To know a man, one must live with him, and for ten days now the president has been among us. It is certain that a new intimacy has rrisen. The people feel that here is a chief execu tive who has taken them into his confidence. And if there has been a gradual uplifting of the spirit and r. broadening of outlook as he progressed westward, that makes him seem all the more human and lik able. t The west understands. In Mr. Harding it sees a man bent on upholding all the essentials of Ameri can government and life, but realizing also that with development comes change. Holding fast to all that is good, yet he would move forward toward those adjustments of life and industry that make for the fuller enjoyment of the blessings that should be shared in common. It is not by polities that the people are to be saved. He emphasize# in simple terms the im portance of the home and the broadened but not lessened responsibility of the mothers. How much ef the present woe of the world would be saved by what he calls “good breeding.” The school snd the church have likewise pressing duties, each in a dif ferent field. In referring to the need for religious training he declares that thia is particularly the duty of the home, and not to be surrendered to the school. "Mankind has never stood in more need than It now does of the consolations and reassurances which derive from a firm religious faith," he de clares. "We are living in a time of many uncer tainties, of weakened faith In the efficiency of In stitutions. of industrial systems, of economic hypo theses, of dictum and dogma in whatever sphere. Yet we all know that there are certain fundamental truths of life and duty and destiny which will stand > eternal, through the evolution and the revolution of systems and societies founded by mankind. There must be no mistake by which we shall confuse the things which are of eternity and those which are of time." -s'"* t From the mountain tops the president looks d^rn on the teeming land and gazes into the fu tu»<e. Not by drift is the destiny of America to be decided, hut by conscious direction. There are faults, even sins, in our present civilization, an.d it is only by regarding them frankly that their weight may be lifted from the shoulders of the people. “We are all too much given, I suspect, to a rather unthinking admiration for our highly mech anized social system under which we have ao abundantly produced wealth and the possibilities of comfort and culture.” Mr. Harding says at Helena. "We have not thought enough about the evlla*at tendant upon the great inequities which mark the distribution of our stupendous product. But we are coming Into a time when more and more we are giving'thought to these things. Our satisfac tion with the material achievements of our indus trial age is being qualified as it never was before by our questionings along these lines. We are thinking of the weaker links in the social chain. We believe the equality of opportunity must be at tended by a fitness to embrace it." This address in Montana, and the one before it made >n Idaho, may weather the years as land marks of American history. Not ever has any cresident no clearly sketched the lines of cleavage in nodem society. There sre those who hope to break down organized labor and reduce wages to the line of bare subsistence. There are those at the other extreme who hope by exorbitant demands to force nationalization of such utilities as the mines and railroads. Naming these, the president gives the assurance that he stands with neither. He rejoices at the fact that instead of millions of men out of jobs, there are more jobs than men to fill them. The right of men to organize into unions and bar gain through their spokesmen is assured. At the same time he holds up the obligation to the public of< both labor and capital. The future of America is up to the people—not depending so much on their vote as on their per sonal habits and beliefs. A great many of the po litical problems that vex our time are mere ex ternals compared to these matters that Mr. Harding touched on in the northwest. It is pleasant to see Senator Borah putting the stamp of agreement on the president’s world court proposal, and doubtless this has its importance, as does the president’s an nouncement of his belief that the present govern ment of Russia is permanent. But these are far off things as compared to his sketch of the rise of a co-operative commonwealth in America and his ad vice to producers and consumers to come closer to gether in order tq cut the high cost of living. With what clarity does he call attention to the real goal of progress: "The aim and object of our every policy must be the estnbllshment and maintenance of an inde pendent and self-respecting, reliant and Industrious intelligent and self helpful American citizenship. We must aeek to encourage thrift, to promote sav ing. to make the American home the headquarters of an ever broadening culture, a larger understand ing of the complex problems of our times sn<l of "V a determined aspiration for the fullest measure of economic and social Justice.” ON WITH THE DANCE. Pledges are taken from time to time by almost everybody, sincerely enough at the moment, but read ily forgotten or pushed aside when the time comes. Vet enough of them are observed to make it worth while to continue the custom. One of the most re cent examples is that afforded by fifty girl employes of four dance halls up in Seattle. They have pledged after this fashion: "I ’hereby solemnly promise to preserve proper decorum In my profession, to maintain an interest In the public welfare, and to perpetuate fraternal lojalty among the members of this association." If those girls, or even some of them, faithfully rdherc to that promise, it will be good for public dancing in Seattle, and perhaps the good will spread to other cities. Example is far better than precept for teaching good manners, and when the instruc tors and directors sat about in earnest to correct • ustoms that ara complained of, dance halls will he legs the subject for general condemnation. The premier ef Jugo-Slavia has just been shot st, showing that the experience of the last few . ears has not taught in the Balkans a better way of settling political differences than by assassination. • \ I RUNAWAY WATERS. Two or three very interesting points were con sidered by the group of congressmen who looked over the central Nebraska supplemental irrigation project. One of these is the sub-irrigation feature, which will store the waste water in the subsoil, and allow It to come back to the surface by the natural operation of capillary attraction. Nature pursues (his method, and in this instance man proposes to help nature by soaking the ground a little deeper than can be done by the usual rainfall. ’ Alfalfa sends down its roots many feet, seeking the moisture that lies stored away far beneath the surface, and to which the roots of the annual crops do not penetrate. Supplemental irrigation merely means that the stratum immediately beneath the seed bed will be moistened to such an extent as to make certain that the comparatively shallow-rooted crops will find the steady supply of water that is necessary to perfect growth. Another feature brought out for discussion is the method of financing. Representative Underhill of Massachusetts inquired if the project is too vast for private enterprise, and w'as informed that it is. Almost all reclamation projects are cf this nature, and none should ever be undertaken save under federal control. • More than the operatibn of finance is concerned in this. Methods of administration are as vital as those of furnishing the means, and uni formity, a desirable factor, can only be maintained when the separate projects are united through the general system with headquarters at Washington. Connection with the Smith-McNary bill is appar ent, and should need no discussion. That great gen eral reclamation measure will be brought forward in the next congress, and probably will pass. Fa vorable action on this comprehensive measure was delayed because of the inclusion of a project in the Columbia river valley in Washington that called for such expenditure of money as seemed unreasonable to the majority of congressmen. When this can be adjusted there will be little if any opposition to the bill. Generally, the visit, even of a small number of congressmen, to the central Nebraska project was of service. It gives the eastern men who saw the ground a much better notion of what is going on 'than they could otherwise have had, and out of this should flow a sentiment that will be helpful to the general plan. Those who have worked to bring this enterprise as far along as it has progressed de serve commendation and congratulation for their energy and persistence. They will yet see the run away waters of the Platte used to bless a fecund soil. TELLING MR. KEARNS. Jack Kearns may know all about some features of his profession, that of promoting and managing prize fights. He will be conceded any honor he may claim in this regard, and also given credit for know ing how to run a successful “whizzer.” Also, he should be credited with having good common sense. This is the best possible guaranty that the fight scheduled to take place at Shelby, Mont., on July 4, will come off as per announcement. In the pink sheet on Thursday afternoon this announcement was printed: "Kearns realizes that every effort has bee,n made to raise that $100,000 for Dempsey's third payment. We have failed. We gave him the best we had— #110,000. That doesn't represent money turned Into his coffers by a few professional fight promoters. It is money turned over to those promoters by nearly a thousand sport lovers of Montana through pur chase of tickets or In direct loans, the repayment of which was conditional upon the fight being a success. "Kearns says be won't permit Dempsey to fight unless he gets the $100,000. He's bluffing—for that other $100,000. But he knows It can't be raised. And he knows likewise that If he doesn’t send Demp sey into that ring at Shelby something is going to happen which is not going to be pleasant.” Montana men do not idly indulge in such talk. When they say that the $210,000 already in Kearns’ possession does not represent the contribution of pro fessional pugilists or gamblers, but the price that good men of Montana are willing to pay to see the prize fight, they are simply stating the fact. When they say further that if the fight does not take place, something unpleasant will happen, it is not a threat but a promise. And they keep such promises in Montana. Kearns may be able to get away with his system in other parts of the United States, but he picked a poor place to start a bluff when he went to Montana. He undoubtedly knows this as well as anybody, and as he is a good as well as a cautious business man, he will doubtless regard the $210,000 as a fair price for his champion's appearance, and let it go at that. His experience will be cherished as a model for con duct by other city slickers, and it will probably be some time before another “championshipii contest is staged at Shelby. _ , a Doctors have saved the life, memory and use of limbs to a youth who lose part of his brain to an airplane propeller. Some folks seem to get on very well with no brain at all. If Montana men say “Dempsey will fight, or—*” we would advise Mr. Dejnpsey to fight or make his will. At least it is no handicap to be related to Arthur Mullen when seeking an appointment from Governor Bryan. Those June thundershowers certainly do clean things up.

Many who ntlll live here will recall the jubilation over that event. Edward Rosewater commented on it after this fashion: “THE EXPOSITION ASSURED.” "The Transmisslssippt exposition at Omaha In the year 1898 Is at last definitely assured. The bill granting congressional recognition to the en terprise and pledging 8200,000 from the national treasury for a govern, ment building and exhibit has passed the crucial ordeal of legislation and executive assent and is now a law. With national recognition granted and participation of the government guar anteed. the great enterprise Is safely lauched. The co-operation of the re. spectlve states and territories In the transmlsslsslppl country will follow as a natural sequence. The advan tages which this great exposition will afford for the development of the vast resources of the country directly con cerned will be the strongest Incentive for participation. For the states con tiguous to Nebraska, and especially for Omaha, the exposition will In aucurnte a new era of development and prosperity. "The contest over the exposition bill In the house had engrossed public at tention In this section as no other measure had before. The mere an nouncement that the exposition bill had passed through both houses and received the president’s signature has created unbounded popular enthusiasm and a general revival of confidence. "The glory and credit of the final success should he accorded where it properly belongs. “The people of Omaha have reason to feel grateful and they will not be slow to appreciate the service ren. dered by their Indefatigable repre sentative In the house.

Washington.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: I note with considerable interest and amusement the advice given me in this column a few days ago by a contributor from Missouri Yuliey, la. He thinks that the un dersigned should clean up Nebraska, and that law enforcement, like char ity. begins at home. From a careful perusal of our state newspapers I think that mje personal friend and former fellow townsman. Director U. S. Hohrer. together with tils force, several with whom I am well acquainted, are keeping Nebraska cleaned up in good shape and.do not need any assistance from me. Of course I shall be glad to co-operate, if needed. I,ast summer while out in the state a former "wet” druggist friend of mine voluntarily told me1 that condi tions had undergone a remarkable change for the better In Nebraska since the saloons were closed in 1917 by popular vote. He said he was getting a much belter class of trade than formerly, his business associa tions were much more satisfactory, he had fewer bad accounts, and that personally he would never consent to the old regime again, * spent about six months of last year In Nebraska and during all that time did not see a single person "stagger.* When my home city was "wet" back In 1915, it waa a dally occurrence to see three or four drunlta staggering down the eidewalk. Omaha and Council Bluffs, having a large foreign element, have their difficulties, of course, but these are only temporary. Judge Anderson of Indianapolis thoroughly cleaned up Gary, Muncle and the Indiana state capital. Gary public officials now know that prohibition Is strictly en forced. so does all Indiana. Even Tom Taggart, former "wet” adherent, recognizee that enforced prohibition has reached Indiana to stay. Conditions In the national capital have greatly Improved since prohibi tion. Think of the big Shrlners con vention with thousands of visitors. I mingled with the crowds up and down Pennsylvania avenue, and a more orderly and sober aggregation of merrymakers I never witnessed. Washingtonians are still comment ing upon it, and in viety of previous conventions here, admit* that prohibi tion can be enforced in this little capital city of our nation, with its 435,000 permanent pottlation, and from 200,000 to 250,000 floating popu lation. YY'ashington did not go dry by its own vote, as did Nebraska and lows. As to my own doorsteps: Prohibition is no longer a local or state ques tion, but natjonal in Its scope. The ratification by the states of the pro hibitory amendment changed the former status of local, county and state prohibition to that of a. fed eral policy. Our doorsteps now em brace the entire nation on the sub ject of prohibition and law enforce ment, rightfully considered. New York city, largely foreign, cannot long dominate the old American em pire etate. NEBRASKAN. Solving the Price Spread. Omaha—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: There has been consid erable discussion regarding the wide spread of prices between the producer and consumer, and in many quarters we hear the cry raised to do away with the middle man. while front other quarters we hear It said the only rem edy la to decrease production, and many advocate that by collective buy, lng and selling—through co-operatives —we will find a solution to the prob lem. That cooperatives arS an Immense benefit Is not to be denied; they prob ably represent the maximum distance the farmer and other producers may go by shortening the distance between the producer and ronsumer under our existing system of private lending of money and credits—the Federal Re serve Bank system. The estimated value of all real and personal property In tlij United States, according to assessed valuation re ports In 1922, w as $200.000,000,r>00. and the bonded debt of the United States, public and private, amounted to $120.. 000,000,000, iiavable in gold and draw ing t! per cent Interest, making a total of $7,200,000,000 In Interest that must tie i«id to the private money lender. ' Thpt all classes of bonds and funded debts collect interest in some rnea»ure in any human activity In volving an exchange vf pUr,ha«e can not b~ dented, and In any system of private money lending Interest In evitably compounds year by year, re. suiting in a constant spread between producer and consumer. In other words, as the annual In tercst bill of the nation mounts, year by year, the cost of production and price of consumption Is steadily pushed farther and farther apart. In terest has lieconie so Important a fac tor that it no doubt represents the greatest single clvarge tn the retail prices of nil commodities. It would then appear that the re suit of the formation of co-operativ es [on a national or International scale would eliminate innumerable middle men. but would only offer a small measure of relief to producer and con sumer, for In the end the spread be tween these two will continue to ex pand unless we succeed in checking or eliminating the constant drain re suiting from an ever Increasing In terest blli. Co-operatives, therefore, would apjwsar to be a mere palliative; they offer only temporary respite in our economic problems. But they offer no permanent relief from the greatest burden of al!—interest. Be lief can only come through establish ment of a debt paying system of gov ernment owned banks, involving the nationalization of interest, until such time as it can be abolished. We ask our friends in the trade union movement what use it is to seek an adjustment of wage scales each year, with a constantly varying economic situation, meanwhile neglect ing a solution of the interest probiem? Have you not learned your lesson by bitter experience that the strike is an ineffective weapon and Is powerless iq the fight to better wage or working conditions? Instead you should throw the weight of your organized effort to effect stabilization of tiio relation be tween production and consumption; once that goal Is achieved your re curring wage problems would be much more susceptible to a lasting settle ment with the elimination df lntersst and the producers—farmers and labor ers—would receive more money for the products of their labor. How will the people, which la the government, ever be able to pay off the public debt of 123,000,000,000? There le no possible way for the gov ernment to refund or pay Its present debt except through the efficients of banking, except by drawing checks upon the banking system. Under the present banking system—Federal Re serve banks—all the profits will go to the present banking system. Under government owned banka, such profits would go to the govern ment banking system. Why is it not a good thing for the government to have these profits for itself? Under government banking, the taxes col lected to pay interest charges would be kept by the government. At the end of 40 years the government will have forty billions of profit in tts hanking system to pay off the loans of twenty-three billions. But the pay ment of the twenty-three billions would be made to itself (our own citi zens who hold these bonds), since it would use its own banking system. Queer operation, isn’t it? Out of forty billion dollars ef profits in the posses sion of its own banking system, gov ernment may use twenty-three billions to clear its debt to Itself, yet after the debt is paid government will still pos sess the whole forty billions. It will pay'twenty-three billions of dollars without expending one single cent. Just think it over for a while. It is the solution of the wide spread be tween the producer and consumer. ROY M. HAKROP. President American Economic League. I Building Man Power, Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: The building of our man power must be our peace time effort. Reserve officers of the state of Ne braska who stand as the minute men of our country, ready and pledged to service, will be interested in there fig ures: Of the 4.000,000 men called to the colors in the World war f30.000 were limited service men, and today the Veterans' bureau tell* us that two out of every three of the veterans re ceiving aid from the government were limited service men. Why did we accept these limited service men? Because only 21 per cent of the men who presented them selves were physically fit to serve! How are we going to guard against a recurrence of this condition? Pres Ident Harding asks us to send 100.000 of our boys, between the ages of 17 and 24. to the Citizens’ Military Train ing camps—not for the purpose of making soldiers of them primarily, but for the purpose of making men physically, mentally and morally fit. "The government will pay all ex penses ef those attending these fampa including transportation, uniforms, food and medical care. Each candidate will pay his own transportation to the camp and be reimbursed upon ar rival at the rate of » cents a mile, or else apply in advance for government transportation after he has been noti fied that bis application lo attend the camp has been approved." The question of our manhood Is the paramount Issue of our country to day. l-et every organization and individ ual of the officers’ reserve corps of ths army of the United State* stand with our president in his great effort to build the manhood of America. The program, to succeed, demands that you as individuals see that your boys and jour neighbors’ boys attend these camps. Nebraska must lead In this move ment. LIEUT. COL. FRED B RTONS.

A few days ago an old lady died In one of the benevolent home* for the aged In Omaha. Several of the city papers commented more or less exten sively on t,he incident, particularly dwelling on the helpful, inspirational character of the woman and her life there. One paper said in the head lines of an article, "Beloved woman, near century mark dies, mourned by associates In the home.” She was In the same eulogy said to have been hostess in a lawn tea party last summer, given in her honor, at which "she sang very prettily several hymns and told bits of her past his tory." She Is said to have been "a dear old lady loved by everyone in the institution." Young miss of 16. do you ever think what people will say of you when your fair face shall bear the macks of many years, when the glory of youth shall have been en riched by the majesty of age? Will your life be such as shall win such heavenly praise even though you be an inmate of a charitable institution? To "win the love of everyone" Is as seemingly Improbable as to say of an activ* man "he never had an enemy.” But it is neither Impossible or unusual. It is as easy to win love ee It ie te Incur hatred. We often make enemiee unwittingly, unintentionally, but w» win love consciously and purposely. Sincerity, sympathy, charity, sell effacement. cheerfulness, affection, a> ■ commodatlon, these are the "fruits ot the Spirit” that win love. All of these qualities are just as possible in the charity home for the poor as in the luxurious home for the rich. Gener ous gift* may win gratitude but they do not win love, and It is not nec essary to be rich or powerful to bring sunshine Into gloomy lives, to wipe away the tears of affliction, or restore a breaking heart. A thoughtless word that wound*, a sneer that cuts, a reserve that gives the effect of superiority, an indiffer ence that denotes contempt, will create an enmity too bitter to be effaced by later apologies or acts of restitution. When we sea so many people give themselves to these repelling manners we do not need to go with them into their life associations to know that they are neither happy themselves or bring happiness to others. Love, that love of Christ’s that ’’passeth ail un derstanding." is the key to it all. To "win the love of everyone.” means to love everyone: loving and being loved by everyone is "all of life to live.” A Matter of Propriety. From th# Tula* World.
