Pending receipt of the text of the reply Premier Poincare is to send to London in response to the pointed note from Earl Curzon, British observers profess to find support for optimism in the speech the French lender delivered at Charleville on Sunday. >t is easy enough for Poincare to say instead of indulging in controversies, it would be far better for l>oth sides to seek a solution of the problems from which we can not escape.” What would be more to the point would be for him to show some disposition to see such a solution. So !ar, from the time he assumed the high office he holds, when Aristide Briand quit just before the Genoa conference, Poincare has exhibited little if any desire for a settlement on terms other than those ho has dictated. He has taken the ground that the Germans are deliberately ruining their industrial and social organization with only the object of de frauding France in view. Acting on this he has stead ily pushed Germany nearer and nearer to uttef chaos. Now it develops that he looks elsewhere for re lief. A suggestion was made from France last week that any diminution of the sum to be exacted from Germany must be compensated for by an equivalent remission of debt owed by France. While the United States is not specifically mentioned, the inference is not to be escaped that Poincare’s plan is to approach the government at Washington with an intimation at least that we pay some part of the French claims against the Germans. This ought to develop shortly, tor the French commission on debt adjustment is ex pected now at Washington. England has set a fair example for France, by not only providing for the payment of debts, but by c willingness to make the settlement by others as •■asy as possible. In asking for a re-examination of ihe German ability to pay, the English are giving heed to the fact that the French-Belgian occupation of the industrial districts of the Rhineland have shut ff Germany’s productive power to a degree that has reatly lowered ability to pay. In other words, Eng and recognizes, as does the world, that France has been quite as terrible in peace as ever Germany was n war. This situation can not last long. Admitting all that is said by the French premier s to the merit of his country’s claim for recogni lon, it is apparent to all that he has taken the . rong way to enforce his collection. France should >e the last to pursue such a course. The Poincare ■eply may afford basis for further discussion, but ome sort of action is needed, and not along any of he lines vaguely hinted at in the premier’s speech. I'he only practical solution in sight just now is some noderation in the French attitude. SAVE AMATEUR BASEBALL. A lesion can be remedied if the proper measures re taken in its treatment, but if not attended to may prove fatal. Such a condition exists in the Municipal Amateur Baseball Association of Omaha. Only the rigid enforcement of the rules which have kept it clean during the past can remedy the situa tion. Managers of the Metropolitan Class A league eek permission to allow players in that organiza ion to play out of town for remuneration during week days with the understanding that they play with their teams Sunday and retain their amateur tanding. The board of directors of the association does not agree with them, but the managers claim hat they can not hold together their teams unless this measure is adopted into the bylaws of the as sociation. The Municipal Amateur association has existed uccessfully and rts growth has surpassed that which he most optimistic organizer anticipated. In the oast it has clearly defined the difference between in amateur and a professional and has kept the ama teur baseball situation in Omaha clean and worthy of the support of its thousands of followers. To allow a player to go out of town for hire is to make him and the organization with which he is affiliated one of professional character. Once a player is good enough to receive money for his athletic serv ices he is too big for the amateur association and -hould be immediately barred. The Metropolitan managers seem to be taking their opinion as a( basis of law in spite of the fact • hat a rule of the association bars the measure. It is an open lesion and it must he closed quickly by the board if the sport from which thousands of Oma hans take pleasure is to be kept on the same basis which has made it a model of amateur baseball ex cellence in the middlewest. ONCE THE WORLD LAUGHED WITH HER. The name of Marie Wainright. does not hold much of significance to the theatergoers of the pres ent day. She belonged to another generation, for it has been many a season since her name was blaz oned at the head of a cast or in company with the really great of the world’s stage folk. Yet in her time none was daintier, or sweeter, or more capable of the full expression of every note in the gamut of : he theater. Essentially a light comedienne, she had I he faculty of seriousness to such a degree that she served as leading woman for Booth and Salvini, when they made their tour in 1888, and the woman who could play Desdemona for Salvini’s Othello nnd Booth’s lago had to he an actress. Personal recollection frames her in the costume of Viola, half girl, half boy, but wholly roguish and captivating, with a swagger and a smile not even •Julia Marlowe at her best surpassed. She was a I’arthenia, toil, of unsurpassed merit, and gave to a long list of lesser roles the sparkle of understand; mg youth that endeared her to all her public. It is many years since last she played in Omaha, offering one of the greatest roles, that of Viola in “Twelfth Night," at the Boyd theater. Poor health and advancing years forced her re tirement from the stage and a new day had pussed her by. Yet she deserved to be remembered, and will readily be recalled by those who had the pleas ure of watching her work in the heyday of her youth. Her death in obscurity serves hut to give em phasis to the tragedy of the actor’s art—momentary, u flash of genius, and then darkness, nnd the light come! up in a new place, and the old actor is forgot ici, in tns glamor of the new. Vet the annals of the American stage must give Marie Wainright a fuir place on a well illumined page, for she ‘ GRAFT. Coming from a former employe of the United States Department of Justice, the charge that public offices are honeycombed with dishonesty falls with more than ordinary force. How much of fact there is to support this charge should be discovered as soon as possible. Certainly there is opportunity and temptation to acquire wealth by misuse of public trust. Immense contracts are let by the various divisions of gov ernment. Millions of dollars are invested yearly in supplies of one kind or another, in road building, bridge building and other construction. Careless ness and perhaps unintentional dishonesty are likely to figure in these deals, chiefly through blundering by subordinates. In many cases the men chosen to office, whether by election or appointment, are not fitted for their position, either by training or by character. All credit then to the many fine men in public life. Where public officers have been corrupted by “commissions” from business firms, it can not be held that the moral standards of the' business men ore any higher than those of the political figures with whom they deal. The private citizen owes it as much to his country to deal fairly with it as does any officeholder. It is becoming apparent that corruption some times arises in the prohibition and the law en forcing branches. Not always by accident are men who have broken the law permitted to escape the punishment they deserve. Winking at the provisions of the statutes is all too prevalent, both in and out of office. The more complicated our government becomes, the easier it is for graft to wriggle in. The hope of the taxpayers is to hold down the number of public officers, to select them more carefully, and to get in enough honest men to expose those who are loose in the discharge of their duties. Upder Mr. Harding was begun a serious attempt to locate and punish a group of war grafters. This work is being prosecuted vigorously under the direc tion of Frank Reavis of Nebraska, who has brought a number of offenders to face trial on indictments, has secured the restitution of several millions of dol lars and the abandonment of unjust claims amount ing to almost $200,000,000. The Department of Justice is not altogether idle in this regard. LONG ISLAND TURNS TO SUGAR. In 1889, when the first sugar beets were har vested and hauled to the Oxnard mill at Grand Is land, Nebraskans felt something of the thrill that is now moving the land owners of Long island. The latter have not yet a sugar mill, but they have demonstrated that sugar beets can be grown on the sandy soil of the island, and are moving to establish the plant in which the sugar content may be ex tracted. Hal B. Fuller, director of agriculture for the Long Island Railroad company, is promoting the en terprise among the farmers of the region the rail road serves, and is meeting with what he considers encouraging success. A series of experiments ex tending over a period of 10 years has proved that the beets will grow there, and tests show the roots to be high in sugar content. In 1920 the experi mental plots produced an average of 28 tons to the acre, with a sugar content of 20.3 per cent and a purity of 91.7. This would mean more than two tons of refined sugar to the acre, which is a very high yield, and would indicate that the industry can be profitably established there. Yields secured in experiments are rarely carried out in practice, how ever, but as low as 12 per cent sugar content of 87 degrees purity has been found profitable. The American farmer, where conditions permit, is answering the sugar barons of Cuba and Java by raising his own and some to sell. Both cane and beet sugar production is spreading in the United States, but if the free traders have their way, the growing industry will be destroyed by foreign competition. When that time comes, Americans will pay whatever price the foreign producer sees fjt to put upon his output, and recent experience shows they will not undervalue it. H. L. Scaife says one of the troubles with the government is that men in high places do not dare tell the truth. Well, he is out of office now, sup pose he start by telling all he knows. “Little Italy's” new step in city government speaks well for the desire of the peaceable and or derly residents of that section of the community. Columbus is enjoying a building boom whose echoes are heard far outside the city limits. That is the sort of noise any community likes to hear. Omaha still is the world’s second greatest live stock market, according to the number of animals actually purchased at the yards here. New Rochelle is, you may recall, “forty-five min utes from Broadway,” and perhaps that is why they had to put blankets on the statuary. The man who lighted the match to find the leak in the gas pipe has given way to the man who lights his cigar in the garage. Mr. Coolidge ought to have an extra ear if he is to listen to all the advice discharged in his direction. That Omahti Yankton train will be filled to the limit if all go who are benefited by the new bridge. Helen Wills showed the world that tennis is also a school girl’s game. Why do married men always laugh when a bachelor holds a baby? No strike today? All right, let’s go.

And go, dreaming, down I lie antiquated trail Long before the rate question wai settled In the early months of 1890. the debate became rather warm. South Dako4a and Kanaaa as well felt the Pinch, anil suffered as did Nebraska, while certain of the eastern news papers, not understanding the true situation, took sides with the rail roads. Mr. Rosewater addressed him aelf to these In this fashion, on Sat urday. February 8. 1890. "IGNORANT EASTERN CRITICISM." "Eastern newspapers, as was to have been expected, do not regard with favor the effort of Nebraska farmers to obtain from the railroads such a reduction of rates as will enable them to market their corn without loss. It is perhaps natural that the attempt of the producers of the west to get some relief from the excessive charges of the railroads should excite eastern opposition. There is a widespread feeling in the east that the competition of tiie west is unfavorable to the agricultural in terests of that section, and whether well or ill-timed, it Is sufficient to array eastern Influence in hostility to any movement in the west involv ing the possibility, however remote, of increasing that competition. ' The vast benefits that have been secured to the consumer of the east from the agricultural development of the west are lost sight of, in the reflec tion that the farms of the former section nre not as profitable as they once were, and that this is due to the competition of the west. More over. eastern sympathy is largely on the side of the corporations, and there is nothing the people of that section regard as of greater reproach than 'grangerinm,' a term they apply to every effort of the people of the west to secure fair treatment from the railroads. “In the criticisms of the eastern press upon the appeal of Governor Thayer In behalf of the farmer that have come to our notice, there are both misrepresentations and ignor ance, It is stated, for example, that the governor has asked the roads to carry corn to market at the actual cost of transportation. He has done nothing of the sort. He has merely suggested that the roads could better afford to do this than that the corn should be allowed to rot. the destitu tion among the farmers to bo in creased, and all classes of business in the state suffer greater depres sion. This proposition is neither audacious nor senseless, as it is char acterized by eastern newspapers, un less it be assumid that the railroads have no concern in the welfare of the people and the business interests of Nebraska. Nor is the appeal for charity, as one paper interprets It, a call upon the stockholders of the roads ‘to put their hands in their pockets for the benefit of the farm ers of Nebraska.' It is simply a re quest for fair and Just consideration to a people who have given millions n bounties and bonuses to the rail roads, and who for years have paid the corporations an enormous tribute most unjustly exacted. The farmers of Nebraska are not in this matter legging for favors. They ore asking only for what they believe to he just, what they conceive to he not alone In their Interests, but for the benefit of all the people of the state, and what they are confident the railroads can well afford to grant. "It is evident that when the east ern newspapers assert the ratis are not unusually high, they are either ignorant of th- facts or guilty of a willful misstatement. The present rate on corn from almost every point in Nebraska is higher than the aver age rate of three and four years ago, to say nothing of the rebates that Ved • m i ornmen c law went into effect. Is there any good reason why the rail roads cannot afford to carry corn now at rates at least as low as pre vailed three and four years ago? In what respect is the cost of trans portation to the roads any greater now than then? Furthermore, what justification can he offered for charg ing 20 cents from the Missouri to Chicago, a distance of iiOO miles, when lie same corn is carried from Chi cago to New York, a distance by the shortest route of 900 miles, for 18 cents per hundred pounds? The sim ple truth Is that lri establishing rates on food products the western roads have been governed by the principle of exacting all that the traffic will hear, and their disposition is to ad here to this policy. The managers figure that sooner or later the pro ducers will murket their grain, what ever sacrifice they tnny have to stand, and they are determined to hold out for the pound of flesh. It Is quite possible that their greedy purposes may not he realized. Mean while. it Is to he hoped that the east ern press will get a more Intelligent and Juster conception of the nature of the situation." Firm Faith. "Doc. I have a had ankle."

There is hardly an outdoor gathering of men these days, be it a picnic or camping party, but horse shoe pitching is taken up as one of the amusements. The game is organ ized nationally, and it is an interna tional game also. indeed, it Is one of the oldest games in history. But in other countries it goes by other names. In some places it is quoits; in others it is called ‘throwing the discus.” But where ever found, whether in ancient Baby lon or among the American aborig ines. the game Is virtually the same. The discus is found among all archeo logical discoveries and appears next to arrow heads and pottery vessels in the relics of antiquity. When the Greek heroes fought at Troy they amused themselves by pitching the discus. When the 300 were waiting for the advance upon Thermopalae, they forgot about the certainty of death which was near by playing the game. A statue of throw ing the discus is one of the best ex amples of the art of ancient Greece. The game became "pitching of horse shoes” when horses were the means thru which the settlement of America and the taming of the wilderness were effected. The horseshoe was every where, and made the most satisfactory discus that had ever been devised, rho the automobile has come in to limit the usefulness of the horse, there somehow seem to be plenty of horse shoes left for playing the age long game. Perhaps in time the horse will go out completely, and' then the horseshoe will survive, not for use upon the animals that' formerly re quired it, but as a special manufacture to encircle the peg, and the game will be played, not by shoes found “cast” upon the roadway, but by a special manufacture on sale in the drug store. Can Anything Be Done About This? From the Aberdeen New*. Probably there is nothing that can he done about it, but the News feels that it would like to do something about the way so many of the women auto tourists dress. What is there that a mere man can say about this delicate subject? Nevertheless the urge is upon us and thoughts are to be uttered. Assuredly we will agree that It Is woman's privilege and man's duty to appear to best advantage at all times. It is a hard rule for a good many of us, but we'll say that there Is no .-pedal dispensation that permits the crowd that goes by auto to throw away all regard for appearance and greet the stranger along the route in garb that would frighten the folks back home. No one has a word to say sgalnst knickers for the ladies. They are comfortable, practical and sensible. They can be worn with much grace. They are the right thing in the right place. But is khaki the only ma terial for the women to wear? Can't someone interest the ladles who go aboard cars on long trips in another variety of cloth for panta and coat and shirtwaist? Presumably it Is urged as an auto costume on tiie theory that It won’t show the dirt, but by tMe time the average khaki-clad wayfarer, man or woman, could find in their range of looks like the salesman had been un truthful. There isn't anything that won’t show the dirt, and nothing looks more sad than some of these khaki outfits when they do. Surely there must be something else the women could find in the range of devising that would not look like khaki when it does or when it doesn't show the dirt. Nebraska's Hymn. From the York Republican. A hymn of swelling cadence is ris ing from the fields of Nebraska. It is a pean of praise and plenty. Tli« skies have refreshed the earth with copious rains. Today the earth is wet with moisture, the fields are green with their promise of bounteous har vests of corn and hay and pasture. The people should rejoice. In same places of the earth there is famine and want. There are places where a king's ransom cannot buy a loaf of bread. People are perishing for the things with which Nebraska Is now so plentifully supplied. And yet there is fear and distress | among the people of this state. They | have resolved blessings Into terms of j money and interest and dividends. It i« the fault of a commercial age ; The gifts of a loving providence are I unseen or forgotten In a cheap phile ophy of values w hich men lmvo made. The Pilgrims because of such a harvest as we have In Nebraska In stituted the first Thanksgiving, slid rejoiced. Our people look at the spread-out gifts of the creator and complain because there Is not more or Its commercial value Is not greater. That is the natural result of a busi ness spirit that has taught us to think of benefits In sordid terms of money. Rut wouldn't it tie tine if today In stead of loading the present and fu ture with fear and misgivings the people would rejoice over what prov idence has already vouchsafed? We are old fash lone,! enough to think that no Individual or people will truly prosper so long as present benefits are unappreciated and the cry of men is just for more. The Next (treat Invention.

Why It Is “Reorganized.” Council Bluffs, la.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: I note what appears under the authorship of Arthur Brisbane in the evening edi tion of August 13. and note that it also appears in the morning edition of August 14. relating to the death and burial of "Mr. and Mrs. Bath,” and in answer to prayer that they should not be separated in life or death, they were buried after "a double funeral in the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter IJay Saints in Scammon, Kan.” Following this appears some ques tions, whether asked to express skep ticism of the faith of these two or the church of which they appear to have believed in sufficiently to be buried under its rites, or of the faith of those who believe in a prayer an swering God I do not know, but will answer the question for the benefit of the readers of your valuable paper. 1. “By whom, how and why were the Latter Day Saints Reorganized?” "Why reorganize the Latter Day Saints?" Both will be answered under one head. The Church of Jesus Christ organ ized in these latter days composed of Latter Day Saints, or saints in these latter days, was organized by the command of God April 6. 1830, by Joseph Smith and five others who had been baptized by instruction of and authority from God through an angel, who appeared to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery, May 15, 1839. and commanded them by the authority that God had sent him to confer upon them to baptize each other, and then go and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and baptize those who had faith in it, and manifested that they desired to lead a Christ-like life, and to be baptized. They did as com manded, and several were baptized, and six of these on the date of or ganization above mentioned, met and as they were commanded of God to do organized the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This ehurch preached hut the one faith, including belief in God the Father and Creator, and in Jesus Christ, His Son, and in the Holy Ghost. A belief that Jesus Christ was horn of the Holy Ghost, and not by the will of man. Mary lielng his mother, A belief that God made but one helpmeet for man, and they twain, or they two, became one flesh, and that any other relationship in marriage than one man and one woman is con demned in God, A belief that through the atoning hiofsi of Christ all men were redeemed from the sin of Adam, and thus was brought about the resurrection of the dead and that through Jesus Christ all will be forgiven their individual sins, when repentant and obedient to the requirements of the gospel law as taught in New Testament times. A belief that a man to keep the law of God had no need to break the law of the land. A belief that the law of tithing re quired the payment of tithing, which consisted of one-tenth of the annual Interest, and not one-tenth of all a man made. The above faith the Re organized Church teaches. It was because some of the officials of the church in 184fi and 1847 began to make definite changes, and to advo cate principles directly opposite to or out of harmony with the above prin ciple and others that had been preached and practiced up to the death of Joseph and JJyrum Smith at Cartilage, III., in 1844 that there was a necessity of the reorganization of the church, and it was done by those who would net follow Brigham Young and those who ivocated prin ciples contrary to t it taught from 3830 to 1844, •’'* ‘ '-111 authority represent the church. Tbit done in 18.12 to 1Rt". w hen the son of Joseph Smith, then living at Nauvoo, III., was chosen and ordained to oc cupy as the president of the church, who believed in the same principles upon which the church was organ ized and opposed the evils and errors introduced by Brigham Young and his associates. Listen to the decision of the United States courts, through which means these questions have been answered historically and authoritatively. Judge L. 8. Sherman, in the court of common pleas. Lake county. Ohio, February 23. lSSrt, thus decided: "That the said plaintiff, the Reor ganized Churc h of Jesus Christ of Iaitter Hay Saints, is a religious so ciety, founded and organized upon the same doctrines and tenets, ami having the same church organization as the original Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, organ ized in 1830 by Joseph Smith, and was organized pursuant to the con stitution, laws and usages of said original church and has branches lo cated in Illinois, Ohio and other states. "That the church in Utah, the de fendant, of which John Taylor is president, lias materially and largely departed from the faith, doctrines, laws, ordinances and usages of said original Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and has incor porated into its system of faith the doctrine of celestial marriage, and a plurality of wives, and the doctrine of Adam-Ood worship, contrary to the laws and constitution of said original church. < "And the court do further find that the plaintiff, tiie Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, is the true and lawful continuation of and successor to the said original Church of Jesus Christ of letter Day Saints, organized in 1830, and is en titled by law to all its rights and property.” This case being tried was as to whether the defendant or plaintiff were legal possessors of the temple at Kirtland, O, which, property is now held l>y the Reorganized Church. Judge John F. Phillips of the United States circuit court, in his decision in the temple lot case at Independence, Mo., agreed with Judge Sherman, as above quoted. His de cision was given in 1894. The church needed reorganization because of evils and error that had entered the preaching by some who were its chief representatives, but who had departed from the faith and organized another church in 1847 in "Winter Quarters, Nebraska,” not far from where Omaha now is. Sufilcient has been said to answer the importance of the thought con tained in the questions. With great respect for the truth of history, I am, J. F. MINTON, l-eave It to You. Omaha—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: How in the name of the j seven loaves and seven lisheg and thoi seven cantering asses, can you edi tors, statesmen and spokesmen ex plain your refusal, and monkey busi ness actions, and criminal protecting policy of covering up the biggest con spiracy every known in the United States? The Federal Reserve system, premeditated, timed, planned destruc tion of agriculture and labor— legitimate busintss. President Hard ing and Senator Capper, at Hutchin son, Kan., confessed the truth just as Abe Martin Have you ever noticed how in eeniouslv a woman kin worm in formation out of a little neighbor hood child? “I didn’ miss th’ blamed thine fer over a week.” said a feller that called at th’ oust office t’dav t’ identify a bass drum he’d lost. (Copyright, 1923.) I have been trying, urging, hoping some punishment might be dealt out to the bankers. What interest can farmers and other vict.ms take in editorials and speeches from men who shield the conspirators that wrecked the farmer and the coun try. by a carefully laid plot of the international hankers, and the Federal Reserve system? Crocodile tears for the farmers is cheap music. What the people want to know is what is go ing to be done with the criminals that wrecked the farmers and the country. Everybody knows the re sult. So pray tell what punishment for the banking interests. T. 8 FEXLOV. HAVE The Omaha Morning Bee or The Evening Bee mailed to you when on your vacation.
