The pretense of sweet sincerity and abounding sentiment that is created by the queens of the movies is cracked by Mary Miles Minter. Heroine of hun dreds of romantic dramas, veteran of thousands of - heart-touching episodes of youthful affection, self sacrifice and mother love, yet in spite of all this sweetness on the screen, in real life she has shown about the same degree of saccharine as a green per simmon. It never ceases to puzzle how one of the lovely , young women of the screen can be so full of beauti ful emotions in the pictures, and yet show herself utterly without regard for some of the basic in stincts of wholesome human nature. Yet as the mother of Mary Miles Minter lies dying, this 21-year old actress delays going to her bedside. The world does not know what kind of mother this one has been. It is enough to know that she loves her daugh ter, and desires her to be the same fine character ’2 that she simulates on the screen. The old mother calls for her Mary, and Mary, ’ with a chauffeur and limousine at her call, says she really thinks she may run over some time to see ," her. But she hasn’t yet. .What a tawdry, shabby thing is the life of a daughter who thus disowns and neglects her mother in her hour of need. It. matters not what the rights and wrongs of their previous estrangement may have been, one^gpark of true feeling would burn the bar-» riers away. Those who have delighted in the film dramas of Miss Minter will be more shocked than others at this revelation. One grows attached to the beauty, sweetness and winning ways of the heroines of the pictures. The power of illusion is such that not only does one wish that they are indeed as pure and fine as they appear, but one also believes that it is so. Moving pictures may be compared to a school, and just as no parent would desire that his children be taught by a woman who is not fitted to inspire by example as well as precept, so it is that the feel ’ • ing grows that there must be^broad qualifications » for real moving picture folk. In this case humanity is mocked and decent feeling is only a shadow. WHO SHALL LEAD THE DONKEY? Ashton C. Shallenbergef is not given to flying kites in a political sense. At least his record has been that when he said anything he meant it. 2 \ssuming that this is still true, acknowledge ‘ ment of fealty and devotion to Hcjiry Ford as a presidential candidate will have to be taken as sin 2 cere. That opens for discussion the question as to what the embattled democrats of Nebraska will do between now and next spring, when the primary • clectiofi to choose delegates to the national conven > tion is held. William Jennings Bryan has so far contented himself with saying to whom he is opposed. That comprises a formidable lot of names that are dear to democrats, and may afford a basis for a process of elimination. So far as is known, that of Henry Ford has not yet met either favor or disfavor from ' the Great Commoner, and so that’s that. Oscar Underwood has some friends and admirers among the democrats of Nebraska, and now and then a voice is raised in behalf of A1 Black. .The friendship between Mayor Dahlman and William Gibbs McAdoo is of long standing and sincere, and so on through the roll call one may find supporters of nearly all the eminent statesmen who have or may shy their hats into the ring near the donkey’s ‘ heels. Does Congressman Shallenberger look ahead to a reformation of the party machine in Nebraska, with himself occupying the seat at the wheel, heretofore fought for by Bryan and Hitchcock? Such a thing • might come to pass, and a new deal take place. Men worship the rising, not the setting sun, and Shallqn berger is above the horizon on the east just now. HYMEN AS A BOOTLEGGER. When the eugenists were down at Lincoln last winter, tinkering up the marriage license laws, they did not give much thought to what sort of a monkey * wrench they were tossing into “Cupid” Stubben dorf’s infant industry. Not such an infant, either, for it had been going on right here in Douglas country for nigh onto the three score years and ten set for the average man’s life. You wanted to get married, and a girl was willing; you went to the court house, got a license, hunted up some one au thorized to pronounce the ceremony, and the deed was done. That was in the good old days, before August 1. Now, you do something else. You first post ten days in advance of the happy event the public notice re quired by law of your intention to get married, to gether with a certain intimate personal information concerning yourself and the girl who has agreed to take a chance with you through' life. If no objec tions are raised, you proceed as before. The effect . of this law is noticeable in the number of addi .. tional fares on the street cars that cross the bridge 1 to Council Bluffs. Over there the old-time practice still prevails, and » getting married is not complicated with any regula i tions such as bother young folks in Nebraska. Con ’ sequently, the stream of applicants that used to flow through the doors of the Douglas county house has . been deflected, and now surges around the portals * of the temple of justice in Pottawattamie county. It is a natural consequence, for candidates for matri ; mony do not want to be bothered with too much pub licity about matters they arc inclined to think arc s personal to themselves. The law may work good in time, but just now the people most affected by it arc lighting shy of its provisions. F airbury has just let a contract for a high school to cost $130,000, showing that Nebraska is still i ooking after the interests of posterity. Chicago is also sending speeders to jail. Hope the authorities have better luck holding them than they do with murderers. Monday the 13th will be the pventful day in con nection with the wheat rate, and it will not be un- ‘ lucky for anybody. Senator Capper fays the west is back <rf Presi dent Coolidgc,’ and the west will say amen to that. ASSISTANTS TO THE PRESIDENT. Warren G. Harding is at rest; he belongs to the country he served so faithfully and well. Americans who followed a well loved chieftain to his tomb now turn back to the affairs of the living. Calvin Coolidge becomes the center of our national life, and the government will go on. Already gossip is making changes in the cabinet, marking out lines of policy for the administration, speculating and forecasting just as they always have. Mr. Coolidge last week asked all the Harding cabinet to remain, but a precedent long established will lead them to tender their resignations. One of these will probably be accepted, for Attorney General Daugherty's health was such that his retirement from the cabinet was looked for some weeks ago. Harding policies were sufficiently outlined to be definite in all ways, and as vice president Mr. Cool idge loyally supported his chief; as president he may feel free to assert some of his own views, and if. it so happens that any should run counter to those of the late president, the policy will be pursued, for Mr. Coolidge has as much courage as any man who ever acted as executive. Senator Capper told the president that the west does not want any special session of congress, and that sentiment in this section will be back of the ex ecutive. We believe this is true, and that it fairly represents the sober thought of people out this way. They do not want any somersaults in Washington just now. While the general topic of "an assistant to the president, or some other plan for lightening his bur dens, is being discussed, one occurs to us, which is offered for what it is worth. It is a simple one, and might work well, if tried. Let each American citi zen appoint himself an assistant president, and go about the discharge of his self-appointed duties in a common sense way. This will include the leaving out of his daily routine all uncalled for criticism of the executive, and taking on a deeper sense of per sonal responsibility. Many things arc now referred to Washington that might be settled at home; many hours of the president’s life arc spent in listening to complaints that ought never to be made, at least not’ to him; in interviews that have but idle curiosity or a pardonable desire to meet the president for a basis, and in other ways of similar nature. If only these things were omitted, the care and worry of the man in the White House would be greatly lessened, and he would have more unipterrupted time to give attention to the great and important duties of his office. Just now, the president should have 110,000, 000 assistants. THREE MINUTES OF SILENCE. Throughout the west today something will be missed. Perhaps it may not be noted, for the people at the time will all have their thoughts turned to the scene that is being enacted in a little country churchyard back in Ohio. There a hushed, silent group will stand around in reverent mien, while the minister speaks the words that consign to its eternal rest the worn-out prison house of a noble soul. That hush will extend throughout the land, radiating from every nook and corner, the smallest hamlet and the largest city feeling its spell. And, while the people are thus occupied, each with his own thoughts, the great whirring wheels of industry will cease to hum, the clanging roaring line of trans portation will cease te roar, and for a space the quiet that will brood over all the land will show the awe that everyone feels. Three minutes is not a very long time, but that silence in the aggregate means more than the life time of many men, and it is a tribute such as can only be paid by a great nation to one whose name and memory it honors. Our general farewell to War ren Harding is fitting. WHY WORRY OVER UNCERTAINTIES? Now they are hanging crape over the vacation. Dr. George T. Palmer, research director of the Amer ican Child Health association of New York, enumer ates the number of different mishaps that may be fall an unwary person just when he thinks he is en joying himself most, Chigger bites, snake bites, drowning, accidents of various kinds, ptomaine poisoning, typhoid fever and the like figure in the list until one wonders why anybody ever comes home alive from a summer outing. Then we think of the number of different ways in which people may come to grief when they are not on vacation, and conclude that it is about fifty-fifty on chances. The soldier’s litany is still a good one—" you have two chances always.” Cal Coolidge is startling Washington by his no tion of working hours. He starts his day at 5:30 a. m., which is pretty early anywhere around the monu ment. ' A flying boat has just hopped over the water at the rate of 177.B miles per hour. That woulld be a good thing for the rum fleet chasers to have handy. French courts hold that the Ruhr is “enemy ter ritory.” Some one ought to send them word of what happened in Novemher, 1918. Trial night flights for the air mail are to start on August 21, so we may soon expect to see the service in regular schedule. People in Tokyo are going to give Jane Addams a reception. If they gave her her dues, they would make her ruler of the empire. It might be well to look over the statute books and find out if we have not a lot of good laws that we are not using. California and Colorado are also turning into the wheat buying parade with cordial Support. The idea is going over big. It seems that the many-cylindered motor is not the only "gas hog.” ".No empty seats in sutos” served well for the day. Homespun Verse —By Omaha's Own Poet— Robert Worthington Davit VALUATION.

The Interstate Com- j merce commission undertook to pro vide some relief through an order for a reduction. This was discussed by Mr. Rosewater on August 23, 1890, in this way: “THEY WILL NOT FIGHT.” “If the report is correct that the presidents of the western roads have decided that they will not light the order of the Interstate Commerce commission reducing rates on grain after September 1, their action is wise and commendable. It is hardly pos sible that they could meet anything but defeat in a contest with the com mission, as the attorneys for the Union Pacific and Rock Island were able to convince the managers of those corporations, who from the first were inclined to be parties to tlte pro posted fight, and it is easy to see that defeat would put the roads in a posi tion where they would be far less likely to fret attention to their com plaints than they will be if they sub mit in good faith to the order of the commission. "The soundness of the counsel of Chairman Cooley to the representa tives of the roads who presented to him a petition for a rehearing ought to be apparent to all the railroad managers interested in this matter. He is reported to have said: ‘Put the rates into effect September I. as or dered by the commission, and then come to us with any complaint, and if they are just we will see that they are removed.' Having had a full and fair opportunity to present their vase and done so. and the commission after thorough and capable deliberation having decided upon its course, the railroad managers opght to realize that they are presuming far too much upon the consideration due them in asking the commission to now recede from its order and thereby practically acknowledge that its action was a mis take. There has been no change in the conditions einoe the order for a reduction of rates was made by w hich the abandonment of the order could be justified, and so far as can be in ferred from the telegraphic statement of the points in the petition for a re gearing, the railroads have no new facts or arguments of so important or material a nature as to warrant the commission in receding from its de liberate judgment that the rates that have been ordered reduced are exces sive and unreasonable. The only new point In the petition worthy of con sideration and which may hereafter be taker into account by the com mission , Is the fact that th<* reduced crops of this year will lessen the revenue of the roads, but the crops will probably not be less than in other years when the rates were below what they are at present, and besides the relative reduction in revenue from this cause will undoubtedly be offset by a reduction of expenses, and this would take place if the existing rates were maintained to the extent which the demand on the transporta tion facilities of the roads should be reduced In consequence of short cropa. “The dispatches intimate that there is a secret understanding between all the roads except the Union Pacific. Rock Island and Alton, that they will refuse to put the order of the com mission into effect, but this Is at least highly improbable. Such a course would be far more damaging to fho roads than an open declaration of war ngalnst the authority of the com mission We prefer to think that the practical men at the head of the west ern roads will act in accordance with the eminently sound and really friend ly advice of Chairman Cooley."

Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: "I am not going to break down.” These brief words fully typify Mrs. Warren G. Hard ing. Death paid her loved one a visit like a thief in the night. Death robbed her of everything she held dear, but Mrs. Harding, the first lady of the land, thoroughbred, through and through, refused to whimper. The most efficient physicians and nurses, the constant attendance and loving care of his wife could not stay the hand of death. It has been said that Mrs. Harding was the "power behind the throne," pushing and aiding Warren G. Hard ing over the rough places until he reached the pinnacle of his and of her ambition. Mrs. Harding has our deepest sym pathy for the terrible ordeal she has gone through, but, more than that, she has our ardent admiration and sincere gratitude for her unselfish characterization of American woman hood. Noted men and women will now sing the praises of President Harding —he is dead—but let this tribute be paid to Mrs. Harding while she Is living: You made good, and we are proud of you. Mrs. Harding. MARGARET BECKER. Information from Headquarters. Omaha—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: The Interview appear ing in last Sunday morning's edition of The Bee, purporting to come from an employe of the county assessor's office might have been all right if the facts contained therein were true, hut as it was the "story" was ridiculous. In the first place, the "county offi cial" who heard the "song" 200 times a day that taxes were too high, as ro tated by a reporter of The Bee. Is a clerk in my office and not a deputy county assessor. The story made it appear that my office is some sort of a "walling place.” when, in truth this self-styled "official kick receiver” don't hear 200 complaints in a year, instead of 200 a day as he was quoted as saying. The only person qualified to give reliable Information from my office is the county assessor himself and while he is not adverse to allowing a clerk in his department the privilege of satisfying an ambition to have the public make his acquaintance by at taching his name to a “story," still, the truth must be told and In such a way ss will leave no reflection upon the office itself. H. G. COUNSMAN, County Assessor. The Commonwealth The I-ast Resort. Omaha—To the Editor of The Qniaha Itee; The action of the com monwealth of South Dakota in kick ing tho first hole into this gasoline monopoly, that has taken more dollars out of the property owners’ pockets than all of the bank wreckers, will put a temporary quietus upon this journalistic fusillade that has been ringing in our ears—"too many laws." South Dakota is evidently going to borrow Senator Howell's phrase '‘tak ing up the slack." The present market on gasoline and wheat is rewriting the law of eco nomics for those who pin their ail on the supply and demand theory. The oil monopoly which does not hesitate to talk turkey to Mexico, Russia and all of the other powerful national divisions has a wholesale respect for one of the state units of our great commonwealth, especially since Minnesota sent up that Magnus John son war whoop. W. H. GREEN. Getting Things Straight. Omaha—To the Editor of The Omaha Roe; Gosh all Friday! What's the matter over in Europe. Some thing must tie very attractive over there; steamboats are loaded down with politicians, senator*, congress men and other political comedians. '\e even note In the daily press that W. H. Green, a former democrat, then a progivesn.-. and la,If r.; and now a fnrmer-Iaborlte has the fever simw he went down to Chicago, and located "something tangible'' by being made vice president of the farmer labor crowd, and since his re. turn lias been attacking big business, that Is the big insurance companies Rut what seems a mystery to the real farmers and Inlioring men is that In order for ptilitical,mechanics to see Europe, they all seem to get their sailing orders from the lower end of Wall .street. We presume that is where they get the orders as to what to look for and where It Is located In Europe The political "fixers" down on \\ all street generally know where to find everything even in Eu rope. Rut why la It that Mr. W. H. Green must go to Russia to see Genlne and Trotsky, the two former New \ ork taikirs, and other long whiskered bolsheviks, in order to learn about the fanner's condition in those countries We can’t se^ where that Is going to help the American farmer to get a letter price for his S cent hogs and his SO cent wheat, or his IS-cent eggs, and we re not going to fall for any Wall street farmer labor party hunk, and if Mr Green is going on the farmers' account ha had better stay at home and save hi* time and trouble.

From tho Ogdon Standard - Examiner. Much thought Is being given to the depressed condition of farming In tho United States and extraordinary ef forts are being made to help the raisers of wheat who are the greatest sufferers of low prices. . Omaha citizens are leading in pro posals seeking a form of relief and they have made an appeal to the rail roads to reduce the export rates on wheat and flour 25 per cent. The movement should find support in Ogden, the grain center of this region. In asking for emergency rates, the Omaha business men make this declaration: "The railroads are requested through the association of railroad executives and tho presidents of the individual western lines, to publish im mediately, upon short notlce^with the consent of the Interstate Commerce commission, emergency all-rail rates on wheat and flour shipped from all points in the United States, includ ing all grain on hand in elevators or at storage points, to the Atlantic, gulf and Pacific ports for export on the basis of 75 per cent of the rates now in effect; these emergency rates to ex pire January 30. 1924; that the grain shipped on these emergency rates be allowed only one intermediate stop at transit or proportional rate break ing points except that one additional stop may be made for milling pur poses; and that storage at transit, milling or rate-breaking point and also at elevator at seaport be limited to 30 days.” This reduction would help to equalize the difference between rail and water transportation to points of export and bring some degree of relief to wheat growers in the interior. This would be one way of quieting the widespread demand for general re duction in freight rates on farm prod ucts and. therefore have a strong in fluence in persuading the railroad officials to accept. Praise Omaha Wheat Plan. From the Ravenna News, The Omaha Chamber of Commerce la heading a movement to create an immediate demand for millions of bushels of wheat throughout the United States, tho object being to stimulate the wheat market and Most the price of one of the chief products of American agriculture. "Buy a thousand bushels of wheat, or a bar rel or bag of flour,” is the slogan under which the movement will be initiated by the Chamber of Coni merce and business organizations of all kinds throughout the entire United Slates. There are two legitimate ways to relieve this situation—one is to hold wheat out of the market, the other is to increase the demand for actual consumption. The buying of wheat and flour for present or future con sumption lif the preferred solution of the problem. By that method the de mand is increased. Existing rates of exchange closes foreign markets for our surplus, and we must reiy chiefly upon our home markets. It is be lieved that in 30 days our own people can work out a peaceful revolution in the price of any commodity. All that is necessary is an aroused public sen timent and intelligent co-operation. The plan developed by the Omaha Chamber of Commerce assumes that we cannot all buy a thousand bushels of wheat, but we can buy a barrel or a bag of flour, and we can do it now- In every home and hamlet in the land there Is a potential purchas-, ing power, which should be exercised without delay. Chambers of Com merce throughout the country sre exported to make an active effort to relieve the situation. The appeal to the public will be pressed to the limit. Massa*luisetts Show* Way. From the Vmn*apolis Journal. Massachusetts Is reducing the num ber of its automobile accidents. In 1919; so Engineering and Contracting tails us. Sixteen thousand two hundred and eighty seven persons were injured.* In 1920 the number had risen to 21.1*2. Then began the campaign for safety, backed by the authorities.

Country life has become hectic, which may be much more stimulating for those whose lot is cast in the country In the whole year. Yet it is a question whether the vacationist gets what he really needs from his vacation. He is likely to return to his city Job with a feeling that he wants a rest. Modern inventions have an abhor renee for vacuums. They seek to fill up every minute of everybody’s time.

Want Lower Rates. l^rom the York News-Time*. The Omaha "buy wheat and flour" committee wants the railroads to re duce freight on wheat 25 per cent during the emergency. The reason for the request is well founded. But the reduction ought to be made permanent. The roads are likely to refer the committee to the Interstate Commerce commission and that body likely will refuse to do any thing at least until it is too late. It is alleged the grain growers of Canada and Argentina enjoy a much lower rate to the seaboard than the growers of the United States. This makes a great difference when it comes to marketing wheat and some thing should be done to make the rates to the seaboard in the United ■States the same, or nearly the same, as the rates charged in Argentina and Canada.
