JUSTICE BETWEEN NATIONS.
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.

“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.

Prohibition Out in the State
Nebraska Editors Express Various Opinions Concerning
Success of Dry Laws i n Their Communities.
Imperial Republican.
W. J. 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.
It has been BO years since Tork
had a saloon, and at least 25 since
j there has been one iu the county.
I .lust nuw a vigilant corps of officers

lections from occasional bootleggers
and the sale of confiscated cars, but
we are making hay while the sun
shines because we don't expect such

llildredth Telescope.
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.

flight Back at Mr. Woodruff.
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.

Better Farming
The prices of farm products will be higher ; then later they
will be lower. 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.
A well-edited publication like The N'ehraska Farmer,
with the real interests of the farmer ever at heart, can he of
great value to farm owners in poihting out the way to reduce
costs That is why it pays every man or woman in Nebraska
who is interested in agriculture to read it regularly.
