THE PRESIDENT AND THE FARMERS. President Harding should feel at home in the mid dlewest, for his administration has done more for the permanent benefit of agriculture than has that of any other chief executive. Coming into office at a time when the drastic deflation brought about under Presi dent Wilson was in full swing, he found the nation facing a farm crisis. Traces of that devastation will linger for many years, but the prompt measures of the Harding administration not only saved the agri cultural industry from ruin and set it on the sure road to recovery, but also give assurance through new credit legislation that such peril can never rise again. ^ It means much to the prosperity of America that farm crops in 1922 had a value $2,000,000,000 greater than those of 1921. This was due, not to any largi r volume of output, but to the improve ment in credit and marketing conditions. In his address at Hutchinson, Kan., Mr. Har ding reviewed the legislation by which the govern ment brought protection to this fundamental indus try. There are those in the east who do not under stand or approve the attention that has been given the interests of the agricultural regions. To these Mr. Harding makes reply that, “the farmer has received nothing more than was coming to him; nothing more than he needed; nothing more than was good for him; and nothing that was not also good for all of our national interests.” He does not regard the farmer as a ward of the government, like a Sioux Indian, but as a free born American who asks only an equality of opportunity with those engaged in other activities. He counts it as the crowning achievement of his administra tion that through the new system of farm credit American farmers for the first time in history are now able to obtain “adequate investment and work ing capital on terms as favorable as those accorded to commerce and industry.” This reference is to the Intermediate Credit banks which have been formed to advance money on livestock, farm equipment, growing crops and the like for a longer period than the customary 60 days or 90 days that meetg the merchant’s and manufacturer’s needs, but which is too short a time for the farmer. “I thoroughly agree that what is needed is fair prices,” Mr. Harding told his farm audience in Kan sas Saturday; ‘‘and I thoroughly well know that the farmer wants to get out of debt rather than to get further into debt.” But it is his opinion that a scientific credit system which makes possible orderly marketing will accomplish both these ends. Of this he says: "Many people hive been inclined to be skeptical r of the benefits which might follow the enactment of legislation to give the farmer a better system of credit. They have said that the farmer needs better prices for his crops and livestock, rather than easier ways to borrow money. That is true, but these friends do not seem to understand that prices of crops and livestock are directly Influenced by credit facilities. "In the past, farmers have been obliged to finance their productive enterprises by borrowing money for short terms. When times are good they have no difficulty in renewing these loans, but in periods of financial stress too many farmers have found themselves under the necessity of pushing their crops or their livestock on the market, not infre quently before the latter is fully fitted for mar ket, in order to pay notes which they had expected to be able, to renew, thus at times flooding the market and seriously depressing prices. Under a system of intermediate credit, administered with reference to the farmers’ seasonal requirements, they should be able to macket both their crops and livestock in a more orderly fashion, and this in It self will he a potent Influence In keeping prices more stable and reasonable." In Nebraska today a group of Hayes county fanners are organizing the first co-operative agri cultural and livestock loan association under the new federal intermediate credit law. Having been furnished with the opportunity, they have set to work to help themselves. It is with that in mind that the federal government has passed the greatest mass of farm legislation in history—not to set up a paternalistic protectorate, but to place the farm ers in a position where they can work out their own salvation. Mr. Harding has nothing to say of future legis lation—that is up to the men in the farming in dustries. He does express the thought that some alterations may he necessary, but depends on ex perience and the advice of the men on the soil for suggestions. New laws have been passed to facilitate co-opofative marketing, to prevent harm ful gambling in agi'.cultural futures and to regulate the packers. A farm tariff has been adopted, the federal land banks have been expanded and the fed eral warehouse act improved. And if there is any thing more needed, President Harding will not be found to stand in the way. There are many agricultural problems still to be worked out, but not all of them arc to be solved through act of congress. Never was there a time when leadership was more needed in each and every farming community. Rent, interest, distribution and transportation charges weigh heavily on the fanners of America. Instead of being rewarded ac cording to their efficiency they are penalized in pro portion to their efficiency, as may be seen when heavy yields produce a larger surplus than normal. The foundation for orderly marketing has been laid, but no one except the farmers themselves can rear the structure of a modern agricultural system. Comptroller General MrCarl may be in wrong with those bureaus whose accounts he is trimming, but if he keeps It. up, he will bo mighty popular with the taxpayers. Speaking of how the schools are taking up mat ters that once were duties of the home, in New York children are to be taught “crowd courtesy.” If the case of the Baltic and BerengaHa furnished the arid test of prohibition, as a T.ondon paper re marked, then prohibition passed with flying eolora. The judge who sentences a pair of cheek-to-eheek dancers to abstain from foxtrotting for a year in flicted cruel ami unusual punishment, all right. LET MACHINERY DO IT. Sober consideration of the industrial situation in the United States is turning thought to one of the apparent solutions of the so-called labor shortage. It is that of applying more and more labor-replac ing machinery to the productive processes. Charles R. Gow, president of the Associated Industries of Massachusetts, has recently pointed out some salient facts in connection with the present and future con ditions for the United States. Calling attention to the farm, Mr. Gow notes that, whereas there has been no gain in the num ber of farmers within the last ten years, the farms of America are producing food to meet the require ments of a little over 14,000,000 more inhabitants of the land, and at the same time have enlarged their exportable surplus by something over 10,000, 000 tons. Our farmers, because of the adoption of labor-saving machinery and devices, produce 12 tons of food per worker per year, while those of the rest of the world have an average of but 1 Va tons. Quite as much is to be said in favor of the machine in other industries. In the various branches of the steel industry, in textiles, in leather, in all the range of industry, hand hand processes have been almost completely sup planted by the machine. Quantity production is now the rule, and it has been made possible through the invention of apparatus suited to the needs of the particular trade, without which the results at tained could not be accomplished. Nor is the end to this in sight. At present the demand for greater output is a stimulus to inventors, who are induced to bring forth new appliances for doing the work of the world. While certain operations have seemingly success fully defied the machine, it is unsafe to dogmatically say they will not yet be conquered. In the building trades, for example, there is a shortage of man power that is not altogether ascribable to the intro duction of machines. Many of the things that were done by hand a few years ago are now done by the “iron man,” but the actual figures as reported by the Department of Labor of the United States is that in 1910 there were 530,000 building trade me chanics in the United States and in 1920 only 450, 000. Other industries might be similarly analyzed, but the outstanding fact is that, regardless of prog ress of invention, there remains employment for all, and at better wages than ever. The age of the "robot” has not yet dawned, but man’s increasing demands are running ahead of his ability to produce, and the machine is more and. more welcome as it comes to aid in solving the needs of the race. USING THE RIVERS. Thirty passengers recently made the trip from St. Louis to St. Paul by steamboat. Five days were consumed on the voyage, which was interrupted by numerous groundings on sandbars. This was the sec ond attempt of the packet Harry G. Drees to reopen passenger traffic on the upper river, the maiden voy age having been blocked by low water. It has not been many years since one of the pop ular vacation trips was on the Diamond Jo line, which plied over this same route. There were times, during the late summer, when these boats encountered diffi culty in navigating the upper reaches of the river, but seldom if ever was low water known in June. The Davenport Times blames the denuding of the timberland in the north and says that the forests used to retard the flow of water and maintain a favorable stage for navigation well into the summer. “Prodigal, improvident America, looking only to its immediate needs, destroyed without thought of the morrow,” remarks this Iowa editor. Today we find the nation’s greatest water course unable to bear the burden which the growth of the country imposes. As we submit to the penalty of the lack of a refores tration policy, we are also forced to an acceptance of the bitter truth that the lack of an internal water ways development program robs us of any hope of re covering at an early date the handicap resulting from the first instance of prodigality.” In truth there has not been much business sense used in relation to such great streams as the Missis sippi and the Missouri. Else they would now be carrying both passengers and freight. No other country in the world affords the spectacle of waste that is seen in the neglect of the river routes of America. Doubtless the cutting of the north woods has had its effect in alternate periods of floods and low water, hut no one can look at these great streams ( and believe that there is not enough water at all seasons of the year to carry commerce, if only the channel be kept clear. Though America has played the prodigal in the past, yet it is not too late to re pent and be forgiven. President Harding learned a lot, listening to that old Kansas farmer. How many Americans, if they were placed in contact with the president could ex press the facts about their business so well? Well, well, how we do get on. Here's a grand daughter of the boy orator of the Platte, getting married. The Woodmen C ircle, which favors any plan that will end wars, about sums up the American attitude. Perhaps Governor Bryan will lend the state some of his good intentions for road paving purposes. Homespun Verse —By Omaha's Own Poet— Robert Worthington Davie LITTLE BOY STREET.

The Short Ballot in Nebraska State Kditora Engage in Li\ely Debate Ove>r Merit of New Flan. Gordon Journal. It appears.that Nebraska is destined to vote next year as to whether or not Us citizens desire a shorter bal lot. While the exact form of the con stitutional amendment has not as yet been determined, yet in general it will involve the striking from the list of elective offices those of tlie secretary of state, state treasurer, attorney gen eral. commissioner of public, lands and buildings, and perhaps one more. These offices will then he fllld by the governor rather than by election. The movement has been started by a number of men comprising all shades of political behalf. Arthur G. Wray, former nonpartisan candidate for governor, is one of the fathers of the plan; Dan V. Stephens, former democratic congressman. Is another, and there are also many of the pro gressive republican leaders pushing it. They fool that It will make for bet ter government and we fully agree with them. Almost every student of government has recommendd the short ballot. Bryan, Wilson, Taft, Roosevelt are amongst these. We believe Nebraska would do well to get In limp. Columbus Telegram. At first glance the argument of the ballot reform folks looks good. The records show that at every recent annual election all the way from 20 to 40 per cent of the voters refused to pay any attention to the candidates for the offices below United States senator, governor, lieutenant-governor and congressmen, casting their ballots only for their favorites who were can didates for the official positions above named. And this proved indifference on part of the voters leads the refor mers to the certain conclusion that the masses of the voters do not really care much about the filling of the mi nor offices, and that the governor, or some other appointing power could make better selections than the In different voters have been In the habit of making. Well, granting that the contention of the ballot reformers is correct. In sofar as the indifference of the voters is concerned (and that cannot he de nied.I still there is a principle involv ed. Shortening the ballot, as planned, would be a long step in the direction of centralized government—a far step In the direction of one-man power Is Nebraska ready to take the step? Do Nebraskans really want to lodge such vast appointing power In the hands of a governor as to enable him to build a giant political machine, officered and manned by men appointed by him to draw state salary? The go called short ballot is only another name for centralization of power—only another plan to take power away from the peo ple and lodge that power In the hands of one man. R doesn't look good. Nebraska City Press. The Tress has favored the short Iiallot for a great many years, a ballot which can be cut to a length that will not Interfere with the rights of the people and one which will deprive the politicians of their easy sway. But thefe are obstacles to be met before we can adopt the short baJlot In Ne braska. There la the opposition which comes from the politicians, who know all about the short ballot: and there is the sterner opposition whloh comes from the people, who know nothing about It The latter class bases Its opposition on misunderstanding and damns that about which It knows so little. The most potent argument for the short ballot, in our mind. Is the fact that so few of tis know anything about the men for whom we vote. It Is safe that not one voter nut of ten has any reliable information about the candi dates for office who do not live in the voter's community, with the possible exception of the men who are candi dates for governor, congress, or the senate. The men w ho seek slate offices are entire strangers to the great ma jority who go to the polls. Krarney Huh. If a state Rhould be ruled exclusive, ly by a governor why should not the union of stales be ruled by a king? Short ballot boosters may answer at their leisure. Osceola Record. As will be seen on its face, the proposition Is as purely nonpolitlcal as any proposition can be. yet Gov ernor Bryan Is Jumping all over It In the frenzied attacks which he con tinues to make against the code form of government. In the opinion of the .Record, if the voters will study the plan carefully they may adopt It In the end. If they should decide that the national form of government Is the right form for the state to adopt, tt would put an eternal quietus to the code fight In the state of Ne braska. N'ellgh I/eader. Just how practical a plan the recent short ballot convention In Lincoln ha* or will put forth the writer docs not know, hut experience should teach every thoughtful person that some thing of the kind is needed. Gering Midwest. The short ballot. In the opinion of this newspaper. Is the solution of the present troubles in Nebraska. Jud why we should elect seven slate offl clnls, and then get nil balled up l>e cause their duties are conflicting nnd responsibility not fixed, is a question that lias never lieen satisfactorily answered. It would be Just ns sensible for the people of the United States to elect the cabinet officers. Why not elect a governor and lieutenant gov ernor, and then let the governor select his various secretaries. Jus! as the president of the United States does now? In that way harmony In Insur ed nnd responsibility absolutely fixed All this opposition to "granting loo much power to ttie* chief executive" is lbs merest l~ish. lie ought to have It. anti he ought to he held to strict accounts bill! v for the proper exercise of It. That Is the way big business Is transacted, and the slnte s business Is the biggest business In Nebraska York Republican. Those who clamored loudest and most Insistently for the printin' elec. Hon have discovered that popular government Is not what they want after all. Kvldently they thought when they were snorting nnd cavort mg for the rula of the peoph nnd the discomfiture of political bosses Hint every voter Would bo able to tmt his hand on the best man for every Office without a single suggestion from anybody. Now- tlu-y are ah snlutcly paddling lan k up the stream They say ll is folly to permit the com mon h' td to determine who shall he the officers. How call they know the • liinlinc.it ions of the dllToieiit catidl dates whom they have never *i>mi? they say. Now they propose i rem edy for the lines thet have plunged us Into suit the remedy is so much wotss than the disease that the tat t*r really seems w holesome. (•rami Island Independent. There may be merit In l lie short ballot form of elate government; there la merit In a shorter term for the political reformers on#* government changers. Many citizens will prefer to bo given a rest from code changes and the like for a time, even though Im provement in state government is pos sible by means of the plan proposed. Norfolk News. Probably not one in 10 of Nebraska voters, when he goes into the cur tained booth to mark his ballot, knows anything at all about the qualifications of the candidates for minor state offices. At the primary he goes it hit or miss, trusting to luck rather than judgment to keep hint from serious error. At the election he is likely to vote according to party label. This is not democracy. It Is not efficiency. Yet it is the way we nominate and elect our candidates. There is serious question whether it Is the best way to select officials to transact the state's business. The short ballot would probably remove some of the causes for dissatisfaction. Falrbury News. The short ballot movement is in short a scheme to foist a one man government on the state. - r ■ - 9 Tekainah Herald. Unity of action under one com petent head succeeds best In private business, then why not In public af fairs. We doubt whether the people would have elected as good a cabinet as President Harding appointed; most ail of them were chosen because they were experts in theii; line, like Mel lon, secretary of the treasury; Wal lace, a practical farmer for the Agri cultural department; Hoover, a man who had wide world experience, for secretary of commerce. It would all depend on the kind of man elected for governor. If he was more of a political partisan than a level headed statesman the short bal lot would be a failure. Because none but the most noisy campaigners would be appointed regardless of ability. Pierce County Call. The Call Is against the short ballot because we do not believe It will in crease the efficiency of the state gov ernmnt. We do not go to the extreme as Governor Bryan, by declaring all who are in favor of it are representa tives of “big biz." There are some good points in Its favor and some against it. Harvard Courier. The short ballot idea in Nebraska has now been started. Undoubtedly the people will have a chance to vote on it at the election. This paper be lieves that the short ballot would re sult In greater concentration of power and. possibly, more evils than we have now. There are good arguments on both sides of the question. Madison Star-Mail. The bobbed ballot boosters, who held a meeting in Eincoln for the purpose of inaugurating aome sort of a system of new government decreed that Governor Charles Bryan had no right to have an opinion different than that of his brother William Jennings Bryan. In fact one man believed that the statement of William three or four years ago in favor of the short ballot would effectually cause Gov ernor Charlie to renig, revoke and re construct his statement made the day of the boosters meeting that he was opposed to the short ballot. Aurora Register. Every law that takes public Inter est front public matters, that length ens terms of office or reduces the sense of obligation that officers feel toward the public is a bad law, and though there may be gain In efficiency by concentration of authority, there will tie big things like the a!rpl"tie and harness swindle of the war. like the assumption of power by a president to hind the nation to things that he thinks might he of advantage to them, but has neither time nor ability to un derstand: like the committing of a nation to close communion politics so a few people will rule the world that make it by far the most expensive form of government In the long run. Rule h.v bosses Is a good thing for the bosses, but there is too much temptation about it for the power of resistance of all but an Infinite«-ma! part of mankind.

Grand Duke Alexia of H'lasia stopped off In Omaha on hi* way we*>t on a biff frame hunting expedition, the incident was thus described In The Omaha Bee: "T HE OK A N I) D L' K K "He Arrives at 10:15 and Departs at 3. • Mrs RECEPTION AT THE DEPOT % ______ “He Is Shown tlie Night* <rf Omaha and Is Much Pleased With Our (flowing City.” "As the hour of 10 o'clock a. in. ap proached, our citizens began to wend their way toward the Ninth street depot, all actuated by one desire—that of seeing the grand duke. When the time for the ducal train to arrive drew near, there were probably 2.000 per sona at the depot. The fair sex were well represented, and several classes of school children were present, ac companied by their respective teach ers. "When the whistle of an approach ing engine announced a coming train, the crowd arranged themselves on either aide of the railroad track, some taking one position and others taking another. The train consisted of four PuUrn.ni palace cars, a baggage car and the engine. A hotel dining car stood upon the side track, and Gen erals Ord, Sheridan and Palmer, with the staffs, occupied it while awaiting the arrival of the train. As soon as the train stopped a captain was sent to inquire whether the duke was ready to receive the committee of re ception. An affirmative reply being returned, the military and committee went to the rear car on the train and were there presented to the duke. What transpired In the car we are unable to state, as by order of ihe man in charge of the door, our re porters were refused admittance. After the committee headed by Act ing Mayor Allen, had been In the car a few minutes, his royal highness ac companied by ex-Governor Saunders, and followed by (funerals Sheridan, Ord and Palmer, the officers on their staff, and the committee bringing up the rear, stepped upon the platform and proceeded to the carnages in waiting. "Alexis was escorted to the carriage driven by Mr. John Clarke, to which four iron gray horses were attached, and was the most stylish turnout In the whole lot He was accompanied by General Sheridan, ex-Governor Saunders and Acting Mayor Allen. The rest of the military and the members of the committee tbok other car riages, and the whole then drove off towards the bridge. After viewing this stupendous structure the carriages <X"vythp Far. m street, ami the duke a led by a sight of the Grand hotel and the new High School 1 lie was then driven to the I e of ex Governor Saunders.) dinner was served.

While the party were supposed to be at dinner the Omaha Mechanics' band serenaded them, but their services were not rec ognlzed in the least.

"The duke is a very good looking young man and was dressed in the costume of this country, not neglect ing the traditional stovepipe hat. He Is rather taller than the average or men, arid hears himseif mucit hettr than might be expected from one so young. The train for the west con sisted of five Pullman cars, two sleep Ing caches, two parlor coaches and one hotel car. the engine being draped with the American and Russian flags It is understood that Alexis Is very favorably impressed with Omana. "Wc* ca,,.,ot close this article, brief as it is, without saying to our read ers that owing to the courtesy (?) ex tended to us by those having the re ception of the duke in hand, we are able to give this much, and while acknowledging that duty, we never theless feel as though the unwar ranted discrimination against us was the result of either Intention, or came from a toadyism with which certain of the American people appear to be juRt now Imbued. Personally, we care nothing about it but when a class of our citizens, Inflated with the im portance of being recognized as at tendants for a brief period upon a scion of royalty, inten' onally throw insur mountable obstacles in the way of ob taining news, while discriminating in favor of other Journals, then we acknowledge our inability to success fully cope with them and throw up the sponge.” Daily Prayer The herd is worthy to be praised.—II Sam 2Z :*S.
