Civc the Army a Rest.
If tlie nation i to preserve an efficient mili
tary establishment on a peace basin, the result
will be accomplished better by giving to the men
who are in the army some assurance that their
ervice J appreciated. So long as disturbing
announcements conic from Washington, emanat
ing from congressmen who are looking more for
personal than for general benefit, that long the
men who wear the uniform will be uneasy and
Incapable of giving their best attention to the
business they have in hand. If the army is to
be disbanded, the approach should be direct.
No army in all the world is more efficiently
officered than that of the United States. Critics
talk glibly of young men having lately entered
the service, of rapid promotion, and all that,
overlooking the conditions under which these
young men took on the duty they have assumed.
The great majority of these officers were uni
versity men, educated in .most branches on a
level with the West Pointer, and lacking only
the intensive training in purely military science.
This most of them received during two years or
longer of service during the war. Mental and
physical fitness was made certain by rigid ex
amination before the commissions were given
them by the president, and they are officers of
the army of the United States, in all ways quali
fied for thfc. work laid upon them.
"XIT'volunteer armies liave railitiolTs'oT rapid
advancement. Napoleon's dictum that every
soldier carried a field marshal's baton in his knap
sack has not been forgotten, and merit always
has had its recognition. The suggestion -that
congress penalize the young men in the army by
reducing their pay below the level for the grade
will, it is est'mated, effect a saving of $4,000,000,
but how will the American people stand, after
employing one of these young men, inducing him
to give over his other prospects in life, then to
cut his pay because he is not a veteran in the
service?. Cheese-paring can be carried too far.
Senate and Foreign Relations.
' Just now the controversy over the proposed
reservation to the so-called four-power treaty
seems to be less over the possibility that the
United States may be involved in war without
congressional assent than it is to establish the
Brandagee theory that the senate must be con
sulted with regard to foreign relations at all
times.
The first point should be regarded as having
been effectually settled in the case of the League
of Nations. Then it was admitted on all sides
that the president can not declare war, nor enter
into" a treaty that might by inference induce a
declaration of war, without the assent of con
gress. A new and novel claim has been set up
hy Senator Brandagee, which, simply stated,
amounts to a declaration that the senate has a
JkvVtt to sit in on any negotiations the president
foot. i,e carrying on with a foreign nation. This
1 n.e'".C,t l'ttIe beyond the language of the Consti-
E)'He (the president) shall have power, by and
with the advice and consent Of the senate, to
make treaties, provided two-thirds of the sena-
( tors present concur. ...
Just what does that mean? From the time
John Jay crossed the Atlantic to negotiate in
company with Benjamin Franklin and John
Adams the Treaty of Paris, by which the inde
pendence of the colonies was established, down
until now, the same rule has been followed. High
commissioners have represented the president,
and 'when their work had been approved and
signed, it has been sent to the senate for con
firmation; in this latter act is noted the advice
and consent.
If the Brandagee contention means anything,
it is to abandon what has been considered the
-. prerogative of the executive from the beginning,
and vest the senate with an enlarged power in
the handling of treaty or other negotiations with
foreign governments. It is not the four-power
treaty that is in danger, b'ut the whole treaty
making process that is under consideration.
"About "What the Doctor Ordered."
It is-unsafe to prognosticate weather at any
. t'me or place, because its manifestations depend
on the most unstable thing man has to deal with.
Atmospheric conditions continue to govern
weather, and the wind bloweth whence it listeth.
just as it always has, and man can only judge
" accurately of it when ft hits him. Yet long ex
perience and observation have demonstrated one
thing.. With the end of winter, as the earth
swjtigs back on its equatorial axis, and the sun
approaches the north once more, steady currents
of warm air, coming up from the tropics, carry
high above the earth enormous quantities of
water. Thesc'are borne into the higher latitudes,
and there, encountering the colder air from the
poles, the vapor is condensed and comes down
in huge blankets of suw or deluges of rain.

Third Party and Non-Partisans.
A aiiu.tion hat ariatn in Xtbratka that might
,eeni involved to the carnal oh.rrvrr, but wbidi
rrally i, rliar and limpid as pure water. If the
Townlryitr, ae true to their profra.ion, they
will unite with no party, but, following the Utter
and ,piiit of thvir name, will continue the effort
to iiupote their peculiar belief on all puftiea, or
at trait to the extent of securing through the
at'Kania-aiion of existing pariiea officers and lr
Ulators nmim'tted ta the league tenets. On
the other hand, the pro.-rrinive party promoter
feel that they ahould give open adherence to the
proposition on which they find it possible to
iMine for common action. Here it a rleavige as
diMinet and ohvion a could be wished.
What i not to be so highly commended, how-
eer, it the parasitic attitude of the Townley
group, which proposes to bore from within all of
the parties. To gainsay the right of any group
to undertake to bend the majority of a party,
or the nation, to its way of thinking is to deny
the fundamental right on which parties are
formed. Vet, if Mr. Townley is correctly quoted,
he hai departed from this basic principle. He
proposes that the league remain active and virile,
tut insubstantial to the extent that it accept
credit only for successes and evade responsibil
ity for failures, by shifting the latter onto the
party through which it it working. This is
opportunism raised to the ultimate power.
The progressive party in Nebraska has cho.'cn
firmly to hold to the middle of the road, naming
its own candidates, outlining its own platform of
principles, and doing openly the things it believes
to be right. Just to this degree it exceeds the
Townley doctrine of expediency, by which noth
ing ever was or will be settled.
Big Business and the Bonus.
True to their generous instincts, the American
people are insisting on the voting of a bonus to
the soldiers of the World War. Not the heart,
nor hope, but fear and cold theory, however, ani
mate the eastern financiers and international
banking corporations. Their view of the bonus,
while frequently referred to or denounced, has
not been broadcasted over the country. In a
circular issued a week or so ago a Baltimore
banking house expresses the following view,
which a financial publication declares expresses
the feeling generally held among eastern financiers:
The distribution of a bonus averaging only
$300 to each soldier would mean another era of
inflation shorter and sharper than before, hut
far more serious in its effects. There would
at once Jc a decided increase in the cost of
living, food, clothing and commodities would
advance sharply as the demand for them
progressed, and we would have a brief anti
climax which would leax'e the commercial
world in a more prostrate condition after this
second spending period than was the case after
the orgy of extravagance which followed the
armistice.
It is sometimes difficult to distinguish pros-
peritvfrom inflation. Our great bankers have
dccii wrung uciuic mis, tutu wiiu mc puuwi;
warned in advance against encouraging another
era of speculation, they may be wrong again.
Anyway, congress will vote the bonus. Then
we can watch to see if these financial sharps
guessed right or wrong again.

Europe Not Down and Out.
As good a place as any for finding out what
really is going on is the financial columns. Here,
for example, on the market page of the Boston
Globe is a letter from its business correspondent
in New York which says:
Recently a decided change has taken place
in the feeling of our best posted men regarding
Europe. The belief no longer exists here that
Europe is down and out. -
Wall Street now knows that its views of
last year regarding the supposed insolvency
of Europe were wrong. This change of views
is due to the recovery from last year's low
level of 25 per cent for sterling, SO per cent in
exchange on Italy and 65 on France. This
recovery in foreign exchange is accepted here
as unmistakable evidence of important
economic recovery abroad. "
It may bie that the world of tomorrow is
going to pass up the south of Europe, and per
haps also the Near East. To put the matter
bluntly, final recovery most likely will come
through the economic milking of Russia by Ger
many and England, utilizing vast supplies of
capital from the United States. However, 'the
recuperative powers of civilized man have been
found to be much stronger than most had sup
posed. No one can maintain now that European
civilization is menaced. The thrift, industry and
common sense of the people, more than the in
telligence ,of their rulers, has carried them
through the crisis.
The president's answer to the request for full
data on the four-power treaty is that there were
no records kept of the negotiations, nor were
any secret understandings or conventions entered
into. This ought to be satisfactory to anybody
but a senator who is trying, to make political
capital out of his opposition to a treaty he ex
pects to vote for.
Politics is having a great inning at Washing
ton just now. This time the row is kicked up
because the president did not name a democrat
on the foreign debt commission. Remember
how Mr. Wilson went out of his way to favor
republicans when he was in office?

Atchison railway had found $4J.,5'MX)0 toward
"capital expenditure" in 1022.
If only more railway could see their wiy
to make such betterments, the industrial out
look would grow brighter. Our most depressed
industry it the iron and steel trade, and it relies
more on railway order than on work for ships
and ports. The railway can tpend only as they
earn. Last week was published the result of
December urt earnings $42,652,.W8. against
$10,410,404 in This is better than had been
foreshadowed by the decrease of gross earning
by 21.7 per cent, and jet not to good as it ap
pears. Nevertheless, there is an unsuspected
volume of traffice moving, as the carloads of
revenue business prove. For the last week re
ported they were 75J.R86, against 699.718 in 1921. J
and almost as many as in the better year jy.u
I-.very week this year has shown more carioarts
moving, and the railways need volume of traffic
more than thrv need increases of rate.
Even the distressed farmers are sharing in
the tendency toward better times. Thus the
president of the Chicago Live Stock exchange
said on his re-election last week: "Live stock
roducers arc leading the wav back to prosperity.
Hor, sheep and wool bring prices that mean
profits to their owners, and cattle hold a strong

Just as they sold larger quantities for lower

he worlc they easily rmgp.t. rossibly more has
been done, or at least attempted, to relieve this
industry by laws, than any other, but the chief
result has been the demonstration that com
pulsory reduction of profits means reduction of
wages. However, a heclnning has been made,
and Irsfweck a $3,000,000 hotel was started by
a hcM' New Yorker. The roots of prosperity lie
ftutside the capitals and the exchanges.
A Pioneer Bootlegger.
In connection with the problems incident to
the enforcement of prohibition we are reminded
by the historian that in the earlier days of our
beloved country one John Hancock was indicted
and arrested for smuggling a cargo ot wines
from Madeira. John must not have been any
ordinary bootlegger, however, as the incident did
not impair his standing in the colonies. A short
time thereaftci he was able to start off the Declar
ation of Independence with his well-known pen
manship. Possiblv that was one of the reasons
why he wanted a Declaration of Independence.

The Surprising Fact.
"Who is Jane Addams?" languidly asked Mrs.
Asquith between two puffs of a cigaret, when a,
phalanx of newspaper men interviewed her on
her opinions about America's great men and
women. A distinguished fellow countrywoman
of Mrs. Asquith's, Mrs. Barnett, once called Miss
Addams America's greatest citizen. There is no
reason why a woman like Mrs. Asquith should,
know anything about Jane Addams, but it is a
surprising fact that thousands of Americans
should be willing to pay dollars to hear Mrs.
Asquith's opinions. Churchman.
Fine Results of the Conference.
Croakers have come to grief. The results ot
the armament conference at Washington are far
beyond anything that might reasonably have
been anticipated when President Harding issued
his invitation to the powers to assemble their
representatives at the nation's capital. There
has been magnificent achievement. A very long
stride has been taken in the direction of perma
nent peace. Philadelphia Inquirer.
They Must Be Shown.
The president is right if he insists that any
measure carrying a soldier bonus shall definitely
carry also the plan for financing the same, It is
one thing to appropriate money. It is more im
portant to specify the source of tne supply. On
the face of it the people must pay heavy addi
tional taxes to provide a soldier bonus. They
must be shown exactly where and how this is to
be obtained. Los Angeles Times.
Property and Civilization.
One of the first principles adopted in the be
ginning of civilization was the recognition of
rights of property the right to possession and
enjoyment of the accumulated products of one's
toil. Denial of that right is a return to bar

Alliance Herald: Those critics of
tho special session railed by Gov
ernor McKelvie and which came to
a close on February 2, on last
Thursday, who have said that a
special legislature would only add
cost to the irovernment, will have
to find something else on which to
narp for that string is out of tune,
The special session of the legisla
ture actually lopped off over two
million dollars of taxes, a thing
wnicn political Dart es will have a
hard time to camouflage in the eyes
or tne voters. Accordine to Mr. Mc
Kelvie, this is the first time that a
governor ever called a special ses
sion in order to cut down expenses
and Mr. McKelvie attributes the
power of doing this to the new code
system which has proved a money
saver for the state.
Before Mr. McKelvie had issued
the call for the special legislature,
he had had a meeting with the vari
ous heads of the code system and
other important officials of the
state. They had gone carefully
over their budget and practically
every department had reported that
it would be possible for them to cut
down their appropriations that they
were not using at all. Mr. McKel
vie then urged them to "cut until It
hurts" and be ready to report this
cut to a spcial session of the legis
lature which he expected to call.
When the legislature met and the
governors message was given to
them, it proposed a reduction of
$2,793,755.85, while the laws passed
by the legislature and the appropri
ations cut the tax to the extent of
$2,051,750, or a little over 700,-
000 dollars less than the gov
ernor had asked. In defense or ex
planation of the action of the legis
lature in seeming not to cut as much
as possible. It needs to be explained
that the governor's message .and re
duction, included the placing of a
tax of 1 cent a gallon on gasoline,
which he believed would provide the
f&l),uuD required to comnlele the
road building program adopted by
the legislature in 1917. However,
the lower house refused to pass the
gasoline tax by a vote of more thpn
two to one and the senate refuse. " I
to abolish the road building pro
gram, putting the $750,000 back
into the bill. When it came to the
time of acting thereon in joint com
mittee, a compromise was reached
with $750,000 for road building
which accounts for the difference in
the actual reduction and the reduc
tion asked by the governor.
inis reduction means that the
state's taxes have been out almost
one-third as the state taxes mean
$3.30 on $1,000 worth of taxable
property. It is to be seen that this
means a decrease of about one dol
lar on every $1,000 worth of di-od-
erty and ,1s a decided decrease.
which will meet with the approval
or people or this town. It Is claimed
that none of the needful work of
the state has been cut nor hampered
and if this be true, the budget sys
tem has undoubtedly been a great
oenent to Nebraska.
Of course, we are also interested
In the reduction in our own county
of $17,000 made by our own county
commissioners. This is again light
ening the burden of taxes. How
ever, they, too, receive $3.30 on the
thousand. The large ItemB of our
taxes are $27.50 for other taxes per
tnousand. It may be possible yet
for school boards and village boards
to cut our taxes even more.
By students of economics, it Is
believed that this reduction in taxes
la a rapid eteo back toward nor
malcy. The lowering of prices over
products that are needed, the slow
but stubborn lowering of wages, the
decline in taxes, are all indications
of the drift toward solid financial
footing and is much appreciated by
tha general public.

ommend a massage, such as epMini
salts, or some of the preparations
bought In the department Mtorcs, to
reduce the hips?
"2. Also, If not inconvenient, ex
plain the correct way to stand and
the correct way to walk, and if
brisk walking will tend to overcome
flabblnCKS."
REPLY.
1. Boiling is of a little service.
Bathing In a solution of epsnm salts
docs no good. If It is In the cards
for you to be brood hipped and fst
legged, nothing you can do will
make a whole lot of difference.
2. Stand with the shoulders
back, the head erect, and the chin
drawn in. To walk, incline the body
forward a trifle without curving the
backbone. Carry the feet forward
with the toes turned inward slighti
lv. The forward foot should strike
the ground heel first, but thia heel
first can be overdone.
Victim of Cold Feet.
W. A. writes: "I. have frostbitten
feet.
"1. What causes this?
" ran It be cured, and what
method would you advise?"
. REPLY.
1. Chilling. . People who are sub
ject to cold feet arc easily affected.
2. Wear loose, warm, waterproof
shoes and warm, loose socks. Keep
your feet well greased. Remember
how the soldiers in Flanders pre
vented it by pouring fish oil into
their shoes when they could not
otherwise thoroughly grease their
feet.
To relieve the itching some use
alcoholic iodine; some uSe camphor
water.

what they did for us and we paid
as least a good fair price for nil the
goods contracted for from all the
different companies and corpora

of people that I suppose was neces

the boys we just cannot find any
thing to tax to raise the money
with which to pay. The trouble is
we are not honest about it: we don't
want to pay. that's all. It's quite
likely that every soldier does not
need assistance- from the govern

where they and their ramiues are
destitute. I say let every citizen of
