In declining. to fix the amount of reparation that Germany should pay to the Allies, President Harding has signified his willingness to assist in reopening the discussion in event the Germans have a reasonable proposition to offer. This at titude can not be strained into an endorsement of the appeals made from Berlin for a reduction of amount, nor construed as modifying the al ready expressed belief that Germany should pay all that is asked, or as much as can be paid. France and England naturally , are deeply concerned in the position of the United States, and the expressions of disappointment from the French ' are not unexpected. In Paris.it had been hoped that a categorical refusal would be returned by Washington to the appeal from Ber lin. This, of course, would have suited the French program to a nicety, but even the eager statesmen of that land realize that our position as leader just now justifies, arrangements for es tablishing the. future on something a little re moved from "revanche." Fully appreciating and heartily sympathizing, with the' French, we also. realize the predicament of the Germans, and un derstand that the burden laid upon them must not be such as will crush the people, nor add to' the economic confusion that must be relieved before Europe is fully restored to health. The United States is devoted to justice, and will not be conteflt with less in this case, but even jus tice may be done without undue hardship, and shoutd rrot hold any tincture of vengeance. What Germany may reasonably be required to pay is a matter of much moot, with a wide variation of opinion as to definite amount to be finally paid. The $36,000,000,000 demanded by. the Allies is based on the payment "of $21,000,- 000,000, capitalized over thirty years. Thomas W. Lamont suggests $25,000,000,000 as the sum to be required, which would mean more than is asked. Norman Davis pjaces the amount at be tween ten and fifteen billions, and ; Bernard Baruch is committed to somewhat similar fig- t. t-: j:a v.4n...M .....t, tlisf warrants the president in making his suggestion to giving him, and as chief of staff he w ill look that the subject may again be opened.

' The people of a big city are not all of one kind or of one mind. They do not have exactly the same views of all questions. - Why should they elect seven city commissioners who are representative merely of one group, even though that be in the majority? Why not have a com mission that is truly representative so that, out of the exchange of views, there may come a composite fairly representative of the whole people? ' , That is the problem before Omaha voters to day. Two slates have been made up.- -The ordinary voter made neither. The job was done for him by self-appointed leaders. , Why should the voter follow the line laictdown for him by others? - The Bee in' this campaign is an ordinary voter. It had no hand in the making ot either of the two slates of candidates. It cannot stomach either in its entirety. Frankly, it can not see how any intelligent voter can "vote it straight" in .either case. Let's forget the slates. Let s elect men from both slates who have abilhv. integrity and de votion to the people's interest. , Place tor General Pershing.

We can take care of ex-congressmen and ex-senators, have been Inown to find, useful occupation for an ex-governor,' and frequently have succeeded in inducting former officeholders of various grades and stations into civil life under condi tions that made for content. But a war such as the one we just are on the point of declaring to be at an end sets up something more difficult. The wonderful army has dwindled away, from more than four millions to less than 200,000; major generals have shed stars, some of tnem have gone into total eclipse and so on down, the line, and the busy life of the republic has swal lowed up again the military panoply and covered, it with the habiliments of peaceful work.

In comparison with the lives of mill operatives in the early 19th century negro slavery as practiced in our south had aspects of , I 1 rrt - . . lumen jiumanuy. x nis is not merely tne veraict of philanthropists and social reformers. Scientists whose prime interest is in quite another field attribute to the early-decades of the factory sys tem a widespread weakening and debasement of tne cngiisn national physique. Toward the bet tering of such conditions philanthropy and com mon sense unaided might 'have accomplished something; but the decisive factor was the organ ization of unions and repeated strikes. Only by Dnnging tne iniquities ot the industrial system to the public consciousness vividly and dramatically was it possible to break down the might of vested interests ana laissez-taire individualism. In the "modern world the problems of labor are less dramatic and infinitely more complex, buU.hey are still very serious. "Complete union ization ot tne industry ot this country, as at tempted," Judge Gary believes, "would be the beginning of industrial decay." Giving full force to the words "as attempted," few well-balanced observers would dispute this. Wherever union ism has gained control, its waste, inefficiency, and indeed tyranny, have been notorious. With an inerrancy of instinct that would be ludicrous it it were not tragic, organized labor has es poused, one- after another, most of the lost causes greenbackism, populism, the single tax, aucuuisni, syndicalism, even in its saner mo ments its economic theory has. been destructive. Only of late have its leaders and only the more advanced of them come t5 a realization of the basic fact that enhanced productiveness is as vital to labor as to capital. It is equally true, how ever, that the most enlightened economists have no clear program for the remedying of such evils as still remain in the industrial world. They commend to both sides the soirit of svmoathv. an eniargea understanding, tarthtul, energetic co operation and that is about all. Judare Garv calls for "laws clear well Ae fined, practicable and easy of comprehension.'' V T A. i- ' I 1 1, ' . it tcriainiy suunus wen. nut u is only a century ago that to belong to a labor organization was a crime punishable and punished by imprison ment, a development as novel and as basic as the industrial- system ' can be followed only tardily an;! gropingly by the needed legislation. Men have first .to comprehend just where they stand, and whither they are tending. W7hen we can frame clear and practicable laws to govern the labor situation tho crucial struggle will be past. Meantime, the unions are the best avail able means for preventing a relapse into the old slough of laissez-faire. That is one reason why it is needful incessantly to combat the. tendency of their more conservative leaders to be merely selfish, the haste of hotheads toward destructive radicalism. ' Judge Gary presents eloquently the steel cor poration's policv of generosity in the matter of wages, of enlightenment in the mater of educa tion and general welfare. His policy is abund antly humane. But would it have been quite what it is if there had been, no pressure from without of organized labor? ' . above the freezing point. This was ona factor in the wonderful record made- by the Ourler milk nt Pari Tha other one was cleanliness. It was milked from healthy cows into clean, small mouth palls by cleanly people and that was the other factor. Tho dairy husbandry department of the University of Illinois invest tigated to determine where the germs get into, the milk. They say unclean milk cans are the principal cause of tha trouble. Each 1 5 drops of milk .(about) as it reaches the country dairy the morning after It Is produced contain about 50,000 bacteria.' Most of these are of harm less varieties such as cause souring. Tho rfumber may be increased to 50,000,000 if the milk is improperly Handled. ' It may be only a few hundred or a few thousand if the utensils are all flean and the milk is kept cold. The University of Illinois investi gation indicated that at least 80 per cent of the germ life -gluing into milk comes ordinarily i from the utensils. The only perfect way to sterilize a milk can or pail is to treat it with steam under pressure. A can sterilized after this fashion should be covered by a cap and kept tightly closed until ready to be used. The cover should be removed, the milk poured in and the cover replaced as quickly as possible. On the other handy if the can has been washed with water, hot or cold, or even treated withjordinary steam, the top should be left off until the can has dried out. In fact, if the can can be dried with dry heat so much the better. After drying, the cover should be re moved and the uncovered can and its cover should be set on a can rack in the sun for as long a time as pos sible. If the cover bo left on a fair ly clean but moist nonsterile milk can for several hours the stench will be fearful. No milk man who knows his busines will put milk into such can until it has been deodorized. In other word's, covering the can is good business if the sterilizing has been done with steam under pres sure. . It is the reverse if the clean ing has been done with water and ordinary, steam.: A farmer can produce clean milk with a low bacterial count in an in expensive and not very clean barn if he will be clean in lus methods and especially if he will keep his cans and pail's bacteriologically clean. A demonstration made by Dr. North at Homer, N. ,T., nearly 10 years ago -proved all these points. The University of Illinois finds that what is true in New York is true in the upper Mississippi valley. If some one would try it out in California, j Mississippi and Mnnesota they would 1 satisfaction of the demands made under the terms of the treaty. An opinion prevails, justl ficd to some' degree, that the authorities at Ber lin have not been . entirely frank and open m their dealings .with the Allies. Until this is dis pelled, and it will not be wholly removed until the ffovernment at Berlin shows a sincerity that now seems lacking, reparation adjustment will solution for the proper employment ni.1s who mieht otherwise find time hanging heavilv on their hands. , It is equivalent to the i British practice of making them peers and em balming them in the House of loras. Brighter for the Farmers. The farmers have coined a new term which not partake of the nature that really means a j they apply to themselves, "loseiteers," but even settlement.

Senator "Pat" Harrison's Tirade. Only! partUaft politics of the bitterest variety could inspire such a performance as that of Sen ator Harrison of Mississippi in his ex-post facto assault pn Ambassador Harvey. It is clearly. dentific marketing, but at the same time sight is withm the senator slights to cntieize tneaamm- being lost of the necessity for economizing so. thev have not lost confidence that a turn for the better is .coming . Cheaper railroad rates are in expectairty; the Federal Farm Loan bank is getting under way again, a cut has been an nounced in agricultural machinery,, and an emer gency tariff to safeguard them against foreign competition is, through one house of congress. Each one of these items means millions to the farmers and justifies their, confidence in ulti-. mate success, bide by side witn political pro tection is progressing the -movement for more. American Emigration istratiofi, and we may expect to be entertained in "this fashipn many times before Mr. Harding's first terra . Is over, and his second begun. To make the criticism effective, however, it should be applied hot, and not be brought in' cold and clammy, liko a left-over pudding. When Col onel Harvey's name was before the" senate for confirmation, then ft would have been entirely within the proprieties for the fire-eating democrat; from" Mississippi to havo uncorked his vials of wrath. It can not bef that he was waiting for ( a chance, or for inspiration. As a member of - the Cox galaxy of experts, "Pat" Harrison could ' not have been entirely in ignorance of what was going on in , connection with the campaign. Therefore, we may conclude that the senator is either slow to wrath, or like Maieppa, he treas ured up a. wrong, biding his own time t6 loosen the thunder bolts oPhis denunciation. - However - that may be, his rattling of he bones of the ' League of Nations will not arouse much popular interest in that dead and unlamented issue, in America nor will it likely lessen the satisfaction, - of Ambassador Haavey that he did aid in, some 4 way to encompass the demise of the covenant ..itself, and. cheer, the Coxites on their self- chosen .way to political extinction. A? an ill times exhibition of personal spite, Senator Har- - rison's outburst is deplorable; as an interna tional episode it is negligible. 4 - Mathewson Coming Back. x the base . ball season ; opens with Christy Mathewson, still missing'from the lineup."

When it reached substantial proportions curiosity was aroused. The national pride was touched.

A Coal Trade Warning The American Coal Journal solemnly, and doubtless earnestly, warns the "consumer that unless he buys at once the coal he will need this year, and starts the coal moving, there will be recurrence of the coal name of 1920. Dilatory buyers under urgent necessity of obtaining supplies will bid up the price and we shall have again that which the coal man dreads most a runaway market. The term "coal man" is indefinite. Coal mine operators profited by the runaway market- last year, the limiting , factor m their . profit-taking being the shortage, in coal cars. "Coal men" include dealers: large and , small. To dealers the American Coal Journal may per haps lift a persuasive voice. That its appeal for early and adequate buying will effect the dis position of the consumer is improbable, because 1t will be considered, justly or unjustly, a warn. mg responsive to the wishesof the coal trade. There is a general .and a profound feeling among consumers that coal has been higher than ft should have been,. The question of railroad rates is up for discussion, with the president urg ing downward revision of rates as a concomitant of downward revision, of railroad wages and other curtailment of expense. Small consumers rarely , buy far ahead in normal times because rarely can they do so. A majority of domestic consumers, , a class whose -aggregate buying power is large, customarily fail to lay in next winter's coal before autumn. Another coal panic may result from, the exceptional hesitancy of consumers this spring, but the consumer, 'has grown so pessimistic about coal that he is in clined to look suspiciously upon any effort to dragoon him .to market.

H. H. CLAIBORNE. Mrs. Sheldon en Home life. Lincoln, Neb., April 17. To the Editor of The Bee: My attention has been called today to an article ap pearing in The ' Omaha' Bee last Thursday purporting to give a re port of my part on the program of the Second district convention in Omaha last Wednesday afternoon. My .astonishment is beyond - ex pression, for not only did I not say the things ascribed to me upon that occasion, but have never qald nor thought them upon any occasion. - My speech at the convention was confined wholly to a discussion of general federation policies, plans of work and details in regard to coun cil meeting in Salt Lake City, June 15-18, 1921. While attending' the convention last Wednesday a reporter for The 3ee, for whom I have a high regard based upon courteous and generous treatment through years of contact in' woman's interests, asked for an interview saying that it would be impossible for her to be present dur ing the latter part of the afternoon when I spoke. I gladly granted the Interview. ' T told her, that as gen eral federation officer for Nebraska, I',would talk "shop" in general fed eration interests. She then asked me if I am dis turbed by woman's interest in life outside the home. . I replied that I think that interest inevitable and desirable because, we are living in great transition period the import of which we do not fully realise. That present social conditions make it impossible for the family to live within its four walls as was onea possible when those four walls hadi around them a tract or grouna suf ficiently extensive to isolate it from other families before the daj-s of the telephone the free inail deliv ery the automobile. That we must hold fast the old ideals of tha home and must extend them to the com- munlt!-, making it, too, conform to those ideals, thus making the com munity as well as the home a good place for every nitan, woman ' and child to live in. I take it that the emphasis in her . article upon the community rather than upon both home and community was resultant upon the brevity of the' interview and the largeness of the subject. The child ot Scotch Presbyterian parents, glorying in the splendid benediction and inheritance of such a home, endeavoring through years of contact with humanity in class room, in home and in community life to perpetuate its ideals and standards, yields to no one in her emphasis of the power and beauty and absolute necessity of the ideal home. She honors and magnifies it to the extent of .desiring for the community as well as for the homa tne same standards and ideals and compelling and upholding influence upon all life which it touches.

Happy. Omaha, April 19. To the Editor of The Bee: Affer soma investiga tion regarding a diet, I belive my friend the "Food and Nature Spe cialist," deserves credit' for discredit ing us and our methods of feeding on poisons, ..Necessity nas. driven me to all sorts of researches, among volumes pertaining to health.- I've studied .McFadden's books, and Christian's Lessons on Scientific Food Preparation and Corrective Bating. I belong to the. RalBton Health club,' and have read of the recreative processes involved in .the health-building system of Sanford Bennett. - In spite of this my health has gone from bad- to worse, for while "reading maketh -a . full man,'.' it does, not guarantee health. My friend s letter was good and to the point, but I would go a little deeper than food. I will wager that worry and anxiety and fear and. poverty cause more nervous disorders and more maladies of serious kinds than over-refined and adulterated foods, Right- at the bottom of all ill health is the economic condition we exist under I won't say live because we aon i Know now to live yet. . say we exist in a miserable way un der conditions that force people to eat poisons and wreck themselves with over-work and fear and worry. Tha strain of our super-civilized pace (barbaric) evercomes the finest organisms and allows the coarsest to survive. Tha robust man or woman whotcan digest scrap-iron on a run is tha chief of the tribe and wears the crown. Our cheap restaurants are a tcsult of economic conditions. and no man can eat the habitual diet provided in them and survive at his best! But where else can the un married workingman go? I've tried batching, but half of the joy of eat ing comes from being at table in sociable company. Just as all roads lead to Rome, so can all ills be traced to our rotten economic con ditions. -CLARENCE SJOBLOM. OMAHAffl J tV t PRINTING '0 j -T I!

(Spe- Lcial. -Objections to the probate of an instrument purporting to dc tne last will of Joseph H.
