Few of its phrases are purely discursive; he states conclusions, rather than arugments, and leaves no doubt as to his position. Emphatically he declares that the League of Na tions is a dead issue, saying, “The incident, so far as we are concerned, is closed.” With equal candor he pronounces in favor of the World Court, “with the proposed reservations clearly indicating our re fusal to adhere to the Leagui of Nations.” For Rus sia, he proposes that— “Whenever there appears any disposition to com pensate our citizens who were despoiled; and to recognize that debt contracted with our government, not by the czar, but by the newly "formed Republic of Russia; whenever the active spirit of enmity to our institutions is abated: whenever there appear works mete for repentance; our country ought to be the first to go to the economic and moral rescue of Russia. We have every desire to help, and no de sire to injure. We hope the time Is near at hand when we can act." Debts owed by foreign governments to the United States ought to be paid. If necessary, arrangements such as made with Great Britain will be entered into with other governments, but payment is expected. The government is earnestly assisting in the adjust ment of private claims against Germany, and the work is progressing well. Mr. Coolidge refers to thfe efforts made to assist in reaching a settlement of the reparations claims, which failed because of the atti tude of France, and says: “We shall persevere in well doing, not by force, but by reason.” • • * The Mellon plan for reducing taxation is ap proved, and congress is urged to readjust the rate on earned incomes and to do away with admission, message and nuisance taxes. - Excess profits taxes are war taxes, and should not be continued into peace times, the president states. He also advises a con stitutional amendment to do away with tax free se curities of any kind, that wealth may not go into hiding. On the tariff he advises hands off, relying on the provision that gives the president the power to make adjustments to the extent of 60 per cent of existing schedules. Until the commerce of the world is re stored, the merchant marine will continue to be operated by the Shipping board, and the nation must pay the deficit. One of the striking and encouraging recommenda tions of the message deals with the resumption of work, "in a moderate way," on the improvement of the internal waterways of the country. He especially commends the Mississippi valley streams, and the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway, that the Atlan tic may be brought nearer to the center of produc tion. This endorsement was scarcely expected in »o definite a form, and should give heart to those who have become weary of waiting for the relief the great projects will bring to regions that are now burdened by heavy cost of getting to market. • • * As to the railroads, the president in effect recom mends that the Esch-Cummins act be not disturbed, at least until the supreme court has decided on the provision with regard to the disposition of excess tarnings. The Labor hoard has not produced the effect desired, but until a “substantial agreement is reached among the groups interested,” and that agreement enacted into law, “the Labor board may very well be left for the present to protect the pub lic welfare. Consolidation is regarded by the presi lent as “the only feasible method” by which to main lain adequate transportation service and provide op portunity for adjustment of freight .rates to meet, temporary conditions such as exist in the agricultural •egions today. “Competent authorities agree that m entire reorganization of the rate structure for freight is necessary. This should be ordered at once by the congress.” The president’s program for the relief of agricul ture deserves and will receive separate treatment He outlines several specific remedies that will require a continuing program. For the immediate help of the wheat raiser and stock grower, he says: "It seems feasible to provide government assist ance to exports, and authority should be given the War Finance corporation to grant, In Its discretion, the moat liberal terms of payment for fats and • grains exported for the direct benefit of the farms." Muscle Shoals should be sold, subject to the privilege of retake In event of war; the secretary of the interior should be given full authority to grant needed relief to settlers on reclamation projects; re forestation should be encouraged, and the highway program continued, to the end that the whole coun try may be benefited by the government’s activity in this direction. see Soldiers should have the most liberal treatment, and the congress is urged to study carefully the pro gram of the American Legion to this end. “But I am opposed to a bonus,” says the president. A department of education in the cabinet is one of the national needs, and immigration should con tinue to be even more restricted than at present, under rules that require examination abroad, and practical refusal to receive any who are unfit and do not declare in advance their intent to become citi zens. “Those who do not want to be partakers of the American spirit ought not to settle in America,” says the president, a sentiment that will have general approval Prohibition is to be made more effective by a swifter and surer pursuit of those who violate the law. A stringent anti-lynch law Is advised, and greater help for the negroes in agriculture and for iha proper training of those who seek professional education. The message concludes with a rededication of the nation to the principles of the Monroe doctrine, and a pledge to continue to work to establish peace among all nations and do away with war between any. It is a frank, lucid declaration of the views of the chief executive as to the needs of the nation, and •s such deserves close study by all. GOVERNOR. WHY THE HESITANCY? The case of the Cass county and Plattsmouth city officials bids fair to become something more than a local affair. The action of Judge Begley in appoint ing a special prosecuting attorney and refusing to allow the elected prosecutor to appear before him, because of having been indicted by a grand jury, shows that the dignity of the court is to be preserved. But an indicted sheriff has served warrants of ar rest on offenders indicted by the same grand jury that brought in presentments against him, while an indicted chief of police wears his badge and whittles matches in the court room. Years ago, when the Sackett law was passed, It was to hold over the heads of recalcitrant local of ficials the threat of removal by the governor. When Mr. Bryan came into office, thia, law was altered to give the governor authority to appoint the successor to any officer he might remove. Under the old law, the appointing power was vested in the county com missioners, or city or village council. Governor Bryan declines to move, because he says he was not advised as to the sentiment of the people who are affected. This brings up the ques tion as to whether the governor is required to await e. petition to enforce the law, or if he can move when apprised of a situation that demands attention. Many who supported Governor Bryan at the polls because of his announced intention to observe the proper enforcement of all laws at all times are amazed at the hesitancy with which he contemplates the Cass county situation. Maybe after the courts have proceeded a little farther down there the ex ecutive will see his way clear to act, but just now the Sackett law evidently does not appeal to him. BIG BROTHERS TO THE POOR. It costs so little to make some child happy at Christmas, and the small investment pays such enormous dividends, that it is a wonder more men do not invest. Nebraska, blessed above the average of the states, will see many children, many a hope less widowed mother, wondering if God has forgotten when Christmas day dawns, unless out of their abundance Nebraska men and women come to the rescue to make Christmas a fact and Santa Claus a living entity. Very few of us but what can find just around the comer those to whom Christmas will be a mock ery unless they be searched out by men and women who are not content to spend a selfish Yuletide while others starve and freeze. And it is a mighty selfish man or woman indeed who can sit down to a bounti ful Christmas repast, with expensive gifts piled high on every side, and give no thought to the poor we always have with us. Christmas in this great republic would be worth while if there could come to every American Scrooge the vision that came to Dickens’ famous character. The smiles of widows would outshine the Christmas ^un, and the laughter of orphaned children would make the sweetest Christmas carols ever sung sound tame in comparison. If you would make your own Christmas happier, if you would make Christmas a genuine season of peace and good will, if you would double your Christmas joys by sharing them with others, begin planning right now to carry Christmas and its mes sage into homes Santa Claus will miss unless you act as his guide and almoner. Make it one of your Christmas joys to carry a bit of Christmas cheer into the homes of the poor and needy. The knowledge that you have made Christmas happy for some one to whom Christmas would have been a mockery but for you, will be the best appetizer possible for your own Christmas dinner. If you have never tried it, take the prescription this year. • Larry Denise was once tennis champion of Oma ha. He is now coming back as the Rev. Larimore Denise, D. D., to be president of the Presbyterian seminary. Shows what a good athlete can do. German socialists have decided to support the new governmept, the alternative being to go home and face the voters. Many an American congress man can sympathize with them. Three months ago the Pacific coast towns had “never heard of Volstead,” but Izzy Einstein is in-, troducing the old gentleman very generally to the happy fives out that way. Maybe if some of those old Bibles had been used as persistently as they might have been, they would long since have gone the way of most of man’s works. Kenesaw Mountain Landis didn’t worry about the Omaha baseball club while in this vicinity, thereby aligning himself with a majority of the residents. Judge Djneen’s proposed parade of speeders ought at least to be educative, both to those who participate and those who only look on. The weather may be dry, but that is no good rea son why any boy or girl should go to school barefoot. Come into the Free Shoe fund. The South Dakota primary was not so exciting as that of 1919, but it probably settled just as much. Conviction of old Doe Cook did some good, for 19 other defendants have since pleaded guilty. Mrs. Catt at least knows what she wants, and is not afraid to tell. British voters certainly made fuss enough over their election. To congress: Let’s go!

Hush—was that a call, borne on the whispering breeze, from lands beyond the seas. To where I lie, In my low, narrow bed? W'as that a voice that said: Who speaks for France? Who speaks for France? We hear the call and Come, from silent tomb to speak for France. From many nations did we come, Acrpss the foam—we gave our all, and here we lie, For Justice, not for France, to die. We speak for France. Our blood we shed, and made this soil a consecrated land. Our bodies here are lain, In France's fields, 'neath popples red; Red as the blood we shed; Ous spirits they at last are free, afar to roam, In other lands that we had once called home. We speak for France. We speak for France, and our blood cries Aloud, from Flanders fields. What we have died to gain—how dare Ye yield and traitors prove? Aye: E'en the stones would speak and scorn the tread Of those who desecrate the living dead. Our spirits call on every wind that blows— We speak for France. We are the souls of all the slain, called from the earth. In life's sweet dawning May: Had we loved self and pleasure more than duty. Where would your loved ones bs to day? We lived, end loved, and laughed amid the valleys; We sang and Joyed upon the sunny plain; We once were men! Oh, have we died in vain? We speak for France. KERLIN MYERS. A Strange Combination. Ainsworth, Neb.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: It la certainly a novel and Intereatltig eight to see the Wall street groups and the high church officials and clergymen work ing hand in hand to ml* this govern ment in European affairs and the League of Nations. It must be admitted that this com bination makes a strong fighting team, and the real and fi|fl-blooded Americans will do well to take notice and prepare to meet this onslaught. Of rtmrse these two groups work from different motives. The former works for better opportunities to exploit the European countries and enrich them selves, ostensibly for the good of the people of those countries, and the lat ter work for better opportunities for Improving the morals and changing the religions of the people of those countries. What a glorious thing It is to have our moral duty and our finan cial Interests hiend so beautifully. That the former will succeed. If given a chance, no one can seriously doubt, but that the latter would suc ceed. history would say. remains In doubt. These Wall street groups have made large loans to most of these coun tries. The papers tell us the J. P. Morgan group have made a loan of 125.000,000 to Austria. *150,000,000 to Boland, and *10,000,000 to Rumania: the Standard Oil group has loaned *100,000,000 to Serbia, and Kuhn, Loeb St Co. are now negotiating large loans to Czecho-Slovakia and Hungary. In connection with all this loans, these financiers are exacting large nnd Important concessions from these European countries and limited con trol of their railroads, mines, forests Daily Prayer Ood Mid, Ask whst I shsll sirs the#.— 1 Kings I t.

We are unable to give definite figures, Only that we know a couple of men who wouldn't, and didn’t, Fletch being the other one. • • • Noting that The Omaha Bee pub lished a picture of the new Jail in Clay Center, Fred Howard of tfee Sun says his town has several churches old enough to be the grand-daddy of the Jail, but they will have to be content with an occasional post card as a pub licity medium. * • * The York News-Times is suspicious that big business is doing some squeez ing in a financial way in order to exert an unfavorable effect on the adjusted compensation proposal. » * • The Greeley Citizen notes that it Is becoming altogether too common for boys of 15 and 16 to get hold of,booze and get ail tanked up, but it does not ask for some more laws. The Citizen suggests that well seasoned hickory clubs in the hands of fathers pos sessing real backbone would be the proper solution. Instructions have been given an organizer of the Bed slat club to visit Greeley and get busy. • • * Adam Breede of the Hasting Tribune declares that the demand for light wines and beer is growing rapidly. Thousands will Join in the hope that Adam's thirst will not become too ex cruciatlng. • * • Ole Buck, philosopher that he 1b, asserts in the Harvard Courier that "we can have no proper respect for the law until the laws are made rea sonable and few enough so it will\be possible to obey them." • • • "Where are the nine?" shrieks the Grand Island Independent. Usually, Gus, they are sitting around giving advice to the one who Is really trying to do something. • • • The Pierce Call advises Charley Bryan to run for governor again. It is to be feared that the Call has an Ulterior Motive. It asks why the gov ernor Isn't reducing taxes according to promise. The Leigh World advise* the repeal of the eugenic marriage law and the., enactment of a uniform marriage law by all the states. • • • The Leigh World should get Its Ne braska geography on straight. It says that Mathers and Purcell are both from Scotts Bluff county. That Is cal culated to brlngAjrth a shriek of pro test from Puree™ of Custer. • • • Having put the family car »Jn the garage for the winter, Joe Alden of the York Republican advises people to walk more. "We have been riding too far and too fast," asserts Josej»h. "Let's walk and get better acquainted with each other.” • • • G#ne Westervely declares In the Scottsbluff Republican that no man is really big enough to be president of all the people when he bases his can didacy on sectional lines. And Gene was looking right straight at Senator Undprwood when he said It. and other Industries, of their rev enues and customs under government control. Does any one think that after these countries have somewhat recovered from tHelr present financial embar rassments that the people will not rise up and try to modify or relieve them selves of these harsh terms and finan cial bondage? When that time comes. It will re quire but a weak stretch of the Imagination to hear these financiers crying for government help to save these Investments; and a still less stretch of Imagination would hear our government dispatching battleships to these countries—ostensibly, to pro tect the Interests of these financiers and adventurers, who are not satisfied with the returns for Invested capital In this, their own country. This would be a mighty good time for this government to rise up In its might and say, loudly, to these finan cial Adventurers that If ,you are not satisfied to invest your money In en terprises In your own country and place It In foreign countries for great er gains to yourselves, then you will have to take your own risk In col lecting, and not rely upon this gov ernment. or Its navy, to act as col lecting agents for you. And while they are at It, It might be well to notify these high church of ficials and clergymen that this gov ernment Is not extensively engaged In propagating morals ami religions In other countries as a government enterprise, and, thnt they will have lo take their chances and obey the laws and not ask for special privileges or stir up strife against the social order and political conditions In the coun tries where they locate and operate; and, after all. If It's the best religion that makes the best moral and law abiding citizens, then some work might be found right here at home. If this combination aucceeds In causing this nation to become a mixer In European policies and affairs, both classes could hardly expect to gain their alms, as the force required to make dollars and hlg Incomes safe In these exploited countries would de stroy the Influence of the other class as m»rat and religious reformers, and history would only repeat Itself and the moral crusade become a failure. Much more benefit would result If these two classes would unite and Join hands in efforts of upbuilding here at home. Brisbane, whan asked what course this governmet ought to pursue to ward the quarrels and affairs of Eu rope, answered: "Mind our own bust ness and keep ready." That's the best essay on peace that l have seen. It covets the entire ground and la thoroughly American. I,. K. ALDER. “From State and Nation” —Editorials from Other Newspapers— Boy* and "White Mule." From thr "Ireeley Citizen. From all around us we hear com plaints of boys drinking moonshine liquor. It Is the same everywhere. U Is a sad condition of affairs. Pro hibition, we fear, lias not proven to be a good thing for our boys. "White mule" seems to go hand in hand with the dances of today. No matter how respectable the dance, there usually are a few lads under the Influence of liquor. How are we to cope with, this new problem? Shall we call upon the of ficers of the law? Shall we prosecute tr.-ere boys? Shall we put them in jail? We believe not. We believe it Is a matter for fathers with backbone to solve. We believe a good old hickory club oftentimes will prove effective. We believe fathers should attend the dances their children attend, and when some young fellow puts In an appearance while under the influence of liquor to see that he is thrown out. Kor after all, parents should be the predominating factor In bringing about an observance of the laws of God and of country. Flaxseed In Demand. From the Salt Lake Tribune. With an estimated flaxseed crop of 11.700.000 bushels In 1922, the United States produced less than one-third Its domestic requirements. In 1923. the estimated production of 19,400,000 bushels will be less than 50 per cent of the estimated requirements, calcu lated on the same basis as the net supply for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1923. If therefore, our require ments for the current fiscal year are equal to those of last year. It means that.%t least 20,000,000 bushels of flax seed, or Its oil equivalent, will be Im ported Into the United States from abroad. Flaxseed Is essentially a pioneer crop, thriving on the frontier and moving with it. The most Important flax producing region In the United States Is at the present time In the northern Great Plains area, embrac ing the states of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana. In 1922 these four states produced 11.385.000 bushels, or 98 per cent of the total flaxseed production of the United States. In 1923 the estimated production of these four states is 19. 036.000 bushels, or 99 per cent of the estimated flaxseed crop of the United States. Whether the United States can pro duce a sufficient quantity of flaxseed to meet its own requirements depends not only upon the amount of suitable land available for the raising of flax seed, but also upon the relation be tween the cost of production of flax seed and other farm products and the prices received for them, not to mention the tArlff. transportation costs and other competitive factors that enter Into the consideration of this problem. The 1923 flaxseed crop In the United State* is officially esti mated at 19,400,000 bushels In the September forecast. This Is an in crease of 7.732,000 busnels, or 66 per cent, over the 1922 crop, and will be the largest crop since 1912. when the flaxseed crop was officially esti mated at 28,073 000 bushels. Prior to 1912 for a perlodt>f 13 years the esti mated production varied from 17,718, 000 bushels to 29,285,000 bushels, an annual average production of 23,105. 692 ushels. From 1913 to 1922, the estimated production varied from 7, 256.000 bushels to 17,853 000 bushels, or an average annual production dur ing that period of 12,022,000 bushels. IJmlt the Visas. From the Washington (Star. On the eve of the opening of con gress many steamships are dashing for American ports with alien throngs aboard to land before the quotas are exhausted. They serve to emphasise the need of an orderly and fair sys tem by which Immigrants ir.«y tie ad mitted to the United States under the existing quota law. Congress will lie called upon to wrestle with the Immigration ques tion. Already a number of plaits have been advanced to put an end to the conditions which today menace Immi grants. immigrant stations and steamship companies. Immigrants with properly vised passports are turned back because quotas have been exhausted. Steamship companies are compelled to pay heavy fines for bringing these immigrants to Ameri can shores, and the officials at Kills Island, for example, are under a tre mendous strain during the first days of each month because of the hordes deposited there. A plan must be devised and put Into effect which will do away with these hazards. It may be that It will require a disastrous collision, with heavy loss of me. perhaps during a foggy night off New York harbor, be tween vessels racing for port in an effort to get their alien passenger!^ "under the wire" before the quotas are closed. Procrastination has been responsible for disasters of many kinds in the past. Proposals have been put forward that examinations of immigrants should be held on the other side of the Atlantic ocean. Such a system would result in a better selection of Immigrants and of future Americans A Handy Place to Eat Hotel Gonant IMh end Harney— Omaha The Center of Convenience Cranberries are economical They are easy to prepare and there is no waste.

If the number of passport* were so divided, then the prospective Immigrant who received a passport in December for use in May would be assured of admission into the United States, provided he complied with all the requirements of the Immigration laws, whether he was landed in the United States the first day or the last day of May. Under such a system the perils of deportation because quotas had been exceeded would vanish. The steamship companies would not be compelled to race for port, imperiling the lives of the passengers and crews. In order to avoid penalties which they must fare if they bring aliens In ex cess of the quotas. Dolls for Boys—Harvard Notion. From the Brooklyn Basis. Sex equality in toys is a delightful topic of discussion for any debating society in the land. It has a special timely suggestion as Yuletld© ap proaches. Yet Is there a certain shock In the Insistence of Prof. George E. Johnson of Harvard's graduate school that dolls should he bought for small boys as well as for their small sisters—"It is probable that more play with girl dolls by boys would tend to make them more sym pathetic with girls, as children, If not more tender with their wives and with women, later. . . . Boys will play with dolls just as well as their little sisters, until they are told that boys should not do such things. Dolls educate the heart and will even more than the intellect.’• What undergraduate Harvard wants to know is whether doll playing would tend to make better football players. If so. It would perhaps ex plain away Harvard's t recent dis asters on the gridiron, and offer a remedy for the future. Likewise the youthful cynic can't help painting In his mind's eye a pic ture of what Theodore Roosevelt. Harvard's greatest graduate, would have been like If he had been brought up on dolls. Even as a small child he was mighty bad material for the development of a "mollycoddle." He had the earliest possible yearning for a strenuous life. Wooden or tin soldiers, swords, guns, drums and (tiny bugle horns along with the Inevitable hobby horse have been the traditional toys for boys. Nobody has yet attempted to substitute "lay ballot boxes.

For the convenience of frequenters of a municipal park In Spjcln, a small open air public library has been erected, which supplies them with reading matter free of charge. It Is attended by a policeman who. each morning and evening, opens and closes the shelves. Visitors heip themselves to any vol umes they desire, sit down on the benches under palm trees, and, after having enjoyed their reading, return the books.
