LOOKING TOWARDS THE WEST.
Recent developments in the political arena seem
to indicate that the democrats of the country are
turning tiieir eyes westward in search of a candi
date for the presidency. Dismissing for the time
being all consideration of potential republican candi
dates, of which number President Coolidge is ad
mittedly one, it is not unseemly for even a repub
lican newspaper that aims to be of the west western
to discuss the availability of democratic possibilities.
The indications are that the south and the west
will compete for the doubtful honor of providing
the democratic candidate for the presidency. The
rapidly developing west is deserving of more rec
ognition in political circles, both republican and
democratic. And such recognition would be of im
mense advantage to the west in many ways.
The candidate named by the dominant party de
pends in largest measure upon the public record of
President Coolidge. Among the democrats, first for
consideration, of course, is the potential candidacy
of Gov. Charles W. Bryan, junior member of the
political firm of Bryan & Bryan. Those who dismiss
Charles W. Bryan with a wave of the hand are mak
ing a very grave mistake. Brother Charley is a
longheaded, shrewd and very capable politician. He
is a past master in the art of passing the political
buck, and being Johnny-on-the-spot when the credits
for successful endeavor in behalf of the people are
being distributed. Should some scheme of Brother
Charley’s go wrong, he is an adept in proving to the
satisfaction of his friends and supporters thnt some
emissary of Big Business or Special Interests jumped
out of the brush most unexpectedly and sandbagged
the scheme. Brother Charley seems to have been
able to plant an emissary of Big Business behind
every bush, thus having conveniently at hand a per
fectly plausible excuse for the failure of some
Bryanesque scheme to reach the goal of ultimate
success.
The elder partner of the firm, William, may be
temporarily dismissed from consideration at this
time, as he is no longer a westerner, put a south
erner. In due time hia ease, as a southern possi
bility in the democratic ranks, may be properly
taken up and discussed.
There remains, however, Senator John B. Ken
drick of Wyoming to consider among western demo
cratic possibilities. It is true that Wyoming has but
three votes in the electoral college, but it would
seem that the time is come for democrats and re
publicans alike, to dismiss that factor from the poli
tical equation and give more consideration to men
than to the number of electoral votes their individual
states may have. Measured by electoral votes Wyom
ing is well towards the foot of the list, but in demo
cratic circles at least, Wyoming stands well up
towards the head when It comes to a matter of offer
ing a presidential candidate who has real brains and
ability, and who has won his way to a front rank
in the councils of his party.
It required more than the ordinary ability as a
vote* getter, more than the ordinary hold upon the
people, more than the usual amount of confidence
the people have in their public officials, for John
Benjamin Kendrick to take the supposedly unbeat
able Mondell to overwhelming defeat. It required
high character also for him, though a democrat, to
support the tariff. Surely a man who stands as
well with his home folks as John Benjamin Ken
drick stands, and which stand is emphasized by his
splendid majority, is deserving of more than passing
consideration from his own party, which is admitted
ly rather short of presidential material.
While not agreeing with Senator Kendrick upon
some of the important questions of the day, this
newspaper is frank to admit its admiration for the
senator’s undoubtedly ability, his unquestioned hon
esty and his thorough westemisra. There is nothing
of the poseur about him. He makes no pretense of
being an oratorical spellbinder, and he would be
quick to resent the charge that he is a reformer.
Just a plain, unassuming, and tireless worker for
what he thinks is best for his own people and for
all peoples, Senator Kendrick has not been greatly
in the political limelight. But he has won the ad
miration of people who like courage and honesty of
purpose, even though they may differ with him in
matters of policy.
A really big, upstanding, foursquare westerner
is Senator John Benjamin Kendrick of Wyoming.
The democracy of the nation could go further and
fare worse in the selection of a presidential standard
bearer. But in view of democracy’s past record, it
is to be expected that democracy will go further than
Wyoming for a candidate, and fare the worse
thereby.
EDISON’S REALISM.
Thomas Edison doesn’t often talk to newspaper
men. The other day, however, in an unusual situa
tion he spoke freely to the representatives of the
press.
When he said that the White House was no
place for his friend, Henry Ford, this was no dis
paragement of Ford's abilities. As a private citizen,
as an industrial manager, Ford, he said, is of im
mense benefit to his country. Rut the presidency
would not give the Michigan business genius any
greater scope for his enterprises; in fact, the politi
cal environment would handicap his powers. In
Europe, where it is a common thing for a man of
' affairs to round out a long career by service in par
liament or in an important government post, Henry
Ford might*fit in better than he does here. Our
political scene is not made for such men ps Ford; he,
on the other hand, is not politically minded enough
to work well in office.
There is not, these days, much that can be done
through political means. The greatest opportunity
for advancement seems to exist in the economii
field. The time appears close at hand when am
bitious young men will cease to compete for office,
seeking instead to satisfy their ideals and ambitions
through what is coming to be realized as the more
practical channel of private effort and service.
SEARS KNOWS HIS STUFF.
Representative W. G. Sears, who is soon to go
down Washington way to look after matters pertain
ing to government, and more especially matters per
taining to the Second Nebraska district, strikes most
of us as being a man who knows his stuff.
He announces that he is not going to Washing
ton to run the government; he is going there to rep
resent his district. “Those fellows who think they
can go tfown to Washington and run things just be
cause they can raise a loud hurrah and draw a lot
of headlines in the newspapers, just won’t run it,
that's all,” quietly remarks Representative Sears.
This frank utterance, coming so quietly yet so pene
tratingly amidst the swelling volume of vocal reme
dies for our peculiar ills, is entitled not only to par
ticular notice but to loud and tumultuous applause.
“I am going down there to represent my district,”
asserts Representative Sears. And again the ap
plause should be joud and long.
Note that the representative chosen by the Sec
ond Nebraska district is not going to Washington
with a gripful of panaceas; he hasn’t in his indi
vidual. possession any political medicine that will
enable us to spend more money while decreasing our
expenses. During the months that have elapsed
since he was elected he has not spent, or wasted, any
time in his laboratory concocting the compounds
which, if administered in copious vocal doses or dis
guised in sweet scented laws, will make the farmer
prosperous by increasing the price of all he pro
duces, and at the same time make the wage earners
more prosperous by reducing the price of all they
must eat. No, sir; Representative Sears is merely
going to Washington to represent the Second Ne
braska district. In other words, he is merely going
to tackle the job assigned to him and do his level
best to make good. The vociferating, the remedy
concocting, the panacea producing, and all that sort
of thing, he will leave to others who make such
work a specialty.
There is every indication, too, that Representa
tive Sears’ program is very satisfactory to the peo
ple of his district. If representatives from other
districts scattered all over the republic would adopt
the same sort of program, more rapid progress might
be made toward the good time when questions of na
tional and International moment could be discussed
without superheating the atmosphere, and worth
while results reached without so much strain upon
the vocal chords of statesmen, and without undue
affliction of the auditory nerves of the public.
Dr. Leighton of Scotland, visiting in this coun
try, says he declined all invitations to drink proffered
by his American hosts, because he did not want to
violate the laws of the country in which he was
visiting. Which same seems to be offering his Amer
ican hosts a mighty bitter Roland for their proffered
exhilarating Oliver.
When the Buffalo Voice is lifted for Kendrick
for president, it isn’t any plaintive little squeak, but
the bull-roaring basso profundo of a gigantic bison,
b’gosh. No western state has as many electoral
votes as New York, but any one of ’em has more
men of real presidential size.
The editor of a college paper has been discharged

The game of passing the buck as now being
played by the governors in Washingtoh is not at all
like the game of the same name indulged in by states
men of a disappearing generation. Those old-timers
played the game with the cards dealt to them.
Becabse a Philadelphia firm took over a business

"Farewell,” we said to Jane when fond vacation days

Comparative Freight Rates.
Sutton, Neb.—To ths Editor o( The
Omaha Bee: W. W. Baldwin, vice
preeident of the Burlington, in a two
column article in The Omaha Bee con
tends that Senator Norris Is mistaken
In his statements concerning farm
conditions, railroad rates, etc.; that
"his article deals largely In generali
ties and denunciation."
Senator Norris is perfectly able to
take care of this reply, but. as Mr.
Baldwin asks for specifications, the
writer feels that he can. In part at
least, supply this want.
Mr. Baldwin states that "freight
rates in this country are lower than
In any other country in the world."
This statement, like those In the Bur
lington time tables of March, 1921, re
garding passenger rates In Europe,
needs a little elucidation by way of
correction.
To begin with, the transportation
conditions here and in Europe are so
different that direct comparisons
would be misleading and confusing.
In this country from 70 to 90 per cent
of the freight is handled in carload
lots. In Europe, except Russia, Just
the reverse Is true. On the govern
ment owned and operated railroads of
Germany heavy freight, such as coal
and lumber, Is hnuled by water and
at from one-fifth to one-tenth that of
rail rates. This water transportation
on the four canalized rivers is oper
ated by the government In co-ordina
tion with the railroads. One-fourth
of all the freight is hauled by water
In Germany, one-third In France and
one-half In Belgium.
The 1. c. 1. (less than carload lots)
freight in Germany Is more like our
express, and includes drayage from
and to depots. This is quite an item,
especially In hauls of less than 100
miles. The drayage in Sutton is *
cents per hundred. Even at that the
I. c. I. freight 111 1913 was less there
than here. Many other things might
be mentioned that make comparisons
without lengthy explanations confus
ing.
No. 3 Burlington train rushes
through Sutton with 17 coaches weigh
ing about 1,200 tons and drawn by a
275-ton locomotive and averages 33
miles an hour to Denver. The Paris
Eyons fast train weighs lesii than 400
tons and makes better than 50 miles
an hour. Freight trains with SO
loaded box cars, weighing from 3.000
to 4,000 tons, with a crew of five men
and drawn by one locomotive, are
not infrequent. The rapacity of
freight cars in Europe is 15 tons or
less. The roads of Germany were
built for military purposes, with a lot
of equipment useless except in time
of war. Even at that, the profits help
largely to pay the taxes.
But while transportation conditions
are far different abroad, conditions In
Canada are almost exactly the same as
here—lt>ng hauls, heavy trains and
high wages. Let us proceed to meet
Mr. Baldwin's demsnd to be explicit
and not deal In generalities. Take the
freight on wheat: The three lake
por‘s for western wheat are Fort Wil
liams for Canadian farmers. Duluth
for northern farmers, and Chicago for
central farmers. All three of these
ports are at the head of the lakes and
are about equally distant from Buf
falo.
From Sweet Groks. Mont., on the
Great Northern, to Duluth ts 1,004
miles. Just 10 miles north Is Coutts.
In Canada, and the distance to Fort
Williams Is 1,203 miles. The rate per
hundred on the former is 43 cents,
while on the Canadian Pacific It is
27.5 cents, although the haul is 200
miles farther. From Lander. Wyo.,
to Chicago (Chicago A Northwestern)
1.275 miles, the rate Is 69.5 cents.
While the dlstanre is only 73 miles
more, the rate is 15 3 per cent greater
than from Coutts, given above. But
let s get closer home. The Ashland
(Neb.) farmer pays 2S cents per hun
dred for the haul on the Burlington
for 510 miles to Chicago, while the
Canadian farmer at Passburg, Al
berta, 1,259 miles to Fort Williams,
pays exactly the same price ue the
Ashland farmer for 610 miles. The
rate from Red Oak to Chicago Is 23
cents for 443 miles, while from Winni
peg, Manitoba, to Fort Williams, 420
miles, is 14 cents.
I hope that sufficient examples have
been given to Justify the assertion
that our railroad rates are not less
than In any other country In the
world. ' A. G. OROH.
Warns Against Moyrt George.
Oakland, Neb.—To the Editor pf
The Omaha Bee: Notwithstanding
Mr. Evans' criticism In a recent Issue
of The Omaha Bee, It seems to me
that Mr. Howard's word of warning
was both timely and sensible. It can
sufely be taken for granted that the
real object of Lloyd Georges visit
here Is to win the United States over
to closer fellowship with England and
effect some definite understanding
with.that end In view. Indeed, the
gentleman himself. If he is correctly
quoted, has plainly stated that he haa
already formulated what he calls a
"plan." Ho takes particular pains
to Inform us that "It is not a court,
a league, or an alliance." In this he
does well, for we are getting so we
shy at the mere mention of any one
of them.
It goes without saying that It Is
intended that England should be the
ehlef beneficiary in any such plan
proposed by this master of diplomacy.
Therefore Jerry Howard was quite
right In saying It would be well to
keep a watchful eye on the ex-prime
minister. It Is true lie claims he Is
working for peace. Well, no one can
doubt that the American people would
go to almost any practicable limit to
help bring about harmony qnrt Insure
peace to troubled nations. But we
have learned our leeson. Besides, we

.. Suggested Improvements.
Omaha.—To the Editor of The
Omaha Bee: I see by the paper* va
rious suggestions for Improving Oma
ha. In this morning's paper some one
says the Lincoln highway is a dis
grace. I will admit that some parts
of It are; also the D. L. D., but char
ity begins at home, or should. As a
resident of Omaha for 28 years I do
not think it looks well to complain
about county roads when Omaha
streets are in the condition they are.
The past three days I have had the
pleasure of company from a western
state, and they have also been visit
ing in an eastern city. Of course I
wanted to show them our city, so took
them out for several drives. Before
leaving today they thanked me very
much for the entertainment and also
the "shaking up ' over the smooth (?>
streets and boulevards.
Some instances where they could
and should be improved at once; Sev
enteenth street, from Cuming to
Grace street. I would like to put the
city commissioners and the street rail
way managers in a truck without
springs and compel them to ride up
and down that street for a couple of
hours. Another place: Why not have
the street railway company take out
the old curve at Nineteenth and Cum
ing? Thirtieth street, between Bris
tol and Sprague streets. Is another
place that is bad. Some pretty rough
crossings at Fifteenth and Davpn
port, also Fourteenth and Davenport.
And, while suggestions are in order,
why not repave Fourteenth street
north from Davenport snd a traffic
officer at Sixteenth and Locust about
6 p. m. wouldn't be * bad Idea.
Another suggestion: Put some
street cars on the Sherman avenue
line In the morning about 6:30 to 6:4."i.
We poor devils that have to he at
work down-town at 7 a. m. and live
south of Locust street have standing
room only and darned little of that.
Three days last week I had to go to
Dundee to work: took car at Burdette
and Sherman avenue, stood up all
way down-town to Fourteenth and
Farnam, five or six Farnam cars com
ing west of Tenth and not one had
over a dozen people on. Looks like
becauae they run in the "bon ton”
part of town they have better serv
ice, regardless of whether there is
anybody to ride on them.
Now. my suggestions to the
moneyed Interests of Omaha and the
ones that are trying to better Omaha:
Make Omaha comfortable and safe for
the people that are here: give us good
street*, good street car service, real
honest to fiod police protection, run
the bootleggers out, and the Chamber
of Commerce won't have to worry
about how to get outside capital to In
vest here.
Now. Mr. Editor, this letter is too
long to print, and I don't care to
have it published anyway, but if any
of my suggestions look good to you
and you can use them, all right, but
please don't use mv name.
"COMPLAINANT.”
Safe, Sound and Stable Money.
Omaha.—To the Editor of The
Omaha Bee: While the following
line* are written in a more or lees
humorous vein, the writer wishes
them to he taken seriously. Admit
ting at the start that he has made sev
eral financial failures, he still main
tains that the man who Investigated
the buzz saw and came away shy one
finger should be good authority on
the subject of buzz saws. This Is the
plan:
1. Let the land holders Issue the
money.
2. Under the management of tho
government.
3. At a regular and uniform rate
per acre, regardless of the location,
value or condition of title.
i. The obligation of Its redemption,
to be Inseparable with the title.
In practice, Uncle Sant, John Poe
and Jim Crow, In order to provide a
safe, sound and stable currency for
the country enter Into a partnership
to establish s National Bank of Asia,
with all the land nnd resources of the
country at the lose of the money,
guaranteeing that this money shall
represent the produce of the country,
and everyone will be anxious and will
ing to redeem It with the very best
the country can produce.
Uncle Sam still owns and controls
vast trn-ts of land, while John Poe
owns and controls all the very best
farm lands and city real eslate. Jim
Crow owning only what John Poe
considers worthless, nevertheless lim
Is taken In ss an equal partner In
the concern. As this money can only
be redeemed by labor. It will naturally
go to the man at the plow, the bench,
the forge and lathe, the actual pro
ducers of the wealth of the land.
While Jim Crow s position will ba like
the young man that Inherits a small
fortune from his father's estate, know
ing himself to lie an heir to this
money he has made no effort to retain
or regain the money that he received
and wasted, consequently when Ills
resources are exhausted, he Is a fail
ure; but, like Jlrri Chow, he has been
the means of bringing Into circula
tion a certain amount of money which
on his failure to redeem has passed
Into the hands of the John Poes.
If fiermsny today. Instead of Issu
ing three millions of marks that rep
resent nothing and that are worth
nothing, would issue one mark that
would represent a ton of coal, their
mark would advance Immediately
BO million per cent In the world
This system of money In connection
with a varying tariff (hat would act
as a balance wheel to the supply and
command of commodities, varying up
and down as tho price of a commodity
Increased or decreased, thereby pro
viding protection to the consumer ss

In George Playing Politics?
From tho Wyoming fitgt* Tribune.
Canada speculates that the object
which David Lloyd George has in
mind in his short expedition Into the
United States and the dominion h.-ia
a political shade. Wise observers In
Canada think that he desires to im
press the voters of Great Britain with
the fervor and acclaim of his recep
tion here.
There is a possibility that the Bald
win cabinet will fall if the Stresemann
administration tumbles- in Germany.
For the moment Poincare will be
stronger in France. Settlement of
tho Ruhr controversy apparently will
b* no nearer, notwithstanding the
strenuous efforts made by Baldwin
to bring it about.
In the crisis the people of Great
Britain will remember that«»Mr.
George has an immense following in
the United States and Canada, and,
infercntially, in all British colonies.
Here, they will say, is the man to lead
the government.
Mr. George is probably contriving
to fto definite purpose, yet there is
scarcely a doubt that he ha.1 a general
aim in view, which is to so strengthen
him anew in Great Britain that he
will be able to reconstruct the liberal
party and return It to power. If not
to enter the premiership himself
again. ,

I>r. Pugaley.
From the Sioux Fail* Freer.
It is well for Sioux Falls business
and professional men to welcome Dr.
Charle* W. Pugsley as they propose
doing at a Joint meeting of all of the
luncheon clubs. Dr. Pugsley cornes
to the stale as the head of the state
college at Brookings, one of the
most important Institutions of any
character in the state.
He has made an excellent impres
sion upon all with whom he has come
in contact. He Is a big man physi
cally and those who know him say
he Is likewise big mentally. He Is no
theorist in things agricultural for he
has spent most of his days on the
farm and the balance of them study
ing farm problems. He ow ns a farm
in Harrison county. Iowa, at the pres
ent time. His equipment for his Im
portant post is unquestioned.
If he is to have charge of the state
institution where agricultural educa
tion Is stressed and where other oc
cupations are taught, it is well that
the men of Sioux Falls should know
him. It is well that they should aid
him in his work and it is not hard
to understand that if we know him we
will be more inclined to do so.
A New Kind of f>og Show.
From the Washington Star.
A mutt dog show is to Iff given at
Washington by the Humane Kduca
tlonal society, and it is planned to
form a National Mutt Show associa
tion which will hold nn exposition at
the capital each year. A mutt is the
kind of dog that belongs to the aver
age Washington man and boy. Some
times this kind of dog does not "be
long," but lives in freedom by his
wits. That is a hard way to live, and
any dog in that state would welcome
adoption by a boy. The only dog to
be barred from the approaching show
will be the one with a recorded pedi
gree. The Judges will have naught to
do with dog genealogy, it is what a
dog Is and not what his great grand
father was that is to count
The plehlan dog Is to have his day
Perhaps he Is now expressing himself,
by vibrations of his tail and other
wise, in somewhat this fashion:
"Yelp! Y’elp! Pass the news to Tow

Brown and all the other regular fel
lows that we are going to have a

blackberry bill.
Once upon a time there lived a cat
whose name was Blackberry BUI. He
lived with a family nea? a pasture
where numerous gopher holes could
be found. Also In the barn where he
slept could be found many fat rats
and mice.
With this family there also lived a
kitten called 8pottie-go-too. Black
berry Bill brought food to this kitten
every day.
One day the family moved, taking
with them Blackberry BUI and SpotUe
go-too.
Biacklierry Bill was disgusted, so
badly disgusted no one saw him for
several days. Then he was located
at the old house. When the mother
or boys called him hy name he would
call hack, ‘'me-a u." ns loudly as he
could; come and lie down at their
feet, rolling over and over.
Each time he was taken home he
would stay but a few days, but always
kept Hpottie-go-too's hunger appeased.
One day the boys took him to the
new pasture and that time lie stayed
a week or more, and the kitten could
not take care of all the game he
brought in. Ho he would bring it In
to the little girl of the family.
Once lie brought In a beautiful
oriole alive and unharmed. "Black
berry Bill," said the mistress, "how
dare you catch a little bird?" Hhe
took it out and placed It on a limb
of a tree, where It chattered to them.
"He la thanking us," said the little
girl But Blackberry Bill thought the
bird was laughing at him and that
the girl wasn't thankful enough, so
away he went.
A few weeks after, he came back
all by himself. Then he found Spottie
go-too with three little kittens. Now
ho is quite contented, as he has plenty
to do bringing food to those who will
appreciate it.
