SLANDER BY SILENCE.
A. Mitchell Palmer, iometimes called th« ''Eight
ing tjuskrr," ha* gone into action. Stung by the
Charges made by Gaston H. Mean* before the senate
Daugherty Inquiry committee, he proteat* hi* inno
cence. "As for my conference with Mr. Daugherty,
the version of Means is a lie out of whole cloth.1
exclaims Mr. Palmer, who holds:
■ It Is an amazing thing that a committee of the
United Slates scnaie would allow llself to become
the medium of broadcasting to the world the fa ae
and ridiculous charge* of a witness of the character
of Oaston H. Means, designed to blacken the repu
tation of honest ami conscientious public officials.
Addressing himself to the fact that certain alle
gations had been examined by a grand jury and
found to lie baseless, Mr. Palmer unload* hi*
righteous indignation on the committee;
In the fu.e of Ihcsc findings, which must le
ts ithln the knowledge of the senate committee, for
that committee to allow a witness like Means to
repeat his unfounded charge, long sln-e disprove.!.
IS well calculated to discount the Sincerity Of this
present Investigation, and to justify Ihe widespread
criticism of the senate for becoming a mor* distrib
utor of slander and slinger of mud.'1
* * *
And yet some wonder may be expressed that
Mr. Palmer waited until his own good name was
railed into question before he took occasion to de
nounce the proceedings. He knew from the begin
ning as well as now the character of Gaston B.
Means, and his credibility as a witness. So long as
(he attack was on Harry Daugherty and other re
publicans. as a democratic partisan, Mr. Palmer re
mained silent. He knew the source and the nature
„f the slander, but did not raise his voice. The
„„|y conclusion is that the Means’ stories might
srrve his party.
Of course Mr. Palmer deprecates the fact, as do
many other good democrats, that such despicable
methods are resorted to in politics. They sre care
ful however, to restrain themselves from protesting.
Kven in the senate democrats like Underwood of
Alabama, Simmons of North Carolina, Overman of
North Carolina, Stanley of Kentucky, and Rans
('ell of Louisiana, sit quietly and by their silence np
f...„ve the course of their slandering fellow partisans,
Mlhrr than rise to the defense of good government.
• • •
President Coolidge sought to srouse the dor
mant sense of decency and responsibility. Among
the democrats he succeeded only in giving such sen
ators as Reed of Missouri, Glass of Virginia, Harri
son of Mississippi and Carraway of Arkansas fresh
excuse for further tirades. Insinuation and innu
endo from democrats has followed the president’s
efforts to restore order, and to secure government
by law Instead of slander.
Honest democrats all over the land must feel a
sense of shame that their leaders should step aside
and let the Wheelers, the Walshes and the rest
spread the slime from the lowest pits of infamy
over good men’s names, not sparing even the dead.
By their silence they are parties to the crime of
turning loos* self-confessed spies, courtesans, dive
keepers, train-robbers, drug fiends, discharged em
ployes and the like to retail absurd yarns, parading
themselves ns confidential advisers and trusted in
struments of men in highest office.
Only when on* of them i* touched, a* was A.
Mitchell Palmer, hy the venemou* tongue of a slan
derer, i* protest made. The rent are willing to see
reputation* besmirched, character* destroyed, use
fulness impaired, and even confidence in the institu
tion* of America challenged. For what? That it
may bring their party a possible chance of victory.
By th*lr *il*nc* they join in the *lander, lactitly ap
proving a course that should cause them to blush for
sham*. They do not believe Gaston B. Means, nor
Roxie Stinson, nor Al Jennings, nor other* who have
testified. They secretly hope that the world will
not believe that the government of the United State*
haa become the reeking mess of corruption and bad
faith It haa been painted. Yet they lack the moral
courage to assert their own *en*e of decency and
force the pack back into the kennel.
* * *
Such hypocrisy will get the reward It deserves.
Success can not be built on the slime that i* now
being poured out by the “witnesses” who are being
called In Washington. Foundation* for victory can
not be laid on filth. American* have faith in the
cause of America. They will find the way to re
buke those who now wrap their cloak* of *r|f-right
foutnes* about them, and rejoice In the prospect of
another’* downfall, becauae through It they hop* to
win political profit.
BONUS BILL IN THE SENATE
Early passage by the senate of the adjusted
fompensatlon bill substantially in the form it came
from the house is assured. A number of amend
ments are being considered, but none that materially
modifies the measure that is approved by the Ameri
can Legion and others most, concerned Is likely to
be adopted. The democrats have pursued the tar
ties that has marked theirvrourse since the opening
of congress, proposing the substitution of cash pay
ments for Insurance features, and other aimilar
changes, solely for the purpose of embarrassing the
administration. None of these has yet rallied suffi
cient support to make It impressive.
Republicans have sought to put through a measure
that will be satisfactory to the men who served In
the army during the war. It is not a politic*! ex
pedient, but e question of justice. A general feel
ing exists that some provision should be made to com
penaate these men for the service they gave. No
tlfort Is made to measure that service in terms of

TREF PLANTING AND PROTECTION
Arbor Pay will ha observed |n Nebraska, 1hla
year, as it has been in all the years since it was
Instituted Through this observance our people
have earned the honorable and distinctive title of
"Tree Planters." More than ever this year the nr
rasinn is of significance. Plans are being laid for
the celebration of the centennial 6f Arbor Pay, In
1972. Tree* that go into the ground as sapling*
this vrar and for the next few years to come will
he giants then, fit emblems of the enterprise of to
day, a wonderful tribute to the foresight and pa
triotism of the Nebraskans of this generation.
Tree planting is one certain method of uniting
sentiment with the practical. Nothing is more beau
tiful than a tree, nothing more useful, Experience
is demonstrating more and more the need for sys
tematic tree culture, not alone for the protection
that comes from standing timber, but for the use that
will be made of it. A forest is a crop, not a mine,
and should be so treated.
More than the mere planting of tree* is being
observed this week. Hcginning with today "Forest
Protection Week" opens, and will he devoted to the
dissemination of information and advice with regard
to rare of the forests. Principally, this instruction
will lake the form of urging care to prevent forest
fires. Millions of dollars worth of timber has been
sacrificed to carelessness through forest fires. Thou
sands of lives have gone out in the breath of the
monster that sweeps through the woods, loosed by a
carelessly tossed match, or cigaret butt, or the
failure properly to guard a camp fire.
The Forestry service of the United States wel
come* visitors to the forest reserves. Accommoda
tion* in the way of well-kept roads and camping
places are provided.
Privileges amounting to absolute freedom are ex
tended. In return, the visitors are asked to be care
ful about fire, to treat the government property as
they would their private possessions. When all do
this, the danger of destructive fires In the timber
will be reduced materially.
When traveling through the timber make sure
you do not expose the woods to the danger of fire.
Put out carefully every match you light, make cer
tain that each cigaret or cigar, or the ashes from the
pipe howl, are dead before being discarded. Above
all, when a fire is built, see that it is extinguished
before it i* abandoned. Pour water on it and all
around it. He certain. That is the message the
Forestry service has for the tourists. It should be
in the mind of every one.
Carter Glass, senator from Virginia and demo

iMmliar, Neb To the Kdltnr of The
Omaha Bee At h friend of the pri

alitlemetit that It ought to be revised
nod revert to the old county and stale
convention days. 1 have always been
r firm believer and advocate of the
primary. But the recent atata pri
rnary held Just this month, April K.
proves Its Inefficiency. 1 would riot
part with It and go hark to the old
convention days, as they were, con
trolled in many Instances by political
hnases. railroads, gtafters and the like
No. sir. But let us go hack with
safeguards and penalties severe
enough to protect the honest and pun
ish the dishonest.
The statewide criticism of the re
rent primary running throughout Ne
braska. per the press and the people
themselves, certainly Jiisi flea the feel
ing of the voters everywhere that
something must lie done about the
primary. But what are we going to
do- that Is the question. Talk a few
days about It and then go to sleep aa
usual?
Aa the primary exists today It Is

poor man has no chance In the pri
mary, financially speaking We might
suggest that at the county conven
tions to Ice held by both parties on
April 27 that a proper resolution be
passed, and the democrats end repub
licans alike appoint »icch a committee
of three, from each county In the
stete. If possible, the time Is now very
short, and that these committees meet
In Lincoln or Omaha the day before
the stale conventions are held and
submit recommendations to the state
convention relative to the returning
to the old convention days, with prop
er safeguards and penalties against
corrupt Influences, at any rate. If
nothing Is done at these conventions,
the matter could l>e carried up with
a better understanding to the legis
lature for Its attention, aa It would
be, anyway.
