Force fails, but the world is slow to learn the les son. History is filled wjth the story of empires that crumbled and decayed because there was nothing more substantial than military power to back them up. Where vision fails the people perish. The downfall of the old German monarchy should be warning enough to any nation not to repeat its mistakes. Yet France is resorting to the same ruth less method of force now, disregarding both the moral opinion and the practical advice of the world. From a neutral viewpoint it seems apparent that the question of reparations is not the deciding factor in the resolve of France to invade the German Rhine land. The movement of troops proceeds at once from a dream of aggrandisement and from a fear of internal weakness. France, losing population and without the intense industrial development of nations such as the United States and Great Britain, is ob sessed with the fear of falling to the position of a second rate power. It has sought throughout the backyard of Europe to form military alliances with smaller and newer nations that have kept matters in doubt and turinojl. By a secret agreement with Turkish rebels it outwitted the aims of Great Britain and Greece brought the Moslem power back from Asia and again into Europe. Instead of devoting its effort to building up the productive resources of its last colonial possessions it has drilled the African na tives into armieR. The Washington agreement for the limitation of naval armament meanwhile lies un- j signed in Paris. Across the eastern border lies the weak and de- I feated German nation. By the peace of Versailles, 1 it is prohibited from maintaining any real military force, and rained of immense quantities of coal, iron and other materials in the form of reparations. Though the people are industrious, they have not been able to secure enough flood. Some of the owners of its great industries have been able to make rich profits, hut the mass of the people are in want. They have r\pt been allowed to heat more than one room in their ] house, and still France complains that deliveries of coal under the reparation terms are in arrears. Such is the European situation in human terms. | The strategy of the French diplomats has brought, i Italy and Belgium to their side. Doubtless the peo- i pie of these three countries hope to be able to re- i duce their own taxes by a fresh levy on the German ! people. There are limits, however, to such exac tions. The suggestion of the United States for a businesslike consideration of the whole question of , reparations, to fix an amount that the Germans could i pay without absolute ruin has not found favor. The i offer of the German chancellor to give a bond against ; a renewal of armed conflict between Germany and 1 France for the next thirty years likewise failed of consideration. Where is the League of Nations in this hour of Ihe world’s peril? No word of warning or advice has (ome from its palace at Geneva. America has done far more than the league to seek to prevent this dan gerous pass. Soon stories may be expected telling of projected alliances between the German republic *nd soviet Russia. France will accomplish no good for itself and endangers all Europe with its policy of force. No one can prophesy the end of this monumental error. Fortunate indeed is the United States to have kept clear of foreign entanglement* so that it is not directly involved in this crisis. No time should be lost in bringing our soldiers home from the German frontier, though there it no reason for panic about them. Neither our force nor any other can adjust this situation. Eventually a way to peace and justiue will be found. That way lies through a change of spirit in Europe which will permit a revision of the Treaty of Versailles. NOT A TYPICAL CASE. Recently The Omaha Bee editorially bemoaned the practical disappearance of the once familiar “smokehouse” and made a few disparaging remarks about the tendency of the American people to “^ive in cans and cartons.” A good Iowa farm wife took exceptions to the editorial and proceeded to defend her rural sisters. She related in detail how much fruit she had canned, how much jelly and jam she had manufactured, how many vegetables she had canned and how much meat she and her husband had salted down. All of which ia very gratifying, showing as it did, that not all the farm wives were losing the old-fash ioned knack of canning and preserving. But this good Iowa farm wife’s case is not typical, by any means. No more so in fact, than that Arbuckle is typi cal of the army of motion picture artists, or Samson typical of the physical development of the men of his time. Her case was rather an exception that proves the rule. There yet remain with us, glory be! a small percentage of old-fashioned women who take a pride in their culinary skill, and who make a labor of lovo out of the task of canning and preserving and drying and curing. There still linger in the minds of some of the men of a generation now fad ing from the scene of action tender thoughts of luscious pies made from dried pun’kin hanging in strings from the attic rafters; savory sweet corn dried in the birght sunshine of the midsummer days; golden apple butter made from the juice of care fully selected apples; generous rashers of bacon and ham cured in the smoke of hickory chips and still re taining the nutty flavor acquired in the woods by the nut-eating porkers—memories, alas, that seem destined to remain memories fast fading away into nothingness. The Omaha Bee’s acknowledgements and great respect to the good Iowa farm wife who still retains the knack and the disposition, and is not averse to filling the cellar with the canned and preserved prod uct of her own knowledge and industry. May her good example spread until it is followed by a few millions of her sisters. ‘‘Problems Confronting the Petroleum Industry” is the title of a handsome little brochure recently mailed to the newspaper men of the country. It may be some problem, at that, but nothing cempared te the problems facing the consumers of petroleum and its by-products. COMMUNISTS* “ASSAULT ON HEAVEN.’ One of the fantastic accompaniments of the Rus sian observance of Christmas was the “assault on heaven," made by the young communists at Moscow, Aside from its sacrilegious aspect, this demonstration might be passed over as merely a manifestation of student exuberance. Such a deliberate attempt to shock the sensibilities of all the world will not .get by, however, without rebukes from thoughtful people. Heaven has withstood assaults as serious and as I determined as any the young bolsheviks may carry on. Unbelief has not been peculiar to any particular age or people, but its effect has been so slight that when not entirely negligible it has been merely an noying. When the French communists set about to revise all the affairs of humanity, they took steps to abolish religion, declaring, as have the Russians, that all human faith rested on mere myths. This was a curious perversion of the sentiment that had led to the revolution. “Liberty, Equality and Fraternity," in the original conception, carried also trust in Cod. American revolutionists expressly stated their position on this point, and brought out the greatest result ever achieved in human govern ment. The French commune failed, because, in its attempt to liberate the human mind as well as the human body, to establish religious as well as political freedom, it undertook to destroy the cornerstone of human liberty and progress, the foundation and in spiration of all enlightenment. Having destroyed all other anchorage for human effort, and recklessly and ruthlessly scrapped all the products of human experience, these callow Russian youth set about to abolish heaven and all it stands for. When they succeed their triumph will be abso lute. Heaven Will remain secure, because it contains the hopes of humanity of all ages. When man’s j feeble intellect first began to grope for the spark of light glimmering in the darkness, his earliest definite idea was that of a Higher Intelligence. Admit also what ! is lightly alleged, as to the superstitions born of ignorance, it remains true that as man’s intellect de- ! veloped and his mental capacity broadened with each day’s experience, his concept of God increased, and it has been the tribute of the highest placed of scien- j tifle men that sustains the lowly in their unswerving faith in the Creator and His goodness. The Law of Love, which is the antithesis of com- | munism, rests in the end on the existence of divinity j and the Fatherhood of God with the Brotherhood of I Man. Any attempt to carry on one without the other is doomed in advance to fail. Here we may cite our : Russian friends to the closing words of Kiplings “Re cessional:" For daring heart that puts its trust In reeking tube and Iron shard. And valiant dust that builds on dust, And, guarding, calls not Thee to guard— Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet Lest we forget—Lest we forget.” THE PIONEER. The period of strife and hardship that accom panies the development of a country is past in Ne braska, but so recently that we still have the pio neer with us. After he is gone there will be monu ments which will bear witness to heroic deeds that may serve as noble examples to those who follow in his wake. This week these venerable pionears will be gath- j ered in Lincoln from all over the state, and those | who are fortunate enough to be present will live again the simple life of the prairie. The privation and tragedies met by those who prepared the way will be recalled as well, but the suffering and fright fulness will have been'lost in the intervening time that has transformed the event to a matter of his tory. Incidents will be recalled which will result in a monument being erected here or there in memory of some deed of valor or perhaps a sacri fice of life in some worthy purpose. As tourists travel over the state highways,' guide posts will direct them to points of interest, where markers containing necessary data will give desired informa tion. ‘ • No state is without its history of brave and noble deeds, and monuments marking sites of this character will bring Nebraska nearer and dearer to her people. The pioneer realises as no one else the value of these monuments, marking points of historical interest, that will give foundation to the future tales and legends of Nebraska. Just because the full tide of prosperity did not set in the day Preaident Harding was inaugurated, the democratic press indulged in a chorus of denun ciations and “We told so eo’s.” Now that prosperity is returning with gratifying speed the democratic press is maintaining a mumness that would make the proverbial oyster sound like a professional conver sationalist. You may note, in passing, that the bolsheviki have not as yet taken any step* to evict Old Nick and close up his place of business. If the Yankee troops are brought home from the Rhine, some senate orators will have to dig up a new subject. It would seem high time that we adopted the policy of making a prison term a punishment instead of a reward. Well, when the speakership did go wast it came mighty near bumping up against the Wyoming line. Russia's New Attitude Toward Japan 1 Current History Magazine. The line of policy which the soviet diplomacy is now trying to follow with regard to Japan is based on the contention that soviet Russia and Japan have reason to be dissatisfied with western Europe and the United States. Tc soviet lenders argue that Japan, as a newly developed capitalistic power. Is naturally an object of enmity on the part of the older capitalistic poweie. who are attempting to Isolate her, to push her into dangerous adventures on the continent of Asia, and then abandon her to her fate, when resentment and hatred shall have reached their culminating point, so far as Russia and China are concerned, ami shall have led to an open struggle between the island em pire and the two giants of the continent. As an alternative for this, the soviets suggest to Japan a close and friendly rapprochment. They stress particularly the point that "soviet Russia is the only country on earth that really makes no distinction of race and color." They argue that once Japan has come to a friendly understanding with the soviets, she would have nothing more to fear on the continent, and would be in a much stronger position to deal with the other capitalistic powers, while, at the same time, soviet Russia “will give the Japanese the same oppor tunities and rights as she will any other foreigners for the utilization of their skill and labor on Russian ter ritor.l." There is a distinct line of policy in these overtures. Genoa and The Hague have shown, in spite of even the Russo-German Rapallo treaty, that the soviets have not succeeded In breaking the essential unity of the general attitude toward them on the part of the great powers. They are now attempting to break this unity at what they consider Its weakest link—Japan. “From State and Nation” \ —Editorials from Other I\eics[>apers— All of One Mind. Edgar Howard In tho Columbus Telegram Managers of all the banking houses 1 in Columbus are Of one mind today j regarding the general outlook for the | ensuing year. All are ngreed that the ' signs indicate a better business year in 1923 than this city and Its trade territory enjoyed in 1922. And equally unanimous are the bankers regarding tho foundation for their optimism as to the year we aro now entering. When asked to give a reason for the faith that was In them, each of the bankers said, in sub stance; “Better conditions will prevail be cause a better price is now being i>nid to the farmer for all kinds of farm produce.” That sounds good to me, because I have long advanced the argument that there can lie no’ general prosperity which does not follow the prosperity of the farm. Since the first day of the new year I have received many Inquiries from eastern bankers, loan companies and manufacturers, requesting my esti mate of business prospects in Colum bus and this part of Nebraska for the ensuing year. My general reply has been that there Is a marked improve ment over conditions which prevailed one year ago. And now, in support of my position, and as a basis for my belief that 1933 will be a better year than 1922 for this part of Nebraska, let me present some banking figures, taken from the bank reports at the beginning of the new year, comparing them with reports at the beginning of 1922. On the first day of January, 1922, the .deposits in the Columbus banks aggregated $3,302,231.09. On the first of this new year the aggregate depos its have gained nearly a half million dollars. The aggregate of bank loans In Co lumbus is more than |100,000 less than the aggregate of one year ago. This certainly shows that the people of this locality are not paying their old debts by constantly contracting larger new debts, as In some other lo calities. but are actually reducing their debts. Another splendid barometer of con ditions in any city is the institution which builds homes for the people. Well, let's see how the condition of the Columbus building and loan asso ciations at this new year time com pares with conditions of one year ago. In Columbus there are three home building associations. On the first of January, 1922, their aggregate assets amounted to $1,333,000, in round num bers. At the beginning of this new year the aggregate of assets Is $t, 486,000, a net gain of $152,000 for the year. Contemplating these figures, and being In personal touch with the gen eral sentiment of the people of Co lumbus and all Columbus’ trade terri tory, 1 (lo not hesitate to express be lief that the outlook for 1923 Is far brighter than was the outlook for 1922 at this period one year ago. And so it would appear that all merchants and tradesmen in Columbus, and In this section of Nebraska, ought to have good warrant for antiepating a good trade year. Somehow I cannot close this article without once again reverting to the words of the bankers, who have testi fied that present good conditions are largely due to the fact that the Ne braska farm is getting better prices for its produce than it received one year ago. Dividends From Courtesy. From ithe Sen York Herald. About 200 men and women who were courteous and considerate in their treatment of Joseph Bisagno of San Francisco, or who without know ing him gave him pleasure, were re membered by him in his will and have just received substantial legacies un der his will. The beneficiaries include actresses, waitresses, bootblacks, waiters, law yers, judges, physicians, businessmen, the matron of a jail a hat boy and sa loonkeepers. Tho recipients of these bequests have reaped cash dividends for their courtesy. Not all polite persons are rewarded with cash, but courtesy is a good investment. Men and women who dispense cour tesy freely, doing the everyday work of life and meeting the minor crises of everyday existence with a smile, displaying forbearance under Irritat ing circumstances, holding out a help ing hand to Individuals momentarily in difficulties, do not expect money payments for kindly acts. The kindly acts are expressions of good hearts. | They are the fruits of naturally friendly dispositions. Such acts cannot be bought. A surly, mannerless man cannot sue | cessfully feign good temper.

W. H. QUIVEY, (Seal) Notary Publie he hidden. Purchased politeness is a hollow, worthless thing. Truly courteous men and Women do not expect pay for agreeable con duct. Their kindliness is spontaneous, unpremeditated. In every calling and trade are workers who do the best they can because their consciences and tKeir ambitions urge them to. not because they hope to profit. And these are the men and women who oil the wheels of life and help to make the daily grind easier for all of us. I’. S. Dollar Is O. K. From the Kearney Hub. Tile trouble with our country is “too many wise men,” which is to say, too many highbrow theorists with scien tific formulas for everyday Ills that formerly we considered commonplace and that usually worked out their ow n cures. Plain "belly ache” did not call for high sounding cures or the serv ices of noted specialists, and nature usually did its healing work with neither fuss nor feathers. In those days we didn't liave this Tala professor to tell us that the fluctuating dollar is arraying class against class, and suggesting legisla tive remedies. In those days we were ignoratjt, and therefore if not happy, were undisturbed. In those days we were not wise in our own conceit, we accepted most things as a matter of fact, and then went ahead and work ed out our own salvation. In these days we have the wise men,‘Wise even beyond their genera tion. with wisdom superior to com mon sense, everyone trying to find out what to do to be saved, ami nobody really happy, and a distraught minor ity cutting 'cross lots to the “bug house,” We do need legislation occasionally in fundamental things, mostly in line with the Ten Commandments, and there we can very well stop. What ever liberty we have in this world, or salvation in the next, we must earn by our own efforts. The rule that will help nations is the mile that ap plies to individuals, for nations are individuals multiplied. American help can not save Europe, but it can help, when Europe starts w'orking out her own salvation. Of course the American dollar is fluc tuating. in spite of Vale warnings or aught that we can .do by way of legis lative tricks, but it is the best dollar in the world today, and we predict that it will remain the best if every American puts his own best of in itiative and effort into making it par, or better yet, plus: The Lost Word. From the Kansas City Kansan. 't he search for the lost word is not yet over. The WaKeeney World feels*the need of it, and is angry be cause it is not at hand. The World has been seeking to 1* form men, and after a strenuous trial lias found somethingg is lacking. L must be that famous lost word. The people simply will not nml cannot be reformed until that word is found. Says the World: "Notwithstanding the absurdity of it and our frequent remonstrances, a lot of people con tinue to use the expression ‘different than.’ Any born-short ought to know that things lYiay be merely ‘dif ferent,’ or one may ‘differ from’ an other; but not different ‘than.’ It’s a monstrosity." It is. But until that lost word is found it appears to be Impossible to reform the world. Take for example the word Xmas. In spite of all the travail of soul on the part of the Kan san to change human nature in use of that monstrosity, it persists. And you still find reporters who say peo ple are ill "with" such and such dis eases; some even go so far as to say they are "sick" ‘‘with" them: and in spite of the fact that agitation look ing toward reform has been in prog ress for many years, and higher edu cation has sought to distribute light upon this great evil. It is that way in every line of re form. In spite of argument, teaching and agitation, it doesn't seem to get anywhere. There is a screw loose somewhere. The lost word must ac count for It. That word will have to be found, or it seems people never will do exactly what we superior peo ple want them to do. Common Sense Do You Withhold Y’our Sympathy? Do not be so devoid of sympathy! Do not Judge a man harshly without knowing some things which have af fected his life. You have in mind certain ones who are of little use in the world. Perhaps with the same handicaps, you would be of less account than they. Some men of wealth cannot under stand how another man can be so short-sighted and shallow as not to provide substantially for a rainy day. They think that It is possible for anyone to accumulate money. You may be a man or a woman of this kind, devoid of sympathy for the poor man or the poor woman. Y'ou think what you would do with $5,000. say, and you cannot under stand a man who does not make plans readily to invest in a way to make money. Suppose you did not have $5,000. instead had had such a struggle and so much misfortune that it took nil and more than you could do to get together a thousand dollars or less, what would you do? "It takes money to make money.” The man with a family and an or dinary salary finds it possible only by closest economy to make enough to meet his expenses.

Otnalta.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Aa to opinions about legislation, there are three classes of people. One class consists of tVtose v. ITo like to say and to hear others say: "We don't want any more laws; we have too many now." Another class consists of those who are in clined to go to the extreme of clutter ing up the statute books with hasty and ill-advised legislation. The third class consists of those who believe In sane and wise progress!venesn in leg islation, as well as In other things. In tlie recent meeting m our Htate Bar association a report of file com mittee on legislation wap called for by the president, and the chairman of that committee, or some one who spoke for him, answered that ttie committee did not recommend or suggest any leg islation, and "there tire too many laws no».y To my mind this expression suggests indifference, laziness and in clination toward dernagoglem and an archy. Evidently most of the mem bers did not agree with tills idea, for a number of recommendations of leg islation were made by several persons and promptly endorsed by the major ity. Think of It, a committee of law yers saying there are too many laws, and yet making no effort to point out any law that should be repealed or amended. One member presented a resolu tion that the law of indeterminate sentences he repealed, and tho resolu tion was adopted within two minutes. This action seems to reflect the senti ment of a great majority of the peo THE ROLLING STONE. Now beta 1 am, a rotting atone.

The people are tired of such monkey work. The legislators should consider this matter carefully and re peal or amend the law. Probably Uiere is need of a law de fining and authorizing the courts to prevent and suppress unlawful or ganizations and declaring all organiza tions or associations that incite to or approve, in any way, unlawful acts, to he unlaful and. of course, providing suitable punishment. It seems evident, also, that we should have a law to prevent conspir acies to destroy or break down or ' throw into disorder those lines of business on which the public must rely for constant and necessary serv ices, although it may be that such a law should not be enacted without providing some means of settling dis putes between employers and em ployes in a manner that would lie fair to both and protect the rights and Interests of both classes. I think this can be done without creating any new and expensive governmental nr legal machinery. We have enough machinery, let us use it. Let us watch the legislative pro ceedings this winter, and see if we have any legislators who have suf ficient intelligence, force and courage j to put through any needed legislation. ' PERI AH F.
