Our good friend, Kortright, up at Wayne, f x believes that unless some means is found to re lieve the farm situation, Townleyism will be come supreme in Nebraska. We are inclined to think otherwise. Our farmers must be aware of the situation in North Dakota, where the blessings of Townley's creed have been applied and where twenty-three country ' banks have 'closed their doors, and more are threatened with ; suspension. " The experiment has not worked out to produce the prosperity that was promised. rV The way out has been pointed many times. It !s along the path of work, productive effort, a I daily contribution by each of his ,best' endeavor to the good of all. No amount 6i legislative enactment can change this. The law of diminish ing returns, as well as that of supply and de : ,mand, still is operative. - It was hard work and I k the resultant good crops that paid off the mort- f gages and redeemed Nebraska from the cspond- f ency of debt and hard times. The prosperity of i ,j the nation was restored on the same basis, I 1 wruch Is finally the only process by which "good times" can be established and maintained. in Nebraska had any real listing effect. From the beginning of our history .such movements have arisen, swelled, declined, emanations of the healthy unrest that is, essential tb human prog ress.

It is not quite fair to compare the railroads with the farmers in their present predicament. As far back as 1872 the granger and "anti-mo- opoly" elements found vent for their activities chiefly in legislation to regulate and restrict the . railroads. This course was extended and the .' bondage increased, until in 1916 the roads found themselves tied by all the rules that could be laid down by the Interstate Commerce commission and forty-odd state commissions, sometimes act ing in unison, morcJ often independently, until I the whole transportation industry was enveloped in 4 mate v-i uiutia, ovuvuuivu, w - J ' raniiliitmni ftiTArlanninor rnntradiptorV. freaUCIlt- ligu ittnuu is, . ' 1' "Oi - " J ' - ly burdensome and unjust, and ruinous in their 'effect. I Capital no longer sought investment in the ilrailroads, because of the uncertainty that sur rounded the operation of the industry. Then tztne thi crisis. The Adamson law was passed, I; encVmously increasing the expense without add ing, a 'penny to the revenue of the lines; this brought inevitable loss, and the so-called "break- I ktown" of the transportation industry. Then lLoUowed seizure by the government, with fur ; tber increase in expense and no adequate in-" creaseHin revenue, an experiment which cost the ' public; at the rate of $100,000,000 per month, i taken directly from the Treasury, i . On March 1. of this year, the roads were turned back to their owners after twenty-seven months of the most expensive experimentation he government ever engaged in. The .chaotic ondition of the systems, the deterioration of thj properties, the inability of the owners to secure (operating capital imperatively needed for ' re- ubilitation of the lines, justified the establish ment of a revolving fund of $300,000,000, to be ftAotnei to the lines, but all of which must be re turned to the Treasury Within ten years. "Without this assistance, the condition of the country vould have beet) sad indeed. ' As it was industry of all kinds suffered, and no element complained of inability to get service more per . silently than did the farmers. The increase in i ' friight and ' passenger rates was but a recog- I ni)( ion of the need of increased revenue to enable tlio companies to meet conditions created by the ; ; g vernment. f ; '. Other big manufacturers have not been given yivernment assistance; on the contrary, they ve been pursoed by the government with pfiteering- Inquiries, with suits for dissolution illegal combinations, aiid.in other ways. Re Ittriction of credit has not fallen alone on the ifarmer, but has been felt by all. Deflation is V painful process, and everybody feels it, just 1 is everybody felt the upward flight. Industrial nstitutions are shutting down or limiting their 'Utput, retail stores are cutting prices to move tocks, . workmen are accepting reductions in ay.'and alj along the line may be noted earnest attempts to restore something like a stable re I tation between vahies and money. This is not I VtJped in any way by talk of revolution if any ticular class does not get all it wants or all1 inks it ought to have. The Bee' Platform 1. New Union Passenger Station. 2.

It will be Jpr the constitution of the. United States, and not in leading strings, nor will the executive be required to(submit to undue dictation from the legislative. This is as it should be. , Most of Mr. Wilson's troubles flowed from .his disposition to act upon the theory he had outlined when discussing the office prior to his election. Hq showed how it might be possible for the president to control even a hostile congress, and so long ashe had a democratic majority back of him, even though Tie did now and then encounter the active opposition of a considerable group in his own party, he was permitted to have his own way almost extlusive ly. Especially during the time of the war, 'al though he then found himself forced at several important and even critical junctures to depend on republican support in order to get his -measures through. It was this persistent refusal to accord to congress its proper place in the scheme of government that wrought the president's utter undoing and brought about the obliteration of his party's hopes as represented Ay Cox in the late campaign. The next president will be the chief executive of the country, but he will also recognize1 the fact that congress exists and has a function other than ttiat ascribed to a rubber tamp. - 'No Proposals for Disarmament. Holland, relying on the League of Nations, is proceeding with its plan for disarmament, and is reducing its small naval force. No such faith in. the league is displayedby Great Britain, where a political squall is brewing over the fact that, the United States is building warships faster han its late associate in the world war. In Japan' and America there has been a steady increase in y the navy; but the English have paused in tlie tonstruction of capital ships, largely through the fact that its present ex penditures exceed its income. Traditionally, Britannia must rule the, waves, because it is not a self-sustaining nation and must import food and other supplies. The sug gestion has been made that digging a tunnel under the channel and connecting England by rail with France would answer the purpose as well as any other plan, but no steps have been taken in this direction. If there is anything in the oft-repeated as sertions of brotherhood between America and England,! and if each of the two nations are the great, peace-loving and righteous' democracies that they claim to be, there is no reason' for Britain to be alarmed over the fact that Amer ica is getting a fleet as large as its own. . Fur thermore, England is now in the League of Na tions, and with some forty odd other cf untries allied with it. America is not in the league, and has no alliances. But whether one is in the 'league or out of it, disarmament thus ap pears t6 be distrusted. If America were now a signatory to the covenant, the same feeling would obtain, as thus far no actual plans for disarmament have emanated from the interna tional conference at Geneva. .

When tho United States takes charge of a people very foreign to its people in language, customs, habits and environment and governs them autocratically It rarely makes itself popular, but does make a rec ord which, pity 1h, Americana seldom take to heart In ruling themselves. Tho latent illustration is our gov ernment's record In the Virgin isr lands. In 1017 we purchased three average life was short with the enemies of life killing at the average annual rate of 37 per 1,000."

In the news columns of The Bee this morn ing appearJJan announcement of peculiar inter est to the people of Nebraska the retirement of George W. Holdrege from his active connec tion with the Burlington railroad. Half a cen tury ago this quiet, self-contained man, just out of Harvard, came to Nebraska as a clerk in the 'general omce of the B. & M., then located at Plattsmouth. Fifty-one years of wonderful growth have passed since he' took up his life work; he has seen the railroad he has served expand frpm a few miles of track straggling across the prairie into a mighty network of tracks, covering Nebraska, Kanasas, Colorado, South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana; he has seen the state come up from a frontier to a proud position in the sisterhood of common wealths;he has seen Omaha, thsjyoung and sprawling "camp," grow into a great metropolis, a center of cultivation and commerce, of intellect and industry. His years with the Burlington have been busy ones, covering the span of the nation's greatest development, of civilization's swiftest progress, and he can look over a mar velous record of human achievement and truth fully say: "All of which I saw and part of which I was." B. &. M. headquarters without "G. W. H." will never be the same; orders no longer signed by thpse initials will make the operating force look' twice at them, but a fine old gentleman can take a little rest, knowing that he built well, not only for the railroad he Served so well, but for the people, in whose hearts he holds a place he never will fully realize. Hoping for a White Christmas. For all the cold weather that Omaha has escaped this season we are truly grateful, but not all are willing to sacrifice the beauty of a white Christmas on the altar of practicality. A little more of tingle in the air these next few weeks might be expected as a prediction in almost any well conducted almanac, but if one looked through the records of past years, it probably woiild be found that the present tem perate weather is not at all unusual. Compared with last year, Omaha has saved $300,000 on its coal bill, and Minneapolis claims an econ omy of $1,000,000. but it is to be fearedthat sooner or later, cold weather will eat into this. Nature has a way of evening up, and proph ets will now appear to warn of a late spring, or a long cold snap. If this cold weather is to come, there could not be a more ideal time for it than at Christmastide. It may be that there have been as many green Christmases in the past as white 6nes, but we remember the ones that came in with snow best, and thus we hope, withouti let it be said, exercising any influence s A petition for the -pardon of Victor Berger and others indicates a lack of faith in their final vindication by the courts. These irrepressibles will learn sometime that liberty is not license. The Union Pacific has plans' for remodeling the Tenth street viaduct, which reminds us that the union passenger station question still is open. A Kentucky village, 126 years old, asks to be relieved of its charter. Its citizens should know by this time what they want. No red Ink will be used for writing balances on the city books this year, for which the tax payers will be properly grateful. l- - Kansas proposes to adopt a "cabinet" similar to that of Nebraska. The idea is spreading. The League of Nations also got some plain talk from Canada. ASSURANCE.

If you want to take a warm bath or to make use of the counting sheep formula there is no objection to them provided you do , not keep yourscelf awake working them. Some people get themselves on edge in prolonged preparations for sleeping. Some concentrate so hard on count ing sheep that they keep awake. There la very serious objection to the use of sleeping drugs. Insomnia is a result, of lack of poise and calm, mental or emotional. It may be caused by wild, disorderly or by tense thinking or by unbridled emo tions. The only permanent cure is the cultivation of mental and emo tional control. Some Words of Warning. Omaha, Deo. 7. To the Editor of The Bee: It seems that European diplomatic! cunning has taken con trol of the League of Nations at Geneva.

The western conti nent will not under any pretext sur render its principles to an antiquated European diplomacy. The United! Pueyrredon for his true American spunk as a delegate of Argentine republio re, the League of Nations. England and France have met their match in the Argentine delegate. Let us not, as Americans, take the friendship of England and France too seriously. The attitude of Eng land, France and Japan in the far east, especially in China and Siberia, is not anv too bright. The Vander lip deal with the soviet government of RuKsla seems to create a friction that causes a cold chill up the spine pf England and France, who wish to monopolise the oil Industries of the world as well as the seas. Drunk with the victory of the late werld war won by America and Rusnia, England and France dream of get ting a strong foothold in China and Siberia. A Monroe doctrine would no doubt protect China from the danger of European greed of eon quest. Vanderlip's deal with soviet Russia should not concern England. France or Japan. America has a right, by the consent of soviet Rus sia to develop the resources of Si beria, which is Russian territory. Let America keep her vigilant eye on China and Siberia and not tolerate a European conquest pf these coun tries, and let us beware of European diplomacy that might land us into another world's war.
