V_J WHEAT TARIFF UP TO PRESIDENT. Slowly the cast is waking up to what is taking place in the west. Evidence is ample, however, that the exact situation ha* not yet been fully sensed, particularly in congress, where the passage of the Williamson hill, to lay a duty of 50 cents per bushel on imported wheat, hus been held up by eastern representatives. This puts the matter up to the president, who has power under the law, on ad vice of the tariff commission, to increase any duty schedule by 50 per cent; such an increase would raise the duty on wheat to 45 cents per bushel. Mr. Coolidge is aware of (he farmers’ plight, as he showed by his'recommendations in his message to congress in December, and further by his special message to congress last week, in which he proposed that the War Finance corporation be authorized to make loans to the end of this year. He also urged that railroads and bankers make concessions to the. distressed farming sections, to relieve the stringency as much as possible. It is now squarely up to the president to do something more that will be helpful. He should use his power to increase t|je wheat tariff as soon as the report of the commission is in his hands. Con gress is not in position to act. Therefore the presi dent should. The tariff commission is aware of the emergency, and will undoubtedly advise the execu tive of the need for the increase. Prompt favorable action on such a recommendation will be of untold v^lue to the central west. Relief through the War Finance corporation, the Federal Resefve bankj and other similar agencies does not remove the cause of the disease. The farmer can be tided over by the loans proposed, but he can not be saved unless he can sell his products at a price that will give him a return for his labor. Additional tariff on wheat will do this. An appeal is now being made to the White House from a great section of the agricultural in dustry. Relief that is urgent is asked for. The wheat farmers of the west responded to the call of the country for food when we were at war. Now that the wheat farmer needs help, he should not be forgotten. That is why we believe the president will extend the aid that is asked for by using his au thority to increase the tariff on foreign grown wheat, and aave the home market for the home farmer. NO POLITICS IN PROSECUTION. President Coolidge’* decision to proceed against the oil land grafters as criminals is only what the country might reasonably expect. He has shown his high quality of moral courage in other trying situa tions. The man who took the oath of office as pres ident in a little farmhouse sitting room, by the light of a kerosene lamp, with his own father, a notary public, pronouncing the solemn words, is not likely to falter in face of duty. And the country has need of his stern New Eng land conscience just now. Out of the war has come a long aeries of transactions more or les* question able; the oil acandal is merely the last, though, per haps, the most notorious. In the letdown that fol lowed the cessation of war activities came such a relaxation of the general morale as amounted to a lowering of public morals to an incredible depth. Men who were trusted and placed in high position have proved themselves unworthy of trust, have be trayed the people, and have robbed the government under the convenient guise of war practice carried into peace times. This taint has spread through all grades of so ciety, into every ramification of business, until the social structure is threatened. It is time that the cleaning-up process were started. Actually it was begun under Mr. Harding, when the prosecution of war profiteers was commenced. Mr. Coolidge will ?arry on and sec to it that the public justioc and na tional honor is amply vindicated. For those purblind partisans who seek to derive political capital or advantage from the situation as it stands, only profound pity can he felt. If one party had a monopoly on private honesty, and the other possessed all the crooks, then the case would be clear enough to the people, and the pleas that come from partisan sources would he unnecessary. President Coolidge ha* asked that the prosecution of the great offender* he carried on not as a party issue, but as a high civic duty in which all good citi zens are concerned. Maintenance of national honor should not be a factional undertaking. We believe that the American people have confidence in Calvin Coolidge and believe that he will do what i* right, regardless of any consideration of political expediency. We also believe that those who are trying to stir up factional strife by partisan appeals in this crisis are making a mistake. This is not a party question, but one that affects the entire United States. Such flagrant misconduct as is laid at the door of Fall, Sinclair, Doheny and others transcends ordinary crime, and surely deserves the sternest of justice, and this we believe the president will sec meted out. NATION LIKES ITS WORKOUTS In distinct contrast to other drives for college stadiums and sport Helds is that being carried on at the University of Arizono. Down there a day has been set apart on which the faculty and student body will devote the time to the preparation of the Held whereon the sports of the institution are to be carried on. Learned doctors, masters and bachelors of arts, letters or science, doffed cap and gown and donned overalls. Along with the cocky freshmen, the superwite sophomores, the studious juniors and the sophisticated seniors, co-eds and all, they will dig post holes, mix concrete, remove superfluous dirt, level the grades and get everything ready for the first meat. It Is good to note this. One thing the war did ‘ for America was to revive interest in physical ex ercise. We had, as a nation, come to e place where we were taking our field sports vicariously. Snappy young men were employed to play baseball for the edification of a multitude whose exertion was con fined to the seventh inning stretch. Other sports were assimilated in the same fashion. Golf alone pulled people out into the open, and, whatever else may be said of it. the game has that one great service to the othwise sedentary. Then came the war, and millions of proud youth found themselves unfiit for service they would like to perform because they were physically undevelopd. Those who did get in had to undergo a rigorous course of. setting up and the like. Hut it made bet ter men of them. Now the whole nation is getting some good of the awakening, for more than ever in the history of the land people ore doing something for themselves in the way of physicial exercise. Proceedings at University of Arizona are but a sign of what is going on everywhere. POLITICS IN PLENTY AT HOME. Nebraskans meed not look to Europe for politics any longer. We have plenty looming up right at home... Two events of last week insure a really in teresting period between now and primary day in April. One of these is the formal entry of Iliram Johnson as a presidential candidate contesting for the delegation to the Cleveland convention. The other is the announced candidacy of George W. Norris to succeed himself as senator. Both of these events had been anticipated. The campaign could not be fairly said to have opened however until the hats were in the ring. In con nection with the Johnson declaration interest turns on the selection of Senator Sandall of York county to be chairman of the committee that will look out for the Californian’s interest. Frank Harrison, who has heretofore led the Johnson hosts in Ne braska may or not figure in the contest. Sandall’s presence supports the promise that it will be a lively one. The Norris announcement indicates that the senator has resolved his indecision in decision, and that he will try to establish a precedent. No roan in the history of Nebraska has ever held a third term as governor or as United States senator. Some very able men have sought a third election to the senate, always to be defeated. Senator Norris may fare differently. He has not been bound by other precedents or rules, weitten or unwritten. There is no good reason to expect that he will submit to that which has hitherto denied the third term to those who have served in the senate. Charles W. Bryan’s determination to run for governor forecloses the nomination contest op that side of the fence. His wavering did not especially embarrass anybody, for the quest of either office to which he aspired is not an especially attractive one in Nebraska this year. Close as the state may be in a general way, republican prospects were never better than now. With Mathers and McMullen aspir ing to be governor, and Sloan contesting with Norris for the senatorial plum, the state ticket is certain to have strength at the top. Organizers of victory are at work in all camps, aspirants for office are coming out into the open, and everything points to a program that will enter tain the voters until the last (J^.v of the primary campaign. May the best man win! BONDS FOR RIVERSIDE DRIVE. If Omaha is ready to contemplate another bond issue for the purposes of making great public im provement, the one to establish the riverside boulevard should be favored. The plan is not a new one. When Ed Cornish was member of the park board, a quarter of a century ago, he advocated the building bf the drive. Rome Miller, when he was on the park board, also championed the work. Our boulevard system as it how exists is largely due to the efforts of these men. Vet they did not see their work prosper to completion for lack of public support. One of the conspicuous services of the city planning board has been to complete a survey for the proposed riverside drive. It contemplated the condemnation of certain strips of property along the east side of the present street, to afford room for the winding road that will follow the contour of the hills and*ravines, providing a path for those who drive for pleasure. The main thoroughfare would be left open to those who are in a hurry when they go out for a ride. Iraneus Schuler, chairman of the board at present, is heartily in favor of the drive. All who are familiar with the location know how lovely the prospect is from any of the bluffs be tween Riverview park and Child's Point. Experts who have overldoked the route say no more beauti ful vistas arc known than open along what ought to be Omaha’s greatest pride, Kansas City spent roil lions to acquire what is available to Omaha for only a few thousands. The only point at issue is one the voters must decide, whether it is good judgment to vote the bonds now. One thing is sure, the drive will be a great acquisition to the scheme of the city beauti ful, and it will never cost less than at the moment. “Does the public know what it wants?" queries the New York Independent. Maybe not, but it does know that if It did want anything it wouldn’t be very likely to get it. The democratic convention two-thirds rule mere ly means that the lesser candidates make it a battle royal, the real objective being to eliminate the main contender. • Now Uncle Sam will take a hand in trying to cure Claude Hossie of the desertion habit. The Mann act Was created for those who fail to act the man. — - - • — Among other reasons nbt given by Governor Bryan for his decision to run for governor and not for senator are George W. Norris and Charles Sloan. If congressional tergiversation were commercial fertilizer, Muscle Shoals could be wiped off the map without resultant loss to agricultural interests. Do^eney admits he loaned Albert M. hall $100, 000, but says it was just a friendly transaction. Wonder is that he can recall such trifles. If Mr. Doheney treats all his friends that way, he ought to have little trouble in extending his list. Line forms on the right. About the first evidence of statesmanship Magnus Johnson has offered is his declaration that, “we have too many doggone laws now.” This is the season of the year when we are ex pected to worry because baseball stars refuse to sign contract-', but wo don't. Peter the CreHt made a city in a swamp; Lenin i lado a swamp of the city. Maybe that is why it is now to be called “Leningrad." The trouble with several starters on the presi dential track is that they lind too many bloc system signals aet against them. / ' “The People’s N Voice” Editorial* from reader* of The Morning Bee.

Sih'er Creek, Neb.—To the editor of The Omaha Bee; 1 am for the bonus because It's simply justice and there need be no other argument in Its favor. There are quite a number of us bonus seekers- in tills state and nation. We haven't Wall street's money but are a factor juRt the same. If you would like an honest man's opinion of the bonus read the speech of January 1«. in the United States sen ate by Senator McLeun of Connecti cut. Senator McLean, it might lie re marked, is a republican and a conser vative. His natural alliances and sympathies are with the big business interests that are conducting the antibonus propaganda. He is not playing for re-election us *his term doesn't expire for several yeurs. Ho is simply taking his stand for com mon justice. The republican party needs more man of ids caliber in office and the unpatriotic ex service men with the help of their wives and relatives will no doubt see that they get there. M. J. YOUNOSTRUM. From the South to Western I-arms. Omaha.—To the Kditor of I lie Omaha Bee: Owing to the migration of many people of color from the south, and which migration seems destined to continue as long as Jim crowlam, lawlessness and poor public school system exists In Dixie, it seems befitting that a word about the adapt ability of these people might be men tioned. * The great majority of these people are farmers by nature and by train ing. They love the farm and would gladly resume the farmer's life If a feasible plan could be effected; that is. a provision for their entrance upon the farms, etjual to the provisions made by industrial centers. Because of the unbearable conditions surround ing southern form life, many of them leave the southern farms, drift Into the nearest towns, cities and public works, save up their railroad fare and bid Dixieland adieu. They come as a blessing to the north and to the west. The docility, faithfulness and adaptability- portray ed in the jockey of Barney Google's Spin k Plug are not without founda tion. The colored m.en’s physical fit ness. Industry and ability to absorb new Ideas Is unsurpassed by any peo ple. He has made good with the in dustrial centers, and in time the in dustrial centers will become over crowded. The influx, from this source, adds large numbers to the consumers' list, and but a scant few to the list of producers. Very soon this condi tion must receive the attention of the north, east ahd west. If a tinanclal crisis like the one of 1S93, or even as in 1913, should come, one can easily imagine the plight of great industrial centers of the north and west. On the other hand. If a large percentage of our colored migrants can be lo cated on the alluvial farm lands of the west, a crisis or other disaster may be greatly minimized. As one who was born and reared on the plantations of the south and has studied characteristics of the col ored farmer, 1 can safely say tha’ if the people of the north, east and west do their bit in locating the colored people on the farm, they will benefit all concerned, and the nation under God will sccelerate Us strides along the highway of prosperity and move onward and upward in a genuine democracy such as the world has not known heretofore. .1. D. CItl'M. Assistant Pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church. Parting Salute to Lenin. Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee; "I read in the “People's Voice” column a letter entitled "A Tribute to Lenin.” and I wondered what manner of man would utter such blasphemy. I have heard and read some outrageous .screeds, but coupling the name of that unspeak able butcher with that of Christ, the man of sorrows. Is unspeakable and should cause flie ghost of every mur dered priest, minister and bishop, every ravished woman, every starved child to rise from their beds of quick lime in some cellar of bloody Russia and call out to a Just God for ven geance. • i Lenin waa sent to Russia by Ger man Intrigue after the egnr waa over thrown by a comparatively bloodless revolution, and at once managed to overthrow a moderate government^ Then he proceeded to complete hla bargain with Germany 1-T the In famous treaty of peace with entente which allowed Germany to withdraw a million soldiers and swing them on the western part.' loiter he broke Ihe chain by whl^-h Germany* beld him and proceeded to gl\e an exhibition of a mad dog run loose.

Some are di-ai^s of colleges, some are mechanics, some are journalists. These are only a few of the many who dare to use and expresa what is real education. So! “What good Is an education to a n^n or woman when they are not allowed to use it?" WILLIAM J. BODA. Darwin Ail Wrong. Council Bluff*—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Mr. Arthur Brisbane says the proof ia overwhelming that our modern hen le the direct de scendant of the ■'dinosaur.'- or some »uch creature and calls upon Mr. Bryan to note the fact. The proof I* no more convincing than is the evidence that the great great grandfather of Mr. Brisbane, or further back, ns he may wish to place It. was a monkey or a jack ass. In fact I can with some re.idi ness believe tho latter hypothesis, but Mr. Brisbane overtaxes his mem ory when he recalls events of 100,000, 000 yesrs in the past. As Bill Nye said. "The older scientists do not u*e the tracks of the hydrosaurlus and the cornucopia to obtain their data a* to the age of the world. They only use these things to refresh their memory.” The wisdom of nun is foolishness with Clod. "The weakness of <iod Is stronger than men. and the foolish ness of <iod Is wiser than men." the Scriptures truthfully state. Of all the pitiable, wretched Idiocy of lost humanity the Darwin idea of our origin ranks flrstr Any really sane person, who would allow his Clod given understanding to speak for one moment must know that the whole Darwin theory as to origin of mankind Is utterly absurd. foolish and Impossible. I'nllke and opposed absolutely to any anti everything which any human being ever saw or felt or knew. The so-called scientist who recently reported his great discovery was far wiser than our modern "evolution ists." He claimed that by crossing a silk worm with a gait»r snake silk gaiters were produced. Infinitely more sensible Is this than the Idea that man sprang from a monkey. At least In this Instance iif have something definite ns a starting place. i’lllnble Indeed is the person who can think of himself gs » de scendant of the monkey or the agio family, hut sin caused man to lose the knowledge of O.od. and this modern Idea Is the supreme degrada tion to which lie has descended since the tragedy of tin separated him from his creator, The newspapers give too much space to this Idiotic doctrine, and I feel like suggesting that The Bee would he gi-eatlv Improved hy ellm Inatlng It to r great extent, If not a! together _T,. II MOS'iid E. _ i \ “From State and Nation” —Kditorials from Other y^ Newspapers^—_j The Oil I*ease In I’olificv?». From the Washington Star. Jt is evident from current develop ments that the democrats in congress, with approval and active aid of the democratic national committee, are setting out to make a live iiolltical and campaign issue out of the leasing of naval reserve oil in the Teapot Dome field to private Interest!. Scan dalous and corrupt acts of officials arc alleged In congress and echoed by the national committee through its pub licity bureau, while democratic news* papers ail over the land are taking up the subject. Everybody re m*1 rn tiers the disaster1 to the republican party indirectly and directly resultant from the Ballinger Pinchot controversy over conserva tion. The democratic camxiaigners are bringing In conservation as another angle to the current undertaking. In addition to the charges of scandal they seek to attach to the leasing. It would seem to the layman In poli tics that if there is foundation for these charges It were part of politi cal w isdom for the republicans to have anticipated the democratic drive which Is now on by declaring for the fullest investigation of the allegations with an authoritative announcement of the government's intention to prosecute the guilty. If Buch there be. The case should not be made the football of politics. The whole coun try Is Interested In It from the view point of public morals. Peace After a Strike Year. From the N»w Tork Melt. The cost of the strike method of settling industrial disputes is made manifest in the report published by the New York state labor department on the losses.of 1923. It appears that during the year 122.179 persons were involved in such troubles and the number of days that they were Idle mounted up to 1,009,520. This is an average of about nine dava' work per person, and no matter how low we rate the pay that was forfeited. It must have been a serious handicap to all. while the grand total would l>e staggering if put into fig ures. Besides this loss, there is the loss to the employers on the turn* over of their labor, on idle machinery, on capital unemployed The year waa rather a had one. There were 109 strikes as against 90 In 1922. It ended with Improvement, however. December was a month of Industrial peace. The better state of things continues in the present month and the outlook for 1921 ts favorable. There is no strike now in effect and none In sight: the building trades have one by one l.een signing two-year con ! tracts and peace seems to le in the air. A report of the Federal department on a survey of the states confirm* other reviews of conditions recently made. There is quite an unusual con dition of steady employment and the outlook for 1921 la specified as being excellent. No pessimistic word came from any slate. , The only sign of trouble now recog nisable is the unsettled rendition among the soft coal miners. Hopes are strong that tills will be settled by negotiation. Indeed} a eyrie of peace ful adjustment scents to have devel oped In the labor field. It is to t*« hoped that no unreason will disturb It* operation for a long time to come. "Studying Conditions in Kurope.** G. K. Phillips in Ths Nsw Republic. The wind of nationalism which ha* raced over Kurope since the world war lias maintained the reputation of alt ill winds by blowing at leaat on* good: it haa given Kurope a price leas amount of publicity and thareby ”aoM" It to Americans, the most profitable victims of the wanderlust In history. The "See America First'' movement has simply gone to pot ! among those who ran psv f"i s trims | atlantlc tour. It is an established fa< t j that Kurope « teeming with dirty ' ignorant, radical, backward, degener ate, low atandard-of-livlng. low In tolllciuice quotient, |,quoi drinking foreigners without a saving drop of Nordic blood or a redeeming lota of reverence for the constitution. Still, thiS part of the vv rid has had a fascination to which all Americans with money in the hank have yielded Shamelessly in the last five years. Before lfllt, all that th« returned taxpayers of the good old i nlted .States of America had to talk about was auch dull stuff as Shakespeare's home, Napoleon’s tomb, St. Some body’s cathedral and the tears that come to the eyes (Ah, friends, the lump that swells the throat) upon be holding Dear-Old Goddess-of-Elbert y God-Bless-Her-Heart once more. The war has changed all that. Instead of collecting musty items of morbid, an American history, one now "stud ies conditions In Europe" and Is hounded for opinion on same by all and sundry. Studying conditions in Europe is manifestly a more satisfactory prac tice than mere sight-seeing. It has an important, business-like sound and provides opportunity to use such phrases as, "the social, economic and political aspects of the situation." “Studying conditions in Europe." The words, unlike "sight-seeing," carry no connotations 9t wasting a lot of valuable time and good sound dollars for the frivolous purpose of traipsing around * among king-worshippers. "Studying conditions in Europe" sounds almost like an official mission It gives the traveler a purpose. And wliat is life without a pu^JOSe? Also, a person of any standing at all in his community who studies conditions in Europe Is certain of an opportunity of addressing at least one civic or ganization on the subject, persons of genuine importance can count on say nothing of generous spare in the newspapers. What red-blooded, two fisted, up standing he-man ran resist such a privilege to contribute bis por tion toward saving civilization and making this a bigger, brighter, better world in which to build up a nice business? Assaults on Judicial Safeguards. From the Chicago Dally New* In an address before the New York State Bar assoeiatinn Albert .1. Bev eridge, former I'nlted States renator from Indiana, dealt most opportunely with the attacks directed in congress against the principle r.f judicial re view of legislation. It is. in truth, dis quieting that certain senators and representatives have attached to va rious dubious bills clauses which, if passed, would specifically forbid the lower federal courts to pronounce them unconstitutional and would also forbid even the supreme court to give adverse decisions except by votes of at. least S to 1—that is, with virtual unanimity.

Mr. Beveridge < well to direct attention to them in ec nection with the vicious tendency • overlegislation and overreguiation t bureaucratic agencies. It should be borne In mind that, the record shows, the federal supren* court has exercised great cap passing upon the constitutionality % legislation.
