vote received by R. U. Howell came from
all lections of the state, and from all sorts of homes,
The republican majority was as large in Custer
county, which contain scarcely any persons of
German extraction, as in any of those counties that
were settled largely by members of that race. It
wai two to oni for Howell in Custer county, and
the proportion rin similarly against Hitchcock in
ctheri where Germnns are scarce. Thus, Holt
county gave Unwell 3,0'JO votes while Hitehcock
received only 5.1 07. Franklin county gave Howell
1,213 and Hitchcock only T2. Frontier and liar
lan eounties are other examples of sections with
few Germans to csst votes for or against any candi
date, and Howell won there.
In fact, then are Tint more than half a doien
counties In all Nebraska that, according to unofficial
returns, voted in fsvor of Hitchcock,
is.ooo.ooo higher than in 1321, yet it represents
cut of 8,uQ0,()0O from the tentative estimate.
On the basis of the estimated population of the
city for the year 1921, this budget represents nearly
$0.1 per capita. It will be spurt to maintain the
city's activities, soma of the leading items being!
Education, f 3,fi33,4S0.88j debt service (interest
on bunds, warrants, etc.), 1,935,611.83 state tax,
'""'J t i J.6'5,23.67; county governments, $10,RR?,.
S3 1.62. Police, fire, and street cleaning depart
ments, child welfare and support of dependents take
another fourth of the total.
Whether life in New York is worth what it costa
is open to question, the answer depending on the
frame of mind of the individual. The late James
Huneker once wrote from abroad to a friend at
home: "I would rather be a fried oyster in Phil
adelphia than lord mayor of London." It is fair to
presume, however, that most Nebraskans, who pay
only about $30 per capita for all taxei will prefer
to remain where they are, sustaining the ills they
have In preference to flying to such as are set out
In full view by the Tammany government of
Gotham.
LITTLE REMINDERS OF CROESUS.
One of our commonest expression is to say of
someone that he is "ai rich as Croesus," yet very
few think of Croesus in terms of real acquaintance.
His existence lias been brought to mind recently by
the arrival In New York of thirty small golden coins.
These are believed to be the first ever minted. They
were exhumed by archaeologist at work investigat
ing the ruins of Bardls, the ancient I.ydisn capital
in Asia Minor.
Croesus lived about 2,500 yenrs ago, and ac
quired a reputation for wealth that has survived all
his other qualifications. He ruled over an enter
prising people, who carried on commerce through
out Asia Minor and with Egypt and even to ancient
Phoenicia, and maybe beyond, i Silver had been the
money metal, although gold was used in bars as a
medium of exchange. Croesus had so much of it
thut be coined gold money, even as Solomon a few
hundred years before him had coined silver, mak
ing it "to be as stones in the itrceta of Jerusalem."
And, Just as this display of Solomon attracted the
unfavorable attention of the kings of Babylon to
Jerusalem, so did the reputed wealth of Croesui
Lrintr him to the notice of Cyrus,
That "king of kings" had succeeded Darius, and
was bent on extending his predecessor's conquests,
and Lydia was swallowed up, just as were all the
other minor kingdoms and principalities of that
part of the world. It is curious now, in the light of
whnt recently happened in Smyrna, to remember
that the Greeks of those days successfully resisted
the Persian invasion, and then, under Alexander,
turned and drove the Persians out of Asia Minor,
conquered Persia, a part of India and all of Egypt,
and then wept because there were no more world
to overrun.
Incidentally, the thirty coins brought to the
United States as relics of Croesui are valued at
$1,000,000.

NEBRASKA'S NEW GOVERNOR.
Almost alone among the democratic candidates
for state office in Nebraska Charles W. Bryan hai
met with success. His chief running mate, Senator
Gilbert M. Hitchcock, went down in defeat. All the
other democrats except Charles W. Pool, who was
elected secretary of state, were lot. Yet Mr.
Bryan comes up smiling.
The people of Nebraska have placed Bryan in
the governor's chair, and they will not be lacking in
their support of him there so long as he conducts
hi office with due regard for their wishes and the
realities of the situation. However embarrassing
the exaggerated promises of his campaign may
prove, the republican legislature should not share any
responsibility for failure to uid any measures bene
ficial to Nebraska.
Bryan will find that the republican legislature
that has been elected to office under a democratic
governor will co-operate with him in whatever leg
islative action is designed for the public good. These
republicans in the house and senate are pledged to
a reduction of state expense! and a further cut in
tho tax bill. To this and other desirable ends they
should work with their governor as readily as they
would have done with Charles H. Randall, the re
publican candidate for governor.
In all regards the republican legislative major
ity will act as a balance wheel for Nebraska's new
governor. Bryan shares the good fortune of the
stale in not being saddled with unchecked authority.
It is hardly possible that ho can consider that he has
been given a mandate for the complete upheaval of
the established system of state government or for
any exhibition of partisan favoritism or spite.

IOWA'S NEW SENATOR.
When Iowa voters decided to send Smith W.
Prookhart to the senate they did not take into con
sideration some of the political traditions of the
state. Once upon a time conditions in Iowa were
such that the colonel wouldn't have gotten to first
base in a republican convention. All who doubt
this may find the proof by looking up the records
of the convention wherein James B. Weaver was
turned down after it had been all but certain that
he would be nominated for governor. Weaver an
swered by going over to the greenback party and
defeating Judge Samson, one of the old-time war
horses, for congress.
low voters were looking at the man, rather
than at the politician, when they nominated and
elected Brookhstt. He i tlm product of the state,
the output of its sthools, and a representative of its

A recent resolution adopted by the
New York Chamber of Commerce
place tlmt body on record n "In
fnvor of the general principles of
standnrdlzntlon In American Indus
tries," a et forth In a report or It
committee on foreljrn commerce. It la,
of course, a well-recognized fact that
American manufacturer have already
gone rurtner in tnis nireition man
have those of sny other nation. What
Is usually termed "muss production"
tins In this manner been made feas
ible. This, of course, In turn has been
Instrumental In enabling our fitctorlcs
to keep costs down In spite or hlgn
wno-n levels.
However, It Is reasonable to sup
poso that the process can be car
ried a good deal further In a num
ber of respects with advantage to
both producer and consumer. It Is
commonly supposed that this Is
more particularly true of products
Intended primarily for use within
our own borders. Tt is therefore of
especial Interest that the sublect ha
now been brought to the fore by those
chiefly Interested In tho development
of our export trade.
In carrying out standardization
methods still further In the produc
tion of articles Intended for sale
abroad we must, of course, face tho
difficulties arising from customs,
prejudice and whims of foreign
people who are as yet not accustom
ed to such uniformity In products
a Is necessary for the full reallzji
tlon of all the benefits to be de
rived from complete standardization
of materials and processes. There Is.
however, no good ground for seri
ous doubt that much can be done In
this direction. It would seem to be
highly desirable that we proceed vigor
ously snd Intelligently to exploit the
experience and natural advantages
that are ours In the way of export.
In fact, It will probably prove neces
sary if we arc to compete success
fully with Kurope.
180,000 Miles of Good Highways.
From the Chli-ago Tribune.
A program for construction of 180.-
000 miles of Improved highways at a
total cost of $3,000,000,000 Is con-
templated by the federal government,
according to a dispatch from Wash
ington. Tho national conference on
education for highway engineering
nnd transport Is reported to be work
ing on the plan. It Is a project of
thrilling magnitude.
To tie sure, IS or 70 years win ne
required to complete the proposed sys
tem, according to estimate, but even
so tne outinoK is promising. we
doubt that $3,000,000,000 could be bet-
ter expended In the development or
this country. It would require an
expenditure of approximately $ ! 50.
000,000 a venr for 30 years, hut it
would mean completion of from S.OOO
to 10,000 miles of Improved highways
In each of thos yars.
I'nder federal aid regulstlons these
great arteries of mobile transportation
would be laid out In such sclent iflo
manner as to provide through trafllo
route, from roast to roaat and north
end south, somewhat similar to the
present great railroad system, with
a huge mileage or connecting noreen

clnl grievances, ono of them being
that the dninocrntlc manngers are not
supporting Mrs. Oleson In Minnesota,
but In a general way their discontent
Is due to tho feeling that the men are
using them for humble errand run
ning, but are keeping them out of all
the places where the grand strategy
of the campaign Is planned and the
big things done.
On this point Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Catt Is ouoted as Buying that women
all over tho country are bitter because
they have been admitted only to the
antechamber while the real work Is
done In behind a closed door In a small
room reached only by a secret pas
sage.
one has no difficulty In believing
that the women have found the seats
around tho highest council tables In
both parties aro all reserved. They
always have been, and It is not the
women nlono who are given some
thing less than a keyhole view of
what Is going on Inside. Thousands
of male politicians ar nursing peren
nlnl grouches because whenever they
approach tho inner circle somebody
shoulders them out. Ktlll old leaders
do fall and new men do push their
way to tho front. The newcomer
get there by demonstrating more than
usual capacity for party management.
Personal Inlluence, political sagacity,
organizing ability are tho elements
that count most, and tho man who
shows hn has those qualities by win
ning victories at the polls cannot bo
kept out of the places where political
power Is exerted.
Tho women will find In the long run
that what Is true among the men will
be truo regarding them. Doubtless
there is some sex prejudice to over
come, but It will molt, away before any
woman who proves that slin can bring
home the votes. If some woman
should establish herself llnnly
In congress, for Instance, carrying
elections in her district time after
time, and growing In political wisdom,
she might get hh gond a place in seats
of the mighty as Undo Joe Cannon
