Today Sane, Hospitable. Jealousy Is Cruel. Wealth Goes to Waste. Edison's Son. ARTHUR BRISBANEJ Washington predicts that Presi dent Harding will use his influence with congress and let the crews of foreign ships get their wine or beer in American ports. That would seem sane, hospitable and courteous, if it could be arranged legally. We don’t like wine officially— Frenchmen do. They don’t like ice water—we drink it. What should we say if the French re fused to allow any ice water on American ships in French ports, or if, as is probable, England should say that no ship may come inside her three-mile limit unless it brings a certain amount of liquor on board? We should be able to settle our family affairs, including prohibi tion, without dragging in the out side world. “Jealousy is cruel as the grave; the coals thereof are coals of fire.’’ Lazardo, under-sized Filipino, found it so. When a policeman saw him staggering toward the waterfront, Lazardo, weight 120 pounds, was carrying the 140 pound body of Miss Blossom Mar tin, a white girl whom he had just killed. She diked somebody else better. After confessing the mur der Lazardo bit the hand of a de tective who tried to put irons on him. That's temperament. Next- to that you read of a Filipino chauffeur in Youngstown, O;, confessing that he killed Miss Drachmann, a young Danish girl. Jealousy again. Young white women will find it safer to confine their acquaintance to white young men. Asia and America don’t mix well. Man, having harnessed Niagara and other waterfalls, thinks he has done a great deal. But the power wealth of the nation has been barely touched. An expert shows that in the Niagara and St. Lawrence rivers 9,000,000 horsepower goes to waste. Molecules of water knock ing against eachc other, rushing from the lakes to the sea, raise the temperature of the water. That’a all the good7 the power does. There is a waste of 79,000, 000,000 horsepower hours each year. ,To harness that would be equal to saving 158,000,000 tons of coal each year. Thomas A. Edison was at Cam bridge yesterday to see his son re ceive a degree from the Massa chusetts Institute of Technology. The son is a trained physicist and mathematician, and his father is going to give him a job without the usual examination to which he submits college graduates—of whom he thinks little. , What will Edison’s son accom plish with his complete education, compared with what Edison, the father, did with the simplest pub lic school education? The lash of necessity is often a better driver than any education. Mr. Kracke, United States ap praiser in New York, says this country will buy from Europe $3, 000,000,000 worth of goods, raw and finished, this year, and collect $560,000,000 in customs. When the tariff bill passed you were told it would keep Europe from selling us goods; therefore poor Europe couldn’t pay us what she owes. But the tariff bill is passed and Europe is getting $3, 000,000,000 from us this year for its goods, a good deal more than we are getting from the rest of the world for what we export. American travelers in France will spend $50,000,000 this year. That is the right way to send money to Europe—we get some thing for it. The American traveler brings hack information. For instance, when they notice a drunken man or woman in Paris and investigate, they find that the drunken person is never French; always another nationality, usually American or English. That's worth learning or thinking about. No Frenchman drinks ice ■water, and none drinks whisky. That’s one reason. Senator Borah says President Harding will be renominated and the senate will kill off the world court plan, destroying that issue. That will be good news for the republican elephant, especially as Henry Ford is quoted: "There will be four parties, democratic, repub lican, independent and the Henry Ford party.” Ford, if correctly reported, said that of the four parties nobody would get a majority vote and the election would be thrown ii\fo the house of representatives. That, as Mr. Barnes of Albany pointed out not long ago, would mean the elec tion of Harding. The Kansas industrial court was established to decide how much wages should he paid to workmen of different kinds. Now the supreme court derides that the Kansas industrial court is unconstitutional, and working men have the right to get whatever they can get. The supreme court decides that nothing that looks like compelling men to accept wages, arbitrarily fixed, can be done under the constitution. A sound decision, although it won’t •uit. a good many admirers of the supreme court—who think that the supreme court was msde especially for them. In seven towns of the Philippine islands, 96 per cent of sll the houses are blown down and some parsons killed by a typhoon. That, all seems far away and unimport ant like reading about spots on the sun. If a chicken coop In your hack yard blows down, that is import ant. Finite beings have limited finite interests. (Copyright, 1111.) State Labor Body to Take Stand on Political Issues Federation Secretary Here to Confer With Other Offic ials on Aims of Convention. When the Nebraska State Federa tion of Labor convenes this sunvner a number of problems will be brought before the delegates for solution, ac cording to C. P. Birk of Grand Is land, secretary, who is in Omaha con ferring with other officials and mem bers of the executive board of the or ganization relative to the exact date and place of the convention. One of these problems, Mr. Birk said, will be the part the federation Is to take in the coming general elec tion campaigns in 1924. Although the state convention is not to be held un til after the national gathering of the farmer-labor party, which meets at Chicago, Tuesday, July 3, the Ne braska labor organization already has outlined plans for the preliminary work of organizing and marshaling of forces. The plan of the federation, accord ing to Mr. Birk, contemplates coop eration with other organizations which are backing the third party movement in the state, and i9 the labor federation finds it necessary to merge Its political identity with that of the whole party, it will do so, at least for the time, in an effort to bring about unity of purpose and a closer co operation. A number of prominent Nebraskans are expected to attend the meeting at Chicago and bring back first-hand information for their fellow-members In the various organizations they will represent. Among those who will go to the Chicago convention there will be a representative of the Nebraska labor interests, according to the sec retary, although the delegate has not yet been named. Other problems to come before the Nebraska convention will Include re lations between the various organiza tions within the federation, the stand of the federation on slate questions, and a number of things of lesser Im portance. The state convention probably will he held either In Omaha or Lincoln during the first week in August. Mr. Birk said. The exact date and place are to bo announced within a few days.

Town in Comeback After Emigration Whitney, Neb., Almost De populated in 1893, Now on Return to Prosperity. Whitney, Neb., June 13.—The vil lage uf Whitney again is prosperous, following a long process of recupera tion from an almost fatal emigration. In the years 1887-89. Whitney enjoyed a boom and promised to be one of Nebraska's largest cities, according to records on file with the Nebraska State Historical society. A continual stream of settlers poured In. However, beginning in 1890, came a number of successive years of drouth. Then came the financial pan ic of 1893. Settlers mortgaged their claims and moved away. Whitney began to fade. At this period George A..Eckles. Chadron lawyer, spoke for the republicans in a joint debate with a supporter of Silas Holcomb, popu list candidate for governor. Eckles painted a gloomy picture of condi tions which would follow If Holcomb were elected. When the speaker had finished, and before his populist op ponent could obtain the floor to re ply. James Von Harris, a farmer, arose and said: "Mr. Chairman, hard tim> s can't hurt Whitney.” And now Whitney has “come back’ and Is enjoying a prosperous era.
