' t Schleswiggers voted to unite with Denmark, thereby showing good judgement. It might have, been the same if Prussia had permitted the plebiscite several decades ago.

It will findthat when it comes to handling funds the officers of labor unions are about as careful and conservative as the mosj confirmed capitalist. Get to Work Some of the British newspapers are disposed to adopt a scejlding attitude toward this country for its failure, through the government or other wise, freely to make loans and extend credits for the rehabilitation of Europe. As an ex ample, and in a tone which might be more in gratiating, America is told by the Westminster gazette that "her own trade interestslone will rompel her to play her part in the world, .and mat part will involve her in financial aid to Other nations." This is quite true. The same thing has re peatedly been said by The World. But the compulsion spoken of cannot be applied arbi trarily. It can only be imposed by the natural laws of trade. The conclusion, accordingly; is that Western Europe must somehow contrive to produce rnore goods for sale in this market and to get along with fewer purchases of goods in this market. It must get over the notion that any easier way exists to recover from the industrial havoc and ruin of war or that full recovery can be made in a single bounfl. It must think lew of loans from somewhere and more of self-help. It mast talk less of what dire things will happen to America and get to work more, as Mr. HHoover said. . ' i The further fall in the New York exchanges yesterday on England, France and Italy to new low records is just an additional warning to the same J effect both for Europe and the United' State's. It means for. all concerned hat there must be less living on credit. and more work and saving. New York World, LESSON OF THE KIRK CASE. ' The report of the majority of the commis sion named by the State Bar association to m- veftigate the Kirk furlough matter sustains the view stated by The Bee at the outset. No evi dence of bad faith on part of any of the state officers or attorneys is found. The "furlough" I plan for liberating -convicts is condemned as without authority of law, although sanctioned by custom. The minority report endorses the findings of the majority, but adds that responsi bility rests on the governor, whether he is pres ent in the' state or not. This does not follow". . Plainly the lesson of the" Kirk case is that greater security may be placed around the par doning power. Broader and clearer definition of its extent, with sharper limitations to its ex ercise, should be provided. As an attribute .of arbitrary power,-it properly rests in the ex ecutive, whose determination should be final, but the governor, whoever-ie may be, will very likely welcome any relief from the function that frequently puts him in a decidedly awkward po sition. Clemency-is never to beNdenied, rior the avenffes of approach to its application made more difficult, but under a reasonable arrange ment of statutory regulations its' exercise can be made such as will engender less of aMverse criticisjn. ' While the disposition finally rests with the executive, he uses the power in full knowledge that his act is subject to review by the public, and that he will meet with, condemnation from some. He knows, moreover, the great ma jority of the people of the state confide in his judgrhent, and are . willing to 'accept his de cisions because of their faith in his integrity. In the pgst many pardons have been granted that did not on all points aquare with public sentiment, and yet whtre most objection has teen raised least harm has resulted. The comment by the commission on the re lation between the executive afrd practicing at torneys is one that brings in the personal equa (tioq and is not a subject for legislative enact ment, bar association regulation or public dis cussion. Abraham Lincoln: A Man. Americans, no matter how busy, will paiffe for a moment today to pay respectful and admiring tribute to the memory of Abrah am Lincoln. America has produced other statesmen, more profoundly learned and more deeply versed in Jhe science of government, as keenly concerned for the welfare of the people, and in the highest degree patriotic, whose service to the country was large and generous, and yet who have left no such impression on the imagination and af fection of their countrymen, Other men have risen from poverty and obscurity to positions of power and Influence, and have died leaving no greater gap in the social fabric than follows the withdrawal of the ordinary mortal. What, then, distinguishes Abraham Lincoln from the rest? Abraham Lincoln lives foret'er because he lived while he was here in the flesh. It is not his ability as a rail splitter, school teacher, flat boat man, grocery clerk, surveyor, lawyer, sol dier, congressman, or president, or all com Mned that gives him his pre-eminence. It was that almost divine quality of understanding and sympathy with the people, his deep perception and quick response to 'the problems and per plexities of the plain folks. "God must love the common people, because he made sovmany of them," said Abraham Lincoln. He loved justice and did right instinctively; hfs heart beat in tune with that of the masses, and his wonderfully clear and vigorous mind was devoted to their service. His principles and precepts were so expressed that all might un derstand, and clsarly pointed the way to human liberty, the square deal, and a better way of living. That is why the name of Abraham Lin coln shines among th,e brightest of all ages, and, why it's luminosity increases as time goes on. Trade Practice and Good Ethics. One of the knotty and really irritating'prob lems befdre the Federal Trade commission has to do with ' a trade practice that seems well founded, both ethically and morally, and yet is capable of abuse to such an extent as gives' it the aspect of a genuine menace. Has thewhole saler the right to rebate to a retailer any de cline in the market on goods already delivered? On the surface it would appear that this should be answered in the affirmative. Yet the Federal Trade commission has cited a number of whole sale druggists tcTlippear and make defense for doing just this thing. Primarily, unless the re tailer is given this rebate, he is required to sell on the basiSj of the higher price, and thus .be placed at disadvantage with regard to ' his competitor who has purchased later, or to buy in small quantities for immediate resale, and thus lose the benefit in price: freight rates and other ways ,that come with blying in large lots. Assuming that the practice is unfair, as the H Trade commission appears to believe, in that it opens a way to possible abuse, does it not in volve something more dangerous? If the wholesaler is denied the right to give his cus tomers the benefit of market changes, saw as purchases are made, will jiot the process of stepping down from the high to a lower price level be retarded? It is easy eiougb, to get prices up, but not so easy to get them back, and anything that interferes with the facility of the process is not good for the public. Reorganizing the National Guard. It seems to tie pretty well established that theNational Guard is to be reformed as part of the plan for the defense of the union. When thi3 is sty about, it may well be on a basis 'of greater efficiency than before existed. As arf integral part of the national army, the Guard should have an importance it never before en joyed because of its almost exclusive staje character. But this new relation should not be made a reason for neglect by the state. Ne braska was one of the most conspicuous of fenders in this regard. The Nebraska National Guard at no time received the encouragement it properly deserved, and as a result the fact that the state had the nucleus of two active regiments when the war came is a tribute lo the patriotic character of the young men who made up the organization, and no credit to the people of the state, who were content to see the institution languish for lack of deserved sup port. Jf the Guard is reived in Nebraska, it should be given an opportunity for a decent ex istence, and not be subject to such opposition as was neted in connection with the Otoe county armory bonds case. Give the boys a chance, furnish them with necessary equipment, . ample armories" and encampment fields, and they will give the state service to be proud of. It is too much to ask them to serve as they did and expect a high grade of efficiency to de velop under the conditions. ' ' : 5 Problems oj the Immigrant From the New York Times. If Secretary Lansing errs at all in his re quest for funds to regulate immigration, it is on the side of moderation. Great as are bur present problemswith regard to the alien within our gates they bid fair in the near future to become much greater. During Jie fiscal years of 1918 and 1919 the totals ofimmigration were only 110.618 and-141,132. respectively. With the in crease of Atlantic shipping the total rose to ap-r proximately 45,000 a month, or 540,000 a year. As our commerce expands there is every pros 'pect that 'immigration will keep pace witH it American wages, at all times fabulous from the European point of view, have increased in pro portion to the rise in our exchange. Before the war immigration passed the million mark in only six years 1914, 1913, 1910, 1907, 1906 and 1905. Already it has -reached half of this maximum, and if strict measures are not applied it is very soon likely to exceed it. Secretary Lansing asks the house of representatives for $450,000 to en force the wartiin restrictions, and in doing so he points out that the government's receipts for the vise of passports re more tha"n double this sum. The charge is $2 for each immigrant. At the prespnt rate of immigration this amounts to more than $1,000,000 yearly. ... Supervision at fhe port of entry touches only a single detail, and a relatively small one, in the problem as a whole. This has been lumi nously described as the problem of "qualitative selection and scientific distribution." Qualita tive selection is already under way in Italy. Tak ing advantage of the fact that the demand for passports greatly exceeds the capacity of out going ships, our consuls in Italian cities are re ported to be thoroughly scrutinizing each ap plicant. Italians who have been to Russia or who are known to.be social agitators are barred, as are also all who have been arrested on any charge. In addition the applicant is obliged to establish a food character and prove himself thoroughly literate. This involves mucti added labor; but as in the case of the enforcement of restrictions at the port of entry, the expense is amply covered by passport fees. The Naples consulate alone stands to clear $100,000 this year above all expenses. With such a system in general use abroad, the labor and expense of surveillance oq this side would be very sensibly reduced.' ' A bill which Senator Kenyon has introduced covers the problem as it presents itself Jocally in America. It is called an Americanization bill, and it provides, for the first time for the centralization of our activities, state and federal, in the elimination of illiteracy. It contemplates a campaign among the native as well as the for eign born", 'not only in mills and mining or lumber camps, but on the farm, and it provides not only for the teaching of illiterates, but for the training of the teachers in the technique of their task. Among the printed matter to be used are pamphlets in the chief foreign languages de signed to correct the misstatements in radical propaganda and to open up the realities of American life and institutions. Rather tardily we are waking up to the fact that, if we had been half, as eager and industrious in dissemi nating therth as agitators have been eager and industrious in disseminating falsehood, the major portion of our industrial unrest would have been forestalled. Thus far our efforts have been mainly ten tative; but they are in tle right direction and are apparently backed by intelligent good-will. As yet they leave the problem of "scientific distri bution" untouched. During, Senator Kenyon's investigations of the steel strik he was scandal" 1red to find that in a group of 150 strikers very lew could speak English and only three were citizens. The great vice of our immigration hitherto has been that it tended to segregate men of the same race in communities sealed against outside influence. Nothing' can touch this evil except aid and influence which shall ex tend beyond the port of entry to the ultimate job and home. There should be machinery for diverting the newcomer to the field where he is most needed and best paid, and for insuring that he is adequately housed in a community open to fhe American spirit. Such supervision would, in the end, render needless the process of Americanization by set instruction, which isat once the most costly and lea,st effective. What a man learns he easily loses, but what he lives strikes in. lees m Ja French Thrift Needed Here The French people surprised the world and won its admiration rtearly half a century ago by paying off in three years or so the $100, 000,000 tribute levied by the Prussians follow ing the Franco-Prussian war. Whether Ihey will do as well proportionately now remains to be seen, but they have made a good start on the road to recovery from the curse and blight of the recent war. The unusual recuperative power 'of the French is properly attributable to the thrift of that people. It is said that in France scarcely 20 per cent live in rented h6mes. Whether home-owning is the cause of thrift or thrift is Hhe cause of homeowning in France might be ar hard question to answer, but certain it is that the two go together. The people of the United States as a whole have been unprecedentedly prosperous, not be cause they have been thrifty, but because of the wondeWul natural wealth of the country. Looked at from the standpoint of the future as well as the pkst and present, it has been a superficial prosperity. Millions of acres of forests have been "skimmed of thair cream," as it were, to make ready fortunes. Millions of acres of land have' been abused and made unfertile' to serve the Interests of selfish owners who took no prov ident thought of the generations to come after them. Mineral resources have been wasted on a tremendous scale by those whose minds were on ittlerelse than quick and fat dividends. This kind of extravagance and improvidence cannot go on indefinitely for the simple reason that the field for intensive and. wasteful ex ploitation of nature's riches is limited. Already the country'is paying dearly for some of the prodigality and selfishness of previous genera tion's. The time has come when the American people, by force of natural circumstances, must learn' the kind of thrift the French practice. There should be a far greater percentage of home-owners and farm-owners.' Thece should be surer and better rewards for systematic sav ing and for sound investment than now". There should be a stronger legal and moral condemna tion of those who 'grow rich by fraudulent ex ploitation, and as a corollary to this there should be a curbing of the general 'get-rich-quie-k" passion which makes so many Americans easy prey for financial vampires. Minneapolis Tribune. Ho Will ProuiUy Respond. Lincoln, Feb. 9. To the Editor of The Bee: tv Uavfwltnessed during rewnt monins a continuous repeti tion of ovations In honor of a fellow countryman. The extent and char acter of -these ovations have neVer been accorded any other American in all of our history. We have noted the spontaneous enthusiasm that has dominated every demonstration. We have not overlooked the ever-recurring expressions of confidence Of admiration of prophecy forecasting this man's future relation to the af fairs of the nation. We have watched the growth of enthusiasm for the man and the enlarging conception of his achievement. Yet, through it all through, these months of homage, we -have noted the simplicity of this man. We are impressed with his discretion. We are forced to acknowledge his quali ties of leadership. . Through all The continuous round . of hearty, un bounded acclaim he has borne him self with extreme modesty. Not once has he' given utterance to a single expression that could be construed as even remotely bidding for public favor. Not once among all his re sponses and addresses has he made an assertion that has met with the slightest criticism from those who could wish, for personal reasons, that his popularity might diminish. Jiis expressions in many parts of our country have touched numerous and varied interests.. Yet his obser vations have been clear and analyti cal his opinions logical and force ful. Not once has his -strong, gen tfeel, nianty- personality failed to make an impress. Wherever his of ficial journeyings have taken him, confidence and admiration have in creased. A rare spectacle this without precedent and without parallel. John J. Pershing, the man, bids fair to overshadow yershing, the general has in effect already done so. The countless thousands who had knowl edge only of Pershing, tho military leader the greatest general, proba bly, that the greatest of all wars un covered have warmed their hearts to Pershing, the citizen and patriot. Whatever the achievement of American arm;, he lias accorded full lory anil honor to tho rank and file of fighting men and to the loyal, un stinted suppert from tho patriotic home folks. Ho has with fine mod esty kept his own great part in the winning of the war in the back ground, and has generously shared the honors with all who had a part, however limited, in tho victory. This is the evidence of true greatness. The grasp which Pershing has on tho problems of international scope problems that directly and vitally affect our welfare has not escaped tho notice of our statesmen and our people. And always his viewpoint and conclusions are strik ingly American. His tact as a dip lomat, his earnestness as an advo cate and his decisive judgment as a leader, have claimed the respect-of all nations and the confidence and boundless admiration "of our own. In view of the demonstrated effi ciency and greatness of Pershing, the man, as well as Pershing, the general, is there a citizen within the boundaries of this commonwealth, or any other, who would not proudly accord him support, with the hope that he may receive the nomination for president? It is to the credit of the republican party that other men of ability and experience are avowed candidates for this very hish honor, but no other has been mentioned as a possi bility who is pessessed of such a combination of seasoned abilities aid tested strength as General Pershing Pershing of Nebraska.x Let vis not underestimate the na ture nor the size of the task that confronts these United States in the readjustment of'nations, nor call to J this grave responsibility a man un- U leu, nut iav-.rviiiF, in V experience necessary to accomplish ment. , FRANK D.

"But," she thought further, "Why canU our bunch have a hockey team? We" haven't-ieen organized since we left off darning socks for soldiers. I'll start it!" When Jim came in he said he would cut her a hockey stick from the apple tre in the back yard where heViad seen a branch with just the right crook. "Or you can tell the girls," he said, "to have their broth ers dig up straight saplings; the roots often form hard bulbs beneath the earth and these can be whittled into good hockey clubs. -They are possibilities, too, in the pile of brush over at Bob's house where they are trimming trees. Later you can buy from the sporting goods store real hockey sticks for $1.25 each. "Regular hockey is played on a level field 100 yards long and 60 0, . 1m 0 f. yards wide. At each end is a goal made from two posts with a cross baj. The field is divided into two parts through the center and each half is defended by a team of eleven players. They use a large, round, hard rubber ball, a white practice ball of solid rubber costs 50 cents." Next day at recess the girls were enthusiastic. "We'll wear middy blouses and either short skirts or gym bloomers. Even if our school field isn't nearly as big as it ought to be we can play anyway.

"Aunt Alice plays it "at Vassar," added Elizabeth, "and she says it is most of all a splendid fall game, and that it will increase our mental alertness, vigor and endurance.

The Ideal Ail-Around Man. The first essential in a backfield is a good punter and drop of place kicker. Every effort should be made to develop this department of the game.
