Local dealers in securities express approval of the plan suggested by The Bee fcr meeting the needs of the Board of Education, that of selling the bonds in small denominations to the itizens. As an investment the issue is partic ularly attractive. The question of the board s credit is solved byNstateincnts to the effect that the school district is looked upon as being as sound as the city, and that the school bonds are tor some reasons preieraoic 10 mc u bonds. Chicago has just sold a large block of city bonds at a rate to yield 4.6 per cent over a twenty-year period. Omaha gas bonds are of fered at 5.2 per cent,' and the notes issued by the Board of Education to be taken up in Sep tember are on the market at 6 per cent.. this oasis the' 5 per cent Jomi looks mighty good. The Bee is encouraged lo believe that the sale of these 'to the citizens in a sum suffi cient to mott the immediate, requirements of the school board can he readily effected. It is worth trying.' A- . x . WHAT THE WAR COST NEBRASKA. Nebraska furnished more than 40,000 soldiers of the highest class to make up, its proportional share of the great A. F, E. Other thousands of men were taken, away to work in the great ship yards and other war plants. The state went over the top for the Liberty loans, it led the procession in the War Savings drive, its people subscribed more than their alloted share to each of the huge charitable funds presented; the farms of the state yvere lilled, by the old men and the women;; because the young men were called into. iir or 'into other industrial pursuits., In every "possible way, without mur mur knd with utmost enthusiasm, Nebraska did its bit. Y Our people are modestly proud of their share in the conflict for freedom. What they did was done with cheerful devotion, and U would all be done again: were another- such crisis, presented. How is this sacrifice arid de votion rewarded? ' YY ; V f By depriving Nebraska''oX' a vote in' congress and by also depriving Nebraska" of a vote in the ' electoral college, which decides the final choice of president of the United , States.' ' . The reapportionment of the membershipof congress is based on the. census .of 1920, which is the compilation of population figures made possible by a distorted and. arbitrary distribu tion of the residents of thej country. In 19i7 and 1918 the government tf tlje United States fixed' certain industrial conditions that have not, yet been entirely removed. .Localities oil the sea coast wer designated as the centers of pro ductive activity, and to tjiem were drawn thou? sands of men from the interior of the country.. These men took "their families with them -in many , instances, and a shift ihjthe normal distyi-. . bution of population was effected., A "ttle ex amination of the changes proposed in tlie new apportionment bill will show.hpw this influence. j has been felt by thestates affected. , ; : y . Y ' Already shifts are under lay which will . restore something like the balance that existed prior to the war. In Washington, for example "where an additional member of congress and consequently another Vote hi the electoral col lege is awarded, the decline in ship building and a relaxation activity in the lumber cams is reducing the -population. But .the- census has 1 - 1 ! J U ..-..It it. .nHntit,it1 ftnA nt il congress is to fix its membership. The con gestion in other great industrial centers, inci dent to war production, is ' being reduced and Vthe workmen are migrating in search- of em ployment elsewhere but the fiat is not to be recalled oa, this account. v .. Y . Interference by the senate with any ' action of the house fixing its own .membership islnot probable,, unless it be contingent on the effect the new apportionment rlas on the " electoral college.' Whether this, will be - considered js undetermined, for no indication is yet given, as to the temper of the upper body.- In the mean time, Nebraska, because it did contribute-in all ways, even to the extent of a considerable pro portion of its man power, to winning the war, is to be deprived of a member of congress and at electoral vote because the men who were taken away by the" government have not' yet ' returned to . the state. This is a considerable price to payi but perhaps in 1931 the vote now seized will be returned." Mitchell Palmer at the Bar. The assertion so frequently made that Ameri cans lack respect for the law may explain why Attorney General Palmer's course in office has not -aroused any degree of popular-opposition. And, at the same time, his actions may have the law. The one thing for which Mr. Palmer is noted is his deportation of alien radicals. It is precisely on this achievement that he is being assailed by two important and respectable sets of citizens ' The first charges, tha,t the sensational round' ups of suspicious looking foreigners included many American citizens, some' of them without radical taint, and all with legal rights that were. - violated by the refusal to allow consultation with attorneys or character witnesses, were brought by members of the legal, profession. In the list of those signing the accusations that are now being examined by congress are a number of radical lawyers and a large number of men of the type of Roscoe Pound, head of the Harvard law school. Whatever the, motive of some of men. the eenerai intent clearly has bceo to uphold the good reputation and character of Anwrin iMrisnrtidcnee. ." From quite another angle comes now an exhaustive report from the Federal Council of thr Churches of Christ in America. On the human side, it finds the method of deportation futile as well as unfair. With the exception of ,-lhe coirmaratively few persons clearly deportable under the law, it is concluded that "these aliens needed not legal, but 'social and educational treatment looking .toward an effectual mterpre tation to them of the best ideals of American . ... r. jt j .i . .i. life. : Gomg iartnerrrt is aec.arcu mat, nrfrt a oerson merely for the possession of ideas, however objectionable. 4$ not only an illiberal but a wholly futile method of directing intellec tual development.' f ' j .

An Australia'n-'has laughed himself to death over the prices of 194, according to the verdict of -a coroner's jury in Sydney, . While his vic tim.of a perverted sense "of humor was reading the market orices in an old paper, he made a re mark to his family and burst into a roar ot laughter. His merriment continued until he collapsed and rolled on the floor, where he died of heart failure. From this unhappy fate the rest of us are saved by not knowing whether to laugh or to weep. Instead, we quarrel among ourselves not only over, the" question of prices, but of wages and profits. Before the war prices were lower, and wages were lower, too. A wave of depression was ended when mjllions of men laid down their tools and went into the army, every body left- at home was thereupon employed at good wages: The standard , of living went up- even hough billions of dollars worth ot goods were being consumed and destroyed iri the con- flict. When this waste ceased-with the armis tice, and the soldiers, who had been merely con sumers and not producers, entered industry, in stead of growing better, things grew worse around the world. . Since 1917, statistics show. prices have risfir, profits have decreased and the people have barely succeeded in upholding their improved standard of living. In the midst of all the argument back ' ana forth, it will not do to forget that if the general level ot: prices goes up. or down, the net result is tinchanced. Prices are high -or low in com parison with wages, and wages are hot to b computed in money but in wnat tney win Duy. A decline in jjrices is never desirable if at the, same time real wages fall more rapidly. No doubt there is "a; joke in this somewhere, out unfortunately;, the- Australian: who saw theJppint took it with hint wheii he died. , ' " . . . ..i Y : Aoorecittive and Appreciated. Y, In the Daily Arbor State, published at Wy-J more, appears the following editorial comment. Yesterday's issue of TheJJmatia tset gave art interview with, Father. Cronin of Wymote,? There were many who doubted that an Amer can editor had the courage to print conditions v as seen in .If eland and related by a man of Irish birth,' bar here is indisputable evidence that The Bee tad that courage. ..Whether; yoti -be Catholic of Protestant, Jew Or Gehtile. you should feel proud of this exhibition of -fearlessness of an American editor. We are told that not one' sentence was cut on the in terview. That, it was published just as the m-t terviewer got it from Father Cronin. ' ' We aDoreciate the compliment intended, for The Bee aims ever to be fair, in its treatment of all. Occasionally, partisans of one or another sort complain' because the editor does' not find it possible to adopt the: peculiar personal views of the particular champiott who is at the moment pieaaing hks tusc. - " vm;,.. to convince one of these devoted individuals that his especial interest is not paramount. Proper oversight of the columns of a great newspaper calls for continual exercise , .of discretionary powers iri determining "what to publish, and this discrimination is exercised with an eye to tne service f the public rather than to meet the personal attitudorof the man in charge.- To be great and successful, newspaper must also be fair, firm in its opinions but just toits oppo nents as well as to its supporters. , - SHOULD Miss Monroe be motivated to change the legend on the cover of Poetry, she might do worse than select the following, from The New Cambridge: "The aim of a poet should be to refrain from writing poetry except upon extreme provoeation."

A Matter for Proof. v The question of veracity that has arisen be tween Colonel Abadie and Charles M. Schwab ought , easily to be settled. The colonel, 'Who was the comptroller for the United States ship ping board, has alleged that part of the board's" ooeratinsr deficit to the amount of ?J0U,uw was on Recount of the personal expenses of Mr. Schwab, who flatly denies the accusation, rierc is where the books and vouchers of the corpora tion, if any were kept, will come into service. These records should show the items paid and on whose account. It is not likely that any voucher -signed by Charles M- Schwab will appear, but itought to be comparatively easy to trace even so small an amount as a quarter ot a million" dollars through the ramifications by which mora than $100,000,000 leaked out of the treasury. People do not like to thiuk that one so eminent as Mr. .Schwab, and who gave his services so freely to the government in a time of great need, was the' beneficiary f any portion of the waste that characterizes almost every ac- tiyity of government during the war period; nor can he rest solely on his denial of the state ments made by Colonel Abadie. . The records should be . examined and responsibility fixed. Proof one way or the other is available, and the public should have all the information needed to clear up the point. v- j .

THINKING AS ONE WALKS, One morning I walked diagonally across a park which was freshly cov ered the night before by about a half inch snowfall. A walker had passed before 111c mid I was interested in following his tracks, for he had ndt kept to the paths. In that park there aro a number of ridges running north and -south and the northwest to southeast track I was following cut several of these diagonally. SI noticed that when my trackmakcr approached one of these sharp Inclines ho sometimes turned to the left and made tho top by a quick, short climb, or more frequent ly he veered to the right, conscious ly or unconsciously, shunning the climb or at least looking for an easy place to get up. , An article might be written on the physics of the question, the difficulty in fitting firm soled shoes td the sliDDerv incline of a hill, the ar rangement of the muscles in the human leg and body. But my thoughts ran to the psychology of the performance. ' There are well ordered minds which move straight toward the goal and when they strike hills diagonally neither turn to the left and tackle them nor turrf to the right and avoid them as long as possible.- There are other good quality minds which, feeling that the hilLio the left Is to be climbed, turn to the left and climb it. ' Furthernore, they put on a little more speed as well as a little more steam and they go up the hill with a dash. I think a physiologist would tell them that the violent effort used for high speeds and hard driving is not quite corhpensated for by the brief resting spell which ensues during the walk to the right along- the ridge. When the man gets to the crossing point where his straight ahead course would have taken mm ne has useu up a little more energy than if he had gone straight ahead. ' The tackle-the-hard-job-flrst kind of a mind is a good one even though it is a little wasteful. But how about the turnaway mind? The mind which puts oft tackling the hard job? It Is the most in efficient of the three. It is the type or the habit, if you wish to call it so, out of which much mental sick ness develops. It may be that the mind turns down the ridgre In order to find an easy place "to cross. If so. out of it may develop shrewd ness, or opportunism, but it may go one step further and develop mental dishonesty or worse (fnaybe.) It easily may develop Into an ex cuse makipg mind and that type of mind Is ineffective and forms the basis for bad mental hygiene or men tal disorder. There are many worriers among the turn-up-the-hill type, but there are more among the turn-along-the-level type provided we eliminate the loafers from the latter group. The conclusion which I was at when my body had finished Its walk and my mind its excursion was that the shun-the-respon8ibility type of mlrid was constantly making trouble Many recover from Bright' disease A few casts, in tho absence of other symptoms, do not Indicate much Bright' dlseusc.

But why did this shrewd Vnpfarnr limit the srowth of his bequest to that which will occur in 100 years? If he had provided that his trustees should.-continue! to accumulate interest at the assumed rate for 300 years; the available total would be rather more than $50,000,000,000; .and if he had instructed that the bequest lie fallow for -four centuries, his trustees would find themselves the owners of thi. whole world at the end ot that perioa. After carrying the investigation to this point, it begins to appear that there is a limit to the good which oost-mortcm tftrift can effect. Baltimore More Justice Courts. Needed. . ' Omaha.' Jan. 18. To the Editor of The Bee: When the number of justices of the peace in Omaha was reduced to only fine lor a onyo! 200,000 people and the municipal court with three Judges was created. It was supposed by the authors of the new law, that most of the busi ness of the six or seven justice courts would go to the municipal court and that the one justice of the peace .would have but little to do: But such has not proven , to be the case, for the court of Justice Col lins last year did far more business than all the threemunicipal judges. It was easy enough to create the municipal court, but it is not so easy to force people to go there if they do not want to go there. , There has been some talk among the members of the legislature of hf mnnfrv of nrovidinar for two more municipal judges, but I telW them that it will simply cause a further division of the business of the municipal court and people will still continue to go to the justice court. I think the best way out of It would be to provide for one or two ntore justices of the peace for the' present justice court is simply overwhelmed with business and it will continue that way even if there should be a dozen municipal judges. My plan would be to divide the city into at least two justice dNstricts and have the dividing line on Leaven worth street. I understind that the present municipal court cost the taxpayers of Omaha last year about $5,000 more "than was taken in by that court. The justice court costs the city nothing in taxes at all. If thought best, provide by law that none but lawyers shall be jus tices of the peace, as all of the present municipal judges are law yers. It la not lack of confidence in the present municipal judges that causes people In small cases to pre fer Justice courts, but they simply prefer justice courts and they can not be forced to the municipal court.
