Wounds that are deeper than any inflicted by shrapnel or bayonet, anguish more poignant, misery, more consuming, n ay follow as a result of shock and disappointment glowing out of the widespread influences of armed conflict that involves great nations. Something of this sort has just developed in Nebraska. A young man was caught up from his home in the ssnu hills and sent to the front with a uniform on. While serving as a soldier, he met a girl. Doubtless, the glamour of the uniform was over their acquaintance, just as it was over that of thousands of s.miiar cases. None will deny the lure of the soldier’s garb at a time when everything is being done to stimulate the fervor of a na-ion’s devotion to its fortune in war. The sequel, however, fol- | lows the war in this case. The boy came home, serious in mind and heart, unswerving in his love for the girl, and tilled with a high ambition for his future. Back to the uni versity he went to complete his law course; he plunged into politics, was sent to the legislature, j where he made a name for himself, and then was made an assistant attorney general. All this was j leading up to the climax of his great adventure, and in due season the wedding took place. This is a prelude to the tragedy. Observing the record made by the boy, the con clusion is inevitable that the girl lacked those quali ties which would sustain her under the obligations a wife must assume. She had not been reared for the part, and could not fit herself to be the help meet of the man she wedded. Whatever roseate hue of romance war had thrown around her hero was blown away by the “song that breathed o'er Eden.” and she missed in marriage the things she thought she saw when beholding only the uniform. A few days after the wedding she returned to her home in Florida, where her husband later followed her. He has now returned to Lincoln, and ask.s the court to annul the marriage. This young man has shown such strength of character as justifies the belief that he will be able to knit anew the broken threads of his life, and come out of the trial clean and strong. He will al ways carry a bitter memory of his disillusionment; : men do not forget those things. The girl may re turn to • life that suits her better, one of ease, of frivolous amusement, regarding her adventure as something unpleasant, but not her fault because she will never blame herself for the wreck she has made of a young man’s hopes. Like the young w:fe in "The Changelings,” she regarded marriage as "a love affair in good stand ing.” The sand hills of Nebraska afford a strong contrast to a society resort in Florida, but honest, courageous hearts are not bound by geography or climate, and this young woman may sometime learn the value of what she has so carelessly sacri ficed, the love of a strong, capable man. AUTO STEALING ON THE DECLINE Seventy-eight per cent of the 35,384 automobiles stolen durit g 1922 were recovered. In 1921 only 71 per cent of the stolen machines were returned to their owners. This is a noteworthy improvement tn the vigilance and success of pursuit. Omaha s record for the year was 856 machines stolen, and 819 recovered. These figures arc from records gathered by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, and may he presumed to be reliable. The year 1921 reached the peak for thefts, the total being 37,554, of which number 1 1,037 cars, or 29 per cent of the total, were not restored to their owners. New \ ork, of course, heads the list for thefts, but of towns n Omaha group Buffalo takes first place, 1,609 thefts, and 1,418 recoveries. Kansas City is next to 'Buf falo, with 1.237 thefts and 1,154 recoveries. How many of these recorded thefts actually were thefts, and how many just the result of the careless habit of young men and boys, who lake cars for joyride* without the owner’s permission, and aban don them when out of ‘‘gas ’ or when pursued by the police, the compilation of the chamber docs not disclose, but the fact that in 1922 8,823 stolen cars were not restored to owners is proof that a con siderable amount of the stealing actually is stealing. Consolation for motor car owners and for insur ance companies lies in the fact that the proportion of recoveries to thefts is increasing, for, while steal ing may ne' er be brought to an end, the likelihood of ultimate loss is less and less each year. That should encourage owners. FOUND KLONDIKE, DIED PAUPER George Washington Carmack, discoverer of the Klondike, died “broke.” This man who not only accumulated a considerable fortune for himself, but set in motion one of the most momentous gold rushes in all recorded history, from which millions of dollars worth of the precious metal was brought* to the use of mankind, has just expired at Seattle with less than $1,000 of assets. It is not especially worth while tq follow him in the dissipation of his funds. He had a fortune, but did not know bow to make proper use of it. His career is but the repetition of the tale so often recorded of men who have suddenly become wealthy through some fortunate stroke. "Coal Oil Johnnie” was a millionaire in h.s day, and ended as h station agent at a little suburb of Omuha. Horace A. W. Tabor counted at lenst twenty millions of dollars, at a time when that was a huge fortune, and went by the way of the United States senate to an obscure grave, leaving wife ami children in penury. Many other experience may be cited to parallel these. Riches have wings, and fly away oon if not carefullly guarded, and the big-hearted, generous men who suddenly come into possession of wealth usually fall victims to the less enterprising but more crafty, who prey constantly on such victims. Men of wealth retain their wealth because they are ca pable of safeguarding it, and not because they have any artificial advantage over other men ; GREAT ORDER CELEBRATES ITSELI Teday the Elks of Omaha aie dedicating their new home. t» the ceremonies attendant upon the i laying of the cornerstone. Many dignitaries and I notables of the order are taking part in the exer cises, which will get attention from thousands of 1 citizens, whether members of the order or not. The Benevolent Protective Order of Ellks is unique in many regards. Originally a group of | convivial spirits, who concealed any serious purpose i they might have in mind behind an outward cover of good fellowship and enjoyment, this body lias grown into one of the most influential of its kind in the world. It was but natural that its growth .-hould be marked by a change of character, in that its constant spread brought to the fore the deeper underlying purposes of a great international broth erhood, and, while none of the intents of congenial companionship have been omitted, its benevolence and patriotic devotion have assumed the lead in its program. Elks in the total aggregate almost a million members, and annually disburse through definite channels around $2,000,000 in charity or phil anthropic undertakings. These distributions in clude money for the vocational training of disabled veterans, relief for war victims, the maintenance of a national home for disabled members, hospitals and other similar enterprises. How much money is paid out by the local lodges will not be made known, hut it certainly mounts to as much or more than the total of the general funds. In this the mem bers are making good on the name of their beloved order. The n w home for Omaha will comprise the foa ttres of a lodge building, a Hub bouse and a hotel. While designed for the use of members exclusively, the hospitality of the order is so well established that visitors who have not been crowned with antlers are frequently admitted to enjoy the privileges of the home. The Omaha lodge is one of the older of the great group, and has had a long, interesting and honorable career. It has grown with the city, and now numbers one of the largest memberships in the whole list. The building now under headway is a worthy addition to the city's list, and v e congratu late the ‘‘Bills" on their prosperity and enterprise. HOME, SCHOOL AND CHURCH. Next to the American homo itself, nothing is so important as the American school, for nothing touches the home more closely in all its relations. The public school and free education it provides is an American institution, our greatest contribution to civilization. It has done more to uplift human ity than any other single agency, save the Christian teligion, and it exists because it is founded on a concept born of that religion. The relation be tween the school and the church should be and is intimate. Nothing could be more furiously resented than an attempt to teach athei.-m or atheistical doctrine in the church, unless it might be an at tempt to teach sectarianism. However, in order to secure and promote the free exercise of religion, the Fathers set the church and state as far apurt as possible, and this affects the school, for the business of education is conceived to be the work of the state in this coun try. It is not so carried on as to interfere with the establishment of private, parochial or denomina tional dogma or creed, or to prevent any form of re ligious training at home. The provision is to pro teet the schools from the confusion that certainly would arise were any form of sectarianism to be permitted to be taught in any under public control. Now, if this is true, it requires little stretch of imagination to see what will happen if the regular work of the schools be interrupted in order that a portion of the pupils may be taken elsewhere to be given particular religious instruction. If a public school is to proceed on lines that will give the best service to all. it must have standards and to adhere to these standards they must rest oil all pupils evenly. When certain hours of a pupil's work in pursuit of secular instruction are disturbed that he ma^v devote them to sectarian study, he falls behind those who are not required to study religion. Eeither they must be held back, or the das* sched ule will be deranged. We heartily agree with the sentiment that looks to the greater diffusion of religious teaching, but find it not eaVy to agree that this ought to lie at the expense of public school training. On the other hand, it should be supplemental to secular educa tion, and should be given in the homes. Parents ought to feel some responsibility for the moral as well as the mental training of the children. Preach ers of religion, no matter of what creed, may con tribute to this end by giving more care to the home circle, instilling in the minds of fathers and moth ers the need for teaching the boys and girls the great spiritual truths that form the foundation of character and give stability to the lives of all men and women. If this training require* a doctrinal flavor, that also can he provided without disturbing the normal life of the public schools. Cod in the home is one of our great national needs; our faith and trust in God is unwavering, we do walk by faith, but we must continue to allow each individual under heaven to sele< t foi himself the faith he cares to nourish. We should not hamper the church in i.ny of its manifestations, and equally we should not lessen the usefulness of the schools by any experiment that tends in the direction of limiting their liberty. The United States Steel corporation has de cided to continue the twelve-hour day, thus keeping the mill hands up almost to newspaper (tours This is alleged to he straw hat day, hut overcoats are just beginning to seek retirement. Kvcn a few hours of sunshine did not come amiss. Homespun Verse By Robert Worthington Davie BUY A IIOM1.

J, O lipipn, I superintendent of the li-.li hatcheries at Gretna, in order to make a place | on the state * payroll for one of hi« j political lieutenants. So far the re port has not been confirmed, but t lie governor's ultimatum to O'Brien that he must give up his private resi dence In Bouth Bend and move into the cottage at the hatcheries and cer tain other demands and requirements that have been made are sufficient to raise ihe suspicion that the governor is pecking at the Gretna superinten dent with the hope of driving him to resign. It is not simply the fact that .Mr O'Brien is an efficient and popular official who has held his present posi tion with great benefit to the state hatcheries for 30 years, through suc cessive republican and democratic ad ministrations that will cause a feeling of indignation among the sportsmen of tlie state. It will lie a matter of great regret if the depart men t is to be made a political plum tree the fruit of which is to he passed around among men whose claim to recognition is service to party, rather than capabil ity If earnest devotion of one's Job lsn t to Is- rewarded by continuation in office, what incentive is there to give service to the state? The new appointee, if there is to he one. may lie capable tnough. but if lie is to go into office with the knowledge that h» has been selected for political rea sons, he not unnaturally will devote his energy to politics rather than the propagation of fish. It is to lie hoped that the rumors that are coming out of Lincoln will prove to he Incorrect and that the governor will recede from what looke like an unreasonable attitude.

Various plans will come under dia eusalon. One **f them would corn bine the New England roads into a single system, such as Charles &. Mellen worked out m great part and was broken up by the government under the anti-trust act. Otners would variously split up New England ter ritory and divide it between the New York Central on the north and either the Pennsylvania or Baltimore & Ohio on the south. Trunk line territory would in turn be variously regrouped between the New York Central. Erie. Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio. It will be a problem almost despair ingly complicated. Congress has been a powerful factor in making It so. For .'50 years congress was ftght* ing railroad consolidations, and now after the adjustments wrought through that long period congress has changed :t» mind and demands con solidation Into a few great and so called competing groups.

Omaha—To the Editor of The Oma ha Bee: It is reported that a Presby terian minister in Omaha made this statement: I do not believe that the general trend in the church is to ac cept Mr. Bryan* views. As 1 define the evolutionary theory, it is the only reasonable theory of the origin of life.'' Which practically means that we. human intellectual lyings, origi nated by the process of evolution, from the unintelligent monkey For that is the, theory that \V. J. Bryan is combating. First if that be true, then God did not create man in His own image, ns a distinct human being, and the ' torv Of Adam: and all references to him by the prophet**, and the apostles arc* false. {Second. then Christ s genealogy would trace to th»- same source, which would contradict the Bible, for it traces his genealogy to Adim. who was created by God. This as we sec it. practically makes void the whole history of the creation, all the prophecies. Christ’s death, and what h* died for When we apply evolution to the development of the mind, physical tm provement, or anything to‘advance the condition »*f the human family; this would he the proper application But when we undertake to aupsy 'hat principal t<> the origin of !if*- we get ;nf« deep water. Such theories tically denounces the truthfulness *f the Bible, and everything it con tain-: and leaves man in h hopeless '•ondjtlon. f n a- th# future is con cerned: for God s promises were for the generations, or offspring of Adam, a id not for the sons and daughters of improved monkeys. Bet^r, speaking of (’hi is?, said. “Whom the heaven must receive until th#* time of restitution of all things.** Restitution means, a restoration of th#* condition which previously ex i.‘f#-d. Then if evolution he true, we will eventually he restored to the monkey cnnditi#»n. (With no dis respect to the pastor) this is whit In variably happens when men undertake to improve upon God> word; It m»kps monkeys of themselves intellectually The writer lias profound respect for the Bible, and the promises made to man: but how Intelligent people can claim any support, front God the creator, and hold to th#1 theory, th.it the origin #-f life sprang from an in ferior little animal, is l ^vond my con #•• ption #.f what .teihge; - stands fcr if God s anything.

It has been watched for a number of years ns an experi ment .n paternalism but has failed, Just as wise economists said It would. I; will b* recalled that about the same time the Oklahoma experiment went into effect in attempt was made to have a national law pass'd of simi lar character. It created tremendous enthusitsm among a certain type of pseudo economists and for a time there seemed a possibility that it might le adopted The arguments against it prevailed, bowevri. Them wrrs that it would plus i premium on lax management at th» expense of the blinks 'hat were conservatively managed. The affirmative argument was that if the government granted a charter to a bank it was in effect endorsing the bank to the public and should therefore guarantee the depose tors Oklahoma undertook to try the ex periment and the result has been costly There If a deficit of about $10,000,000 as against what may be salvaged from fail'd banks and a rniall assessment from solvent banks r .B.in'-n'ing on this rxperience Mr. Thomas E. Hraniff. a well known in surance man of Oklahoma City, said recently: "The slate bank guaranty law constitutes one of Oklahoma's greatest blunders, although it is to be said to her credit that when sh*e found she had made a blunder she had Ihe courage to repeal the law.
