Omaha*U}here the IDest is at its Best
LET’S HAVE THE LOYALTY LEAGUE.
Sentiment is rapidly crystallizing along the linos
ihat mean good for Omaha in all ways. Not in many
jears has such an intense community spirit been
noticed as is manifesting itself today. Dreams do
not control, unless it be that some of those of past,
days are about to be realized. Practical plans for
expanding the city’s life and worthy activities arc
being brought forward, supported by influences that
will make them effective.
A Loyalty League is now proposed—rather, the
initial steps to its organization for work are being
taken. Its name explains its purpose. To set
Omaha's stakes a little further ahead each day by
giving support to Omaha institutions- To buy goods
that are made in Omaha and handled here by Omaha
dealers. Such a mission can have only one effect
when properly carried out. When goods made in
Omaha are sold in Omaha, Dip benefit is shared by
all. ' Expanding business means increased pay rolls.
Pay rolls, as Henry Ford explains, are more than
mere rows of figures on a sheet of paper. They
are coal bins, and grocery bills, and children in
school. The home depends on the pay roll.
Why should Omaha pay tribute to the east or
any other place for the things that ran as well be
produced in Omaha?
The principle is the one on which thp industrial
supremacy of the United Slates has been built. A
protected market, all but closed to the competition
of the world. Omaha need not enact any protective
tariff law. Its best and surest protection is that
adopted by the Loyalty League promoters. Buy
homo products at home.
Malcolm D. Baldridge has set in motion a great
project. It will get the undivided support of all who
have the good of Omaha at heart. A Loyalty League
is needed. If ft becomes the militant organization
it may eas ly bf nu de, its influence on the future of
the city will run without mci ure throughout the
coming year*. •
HI5 MONUMENT ENDURES.
When Edward H. Harriman was assembling his
executive staff of railroad builders, one of his "lirst
selections was Julius Krutschnitt. Now, having
reached the three score and ten mark. Mr. Krut
schnitt is about to lay aside active work, and rest
on “borrowed time.” His was the engineering abil
ity that translated the visions of his great leader
into practical reality. Harriman saw what should
he done, Krutschnitt. found the way to do it.
The Union Pacific, the Southern Pacific, the Cen
tral Tacific, were trahsformed under the genius of
this pair. Rebuilt, refitted, given more capable
tools, these l'nes became wonderful agents in the
service of man. Harriman had them welded into
one harmonious system, closely cn-opcrattng on all
points. Transportation in the west was revolution
ised by the combination. The great development
foreseen by the builder was made possible by the
service provided by his competent lieutenant.
When the federal courts set about to unscramble
the eggs, and the Harriman system was dismembered,
Krutschnitt went back to the "Etspee," and set about
to carry it further along to the goal originally set
for it. As a railroad men he was first of all an en
gineer. Looking at all problems, administrative or
operative, from the viewpoint of practicality. Under
his direction and control, the Southern Pacific sys- i
tern has come up to a high standard of efficient
service.
Nothing better could he said of .tulius Krut
schnitt than to point to his achievement. His great
chief was not spafed to see the culmination of his
dream. Krutschnitt was privileged to take over a
portion of the job and carry it along to great ends.
Harriman has posthumous vindication in the provi
sion made by the transportation art for consolidation
of lines into systems. Krutschnitt lived to see this,
ard he may retire with the pride of a good workman
in a job well done. His monument will endure.

THE AWARD WILL STAND.
Mr. Coolidge has answered the Peruvian note
after the manner that was to he expected That
is, he tells them that the decision of the arbitrator
is “final and without appeal." He also declines to
give consideration to Peru’s proposal that Americans
he substituted for Chilean officials, pending the
plebiscite. Now, it is in order to look for the carry
ing out of the award.
Suggestion has been made that Peru did not.
make its protest in good faith. That is, the move
was a gesture to indicate a desire to continue the
controversy as it has gone on for forty years. Taena
and Arica are the “lost provinces,” the “irredenti
of Peru. President after president has pledged him
self to the restoration of these provinces, hut none
has made headway. Now the end is at hand. Peru's
politicians do not relish th*» prospect, and that ex
plains the appeal to Washington, to whirh the presi
dent has made reply, standing by his decision as arbi
trator in the case.
Friends of the League of Nations see in the in
etdent. argument for their cause. The United States
pains the favor of Chile by forfeiting that of Tern
Had the decision been made by a group of nations,
Instead of one, then disyleasuit would at least be
I
ineffectual because of being disper-ed. The argu
ment is mor# ingenuous than convincing. An honest
derision, honestly made, never ran have a lasing
• ffect against the tribunal or individual who makes
it. Pehu may be chagrined, disappointed, even peev
ish, over the outcome. But this -entmient will dis
appear. The probity of the United States will out
weigh any resentment of the Peruvians. The strong
can always afford to be patient with the weak. In
lime the people of Peru will value the friendship of
that great American republic, and rely on it again,
as they have in the past. In any event, the future
of Tama and Arica rests with the voters of these
provinces.
POLITICS AND DEBTS IN FRANCE.
An adverse vote of the French senate toppled
ever the Herriot cabinet, and France is all at rea
again. A victory for Poincare, but with no com
pensating balance of a definite forward policy com
ing from him does not promise tranquility or prog
lcss for the republic. Germany's election is pro
ceeding under the sinister shadow of the wood
cutter of Doom. This, too, will have its reflex in
France.
Along with the crisis ought to be considered the
attitude of the United States as regards the debt
owed us by the French. Opportunity will shortly he
given M. Daschner, ambassador from France, to state
the intentions of his government on the question,
i.'nele Sam has not sought to be looked upon as a nag
ging creditor. But he lias not been encouraged by the
fopearance of France as a disdainful debtor. Espe
cially is this irritating when the French government
effects to regard with little favor the proposal to
further reduce national armament. Objections set
up on the part of France, and now being considered
by other governments, are not regarded as put forth
in very serious mood.
In the budget which the Herriot government
sought to balance by resort to a capital levy are
contained provisions for increase of armament that
are not only extravagant hut unnecessary. Why, for
example, should the French people at this moment
bp asked to assume the cost of rebuilding the French
navy? Yet the government has adopted a twenty
year construction program, running well into the bil
lions of francs, to bring the French navy up to the
Jull strength permitted under the Washington agree
ment. Expenditures for the army are on a similar
scale, so that France will keep up a military estab
lishment costly beyond the ability of the ppople to
maintain.
Talk of taking from the rich some part of their
wealth and devoting it to public usp is the socialistic
'ormula by which the Herriot plan is expressed. If
it were a great public crisis, the scheme might have
support. Just now it looks like the subterfuge of
politicians who lack the courage to take the path
wisdom points out. France i« not now in danger of
attack from without. It is, however, faring a grave
danger within. It will he sorrowful if the nation
that survived the extravagance of the Bourbons, the
calamities of the revolution, the dehauch of Na
poleon, and the disaster of the Third empire, should
now he wrecked by a group of incompetent political
schemers. Yet the world has faith in the indomita
ble spirit of the French people. They have saved
the home land at other times. If they get the op
portunity, they will save it now.
SAFETY FIRST FOR THE KIDDIES.
Whatever may be the attitude of the people of
the United States toward the child at work, the child
at play is getting better things. Reports made to
the Playground and Recreation Association of Amer
ica all tend to establish the fact that supervised play
brings good results. Deaths from accident are re
duced in number, because danger of accident is
guarded against. In many cases it is entirely elim
inated. This is possible, of course, only where the
organization is such as permits careful oversight of
t ie youngsters as well as ample provision for their
games and recreations.
The first big effect of supervised playgrounds in
a city is the removal of the children from the streets.
“Kids will play In the street," a well known apo
thegm impressed on the minds of motorists, still pre
vails, but not to the extent that it did before the
swiftly moving traffic made the streets terribly dan
gerous for youngsters bent on the enjoyment of
childhood. Development of the playground as we
know it now dates from the coming of the automo
bile Communities quickly saw the need of providing
for the children, who must have a place out of doors
to play. The need has been generously provided
for in most, American cities.
Omaha has made much progress in the matter of
playgrounds. Those established are well equipped
and well looked after. Others are to he added dur
ing thp coming summer. Park Commissioner Hum
mel has always put extra etnphasis on making
provision at the parks for the youngsters. X'nder
his watchful eyp the service has rome to he greatly
appreciated by the mothers, who, after all. are most
concerned in the playgrounds. Safety first for the
kiddies i« a good practice.
The head of Harvard informs us that a number
of students who drink, exrent on stated occasions,
i< small. Wp know a number of men right here in
Omaha who drink exactly like that.
A wife faking an attack to get her husband home
early is something of a relief front a husband fak
ing an engagement to explain why he got home no
late.
Donald MacMillan's efforts to find a newr con
tinent in the region of the North Pole should he sup
plemented by an effort on the part of a lot of Amer
icans to rediscover the real United States.
Again Ik may he noticed that none of Senator
Norris' rebukes to his republican constituents bear
a date coinciding with .hat of election day.
We hasten to call Wizard Burbank’s attention to
the fact that to date the only discovered use for the ;

of our leading men in regard to help

fanners to a certain extent are to
Idame. Land Is worth just what it
will produce and no more. Some farms
sell as high as from $200 to $450 an
acre. A man pays taxes according to
assessed valuation: perhaps ha will
farm this land, and more apt to rent
nut to some good farmer, taka half
no raises delivered at market, and T
know some that take half and $1 cash
in acre. This renter can’t do that,
hut farming is nil he knows and mud

his farm is watered stock. Pay taxes
