Peace and the Future.
With the signing of the joint resolution de
claring the state of war between the United
States and the Central Powers of Europe at an
end, control of the situation passes from con
gress to the president. Under the constitution
the executive is in charge of the foreign relations
of our government, and, while the senate has the
veto power over any treaty, it has not even ad
visory capacity so far as negotiations are con
cerned. Therefore, any dealings that are es
sential to the final establishment of peace with
our late enemies must rest with Mr. Harding.
This will include the policy of retaining troops
on the Rhine.
Fortunately, Mr. Harding has a secretary of
state who commands, as does his cbicf, the con
fidence of the people. That we may again be
treated to such exhibitions as Mr. Wilson af
forded in his State department difficulties is not
probable. On the other hand, the German gov
ernment will find itself confronted with a firm
insistence on what is right and just. Such tem
porizing as marked the diplomacy under the first
five years of Wilson will hardly be repeated.
Very explicit terms have been laid down by the
United States for the renewal of peaceful inter
' course with Germany, and in working out the
details of these Mr. Harding and Mr. Hughes
may be expected to completely protect the in
terests of their country and its people.
What the immediate effect will be on affairs
at home of the formal ending of the state of
war is not certain. Inasmuch as we have been,
proceeding for many months on a constructive
peace basis, the change now to be noted will
probably be slight indeed. Yet it is noteworthy,
because it will put international dealings on a
definite footing. Being no longer technically at
war, such restrictions as might have lingered be-
Scsuse of ds uncertainties incident to transactions
that coti l not be completed under the circum
stances -vill disappear. -Trade will be open under
the regulations of legitimate commerce, and with
. the renewal of unlimited communication, ought
to come to a better status of foreign trade gen
erally. Germany will also be the gainer, because the
change will put its trade on a definite footing.
Settlement of war claims will speedily follow,
and the ultimate obligations to America, growing
out of the war will be known. At present the
government has a direct claim for more than a
quarter of a billion, for which reparation bonds
will probably be accepted. Private claims are
to be adjusted, but' this operation is now pos
sible, and within reasonable time the-actual es
tablishment of peace should be an accomplished
fact.
Conferences at Dublin.
' Speculation as to the next move in Ireland
is! not likely to give comfort to any who are not
habitually content with guesswork, yet the con
ferences at Dublin between the leaders of South
Ireland is of such moment that impatience to
know its outcome may be pardoned. De Valera
in his letter to Craig said the Irish question
must be settled on Irish soil. This is correct,
and it must be settled on a basis that will be
satisfactory to the Irish. The final settlement
will come in London, when the conference asked
by Lloyd George has brought the north and
' south o( Ireland 'together. What concessions
and compromises will be made are beyond knowl
edge, but earnest leaders are seeking for the so
lution, and will probably reach a basis on which
the Irish may stand together. It is not likely
this will 'meet the approval of extremists on
either side, for there must be some yielding by
both, else the riot of waste and destruction will
continue to distract the country. The consulta
tions now in progress at Dublin will very likely
result in the formulation of a schedule that will
contain both the maximum and minimum of de
mands, to be presented at London for matching
with the Ulster plan, and with the two harmon
iied a new era will open for Ireland. What all
would like to see is peace restored and activity
resumed to the end that the Irish may be pros
perous and content in their own land.
No Stampede on the Paving Proposition.
' Omaha has many times survived rains as
heavy as that which fell on Sunday night The
city's sewer system is calculated to deal with
torrents, although under conditions of deluge
that amount to almost cloudbursts the run-off
is too heavy to be immediately cared for, but
danger of great damage is slight. Therefore, the
storm should not be made a pretext to stampede
the city council into hasty action on the paving
questions. Property owners east of Twenty
fourth and south of Leavenworth have some basis
. for their complaint, as they have tried for years
to get the needed improvements in their district,
and so are justified in their demands for con
sideration. '
; Th big question before the city council, how
ever, has to do with the paving of Dodge street
and other projects, bids for which will be finally
considered at the meeting next Tuesday. These
are calculated on the basis of material prices
v prevailing some time ago, and if they were fig
ured today it is estimated that a saving of at
k )f-i ZS ce&t. p ard would, fef Misible, fiC
this reason it is urged that the bids be rejected
and new tenders asked.
Cement is cheaper, labor is cheaper, and other
material reeded .for the job can be bought at
prices much below the rate prevailing at the
time the tending proffers were made. Common
sense ought to control here. If it is possible to
save a considerable sum of money on the work
by delaying the job a few days, then the delay is
warranted. Dodge street will not be in commis
sion again any the sooner if the paving contracts
are let at a rate so high as to constitute ex
travagance. '
The city council has here its first real chance
to redeem promises made to the voters. As it
proceeds in this case it will be judged.
Farm Tenancy Spread Checked.
Inasmuch as in France and Germany more
than 75 per cent of the farmers own the land
they till, there is no reason for national vain
glory over the census report showing that only
62.3 per cent of American farms are operated by
their owners. In the last 10 years, while opera
tion by owners fell only 23,000, the number of
tenant farmers increased 91,000. Owing tp the
fact that somewhere near 100,000 new farms
have been opened up in this period, the percent
age of farm tenancy, however, has remained al
most stationary. '
Although tenancy is sometimes defended as
a step toward land ownership, no thinking citi
zen would wish to see absentee farming increase.
The factor of tenancy is one which has played
its part in the rise and fall of many nations, and
it is held to be indubitable that those countries
in which possession of the land is spread among
the people rather than held by a comparatively
few great landlords are on the sounder basis. If
the tendency toward a system of agricultural
tenancy is slowing down, America can congrat
ulate itself, giving large credit to the federal farm
loan system as well as to the flush years of the
war. Statistics on mortgages are yet necessary
to complete estimate of the condition of the
American farmer.
Since 1880, tenancy has increased 12 per cent,
as is shown by the following table:
Bate Per Cent Tenants
1880 .25.6
1890 .28.4
1900 .35.3
1910 e - - e-e - a- a- a 37.00
1920 37.69 . .
The decline in the percentage of landowning
farmers, which has now paused, did not imply
that farmers who once held the titles lost them
and became renters, but rather that a longer
time is required to acquire the money with which
to buy a place. That each succeeding generation
of farmers has had to remain longer in the ten
ant class is shown by statistics of former cen
suses. In 1900 it was found that nearly three
fourths of the farmers of the United States un
der 25 years of age were renters, while only one
fifth of those 55 years of age or more were ten
ants. Young men now as then start in with little
capital, and by inheritance or savings from their
profits, 'gradually acquire ownership. It will be
interesting to read the statistics on this point for
more recent years.
To enable young men to become possessors
of the soil they till and to reduce the number of
veteran farmers who never achieve ownership is
worthy ambition for the government That
much yet remains to be done is evidenced by re
ports of the assessor's office in Hamilton county,
Nebraska, where, of the 1,600 farms, 822 re
farmed by tenants and only 786 by their owners.
A Drive on Interest Rates.
It is hazardous business for one not 'familiar
with the inner workings of the nation's financial
system to attempt to outline a change in policy,
the full effect of which he is not competent to
trace down. So it has happened that many who
have felt that the process of liquidation has gone
too fast or too far have remained silent through
the desire not to embarrass the delicate adjust
ment However, within the last week two sen
ators, King of Utah and Smith of South Caro
lina, have brought the subject up in the senate
chamber. It is further announced that a resolu
tion advising the federal reserve board to re-'
duce its present rate, which runs 6 per cent or
over, to 5 per cent, will be introduced in the
senate.
Senator Smith declares that there is lying in
the vaults of the federal reserve banks a billion
dollars in gold which is not used, but withheld
from the use of farmers and business men. The
actual figures show that total reserves are some
thing more than $970,000,000 in excess of the
legal requirement, which is set at 40 per cent of
total deposits and federal reserve note liability.
The ratio of reserves to these liabilities stood at
60.8 per cent at the close of business June 29.
This is a gain of 20 per cent over a year ago, and
of four-tenths per cent over the previous week.
A year ago the reserves were very close to
the minimum, which is to say inflation had gone
as far as was possible and farther than advis
able. Now deflation and the flood of gold from
overseas have produced a 20 per cent surplus,
amounting to $970,000,000. With this as a basis,
credit could legally be expanded 2A times, which
would give an additional lending power of more
than $2,400,000,000.
Sudden inflation might be dangerous, but too
great deflation might be equally so. While no
one will be found to urge that the full possibili
ties of credit expansion be utilized now, there
are many who feel that a halt ought to be called
on high interest rates and tight credit Senator
Heflin, who has joined the discussion, charges
the federal reserve board with responsibility for
forcing farmers and business men into bank
ruptcy when sufficient funds( were available to
save them. A lowering of interest rates, accom
panied by the same careful scrutiny of loans as is
now given to prevent injudicious inflation, it
seems to these senators and to many citizens,
would remove one of the burdens of depression,
lower the cost of carrying on business, and serve
to liven up trade.
Depression's Peak Is Passed
Business on Up Turn Now, Is
Opinion Held by the Experts.
Among those missing from the championship
fight was a prominent eastern senator who feared
his interest in pugilism would be used against
him in the coming election. But if he has no
other qualification other than the concealment of
his love of a scrap, he does not deserve re-election.
Or do the people wish hypocrites to repre
sent them?

UWffiHLt the curse, fif ea0ftm
(From the New York Commercial) .
Outstanding in the present business situation,
as the quiet summer season begins, is a dominant
note of confidence, such as has not been heard
during the last two years. Bankers in widely
separated districts are announcing that the gen
eral banking condition throughout the land ex
hibits a promising strength and that, by and
large, credit conditions are sound and firm. Man
ufacturers and merchants in many lines are re
peating the same note, setting forth in statements
before conventions and to the public their con
victions that the post-war readjustments in costs
have been accomplished and that a stable basis
has been reached upon which it is safe to plan
ahead. This widely indulged new tone is an
encouraging sign that the reconstruction crisis is
now a matter of past history.
Confidence that business is headed out of
depression is gathering weight among the na
trons business leaders and the characteristic
vigor of tone of American enterprise is now
being heard frequently. Such appears in strong
statements from representative business men, in
more encouraging reports from different parts
ot the country and m wide-spread and varied en
deavors to infuse this new optimism into the rank
and file.
There is a growing assurance today that a
new era of general prosperity and effective
American leadership is in the dawning and much
effort is being made to inspire the countrv to
hasten this era by confident attack on the part
or an upon immediate difficulties and by a
strengthening team work.
President Harding's notification to business
leaders from all parts of the country that the
government intends to give a free hand to honest
enterprise to meet and solve the difficulties now
confronting it and his direct summons to them
to get themselves and the country into a "full
speed ahead" attitude of mind has stirred a wide
and active mobilization of the best energies of
tne land tor the task of reconstructing the coun
try's economic morale for the ourooses of restor
ing general well being and of firmly repossessing
America or me advantages oi her new leadership.
The president's summons put a new punch into
individual leadership, which, gathering momen
tum, bears promise of a "follow through."
"Defeatism," whether in war or" in business
endeavor,, whether in struggles with problems
at home or for the world's economic prizes, is a
wholly un-American nhilosoohv renresentative
leaders in many parts of the country have begun
teaching. These men are uniting to urge charac
teristic American vigor of decision, pointing out
that Great Britain, France and Germany, labor
ing with great burdens, are still showing much
daring enterprise both at home and throughout
the world. They are calling upon the people of
the country to attack all alone the economic line
of fire and they are pooling a valuable and con
vincing body of information to show how sound
is the strength upon which American business is
based and how certainly the country is equal
with morale high, to all emergencies of its lead
ership.,
President Hardine's declaration nf th
administration's attitude toward business and his
summons to business men to meet present na
tional and international emergencies was given
direct to business leaders from all parts of the
country at a dinner arranged for this important
expression by the New York Commercial. There
was a prompt and stronar resoonse on the nart
of the business leaders and there has
grown since Mr. Harding's exposition of the
government's policies a noticeable firming of
business purposes. Evidences of a new and
courageous optimism are reaching the Commer
cial today from ajl parts of the country, an
abundance of encouraging informations justify
ing confidence and decision throuehout the rmm-
try, and it is also receiving muoi well considered,
ncipiui opinion.
The Marvel of the Sun
George Ellery Hale, in Scribners.
Our ancestral sun. as pictured bv Laplace.
originally extended in a state of luminous vapor
beyond the boundaries of the solar system. Ro
tating upon its axis, it slowly contracted through
loss of neat by radiation, leaving behind it por
tions of its mass, which condensed to form the
planets. Still gaseous, though now denser than
water, it continues to pour out the heat on which
our existence depends as it shrinks imperceptibly
toward its ultimate condition of a cold and dark
ened globe.
Laplace s hypothesis has been subjected in re
cent years to much criticism, and there is good
reason to doubt whether his description of the
mode of evolution of our solar system is correct
in every particular.- AH critics agree, however,
that the sun was once enormously larger than it
now is, and that the planets originally formed
part of its distended jnass.
tven in its present aiminished state, the sun
is huge beyond easy conception. Our own earth,
though so minute a fragment of the primeval
sun, is nevertheless so large that some pacjs of
its surface have not yet been explored. Seen be
side the sun, by an observer on one of the plan
ets, the earth would appear as an insignificant
speck, which could be swallowed with ease by
the whirling vortex of a sun-spot. If the sun
were hollow, with the earth at its center, the
moon, though 240,000 miles from us, would have
room and to spare in which to describe its orbit,
for the sun is 866,000 miles in diamter. so that its
volume is more than a million times that of the
earth.
But what of the stars, proved by the spectro
scope to be self-luminous, intensely hot, and
formed of the same chemical elements that con
stitute the sun and the earth? Are they com
parable in size with the sun? Do they occur in
all stages of development, from infancy to old
age? And if such stages can be detected, do
they afford indications of the gradual diminution
in volume which Laplace imagined the sun to
experience?
I" "Excursonia."
During three summer months the United
States is obliterated for many inhabitants by a
new land which might be called Excursonia.
During the war the insistent advice to see Amer
ica first was coupled with a paradoxical refusal
to supply the most useful means, the excursion
rate. Now June 1 has made the corners of the
daily papers blossom with the old advertisements,
there to remain until the end of September.
There was much justice in the complaint that
jeeing America first without excursion rates
meant that Cape Cod was crowded with visitors
from Boston; that Niagara hotels were filled
with sightseers from Buffalo; and Pike's Peak
was climbed by throngs from Denver. Our land
is so diversified that each section can be self
sufficient in the matter of recreation grounds.
Even in the middle west the people of Chicago
have the Wisconsin lakes and woods, and the
people of St Louis have the Ozarks close at
hand. '
The great national usefulness of the excursion
is achieved when it places the North Carolinian
on Coney Island and the New Yorker at Ashe
ville, the Arkansan on Tahoe and the Californian
at Hot Springs. By a sort of bargain sale of
scenery it induces men to travel further afield
than they would otherwise think of doing. New

Enthusiasm Distrusted.
"Your audience applauded your speech to

To "Cure Tobacco Csers."
M. A. M. writes: "I very much
which to know If the much adver
tised tobacco cures are effective. Do
they really cure? If so, can they be
given in food or coffee and have
the desired effect?"
REPLY.
The only effect of the tobacco
cures is to put an old shoo or a
brassy taste in the mouth. That
makes tobacco taste punk for the
timo being. No cure for any kind
of drug habit is worth anything
when given "unbeknownst." To got
results the patient must be co-operating.
That's the reason the religion
cures are so effective. Drug cures
are not very successful unless they
employ that psychology.
How to Feed Year-Olds.
Mrs. J. G. writes: Will you please
advise me how to feed a year-old

with cereals, soup, potatoes, vege
tables, stewed prunes, and apple
sauce. Can he eat any raw fruit?
He weighed 6M pounds when born
and only weighs 19 pounds now.
Should he weigh much more? Should
a baby at that age be in bed at 6
o'clock or can he be outside until
8 or 9 o'clock.
REPLY.
A child 1 -year-old will get on very
well with three meals a day. For
breakfast give cereal, toast, fruit
sauce and eight ouces of milk,
For dinner, potato or rice, veget
ables, toast and broth. For supper,
cereal, toast, fruit sauce and eight
ounces of milk. Among the better
vi se table aro cooked spinach, car
rots, peas, string beans, asparagus,
cauliflower, celery, potato, tomatoes.
Among the' better fruits are cooked
apples, prunes, pears, plums, apri
cots and brown ripe bananas. Give
soups and desserts made with milk.
Civo a moderate amount of meat, no
ores.
N'ecd More Starch, Sugar.
C. A. E. writes: "I have been preg
nant two months and subject to
daily vomiting spells. Could you pre
scribe any diets that would be agree
able to my stomach during this pe
riod?" REPLY.
Eat a halt dosen crackers dry
while still In bed. Eat cereal crack
ers between breakfast and lunch, be
tween lunch and supper, and at
bedtime. Keep your system sup
plied with ample starch and sugar.
Blaud's Iron Tablets.
S. L. writes: "Can you tell me
whether or not Blaud's Iron tablets,
taken regularly, wil,l remedy the
condition of Irregular and some
times continual menstruation?
REPLY.
I do not think so, but there is no
hfirm in taking them. An examina
tion should be made to discover the
cause and treatment should be
based on what is found.
Not Scrtons Case.
F. C. H. writes: "Will you please
ten me the cause of the temperature
of a man 61 years old remaining al
most constantly below normal and
often 1 to 2 degrees 'sub? Does
it Indicate high blood pressure, low
blood pressure, or weak heart ac
tion? Are such symptoms alarming?
What is the usual or best treatment?
Is the use of alcoholic liquors in
such cases advisable or beneficial?"
REPLY. ,
It is of no significance in all prob
ability. When the thermometer is
placed under the tongue It frequent
ly registers low. Low temperature
and low blood pressure sometimes
go together. But even a low blood
pressure in a man 61 is more of an
asset than a liability.
Farmer Hos Not
Struck
(From the Burlington Hawkeye )
Do you remember the talk of a
"fanners' trike" last fall? Tho
farmers were going to stop produc
ing food because they were not paid
enough for it to cover tho cost ml
give them a decent profit. They
said so themselves and tho public
feared a serious shortage this year.
Well, consider the latest reports
of the wheat crop. Wheat is the
country's biggest and most im
portant food crop. The Agricul
tural department forecasts a com
bined spring and winter production
of S30.000.000 bushels, which la al
most exactly the average of the last
five years and 43.000,000 bushels
more than last year's output. Nature
has not been unusually liberal either.
The farmers have done it them
selves, planting over 3,000,000 acres
more than they did a year ao.
There may be industrial strikes
and consumers' strikes, but there are
no farmers' strikes. The farmer may
grumble, but ho stays on the Job,
making full use of his capital and
labor.
