Human life once more has been held too cheaply. Armed with a revolver and filled with bootleg booze a young man has wounded, perhaps fatally, the proprietor of a pool hall. In the brief period of the last three weeks there have been two slayings and three shoot ings in this city. The law-abiding citizens of this community well may inquire what is wrong. How does it come that these men arc so ready to deal out death to settle some personal quarrel? Certainly there is no sec tion of public opinion which approves these shoot ings. Instead, a strong demand is heard for firm justice to step in and put an end to this black record. The courageous example of John Fiduni who, un armed, pursued the assailant of the Italian pool hall proprietor, represents the general feeling of the peo ple of Omaha. He wanted to see this criminal brought to punishment for his deed, and even risked his own life in his solitary chase. Even when stunned by a blow from a brick, Fiduni continued until he had put the police on the trail. Against such determination to run down guilt no criminal can prevail. Once move the Omaha police force has shown itself competent to deal with such crimes. Walter Lawrence, like all the others, Chiodo, Salerno Bour ian and Corbino, implicated in the recent shootings, is behind the bars, awaiting trial. It is well that these men who are so quick on the trigger are held where they can do no further harm. The severest penalty of the law is to be hoped for, to insure so ciety against their violent natures. Furthermore, their prompt punishment would serve as a warning 10 others of their class. Meanwhile County Attorney Beal has asked the police to hold every man who goes armed about the city. The state law provides a heavy penalty for ■arrying concealed weapons, and with the proper co-operation between officers, courts and juries, many potential murderers may be placed in con finement, thus safeguarding life in the community. There is much to be done also in putting bootleg gers out of business. The public is quick to resent any effort to use influence to thwart justice. Guilty men must not be led to think that any pull can save them. A mistake was made in the special favors that were shown Chiodo in the first of this series of shootings. The people demand that the law act with a heavy hand, that they may be insured from a tidal wave of crime and violence. MINNESOTA’S GRAND OLD VIKING A sturdy figure was Knute Nelson, and a deep mark did he leave on the history of his adopted country. A son of Norway, whose parent* came to this country in 1849, he rose as high as an alien born citizen can go. It was not through good for-' tune, but by dint of energy that he made his way over obstacles to eminence. Leadership came to him because of his strength of character, his staunch espousal of the causes he believed to be right rather than popular. In 1861, when he was 18 years old, he took up the career of a soldier, and fought in a Wisconsin regiment to the end of the war, coming out Sergeant Nelson. One of the most interesting of ihe many tales told of him is that when he had a group of distin guished visitors at his home, he displayed many trophies and mementos of his busy career. Then he led the way to the hig attic, promising to show them the greatest of all his treasures. Opening a cedar chest, he took out a faded and worn soldier’s blouse, with the chevrons of a sergeant on the left sleeve. It was the one he wore while serving under Old Glory, and while his guests looked on in silence he pressed it to his breast. “Mother keeps it well,” was all he said. This simplicity of nature was the key of his suc cess. Men called him “boss,” but his place as leader was his because those who followed him trusted him. Hr was conservative, did not approve nor counten ance the program of the group that overwhelmed his colleague last fall, and, had he lived, surely would have met his opponents front to front in bat tle, His public services were many and notable, and b;s record honorable. A grand old viking was Knute Nelson, in whom lived again some long forgotten ancestoi “Whose deeds, though manifold, No skald In sonar has told, No saga told thee.” THE WORLD’S GREATEST COMEBACKER. Last fall the daily newspapers printed columns of comment about the world scries pitcher who atagcd a comeback and won a world pennant for his team. Every once in a while we are regaled with accounts of how this or that pugilist haB staged a comeback. But the greatest comebackcr in the world receives scant notice. He is the American farmer. His equal in that line has never been dis covered. And he stages his comeback without any flourish of trumpets or any wreaths contributed by admiring friends. How he does it the Lord only knows, but he does it with astonishing regularity. A few short months ago we were told in lugubrious tones that he was down and out, that he was bank rupt, and that his future was dark and dismal and no gleam of hope to light the gloom. He may have been inclined to think so himself, but that did not prevent him from spitting on his hands and tackling his job again. If he just had to go down, he would go down fighting. And lo and behold, he has come back again. He always does, and he does it in spite of the hamper ing aid of political demagogues and the tearful wails of the prophets of disaster. You couldn’t keep him down by dropping a piledriver on him. He can, and does, take harder blows in hi* business than any other man, but he always comes back smiling. Our Idea of a great peare memorial is not a towering granits shaft or a magnificent building of bronze and marble, but the statue of an American farmer clinging to the plow handles, his hack bent to his burden and eye* looking forward to the furrow he is about to turn. MUCH TO SEE IN NEBRASKA. When a good housewife is expecting company you may note her flying around, putting the house in order, rearranging the chairs, chasing the last j fragmentary cobweb to its lair and straightening the pictures on the wall. The tourist season is soon to open, and that means every town and city in Ne braska is expecting company. It naturally follows that every town and city possessing the first instincts of the good housekeeper is dolling up for company. It needs but a cursory glance through the pages of Nebraska’s weekly newspapers to ascertain that practically every Nebraska town is a good house keeper. “Clean up” campaigns are on in full swing, and in a few weeks, when the tourists begin arriv ing practically every town will appear with its face washed, its hair in curls and donned in its best bib and tucker to greet the arriving guests. And these tourists are the city’s guests in the fullest sense of the word. Instead of front bedrooms, they will find clean and sanitary camp grounds, with prac tically all the advantages of the modern home— and a welcome that really means something. The messages from state editors, published in The Omaha Bee Monday, show that those living in Nebraska towns do not lack for healthful amusements. We suggest to Nebraskans who may be con templating automobile tours that they shun the beaten paths that lead to the mountains and parks of other states, and seek the byroads that lead to Nebraska scenes. Why seek mountain scenery in Colorado before seeing the beauties of the Niobrara, the wonders of the Bad Lands, Dawes and Sioux counties, the magnificent scenery in Scottsbluff county, and the great canyons that lie between Potter and Gering? Have you ever turned south from the Lincoln highway at Maxwell and visited the national cemetery at old Fort McPherson, or north from the Lincoln highway at Kimball and sent the car over the wonderful scenic road that leads to Gering and Scottsbluff, and thence on to the Black Hills and Yellowstone park? What beau tiful little towns and cities the tourist strikes wher ever he goes in Nebraska, whether it be along the Lincoln highway, the D. L. D., the Meridian high way or the S. Y. A. route. Get away from the beaten paths this summer, and get better acquainted with your own state. ROMANCE AND OPPORTUNITY RIDE ALOFT. Midway between the Atlantic and Pacific, Omaha becomes the center of the night flights of the air mail. Thus are romance, adventure and scientific achieve ment brought close. No other nation has ventured into this field, in spite of all that is said about the United States being behind in the development of flying. That map published in The Omaha Sunday Bee presents what is happening in most striking fashion. The continent is shrinking—Omaha becomes a close neighbor of cities once days away. Leaving New , York at noon, the air mail will arrive in Omaha in the middle of the night, and in San Francisco the i next afternoon. Thirty hours suffice for the cross ing. Relays of aviators await with fresh machines for the moment when their comrade comes dash l ing in from tne clouds. The sack for Omaha will be thrown off at the Fort Crook landing field, and the other bags transferred from one machine to the next. Beacons set every three miles along the route from Chicago to Cheyenne will make a pathway of I light for the aerial postman. Emergency landing j fields will be provided to safeguard them in case of | engine trouble. Every trick known to modern avia j tion will be called into play for the successful opera I tion of this astounding innovation. Omaha occupies a proud place as the center of ! night flying. No other city in all the world has any i thing equal to this. The air lanes that are thus to be blazed give this city an immense advantage in what is but the beginning of a new era of transporta ! tion. The day—and the night—will yet come in 1 which passengers hasten on their way along these aerial trails. Omaha should lose no opportunity to express its appreciation of this opportunity, ami to : co-operate with the forces at work for the encour agement of aerial navigation. — It is rather interesting now to read the tom | ments of our democratic exchanges that a few months ago were declaring President Harding was sadly lacking in “backbone.” One hundred thousand Chicago families are I changing thrir addresses in response to the spring | impulse. Or. maybe, it’s the bill collector. j Naming babies by radio may not become a I general fashion, but it has some attractive features. | Think of the range of choice it affords! “Norm” Hapgood is going to give Russia the once-over, but that is no sign it will modify his views to any extent. It ia comforting for a few of us to think that Warren G. was much the same kind of a kid we were. Eye tests for motorists are being urged. At least, a driver ought to be able to see a pedestrian. I Stepping on the water in a lavatory evidently i is a continuation of stepping on the gas in a car. The canning season is on in Omaha again; only, the neighbors are canning the cans. A day or two of real spring weather make up for a lot that were lost. Jay walkers are as dangerous as fool drivers. Homespun Verse By Robert W orlhingtnn Davie THE MURKY WORLD. A shameful world, a cruel world, a world of strife and pain! • Each day we read of grime and greed and view them with disdain,. With awe anil fear. AVhat. will we hear tomorrow. lest we face Dissension new to scent and strew our gardens with disgrace! Rut bliss remains and faith retains Its place upon the isle. And virtue wends to noble ends, grows stronger all ihe while. Th* Savior reigns, the hills and plains sie yet un touched by grime, An srmy white (the men of might) (reeds skyward all the time. The hapless ones. Ihe sordid sons snd daughters yet will see The banner furled above the world snd follow grate fully; The grief will wane, the shallow, vain behold Ihe dawn of Right, And meet. at length, Hie virtue, stienglli which lie j beyond the night. “The People’s Voice’’ Editorial# tram raadcro of The Morning Ret. i Raidcra of Tha Morning Bag art Invited to u«o thla column freely for aagraialon on I matteri of public lotarelt. Queen of the Home. Lexington, Neb.—To the Editor of The Omaha1 Bee: Sometimes we tire j of the jjazz and raytimo of life and | long for those old fashioned true and sincere things. There is always one person in whom j we may look for quiet, peace and love. It is "mother." When ihe whole world scorns hr and laughs at us. there is one who weeps and who comforts us. When our spirits are crushed and broken by the thoughtless, hurrying world, i there is always one who can heal us. When we arc ill there is one nurse ' who will care for us. When we sink ! into the gutters of crime and shame there is one w hose prayers follow us and finally lift us up again, it is i "mother." "Mother!" How much we owe her! j A debt so great we can never repay it even though we remain her devoted servant as long as she lives. But oh! Mow sad! How shameful! How true is the fact that so few of us ever remember that mother too needs love and comfort. How soon we for get her sufferings for us! Oh, how many mothers have died lonesome and sad because some son or daughter was too busy seeking pleasure to care for them. When we strive to pay otir debts to mother- -whert she is made Queen of our lives—then and only then will this world so full of crime he cured, and then homelife will be re-estab- j llshed. The hope of the world lies in mother Let us honor her as the future Joan of Arc of the world. SCHOOL GIRL. , Solving the Sugar Problem. Council Bluffs.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: President Harding, : through his attorney general, lias re sorted to the injunction method of protecting” the public from the su gar gougers. Hince the filing of the injunction proceedings the price of sugar has steadily advanced, approxi mately 2 cents per pound having been added to the selling price, with still furl iter advanres predicted. The people of the United States are not interested in intricate legal pro- , cesses, but they are Interested in this sugar steal, which is estimated at more than a million dollars per day What they want Is sugar without being held up by a cold blooded band of thieves, and they do not care a whoop for an\ paper "victories" over the sugar trust. The injunction has been asked for against the New York Coffee and Su gar exchange and the New York Cof fee and Sugar Clearing House as«o ciation. both of whirh organizations ate merely agents of the higher ups. the real sugar trust. It Is difficult to *ee what good can come from this in junction, and the adrnlntstral ion papers are quot'd as admitting that it will not result In lower prices for tii* consumer. It therefor* t« dis closed as merely a gesture of disap proval on the part of the administra tion. The citizen who is demanding re sults in the wav of lower sugar prices and Is not Interested In political amoufiago to help re elect President Harding, may be pardoned in asking why the criminal section of the Clay ton anti trust at i is not invoked against the higher ups Instead of the agents? Also, whv hav e not the f. d < ral trade commission acted, as it un doubtedly is clothed with power to do? Another move which the president s empowered to do. and this without waiting for nny court process or set of any kind, is to reduce the pr.htier tariff on sugar aO per rent. To say that the tariff does not protect the sugar thieves in their present raid on the pockets of the American people is the nonsense. As a further move, the president tirght'make it known that he would ask congress to reenact the excess profit* lax on sugar, and by this me*ns tax the trust Into harmless ness. Clearly, asking for an Injtinc. tioti against the agent* will accom plish nothing WILLIAM R DALY. \nierica Come* of \gr. Wayne.

He regards it as a great mis fortune that we do not know how' great is our present lead over Europe It is an authentic fact that works of art created in Europe are no longer purchased by us as formerly, only her iuse they bear the foreign mark. The work of the American landscape school is distinctively American, dif ferentiating from other nations in that it displays » thrilling joy in nature for its own sake and deals very frankly with American landscape American artists used to go to Ewdti erlaml for scenery, to France for the picturesque and to Holland for atmos phere.

Experts have figured it out that a girl marathon cancer who stleks to it for a 24-hour day performs an amount of physical work about equal to that of lifting a ton to twice the height of the Woolworth building or three times the attitude of the Washington monument in the same period of time It is equivalent to lifting herself to a h«ight of 3,000 feet or more greater than that of the highest mountain ori earth. A fast walker, taking !i>2 steps a minute, which is about the same as that of the modern dance, raises his hotly about seven meters, or !3 feet a minute. Assuming the same for a light weight dancer weighing 100 pounds and keeping at it for 24 hours, it may easily la* figured that the lifting amounts to 1 380 feet an hour, or 33. 120 feet a day. This is more than 3.000 feet higher than Mount Everest, thu highest mountain In the world. If the dancer weighed 100 pounds, the energy expended in this life would to tal 3,312,000 foot pounds, or that equivalent to lifting one ton 1 ttoC feet, almost exactly three times the height of the Washington monument. For heavier dancers, the work ex pended would he proportionately more. Not a Party Issue. From no Washington Star. President Harding, in hi* address Ihe other day, courageously chal lenged the opponents of the interna tional court of Justice to make it a party question, and his elucidation of the subject clearly proved that they and the.r followers have no ground for justification in a threatened split of the republican party. "I do not hold ir a menace to the unity of any political party," declared the presi dent. "It is not to be classed as a party question, hut if any party, re peatedly advocating a world court, is to be pended by the suggestion of an efiort to perform in accordance with its pledges It needs a new appraisal of its assets.” The president Is right. The repub lican leaders who apprehend a split do not correctly interpret the temper of the country, it is believed, and the president in this instance has keener instinct than the so-called "hard boiled" politicians. There is nothing in the pending proposal that, contra venes the spirit of the electorate when in 1920 it upheld the republican par tv's opposition to entry into ihe 1-eague of Nations by a ma'oritv of 7,000,000. The situation next year may not be unlike that in 1*90, when there were silver republicans and silver denrsTi'c but t0.< preponderance of sentiment was for sound money. The president propose# an objective which :t Is believed th» great mass of the people favor, a step toward interna tional peace keeping without the im pairment of American sovereignty and national independence. It is pertinent to inquire of the threatened party splitters where would they go if the; left the repub lican party: to the extreme Wilson Iceague of Natiors factious of the party? Or. if that faction does not control in ihe making of the demo Relief _ —From th» WubiniKi * i cratic national platform, would they resort to a modified league plan? If the republican parly does split over this question It will do itself to death by its own hand as it is did in ! 1312, and will deserve its fate. Not Proper Way for file Navy. From ih« Neve Torit Tribune. Intimations come frequently from , vYeshington nowadays that the navy is to he used to make American shore waters "dry" out to the three mile limit. Such suggestions are repug i rant to naval traditions and practice, and are naturally not looked upon 1 kindly by Secretary Denby. The navy is a military arm. It is not maintained to repress smuggling. Congress provided a special instru 1 rnent for this purpose—the revenue < utter service, combined with the life saving service in 1915 to form the ■ oast guard. It has a fleet of its own. That fleet easily can lie enlarged if necessary. Its work, which is non military, ought not to lie shifted to the navy—an organization of another character. requiring a personnel of different qualifications and training. The coast guard is under the Treas ■ tiry department. The revenue cut ters are transferred to the control of the Navy department in time of war. Put in time of peace they patrol the coasts and are - harged. among other things, with preventing ilies-cl entry of merchandise They have done this sort of duty ever since the old rev enue culter servi<e was instituted and are 'he proper agency to do it now.
