The splendid co-operation shown by various or ganizations in conjunction with the Burlington’s ‘Pure-Bred Sire Special” is a matter for congratu lation. Time was, and not so long ago, when such a proposition would have been looked upon with sus picion, coming as it did from a great railroad cor poration. It has been scarcely two years ago that the rail roads adopted a policy that was entirely new. They began buying space in the newspapers in which to tell the people their exact condition. In common parlance, they laid their cards face up on the table and asked the people to sit in and see how the game is actually played. By citations from the actual records, the railroads showed that there had too long been misunderstanding, and that the time had come when all parties to an unfortunate controversy should lay aside prejudices and get acquainted; that each with its peculiar problems should endeavor, honestly and fairly, to reach a common ground upon which they could work amicably. * * • Naturally the railroads did not succeed in con vincing everybody. Neither, it would seem, did the i reight-paying public succeed in convincing the rail load managers. But something was gained because ii great deal of suspicion was allayed and misunder standing removed. It was pretty well demonstrated ihat the real solution of the difficulty does not lie in listening to the glib-tongued politicians, but does lie . in mutual understanding and co-operation upon lines calculated to benefit the whole public, the rail roads included. The charge, often heard, that the Burlington had an ulterior motive in spending thousands of dollars in sending the pure-bred sire train over the state, will not be denied. If asked, doubtless the officials of the Burlington will cheerfully admit that they did it from a rather selfish motive; that they expect to reap a profit for their railroad as a result of the great expense. But It is equally true that nn even greater profit will accrue to Nebraska if the lessons imparted by that special are seized and acted upon intelligently. If Nebraskans do not profit as a re cult of that great undertaking, then the Burlington will have spent thousands of dollars in vain. But if Nebraskans do profit, as they certainly will, then who will begrudge the great railroad a profit on the initial expense that has resulted so beneficially to thousands of men and women? Admitting that the railroad management had a self-interest, let us be honest enough to admit that it was an enlightened self-interest—the self-interest that seeks to profit reasonably from a venture that adds to the happi ness and prosperity of thousands of individuals. • • » The pure-bred sire special has given a new im petus to better dairy herds, better dairying and better co-operation between all classes of our com posite citizenship. And if it has done nothing more than to demonstrate the benefits accruing from whole-hearted co-operation, it hac done something big and beneficial. NOT ACCORDING TO HOYLE. Harlan F. Stone, attorney general of the United States, is much like the president of the United States in one regard. He does not put in much of his time playing polities. While the spellbinders of he opposition are honking and shouting throughout the length and breadth of the land, charging the republican administration with undue friendship for l>ig business, the attorney general keeps right on filing suits in federal courts under the Sherman anti-trust law. His latest is one against the International Har vester, in which he seeks to require that interesting corporation to carry out the term* of a consent de cree, entered some time ago, and restore competi tive conditions in the industry. Not so very long ago he haled a lot of oil companies into court, ask ing them to show cause why they should not be pun ished for operating in restraint of trade. He has also moved against the Chemical Foundation, Inc., to require it to restore to the government certain valuable patents it* president, James A. Garvan, sold to his company while acting as alien property custodian. Even some of the democratic editors have ac cused Mr. Stone of being a bum sport, in thus pro ceeding to knock the spots out of one of their cam paign cria*. He does not play the game the way they would have him. He may be a kill-joy, so far is partisan politics is concerned, but he is certainly a good attorney general for the United States. SCHOOLMASTER DAYS AT WASHINGTON. At St. Louis on Saturday John W. Havis com plained that for three and one-half years congress has been pulling away from the president. He is for restoring unity in government. Just how he will bring this about Mr. Davis did not say. H>, did make some reference to a past democratic a Imin istration, which may justify the inference that he would like to see a return to the good old days when congress was held in leading strings hy the school master. From March 4, 1813, until March 4, 1921, con press had no part in the government of the United States, save to carry out instructions. Bills were prepared at the White House and sent over to the Capitol, with orders that they be enacted without change and without delay. Such orders were car ried out implicitly, the democratic majority in con gress knew its master’s voice, and jumped when that voice was heard. Disobedience or independent thinking met prompt rebuke and even punishment. Witness the president going into Texas, into Oregon, Wisconsin, Georgia, and other states, to instruct voters as to whom they should send to Washington. Put none but the complaisant into congress was the order then. One of the promises made by Warren G. Hard ing was that he would restore constitutional gov ernment at Washington. He did. If congress has wasted its time in useless wrangling, it is because the democrats and the La Folletteites purposely and frivolously interfered with the regular order. The president is not responsible for this. Does Mr. Davis intend to follow the Constitution, or will he surrender his prerogatives to congress? It is very certain he will not be able to dominate that body as did Woodrow Wilson. Unless he should surrender, he would have the same trouble Coolidge hns met, and without the Coolidge capacity for meeting it. COURTS AND LABOR. One of the definite statements made by the La Follette boosters in connection toith the courts is that decisions invariably are in favor of the rich and against the poor. Privilege is always regarded and honest merit rebuffed. That sounds big, and catches a lot of attention. It is not true, however, and never was. In the last three decisions of the supreme court of the United States, wherein labor was involved, the rights of labor unions have been sustained. One of these had to do with the celebrated Coronado case. The United Mine Workers of America had been in court for years at the suit of the coal oper ators. Two years ago a partial victory was won by the union in a supreme court decision. The oper ators pursued the case, and just^ before adjourning for the summer recess the supreme court gave its decision, sustaining the union on every point at issue so far as the international organization is concerned. Another case then decided was one in which the leather workers were involved. It contained a point of the Clayton act. and was determined in favor of the union. The court held that a manufacturing company is not engaged in interstate commerce when operating its plant, and so was not entitled to relief against the union on the assertion that the strike was an interference with interstate commerce. Now comes a third decision, also under the Clay ton act. The supreme court holds that the right to trial by jury in contempt cases arising from a strike injunction can not be denied. This case went up from Wisconsin, on appeal of certain railroad shop hands who were tried by a federal judge on con tempt charges growing out of the strike of 1922. If the records are examined it will be discovered that when right and justice are on the side of the unions they can have the support of the courts. When it is the other way, they must expect to lose, just as any other lit ignnt will lose when in the wrong. Some day labor will cease to listen to the radicals. Will quit defending the McNamaras, the “Skinny" Maddens, the “Umbrella Mikes," and such defamers of their calling. Then the supreme court will not appear as a terrible menace. However, the courts decides cases on their merits, not with regard to the parties, and labor wins when its cause is sound. The experience of twelve years of faithful and efficient service as railway commissioner is an asset that the people should be quick to seize. H. G. Tay lor’s record as a member of the railway commission should commend him to the voters of the state. Yowling about a deficit that did not exist, there- , by giving a black eye to his state, is not the best reason why Brother Charley should have the vote of Nebraska, Brother William to the contrary not withstanding. There are ten reasons why every eligible voter should go to the polls on election dav. The firs' reason is tha' it is a solemn duty as well as a blessed privilege. The other nine reasons need not be given. Samuel Untermeyer is going to uncover some more republican rascality in connection with the slush fund. Gosh, ain’t it awful! But Sam is al ways seeing things, and seldom showing any. Martin W. Littleton hit one bullseve in his speech when he said, “Bob flies the white flag in time of war and the red flag in time of peace.” That states it, tersely and accurately. Due note should be taken by democratic demo crats of the fact that the Brothers Bryan are always true to the party and its ticket when a Bryan is running for something. W. J. Bryan does not say so, but it is easy to gather from his actions that the great proof of Mr. Davis’ trustworthiness was the nomination of Brother Charley. Britons arc throwing bricks and doing other un pretty things, proof of interest taken in the election over there. How uncouth that would be in Ameri cans, though. Five Roosevelts are on the stump in New York, < three on one side and two on the other, showing that the family interest in public affairs is not flng trinpr. Is it possible that Charley’s talk shout saving the people money on coal and gasoline is on a par with his talk about that awful deficit? The Harrison-Mutz imbroglio pretty well con vinces thinking people that the whole La Follettc program is one of self-aggrandizement. The last stand bulletins coming out from the Davis rump are about the lightest reading of the day. -- Homespun Verse —By Omaha's Own Post Robert Worthington Davie ELECTION DAY IS COMING. Election dsv Is drawing near! If everybody goes And votes the way he feels, no one can justly kick. Because the great majority as everybody knows Is In the right, and right will win If It will wield the stick. From far end near the news comes In- and thus the race proceeds. Some keen observer verifies reports from •vor> source; Another deep between ihe lines of oratory reads. And on the strength of prophesy the vlct'ry rests, of course. rimes are not had! The most of us live life as we desire We have pervaded darker da.vs and bravely hon lament,— And If far grant achievements we sincerely aspire.

The La Follette c ampaign has fallen down. When it became apparent that the republican leaders who followed Roosevelt In the party bolt in 1912 failed to Join the l^a Follette ranks, his cause uas lost. Who are the leaders In the progres sive movement in Nebraska? They are the radicals, the malcontents and other persons who would vote the so cialist ticket. Early In the spring of 1924 it was certain that Coolidge would receive the support of the progessive leaders such as Judge J. J McCarthy, Am brose C. Epperson, Harry E. Sackett, A. J. Donahue. Dr. Cl. R. Young, John Lewis, Byron Burbank and many other Nebraska progressives Coolidge and Dawes should and will receive a very large German vote in Nebraska. A very prominent agriculturist of German birth told me recently that he had received a letter front his brother in Germany asking for an other loan with which to buy food. He stated that if the Dawes plan wen? through it would not be necessary to ask for further assistance. This same farmer was greatly gratified over the prospects of the relief the Imwes plan offers his fatherland. lie said that a very large sum of money had been sent to Germany in order to keep their relatives from starving. He said that it was the duty of every American who had loved ones in Germany to vote for Coolidge and Dawes ROSS L. SHuTWKLL T.vpos Endorse No Slate. Omaha—To the Editor of Tin Omaha Bee Several days ago there appeared in the newspapers an ac count of a meeting where a slate for Judicial and legislative offices was en dorsed by "labor bodies" and others. I have been instructed to inform you that the Omaha Typographical union is not one of the "labor bodies referred to, and that it has not en dorsed this or any other slate. Also the Central Labor union on October 17 took the following action in relation to this matter: "It was reported that the Douglas county branch of the < \ I*. P.

I disagree with him about Bible reading and the Lord's Prayer in tho public school*. It would not take more time for the teacher to read a chapter in the Bible and help the ehil dren read the Lord’s Prayer than it dor? to read K» or 20 minutes in a novel or library book, and the Bible would be much better subjects, too. As for the Bible and sacred worship in church only, that will never do. as there are thousands of people that never go to rhureh. as they are not compelled to go, but have, to go t<» s< hool so many day* every year As for having the children repeat the Lord's Prayer while studying their arithmetic lesson, thnt is not neoes s * i y. as the worship Is to be first and i lessons afterward. In regard to hav ing more and better schools now than they had 4U years ago. maybe so in nmo respects, hut not in others, and if we want our children to be bet to morally we have to se* that there 1* more religious work done.
