STEPPING ON THE GAS.
The prompt manner in which the house of rep
resentatives has approved the settlement of the
British debt is nothing short of astonishing. It
shows what congress can do in a pinch. At the
overwhelming sentiment of the country that the
sible to handle other matters with the same degree j
of expedition.
The explanation is to be found in the force of
public opinion. Once it is made certain that the
overwhelming sentiment of the country favors a
certain line of action, the lawmakers usually re
spond without delay. Public opinion has been un
usually active in regard to the war loans made by
America. The subject was first brought to the 1
front of discussion by suggestions emanating from '
London in favor of general cancellation. A group
of American financiers took up the propaganda, as
suring the people that this great sum could never
be collected, and declaring that it should be re
garded as part of the national contribution to the
war.
^Public opinion put a damper on this talk of
cancellation, with the result that Great Britain
was brought to toe the mark. Its wartime borrow
ings from the United States treasury had amounted
to more than $1,000,000,000, and Americans could
not be induced to regard this as a gift. When the
British finally offered to accept the terms offered
by the American debt funding commission, public
opinion at once called on congress to clinch this j
with its endorsement.
One of the gratifying things about the settle
ment is the number of democrats who laid aside
their conventional attitude of opposing everything
emanating from republican sources and voted for
the settlement. The democratic press had been
distinctly nervous lest partisan feuds would hold j
back this measure, which promises so much towfisd
world stabilization. Public opinion made itself felt; ]
attacks on the arrangement were slight and those
democrats who voted against the measure were j
fewer than those democrats who supported it.
Altogether this is the most encouraging exhibi
tion of good sense in congress that has been seen
in some time. If public opinion is to claim the
credit, then perhaps public opinion must take the :
blame for the condition of doubt and delay that
surrounds a number of other bills that have been (
banging fire for so long. Lively interest in and j
general agreement on a matter of national im- ]
portance meets quick response from congress.
A NEW MOVIE SCANDAL.
Someone claims to have known Rodolph Valen
tino when he worked with his hands for a living.
Everyone concerned in the discussion appears to
feel that there is something disgraceful about this.
As near as can be judged, the sheik of the movies
is moved by the fear that such a report if un
contradicted might lessen his popularity with romanti
cally minded admirers. A philosopher could extract
considerable material on American life of today out
of this situation.
Even those servants on a Long Island estate with
whom he used to work are inclined to patronize
Valentino. This is a rather astonishing exhibition of
inverted snobbishness on their part, starting as it
does with the assumption that one who has been
their associate in the servants’ hall can never he
worthy of fame.
The ballroom proprietor who asserts that V al
f ntino used to polish his golf clubs shows himself a
snob, but proves nothing else.
Valentino himself is inclined to deny having ever
performed any menial services since he left his
father’s farm in Italy. Instead of being a gardener’s
helper he claims to have been “head landscape gar
dener” for a millionaire. His lily white hands have
never been soiled and calloused.
How well docs Valentino understand American
standards? In the past men have felt free and proud
to tell of their humble beginnings and of the strug
gles by which they came to the top. However, their
appeal is to a different class than that of a movie
idol. For all that, the story of Valentino’s life would
in itself make an interesting picture. If he has
known poverty and hardship in the past the only
thing disgraceful about it is that he or anyone else
should feel that it reflects on his pr<*ent success.
If this be a movie scandal, it is one that can t hap
pen too often.
WHEN ENOUGH IS A-PLENTY.
A man has just passed, out of Columbia univer
sity, after having been a student there for forty
years. He was a classmate of Nicholas Murray But
ler, who is now president of the university. In the
four decades of his experience this man hus ac
cumulated about every degree the university can
bestow, and has all but exhausted the study of known
subjects. His most recent venture was a course in
paleography of America, which means ancient writ
ings or inscriptions.
He gives as ins reasons for withdrawing from the
university that he can no longer abide the notoriety
thrust on him by the newspapers. If he does not
put to use some of the extensive knowledge he has
acquired as a student, he will have little occasion to
grumble about newspaper notoriety in the future,
for newspaper space is too valuable to waste on
“dead ones,” unless they arc in the Tutenkhamun
class. He may get real fame from th" application of
his profound learning, or he may simply drop out
of sight.
“A little learning is a dangerous thing.” wrote
Pope, advising all to “drink deep, or taste not the
Pyerian spring.” Forty years of steady appearance
at the class room would seem to bo enough, how
ever. Men with scarcely that many weeks of school
ing have been of immense use to the big world; we
may now see how well the years of student condi
lion have prepared an individual to help the cause
of humanity in any way.
One of our courts is going (o try to establish
the life of an overcoat. It will be inter* ting to watch
thp outcome, but some of ti can ell how long we
k have to make one last.
“ARE WE DOWNHEARTED?”
Mr. John J. Bigtown rubbed his eyes, cleaned
his glasses and read the item a second time. Yes,
there it was, in cold type, the announcement that
Deshler, Neb., it putting on an automobile show. Of
all things, and where is Deshler? Mr. Bigtown
looked up the atlas, and found that Deshler is a dot
on the^ prairie out in Thayer county, and went a
little further and found that its population is 960
or thereabouts.
Not much of a town for an autoshow, is it?
Weli, let us see. In 1922 Nebraska had an official
registration of one automobile for each 5.16 of
her inhabitants. She will have even more ibis year.
That ought to justify an auto show in any town
of 1,000, for it means nearly 200 autos in such a
community, and that is some show in itself.
How can this be possible?
From a trsiness standpoint, 1921 was a bad
year in Nebraska, and in some respects 1922 was
not much better, yet there was an improvement.
How about 1923? The year is young yet, but here
are some figures on which to base an estimate. These
are farm prices on December 15 of the years:
1921. 1922.
Hog.$5.50 $ 7.00
t'attle . 5.10 6.60
Veal calves . 6.20 7.50
Sheep . 4.40 7.10
Lambs .. 8.20 11.00
Farm prices for the following products in Ne
braska on January 1 of the years mentioned were:
1922. 1923.
Timothy .$8.30 $11.40
Clover . 8.80 11.60
Alfalfa . 9.00 12.66
Wheat . 0.86 0.99
Corn . 0.28 0.58
Oats . 0.22 0.36
Barley . 0.28 o.46‘
Rye . 0.82 0.65
Potatoes . 1.11 0.48
Butter . 0.36 0.41
Eggs . 0.41 0.39
Some little further measure of how things are
improving irr Nebraska may be gathered from this
showing on livestock, the figures being for January
1 of each year, and the farm value for 1923:
1922. 1923. Value.
Horses .910,000 901.000 $45,855,000
Mules . 112,000 114,000 7.980.00O
Milk cows _ 553,000 570,000 32.490.000
other cattle ..2,470,000 2.700,000 85.860.000
.Swine .3,680.000 4.232,000 50,984,000
Sheep . 596,000 733,000 5.937,000
Only three states lead Nebraska in number
of swine on January 1: Iowa, Illinois and Missouri,
and the latter state is just barely ahead. Each of
these animals is worth substantially more to the
farmer than a year ago.
Should we go farther to prove that Deshler, or
any other town in the state, is justified in having
an automobile show, and without making vain dis
play or extravagant expenditure?
A GOOD BILL TO KILL.
Particularly do cities need to be saved from the
menace of unintelligent voting. There is a bill in
the legislature which in effect would permit illiterate
voters to be herded together and delivered to any
set of candidates who-stand in with the petty bosses.
This is Senator Larkin's “ignorant voters' bill.”
As things now stand a voter who can not read
must choose between the candidates on the ballot as
the judge reads their names off. Under the proposed
change anyone claiming to be illiterate can hand the
election judge a prepared list and have him mark the.
ballot accordingly. The privilege exists now in the
rural districts, but amounts to little there because
there are no large blocks of citizens subject to the
dictation of a boss.
The list system would place a city like Omaha at
the mercy of organized ignorance. Election manipu
lators would be enabled to make sure of the delivery
of whatever votes they may have influenced or
bought. With a list such as that an endless chain
of uninformed voters could be run through the polls
as cattle to the slaughter. Senator Saunders, speaks
for the best interests of Omaha in arguing against
this bill, which would benefit no one but political
gangsters.
The house postal committee has decided that the
communities where air mail landing fields are
maintained will have to furnish them to the gov
ernment, free of cost. This little piece of cheese
paring will be well appreciated by the people of
Omaha.
Motorists who ignore the golden rule summons
are not only making it tough for themselves but for
others. A little more, and the rule will be “Take
him down," nnd “tell it to the judge,” the same ns
with ordinary offenders.
It doesn't make so much difference what you call
your dog, if he has sense enough to know “his mas
ter's voice.”
Soldiers returned from the Rhine are finding out
that Sherman was right. A dollar in Savannah is
just 100 cents.
The county treasurer ran out of auto license
plates, and he was not having a bargain sale, either.
“Little drops of water, little gobs of mud, send
our fertile farm lands to swell Missouri's flood.”
Kelly Field is keeping up the rcpuation it mado
during the war.
A combination of gasoline and bootleg booze is
bad wherever you try it out.
The legislature has no cause to complain of not
having work ahead.
At any rate, Samardlck is not a “dud.”

Immigration and the Middle West
Nebraska Editors Debate Restrictions on Admitting More
Unskilled Labor From Foreign Lands.
SrottsblnlT News.
George Grimes; Present restrictions
on immigration should be either kept
where they are or the bars made a
little bit tighter for a few years. This
region lias provided a home for thou
sands of immigrants of German-Rus
sian descent and, while in the end
they will make good American citi
zens, we have learned that it takes
time to assimilate them. With sym
pathy for them and a desire to help,
it nevertheless seems ill-advised to
permit vast hordes of new immigrants
to enter our shores before our present
alien problems are fully settled.
Blair Pilot.
Don C. Van Deusen: The general
feeling in any purely agricultural
community is that there should be less
rather than more restrictions on Im
migration; in fact, that there should
be no limitations put upon the intelli
gent, clean, healthy man and woman
- who seek our shores to better their
! condition, both financially and politic
ally. It is only from labor union clr- !
cles the agitation comes for restric
tion of Immigration, that wages might,
be kept up and that there be less j
competition for the job. This may be
reasonable enough at times when
work is scarce and men who honestly
want to work can't get it, but when ;
industry is retarded for lack of labor- i
ers then we suffer as a nation and ft
false standard is set up through the
arbitrary attitude and independence j
of labor. If tlie old countries are
crowoled and starved and we have to
feed them anyhow, they had as well
some of them come over here and
help raise the food.
Kails City Journal.
Aaron Davidson: The prime reason
w-hy so many aliens constitute a class
of undesirables is that they are slow
to understand our customs and con
sequently become a problem until nat
uralized. If a system can be devised
whereby only literate immigrants,
sound in body and mind, will be ad
mltted then the limit will take care
of itself
Seward Iliad)-.
Mrs, E. E. Bctzer: In considering

The Home and the New Day.
C'ozad, Neb.—To the Editor of The
i Omaha Bee; All Impulses originate
in the home. Everything good or bad
! in the world has its beginning there,
i Every home is a mould and its P/O'i
! uce an exac t duplicate of its •'own
i ranting. Home quality makes indl
t vidual worth, individual worth gen
ders virtuous prosperity, and virtuous
prosperity builds nations.
Our national problems are becom
ing more vexatious every day, and
the average citizen looking on feels
utterly helpless. We long for the old
I days when congress turned out sure
I fire legislation. Looking back, we see
congress as a good dandy protecting
his children, but wltji their help. To
day they are spoiled. They expect
the old man to do it all.
We need a revision of ideas and a
reconstruction of old ideals bn how to
live in this new day. The responsi
bility rests upon the home.
Clean morals are the first essentials
in a nations life. Emerson said:
i "Wherever there is depravity th«re is
a slaughter-house style of thinking."
it is very evident that the world can
use a few more clear thinkers. We
must have them in spite of the ten
dency in dress, manner of speech and
unholy indulgence to rile the stream
of pure thinking.
A clean man is made in a clean
home. If he is not taught at borne
then he's never taught, properly. And
he must be taught. Man is not self
prompted to virtue, quite the con
trary. He is clean only as he is edu
cated to be clean.
Industry is the second essential, a
quality acquired at home. Improper
conceptions of thrift in the home ter
minates with labor riots. If the home
permits ldlei;es« then society must en
dure the criminal. Teach a boy to
faithfully apply himself and he will
come to love his work. Toil is recre
ation to the man who loves his work,
otherwise it Is drudgery and he counts
the hours until quitting time.
Education, the third essential, is
dependent upon the home attitude A
i hild without home backing is greatly
handicapped in school. The turmoil
in Russia teaches us the primary im
portance of education. One thing that
is sapping the life of America is the
mediocre mind of the foreigner within
our midst.
Last of all. a man needs the spirit
ual to put hint in tune with God's
universe. This quality is almost
w holly instilled in man through home
influence. Breathed out upon the
fragrance of the air the spirit of God
is broadcast as celestial music from
the royal anthem of heaven. The child
from the good home hears it first.
We depend upon the existing social
order, which is the public conerlence
at an average, to sustain us. To in
jure domestic tranquility a high aver
age must l>e maintained, and that's
up to the home. E R K.

Did Your Ford Start
4 Hard This Morning?
Hard starting and poor pert c-rtr. cnee ,n co.d weather
have always been bad enough, but these difficulties
become worse ea-b year because of fuel cor.dtion*.
bpark plugs with the ordinary smooth-surface per
ceiain permit an accumulation of soot, particular »
when the choker is used to any estent. Upon stop
ping the engine in cold weather the gummy depo* •
on the surface of the porcelain will harden, causirg
short circuit and making it almost impossible to star.
Tnese troubles of hard starting and poorperform
ar.re are esperie' e-in cold weather by most motor
ists and particularly with oid cars.
Manw motorist* resort to priming. but to amount
of priming will start a motor m which the p.-g a~c
aborted with carbon. f
With AC 10~5 Carbon Proof P.ug* the raw-too'h
edges of the high temperature ti.-.s do not permit the
carbon to accumulate over the entire surface. «* these
thin edges heat up rapidly and burn away th*. soot
before it turns to carbon. This effectively breaks up
short circuits, makes for easier starting and a better
running engine.
C 1075 Carbon Proof Pings facii ’ate start-.-.g
.! give a swret-runr. rg motor to all Ford cars,
even old ones that pump oil.
When a motor is out cf tur.e it often happens that
costly repair bids are incurred, various adjustments
made, and finally it is found that new spark plugs
are the remedv. Avoid this expense bv first putting
in a new set of AC's.
Put a set of AC lOTs in tour ear todav. If your I
Ford dealer will not fupply you, any other good
dealer or gargge will meet your needs.

A Log Jam Is Dangerous
l'he longer it holds, ii.e more dangerous it becomes,
and when it breaks, it usually results in considerab!
damage to some one.
A log jam occurs in merchandise when a large
amount of goods, for which there is no popular de
mand, is sold to jobbers or retailers, and sticks on their
shelves.
The longer it sticks, the more dangerous it becomes,
and some one is likely to suffer damage—often both
the manufacturer and the retailer.
Merchandise known to the great agricultural class
of Nebraska i« seldom stuck in a iam A part of our
business is to help keep commodities moving with the
