Solid South and the Tariff.
When the famous McKinley tariff bfll v.as
before the congress thirty-one years ago, its
principal opposition came from democrats of
the southern constituencies, who were devoted to
free trade. Concessions were then made on
minpr points, but when the Cleveland congress
took hold it framed the Wilson tariff measure,
which contained as many elements of the demo
cratic dogma as could safely be embodied in law
at that time. The complete failure of this tariff
was exemplified in the days that followed, and
it was only when McKinley had been elected
president and the Dingley bill was enacted that
prosperity returned to the United States. All
thi is history. ' '
The Payne-Aldrich tariff, passed under Taft's
administration, over the united opposition of the
democrats, gave the country the first attempt at
a tariff based on "scientific" principles. A
tariff commission had made-careful inquiry and
report and on its recommendations the law was
framed. Before that law had had a thorough' test
the democrats came into full control of the gov
ernment, and about the first thing that was done
was to abolish the tariff commission. The Un
derwood law, drawn and sponsored by a south
ern democrat, was expected to meet approval of
the representative cotton-growers, but it has not
shown the benefits promised for it. While Pres:
ident Wilson praised it as the best tariff law
ever enacted, he took occasion very soon after
it had been passed to recommend to congress
that some features of protection be provided by
amendments to the Underwood schedules. More
over, he secured the restoration of the tariff com
mission, an acknowledgement, if such were
needed,' that the course of the administration
had been a mistake.
Events of the war have, shown the southern'
planters and manufacturers their need for protec
tion. . For this they look to the present con
gress, and as President Harding lias pledged
himself to the doctrine, especially as applied to
the agricultural industry, the relief will be
granted. It is partly provided in the Fordney
bill, vetoed by Mr. Wilson, and now on its way
to re-enactment. -
The interest in this is that , the tariff is a
wedge that is splitting the "solid south." Demo
crats are for the first time in half a century sc
riousty divided as to the policy, and many of
the prominent men as well as the rank and file of
the party are openly espousing th republican
doctrine of protection. Thus, it is possible that
some republicans may be sent to congress from
south of the Mason and Dixon line, or the party
dominating in that section for so many years
will have to shift its position a.nd abandon one
of its landmarks.

Justice in the Postoffice Department.
When Postmaster General Hays announced
his intention of humanizing the service in his de
partment, the country was prepared for some
radical departures f rorfi the Burleson methods.
One of these departures takes the form of art
order just promulgated by Dr. Hubert "Work,
first assistant postmaster general, which will per
mit tlie restoration to the service of a large
number of employes who were forced out under,
the late democratic administration.
Congress passed a civil service retirement law
over the strenuous and unreasoning opposition
of Mr. Burleson, w ho at once set about to make
it as unpopular as possible by rigidly enforcing
it to the detriment .of the service in the depart
ment he presided over. All employes who had
reached the age limit were arbitrarily compelled
to retire, regardless of fitness or position. This
summary dismissal of thousands of capable men
had the effect of further disorganizing the already
sadly demoralized postoffice. Now it is pro
posed that those who are physically fit may be.
restored to their former positions at the old pay.
It is not intended to create any new jobs, but
wherever the employe can show his' fitness he
will be relieved of the injustice done him.
Mr. Hay does not mean to retard promotion
in the service by retaining superannuates on the
active list, but he realizes that it is unfair to the
public and to the employes is well, to , compel
a man to withdraw just lecause he has attained
the minimum age at which retirement is per
mitted. In the future physical and mental qual
ifications will be taken into account as well as
birthdays, and .the capable man will go on at
his work, doing what he has been trained to do,
and helping to make the postoffice what it ought
to be, an agency of great public usefulness.
The Demise of "Grandmother.
The crack of the bat is heard ia the land.
White uniforms glittering against the green of

season.
In many respects the sew team is a promis

the fans of Omaha, so it will develop. Enthusi
asm and good sportsmanship are things that

What Omaha Really Wants.
Time-worn methods of campaigning are in
evidence in connection with the city contest, and
many attempts are being made to muddy the
waters so that the voters will lose a clear view
of the issues involved. This is too bad, for the
nonpartisan plan of selecting the city's commis
sioners contemplates calm approach by the elec
torate, with a clear knowledge of what is at stake
and a conscientious determination to vote for the
men who will give the better service.
The Bee does not believe that the election
of one, set of men means that the city will be
come chemically pure from a moral standpoint,
or that if the other group should win that the
community will at once be turned oyer to the
elements of lawlessness and that vice will stalk
rampant along the streets at noontide. What
The Bee docs believe is that the laws and ordi
nances should be steadfastly and impartially en
forced; that all departments of the city adminis
tration demand careful attention, and that good
government reqnires that each be efficiently
looked after. '
Dean Ringer, present superintendent of po
lice, is the target for a concentrated fire. He
took over the "trouble" job three years ago, and
has had plenty of trouble since. In this he is
but duplicating the experience of John J. Ryder
and Albert Kugel, who had preceded him in the
place. Whoever takes that position is sure to
meet both undeserved criticism and undeserved
praise. The man who can courageously hold to
a clear policy through the storm, honestly try
ing to discharge his duty, and to give people
protection, deserves something more than indis
criminate blame because all are not pleased with
his efforts. Dean Ringer has guided the Omaha
police force through the most strenuous years
of its history, and in a large measure he has
done it well. His re-election does not mean
that crime will cease, nor that a reign of blue-
law terror will ensue. It will be the endorse
ment by sober-minded people of the honest en
deavor of a faithful official to properly serve the
public in discharge of the onerous duties of a
trying position.
Omaha will not become an 'air-tight nor a
"wide-open" town, no matter who is made
superintendent of police. Our citizens do want
law and order, and the maintenance of decency
at all times- and under all circumstances. Let
this be squarely considered, and answered
squarely by, the voters.
Public vs. Private Right
Effect of Decision of Supreme
Court in the High Rent Cases
Forty Acres for a Flyer.
Poland has evidently heard an echo of, the
slogan that rang through the United States in
'65. "Forty acres and a mule," was on the lips
of all the boys who were coming out of Grant's
armr, and many of them realized the ambition,
only they got considerably more than forty acres.
Poland, however, has not the vast area to be oc
cupied by pioneer farmers that was at the dis
posal of Uncle Sam. Consequently, ,thc best
the Poles can do is to allot forty acres to those
it wishes to favor. Among these are the Ameri
can members of the flying corps, nine of whom
have just been, apprised of the fact that the gov
ernment has awarded to each forty acres on "the,
Russian border. These have a year to complete,
their occupancy of the land. We doubt very
much if the offer will attract many of them.
They flew for Poland because they loved the ad
venture;' they are not of the type that is apt to
retire to the quietness of the farm while the
world holds other opportunities for excitement.
It is youth, the virile, energetic, quality of young
manhood that led them into the quest now over
and that same urge will push them on. One
likes to think of the patient, plodding man who
does the workaday business of the world, who
keeps things going, but the eye will always turn
from him to rest for an envious moment on the ad
venturer, and so these youngsters will probably
forego the future of life as landed proprietors, in,
order to seek further opportunities to meet their
rendezvous with death. Many attempts have,
been made to' domesticate the eagle, but none
have ever succeeded.
Pocket Money for Farm Children.
How to earn money during vacation is a prob
lem soon to come up before many boys and
girls, and especially difficult for those living out
side the city. In the east roadside marketing of
put flowers furnishes pleasure and profit for
many country school children. A few packets
of seeds, some bulbs and roots will in a few
months produce masses of color and fragrance
to appeal to passing motorists, many of whom
might be glad to purchase a bouquet as
they pass by.
Fruit and vegetable stands have ,rnade their
appearance along many main highways, afford
ing another opportunity for -country children to
obtain money with which to' buy the things dear
to their heart. Automobile parties frequently
are rejoiced to find so convenient a way to obtain-fresh
produce, and in some regions farmers
have united together to establish complete rural
markets.
Farm children do not Tiave to come to the
city to seek their fortune. If vegetable garden
ing seems to lack attraction,, beds of snap
dragons, marigolds, asters, bachelor buttons,
cosmos, chrysanthemums, sweetpeas, zinnias, ver
benas, petunias and sweet alyssum offer possi
bilities of beauty, and these old-fashioned flow
ers, made up into bouquets, ought to attract
many passersby.
A bulwark against contamination is found in
the moving picture censorship board of Penn
sylvania which has issued the following order:
"Eliminate view of man thumbing his nose at
lion." But perhaps this is only out of the de
sire to discourage cruelty to animals.1
The new indecency, as exposed in an eleva
tor conversation: "Kid, I wouldn't think of ap
pearing on the street looking as she does. Why,
her ears are exposed, and everything."
What a sigh dt relief the world will give
when conditions no longer are merely hopeful,
and neither optimism nor pessimism can question
the state of prosperity.
Eves the dogs have taken notice of the styles,
and a judge has decided that women who wear
short skirts can not complain if they are nipped.
' If Great Britain gets all the oil it is reaching
for, it will not have to worry whether them
miners strike or not.
The main business of statesmanship these
days seems to be to stave off the inevitable..
(From the Boston Transcript.)
The decision of the supreme court in the cases
of the act of congress applying to real estate in
the District of Columbia, and the New York
housing laws, will be marked "epochal" in Amer
ican judicial history. The decision, which is one
of the five-totfour order, reflecting the difficult
and crucial character of the question considered,
marks the point of recession of the power of the
doctrine of due process of law asserted m the
fourteenth amendment as a defensive agency for
the rights of property. The majority decision,
written by Justice Holmes and concurred in by
Justices Day. Pinney, Brandeis and Clarke, sim
ply asserts the right and power of the national
and state legislative authority to put the public
right above the private right in case of an emer
gency. In the case of the District of Columbia
act, the majority decision assumes that congress
has the power, in the public interest, of regulat
ing the conditions of renting buildings in the
District. In the New York case, the question is
essentially the same, with the power residing in
the legislature of the state. The decision points
out that police powers similar to those here in
volved have heretofore been maintained without
successful opposition, for example in the limita
tion of the height of buildings and in the main
tenance of watersheds. The principle upon which
the majority decision rests is the simple one of
the superiority of the public to the private right.
The minority opinion, on the contrary, bases
itself upon the letter of the national constitution,
which in the fifth and fourteenth amendments
provides that no person's property shall be taken
from him without due process of law. The opin
ion, written by Justice McKenna, and concurred
in by Chief Justice White and Justices Van De
vanter and McReynolds, is vigorous and earnest
in every line. It declares that if the power of
congress and the New York legislature as exer
cised in the legislation involved is superior to
the tourteenth amendment, it is superior to
every other limitation upon every power ex
pressed in the constitution of the United States,"
and that the majority decision "commits rights
of property to a state's unrestrained conception
of them." In other words, it supplants the con
stitution of the United States. This is certainly
a very strong statement. The minority opinion
minces no words. Assuming that the power ex
ercised by the New York law has grown out of
the war (the law was passed in 1920) Justice
McKenna says: "We have come to the realiza
tion of the observation that 'war unless it be
fought for liberty is the most deadly enemy of
liberty.' " And he concludes with the admonition
that "it is safer, saner and more consonant with
constitutional pre-eminence and its purposes to
regard the declaration of the constitution as para
mount and not to weaken it by refined dialectics,
or bind it to some impulse or emergency be
cause of some accident of immediate over
whelming interest which appeals to the feelings
and distorts judgments.".
In spite of the deep concern and evident
earnestness with which the learned and patriotic
justices of the majority view the judgment of
their associates, it is to be said that the principle
maintained by the majority is by no means newly
asserted. It is really as old as the common' law.
In the famous Slaughter House decision (1872),
the supreme court distinctly ruled that the pur
pose of the fourteenth amendment was not to
deprive the state's of their police power, and that
upon this power "depends the security of the
social order, the life and health of the citizen,
the comfort of existence in a thickly populated
community, the employment of private and social
life, and the beneficial use of oroperty." In the
case of Camfield against the United States, the
court declared that the police power "extends
to all the great public needs," and in the case of
Nobe State Bank against Haskell, the court de
clared that the police power "may be put forth
in aid of what is sanctioned by usage, or held by
the prevailing morality or strong and prepon
derant opinion to be greatly and immediately
necessary-in the public welfare." In the .case of
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railway com
pany against McGuire, Jusicft Hughes laid down
this broad principle: "Liberty implies the ab
sence of arbitrary restraint, not immunity from
reasonable regulations and prohibitions in the
interest of the community."
In spite of the familiarity of the general prin
ciple as thus stated, it is nevertheless evident that
the decision in these cases does mark a departure
from the recent tendency of the supreme court
to uphold the letter of the fourteenth amendment
as affecting the right of property, and that it in
troduces a new principle in. the relation of land
lord, and tenant. And though the two acts now
fully. validated are to be-in effect only until No-,
vember 1, 1922, the general principle asserted
will at least have a continuing application.

HAZARDS OF MOTHERHOOD
Becoming a mother is a rather
hazardous business. In the 1918
census office report it is stated that
motherhood was the cause of the
deaths of 17,471 women in the reg
istration area in that year. One
out of 82 deaths was that of
a mother who gaver her life in her
effort to discharge her duty to so
ciety.
Seventeen thousand four hundred
and seventy-ono may not seem a
large number when we think of the
75,000,000 people living in the reg
istration area, but when we remem
ber that the figures only apply to
married women of child bearing age,
the group seems to be smaller and
therefore the average hazard Is
greater. But not every married
woman of child-bearing age had a
baby every year. One group is still
too large.
An investigation made by the
Metropolitan life Insurance com
pany showed there Was one death of
a mother for every 185 confinements.
In other words in a group of 18
women shortly to be confined, it
could be expected that one would
fail to survive. The hazard begins
to look larger. If 185 men contem
plating a trip to Panama were told
that according to the prevailing
average one of the group vould die
on the trip, some of the crowd would
elect to stay at home.
To state the case or the danger
in another way: According to the
prevailing average the mother who
hopes to bear six children may ex
pect to lose her life in childbirth be
fore she has contributed her ex
pected addition to the population. If
little more than five children Is
They May Again Favor War
' . With the pious aspiration for the ending "of
all war and the disarmament of all nations that
was expressed by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt at
the meeting of the National League of Women
Voters there will be, of course, general agree
ment. It is the same, too, as regards the reso
lutions appealing to President Harding for action
or the exertion of his official influence along
these lines, which the eloquence of Mrs. Catt
moved the delegates to adopt with enthusiasm
and unanimity.
At least a few of the delegates to , the con
vention must have realized, however, on second
thought if any of them took it that both the
speech and the resolutions ignored the possi
bility that again, some time in the future, as in
1917, conditions may exist that will make war,
even in their estimation, preferable to peace at
the cost demanded for it. .
Not a little reluctance for admitting that
preference was shown by Mrs. Catt and most of
the other leaders in the suffrage movement, as
they were then, but almost all of them did it in
spite of their decided leanings toward pacifism,
and their effective part toward winning the war
was admirably done. Why do they forget this
now and speak as if war and participation in war
were always wrong? " ' -
They would not be made "militarists" a
breed that does not exist out of Germany by
adjusting their opinions to the world as it is,
instead of to the world as they and everybody
else think it ought to be. Even they perceive
that disarmament must result from international
agreements, and that no country could act alone

a
about the average number a woman
can bear without forfeiting her life,
is it any wonder that some reckless
women set the limit at five, more
cautious ones at four, the timid at
three, and the very timid refuse to
take any chance?
Of course, the danger was worse
in the "good old days." Two weeks
ago I visited an old time cemetery
largely filled with graves made 50
to 100 years ago. The tombstones
showed that the parents of 80 years
ago had large families, rarejy less
than five to 10 children. But the
grave record also showed that the
custom was paid for by the women.
Nearly every one of the old Abra
hams had two wives and many had
several. Building up these large
families used up two or . three
women.
Women now have their rights and
they -demand that the vocation of
motherhood be made safe. Just as
men have demanded that certain
vocations of theirs be made safe. The
same report of the. Metropolitan
shows that when good prenatal care
and maternity care is given the death
rate of mothers has been reduced 60
per cent. There are only two deaths
for each 1.000 confinements instead
of five, the prevailing rate where
such care is not given. Instead of
an average expectancy of five babies
without losing her life a mother can
figure on 12 and still be safe, accord
ing to the prevailing rate.. That's
more like it.

"Don't Break the Chain!"
Omaha. April 22. To the Editor
of The Bee: I wish as an old sub
scriber to consult, you, on a delicate
personal subject. I am in ; great
trouble and anguish of mind.. For
three nights I have had a horrible
nightmare, and on each occasion the
nightmare has been the same. I see
Farnam street in front of the World
Herald building. A huge canvas
banner is stretched across the street
from the Herald building to the
building opposite. On this banner
is inscribed in great red letters:
: THE UNITED SEVEN :
:DON'T BREAK THE CHAIN!:
- In the middle of the street I see
Tom Dennison clad as a prison
warden, looking very fierce, with a
prison whip in one fist and a gun
in the other. This eminent citizen
is marching seven men up and down
Farnam street. These men have
their heads shaved and are clad in
prison stripes; each man has his
hands on the shoulders of the man
ahead of him, and they are lock
stepping up and down Farnam
street, while old Tom looks grimly
on and cracks his whip. In the chain
gang I recognize several familiar
faces Jim, Dan, Hank, Joe, Zimmie
and Cootie. These poor gentlemen
are-sweating large drops, but they
gaze sideways at grim pld Tom and
his whip and his gun, and they go
on doing the lock -step up and down
in front of the Herald building. The
windows of the. Herald building are
crowded with faces.. Every now and
then the crowd in the Herald win
dows raise a great shout: "The
United Seven! Don't Break the
Chain!"
For three nights this dream has
tortured me. It is horrible. I cannot
stand the mental strain much longer.'
Would you advise me to consult a
physician,; or should I go to see Mr.
Dennison and ask him if he really
has a whip and whether he really
iieeps his seven candidates chained

In considering the building
of a home, one encounters the
somewhat disturbing fact that
cash in hand is an unavoid
able requisite.
The first step toward own
ing a home is the accumula
tion of money for a down
payment. . Now is none too soon for
the prospective home owner
to begin a systematic plan of
saving.
Weekly or monthly invest
ment in Home Builders' 6
Preferred Shares is as quick a
way as can be discovered to
accumulate a home-building
fund.
