NOT A MACHINE-MADE VICTORY.
Inventors as a class are a good deal like poets.
They are apt to conclude, if their brain children are
scorned or ignored, that the fault is less theirs than
that of the public. Thomas A. Edison, in his re
marks on the failure of the Navy department to
adopt his forty-five wartime inventions, may have
grounds for complaint, or he may be speaking
mainly from wounded vanity.
It will be remembered how in the exciting days
when America was preparing to throw its full
weight against the central powers, the popular
mind turned to thoughts of short cuts by which the
enemy would be exterminated by mechanical means
without any great risk of American lives. If one 1
saw a knot of men gathered on the street corner or
before a newspaper bulletin board, one might be j
sure that before they broke up their conversation I
would turn to speculation over what Henry Ford or
Edison would do. Everyone imagined that mar- |
velous engines of destruction were in the making.
It was even a common topic among the Yanks at
the front. They amazed their French and British
comrades with accounts pf Edison at work on an
eleetric device that would strike down the entire
German army in one flash of lightning.
The Ford Eagle boats that were to dear the
seas never got into action. And now Edison re
veals that his contributions to the science of war
failed in many instances to receive so much as a
trial. Some of these, it is claimed, were later
adopted by other nations. A richocheting shell, ex
plained as a bounding projectile that would ex
plode six to eight feet above the ground, was turned
down by the United States, but toward the end of
the war the Germans are said to have resorted to
a similar invention. At all events, it did not w.rt
the war for them. Flesh and blood, and anguish of
soul, not any machine, paid the price and brought
the victory
To American minds there is magic in the name
•f Edison. If he actually was slighted by naval
officers, intent on carrying out their own ideas and
unreceptive to the suggestions of civilian inventors,
the public wants to know it. If his many inven
tions were actually of no more importance than
those of thousands of amateurs, it will be quite a
shock. Edison stands unique today as a man who
confesses that it was not he who won the war.
DEATH IN THE BLIZZARD’S BREATH.
Curiously enough, the saddest part of the story
of the great storm that swept the country last week
comes latest. It has to do with the toll of human
life, taken as a sacrifice to the terror of the winter.
First we had news of how the whirling winds and
drifting snow had interrupted communication. Snow
bound trains and wrecked wires were features of
the early reports. Then came the accounts of how
ships at sea were wrecked, six reported in one day.
Now we get the meager news of human lives lost.
Twenty-eight, in different parts of the storm’s
track, are numbered in the list. Women and chil
dren are among them, and men, too. Exposure and
exhaustion, incident to the stress and severe cold,
are the causes of death. All the accounts are pa
thetic, some are pitiable, pointing fo the inability
of man to safely grapple with Nature when she ex
erts her great power over animate and inanimate
things. Death rides on the blizzard, death in terri
ble shape, and victims are seized without warning.
Yet the blizzard, a mighty manifestation of the
unmeasured energy of natural forces,' brings with
it something of good that is not readily recognized.
Cold biting blasts, sweeping in from the upper
regions of the air, clear away the smoke-laden atmo
sphere that has hugged the earth, bearing off the
disease germs that multiply in the steamy stratum,
bringing a fresh supply of ozone to revivify hu
manity^ So it is not only death that comes with
the storm, but newer life for those who survive.
Nature is as kind as cruel; life comes and ends
and is renewed in endless cycles, and the great
mysterious processes of birth, growth, decay and
death, mystify man now as much as they did in the
beginning. “God moves in a mysterious way His
wronders to perform."
MAN NEEDED FOR MAN-SIZED JOB.
Porto Ricans are not naturally turbulent; they
have some well fashioned notions of liberty, how
ever, and want a chance to indulge a little in the
way of self determination. This was manifest be
fore the island was transferred from Spain to the
United States. One of the difficulties in the path
of progress has been the division of opinion amongst
the people of Porto Rico. Readjustment of social
and political relations incident to the change of gov
ernment has been attended by considerable friction
between the classes; to some degree this has been
made the harder because of changing industrial
conditions. Therefore, the man who goes to take
the position of executive in that island should be
one of uncommon ability, possessed of patience,
tact, and an unfailing sense of justice.
President Harding is about to be relieved of the
effects of a mistake by tho resignation of E. Mont
Reily, who will shortly give up the work of gov
erning Porto Rico. Governor Reily was made un
popular before he re,ached the islands, by reason of
the activity of one group of influential islanders
whose activity brought the matter before congress
last year. Mr. Reily lacked the qualifications neces
sary to overcome this opposition, and affairs under
his administration brought no peace to the people
he was supposed to serve. His withdrawal may
open a way to a better undemanding.
Genera! Edward* of Massachusetts has been
suggested as a nuccessor to Governor Reily. He
will if appointed take to the Porto Rican* some
quality of the assurance of a square deal that Gen
era! Wood took to the Filipinos. At any rate, the
,ob is a man-sized affair, and our Rovcrnment owes
ir, to the people of the island to put a man at the
head of things down there who i* qualified as an
administrator, and not merely a politician.
WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT.
Love of money and a selfiah desire to profit at
the cost of other classes does not explain the ag
ricultural unrest with its demand for better credit,
market and transportation facilities. Something
deeper and finer than this lies back of it all. If it
were merely to be able to buy a more expensive
motor car, or to be able to move to town and livA
on the profits of a farm worked by a tenant, the
improved accommodations sought by the farmers
would scarcely be justified.
The problem is one of living. John Morris Gillette
has written a thought provoking work, “Rural So
ciology,” which makes this plain. He says there
•'From almost any angle viewed, the most needed
thing in the life of the country people is socialize
tlon. This statement recognizes that when measured
by tho demands of modern satisfying society rural
communities are backward. Are the houses and*
home life adequate? Are the schools up to date and
efficient? Do the young people and the older people
find ample and satisfying recreation, amusement and
cultural conditions? Have the people of the cohn
try caught the social point of view and developed
the methods and organizations by which it might be
realized? Such questions as these bring out what is
meant by the statement that socialization is the
main rural problem.
"That the country and country life Is not satis
fying to multitudes of people living on the farm
is demonstrated by the fact that there is a steady
and large flow of population from country to city
In the United States and other modern nations. j
This movement is so extensive in this nation that
every year it Is sufficient to make a city the size
of Minneapolis. We may find thlB great flow away
from'the farms is a necessary one to keep popula
tion adjusted to the demands of a working society,
yet many inquiries into the immediate reasons these
migrants have for changing their residence indicate
that the chief motive for the move is an overween
ing social hunger. The country does not satisfy
their ideals and needs for a larger social life."
Money is not everything—in fact it is nothing
but a foundation for the satisfaction of human wants.
Side by side with the agitation for improved finan
cial conditions in agriculture is a quiet movement
in the homes and on the part of whole communities
for a better organized social life. This requires better
financial means. If the farmers were content to live
as peasants, in solitude and knowing nothing but toil;
if they had no desire for the education of their
children and the comfort of their wives, so much
would not be heard of the agricultural problem. It
is not purely a question of farm income, but of
living.
ALEXANDER ? LOOK AT HENRY.
“How big was Alexander, pa, that people called
him great?” 1
Henry Ford had an idea. It took the form of a
motor car that has run it* way around the world
in a single guise but many times. An English gen
eral is quoted as saying England could not have
won the war in Mesopotamia, had it not been for
the Ford car. The death toll of the World War
would have been greatly extended, but that -the
“flivver” ambulances made toeir way back and
forth between the front lines and the hospitals
under conditions that seemed impossible. On city
streets, in country lanes, wherever wheels carry
passengers or freight, there flits the Ford.
Out of that idea has blossomed a number of
others. Henry Ford bought a railroad, that he
might better control the distribution of a portion
of his great factory's output. He bought a coal
mine, to get fuel; he bought a forest, to supply the
timber he needs; row he has bought a factory to
make his own glass; his own steel mill and rubber
plant will come next, and Henry Ford will soon be
the world’s greatest industrial^ magnate, if, indeed,
he is not already that.
All this grew out of the Idea that took posses
sion of the mind of a hard working machinist a
few years ago. He was a dreamer, but he expressed
his dream in a finished product. The Ford car did
not spring like Minerva, full-armed from Jove’s
brain, but did develop because the man who con
ceived the thought was persistent enough to carry
it through. Around it clustered other ideas, not for
refinement of the car itself; that was the embodi
ment* of simplicity sought, bu for improvements in
manufacturing processes. J'l'w, 3,000 new Ford
cars salJte the rising sun each morning.
Let your mind surround these facts, and how
ever big Alexander may se^in to you, it is likely
that Henry Ford’s greatness will overtop the aiuieut
; Macedonia. “Tall oaks from little acorns grow-,”
and one of the tallest of these days is that under
which Henry Ford makes his plan*.
How to live to be 90 is all well enough to talk
about, but most of us are just now wondering how
we are going to meet the tax collector after the
tradesmen get through with us.
One of Omaha's police magistrates complains that
the color scheme in the court room gives him the
headache. Red paint used to do the same for others.
Denver mint robbers are being gathered in up
at Minneapolis, which relieves Omaha of certain dis
tinction some envious tried to thrust upon her.
Washington street oars are stopped to aid a scien
tific experiment. We know other reasons for doing
the same thing.
Jsmet declares himself as anxious for peace,
yet he would not take it when offered.

THE STRICKEN FAMILY
Grandma's ailing with the flu and wishes she was
dead.
Gr$nd-dad's got the rheumatic and ran t get out of bed.
Mother—weak from toil and grief—can hardly get
about.
And father's got some queer disease the doctor ean't
make out.
Sitter Jane's immensely blue—I hear her moan and
sob.
And brother Jim is dreary, too, because he's lost his
job;
Aunt Sally comes and cries around and makes a
frightful fi»»s.
And swears she can't imagine just what will become
of us.
We get a dozen bills a day—our savings have been
spent—
The landlord says Wre'll have to scoot if we don't pay
our rent;
flic doctor wants his money, too—we're nrarly out
of luel —
The world—though I'm an optimist seems infinitely
cruel.
The neighbors come to pay respects, but that don't
settle hills—
Although I gin- a cheerful word makes easier our
ills;
We taut g. t credit .it the 'ore I i< verv plain loser

BATTLE CRY.
•More than half beaten, but fewless
Facing the storm and the might;
Breathless and reeling, hut tearless.
Here in the lull of the fight.
I who how not but before Thee,
<lod of the fighting elan.
Lifting my fists I Implore Thee,
(live me the heart of a Man!
What though 1 live with the winner*
Or perish with those who fall?
Only the cowards are sinner*,
righting the fight is all.
Strong Is my Foe—he advances;
Snapt. Is my Made. O Lord!
See the proud banners and lances;
Oh spare me this stub of a sword'
Give me uo pity, nor spare me;
Calm not the wrath of my Foe
See where he beckons to dare me
Bleeding, half beaten—I go.
Not for the glory of winning.
Not for the fear of the night;
Shunning the battle is sinning—
Oh spare me the heart to fight!
Red is the mist about me.
Deep is the wound in my side
‘Coward’ thou criest to flout rn*
O terrible Foe. thou hast lied!
Here with my battle before me,

Grant that the woman who bore me
Suffered to suckle a man!
The Indeterminate Sentence
Digest of Nebraska's Editorial Opinion Develops Support
for Giving Prisoners Time Off for Good Behavior.
Krarney Hub.
M. A. Brown: There Is a great deal
to be said in favor of the indetermin

doubtedly been abuses in its admin
istration but these can be corrected
and need not condemn it.
The Wymorean,
S. J. Burnham: While mistakes
happen, made in the administration of
the indeterminate sentence law and
the granting of paroles and pardons,
the iaw is a good one and should not
be repealed. What is most needed
is an intelligent handling of paroles
and pardons based on principles of
Justice and not sentiment.
Columbus Telegram.
Kdgar Howard: The indeterminate
sentence law should bo repealed un
less it can be amended to give die
criminatory powers to the magistrates
of the district court. Under the pres
ent statute, a district Judge is reduced
to the level of a justice of the peace,
having no authority to discriminate
between a first offender and a profes
sional criminal. Thus amended the !
law might serve a good purpose
The present law would be a farce |
were it not a fraud. Hut even if the
law can be righteously amended as
here suggested, another step should
be quickly taken, and that step will
take the parole power away from a
parole board sitting at Lincoln and
empower the district magistrate a id
the county attorney to pass upon all
applications for parole T!w parole !
beard sitting at Lincoln cannot pna
sibly know the merits of such appli
cation for parole. The district Judge
and the prosecuting attorney are
familiar with all the particulars of
ithe crime and often personally famil
isr with the life and habits of the op
plieaqj for parole, thus placing them
In position to determine whether so
, rlety will be served or harmed by the
granting or the denying of an appllca ,
tion for parole.
Hartlngton Herald.
r.1 the opinion of this newspaper
the indeterminate sentence law should

That European Trip.
For years. perhaps. you have

You cannot npare the money and

Two men were discussing this sub

One had Just returned from a win
ter vacation trip, the other was
lamenting his inability to take such
a trip. .
The man of the ocean voyage had
worked 10 hours a day for 20 years,
the other had worked eight hours a
day for tfce same length of time,
troth at approximately a dollar an
hour.
Figuring the extra time. 12 hours
a week for 52 weeks, and for 10years,
the nvin of the cruise had taken in
I12.4S0 more money than the other.
Hut the eight-hour a day man be
longed to n club with dues amounting
to !2 a week, and the $2 more a week
amounted to 14.l«o in the 20 years
The lO hour a day mart spent $3,000
on his trip, hut the other had spent
only $$40 less on his club.
Which was the most worth while,
you can decide for yourself.

Expression Versus Repression. I
Thurston, Neb,—To tbe ^ itor of
The Omaha ^Bee: One need not be a ;
Latin student in order to analyze and :
sense the deeper meaning of the
words “expression" and “repression."
The dictionary Will tell you that each I
of them comes from the word pre
mere to press, plus the suffix ion,
'the act of. The difference, then, lies
in the prefixes and their meanings.
You will find the meaning of ex to
tie “out." and that of re to be "back."
, Therefore, the literal translation or
I interpretation of "expression" Is "the
act of pressing out,” while that of
"repression" is “the act of pressing
! back.”
Let us now consider the application
of these words. We know that the
human soul generates desires and
emotions as steadily and as constant
ly as a working steam engine pro
duces steam. What, then, becomes
of these desires and emotions? One
of three things must liappen to them.
Either they are expressed (and the
results of repressed desiris and emo
tions are far more dangerous than
those of repressed steami. expressed
abnormally and unlawfully, or they
are expressed as the Creator meant
them to he.
It requires a certain amount of
knowledge and of self-control to en
able one to' understand his emotions
and to express them normally and
1 iwrfully. But It Is the duty of each
person not only to express himself j
lawfully, hut also to al'l those under i
his guidance in the expression of
themselves, their better selves, if you ;
phase. And remember that the men
tal and spiritual "makup" of one per- j
son requires that he express himself
in one way, while that of another '
calls for a different form of expres
sion. But expression there should be. .
regardless of what "they say."
Many a person has been been
branded as a failure In life simply
because -m ambitious parent, loving
but shortsighted. caused him to take
up work for which he was not fitted
and which did not give him ari op
portunity for self-expression. Some
times, in the struggle for existence,
