MAKE THE THIEF PAY BACK.
Probably the first move of primeval man in the
direction of order was the recognition of property
rights. This began so for back beyond any record
that only speculative theory accounts for its origin, j
Some hold that the first assertion of property right. 1
was in the pot in which ho cooked his food, a genius
hav ing devised one that did not break down under 1
its first usuage. Whatever the heginning, nothing
is dearer to man, nothing more firmly asserted, than
his right to own the things that are his.
Civilized man has surrounded property' with
every possible protection of law, and provides se
vere punishment for any who break over .the
laws by stealing, damaging or destroying that which j
is another’s. The law, however, as we have it has j
abandoned one of the primitive rules, that which re
quired restitution. This rule should be revived, 1
and made part of the penalty inflicted on nnyonc I
guilty of crime.
To send the thief to prison does not make whole
the loss of the one who was robbed; to put in jail
the reckless youth who smashes up an automobile
he has lifted for a joyride does not pay the repair
bill, and so on through the list. Justice is not en
tirely served by the modern method of enforcing
laws against criminals.
What is needed is a law that will require full
restitution or compensation to any person who is
injured in person or property by another who has
committed a crime, great or small. Every sentence
inflicting a penalty for a misdemeanor or a crime,
from which a victim suffers in any way, should re
quire that the culprit pay in full damages.
Such a law might not check the crime wave, but
it would certainly have a tendency to make some
think who now enter lightly on criminal enterprise.
If the man who steals knew beforehand that, if
caught, he would have to restore all he stole, he
might consider working for himself in preference |
to trying to live at the expense of somebody else
who does work. When the man who carelessly or
maliciously destroys property is warned beforehand
that he will have to make good all damage he is re
sponsible for, he may go a little easy in his wild
career.
A case in point: Not very long ago a thief
drove away a small hunch of cattle, owned by an
old farmer in northern Nebraska. The thief was
overtaken and sent to prison, but the cattle could
not be recovered, as they had been disposed of, one
by one, to widely scattered buyers. The old man
has lost his life’s savings, and gets no return. Why
should not that thief be required to make full
restitution, ev$n though it take all hi$ earnings for
the rest of his life? He destroyed the earnings of
an honest man, and simple justice demands that he
put back what he did away with.
SCHOOL BOYS AND THE FARM.
A correspondent writes to The Omaha Bee from
Central City, bemoaning the fact that schools cost
so much, and saying, among other things: "Not
one boy has come back to the farm in this district
since the free high school law was enacted."
The inescapable inference of this assertion is
that were it- not for the high school, all the boys
would be back on the farm. Then the conclusion
must be that the way to keep ’em down on the farm
is to prevent them from securing an education.
Such a proposal is absurd. We do not know
how to get at the facts, but we will venture the as
sertion that the vast majority of the farmers of
Nebraska are well educated men. We know of many
who have had their time not only in the high schools
but in the colleges and universities of the state;
who have drank deep at the spring of knowledge,
and have returned to the farm to apply in a prac
tical way to the needs of agriculture the things they
learned at school. More than this, they have found
on the farm not only use for what they gained at
school, but incentive to learn more.
Boys and girls do go back to the farm from
school. Many enter the professions o engage in
business life, but these are in the minority, else the
farm were a’deserted place. Furthermore, the busi
ness of farming has in it something more than the
dull, insensate drudgery of the olden day, for to
succeed on the farm nowadays one must be abreast
of the times, thoroughly developed in mind as well
as in body. . „ ..
The position of the correspondent is hardly the
correct one. Our state schools are the most help
ful adjunct the farm has, and through it is being
worked out the future of agriculture, which will be
greater and brighter as the days go on.
PICTURES IN BOOKS.
Man began crudely to scratch his designs on
stone or bone in response to an impulse to com
memorate some doughty deed, either in war or
chase. Then he used pictures to convey ideas, to
exchange or preserve thought, and in time came
Cadmus and gave letters.
Long before the first books were printed from
moveable types, the artist was a coworker with the
scrivener, and the ponderous tomes of the centuries
before Guttenberg bear witness of the co-operation
of the copyist and the decorator, frequently the
same individual. Illuminated missals and other
triumphs of the bookmaker's art, priceless in value,
are preserved to remind the modern man that his
advantages do not give him exclusive possession of
the beautiful and wonderful.
Yet a survey of modern printing will quickly
convince any of the efficiency of the art. The en
graver of cuts kept up with the cutter or punches,
and printing blocks multiplied as did the printing
types. With improvement in presses, the invention
of photo-engraving, and other of the great improve
ments, the book of today is such a triumph for
human skill and artistic taste that only superlatives
are to be used when discussing them.
When next you approach your book case, or
come near a bookstall, look at some of the products
of the printing presses of today, and marvel at the
perfection displayed therein. Man has made re
markable advance since the first proof was pulled.
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR’S PAY.
Pelham H. Barrows, lieutenant governor of Ne
braska, claims the state of Nebraska is indebted to
him in the sum or $900 for services as governor. One
of the judges in I^ncaster county says the claim is
without merit, and dismisses Barrows’ suit.
The constitution of the state of Nebraska says,
among other things relating to the office, that in
event of the governor's absence from the state, the
lieutenant governor succeeds to “the powers, duties
and emoluments” of the office. The pay of the gov
ernor of Nebraska is $7,500 a year; that of the
lieutenant governor is $1,500 a year, a difference of
$6,000.
It is clear enough, then, that when the lieutenant
governor acts as governor, his pay under the con
stitution is increased proportionately for the time
he serves. No appropriation is made to cover this;
at the last session of the legislature an effort to se
cure such an appropriation was thwarted. The gov
ernor has drawn his pay in full, and so has the lieu
tenant governor with respect to his single salary.
Now, under the constitution, the state is indebted
to the lieutenant governor for the time he served as
governor at the regular rate of pay given the gov
ernor. It. is not a question of personalities, but of
justice. Barrows ought not to be required to look
to McKelvie for his pay; he should get it from the
state. If the state is entitled to any rebate from
McKelvie for salary drawn while absent from his
office, that should be taken up as another piece of
business.
One of the first dpties of the legislature should
bo to make some plain plan for carrying out, the
provision of the constitution, which says the lieu
tenant governor shall succeed to the emoluments
of the governor’s office when filling that place in ab
sence of the governor from the state.
SARAH AT SEVENTY-EIGHT.
Bernhardt at 78 works so hard that she collapses
at the end of a rehearsal.
What a tribute to a wonderful woman! Sixty
years and more of arduous devotion to an exacting
art. half a century the undisputed ruler of the the
ater, and still going strong. Ambition could not
seek greater honor than has been hers; avarice no
more golden reward. Yet neither ambition nor
greed ever moved this woman to an act. She is in
spired by the divine impulse to create, and so she
has gone through all her busy years, toiling at one
and then another role, subduing and making her
very own such a range of characters as must appal
a less gifted person.
For no role ever was “tailored” to fit Bernhardt;
the greatest of authors wrote with her in mind, but
to see her embody their conception of an important
character, building it up in flesh and blood, in life
and action, throbbing with the intensity of passion,
distressed by grief, swallowed up in love, or uni
mated by hatred and revenge, but never Bernhardt
—always the breath of her genius blown into the
nostrils of a poet's personification of some dominat
ing motive. What an inexhaustible vitality she pos
sesses to be capable of so much.
Bernhardt has handled millions, und spent them
on her art. She has been accused of extravagance,
but never of frenkishness. Her money, hard won
by relentless application to her profession, has been
expended on new creations, to add greater luster
to the theater she adorns. But she has another side,
one the world seldom sees. Mrs. “Pat" Campbell, in
her recently published book, tells of one occasion
when they were playing in the same cast, she was
in need of money, and applied to Sarah for a
loan. Bernhardt responded with a 50-pound note,
and it eventually developed that was all the money
this famous pair of women had between them.
Omaha recollects her well, for shq visited the
city several times. Memory of her wonderful voice
is most vivid; her graceful carriage, her majesty of
presence, her vivacity of movement and gesture, all
frame in the mental picture of a voice the like of
which is rarely heard speaking. Tomasso Salvini
had it; among Americans Blanche Walsh, Viola Al
len and Margaret Anglin most nearly approached it.
Yet through all the long list the tones of Bernhardt
linger clearest, because of vibrant timbre that gave
her utterance the quality that really made her great.
The divine Sarah iR truly named. She is the one,
and it is no disparagement to other women who
have won fame upon the stage, to say she is alone,
unapproachable in her premiership, yet human, and
delightful because she is human.
Mile. Sorel has reached her beloved France, de
claring her adoration for America. Inasmuch as
her short stay in the United States netted her more
in real cash than she would get for two years hard
work in Paris, her enthusiasm may be understood.
Her expressions may be taken to mean she is com
ing back some day.
Increase of cotton spinning in November to the
tune of 420,000,000 active spindle hours over Oc
tober is another straw that shows how the wind is
setting in the United States.
A divorced wife has secured a restraining order
to prevent her former husband from wedding a
young girl. Question, how long do the proprietary
right* continue after the partnership is broken up?
A Seattle sneak thief is much cast down be
cause the old man from whom he stole a shirt was
Irish. No crime, however, if it had been a Chinese
who was victimized.
A lot of girl clerks, typists and office help will
sympathize with the Michigan miss whose spending
money has been cut down to $20,000 a year by a
court order.
Some of the pagans hereabouts are starting their
Saturnalia observation a little ahead of time. The
feat really does not begin until Saturday.
Iowa now has one auto for each four and one
fifth persons in the state. The other one-fiftlj is
probably using an airplane.
Judge Patrick is warming up to his work as an
enforcer of traffic rules. More power to him.
Life on Lake Superior is not without its thrills.
Belief m Brimstone
From the Washington Post.
A professor in a Missouri college has been invited
to resign “because he does not believe in aatan," as an
existing demon with hoofs and horns and tail. AVhlch
suggests that if one who doesn't accept scriptural de
scriptions literally gets mixed uji with those who do he
will be rated as bad company, and if one thus mixed
up doesn't believe in the devil he Is apt to catch him.
Evidently if one wearies of fearing the devil nnd
ventures to ftnd some more comforting interpretation of
the Biblical narrative dealing with his satanie majesty,
and so expresses his liberalism In Missouri, and if the
literalists have their way in the matter he will be in
a bad way. Apparently the professor's critics hold that
those who would escape the devil by doubting his ex
[ istence are on (he road (o him.
“From State and Nation"
—Editorials from other newspapers—
, Who Is the "Hoc" That Gets the
Fanner's Crop?
(*\v Hhio c. Doming in the Wyoming State
Tribune.
The Omaha Bye under its present
ownership and editorship has taken
I "it new life. It is now one of the
i readable newspapers of the west,
! whereas for years it was dull and un
| interesting. Every page contains vi
tality. because there is n working per
| sonulity In charge.
A recent issue contains a very
striking cartoon which represents an
! old-fashioned corn crib with the Mats
1 off at the bottom and big ears of corn
1 lllteriiig through on the ground. The
i crib represents, generally speaking,
j the product of the farm.
In the foreground, grabbing each
I ear as it comes out, are razorback
[ hogs, which are denuding each ear of
the kernels, leaving only the cob for
the farmer's share, tine is labeled
railroad rates,” another "car short
age?' and another “inadequate cred
its "
The figure may be somewhat over
drawn. but it Illustrates a clearly
present state of mind. No one can
deny that the farmer or the producer
has been caught between the upper
and tile nether millstone of economic
pressure. He has practically nothing
left.
Very generally it is believed that
the freight rate is largely responsible.
Ml this suggests that congress and
the Interstate Commerce commission
or the railroad board should examino
the entire situation, find the seat of
trouble, apply the pruning knife and
restore something of the equilibrium
that prevailed in production and dis
tribution before the world war fell
like a pall upon every home and every
industry and left Its blight of debt and
death under which we are still strug
gling.
Young Men mid Old.
From tho Marlon star.
A successful author who at 25 has
put a host seller on tho market avers
that it is the old people who run
tilings. This In spite of the fart that
the present has been called an age
where youth takes the helm and as
sumes .leadership In all important
enterprises.
There is truth in this young auth
or's observation. The war may seem
to have been won by the sheer
strength of youth; but it is to he re
membered that the guiding minds in
that war belonged to generals and
premiers, not ope of whom was under
50. Francis Bacon hus said: "The
errors of young men are the ruin of
business; but tile errors of aged men
amount to this, that more might have
been done, hut sooner." Where respon
sibility and keen judgment, are the
foremost factors, thoso who have
lived must stand at the wheel.
Yet the enthusiasm and tire of
youth are essential to progress.
What young men huve started old
men have finished and standardized.
The one is a check and stimulus to
the other. No man, because he is
young or because he is old. needs to
regret his condition. “It is good to
compound employments of both,”
said Bacon. The world needs both
and finds each indispensable.
Public Health and Filthy Money.
From the Topeka Capital.
When New York's distinguished
health commissioner is sworn in as
a United States senator from that
state maybe he will introduce a bill
placing upon tho government the cost
of transporting unfit money hack to
the treasury for renewal In new
money.
Bills reeking with filth are not only
in general circulation at all times, but
the filthier the hill the more every
body wants to pass it off, the result
being that filthy money circulates
more generally and rapidly than other
money and the filthier the more rapid
its circulation from hand to hand.
Finally it is gathered lip in the banks
which proceed to circulate it among
thems'- ves, passing it off for the next
bank to go to the expense of remit
ting it to Washington as "unfit cur
rency.”
If the charge for this service was
not thrown upon persons holding the
money, hut were a charge on the
treasury, the country would have
clean money, and at no proportionate
cost to the boon of being rid of germ
infested currency. It would be an In
expensive contribution to public
health.
A New Motor Load.
Prom tho Nebraska City Press.*'
The suggestion of Secretary George
Johnson of the department of high
ways that the Nebraska federal aid
toad program may be carried
out without burdening the general
population, simply J?y letting the au
tomobile owner pay for the work, is
not likely to touch a responsive
chord. Tho automobile owner In Ne
braska Is already being taxed heavily
and often, lie pays a personal tax
on his car, a license fee for the priv
ilege of honking his horn at an ab
sent-minded pedestrian, and a wheel
lax if ho lives in a metropolitan city.
In addition there are the taxes which
are Imposed by the gasoline seller, the
oil purveyor and the insurance agent.
Mr. Johnson's plan would call for an
additional annual levy of $25 on the
average car owner. It Is probably
true that flO per cent of the people of
NO ROYAL ROAD.
There nro no roynl roads In life.
Horn midst travail, with dangers rife.
Thence onward; earth's hesetments cloy,
And bar tbe path to perfect Joy.
No royal road to happiness.
The base inurements on us press
To charm our souls, though vain are they,
Obscure the true, lead us astray.
There Is no royal road to love.
That precious treasure high above
All worth, forever lies In wait.
To mar Its fervor, blighting hate.
There is no royal road to wealth.
Though youth and strength, with buoyant
health
Abound in us, long Is the rise,
And high rests the Illusive prize.
To health there Is no royal way.
To sore afflictions we are prey,
Up from the cradle to life’s end.
For health, for life, we must contend.
No royal road to wisdom's height.
Through many rears we wage the fight
To pain its crest, Its laurels wear,
With hopes oft blent with near despair.
There Is no royal road to fame.
Ha who would win a deathless name
From out obscurity must rise,
Through patient toil and sacrifice.
To heaven there is no royal road.
The narrow path to that abode
Is rough and steep, and hut the few
Survive, said Christ, the Journey through.
Rejoice there Is no royal road
Be glad But for ambition’s goad
That drivps us upward, all would he
But clods In mediocrity.

A Job for Your Boy.
IFiom the YOungstown Telegram
"What shall I make my boy?” ,
many an anxious parent Is asking
today as he realizes the overcrowded
condition of his own trade or pro
fession.
The boy will probably make or un
make himself without much aid from
the old man, but meantime why not
turn his thoughts toward the science
of chemistry, if he he at all studious
ly Inclined? Here we have a field ex 1
panQing In all directions like a
dampened yeast cuke.
Last year .American industry spent
more than $70,000,000 In scientific
research, most of It in experiments
in chemistry In the laboratory.
As a result of this expenditure
$000,000,000 is saved annually by in
dustry in tills country. The value of
scientific research has never been so
fully appreciated as it Is today.
Yes. chemistry offers a fine field
for the hoy just entering high school
and not knowing what to do with
himself. Every normal boy likes to
"experiment,” and chemistry is the
very heart of scientific investigation.

Omaha.—To the Kditor of The
Omaha Bee: Newspaper dispatches dur
Ing the past week herald the an
nouncement that President Harding
is for a soldirrs' bonus, providing tilt
money to pay it can be found. The
Fein ml Reserve bank system state
ment shows that there is within the
eonflnes of the United States over
$3,400,000,000 in gold coin and bul
lion, a commodity used to base the
issue of Federal Reserve notes, there
by enabling private lwnkers to charge
the people of the United States inter
est for the purpose of having money
to pay their debts with.
The• republican party is not the
father of this Infamous banking
scheme which is pauperizing the
American people, and for this reason
the republican party in the nation can
restore us again to prosperity by
paying a soldiers' bogus in the man
ner that the great republican states
man did In 1861, when at his request
congress passed a hill for the issue
by the secretary of the treasury of
$60,000,000 of noninterest bearing
notes, when issued to be legal tender
money for its face value, for all debts,
public and private, in the United
States of America.

mensurate with the service and phy
sical condition, and in no case less
than $500. This will pay our debt to
the ex service men and at the same
time give the American people the
necessary money, free from interest
and usury, to pay their debts with.
This act alone will restore prosperity.

Why did Representative Keller drop

Did his radical backers get cold feet?
In my opinion that Injunction of
Daugherty was one of the tiest and
most far reaching of all acts his office
ever did. It was based on the princi
ple that made America the greatest
of all. and he should and does have
the inoral and. if need be, tho physi

j Common Sense
Calmness Tuts Over the Big Idea.
Do you get excited when you be
come Intensely interested? ,
Enthusiasm Is essential to success
hut not the variety of enthusiasm
which cuuses a person to talk rapid
ly, wholly without the bulance wheel
of practical thought.
The kind of enthusiasm which real
ly counts Is the sort which permits of
perfect control of the emotions, yet
Is sufficiently strong to permit of full
concentration on the subject.
There are persons with hobbies who
cannot talk about them without get
ting wrought up to high tension so
that they do little besides jabber.
Ho aroused they become that they
give little heed, and no sound con
sideration, to what any other person
may say, and frequently they will
break into the conver*nr:on of others
in order to advance their own ideas.
When a man or a woman is discuss
ing something particularly interesting
to themselves and their eyes take on
an excited expression, the fuce flush
es, body becomes tense and the flu
gerH work convulsively, there is a fail
ure to create a favorable Impression
upon those with whom they speak.
It is the calm, sincere, thinking
person who can put over a big idea.
