A message of hope to Europe and America alike is that brief, convincing state paper in which Presi dent Harding requests authority from the senate to join the permanent court of international justice at The Hague. Each day it has become more apparent that the unhappy world condition cannot be cured without the aid of America. Equally evident has been the fact that if America ever is to approach European prob lems again this is not to be as the partisan of any single nation or any group of nations. It is natural, then, that the way chosen finally should be through a court of justice rather than any political alliance such as France sought, or through the League of Nations. If the disputes which bedevil Europe are to be adjusted they must be settled, not from the stand point of national advantage or by the umpire of force, but according to the true interest of human ity as a whole. What America has been seeking is a practical way of getting nations on a common level, so that each would respect the rights of the other, seek to avoid quarrels, drop imperialism, cease to ex ploit backward peoples and uplift them instead. In short, America’s vision from the day it entered the war has been of a world united in friendly under standing, peaceful, prosperous and progressive. The selfish conduct of the old world since the peace, the errors of its statesmen, the blindness of its people, have been discouraging to American interest and good will. President Harding revives the hope for an or dered world in his decision to accept the time as suitable to go into the international court. He an nounced during his campaign his intention to enter into an association with the other nations, and he took the first step last year in the Washington dis armament conference. It is not enough to limit armament—if wars are to be arrested, justice must rule the acts of the nations. If Europe desires to abide by the principles of justice, America is ready to help. That is what the move of the president means. In that position he has spoken with the voice of the people. TRYING TO START A FEUD Democrats joined republicans in the lower hou=e to pass the bill designed to fortify the state bank guarantee of deposits act. In vain did Dr. P. L. Hall attempt to crack the party whip for Governor Bryan ! as he did in the past for Morehead. Only four votes were cast against the measure which Bryan at tempted to veto in advance. Dr. Hall is a national banker, not a state banker, and it difficult to under stand why he should endeavor to influence legisla tion affecting only national banks. Efforts to make party issues out of one bill before another have failed this session. Governor Bryan has been most persistent in his efforts to prevent the members of his party co-operating with the re publicans, but to no avail. The democratic press likewise has striven to turn the orderly process of government into the appearance of a Kentucky mountain feud. As an instance may be cited the stories circu lated over the state which asked citizens to believe that Clyde Barnard, the secretary of the senate, attempted to make away with the 44 bills in which the governor had incorporated his proposals for changing the state government. If these reports were to be believed, only the watchfulness of the governor’s secretary prevented the loss of these measures. On such flimsy pretext is the effort being made to bolster up partisan animosity and suspicion. The plain fact is that when the senate withdrew from the joint session, the custodian of the records naturally carried all his document# with him to the other chamber. There they would have been pre served until they were brought up for presentation or discussion. Had they, by any accident or design, been lost or destroyed, they might easily have been replaced by carbon eop'.es. Those do poor service to the people of Nebraska who seek to set its legislators to quarreling among themselves or attempt to surround the state house with an atmosphere of suspicion. Thus far the legis lators have worked together without undue regard for party lines. The vote on the banking bill shows that, as do the votes on such debated issues as the language and the public utilities bills. Thus far the only hidebound partisan in the whole state govern ! ment seems to be the governor. He neglects no possible opportunity for stirring up party prejudice and strive always to make personal capital out of each issue as it, comes up. WOMANS SOUL HER OWN When Tom Hood sang, “Oh, to be a slave, along with the barbarous Turk, where woman has never a soul to save,” he was voicing or rather perpetuat ing a misunderstanding. Woman does have a soul to save, even with the barbarous Turk, but she ac complishes its salvation better through the grace of her husband. Generally among eastern peoples the status of a woman in the hereafter depends on her relations to her lord and master in this life. Brahmanism, that curious religion of India, which has resisted Buddha, Christ and Mohammed in turn, has produced the rigid caste system and enslaved hundreds of millions in its'hopeless out look, condemns the widow in this world to seclusion and neglect and in the next to a dismal stay and a sure return on a lower plane. Only through her husband can she hope to gain such favor from the gods as will advance her in a rebirth. This explains the suttee, a case of which is just reported from nil Indian village. Widowed and hopeless, the wife voluntarily mounts the pyre that consumes her husband’s corpse, and so seeks for her soul to be united with his in the shadow world, while awaiting reincarnation. If western civilization has any superior claims, it is because of the fact that under it woman has her own soul. Hood’s outburst was a protest gainst an industrial condition, not including the entire scale of human existence. Reunion beyond the veil is anticipated, but the wife need not expect heaven only through her husband’s virtue. 1 t “WHILE THE WORLD WONDERED.’’ Tucked away in a corner of the newspaper the ! other day, between the want ads and the market reports, you may have found a little dispatch from London, Ontario, telling of the last illness of an old soldier. He was not an important figure in the world; his great and glorious day of heroic ac tion befell sixty-eight years before. His passing might have been chronicled in a single sentence which would have given all the facts. It is to the credit of journalism that ho was not thus to be mustered out from the ranks of the liv ing. By a sweep of the imagination some reporter dramatized once more the stirring events of the Crimean war in such a way as to make every reader see and feel them. His story began thus: “Thomas \V. Slmw, who claims to be the last survivor of the famous Tight Brigade, tonight was riding for the second time 'into the jaws of death.' “But the venerable cavalryman—91 years old— i hail not between his knees the charger which dashed upon tlie Russian battery at Balaklava in 1851. Under him was a white-sheeted hospital cot from which, the doctors say, he would never rise.” Though this harks back to an event recorded in history, yet it is not to the sober account of the historians that the mind turns. Who as a boy has not thrilled as he read the lines of Tennyson on the “Charge of the Light Brigade”— “Forward, the Tight Brigade' Was there a man dismayed'.' Not tho' the soldier knew Home one had blunder'd. Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why. Theirs but to do, and die. Into the valley of death Bode the six hundred." The old man, saved from the disaster, “while horse and hero fell,” going now peacefully to his end—how plainly we see through the words of the i dispatch. The event itself and the noble poem of \ the British laureate rise up again in memory. “Cannon to right of them. Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them Volleyed and thunder’d— Hiormed at with shot and shell Be Idly they rode and well. Into the. jaws of Hell Bode the six hundred." The advance on the Russian battery was, as | Tennyson suggests, a mistake, but the glory of ; those troopers was none the less because the reputa j tion of one of their officers was tarnished by this blunder. It is the courage with which the attack was delivered that gives eternal power to the lines of the poet. If this old man on the hospital cot is ; actually as he thought, the last ©nb of that famous I brigade, yet he will not take with him all by which the world remembers that scene. And what an obituary this reporter has given him I Nothing is forgotten in this news story, and there is even evoked the memory of the first woman to organize what now is known as Red Cross serv ice. The dispatch says: “After hi* charge with the glorious 600. Shaw felt upon hie brow the soothing hand of Florence Nightingale—a memory that was his most cher ished possession. And tonight, upon his solitary ride into 'the valley of death.' the soft fingers of the mighty band of daughters Nightingale gave the world were touching his brow, but the old so! dier did not feel them. “His breath came In agonizing gasp*. The end ip near." Florence Nightingale, the lady of the lamp, who by her untiring energy and ability alleviated the suffering of the sick and wounded in that almost causeless war—this veteran is a link with her, too. She had not been welcomed by the military author ities at first, ior it had not been customary to value much the lives of wounded men. There seemed to that prejudiced view something over-soft in nurs ing and they were shocked at the presence of a woman amid the scenes of carnage. But by the time of America’s Civtil war and the Franco Prus sian conflicts, the governments did not hesitate to seek the advice of Miss Nightingale in equipping their military hospitals. When she returned to England from the Crimea, Miss Nightingale en dowed a hospital for training women nurses, and today she is the patron saint of all those splendid women who take the oath of service drawn up by her and into whose hands the care of the sick is given. From Balaklava to the Argonne men have gone forward, undismayed, “into the jaw's of death, into the mouth of hell,” “Theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do and die," but the progress of the world, the advance of civilization and the improvement of conditions under which men live is proof that this has not been in vain. The charge of the Light Brigade and the presence of Florence Nightingale alike are beacons showing the way nian has come, and if war is ever to be abolished and peace pro claimed, this will be because of the high-hearted 1 courage of such as these. When can their glory fad< ' Oh, the wild charge they made A|l the world wondered. Honor the Light Brigade. Noble six hundred.’’ And while the legislature is impatiently waiting for Governor Bryan’s executive commission bill, a lot of hungry democrats arc more impatiently wait ing for a division of the loaves and fishes. America is so rich that it’s indecent, a speaker declares. Many will volunteer for the job of clean ing it up. ___ Homespun Verse fiy Robert Worthington Davie WHEN MARY STEPPED OUT It was Friday night nnd Mary—oldest daughter—lind gone out To n party * f her school friends in a home across the glen.

Reynols: Prohibition Is com monly a success in this community. Violators of the law are punished severely by our court, but the prac tice continues. The 18th amendment has general approval In Chase county and we are fortunate In having of ficers who enforce the law. McCook Tribune. !•'. M. Kimmell: While prohibition in McCook is far from being what its advocates had hoped, because of dif ficulty in its enforcement, it has al ready accomplished beneficial results that are far-reaching. Men who for merly fperit the greater portion of their income for liquor are now sup porting their families and paying their obligations. The unfortunato attitude of a few responsible citizens (ncouruged lawlessness among a cer tain element, but on the whole the ef fects are conceded by many advocates of the liquor traffic to be beneficial. A vote on the question would result in an overwhelming ratification of prohibition. Norfolk Press. Marie Weekes: Prohibition prohib its for the following classes: Those whose respect for the law keeps them within it. and those whose finances keep them from buying the better grade and whose fear of death stops the purchase of the white mule. It eannpt lie called a success in Nor folk except for those whose wills are strong enough to refuse to barter with the illicit dealer, who Is numer ous and not always of the lower class. If every violation of the Volstead act were punished with even mini mum fines, Norfolk could quickly pay off its bonded indebtedness with that revenue. The fact that the prohibi tion laws arc so generally violated in every community is full proof that prohibition does not have either gen eral approval or honest effort at en forcement. Undoubtedly the greater majority of Norfolk people favor pro hibition. We find business men once opposed to it now high In their praise of its benefits, but as long as girls and boys, young men and women who will make the coming generation, continue to regard thee bottle of alco. hoi as something desirable just so long will honest people admit that prohibition is not a success. Those of ue who favored did not expect the habitual drinker to swear off with the paskagn of the law, but neither did we expect to see women and children make it a social necessity. York New Teller.

E. I*anz: Prohibition has been successful In lowering both the qunn tity and quality of booze consumed in this community. It has the hearty approval of the dry and the tearful disapproval of the wets. Orleans Chronicle. 11. If. McCoy: Prohibition and its enforcement In this community, which we feel safe in saying is not an exception to other communities, in the state, Is at best only a partial success. We find it difficult to get an honest expiession from men who are biased In their opinion and pre judiced in favor of the Volstead law relative to the success or failure of' prohibition as we have It today. Pro hihitiev here as elsewhere lias added nothing to the morals of the com munity or decreased drunkenness to any great extent. Hentiment for and against prohibition here we judge to be about the same as under the old saloon days. Palmer Journal. Perry Gage: While it is not as yet strictly enforced, prohibition is cer tainly a success in this neighborhood and conditions are improving, if the proposition were to be voted on again this section would go dry by a larger majority than evir. Wilber Kepubliesn. I am of the opinion that the pro hibition law is observed here ns well as elsewhere, but that 90 per cent of the people favor light wines and beer in preference to our present law. “THE PEOPLE’S VOICE” Editorial from roodora of Thf Morolnp Boo.

Hartington, Neb.—To the Kditor of The Omaha Her: I surely had a good lough over reading 'The Peo ple's Voice'’ today. If my little match touched off such a flame in Mr. Wood ruff, it certainly was worth while. The creature of his first paragraph he endows only with the "Instinct” of the, lower animal, Incapable of rea son. This i reature “is the slave of his desire.*.’’ He argues only to the "purpose" of these desires and in stincts. In his second paragraph he clothes his personage w-ith "reason,” whose conclusions are reached solely by facts," who lias no "purpose” to support, no "wheels’’ to watch go round; no notion but to establish truth. And, as hi* evidence is com plete, his methods logical, only dead -ure facts considered, and there are only absolute contusions possible, of course, ho is Incapable ,,f mistake. Now, I suppose, with the creature of his first paragraph. Mr. Woodruff classes all who do not agree with him. He classes me. Mr. Woodruff says the people of his first paragraph are beyond the pale of reason. They are mere creatures of instinct. To discuss a question with them is s mere waste of time ” And yet. he has wasted time for a half column an swer to my letter. Too bad! I am not "Beelzebub,'’ nor a "for tune teller. ' Not even a psycho therapest. And am not writing to fos ter any "theory” If I had any "pur pose” In answering Mr Woodruffs llrst letter, it was to start the ready tongues of ctiltlat*: and, of course, some good w .ll come out of It I can't say whether Mr. Wood ruff has ever read a work on psy chology or not. 1 think we have n right to conclude from his seeming lack of knowledge on the action of the human mind In its twofold de partment. that he has not. Mr. Woodruff says: "Hypnotism is a form of somnambulism, brought on by artificial action upon tthe nerves of a very weak organism.” I have not space ^iere to define hypnotism as pronounced by psychologists, but it is a foregone fact that neither a weak mind nor a drunken person Is ca pable of hypnotism. Maybe Mr. Wood ruff gave himself the suggestion that ho would not smoke cigars, or abusu Ins wife, or some other definite thing. Perhaps he carried It out. Was he hypnotized? W. M. WAItO.

They will continue to fluctuate in the years to come pretty much as they have fluctuated in the years that have passed, with probably a gradually higher average. The man who would make money farming, however, must not concern himself exclusively with the price—over which he has little or no control. He must do what the manufac turer is forced to do. when competition reduces prices—he must lower his costs. That always gives the individual farmer an advantage—and a very big advantage when he cuts his costs below the average. It is not alw ays an easy thing to do but it can be done.
