CATTLE ON NEBRASKA FEED LOTS.
On* great beam of clear white light is shining
out of the clearing mists. It is that just now more
cattle are consuming Nebraska corn on Nebraska
feed lots than ever were there at this time of year
in the history of the state. Inquiry made of stock
men, bankers and others who are chiefly concerned
gets but the one reply. All agree there is being fed
at this .time the greatest number of cattle ever pre
pared in the state for the spring market. There
they end, for not one will hazard an estimate as to
the number of cattle or the amount of money that
is tied up in them.
All agree on another point. That is that if mar
ket conditions hold as they are, the Nebraska farmer
is going to get something for his corn after the
cattle, hogs and sheep have turned it into beef, pork
tnd mutton. Our great food basket is full just now,
vith the most encouraging of prospects.
A little insight into what is going on is gained
from reports made to the Department of Agriculture.
Thejse figures ar? taken from Crops and Market, pub
lished by the department, for the weekly periods
designated, giving the shipments of feeder cattle
*o the farms:
—Nebraska— —Iowa—

Mar'll 1-7 . *.*>67 112.9 6.300 72.4
It will be noted that the Nebraska shipments
overrun last year figures by a wide margin. This
means but one thing. Thousands more cattle are
being fattened, and these will soon start to market.
Prices on rattle are ruling higher at Omaha than
during the last three years, and on this is predicated
the belief that the Nebraska farmer is about to turn
a profit on some of his output.
Railroads report that almost no corn is being
shipped out of the state. Commonly, only about .25
per cent of Nebraska's com crop is sold outside the
state, but even less of the bumper crop of 1923 than
usual is going abroad. Prices on the farm are so
attrtctive there is no inducement to ship. It will
move, though, on four fe«t. Over 226,000,000
bushels of corn is going to ride or march to market
in the shape of prime steers, fat hogs, and sheep
that are ripe for the slaughter.
ONE SENATOR AT ROLL CALL.
In the Congreisional Record of Friday, March 21,
one may read th » text of a formal note from Albert
B, Cummins, a| pointing Walter E. Edge of New
Jersey to preside over the body that day:
' Mr. Edge thereupon took the chair as presiding
officer.
"The reading iderk thereupon proceeded to read
the journal of yesterday's proceedings, when, on
request of Mr. Curtis, ami liv unanimous consent,
■ tlic further reading van dispensed with and the
joprnnl was approved.
"Mr. Curtis: Mr. President I suggest the absence
of a quorum. 0
"The presiding officer: The secretary will call the
roll.
"Unanimous consent” was not hard to obtain to
Mr. Curtis’ suggestion that the journal be not read
n full, fer Mr. Curtis was the only senator on the
floor when the gavel fell to rail the body to order.
All the other senators were out "prospecting” for
sil.
From sources other than the Record, we learn
that one hour and a half of time was consumed in
jetting together the 64 senators who finally re
iponded to the roll call, permitting the presiding of
ficer to state "Sixty-four senators having answered
to their names, a quorum is present.” The incident
is referred to as illustrative of the demoralization
of the machinery for public business incident to the
numerous investigations and the methods by which
they are being pursued.
Is it any wonder that the president is calling ihe
leaders together, to urge upon them the necessity
of doing something to dispose of the mass of work
that is awaiting attention?
DANCING RELIGION.
Bishop Manning of New York aeem* to have
poor luck in controlling the rector* of his diocese.
Hia last defeat is in connection with, St. Marks on
the-Bouwerie. Dr. William Norman Guthrie, in
charge of the parish, introduced a ballet a* part of
the ritualistic service, and was ordered to desist by
the bishop. Instead of obeying, the rector goes on
with the dance, and draws full houses at his Sunday
morning service.
Getting back to first principles, the rector is right
and the bishop is wrong in this matter. Originally
dancing was a large part in every religious cere
mony. Among savages, and some of the civilized,
this custom fell into disuse. Rites that were simple
and pur* in their inception developed into orgies of
obscenity. This, however, is the fault of man, and
not of the idea. Anything can be. in almost every
thing has been, diverted from good purpose to had.
Dr. Guthrie has smple authority in the scriptures
for his dances. Miriam took her timhrel in her
hands, and ail the women followed her. They danced
and sang when Pharaoh and his host were swallowed
up in the Red Sea. David danced before the Ark of
the Covenant. There are many other references to
the dance as part of religious observance. At any
rate, police had to be called upon to hold hack the
crowd, that tried to crush its way into the little
church on Sunday. Seventy five clergymen viewed
the performance, and congratulated the rector
afterward on the excellence of his artistic effort.
Mayhe the dance will be the means of leading men
back to primitive truth. At any rate, it ought pot
to be condemned simply because some forms of jt are
exactly what they should he. Mince pi* once
was under a ban, and turkeys were boiled in New
England because in Old England the church from
which they fled had roasted the fowls they ate.
THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING.
One of the interesting points in connection with
the report of the United States Steel corporation,
just given publicity, is a vindication of the shorter
workday. For many years Judge Gary resisted all i
pressure and declined to do away with the 12 hour
shift at the steel mills. Time after time he was ap
proached by those who believed in the shorter work
day. Two of those who urged him were presidents
of the United States. Wilson and Harding pleaded
with him personally. Pieachers and publicists be- i
sieged him. Economists argued and engineera
recommended, but the head of the great steel com
pany would not give in.
European mills went to the eight-hour shift;
other American concerns adopted the system, and all
thrived under it. At last Judge Gary capitulated,
but with misgivings which he voiced, that the shorter
hours would necessitate a rut in pay and an increase r
in the cost of steel. Last week Pittsburgh quotations
on steel billets was $40 per ton as against $45 a year
ago. The great corporation repqrts to its 'stock
holders a year of almost unbelievable prosperity.
Only in 1916 and 1917 was its total output ex
ceeded. Earnings show a substantial increase over
either of the last two year$.
Payroll was increased by $147,000,000, but not
all of this was on account of the extra men employed
for putting the eight-hour shift into effect. Some
rates of pay were increased to the men, and while
17,117 were added to the payroll to take care of the
change in working hours, a total increase of almost
36,000 is noted in the number of employes.
The answer to all the objections raised by Judge
Gary to the three-shift plan seems to be conclusive.
The report to the stockholders is not only proof of
the soundness of the eight-hour day in the steel in
dustry, but ought to settle the question for all in
dustriea.
MOVING ON AN OCEAN OF "GAS.”
Another indication of how we have expanded in
a very ehort time ia afforded by gasoline. In 1917,
that was seven years ago, when the war was on and
everybody was being urged to produce to the limit
and then some, the daily output of gasoline was
7,809,716 gallons. In 1924, when we are just carry
ing on business as usual, the production of gasoline
has climbed to 22,479,758 gallons daily. The figures
are furnished b y the United States Geological Sur
vey, and are accepted as accurate.
An increase in the daily output of gasoline
amounting to almost double the total of seven years
ago means just one thing. That more of the work
of the United States is being done by gas. Some
of the total is exported, but the proportional use in
this country has advanced in ratio with the output.
More cars are snorting over the highways. More
pumps are being driven. More farm houses are
being lighted. More cream separators and food
grinders are driven by the internal combustion en
gine, and the corresponding drudgery is lightened in
keeping. ,
What else? The future will settle that. Geolo
gists have again and again set a limit for oil pro
duction. We have frequently been warned, but we
go right on using the material as if there were an
inexhaustible supply. New discoveries continually
crop out to meet the demand. Very likely there is
an end to the oil underground, but when that is
reached the world will turn to something else.
When gasoline is gone, alcohol may come into
its own. A never failing source of this material is
supplied by nature, fof alcohol can be extracted
from almost any kind of vegetable growth. As a
fuel it has already undergone severe tests and turned
! out very satisfactory. Other substitutes for gasoline
: may be discovered or invented. In the meantime
! the automobile dealers expect to add 3,000,000 to the
(irivers this year.

As usual the democratic idea of prosperity is to
plunge the country into free trade, close the shops
and factories, admit a deluge of foreign made goods
to be sold at a low price to producers who have no
means of getting the money wherewith to pay for
the imported goods. Democratic logic always runs
in circles, and if given time enough its cowcatcher
always collides with its caboose, with resultant dis
aster.
It seems strange that the O’Neill prevaricator has
not been summoned to Washington to give evidence
on something or other. He could make the testimony
of Means and the Roxie Stinson look like the holes
in three plugged dimes.
Hiram Johnson says Calvin Coolidge is the "hand
picked candidate of the Morgans." He might also
have said that the farmers of North Dakota seemed
to have a warm spot in thair hearts for Silent Cal.
In order to remove as much graft as possible,
there will be no more tipping in the restaurants

things, might as well make a clean job of it.
Moralists who like to quote amounts spent for
chewing gum, cigarets and the like, may now add

A new feminine garment that ran be taken off in

up my mind not to do that which these
outsiders tell us. ——

Omaha—To the Editor of The Oma
ha Bee: In a rerent Issue of your
paper, the Friday (Marrh 14) morning
edition to be exact, I noticed a letter
in the "People's Voice" column head
ed "School Spirit and Five Cents '’
The writer of'that, letter has either
been misinformed or else has misin
terpreted the information he received.
Parent says that hia son is not
averse to climbing the steps at Tech
hut that he does have some objection
to Buying activities stamps. From
which, 1 take it, that while Sonny la
not only willing but anxicua to par
take of all the benefits offered at Tech
he Is either unwilling or unable or
both to pay G cents a week toward
the support of the association which
makes many of these benefits possi
ble.
Parent also says that no account la
made of the way In which the money
thua accumulated is spent. In this
he is entirely mistaken. In the
Technical News of December 7, 1923.
tlie annual report of the Activities as
sociation is printed. These accounts
are kept by Mr. G. F. Knipprath,
head of the bookkeeping and account
ing department at Tech.
The total Income for the entire year
was $3,074.90. This includes $1,639.69
taken at the athletic contests. To
none of the home games, by the way.
Is any additional fee charged for a
paid-up activities member. This also
includes the interest on liberty bonds
in which the surplus of former years
is Invested.
The total expenses for the year
were $3,349.69. Of this approximately
$430 went for the expense of the school
paper. That is for the paper, Ink,
and so on. Other items in the ex
pense account were $230 for the debat
ing team, which won the state cham
pionship; $100 for school assemblies
and picnics: $1,000 for the school band,
and $1,500 for athletics.
Parent may aay that his son derives
no benefit from any of these things.
Then I say that Sonny has not yet
absorbed the true Tech spirit. The
weekly paper should l*e of interest
to any one who enters Into the achool
acllvlliea. Sonny is also perfectly wel
come to Join the debating clubs or the
hand. If he plays no muskal Instru
ment then there are classes where he
can receive instructions as part of his
school courae.
Furthermore, Sonny is not only wel
come to go out for athletics, but every
effort is made to Induce the boys who
are physically fit to try out for the
teams. An-I the honor roll, which
Parent says consists of a few select
ed pupils celled honor students. Is
the only organisation in ihe entire
school which makes no requirement of
Ihe student* other than that he apply
himself sufficiently to make high
grade*.
As far a* charging extra admission
goes the senior play and tha operetta
given annually by the glee elubs do
require extra admission. This go**
to cover the expense of producing the
play and in the case of the senior
play towards defraying the expenses
of the quarterly which ia issued to ail
paid-up activities members whether
they attend the play or not.
Recently Thelma Given, rising
American violinist, gave a concert at
Tech. Thl* concert was sponsored by
the Activities association and was free
to artlvttUW members.
Admission to all games is GO cents
unless the student belong* to the
Activities association. l«ast season
Fecit had nine home basket ball
games. 1 believe that these figures
xpeak for themselves.
I would add In conclusion that not
only does Tech High have the cheap
est price for Activities association
membership and hate a weekly In
stallment plan for the convenience of
the student, but Tech also offers more
advantages to the paid-up member
than does any other Omaha high
school. TECH HIGH SENIOR.

The Results of Failure of Americans
to Take.Part in Government
We must extend the authority of the union to the
persons of the citizens—the only projter objects of gov
ernment.—Alexander Hamilton, the Federalist, No. XV.
XLVII.
- I. K X ANDKfl HAM 11 .TOX,
A speaking in the ronsfitu
tlonnl convention, declared
ESS that the first great and es
ESEeJ aential principle necessary
for the support of government was an
active and constant interest in sup
porting It. He also named as neces
sary principles, an habitual attach
ment of the people for their govern
ment, a, necessary employment of
force whether of laws or arms, and a
willingness of men of ability and in
fluence to participate in the honors
and emoluments of governm'ent.
No American ever uttered wiser or
weightier.words The government the
constitution set up was not the gov
ernment Hamilton wanted, hut the
principles he laid down are even rnoie
essential to its support than they
would have been to the more central
and exclusive suthoritv he contended
for. The framers by making the gov
ernment popular, that Is, s govern
ment of the whole people rather than
of the few, presupposed that the peo
pie would take an interest In It. that
they would support ths enforcement
of Its laws and participats in its oper
ation. If they had supposed other
wise they would not have made the
people the original source of the gov
ernments power and therefore the
maatera of its fate.
Kvery particular In which govern
ment in the t nited States has failed
may be traced to the failure of the
people to support it in respect of
these principles. The American peo
pie do not take an active and
constant interest in government.
Their attachment to It la proclaimed
rather than demonstrated. They do
not aupport its laws, although nothing
is clearer than Hamilton’s grave
truth that the only alternative to the
force of law Is the force of srms. The
men of ability and Influence in their
communities, whom Hamilton looked
to for the successful operation of gov
ernment, do not participate In It, but
abandon its posts of honor and power
to demagogues, cheap politicians and
professional office holders. Congress,
the state legislatures and the govern
ment of our cities are filled with men
who. In no particular, resemble those
Americans Hamilton and the other
framers relied upon to vindicate their
work. The people who elect these
men to represent them furnish as lit
tle Justification for the confidence the
founders reposed when they laid
luoad the foundations of suffrage.
The American people have not. Is
short, made good the claim of fitness
for self-government which the consti
tution makers asserted for them.
The whole theory of representative
government le based on the Interest,
the Intelligence and the patriotism of
the voter. IjCt the voter fall In these
finalities, let him refugs to vote or
vote ignorantly, eorruptiy or indif
ferently. and the whole scheme of rep-]
resentatlve government, as It differ*
from those forms In which the people
have no voice, falls to the ground.
Representative government can be
just as bad as the worat form of gov
ernment that ever existed,* once it is
deprived, bv whatever means, of the
intelligent participation of the most
fit and the most responsible part of
the people whose authority it rests
upon. (Jovernment is thus deprived
when the office of voting is •declined |
by those best fitted to vote and is ex
ercised only by those the least filled,
or who ynie from interested motives
not publlff in character.
American cities and American
states are governed today on the man
date of voters whom the Philadelphia
founders would not have dreamed of
investing with the suffrage. They
are governed by a minority of the
ignorant, the vicious and the corrupt.
They are governed by voters who are
not Americans ifl spirit, in political
education, in mental or inoral fitness.
These are the voters who have taken
up. for the purposes of commercial
politics, the responsibilities fitted
Americans have laid down. It is by
such vote* the mayors of our cities,
the governors of our states, our sena
tors snd representatives in congress
sre Invested with those powers which
the founders delegated with such cau
tion and with such jealous care
against their abuse.
"Men love power." said Hamilton.
He though this ambition would bring
to the support of tiie government men
tilted to wield power. II* did not an
tb-ipate that the fit would refuse this
responsibility and leave it to men
whose love of power Is the love of the
personal gain they can get from it*
exercise. Rut It is to such men Amer
icans have turned over their govern
ment. The attachment to it that
Hamilton hoped for i* now the at
tachment. not of a people, but of a
professional class of politicians w ho
make a profit of It. These are the
men who control, through political or
ganization, that suffrage the people's
right to which was so vigorously
fought for in the convention. When
