The ultimate in labor warfare hag occurred down in Arkansas, where a railroad Btrike that has lasted for two years has culminated in the burning of bridges, the lynching of a striker and wholesale de portations. From this distance it is impossible to apportion the blame; all that can be said is that the entire condition is wrong. This country must civ ilize its industrial life. The record of Bisbee, of Herrin and of innumerable other disputes between capital and labor is a black one. Down in Arkansas the general public appears to have interfered, not in any just or intelligent way, but from sheer exasperation. This labor dispute has kept the towns along the Missouri & North Arkansas railway in turmoil for two years. For a time the railroad simply shut down operation, ruining the business life of the district. The loss has fallen on every one concerned—the strikers, the public and the railroad corporation. The cauldron of hate boiled over when a new period of bridge burning began. These towns once more were face to face with isolation, with their trade cut off and traffic at a standstill. Settlement of the dispute appeared farther and farther away. The efforts the railway labor board had counted for nothing and there was nowhere to turn for relief. Such were the materials of the disorder that broke out so disastrously to law and order. The final resort has been had to violence, a matter for sin cere regret to citizens of all classes, whatever their sympathies. The sending in of troops will not undo the wrongs that have been committed. Something more is needed—a spirit of fair play all around, and a tribunal with power and authority to adjust labor disputes with justice to all before they come to such a pass. TO RESTORE RESPECT FOR LAW. The uncertainty, complexity and delays of the law, so noticeable to the public generally, can no longer be ignored by the lawyers themselves. The most aerious consequence of these defects is that they create a lack of respect for the law, which un dermines tha moral fiber of the community. If the operation of justice is defective the rich are more apt to use their wealth to oppress and the tempta tion to cheat, steal and indulge in the whole catalogue of crime is unchecked. It was with these thoughts in mind that a meet ing of distinguished members of the legal profession recently met in New York to urge the necessity of restating the law and simplifying legal procedure. Consider first the fact that Elihu Root, probably the greatest member of the American bar, presided, and the report adopted by this meeting becomes startling. One section, which takes cognizance of popular opinion, reads thus: "'There Is today general dissatisfaction with the adminlslration of jestice. The feeling of dissatis faction is not confined to that radical section of the community which would overthrow existing so cial, economic and political Institutions. If it were we, as lawyers, could afford to Ignore U. “But the opinion that the law is unnecessarily uncertain and complex: that many of its rules do not work well in practice, and that its administra tion' often results .not In Justice, but in injustice, Is general among all classes and among persons of widely divergent political and social opinions.” The remarkable thing is that these lawyers do not attempt to convince the public that it is entirely mistaken. “In our opinion,” says the report, “the most important task that the bar can undertake is to reduce the amount of uncertainty and complexity of the law.” No effort here to smooth over the situation by telling the public how wicked it is to question the sacred nature of legal rigamarole. Ad mitting the faults of the present system, they say: “These defects cause useless litigation, prevent re sort to the courts to enforce just rights, make it impossible to advise persons of their rights, and when litigation is begun create delay and expense.” Having admitted the need for reform, the move ment proceeds to the question of how it is to be done. A conference has been called for next month, in Washington, to consider plans for re stating the whole body of the law. Chief Justice Taft, with a notable array of federal judges, the president of each state bar association, the head of each law school and many noted practicing at torneys will be invited to this meeting. It is seldom that any professional or business class display such a willing spirit under public criticism and moves to clean house from the inside. EUROPE DRAWS ON THE CORN FIELDS. For the third time since 1900 Europe has bought more than 100,000,000 bushels of American corn. There is encouragement for the middlewest in the news that corn exports for last year amounted to 166,003,000 bushels, an increase of 40 per cent over the previous year. This, however, does not equal the record for 1899, when 213,123,000 bush els were sold abroad, but it is much better than the total of 10,726(000 bushels in 1913. The claim that the market for American farm products abroad has been destroyed is not borne out by the latest returns. Doubtless the low price of corn had much to do with the volume of exports, but at the same time the fact that Europe has turned to this source of supply would seem to prom ise a growing demand. Omaha business men who induced the purchase of commeal for European relief work played a val uable part in advertising the Corn Belt However, most of the corn exported from the United States is used as feed for dairy cattle and other live stock. Argentina is the chief rival in this trade, and in the twenty years from 1900 sold nearly twice as much abroad as did the United States. The South Amer ican product sells for 8 to 10 rents a bushel more than American corn, but has had the preference in some countries because of its smaller kernels, which make it suitable for poultry feeding and because «£ its sweetness and lack of moisture. The fact that Italy, Spain, France and Belgium bought five times as much American corn last year aa the prewar average ia important. The Corn Belt needa a larger outlet, and is prepared to fill any gegand, however largo, FINANCING THE SCHOOLS. In the move for public economy it is to be hoped that the schools will not be singled out for any un warranted sacrifice. It would be so easy to stint the children of Nebraska and not feel the effect of it for a dozen years. Especially may those who have no children and who accordingly have little acquaintance with the educational system be ex pected to complain of the cost of maintaining the schools. The average parent, of course, receives much more benefit from the schools than they cost him. There is waste, however, in the present educa tional system. This is not a subject for hostility, but for impartial investigation. The rights of the children come first in this case. If better schooling can be obtained at a smaller outlay, that is to be desired. It is unthinkable, however, that comprom ise with ignorance or illiteracy should be made in order to save any amount of money. It is important that the teachers of Nebraska should be thoroughly qualified for their positions. To lower their standards would be a great mistake. This is a fact to be taken into consideration in con nection with the proposal to shorten the normal school courses. Wage reductions that make the teaching profession less attractive and would re sult in a more rapid change of personnel would un dermine the educational system. Some things a rural community may do in order to improve its school facilities without extrava gance. One of these is to avoid what is some times called the “suitcase teacher,” who lives in town and comes out each day to her classes. An instructor should live and establish herself among the people she is serving. Undoubtedly also the ambition for power and glory' has led many prin cipals and superintendents to demand greater equip ment or a wider curriculum than the circumstances warrant. There is not as great pressure to enroll every country school on the university accredited list as citizens ate led to believe. The Nebraska state legislature now has before it a proposal for an investigation of the expenses of the state university. This resolution arises as much from the fact that there has been no full and definite report of university finances as from any well grounded belief that extravagance has existed there. In a state that takes as much pride in its schools as does Nebraska, nothing is to be feared from such a survey. The entire school system of the state is under scrutiny. The correct attitude for educators to take in this matter is one of full co-operation, not of obstruction. Always it must be remembered, certain technical details must be left to the trained minds of the instructors, but if simpler, more ef fective and less costly methods can be found, all will be the gainer. ONE LINE RIVER-TO-COAST. The Union Pacific and Southern Pacific have reached an agreement as to the use of the Central Pacific. Details of the arrangement are not as yet given to the public, and perhaps never will be, further than the statement that the treaty' con cluded is satisfactory to the Union Pacific. This would be all right, were the terms equally satis factory to the public, which yet has an interest in the transaction that is paramount to that of the two companies. In the beginning the transcontinental line was constructed by two companies, under the mistaken idea that work would be facilitated and the com pletion of the railroad hastened by such methods. The thought back of all the negotiations, in con gress and out, was that the road would be operated as a unit, and not as competing or rival units. Far thest from the thought of anybody, except Collis P. Huntington, was the idea of the Central Pacific being used to blockade the Union Pacific at Ogden, while traffic was being diverted to the Southern Pacific, which was an afterthought on the part of Huntington. Owners of the Southern Pacific are yet loath to relinquish their advantage, or to loosen their grip on the business, and terms ar ranged with the Union Pacific, however satisfactory to the contracting companies, are not likely to em body all that the public has a right to expect as coming from a great transportation system that was so liberally subsidized in the beginning because it was to be of so important service to the public. Shippers between the river and the coast are not yet relieved from the I. C. C. ruling, laid down in the celebrated Spokane case, under which the cost of the back-haul from the coast is added to freight from the river. The supreme court decision in the rail-and-water case still holds. Until the effect of these is overcome by some new application of the fundamentals of rate-making, the region affected will suffer, as it now does. Transcontinental traffic will be benefited to the extent that the Southern Pacific is required to p'»* fair in the matter of freight out of San Francisco. The Union-Central Pacific is the natural route, it is shorter and easier, and business should be the gainer therefrom. No good reason is known why com merce and industry should pay to maintain the cost of operating roundabout and difficult routes, when a direct and easy way exists. Flour exports from Nebraska in November last were 1,651,851 barrels, an increase of 305,636 bar rels over the corresponding month in 1921, if you want to know what the millers are doing. . 1 " ■ ■—11 " 1 11 - 1 1 . Clarifying the Herrin Case From the St. lands Post-Dispatch. —— By the rulings of Judge D. T. Hartwell, before whom the Herrin massacre case is being tried at Marion, 111:, extraneous and fictitious issues with which an effort has been made from the beginning to com plicate it have been cleared away and the road has been made straight for a decision on its merits. Even since the beginning of the investigation which resulted in indictments and the present trial, there has been a clamor about "capitalistic” persecution and alleged attempts to disrupt organized labor. It was based mainly on the interest manifested by the Illinois Chamber of Commerce which took the form of raising a fund for the expenses of the investigation and prose cution. Incidentally, there was much talk about the use of "gunmen” in labor disputes and complaint about federal secret service men having aided in the investi gation. The attempt was made to show that the case was a Ufe-and-death struggle between capital and labor. But Judge Hartwell has ruled that all such testi mony Is Incompetent and has excluded it, holding that the history of the "gunmen” and the contributions of the Chamber of Commerce have nothing to do with the case. The rulings establish the case for what it is, a trial for murder of five men who happen to be members of a labor organization, but whose connection with that organization raises no special presumption either of guilt or innocence. Judge Hartwell, in eliminating the spurious issue of capital vs. labor, has rendered a real service to organized labor, in compelling the abandonment of that isaue, because no greater mistake was ever made than was made b£ the leaders and lawyers of the United Mine Workers in attempting to justify the Her rin crime and trying to divert public attention from it by pretending that the prosecution is an attack of cap ital upon labor. ■_____ : '“From State and Nation” —Editorials from Other ISewspa/fers— _— - - Political Prank*. From ths Kansas City t>rov*rs Teiesrtm. Politics, a* expressed in the votes of the people, if that be politics, plays some peculiar pranks. As the result of the exercise of the suffrage of the people last fall we see Missouri with a republican governor and a democratic legislature. Over in Kansas the result was the opposite. Kansas has a democratic governor and all the other state officials and the general assembly is republican. These freaks of politics act, in a way, as a corrective influence on men that are in power. It will be recalled that Thomas Jefferson said "In ques tions of power then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bend him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution." The sage of Monticello. who played the Addle by ear and designed his residence at Monticello on purer Grecian lines than any Greek of an cient days ever conceived of. saw men inclined to usurp power and he want ed them held in check by the chains of the constitution. I>ow in Missouri and Kansas we have governors of opposite political faiths, opposite ideals, different in every way, not thinking in the same grooves, and coming from different walks of life. Each is leveled down and held down by the power that the constitution of each of the states has put in the direct and personal repre sentatives of the people. The legis latures as well as the governors are also bound down by the ehalns of the constitution, for no laws can bo passed in Missouri or Kansas that are con trary to the constitution of the United States. On the other hand the legislatures are bound down by the vetoes of their governors, except In the case of the over riding of a veto by a legislature. There might be such a partisanship in Missouri or Kansas that the legis latures, for pure political cussedness, might over-ride a veto and pass n law over the governor’s protest, but it would have to be a law that was in keeping with the fundamentals of the constitution of the United States and in keeping with the common law of justice and equity or it would be time wasted. Kansas and Missouri, with their bifurcated state governments, will offer interesting object lessons In at tempted harmony between the leg islative and the executive bodies, and it is to be hoped that in the interest of the public good the two will see alike In Justice and equity and that something worth while will be ac complished in both states, regardless of the political situations that are po tential in strife if either side wants the sword rather than peace. It might be well for the members of the various state legislatures now in session to be reminded of the fact that a great many people put politicians In the same category with "good Indians,” and we of the west know what a “good Indian” was in the parlance of the plains. Defective Drivers. From tbs Louisville Courier-Journal. Discussion of the mental capacity of persons who drive automobiles recklessly, menacing life and proper ty, is passing from jest to earnest. Sometime ago a Chicago paper took a fling at “The Moron at the Wheel” in a spirit of contemptuous jesi. ~'.e ceutly judges here and there have dis cussed gravely the mental state of persons who step on the gas without consideration of the rights or the safety of others. A recent departure in penology Is the institution of mental tests, in De troit, to ascertain what brain power the road hog and the speed maniac commonly have. The purpose proclaimed is to in flict severer punishmenst upon per sons of mental capacity than upon the mentally deficient. That may be justice, tempered by mercy, insofar as tho drivers brought into court are concerned, but the public demands justice, and justice to the public in volves depriving the mentally de ficient of the privilege of driving au tomobiles, while puiflehing the men tally sound for violating the law. This view is expressed widely. The ultimate result may be the institution of mental tests to determine whether persons who want to operate automo biles should be allowed to do so There is a law in Kentucky, and it is a good one—that children under 14 years of age shall not drive automo biles. There never was any objec tion to the village Idiot driving a horse. But It often was true that a horse, by its own intelligence, saved 'he fool at the reins. Exceptional intelligenece is not nec essary to the successful and safe op eration of an automobile. Many driv ers who possess adequate Intelligence are dangerous to others because they are not morally fit to be allowed to Daily Prayer Offer unto God thanksgiving.—Pi. 60:14. We Implore Thy blessing, our Fath er. Deliver us this morning from all our doubts and all that repels, and draw us near to Thse by all those en couragements which comfort the soul and which strengthen our faith, our hope, and our fidelity to Thee. We confess our sinfulness, and we be seech of Thee, day by day, to forgive our slits, and everything In us which offends. Give us not only clearer light, but grace to walk in that light. We pray that Thou wilt make our strength great when our burdens are heavy; that each of us may have a consciousness that God thinks of him, and overrules all things for is good. May the sweetness of Thy presence and the light and the joy which spring from Thy heart, bo the portion of each of us. May we be more and more de voted in prayer; more and more earn est for the salvation of men; more and more vigilant in looking after those who are around us; more and more de sirous of helping one another, bearing one another's burdens, and succoring those who need help. Wilt Thou com fort such as in bereavement mourn the loss of those who were dear to them. We again pray for the forgive ness of all our sins, and the conscious ness of Thy continued favor and pres ence. And to the Father, Son, and the Spirit shall be praises evermore. Amen. REV. J. W.

Dullards will tell you that women are not so inventive as men, that they don't take out as many patents. They are so ingenious that they don't have to. For Instance a woman can take a hairpin and with It she can do all that is doable. She can pick a lock with it, pull a cork, peel an apple, draw a nail, beat an egg, do up a baby, sharpen a pencil, dig out a sliver, Jasten a door, hang up a pic ture, open a can, take up a carpet, clean a lamp chimney, put up a cur tain, cut a pie, rake a grate fire, make a fork, a fish-hook, an awl, a gimlet, or a chisel, stop a leak in the roof, regulate a range, turn over a flapjack, caulk a hole In a pair of trousers, whip cream, reduce the pressure of the gas meter, keep bills and receipts on tile, stir butter, cut patterns, clean a watch, untie a knot, tighten win dows, reduce the asthma of tobacco pipes, fix damaged toys, improve sus penders, cut a cake, jab tramps, but ton gloves and shoes, put up an awn ing. In short, as said before, with a hairpin a woman can do anything she wants to. Against War. From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Leaders of men and of callings in New York have issued an appeal to their countrymen to side with them In declaring and working against that state of mind which leads to war. To get rid of war there must. be a public opinion In all lands determined that war, that Its imagined glories and its hideous reality of carnage, shall cease to be. The present appeal is clearly and simply put. There are many on earth who were not sufficiently lessoned by the recent four years of abomination that swept In the whole of the world directly or indirectly. They have not felt the weight of the suffering of noncom hatants during and since the active hostilities. If mankind, after nineteen cen turies of the Christian gospel and ages of piety that never knew a creed or any sectarian confines, still wants massacre Instead of justice and char ity and gentleness, the voice of man kind will so pronounce and decide. If lawlessness is desired and not law; if vagrancy is preferred to labor; If in solvency Is to supplant credit; if brute violence Is to prevail over morality and peace; If misery for one and all shall replace tranquility and happi ness—then let those eager for battle have their way. But that is not the choice of the sometimes forgotten and often inarticulate millions. It is the way of selfish politicians and dema gogues not entitled to their will. Oue declaration of citizens, however thoughtful, however eloquent, will not turn the scales and result in a right decision. But many such protests have a cumulative force that must be heard above official arrogance, the rat tle of the saber or the clang of the Iron heel. A warless world may seem a millennial dream In our time, hut it must come, and it is an Inspiration to bo cherished till the dawn of peaca, Common Sense No Good By Cross Looks. Why do you allow that disagreeable expression to set and overshadow your face so many hours of each day? Isn't it possible for you to be earnest and interested without that clouded expression? You need not smile all the time, that would he too much, but why go to the other extreme and look cross and ugly so much of the time? If you consider it necssary for you to cultivate such an expression in order to be considered thoughtful and thoroughly interested and you want to impress the fact that hard business rules your place Instead of matters of a lighter nature, you are choosing the wrong way to make this impres sion. There is too muta grouchinoss in the business world. It is not necessary, to business suc cess. No more is accomplished by looking cross about it and unnecessarily Is suing commands. Workers who must be put under the lash to got anything accomplished are not valuable. Get rid of the employes who will not work unless you force them to dig in for it takes too much out of you and the result is not worth the effort. 1. styleeas (Copyright. 1923.)

Alexandria, Neb.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Being connected with the schools of Nebraska for the past 35 years, both as a teacher and a member of the school board. 1 have made quite a study of the school laws of the state. I see that two bills have been Introduced Into the legislature concerning high schools. One bill is that the free high school attendance law ho changed and the price of tui tion be changed to $2 per week In stead of $3 per week, the present price paid. Should this bill pass u.nd be come a law it would work hardship on many of the high schools. During the 1921-1922 school year the board of education of Alexandria schools de cided that they would admit the high school students at 32 per week. 1’n forseen expenses that arose after the budget was made up, and it was de cided that the attendance to the high school could not be Justified short of 33 per week. Another bill Is for the county to pay the high school tuition Instead of the district in which the student re sides paying the tuition. We do not believe this law would be as good a law as a township high school law. We have the figures at hand in our own township. To illustrate, in Alexandria precinct there are 11 school districts, viz: Nos. 4, 6, 10, 14, 16, 21, 24. 30, 36, 52 and 85. These 11 school districts would maintain their own district school up to the ninth grade. The combined 11 school districts would be organized into a high school controlled by a board of trustees elected by the voters of these 11 school districts. The eighth grade graduates of these 11 school districts would be promoted to tho precinct high school. The combined valuation of these 11 school districts is 33,600, 000; a 3-mill annual tax in the high school limits would support a good, strong high school after tho high school building was established. What would be true in Alexandria township or precincts would likewise work out in 90 per cent of the townships in Ne braska. During the period of getting away from high taxes, why not decide upon some practical and feasible plan and lower taxes? Can you beat the township high school system? What is true of the township of Alexandria would likewise be true in all the thickly settled counties in the state. It would work just as well at Wilcox, Bertrand and Elk City. I would like to have some member of the legislature who is in favor of better schools after reading this letter in The Omaha Bee, draft some bill of this nature and push It through the legislature this winter. Here Is for better schools. L. H. THORNBURGH, A Member of the State Teachers’ As sociation. Radio Prats.

We understand that Fort Omaha has an aerial, the guy wires being all In one piece instead of broken up. If this be true, and we believe it is. then it is r.adily understood why they give us so much Interference. This could and should be corrected, and we be lieve a little pressure of some kind should be placed in the proper spot to bring about the desired result. We truly believe we have expressed the thoughts and convictions of every radio bug In Omaha and vicinity owns a radio phone receiving set. ’* We would rarlainly appreciate any thing you might do and you have our assurance that we will back you up in moat anything in the way of cor recting some o£ these faults.
