A WORLD SEEKING NEW LEADERS.
Seldom do to many political change occur around
tha world at cnt tima. In Knifland Donar Law and
the torits have supplanted tha Lloyd Ceorgo coU
Hon. In Italy Premier Museollnl has made his melo
dramatic lint appearance. In Germany William
Cuno, an Immensely wealthy business man, has ac
cepted the office of prime minister in the socialistic
Itovunment of President Ebert. All thete chan.es
are slmultaneoua with the American election, which
themselves made many changes In the political map.
A debatable question la whether those in whone
charge the government of nationa has been placed
are to be congratulated or condoled. The times are
out of joint and the tank of letting them rifrht is bound
to be a alow and arduoui one. Meanwhile the people
grow Impatient. The trouble In that the world
fondly told Itielf that after tho war would come
piradise. England wea to be a land "tit for heroes
to live In," and today those heroea diacover that the
only change haa been one of battlefront, the strug
gle now being with unemployment and poverty. The
breakdown of Illusion haa resulted In one political
upset after another, starting with Wilson and
Clemenceau and reaching now to Lloyd George, the
lost of the warmakcrs. ,
The situation in America Is moat easily discussed,
and is typical of the whole situation. President
Harding two years ago was appointed receiver for
the muddled affaire of America. Though he did
everything within human power, still would he be
(riticiacd for the slow progreaa of rehabilitation.
What is not generally recognized, or at leant not ad
mitted, is that the world must be given time to re
gain its balance. The gain, too, must be all along
the line It Is net poaaible for one nation to push
far ahead of the others in thla advance.
Political happiness at such times aa these con
sists largely of lack of responsibility. Criticism is
easy, and very often is right, in the abstract. But,
as Poincare has found out in France, the actual
carrying out of principles whose application seems
obvious is beset with insurmountable obstacles. The
new administration in Italy is one of protest and
criticism, and it is hard to predict success fflje it.
Though the slogan of Bonar Law in England was
"Tranquility," no such realization can be guaran
teed. It is not much of a promise that he has given,
but he and the nation will be in luck if he can meet
it, The party In the moat advantageous position in
England 1 the labor party, which is not in power,
and yet which haa strong representation 4n parlia
ment. '
The elements of radical protest are not weak
ened, but strengthened by the fact that the more
ronserrathrt parties now bear the responsibility.
-Hope is still high for the realization of some of these
dreams bred in the enthusiasm of war. That is what
the shifting about of power signifies. The search is
for new loaders.
JAZZ IN THE OLD HYMNS.
On first impulse, most churchgoers will express
themselves as wholeheartedly in favor of the elimi
nation of jazz and ragtime from the hymnals. A
campaign such aa that of Dean Peter Lutkln of
Northwestern university school of music in behalf
of really fine and noble church music will be greeted
with psalms of thanksgiving.
But when Dean Lutkin, who is a noted authority
on rellgioui music, announces the discovery that
such oldtimcrs as "I Need Thee Every Hour" and
"Oh, Mother Dear Jerusalem" are nothing but the
aheerest jazz, he risks losing popular support. These
tunes era irhworthy of the name of music, he de
clares. Even so, he is wise enough and kind enough not
to urge their complete abolishment. Instead of ruth
lessly taking them away from the elder churchgoers,
who have so long found solace in them, he resorts
only to the recommendation that Ihe young people
be taught music thut is more classical in style.
That's rather an unusual situation the elders
aligning to jazz while the youngsters are expected to
devote themselves to more dignified measures. Dr.
Simon Patten took it upon himself to revise the
words of the old hymns in order to give them
greater dignity and meaning, but his attempt had
little or no effect, and does not give great hope for
Dean Lutkin. Homely things have a way of wrap
ping themselves about the heart, while pure beauty
may often be cold and unsatisfying.
EYE. BRAIN AND ENGINE. '
A collision occurred on a Kansas railroad under
unusual circumstances. The track was straight and
level for miles, and each engine was equipped with
an electric headlight, visible for several miles. Both
engineers were killed, so that neither can tell what
he thought. After weeks of Investigation, the gov
ernment experts have despaired of solution. The
beat explanation is that furnished by the committee
from the railroad, which concludes that each engi
neer thought the other on the siding, and so pro
ceeded. This la plausible, and holds a message that should
be reflected In railroad practice. On many lines now
it ia required that headlights ft Standing engines be
dimmer. Forty years ago the headlight of a train
on the siding had ti he wholly darken. 4. Each loco
motive was furnished with curtain for this ue.
When an engineer saw a headlight he knew the en

The human brain Is severely taxed In many ways
in modern life, and in none more than driving a loco
motive. Mechanical adjuncts are all right, but even
they are subject to failure. Safety lies in the way
of bringing man and machine closer into harmony,
but without eliminating the conscious reaponaibility
of tha man, on whom finally rests security or dis
LAUGHINQ AT DEATH TO LIVE.
Modern Industry presents a perpetual paradox.
Its ways are ways of Infinite interest, sometimes
smiling with a majestic beauty, sometimes frowning
with brutal blackness, always alluring, and pos
sessed of a property for hiding the cruelly thot
lurks Just behind a thin veil, Kor man employs for
his dally service forces 'that are but partly under
stood, and the uee. of which is frequently entrusted
to those who know so little of what they are doing
they may be called blissfully ignorant. In fact, In
this' case truly ignorance is bliss, for If the unin
formed operative waa aware of the potentiality of
the force he is toying with, he might be unwilling
to touch it.
"1 am power!" shouted the "Hairy Apo." as he
gloated in the stokehold with his mates, but ho
looked at the brawn of his mighty arms and back,
totally incapable of understanding how puny his
strength compared to that contained in a single
scoop of coal he tossed Into the roaring furnace,
All duy and all night, by hundreds of thousands,
men toy with elements whose destructive capacity
is greater even than the creative effect secured from
them. It is the old story, so well dona in ephemeral
sculpture at the Columbian exposition, of Force
Controlled and Force Uncontrolled.
8o with the heroes of Induatry, Tho "cowboy
of the air," who rides the beam from the ground to
the top story of the skyacraper, gets the public eye,
for his is the more spectacular employment. Yet
millions of others work where a m Intake of a hair's
breadth means ileal h, and go about it with a Jaunti
r.ess that disarms tha onlooker. What about the
miner, who blithely goes down the aha ft, laughing
as he leaves the pit mouth, not recalling tho black
ened and distorted bodies ho lately saw removed,
the victims of subterranean mishap? Of the
worker In the chemical plunt, where a "charge"
may let looae, and obliterate an entire community,
as happened in Germany but a few months ago?
Or the men on tha engine, or the girl at a sewing
machine, where a loose belt or a broken bolt nuwns
misery if not death?
This may be carried through the entire list of
modern industry. No pains have boon spared to
provide for the safety of the workers, but no device
is absolutely positive in its workings. Nebraska is
not an induxtrial state In the general sense of tho
term, and farm operations are exempt from the
workmen's compensation law, yet for three years
an average of 1,000 industrial mishaps a month
have been handled by the state labor department
at Lincoln. Putting up structural steel is not the
only hazardous occupation known to man.

CATCHINQ STEP WITH PROGRESS.
Some critics of democracy assert that loss than
10 per cent of the citizens take any active interest
In public affairs. Those busy persona who are en
gaged in putting things over quite often are content
with this condition. Lack of individual interest is
the most discouraging feature, however, of all or
ganized work for public welfare.
What hope and encouragement is aroused, then,
as recruits to these good causes como in one by one.
There are no finer words in the language than "How
can I help?" Where ono volunteer casta oft his in
difference, puts aside the impulse to let others fight
the battles of tha common good and enlists himself
for active service, the conclusion is inspired that
there are a hundred others who stand close to the
same decision.
These movements and the problems with which
they giapplo aro not political some aro cultural or
social, others are economic and soma of them com
bine all these aspirations and more in tho design
of leaving the world better than we found it.
A woman and her achoolboy son came together
to the office of tho president of the Nebraska For
estry association the other day. She waa born in
the sand hills and had taught school there. The
barren, treeless stretches had never seemed right to
her. She found tljat pine and other timber could
be grown there, and for some time watched Inter
estedly the organized campaign for a state forestry
project. Finally she was moved to ask herself what
she could do, and with her son sho came in as a
member of tho forestry association.
This in itself is heartening. Similar incidents
are occuring in the headquarters of numerous pub-
lie movements. There are countless thousands wno
read of the activity of America's 10 per cent, agree
thoroughly with the aims of some group within it,
and who yet are content with silently and Idly winn
ing them well. It is not thus that human progress
comes, but from the men and women and the
hildren-who are not content with receiving a
message, but are willing to carry It even thovah
they may not themsclvel have had the glory or
responsibility of writing it.
Having heard from the home folks, congress may
now get down to it real work of preparing to ad
journ sine die.
