Is education in America to become a matter of studiously following a prescribed routine, deviat ing neither to the right nor the left in pursuit of knowledge, or is it to broaden with human ex perience, holding fast to the truth that has come down through the ages, but equally eager to seize and fix the thought of today? The resignation of President Meiklejohn of Am herst focuses public attention on the general sub ject of education. The differences between the president and trustees of Amherst are fundamental. ! Dr. Meiklejohn did not cling to the traditions of I his college, which is one of the ultra-conservative I institutions of the land, nor is it alleged that he | espoused the radicalism of the day. He did permit 1 and cncouiage thinking on part of the student body. It has been expressed that he did not care so much what they thought as that they did think for themselves. Americans today, more than ever, are thinking for themselves; the processes may not be orderly, may not be of great assistance, but they are going on, and out of it progress surely will come. No man or set of men can stem the tide of thought, and somewhere the ideas of men will focus on some point, and the movement of society will be in that direction. Just now the mind of the masses is directed to greater liberality of thought and policy concerning the things that make for human happfi ness and understanding. Toryism of any type is fading away, and while there prevails much that is confusing, the truth will come from obscurity, and new customs and beliefs will guide the world. This does not mean that the safe anchorages of human relationships are to be abandoned, or that the landmarks of civilization will be engulfed. Old ways will probably be modified to meet new condi tions, even at the great schools of the country. Dr. Meiklejohn recently told the classes at Bryn Mawr that education can be purchased with money. If this is true, the cause of cultural training will not be improved any by the sacrifice of a man who has the courage to put to the test the purpose of his work. If he can teach men to think, even if their ideas be not orthodox, he has done much. Dr. Meiklejohn, if he be the man he appears to be, will not long wait for an opportunity to apply his talent to the great service of humanity. Amherst may prosper under another leader, but the incident will continue to mark one of the distinct clashes between two lines of thought that are now strug gling for mastery in America. FROM SEA TO SEA. What will be the longest continuous journey ever undertaken by a president of the United States started from Washington yesterday. Mr. Harding plans to journey to the interior of Alaska by way of San Diego and Seattle, thus touching the nethermost corners of the United States, penetrating its largest territory by rail for at least 500 miles, and finally returning to the White House by way of the Panama canal. The mileage alone in this journey is imposing, equal to a journey of halfway around the world, but it will also afford the president an opportunity for doing something he has wanted to do and should have done some time ago. He will speak at St. Louis, Kansas City, Hutchinson and Denver on his way out, and at Seattle either going or returning. In these addresses he will deal with the world court, the tariff, railroads, shipping and other of the problems and policies now pressing or forming for the re mainder of his first term in office. It is well that the president should seek this chance to get his own views and opinions directly before the public. He will not only meet the multi tudes who will assemble to greet him at the points where he is scheduled to speak, but he will get direct attention from the citizens in general, who will read his speeches for what they are, the first-hand state ments of the president’s plans. Much has been said in the name of Harding that may have to be modi fied or discarded altogether when Mr. Harding speaks for himself. The journey has another aspect, in that it will give the president an opportunity to get a first-hand view cf some the problems he will be called upon to deal with. The Alaska railroad, from Seward to Fairbanks, with its great port at Anchorage, and the Panama canal are two of the greatest government construction feats in modern history, and they have to do exclusively with peace purposes. Mr. Harding will inspect these, and may get from them ideas that will be of service in dealing with other matters of a similar nature. It is a matter of local regret that the president’s itinerary did not include Omaha, but the public will follow the president with interest in nowise diminish ed because they are not going to see him on this journey. “AIN’T NATURE WONDERFUL!’* We are all familiar with the remark of the man on seeing a hippopotamus for the first time. “There ain’t no such animal,” expressed his sentiments ex actly, but the animal is there just the same, and so it goes. Nature has produced many singular things, animate and inanimate, and will continue to aston ish mankind from time to time by presenting things beyong the range of his experience. One of these is just now reported from Louisiana, where potatoes grow on the roots and tomatoes on the stems of the same vine. This duplexing of the product of the vegetable kingdom is puzzling it* beholders, the more so because it is not the outcome of an experiment after the fashion of Burbank, hut the result of a move on part of the bountiful old dame herself writhout any help froiVi the gardener. The discovery opens a wide vista for profitable speculation. Let us now bother about growing goober peas and strawberries on the same plant, hut confine consideration to what is before us. If the suggestion of nature can be successfully carried into practice, it will save considerable acreage, for it will he unnecessary to plant separately as now is done. Cultivation is simplified, too, for only one row will have to be hoed to help two crops to grow; tomato worms can be gathered' at the same time potato bugs are picked. Marketing will not be in tereferd with, for the tomato crop is ger.* rally well out of the way before potatoes are dug. WHY THE HOG SQUEALS. Farmers are receiving less for their hogs today than before the war. To them that means a heavy loss. But to the consumers of pork products it means nothing so far as lower prices for meat are concerned. One might reason that the slump in hog prices would bring about a somewhat corre sponding reduction in the,cost of meat, but it hasn't. The bureau of labor statistics at Washington keeps accurate tab on the cost of living. In a re cent pamphlet it lists meat prices at the leading re tail centers and compares, them with prewar costs. This shows that on Mareh 16, 1913, pork chops were selling at 20.3 cents a pound, and on the sa»ne date in 1923 they sold at 28.3 cents. Bacon which so'd in 1913 for 26.1 cents sold March 15 of the present year at 39.2 cents. Ham in 1913 was’26 cents a poapd, while last March it was 46 cents. This represents an increase of 39 per cent for pork chops, 50 per cent for bacon and 73 per cent for ham. Lard also went up 12 per cent. And in the same period the price of hogs de creased i7 per cent. Since March the price paid to the raisers has undergone a still greater decline. Yet this is not matched by any extensive change in the level of meat prices. It is a fact that hot weather limits the market for pork and that a good deal of this meat and lard has to be carried over. But if economic laws were allowed to work freely, when the supply of pork ex ceeded the demand at a certain price, then the price would be lowered to encourage consumption. If prices of pork products maintained a proper relation to prices of the hogs from which they are made, such a decline as the farmers are now suffering from would result in more pork eating because of its cheapness. And this enlarged demand would soon right the market and send hog prices up to a fair average. OFFICERS TRAPP AND DUNN. A police department without discipline is a menace, not a protection to the people,of Omaha. The action of five city commissioners in dismissing Officers Trapp and Dunn for carrying out the orders of Police Commissioner Butler cuts at the very heart of law enforcement. There is not a crook in Orhaha that does not re joice at the breaking of these two policemen. The morale of the police department can not be upheld under such destructive interference. More than anything else the police officers need the back ing of public opinion and the confident knowledge that the police commissioner is able and willing to uphold them so long as they carry out orders. Mayor Dahlman and Commissioners Dunn, Koutsky, Noyes and Hummel have by their acts robbed the police of Omaha of moral courage. They have made it apparent that their jobs are not safe when they carry out the orders of the commissioner of poljce. Mayor Dahlman’s defense of his position is a tissue of sophistry and a joke. If the city charter does not allow the police commissioner to give orders to his force, then it should be amended. The man in charge of law enforcement must be the actual head, and not a figurehead. When he orders the police to make a raid or pursue a certain policy, it must be made plain that he is assuming the re sponsibility, and that the officers will not be penal ized for their obedience. Every citizen knows that in practice it has been customary for the police commissioner to issue such commands, and this is too late a date to drag in any technicality. Concerning the legality of the search of the P. and B. cigar store, if there was any irregularity of procedure it is Police Commissioner Butler who is at fault, and not the men who followed his orders. And if the five commissioners believe that any unlawful action was taken by the police, then it is Butler that should be tried. Omaha is shocked at the shallow reasoning and wanton injustice of the suspension of two of its po lice officers, at least one of whom never has had a black mark against his record in six years of serv ice. Commissioner Hopkins is to be praised for standing out against the unworthy action of the majority of the city council. The poliice are constantly under criticism, and very often in danger. There are times when they risk their lives for the protection of the people. With what spirit can they he expected to carry out their orders if they feel that their action is subject to being reversed and disowned by the city com mission? An emergency confrdhts the people of Omaha. Unless they protest now, the police department may disintegrate until it is without nerve or authority. An Omaha boy has been awarded the Poe cup at Princeton, symbolizing his services to the uni versity. Such distinctions are worth while, and no recipient will ever forget having been so honored. Some day Arkansas f*!ks will get over the notion that emptying a shotgun into a crowded room is the proper way to establish social equality. Lincoln county citizens will eventually get at some facts in connection with the blaze that burned the old court house. Lincoln has now had <ftie warning from the ku kluckers, and it will be interesting to watch what comes out of it. The Majestic docked dry enough, hut some of her passengers must be nursing a lovely “hang over.” When a policeman becomes an "ex" he ought to be more careful when he starts hooting at people. The backbone of winter is bent if not broken. Homespun Verse —Hj Omaha's Own Poet— Hubert II orthingtnn Davie -----i_ MELODIES.

Reader* of Th* Morning Roo ara Invited to use this column freely for axpratalon on matter* ot public lotereot. Favor Week Day Religious Classes. Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: The appearance of an article on "Extra-Mural Religious In struction” in a recent issue of the na tional weekly, America, furnishes me the occasion to address you on the subject of the proposed plan for such instruction to Omaha public school children. When the plan was an nounced a month ago I sent clippings of the news item from all the Omaha dailies to national mediums of ertu rational and religious publicity. The clipping from The Omaha Bee was particularly good, because it gave the very wording of the proposal. 1 thought the plain statement of so wise and equable a plan was a suf ficient commendation of it, and that It was something of which Omaha could he proud. I was pained, therefore, to find very soon after that The Omaha .Bee edi torially opposed the vary proposal which it had so favorably reported and that it did so by arguments that seemed to carry their own refutation. Your assuming a position of an tagonism to the plan involved you in a controversy in which you were committed to the wrong side, and this was the more deplorable because It was a betrayal of The Omaha Bee's position as a shaper of public opin ion. a power for public education, and a promoter of true educational re form. America, in N'ew York, has no ticed the controversy and has written in commendation of the side you op pose hut that one fact is of rompara lively small importance. It Is the In trinsic wrong of your position that Is of consequence. Had It been assumed hv a paper of no standing there would he less reason for remonstrance; hut something better was to he expected of The Omaha Bee. You have injured yourself. Readers who would we], come an opportunity to commend the local press feel that an Important matter has been most unwisely dealt with hv a paper that ought to he ren reeenta'Ive of the best in Omaha *tVc may hope the\- as-ill find less to con demn and more to praise In The Omaha Bee's attitude on other vital questions PIERRE ROrSCAREX. B .7 The Prosperity of The Union Pacific. Omaha—To the Editor of The Omaha Kee: \\ hlle the editorial writers of the Omaha daily papers are discussing the wonderful prosperity of th» Union Pacific and while this transportation question is being dis ' ussed in all its present and past rela tionship might it not be good his torical information to reprint from the congressional record of February 2s, 1923. the following extract from an ad dress delivered on the floor of the senate by United States Senator Frank Gooding, a wealthy conserva tive Harding senator from Idaho; "A large part of the Union Pacific system 25 or 39 years ago was little better than a cow trail. Today it is one of the greatest roads in this country. Aii of the heavy grades have been eliminated. Practically every mile of the Union Pacific hag hr-en double tracked. The Oregon bhort I.lne has been developed and improved and part of It double tracked. It is a first ' lass system in every re spect The same . an be said of the Oregon Washington Navigation com pany It is on this road that new branches hare been built of very ex pensive and difficult construction Ort the Union Pacific system In the last ;o years 1,931 miles of new road have been constructed .and equipped All of this wonderful development has been done nut of the earnings of the system after paying at times exces sive dividends, and the interest charge on their Indebtedness, with the ex ception of J33.447.347 of new money as to the existence of which there is much doubt. I have no doubt that an investigation v.'ould show that this method has been practiced by all of the railroads " Senator Rorah passing through Omaha says that he Is not a candidate for president Indeed the senior senator ft m Idaho would h* happy if he could read his title clear to nn other term in the senate. The voters are up |n arms in Idaho and that ts the reason that the great constlttt tional senator from that stnte is rush Ing hqme to give an account of his stewardship W. H GREEN.

While we are not yet quite clear as to the motives which impel those who seek positions of honor without profit as members of the new board, we can hardly be mis taken about the designs of others, who are already hatching even before the < hicken has had an opportunity to lay its eggs. We have taken great pains to encourage the establishment of a uniform system of education, based on the experience of the best modern eductors, a system free from all sectarianism and partisanship, which would inspire respect and con fidence to all our citizens, irrespective of rreed. nationality, or political party 'Our citizens will therefore take heed not to Introduce the seeds of discord and fanaticism Into the Board of Kducat'.on by endorsing and fur thering the plans of anv individual or clique. hoViever plausible We under stand strenuous efforts are being made even now to secure the future ap pointment by the new board of rer tain gentlemen as superintendent of public instruction and principal of the high school In framing fh“ law for the government of the board, the ap pointment of these persons was not restricted to citizens of Omaha or Ne braska, but the hoard wsll be at lib erty. in case no suitable person can be found here, to select a superin 'ondent of known ability from abroad In rc-arrringing the present educational system, and laving the foundation for the future, all personal preferences should be disregarded the main object being to secure the services of gentle men thoroughly trained for this diffl cult task.

SI “From State and Nation” —Editorials from Other Newspapers— Dodging the Jury. From the Fremont Tribune. Occasion was taken in this column several days ago to comment rather critically on the current methods of selecting Juries in our courts, a com ment wiiich, by the way, was not di rected at the members! of any par ticular Jury. There has been a great deal of discussion on the subject from tarious angles since the appearance of the article. This is only natural, as It is a controversial subject, one on which any man may have and ex press an opinion, provided he has given it a little thought. Lawyers did not take kindly to the article because they sincerely believe that the present method is the only way to insure the elimination of prej udice from a Jury. Perhaps they are right. Men who have served on re cent juries did not like it because they were afraid it reflected upon them personally. They may rest as sured that it did not. It was the method, not the men, that was aimed St. On the other hand, a minister of the gospel in endorsing the editorial remarked that it took a lot of back bone to write -it. Not a bit of it— when you remember that the purpose of an editorial is not to create public opinion, but to Incite public opinion through discussion If there is any thing wrong with our jury system, the best way to correct the error is to get intelligent people to talking about and studying It. But still another cemmentator has pointed out a phase of the subject that is worthy of consideration He declared that the low standard of Jurv personnel to be found in many parts of the country is directly due to the shirking of the duties of citizen ship on the part of the very citizens who are best qualified to serve in that ca parity. It requires only a little reflection to see the truth in that contention There isn't one profess,onal or busl ne«s man In a hundred who. when called upon to report for ju*y dutv, will lay aside his business willingly to answer the call. Almost without »x ception such a man will plead that business as an excuse for Immunity from Jury service For years court officials hate run up against this same experience They have learned that It is useless to in clude the names of bankers, mer chants, educators and the like, be cause these men will invariably ap pear before the trial judge with plausibile reasons for being excused They are forced to seek out men whcse occupations are not pressing, or men of no occupa’ions at al! Inevitably this condition has led to a lowering of the standard As in the case of the first criticism, it is hard to find a remedy for the s:»ua tion It is easily conceivable that a merchant m-ght be < ailed away from his store at such a time that would entail serious financial losses to his firm, or that a farmer might he called away at such a time as to mean the loss of a crop When we consider all these things we begin to realize that a Judge in a modern court must in deed he s Solomon. But our jury system is perhaps the most vita! of ail our American insti tutions Trial hv jurv is the constitu tional right of every American citizen .accused of crime, and it is equally the right of everv citizen so Jeopard ■zed to expert the 'ury he m ;s* face to be composed of men well fitted to reach a just verdict The man who finds his name on a Jury panel should ponder deeplv he fore he goes before the udre to-a«k to be excused He should consider that the call amounts to an appea from an aroused rjt zen perhaps an unjustly accused citizen, to come tq his aid hv In'elhgnr'ly :evtewmr the evidence In the rase and rendering a v-se de-* - on He eh.- ild remember ’hat fa’e is fickle, H tt-*t ano*he> dav ‘he conditions mar be reversed and he mat- be the sccised and the o'her man ’he presrert -,-e Juror The Lightning Juggler* From the Philslelrhi* Public Ledger A while back Steinmetz, wizard of S. henectadi, u as er ilttinr holts of wood* with his home brew ed lightning Now another group of warlock* are at it up in Pittsfield.

Just the same, there Is something weird and menacing as well as hope ful and promising in this 4 per cent lightning that is being brewed and stored In giant condensing plates. The Merlins who are working with it dream of compressing the processes of a thousand years of nature into one little day: of shaping diamonds in the hell hot crucibles of tomorrow 's labor atories. and even of breaking up and transmuting all matter on the pur pied white anvils of the lightning How near such men may be to break ing the heart of the atom and un leashing forces such as shaped the planets from the space flung nebulae’ The possibilities for peaceful use and beneficent construction are great So ar» those for war and destruction And it is a sad hut true thing that man never has power In his hand without thinking of it In terms of death and disorder as well as of life and of order. r>«■ serving Democrat*. From the Falrbury New* Governor Bryan Is drawing down the eternal wrath of many prominent 'democrats in his party for the man ner In which he is parceling out the patronage They claim he has no consideration for any democrat unless h« gets his mail at the Lincoln post office During the years that he tnixed in the municipal politic* of the state capital he doubtless accumulated a bunch of political debts, but the democrats of the state at large refuse to believe that the state should he required to pay these oblig-tjlons. The Blue Hill Leader, a democratic paper, last week said: “It begins to look like the fellow who desires to land a political berth worth having has to move down Lincoln way. All the fattest jobs seem to land square in the laps of the Lincoln democrats They are a nice bunch of fellows, but the state Is larger than Lancaster coun'y, a fact the governor must take cognizance of We had our mouth set for the naming of Fred C Gund to an Important position, but the gov ernor had another notion ” A similar wail has arisen from many other democratic paners of the state hut we opine it will fall or. deaf ears The Rrvans go on the principle that a public trust was created to, build up and strengthen a personal machine The phra«* “de«#rvins democrat” Is in'erpreted hv the gov ernor to mean a democrat who has the Bryan brand blown in the bottle ( n Ttmner!'
