' , Opposition to the pending railroad law be cause it guarantees a return to capital invested is "shortsighted. The policy may not be -the wisest, but the expedient has been adopted as a measure of justice to the. owners ot; the toads. In effect, it makes sure thai each dollar of rail road capital shall have its wages, not at the current rate of pay, but at a figure that does not include either -extravagance or starvation, When private 'concerns are borrowing at 8 per cent and selling stockn a basts of 6 to 7 per cent, if doesjiot seem unreasonable that cap! Al 1 J . . . ui crupiuyca m me most important ot our great national industries should be assured return of Sri per cent. The first big problem for the owners of the roads is to secure ; money 'whereby topay for imiJroyjements, extensions and bettermejits; to restore thejvornout rails and box cars, to renew engines and other equipment, and to carry on the business. Ihis money will not be forth coming unless it is made plain to the investor that sonie return is certain.. 'A dollar can not be made to work, any more fhan a" man, in fact not so easily. And if capital stnkes against the railroads, trt result will be as serious as if the brotherhoods should quit.- To assert that ' this act makes the public and labor subservient to capital" is begging the question, the cheapest sort of pettifoggery. All r.ne capital empioyea in me transportation in dustry is owned. by the public, of which the great railroad brotherhoods and all other labor, organized and unorganized, are part Immense sums of money so engaged are obtained through various fiduciary institutions,- savings banks, insurance companies and the like, in which the savings of t,he workers are placed to earn -the wages of money,, which is the interest. Money must work, hd it will go where condi tions are best for its employment The pend ing railroaH measure fOnly seeks to provide for atime tljat capital employed in the industry ha fair wages, the same as the men. Labor's leaders, having espoused the cause of government ownership, , may be expected to press their case with, all zeal, but they are making a mistake when they resort -to such superficial methods as are employed in the present instance. v Robert Edwin Peary. Another of America's truly great men has gone on, leaving behind him a record of ac complishment that ..will endure. The simple statement that Robert Edwin Peary, who has just died, was first to reach the North pole, to stand ''at the very top of the world,, does riot suggest the tremendous effort and sacrifice involved.- Yet it 'does contain Hhe truth that will keep the name of Peary alive while men inhabit the globe and study its composition. ,.. The controversy springing front the false claps -made by Dr. Frederick A. Cook threw a shadow over Peary'si-achievement, but he emerged from that ' well and thoroughly vin dicated,. although the enthusiasm' that, would have attended his announcement ordinarily was diminished by the bitterness of the . contest. Those who championed Peary have been up-, lifted and those who accepted the Cook claims have been confounded by later events. Ste- Mansson, the most persistent and painstaking of 'all Arctic explore'-s, although not seeking the pole itself, has- corroborated many details and corrected some of the Peary observations. 'while quietly announcing certain 'facts that prove Cook to have made many untrue state ments, some of them mistakes he could not have made had he, been anywhere afar the loca tions he undertook to describe. Peary's achievement, spectacular as it was, did not contain the elements of tragedy that distinguished the rival dash of Ahmundsen and Scott tor the South pole. In tact, nothing in all the history of such ventures quite compared .yHth the story of Robert Falcon Scott and his companions. In the quiet life of his closing -years Admiral Peary had all the satisfaction ot,knowing that' his work 4was recognized, his attributions to science appraised as well as they. might be under existing conditions, ancj with full honor and credit he went along to join a glorious company 6f pioneers and ad venturers in "that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns." Hitchcock and Nebraska. '- The newspapers of the state, under the duty of publishing the facts as they find them, report much whetting ot knives among Nebraska democrats, preparatory to a finish fight; over the instructions to be givenNthe Nebraska dele gation to the democratic national convention. I , While some republicans may consider? any ruction in the democratic camp grist tor their mill, The Bee prefers to view the incipient dis turbance . with a broader spirit. Ihe tteeyis a republican newspaper, of independent tenden cies. vIt believes that the national interests at this time are best to be servecyby the election of a republican president But it is also a Ne braska newspaper, with faith in Nebraska and with pride in Nebraska s sons. It feels that thatpride is legitimate and something which might well imbue all Nebraskans, even Ne braska democrats. Consequently, if The Bee were "disposed to imagine itself a democrat for a moment, it could hot join in any campaign to keep from Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock the vote of Nebraska's delegates in the 'democratic convention. ' V Senato Hitchcock was born in Nebraska, grew to manhood in this state and however politically misguided he may have been has come to a position of power and prominenc in his party through his ability and personal cnarm.1 The attainment of such a position is of interests Nebraskans as Nebraskans, is something which can be said of no other democrat new, a candidate for the party's presidential nomination and it should count for something with Nebraska 'democrats. Holland also has , some .V "interpretative reservations" in accepting the League of Na tions covenant. Looks like Uncle Sam is not peculiar in wanting to know just where he is going.

Whatever else may happen, labor seems de termined that it shall lose none 'of the ground itgained through the war emergency of the nation. If this position shall be successfully maintained, prices will remain crystallized at the present level. That is, until something more fundamental than the edicts of labor unions shall become operative. Labor - is dependent upon one thing employment Wheij. labor ceases to be an asset to society it becomes a urdev. Capital, also, comes to be unemployed aiip unproductive, out it has resources ana iaoor does not; it can afford to weather an era of de pression and take its losses; labor must either be employed or suffer poignantly. In the pres ence of an industrial crisis all the finely spun theories and hard-built-un nreroeatives of labor organizations fell to the ground. A school of desperation holding to a doctrine of despair has sprung-up in these latter days that goes under the general name of bolshevism. This 'might be turned to. but. unfortunately, the workers of America have, come to be capitalists; to Own their own homes; to own bonds and bank ac counts and to have provided investments ot one tfr another kind. .There are enough so fixed to make impossible he adoption of bolshevism in any case, for that is set for the direct destruc tion of wages as commonly understood in this country. I he threat of bolshevism could Hold no terrors for the United States. Here it could stand only for group-outlawry, to be treated ex actly iixe any other kind ot outlawry. - : me moor organizations, therefore, would do well to do some clear thinkinc? before thev seek to control thepolitical parties by their interest vote. Such a position for interest only is thor oughly un-Amencan. It does not tit into the American system of party politics. It could be justified only in the exrjectation of the cttz- lioil of a labor nartv cuVh aa anncar tn hr unon r-:. . . . , . . r - ---. :-. . r . tne onnic ot taking over the administration ot England out ot the hands of the coalition gov ernment Had the United States established coalition government at the time of going into the" war, a course that had strong espousal, the foundation would have been laid, for a labor party as in England. As matters "stand, there is no foundation- for anything of the sort The American skilled worker has no taste for the segregation of himself and fellows into a labor camp. He looks upon his daily toil as a means of subsistence and his connection with a union as protective of the same. But he is far from willing to have the men who eovern his union control his entire destinies. Nor is he to be led into the delusion that his organization is the thing of supreme interest to the country. . He is, first of all an American and not a union man with internationalism as the dark shadow Hail ing at the skirts of the unions in politics. It is all right for -the Federation ot Labsr to ques tion all candidates for office, to ascertain their labor views. J.t would not be difficult for any one of them to answer favorably in general terms. As for .specific commitments, the very nature and reach of labor legislation and legis lation bearing upon labor makes impossible for such commitment to be made in terms that would be it all binding. Then" it would develop I upon a group ot labor autocrats to administer punishment upon candidates. Here is where the ndeoendent American citizen would break loose from the assumptions of a few-interfering in the field of his privilege. Coneresman Frederick H. Gi left, sneaker of the house, says that with which 90 per cept of the men in organized, labor will agree, namely, that when labor unions ko so far as to threaten for their owfn advancement, to stoo the wheels of the railroads and to close the output of the mines, without which the whole industrial or ganization would collapse, they, in turn, are ex ercising power that no govejment would per mit. It becomes a Question whether a combina tion df the employed is not more threatening to trie business lite ot the country than a,com- Dination or tne unemployed.. : , What does he mean by more -threatening? He leaves no doubt when he gives warning that the country is facing a financial panic similar to that of 1893, unless all shall.work together. The basis for this condition lies in the matter that is wholly out of the control of labor to effect by its self-interest program, namely, the float ing debt of $4,000,000,000 in treasury certificates. Unless co-operation prevents the crisis and panic shall come, where will be the house of cards of the labor organizations? These have power only in time of prosperity. They are su pine in time of adversity. Let them isolate themselves from the sympathies of their fellows in the great body of consumers, and precipitate ' inereoy a panic, ana see now mucn sympatny they will receive when they are in the midst of the debris of business for which they will be held responsible. It is fine talk, this nonsense about a labor" vote, cast for labor,, but, unfor tunately for the short-sighted labor leaders, it does not accord either with the American basic political conditions or conditions for economic welfare.. ' - . , - Significance of Life We do not know what the present year shall bring to us, whether it shall be filled with sweet fulfillments and those things that color life in bright, cheerful tones, or whether it shall bring jsnly (disappointments and gray clouds. Fo'many of us the next 12 months will be a mixture of joy and grief, brightness arid sadness, of disappointments and realiza tions. But it takes just such combinations to make us understand something of the signifi cance of life. We learn to aonreciate our bless- f jngs when they take their night more than at any other time, and the knowledge that the brilliancy of life's sun must be tempered by shadows helps us to make the most oi the sunny days, we cannot expect to experience only the brightness of life 'during the year that is just beginning to exist; the gray days must come and the clouds gather, sometimes with little warning, but such conditions arenot typi cal of any one life. There is always a little sunshine just behind the clouds to be hared by all alike, notwithstanding the fact that for while at least it oes not seem to be" evenl; divined, me longer we live the harder our problems are likely to become, and the anxieties of one year run over into'other years and often create new conditions to be taken into consid eration and disposed of Charleston News and Courier.

To the Editor of The Bee: It is true tha,t the-iNebraska people have an excel lent man in the person of Gen. John J.. Pershing, and there can be no question aa to he and General Wood belng'men of a high type, but they both are men of military training and choice, one through the channel of our national academy, West Point, the other-through volunteer service and through which he, too, chose the. profession, but also la a splendid man. But the question arises do we now need this class of men to fill our national executive chair? These men are thinkers and men of action, but the thinking and action has been THE away from the thinking and action along civil and especially economic lines, and right here is where objec tion is found, and raised in regard to placing this profession, military, which in its place is absolutely neces sary as these two men have proven. Therefore, we wish to congratulate the Citizens of Nebraska in their loyalty and respect to General Per shingas a "native son," but there is room in all this to speak a word re garding Gov. Frank O. Lowden, an astute business man as well as a splendid war governor, and -withal a man of large affairs. The official records of Illinois bears evidence of Mr. Lowden's splendid abilities, po litically, economically, as well as Jgocially, being a man who loves, as Lincoln did. to mingle with the wholfe DeoDle. and a man whom we believe bears that other great virtue, namely, "With malice toward none and charity for all." Let me suggest that when Nebraska has exhausted her convention's activities looking to General Pershing;s candidacy ana finds he cannot be the man, then Nebraska can do no better than to throw Its Unanimous support y vjov ernor Lowden.
