( HAPPY ENDING OF CAPITOL DISPUTE.
The joint legislative investigation of the new
state capitol has cleared up all the clutter surround
• ing this project, and work can now proceed without
being hampered by any of the differences of opinion
and practice that have existed in the past. If ns a
result of these hearings closer watch he made for
possible economies, there will be a net gain to the
people of Nebraska.
No indication of any crookedness was found.
Neither is there any report of “gross incompetence”
or “gross negligence” which George E. Johnson
charged against the designer, Bertram G. Goodhue.
It is impossible to read the report and feel that the
conduct of the architect was in any way different
irom that which would have been followed by any
member of his profession. In the single respect of
■ failure to ask for competitive bids on certain fittings
where he desired a particular brand of workman
ship does the committee use the term “negligence"
in veferring to the architect.
One recommendation of the committee js par
ticularly useful. That is that the state appoint a
deputy inspector to supervise the construction of
public buildings. This is in accord with the law.
. Too much should not be left to the architect to de
cide. It appears from the evidence that the capitol
commission relied on Mr. Johnson for this super
vision, although he maintained that the architect
himself should be held fully responsible. AU in all,
the investigation will serve the useful purpose of
putting all those connected with the new capitol on
their toes. Mr. Johnson’s motives may have been
selfish, but very often it is difficult to get the serv
ces of men except through selfishness.
HOW TO PICK POLICEWOMEN.
Beauty, being only skin deep, and therefore likely
to be marred by even a slight contact with anything
unyielding or even harsh. Mayor Kohler of Cleve
land has discarded it as a qualification for the corps
of policewomen he is recruiting. Applicants are
warned in advance that one “doesn’t need to look
like a girl in the book,” for neither fashion nor
beauty will cut any figure when decision is being
made. What “Golden Rule Fred” wants is women
who will measure up to a high standard of moral
character, with good, sound judgment, and other
proper qualifications for the work.
“Women can be made useful on the police
force,” he says. “There are plenty of places they
can fill as well or better than men.” He does not
want them for spies, either, but just to be plain po
lice officers.
Mayor Kohler is going in more extensively along
this line than the head of any first-class city. Many
times in history women have been employed as thief
takers, no service organization is complete without
one or more, and certain special forms or depart
ments of police duty have been given to them with
great success. In Clevleland, if wo have the right
idea, the woman is to be made a regularly ordained
part of the force, to walk the beat, keep the peace,
protect property, preserve order and look after life
and limb of citizens. Her qualifications in this line
of endeavor will be tested by practical application.
However, we do not believe that Mayor Kohler
■will entirely disregard the item of personal appear
ance. Admitting that he is hard-boiled, and that
he wants the seasoned, unimpressionable servants
of the public about him, he yet is human, and there
fore must be susceptible to some of the tilings that
■way humanity, and one of those things is woman's
looks.
FIFTY-FIFTY WITH OMAHA
The city council has acted wisely in petitioning
fhe state legislature to allot to Omaha a share of the
automobile license funds collected in Douglas county.
By the same token the board of county commission
ers has acted inadvisedly in opposing such a legisla
tive move.
Last year the sale of automobile tag3 netted the
county $421,00. This money was spent on the roads
• nd bridges outside the city limits. Only by a techni
cality can it be claimed that there is any reason why
' the residents of the city should not enjoy some direct
benefit from their contribution. Omaha now pays
90 per cent of the cost of all county roads and
bridges. It will have to pay 97 per cent of the
$3,000,000 voted a few years ago for the construc
tion of rural highways. Omaha is not complaining
of this, but it believes that a stage has been reached
where half of the sum collected for license tags can
properly be allotted for the construction of boule
vards and streets within the city.
Certainly a time is coming when it will no longer
be necessary to pour out the immense sums that are
now being spent on county highways. A new era of
economy in county government might be encouraged
if the county commissioners db^ not have so much
available for the spending. By all means let the
legislature act. This is a special case, unlike any
situation in other parts of the state, and it is not
too much that Omaha should ask half of the lag fees
that are collected in the county.
One of the city's new patrol wagons, according
to the superintendent of police, “Looks like a palace
on the outside and like a box car inside.” We sub
mit that that is not a bad way to have the vehicle
in which the unruly and the disorderly are to ride.
The Turks at Lausanne certainly know what
they want, but whether it is granted them will de
pend on how well they play the game.

Ur. Harding’* views are.

LO, TO HIS REST.
Old Posey is dead, gone like a warrior to the
j Happy Hunting Grounds from the field of battle.
It was not a glorious crash of arms, no dash over
I "No Man's Land," with the roar of hundreds of
I cannon and the crackle of machine guns to give
; glamour to his passing. Old Posey was picked off
j by a rifleman in a sheriff’s posse, but he died fight
i ing. and the warfare he was carrying on was the
| most effective he knew how to maintain.
Old Posey W’as chieftain among the Piutes. Now’, 1
it happens that those Indians arc pretty near the
bottom of the scale, ranking with the Diggers.
I Nomads, restless, incapable, without arts or agricul
| ture, they yet live after the primitive fashion of
j savages, and feel the encroachment «f the white
; man on their desert domain. 'Hie old chief and
I some of his followers made a final and ineffective
i protest against what appeared to them to be impo
sition and injustice. They violated the peace, took
the war trail, a feeble and ineffective opposition
to the law.
Some were slain, some were captured, but their
sacrifice has not been altogether in vain, for Secre- ;
tary Work of the Interior department has set aside
a definite argn to be the home of the Piutes. This j
may be the means of securing peace in that far
away corner of the Juab country, and the white
settlers 'will be unmolested in their occupation of 1
tracts that may ho irrigated and turned into farm
homes and the Piute left to pursue the grasshopper
and other game, as he has in the past.
Old Posey will soon be forgotten by a busy
world of which he knew very little; his name may
linger long in border annals. His death was ob- f
scure, but not ignominious, and the worst that can
be said of him is that he lived according to his light,
and died us any real Indian would wish to die,
fighting.
A BUMPER CROP OF GENIUS.
Concerning the commercial possibilities of Ne
braska there is general understanding. What has
not been so well understood is that balancing this
material development there has been consistent
progress in cultural directions. In every part of the
state there are men who have made a conspicuous
success in business. Nebraska has also produced
many men of prominence in national politics. What
is equally true but what is frequently overlooked is
that this state is developing and harboring a note
worthy list of authors, artists and musicians.
Nebraska has no Greenwich village in which its
gifted and aspiring creative artists gather. Their
inspiration is in the prairies about which they are
scattered. Some, it is true, have migrated eastward,
feeling the need of closer communion with their
kind. But there are others engaged in the develop
ment of a native art and literature, who continue
to make their home in these middle western com
munities. They are to be found in York, Blair, Elm
wood, Fremont, Falls City and other out-state local
ities in addition to Lincoln and Omaha.
The list, as added to 'ach day in the “nomina
tions for Nebraska’s hall of fame” on the editorial
page of The Omaha Bee. contains many revelations.
Much has been done by Nebraskans in the field of art
and belles lettres, and the seeds of still greater ae- j
complishments are beginning to peep above the soil.
Bumper crops are not unusual in Nebraska agricul
tural history, and it would be possible to compile a ,
splendid list of captains of business and finance, but
it is heartening also to realize the rise of the practice
and appreciation of the arts in this plains state.
HOW CAN YOU TELL A BURGLAR?
Many, many years ago Frank Daniels had a
good topical song, the refrain of which was, “How
are we to know?” The query still is before us. For
example, some of the expert character readers love
to dwell on the symbol of the square, strong chin
as indicating qualities of character most desirable.
These pity the man of weak and receding chin. Yet
just the other day it happened in New York.
Detectives finally succeeded in running to earth
a burglar, whose crimes had been numerous and
daring, and whose cunning had baffled the police
for months was none other than he whose clean cut |
face, bright eyes, smoothly brushed hair, and square
chin, whose picture had been used in the collar ad
vertisements. Now, what does this prove? So far
as the main point of the physiognomists is concerned,
they may rightfully claim it support* their conten
tion. The young man showed enterprise, misdi
rected and unworthy of emulation, but certainly ex- \
pressive of initiative and capacity for conceiving
and executing. A square chin, therefore, may be
accepted a* a symbol of strong, aggressive, capable
mentality, but does not carry with it any warranty
of moral perception.
On the other hand, some men with pointed chin*
and some with no chin* have made considerable stir
in the world, and have done it without doing any
violence to the laws, moral or otherwise. This
leaves us with the point emphasized in Mark Twain’s
story of “The Jumping Frog of Calaveras.” You
can’t tell by his looks how far a frog will jump.
A tiny spark from an electric motor started a
blaze that swept away most of a seaside resort, prov
ing that a small matter still may kindle ft great fire.
One of the annual surprises in Omaha is Mayor
Jim’s throwing the first ball. And Jim once was a
good shot!
The United State* will sell no arms to foreign
nations, but this is no handicap to private manu

with it?

How Schools Make Citizens.
From the Humphrey 1 ’rniocla'.
One of the most wide-awake, enei
get it- and public spirited citizens
smiled Ills war lnlo our office, drew
tlie spare chair up alongside our desk
and interestingly entertained us with
the following: "Here's something 1
wish you would tell folks in our home
paper. The other day we overheard
the old. familiar story: 'Oh, yes, U's
a line looking school house, all right,
but they might ns well tear It down
for all tiie actual teachin' that goes on
up there. 1 never went very far, but
1 could teach a lot more than is bein'
taught. Basket ball is all my boy
goes for. Teachers put in their time
and draw their salaries, and—.' and
so on as long as anybody is around to
listen. It's the same old record that'*
been worn out for years, but some
poor b nighted souls are still playing
It.
"Well." continued our visitor, "the
same old curiosity that killed the cat
sent us sneaking into that high school
building to see what really was going
on—and we haven't got over the
shock yet. We found a sophomore
English class giving splendid oral re
ports on various articles they h ad read
from newspapers or magazines. Each
one talked five minutes and their
speeches would have done credit to
the average college student, and the
impromptu criticisms of each other's
reports were wonders to us. We also
found a senior class discussing with
much thought and intelligence such
topics as government control of mines.
This visit converted us on the school
question. For the sake of justice, go
visit this 'playhouse' and then go try
to find a place where more real work
is being done."
Subsidy Versus Subsidy.
From tho Philadelphia. Tubhc Ivdser.
The decision of President Harding
and the shipping board may mean the
government Is to stay in the shipping
business for a long time. The admin
istration ts ready to about face on its
ship policy, if necessary the Jones
act is to be used in keeping the Amer
ican merchant tUet on the sea If It
must, the government will go back to
government operation
American ship Interests will b"
given an opportunity to take the gov
eminent out of the shipping business.
Meanwhile, the shipping noard will
wipe out the vicious cost-plus, ship
lease contracts and concentrate on
ng up the trad* Uat • n< • d< d to
keep American shippers from being
gouged by foreign steamship con
cerns. The existing 39 trade routes
will |>e cut to 18. and these routes
with jhe 4i>0 ships necessary to main
tain them will be offered to private
and American shipping interests.
These interests will have a few
months to make up their minds. If
th*y fail to offer fair prices and to
give maintained service guarantees,
then, says the decision:
. . . the government will proceed
to direct government operation ag
gressively pursued.
The chances are that the govern
ment will so proceed. The shipping ,
board will have no difficulty in selling j
the ships now in sendee, to say noth
ing of the idle vessels. Failure to
transfer the ships to private owner
ship will shove the nation directly
into the freight cargo and passenger
industry and reverse the Harding plan
of getting the government out of
business.
The shipping board now has 1.422
boats. About 925 of them are eating
their heads off in idleness In 1922
they cost *3,242.298 to maintain. The
4fin ships in service piled up the ad
ditional *lT.OO<fnOO of the annual *50.
oOO.OOO deficit. The president's estl
f ■ early cost of the ship
subsidy plan was *30.000.000. or *20.
000,000 less than the arrangement ,
about to. lie scrapped
What government operation wifi ,
cost no man knows. All we know of ;
it is that we tried it and made a mis
erable failure That there will be s
deficit is sure. The boats will run. !
loss or no loss, and it is not likely the
present drain Will Vs- lessened. Tog
paveis will foot the hill, as they have
footed the ship subsidy costs
Although the last congress balked
at a frank and honest subsidy and the
next congress wifi lie equally hostile,
we have, in fact, been paying a heavy
ship subsidy for years, and may lie
about to go on paying It.' We may
rail It a government deficit, but that
is thin camouflage; a mere change in
its name, not a change In its nature.
If the taxpayer finds consolation In
paying a subsidy to government ship
ping Instead of private shipping he Is
welcome to It.

of Mr. Brisbane's logic often. Th**
only must in the case is the must of
our own conscience, for those who

duty to th** needy world, struggling
not for war but for pea* ; against
the passions of irritated human ni
tine It is the belief of very many

In the name of American fair play,
H. S.
Against the League.
Omah —To the Editor of The
Omaha Bee: Arthur Brisbane in his
editorial issues a warning to Pr^si
dent Harding about switching to the
League of Nations. I uphold the
opinion of Arthur Brisbane in his
views about the league. It is a warn
ing to the American people against
an entangling alliance with foreign
nations. We had Euroj>ean prop
agandists since the armistice trying
their utmost to drag the
United States into the league, but
?he> were unsuccessful At the pres
ent time w> have the Honorable Lord
Robert Cecil, South African repre
sentative in the league, looking for
support of the league
Let ur not forget that the only
thing that the European big powers
are interested in is iron. coni, oil and
other raw material, so they send their
agents to the United States to sow the
seed i.f prnpogunda about the league.
So let us beware of the shrewd
European diplomats and politicians
and let us make them play fa.r and
lay their cards on the table.
Let us go back to the 11th of No
vember. 191*. Why was England.
France. Italy and Belgium so Anxious
to grant the armistice to Germany.
The Allied armies, with the exception ■
of the United States army, were nearly
at the end of their rope. So America
prepared to strike the death blow
to imper.ahsin. Their march to Ber
lin would hat been accomplished in
pfi of weeks with very little sac- %
rifie< 1-et us remember that in 1«70 ’
the Germans made Paris their goal
and succeeded In the World war
Germany had her mind mad" up. into
Par..- was her slogan, but t he did not
traiis* the tremendous power of the
American army.
I can’t help but think that tile
sh.r 'd diplomats of England. Fiance
and Italy v. re Jealous of the Ameri
can army, which was In a position
to capture Berlin and sign the treaty
*f peace., which. 1 ci'ejn. was the
proper place, and Europe would be In
better condition today. The Versailles
tr- ,ty i« a dirty pie o of work, the
fruit of secret diplomacy, with poor
Europe reaping its results.
Mv antagonism against the League
.•f Nat:* ia identical as my hatred
of the secret diplomacy that played
p . h ingratitude against the Ameri
• army by a premature armistice.
Let Kurope strike the death blow to
her c-ccret diplomacy, then America
might meet her haif way. But let
us stand by our Constitution and
Declaration of Independence and not
become the kvte of the League of Na
tions. Let Europe disband her mer
cenaries and work for peace; then it
will be time to co-operate for a world
peace. There is danger that surrounds
u- so let u« not 1-e chloroformed by
th? pacifists and league advocates or
internationsl court.
We know that Europe :« Jealous of
America; the fear of Russian and
Turkish eonregsPms to American cap
ital in not relished by the French and
English industrial magnates, who
would uke to control 'he steel *i,d
oil industry of the world. So let the
pacifists and the league propa
gandists take things easy and study
European secret diplomacy and tin
plunge our country into another
world war. <*gfi
Abcut winning the war. I maintain
that America won the war—because
. f the prenia’ure armistice originated
by a secret diplomacy.

Agriculture is so intimately associated
with the progress anil development
of the Middle West that whatever
affects the one almost immediately re
acts on the other.
This is more generally recognized
today by farmers-and other business
men than ever before and is resulting
in more genuine co-operation than ever
before. This is as it should be, and
in this mutual recognition of inter
dependence is seen one of the m<»t
hopeful signs of our future prosperity.
