WE HAVE OBLIGATIONS, ALSO.
Among the many other reasons for setting apart
the current week as devoted especially to the Con
stitution of the United States of America, the best
one, perhaps, is to remind a lot of our fellow country
men that there is such a document, and that it does
not consiit wholly and entirely of the Eighteenth
amendment.
All of the great students of the world have ex
pressed admiration for the written Constitution of
the United States, praising it highly, and even de
claring it the greatest instrument ever devised by
man for the protection of high privileges and price
less liberties. Too much is said about the constitu
tion as an instrument of government. It first of
all protects, for that was and is the design of our
government; it. does not seek to repress, restrict, or
restrain the proper exercise of the liberty of any,
but really does secure that priceless boon to all. This
will sound strange to some, but it is true.
Usually complaints against the constitution come
from those who find that it protects the liberty of
rather than of a chosen few. Sometimes this
is awkward, bears down a little bit hard on those
who are looking for an advantage, but where the
field is open to all, with equal opportunity, and no
special favors for any, the race Will be run on
terms controlled by natural, rather than artificial
conditions.
Our constitution, and the laws that are made
under it, protect the weak and hold back the strong;
the poor man is as secure in his humble home as
the rich is in his mansion, because all are equal be
fore the law. If injustice, oppression, wrong, or
violence exist to harm any, the fault is not with the
constitution. What one man does under it any may
do, what is forbidden to one is forbidden to all. That
it has been amended 19 times is proof of the prog
ress of a self-governing people, capable of meet
ing and solving new problems, rather than of de
ficiencies in the document that embodies the funda
mental law.
In the United States we have a government of
law, not of men, and the people make the law, con
trol the courts and every functionary thereof, so
that in the end any defect is curable whenever the
sentiment of the voters moves for a change. In
observing Constitution week, we suggest that more
be made of the spirit and less of the letter; that
our citizens look just a little more closely to their
obligations and not so much at their rights, and good
will come to everybody as a result.
BEES DO A BURBANK STUNT.
“There are more things in heaven and earth,
Horatio, than are dreamt of in thy philosophy,”
quoth Hamlet to his bosom friend when the latter
expressed wonderment at some incident. What
would he say if he were with us today, and had a
few of the modern marvels to ponder upon.
Not content with what the wjzards of electricity
aVe doing to annihilate both time and distance, or
the achievements of other magicians who are mystify
ing as well as serving humanity, the bees have taken
it up. In fact, according to the veracious press
reports, up in Ontario a group of honey bees have
out-Burbanked Burbank himself, and set tomatoes
to growing on potato vines. This is indeed the
double purpose vine, as waS noted in our columns
some weeks ago.
We hesitate to think just what will happen when
those very useful bees have attained the full mea
sure of their power. The Arkansas man who crossed
his swarms with fireflies, so they could put on a
night sffift, was forward looking in his day, but his
best achievement is poor when set alongside that of
the Ontario man who has profited by the voluntary
act of his honey makers.
Some naturalists still insist that the bee is a poor
fish, in that he goes on accumulating long after he
has provided sufficient food for the queen and the
drones, end the workers and the youngsters, and
heaps his hive with honeycomb the contents of
which he never can enjoy. It is his instinct to work,
and he knows nothing else. We prefer to look ahead
and try to vision the time Steinmetz talks about,
when four hours a week will be all the productive
time man will need to spend. Yes, we are as lazy
as anybody else who harbors similar dreams.
KANSAS AND COSMETICS.
What’s the matter with Kansas? Old Bill Allen
White may well repeat his famous question, for
we flnd.in the New York World, among others listed
as attending a beautifior’s convention, the Kansas
Beauty Specialists Association, Wichita. Gosh, what
would Jerry Simpson say if he could hear that?
Beauty specialists, thriving in Kansas, and at Wichita.
Some fellow who is trying to start something inter
ject right here that if they are needed anywhere in
Kansas it will be at Wichita, but we scorn such an
imputation.
Kansas always lias, we admit, taken second place
to Nebraska in the matter of girls, but as Nebraska
leads the world, the Jawhakers are in a comfort
able position. Oklahoma, Utah, Wisconsin, Missouri,
Illinois and Indiana also are represented in the list,
among them being a considerable group of “cosmet
icians," if you know what that means. 'Ihe conven
tion solemnly decided that bobbed hair is here to
stay. Any girl ,who had hers cut could have told
that, without journeying all the way to New \ork.
\s a relief, the delegates have decided to offer very
beautiful glass “hair," in shades to match the cos
tume, so that any girl can present a perfect harmony,
a veritable symphony in color, when Bhe dolls up for
a night at the ball or elsewhere.
Hold on, not so fast. Unless the color be rod. it
may not be altogether harmonious. The girls having
exhausted pll the available area of their cheeks as a
place to put rouge, ears are to come out from the
retirement they have bee n forced into for many
winters, and will be neatly and completely reddened.
Time was when Jack Frost and the fresh air used to
attend to these matters, but now it has fallen to the
lot of the cosmeticir.n. /
Still, that does not answer the question ns to how
Kansas lias fallen from its one-- high estate. Wichita,
however, is right in line with Paris, though, when it
conies to being up to date.
REPRESENTATION FOR VOTERS ONLY.
A tentative apportionment for the delegations to
the next republican convention indicates a renewal
of a discussion that has been heard off and on for a
great many years. Chiefly, the debate turns on rep
resentation of states whose electoral vote is assured
in advance to the democratic nominee. It has long
been an open question as to whether such states
should have a voice in the republican convention
equal to that of states in which the party must con
test for the success of its candidates.
As matters stand now, and have existed for many
years, 10 states, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Caro
lina, Texas and Virginia, with an electoral vote of
114 are certain to support the democratic candidate,
no matter whom. With 631 votes in the electoral
college, this means the democrats have to strive for
only 152 to secure a majority, while the republicans
must go after 266, and these all in highly competitive
sections of the country.
The same condition applies to congress; the
democrats lead off with solid delegations from the
10 states, or 94 representatives and 20 senators, a
tremendous handicap. Republicans have met this
for many years, carrying on with such energy that
the democrats with their solid bloc of 10 states
usually are defeated. Yet in the republican con
ventions delegates come from these states, and fre
quently contested delegations, who really represent
factions rather than an organized republican party.
Yet the new apportionment only reduces the
voting strength from these 10 states by 24 in the
aggregate, so that no real charge of disfranchise
ment can stand. Districts that, do not maintain a
republican organization and turn in at least 2,500
republican votes, are omitted from the list. If the
plan goes through, it should have the effect of stimu
lating the party in the southern states to more of
activify. Until the lethargy that now pervades the
republicans of that region is broken, and more of
zeal is shown in support of national policies and
tickets, the sham of representing party voters where
there are none should be omitted.
THEY DO NOT KNOW THE ARMY.
None of our business, but we can see where the
Lincoln Council of Social Agencies, which is the
name for the community chest down there, has let
itself in for a pleasant time. It has excluded the
Salvation Army from the benefits of the chest fund.
Reason for this action, as given by the council is:
"It was felt that there was no social work as done
by the Salvation Army that Is not already ade
quately covered by other already existing agencies
In the city and that It would be a duplication of
philanthropic effort if the Salvation Array were to
become established in I.lncoln."
Unless the “Sallies” are different now, we feel
certain they will not abate in any degree their
efforts to save. William Booth gave over a com
fortable position as a minister of the gospel in order
to take up the work that was neglected by the or
ganized churches. With an understanding of the
problem little short of inspiration, he carried his
slogan of “Soup, Soap and Salvation,” into the dark
est slums of London. He sought the lowest of the
low. Another motto of the army is, “A man
may be down, but he is never out.”
No obstacle thinkable but was surmounted by
the Salvation Army workers. They thrive on op
position, and adversity is their favorite dish. Folks
down at Lincoln will discover this. Recognition of
the religious activities of the army amounts to
nothing; its religion is a big thing, but it comes last
with the real Salvationist. He feeds, then he washes,
then he saves if possible. And always the army has
found a way to meet its need for money, regardless
of what others are doing.
“Back to the Constitution” sounds all right, but
the trouble just now is that most of the kickers
never caught up with, much less got ahead of, that
venerable document.
Our democratic brethren are worrying for fear
the republicans will nominate Cal Coolidge for presi
dent next yeat. They have no trouble in their own
camp, you know.
A New York bank praises Nebraska’s indus

Frederick the Great said he kept ministers to

Wise Farmer*.
From the Norfolk New*.
Farmers and farm organizations in
New York state are out for better
rural school facilities. There is al
ready before the state legislature a
bill the provisions of which would
give children living in remote dis
tricts equal opportunities for adequate
education with those living in more
prosperous and thickly settled com
munities.
leaders In the movement are using
publicity as their strongest aid. They
plan a campaign to get educational
needs before all the farmers of the
state, to have them discussed ably in
grange moeetings and to get the farm
ers to make their wants known to
state legislators. Various farm or
ganizations and allied groups are sub
scribing toward a fund to be used to
promote publicity for this mfasure
and to explain its provisions.
This is one more bit of that evi
dence which can be collected In widely
scattered sections of the country that
the farmer is not so slow and indiffer
ent to his own advancement as his
city brethren like to imagine him.
There may he farmers here and there
whose economic vision is warped and
who seek false remedies for their
difficulties. On the whole, however,
farmers aro showing level-headeed
good sense and are seeking benefits
which will make for permanent prog
ress and true betterr. ent of rural con
ditions.
Alimony for Husbands.
From tho New York Hern Id.
On the principle that a baby biting
a bulldog is news, the decision of the
Los Angeles iudge who ordered a
workinirwonian to pay alimony to her
husband has been widc-ly heralded.
Yot the rule of law involved is not of
recent origin.
Alimony literally la nourishment,
ar.d in law it is the allowance for
maintenance to which a wife Is en
titled out of her husband's property
or earnings when marriage is dis
solved. Ethically alimony is granted
women because the great majority
give their full attention to home mak
ing and so have rio opportunity indi
vidually to earn incomes. But if men
were housekeepers, the natural need
for support would be theirs.
This Is taken Into consideration
both by the English and the Ameri
can law, and where the facts Justify
such an award, women may be or
dered to pay alimony to their former
huabands. In the Los Angeles case
the man was reported to be ill and
unable to work, while the woman was
employed. Bhe was arcused of ha\lng
deserted her husband, who sued for
separate maintenance and who has
been allowed temporary alimony.
If the situation were reversed there
would be no question of the woman’s
right to support. In a number of
states, moreover, the statutes specify
conditions under which men are en
titled to a living out of their wives'
property. This Is true of Massachu
setts, Rhode Island. Virginia and
low-a. The husband in Oregon is en
titled to one-third of his wife’s reat
estate if the divorce Is granted be
cause of the woman’s fault.
The increased employment of mar
ried women tends to equalise the eco
nomlc relations of the sexes, and tho
natural result Is that alimony is like
ly to be more frequently awarded
men than It has been In the past. In
the case neither of a husband or •
wife, however, ia it allowed where
self-support is practicable. A woman
with an income sufficient to support
her cannot get alimony, nor could a
husband.
Thus the new burden which di
vorced women appear to he assuming
Is more sref-tacular than novel. It
follows naturally in the wake of a<
struggle for equal rights, since re
sponsibilities and rights are Inextrica
bly linked together. But while the
picture of a woman paying alimony
Js sufficiently rare to be news, tbc
habit of aupporting sicl: husbands is
not so unprecedented as to occasion
any notable change in the point of
view of female wage earners.

Mr. Fisher's Treacherous Memory.
From the Kin.as City Star.
In an address at Hast Liverpool. O..
a few days ago Prof. Irving Fisher of
Tale, an ardent advocate of the leagu#
of nations, told hfs audience that Mr.
Harding has assured him privately In
the campaign of 1920 that he was Just
as desirous as Professor Fisher that
the United States enter the league.
Political exigencies would not permit
him to say this In the campaign, but
after the election he expected to get
tho United States Into an amended
league. So Mr. Fisher quoted him.
A storm of Indignation broke on the
Vale professor for attributing to Mr.
Harding a two-face policy, and es
pecially for doing so after the presi
dent’s lips had been sealed. Mr.
Fisher shortly Issued a denial of the
reported statement. He had been mis
quoted. he said.
Then the Associated Pres# cams for
ward with the statement that the re
port of the address sent out over Its
wires was from Fisher's own manu
script. The professor thereupon took
refuge In the statement that the In
troductory parngrapli, which was sim
ply descriptive of Ills speech, mlsrep
renented him. The Associated Press
then showed that the sentence to
which h« look excepllon was furnish
ed by his authorized representative.
In fact, the Introductory aenteiu"
said In condensed form exactly what
the speaker elaborated in h'.s address.
The Incident Is n common news
paper experience. Every newspaper
knows that frequently a public man
who makes s statement for publica
tion which he subsequently regrets
takes refuge In the explanation that
h" was "misquoted."
Tn this case the affair Is Illuminat
ing as to what went before It con
victs Professor Fisher of what might
he called a treacherous memory. For
If the professor failed to remember
lhat he was accurately quoted by the
Associated Press In his Lust Liverpool
address, what Is the country to think
of Ills recollection of a private con
versation with Mr. Harding held llireo
years ago?

Kire Insurance r.ies are no» a novel
topic for debate in Omaha, but have
been before the public In one form
or another for a good many year**.

ance question, ano on Friday. April

something to eay on the topi*,'.
"THE RETAILER'S DEMAND.”
The conference committee on In
surance of the Retailers' association
has formulated a declaration of
grievances which is moderate in tono
and very conservative in Its demands.
The companies are reminded of tho
fact since the. 10 per cent increase
of local insurance rates the efficiency
of the fire department has been ma
terially improved and the fire risks
correspondingly lessened. Attention
is called also to the extension ancl en
largement of the water mains and the
marked increase in the volume of
the available water supply.
"Under these changed conditions
the companies should a« a matter of
equity voluntarily restore the old
rates, which were considered suffi
ciently high by underwriters and
were in effect f >1 four years after the
enactment of the valued policy law.
The recommendation of the commit
tee of a demand for a reduction of 10
per cent is therefore a very reason
able one so far as tlie insurance com
panies are concerned. In fact, it will
be regarded by most of the policy
holders as a considerable concession
to the underwriters.
"The consensus of opinion among
our business men js that the raising
of the rates in lfcihi on the pretext of
making up past losses was unjusti
fiable and the maintenance of the in
creased rate after the city had com
plied with nearly every demand made
upon it by the- insurance agents has
created a deep-seated feeling of re
sentment. The insurance interests
have for years had representatives
on the Board' of Fire and Police Com
missioners and had full sway in man
ning the fire department. and pur
< basing fire supplies and apparatus.
They have always had representation
In the council and an unstinted tax
levy for the fire fund, not only up to
the charier limit, but lioyond that
limit. This is the situation n ■ w and
will continue to be unless the. com
munity finds its liberality unappre
ciated.
"So far as the valued policy law is
concerned, the committee very truth
fully says the retailers, being for the
most part tenants, ai« not its bene
ficiaries. At the same time any hc
llon they might take or any promise
they might give of their aid in the
move for its repeal would only cause
dissension in their ranks, and there
fore should not l~? thrust into the
present controversy. V.’hile the val
ued policy law has afforded a pre'.ext
for rate raising, it cannot Is- gain
said that the f re hazard in Omaha in
IV**1 is verv much less than it was in
1*3, and the companies will, still be
doing exceedingly well if the policy
holders rest content with a 10 per
cent reduction, which means a contin
uance of rates at least 10 per cent
higher than they were three years
ago and higher than they should have
been at any time."

W hy This Fuss About WbMtf
Lincoln—To the Editor of The Oiua
ha Bee: To haar some speakers talk,
and to read some of the articles now
being run in our papers one would
think the whole country was going to
the bowwows because of the low
price of wheat. Wheat represents
less than 7 per cent of the total farm
income. It is not our main crop; lar
from It. Agriculture can prosper with
out it, and 1 believe the human race
could exist without it, for theie art
plenty of substitutes.
Wheat is hard on the soil, at l'-akt
it seems to wear out land where it is
continually grown without rotation or
fertilizer. ’ The grow ing of wheat does
not build the community or state as
tloes diversified farming. The wheat
farmer puts in a few months work
and has many months of idleness. He
takes a gamble on the yield and the
price. He has but one harvest, and if
it fails, the year's work is lost.
It is vastly more important to our
commonwealth that such commodities
as corn, oats, cotton and hay retain a
high price, and that such products as
butter, cheese, beef, eggs, pork and
mutton remain high and linn.
Some years ago the government in
vestigated communities given largely
to the growing ><| wheat and com
munities where diversified farming
prevailed. They found in every in
stance that the diversified farming
communities were more prosperous.
Their bank deposits per capita were
two and three times higher than those ,
ill the wheat-growing region.
Of course we would all like to see i
wheat selling at a pood price as we I
would other farm products, but is it j
not true that it w ould be more in-j
jurious to the country at large if i
corn or stock products were celling:
low? This is a competitive world and i
should always lie see if there is too j
much wheat and it s too t heap, lees:
should be grown, or more should be I
fed Good dairy cows will return 1
it per bushel for ground wheat.
The law of supply and demand must
prevail and will prevail, and after all |
would not the country be better .f
more farmers diversiiied their crops
and reduced their production of]
wheat? A. L. HAECKER. I
Another Use for Wheat.
Omaha—To the Kditi r of Tim Oma
ha Bee- i have a plan whereby the
consumption of wheat could be in
creased a little and that too to the
benefit of evorylKxly concerned It is
the using of wheat starch by the
laundry men In the starching of col
lars. It gives th^m more body and
less pressure Is required and less
trouble comes on the Ironing ma
chines, they dampen more slow ly and
evenly, and after ironing resist mois
ture better and give longer service on
a warm day. They are more pliable
and crack less readily on edges and
at button holes. Corn or combination
starches I lielieve cost a little less and
that I think la the reason most laun
dry men aro us ig them. I bn\e noi
doubt that, in many other businesses
the same shi rt sighted polk y Is being
pursued and have long held the belief
that newspapers could perform a real
service by finding out about them and
showing these men their error.
