Are We Governed Too Much?
A great hullabaloo is heard about the regula
tions and restrictions laid on the people of Ne
braska, and the hardship and expense entailed
by the law-cnfoscing machinery. Let us look
into the matter.
In the good old days it was not an uncom
mon thing to run across a bushel measure that
held only a little over three pecks. Many a
"pound" package was disposed of the contents
of which weighed only thirteen ounces. Tint
measures were found that held but three gills,
and gallons were correspondingly short. Coun
ter scales had nice packages of lead foil under
the pan, and all sorts of subterfuges were worked,
in this fashion. Spices were found to consist
largely of adulterants, such as ground cocoanut
shells masquerading as pepper, and even so
common and cheap an article of food as table
salt was vitiated by a cheaper substance. Sugar
contained starch and terra alba, and so it went
through all the list. -
- Farmers were victimized by sharpers who un
loaded diseased animals on them, or through
fraudulent claims of high breeding. Nebraska
was a dumping ground for all sorts of inferior or
deleterious stuff, and the people suffered and
rebelled. Housewives clamored for protection
against unscrupulous and dishonest dealers,
farmers rose up against the frauds practiced on
them, and rules and regulations were made to
control the dealings between mart and man, the
law compelling honesty as far as possible. Un
fortunately, no law is self-enforcing. Nebraskans,
deliberately voted in favor of prohibition, and
then as deliberately set about to nullify the law
they had created. Boards and inspectors are not
only necessary, but are kept constantly em-v
ployed in trying to protect the people.
If it is desirable to go back to the dear old
times, when every form of cheating was prac
ticed and the swindlers prospered, all that is
needed is the enactment of an omnibus measure
to repeal all tho laws that arc designed to pro
tect the public against fraud, malpractice and
deceit, and restore the harsh rule of "caveat
emptor" let the buyer .beware. Short of that,
there must be machinery to enforce the law. If
we are governed too much, it is our own fault.
Politics in the Farm Conference.
While Governor Parker of Louisiana is prais
ing President Harding and Secretary Wallace
for abstaining from politics in selecting dele
gales to the farm conference now in progress
at Washington, Delegate Wannamaker of South
Carolina is doing his utmost to give the gather
ing a partisan bias. This astute and perspicacious
individual, who hails from a section of. the coun
try where politics as such do not exist, sees in
the conference a clever - scheme for breaking
down the influence of the farm bloc in congress.
His disclosure is timely, and now that he has
warned not only his co"delegates and the mem
bers of congress concerned, but the country
and world as welt, we may expect to see the
nefarious machinations of Warren G. Harding
brought to naught. It is pitiful, though, to see
men, picked as representative of their communi
ties and as having at heart the true intertst of
the entire country, commit themselves to such
pettiness. The connection between , the farm
bloc and the farmer conference is ' too far
fetched. Nothing the president has said or done;
either when a senator or since he has been presi
dent, warrants ascribing to him any ulterior mo
tive in his effort to restore prosperity to the
farm. He is as patriotic and devoted to the
country he serves as anyone else in the country,
and he knows that no class can permanently
' prosper at the expense of another. It is share
and share alike, and when depression hits the
farmer, it hits everybody. However, it is not
unsafe to assume that Mr. Wannamaker is a
democrat, and as such tinctured with that pe
culiar quality that leads to suspicion of anything
a republican president may or may not do.
. Make the Streets Safe.
"I propose to make the streets of Omaha safe
for 'women," said a judge of the district court,
sentencing a culprit to prison. The prisoner had
been found guilty of beating a woman on the
streets, and the judge gave him sixty days to
think it over, the last five on bread and water.
Such administration of justice may build up in
the minds of degenerates a wholesome dread of
getting caught, and so be efficacious in establish
ing safety on the streets tor women. But the
streets should be as secure for men, and a little
more of the same sort of treatment may have
the effect of removing some of the danger that
now exists. The menace of the footpad, the
robber who does not hesitate to shoot or club
his victim, is recognized, and is too common a
part of pur city life these days, Omaha is not
peculiar in this regard, for every city in tht land
tuffcr from tht epidemic cl crime of violence
g-tiittt penon and property, Whatever ths
cauie, the remedy liei in item and unrelenting
punishment of the offender! when thry are ap.
prehended. The police art not powerleia, nor
inefficient, lut they are not encouraged when
they tee tht fruits of their diligence dittipated by
mistaken leniency, Mercy ihould tver season
justice, but the true precept tetehri to be Juit
before being generom.
When Power Ptiiei.
The esteemed Boston Transcript, and the
equally revered New York Times, were deeply
pained when the senate passed the bill amending
the Federal Reserve act. Each of these great
newspapers is pained to note the monster of sec
tionalism and class government, rearing id hor
rid head, once more rampant in America. The
Transcript particularly notes that, according to
the vote, New England and New York are cut
from the rest of the country and are become
"outsiders."
All this because an imposing majority of the
senators of the United States voted that it would
not be improper lor the president to appoint
"dirt" farmer to the board, and prepared the way
for such appointment by adding one more to
the number compossjg the board. The Tran
script is comforted by the thought that such
farmer may be as conservative as any banker on
the board, but is apprehensive because of the
class or sectional control implied by the action.
What really ails both the editors referred to
is that the great empire on this side of the
Alleghanies has attained mature stature and is
able to do something for itself besides pay tribute
to industrial New England and New York. So
long as the handle of the spoon was controlled
around Boston, while folks out west took any
medicine it might contain, the situation was all
right from New England' point of view. But
the scene has changed, power has passed over the
range, and instead of resting along the coast line
from. Bangor to Sandy Hook, it is now fairly
well settled' over the Mississippi valley.
This power will not be used to the detriment
of any section of .the country, but if there is
any advantage in possessing it, the middle west
proposes to share in that advantage. This is
both a producing and a consuming region; we
sell to New England, and we buy from them,
and we expect to deal with them as equals, citi
zens of one country, and not as poor relations
or inhabitants of another quarter of the earth.
And, as The Bee already has stated, there is no
good' reason why the finances of the country
should be the exclusive care of the bankers.
What Really Ails India.
Lord Northcliffe has touched exactly on the
cause of the unrest in India. Laying aside as
negligible the so-called Hindu aspirations for
self-determination, he moves at once to the Mo
hammedan element. This he finds to be for the
first time in history allied with the Hindu,
and for the reason that it is opposed to Chris
tian presence in Asia Minor. Back of it all lies a
movement that has for its purpose the restora
tion of the Turk in control of all he forfeited
during the war.
Resting the agitation on the necessity of
Mussulman controt of the three holy cities,
Mecca, Medina and Bagdad, the clever politicians
of the caliphate at once extend that to inchide
the revival of the broken down Turkish empire,
with political as well as religious domination
over Palestine, Syria, ; Smyrna and Armenia.
Agitators who are going about in America, mak
ing a great effort to enlist casual sympathy- for
the Indian uprising are at great pains to conceal
the ulterior motive that is underneath the effort.
Restore the Turk to the position, he held prior
to 1914, and we will quickly see the dissolution
of the partnership he now holds with the Hindu.'
Remove British influence from India, and we
will soon note the disappearance of all. Chris
tianity has been able to do in that land for the
amelioration- of the condition under which the
masses live.
To revive the control of the Turk in Asia'
Minor, and to again give over the millions of
India to the mercies of native rulers and priests
may seem attractive to the unthinking, who
translate self-determination into terms that are
intolerable to advancing civilization, but such a
step will certainly add to the confusion in which
the world welters.
Pope's Simple Life.
Details of the daily life of Pope Benedict
XV, published after his death, add his name to
that long list of successful men who have
achieved great things while pursuing a personal
regime best described by a single word sim
plicity. The daily routine of Pope Benedict was
almost rigorous in its simplicity. His diet was
light, his recreation was confined mostly to walks
in the gardens of the Vatican, his relaxations
were conversations with his fellow clergy and
certain laymen, and with it all he had the
strength for a vast amount of work.
, It is a story grown almost common because
of its frequent reiteration in the review of the
lives of notable men. Men great in scholarship,
in industry and even in politics have found suc
cess not by spectacular means for the most part
and certainly not by excesses of pleasure. A sim
ple life has been the solid foundation for steady
achievement.
The World-Herald has made a remarkable
discovery. Governor McKelvie does not plan to
save money he is only going to refrain from
spending more than is needed for an economical
administration of state affairs.
Florida and Georgia kukluckers continue to
.uphold the traditions of white supremacy by
mobbing negroes who engage in anything but
menial labor. Such is civilization's influence 1
That young Massachusetts socialist who could
resist a . million dollars showed himself to be
human by falling for a vamp.
Legislators may approach the task they are
called to in a spirit of levity, but the people are
looking for relief.
Telling the farmers they are in a hole is no
service. What they want' to know is how to
get out.
Old King Ak-Sar-Ben is after recruits again,
and is not having a bit of trouble finding them.
Looks like Governor McKelvie also had some
blocs to deal with.

Creating Wealth by Spending.
After the civil war this country entered upon
a period of tremendous expansion of railroads
and industries, and in doing this increased its
wealth so rapidly as to be able to pay off its
debt far in advance of what would have been
possible under any niggardly system of with
holding money from wise expenditures of that
kind. We can today better afford to create
wealth by large construction undertakings than
we can afford to skin down to the narrow
est possible point in order to save. There is
a withholding that leads to poverty: there is a
wise expenditure that leads to prosperity. The
building of the Nicaraguan canal, the develop
ment of Muscle Shoals, making the Tennessee
river available for transportation, the improve
ment of the St. Lawrence as proposed, giving the
west a direct water route to the ocean would
all, we believe, come tinder the head of wise ex
penditures, viewed from every possible angle.

In a number of American cities
there are now ntatutes providing for

movement is one that appears to bo

convention of firemen which is well
worth reprinting:. He said:

is observed in handling the milk,
and a special, extra laboratory' test
is made on the finished product
before it is delivered to your grocer.

price with other standard brands.
Even when your grocer pays more
for it he sells it to you at the regu
lar price because he , knows its
purity guarantees satisfaction to
his best trade.
