A NEW TREATY NEEDED.
Ths tour of Clemrm-rnu in Arierica hus succer-d-I
in lirinitinu the wholo quintion of thu treaty of
Versailles into public diKcuiwion. Not that the war
time premier of France has made any critlcirtm of hi
handiwork, but hia eajrernrgii to secure the asuistance
of the United States for its drastic enforcement has
Riven the subject new importance.
America has received the "TiKer," hospitably
nd attentivrly, but none the less critically. His
suKKfition of a military agreement by which the
United SUtea and Great Britain would come to the
defense of France if Germany bulked at fulfilling tho
complete terms of the treaty have aroused misgiving
and encouraged caution. The fact of its coming at
a time when the lack of harmony between the allies
in particularly in evidence at the Lausanne confer
ence is warning enough. America cannot with safe
ty to itself make an alliance with. any European
faction.
It is the world that is sick and one of the great
sources of infection is to be found in the treaty of
Versailles. There is in every country a growing de
mand for revision of this pact. It appears inevitable
that a readjustment of terms must be made, not for
the benefit of the German people alone, but for the
sake of all Europe and, indeed, of the whole world.
Though C'lt'tnenceau mentions nothing of jt, there
is a respectable section of French opinion which op
poses the hard bargain he drove at the peace table.
The Paris pnper, Le Matin, for instance, recently
published statements from a long list of French men
of letters who had served with tho colon, and who
were almost unanimous in their opposition to the
treaty. One of these made the point that any peace
agreement that allowed or gave excuse to France to
maintain 800,000 men under arms three years after
the armistice was a crime against the French na
tion. Another spoke of it as "an excellent basis for
future wars."
The impossibility of meeting the terms of the
treaty of Versailles has just resulted in the down
fall of another German cabinet. The impossibility of
enforcing the terms has resulted likewise in France
with the overthrow of one cabinet after another.
Threats of invasion from France and the uneasy fear
by the French of a Germany goaded into a war of
revenge have kept Europe in constant turmoil. The
French government, though determined to collect the
last cent of reparations from Germany, has never
theless been unwilling to allow its weakened foe to
rise to a strength that would permit of payment.
There appears to have been something fatuous
about tho inflation of German currency, but without
doubt any aid toward stabilization would be wel
comed there. This is not the old imperialism, but
a new republic, and a people chastened by defeat
A spirit of mutual aid can he counted on to accom
plish more with them than can any show of military
force. " '
"Tho main problem in Europe is not Russia, but
Germany," Eduard Benes, premier of Czecho-Slova-kia
is quoted as saying recently. "If Germany were
helped towards readjustment, Europe would really
be helping itself." From the vantage point of an
independent state in Central Europe he observes that
the trouble is that th.re has not been advanced any
definite constructive program for the rebuilding of
Europe. Genoa and all the other conferences have
failed to dispel doubt and raise confidence or even
to establish harmony between the allies. His words
are worth quoting at more length:
"When theso powers nree among themselves,
they will finally have to take the first step in the
direction of a definite understandlm? with regard to
reparations. "When .that question Is definitely and
reasonably settled, there would he a real basis for
(icrmany to start alons new economic lines. That
would also form a basis for an International loan,
and the stabilization of the German currency, which
would surely have an immediate and most neneli
cent effect everywhere and would hasten the re
establishment of peace and order In Europe."
Europe can never be restored to normal condi
tions until Germany is enabled to stabilize its af
fairs. Both for the sake of civilization and for the
peace of the world the treaty of Versailles should be
revised. If some logical arrangement for a world
conference to rewrite the terms in view of national
and international requirements is made, the United
States could with a willing heart participate
The United States, which has lent $11,000,000.
000 to European nations, in addition to several bil
lions more lent to private interests there, has a great
financial stake in the outcome. A Europe unable to
compose its differences, moderate its hatreds and
forego the unlimited satisfaction of greed and re
vengo ran not be helped from outside, and further
more constitutes menace to America. At this
time, and under these conditions, the first step in
world rehabilitation appears to call for rcv.sion of
the YerNtilles treaty.

IMPORTANT TO THE CENTRAL WEST.
The central west is deeply interested in the out
come of ths controversy between the Union Pacific
nd the Southern Tacific over the control of ths
Central Pacific. It is much more than a mere rail
road fight; in it is bound up much that may bo
glorious in the development of the country from
tho Missouri river to the foothills of the Rocky
mountains. And of especial interest is this con
troversy to northwestern Nebraska. Union Pacific
control of the Central Pacific would hasten the ex
tension of the Union Pacific's North Platte Valley
line now extending from North Platte to Yoder,
Wyo., to a junction with the main lino at Medicine
Bow, Wyo. This Medicine Bow extension would
open up a wonderful territory, eliminate some heavy
grades, and bring to Omaha's door a vast volume
of business. It would hasten the development of n
territory rich in agricultural and mineral resources
and at tho same time afford a measure of relief in
the matter of transportation charges. With the
vast traffic now diverted to the southern route, com
ing eastward over the Union Pacific, vast improve
ment in equipment would have to be made, and the
Medicine Bow cut-off would bo imperative.
There is every indication that with reviving
business and greater stability, there is due a greut
development of railroad properties in the west and
northwest. The first real railroad extension in the
west during the last ten years was the Union Pa
cific's extension of its North Platte valley line from
Gering to Yodcr, Wyo. That the management's
ultimate aim on this extension is Medicine Bow is
unquestioned.
The Burlington is evidently thinking seriously
again of a line from O'Neill to Thedford, Neb., thus
securing a direct connection between Minneapolis
and Denver and opening up a big new territory
in Nebraska. The Burlington has by no means
abandoned its Kearney-Bridgeport cut-off, and the
Union Pacific has completed surveys for a branch
line from Yoder, Wyo., or Lyman, Neb., to Cheyenne.
When building conditions permit of railroad ex
tensions, very naturally the rcntnil west will come
in for the lion's share. Tho first step towards that
end, and one that would be of incalculable benefit
to the central west, would be the control -of the
Central Pacific by the Union Pacific, and these two
systems, originally built as one great system, should
never have been divorced.
"From State and Nation"
Editorials from olher newspapers
HISTORIC ECHOES AT LAUSANNE.
Determination not to admit the Russian dele
gates to full participation in tho deliberations at
Lausanne brings up pictures of what has happened
at- other international conferences. The Congress
of Berlin, where Otto von Bismarck presided over
the bargain counter, for example, or the Congress
of Paris.
At Paris, in 1856, the neutrality of tho Dar
danelles, the Bosphorus and tho Black sea wus
agreed upon. These waterways were to be free to
all the nations of the world, and none, not even
Russia or Turkey, should maintain ships of war on
the Black sea. Russia is blamed for the violation of
this treaty, because of interference in tho internal
affairs of Turkey, which had been given a place in
the Concert of Europe. In 1877 the Treaty of San
Stefano was wrested from Turkey by Russia, and
Bulgaria was set up as a guardian of the straits. Eng
land and Austria objected, and the Congress of Ber
lin in 1878 took from Russia all it had won in war.
England gained from this congress Cyprus and Aus
tria got Bosnia and Herzegovinia, and the Russians
nothing.
Russia still yearned for the warm water port.
Denied an outlet to the Mediterranean, a push was
made across Asia to the Pacific. Vladivostok was
not the port sought, and attention was turned to
Port Arthur. Alternative to this was an outlet on
the Persian gulf. Japan checked the one, England
and Germany united to thwart the other, and when
the World war came on Russian commerce went in
and out of seaports, ice-locked through a consid
erable portion of each year, or under permission of
a rival.
England is now reported as endorsing the Amer
ican demand for the open door in the near east.
This certainly should include the freedom of the
straits. In the mandatory tendered the United
States was included the neutral zone surrounding
the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus. Some arrange
ment of this sort will have to come out of Lau
sanne, if peace is to be set up, and the settlement
will have to take due notice of Russia's rights.
On this score it should be remembered that the
Soviets can not be held to responsibility unless
granted rights; recognition may bo withheld until
the Russians accept their responsibilities, but when
that is done then all the privileges and powers of
a nation belong to them. One of these, sought with
eagerness by imperial Russia, and no less vital to
soviet Russia, is a seaport that is available twelve
months in the year.
Archbishop Glennon, at St. Louis, has just seen
a motion picture for the first time. It did not alter
his previous opinion, that they are not to be asso
ciated with education, save in a limited degree, and
that they are not great forces for moral uplift.

The American Indian's Cull lire.
From th New York Kvonlnf Mull.
No man has suffered more from
overpraise and none more from abuse
than the American Indian, lie was
no more the perfectly noblu typo
that Fenlmoro Cooper drew than ho
was the immitigable savage of other
writers.
It will help us a good deal to ap
praise him if we visit tho Museum of
American Indian opened recently
near the Museum of Natural History.
In that building the famous Ileyo
collection of Indian objects has been
gathered together. It Includes many
very beautiful things, many others
that are not so beautiful but which
are also interesting to utudents of
art, history and biology.
If you hold, like Henry Ford, that
these th.ngs are unimportant, tho mu
seum will not interest you. But If
the Rtory of man's adventure on
earth Is at all fascinating to you, you
cannot afford to neglect a visit to a
museum that tells a part of It which
has been clouded by sentiment and
prejudice and a part Intimately con
cerning the past of our own land.
A Tax on Dowries.
From ths Chicago Tribune.
AVhen the time for rewriting the in
come tax law comes around congress
would do well to insert a special tax
on tho fortunes of American women
married to Europeans.
The marriage markets recognize
that American money may purchase
baronets, counts, marquises, duke,
s.nd princes of the blood royal on a
fairly well established scale of prices.
American money is supporting many
ancestral estates and paying millions
In taxes to foreign governments. It
is even as In the case of Lord Cur
zon supporting statesmen of anti
American bent.
The money of American women
married abroad Is further used to
sway American politics in the direc
tion of the husband's country. Tho
extent of the Influence so exercised Is
evidenced by the passage by congress
and approval by President Harding of
the recently enacted "snob law,"
whereby tho American purchasers of
Kuropean titles are allowed to retain
their American citizenship.
A flat surtax of 25 per cent on the
incomes of all dowries of American
peeresses would not seem excessive.

Curds In Hie Jury Koom.
l'min tha Wadilnslen J'et.
From Hotith Dakota come, report
of H jury that determined It. verdict
by cutting cards, Many recent Jury
verdicts throughout thn country sug
gest equally Illogical methods of de
termination. A number of women
charged with murder have been re
leased on pleas that, with Jostles lov
ing e'ements of the public, really ag
gravated their offenses, others have
been found guilty of murder In tho
second degreo when they wero mani
festly guilty In tho Hist degree or
wholly Innocent.
It is a sad commentary on the
times that the honored Jury system
has In such Instance. bi n reduced to
a mere mockery of Justice, It has
come down as a heritage from a
glorious past, and should be kept un
defiled. It Is the pride, of Anglo rUixon

above reproach. Itesort to cards In
Jury rooms and abandonment to

evils that threaten to become greater.
The Immigration lYnhlmi.
From the Chsrlrntnn Nrws snd Courier.
We do not believe that thu people
of the country In general want to sen

Htates In thousands at this time. A
plentiful supply of cheap labor might
help certain Industries just now, but
only yesterday we were In the rnldst
of a serious unemployment crisis.
There are other consideration., more
over, mora Important than those of a
purely Industrial nature. We have
not been abln to absorb and properly
assimilate the foreigners we now
have, and until we havo done this, or
nt any rate learned how to do It, wn
had better not add new hundred, of
thousands to tho number of tho un-assimilattd.
Favors a Small Legislature.
from tho Almrdefta American Nawa.
Here Is 'an unexpected convert to
the Idea of a single law-making body
to legislate for the state instead of
the expensive house and senate usu
ally maintained.
Senator Norrls of Nebraska says
that he Intends to devote himself
after his retirement fiom the senate
to work for a unicameral legislature
in his state.
Ho means by this that ho favor,
this radical change In trie state gov
ernment and for the sake of better
times' in Nebraska ho will work for
reorganization of the legislature Into
a single body of a comparatively
small number of men who would bn
paid salaries as Judges aro paid and
their time would be at tho cull of the
state. He would have this legislature
nonpartisan and so exalted before tho
people that responsibility for Its act.
would always be placed directly upon
the right parties.
The idea launched here last winter
Is growing.
What a story of mother love and mother fuith is
that of Mrs. Gilinsky, who dreams of her son as an
innocent and persecuted boy, though all the world
knows him as a criminnl.
Michigan adds another senator of positive and
advanced ideas to the growing group in the upper
house of congress. Pretty soon you won't know tho
place.

The Farmer's Wife.
From tha boa Angeles Timer.
Of some 200 farmers' wives who
were asked the question what kind
of husbands they wanted for their
daughters 108 of them announced
their emphatic preference for farm
boys. The girls themselves were not
quite as unanimous. Some of them
would rather marry Bill Farnum or
Charlie Chaplin. But, In view of the
trend of tho times, it Is surprising
that o many ot tho mothers would
slill stay by the farm. They are still
of tho belief that the lad brought up
In the open and accustomed to ranch
life makes the best and most endur
ing husband. Possibly there Is some
thing in it.
