If the American delegation to the Washing ; !on disarmament conference finally is made up i from the list tentatively put forward, Presi J:' dent Harding will not only have honored him i self, but the world as well, by selecting the men b,est qualified for so important an undertaking. t When international affairs are under discussion V in the United States, the mind of the public in f stinctively turns to Elihu Root, Charles Evans J Hughes, Henry Cobat Lodgeand .Philander K. Knox. This group compares with any; the coun J try . has even produced in all respects, as states I men and patrioU, possessed of the faculties that I fit them for the high duties and responsibilities t of representing the nation in important confer f ences or negotiations. r Mr. Harding's course contrasts strangely with J. that of Woodrow Wilson, who could not fore go ihe possible distinction of heading the dele- gatlon from 5 the United States to Paris. In V order that his personal prestige might not suf- fer at any point, Mr. Wilson surrounded' h!m- self by comparatively unknown men; he reso- lutely declined to invite anyone known in con s', nection with international affairs, save as they represented his personal views, and for a re " publican he selected about as obscure a mem- ' ber of the party as might have been found. As f a representative of the minority party, Mr. : Harding has under consideration Oscar W. J. Underwood of Alabama. This choice is per- sonal, although Senator Underwood is well ; qualified for the service. ; Had the president gone to the senate's for t, eign relations committee, the choice'might well U have fallen on Uiibert Moneu mtcncocic 01 Nebraska, chairman of that committee when the democratswere last in control and ranking jj democratic member now. Senator Hitchcock's long service on the committee has made him ' (tr4;Var with ih Hrtails and intracaeiel of our j external relations, and his positive commitment j to disarmament would render him: sympathetic witi the objects of the gathering. Should the president decide for any reason , not to select Senator Underwood as the democratic member of the .delegation, he could very well name Sen- ator' Hitchcock for the place. 'J: Qossip persists that a woman may be given a place, a decided innovation, although woman $ has played an important' part in many a diplo K matic convocation, although not appearing openly in the record.' Here is a wide opportw ' nity for the' president to exercise his ability by ? naming one who will be acceptable to all, and who will reflect the judgment of the executive by her presence" at the council table. Li 1 i Real Air Race for Omaha. Second only to the James Gordon Bennett cun race for air men is the Pulitzer Trophy race, which is just announced as having been J secured for Omaha. , It adds importance as well ; as interest to the coming show "of the Aero club, I which will be the greatest gathering of air men and flying machines ever assembled in the west t Aerial navigation has made so great strides J. since the war that only those wtio are closely ' associated with the industry arc .aware ot ts 5; progress. . , Locally we are familiar with the air mail, t and the commercial use of the airplane to some degree, but do not grasp the possibilities of the f. future with regard to travel by air. A quarter of a century ago only 300 automobiles were in I use in the United States; . last year 2,282,000 were made, and it is expected that as many will be put on the market this season. Over 9,000,000 were in use in, the United States at t the,, end of 1920.

We may in i: time catch up; it is not to our credit as a nation I that the secret of heavier than air flight was $ discovered and the method developed in this ' 1 country, only to be neglected while Europe saw its possibilities and we have since learned from foreigners. , . The Omaha Aero club is on the right track, J? and its success with its show will mean much J to "Omaha's industrial and commercial pros- pects. f ''"Mobs" Sometimes Do Good I An episode of Saturday night in Omaha calls for. some comment. It is noteworthy because it shows that a negro is not always an object of the wrath of a "mob." but that sometimes ' he may be protected by a spontaneous-gather- ing of indignant citizens. In this instance the crew of trolly car were savagely . beating a negro. We know nothing of the merits of the case, wliat provocation the white men had, and - do not assume to pass judgment on that aspect of the case. What we do want to point out is that other white men interfered, and insisted on the arrest of the two who had assaulted the negro; thai a white woman dressed his wounds, giving him first aid, and protested against his being taken" to "the police station, in which pro ftest others joined, to the end that the victim I of the assault was permitted to proceed to hir hom f Psychologists stand baffled by the mob im pulse, which is too often bent on destruction, and which expends itself by doing damage to helpless victims or wrecking property. Occa sionally,' however, as this instance testifies, the sympathies of individuals may be suddenly wakened and the so-called "mob-impulse" finds expression in just the opposite way to that usually ascribed to it. The women and men who protected the negro on Saturday night acted from a common desire to save a fellow creature from cruel treatment They did not take time to go into all the issues involved, but acted promptly and with good effect Mobs are not desirable under any conditions, but if we are to have them, we hope they will all be like the one that did its work so well on North Twenty-fourth; street Also, we are pleased to note that Omaha folks are Inherently devoted to the square deal, even for a negro. Irish Question Still Open. Seemingly the Irish question has gone around the circle, and now stands just about where it did when the conferences commenced. This difference may be noted, however: Demands have been clarly formulated, and the process of bargaining has made some headway. Rejection by Sinn Fein of the proposals made by Lloyd George, and declination by Ulster of any in vitation to enter inW an independent political existence, not an altogether unlooked for out come of the negotiations, do not necessarily mean that hope for setltement has entirely dis appeared. It would be idle to speculate on what may or may not be' done. AH that may happen one way or the other will depend on the attitude of the parties concerned. DeValera and his associates have shown themselves daring and resourceful manipulators,' and may be regarded as astute ones also. Equally this may be said of the British cabinet and of Sir James Craig and those who with him represent Ulster. Some way of approach for further bargaining may readily be found by men as skilled as these in political finesse, and eventually, it is reasonable to expect, the solution will appear. Continuation of the truce is most important just now. If Sinn Fein and the crown can be content with the status established a month ago, and which has brought a cessation of vio lence in the island, further consideration of the fundamental differences will not. be difficult The people of Ireland and England are weary of the sort of warfare that had distressed them for so long. Its renewal will be the most un fortunate thing that could happen. However, nothing on the surface points to such a recur rence. Assurances of both sides that peace is earn estly desired may be accepted as put out in all sincerity. If this be true, and sanity prevails, it is not too much to look ahead for an adjust ment in Ireland that means peace for its in habitants. , . ' Nebraska and the Seaboard. One of the peculiarities of Nebraska's geo graphical situation is that it is as far away from tidewater as it is possible to get on this conti nent The outstanding fact connected with th state's economical and industrial situation is that its prosperity is decided by the cost of reach ing seaports with its produce. No problem could be simpler in its statement: Anything that will help Nebraska farmers' to get their grain and live stock down to seaboard at a lower figure than now prevails is certain to in crease the net income from their farms. This is true for the reason that normally -il n? prices of farm products are controlled by the world markets, and the farmer's share oi the transaction is the price paid in the world mar ket less the cost of getting there. , . That reasons down to the proposition that the lake-to-ocean canal project is a good thing for Nebraska. It will eliminate a rail haul of 1,000 miles between the threshing machine and the ocean liner that is to carry the grain abroad. At present tariffs that is an item that is not to be overlooked, when applied to the more than 50,000,000 bushels of wheat sent to market each year by Nebraska. Apply to other items in which the state is interested, and it becomes even more eliquent and impressive. The inter est of our people in the great project is direct The only danger that really threatens the project is delay. Faith is strong. Careful ex aminations have shown the physical difficulties to be easily surmounted. Intensive surveys have proved the necessity for the project Congres sional action is the next thing needed. Ne braskans should remind their congressmen and senators that the state is vitally concerned in the waterway to the ocean by way of the St. Lawrence. Now is the time to get action on this vital undertaking. . Nebraska still looms up as holder of second place for wheat production among the states. And we have our corn and hogs, cattle and sheep, oats and alfalfa, butter and eggs, and a few other things to fall back on after the wheat is gone. Omaha has a fine chance to make a real record in connection with the forthcoming air meet Airmen are taking great pains "to work up a program that will entertain the public, and their efforts ought to have ample support The soviet government is willing to submit to the American plan for relief. When a man gets hungry enough he will agree to anything for the sake of getting a meal. .Subways 4100 feet deep are proposed as a solution for New York traffic problem. At that they would still be under Tammany control. Reduced rates to the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities is another sign that we are pretty well on the way back to normalcy. , Ak-Sar-Ben visitors will have a fine chance to view some examples of made-over streets in Omaha this year. ' Rainmakers may secure a little surplus stock by applying to any county in Nebraska right now. Chicago's Nineteenth ward soon will make "Bloody Breathitt's" record look pale. Harding knows how to pick representatives. Church Record Surgery. Bishop Stunts Gives Good Advice to His Iowa Churches About Members (From the Northwestern Christian Advocate) Bishop H. C. Stuntz has issued a letter of greeting to his Iowa pastors that has a ring of encouragement calculated to spur these faithful leaders to a well rounding of the con ference year. The bishop touches upon one matter that should have an even larger circle of hearers than those to whom it was addressed. We quote: Please hear me while I exhort again that neither you nor any committee of your church be permitted to perform rude surgery Upon your church records. We that are strong ought to bear the burdens of the weak, and not to please ourselves by drastic cutting down of membership with a view to f educing per capita quotas for this, that and the, other benevolence. Again and again such surgery will let too much blood, and "the blood is the life." Literally thousands of fairly loyal members have been hurt and lost by such savage cutting of church records as has gone on in some charges of this area within the last five years. The bishop has touched a vital matter: There is not a little bungling in the matter of re vision of church records and as the bishop sug gests, much harm has been done by the process. It is a major operation and requires all the skill and wisdom at one's command, and Divine aid in addition. Indeed, an official board could with profit resort to prayer for divine guidance before applying the knife to the records. That one has been lost from the knowledge of the pastor or members of the board is not always that wandering one's fault A refer ence to the attitude of the Master in his deal ings with men will be of profit here. More than once had he to caution his impetuous dis ciples who wished to call ' down fire from heaven, or condemn a recalcitrant brother. His predominant trait was patience, infinite pa tience. If strict enforcement of membership stand ards had been applied in the days of the Apostles, we doubt not that more than one of the disciples would have been ousted from the fold. Peter himself would have stood a slim chance at at least one time in his discipleship. And at the ' last supper did not the Master permit Judas to dip his hand into the dish and eat? The betrayer's plans were undoubtedly known to the Saviour some time before their culmination, but his patience persisted until Judas literally betook himself from without the fold. It is well to study the attitude of Jesus toward his followers, his patience, his for bearance, his outgoing and ever-trailing love. If the provisions of the Disciples regarding changes of membership were more carefully observed less trouble would be entailed and were the church half as solicitous to cultivate the cordial support of half-hearted members as is the world of trade to retain even a chance customer, a morel clean-cut membership show ing would result. Business has a "follow-up" System that is almost irresistible. There are a sufficient number of Methodists in the city of Chicago to stock several churches of respect able congregations. It would be interesting to analyze the causes creating these lost tribes. Assuredly the local church would discover itself to be partially reprehensible. What is needed is better salvage methods.

One of the earliest facts grasped by those who wished to unite lands was that the roads must be made free. As long as people had to stop, from stage to stage along the highways, and pay toll the grossest provincialism pre vailed. The early and rapid development of our great Middle West, and then of our Far West, came because transportation over our railways was remarkably cheap. By that means there was quickly established a "one ness" in America that built up a national spirit Had the freight and passenger rates, during that formative state of our land, been such as they are at present and super-burdened by the 8 per cent Federal tax, we fear there would have been a very great difference in the distribution of our population and industries from that now existing. In those times the cost of transpor tation was the least of one's worries, whereas now before any communication" is undertaken the first essential is to commune deeply with the costs of that service and determine whether it will not be more advantageous to forget remote markets and to some extent establish lines of cleavage in the nation. Such actions may be expedient for immediate ly selfish reasons, but in the long run they may weaken the bonds of union and render them liable to snap when some future strain is put upon them. New Orleans Times-Picayune. Woman Farmers. Up to Date. An Emporia man entered a local store and inquired for the publicity department. The floor walker promptly led him to the hosiery counter' Kansas City Star. o Of the 6,448,366 farms in the United States 4.1 per cent were operated by women last year, there having been 261,553 women whose occupation was classified as farming. Estimating on the basis of women's demon strated ability in other occupations it is safe to assume that the percentage of success and non success in agriculture as between man and wo man farmers will average about the same. It Is not dependent on skill alone. It depends of course upon the quality of the respective lands cultivated. There is nothing of record to show that wo man farmers are in any way discouraged. None of them, so far as revealed, is throwing up her hands in despair. On the contrary, they seem to be taking hold of the farming job with a firmer grip. Of them, 187,769 owned the farms they operated last year only 73,021 were ten ants. As a further revelation as to woman's ability in agriculture we have the fact that 763 women were employed as farm managers. If these were not good farm mangers they vould not be hired to run farms. , It all comes back to the old story that in whatever calling the American woman engages she may be counted on to make good. New York Herald. In the Interest of Economy. Three-cent postage, it is predicted by one of the business writers, will force many a concern to revise its mailing list, and this will be in the interest of national economy. The government is not alone, of course, in wasting the resources of the spruce forest; it is a rare individual who does not daily get advertising matter that ob viously represents somebody's throwing good money away on an impossible prospect. Some circularizing, of course, is justified by the re sults. Much of it is conducted in a haphazard fashion and fails to pay for itself. When 3-cent postage was supposed to be only a temporary war measure it seemed hardly to check the out put of "commercial literature." It was then still a frequent occurrence that at the home address one received the same circular that had already been delivered at the office. If the higher rate looks likely to be continued for a long time, re vision of mailing lists will become one of the economies preached by every efficiency expert in the land. Lowell Courier-Journal. . Cut 'Em and Double 'Em. If, in the new apportionment, the number of representatives could be cut in half the country might be willing to double the salaries of those remaining in the hope of getting $15,000 men to serve. There are some big men in congress whose services to the country are worth many times the salaries paid to them, but there are many who are doing patriotic duty in remaining away as much as they can. New York Com mercial ' MORE ABOUT BABY CARE. As a rule baby specialists do not become very agitated about consti pation in babies. Some even go to the extreme, saying that they had rather see a baby constipated than normal. They see so much harm done by diarrhoeas that they na turally think of the other end of the line as being preferable and some times of being preferable to the midway Btation. But if the phy sicians are satisfied with constipated little babies, not So mothers. I ara sure that in the aggregate there are more mothers anxious and inquir ing about constipation than there are who are disturbed by loose bowels. If the baby Is at the breast a mother can do something to over come constipation by eating freely of fruits and vegetables. Even though a baby be at the breast it Is Just as well to begin giving fruit Juice or the strained Juice of canned tomatoes rather early. Unless the mothers are eating plenty of vege tables, their milk is poor in anti scorbutic principle. Cow's milk con tains very little of this principle, except when the cows are on pas ture or are being fed green stuffs. However, Gerstenberger has shown that orange Juice is not much of a laxative. This is in line with the observations of the thous ands of mothers who have found their babies Just as constipated after commencing orange juice as they were before. Constipation in bottle-fed babies may be due to the taking of milk mixtures which are too rich in pro tein and too poor in sugars and fats. But baby specialists say, since the child needs proteins for growth and the repair of waste and so much diarrhoea and skin troubles are due to fat, it is better to play safe and put up with a mild degree of consti pation. However, If the symptom becomes too troublesome, it may be advisable to increase the sugar or fat, or both. Of the sugars, the malt sugars are the most laxative. Many babies are constipated because they do not get enough water. Most of the moder ate allowance they get goes off as sweat and urine, and little is left for the bowels. Therefore give the baby plenty of water, especially In hot weather. One reason the baby specialists are so little agitated about consti pation is because they think it will end when the baby begins to take gruels, cereals, bread, vegetables, and fruit juices. As a rule, the babies fed on malt ed milk suffer less from constipation than those fed on milk formulas alone. It is better to use a soap stick or an enema than to give a laxative Internally. An injection of an ounce or two of oil at night is socetimes advisable, If a laxative must be given, milk of magnesia is the simplest and the best Constipation in older children is a matter of more concern. Kerley says it is generally due to a diet composed in too great part of sweet milk, crackers, and dry bread stuffs. The condition should be remedied by diet The milk should be but termilk, clabber or skimmed milk. The bread should be whole wheat, graham, or bran. Cereals should be served with butter and sugar, rather than with milk. They should have plenty, of laxative vegetables and fruits. vThey miast be trained to have regular bowel habits. ' Climate? Not the Cause. A. G. O. writes: 'While living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a little over a year ago, my son, 3 years old, contracted asthma, suffering so much from it that on medical ad vice we left the country, coming to Los Angeles. This apparently stopped the trouble and there have been no signs of the trouble until recently, when he has had a few slight attacks, mostly coughing at riight We are living near the ocean. Would it be better for him farther inland? What should be done in the way of a permanent cure?" REPLY. Find the cause of the asthma if possible. It is some cause which is not always present. Can It be contact with a cat, dog-, horse, or bird? Or is it some food? You are Just as like)y to find the cause and to avoid it where you are as you will be inland. a i i a May Be too Nervous. " D. K. writes: "My son, who is 8tt years old, plays around, bowels move regularly, but he belches very much. I had him to two doctors and they gave him medicine, but' it seems to have no effect on him." REPLY. Very little .gas forms in the stomach. Most of that which is belched up is air swallowed with food. Therefore, my first thought is that you should do nothing except teach him to eat slowly and to chew his food well. By eating calmly and slowly, he will not swallow much air. Nervous children develop a habit of belching and sometimes of spitting up the food, and even re chewing and reswallowing it If he has that habit, or any part of it, he can be broken of it or trained out of it, but ordinary medicine does no good.

A music cabinet contains records of the finest arias from the best operas, and selections from the greatost musicians in the world. I can hear the music, leaning back in a com fortable chair while I smoke a cigar, and I don't have to defer to anyone in making up my program for the evening. Almost within arm's reach ara several shelves of books filled with the most profound and beautifully expressed thoughts of the ages. I can spend an hour with Benjamin Franklin and absorb the homely wisdom of that great sage; I can enjoy the sparkling tales by the three masters of the short ' story.

I can follow Gib bon and see the great Roman em pire spread Itself over the known world and then watch it crumble because its people could not stand proseperity.

My children attend a school where they are given a better education than the sons of kings could command a century ago. I go to work in a machine which some people call an automobile, and I travel a distance in three-quarters of an hour which would have been" an all-day trip for my father, a gen eration ago.. I enjoy all these things and yet I am just an ordinary citi zen, with an ordinary income, living in an ordinary way. Tens of thous ands have just , as much as I and more. And yet I kick and wonder what ails the world. Were the good things of life so ever easily at the command of the ordinary man as they are to day? To be perfectly frank, don't we all do a lot of welching that we haven't any right to do ? And if we aren't careful, isn't there danger that we will upset the greatest sivili zation the world has ever known? When Sunday Comes.

To the Editor of The Bee: Statistics show that f tha American trade is the buying and selling amongst ourselves; therefore, this great buna- ' boo l.'oreie-n Trade Is a delusion I purposely intended to deceive the American people. Why worry about the little ends of the horn? When American prosperity depends solely upon our home markets as shown by the records for tha year 1919, when our domestlo trade showed a profit of 162,000,000,000 against a foreign trade balance which showed a profit of $4,000,000,000. The year of 1919 was the banner year of our foreign trade. The American people have liqui dated their debts and we have passed the peak load of burdensome credits by forced liquidation by the Fed Aral Rf-HfirvA bank HVfiteim. The biggest frozen credit of all which ; the American people have to carry ; is the burden of the allied debt, and there is but one concrete solution j that is to increase the present I gold standard to double Ita present value, that the financial structure of the world may be, able to meet present-day requirements, if gold Is to bo the siundard of exchange, the present value must bo increased. The old standard has outlived ltn usefulness. Foreign nations an never pay this debt or even the in terest unless the United States con gress increases the present gold standard. Another method "of reduolng tho burdens of taxation on the American publio would be for congress to pons an act making Liberty bonds ex changeable for Federal Reserve notes or permit them to circulate at par for the payment of all public and private debt. This would do away with payment of , Interest amounting to $1,000,000,000 an nually, and would restore prosperi ty by forcing $18,000,000,000 Into the channels of domestic commerce thus solving the unemployment question by starting the wheels Of Industry into action.
