! Now Let the House Concur.
Willi commendable promptness thc ciule
restored to lite tax reduction bill the item ap
propriating $75lV.)0 for road improvement work,
which bad been omitted by the house in antici
pution of favorable action on the gasoline tax
measure. Now that the latter has been defeated,
the house should quickly agree with the senate,
in order that the important work of bettering the
highway of the state should not lag.
Last week. The Bee published opinion of
editors, representing all sections of the state,
and of different pojitical views, yet unanimous
for good roads. This unquestionably represents
the sentiment of the people of the state. Ne
braska has proceeded far along the way to better
means of transportation, and should not hesitate
to go the rest ot thc way. Douglas county has
set a splendid example, by appropriating a sum
almost equal to the entire amount spent by the
state in its co-operation with the federal govern-
ment, the greater part of this being borne by
" the city of Omaha, but every penny of it is being
spent on roads outside the city. This will dis
arm any assertion that Omaha has a selfish in
terest in the good roads program.
Every argument that was made for the proj
ect in the beginning is still potent.' The first
cost of transportation, and the heaviest, is tiiaf of
getting the produce of the farm to the primary
market. Well surfaced highways, with easy
gradients, and of a quality that is serviceable in
all weather, mean money in the farmer's pocket,
because such roads reduce the cost of hauling.
These roads of necessity must be made a little
at a time, but eventually the state" will be cov
ered, and the benefits will be enjoyed by all.
Let the house show its appreciation of one
of the farmer's real problems by promptly insur
ing the continuation of road improvement.
Not a Democratic Victory.
Nebraska's legislature consists of 129 repub
licans and four democrats. It is, almost unani
mously, a republican legislature; the democratic'
minority is negligible in both numbers and in
fluence. When thc legislature acts, its act is an
act by. republicans.
This basic fact is worth remembering when'
,one appraises the 'work of the legislature and
analyzes the carping of its critics. There is no
ground for any claim by any democratic official
or spokesman that the democrats have any hand
in the decisions of the legislature or deserve any
credit ' therefor. The republicans, by the vote
of November, 1920, were given responsibility for
conducting the state government; they must take
the blame for errors, if any have been made, and
they are entitled to commendation for the
achievements. .
' Democratic hurrahs over the defeat of thc
governor's gasoline tax bill are beside the point.
Democrats did, not defeat it. Republicans defeated
it If the tax was proper and in accord with public
.sentiment, then the republicans will suffer be
cause they failed to adopt it. If. the tax was
ixproper and unpopular, then the republicans are
it. Democratic spokesmen can not, at one and
entitled to and will receive credit for defeating
the same time, condemn the tax and condemn the
republican legislature for agreeing with them.
Reduction of City Taxes.
A most natural impulse is leading the real
estate owners and dealers in Omaha to look over
not only tax collections but expenditures of
public funds. One thing should be understood
at the outset, and that is that in a growing com
munity, such as Omaha, the total tax collection
is not likely to be diminished, but increased with
each passing year, as the expanding needs of the
community require that additional funds be
raised to meet them.
What can be done, however, is to secure a
more economical and efficient expenditure of the
money raised, and this is only possible through
better organization and administration .of the
local government. As we understand it, such is
contained in the contemplated activity of the
Omaha Real Estate board. Duplications and
overlaps are to be looked up, to the end that
waste in this regard be reduced to a minimum,
and a more dependable system of administration
is to be proposed, that money now unnecessarily
used may be kept in the general fund for use
where it is more needed. Such an investigation
should be welcome to all. It has the hearty ap
proval of The Bee, for it will inevitably lead to
the plan consistently advocated by this paper,
that of a city manager. Only when all the busi
ness affairs of the city are centered in one con
trol, and that control invested with ample power
for doing what is needed, will the city obtain the
relief that is demanded.
City manager does not mean 'that the voters
are to be deprived of their rights in government;
it dott mean that they will employ an agent,
holding hint re.ponsiblt fur the handling of the
puiaet t( the city, nd clothing him iih such
power and authority at it needed t properly
ditrharte his function, II an tiawptt is needed,
it ii afforded by the Metropolitan Utilities dis
trict, which provide! the dutmct contratt of

Good Work Well Forwarded.
Approval of the limitation of arms conference
of the treaty letting limits to the naval forces
of the great powrri, and dealing with tht use
of submarines, and aircraft and outlawing gat
and chemical warfare rnarkt a great step for
ward (or humanity. The cmt drtaili of the
naval armament are not important, save lo tech
niciant. They follow the original Hughes' pro
gram. What concern the people ii that eompe
tition in building of warships is at an end for
ten yean, and thi ought to mean for all time.
Great tavingi in Us burden will be effected,
and the money rtlea.e d for use in way of peace.
America i entitled to full credit for the outcome.
President Harding called the conference, and
Secretary Hughe presented the program that
made the world gasp, and now an American idea
hat triumphed because of straightforward meth
ods. Other good i coming out of the confer
ence, but the work to far done exceeds anything
achieved for humanity in many centuries.
Election of a Pope.
According to schedule, one of the most inter
Citing of all Christian ceremonies will com
me ncc in Rome today. It it the selection of the
man who will be recognized a head of the treat
organization known at the Roman Catholic
church. The election it of as much concern to
non-Catholic at it is to Catholics, for the dif
ference between a liberal and a conservative, if
such terms may be applied to the nature of the
supreme pontiff, will have a direct effect on th?
progress of Christianity. No expectation is en
tertained that any pope will abandon the tradi
tional aspect of the church toward dissenters.
Protestants of every shade will be regarded at
Rome as in error, but the method for correcting
that error may vary materially, and so it it even
those who assume indifference to the attitude of
the Roman Catholic church will be at least
mildly interested in the character of its new head.
The Italian government has announced that
it has no interest in the election. This seems
gratuitous, but is brought out, perhaps, by the
stories that parties were forming at the Vatican,
dividing on the line of rapprochement or holding
aloof front the Quirinat. Such a policy is the
concern exclusively of thc church, rather than
of the civil government in any sense. Har
monious relations between the government of
Italy and the hierarchy should not involve the
administration of the secular affairs of the king
dom.
Many names have been mentioned, and per
haps among them that of the successor to the
throne of St. Peter. One thing is certain, who
ever may be designated by the votes of the car
dinals assembled, he will be well versed in world
affairs, well advised and equally well served, to
the end that he may in turn well fill his high
office.
Inquiry Into Road Costs.
The smirch of scandal is about to be re
moved from Nebraska's road building program.
That much is made certain by the action of the
state administration in arranging an investiga
tion of the public works department by the very
men who have been its outstanding critics. There
can be but two results: Either the critics will
be silenced by the collapse of their charges or
the accusations will be sustained, with resulting
reform of the department. In either case the
people of the state win.
It took courage for the state officials under
fire to invite and virtually insist upon an inves
tigation by men listed already among their ac
cusers. , The fact that they did so indicates their
own conviction that their work will stand the
test. The public hope now is that the investi
Kators get down to work, forget personal ani
mosities and do a job of real service to the state.

Good morning, Mr. Groundhog 1
(From tht Ntw York Timet)
That thie4 politician, Henjamit Di.racli,
onc remarked on the readineit ol public men to
predict great coming changes. The teadinrtt, in
his opinion, often verged on credulity. The event
huh ihey wi.hrd to see they too easily lore
taw, $oiiK-hiiig of that attitude it now on dis
play in tin. country. A great deal of talk in
nfwn.prr and where political gonipt most do
congregate center upon the prubable break-up
uf our leading political panic. All tort of evi
dence it adduced. The alert gentlemen who are
prepared to lead the new parties of their imagina
lion pounce upon every snap of fact or rumor
going to show that the old parties are about to
duapprar. A Cuvirr could reconstruct an en
tire animal from a stray bone, to ihee political
inatoinuUa are already describing the liberal
radical party, or the progressive-conservative
parly, a )l if were certain to mult from the
caual bit that they find tying about. I or ex
ample. irnator Kenyon of Iowa goe to Spring
field, Mm., to make a speech, and in it declare
that the republican party need new blood. Thi
I at once taken a a feroriou attack upon Sena
tor Lodk-e; And hi parttnaiit in Massachusetts
are pictured at thrown into great doubt about
the possibility of hi re-election. Another bony
fragment i picked up on the return of Senator
Johnson from California. He make known hi
quahtied opposition to the Washington treaties,
and it is immediately inferred that he is out to
get President Harding. I here t no end. in
fact, to the political portents of thi kind which
can be described by those who are on the watch
frir thm
The whole thing ha the air of a political sur
vival. Some people reason that it is only natural
to expect lhat what happened to President Taft
toward the end of hi term will happen to Presi
dent Harding at the beginning of his. And it i
noticeable that several of those who are now
most keen on the tcrnt of oarty revolutions had
a part in the progressive movement of 1912. That
old animus i still upon them. They long for
troubles a the prelude to reorganizations in
which they shall be prominent as before, and in
evitably find the troubles for which they are
searching. When any question of their perfect
political sagacity is raised they think it sufficient
to say: Vvhy, don t you believe that History
repeats itself; sometimes it does, and some
time it doesn't. If these persons are so sure
that it does, they ought to study more carefully
what befell the old populist party, the silver
republicans, and latterly the Nonpartisan league.
Each of these movements was heralded as a
thunderbolt to cleave the political earth asunder,
but the years soon passed and the tough old
sphere revealed hardly a scar.
In reality, what we are witnessing in congress
and iu some of the states is not a true political
revolution. It is thus far little more than a
flurry of agitation. There is undoubted discon
tent within the republican party, as there is also
plenty within the democratic and all other par
ies. Men who are intensely dissatisfied natur--
tlly want to change and the first change they
think of is political, but thus lar, at least, the
affair has not moved out of the vague. There is
no proof of that consensus of minds and crystal
line of decisions which must precede the for
mation of. an effective new political party. Wre
say nothing of its possible leadership. At present
that fairly shines by its absence. And while
there arc members of both 'parties who show
themselves resentful at the present management
and disposed to kick over the traces, it would be
rash to predict that they could be got to work
together for any cause under any commander.
The process tinder our eyes is evidently one
rather of division than of union. Even in the
farmers' conference at Washington there were
instantly signs of sharp differences and the split
ting up into factions.
bo lone as these characteristics are clearly
shown by those who fly the flrg of revolt, the
eeular armies have little to tear, it is only a
question of time when the guerrilla bands now
shooting off so much ammunition out in the Un
derbrush will desire to come back into camp and
obey orders. This is not to deny that political
difficulties confront the Harding administration
or that the republican party is in danger of re
ceiving damaging blows. , But nothing very
critical or conclusive can occur before next No
vember. In the meantime the threats and menac
ing gestures of the trouble makers may be smiled
at or ignored except, of course, by the super
naturally wise prophets who .see the end of all
things at hand.

Caarritkl. US I. fcy lr, W, A, Evan,
Tom Watson's Show
It is good news that the senate committee
which is investigating the charges made by Sen
ator Watson of Georgia against the army will
wind up its work. It has been the sorriest
spectacle ever presented, though senate commit
tees have held silly or condcmnable investiga
tions before now. The sole object of the Geor
gia Watson (weso style him to prevent any con
fusion with the sane and sensible senator from
Indiana) seems to have been to besmirch the
army, and the committee has let him have his
head. The original charge was that men had
been hanged without trial; but he has been per
mitted to introduce any sort of grievance, till
the climax was reached on Thursday by a soldier
who complained that his officer wanted his room
painted in colors that could not be obtained.
Watson has marshaled all his neurotics in the
army to testify about their delusions, and the
press has been obliged to report imaginings
which injure the reputations of honest men. The
people who read the original charges may not
have read the subsequent disproof, and so much
harm has been done. There were "hard-boiled"
officers in the army and there were neurotic of
ficers as well as neurotic men, and every bit of
bad language or unnecessary force or brutality
on the part of any officer has been paraded to
"rend and tear the army's honest fame," to use
the memorable language of John Hay on an
other occasion. -
The result has been to clear the army in the
mind of any fair reader. The hangings were
legal and after due trial. Tne occasional brutali
ties were the unfortunate incidents which, hap
pen in every association of millions of men in
arms. The sad sight which' Watson has forced
upon the country, his parade of neurotic men
with wounded minds and jangled nerves, some
of whom went to pieces and begged for mercy
on the witness stand, his dragging of shell shock
and nervous prostration into the limelight, is a
thing which never can be torgiven by men witn
kind hearts. Philadelphia Ledger. ;

The danger changes considerably.
and old women are In more danger
than young once. Xeverthelesa, ac
cording to the law of averages, if
47 women, each 65 years old, were
to have babies, only one of the
women would die; or. to put It
strikingly, If rather inaccurately, a
woman at 65 should have 47 babies
before dying In childbirth.
But in no age period Is childbirth
as safe for the mother as it should
be.
In fact. Dr. De Lee thinks how
ever the rest of the world may con
sider it, and without discussing the
reason for it the doctor must look
at childbirth as a pathologic or dis
ease process rather than as a nat
ural process, if he is to give good
service.
Dr. Howard's studies prove that
our women have twice as high a
death rate in labor as do the women
of England and Wales.
In fact, we seem to have the high
est death, rate among women, as a
result of childbirth, of all the na
tions that consider themselves civi
lized.
Dr. Howard finds that the women
who dwell in cities run 10 per cent
more risk than do those who live in
the country.
The colored women have a higher
death rate than the whijes both in
viit- i;ujr anu vuuiuf j'.
The principal disease cause for
our excessive hazards, as compared
with England and Wales, are al
bumlnaria, or Brlght'B disease
puerperal convulsions, and septi'
cemia.
This means that our women
should be examined more frequently
before confinement, especially that
hey should have urine examinations.
He argues for better facilities for the

the personality of the attendant. He

Is Tumulty Grooming Hoover?
The rumor that America's newest, most pre
tentious author, Mr. Joseph Tumulty, was td re
turn to political activity as the manager of Mr.
Herbert Hoover's presidential aspirations, would
indicate' that it is not alone in finance and art
that the world is topsy-turvy. There was no one
that Mr. Wilson and his followers were more
bitter against in the last year of the Wilson ad
ministration than this same Mr. Hoover. That
ex-President Wilson has forgiven him what he
regarded as his desertion of the cause of the
League of Nations is not possible. It there is
any truth in the rumor ana we are assurea
there is, it would seem that the Wilson follow
ers have decided to cut out on their own. It will
be interesting to see how far they are able to go
without the very able but misguided hand of the
man 'who reposed confidence in them.
Mr. Hoover, of course, must be aware of such
a program and must realize that a campaign for
the presidency conducted under these auspices
will hardly strengthen him with those who have
republican leanings. Forum. .

War Still Rages Here.
The superdreadnought Tennessee
is manned entirely by natives of the
state after which the ship is named.
Recruiting parties were, sent from
New; Xrk and toured Tennessee,
from the blue grass lowlands to the
mountain homes of the "ridge run
ners." Coming in to a small moun
tain town by automobile a party of
the navy recruiters were halted by
a native with a suspicious look in
his eye and a squirrel rifle in his
hand. Uniformed men are not met
with a brass band. '
Said the mountaineer: "Strangers,
where be ye from, what's y'r busi
ness and how long y' gwine ter
stay?"
Replied the spokesman of the
navy party: "We're navy recruiters.
W'e're going to run down a lot of
your young men, put pants on em,
and enlist 'em in the navy."
Queried the mountaineer: "vVhat
navy?v North . or South?" Our
