Editorials from other newspapm
LET CLEMENCEAU TELL IT TO FRANCE,
Americans huvc not loot any of their symputhy
with forcigu peoples. They are as willing as ever
to co-operatu fur the common good of mankind. .
No "but" or "however" about this. A constant
nirc'um of contributions has been directed across
the Atlantic for the relief of men, women and chil
dren to whom the close of the war brought neither
peace nor safety. America's good will was demon
strated only a short time ajjo in the raising of a
large sum for the rehabilitation of the devastated
region of northern France. It is not alone with
food and money that America has helped. Repeat
edly the influence of our government has been ex
erted to guide Europe out of the chaos that it has
made of its affairs.
Nothing short of a surrender of our national
sovereignty and a pledge of Anat,cial and military
xupporl for the selfish or mistaken aims of these
overseas nation has been withheld. The force of
America's example, seeking no spoils of war, main
taining its own independence yet not seeking to
impose any scheme for national advantage on
weaker states, diminishing its armament and living
within its income, will in time make itself felt
throughout the world.
It is only because America has preserved itself
free and untrammelled that it is in a position to be
of real service to the human race. The same high
principles that led to its entrance into the world
war and to its refusal to share in the plunder of
peace still serve as its guide amid the turmoil and
tumult into which civilization has been flung.
Clemenceau, the war premier of France, see
with his aged eyes the dangers that confront Euro
pean peace without perceiving their causes. He
has come to America with a feeling of resentment
in hie heart, declaring that although we had a large
part in shaping the terms of peace we have not
done our share in carrying them out. This asser
tion is based .on two things the failure to join the
League of Nations and the ignoring of President
Wilson's vague promise to arrange a triple alliance
between the United States, Great Britain and
France, The League, he says frankly, is not a
means Of preventing war, but a means of arranging
matters and deferring open conflict. His main
hope appears to lie in a military alliance by which
the German people would be given to understand
that France was sure of the backing of Ameri
can soldiers.
"But' a people may be great one day and email
and mean another," this veteran French statesman
declares. (Though he applies this, thought to Amer
icans, yet it fits the case of postwar France much
better. America stands today as friendly to the
French people as ever, hopeful of their democratic
instincts and unselfishly interested in their welfare.
Our faith in their statesmen, however, was severely
shaken by the conferences after the war, when
these were revealed shamelessly jockeying and
trading for imperialistic advantages.
This unfavorable impression of French diplom
acy was heightened by the obstructions placed in
the way of the disarmament conference called in
Washington by President Harding. More recently
the encouragement given Turkish aggression by the
Paris government has cast a cloud over the world
fvtlook.
'
It is not much to be wondered at that Clemen
eau now pleads for America to help France out of
the predicament into which its policies have plunged
It He speaks of the peril of an alliance between
Turkey and Russia and refers to the conflicting
schemes of England and France. He brings out
also the bugaboo of the French fear of German re
venge. Toward this latter the general American
opinion is that only a wide imagination or an uneasy
conscience could picture the German republic, freed
from the kaiser and relieved of militarism, abandon
ing its tank of industrial recovery to engage in a new
conflict such as that which brought destruction- to
its normal life and that of all Europe.
Clemenceau will learn from his visit here that
America firmly believes the German indemnity
should be paid, just as it believes that France
should repay its loan from, the United States. He
will find also that America is not consumed with
bate for any foreign people, that it has given to
relieve the suffering of the children of Germany
and Austria as well as those of France, Poland,
Kunsia, Belgium. Amenia and elsewhere. Our policy
iii not one of isolation, but of helpfulness, by which
U meant not the encouragement of international
suspicion, strife or oppreion, hut encouragement
for rvery wove toward peace and justice and mercy.
This tour of the "Tiifer" may result In rreat
good. The bent ftt, however, is not to be expected
from what he says in his speech, but from what
he hear. When he returns to the homeland he
I ive sa welt, he will, if he iWrra, be able to e.
,lain tS lpolnt of America. The matter mut
i mmlt4 there-- it can not be patched op here.

ON LIFE'S SCRUB TEAM. ,
When the 'football hero "boots the ball" and
i-ends it squarely over the bar and between the
posts, cheers for him split the air, and his name re
sounds over the field. On the sporting pages, the
cuts of the brilliant quarterback or the wonderful
end or tackle greet the eyes of all, and headlines
sing the praises of the squad. This is well.
Whoever stops to think of the . fellow who is
making all this possible the man who ia a step too
slow or a pound too light, to make the "varsity,"
and who is doomed to the scrub team for his foot
ball? He will never wear a "letter," yet day after
day he goes at the call of the coach, takes the bat
tering and endures with patience all the buffets
and mishaps of the scrimmage, that the players of
the big team may bo kept in shape by having the
meat of the less capable men to feed on. Is not
some share of glory duo to him and to his fellows?
Or, do they ever get It, even from the school?
All through life this tragedy extends the trag
edy of the "scrub" team. No hero is thrust high
into the clear air above the crowd, but is supported
by those who but for some fraction of fate might
have won the glory for themselves. This is not to
detract from the reward of the winner, just to call
attention to the existence of the runner-up, the
man who made the victory .possible, the unsung, un
noticed scrub, without whom the stars might find
conditipns vastly different.
There is no "second money" in a jack-pot, and
scrub teams usually turn to the dictionary when in
search of "sympathy," but their loyalty and devoted-
ness is one of the finest features of college life.
Some day a coach or athletic director will insist
on having a monument set up for the acrubs.
THE AGRICULTURAL LADDER.
Magazines never cease to quote business men on
the way they climbed, rung by rung to success, but.
not much is heard of the agricultural ladder by
which the average successful farmer mounts to
ownership of his land. Kenyon Butterfield, presi
dent of the Country Life association, gives these
rteps as follows:
"This 'uiiMer' is composed of five different sti'ps.
The fli-Ht atep is the home worker, or helping the
parents run the farm. From there the protective
owner hires unit to the neighbor; then ho become
a tenant or farm renter. The next step Is as mort
gage owner, and finally he comes out as afull
fledged farm owner. Hut the averatje farmer. Is
betwet-n 50 and 60 years of age when he comes to
the stage of owning his own farm."
Government records show that of "2,112 farm
owners in five states Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas,
Illinois and Minnesota one-fifth of them had to
climb the entire ladder beore becoming farm, own
ers. Thirteen per cent skipped the hiring out class;
32 per cent missed being tenants and 34 per cent
inherited farms.
The greatest problem for the farmer of the fu
ture, Mr. Butterfield concludes, is to avoid halting
at the tenant class. "It is only a question of time
before the farmer of the future will be Renting ex
clusively, at the present rate of increase of ten
ancy," he declares, "this will mean that individ
uals will own great tracts of land and then rent out
small portions to the tenants."
This warning i one that is frequently heard,
but the dangers of which it speaks are probably ex
aggerated. Speculation in land, running prices up
beyond the possibilities of production, lack of credit
and unfavorable markets are menaces to agricul
ture and tend to develop tenancy. However, a
glance at the agricultural ladder shows that rent-'
ing a farm is one of the usual preliminaries to
climbing into the farm owning class.
SOVEREIGN STATE AND THE KLAN.
The presence of Governor Parkef in Washing
ton on the -remarkable mission disclosed in dis
patches from the capital must shock Americans.
The' spectacle of the governor of a sovereign state
appealing to the-president of the United States for
assistance and protection against citizens of that
state is so novel as to deserve attention.
The first impulse would be to tell Governor
Parker to go home and administer the affairs of his
state according to its laws, and, if unable to do so,
to resign his office to more capable hands. Perhaps
the president feels sorry for the predicament of a
governor who admits his inability to preserve peace
and order in his own state. Governor Parker is
undoubtedly bedeviled by the "invisible empire,"
but the people of his state have risen to meet simi
lar situations in the past, and very likely could do
so again if they were appealed to. They may be
counted on to resent any invasion of the state by
federal troops until the local authorities have ex
hausted every possible means to enforce the laws
and preserve order.
The Omaha Hee does not believe that this coun
try has any place for the "invisible empire," or
that the activities of the Klan or any secret so
ciety are required to uphold the law. Our laws
are enacted by representatives of the people, sit
ting openly. Administration and enforcement of
these laws are entrusted to officers selected by the
people. Unless these are permitted to function ac
cording to the plans and provisions of the Consti
tutiun, then popular government is a failure, and
all the secret ogniations that coultl be formed
will not save it.

Co-operative Movement Growing.
From th Nw Impubljc.
Other democratic Impulses have
been checked temporarily by the bur
den of postwar dlatrexH and reaction,
That la not true of the co-operatlvo
movement. The co-operators of Great
Britain and Germany, of France and
Italy are more numerous, better or
ganized and more powerful than they
were before the war. This membership
represents a third of the households
of Great Britain und not much less
than a quarter of that of Germany.
All told, the co-operators of the west
ern world number 30,000,000 and more.
The meaning of this will escape no
one who stops to think about'lt. Co
operation is the most general form of
economic democracy. It ia all env
bracing.. There are no cliques and
clans In the movement. It strength'
ens the poaltton of all its adherents,
out most or nil the clusses which, un
organized, are most exposed to op
presslon and exploitation. What It Is
capable of accomplishing is demon
strated clearly in countries like Den
mark and Switzerland, where it has
permeated the whole social structure.
The obstacles to Industrial, social and
political democracy have crumbled un
der the force of the triumphant co
operative movement.
Christianity Against War,
From th National Human Revlw.
One of the great things which the
Federated Council of the Churches of
Christ in America has undertaken has
been to array the American people
against war. It has declared that.
we believe the nations achieve true
welfare, greatness and honor, only
through just and unselfish service."
The further statement Is made that
we believe that Christian patriotism
demands the practice of good will be
tween nations and that international
law should be universally adopted. In
Its declaration of principles, It finally
declares, "We believe in a warless
world and dedicate ourselves to its
achievement." To attain this end a
sweeping reduction of armaments by
all nations Is advocated.
Statistics show that nearly 13,000,-
000 sodlers were killed during the
great war and that more than this
number of civilians died- because of
causes due directly to the war, mak
ing a total of nearly 26.000,000 human
lives extinguished by this wicked con
flict. What a cost! It has been shown
that the United States will save by
the naval holiday nearly $5,000,000,
800; that the war expenses mounted
to over $5,000,000,000 for 1920 and
1921. American expenditures during
the great European conflict caused
the dlubursement of over $44,000,000,
000. National debts have mounted
up to unparalleled proportions. The
nations have suffered. Industry and
commerce have been shattered. There
is every reason why Americans should
.eschew w'ar.
As has been wisely said, "The world
war was won only by International
unity of purpose and action. A war
less world can be achieved only by
like unity of millions of peacemak
ers." Every humanitarian and every
other conscientious and intelligent
person ought to back the churches to
the utmost in their efforts to abolish
war. W. O. S.

"CHANGING MOODS," hy Oeors Kllliton.
Fubllah'J by Stewart, Kldd & Co,
Verses human, appealing, some
times whimsical, always charming, go
to make up this llttlo book. They
mirror the Inner life, the "changing
moods of the modern young woman
busy, healthful, successful In her
career. They are essentially per
sonal after reading them one has a
clear mental picture of George Kills
ton, newspaper woman. This little
volume is the successor to the well
received "Everyday Poems" of last
fall and should meet with an apprecia
tive reception. The following poem,
'Blue Hollyhocks, is one of the many
charming lyrics of the collection,
showing the lighter, whinislcal strain:
If only th world was nw
They'd made eome hollyhock In blue,
My garden plot would be perfection.
I Ilk tli pink ones very mu'h.
And red one give a gorgeous touch.
But oh, for a hollyhock aky-blue.
Can't you see them on the atatlf,
Extra stately, there by tha walk,
With a heavenly trellla of white behind?
Hollyhocks white and hollyhocks red,
Ar wonderful things for a flower bed;
But a hollyhock blue oh, heart desire!
Hollyhock rfd are vivid fire.
And of hollyhock yellow I never tire.
HoJlyhocka one and all I love.
But a hollyhock mirroring the blue of the

Currency Contraction.
Omaha. To the Editor of The
Omaha Hee: We are being told dally
by the banking interests that pros
perity is Just around the corner,
ana tne federal iteservn bank re
ports that there, is $27,892,387,000 de
posited in the banks of the United
Htates. But we still have with u the
"trugedy of artilk-ial deflation." And
through this process of deflation of
the currency, the public has stooped
buying, business collapsed, Arms have
closed their doors, and we have tho
greatest roll of unemployed since the
nungry '40s.
Neither free traders nor tariff re
formers seem to have understood that
our present period of social misery is
directly attributable to tho Federal
Reserve's system of cont-act.lon of
the money supplies. During the pe
riod of May 28, 1920, to Junilary 25,
1922, in contraction of credits the
Federal Heserve bank took $2,005,
149,000 out of circulation, and this
was the cause of our present eco
nomic distress,.
According to the treasury's state
ment, the actual money in existence
July 1, 1922, was $3,858,543,202 In gold
coin and bullion; subsidiary coinage
amounting to $270,701,710; green
backs $346,8x1,016, aftd national bank
notes $739,705,549, and Federal Re
serve notes amounting to $2,603. 730,
960. According to the report. $3,591,-
1.652 is held in the treasury, and
n326,809,969 held In the Federal Re
serve banks, leaving for circulation
purposes $4,393,506,927, and this is di
vided up amongst 30,000 banks in
the United States, who carry 15 per
cent of its deposits in reserve.
Hoarders are many of the estima
ted free money available for business,
but, taking the above figures, we find
the actual per capita circulating me
dium to be $20.90. Considering the
$70 per capita circulation during the
war, It Is little wonder that business 1
Is stagnant at this time. We should
