Political prophets have interpreted the results of th.it recent election with varying conclusions. One announces the impending breakdown of party gov ernmeni; another the formation of a new party that is to sweep the country, and others vary be tween these point. Such conclusions are mistaken in the assumption that the exiting parties are not capable of growth and change, but have in them selves only the germs of decay. The many conflicting guesses indicate that the omens of the late election have been missed by the soothsayers. Oiniting consideration of any local insue that might have affected the outcome. in any particular state, the great outstanding feature is that the people are liot satisfied with policies of the past; they are anxious for progress, and look for leaders to bring about some of the things that be long to a new era. This seems to be particularly true of the great empire between the Alleghenies and the Rockies. As the middle west has grown more important in a business way, political leader ship is bound to follow. The people of this region are not radicals In any sense of the term. Neither are they Incapable of going forward to new things. Call the roll of the state included, and you will discover that each is a progressive commonwealth, governed by its citizens along aane and healthy lines. Inhabited by God fearing men and women, who have every advantage enlightenment ran provide, to whom the home and all that attaches to it are sacred, and whose ideals are expressed in the "square deal," they do not hesitate to take a step forward in the way of Im proving their government. It was to these people the republican party made ita appeal in 1856, and in 1860 it was from among them the great leader of the day was chosen. Is not the republican party still capable of meeting the needs and fulfilling the aspirations of such citi zens? No possibility of future success is noted along the lines represented by the radicals or standpat ters, but it is entirely reasonable to expect that a common ground can be found on which the mass of the sober, ateadfast citizenry can meet. Men like Capper of Kansas, Howell of Nebraska, Brookhart of Iowa, Lenroot of Wisconsin, do not represent extreme views, but they do advocate sound prog ress. They are typical of the thought that controls the public mind of the middle west. Will the republican party arise, as it did in that dreadful crisis when Abraham Lincoln led it to the salvation of the union, and by courageous action under wise and prudent leadership, again show the way out of the morass into which national affairs are plunged? We believe it can. DIVIDING A MIGHTY WATERSHED. If the spirit of Franklin K. Lane continues to have interest in mundane affairs, it is pleased ft what is happening in Santa Fe. There the Colorado commission is coming to an agreement as to the di vision, not alone of the waters of the river itftelfM but with regard to the watershed. Seven states are concerned in the present negotiation, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming. Nebraska has a collateral interest, al though not direct, because the commission deals with the western slope. Our interest is in the waters that flow east and northward. . Colorado occupies a rather unique position in this regard. Within its borders arise streams that flow to the cardinal points of the compass, reaching two oceans ultimately. In the waters of these rivers not only Colorado, but Nebraska, Kansas, Arkan sas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona. Cali fornia, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming are concerned. If, as Secretary Lane once wrote a Colorado man who argued for the monopolistic control of the waters of that state, the stream were exclusively utilized in the state of their origin, much of the area in eleven other states would remain desert. ' The division has not been easily determined, but claims are being accommodated, and rights set up which will permit a realisation of the effective use of the water stripped from he high riding clouds by the Rocky mountains of the Centennial state. It is the presence of these mountains and the Sierra Ne vada that give us the to-called semi-arid region of the weest, the desert of Nevada "and Arizona, and the high, dry plain of Wyoming, and consequently it is only just that the utream-water from these mountains should be equally shared in by all who are deprived of rainfall.

The shift in public opinion in England denoted by the election just held I more apparent than reul. Return indicate that the actual comDosition of the British parliament will be about tht sama as it was. The conservative party will control, with a tlightly lessened majority; the laborite hold second place, with a few more votes than they had, but far from having a balance of power, while the Lloyd (ieorge liberal group hat dwindled nearly to the vanishing point. Asquith has gained a few votes, but not enough to make him more formidable than he has been. Uonar Law can start hi new government with a clear track, so far as parliamentary support I con cerned. We must conclude, however, that Ids con trol i not o much a popular approval f his pro gram as it is a rejection of some of the thing pro posed to be done by the other. Laborite might have gaintd more seats were it not for the extreme provision in their platform railing for a capital levy to pay off the public debt. Englishmen still are strong for the right to own property, and showed their resentment by voting against the extremist Lloyd George is not to be mourned a a fallen leader; he merely is experiencing what all active directors of public affairs go through at ome time in their careers. His efforts have not produced all the public asked for, or els too much, and so the people turn to t new leader, who proposes to lead them by a different path. He did a great work for England and for the world, but he was maintained in power by a coalition from which the conserva tive withdrew the chief leg of support, and It collapsed. Bonar Law will not be bothered with many thing that perplexod hit predecessor, but ho still Jias the big job of stabilizing domestic affairs, and getting hi country back into imooth waters. Thltj will pro vide him with ample occupation during the coming months. "From State and Nation" Editorials from other newspapers "RAILROADING" THEN AND NOW. -Thirty-four years of recorded experience with accidents of all character on railroads are made available by a recently published pamphlet of the Interstate Commerce commission. From these the Scientific American deduces that "for the year 1921 our railway were operated with a degree of safety that was never reached In all the preceding thirty-four-year period." Thi it encouraging, for it indi cate that, with all the other increases that of se curity has kept pace In the big business of railroad traffic. Heavier trains are run at greater speed than ever, more lives are In charge of the management, and more ton of freight are moved over great dis tances, and this with a continual improvement in the factor of safety, which is a real cause for com plimenting the men who handle the trains. Super intendents and signal men, dispatchers and twitch- men, engine crews ana trainmen, aim are con cerned in this, and on their skill and judgment hang the verdict of well done. Some other factors deserve consideration. The statement, "more trains," calls for a little explana tion. Traffic i more congested in the great center than ever, but more track are employed. Also, the expansion of the power units hat led to - tho in creased loading so that the weight of trains is many time greater than when the first records were made by the I. C. C. Freight train roll into Omaha daily of 2,0000 4,000 tons, or even heavier, where forty years ago the maximum would be around 250 to 300 tons. Not so many cart or engines are needed. Freight trains running in half a dozen or more sec tions, operated over single tracks were the rule then. Their movement was a job for the dis patcher. Safety devicet were unknown, and the human- factor controlled abeolutely. Opportunities or accident were more numerous, and if they werei not more serious, it was because the railroad men f that bygone time knew their business and' at tended to it vigilantly. CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY. American flags float on Omaha streets along- ide blue and white banners, significant of the cele bration of one of OmaWs great institutions. Loyal sons of Creighton university are prepared for tho home-coming festivities, at which they will attest their fealty to the school whose existence means so much to them. Saturday will be given over to such demonstra tions as occur in the mind of the college "boy," whether he be in the first year of hit course or a graduate of many years standing. But the affair has a deeper and more serious meaning. Along with the jollification will be considered plan for the future tupport of the school. Creighton university is well established and has steadily expanded its usefulness with the passing of car. From Its colleges have gone out hundreds of professional men, lawyer, doctors, dentists, and others, who have' served well the public because of the oundne of their training. These will realize the problem that now confront Creighton. While the cost of maintaining the university and carrying on it work h i more than doubled during he last ten years, it r-ourc are praotually the same they were then. Not only th Increase due to the advance in rosts of everything the tchool must buy. but the steadily growing demand upon its facilitie. hs complicated tha problem for those who are chanted with the direction of its affairs. Home-coming day mill be big event forl'relKh ton. for it will see a joyful reunion of "gtads" who hvt made good, and It will !w mark the start f 4mpi 1r fund that ais needed if the uni vrtiiy i ta vKtM'fuUy rry en tht great wntk it hso undr )f.

To be really effective, a law to pr' vent the eaay and prornUcuou al of th revolver must be general. A prohibitive ordinance In Ht. Paul would amount to little If the poten tlal criminal could step across the lino and make hi purchase In Mlnne' spoil. In this connection the United Htates Kevolver aeHociution I sponsoring a movement to have presented to a many state legislature an powilblo a bill modeled on that introduced in the United Htnte Keruite by Capper of Kansas mat Kcptember, with the on Jdct, an It ys, of "making it posaiblo for the law-abiding citizen to posse a pietol or revolver for protection of life and property; and at the same time provldo penult lea Humclently vere to deter criminal from using ui h weapons. Tho meanuro seem a little Involved. After providing for wnerhlp permits under penalty, the theory Is to punish for the commls- ilon of, or attempt to commit, crime rith a pistol for which th uaer ha no permit. Five yeur 1 the mini mim for the'flmt attempt and the J me may be doubled or tripled on a icond conviction, and a life sentence mpodpd for a fourth. CoiiHlderabln crlticlem lias followed :ho bill, but would follow any measure lor the same purpose. I'art of It at least Is theoretical, because a pro hibitive meaaure 1 the answer to a demand to decrease crime and there Is tho o next Ion whether It would do It. The bent opinion I that which hold that the beat way to leaaen crime la to punish it speedily and adequately. Hut while this la done It may help to take tep to leaeen gun Wing, Homicide ar on a ru ing curve everywhere and whatever operate to start a curve downward should not be neglected. Health and Temper. Prom tha Sioux Falla I'reaa. That worry or anger Interferes with dlgeation la not a new theory, al though moat people who are worried or "mad" during meals are too pre occupied to remember It. The medi cal corespondent of tho London Time carries it further, insisting that converaation et the tablo should be gentle and "digestive," Families who never sit down to gether without getting into a snarl, people who go out to lunch together to talk over business, even the now popular luncheon club where speak er of more or leas note start dis cussions, are warned by this author ity againat mental concentration at mealtime" as Injurious to the pro cess of digestion. Nor, he warns, will eating alone avoid the danger, be cause It 1 precisely then that the solitary diner thinks of worries he should forget while he eat. The blood Which should be engaged In the work of digestion must not be deflected to the brain. With thi clue the culture of "digestive conversa tion" Is added to the Hat of mddern panaceas. Judging by the matter heard on street cars a great many are already expert in it. Of Course, If You Like That Sort of Tiling. Prom tho Cincinnati Ttinea-Hlar.

Kruiu lb t.'hrialian Siloni Monilui In an Intereatlng and mora or l exhaustive report siibmlttad to the American I'vraonnel association, at Its meeting In i'lttsburgh, Pa., by Ita committee oil shop training, it waa slated that the moral standards of American workmen have Improved sine the war. It might have been regarded as entirely unnecessary, though It was confirmatory of tha statement referred to, to declare In a subsequent paragraph that the stitndarda of workmanship ar also higher. Tlio. second follow the first as surely aa day follow th njght or night the day. High moral lndard In Industry are a necessary to ef ficient production and to the mutual well being of both employer and em ployed, ns in any other purposeful ac tivity. It I no longer believed that th man who care nothing for his Job can render satisfactory service, and It matters not whether tho worker I hired to dig a ditch, build a house, make a pair of shoe or plow a Held of corn. Of course, those who discussed th subject at the convention referred to were not mere experimenters or mere observer. The deduction made nr baaed upon th theory that morale, or moral standards, or tfllclency and skill, lira raised through training and education, and that th man who I able to do a piece of work well find pleatur and profit In doing It satis factorily. The advantngea are at once manifest. The satisfactory stabiliz ing of factory or shop labor, with the standard acceptably high, tend to lessen the cost of what I known a labor turnover, By no means all thus who contribute to this cost are skilled laborer. TH great majority of those who go from place to place) seeking to better their condition are unskilled workers who hope to capi talize, in their new employment, tho smattering of technical knowledge or skill which they hav acquired. Tho worker with a trade, under uauul con ditions, prefers to remain Identified with the Industry In which he Is fa miliar with processes and person. Ilia wage scale is standardized, if he chances to belong to a labor union, and he therefore has nothing to gain but possibly much to lose by changing nia employment. This may explain the increasing tendency of wage earner to seek practical education and training In tho vocation they have chosen to enter. To meet the acknowledged need, many employer ar providing schools of Instruction In which tech nical training ia given. Men take en viable pride in the attainment of skill. W are all like that. On' commend able ambition Is to advance, to be able to do a thing today better than ho waa able to do it yesterday. It ia riot always that one seek to do a thing better tnan another 1 able to do it, although that desire la excusable, If not commendable. The determination to succeed Is sometimes confused with the aornewhqt less unselfish desire to excel. "The People's Voice EaMlerial fram roadara of Ta Morale Bao.

Until the charwomen and men who are looking after the court house ar doing ao In a very elTlrlent manner, and they r entitled to hon est employment and living wage for the duties they perform, and the thought of replacing them with prison labor Is not to my tuition. If It is the deslr to econonilxo and depopulate the Jail, th most effective way Is to giv the "chronic vagrants" and bum a shorter sentence, but ninke it a "bread and water diet."
