COLLAPSE OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
At such a time in world affairs as this, when a
practical program is sought for Europe, the na
tions almost with one accord turn to the United
States and not to the League of Nations.
In every crisis of iirternatioitel politics the league
has failed to function as a major institution. Today
at Lausanne it is proposed to appoint the control
committee which is to supervise the Turkish straits
under the near east peace treaty. This is entirely
outside the League of Nations. Ismet Pasha pleads
lor further guarantees for safety of Constanti
nople than the League of Nations could give. Pow
erless to act and without prestige, the “dream of
j Versailles’’ is fading from all consideration.
America now stands in exactly the position it
would have taken if Woodrow Wilson had carried
out his threat to withdraw from the Paris conference
, and sail for home rather than agree to the exeeu
|! tion of the secret treaties by which the allies had
f divided (he world among them. Euro|ie has tried
(f out its schemes and they have failed. When finally
'' ft takes its place on the mourner's bench then will
(! the way to salvation be opened.
|, Alone of all the victors, America sought no ma
terial gains out of the war. The stakes for which
it the old world plays arc not attractive to the demoe
ji racy of the new world. America knows that to win
i. in such a game is only to lose. Seeking lie amiexa
'! tions or indemnities, America has the latent power to
r right the wrongs of the peace if Europe comes with
r the same honesty and unselfishness with which Amcr
j] ica would arbitrate these matters.
No nation seeking aggrandizement could have
j; such a commanding position. No people who were
;! lacking in the sense of justice and democracy would
1 dare to assume such responsibility.. Americans have
, given freely of their charity to aid the foreign peo
; pies who have been suffering from the mistaken
‘ policies of their rulers. Americans yearn to succor
the oppressed of every land. If Europe is now ready
1 to accept the aid of the United States in the only
way it can be given, without sacrificing our sov
' ereignty, surrendering any national principal or en
dorsing the spirit of national greed, jealousy or re
venge, the way is clear.
America stayed out of the League of Nations be
cause it did not wish to bind itself to guarantee to
carry out the impossible. Holding firm to our na
tional sovereignty, avoiding entanglements and giv
ing no encouragement to the mistakes of imperialism
and militarism, we have attained a moral eminence
that other nations are forced at last to recognize.
Such a power is too great to be represented
merely by one vote in a League of Nations. When
President Wilson sat tn the Versailles conference
he was helpless to achieve the results for which
America had fought in the trenches. His only vic
tories came when lie threatened to ]<;ave. In that
fact may he seen the great truth that America’s
power for good lies in keeping our hands clean and
free to serve in a larger way. We are a bigger fac
tor outside the League of Nations than as one mem
ber among so many. Events prove that our real
chance to serve comes from our preserving a neutral
attitude. If a new international economic confer
ence is to be held, the United States will act as an
arbiter, almost as a judge, instead of merely being
one voice among many.
President Harding has always felt th there
were ways of accomplishing world recovt with
, out violating the independent spirit of Americanism.
. lie is known now to hope that America’s influence
. may soon be given the opportunity to assist in stab
' ilizing world conditions. The task that the soilless
machinery of the League of Nations could not per
form may soon be undertaken in a simpler, more
honest way. The four-power pact of Washington
and the treaty arranged there by which Japan has
- returned Shantung to China have proved the worth
of this national policy.
The League of Nations stands helpless in the
present emergency. The question on all lips in
Europe is, “What is America’s attitude?” What
ever the inclination of the statesmen, it is sure that
; the respect' in which the people of Europe hold
America will force their rulers to listen. The dis
interested, unselfish conduct of the United States
has given it more real influence ift the world than
that enjoyed by the League of Nations. If we had
lost our spirit of unselfishness and had entered
into a race for spoils of war, this could not be.
As long as America seeks no special concessions,
but holds out for a world in which all people shall
have an equal opportunity to develop, it will main
tain this spiritual supremacy which counts for more
than all the stratagems of secret diplomacy and of
fers the only way out of the trouble that besets the
old world.
THE GREAT DIVIDE IN POLITICS.
In France and other continental nations political
parties are numbered by the dozen. In g.eneral the
line-up is on the bloc system. Germany today is
governed l>y a combination of blocs, some of them
economic and some religious. In Poland the conflict
between racial blocs has resulted in the assassination
if a president of Lithuanian blood by a deranged
member of the simon pure Polish party.
Political divisions in the United States are sim
pler and along broader lines. A few fundamental
iflferences exist between the two great parties, but
time and again some candidate by force of person
. r.lity loads the voters across party lines. Factions
within the parties take the place of the numerous
mrtisan divisions abroad. Ben W. Hooper, chair
man of the United States labor board, recently
summed up the American political organization in
the following way:
"A progressive is the man who moves forward.
A conservative hesitates before moving, and if he.
moves at all, moves neither far nor fast. A pro
gressive who is not conservative ia radical. A con
servative who is not progressive is reactionary."
All these tendencies arc to be found within each
of the two rival party organizations. In Nebraska,
however, the overwhelming majority is made up of
whe' may be called "progressive conservatives” and
"cooaeivative progressives.” if there were more
real reactionaries, their presence would stimulate a
larger percentage of downright radicals. Thus is
the balance of nature applied even to the human
function of government. One extreme begets the
other.
NO COME-BACK FOR •FATTY"
The proposal to reinstate Roscoe (Fatty) Ar
buckle as a moving picture actor comes as a distinct
shock. This man was connected with one of the
most disgraceful episodes ever recorded in Amer
ica. That he was finally acquitted, after three trials
on a charge of manslaughter for the deafh of Vir
ginia Rappe, may have exonerated him so far as the
law is concerned, but there is something deeper and
broader than mere exculpation by a jury.
If Arbuckle sincerely has repented of his
admitted misdeeds, he is taking an odd way of show
ing his contrition. Instead of trying to force him
self on public attention again, he should be in sack
cloth and ashes. The art of the moving picture thea
ter suffered little when he was compelled to with
draw, and it will not be assisted in any way by his
return.
One thing is clearly seen through the smoke
screen that is being laid down by the appeal to pub
lic sympathy. When the Labor day orgy at the San
Francisco hotel was disclosed, a great sol) went up
from the producers, who announced that $‘.’,000,000 j
was tied up in Arbuckle pictures. Now it is stated
that none of these films arc to be shown, but that 1
a new series will be made. If Arbuckle pictures
are allowed to be presented at all, how long will it
be until the stock in storage is brought forth, with
titles changed, and foisted on the public as new j
creations?
Will H. Hays makes ^ rather hollow plea for
sympathy on behalf of the discredited actor. If
Mr. Hays would well serve his employers, and con- |
tinue to deserve public sympathy, he will set his
face sternly against the proposed attempt. "Fatty”
Arbuckle should not again be paraded before the
children of America, and the suggestion that he be
permitted to once more appear on the screen is an
insult to public morals. ,
WHEN A MAN’S A MAN.
Eugene O’Neill’s “Hairy Ape” was a stoker on a
transatlantic liner. He extolled his great strength
as the force that drives the world. When scorned by
the dainty maiden from the cabin deck, he turns his
thoughts to destruction, and sets out to prove his
prowess by making trouble. Finally, he unlotks the
cage of the gorilla in the park zoo, and hails the
beast as a brother. The beast promptly breaks the
back of the man and flings him, a crumpled wreck
into the cage. •
This is hailed by the super-intellectuals as a psalm
of life. What will they say to the fireman of the
lake tug Reliance, through whose strength and cour
age twenty-three men are living today, who other
wise were doomed. He, too, is a “hairy ape,” an
“abysmal brute,” whose great arms and broad chest
are covered by a thick growth of curly hair; who
knows nothing of Nietsche, or Freud, or Coue, or
any of the rest of the advanced thinkers. His read
ing probably never extended beyond the sport page,
or the bulletin of his labor union; he may even have
been a “red,” and he very likely was.
But he was a man, and when it became neces
sary to swim from the stranded vessel to the shore,
carrying a line through the icy water, he did it. Any
grudge he may have had against society, any ven
detta on the capitalistic class, disappeared when the
crisis met him. His brawn had been given to feed
ing the furnace, now it was pitted against nature
at her crudest moment; the strength of man match- .
ed against the strength of wind and wave, and the !
odds of cruel cold against him.
And he won. He carried the line to shore, and j
by that means all who were left alive on the boat
were saved. William Gow, fireman, is also a man.
. * Secretary Stuhr finds a number of places in which
the laws of the state can be mended, and so reports
to the governor. The legislature will have the final
say on this point.
Louisiana is to experiment with Nebraska pota- j
toes, and if they come to even a part of the success j
attained in their native land, the Pelican state will be I
particularly blessed.
One good way to clean house is to clean house,
and this is commended to the attention of the mov
ing picture owners.
These agricultural bloc senators seem to have
some little point* of disagreement among them
selves, such as Muscle Shoals, for example.
Senator Norris surely will be missed when he
comes to leave the senate, for he manages to keep
things from stagnating.
“Give Fatty a chance,” but what about the chil
dren?

Music Hath Charms
-From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. ~ 1 1
During, and for a time after the war, music as a i
civilizing, retinitis and elovating influence was under a
cloud. The Germans, always and by far tho greatest
exponents of the thought that music is tho most potent
uplifting force in nature, suddenly lifted themselves to
such a height that they became as a great cloud shut
ting out tho sunlight. They recalled the fact that the
Corsicans, with tlio vendetta and the stiletto, had long
been wont to sing snatches of opera while they carved
one another.
But it is as impossible to keep a good tiling, as it is
a good man, down. Music is coming hack. The music
critics of the London press are rerevising the opinion
they expressed while war was raging, that, when heard
between tho lines of librettos, or seen in the twist of
the baton in the hands of an orchestra leader, Wag
tier's operas, so far from being tilled with the sweetness
and light they had found in them before the war com
tnenced, breathed the very soul of war. The rerevision
of that opinion is bringing music hack, and, according
to tho Music Trades, it has reached the State Prison
camps around Huntington, Tex.
The Music Trades says that the Introduction of the
phonograph lias almost brought to an end the playing
of "craps" by the prisoners. It has led to the organ!
zation of a number of stnull orchestras a*hd bands among
the prisoners in the camps. "This." says the Music
Trades, "has brought to the front much talent, including
singers, imitators, dancers and other capable perform
ers. Officials reulize that music has created a much
better social atmosphere in the camps.” That music
had created not a social hut an antisocial atmosphere in
the world had been charged by the London critics,
who found, after the war began, that the greatest of
music breathed threateningly of slaughter in the scores.
But they have taken that opinion back, ami are again
hearing nothing hut a concord of harmonious and peace
ful sounds In the Wagnerian operas. AVhen such a
reverf*al of'crlth-al and expert opinion as to the soul of
music is possible, it cannot be surprising that a shaking
of the bones stops whenever music is heard. The in
mates of the Tpxaif prison hear nothing of strife In
music. And they are not the men to revise and re
revise their opinions.

“From State and Nation”
—Editorials from other newspapers—
ilrnry and lllwimlfnl,
I torn tho Nebraska City
That the wide distribution of Henry
lords principal product is killing
the small towns l>y transporting the
erstwhile village buyer to the nearhv
city over a road that has been built
up for tho motorist’s comfort. Is the
plaint of a central Nebraska man who
writes his observations to tho Lin
coln Journal. Undoubtedly tho auto
mobile has been the means of getting
people away from home. Possibly,
too, it has impelled people to buy
goods away from home—goods which
they are unable to get at home, one
can hardly deny, for instance, that
the motor ear has done much, com
mercially, for such communities as
our own. and it will continue to do
that as long as the merchant in tho
town of the Nebraska City class is
awake to his opportunities and the
merchant in the smaller community
is not. The average small town
merchant has not kept abreast of the
time. Knr one thing lie has never
used publicity, depending upon per
sonality and longevity in busi
ness to pull him through,- His
age-old business methods are not con
ducive to profits in the till, but »s
long as lie refuses to progress ho will
be the loser. Man is a gregarious
and perambulating animat. Given
the opportunity he moves with tho
herd; tho Ford has made it easier
for him to migrate. Man is likewise
inherently susceptible to bargains. It
has been so ever since Jacob and
Ksau made thut memorable pottage
trade, and man will barter and trade
wherever tlie display is temptingly
placed before his eyes, either In the
physical state or through the printed
word. Merely because the Ford au
tomoblle has provided a new form of
transportation to the multitude is
no excuse for calling Mr. Ford an
arch profiteer and an enemy to man
kind. The solution lies elsewhere,
and the man who lives In the smaller
town knows what It is. It's up to
him Jo solve the problem. Give the
people what they want, give them
the service they are entitled to, be
alert, obliging, patient and courteous
—and the neighbor will undoubtedly
prefer to carry on his business
transactions with the friend of a life
time. Hut lie will not be bamboozled

Out of a Job. i
From th» Cleveland New*.
One of the picture actresses most
liked by patrons of cinema theaters
came in for a deal of unenviable no
toriety in connection with tlie Wil
liam Desmond Taylor murder, a Los
Angeles crime that attracted much
atttention a year ago and remained
an unsolved mystery. Now, though
the murder and all Us ramifications
have about passed from public
memory, the corporation employing
the actress announces that her con
tra, t is about to expire and will not
be renewed.
Though the company makes its
statement without naming a reason,
it is conjectured that the young wo
man's popularity with moving picture
spectators has diminished, that her
drawing power and value have gone
down in consequence of her connec
tion with n notorious case. To illm
patrons who admire her still, this
may seem an injustice, particularly
if the severing of her present busi
ness connection is not followed by
the obtaining of other employment
approximately as good. i.
It might be argued with some rea
son that the private lives .and per:
sonal relations of picture posers ought
not to affect their professional value,
any more than’in the cases of eleva
tor operations or street cleaners, so
long iis their professional skfll re
mained unimpaired. But that rea
soning ignores the exploiting of per
sonality and name, so general in all
branches of the amusement business.
Actors, singers, lecturers, prize
lighters, baseball players and many
others are paid in proportion to the
drawing power of their names. They
are well paid, often absurdly or ira
justly so, some may think. If they
fail to protect their greatest nsset
from depreciation or destruction
through scandal in their private lives,
it may be only just that they should
suffer more materially than would
unknown workers, who never, had re
ceived high salaries on the strength
of names made famous largely at the
expense of their employers. A singer
suffers if she loses her voice through
no fault of hers. Should not an
an actress suffer if she forfeits her
popularity?
Other Instances might be cited. A
comedian formerly featured In the
pictures is no longer in demand. A
baseball player has felt moved to
make public protestations of reform.
Whether the public is right or wrong
in demanding respectable conduct of
its favorite, it cannot be denied that
such a force of public opinion exists
in palpable quantity and that Its ef
fect cannot be other than wholesome.
America's Aid.

President Harding speaks by tlie

This declaration was made by the ex

ican Ited Cross, and especially referred
to tlie near east situation ns having
demanded and received relief from
this nation. The government's record
in the near east crisis has proved the
assertion of the president, so far as
if applies to events in that arena.

Shall We .Move Bac kward?
From thu Norfolk News.'
The convention of the Taxpayers'
league which has been in session at
Hustings has developed several pro
posed attacks upon public expendi
tures.
The league proposes to eliminate
federal aid for public roads. A dele
gate asked his colleagues if they were
ready to go back to the old highway
of ox team days. Tills was a pertiner®
question. If we are not ready to ac
cept the standards of olden days; If
we still demand thnt our roads shall
be Improved, how are we to save
taxes by throwing the whole burden
of road building upon the state?
Several other proposals of the
league would, if put into effect, lower
the standards of our high schools and
normal colleges. Before we go to
tills extreme we should frankly ask
ourselves whether Nebraska is finan
cially able to give Its young people
the same educational advantages that
tho voung people of other states are
privileged to enjoy. Especially un
fortunate would he adoption of the
suggestion that supervision of high
schools by the state university be
eliminated. This supervision has had
a great part to do in bringing our '
schools up to their present high stand
ard. Unless we are ready to admit
that we cannot afford to maintain
this standard, the elimination of
supervision even temporarily would
he a mistake which would be hard to
rectify later. If normal school courses
are to be cut to two years, as sug
gested. the standards of tlie treadling
juofessii would be.greatly lowered..
What the delegates fail to take Into
consideration is that onr schools are
furnishing our children with the very
best educational facilities at a cost
much lower than would be possible In
private schools. Even if taxes are high
they are not so high as would be the
expense of educating our children un
der any other system.
The convention’s demand for a 15
per cent reduction of expense is going
at the problem in the wrong way. The
thing to do is to decide just what
services we are willing to give up,
just where we are willing to accept
lower standards, and then make tho
proper elimination.
But there is just the trouble. Spe
cific recommendations are met with
a storm of disapproval. Which is
pretty good evidence that the public
is just about getting Its monev's
worth.

The Danger of Thinking Yourself

You are not going to learn much

your ideas are superior to those of
practically everyone with whom you

As a matter of fact why should you
think tliat your opinion are so nearly
correct and resting upon a foundation
so much more ilrm than others?
Perhaps the carrying out of your
ideas has resulted in a limited de
gree of success when compared to the
limited number of persons with whom
you associate, but if they are so far
superior to the majority of persons
why have you not reached a position
equal to the person who is your su

Probably with your natural ability
you might-have been among the lead i

scents to discourage the thought of

me to be a prudent decision from tho

Omaha.—To the Editor of The
Omaha Bee: Saw all editorial in the
World-Ilerald that shows just how
sincere Hitchcock was on the prohi
bition question. It quoted an oltlcer
of the government as saying he could
'not stop the bootlegging. When he
got one still two took its place.' It
carried the idea that bootlegging
could not he stopped. 1 wonder how
long this officer would work for Gil
bert Hitchcock or for a corporation
if lie acknowledged lie could not cjo
the work, or if Gilbert Hitchcock
would condone the fact and still keep
him. The men have run this old
world since the beginning of time and
have done a pretty good job of it.
As it is better by far than over before
and is getting better all the time, but
I think they can move a little faster
in the right direction. For instance,
let Commissioner Dunn or the city
fathers call all the policemen in and
tell them they have 48 hours to clean
up their beats, and see that they do
It. Then make any one of them, on
whose beat a bootlegging joint Is
found after that time, turn in his star
and club. There would be no need of
a "morals squad,” to arrest one once
in a while and blow a trumpet and
tell they are going to arrest some
more.
Then I would suggest that the legis
lature pass a law that any man or
woman found with liquor on oy in
them be sent to jail until they’tell
where they got it. and for fear they
would not know who they were or
had forgotten give them plenty of
good bread and pure water while In
jail: that would jog their memory and
also give their stomachs a much ■
needed rest.
There are plenty of good men In
Omaha for policemen that are not ex
saloon keepers and bartenders.
Another law to pass Is that when
any one steals, whether as a shoplift
