THE MIDDLE WEST AND 1924.
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.

LLOYD GEORGE'S RETIREMENT.
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

To be really effective, a law to pr'

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

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

That worry or anger Interferes with

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.

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.

would b against any such arrange
ment,, as I do not believe in having

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"

ninke it a "bread and water diet." I
will guarantee that you will get rid
