Omaha's Automobile Show.
More than elrvru million automobiles were
icgistcrcd in the United States in 1921; 238,000
of these were registered in Nebraska, and 25,000
in Douglas county. Here is a graphic illustra
tion of the importance of the machine; one for
each nine inhabitants of the country, one for each
five citizens of Nebraska, and one for each eight
residents of Douglas county. It may be inferred
from this that the saturation point lias been
leached, and that extension of the use of the self
propelled vehicle is therefore precluded. That ar
gument lias been presented each succeeding year
as the automobile industry developed to its pres
ent commanding position, and has had little ef
lect on the progress of the trade.
What the figures do show is that Americans
in this as in other thing, are quick to see the
utility of a practical machine, and to put it into
service without waste of time. Not since the
telephone was invented has there come such an
adaptable aid to man, useful for so many and
varied purposes as the automobile. It serves
everywhere and serves well, and whoever under
lakes to set the point at which its usefulness is
lo terminate is taking a long chance.
Omaha has been an important factor in the
industry from the very beginning. Not only
have the people of the surrounding territory tak
en up the automobile with greater appreciation
of its value than is shown in other parts of the
country, but we have had enterprising, far-sighted
men in control of the trade. These have made
this city the center of a tremendous business, its
lamifications extending far and wide, and its
power expressed in dollars and cents reaching a
most impressive total.
These are some of the reasons why the auto
mobile show, which gets under headway today,
is of importance. It is-ttie answer of the dealers
to the call of reviving business, their signal to
the world that they are up and coming, and that
what they have done in the past is but a sign of
what the future is to be. The automobile show is
presage of what is coming in other lines of ac
tivity, a rebirth of enterprise, and so deserves all
the attention it is certain to receive.
For John Kroupa, a Salaam.
The Bee metaphorically lifts its hat to John,
Kroupa. He was in the back room of his drug
store, when his young son notified him that hold
up men were at work in the main store. Kroupa
did not hesitate, call for police, or shout fire.
He ran into the front room, and was shooting
s he ran. The thieves fired and fled. Only
one point is left to deplore. Kroupa's pistol
practice is lamentably poor. He should train
until his aim is as deadly as his courage is clear.
Such men as he are sorely needed in a commun
ity bedeviled by thugs and robbers, who have
terrorized property owners, looted homes and
stores, safes and strong boxes at will, made a
short walk even on a well lighted street at night
an uncertain adventure, and have not hesitated
to fire when resisted and even have fired without
waiting for objection on part of the victim.
One of the bullets fired by John Kroupa found a
billet in the body of the holdup man the moral
effect of which is many times greater than
.ny amount ot preaching or police warning.
Kroupa should have all credit for his courage,
and deserves high compliment because he did re
st the robbers. One of these gentry in a hos
pital or at the morgue is of great public
service, and the householder or storekeeper who
succeeds in bagging a burglar or a robber of any
sort will be a benefactor to the community.
Underwood Exposes' Treaty Opposition.
Oicar W, Underwood, democrat and en of
the if niton lu voted for ratification of the
treaty of Veruillrt, look the diaiuiic off (he op
ponenti of the foiir-poa.fr treaty, and If ft them
exposed at advocates of a aytttm that through
many centuries hat proved in failure the ute
of force for (fttlfment of International disputes,
He would not admit that the pending treaty con
template! in alliance, but "if it were an alliance
intended to letp the peace through arbitration
rather than through fore I should support it."
Senator Underwood put into a few pregnant
sentences the gitt of the opposition to the treaty,
and the atrongnt possible answer to the objec
Hons raned against It:
The foreign relations committee has moved
a reservation to the treaty, which beyond a
doubt will be accepted by the senate, which
is as follows:
"The United States understands that under
the statement in the preamble, or under the
terma of this treaty, there is no commitment
to armed force, no alliance, no obligation to
join in any defense."
When the treaty is ratified with this under
standing on the part of our government, what
ground ia left to those who contend the treaty
is an offensive and defensive alliance to stand
upon? None that I can see.
On the other hand, it i asserted that, as
the treaty does not bind the high contracting
parties to use force in carrying out its terms.
and because they cannot in trie tuture te oouna
to any action until their free consent is first
obtained, that it means nothing; that it is
worse than useless to sign it, and therefore
it should be defeated. To my mind this argu
ment is the last stand of the men of the old
school, the school of thought that has been
dominant in the government of this world for
the last 4.000 years; the philosophy that be
lieve that the world can and must be gov
erned only by force, and that agreements, to
be binding, must have the power of force be
hind them. If this were true it would destroy
all the faith of tbe Christian rations of tha
world in their efforts to obtain peace by mutual
understanding.
Fortunately for mankind, it is possible for
nations to agree on matters between them, and
to settle issues without resort to arms. More
than one hundred years of amicable intercourse
between the United States and Great Britain,
during which many important questions have
been disposed of to the satisfaction of both by
conciliation or arbitration, amply provei that
war is unnecessary and can be avoided when
justice is seriously sought. America is trying
to show the world a better way of living, and
the four-cower treaty is in that direction. It
contains no secret bargains, looks to no em
ployment of force, merely provides for consulta
tion and conciliation.
Partisans of whatever stripe or persuasion
who are striving to undo the work of the arm9
conference, among whom is to be numbered the
democratic senator from Nebraska, show little
regard for the sanity of the present or the safety
of the future. If they seek chaos, they are travel
ing in the right direction. .
FKOM THT CONTINENT.
Th Kentucky anti-s-vulutiun bill failed.
And American Chti.uaniiy iherrby escaped a
historic di.grace.
But it was a narrow crape, 1 he t Uent nu
Jonty was stim.
The call lr th law was undeniably a church
agnation, Mini.trr ora-anird it. iVgiaUtori
voted yea to plcae the churches.
Moreover, hosts of church pcuple rUcwhrre
hopfd the propo! would win. They wanted
it for a precedent in their own states.
With all this faced, it it ohviou.ly no time
for liberal-minded and fair-playing Chrutun lo
c'i.nmi the nutter with nine cuni;rtuUlion
that a foolish bit of bigotry has been frustrated.
Worse abrrratimii ate bound to recur, to the
cicep discredit of the ChrUiuin name, if Chris
tain leaders da not exert themselves to make
plain that ("hrit' spirit in these matter is a
spirit of liberty, liberality, fairncs and fearless
ness.
Thf situation is another illustration of what
The Continent lias recently remarked on this
Mge that it is strangely hard for modern
i'rotestants to get higher than the level of the
middle skm.oii the subject ol religious liberty.
Then everybody va in favor of full liberty for
teaching and preaching what he believed. And
there is jixt where a tot of folks stand today,
ManlfMlv the lull framed m Kentucky
framed and supported, we underhand, by 1 rotest
ants exclusively was not a monument to any
conviction that men have a right to bear tin-
trammeled witness to the fact of things as they
see it.
Indeed, the sponsors of this legislation seem
deliberately to have put themselves hack to the
time when it was held to be the duty of the
state to require the whole mast of citizens to
believe what the church said was safe to believe.
The bill was mad enough at first forbidding
teachers to teach "evolution" in any state-sun-
ported school, because presumably church peo
ple hate the idea. Dut when a stronar fight
against this developed, it was either ignorantly
or purposely amended into a form unspeakably
worse.
In this second edition the measure was so
worded as to enjoin all state-paid teachers from
teaching anything: whatever that would "under
mine" the religious faith of their students.
That would not only enslave state education
to dogmatic theology, but would leave it to be
forever trampled by conflicting theologies, of
which the silliest would in such conditions count
most.
One or two Christian denominations in this
country still declare as a religious dogma that the
world is flat.
Imagine a school teacher having to hide the
geography globe for fear a child belonging to
luch a sect might learn that bigoted ignorance
in his church was making a fool of him.

Pursuit of the Plesiosaurus.
The news that a scientific expedition is about
to set out for Patagonia to search for a monster
reported to be roaming the wilds of that little
known land excites the imagination. We have
become accustomed to the pictures of antedilu
vian reptiles, beasts, birds and the like, as they
emanated from artistic minds stimulated by
speculation based on bones and other fossil re
mains. s We of Nebraska know that such things
once did exist, for our fair state supplies sub
stantial evidence of them in form of remains.
Moreover, our neighbors have likewise contri
buted to the collection, and plesiosaurs, dinosaurs,
titanosaurs, icthyosaurs and other saurians,
brontotheriums, megatheriums, titanotheriums,
triceroptcra, and a host of dead and gone but
not forgotten creatures of a day long swallowed
up in the Tertiary, linger with us in all but
flesh and life. Wrc know that once these and
many smaller beasts, birds and reptiles roamed
the sedgy shores of the prehistoric ocean whose
waters washed a beach far north of the Canadian
lme, or fed to the full in the lush grasses of
the savannahs of what is now the Wyoming
Montana plateau. South America affords ample
proof that the experience of the northern con
tinent has not long since been undergone there,
and in flora and fauna alike goes back to a time
more remote than any we can show in living
substance. So, if a plesiosaurus or anything
f the kind is to be found today, it may well
come from the land that has given the world
Rich and Poor; War and Bonus.
The cheapest of demagogy is that quality
now exhibited by certain unscrupulous persons
in connection with the bonus bill. They are re
tailing unctuously a sinister phrase "It was a
rich man's war, but a poor man's fight." Some
thing like this was heard while the war was. on,
coming mostly from the enemies of the govern
ment, as it now comes from enemies of society.
American manhood and womanhood, side
by side, battled to win in the war. No question
was made of social status, of wealth or honor;
h was our war, and all shared alike in it. No,
not all. A few skulked, but for. every rich man
caught dodging the draft or evading his service
in any way, an idle pauper could be discovered,
doing the same thing. The pretext was the
same in each case, a selfish desire to shift the
burden to some one' else..
Not every one who stayed at home was a
profiteer, nor did all get rich from high wages.
Sacrifices were made and hardship' endured by
those who did not wear the uniform or get into
the fight. That war extended from the front
line trenches to the humblest home, and had it
not been for the backing of the homes, the front
line wouldn't have amounted to much. Ameri
cans should resent as an insult the imputation
that the war was for the benefit of the richj and
that the fighting was all done by the poorl
If the former service men are to be granted
a bonus, it will be on a basis of adjusted com-.
pensation for service not wholly recompensed,
and not to exact from the rich a donation to
the poor. The discussion is taking a wide range,
and not, always creditable to the good sense
of the American people. The bonus measure
must be determined finally on its merits, and not
on prejudice aroused by sneers from designing
politicians.
Will and Deed at Hastings.
Out at Hastings they believe the truth of the
old adage that deeds speak louder than wrords.
Citizens, of Hastings got together a few weeks
ago and decided that the town needed additional
houses. They canvassed various sources of in
vestment funds and the result was that they
gathered an even million dollars and had it de
posited in local banks for U3e by buildtrs. In
surance companies, mortgage loan agencies and
others contributed their quota.
Hastings then organized a building show,
at which special stress was laid upon the economi
cal building of average homes. The result is that,
before the show is over, 22 dwellings are under
way in Hastings and $150,000 of the million has
been loaned to finance these undertakings. Me
chanics are at work and Hastings has its head
up, rarin to go. ,
February is reported as having recorded the
largest list of building permits in the history of
the month. Somebody is coming back. ,
Democrats in Michigan have turned from
Henry Ford to EdseL This will also be good
news to the ex-service men.
' Situation in Limerick is reported "quiet but
critical." Sounds like a prelude to Donnybrook.
Next Monday is 'legion employment day,"
an event that should be made perpetual
Omaha's bank clearings also are a pretty good
sign of what is going on.
Getting all set for the coal strike?
More deplorable, however, than mere re
version to mediaeval church control over the
state, is the picture which this performance gives
to the world of Christians afraid to meet new
truth.
It has been far and wide the boast of Protest
ants of 'Presbyterians rather particularly that
education flourishes where Protestant churches
are strone. Historical! v it is true. Schools, col
leges, universities have always developed quickly
in Protestant settlements.
But what a oaradox this is that right out of
this Protestant heritage there have now arisen
men and women afraid to have their children go
to school unless they can be kept from hearing
that an overwhelming majority ot scientists to
day think this earth and its forms of life were
developed by processes ot evolution.
The hubbub thus made in the church can
have on an observing public outside the church
only one effect. .
What that effect must be, let history tell.
Refer to the time when the popes forbade peo
ple to believe the earth was moving.
How simple the verdict was. Thoughtful
men judged the scientists knew what they were
aiuino- ahnut and the church had not even tried
. .. 1 1:1 U
to learn. So they disregarded me cnur(.u.
Tt,a Unman church never recovered the
ground it lost with intelligent humanity by giv-
. a. j- j i;t
ing the lie to Copernicus ana uiutu.
And this miSWKC lay nui smiyiy iu iigiui" -
truth. .... ....
It would have been as Dad a Diunocr to ugui
an error that way. . . .
The harm was done when the assumed tiead
of Christendom betrayed a fear that there might
be somewhere in the universe a truth which, it
discovered, would destroy Christianity.
A man who for sake of his faith protests
against hearing what is said to be a new fact
.iloffMt inevitably that down in his heart he
doubts whether his religion is a fact.
If he were dead sure 01 ms rengum, nc v.
certainly say! . . . .
"Bring on whatever you uunn.
covered. If it's truth, it can t conn ii w.ut ..,-
thing else that's true. And that ccrtainiy pu n
beyond any possibility o spoiling my faith.
On the other hand, if the claim is not true,
let examination and comparison and discussion
PrHow thisrUaege does need to learn that won
derful saying of Milton:
."Let truth and falsehood grapple. Vfho evef
kneWh put to the worse? Truth 'is strong
nextjp the Almighty."
And in this particular care, now iooumi .s
E-Siution could be quite true in its primary
scientific conception with hurting faith in God,
Christ and Bible one whit. ,
Unless one insists that the first chapter of
Genesis is what it does not itself in any way sug
gest what no inspired writer ever remotely inti
mated that it was intended to be-unless one
malces it a literal history rather than a mora
and religious picture of creation then there is
plenty of room there for the evolutionary develop
ment of the whole physical universe.
Indeed, read in modern light, with its graphic
illustrations of a world being progressively fitted
for man, it almost seems as if the story was pre
pared for evolutionary scientists to explain.
When it comes to man, Genesis obviously
intends to tell how man became "a living soul"
conscious of responsibility to his Creator. In
asmuch as on that evolution says nothing at all,
there certainly can't be contradiction there.
Of course there are evolutionists who think
they can get along without God. But none of
them get along well.
In contrast thousands who take God as the
great worker in whose hands evolution has been
a master tool, find such substantial standing
ground that there would seem to be little doubt
where evolutionary philosophy will finally resort.
Even Darwin, the father of evolution, was at
pains to deny that the "variations" of which he
wrote so much could be thought of as "due to
chance." If he spoke of "chance variations" it
was only, he said, to acknowledge his ignorance
of the cause of them.
Say the cause is God and where's the heresy?
Truth in evolution or anywhere else will never
destroy God.
And all that in not truth he will destroy.
So the answer is, "Have faith in God!"

a more or less open attempt on the
part of the old stylo politicians to

over the primary system in that it
is less cumbersome, and mayhap less
expensive, although in view or some
of the state conventions tne latter
statement is subject to revision.
The convention system gives the po

things to suit himself (it he is a real
manager) and thus relieve tne peo

enough except the city and county
officials who do neither.
Why not cut the wages of the po
liceman and of scores of the other
city and county employes around
the court house and the city hall,
including the commissioners, in a
degree to conform with the salary
of nine-tenths of those who support
them?
Why should the monthly pay of a
policeman be from J140 to S175, the
mayor $416; the commissioners
each $375; chairman of the water
board $833, including all vacations,
when just a3 competent men with
equal ability would do the work as
well for from 50 to 75 per cent of
the above? Two of the city officials
are also receiving additional com

The riot in high salaries of city,
county, school and state officials,
and their reckless and wanton ex
penditures, and their crushing de
mands, is fast taking all the hope
and manhood out of the little home
owner. To own a little home now
with a mortgage, makes you simply
a tenant of the city and the mort
gagee. It is creating doubt; distrust
and causing broken and dissatisfied
home life, filling the courts with di
vorce cases, and every orphan home
and jail to the doors.
Strange indeed that men holding
a brief Dower cannot rise above self
interest and soften the burdens of,
those who are weary ana heavy
laden, and do these things to enable
our men to be home owners and not
tenants of a few who were more
fortunate. It is time for someone
to wake up. VERITAS.
