”1 WANNA BE HAPPY, BUT 1 WON'T BE HAPPY.”
An abundant anew co-. ereu the field of Ne o rs* *a
the same day that wheat e* Id for above $•> a bushel
a*. Chicago. Ir. ve ' b - ?»: of a great crop for
another harvest almost e er . oooy rejoiced. A e say
aimost ai *edly. S ' e fa*'-* •'• -e stretched even
longer. Some coantenarce* were more -nan com
monly lugubrious in expression. Tr.*.*e of ’he de
voted democrat*, who can not divorce themselves
from the idol of free t-ade, refuse to be comforted.
President Co' at that •
the report of his agr cultural r- mm ssion. Recom
mending that certain -ugge*' or.s be erac-erj m’o
law without delay. Chiefly the preside - • am:* -rat
the home market b* preserved for the home pro
ducer. That Arcer-car.* buy and cc 'time such *• iff
as Amerma brings forth. When ’he process has
gone on a little longer, the home market will take
care of the farm.
There antes the doleful chant of a small but per
sistent chorus. “I wanna be happy, but 1 won’t be
happy, till I can make Europe happy too!” If these
could only be assured that the fac’orie* of the Old
World were dumping their product into the market*
of f'ne New World; that Nebraska farmers had a free
and unrestricted chute to carry the grain from their
field* to England, France and Germany, there to
tra^e it for manufactured wares how joyous all
would be.
The sight of an American farmer with an Ameri
can-made jack-knife in hi* pocket is too much for
these. Somewhere in the R ir.r a German workman
out of a job becau-e an American Ls employed.
Of cour«e this Is wrong. If ** were not wholly
(elfish, we would break down the wail that now pro
tect* the American factory, put out its fire*, stop its
wheels, and rejoice that aero** the ocean prosperity
was restored by a •- rnp> act of sacrifice on our part.
However, charity a’ill begin* at home. Americans
would like to see Europe happy, and believe the day
will come. But the free traders ask too much.
OVER CHARGING THE MELTING POT.
Baron Shidehara, rr,ini-*.cr of foreign affair* for
Japan, lectures the United States indirectly because
r f it* exclusion of the Japanese. A nation that
holda itself aloof, he -ays, can not e.r.dure. Japanese
his'ory is proof of this statement. 5 et Minister
Shidehara has too narrow a view of the *ituation.
He looks at th« ea-e through Japane e glares, and
fails to note orr^- aspects of the problem that are
even more important than the admission of emi
grants from the empire of the Rising Sun.
Census of 1920 totals disclose the presence in
the United States of 12.929,092 foreign-bom resi
dent*. The total of foreign white stock, that is
adding to the foreign-horn, those born here, one of
'whose parents at lea»t was horn abroad, is 30,390,
958. Every nation known is represented in the list.
And in that fact lies the problem that is ever present
to perplex American statesmen.
From Europe came the original stock of Ameri
cans, From Europe have come millions of others.
From the end* of the earth have gathered represen
tatives of all the tribe* of man. Mingling together
In daily Intercourse, moved by common impulse to
the betterment of tFcir own conditions and so con
tributing to the betterment of conditions for all,
the*e make up the citizpnry of the greatest nation
on earth. Proof in plenty is available of the devo
tion of these citizens to the land in which they live.
Yet proof in plenty Is present that, our melting
pot not as yet. done its perfect work. We are
heterogenous, not homogenous. Slowly the process
of assimilation Is being carried on, but age-old race
root| are not easily obliterated. So long as the love
of America is first in the minds of all, this is well.
Mother land is not to be forgotten. Home land
•houjd and does come first, but centuries of training
and 'tradition do not vanish with the setting of the
first, day’s sun in the new world.
In time the solution will be worked out. Just
ea the original Bulgarian tribes became Greek, the
Gotha and Vandals were transmuted into Italian*,
the ^forse rover* Into French, and the Angles,
UanaK, Saxons and Normans evolved Into English,
to will an American race in time appear. Just, now
we are not holding aloof from the world, but sre
enfolding all the world in our national life. Rhide
hara and those who think as he doe* ought to con
sider the problem a little more in detail.
LITTLE ITEMS IN A BIG BILL.
When folk* talk about America these day* they
glibly speak of a land who*e wealth is in the
neighborhood of $350,000,000,000. Not one in a
huririred think of what that means. Not one in a
million ha* any conception of what 350,000 million
dollar piles would amount to. We just say a billion
and let, it go at that. If Adatn had started work at.
$5 a day when he left the Garden of Eden and hail
kept steadily on until now, his earnings still would
be short of a billion dolls!'.
Qut Americans are making u«e of the enormous
*nm of wealth that i- then" Annual gross ineome
of our people ia somewhere in the neighborhood of
$70,000,000,000. How thi* i* made up is interest
Htg. Not all of It comes from the enormous wealth
producing operations of the hasic industries, »urh as
agriculture, which add* a billion dollars a month to
tha toU\l, Tha Census Buieau now and then dis
dote* he« imaler eoEtrtbutor* Many of these
>«< im.preiirve standing by themselves.
For example, it is row disclosed that 1921 *-.«
value of manufactured gas and by-product* in *'.e
United States was *4M,09M22. Produr*i of -in*
ehemieal industry that year were valued at
49-1,949. Canned fruit, vegetables ard p -kit* that
year added *515,510,492 to the total. So it g-»*
with ether item*. Each industry i« making «ot.*
thi-z 'rat i« to he counted in the ge-era! sum. *"i
when all a-e afwmbied the aggregate -’.a! i*

And most of this enormous *otal is u*ed a* home.

Tr* most opp « *ion to th#* prop **fl
amendment ha* beer, directed to the first section. A
decided unwillingness to g ► any more power to
rr.rgre** is generally ma* fe*-. Particularly power
that w-uid enable rongT< *« to “limit, regulate, a d
prohibit the labor of person* ir.der 1* ■ *ar« of age.
The?* objection* are not to he answered by saying
congress may he ’rusted. Ferstor P.eed, in a speech
to the Nebraska Bar association in Omaha not many
(iav* ago, said: “There are miser* of everything
hut power.”
Ample ard ro’ altogether pleasant experience
ha* shown that corgre** is not mi*erly of power.
The amendment is defeated at present, hut the
movement to do away with the induatrial abuse* that
flow from child labor will not he checked. The
proee** of education neee**ary may take longer, but
it will he safer in the end.
DISCIPLINE THE FOUNDATION.
Action of the house republican leaders in with
holding invitations to a party caucus from supporter*
of I-a Toilette will excite anew the discussion that
followed action of the senate along similar line*. It
resolves itself into a question of party di*ciplir:e.
Regularity, if you want to call it that.
Twelve members of congre**, elected a* repub
licans, decided for themselves to oppose the party’.*
candidate for president. In this act they were wholly
within their right*. Any man may change h.« party ;
affiliation* at piea*ure. B it, when he ha* done so,
and ha* labored to the extent of hi* ability to dis
rupt and destroy the party he ha* abjured, he has
no right to participate further in the councils of
that party.
It may he that the recreant members of the re
publican group in congre** thought of this when they
took their little flyer in insurgency last summer. The
consequence* are now to be :mpre*«ed upon them
Whatever the future may hold for them in politic*
or otherwise, they have forfeited the right to consult
a* to the affairs of the republican party.
It would he the same with any party. In the
ca«e of the sociali*t party, from whom La I^illette
got his principal organised *upport, the member who
opposes any of the party's nominees, or supports one
not named by the socialists, is automatically dropped
from membership. If our government is to continue
as founded on the party system, parties to be fit for
power must be responsible. In order to be re*pon
rible, they must have discipline. Republicans are
simply enforcing discipline. The man who fights the
party openly in a national campaign ha* no right to
regard himself as a member of the party. If he is
honest with himself, he will not. *eek to do so.
Roscoe Pound and Irvine S. Gutter arc r.ot the
only one* who were kicked upstairs from Nebraska.
Colonel "Bill” Hayward i« another notable instance.
Next time Senator Wheeler want* Gaston B.
Mean* a* a witness he will find him easily. Means
will be near Atlanta, Ga., for the next two years.
Crand opera went $400,000 in tin hole in <’hi
racro last season. Evidently there wasn't enough jazz
in the program.
Seventeen convention* for February will take
some of the sting out of Friday the 13th.
Speaking of sinecures, how would you like to be
President Coolidge's private atenographer?
Prohibition of the cross-word puzzle is all that ia
needed to make it well nigh universal.
Why should any eligible ex-service man be with
out a l.egion card and button?
Those senatorial uplifter* are finding Attorney
General Stone hard to break.
Mr. Bryan denies that he is out of politic*. Who
ever thought he was?
Wheat at $2 promises anything but hard time*
in Nebraska.
Passing resolution* will not end war, nor cure
