"hen tlie Geneva protocol went into the discard, because England and the British Dominions declined to adhere to it,the question of a conference on further disarmament was practically referred to the United States. President Coolidge is moving with com mendable directness to the task of ascertaining the disposition of other powers toward such a confer ence. His instructions to Secretary Kellogg arc direct, and should develop the attitude of the sev eral powers. Since the Washington conference, called hv Pres ident Harding, much change has been experienced. Naval limitations then agreed upon have hern faith fully observed. But expansion of air power has caused a great deal of uneasiness. ,Vt. the moment England is disturbed to an unusual degree by the determination of the tory government to so increase ihe air fighting forces of the nation as to give it superiority in the air as well as on the water. Japan. France and Italy have driven steadily ahead in ac cumulating fighting aircraft, and only the United States has as yet declined to join in this race, which exceeds in some ways the feverish competition for sea power of the days just before the World War. This phase of the armament question must he. dealt with. At the Washington conference France declined to consider the reduction of land forces, in which the aircraft ara included. On the plea of Briand, the discussion of this point was adjourned, and action was restricted to naval armament. Land armament is now as important, and has apparently reached a stage as acute, as was the navy then. Not only does the situation constitute a menace to peace, but it places an economic burden on nations indulg ing in the luxury of large land forces they can ill afford. The patient, patriotic British taxpayer com plains loudly against the program adopted hy the Baldwin cabinet, while French, Italian and Japanese people would welcome anything that will lessen the load of taxation. Japan’s recent treaty with soviet, Russia, in ac cordance with the which the Sinclair concession for oil in Sakhalin was annulled, stimulates resentment toward the United States on account of the exclusion policy. It is hinted that this will be made a factor in any arms conference. We may dismiss that, for purely domestic questions will scarcely lake much time at such a consultation. It, is interesting, too, that the Mackenzie-King note, transmitting Canada's refusal to adhere to the Geneva protocol, laid much stress on the traditional friendship between Canada end the United States. The Dominion could not, said the premier, consent to an agreement, one of the sanctions of which might break if not destroy the relations that have existed so long. We believe the conference Mr. Coolidge has in mind will do as much as did the Harding conference to clear the way for international understanding. GOOD FOR LOS ANGELES. Roscoe Arbuckle, who came in for quite a bit of publicity a year or so ago, is coming in for a little more. Recently his wife secured a divorce from him, over in Paris, so he set about to get married again. Seemingly he had little trouble in finding a woman to assume the position of bride, but this was the least of his trouble*. In the great city of Los Angeles he could not find a minister or a magistrate who would perform •he wedding ceremony. Consequently, his second honeymoon is postponed. We do not doubt but somewhere he will find somebody to say the words that will make him a husband for another stretch. The thing to be noted is that no properly authorized person in Los Angeles would he a party to the pro ceedings. The outside world will he convinced by this that a change has come over the spirit of the dream out there. Marriage and giving in marriage has been a rather loose sort of proceeding among the motion picture folks. Sort of a till in between the lot and something else. Divorce courts in various parts of the world have been kept busy by them. Many kinds of scandal have interested casual readers. Some of it has been publicity, most of it ha* been nauseating. So it is good to read that ministers and judges have declined to write at least one additional line to the unsavory record. The reaction will not hurt the moving picture industry in the least, nor injure the honest men and women who are engaged in the business. WHERE WAS HIS PHILOSOPHY’ A “well known philosopher” hanged himself it his home in New York. No reason is assigned in the new* dispatch. He probably “took up arm* against a sea of troubles.” Rut. that will not an swer the question that must, come up in the minds of everybody who read* the item. Philosophy is supposed to he the bridge that helps the mind across the chasms of life. The crutch I chat sustains in hours of adversity. A true philoso pher is neither uplifted In prosperity, nor downcast when hi* fortune* are evil. He has, or should have, (the balance of mind, the equipoise of manner, the egen outlook on life that, sec* neither the up* or riowr.i. If he know* anything, it should he the I emptiness of human ambitions, the uncertainties of I human triumphs, the futility of human efforts. Ill ■ '-Si* ': ' Philosopher understand how vain are pretenses that bravely gesture of greatness and duration. Knowing this, the philosopher should rise above earthly consideration. For him, if for anybody, V t |* tong and time is fleeting. And nttr hearts, though stout nnd hrnve, Still like muffled drums ate beating Funeral marches to the grate." In this knowledge he should gain a courage that would make him superior to "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune," and enable him to wait with patience for the summons that comes in time to all. Why did he hasten to meet the unknown, when he was surrounded on all sides by the unknowable? Where was his philosophy, when he fame to face the “great adventure"? There is one place where faith surpasses wisdom, "Though He slay nte, yet will I trust Him,” is the profoundest philosophy ever spoken. WHAT DOES PARTY MEAN? In his reply to the information on which hi« oust ing from the senate is sought, Smith W. Brookhart brings out an interesting phase of the controversy. He denies that he abandoned the republican party. On his own declaration that hp stood on the princi ples of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt, he presented himself to the voters, and by them was placed on the republican ticket. No power of the state committee, he avers, could remove him from the ticket. What constitutes a party? Is it an orderly or ganization of men and women of similar minds, seek 'ng to attain a common purpose through united ac tion? Or, is it a loose confederation of individuals and groups, sueh as were the primitive tribes of man? i Where one chieftain or warrior may, when moved by ■ /-\ Letters From Our Readers All letters must be signed, but name will be withheld upon request.

York, Neb.—To tft* Kditor of The Omaha lire: I do not wish to add to 1 he* propaganda, hut wish to rite Mr. Norris a thing or two that he does not seem to have heard from the radio of events in the recent past, lie may make light of the jolt the vie# presi ilent gave the senate and < all reproofs "propaganda.'’ arid snap his finger a’ his supporter s in a manner as to .-ay. I am elected now and will do as 1 please, as niv vote of confidence gave rue mandate to do." If that is what he thinks, he has at least one more think corning. His vote was not in any sense an endorsement of his op position to the president, but in spite of that. We will give a litllg proof of that statement. Hilling the campaign last year I saw a knot of men in town in quite an animated propaganda ' mood, so l just sidled around into hearing dis lance And one **f the first things I caught was from ,« prominent Herman republican. He 'aid. I don't like Norris vet v well for the wav ha mis tn «ts his own i*arty, but ha whs op posed to our enraging tire war. and then he Is opposed to the I.eHgtia of Nations, so I try to stand tire rest on that account. Then the leader of the democratic, hunch said ' I don't like him or iris politics, nor for Ins opposition to our entering the wai I think he was wrong there bur he i* against the league, and that a the point with me. If our party had put i p h no league man we could l»ea* Him easy.

Hut W'hat Is tire use ’ He 1« joined to his idols. If be had been elected for six months instead of six veais we would soon be done with him. Now. there is another point 1 wish to ha mi him. He rnav have overlooked the fact that President Hoolldge was nonil nated and elected hv the treopte of tills country, and the only logical Idea P carries hi connection with his own is a mandate to run along with i *ool idge Now a strong kick about the kicking against the demoting of nr rulv men In the senate, and I will test my rase with the readers of The Omaha Bee Those outlaw* (political) and some papers corning to their defense have overlooked the viral point in this con troversy. It Is not that t hev ran nr rannnt vote with or again** the i epiihlicu ns. It Is a law or rule of the senate that the chair manshlp of a committee. In case of death or failure of re elec lion of the i halrma n, the honor ami crown fells to his net! older brother on the committee, and under the rules he' ha* so much power over the work of ' tile senate that the party elected o ■ eitain promises or platform Is t here fore tesponalbl# to the people to put [that through, and to let the opposi tion have control of the works would I»e like I’ershinff giving our box s' guns and supplies to Germany. Would that bunch think that right? No* So savs KICK HU. Grateful for Assistance.

Was going to write some xood words about it, hut since we use a type writer, how'n thunder could we? If il were not for the red dav anil and acrul* oak grove* a ride across Texas would be very much like a ride across Ne braska. Same rolling prairies, same illimitable distances, same far-off sky line. Texas is big. but it is only in size that Texas excels Nebraska. Our agricultural output is greater than that of Texas. But thev do produce a lot of oil down here, and they have hundreds of miles of paved highways. One such has been practically paralleling our track for the past three hours. j Must lie getting clown Into the cotton belt. CJreat Adds show the young cotton plants peeping above ground. We've never raised cotton, but we do know a tiling or two about rais- j ing tobacco. If there Is any harder work than raising and curing a tobacco crop we never discovered It.

Nobody in the car to ask about it. and if there was I’d j be afraid to ask. There might be some rule against it. There is the rule against using typewriters.

But nary a , Texan on hoard except the porter, and he's from Missouri. The Pullman conductor is from St. Louis. Haven’t asked the sole female jKrssenger where «he hails from. Kind o' glad there s nobody to talk to, however. Am so mad about that typewriter we d be pretty apt to swear if we started talking. Texas must >>e short on Child Savers and Moral Fplifter* For several hours we have been running through a cotton heir. If we could see a river off to one side we might think we were riding up the North Platte valley. The cotton fields look very much like beet fields, and one see th»* shacks In which the cot ton workers live. These shacks do not average up so well a« the beer workers’ shacks, but each one houses more children. But down heie the shark families are all negroes and each one looks like a county picnic. But we look and listen in vain to see or hear any professional uplifters weeping over the woe* of the«e negro children. Doubtless the negro children would re sent any interference.
