IN THE PROPER SPIRIT.
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.

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.
We must depend upon ourselves and not the Prtsl
dent. ^

Nebraska for Coolidge.
Omaha.—To the Editor of The
Omaha Bee: Coolidge and l>a\ves will
carry Nebraska by over 35,000. 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

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. A. had
among their endorsements for distric t
Judges included the name of ('harlot*
K. Foster. Motion was made and
seconded that the c entral Labor union
repudiate the statement that organ

Religion in the Schools.
Weston. Neb.—To the Kditor of
i’he Omaha Bee: 1 have read Frank
Martin's letter in Thursday's Omaha
Hee. 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.

And how many Omaha people remember the old days of
the cable cars? Is It a mere coincidence that the nM ruble
power station at Twentieth and Harney Is now occupied by an
automobile sales agency?
Speaking of the cable cars, we have a lively recollection of
an irrepressible small boy who loved to tie a bunch of tin can* ■
to a string, then drop one end of the string through *be cable w
slot and let It catch on the cable. It was great fun to watch
the tin cans go boUdng down street. Them was indeed ihe
happy days. That boy i« now a sedate man approaching middle

When the Idea sold by the pure-bred sire train lia« taken
firm hold on Nebraskans, this state will increase in butt"i pro

one who knows Nebraska we have no hesitancy in saying that
this grand state has the makings of the greatest dairying state '
in the union.
Of course we have met a few who sneer at the train and at
the idea it promotes, but happily they are few. Such are In
deed hopeless, and from them can be expected nothing calcu
lated to promote the greater prosperity of the state.
