PUTTING SERVE INTO SURFACE.
f*
Douglas county will soon have completed eighty
jj wiles of well paved roads, entirely outside of Omaha.
Jj> This is a distinct contribution to civilization, since
| there is nothing that so advances the understanding
* between man and man, nation and nation, as means
J °f communication. With the beginning of the
1 present century Americans began to fully realize
* that the richest country in all the world had about
the poorest highways. The point had been made bc
*■ fore, yet not much had been done to remedy the sit
uation.
Adapting the automobile and motor truck to the
domestic uses of the people, as supplementary to the
* service of the railroads, forced attention to the high
ways. Reluctantly enough the work of improvement
was taken up, but once it got well under headway, a
' year or two before the war, it made such rapid prog
1 less that now the annual expenditure on highway
construction and maintenance in the United States
is almost $1,000,000,000. It will take a long time to
overtake the railroads at this rate, the tentative val
, uation of their property having been fixed three
! years ago by the Interstate Commerce commission at
$18,500,000,000.
Yet the farmers are making use of the auto
trucks and the improved roads. In one region re
cently carefully surveyed, it was learned that the
average haul to market had increased 6.9 by horses
to 17.6 by truck, the new market thus opened being
to the farmer’s advantage. Yet, until the work of
improving the highways has gone muph farther, and
a network covers the farming districts, instead of a
few main lines, there will be complaint. Farmers
living ten miles from an improved highway help to
pay for it, but receive slight benefit from it.
It is an era of road building, long lines of hard
surfaced highway over which the cost of hauling is
materially reduced. In the fullness of time these
v lines will be extended in all directions, so that every
farmer will have the advantage of paved roads.
Douglas county is leading a procession up to that
time.
OMAHA PLAN SUSTAINS WHEAT.
The Omaha idea is spreading, not like fire in a
stubble field, but like a pleasant rainstorm over a
sun-parched pasture. Governors of grain growing
states, presidents of grain carrying railroads, Cham
bers of Commerce in grain marketing centers, mar
keting organizations of various kinds, and business
men generally throughout the country are pledging
support. The move will become nation-wide in its
influence within a very short time.
Agreeing that the reduction in freight rates on
. export wheat is most practical as well as the most
feasible method for relieving the situation, the
Omaha committee will direct its efforts principally
to urging that on the railroads. Co-operation from
other grain markets must be had in order to make
this go over, and this support is confidently antici
pated. A number of replies to the letters sent out
have been received from presidents of grain carry
„ ing roads, although the general nature of the con
tents is reserved until all have been heard from. The
prospects for a conference within a reasonably short
time is considered good.
In the meantime, the buying feature of the plan
Las not been neglected and will not be; efforts to
push it generally are being made, and encouraging
responses are coming from different sections of the
wheat growing region. One effect of the campaign,
as noted by a grain dealer, is that the descent in the
price of tvheat has been checked. If the campaign
has achieved only that much, it has done good service.
Activity in other centers along the lines set up
in Omaha is having good effect, and reports gener
ally approve the buy wheat plan as a success. With
all hands working together, good results are certain.
UNCLE SAM AN AWFUL EXAMPLE.
The under secretary of war for Great Britain
has just answered a question in the house of com
mons to the effect that the United States is the only
great power having a larger army in 1922 than it
had in 1913. We may be very sure that this state
ment will be played upon to show the bellicose and
insincere disposition of our country. In order to
get the correct viewpoint, however, the entire record
should be examined. That will show that in 1913
the United States had the smallest number of men
under arms of any of the important powers, and that
the increase complained of still leaves us with fewer
men than France or Russia, just a few more than
Germany, which is supposed to be disarmed, and half
as many more than England, whose ‘‘far-flung battle
line’’ has been materially shortened as a result of '
internal readjustments in the empire.
Interests of the United States have enormously
• increased since 1913, while the military establish
ment has in no sense kept pace with the movement in
other directions. This is as it should be. Our na
tion is not a military power, it never was, and it
never will be. If we are required to keep up an
army at all, it is because our neighbors in the world
have not adopted the policy suggested when the foun
dations for our government were laid down.
Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, the Adamses
md others of the fathers of the constitution and
'ounders of the republic, were not pacifists in the
sense that they would not defend their rights, but
they were champions of universal peace. Samuel
Adams wrote a resolution of instruction to the dele
gates from Massachusetts that might well be taken
as a model for a Bok prize essay. But these men
and their successors have preserved the union by
giving it proper defense. Mankind i» not in danger
because of the army of the United States, which has
inly marched in defense of human rights and to pre
serve liberty for mankind.
Those Saskatchewan farmers ought to congratu
late themselves the grasshoppers were being blown
away, instead of traveling under their own steam.

RECOGNITION FOR RUSSIA.
Whatever else the United States may or may not
have done since the Treaty of Versailles was signed,
four years ago, nothing is more to our credit than
the work accomplished in Russia. While certain of
the enthusiastic advocates of soviet government have
clamored for “recognition,” a great adventure in hu
manity has been carried on that scarcely needs ad
vertisement. The lives of more than 10,000,000 Rus
sians were saved by the United States, at a cost of
$62,000,000, of which the government gave medical
supplies, grains for seeds and other necessities to the
extent of $30,000,000, the remainder of the sum
being contributed through various organizations, but
all representing American philanthropy.
Some idea of what was encountered by the Amer
ican Relief Administration in Europe is given by Dr.
Henry Beeuwkes, chief of the medical division, in a
letter, from which is condensed:
"The A. R. A. brought to Russia ?7,685,000 worth
of medicines and other sick room necessities. It
brought a score or more physicians, large quantities
Cf scrum, vaccines and other disease preventives. It
opened free hospitals, clinics, dispensaries; cleaned
up entire cities, and vaccinated rich and poor by the
millions. So that instead of there being 277,701
cases of typhus in Russia as there were in March,
1922, March, 1923, saw only 6,321 cases.
"When the Americans arrived in Russia they
found everything lacking for the care of the sick.
Hospitals were filthy. Wounds were dressed with
newspapers, or wrapped with rags from the person's
own clothing. Water supplies were polluted, and
plumbing was beyond use; often without hope of re
pair. Drug rooms were empty of the simplest and
most essential remedies. The food was unspeakably
poor and woefuly inadequate.
"America has wrought a transformation here.
The A. R. A. distributed to these institutions a mil
lion and a half pounds of soap. Neo-Savarsan,
which proved a perfect specific for relapsing fever,
was supplied to the extent of 700,000 ampules. The
quinine alone, some thirty tons of it, was valued at
more than half a million dollars, but no one can
estimate what it was really worth to a country
whose most prevalent disease is malaria."
One feature of the work was the establishment
of 16,000 hospitals and other institutions for the
care of ailing or injured, having a constant capacity
for more than 1,000,000 patients. Col. William N.
Haskell and his corps of 200 assistants are on their
way home, having wound up their work, and left
with the Russian people a more lasting memory of
what the American people have done for them than
could be gained from a myriad of political or other
visitors. No matter what the relations between the
governments may be, and they ought always to be
friendly, America has set up a monument in Rus
sian hearts that will endure.

LET THE GIRLS HAVE A CAMP.
We have hymned many a hymn in praise of the
Iowa girl. Not that she is superior to those of Ne
braska, for there are no such, but because the girls
of Iowa from time to time do things that deserve no
tice, and we-have one of those times before us now.
Our latest paen in her honor was excited by the
triumph of two girls from Eddyville in a national
canning contest. Those girls made a trip abroad,
received much honor and adulation, and returned to
Eddyville, where no doubt this season they are put
ting up things in jars and cans and glasses, just as
they did last year and will do next. Good eanners
are born, not made, and down in Wappello county is
a good place to be born.
Floyd county girls now come to the fore, with
a request that they be allowed to take military train
ing at summer camps; not a co-ed camp, but one of
their very own. In presenting their plan to the pres
ident of the United States, Misses Alitta Carey and
Percy Daine of Charles City argue in this manner:
"Why Is it we can't have a chance to do our bit
the same as the boys? It ever the chance arose the
girls' United States army would and could help out.
Besides helping the United States it would help the
girls. Girls that have no home become 'tufT.' A
training camp would be a fine thing for them. Girls
can learn to handle arms the same as boys.
' There are girl scout camps around here, but
girls over 18 are not admitted and, liesldes. we'd like
real training such as shooting, drills and everything,
similar to the boys.”
This might work out well for the country at large.
When we went into the world war, we found that
girls could be useful in a lot of ways besides knitting
cocks and sweaters, but we had made no provisions
for training them. If the government were to set up
camps where Euch instruction might be given, along
with some other things that are good for the girls to
know about, the end would be service to all.
Just how closing American factories will help the
farmer out is not clear, but the free traders seem to
think that is the course to pursue.

THE PARADI8E.
The Paradise—a stream I know.
And treasured In the Long Ago;
Its shad banks, Its winding ways—
The bliss It brought Jn faded days-r
The swimming hole of summer fair—
The true content that gurgled there—
The quiet song It seemeil to sing—
The soulful rhythm of its swing
The winter skating scenes were bright
With fervor and sincere delight.
And dear to mem'rv is the Joy
I shared when I was a boy.
The Paradise flows on and on.
Hut many of the youths are gone,
And others tread the shady way
Familiar In my Yesterday:
I gaae upon the tranquil stream
Through all the brilliance of a dream;
It brings the happy poet to view.
And friendship* that were dear and tine
Are lllfted from the dark abyss
of silence and beheld with bliss.
As may the mind survey with Joy
The glsdnees of a little boy.

Wheat And The Markets.
Walthill, Neb.—To the Editor of
The Omaha Bee: So many have rush
ed into print relative to the farmer's
situation that it requires more or less
courage to add even a world to what
has already been said. However, the
campaign to buy wheat has attracted
considerable attention, and it seems to
me that a few suggestions might lie
of Interest to someone. I have been
told recently by prominent members
of the Chicago Board of Trade that
this campaign originated in that body,
but the origin of it is of little impor
tance, because we are warranted in as
suming that regardless of the origin,
the purpose and obpect of the origina
tors were to stimulate the wheat mar
ket. Let us see, however, whether
such will be the result. Before study
ing the results, it is always best to
know the cause. Various causes and
combinations of causes have been as
cribed.
Some well-informed authorities
claim that the depleted buying power
of Europe, together with an increased
crop in Europe and Russia, makes tire
foreign demand very light, thus weak
ening the market. Others claim that the
demoralized condition of foreign ex
change is one of the leading causes
of the trouble. Still others insist that
a specially heavy carry-over keeps the
future buyers out of the market. An
other school o{ market prophets tell
us that the development of the co
operative has upset the market, and
that the tendency toward the center
ing of large amounts of farm products
under the control of one organization
will stifle competition. Senator Ladd
of North Dakota is very positive that
the market has been pounded down
because of a program of retaliation,
by tne members of the several grain
exchanges because of the recent legis
lation commonly known «s the
"futures trading act."
Regardless of these causes and com
binations of causes—actual or fanci
ful—the price is down and It is down
below the cost of production, and the
wheat raiser is the sufferer and the
net results spell ruin for him.
It Is an admitted fact that because
of the system of (lumping a large
volume of grain on the market at
thresnlng time, within a short period
of time, the legitimate demand is in
sufficient to absorb the volume offered,
and the only market left is the
speculative trade, and the price natur
ally suffers. There is no secret about
this. 1 has occurred year after
year.
It is now proposed to relieve the
pressures by including the business
men of the country to buy some of
this wheat to take it out of the mar
ket and relieve the pressure. This, at
most, is a temporary markeshift. It
may do some good, and no one should
discourage it. tut it occurs to me that
if these business men who want to
help would actually buy the actual
wheat from the fanners and put it In
storage and take it out of the market
for a definite time, they would a, ,m
plish more good for the relief of the
fanner than though they were buying
from the speculative trade and parti
cularly If they buy futures, and not
the actual grain.
However, if this grain is bought.
It will not be removed from the sup
ply. and it will be a part of grain on
hand to he turned into the market at
some futur# time, and If there is a
largo volume of it. It will certainly
have tho effect of Intimidating a
future steady market. This will be
particularly true unb ss there is some
uniform method of control of these
sales In the future If there should
be 1,000 men in Nebraska, each own
ing 1,000 bushels of wheat held In
storage for the benefit of the market,
the time will come before many
months when these men will feel that
they have discharged their duty and
if the price has advanced they will
desire to take their earnings, and
probably at holiday time, or at some
other period when funds are needed,
most of them will turn their wheat
onto the market and the market will
sag. Would It not be well to encour
age tlie farmers t-> store their own
wheat, take warehouse receipts, draw
60 per cent of the value at a low
rate of interest and take theii own
profits.
Sixty per cent of the present mar
ket price would bring some relief and
reduce the amount of grain that goes
on the market and It might have a
tendency to steady the demand, and
make a healthier market price, if
this movement was organised in good
faith for the benefit of the farmers,
let the farmers get the most of It.
They need it. HARRT L. KRKFK

Few of the thousands who live tn
l he northwest part of the city will
recognize thin pen picture of what
that section was like In l&7fi, It
is from the flies of 'Jhe Omaha
Bee, and was printed on April 2H
of that year.
"A Bee reporter paid a visit the
other afternoon to the bachelor home
of A1 and Matt Patrick, on Twenty
third street on the northern limits of
the city. They have 110 acres of land
there, beautifully located and all
fenced in. Bast fall they built a hand
some cottage house, and a new stable,
expending over $7,000 in these im
provements alone. The Patrick
brothers have long had a hankering
after fast horses, and they are grati
fying that desire to its fullest extent.
We took a stroll through their stable
and premises and saw some of the
finest horses and cattle in this part of
the west. The ‘Kentucky Clay' stal
lion, which they bought the other day
from Dr. Herr, the well known Ken
lucky stock raiser, attracted our at
tention. lie is a large, heavy horse,
16 12 hands high, well built, and
handsome as a picture. Th.s horse's
pedigree Is made up of 62 Messenger
crosses and 14 Qodolphin crosses, and
is a relative of ‘Bad.v Thorn.’ He is
the father of several valuable colts
in this vicinity—the Redick colt, 2
year-old, which is developing speed
rapidly; the Addis colt. 2-year-old. and
able to trot a 3-mltiute gait; the Po
land colt, and about a dozen others,
the very best in the country.
" Fannie McCormick,’ a thorough
bred mare, standing in the next*stall,
is everybody's p>et. A1 Patrick sold
her io a Mr. Davis of Bondon for
$3,000, and then brought her back for
$3.50(1. She lias no record, hut can
trot in 2:30. and will prove it at the
races in June. She Is of Blackbird
breed, full blooded. ,
" 'Brimstone' is a fiery 2-year old
colt. out. nf a full blooded Blackbird
mare, bis father being Boston Boy.’
"In the 70-acre pasture a 5-year-old
thoroughbred long winded mare, pur
chased of Mace Wise, of Council
Bluff.-', for $700. and able to trot 20
miles an hour, was running around in
company with M.iggle Mitchell,' 19
year-dd (with foal.) whose name is
well known In the stud book.
We were also shown a fine lot of
thoroughbred cattle, among them be
ing an Alderney heifer, a Jersey hei
fer, and a Durham hull and cow. the
four costing $1,250 and were purchas
ed from Murphy last fall at the state
fair, where they carried off first pre
mium.
"Besides these thoroughbred animals
that have been mentioned, the Patr'"k
brothers have also a large lot if other
valuable thoroughbred horses and cat
tle; also thoroughbred hogs, chickens
and dogs: in fact, there is nothing on
the premises that ;s not thoroughbred,
not even excepting the proprietors
themselves
"They certainly have an elegant
home and are improving it rapidly.
... They are hospitable to a fault,
and, reader, if you get an Invitation
to pay them a visit at their bachelor
home don't you refuse It- They'll
treat you like a prince.”

hand, of the larger, nation-wide ques
tions such as transportation, league
of nations Intrigue, etc.—and quite
as Senator Norris has always done—
there is in Nebraska this year a con
gressman who is doing an unusual
thing—but a very sensible one.
Congressman Robert .Simmons of
the Sixth district, largely contiguous
to our own county, has been em
ploying the past few months by trav
ellng over the district with his fam
ily, per auto, with camping outfU
that is used when necessary. He has
an earnest desire to get close to th*
hearts of the people whom he repre
sents at Washington. His are un
usually direct and diligent efforts to
ascertain what his people regard as
their greatest needs at the hands of
1 the government. And. according to
rorne of his closest friends, he is be
ginning to find out.
He attends the f armers union an
nuat picnics—as at Lodge Pole
where lie met 5,000 farmers, stock
men and merchants. He speaks tc
them and they to him. He drives to
Chappel. to Oshkosh, to Hyannis. If
night overtakes he camps. He at
tends the Chautauqua at Dunning
There he meets 1.000 at a time. At

dips away down into Howard, coming
as near to Grand Island aS St. Libo
ry, with a short stop here enroute to
hia own territory west of us. And
so he meets personally, interviews
personally, and gets into close touch,
personally and intimately, with more
men and women in his district than
Is possible in any other way.
He asks them—and they tell him
frankly—what is their most pressing
need. It is learned that transporta
tion and marketing are regarded by
most of them as of paramount im
portance. Congressman Simmons'
district is less ‘'covered" by railroads
than any in Nebraska. It has county
seats 25 miles or more from a rail
read. Other sections have facilities
but high rates. In many cases, nev
ertheless, the elevation or reduction
of rates is not of the importance as
the fact of the transportation itself.
Ai d railroad extension being a doubt
ful proposition, lines of good depend
able highways, permitting truck
transportation, cntei into considera
tion.
And all of these matteis Congress
man Simmons is studying diligently,
earnestly, at first hand.
It's a sort of a plain, in the broad
sense democratic, common sense—al
beit time taking and thorough—thing
to do' But it ought to equip Con
gressman Simmons efficiently to rep
resent his people and to be of the
greatest lioueible measure of serve*
I to them.

Tin- Tyranny of Juries
From th* K*r.**a Cltr Tim**.
It was Patrick Henry who s-i.d
' The judiciary are the sole protection
against the tyrannical execution of
the laws." Patrick Henry, among
other things, was thinking, no doubt,
of the possible harshness and severity
of Juries which, without the temper
ing effect of Judicial Instruction, might
result in th* heavy dealing out of
justice to the person charged with
crime or lawlessness.
But Patrick Henry could not have
foreseen the American Jury of today.
Had he < aught a vision of it he never
would have implied that it might tie
tyrannh al or even mildly severe m
its findings against th* enemies of
society.
In a letter lo the Star Judge John
L. Williamson of Kansas Cit> sets
down as first among the factors ac
counting’ for nourishing crime condi
tions here the work of "fool Juries "
Says Judge Williamson- ‘ When men
In a jury box have no more sense
than to acquit on fake insanity pleas,
false alibis bolstered up hv witnesses
drawn from the criminal classes or
because of an asinine sentimentalism
played upon by notoriously crooked
aliened lawyers then crime will flour
ish "
The tyrannical execution of the
laws? What judge today finds it
necessary to offer protection agftlnst
It, so far as Juried are concerned?
There Is a tyranny of the modern
Jury. But It is a tyranny against so
ciety. not tlie criminal or th« individ
ual on trial, it Is a tyranny that re
fuse* badly needed protection to so
ciety against the criminal element, a
tyranny that nullities the work of

courts and prosecuting officials in pre

that ignores and invalidates the c are
fully balanced counsel of the judiciary
itself.
If society, oblivious of Its own In
terests. bolsters up. in a “mawkish or
corrupt sentiment," the equally
mawkish decisions of the Jury, then
society, as Judge Williamson says,
must share the blame. But the Jury
is the responsible agent. It Is chosen
to act, definitely and directly. It can
not evade its duty or justify Its ac
tions on the basis of what somebody
else thinks, or what somebody else,
inc luding the criminal and his friends,
j may do.
Mouthers’ Pensions.
From the* Norfolk News.
All but six of our states now have
some sort of mothers' pension laws
The United Htates Department of
Dabor recently investigated the work
iiig of those laws in a number of rep
reselltatlve communities. It found
that from the large city to the rural
community the system is mending
broken homes, saving mothers from
the loss of their children and assur
ing tlie children a better chance In
life
Although the laws vary somewhat,
they are essentially similar. When
aid is given to a family of several
children, household budgets are care
fully worked out on a strictly eco
nomical basis. The pension then sup
plies the difference between the bud
get needs and the actual income. Un
fortunately in some states the amount
to be paid is restricted by law. In
some cases, therefore, the gap be
tween the budget and the income
cannot be fully met by the pension.
In spite of mistakes in administra
tion and blunders In the making of
the laws in the first place, a great
deal of good is being accomplished by
the mothers' pension. Careful inves
tigation prevents abuse of the system.
Its careful administration means hope
and health and opportunity to thou
sands of children.
A New f)a.v in Industry.
From Capper * Weekly
In a little shop on a side street an
old man labored for years making ax
handles out of seasoned hickory with
the draw shave, a chisel and sand
paper. He look great {tains to have
each handle weighed and balanced,
but no two were alike and the curve
must exactly tit the hand and con
firm to the grain of the wood. The
oid man worked from daylight to dark
10 make eight handles a week, for
which he received $1.50 apiece. To
day you can buy a better ax handle
made by machinery for a few cents.
They are all alike and everyone is
perfect.
The application of modern methods
to ax handles illustrates the develop
ment of the Ford plant with its out
standing achievement of lowest cost in
industry while paying highest wages.
The public gets the product at a low
price, the workman is exceptionally
well paid and Ford realizes profits
probebly not surpassed by any in
dustry.
Here s a group of significant facts.
American industry needs more Ford
ideas It is not living up to its op
portunities.
