BEWARE MINORITY DICTATORSHIP,
There is need in America today for a policy of
aane progress. The necessary leadership, however,
will not be found in an artificial combination of
minority groups in the republican and democratic
party such as has just been formed in Washington.
The program drawn up in this conference contains
snnie items on which the republican party as a whole
is pretty well agreed, but for the most part the
scheme as outlined is one of obstruction. A group
representing less than 10 per cent of the people has
organized to dominate congress and embarrass the
administration. Looked at in this way the project of
this strange alliance is not apt to find the approval
of the American people.
The Omaha Bee 4s in hearty accord with sane
progressive legislation, but we believe that only
economic and political ruin can result from the suc
cessful operation of this new bloc in congress. We
believe that, regardless of any man's political af
filiations, he should support all measures that are
best for the country. We believe also that when a
man is elected as a republican he should be a re
publican, and when put in office as a democrat he
should keeep his faith with the democrats.
This allegiance to fundamental principles could
be maintained and still permit the representative to
vote for the right kind of laws without regard to
whether they are introduced by his own party or by
the opposing one. Such freedom and discretion,
however, is vastly different from the group action *
now proposed by the new alinement in Washington,
which would play off one party against the other for
the promotion of radical policies.
The passion for regulation already has gone too
far in America. The Omaha Bee is inclined to the
belief that the country would be in better shape if
aome laws were repealed rather than so many new
ones adopted. Between governmental regulation
and the growth of monopoly competition has been
stifled and initiative threatened.
Laws should be restored to put American business
on a competitive basii£ We should continue the old
policy of using the tariff as a means of protection
where protection is needed, whether in field or work
shop. Thrift and industry should he encouraged and
attempts to turn the government into a god who de
crees every human action should stop.
The right way to bring about prosperity is not
to turn the country over to he run by a minority
made up of members of both parties, headed by La
Follette. At the present time it is evident that many
democrats will line up with any group, nonpartisan
or bipartisan, to accomplish the defeat of republican
measures and discredit the republican party. They
were not so willing to abandon partisanship when
the democratic party was in power and the south was
in the saddle.
The time calls for constructive liberalism. The
firm, quiet path to progress and prosperity is much
to be preferred to the minority dictatorship that is
now proposed.
THE BOY FROM THE FARM.
He is a sturdy, rosy-cheeked boy, with a gen
erous sprinkling of freckles over and about the
most expressive features of his round, honest face.
He may have red hair, too, and, if so, that fact
only adds to the picture presented as he stands
hugging a helpless little pig to him, while he
roundly scolds the guilty looking shepherd dog
grovelling at his feet. He loves every animal on
the place, and many a time his form is shaken with
grief at parting with some favorite that he has been
allowed to call his own and pamper, until it is de
clared a nuisance and condemned to sell on the
market. What if the money is turned over to him?
Nothing but time will fill that aching void left by
the loss of his pet.
The boy from the farm is generally bashful, but
when led to forget his self-consciousness, his sen
sible conversation and knowledge of farm man
agement surprise his listeners, ^’et at school, and
in the presence of those of his age, his pranks and
mischief keep his teachers and mates guessing what;
will come next. His quickly uttered “O, boy,” “gee,”
and “heck” are expressive, for they are used to em
phasize a fact in all earnestness, not because they
are the latest expletives.
In high school this boy quickly makes friends, for
he has developed that power of responding to the
affection of others, by giving love to his compan
Ions of the farm. He is studious, for his high
school'advantages are not considered a duty but a
privilege, and his early life and training on the
farm have produced a capable mind and a strong
body, which allows of strenuous work in the study
room as well as at the “field meet,” making of him
a dreaded competitor.
DOESNT SOUND LIKE HENRY CLAY.
A student has fled from Harvard university, im
pelled by dread of what the “invisible empire” may
do to him. His name is Clay, and he is said to be
a descendant of the great Henry Clay of Kentucky.
If he is, his strain of blood has been crossed some
/ where. One finds it difficult to picture Henry Clay
fleeing from a real, let alone an imaginary terror.
Whatever else he might have been, he was a cour
ageous, stand-up fighting man, and under the Capi
tol dome, or abroad in the world, he feared no man.
“I would rather be right than be president,” was
not a boast, it was a simple and sincere statement
or his habit of thought. Cassius M. Clay, another of
the breed, left a very distinct and in some respects
luminous record along a line the youngster in ques
tion appears to have forgotten. A picture that
comes up, of old Cassius, sitting at the door of his
home, waiting for certain Kentuckians to call on
him is in vivid contrast to that of the youth who
jumped whenever} he heard the door slam, and who
finally skedaddled as fast as he could after receiv
ing a telegram. The “invisible empire” did not
make much headway when dealing with the original
Clays, however much dread it may stir up in the
breasts of the descendants of that clan
Nebraska is lowest in the list of states with re
gard to ravages of the white plague, but that is no
reason why we should have any,
PROBLEM OF DRY LAWS.
Mr. Harding’s position that a more effective en
forcement of* the Volstead law is desirable brings
sharply forward the situation as it stands. Whether
the condition is due to the laxity of effort on part
of enforcement officers, or because of unusual
adroitness of bootleggers and surreptitous dealers
generally, or owing to the indifference of the pub
lic, is not the main point. Maybe all of these causes
combine, but whatever the reason, we are told day
by day that torrents of forbidden liquor are pour
ing into the country over every border. A market
exists for this liquor, or it would not be sent here.
One of the noteworthy factors in the pres
j ent discussion is the apparent eagerness of forces
j hitherto suspected of being allied against the law
now clamoring for its rigid enforcement. The mo
tive for such a switch of tactics is easily discovered.
If it can be made to appear that the law in its pres
ent form is incapable of enforcement, then the ar
gument in favor of modifying its provisions will be
strengthened by just that much.
On the contrary, the statement made by enforce
ment officers that they are unable effectively to
cope with the illicit dispensers of forbidden liquor
might be accepted as an excuse, rather than a rea
son for more men and money. In Omaha, at least,
the courts readily co-operate with the officers, and
so far as outward evidence goes, with zeal and en
ergy to enforce the law. In these regards honors
are about even between the opposing groups.
Public interest, however, is greater than either,
and the average citizen, no matter what his views,
is amazed at the openness of the traffic that has
been outlawed. If the president’s desire is to be
attained, it will only come through a tightening up
of existing machinery, or by reason of a more cer
tain method of overtaking and punishing violators.
And here is, as was pointed out by The Omaha Bee
last week, a challenge to the dry leaders. Let them
bring forward a better way, a more workable plan,
for enforcing the law.
Bootleggers thrive, and they will not be driven
out of business by just talking to them. Admitting
that some of the responsibility belongs to the pub
lic that tolerates the traffic, chiefly the duty of en
forcing tlie law is on those who are appointed to
carry out its provisions. We are inclined to think
that the president had these in mind, and that his
aim is to reform, if necessary, the enforcement bu
reau in hopes of getting better work in the future.
A MORATORIUM FOR CHRISTMAS.
The city sheriff of Cincinnati may or may not
bo. within his legal rights, when announcing that he
will serve no writs of ejectment, no summonses of
garnishment, nor receive suits of replevin in suits
growing out of failure to pay rent or affecting the
wages of workingmen, during the holiday season
or until January 6. This moratorium is undoubt
edly for the purpose of aiding the poor people of
the city to have a celebration without the shadow
of a visit from the sheriff hanging over and mar
ring the festivities.
Something of the spirit of Christmas may be
noted in the proposed plan. Recognition of the
right of the creditor is noted, with all due em
phasis, but the appeal is to him not to enforce his
right. He will not, it is felt, suffer irreparable loss
if the day of settlement is postponed a little fur
ther, and the delay to him may mean happiness to
some who are indebted to him.
Nor is it likely the proposed plan will breed ex
travagance among the poor. Cincinnati has, in
common with all great cities, a percentage of in
digent who are improvident as well; nothing will
help these. It also has a large number of deserv
ing poor, whose holidays will amount to but little,
unless some help is given them. Sickness, accident,
unemployment, any one of the many mischances of
fortune, may have left them in debt, behind in ac
counts they are expected to pay and intend to pay.
For these Christmas will be a drab affair, unless
they can have a respite, and be permitted to use a
little of their scant supply of cash to give the day
a touch of brightness, rather than to turn it over
to a creditor, and have for their holiday feast the
recollection that they have paid one more install
ment on the bill that presses so hard.
A rich man’s turkey will taste a little better, if
it be accompanied by the thought that he has made
the day more pleasant for a debtor by simply put
ting off collection.

Youthful Bad Manners
From the Indianapolis News.
There Is an increased demand for education which
does not come wholly from those who crowd the high
schools and colt. ges. Knowledge Is being shipped by
parcel post, first-class mall and express. There is a
tremendous increase in the sale of books advertised
as certain transfers from what is termed the low brow
to the cultured class. Everywhere are seen adver
tisements of works on etiquet and nowhere is there
greater need for it than in the street cars. One trouble
is with the very young men whose devotion to very
young girls makes them feel that, if they have seats
next to them they must not relinquish them, no mat
ter how old the man or woman who hangs from a strap
In front of them. Each moment Is precious, of course.
The whispered conversation is Important, else the girl
would not giggle so much, and so these boys forget
common courtesy and even their Boy Scout training.
The other morning several elderly women stood In a
street car. Before them sat such a young man and
such a girl. A civil war veteran got on the car with
his wife. Two women got up and gave them seals.
The veteran's wife remarked that he is 82 years old.
The boy and the girl heard what was said. They
looked up a moment, saw what was happening, then
resumed their gabble. The veteran's wife may have
summed up the situation by the remark she made
j when another young woman gave her a seat. “You
; show your raisin’," she said. The boy did not—If he
| had any.
“From State and Nation”
—Editorials from other newspapers—
Scandals of Volsteadlam.
From the Boston Transcript.
We must discriminate between pro
hibition as described by the Consti
tution and prohibition aa defined in
the Volstead enforcement act, and we
must again discriminate between the
Volstead act and the manner* and
methods of its application. If many
people are opposed to prohibition per
se, still more are doubtless opposed
to the extreme and ill-considered pro
visions of the enforcement act, while
we should think that every right
thinking citizen would revolt at many
of the performances of those who un
dertake or profess to administer the
law. We have seldom known the con
duct of any considerable number of
important public functionaries to be
denounced in langunge so scathing ns
that which Mr. William Dudley
Foulke. vice president of the National
Civil Service Reform league, uses in
relation to the men who have been
enforcing the Volstead act: nor have
we known any case in which such
strictures were more richly deserved.
"The one thing that contributed
most effectively to the republican de
feat, especially in the east." says Mr.
Coulke, "was the universal disgust
1th the abominable corruption and
inefficiency of those charged with the
enforcement of prohibition. . . .
The service has been permeated from
top to bottom with as precious a set
of unmitigated scoundrels as ever trod
the earth."
Strong as this language Is. It has
been abundantly warranted by nu
merous items in the dally press for
months past. It will be recalled that
in New York City the enforcement
campaign was begun with the delib
erate and wantoij "shooting up" of
a restaurant on one of the principal
thoroughfares, in the most approved
"Wild West" fashion. Since then
there have been innumerable cases of
violent entrance and search of pri
vate residences without warrant, and
even the invasion of the bed chamber*
and dressing rooms of women, at
times when the occupants were un
clad. In many other cases it has
Iteen Impossible to avoid the convic
tion that the "enforcement" officers
were confederates of bootleggers, or
were simply blackmailers.
The cause of. or at least the oppor
tunity for. this disgraceful state of
affairs is plausibly declared by Mr.
Foulke to he the exemption of all the
enforcement service from the civil
service law, thus "making all these
places mere political spoils
the mere plunder of congressmen.
Many of these congressmen." he con
tinues, "recommended meh urged
upon them by bootlegging constit
uents." It should certainly have been
apparent at the outset that men
charged with so important and deli
cate a task as the enforcement of a
sumptuary law affecting the domestic
lives of the people and invading the
intimacies of social and family life
should have been chosen with the
most scrupulous care, under the
strongest possible safeguards. We
should have thought that the
protagonists of prohibition them
selves would have Insisted that all
their enforcement agents should he
appointed only after the most search
ing civil service examination. That
they did not do so is a grave reproach
upon them, and if it even excites sus
picion concerning their motives in
such omission, they can have only
themselves to Djame.
Certainly. Mr. Foulke’s words must
be taken to heart. Whether the Vol
stead act stands or is amended or
repealed, the method of its enforce
ment. as long as it remains on the
statute book, cries to heaven for
drastic reform. It is time for the
advocates of prohibition to realize,
says Mr. Foulke, and we add that it
is time for all decent citizens to real
ize. that a great moral reform cannot
be accomplished by means which are
essentially immoral and detestable.
The "drys* 'and the "wets" alike
ought unhesitatingly to give every
possible effort "to clean this foul
plague spot in our government."

Just Like Finnegan.
From the Bloax City Tribune.
No one ever illuetrated to better ad
vantage than the Tiernana the idea
embodied in that celebrated dispatch
which read: "Off again, on again,
gone again. Finnegan." The South
Bend (Ind.), family torn asunder by
a sensational paternity case so mor
bid that it attracted the whole coun
tryside, then reported reconciled only
to be broken up again by divorce, fol
lowing which the ex-husband married
another woman only to find his decree
set aside and his second marriage
automatically annulled, and Anally
reunited once more with the princi
pals vowing to start life over again,
has won the capital prize for Incon
atancy. Inconsistency and insipidity.
By this time the Tiernans are so tan
gled up that a wondering world can
not possibly know what eventually
will come out of their mixed troubles.
Mr. Tlernan—if he had not been so
vacillating in the past—might now
give the public a ray of hope when
he says, "This Is absolutely the last
chapter." but It Is a suspicious pub
lice and will not trust him very far.
The public could be expected to hope
"the final chapter1, had been written
in the Tlernan story, but. unlike Mr.
Finnegan, who could look and see
whether the trucks were on or off
the tracks, is at a decided disadvan
tage. It only can guess, and, judg
ing from past events, it is just as
likely to guess wrong as right the
next chance it takes at solving the
Tlernan puzzle.
Evening Suits.
Fred C. Kelly In Collier'* Weekly.
Isn't it possible that there is more
harm in wearing evening suits than
people generally realize? The trou
ble ig that one cannot put on an eve
ning suit without also putting on
evening suit thoughts. As soon as
you get into evening dress you begin
to feel fashionable if not snobbish.
And uniform tends to rob one of his
own personality—whether the uni
form Is black broadcloth or army
khaki. Surely no man capable of in
dependent thought ever wore an eve
ning suit except under some form of
duress. A sensible person dislikes to
do anything foolish merely because
It is customary.
It does not take much erudition to
appreciate that the standardized male
evening suit is illogical In design, un
lovely. undemocratic and generally
,reprehensible. If one must wear de
grading garments with absurd tails,
why not at least have different col
ars? Would there be any sound ob
jection to an evening suit of navy
blue? But is there any rational argu
ment in favor of maintaining evening
suits at all? Anybody able to look
facts in the face must recognize that
the garments comprising male eve
ning dress detract from a man's Indi
viduality. make him look ridiculous,
and should be abolished.
When Will They Learn?
From the Nebraska City Press.
Two Omaha girls, attending •
dance, accepted the invitation of two
strangers to "ride home" In an auto
mobile. In a few minutes one of the
girls, repulsing the udvances of a
stranger, jumped or was thrown from
the car, sustaining injuries which may
leave her a cripple for life. Her com
panion leaped when the chum left the
car and was also injured. The courtly
and gentlemanly strangers spend on,
probably giving the incident only a
passing thought, chagrined, if at all,
only because their aims had failed of
accomplishment. When will girls
learn not to accept the honeyed Invi
tations of a motorist whose face they
have never seen before? Do girls be
lieve everything they are told and are
they so self-centered and optimistic
a« to believe that their company is
desired merely for the ride? When
girls learn these things there will be
fewer tragedies of the sort hinted at
and one form of human beast will
have been forced to seek some other
method of "getting acquainted" with
young women.

Irrigation in Nebraska.
Lexington. Neb.—To the Editor of
The Omaha Bee: Individual and there
fore community and natlonul, happi
ness centers on prosperity and thrift.
A person will work when he is justly
compensated and saving money. In
raising a community's material base,
its happiness is promoted and inter
est in civic matters, homes, educa
tion and families is stimulated. These
statements are borne out in history,
as witness the rise and fall in civili
zation of Egypt and China, which was
in direct proportion to the rise and
fall of their basic industry, agricul
ture. The wonderful advances in the
arts made by those countries were
during the progressive advances in
agriculture when the most wonderful
irrigation and drainage systems the
world has ever known were function
ing. Of what advantage or use are
artists, musicians, electricians and
engineers when their services are not
in demand. They must eat and les
setujd demand for their services
causes lower wages and thereby trou
ble. as Is evidenced by recent strike
developments.
Germany, in collecting her re
sources after the war of 1870 immed
iately started to raise her wheat pro
duction from nine bushels per acre
to 35 bushels per acre, or, in other
words, helped the farmers to become
prosperous. World-wide manufactur
ing and export firms, music and other
schools naturally followed. Popula
tion increased abnormally, as prosper
ous people can afford large families.
Our own population increased in 1790
from 3.929,000 to 12.866.000 in 1830,
immigration and importation of slaves
being negligible, being only 300,000,
and farming was almost wholly our
only industry.
Nebraska is purely, wholly and un
qualifiedly an agricultural state. Yet
in a large number of our so-called
older farmer counties, the population
has decreased, as is shown by the last
census figures. The young farmer
with present day conditions to meet
can see no future in raising nine
bushels of wheat to the acre (and
other crops in proportion). Are our
agricultural schools a failure? Prices
are not a question In point, as aver
ages show cost of production adjusts
Itself with the selling price. Average
normal birth increase Is approximate
ly 7 per rent. Under present condi
tions, Nebraska agriculture cannot
keep peace with this increased de
mand.
A great portion of Nebraska Is
semi-arld, the degree varying with
the distance from the Missouri river.
Tests show that in most parts of the
state, soil cannot be fertilized either
by rotation or commercial fertilizer
without drying out the succeeding
crop, without irrigation or abnormal
moisture. Production cannot be In
creased therefore in these semi-arid
portions without irrigation. Thought
ful and far-seeing business men and
farmers should keep themselves
posted on this subject, especially the
chambers of commerce and farm bu
reaus, and lend material help and en
couragement in every way to the
pending irrigation projects out in the
state, as our future must depend on
this stimulation of agriculture.

The Varmint.
From tho old house on the hill
we children heard the cry of the Var
mint;
it cried from the hollow near the
graveyard
where our kin were sleeping;
We ran to our mothers before the
great fireplace
where they huddled and talked In low
tonee;
For their men were out riding under
the sick moon
riding in the black woods beyond the
tombstones;
The hounds ran before them buying—
baying and trailing the Varmint;
Then the Varmint screamed near the
orchard—
screamed from the moon-washed hill;
And the dead rose up In the grave
yard
watching the race from the shadows;
And we children crouched in the
chimney corner
crying with the cry of the Varmint:
But our mothers put us to bed in the
attic
out of reach of the Varmint . . .
Dawn dipped into the c.ark woods
and the echo of the hounds was no
more;
And our fathers rode up from the
lowlands
on horses that staggered;
And the hounds lagged far to the rear
panting and clawing at burrs;
Then the dead stole back to their
lichen and moss,
content to be dead. ABORIGINE.

"Today as I stand at his tomb I

What Mr. Lincoln really said was:
. But, in a larger sense, we can
not dedicate, we cannot consecrate,
we cannot hallow this ground. The
brave men, living and dead, who
struggled hero have consecrated It
far above our poor power to add or
detract. ... It is for us, the living,
rather to be dedicated here to the
unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far so nobly
advanced. . .
