'At the Farm Conference.
Preliminary utterances, presaging the meeting
of the farm conference, which gets together at
Wa.hington today, do not inspire hope for real
results. The antidote for this is the thought
that when the men and women uihn m.U
the body get together something of a" construc
tive nature will isue. Secretary Wallace scold

well-known fact tlia farm prices are too low,
that the farmer was deflated too rapidly, and
that money is required to carry on agricultural
operations, it will be of very little service.
,vill help by considering' the future. Co-operative
marketing, diversification of crops, the addition
of dairying, and other remedies have bcenVig
gested. All of these have merit, but each must
"be applied in a practical way.. Co-operation in
marketing, for example, requires capital and man
agement, and demands the rigid application of
fundamental business principles, if it is to be
successful. 'i Crop I diversification , implies the
necessity of a market, and this in turn includes
the element of transportation. Dairying involves
the same factors, and all tend in the same direc
tion. The farmer must be able to personally
finance a greater fart of his undertakings, and

Capital furnished by the banks is available,
but it is expensive, for the banker gets the profit
that accrues from the farm operation, and not
Jhe farmer. The only way out is the slov one
of work and employment of earnings as far
as possible until the point is reached where the,
farm is independent of the bank.

what th,e farmer wants to know, and what the
delegates at Washington should try to 'discover.
A New Race of Public Speakers.
Those whose interest or ; curiosity has led
them to attend any of the agricultural
meetings that t are so numerous during the
winter slack must have been struck by the abil
ity of these farmers as speakers. Carl R. Gray,
president of the Union Pacific railroad, .during
his recent visit to the meetings of organized agriculture-
at Lincoln, remaf-ked on the fluency and
clearness with which the speakers there ex
pressed themselves. .
The township and community meetings, the
conventions of the various co-operative associa
tions and the local political rallies are opening
up more and more, the opportunity for public
speaking. What once was a monopoly of law
yers is theirs no longer. There have always
been a few able and fiery orators among the
farmers, but the new breed is more numerous,
and just as effective, although less flowery and
long-winded and more practical". Their intense
earnestness,' together with the racy humor of the
soil gives them real power. ; .
In a recent address before the Community
club of Harvard, Neb., Prof, J. P. Senning of
the University Si Nebraska touched on the im
portance of this training in public discussion."
Out of these meetings, he declared, will, come
leaders able to take an active part in state and
national affairs. , In the clash of opinion at these
little neighborhood gatherings a good deal may
be learned of ,. current problems. Prof. Senning
touched a vital truth when he advised that the
logical place for young men and women to learn
leadership is in their own communities.
Cost of Road Improvement.
The offer of th governor to all who are
intrrcMed of an opportunity to participate in a
great cost finding conteit with a view to estab
Hiding wlikh ia the more expensive to con
struct, atate or county-built road, may produce
result, hut probably will not. Ai long ai a
belief prevail that a precinct can do better work
than the county, and the county better work than
the ttate, just that long will we have the hodge
podge of highway that hat proved to costly in
the pt.
When the ttate entered into an arrangement
with the federal government, tome seven yeart
ago, on the dollar-matching bash, the under
Mandiug wat that a great network of highway!
wat to be built up, little at a time, until finally
the ttate would have nothing but good road.
County trait were first to be connected, then
the smaller communities, and finally a system
would be perfected that would serve everybody,
It was not the thought then, nor it it now, that
Nebraska would give first place to the great
transcontinental mainline. It is really the farra
to-niarket road that is aimed at, but this can
not all be produced at once. Some sections must
wait on others.
State and county methods of accounting are
different, just as tpecificationt and plana vary,
The Bee has consistently advocated central con
trol of highway construction under the state
engineer, that uniform methods and results may
be attained. Only through some euch scheme
will the taxpayers finally get the worth of their
money. If left to the localities to decide what
and how roads are lo be improved, regardless
of their relation to one another, confusion and
waste must result. Our highway system will be
a mosaic of varying notions and fail of attain
ing the serviceability of a well planned unified
construction.
Nebraska can not afford to abandon or go
backward in its road building, and the inde
pendent county plan is'flangerous.
"America for Americans."
Chicago is going to have no foreign dictation
as to its opera, not if Mary Garden can prevent
it. Of course, Wary being a true American,
born in Scotland, where all true Americans
come from, including Sir 'Arry Lauder another
noted song-bird, although he sings for Omaha
and Mary will not We are comforted by the
thought that she is going to uphold the tradi
tions of the native opera at all hazards.
It is high time that somebody came forth to
achieve this. For many, too many years we have
been taking our tempo from the effete and de
cadent Europeans. Verdi and Wagner, Puccini
and Bizet,'. Mascagni and, Strauss, and all that
outfit, have crowded the native talent entirely into
the discard. George M. Cohan and Irving Berlin
have had to take second place, while Thurlow
Lieurance and Rosamond Johnson must be con
tent with writing an occasional lyric and never
aspiring to opera. Moreover, songbirds whose
birthright entitled them to the use of a good
American name have found it necessary to adopt
a manufactured patronymic that smacked of for
eign flavor to get a hearing. All this Chicago s.
own Mary Garden proposes to change. Lucien
Muratore is a remarkable tenor, but if he ever
gargles for the edification of Chicago hereafter,
it will be under the Stars and Stripes and not
the tri-color. - V - '. ,.f. -.
We like to put aside the thought that per
haps the fact that Lucien is the successful second
or third husband of Lina Cavaleri, herself a
cantatrice of no mean attainments, may have
something to do with the revolt suddenly stirred
up in the opcra' company that used to cost the
Harold McCormicks around half a million dol
lars a year. It is just possible, you know, that
what Mary means by "no foreign dictation" is
that she will say when Lina may sing and when
she woif't.- And out of that grows the trouble.
Just for the present the roster of. the Chicago
Opera company reads like a voting list in
one of the polyglot precincts rather than a roll
call of the descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers.
However, this can be remedied, '
By II. R. BALDWIN,
Your article lieaued "Jerusalem, if I Forget
Thee," giving a description ol Lieut. Vladimir
;atowtuisky ana In message or last week, was
read by me with great interest. It recalled
to mind an editorial in The fire 17 yeart ago

which the wntrr entitled the Zionism of thoe
days, "tremied," because of thir intense long

tpacc of practical endorsement in the tame paper
mat men cnaracirrueq it liCIUtr u,
My reply to that article appeared in the issue
of August 5, 1905, and read in part a follows.
ana is even more in point today: "the reading
of your article aroused and intensified old-time
ffeling of pity, sympathy and hope; pity for

ot uivuie intervention' in human artatrs; tym
pathy with those Israelites, who. dcfoite cen
turiet of oppression and wrongs, still keep alive

they believe they are oteadily moving,'
"Their exhibition of faith in the Divine is
to me sublime and taken together with the
promises upon which they rely, adds new strength
to my own hope that tt may be in my own time
I thai! tee their faith honored, their hones real
ized and the national entity of the Israel of God
and of prophecy fully established; and that,
too, in the dear old laud of scattered Israel's
desire. One promise alone is to me sufficiently
clear and explicit as to leave no room for doubt
at to the Divine intention; albeit the time seems
long in our reckoning that leads to its fulhllmrnt.
For as a day of the Lord it as a thousand years.
our concept of time must be broadened and we
should not throw faith to the winds because of
the apparent slowness of fulfillment. The word
of God in Jeremiah reads 'Therefore, behold the
days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no
more say, the Lord liveth, which brought up the
Children of Israel out of the land of Kgypt; but
the Lord liveth which brought up and which led
the seed of the house of Israel out of the north
country, and from all countries whither I had
driven them, and they shall dwell in their own
land.
"That promise is still unfulfilled, but to me
there is nothing more certain than that it shall
be. Another point ufion which we need broad
ening of vision is the land of promise itself.
The land of promise extends from the Euphrates
to the River of Egypt, and embraces within its
area the most central, and as a consequence the
most valuable of the land surface of the clobe.
It is not mere sentiment for so-called holy places
that is the motive back of , Europeans desire
for control. Modern peoples have learned to set
value upon places for other than sentimental
reasons; and Jerusalem in the hands of a pro
gressive, commercial people would soon become
a rival of London as a trade center and a clear
ing house for the world. Zionism is not frenzied;
it is rather the focusing of faith, the persistence
of hope, that will, sooner than we expect perhaps
be crowned with a glorious realization."
Since writing the above, many most wonderful
happenings have taken place. The handi that so
ruthlessly signed orders for Jew killmes and
burnings by thousands in recent years, lie rot
ting in unknown and unhonored graves; and the
nation, 'whose will was thus expressed, has
gone to pieces without apparent hope of recon
struction. Another still greater power, which
compelled the Jews so unfortunate as to be scat
tered among thein, to live within the limits of its
Judcn strasses, has gone to smithereens, both
receiving more condign punishment than that
once proud mistress of the sea, Spain, now so
insignificant as not to be reckoned amongst the
powers. But to take up for a few moments
the Jewish return: Our friends, the Jews, never
refer to that other and much larger branch of
the chosen race when speaking of their return
to their old home " land, whereas, anvone but
slightly familiar - with the. early history of the
people cannot fail to see that the Tew. or House
of Judah, is but a small part of the whole. That
the distinction remains in force is apparent from
the fact that, as God speaking through the
prophet said: "The House of Judah shall walk
to the House of Israel and they shall come to
gether to the land that I have given for an in
heritance Ho your fathers."
In this connection we may ask: to what peo
ple have the Jews been going in recent years
in ever-increasing numbers to be met kindly and
assisted? Great Britain and United States of
America have practically had their doors open
to the weary refugees from all lands for many
years have given them also a fair field in ail
branches of industry and allowed their elevation
to post of distinction; hence it is not a rare
thing to find a Jew among titled nobility and
occupying places of trust such as governor gen
eral in Great Britain, and the United States of
America has one seated in her supreme court, this

what causes hernia?
Hirach gives two creat causes and

Congenital laxity of the parts. Peo
ple are born that way, rr rather they
are born of a makeup which render
it almost certain that they will get
that way. - '
Home peoples have a "national In
heritance of anatomical peculiari
ties." Love and Davenport speak of
the ranfry build of Scandinavians as
especially predisposing to hernia.
The other ia bodily strain such
as hard work, heavy lifting and
mountain climbing. , .
Ilirsch tells of a Swiss practice
which causes many hernia in peo
ple built that way. They roll a
heavy load of hay into a bundle, put
a rope around it, lie down on a hill
side below the bundle, and by a
combination snappy jump and roll,
stand up with the bundle on the
shoulder.
What causes strangulation? In
strangulation, the escaped parts are
caught at the neck of the hernia in
such a way as to shut oft the blood
supply and squeeze the tissues.
The danger is great in strangula
tion. Death results unless tho
strangulation is quickly reduced or
an operation Is done with the great
est dispatch. If operation is done
early, the probability is that life will

LouisviHe Courier-Journal,
There are, therefore, two miehty national

of wrong treatment of the' Jews. There are, to

are endeavoring to stir UP a spirit of hatred for
'the Jew, but the nation's, leaders continue to
show their confidence in him. Great Britains
Allenby in the late war captured Jerusalem from
the Turk; never again, let us hope, to return to
him, and Great Britain's mandatory relation to
the Holy Land is a guarantee of protection to
all home returning Jews.

land is put under modern management and treat
ment; but let us include the Euphratean valley
and the possibility of support quickly jumps to
many millions more and this place is also under
the mandate to Great Britain; so, the future
takes on a wonderfully cheerful aspect for our
friend the Jew. However, we must not forget
that the ultimate happiness of the House of
Judah as also of the House of Israel depends
upon their acceptance of Jesus, the Son of God
and Son of David as the Christ of God. Thence

On the Colored AVorker's Sldo.
Omaha, Jan. 20. To tho Editor
The Bee: To the readers of
this paper I want to say some
thing in defense of tho colored union
man after reading the letter by
A. 11. Nelson, an employe of one of
tne packing house plants, of -South
Omaha, - , '
Right here, I say that if the
writer is a packing house employe,
a strike breaker, as the world is
tailing ilimu rl men kt out In

J. tl. lavU, It. K. Hunter and Mr.
tliirn told thcin, l.iuu people, to
think well of thrir own coinlltluna
and that the union had 110 inoni-
to fiRtit a H of iiifn. They remind

inl when thry wer called on to
vote they voted "rtrlke" to a man
I mm aura that the writer of thla,
lit jtiatlc to all, wa not in thl
meeting, for there I not allowed In
lhat Union temple anything in the
shape of human being but real men
nd women that place can't stand
the man or woman who ha lot
their man or womanhood.
Now, to colored men and women:
Two and on-half year ago Morrla
& Company ent a telegram to in
Morrl office at Omaha, telling
them to dieeharge each negro
woman In their plant. Tney am
It at once and they have not
allowed a negro woman any closer
to tha office that to gl pay check
brlonglng to their men. Hut now
Ihey are holding them In there llko
hog In a pen. I am holding a nmy
worn statement with notary public
seal on it, from an old colored
woman 07 year old, telling of a
certain slick little colored gent of
North Omaha calling otv'her daugh
ter who will be 17 years old In
October. 1922. wanting to pay thla
child 50 to go out to the plant and
dance for tho strike breaker.
Maybe the writer ia one of the
cIhss of men who have k-t all re
apect for womanhood. But when
he tells it In print that ha don t love
. negro, and real negroe don't love
hi kind tne ooncr tno woria i
left without uch people tho better
it win be orr.
Now to tho whole world: I want
to state that colored men and women
working as strike breaker In the
packing houses don't belong to the
class of real men and women of the
negro race of Omaha.
Now tho colored man received
more out of the union than he ha
put in it. and the writer is like the
old saying that it 1 bad when a dog
will bite the hand that feeds htm,
for thut Is what all backing house
workers have been eolng who don't
belong to the union. The union gets
their overtime, their back time and
all raises in wages, and then the
scabs will pay nothing, but bite the
band that feeds them. No man like
A. f Nelson, ns he calls himself.

round nothing but overalls, and
their women looking like rag dolls.
