In phrases simple in construction, easily un derstood, and susceptible of only one interpreta tion, President Harding delivered a message to the world at Arlington Heights yesterday, pro nouncing his eulogy over the Unknown War rior, whose body was laid to rest with so many tributes that only nations can bestow, the presi dent voiced the aspirations of his people for peace. Without affectation, with no obscurity of meaning, words that may carry different mes sages to different hearers, he said: I speak not as a pacifist fearing war, but as one who loves justice and hates war. I speak as one who believes the highest function of government is to give its citizens the security of peace, the opportunity to achieve and the pursuit of happiness. Mr. Harding looks with clear eyes at the problems of a troubled world, however, and is without illusion in his own mind. "With all my heart," he says, "I wish we might say to the de fenders who survive, to mothers who sorrow, to widows and children who mourn, that no such sacrifice shall be asked again." His conclusion is: "There must be, there shall be, a command ing voice of "a conscious civilization against armed warfare," ' , These words of the president will echo around the world for they contain the aspiration of the greatest of all peoples, the sublime hope of more than an hundred million of free citizens, that the clash of arms will never again disturb the peace to (establish which all energies now are directed. America's aspect in the late war and in all other wars, past or possible to be, is expressed by the president in these sentences: Thil American soldier went forth to battle' with no hatred for any people in the world, but hating war and hating the purpose . o,f every war for conquest He cherished our national rights and abhorred the threat of armed domination; and in the maelstrom of destruction and suffering and death-he fired his shot for liberation of the captive conscience of the world, in advancing toward his objective was somewhere a thought of a world awak ened; and we are here to testify undying grati tude and reverence for that thought of a wider " freedom. ' 1 .- "; , From those simple words shines forth the genius of America. Strong to defend the right, ready to battle for justice and liberty, oppressing none, having none;" abhorring evil, injustice, usurpation, the denial of right, America regards no military triumphs save those alone that bring the greater freedom, reveres only that soldier wlio strives for humanity. In such high concep tion was the nation born, and through fidelity to its mission it has lived. The world knows, and knowing will trust America. ' "Who Killed Cock Robin?" Even before the conference at Washington came together for its first session, its success was admitted by several brethren who were not at all enamored of Mr. Harding's program at first .Out of this has emerged the makings of a mighty interesting controversy, which later on may require the services of an arbitration tribunal. The editor of the New York World modestly admits that he and his great newspaper are in combination the agency that has brought about this wonderful result Opposed to this, the editor of the Omaha World-Hetald insists that only Woodrow Wilson should have credit for Implanting and nourishing the idea that has grown so great. From other sources come similar claims, all as well founded, and none of them taking note of William Jennings Bryan, who was peddling the idea over the Chautauqua circuits for many years before he became premier in Mr. Wilson's cabinet A more important question comes to mind: If they all had this idea in their heads, why did they not do some thing to give it life? It might have been written into the Treaty of Versailles, you know. As things turned out it was Warren G. Harding who invited certain great powers to send dele gates to Washington to participate in a confer ence dealing with the limitation of armaments. Criminals Challenge the Law. King Alfred, who made the highways of hit kingdom so safe that purses hung in trees un touched for days could find ample employment in the United States just now. All over the land crime abounds and criminals seem to operate as they will. Omaha has its fair share of robbery of various kinds, bat seemingly is not worse off than other communities, great and small This does not make the situation any the more bearable, or lessen the obligation of the police to take up the gage thrown down by the criminals and beat them at the game. Nobody is immune; mails are robbed, and homes are looted; murder is added when the safety or con venience of the robbers seem to require the tak ing; of life, and with such impudent assumption f iaifiunit as exasperates the plain citizens. If the resderi of the daily pipers were now sud then regaled with accounts of how baud of these arrogant freebooters had been wiped out by well directed fire from the guns furnUhed by the public for police use, the ensuing sensation might upset the feeling of diatrust that follows the daily recital of achievements by marauders. A variation of that 'sort is suggested as an ex periment. Some satisfaction might aIo follow the announcement that a few of the thieves had been locked up. It is worth trying. Put More Cows in the Pastures. Business men report that in farming districts where dairying is carried on the pinch of hard times is felt less than in the grain growing sec tions. Bills are paid more promptly and there are more comforts in the farm homes where the cream checks assure a regular monthly income. The dairy cow turna a farm into a factory, re ducing the raw material of hay and grain and cornstalks into a finished product This way lies profitable agriculture. Nebraska ought to produce, more milk, butter, cheese and other dairy products. F. J. Far rington, member of an Omaha implement com pany and himself a dairyman of long experience, has every authority on his side in the campaign he has launched to bring more milch cows to the state. In periods of low prices for grain the subject of dairying never fails to attract earnest attention. Just now the fact that dairy products have declined less in price than most of the agri cultural output gives additional emphasis to the subject The plan presented by Mr. Farriiiftton be fore the agricultural committee of the Chamber of Commerce calls for a state-wide campaign to put more dairy cows on Nebraska farms. He hopes to interest the co-operation of all business men in this, on the ground that the prosperity of Nebraska agriculture will benefit every line of trade. The problem is not entirely one of induc ing the farmers to enter milk production, but also to make it possible for them to do so. As surance of the best dairy stock is necessary to the success of the movement, and assurance of funds to make the purchase, as well. The War Finance corporation has promised to extend credit for buying dairy stock. A method used with success in other countries is for the coun ties to bond themselves in order to extend long time credit for dairy purposes. What is needed now is action. Everyone knows that dairying can be carried on profit ably in Nebraska. Let whatever means is neces sary be adopted to realize this plan. Not a Parade of Pacifists. Armistice Day in Omaha, as generally throughout the land, was devoted to a public ex pression of the devout1 wish that war may be banished from the world. Every heart among the multitudes that marched and the other multi tudes who lined the route beat high with one thought, that each was contributing by so much at' least to the sum total of the blessing man kind will enjoy when there will be no more war. Yet it will not do to mistake the sentimtnt of those who marched. , It was not a parade of sentimentalists, of pacifists, who would purchase peace at any price. Men and women were there, with heads erect and bosoms proudly unlifted, who followed Old Glory on many a stricken field through three great wars. They know the meaning of the shock of battle, . the pathos and the horror as well as the glory of arms. And, if they marched in the great demonstration, it was not because they dread war so much as because they love mankind more. They feel, as do all right-thinking folks, that a better way should be found to adjust the differences that disturb the world. Crusaders for liberty, they have relieved man kind of the tyranny of despotism, and now they seek to liberate future generations from the curse of war. Dignity born of conscious strength up holds those marchers, who believe that right makes might, as ready now as ever to battle for that right, yet sincere in the thought that blood shed and devastation are not the means to win men to see the right. The majesty of the thought, the solemnity of the moment, make yes terday's manifestation one of America's most no table events. Detroit's Business Administration. No other city has grown as fast as Detroit in the last ten years. It is like a young colt among the plodding metropolises whose period of quick growth is longer past Particufarly is this demonstrated by the recent election which returned James Couzens to the mayoralty by a majority of 33,000 votes and endorsed a remark able public program. Mr. Couzens is a business man, and made his fortune as a partner of Henry Ford. To com pare him to Mayor Thompson of Chicago and Mavor Hylan of New York is to realize the vastly superior motive power which is carrying the Michigan industrial center ahead so fast To some it may appear 4hat Detroit is plunging a bit, but at least it is putting forth an energetic effort to make the most of its opportunities. Thus, when the street railway service showed itself incapable of keeping up with the needs of the city, several municipal lines were put under operation. Now, by a majority some what greater than that received by Mr. Couzens, the people have voted to oust the private sys tem from two main streets and replace them by public car lines. At the same time the proposal to purchase fifty trackless trolley cars to be used in the outlying districts as feeders to the municipal lines was approved. A ten-year contract with the Ontario hydro-electric system for cheaper electricity from Niagara Falig was authorized, thus obviating the necessity for a public power house. Construction of a traffic way east and west across the city was ordered. A plan of paying taxes in two installments was approved. Bonds amounting to $5,500,000 were voted for the construction of a war memorial hall This is the story of Detroit under capable business administration. The political game as it is played in other municipalities has been dis carded. Instead of permitting the votera to de cide nothing more than which set of men shall occupy the city hall, they are called upon to de cide real problems. The significant thing, too, is that they have not turned to radical leader ship, but put their trust in the same hard-header business acumen that built the city up commercially. The Committee of 5,000, with its plan of monthly pledges seems to be for reform on the installment plan. The Husking Bee Its Your Day Siari ItWiihaLaufih MV ROSARY.

Omaha's death rate by automobile accident shows an increase, according to government sta tistics. But there was a decrease in the number of deaths from old age. , If your coal gets low and the rooms feel chilly, by attaching the thermometer to an elec tric light globe, the temperature may easily be run up to 80 or 90 degrees. When beef drops a cent a pound., wholesale. a lot of consumers get excited and yell, "Look out below I" . SYMPATHY.

When 49'ers left New York for the Califor nia gold fields, traveling a la carte, first news they heard upon their arrival was that the Civil war had been fought and won. When they got back to New York with the stake, Bryan was running for president Now a guy gets up in the morning, shaves in a leisurely manner, breakfasts at his club, motors down to the hangar at Mineota flying field and hops off westward, hoi Drops onto the landing field at Omaha for an early luncheon and a tresh package of cigarets and arrives at 'Frisco in time to receipt for the telegram that he sent announcing his departure from New York. Returning to New York and dropping into the club in the evening, a friend greets him with: "Where have you been all afternoon? George wanted you to run over to Paris with him for the show this evening." And so it goes I ,' BEE SHOE FUND. When little toes come peeping forth They get some frosty views.

Myer son'a book, ' "The Nervous House wife," fur aeries of articles. In one I tpoko of a type of woman matrimonially Inclined young men aliuuld avoid If thry are wine. In re ponB to many letter T pi-omitted tho glrla to keep on the lookout for material setting forth the kind of a man matrimonially Inclined girls should teer clear ut. I found the dhhI for one artlrl on the eubji-ct, but neither the reser voir of Information nor my article waa Mtlnfuctory to me. Dr. Myer eon inuat have been pr(cked by durta from the same general aourco for he has contributed an article on "The Nervoua HuHhand" to a recent number of the Ludles' Home Jour nal. I con f oh to my readers that this story of mine will not tmtiRfy them or ma because It la drawn from Dr. Myeraon's article and that blamed tha nervousness of the huHhand on the wife. What we are looking for Is that group of cases where Adam deserves the punishment and tnkes It and fulls to charge Eve with It. Of course, every woman will be on her guard agAinst the Inherently nervous type of man, the irritable ego centric neurotic who gives evi dence of his lack of nervous sta bility In his appearance, his manner isms, the subjects of his conversa tion, his talk, and his general de portment, as well us on his reputa tion. With that type no woman can be happy, if she gets her hap piness from her husband and her home, but not counting her children as part of the home. Myerson s other types of men who develop into nervous husbands go that route, according to that expe rienced and able authority, because of their wives. At any rate, If the wife understood the type and knew how to meet in dications she could save Friend Husband from developing nervous ness. Adam was as he was. Eve might have saved him, and because she did not she is blamed. Myerson tells us that the neurolo gists know there is nothing to the notion that women have an intui tive understanding of men and the art of handling them. His first type is the nondomesttc man. Most women know the earmarks of this type. The man of this type is not essentially a nervous husband, but he easily develops into one if the wife does not know the breed and how to handle it. The next type s the man who' takes his business cares home witn him. The man of this type is a nat ural worrier; is given to fears and anxieties. He Is far more liable than is the man of the first type to develop nervousness, but the skillful wife can prevent this development. His last type is the restless man, He will not sit quietly beside the lamp at night and read a book, but develops into a chronic card player or theater hound.. He, too, can be tamed by an understanding wife. Just how much of the responsibil ity for the nervous husband the wife is responsible for, in Myerson's opinion, is shown by his 10 com mandments, which are as follows: 1. Thou shalt not cut a man oft abruptly from his past; lead him to break the threads one by one himself. 2. Thou shalt not be jealous of a man's recreations, of his golf, his fishing and his men friends. Remember, man is a gang animal, even if he loves his wife. - S. Thou shalt consider his purse before thy desire and shalt not" compete with thy rich friends. Remember that a man who is broke loses his self-respect and his affection for others. 4, 6, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Thou shalt not nag, scold or eternally com plain. Keep Boy Outdoors. I. D. writes: "My little boy, who is almost 4 years old, had acidosis in January. Since that time he has gained, but has a sour breath and is constipated at times. I give him prunes, oranges knd laxatives, but feel that he may have acidosis again. He has a hoarseness in his throat which holds on. I give him a gargla of water and soda. Can you help me?" REPLY. Doctors do not feel very sure' of their ground when advising how to prevent acidosis. Keep him in the open air as much as possible. Cereals, bread, vegetables, and fruits should make up the bulkof hie diet. Old Fashions Return. Mrs. F. M. D. writes: "We live In the country and all of the neigh bors, including ourselves, have a rash. It is light at first and then gradually forms a festering sore as we scratch it. Some of them have been bothered with it for a couple of months. - Is there anything to be done for it and what is it? It seems to be vry contagious'." ' REPLY. I suspect you are having old fash ioned itch. Old fashioned itch can be cured If you go at it rightly. Sul phur ointment cures it, but the way of using it is more Important than what is used. Spend half an hour scrubbing the. skin, - and especially the itch marks, with hot water and soap, using a bruish for the scrub bing. Then spend a half hour rub bing sulphur ointment into the itch holes. Cover with the ointment and go to bed In a fresh night gown. All clothing should be boiled or ironed to destroy the parasites. This should be done every day to the clothing just taken off. Three nights of this treatment is generally suffl cient. The Danish itch killing olnt ment is now available at drug stores. It is said to cure Jn one night Farmers are apt to have a harvest mite itrh at this season of the year, but that Is probably not your trouble. lib It Mara Ita wlaaia trrmij tm Ha rawlara mm cm tm Ola mmy fruU NVaatw.

Omaha, Nov, 8 To tha Editor of Ths He: Your editorial, "Mcrambiad Economic," la surely a timely topic for dlMi-uuiInn, aa It deals with tha evils of hlfh flnanca. which la re sponatble for America's derangoment unemployment, bualneaa depres sion and low prices of farm prod ucts, which are traceable to Wall street bunking Interests, who today represent tha worst combination of profiteer In the world. For. by their tipprewilve ruloa. they have raised the prlea of American exchanga ao high thnt tha currency of foreign countries ha been ao debaned in value that the door of foreign mar kets has been locked to American products, and the statement often made that America's failure to enter the league of nations haa affected our flnunclal situation Is not true, n nd Is only made to cover up tha real cause and protect those who are now reaping the profits. On) year ago America had tha whole world at her feet; England still was handicapped, but American excl.unee raten have enabled En- lund to sirtnglhen herself, and take ovr many murkets which America could have had. had tha exchange rates not been prohibitive; and the federal reseivt- board's money pol icy, making difficult domestic bor rowing, has put all the obstacles In the way of American producers marketing their products, and have permitted the Wall street banking Interests to secure money at 4V4 per cent, while the Industrial snd agri cultural borrowers are now paying 8 and 10. per cent. These facts make clear what trade policy Englund 1b pursuing, why she Is content to see the Amer ican dollar at so great a premium. and the fact that England owes this country $4,227,000,000 on which she is not paying any Interest la another Important factor In her favor. The deferring of this Interest payment has a direct bearing on the credit situation, which is to the advantage of the English manufacturer and exporter, who is not taxed to meet this payment, and tha United 8tates exporter arid manufacturer is com pelled to advance this interest by taxation. What one English banker : Is quoted to have said is undoubt-1 edly true: 1 "America Is asleep and England i knows it, and is taking full advan-j tage of the opportunity." In order "to protect the United States treasuiys gold reserves and help forelgngovernments pay their debts to this government American j gold miners have pointed out to this I government that by increasing the standard of value from $20.67 to $41.34 an ounce, the gold supply may be doubled, thus permitting foreign governments to pay their war debts to us, as they are now holding 60, per cent of the world's gold supply of $10,000,000,000, and unless this standard is increaaed, gold will cease to be the standard of . value as foreign countries will not be compelled to accept some other standard of value or repudiate their debts to America, and America will be the greatest loser and England will be the master of world's finance and commerce. This will be the price we will pay for our high-priced ex- ! change, which the present adminis tration can remedy if it will take steps at once to do so an act which will unscramble economics and stop profiteering in money. ROY M. HARROP. Favors the Paper. Fairmont, Neb., Nov. 5. To the Editor of The Bee: I read with in terest a letter In the 4th Inst issue of The Bee from an ex-Nonpartisan league organizer, in which he shows great concern for the fanners money invested in the new weekly paper soon to be started by the inde pendents in this state. He mentions several times the "farmers money" as though he was concerned about the farmers. The postmark and general tone of the letter Indicates that It came from near the state house and the concern is not for the farmers' money, but for the ob noxious stuff that paper will print An independent paper has a very aggravating habit of nosing in and reporting the doings of the state house crowd, or the taxpayers' serv ants (at election time), and gives sidelights about doings of commis sions, etc., and chronicles such items as "the governor was at his OfHee one day last week," and many other interesting bits of news which the Associated Press overlooks for vari ous reasons. The new weekly will be Judged by its merits and will live or die as it deserves. But for an ex-league or ganizer to dictate to the farmers that is sure the limit. An ex, a has- been, should keep his place. If ex league organizer has no other means Bf existence now than to .write up us silly farmers, the undersigned will, if he will sign' his name witn bis next communication, send him the price of a sandwich and a bowl of soup, to hIp Uda over until ha ran t Into something mora aubataaital than a formr Ir-axue irgantir. JOHN A. ANDKHHON. What A boat Tills? Omaha, Nov. I. To tha Editor of The Use: How many famlllo 20 years ago would tiavs considered themaelvrs financially able to own a thouswnd dollar llrewster coupe, a lit team of norma and a driver? I don't suppose thr were a doaen Ruch outfits In Omaha 20 years ago. Who could poaalbry fore that an automobile representing more money than that would be owned by clerk on a aalary? Tha automobile U tha greatest ex travagance that tha world hna ever known. It has kept people from saving any rnonay, and tndny la mora to blame for the hard time that wa ara experiencing than any thing else. A careful computation hns been mode In the state of Kansas ss to what the farmers are spending for automobiles in upkeep alona, and the figure for each farmer is Ht5 a year, which is more tliun their entire wheat crop this year will bring them, and It Is estimated by the same authority that It will take the wheat crop of three years at the present price to psy for the new automobiles the farmers of Kansas have bought this year. The average farmer will not spend a hundred dollars a year on labor saving devices in the line of Im proved farm implements. You would naturally suppose thnt they would get out the old horse snd bugicy. but they are so hyponltlzed by the automobile that they would rather go through bankruptcy than do wlthjut It The condition of thj city owner of automobiles is even i worse, because the farmer is satis-1 fld with a Turd. As long aa p pis will eontlaua ta run their aula, mobiles lhy have no busine to k for sympathy va account of tha hard times. CUKJrOItW VILLP. - TrUt Wag Cut. Oman. Nov. 11.
