Speed Up the Relief Wheels.
President Harding again has urged that con
gress hasten its progress in the enactment of
legislation needed for the relief of the disabled
veterans of the World War. Representative
Sweet of Iowa, author of a bill that has been
approved by the house, says the need for the
final passage of the law is imperative. But the
senate moves slowly. Senator Smoot of Utah,
chairman of the subcommittee to which the
measure has been referred, says he is not certain
, if the Sweet bill is the remedy needed, and also
says- he has doubt if the members of his commit
tee can be gotten together to consider the matter,
" Four years ago little difficulty was experi
enced in getting together a subcommittee or any
other group whose action was needed to get the
present disabled veterans off to war. The dis
play of similar interest just now would at least
encourage some of the sufferers to think that
perhaps we did mean the things we said to them
when they marched away. It is true that most
of the existing trouble has come from hasty and
poorly devised attempts to make provisions for
"the relief of those who have a right to expect
help from the government. But that is only an
excuse and not a reason for the exasperating
delay.
Experience has pointed out the defects of the
existing machinery, and these may easily be re
moved or adjusted, if only given the needed at
tention. Senator Smoot will lose little in dignity
or popularity if he assembled his subcommittee
In emergency session to give the Sweet bill such
examination as it deserves before enactment. A
steadily growing list of victims of the war de
mands immediate relief.
Hitchcock's Monumental Mistake.
The proposal of Senator Gilbert M. Hitch
cock for an international bank financed largely
by American gold to provide credit to Europe,
ana issue a world currency is important because
of its dangerous nature. Stripped of its veil of
idealism, it appears as nothing more nor less
than a scheme to give fictitious value to the
bonds of impoverished European nations by
making them a basis of further extensions of
credit at the expense of Americans.
Fiat currency is not a cure for the exhsus
tion of international credit of which the Nebras-
kan speaks. It is true that the world can not be
prosperous without peace, economic, political and
military, but the basis of this peace and prosper
ity must be work, not inflation.
The acute condition of public finance, cur-re-?
and exchange, international trade and cred
its was the subject of an international financial
conference held in BrusseU last fall, which was
participated in by financial experts of the lead
ing countries of the world. Its findings arc to
be credited as unbiased, representing no special
interest and viewing the world as a whole. Its
conclusions bear directly on the matters brought
u by Senator Hitchcock and that its recom
mendations on the main point were precisely in
opposition to his scheme is proved by the fol
lowing excerpt from its report:
We believe that neither an international
currency nor an international unit cf account
would serve any useful purpose or remove any
of the difficulties from which international ex
change suffers today.
"Attempts to limit fluctuations in exchange
by imposing artificial control on exchange oner-
ations are futile and mischievous," this interna
tional conference of experts further declared.
"Insofar as they are effective they falsify the
market, tend to remove natural correctives to
such fluctuations and interfere with free dealings
in forward exchange which are so necessary to
enable traders to eliminate from their calcula
tions a margin to cover risk of exchange, which
wouia ornerwise contribute to the rise in prices."

Authors' Eccentricities
From the Argonaut
Bret Harte, when the inspiration was on him,
would hire a cab and drive through the darkness
without stopping until the struggle for ideas was
over and he grew calm enough to write. Noth
ing pleased him more than to be taken for an
Englishman.
Bjornson kept his pockets full of the seeds of
trees, scattering handfuls broacast in his daily
walks. He even tried to persuade his associates
to do the same.
Robert Browning could not sit still. The con
stant shuffling of his feet wore holes in the
carpet.
Zola would never accept an invitation to din
ner. Sir A. Conan Doyle, even in the coldest
weather, never wears an overcoat. When he
gives an afternoon lecture he removes his vest,
and buttons his Prince Albert close to his body.
He is a golf enthusiast and spends as much time
as possible on the links.
F. Marion Crawford carried his own station
ery, pen and ink, and never wrote with any other.
He wrote every word of every novel with the
same penholder.

MILK POWDERED BABIES.
The advantages in feeding milk

Case of the Street Railroad.
Neither the State Railway commission nor
the public at large should misunderstand the
status of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street
""JtSJiway company pleading for increased fares
The company's campaign has two distinct
phases. In one proceeding the company is try
ing to prove that its property is worth approxi
mately $20,000,000 and that it is entitled to divi
dends upon this value. In the other it is claitn-
jnf that an emergency exists, that it is in dire
straits and that it must have immediate increased
,. revenue to maintain its, solvency and continue
v" operation.
"The first proceeding is an effort to fix a
basis for future regulation and permanent fares.
The second is a plea for quick relief such at waa
granted the Northwestern Bell Telephone Co.
. aeveral months ago and which that company is
now trying to have made permanent
The immediate question is the emergency re
lief and that is likely to be settled within a very
few weeks. It is a matter to which very serious
x attention should be paid. Omaha cannot afford
to have its street railway company suspend op
erations; with just as much force, it cannot afford
to have the people taxed a larger amount than is
necessary for transportation at a time when
dimes count in the average man's pocketbook as
quarters did a short time ago.
The company's statement for 1920 showed
net income of $168,413. It paid a dividend of
ti per cent on preferred stock, amounting to
$2$0,000. This created a deficit of $81,586, which
waa paid out of a surplus carried over from pre
ceding years. It is noteworthy that this dividend
it higher than the 5 per cent rate of 1919 or the
2H per cent rate of 1918. Despite the fact that
the company did not earn even a S per cent divi
dend, it raised the rate and drew on surplus to
make it good. If its stockholders had been con
tent with the former 5 per cent rate, the com
pany would have just $50,000 more on hand to
meet the present alleged emergency.
r 'As The Bee has said before, other industries
today are going without profits and counting
themselves lucky if they can keep their heads
above water. Some are 'drawing on surpluses of
past years and thanking their stars they have
lueh a fund at hand. The state railway com
mission should judge the street railway case in
the light of this general situation and should
take care that it does not add to the people's
burdens unless the extremely critical nature of
the emergency is fully demonstrated.
Uncle Sam, Brewery Owner.
" On the same day that a senator from Louisi
ana attacked the bill prohibiting the supplying
of beer on prescription the government seized
six breweries in New Orleans on the charge of
making and selling beer which exceeded the
legal alcoholic content. Buildings, lands, fix
tures, trucks and all the other property of these
concerns are now public property, adding sev
eral million dollars to the public wealth.
Citizens who have thus been made stock
holders in the brewing industry will not wax
highly indignant over the execution of the law
under which this confiscation is made. A few
more such acts and the illicit manufacture of
beer on a large scale will cease. No activity
it long continued which is not profitable.
More complaint of the prohibitory law is
heard on the score of lax enforcement than on
the severity of it As long as there are statutes
against the trade in alcohol they should be enforced.
Is this new movie war over the question of
lower prices or merely a contest to see who will
et the biggest share of the receipts?
There are in the proposal of Senator Hitch
cock several expressions of oraiseworthv ideal-

nations, sucn as limitation of armament, re
""f" ol production and government
economy by which national outgo would be
limited to income. His provision that one-third
Of the $2,400,000,000 Capital of the international
bank might be composed of bonds of tolvent na
tions is rendered ridiculous by his definition of
solvency, which includes requirements of meet
ing all external obligations, a balance of revenue
ana expenditure, and decrease in armament. Un
icss a oare promise ot performance in these
respects were accepted at face value (as in the
case of their bonds), there would be no nation
eligible.
The public may remember that ever since the
secret conferences in Peri from which the
League of Nations covenant ernerged there has
Deen a desire on the part of some of our asso
ciates in the world war to pro-rate the total cost
ot tne war and load the United States with part
of the expense of the conflict which was in
curred before our entry. In one way and an
other there has been a constant effort to shift
the burdens of Europe to the shoulders of Uncle
Sam. In this foreign interests have been aided
by the international banking houses of New York,
which provided the practical and far from senti.
mental backing of ratification of the covenant,
largely it is to be suspected, in order to improve
tne impaired condition of their investments in
toreign securities.
The coincidence of the views of Nebraska's
democratic senator and these international finan
cial institutions has long been evident. First, in
tne case ot the league covenant, second in the
opposition to the tariff act protectine apricul-
tural products (a measure designed to benefit
the middle west, and fought bitterly by the in
ternational syndicates), and 'third, in this com
prehensive scheme for securing the 6. K. of the
United States treasury on foreign securities.
What js to be remembered it that, with half
the worlds gold now in our country, we are a
natural target for blue sky projects aimed to re
distribute it, not in return for labor and pro
duction, but for nothing. If this war debt is
saddled on the American people it means not
only a reduced standard of living in our country,
but a mortgage on the income of every citizen.
Ministers Muffed Their Chance.
The belated and somewhat hysterical activ
ity of the Jersey City ministers in their opposi
tion to the big prize fight about to be staged
there is not especially edifying. Preparations
for that contest have been under headway for
many days. Principals have been training three
months, while the building operations in connec
tion with the affair have been open and notori
ous. Excepting possibly America's entrance to
the world war and the late presidential election,
nothing has been more widely advertised or gen
erally discussed in this country than the match
between Denipsey and Carpentier. Yet the forces
of reform have waited until the eleventh hoi
and almost the fifty-ninth minute to interpose. .
The prize fight is not the less disgraceful In
prospect at this time than it was when first an
nounced as forthcoming at Jersey City. If it
deserves to be stopped now, it deserved to be
stopped then. Perhaps it might have been headed
off if the same forces now arrayed against it had
marshalled their forces back in A iril or in May
and moved forward in a comhiKU assault. To
have remained more or less passive, permitting
the affair to almost reach a culmination before
vigorously protesting, is not creditable to the
ministers.
They may not be able to prevent this exhi
bition, but if they arc sincere, they can so or
ganize and co-ordinate their efforts as to make
another impossible. If they do pot, the fact may be
accepted as indicating that the power of the
church is less than that of Mammon, for it is
greed and not the cause of sound physical de
velopment that is being served in the arena at
Jersey City.

Rural Registration.
Sutton, Neb., June 26. To the
Editor of The Bee: Within three
weeks referendum petitions must be
signed with the secretary of state to
preserve the freedom of the ballot,
If this is not done, fully half of the
rural voters will be disfranchised.
Senate File No. 305 compels rural
votera to register with the county
cierK or witn a deputy whom he may
or may not appoint. Votera must
swear to their political affiliations or
tney can not vote at the Drimarv.
The registering officers are author

The nomination of candidates for
office Is of the utmost importance,
but the independent voter has no
choice in their selection. Fully half

and being worldly, Christ positively
said, "The laborer la worthy of his
hire," meaning the gospel preach
ers, saying also not to take even
an extra coat, nor money In their
purse, out tnat they would be pro
vlded for. St. Paul Instructed that

mere work more heroic more
praiseworthy, more commendable
than preaching the gospel? Let ua

Your guarantee of engine
power and engine protection
Lubricating oil has a double duty. It must maintain
a fuel-tight and gas-tight seal between the piston rings
and the cylinder walls otherwise fuel and the explo
sive gases are not completely converted into useful
power. Fuel is wasted and you get less power.
It must'maintain a smooth, cushioning film in all bearings and
between all engaging parts otherwise bearings burn out,
parts Wear loose, vibration becomes excessive, breakage and
expensive repairs and replacements become necessary.

and most experienced manufacturer of oils for all purposes.

of temperature and operating conditions. It ia your best and
safest guarantee of both engine power and engine protection.
