An economic boycott will be of no avail, so .<mg ns an offending nation can turn to this country, the one great neutral, and obtain relief in the form of loans and supplies. »’• Therefore it is essential to the success of the re cently formulated agreement that our government express its adherence to the terms laid down. Unless congress is willing to be guided in ad vance by the action of the council of the League of Nations, no such agree.irsnt can be entered into. This point has been debated often, and all argu ments finally get back to the ume point. Only the congress of the Uniteel States e*an declare war on behalf of this country. Some eminent gentlemen have gone farther, and insist that the question of war be submitted to a vote of the people. It is obviously impossible for the president or any ambas sador to agree with another government, or an as sociation of government . that our people will go to war, in one way or another, applying force phy sically or economically. Until that fundamental law is changed on this po'nt, the question of con flict rests with the re; •• rente;iv of the people. » * * But Senate: La Foilet , champion of peace and decrier of war, has pc: ■ 1 ntly put forward some thing that w II lead direct to war. He has said again and again that one of his objects is to secure^ revision of the Treaty of Versailles. He Icels that this document is in its very nature unjust and op pressive, and should be extensively modified both as to its terms and the methods of application. Thoughtful persons have read the promises of the senator along this line with something of amaze ment. Whether or not they arc agreed with him as to the urgent necessity for recasting the form of the treaty, it bothers them to discover how he would go about the job. The United States is not a party to the Treaty of Versailles. While it is true Presi dent Wilson assisted in framing the document, and signed it, it was pot ratified by the senate. So the United States has nothing directly to do with the treaty, or with the manner of its enforcement. Col laterally, and for the benefit of all mankind, our government has aided in several ways to restore order in Europe. But we have a separate treaty with Germany, and are ou terms of friendship there as with the other nations signatory'to the Treaty of Versailles. This situation presents some interesting aspects when it comes to talking of modifying the treaty. * * * Only as a disinterested friend of all, or as a special pleader for one, could the United States ap proach the other powers with a request for the re vision of the treaty. In either event it is not alto gether improbable that our government would be re quested to disclose its purpose in proposing any change. Following this, it is not unreasonable to expect that objection m rht be raised, by France. . :>r example, to which ni;r answer would be—what? Not being a party to the treaty, although acting with the best of motives, the United States would be moved out of court. Unless it should adopt some other form of procedure than diplomatic persuasion. We can not conceive Robert Marion La Follette, apostle of peace, undertaking to coerce France, Eng land, Belgium. Italy or any other of the interested group of nations into letting up on Germany. Nor tan we conceive either of the e nations revising the Treaty of Versaille just because Mr. La Follette asked them to. He would receive in diplomatic form permission to go and i; on a tack. * * * Nobody knows tli better than La Follette, yet be keeps right on telling hU hearers that he wants the treaty reied. So do many others. And they are just ns pov.-orh a I a Follette in the matter. Short of fr-,- there i ro v.’.iy to induce Franc# to let go of G imany. i >me way France is • compensated. ]' i -■ d it is ready to as sumo any p; r‘ ■ t!; v < Id gallons of European nations, thin a i a ; cY r,j -■ in treaty terms will be hear!-: i ' d : I Y what I 1 1 oiletle means, that our al1 : 1- emonro on account of the war is to , , • ; that thiyys may lie made lighter for Euro)” : a <i btor. ? MENACE CE INDIFFERENCE. A victory for an ly and common sense nt .lie next election is mem.red only hy the indifference of the voter And it is this indifference, tlii apathy, that is ih ■ real menace confronting the re public today. When a people lose ■ iirht of their political responsihiiite , become indifferent and apathetic, the inevitable result in all history is loss of political rights and the usurpation of authority by Ihe strong on I the unscrupulous. The greatest problem confronting this country today is political indifference. Upon its solution depends more than upon all el. . How to solve it, how to amuse people to a on e of their responsi bilities, demand the attention of the best and most patriotic minds of the nation. Evarywhcra organizations arc forming for the purpose of arousing the people. Earnest and pa triotic men and women, sensing the growing danger, are exerting themlelves to avert its inevitable re sults by impressing upon the minds of the voters their individual responsibility to vote regularly and intelligently. A greater and better work could not have been undertaken at this time. Here in Nebraska there is great need for just such organizations and for just such far-seeing and patriotic men and women. The slogan of every loyal Nebraskan should be: “Make this the year of Nebraska’s Big Vote!” GREATER INSURANCE COMPANIES. Nebraska is on the threshold of the big task of building up its home office insurance companies. There are organized in this state and doing business here some of the strongest insurance companies in the country. The patronage of these companies by the people of the state is natural. On the basis of the economic value of "keeping our money at home” the patronage of these companies is desirable. For this, reason it is curious that Governor Bryan and Adjutant General Paul should have overlooked the Nebraska insurance companies when they made plans for insuring the lives of the mem bers of the Nebraska National Guard. The letter sent Adjutant General Paul by Mr. W. A. Fraser of the Woodmen of the World ought plaint, but to the general value of Nebraska home office insurance companies. Mr. Paul sidesteps the complaint against him self by saying that the Omaha companies did not solicit the business, and further seeks to wash his official hands by saying that the scheme has fallen through because 75 per cent of the guardsmen did not agree to it. If Governor Bryan and Mr. Paul had had the greater interest of the state in mind they would have immediately gotten in touch with the Nebraska companies when the matter was originally brought to their attention. Maybe too, if the matter was being handled through a Nebraska company the guardsmen could have been more easily interested in subscribing for the insurance. * We recommend that Governor Bryan and Mr. Paul at once open negotiations with interested Ne braska companies with that object in view. In this way they can rectify their mistake and do a service to the guardsmen. MUSCLE SHOALS UP TO CONGRESS. Whether Henry Ford's offer to the government for Muscle Shoals was a good bargain or not no longer matters much. The offer has been withdrawn. Mr. Ford says he made the proposal in good faith, ' ihe best terms he could suggest, and when it be I came a complicated political question he stepped out ! of the picture. He does not want to become in i volved in politics. Congress was all sot to go to the bat on the subject in December. The House already had passed a bill to accept the Ford offer. In the senate the Norris report was pending. Senator Norris favors the rejection not only of the Ford bid but all the ; others as well, and the operation of the great plant | by the federal government. It will be the first unit J in a great superpower plant to be owned by the public. What will become of the Norris report is to be determined. It is certain that a hill in which its ideas are embodied will get attention. It is cer tain, too, that it should have attention. At any rate, we may expect that the Alabama Power company and other competitors of Ford will renew their contest for the plant. That some dis position should he made of the groat works is ad ! mitted by all. When complete the government will ‘ have a round $125,000,000 invested. It is out of j the question to allow this to lie idle. Disputes will | rise and fall over Muscle Shoals for many years to come, but the big thing now is to get wheels to turn ing down there. The public is certain to be loser on the deal, but this loss may be lessened by using ihe machinery. The trouble in the LaFolIette-Harrison-Mutz '•amp again reminds us how sweet it is for hrethren to dwell together in unity. In this particular in stance, however, the trouble is hailed with delight by all lovers of clean politics and orderly govern ment. “Ma” Ferguson is in every way qualified to be governor of Texas, says the supreme court. Judg ing by what has gone on down, there, this is not much of a recommendation. That new anaesthetic just discovered in Germany may be all right, but it isn’t in it with the wail of a calamity howler when talking to the prosperous people of Nebraska. One reason the democrats do not need a cam paign fund is they are sure of carrying the only states they expect to and without the expenditure of a penny. C. A. Sorenson is a pretty loud talker but he will have to talk louder if he drowns out the voice of that $100 check put up by Joseph Cook of Fre mont. The apostles of discontent are experiencing great trouble in keeping it stirred up in prosperous Ne braska this year. Sowing the dairy idea in Nebraska is of vastly more benefit to the state than the sowing of dis content. # Chairman Rutler probably wishes hr had some of those millions Frank P, Walsh says he has. It would seem that Frank Harrison has been do ing most of his thundering in his index. What Nebraska needs is more and better dairy row- and fewer calamity howlers. All road are good in October in Nebraska. r Homespun \rerse By Omaha'* Own Poet Robert Worthington Ihwie V.1 TONIGHT Tonight I hear them calling: « mne «attle straight w.iv home! .’•'wed words and eehors falling upon the fibroid loam, And slow the rows come, hawling, from whence the} went to mam. i Tonight I see them gassing aero:-* the lulls of gold.

There was no money needed for operations, as orders lor coal were taken before Brother Charlie ordered the coal from the mt^es. The cus tomer paid cash when he got the coal. There was no money paid out for handling coal, as the customer himself shoveled the coal out of the car (Brother Charlie's coal bins) into hisj wagon. No expense to Charlie. No claim is made as to the accu racy of the above statement, but it is approximately correct. Brother Charlie started his%cnter prise in October, 1923, closing it in j April. 1924, compelling the dear pen pie, over whom he has shed barrels' of crocodile tears, go to the denmltlon bow-wows or Davey Jones for their summer’s fuel. Surely a financial wizard with n brilliant mind, who discovered this cheap and effective method of putting dealers—who have many thousands of dollars invested in their business, who are on the job 12 months of the year, taking the lean streak in the bacon— out of business. Brother Charlie’s state coal joints with $180 invested, on the job six! months of the \ ear, takes the fat and1 gathers in shekels for himself. Happily fur Nebraska, there are only a few persons who, as governor, would use his official position to pull off a graft like that. Brother Charlie claims to have Raved the consumer thousands of dol lars in their fuel bills. The fact 1*. when a ton of Fredrick lignite coal is, delivered at. $9.50 per ton. the con sumer gets $9.50 worth ' f heat; as coni pared with a ten of (‘anon city, bituminous coal, delivered at *13.50, the consumer gets $14.25 worth of heat. See. report of the geological survey as to the relative value of coals mined In the Louisville (Colo.) lignite distric t and coals mined in the Walsenburg bituminous district. The consumer actually loses in buying Fredrick coal instead of Canon city. When Brother Charlie gets to be president, all business will be revo lutionized. The country will be di vided into 50 or 00 districts, contain | ing about 2.000,000 inhabitant** each, j A warehouse will be built in each district, in which merchandise cf every kind will be stored. One or two thousand henchmen of the adminis tration will be appointed in each dJs triet, whose duty it will be to record the items of merchandise wanted by the people, and send tIi• • lists the I warehouse, with cash paid in advance ; »<V the c ustomer.

This Harrow was not an ignorant one who did not know I ihe significance of his act, but one * signified. He is the same Barrow who re cently helped two supreme fiends of murders escape the consequence of this murder—for a fee. Here he comes now. this same Bar row, boasting openly of'the law which he has violated. Boasting not only of the law. which he has violated in his own person, but which be has a** sisted others even, these bootloggets, to violate.

He never got to finish. l.a Follette and Hie Reds. , Indianola, Neb.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Isn’t it amusing to read Brumbaugh's reiteration that he is g -ing to vote for La Follette? Why, bless your heart, of course he is. I could have told you that before he spoke. No man who compared Jesus Christ, Lincoln and Lenine in the same category would be expected to vote otherwise. All of his color (red) will vote for La Follette. He says: "He does not go as far as I would go, or as far as many of his supporters would go, hut let him go as far as he will, others will take up the flag (of socialism) and carry it on to victory.” Mr. Brumbaugh evi dently considers La Follette a poor substitute for Debs, Emma Goldman, Berkman, Guiteau and others of a like ilk. They think and say that he is not "red” enough to lead them to the promised land of chaos and ruin, but he will start us off and we will be on our way to that land where faith and hope shall cease and where hate and rapine prevail throughout eternal ages. amen. I thank Almighty God every day T live that such people as Brum baugh, Lenine, Goldman, rt al.. find the American people different mate rial from the simple, ignorant jieople of Russia, whom they led to their ruin. Now’. Just a w’ord about voting for La Follette: Hnd he done the right thipg, the decent thing, he should have done at the Chicago convention in 1912, I would vote for him now. but his action then proved him not a patriot, not a statesman, not a pro gressive. but a selfish egotist and a I dog in the mai-ger. I would not com pare Roosevelt to Jesus Christ or to Lenine (God forbid 'the latter), but I do thftik he was the greatest tnan since Lin<f»ln. And La Follette. whose chance it was to name him at Chi cago, and turned it down, quotes him now as others quote the Bible. And further, Mr. Editor, don't let anyone make you think La Follette will carry Nebraska. He will not. Too many voters have memories. Too many voters shv at the sight or shadow of a red flag. Ton many voters think that all these pinksgthese parlor reds these blood reds, should all be giver, passports and allowed to go to their I tnpia in Russia. IV. I M COOL. Mul/ Corrected. Harvard, Neb.—To the Kditor of The Omaha Bee: According lo yester day r paper*, Otto Mutz. charges that Frank Harrison has ruined the La Follette campaign in Nebraska. I wish to take exception to this charge. Mutz and Harrison both have proved themselves incapable and incompetent managers, and if what each says about the other is true, then they are both crooks. But to lalk of the damphonlishness of these nun af fecting La Follette » standing among the rank and file of the farmers and wage e. inters, is pure rot. Thesi voters are going to vote for lai FoJ lette. La Follette would have car ried Nebraska If neither of these men had been born and he will carry Ne braska in spite of anything these men do or fail to do in the campaign. These two unit are thoroughly dis credited, and If they have the honor of a woodchuck they will both strike their tents and silently steal away. .1. M PA Uto Chairman Progressive Party.

The little racket between Mutz and Harrison, rival claim ants for the honor of managing the La Follette campaign in Nebraska, reminds us of an incident of the state campaign of 1894. The republican state committee bought two columns daily on the editorial page of the local democratic organ, and tlie resultant blaze in the democratic camp was not quenched for a year or two. Once upon a time Red Cloud had a street railway.
