DAUGHERTY’S THORNY PATH.
Harry Daugherty has been a storm center
through all his active life. Politics in Ohio is
strenuous and Daugherty has been a leading figure
in that state for more than a quarter of a century.
Politics in Ohio is also capable. The Buckeye state
• rivals Virginia as the “mother of presidents.”
• One of these presidents owed his nomination
• and election to the shrewd political management of
, Harry Daugherty. For these services Harding made
Daugherty attorney general.
The storms that always centered about Daugh
city in Ohio beat about him with redoubled fury in
Washington. The jealousies, the vindictiveness, the
venom of political hatreds followed him.
It was a mistake for President Harding to place
Daugherty in this position. His political enemies
!• were too numerous. As a result of these enmities
:• public confidence was never wholly behind the at
torney general. The country never fully appreciated
-'the difficulty of his position. Partisan attacks,
openly from the democrats, in the dark from the
enemies within his own party, centered attention
upon Daugherty’s career as an active politician.
Thus they kept in the background his work as a
prosecutor.
Daugherty had the task of prosecuting the war
grafters, the cost-plus thieves. He was called upon
to ferret out the far-reaching ramifications of the
bootleggers’ trust. He was faced with the seditious
campaign of the anarchist and bolshevik propagan
dists that was such a menace in the early days of
the Harding administration.
* * *
The cost-plus grafters were powerful, their loot
reached into many millions. They naturally banded
together to hold their ill-gotten fortunes. Daugh
erty’* political enemies were quick to see the op
portunities for financial gain in addition to the
satisfaction of their own hatreds.
At every turn Daugherty found himself cdn
fronted with powerful and shrewd attorneys rep
resenting war grafters, liquor violators and others
against whom he directed prosecutions. Many of
hi* own trusted lieutenants turned traitor, seduced
by the ill-gotten gold of big grafters and those
who were making millions out of smuggling liquor.
* * *
Through the cooperation of Secretary Hughes
the threemile limit was extended by treaty to a
•12-mile limit in order to make more efficient the
capture of foreign rum runners. Notwithstanding
the machinations of the cost-plus war grafters,
Daugherty succeeded in securing the return of more
than $5,000,000 stolen during the war. More might
have been recovered had Daugherty been as capable
a lawyer as he was a campaign manager. No doubt
in this he did his best.
The enforcement of the liquor laws requires the
active support of state authorities. This Daugherty
did not have. New York state, under the leader
ship of its democratic governor, A1 Smith, repealed
its law enforcement statutes and the stopping of
the rum runners fell entirely upon the federal au
thorities. Prosecutions were rendered doubly dif
ficult through the active, through concealed con
nivance of Governor Smith and Mayor Hylan's New
York police force.
• * »
All told, Daugherty has held office and carried on
his work with thorns sticking into him from every
side from the day he took up his duties. The
impeachment proceedings started in the house fell
flat. The senate inquiry has done nothing so far
except to give airing to rumors, hearsay and scandal
that would not lie permitted before any court.
Tha witnesses have been questionable and des
picable.
Harry Daugherty will fight on. The inquiry may
be continued. The enemies of Daugherty, now that
they have "got” him, may withdraw or they may
continue with even more venom.
Regardless of all these factors, however, and
whether ju»t or unjust, Daugherty does not. have
the confidence of the great mass of the people and
Preaident Coolidge has done well in taking steps
; to select a "disinterested” attorney general.
GERMAN ELECTIONS BLOCK DAWES.
An interesting and not at all unnatural factor is
holding back the final report of the Dawes commis
sion. It had been hoped that a definite announce
ment would be made from that body within a few
days, but politics in both Germany and France in
fluence* the action of the experts. The general elec
• tion in Germany is set for May 4, and in Franc* for
May 25. In both countries the policy of the gov
ernment la at issue, and in either the result might
be affected by the action of the commission.
In Germany the conflict turns especially on the
division between the republicans and the reaction
aries. Prussia Is at present essentially republican,
while Bavari* is monarchist. This phase of the sit
uation may determine the commission in withhold
ing its report until the voter* have determined if
Germany is to be one thing or the other. Marx.
Streseman and other leaders of the fisting govern
ment have challenged the Bavarian group to the ut
most, and will combat them to the end to preserve
the republic.
In France the issue is of relatively less im
portance, because in France there is no serious di
vision of opinion with regard to Germany. All the
multitudinous groups in the republic are united on
' the one policy in dealing with their neighbors. They
demand that Germany pay to the uttermost.
This conies back to a division of opinion in the
, commission itself. British representatives incline to
a report that will relieve Germany of any payments,
in cash or kind, for at least two years. France, on
the other hand, insists that payments shall be con
tinued. At present it it estimated by the French
that they trill have a profit of 3,000,000,000 gold
franc* annually from the exploitation of tho Ruhr
industries. If thia is shut off, the government will
feel tho drain materially. Consequently the objec
tion is raised that France should not be called upon
to bear anv sh*are of the German burden. Report
has it that Chairman Dawes leans to the French
view.
The problem of the commission is to determine
how much money the German government can raise
during the next two years to pay the industrialists
who are producing for the benefit of France. Brit
ish experts set the limit at 3,000,000,000 gold marks,
while the French argue for 4,500,000,000, which
amounts to 7 per cent on the 70,000,000,000 gold
marks at which the total of German reparations is
now set.
All these points ara being considered by the ex
perts, and on the outcome of their consultations will
depend the future relations of the governments. But
a report is scarcely looked for until after the Ger
mans have elected their new government in May.
THE WORLD HUGS ITS ARMIES.
President Coolidge has probably let himself in
for criticism in declining to call another parley of
nations looking to disarmament. He gives as hi*
reasons a belief that the nations, especially those
of Europe, are not ready to discuss any further re
duction in their armed forces and other preparations
for war. Also, he cites the fact that at the Wash
ington conference limitations on aircraft and sub
marines were suggested, but not assented to by the
nations there represented.
It is a regrettable fact that the world has not fol
lowed the example of the United States. Whether
the policy be sound or foolish, we have reduced
both our army and our navy below the point that
was permitted by the Washington conventions. Our
navy today is that of a second rate power, while our
army is barely commensurate with the needs of *
second rate power. According to the latest revision
of the figures by the adjutant general of the army,
the United States forces under arms are outnum
bered by those of Czecho-Slovakia, France, Great
Britain, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Rumania, Russia
and Spain in Europe; by China. India, Japan and
Turkey in Asia, and by Abyssinia in Africa. Bel
gium, Greece, Germany, and the Serbs, Croatians
and Slovenes almost equal our forces in numbers.
In cutting down armed forces, the United States
has shown the world that the way to disarm it to
disarm. Whether circumstances will force a reversal
J of this policy, especially as regards our navy, can
not be said. The unwisdom of talking of a reduction
of armament at this time ought to be clear. Until
the world is ready to hearken to the voice of Peace,
such talk is idle, and Peace can not he heard for the
clash of arms in European camps.
STRANGE TALES THESE STRANGERS TELL.
Even Senator Wheeler admits that some of the
stories evoked by the senatorial inquisition are unbe
lievable. That is going far for him. Senator Wheeler
is ready at any time to believe anything that reflects
on the government, or the character of any citizen
whose good name stands out clear before the public.
W hat the people most wonder at is the increasing list
of hitherto unknowns who are coming forward as
possessed of intimate information with regard to the
inside workings of political parties, national conven
tions, and the government itself. Commenting on
this, the New York Times says:
•‘Strange witnesses who have strained the
credulity of even senators with a strong will to be
lieve are familiar In all parts of the country and In
all walks of life. They have heard, or half heard,
or misunderstood, whispered narratives of political
intrigue. They have met truthful looking citizens i
who told of vast influence with the government at
Washington. This might have been due to a huge
sum contributed to the national campaign fund, or
to assumed intimacies with powerful officials. The
state of Ohio appears to have mobilized a large
number of such Individuals who took up their line
of march to W ashington early in 1»21. Almost any
on* of them, if he had been pressed to tell the truth,
would have admitted that lie alone engineered the
"deal" by which Senator Harding was nominated for
tlie presidency. No wonder that so many of their
acquaintances and friends—-or even enemies-—are
bursting- witti a desire to give testimony before the
senate committee. Tho brightest genius among
them, however, must be in fear of eclipse by the ar
rival of the ex train robber, now an evangelist, who
Is at present on his way to Washington to make
the senatorial flesh creep." /
And we may expect there will not be a shred of
respectability left anywhere around Washington to
hide a shrinking republican when “Al” Jennings gets
through telling his “whale of a story.” What the
world will marvel at is that he has kept silent for
four years while pregnant with such awful informa
tion and knowledge.
Ed Lockhart, last of a famous band of Oklahoma
bandits, has just been killed by a sheriff. He might
have done better had he invented “a whale of a
story’’ to tell the Walsh committee.
One of Omaha's greatest need is a real union
station. And the great railroad systems entering
Omaha really owe it to the city to supply that need.
The debate on whether the saxophone is a musi
cal instrument might easily be settled by locating
somebody who could get music out of it.
4 .S*r*i°r. McKellar ia now going to oust "Uncle
Andy Mellon. Jf the democrats keep on the presi

Lower freight rates on farm products are now
promised. The relief is slow in coming, but it surely
will be welcome when it gets home.
Juries In Omaha are gradually working up to the
death penalty, so murderers better look out.
One thing the prince of Wales has shown the
world is that he is not a good horseman.
President Uoolidge is keeping cool, and more

A Class Inlerest That Madison
Did Not Foresee.
This government cannot endure per
manently half alave and half free.
-—Abraham Lincoln.
XI.IX.
-|AMKS MADISON wared In
"The Federullat" that (he
first necessity laid on a gov
ernment was to repress (Vie
_ tendency of classes of the
population to put their own concerns
above those of the public. No gov
ernment, he said, could regulate a do
mestic power that was, or threatened
to become greater than Its owm. Madi
son cited landed interests, manufac
turing interests, mercantile interests,
moneyed interests as being among
those likely to assert right* above the
common rights and to challenge the
power of government exercised In the
interests of all the. people.
These were the classes that were
found the most insistent for privilege
when the constitution was being made,
and they or their successors have
since been found as intent as Madison
found them on using government for
their own purposes. Class interest is
still to tie found at the door of con
gress, the state legislatures and city
councils asking for legislation not
public In character; self-seeking,
favor seeking—the embodiment of
privilege.
But there are today special inter
ests that Madlaon could not have fore
seen that have grown to great power
In our country, and that assert for
themselves privileges that the class
interests of his day never dreamed of
asserting.
What, for example, would Madison
have said of the pretensions of an in
dividual, not a public official, not a
delegated authority of any community
Just a private citizen, and one of no
savory reputation to boot—who
should require his pleasures to be
taken on ail public measures before
they should he permitted to go before
the representatives of the people?
What would he have said of the spec
tacle of such an individual designating
the candidates to be voted for in elec
tions, dictating the appointments of
public officials after they are elected,
deciding for reasons of his own what
public moneys should be appropriated
and for what purposes, specifying
what public contracts should be
awarded and ^ho should receive them,
fixing the conditions under which
franchises, virtually involving a tax
ing power to be exercised upon the
people, should be granted to public
utilities companies, controlling the
political machinery through which
the voters in their party organizations
declared their principles and prefer
ences—doing all this, not in a public,
but in a private capacity and for his
private prrnt:
This Individual, or a combination of
such, is known today in every great
American city and In most atates. His
person and his syatem has come to
constitute a class interest In America
that is as great a menace tq Its ex
istence as a nation as the great class
interest of slavery ever was. The
challenge of political bosslsm to equal
ity. to freedom, to nationality, la as
boh! and arrgant as was slavery's. Its
march across the soil of America is
as steady and resistless, its invasion
of political and human rights Is as
ruthless and as destructive of the soul
of America and of the spirit of lib
erty.
I .ft us witness what political wrong
endured for a little apace will do to
the soul of a nation. In the eonatltu
tlonal convention of 1787 fleorge
Mason of the elave state of Virginia
made an abolitionist apeech, and was
applauded in his own state for doing
it. The soul of America had not then
been Beared by this fearful thing.
But mark how swift and how terrible
was Its work. I.ess than 70 years
later. In the free territory of Kansas,
the law made it a felony, punishable
by ^Ine and imprisonment for a white
man to tell a colored man the simple
truth that Kansas was free soli. In
70 years the great national wrong of
slavery had killed the aoul of Amer
ica and stifled in the land of its tdrth
the voice of liberty.
Bet us make no mistake. If the
monstrous political wrong of political
houlsm, as it exists and daily grows
in our free system, marches on un
checked. it will, as swiftly as slavery
ever threatened to. tread out the laet
apark of political liberty In thisAmer
Ice.
Such is the constitution of man
that he cannot endure wrong and long
retain the Impulse to repel it. fan a
people who have, with scarcely a pro
test, permitted their political' powers
*nd privileges to he taken from their
hands by a domestic power unknown
'o the constitutions and the institu
tions of their country, he believed ca
llable of defending their liberties
against a foreign power? By ereept
Ing this usurpation and tamely en
during it. have they not become slaves
to wrong, fit only to do Its bidding
and to serve as bondsmen In the noble
temple where once they were mas
ters?
Young America, to defend a princi
ple, took up arms against one of the
greatest military power In the world,
"a power that has dotted over the
surface of the whole globe with her
possessions and military posts, whose
morning drum beat, following the sun,
and keeping company with the home]
circles the earth with one continuous
and unbroken strain of the martial
airs of England.”

A Republican View.
Stromsburg, Neb.—-To Ibe Editor of
The Omaha Be.-: I notlre that
Magnus Johnson, who made a speech'
the other day, saying that he was
not a republican, and hoped that
they would he able to liek the re
publicans with a third patty, wrote
a letter to Mr. Horn son. Senator Nor
ris' manager, advising republicans to
renominate Spflator Norris.
1 have always been, up to this
vear. a strong Norris man, but when
he resorts to getting senators from
outside of Nebraska, who are not re
publicans, to try to influence re
publicans to nominate Senator Nor
ris, who now says that he Is not a
republican, It Is time to call a halt,
and I want to say that many men
who have been Norris men in this
neighborhood will, this year, vote for
Charley Sloan. A. C. PON EPSON.
A Eariner’i Suggestion.
St. Paul. Neb.-^To the Editor of
The Omaha Bee: • 1 have read your
valuable paper for almost 20 years
and you have been fair to every one,
and that Is why X wish to say a few
words to the farmer through your
pa per.
Mr. Farmer, how much longer are
you going to he made a fool of? t tie
time has come, and is right at your
door, when you must either make a
stand for your righte or be ruined.
All of the promises tthat have been
made you see are false, misleading
and untruthful. Kememher, you have
the goods In your own hands, so why
be fooled any longer?
We have no laws, and never will
have that will help the farmer. Every
one else Is organized, why not the
farmer? Is he so dumb or so much
different from all other classes?
Pon t say "X can’t.” There is no
such word as “can't.” Just say, "We
ran and will.” These are the words,
can and will. Pick onf a good, clean
man from your community, one that
knows how to run his own business,
one that Is truthful, honorable, Just a
real man. You don't need some fail
ure and an office hunter to tell you
what to do. As a suggestion, I would
say to pick out three good men from
each county, and If they see fit, let
th£rn pick iwo more. They can cir
culate a petition asking every farmer
to sign It that whnts to stand up for
his rights. Pet this board or com
mittees, throughout the state, meet
with other states that are interested
In farming, and place a fair price on
your products. Xiow would these
prices seem:
No. 2 wheat, bu.I 1.50
No. 2 corn, bu.tin
Rye, bu.. .... i nn
Oats, bu.50
l’otatoes, cwt.. 1 50
Fat hogs, cwt. 8.00
Fat cattle, cwt.IS to 10.00
(According to quality.)
Now, whatever we do, let us b* fair.
Pon t ask unreasonable prices. And
whenever we can get our price, let
this committee Inform the farmer to
haul to market so much grain or
stock. In proportion to the amount
he has on hand. If you can not get
the price agreed upon just hold It
until you can; just hold everything
off the market for <0 days and sec
what will happen. They will come
and eat out of your hand. ]t is yours
to hold: you did not steal it. When
thep talk overproduction, what about
the price of sugar—J9.50 per hundred?
!« It )>e>.iuse there is a shortage? 1
should say not. If you have the
money you can buy 2.000,000 sacks
in an hour. What of hides—3 cents
per pound: shoes, IS to 115 per pair.
Is it because there la a shortage In
hides? The farmer has slways been
the goat, and they surely pull his
whiskers. The byw ord Is: “Why. you
don't know any more than some old
farmer.” How- much do you know?

Corrects Tax Commissioner's Figures.
Tekamah. Neb.—To the Editor nf
The Omaha Hee: In the issue of The
I Omaha Kee for Marc h 17 la a copy of
i a table prepared by the state tax com
miasloner on taxes levied on each
j $1,000 of assessed valuation In the
counties of Nebraska. 1 note the fol
liming distribution of taxes for Te
kamah: % County, $2, city, Hit, and
school, $22.
I do not know the process by which
these results were reached, but they
are erroneous so far as the amounts
for the city and school are concerned.
1 hope you will please publish this
correction, as mistakes like this are
misleading and malicious In their ef
fecta. lacat year the city's share of
tax money was 43 per cent, while the
schools' share but 36.2 per cent. The
figures quoted In the table would make
our school tag amount to 22 mills,

Omaha—To the Editor of The Oms

words. What did ftquor ever do for

common dog.
Still some pinheads will fight every
day for liquor. Every day men are
seen on the street corners begging for
a dime to secure enough for coffee and
rolla, then going away to spend It for
liquor.
I surely cannot understand why
men of reasonable understanding will
stick for these sin cursed habits that

beer naturally leads to crime and
poverty. People who are capable of

No Kaith in Super-Power Project.
Omaha—To the Editor of The Oma
ha Hee: Senator Norris’ so-called
superpower hill appeals strongly to
the imagination and will doubtless he
useful as political capital, but It Is
impracticable as is pointed out by the
Electrical World.
"There will doubtless lie no more
than academic interest in the latest
super-power bill, introduced into con
gress on Monday of this week by
Senator tyirrls and Representative
Keller.” comments the Electrical
World, the leading publication In the
electrical field.
"The bill proposes that the basis of
a national super-power network lie
the municipal plants of the country
(whoae total output 1* S per cent of
the country'* generated power annual
ly and whose average rating is under
<10ft kva.- and engineers may possibly
derive eome entertainment by calculat
ing the ability of these plant* even to
provide the necessary charging cur
rent" for the network.
The bill la proposed as a conserva
tion measure by the Public Ownership
League of America, whose recent con
ventlon In Washington attracted »
total of seven people, Including the
secretary. However ainccre these
people and the congressional bai keia
of the bill may be as conservationists,
they will lie recognized as mere tyros
when compared with Roosevelt.
Pinchot and others who backed the
present water-power bill, the lesult of
years of study, under which water
power development Is now proceeding
rapidly In the public interest and at
minimum cost.
"Electrical engineera ami all w-ho
