One of the heritages from the days of Bryan in the State department is the unratified treaty with Colombia, now sent to the senate for rati fication. How ardently the president wishes fa vorable action on this issue is not disclosed, as the text of his message to the senate is with held. We may assume, however, that the matter will be thoroughly debated, and probably in open session, and the same influences that interposed against ratification while Wilson was in office will be exerted again to prevent what many of the ablest of Americansconsider nothing short of international blackmail. Senator Thomas ot Colorado, in January of thii year, sang his swan song in the senate in the form of a bitter attack on President Roose velt because of his part in the selection of the Panama canal route and the negotiations which gave the United States possession of that strip ci Panamanian territory. Senator Lenroot gave no tice of intention to reply, but did not reach the point. His address will very likely be made now. In it he may review the efforts made to reach a settlement with Colombia for the pur chase of the strip; he may tell of the treaty that was prepared and sent to the Colombian con gress for ratification; how the deliberations of that congress were interrupted by a revolution, following which the price asked of the United States was multiplied several times; how that so-called "revolution" was part of a plot con cocted by the "statesmen" of Colombia, who scented easy pickings in the decision of the United States to build the canal, and finally how Panama, acting in accord with its rights under the ordinance of union with Colombia, separated from that country and negotiated independently with the United States. Only when the Wilson administration came into office did the schemers dare to attempt to lew the. blackmail that is represented by iho i open. Friendly relations with Colombia are to i be desired, but should not be, purchased at the j price proposed. Our New Revenue Law. Very soon President Harding will be pin u possession of a definite forecast of one feature ot the new revenue law, that of the tariff bill. His uuaucrving devotion to the doctrine of prowe tion makes it reception certain. Just how far the trainers will consider the tariff as revenue producer is not disclosed by any of the advance infoi tiuliou, but prewar experience justifies the belief that better than half a billion can be se cured from this source, thus materially decrease!? 'he amount to be secured from other imposts. Opponents of the excess profits tax find soric comfort in the recent statement by Austen Cha'.i lierlaiu. British chancellor of the exchequer, th.it in the new budget for the United Kingdom the excess profits tax would be abandoned. How ever, he warned his country that the 950,000,C'JO pounds sterling asked for in the budget he in tended to bring lorward made no provision tor i $25,000,000 indemnity carried along with the auy reduction of the war debt, now better than ! treaty. Theodore Roosevelt's name is secure S.OOO.UUO.UOO pounds. As the United States finds ! from attack, but the United States treasury is ilscli at present with a prospective surplus, ap plicable to the discharge of floating indebtedness, the removal of the excess profits tax may be ac complished with less of disturbance to the Treas ury operations than will toliow in England.. ' Some debate has been had with reference to the desirability of funding the floating debt -.1 the nation. Should such a policy he adopted, it will have the effect of putting the federal gov ernment on a cash basis at once. With all the ' war issues of bonds, nches and short-time cer tificates consolidated into a single issue of lomr tenn bonds, the present fluctuating market viil cease to confuse holders of the different issues, and a certain degree of stability not now present will be established. Chief among the benefits to be expected from the refunding plan is that some reduction in the tax rate may be effected, because of the more certain adjustment of the sinking fund charge and the removal of embarrassment incident to ' and the need for redeeming the Victory notes two years from now By the time the revenue law s ready for action these points of policy will have been definitely determined, and 'the amount of money needed to carry on the government w:Ii be more certainly known. Whatever form is adopted, one thing must al ways be kept in mind: All taxes are taken out of wealth produced, and no matter how collected rr distributed, each individual who adds anything to the sum total of national wealth pays in propor tion to the toll taken for public use. A Voice Not Especially "Dumb." Advocates of the. League of Nations who sor row because the United States is not mixed in the present entanglement in Europe through membership in the League ot .Nations may get a ; little comfort if they will only hold their horses. Washington reports that Secretary Hughes takes the Wilson view of the mandate that concerns the Island of Yap.' This is to the general effect that if the mandate contemplates giving to Japan exclusive control of the island, then it will iot be regarded by the United States. Perhaps we may hear a little further from the new secretary of state with respect to the Mesopotamia!! man date, which docs not at the moment have great popular support in England. Secretary Colby wrote the Wilsonian views on this question some time ago, especially inquiring as to the status of American oil rights in the region included. A reply has been received from the council of the league, to the general effect that, as the United States is not a member, its protest will be con sidered in due time, and meanwhile the powers to whom the mandates are assigned will proceed to administer them in their own way, subject only to the supervision of the league. This is interpreted to mean that the United States will be permitted to submit its protests as a suppliant, and will wait the pleasure of the council. How ever, Japan is not so certain that the objections laid by Mr. Wilson will be held in abeyance by Mr. Harding. The suggestion that Mr. Hughes is 'in line with the late idministration on the point may be accepted as due notice to the world that the voice of the United States may be dumb, so tar as the League of Nations is concerned, but it will be distinctly heard on matters that concern the national dignity and rights of Arret -ican citizens. Gunshot Politics in Chicago. In Chicago, it might appear, they take their politics in deadly earnest, since two men hae been slain in a political feud. The fact, how ever, is just the contrary, and politics there is a light matter in which good citizens have little interest or influence. While elsewhere political gangs have been badly shattered in the last lew years, the machine rules in Chicago without fear or interference. With the inwardness of the assassination of iwo of the henchmen of Alderman Powers out siders can not become acquainted; probably it was nothing more than a struggle between ward factions. Under the American plan of govern ment, these differences are settled by the ballot rather than bullet, but not so in the metropolis ruled by Mayor Thompson. Whcp young Theo dore Roosevelt was there during the campaign, he refused to speak at a political banquet to which Thompson was invited, and if the good Cutting Off Crime at the Source. In swooping down on the drug peddlers of ' Omaha the city and federal law officers have ; done something more than enforce the law J they have sought out a cause of crime and , eliminated some of its breeding places. From i the purely defensive tactics of arresting high waymen and prowlers after their deeds have been I committed, they have turned to an offensive i drive to stop crime at its source. j The distinction can best be pointed out by the development of medicine into a preventive j as well as a curative science. The recent meet- ' ing here where great surgeons lectured to the i public on the necessity for treating the disea:c of cancer in its first stage instead of waiting until it progress has made cure hopeless illustrates this common sense attitude. There was a time, too, when yellow fever was treated solely Ly medicine, but the epidemic was never adequately countered until the swamps that bred it were drained. Every city,has its centers of contagion, but few people thought that there could be such an extensive traffic in drugs as has been revealed by these raids. How many drug addicts then are in Omaha is not known, but in the city of New York it is estimated that there arc 300,000. Police officials declare that this habit is respon sible for a large portion of the crimes agaili"t the community. Raymond B. Fosdick, in his book, "American Police Systems," quotes one chief of police as saying: Men and women who ordinarily commit no crime, when under the influence of their va vorite dope, will hesitate at none. When the craving is long unsatisfied it becomes a strong and merciless driver, forcing its victims to take chances of securing the necessary means by methods from which they would shrink when in normal condition. Suppression of the drug traffic in Omaha w ill, of course, prevent the spread of the narcotic habit, but the older addicts no doubt will he driven to extremities to obtain their stimulant. It appears, therefore, that some medical treat ment should accompany the program of sup pression in order to obtain the full benefits of the preventive measures.

Sir: Will you tell us in your valuable but literary column just what Mr. Hardimj mam in his inaugural address by: "We have ntiis tahen nnpreparedness to embrace it to be a chal lenge of the reality?"

M. fiJLKL is no one more reasonable, more open to argument than a German, it you are sitting on his neck. Anatole J'roncc llo .Does Not. Sir: Out of fairness to Anatole France, allow me to protest against the quotation from llio "Wicker Work Woman" in the editorial column March 2. The writer's intention was evidently to appeal to an authority as weighty as that of Anatole Franco in his contention that It's me and It don't should be tolerated, if not accepted. My objection is that the two cases brought forth by A. V. ("lierre" and "lendemain") have noth ing in common with It's me and It don't. They concern the formation of words (morphology), not the agreement of parts (syntax) and tlv.'y belong to a remote past, not to the present. Tlie soldering of the elided article "1" to its noun had already taken place, for "lierre" in the 15th cent., for "lendemain" in the J6th cent, that is to say at a time when the French language was passing through great and rapid changes and also when the stabilizing influence of the press had not yet been deeply felt. If A. F. hafl sup ported such barbarisms as ae.s fois, for "parfofs" or "quelquesfcis," and e'est une chose de conse quence for "e'est une chose d'unportance, the editorial writer would have been more fortunate in his selection. As soon as ft large part of a population is conscious of grammatical rules, its language does not depend entirely on usape. Man's craving for respectability makeshim more and more the slave of convention. Language is a convention. Like all conventions it is subject to rules issued by the more respectable parts t,l society. And if the editorial writer has a first hand acquaintance with A. F., he knows that the creator of "Crainquebille." if an anarchist in politics, is a blue-blooded aristocrat in French j grammar and style. M. BE ROE RET. A MODEST man is Pres.

When a sanitary expert is asked how grinding' can be made safe he almost invariably replies by wet grinding, t'nder the advice of ex perts it great deal of the grinding and polishing of metal mid stone is now done by tlie wet method. Prof. l'. E. A. Winslow and Mr. Leonard (Jreenburg were allowed to Investigate the air in an ax grinding establishment to determine the amount of dust it contained. They found so much dust they lecoiniiienud, instead of wet grind ing, that axes be ground and polished by the dry process, but an exhaust pipe be located where it would catch tlie duRt from the grinding face, and carry it out of the room. The duat particles were not only abund unt but they were just tho size, shape, and general quality best adapted to making trouble in the lungs. Their study indicated the need of further study to determine whether all wet grinding should not be sup planted by dry grinding done under exhaust hoods. It may be that ax grinding is an exception. In ax grinding the wheels turn rapidly as a stream of water plays on the stone. The grinder sits on a saddle, which presses tlie ax against tho stone with tho man's weight. Tlie wheel turns upward toward the man's face. The rapidity of the wheel is such and the heat produced is so great that at the point of grind tho ax and stone are dry, and the dust flies up as a dry powder. Winslow and Oreenburg found the people afraid of the grinding room, because of the tuberculosis deaths which they attributed to it. In con sequence the old time American grinders had surrendered their places a long time ago to a proces sion of workers of several foreign born groups. One nationality had succeeded an other, until now the grinders were nearly all Lithuanians and Poles. Dr. W. H. Drury of the United States public health service took up the study where Winslow and (Ireenburg left off. He studied the vital statistics of the grinders and polishers in this ax factory in com- A Bit o ' Cheer Each Day o the Year By John Kendrick Bangs. WEEDLESS.

The study ex tended over the last 20 years. He found IS polishers and grinders working in this factory had died of consumption in that time. The pol ishers and grinders had a tubercu losis death rate of l'J. as compared with 1.6 for others in mill, 1.7 for male population state of Connecticut, and about 2 for the entire population of the throe towns in which these grinders Hnd polishers lived. He found no other explanation that was at all adequate for this enormous sonsumption rate. In ad dition, grinders and polishers had ubout twice as much pneumonia as did other workers in tlie mill.

Here and there people already are seen dig ging in their garden. No need, of coupsc, to start so early, but the impulse to rc-cnlist in tiic garden army that proved so much worth while in the years of the war is hastened by the warming sun. "I know of no combination in the world l-o certain to produce a happy heart as good books and a farm or garden," says David Grayson. Nothing is more practical as an aim than hap piness, yet it is as a measure of economy that home grown vegetables make thein main appeal. The. average American family can grow one eighth of its food and save at least $100 a year by a home truck patch, according to a survey made by Columbia university. t Investigation among a thousand families with home vegetable and fruit plots furnished the basis of this estimate made by a professor ot agriculture. It would be interesting to know whether he took into account the added appetite, that is gained by contact with nature and a hoe1 THOCSA YD AND AFTERNOONS. XXVII. Overcome by the rehearsal of his misfortunes the bellhop was obliged to suspend his narrativo, which had visibly affected his audience. 'This is a queer world, in which neither honesty nor roguery is appreciated,'- said the housebreake r. 'Of the two roguery stands the better chance, and that is not more than Just, since it often accompanies understanding of a high order.' 'That,' declared Nathan Weatherwax, 'is a false conclusion drawn from a misspent youth. That honesty is a better policy than dishonesty I have learned in a long and successful business ex perience,.' 'The authorities are against yoUi Mr. Wild,' said Valentine courteously, 'and by au thorities I mean the philosophers and poets who have weighed these ponderous matters.' 'There is no doubt that truth-telling can be overdone,' paid the Police Captain. 'WThat says the proverb: Flattery sits ,jn the parlor while plain dealing ia kicked out of doors. This unfortunate bellhop has been kicked oift of many doors. With him truth-telling is as much a disease as a virtue, and uhflts him for any useful career.' 'I am not so eure of that,' replied Valentine. 'It occurs to me that'he is Ideally suited to the diplomatic service, for if one tells the truth in that profes- ! sion he is not believed, and so veracity serves i better than the most-ingenious falsehood or I half-truth. And since 1 am indebted to this youth, however indirectly, for the return of my shirt, it will afford me pleasure to recommend him to porno friends of mine iat Washington.' The bellhop made many protests of gratitude, and slipping out of the pink shirt he gave it to my brother and buttoned his coat-collar about his neck. 'There only remains," said the Police Captain, 'the formality of identifying Mr. Wild as the person who gave the shirt to the bell hop's excellent uncle.' 'I am willing to waive that point,' said the housebreaker, 'for I strongly auspect that the barber, too, will have a yarn to spin, in which case we shall all be here till the cows come home.' 'Gentlemen,' said the Police Captain. "1 have been hugely entertained, and if the barber has a story to tell he certainly shall tell it.' At this moment the bellhop's excellent uncle waa ahown in. He gave his name as Benjamin Hhagpat, and readily identified the housebreaker as the man from whom he had received the pink shirt. The adventures of that magic garment seemed now at a conclusion, but this (said the fair Saidee) was by no means the case. Otiiir amorous enterprises awaited it, and my brother little thought how brief a time it was to remain, in his possession. 15,000 Miles on Tires SQf, Greater Fuel Efficiency Zero-Balance Road ability Less Annual Depreciation On Exhibit at the AUTOMOBILE SHOW Next Week Traynor Automobile Co.

I was wry much impressed with the keen interest taken by the delegates dur ing the convention, but 1 was very much shocked with the action of our stuto president. Among other things, he recommended to abolish the interlocking boards of directors: ho recommended that the live stock commission Arm bo incorporated; he recommened that the $90,000 ac crued profits of the exchange prior to the time it was transferred into a stock company be disposed of. Let's see, what did he do to show his sincerity? An amendment was mutlo to the constitution to do nway with one person serving on more than one union ncflvity board. This change was evidently made with the idea in view, that better attention could be given if his thoughts ond energy were not divided. Will Mr. Oustafson please tell us. If he is sin cere in his recommendation, why he has not resigned from the Nation al Co-Operative company which he has been proclaiming as a Farmers Union activity? This also applies to other members of the state board that are holding directorships in tho Co-Operative company. Again will Mr. (justafson tell us, ir he lias worked day and night, Sunday and week days, for the Farmers Union on full pay, how he can consistently take other positions in tho co-operative Held? How can he, if ho is in mind to tell us, hold a job with the Farmers Union at $6,000 a year and a Job with the Farm Bureau Federation at $12,000 per year, if the public information is correct ? Mr. GustafspNi reversed himself when the matter of the $90,000 was up for consideration; first, he showed by his own amendment to the amendment that ho was willing to settle the matter then and there; but he showed a sense of fairness bv dividing with those activities that had not helped to make it, namely: The Farmers Union Live Stock Com mission company, The National Co Operative company and The Farm ers Union Insurance company. When he saw that his amendment was in danger he withdrew his amendment and the whole matter was tabled. Again will Mr. Gustaf son tell us, by what authority, when tlie attention of the subscribers of tlie intended incorporators of the Farmers Union Live Stock Commis sion company was manifested by their subscription and proxies to be used for detail work only, why was this proposition turned down? The press seems to give a lot of attention to the wonderful maneuv ering of C. H. Gustafson, the com mittee of 17 and the farm bureau.

Day dreams, fuddling efforts, lack of thought and application, are the "dud" shells in the business barrage. Straight shooting consists of intel ligent, well directed effort ; keen eye sight for the future; an ear to the ground for present conditions and hands and brain working over time. There is always success in business for the man or firm that does work painstakingly with completeness and finality; for those who do their work so well that there are no ragged edges to patch up afterwards; for those who meet their public a little more than half way; for those who back action with integrity. That is straight shooting And straight shooters tread on the safest, surest and shortest road to achievement. Think it over. President. L V. NICHOLAS OIL GO.
