"I don’t mind for myself, but I have a wife and family to consider,” an Illinois farmer said when asked to testify in the Herrin mine riot trial. Such is the atmosphere of terrorism that clings about the case that this witness feared to contribute his part to the cause of justice. He had seen one of the defendants in the crowd of maddened miners that was leading over a score of captured strikebreakers out into the country where later their bodies were found. He had, more over, heard this defendant talking, but when the prosecution asked what it was that he*4ieard, he ap pealed to the judge for permisson to remain silent. It was then that the judge's command drew from him a vital piece of testimony. What the accused had said was, "We ought to take these men out and kill them.” Hefore going on the stand this fanner had wept and begged to he spared from appearing. No doubt he still is in a condition of terror over the possibil ity of reprisals. After the slaughter of Herrin it is easy to understand this. Such a desperate condition ought not to exist in any part of America. Public sentiment should rally to the support of the courts and free legal proceed ings from the menace of gang rule. The least thought or intimation of revenge on a witness in any trial should be eliminated from the search for truth and justice. The worst that can be said of the crime of Herrin is capped by the fact that witnesses fear for their lives. This is not a solitary instance, for the same con dition crops up from time to time in other cases, though not in such a noticeable way. It does not matter whether the malign influence for silence when a crime is committed is exerted by the black hand or by the blaek hand impulse masquerading in the guise of union labor. Violence and terror ism must he put down wherever it is found. Or ganized labor owes no support to those who com mitted the massacre in the mine field, and it should make clear its repugnance to all such methods. The public generally should stand firmly behind the bulwarks of law and order that protect civilization. If America is in reality what patriotism hails it for, that farmer in southern Illinois should rest easy in the consciousness of having performed a public duty for which he can neither he criticised nor harmed. HELP FOR THE FARMERS The farmers under the government controlled ir rigation projects in western Nebraska, and doubtless under similar projects elsewhere, must have speedy relief in the way of extension of water payments and a decrease in the price of the water. It was only natural-that in the first enthusiasm of getting water on their land the farmers should be too op timistic about their ability to pay. The first agree ment was to pay the cost of construction in ten years, but it did not take long to ascertain that this was impossible, and then began the long fight to secure extensions. Twenty years was finally se cured, and now it is very evident that this time will not be sufficient. Unless thg time is further extended many of these farmers will be dispos sessed. • It seems difficult to make the general public un derstand that irrigation projects are not paid for out of the public treasury. Homesteaders seeking to wrest a home from the wilderness are not treated with the same consideration shown those who own farms in the Mississippi valley. The western home steader or farmer who wants water on his land has to pay for it. The Mississippi valley farmer who wants the flood waters kept from his land finds a beneficent government ready to perform the work and foot the bills. In the case of the farmer who wants irrigation the government performs the work, advances the money, and takes a mortgage upon the land irrigated. This being the case, there is no reason why the irrigation farmer should not be given ample time in which to pay, for pay he must. Farmers under the irrigation canals in western Nebraska are asking for relief in the way of ex tension of payments, and for a reduction in costs. They arc clearly entitled to this relief, and the reclamation department should not be slow in grant ing it. If congressional authority is needed, then congvess would do well to act speedily. VULCAN DOING A COMEBACK. A cartoon that touched many a memory was the one showing a couple of boys at the door of an old fashioned blacksmith shop, with a sled they wanted mended. The surface thought of the cartoon is that the smith today is putting on tires and filling gas tanks for tourists. But the help wanted columns of the Sunday papers tell another story. In them we noted several advertisements that would have been familiar enough a score or more qf years ago. They expressed the pressing W'ant of competent black smiths, men who can sharpen plows, shoe horses, do woodwork, who are good workmen, and to such steady employment is promised. Machinery has done wonders on the farm, and the self-propelled vehicle has displaced the horse to a considerable extent. But nobody can take the place of a blacksmith when it comes to sharpening a plow, or to fixing a wagon, or for any of the myriad of uses to which iron and wood are put around the farm. When the services of a black smith are needed, only a good workman is wanted. And the blacksmith who really is a good workman is also an artist. Another thing to be noted in this connection is that the present demand for the blacksmith is a hopeful sign. It means that preparedness is the order of the day. and, although spring plowing is yet some time ahead, those who plan on doing any are getting ready. Vulcan is doing a come-back in Nebraska. Senator Capper is planning to break up the habit of pistol-toting in Washington. If he succeeds, ether communities will probably compete for his servicea. WHAT ONE YOUNG COW DID. I.a Verna Lincoln’s death has been announced twice in the news columns of The Omaha Bee, a most unusual distinction for a cow. But La Verna Lincoln was an unusual cow. She was the cham pion butter producer of her day, just as her mother before her was champion. The latest death notice describes La Verna Lincoln as large and awkward, even for a cow. She did not give promise of her talents when she was yet a young lady cow, and her, lack of graces left her with no claim to notice. In the etiquet of the Holstein cow, however, “handsome is as handsome does” rules, and this now distinguished representa tive of the race set about several years ago to turn out records' in the way of producing milk and butterfat. * When she was 2 years and 10 months old her yearly record was 14,374.7 pounds of milk, and 483.4 pounds of butterfat, equivalent to 604.25 pounds of butter. In her eight years and ten months of life, La Verna Lincoln produced 104,570.7 pounds of milk, and butterfat equal to 5,484.49 pounds of butter. That is, assuming her weight to be 1,200 pounds, she brought forth nine times her own weight in milk and more than half her weight in butter each year of her life. Had she been butchered as a 2-year-old, she ' would probably have dressed 800 pounds of mer chantable food; that year she actually furnished i 14,374.7 pounds of milk and 604.25 pounds of butter. 1 In addition 4to her other activities, La Verna Lincoln contributed calves to the perpetuation of I the milk-making machinery of the world. Five of I her daughters are carrying on, making records of their own in the same line of endeavor, and the youngest, now a baby calf, will some day be in the same good work. The other of her six offspring is the father of numerous progeny at the North Platte experiment station. La Verna Lincoln was a champion, but also she was an example, one great argument in favor of ; dairy farming and thoroughbred stock. - I A ROMANCE OF OLD AGE. ! Young love thinks of life as impossible for pne without the other. As the years wear on this feel ing of attachment and mutual dependence may grow weaker or stronger. The story of the death of an aged couple in Omaha within two days of each other exemplifies how strong the bond may be, and how reality sometimes coincides with sentiment. “We lived our share and I don’t think I care to go on without him," said the faithful wife, broken down with long watching at the bedside of her hus bund. And now there will be a double funeral. One of the heroic figures of the Titanic disaster was another such wife, Mrs. Straus. When the i women were being helped to the lifeboats, she took | her stand on the sloping deck w;th her husband, choosing death with him rather than life alone. The world asks no such sacrifice. The oriental custom of suttee, by which the widow is cremated on her husband’s funeral pyre is not for a moment endorsed by western sentiment or convention. Yet when the bonds of companionship are so strong that death itself can not break them, the ordinary world, filled with examples of couples who seek through divorce the separation otherwise impossi ble, pauses to marvel. In their trials and tribulations this aged Omaha pair may have thought all romance had been squeezed out of life, and yet with their death, ro mance lives again. , Nebraska can hardly spend ,$6,000 better than in helping to carry on the lakes-to-ocean canal promo tion work. It is literally bread cast on the waters, and the return on a single crop of wheat will be many times the amount. Fiance is showing the ability to help itself, all right, but not the right sort. And as long as it helps itself thus, it cannot count on the aid of other na tions. Mailing by machinery will also help Uncle Hu bert Work to extend the service of the postofficc without increasing the cost. No one will doubt but that Samuel Untermeyer knows a trick when he sees it, whether he practices it or not. Is Lieutenant Governor Barrows doing it for the fun of the thing or to establish a precedent? Santa Claus need not worry over the effort to abolish him in Moscow. The told snap gave the firemen plenty of ex ercise. Last week for Christmas shopping; get busy. Radio and International Politics ’ '""tValdemar Kaempffert, In Asia."""”" The development of radio In the Orient is so inextrica bly bound tip with international politics, treaty rights, the League of Nations. Japanese. French and British ambitions, spheres of interest, leuses and concessions that it will take more than one conference of the powers to clear up the muddle. In China, for example, the Japanese and the principal western governments have done very much as they pleased, with little regard for China's sovereign rights. Indeed, the situation created has become so irksome that at the Washington con ference the Chinese endeavored to assert their para mount rights to their own ether. China is threatened with a swarm of small and large competing radio com panies. At the instance of IQlihu Root and Senator Underwood, a resolution was finally adopted which ex pressed the view that the radio stations erected by legations, concessionaires, and lessees were merely “suffered” by the Chinese government and that China had not surrendered her right to demand their removal and transference to herself. In other words, China was po litely permitted to continue in her "suffering.-’ The United States navy is permitted by law to use its radio stations until June, 1925, for press and com mercial messages and is therefore in direct competition with tile private radio companies. The press rate of the private companies between California and Hawaii is 5 cents a word—the cheapest In the world for the dis tance; the navy rate over the same rout,e Is 3 cenU. The navy sends radio messages across the Pacific by way of Honolulu. Guam and Cavite to the Samoan. Society and Fiji islands, French Indo-China and the Dutch East Indies and to Japan (by cable). At present there is no direct radio communication between Asia and the United States. The Chinese gov* ernment, realizing Its own Inability to erect a station sufficiently powerful, has contracted with the Radio Corporation of America and the Federal Telegraph com pany of California to provide adequate facilties for radio communication. A transoceanic station is to be erected at Shanghai and subsidiary or "feeder” stations at Har bin. Pekin and Cajiton, and ail are to be free of Japanese and British censorship. The total cost of these stations Is to be $13,000,009. of which the Chinese government will pay half. Ultimately the Chinese government will acquire these stations. The stations are to be completed in two or three years. Regular radio service from the United States is now maintained with the Hawaiian ,s lands and Japan. The Hawaiian station is owned by the Radio Corporation of America and serves to relay mes sages to Japan; the Japanese transpacific station, on the other hand. Is owned by the Japanese government. “From State and Nation” —Editorials from other newspapers— The World Policeman. From th« Si Paul Pioneer Free*. At the risk of unintentionally of fending a class of persons whom we hold In the greatest esteem, we are bound to take exception to Hr. Ed ward C. Moore's expressions on the subject of American foreign policy in a recent address before the Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. Dr. Moore, in common with a great many others, believes that it is the duty of the United States to become the international policeman. Partic ularly, he laments that the country did not do anything possible to pre vent the resurgence of Moslem power In the Near East, which, sweeping everything before it, has nullified much of the splendid work in broad territories by the missionaries, lost the region to Christianity and probably rendered a continuance of past achievements impossible. Amer ica must undertake a cruside into the world for the righting of wrongs wherever they exist, preferably by pacific means but otherwise.if neces sary. Unfortunately, nations who are par ty to a dispute regularly take a view of its moral aspects which coincides almost exactly with their own ma terial interests. The United States is powerless to change this state of af fairs, nor is it by any moans clear that we are so superior to other na tions that we have a right to make so much as the attempt. In any event, it so happens that a disinter ested nation cannot throw its influ ence or force on either side of a dls pute without incidentally champion ing the imperial interests of one party, and combating those of the other. The disinterested nation be comes a catspaw for one nation, and makes of the other a dangerous en emy. It spends Its own strength, and makes its own taxpayers pay for the profit of another nation. Such a foreign policy goes at least In the di rection of disaster, and, at the last, hardly more can he said for it than the moral point of view than for one of Christian forbearance from fight ing unless attacked. We are sorry to see the Turk back in Thrace because he is an incom petent administrator, intolerant to the point of fanaticism of religious and racial minorities, and essentially non-European in culture or spirit. But there was and Is neither moral nor material reason for our Interven tion in the Near East on the scale contemplated by Dr. Moore and the others. As for world politics in gen eral, it is true that we cannot es pouse a narrow isolationist policy. Our interests do not permit it. but neither do they require that we throw ourselves on one side or the other of the balance of power. Is This a Dreadful Thing? From Farm bite. We were at a sale the other day, where a somewhat decrepit old farmer, on a somewhat decrepit old farm, was disposing of his stuff and getting ready to move to town. He confessed that he couldn’t carry on any longer. Mb had two bright and enterprising boys, and one of them had been hauling logs and the other had been teaming with the construc tion gang on the nearby state high way. “Isn't this a deadful thing—to see these folks leaving tthe farm?” said a conventional uplifter, who went with us to attend the sale. "Why, no,” we answered. "What is there dreadful about it? The old gentleman has earned his rest and the boys are doing well enough. They will make their way. It's hard to wring a living from these old hills, and why make a tragedy about leav ing them?" Hut tile uplifter couldn’t look at It that way. He had been reading about the dredful drift to the cities, and he kept on with the sob stuff until we got back to town. You couldn't have chained him down to that farm, but ho was full of anguish because some body else wanted to leave it. Maybe the old farmer and the boys were making a mistake, at that. We don’t know. What we do know Is that they had a perfect right to reg ulate their own lives to suit them selves. And this is the thing tlie up lifter does not know. Hasn’t America Done Enough. From tlie Kun.at, City kt.ir. M. Clemenceau's suggestion that the Ignited States hasn’t done enough for France recalls somehow the question that came up to Iteatrice Fairfax in her advice to the lovelorn. "Miss Fairfax.’’ a youth wrote, "I took my girl to the theater last night. I sent her flowers, and took her in a taxi, and got good seats and took her home, but r did not kiss her good night. That has bothered me some. Did I do right in not kissing her good night?" “Young man." Miss Fairfax replied, "you did perfectly right. You had done enough.” Deserting the Farms. From the St. Louis Globe.Democrat. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, In his annual report to President Harding, says that “the American farmers, comprising about < ne-thlrd of the country's population, notwith standing their hard work and large production this year, are still laboring under a serious disadvantage as com pared with other groups of workers because of the dlstortionate relation ship of prices,” and he tells us that the are deserting the farms in in creasing numbers to seek more profit able occupation. The best estimates, he states, “indi cate that during duly, August and September twice as many persons left the farms for the cities as nor mally," and he declares that the in adequate return which the farmer is receiving "inevitably must result in readjustments in the number of peo ple on the farms and in the cities, which will not be for the continuing good of the nation." The farmers can never be able to relate production to de mand with the ease of the manufactur er. the secretary observes, and while manufacturers have tided themselves over a period of falling prices by re duced production, and organized labor has insisted upon high wages, the farmers have had no better alterna tive than to produce as much as pos sible and to accept the prevailing prices for their products. This has resulted, he says, in the failure of thousands of farmers to "weather the storm,” and in an abnormally large movement from the farm to the city. These statements are all based upon facts. The farmers have been and are NET AVERAGE CIRCULATION for NOVEMBER. 1922, of THE OMAHA BEE Daily.73,843 Sunday .78,105 B. BREWER, Gen. Mgr. ELMER S. ROOD, Cir. Mgr. Sworn to and subscribed before ms this Sth day of December, 1922. W. H. QUIVEY, (Seal) Notary Public the greatest sufferers from business depression and instability. The aver age farmer, even in normal times, struggles with an eye to many un certainties that take form in drouth, flood, ravages of insects and other forms to rob him of his profit hut in addition to this he has been faced by a slump in prices which has made profitable farming almost impossible. And yet, through the readjustment which Secretary Wallace views with deep concern is now going on, another natural readjustment, a natural shift ing of price levels, is also in progress, and it may be viewed as a hopeful sign. Farm products, though still too low, are selling at higher prices than a year ago and the farmers are in a better condition financially, he says, than they were at that time. As aiv other such sign he points to "the In creasing willingness of people engaged in industry, commerce and finance to help bring about a more favorable adjustment for the farmer." This is a recognition of the fact that the pros perity of tlie whole country depe fls upon prosperity in the basic industry of agriculture, and, when considered in connection with the promising rise in prices, it is a reason foi believing that the farmers in spite of their pres ent conditions, may look forward hopefully to the developments of the next few yearg._ Cut Out Duplication. From tho Aurora Register. The budget for normal schools at Peru, Wayne, Kearney and Chadron has been prepared and an Increase slightly under a million dollars will be asked for the biennium. Instead there should be arrangements to close up at least two of them and devote the buildings to some other state pur pose, to save building somewhere, some place at a future time. Girlish Independence From tba Lob Angeles Times. One of the leaders in the national women's purty expresses the opinion that girls must be as independent in finance as they are in other matters. They must pay their way. When a young man and a girl are together for an evening the male should not be expected to pay for the whole shot. If there is a show, a supper, a taxi cab and a dance it is only fair that the bill should be divided. This fem inist leader insists that the female of the species should be under no obli gation to tho male. She should be able at any time to look him calmly in the eyes and tell him where to get off. Possibly she does it. nnyhow, but she should be in a position to make it stick. Anyhow, no financial obli gation ought to be recognized. By this time the girl should have money enough to take care of herself and her end of the card. The distinguish ed leader does not say where she gets it, but she is supposed to have it. Perhaps she advertises for it or maybe she rounds up her per capita and puts it into oil stock. But. at any rate, she must be independent of the male and when she enters a high priced fodder palace on the arm of a gent it must be with the idea of pay ing for at least half of the refresh ment. If this leader is going to run the national woman's party on that basis she will have some hearty sup port from the hall room boys, but will soon run out of female votes. The Rural Parliament. From the Shelton Clipper. A resident of a large city remarked the other day that when lie wanted to secure a clear insight Into the public questions that bothered him. lie did not find the most light in the social circles of the city, as many people would believe. On the contrary, he gained more when he could go back to the old country home and discuss conditions with his former friends. The country folks, ho said, are read ing and thinking more than they ever did before. They cherish high ideals, tempered with practical experience. They are constantly coming in contact with business men and travelers and know more about what is going on in the w’orld than the majority of the city people. The "country grocery parliament” used to be ridiculed, but much plain truth has been swapped in this assemblage of worthies. The shams of modern society do not affect country people so much as they do the highbrows of the city, and they see life about as it really is. “2 he People’s Voice* Editorials from roodors of The Morning Boo. Roadors of Tha Morning Boo •re invited to uso this column freely for expression on matters of public interest. Irrigation ami Flood Control. Kearney, Neb.—To the Editor of The Omaha. Heel I have read with considerable interest your editorial, “The West's Demands." it is to be hoped that the Smith-McNary or some other hill covering our needs will be passed at this short session of con gress. In my humble opiflion, it is high time that the “west” in congress get together, regardless of party affilia tion, and work as a unit for the inter est of the west. Itas it ever occurred to you or your readers that tills great government of ours has spent hundreds of millions on tho improvements of our rivers and harbors, and not even directly or indirectly has one cent of these vast sums been returned to the national treasury? Does it not seem a little strange that when the people of the west ask, not for a gift, but rather a loan, that it should be denied them? At the re cent meeting, December 6, 7 and 8, of the Nebraska Irrigation conven tion, hold at Bridgeport, it was shown that many of the beneficiaries of government aid were suffering be cause of too high an interest charge and too higli a return payment. Why not reduce the interest charge and ex tend the time of repayment? The people who have settled on these oncp barren lands have had to make the fight usually incident to pioneer set tlement, but with government help they have made this land to hud and blossom like the rose. On the pros perity of these farmers depends the prosperity' of the towns, villages and cities of our state. Instead of spend ing money to hold the flood waters within the river channels why not spend the money in building more reservoirs, thus holding back the flood waters for use during the dry seasons of the year? This would relieve the pressure on the levees of the lower rivers and assure an abundant crop in the irrigated territory. The passage of the Smlth-McNary hill will mean much to the west. Be sides the projects now under way there lias been within the last year a most careful Hnd comprehensive survey made of the land along the Platte river in Buffalo, Dawson and Lincoln counties. The project is of such gigantic proportions, covering nearly 50U.000 acres, that it will be impossible for private interests to finance the development. I ne plan is to construct large reser voirs Into which the flood waters of the Platte can be stored for future use. The water so stored will not only fur nish ample water for Irrigation, hut will also furnish ample power for the electrification of the whole valley. This is not a dream, bot the plans have been carefully worked out by a competent engineer, who has had years of experience on irrigation proj ects. So far the burden has been borne by citizens of the valley who have had a vision of the possibility of our water development. Rut we have gone as far as we can without gov ernment help and we are now mark ing time anxiously waiting for the message of this most needed legisla tion. Again let me say, “Let the west unite and, without any regard for Party affiliation, work for the Interest of the west.” C. B. MANUEL. Costly Freight on Fruit.
