"And never a Uw of God nor man run north of S3,', tang Kipling, but be. didn't mean that anarchy prevailed. What he did have in mind ia the fact that up in that land at that time, ai in certain parts of the "west" in a not far dis tant day. each man carried the law in himself. He obeyed it, and perhaps nowhere under the shining sun r ever in history was justice more exact or certain than it was there . and then. Rude, perhaps, and not always accompanied by the frills and trimmings it has been surrounded with by civilization, but substantial, in that its foundation was the square deal, gauged by the honest, straightforward impulses of men, each of whom knew that he", too, was responsible and it might be his turn next. ' , Which leads up to the group of "theoretical anarchists" who-have attracted attention by set ting up a "colony" wherein they "defy" the laws ol God and man, ostentatiously parading their attitude and annoying the neighbors by their un seemly conduct. It will be noted that this precious assemblage has selected a spot( where the machinery for enforcement of man-made law has been brought to its highest perfection,' and where the law tf God has been observed for cen turies. This choice rested on the primal instinct of seifpreservation. Not one of that crew but knows and trusts in his knowledge that if an other imposes on hira he may immediately in voke the law and secure redress. And not one of them but would do it. In any event, however, the law of God will not be modified nor in the least turned aside, just because this motley crew of wormy-brained zealots have pretended to ignore it. And the first one of them who is guilty of a serious in fraction of the statutes of New Jersey' will find himself present In 'court as a prisoner. The law will not cease to operate just because this or that individual says he is above it or has no in tention' of paying any attention to it. " '. ' Finally," the best place. to set up an experi ment in Applied anarchy is, somewhere near a large citjithat has an efficient police force. The group in question has chosen wisely, for its safety., is assured so long as it doesn't get too ambitious.. -Then, when the novelty of the affair has worn off, and the sustenance of the outfit de pends on;omebody going td work, the cry for help will go up, just as it has from ' Russia, where, the laws of God and man were set aside,' anf another "brutal" ' exhibition of capitalistic tyranny will be noted when the police disperse the "theoretical anarchists." ; A Saying It With Guns.

In West Virginia armed bands of miners and mine guards are in constant conflicf, and threats of a general engagement have been made. These are events chronicled in the current news and can not but be discouraging to those who hoped for an era of world peace after the great war. If Americans are unable to adjust their, difficulties between themselves without re sort to arms, how much is. to be expected be tween peoples divided by national boundaries? If race hat,' land hunger, .exploitation and the aspirations' of nationalism are to continue to '- function, force will remain the court of last re- sort . . . . ': '.' ;. : .- Simultaneously with these " wild outbreaks , there is found an extensive and profound desire for universal peace. Its influence is being felt by those in control of many governments, and its aim is truly noble. The prevalence of disturbed areas all over the globe, however, must be recog nized as exhibiting the difficulties which stand in the way. . . Uncle Sam,' Banker. . ' Congress ought to receive favorably the recommendation of the Postoffice department . and federal reserve bank officials for an increase in the interest rates paid depositors in the postal savings banks. This system, for the establish ' ment of which The Bee fought many years, is ' now recognized as a legitimate governmental ac ; tivity. It does not injure or conflict with the profits of privately owned banking institutions, but rather, taps" new sources of capital, encour ages the babit of thrift, and reaches those who otherwise would hoard their money in a mattress, an old sock or other hiding places and demon . strates to them -that it is better to put their funds to work at interest than merely to hold it out of ': circulation. 2 The low rate of interest now paid on postal : savings accounts, together with other restrictions, ' has hampered its growth and lessened its possi- bilitks of public benefit Postmaster-General Will U. Hays is right in saying that jn paying 2 per cent Interest iustead ol lit customary i per cent the government has been taking an unfair advantage of those who put their trust in its bank. When the bill to remedy this condition U brought Co vote in congress, it should have thundering big majority. 1 i An Indictment of the Nation. From the office of the secretary of labor comes an analysis of the building operations car rird on in 19J0 in the United States that mut atonih even the thoughtless. At time when the housing situation was most scute, the nation built more garages than i did dwellings, and more moving picture theaters than churches and hospitals, white the sum spent iu school con itruction was little more than half that expended on garages. Here Is what Secretary Davis says: I am informed by Ethelbert Stewart, com missioner of labor statistics, that in the 196 cities with over 3S,(X)0 population from which returns were received, $1,204,490,764 was ex prnded in building construction for the year 19.M. The population of these 196 cities way 34, 572.904, or 32.7 per cent of the total population of the United States. There were 68.6J7 one family houses constructed, at a cost of $296, 124.663, or 24.6 per cent of the total amount of money spent in all kinds of building. There were only 5,402 two-family houses built; but while in all the one and two-family houses combined there were but 81,103 families pro vided for, there were 93,121 garages built. To be sure, an unknown number of families were provided for in the 1,496 apartment houses that were built as such and the 239 apartment houses built with stores combined. Still, making liberal estimates for these, auto mobiles fared better than families. There were 426 moving picture and other amusement places built in these cities during the year at a cost of $40,522,240, or consider ably more than the cost of churches and hos pitals, and while these cities constructed 547 schoolhouses, their cost, $50,023,140, was but little more than half 'the1 money spent on gar ages. " But one conclusion is possible from this, that as a nation we put in one precious year in friv olous pursuit of amusement and pleasure, to the neglect of things we sorely needed. -We totfk our fun when we should hve been at work. Now we are paying for it. However, it is not too late, and if another year shows even as much money spent on homes as on garages the fact will be accepted as a good omen. . Conference on Unemployment. '.: Industrial conditions in the United States are not improving as rapidly as might be wished. While optimistic predictions are freely indulged, and those who ought to know express the opin ion that change for the better is at hand, the fact remains that at the end of the summer sees more idleness than the country has endured since 1914. This situation has moved the president to de termine on a conference, at which the leaders of groups concerned will be invited for an exchange of views to the end that a way may be found to obviate unnecessary suffering during the coming winter. Secretary Hoover of the Department of Commerce is charged with making arrangements for the gathering. ' ' j The unescapable fact is that liquidation has gone forward so unevenly that no balance exists, However there are signs which justify the belief that the peaks which now persist will be brought much nearer the general plane of prices, and so permit the restoration of trade parity' that was all but destroyed in the speculative period that followed the war. With leaders working to bring about such a condition, the prospect 'for" the success of the conference the president has in .jnind is bright. ,J - 'If nothing else comes from the meeting, it should have? the effect of giving out a com prehensive review of conditions, with the' reaction of groub thought to the proposed legislative pro gram for tariff and revenue, These laws directly affect business, and as they are framed so must commercial and industrial operations be carried on. Congress may well listen to the proceedings of the conference oh unemployment. None-will long for the immediate resumption of the "boom" days, but it is not unreasonable to expect tfiat a way out of the existing trouble may be fouSidYj Trafficways ' for Omaha. . Omaha is blessed with wide streets in its business section and is the envy of its sister cities on that account In the possession of traf ficways, leading from one section to another, however, it is lacking. The proposed widening of .Twenty-fourth street is a move in the direc tion of meeting this need, which each year, with the development of business and the extension of the use of motor trucks and cars, will be come more pressing. ' '. These arteries of traffic must not only be wide and solidly paved, but they should also have easy: grades. Public opinion considers the improvement of Dodge street and St Marys well worth while, and there yet remains much, mbre to be done. .v .: .

Recently there' appeared a joke in Puncli in which a plumber was reprimanded by another workman for sharpening a lead pencil because "it was a carpenter's job. Doubtless many per sons laughed at this as a good joke, but it is also characteristic of the attitude of a great many people regarding present-day economic He Makes the World uaugh International Clown Bares Some Secrets of His Clever Buffoonery. ' (Louis Bcrnhelmer in the New York World) . Behind the scenes at the Hippodrome there it a room of about 20x10 feet dimension. In one corner is sn electrically driven ' lathe. On the walls are hung uncompleted contrivances of wood, ami on benches ami tables there are other skeleton forms. In ajl. the room most rewm blet a section of factory of gigantic wooden watches, as big as cart wheels. And here, throuuh all the hot summer days, works Fred Ccrwey, a tall, dark-eyed man of 42, musical clown, preparing his tricks lor tne win ter season. "And the worot part about being a niuiical clown," Corwry said, as he hugged his knees with restless, long-lingered hands, "it that there is no what do you call it copyright law for clowns, like there it for anything else, like books, plays. , "People will steal your jokes, your tricks, and use them the day after you bring them out It is different when it conies to an acrobat. To steal one of hit acts needs months of practice. It is not real stealing becase the man has to go through the same physical effort as the one who invented it and the same danger. "But when it conies to a joke or a trick, anything that can be copied without work, just lifted and used somewhere else, there you are stealing a man's brain, and without any work on your part. It has got so that I have had to make it too complicated for anyone to cheat me. "Most of my tricks are so difficult now that it is impossible to steal them. It is the 'how,' of doing my acts, not the 'what,' that I pay atten tion to. So, you sec, I protect myself that way. If anyone wants to copy me they will have to go through months of practice, sometimes a year or more, before they do what I do. "When I first came to this country, 15 years ago I tell you this to show you how I have to work on a single one of my tricks I had some thing nobody could imitate. It was a musical in strument like a piano, with keys the size of bricks. I hung myself up by the collar on a hook above the keyboard so I could just touch the keys with my feet. Now, when you are hung up by the neck you can't feel anything in your legs. "It took me a year and a half to learn how to play those keys. Now I am back at the Hippo drome a year. VVhen I first returned I. thought I would use that trick again. I found out that I couldn't do it any more, and it might take me a year to rclearn, so I gave it up. "The clown must first be an artist. Without the temperament, he will never amount to any thing. I have seen men with good acts succeed in one part of the world and fail in another. He must know his audience immediately. Here is an example. The first time I came here from England my first matinee performance was a frost. How well I remember that I In the eve ning I was a success, and the stage manager said to me: 'Why didn't you give that show this aftcrnpon?' Now it was the same show, but I had changed it to suit the audience. But he didn't tee it." "You'v traveled all over, I suppose?" "Almost all over the world. I have been in Africa, India, Australia, England, France, Ger many, Italy. Always, alone, -my trunks full of machinery to make my new tricks with. One circuit. I was on included Africa, India and Aus tralia, a regular English circuit. In Capetown and Johannesburg they have big houses like the movie houses here. "What I was telling you before about under standing your audiences is important, for this reason: They are different in each country. You take the' German audience. It is very heavy, likes slow stuff. The English audience conies next. It will laugh, but only along certain lines, at certain things. Outside of those it is not safe to go.' '. :. ' . ' - f "But the American audiences will laugh at anything; they are like children: they laugh so heartily, and they enjoy themselves. I have-1 played in Paris often. The French are entirely different; they like something piquant. - . "Now,, for instance, if I had. a rose in my buttonhole" suddenly Corwey' was the mime; Iris noble face was transformed into the simper ing mask of. a dandy -"and I took that rose and pinned it on the corsage of a lady, and if 1 took that chance to caress her with my hand"; he made the movement of transferring the flower to the bosom of the admired lady "like that, the American audience would not like it. But the French would; something piquant is what they want. The .Italians are different -again; pan tomime is popular with them. Itally is really the source of pantomime.: "But America, is the home of humor. It. is entirely different from Europe.- Take this, for instance. Suppose you have a man smoking a cigaret. He puts the wrong end of it in his mouth. In Germany they would want hint to make all kinds of capers. - : ; ' . "In America he would make a little twist of his mouth like this" he contorted his mouth dryly "and throw the cigaret away, so nobody would notice that he had burned himself. Do you see the difference? v "In Germany we call your way 'dry' humor;' the European is quite distinct from it." The t'Home Brew" Peril. . There is no question in congress of legaliz ing home brew. It will and should remain ille gal. ' Anyone openly making it or boasting of making it will be liable to fine or jail. But the house, led by Mr. Volstead, acts wisely in re fusing to" make the prohibition enforcement agents a set of house raiders. In large part it simply recognizes an accepted state of affairs. Everyone knows that even where the local po lice whole-heartedly co-operate in enforcement there has been little effort to' stop home brew ing fof home consumption. The enforcement of the ISth amendment should be kept as simple as possible, especially at first To stop all illegal importations, to prevent the manufacture of stills, to shut up all bootlegged establishments, to end the transportation and sate of intoxicants these are 'the main objects. , Some . congressmen have undoubtedly rea soned also jthat home' brew has been taken too seriously. , Opponents of prohibition tried to Tnake men believe that every cellar would have its outfit and that abolition of the groggcrics would mean wholesale self-poisoning. There has been much less home brewing than they or the cartoonists suggest: Many men have found it interesting to make home brew once. After spending large sums for materials, after mak ing the house smell like a yeast factory, after breaking pottery and spoiling clothes, after ei.d less labor, they decanted a naRseous liquor. If their zeal persisted, they found their wives tak ing the role of Carrie Nations. Congress and the enforcement agents will do well to concen trate upon the really important objects of pro hibition.

In declaring, however, that the rec ommendations of the. secretary of the treasury were rejected Chairman White errs. - As long ago as - last April Secretary Mellon in a letter to the ways and means committee said: " The nation cannot continue to spend at this shocking rate.; The country is staggering under the existing burden of taxation and debt and clamoring for gradual re lief from the war taxation. Reappropriations of unexpend ed balances, revolving fund appro priations of receipts and other i in definite authorizations of expendi ture have in the past been respon sible for hundreds of millions of dollars of actual cash outgo. Substantial cuts in current ex penditures offer the only hope of ) effective relief from the tax bur den. -The only way to escape these additonal taxes, to an aggregate amount of between $250,000,000 and 8350,000,000, will be to make' Immediate cuts in that amount In current expenditures. In other words, Secretary Mellon did exactly what the head of the Treasury department should have done; he laid the facts before the ap propriate committee or the house of representatives, and left it to the committee to say whether old econo mies or new taxes should be resorted to. It was only as an alternative to a large reduction of expenditures that he recommended a long list of new taxes. He is entitled to an apology from Mr. White for the tat ter's erroneous statement.
