Vanderlip's assertion that there is politics in the Federal Reserve Board is true from the fact that the Secretary of the Treasury ' and the Comptroller of the Currency are both oolitical appointees. If politics has anything to '- do with the policies of the board, as some of the . ratings would indicate, the question may well be one of the issues of the presidential cam paign. - The nation does not want politics - mixed up with its money. . . , v There is no denying that there is serious in flation of the currency. Aside from deductions that may be made from the existing price level, treasury reports showing the dwindling gold-reserve and the increased amount of paper money is circulation prove that inflation has been car , ried farther than necessary Even the United Kingdom, which saw three years more of war han we, and with less internal wealth to begin with, has not found it necessary to issue as much oaoer monev as has our Treasury" De partment Britain also has begun to withdraw some ot the paper from circulation, dui one hat yet to hear of similar action in this country. SaSalo Express. ' - BETTER DEAL FOR BUSINESS. The dismissal of the government's suit against tha so-called steel trust may be ac cepted as indicative of a new and better deal for business under government control. With only the bare outline of the opinion of Justice Kenna at hand, It is not possible to intelligently discuss the court's line of reasoning in detail Enough is suggested, though, in the statement that no act in restraint of trade has been com mitted since 1911, to support the statement that the business as now managed is well within the limits of the Sherman and Clayton laws. This decision may be accepted as marking the passage of attack on business merely be cause it is "big." Industry long ago developed to the point where enormous combinations were needed to successfully and efficiently provide for the needs of the world. The United States Steel company, first organized twenty-two years ago, has been one of the most illustrious exam ples of this. It now requires the employment of two billions of capital, a sum in excess of any other corporation in the world. If this amount of money be legitimately and service ably employed, it no more constitutes a menace than if it were broken uo into a thousand separate units, each acting independently of the other, but all combined incapable of doing what the one great aggregation accomplishes. This decision is capable of being harmon ized with the outcome of the packers' case, in which a divergent principle is involved. Its plain meaning is that business will no longer be subject to attack because of its magnitude. Monopoly is not contemplated, nor will unfair methods of competition be tolerated, for the law still is potent to reach these, but capital will be permitted to work in large groups, ac complishing big things through its more ef ficient employment. Big and little business will stan4 before the law, just as do individual citi zens, with justice denied to none, and equal opportunity open to all. This is the American idea of what constitutes a square deal. Get Rid of the Turk Andrew J. Seaman's Life. Andrew J. Seaman, aged Omaha recluse and eccentric, was what the world calls a "miser," that is, an abnormally thrifty person. People laughed at him; thoughtless boys' hooted the unoffending old man on the streets. But Mr. Seaman was not a bad citizen. He harmed no one but himself. Many a gilded fool prides himself on being a "good spender," though he spends only selfishly . for his own pleasure. Mr.- Seaman spent almost nothing on himself. He was unselfish. It is recorded, however, that he gave $100 to the Y. M. C. A. building fund. He sen't gifts of cash to his sister. What else he gave we don't know. He never talked about his affairs. Even when the friendless man knew that death was near and that he must leave his money, his last word was'that no needless ex pense should be incurred for a casket the money could b,e used better by the. living. Mr. Seaman's manner of life was repugnant to nor mal humanity. And rightly so. But his miserliness was a disease which, perhaps, con cealed a great nature. And we can not help feeling a real sympathy for this friendless old man who lived his lonely life irt our midst for so many years, and who died a lonely and friendless death, out of touch with and misun derstood by his fellow men. If his life con tains any lesson, it is that social contact with the world is worth more than a life of solitary acquisitiveness. "Pitiless Publicity" Again. The administration at Washington has de cided not to give out the text of the peace note from the bolsheviki, because, according to the State department, it is "intended for propa ganda." A peculiar reason, and not based on good reasoning. The suppressed notes will be far more effective propaganda than if thev were published. If they contain anything the radicals want to get before the people, Lenine and Trotzky will see that the text is given out. Meanwhile, every soapbox in the land will ring with the fact that the government is suppress ing a communication from the people of Rus sia, keeping the people in ignorance of the terms on which the reds seek peace. If the radical movement is to be successfully comba ted in America, it will not be by adopting the tactics of the ostrich. The wider circulation that can be given .the. absurdities of the Rus sian creed, the more certain will America's an swer be in the negative. Facts are the one thing before which the red flag cowers. - Wisdom Crieth Without One of Andrew Carnegie's "forty million aires," James Oayley of New Xork, is dead.l When he first went to work his salary was $500 a year, a wage that would be indiarnantlv re fused by an errand boy or domestic servant in this year of our Lord. Wealth came to him not by oppressing the poor, but because he in vented a process that increased the product of blast furnaces twenty per cent. . While it earned millions for him, it earned hundreds of millions for society. In other words, Mr. Gayley was of service to his feJlowmen. His heart was in his work. He mixed brains with his labor. The road he traveled is free and open to every boy and man in America, if he will but "'receive the instruc tion of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity," which the wisest of men said "fools despise." i The New Partisanship. The nation is startled by Mr. Wilson's ap pointment of Bainbridge Colby assecretary of state at this juncture of our crucial internal tional affairs; the democratic party is shocked, humiliated, that among ajl the tried and true democrats of the country there was none to fill this first office in the gift of the presi dentNew York Sun. Mr. Wilson's intense partisanship has al ways been Wilsonian rather than democratic A democrat who does not place Wilson above his party may go and should go into outer dark ness, there to gnash his teeth. ,To question the president's wisdom is heresy the unpardonable sin; while blessed are bull moose and repub lican who forsake not the White House policies and cease not to burn incense under the nostrils of Woodrow Wilson. "Do something,1 has always been a military rulsjin emergencies. A Cincinnati schoolma'am, wiser than her generation, has adopted this for the children under her care. "Do anything you please, hut do something," is the rule she has laid down for her pupils. , That teacher will get to a bigger job. Brick men say the shortage plea is camouflage. At any rateV the county , board promised brick when the bonds were voted From the New York Times. The outburst of resentment in Britain over the decision to leave the Turks in Constinople is a fine thing and in accord with a fine tradi tion. Like most other nations, the British have generally pusured a foreign policy dictated by their idea of interests; but aow and then interest has been pushed aside to make way for enforce ment of some fundamental demand for interna tional decency. In this case Mr. Lloyd George seems to have been somewhat surprised to find that his countrymen had a conscience; ana, whole no doubt envying his colleague, Mr. Millehand, who has heard no objection to a plan which may protect French investors, he feels it necessary to make some excuse. Now we hear that Mr. Lloyd George consid ers himself bound by his pledge made in the 101 S in ihf labor delegates. This famous address set forth a schedule of peace terms almost exactly parallel to that an nounced by Mr. Wilson three days later in the 14 points. But tha Turkish question is precisely the one on which Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. Wilson differed. Both wanted the strait inter nationalized, but while Mr. Wilson contented himself with saying that "the Turkish portions of the present Ottoman empire should be as sured a secure sovereignty," Mr.. Lloyd George said: "We do not challenge the maintenance of the Turkish empire in the homelands of the Turkish race, with its capital at Constantinople." Why the difference in two progrrams which were evidently intended to be identical? The most plausible interpretation is that Mr. Lloyd George really thought that Constantinople was part of the homelands of the Turkish race; that he had never heard of the Byzantine empire or of Mohammed II. A question of the highest moral and material importance to the whole world should not be determined by the distaste of a schoolboy for application to text books of history 40 years ago. Besides, Mr. Lloyd George surely does not pretend that he should keen all the nromises he ever made to any body, even assuming that British labor cares about the Turk one way or .mother. He would have done better to admit frankly that the French had talked him into it. Rut Hamac-p ha been done. His colleaeue. Mr. Montagu of the Indian office, has lost no time. Leaving Mr. Lloyd George to act as rear guard against the protests of the British con science, he has hastily had it announced throughout all Indian that the British govern ment has yielded to the wishes of Indian Mos lems. Mr. Montagu doubtless knows whether this is the best way to maintain respect for the imperial authority, as he is doubtless competent to determine when it is wise to announce as irrevocable the decisions, of a supreme council which every day reverses yesterday's settle ments. Perhaps, indeed, he wanted to forestall a reversal. , The good news has been told in Constantino ple, too, where the Turks are naturally jubilant. The nationalist party, which appears to control whatever force there is in the Turkish state, now demands the restoration of all territory except Syria and Mesopotamia, and wjll thear of no foreign interference in Turkish internal affairs. The Turks undoubtedly think that the council has made a solemn promise, and that body will have to choose between incurring the deserved reproach of bad faith and affronting the moral sense of its own peoples. Moreover, it is exceedingly probable that an attempt to put the Turke out after this promise will result in violence; and while the allied fleet in the Bos porus ought to be able to prevent the worst re sults, it is to be feared that much blood will be shed befbre the Turks are 'put out. This, however, does not mean that they can not and should not be put out. America has been unwilling to help the Armenians; we give them much sympathy, a little money, but no more. The senate would apparently have us wash our hands of Europe, but it is under stood that President Wilson expects to be con sulted in the Turkish settlement. This is not a question of party. All Americans who care anything for decency in international relations as well as all who realize the danger of leaving the Turk in Europe should unite in a protest against this decision. They should insist that our government have its say in the Turkish set tlement, and that its influence should be used to the full to put the Turks out and keep them out. The protests of Mr. Morgenthau and Mr. Gerard should be echoed by all who see in the protest of the British public a sign of the re awakening of an international conscience which had gone to sleep during the debate on the treaty. The German War Criminals The German War Criminals. In two respects the demand for the sur render of the German war criminals differed distinctly from that for the extraditioh of Wil helm von Hohenzollern. It was based on an accusation of specific crimes, and the entente's right to enforce its execution results from the ratification of the Treaty of Versaliles by the German National Assembly. The legal grounds on which Queen Wilhelmina based her negative reply to the note of the Allied Powers offered, consequently, no support to the Ger man governmentt for its refusal. Nevertheless, the Allied Powers have acted with wisdom and dignity in acceding to that refusal. The concession is coupled with the re quirement that the German government shall 'carry out in good faith its declaration of readi ness to bring to trial the men accused of high crimes against the laws of war and the estab lished usages of civilized nations. The diffi culty is by no means at an end; it will be no easy matter to procure a genuine trial of high German officers by their own countrymen, and a judgment in accordance with the evidence. The Allied Powers distinctly reserve the right to enforce th teerms of the treaty in the event of the trials proving to be a mere pretence. But it was evident that insistence on the sur render of hundreds of leading German military men, to be tried by enemy judges in an enemy country, would have meant a convulsion whose consequences threatened to be ruinous to the whole world. The solution arrived at repre sents the nearest approach, which was possible to the reconcilement of justice with necessity. The Review. , , Agnew on th Treaty. Omaha, Feb. 28. To the Editor ot The Bee: I have noticed a number of times that you took occasion to at least half way roast senators Bo rah. Johnson and Lodge for their fight against the so-called league of nations, as if the people of this coun try are dead anxioua for the adop tion of the league of nations. Tou know that there has not been an election held in the United States since the League of Nations has been under discussion In the United States senate, and where that question was at issue, but that the opponents of the league of nations have not either won signal triumphs, or have gained I so strongly on the democratlo can didates, that it was about the same as a victory for the opponents to the league 01 nations. j.i is my personal opinion that the people of the United States are very indifferent about the adoption of the league and in fact millions of our citizens are strongly opposed to it wholly and entirely. Future historians will place Sen ators Borah, Johnson and Lodge along by the side of Webster, Clay, Lincoln, Seward, Blaine, Cleveland and Roosevelt in their fight for Americanism of the good old-fashioned kind. I think the senators you have taken to task are to be praised for their stand for stalwart Americanism and if the league of nations is an issue In the coming presidential election, aa I for one hope, will be the case, you will find that the people of the United States stand aa a tremendous majority back of the men who have fought for America first We aa a nation have grown great and prospered without mixing up In the affairs of other nations and we have done it for the last 144 years and there is jio good reason for us to tie up with he kingdoms and empires of the earth in order to keep- their subjects unaer control witn our aid. Let other nations take care of their own affairs and let us do the same, for we have big problems of our own to solve and we have all we can do to attend to our own national affairs. Let the people of other nations go to work and not depend on the United States so much for help' and they will be better off and so will we. I think the senators who are wholly opposed to the league of nations are wholly and inexorably right in their stand and are to be commended. FRANK A. AGNEW. , Call for Real Farm Hands. Lyons, Neb., Feb. 27. To the Edi tor of The Bee: I read an article In the paper saying that farm hands were getting $60 to $65 a month, but you are wrong. We are paying $7b to $90 a month and to a good hand $100. I also know of hands that are getting $110 a month with boar.l and washing, and a car furnished to drive on Sunday. Day hands are $5 a day and job work is 75 centa an hour. But here I want to say that those prices are not for a town nand who doesn't know how to harness a horse or drive a team on a paved street. It means a man, not a ci garet fiend. I can And places for hands at $75 a month around Lyons Any time In two weeks you may send them, but that means hands, not kids smoking cigarets and wear ing sharp-toed shoes and afraid tc step in a little manure, and who want to quit work when the sun io four hours high.

BKELS, JMle ofays' (?om&r For Boys to Make Handicraft Building a Box Kite. By O. M. HYDE. Although almost any boy feels ca pable of building a flat kite or a tail less bow kite, scarcely one in ten has the courage to attempt a Sox kite therefore, the one is envied when March winds blow. But with a sim ple design, the box kite is not be yond the abilities of any. boy. Here is a simple design: The simplicity of the design de pends upon placing the sticks edge wise so as to take advantage of their greater crosswise strength and to re duce the number required. With proper joints, as shown, the kite will be as stiff as if it contained many more sticks and braces. The sticks for the kite should all be J-inch wide by 3-16-inch thick and of straight-grained white pine. The four main frame sticks t(E, F. H, I) should each be about 34 inches long.

In each end of each cross brace cut a notch 3-16 inch wide by i inch deep, as shown in "Detail of Joint." Before cutting the notch, bind the crosspiece with cord just back of the joint to pre vent splitting.

Then put the frame toeether with the long sticks slipped edgewise into the cross brace notches and the frame straightened up into rectangu lar shape the cross braces should be placed 4 inches from the ends of the long sticks.
