"Baby Bonds" Are Attractive.
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

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

' A Case of Deadly Humor.
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

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

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

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. , -

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

Question r Dobpotleggers ever ct a shine?
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

Compound interest is a wonderful deviceand
tlii NowTeraevite who olanned to use it in order
to make liis bequest increase and multiply may
have been of sound mind. Assuming that $1,500
which he left will be allowed to grow from the
addition of interest at 6 per cent, compounded
annually, the principal will become $500,000 111
perhaps. century. 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

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.
