Events are moving rapidly in Germany just now, co fast that the cautious mind hesitates at undertak ing to define them. Surface indications appear to justify in some degree the pessimistic statements that the country is on the verge of a general break ing up. Behind these outward signs, though, a sorely perplexed but steadfast people stands determined to preserve their own identity and some form of na tional government that will ensure them a proper place in the scheme of civilization. Stresemann’s leadership may appear futile, for lie is forced at the moment to confront a combina tion of circumstances that might well overwhelm even a greater man. French intrigue hag brought about a declaration of the Rhineland republic’s inde pendence. Saxony is seemingly in control of the i communists, and Bavaria assumes to be the leader instead of Prussia, while from Doom comes the news that father and son, the abdicated emperor and his fugitive crown prince, are consulting as to the situa tion in the fatherland. No bank of clouds could be blacker in the political skies, and the economic sit uation is about as desperate. Against this must be set the fact that the masses of Germany, patiently as they have followed the lead of the men who have taken on themselves the task of guiding their country, are finally not only thor oughly patriotic, but are capable of action on their own motion. Napoleon found this out. His iron hand fell with full weight on conquered Prussia, and it was the farmers and mechanics of Prussia who fol lowed Blucher to the undoing of the French oppres sor. Poincare should read that chapter of history. Bavaria’s aspirations to leadership are not new. Some show of right and reason supports them, but Prussia has stood at the front for generations in the German confederation, even before Bismarck welded the states and principalities into one. Sax ony’s program is impossible, for even when the im perial government was most paternal, and the life of the people held the most of state socialism, thinly disguised as imperialism, the mind of the German people turned back at the thought of communism. On these outstanding historic facts, the knowl edge of which is common to all who are familiar with German history, may rest a conclusion that dark ns the day is for'the German people, the sun will risa again on thtm. A melancholy comfort may be ■loted in that all talk of reparations and similar complications or considerations has quieted before i wreck that is the inevitable outcome of the stern and undeviating course pursued by France, of which die occupancy of the Ruhr is but a single step. If France only sought reparations, she has now de stroyed any immediate chance of securing payment. If the destruction of the German republic was sought, that may be achieved. Take either end of die matter and critical examination shows little to France’s glory. Chivalry forbade the knight to strike a prostrate foeman, to slay a prisoner who could no longer resist, or to despoil those who had not arms in their hands. Prize ring rules demand that a bruiser wait until his opponent is on his feet before striking him. France has not observed these rules, nor refrained from violating them. What may happen to Germany is on the knees of the g£ds, but come what may, it will bring no softening of the German feeling to ward the oppressors who have wrought so much of misery. WHEN AN AUTHOR WRITHES. Israel Zangwill is finding out a lot more about America, and is making comment accordingly. Being a bright and steady light in the literary firmament, where he was fixed many years ago, he has a right to speak as one having authority. Conceding this, we were still a bit puzzled when we read his comment orv pictures produced by American film manufac turers. A good' film, says Mr. Zangwill, needs no .subtitles. He goes on to say that he has seen pic tures made from his own stories that he does noj understand. No chance to argue there. A great many peo ple have read the Zangwill stories and wondered what he was driving at. Even Jews have found themselves unable to agree with Zangwill, to the extent that just a few days ago he declared him self to be the only “Zionist” left, in face of the claim,s of a great many thousands of his race who insist they, also, are Zionists. Moreover, when it comes to making plays for the stage or the camera out of the Zangwill novels, even the author has slipped when he came to translate his own thought through another medium than words. “Merely Mary Ann" was a wonderful novel, gripping the heart and the mind, with its exposition of the yearnings of a “slavey” and the impassible gulf opened by caste in England. When Mr. Zangwill produced this in London, it was a terrific hit, and so it. was in America, with this difference: As produced in London the action of the drama runs along to its legitimate con clusion; when transferred to the American stage, its author had supplied it with a fourth and im possible act, affronting good taste and judgment alike, that a "happy ending” might be provided for those of his prospective patrons who might not care to face facts and preferred to see the heroine “live in peace and die in grease,” according to the ancient formula. Having achieved this assault on his own work Mr. Zangwill should not feel so much put out if home producers have followed his lead, and twisted Zangwill novels out of any semblance to them selves in making movies. If he does not understand them, it merely means that he is in with the big majority. Nobody else does, but all like to see them, and that is what counts. "Give me the knickers,” said a Chicago woman when the judge asked which she would prefer, the breeches or her husband. Many of the dear ones get both. It will be worth anyone’s time to watch A1 Smith enforcing the dry law In. New York. CRABTREE SOUNDS THE SLOGAN. “Pate, Peace and Prosperity!” is the alliterative slogan that was voiced at Peru when the new presi dent of the normal school was given welcome by the citizens and faculty. One of the significant things in connection with this is that it was furnished by J. W. Crabtree, once the head of the school, and the center of a very pretty little row in his day. Another is that the time-tried and fire-tested Col. Thomas J. Majors was an outstanding figure at the banquet tendered Prof. Pate. Colonel Majors was hailed as the “maker of school men,” He probably will disclaim the dis tinction, yet it is worth while to have# his good report. The affair is presented as a happy culmination of the latest attempt to dislodge Colonel Majors from the state school board. Also it is the beginning of what well wishers of the Peru institution hope is to be a long period of peace and prosperity. Local ambitions, jealousies and animosities growing there 'rom are of little service to a great school, such as he normal at Peru is designed to be. As the first if Nebraska’s schools designed to train teachers for he work of training the state’s children, it has a igh place in the estimation of the public, and hould not be made a bone of contention or the cen ?r of factional dissension. “Pate, peace and prosperity” sounds good for ’eru. Let it prevail. t "EASY MONEY.” The same old story, this time from Kansas City. V young man employed in a bank has been arrested jii the charge of embezzlement. ‘‘I hoped to make oome big money in oil," was his explanation. Same old story of ‘‘easy money,” and the same old result. Young man, there is no such thing as easy money that is worth-while money. The dream of getting something for nothing, the dream of making a living without rendering a service in return, the dream of a fortune dropping into your lap from some mysterious source—all idle dreams that inevitably end in a rude awakening. There never was a time in the world’s history when it held out more ample rewards for intelligent and faithful service. The young man who works and saves is the young man who will be, in later years, the backbone of his community, the man who will be looked up to and trusted. The young man who wastes his time in waiting for the “easy money” will be the middle-aged man tomorrow, broke, down and out, incapacitated for honest work —if, indeed, he is not paying behind the prison bars the penalty of trying to grab as “easy money” the hard-earned money of others. The business world is looking for the steady young fellows who are willing to earn what they get, save a portion of what they receive and give worth-while service to their employers and their communities. That sort of thing is the thing that pays in the long run, the thing that pays in soul satisfaction and in financial independence. It does not and nevft- did pay, boys, to look for the “easy money.” It may seem to do for a time, and while it so seems you may have a sneer for the plugging, plodding fellows who are doing real work for a seemingly small wage; but it never lasts. Sooner or later the dream ends and the penalty is exacted. The only thing that pays in the long run, financially and spiritually, is to give the world the best you have in you. REAL CHANCE FOR HENRY. After Thomas A. Edison told a group of lunchers that it would be the spoiling of a good man to make Henry Ford president, he went on to suggest some other ways in which the country may utilize the great manufacturer. One of these has to do with an experiment Mr. Ford carried on up in Michigan. He purchased an old water-driven grist mill, installed a turbine instead of the old over-shot wheel, and furnished electricity to farmers and others in the neighborhood, to their great edification. , This, Mr. Edison thinks, is a field of endeavor in which Mr. Ford will do better than in trying to gov ern the nation. Public interest in electricity, its generation and transportation is more and more direct each day. One very good proof of this may be noted from the car window while riding between Omaha and the Pacific coast. After the mountains once are fairly reached, the high-power transmission line never is missed again. It is just as present on the view as the telegraph and telephone leads, con necting the generator with the consumer. New proj ects are being developed, and better ways of trans porting and utilizing the "juice” are being discov ered, until it will be a wise man who can foresee the end. If Mr. Edison can get Mr. Ford to hitch his me chanical brain and his unemployed millions to the Edison or Steinmetz genius for making electricity serve mankind, the outcome will very likely be worth a great deal more to the world at large than having Henry hold down a Job with which he is not neirly so familiar as he is with machine shop methods and practices. The world has more need for dynamos than for diplomats, and Edison and Ford are the boys to get the energy that is now going to waste har nessed for man’s uses. A party of scientists has started to search for a forked-tail monkey in China. What’s the use? A few shots of home-brewed hootch ought to bring the critter into plain sight. Railroad clerks will not complain that the labor board has not taken notice of them. Two cents an hour may not be much, but it is a lot better going up than coming down. "Who put the mud in Omaha’s water?" is the question before the committee. No really sound government ever was built solely on a pronunciamento. About this time dig up your canna bulbs.

Lincoln.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: The boys and girls who are to be the men and women of the next generation have been delving into tho problems of the past In his tory, and we are wondering whether they understand that the people to day are making the history that their grandchildren will some day study. For nearly a century and a half thia nation has been making Its laws through a bicameral system of legis lation. An lniatltlve petition Is at this time being circulated asking for an amendment to our constitution pro viding for a unicameral legislature in Nebraska. The discussion and settlement of this question will be sn epoch in Ne braska history. In the days of our federal constitu tion making such men as Benjamin Franklin advocated a unicameral leg islature for this republic, but after much discussion the bicameral sys tem prevailed and that system has lived to this time. Many prominent men in Nebraska are at this time firm advocates of a unicameral system, while others are still unconverted. We think that the time has come for a candid study of the question on its merits, and we are asking the people at the head of out schools to place the question square ly before the students in every school in Nebraska for public study and dis cussion. Every patron should be In vited to lend his presence and his help to further the discussion of the question In the greatest spirit of thoroughness and fairness. The ques tion Is not In the slightest sense a political question and our committee is determined that It shall not he so treated. It Is true that In every busi ness of life we are using new and ef ficient machines to do the work of the world except In the all Important business of law-making. But the question must be. "Shall Nebraska make the change?" OTTO MUTZ, 1700 N Street. * Would Examine Motorists. Omaha—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: I am very much in favor of all motorists carrying liabil ity Insurance. Many accidents have occurred in which the motorist at fault carried no Insurance, and at the same time was Judgment proof, and the Innocent injured person suffered greatly. If practical, it would be w ell that all applicants for a license pass an ex amination, which would require a thorough knowledge of the rules of the road, as well as how to drive the car, the meaning of power, momen tum. what causes skidding, the me chanical parts of the car in genera], how through the Ignorance of the driver, the car is transformed from an Instrument of usefulness and pleasure to one of destruction. The effort required, In the attempt to educate drivers, would be worth while, if as the result only one life per year was saved. Many lives would be saved. R. B. TEDROW. Needed Reforms. To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: With great Interest have I followed up the Idea of licensing automobile drivers. Our editor of the Papilllon 'rimes, P, O. Miller, even sug gested that each driver put up a bond, which in case of accident should be used to pay the expenses. The reason for this statement was that a man from Fremont drove my car just three weeks ago today and did con siderable damage to my car, but was not able to pay for It, since he has nothing but the old Scrlpps Booth car and what was In it. I have not much myself, but I had to pay the bill out of my salary; and that cuts a big hole Into $100 per month. Never would I think of driving a car, If I would not need It In my work. For the last seven years did I drive a car and never had any accidents, but there In Omaha it had to happen; and It was the other man's fault; the police man. who was standing In the middle of the Intersection on Sixteenth and Leavenworth streets said so too. This especially, also the many acci dents which occur every day In the city, caused me to look for some kind of a state law which would curb the criminal driving of automobiles. Another thing I am greatly Inter ested in Is the ‘'workhouse" Idea. It is perfectly correct what you say. namely that "exercise and something to occupy the mind, builds up instead of destroys man's spirit." Besides it would provide for the families of those sentenced, otherwise they would become county charges, in many cases. I am Just thinking of one such case here in our county. I was born and raised in Meinlngen, a beautiful little city of 17,000 Inhabitants, In the Thurlnglan mountains. In the heart of Germany. There the prisoners were employed at road work, chop ping w-ood, or helping In the harvest, always watched over by a guard. They received the wages, which were current for that kind of work, minus the cost of keeping them clothed and fed; thus at the end of their sen tence they would have something to start out on. Besides, they came In contact with people, and whenever the guard had gained the confidence of his group of prisoners none of them would ever think of escaping. I recall very vividly how we had our wood hauled to Jail every fall and the prisoners sawed and split It and brought It to our woodshed; the guard would he standing there talk ing, knowing that hie men did not even think of taking a chance to run away. After they had brought all the wood, mother would prepare a lunch Daily Prayer The (liift nf Igy. ,nd pear, shall ha with you—II Cor.

The bass were biting In the old sandpit swimming hole In Jim Robertson's pasture on the bot tom near the Platte river at Louis ville, and my Uncle I>ee and Brother Harry had gone forth with pole and bait at sunrise. Gus Pautsch and I followed with refreshments for the fishermen. As we walked down the sand bank to the water's edge, we noticed a live ly agitation In the marsh grass at the shore. Going closer to observe, I called Gus, and together we watched a remarkable battle between a for midable looking big gray water spider and a snappy, glosity, blue-black wasp. The spider, comparatively massive, and at first the aggressor, had the phlegmatic, baleful, ominous look and manner of hJLs kind. The wasp was all nerves, temper and action. Here was no victim entangled In a web, but a lightning scrapper at liberty In the open sand. The spider, with clumsy over-slung legs reaching and powerful Jaws working, would hurl his huge bulk against the slim black knight In a rush Intended to make quick work of his spunky little adversary, but the was)) was all around and over him with snap, hop and sidestep, striking swiftly and often with his stiletto stinger at vulnerable spots in the gray monster. It was science and agil ity against brute braw-n, and we shouted for the lightweight to keep away from the clinches, for once Irt the clutch of Jaw or leg or web-flila ment the little fellow would be hope lessly outclassed, beaten and eaten. There was no gong to end the rounds, and finally the big spider, tired or discouraged, or both, and evidently badly hurt, made off and dived Into shallow water. To our amazement, the plucky wasp follow ed, dived after him and drove home a parting thrust which apparently pierced to the vitals, for the spider gave up the ghost and floated. The wasp, emerging quickly, angry as fiend incarnate, walked back and forth with feverish energy and snapping wings, as if daring the big boy to get up, but both fight and life seemed gone out of the spider, and the blue black wasp walked undisputed Insect champion of the sandv shore. ARTHUR L. PALMER. Omaha, for them and you should have seen those bright faces—of course the guard would turn away during that time, because things of that kind were not on the schedule, but that guard never had one runaway. So you can see that much can be done for the uplifting of those characters who are in jail, and sometimes they are real nice fellows, who willingly or unwillingly have done wrong, but take their sentence and look for bet ter days. To them especially It would be an encouragement If they could be employed and earn some money. So much then on these two sub jects; I could write more, but this will suffice. I am not a regular sub scriber to The Bee, but I receive the Evening Bee every evening through the paper boy. Of courss I shall be watching the progress of these two factors In the life of Omaha, and hope that a solution to these two great problems can be found real soon. I enjoy reading a dally which Is not taken up with politics In general In such a manner that it has no time for the very urgent needs at home. F ALB1N HEINZ. Speaking of Money Issues. Omaha—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee; Commenting editorially last evening on Uncle Sapi'i currency, you overlooked a splendid opportunity to ask why Uncle Sam issues the currency gratis to the usurers, while the editors, along with the public, must earn It by the sweat of their brows? Usurers are rewarded by Uncle Sam In the gift of money Is sues, then Uncle Sum borrows st In terest his own issue from the usurers. Uncle Sam pays 11.000,000,000 annual ly for the use of the money ho Issues gratis to the lenders of money. What Is the use taxing ourselves to edu cate the public when the result Is common idiocy7 A public whose gov ernment places the usurer, ths lender In preference to producer and con sumer Is the result of our educational system, that omits common sense avoids giving even Information, and It rails them educated citizens. They borrow their own money and do not know it. T. 8. FENLON. Against Reckless Driven. Omaha—To the Kdltor of The Oma ha Bee; Am very glad to gee your crusade against the reckless driver. Only a short time ago my car waa badly wrecked by a cgrelew* In dividual while It waa parked In front of the house. On Investigation It developed that the owner waa not responsible. He carried no Insurance, his house was heavily mortgaged, hla car was mort gaged and he claimed to be unable to make any adjustment. He said ho waa not driving the car himself, but bad loaned It to some one else, the identity of whom he was unable (or unwilling) to disclose. In addition to yntir plan for licens ing drivers, would It not be well to compel everyone owning a car to carry llnhlllty Insurance to protect against all damage to the other fel low done by his car? I carry It my sblf; If a man cannot afford It lie should not bo allowed to drive a car. MOTORIST. Brilliant lint Squelched. "Would you cnll Mrs. Gregory a good conversationalist?" "Ves ami no.

From tha Nebraska City Press. One suggestion to reduce automobile speed comes from a reader who saw the manufacturers of automobiles are to blame In that they are building cars which run too fast." Legislate against the automobile maker who is speed crazy," shrieks our correspond ent, "and make it a penitentiary of fense to fabricate an automobile that will run faster than 25 miles an hour." Another splendid little example of potential paternalism! Take the responsibility from the in dividual, who is responsible, and put It up to the legislature, congress, or the makers of motor vehicles! Razor blades are sharp. In a pinch they might be used with suicidal in tent. Pass laws requiring makers of razor filades to dull them so they won’t cut throats. Quns are dangerous and are used by murderers and "stickup men." Leg islate against the makers of guns and require them to manufacture only siich weapons as will shoot blank cartridges. Mules are tidy destroyers of human soul, properly placed. Missouri mule breeders should be prohibited by law from breeding Jackasses with hind legs. Paternalism! Paternalism! How many crimes are committed in thy name! It isn't the motor maker who is to blame for tho accidents on the high way, but the damfule who "lets 'er out" at the railroad crossing, the street crossing or the dangerous hill. Instead of legislating against the maker of automobiles, let's legislate against the man, or the woman, who hasn’t enough brains to sit behind a wheel. Then we will get somewhere. Tou cannot legislate honesty into the human soul. You cannot make men better husbands by passing laws against wife and child desertion. You cannot stop murder by electrocuting murderers. You cannot make men wise by establishing universities and colleges to be operated at public ex pense. You cannot make men decent by enacting "white slave" legislation. And you cannot eliminate the idiot at the steering wheel by curbing the output of automobiles, or reducing the gear ratios. Licensing drivers will help gome, but it will not eliminate all the dan ger. It is a matter for each individ ual to work out for himself, and it is a gigantic task the country faces with 12,000,000 automobiles In use and another million to be put on the roads between now and April I. if Henry Fords dream of motor ex pansion comes true. • M the Ijric IJve. From the Milwaukee Journal. From Ben Jonson's “Drink to me only with thine eyes,' 'to Bobbie Burns' simpler words, “My luv’s like a red, red rose," the love song has run the whole gamut of comparisons down to the latest contemporary youth who, fondly believing his nondescript voice is a baritone, shatters the eve ning'g calm by proclaiming to the* tingling stars, "Vc5u are a heavenly peach, my sweet." And yet President Creeden advises his students at Georgetown university, “Above all, don't write poems too ifften to young ladies? Why not? Is there any better way of studying English than with one's whole heart in it? Is there any greater urge toward considering na ture than when one must have a newer comparison for lips than ruby red, and one more felicitous than radishes? Or a less suggestive simile for divine accents than the song of a catbird? What knowledge of ancient classics has been gained by youths who looked to see what other poets had said of Helen or Cleopatra or Beatrice? Above all, what happier, cleaner hours are ever spent than those in which the heart drives the brain to find out, if It can, some fit language in which to picture this great new sweetness and light that flood it almost to oppression? Loud Voice Lifted for Kendrick. From the Buffalo, Wyo., Voice. Much has be> n said about the "east ern hare-foot boys," who in time rose to high and exalted places; much has been said about the mid-west "farm boy guiding the plow” through the long hot corn rows day after day, and, perhaps, later on in life becom ing prt sident of the United States. In the Rocky mountain regions, from the southern boundry of Texas to the Canadian border; from the Mississippi to the Pacific ocean, the west knows a Texas cowboy, who drove cattle for a big cow outfit from Texas to Wyoming when a mere lad. Lays and nights he spent in the sad dle, and beside the campfire in the cold and the wet—and carried with him, in an oil skin bag were a few \ precious books, chosen for him by a college friend Tall, lanky, and shaggy haired, but with a ke n eye and wit, well trained in the open spaces, he sat and read by the camp fire light his well chosen books, while his ices ambitious companions were spending the long evening hours in the never ending poker game. Step by step, from roundup fore man to president of the great West ern Stockmen s association, covering all of the territory west of the Mis sissippi river, the honor of the ap pointment and the magnitude and scope of the work of the association can hardly be grasped by the mind of the Manhattan islander; from state Senator of his own county to gov ernor of his state and later Unit'd states senator from the great, almost taxless state of Wyoming, with its "three, puny electoral votes.” Kendrick—the man whom the whole west reveres—the man to whom the people are turning for leadership. Not a narrow minded sectionalist, but a broad minded, keen thinking, clear sighted man, honored by the people he has served year after year, as was shown In the last election when he beat the “undefeatable” Mondell in fair and open political war fare and made his campaign talks without one disparaging r< ference to his opponent—and carried the state by 20 per cent of the votes cast, the greatest majority, accordingly, given Abe M artm \ A tin cup full o’ bootleg whisky makes a dandy tireless cooker.

It may be remembered that the • western frontier" made a Lincoln, when once before the people turned to an "honest Abe" from the then "fron tier” of Illinois. The 'western frontier" built a Roosevelt, a man whom the west mold d. helped to educate—and elect ed. The "western frontier" made a Ken drick. and today the nation, not one county, one state, or one section, the whole nation, is turning to a man of his type, independent, progressive In thought, progressive in spirit, pro gressive in endeavor, and unwavering in his service. The west is for Kendrick—the man. Unlike the territory east of the Hud son. it judges men by what they can accomplish, rather than by the num ber of votes they can pull. The west is for him, the whole west—and it has become no diminutive force wltK which to be reckoned. w If our advocacy of Senator Kend rick for president, after our know ledge of the man. seems like crude, western gasconading from the "wilds of Wyoming," to the New York Times and perhaps, to the whole province of N*ew York, itself, then let them make the most of it. Out of Place. Two actors were playing golf, and were novices at the game. Several '■ .zed divots of turf had been sent skyward, and when one unusually large piece departed from its native soil, one of the caddies turned to the other and whispered. "Did you tell me they were actors.
