"'T11" 1 ran, fran t St. Honor Land for the Landless. According to Secretary Fall of the Interior department, he has on hand 100,000 implication, from ex-iervke men for information at to how and where they way secure lands for farmi. Alio, that he it receiving inquiries by thouiandi from ethers who want assistance in the way of acquir ing title to lands on which to live. This simple statement of fact expresiei con ciiely one of the great problems of American life. Long ago the more dciirable part of the public domain was distributed among the citi zens. What is left is not so attractive; semi arid, swamp, or logged-off lands are in no sense comparable with 'the fat acres of Iowa, Ne braska, Kansas, and other sections that were c pen to the soldiers who marched with Grant. Easily availabte areas have been reclaimed and title has passed from the government to settlers. Where will the A. E. F. boys be located? In the first days of the century the idea of Urge holdings took deep root, and the old-time larm unit disappeared before the process of ex pansion. Objectors to the plan were overruled, just as were those who thought they saw danger in the enormous industrial and commercial con solidations that were taking place. Big was the watchword everywhere, and it was applied to the farm. Not an argument that was then advanced in favor of the larger farm unit but is applicable now, nor have any of the objections to it lost their force. The question stands just where it did, with the added force in favor of the smaller lot provided by the presence of an hundred thou sand young men asking for farm homes who will not find them, save at the end of many years of hard work. Machinery has displaced human labor on the farm as well as elsewhere, and society has made little provision for taking up the surplus. So far as the farms are concerned, capital is required; even a small holding necessitating the employ ment of more money than the average seeker for such investment commands. Land ownership in the United States is no longer a matter of will ingness to work. Something of this situation is visioned in the assertion of the progressive party promoters, that no race of peasants will be toler ated in this country. However, ringing utter ances do not always provide remedies. The serious business is to devise a method by which the idle but willing workers of the United States may be profitably employed, so that not only self-reliant independence will be maintained, but steady production on a sound economic basis will be established. Some steps may have to be retraced, some extraordinary measures adopted, but whatever the process, the solution is vital to our national life. Latest Postal Savings Plan. When the government made its offer to the public of a new issue of postal savings securities, it was assuming that holders of small sums of money would be glad to find a secure place for their cash, with a reasonable return. No one knows how much money is in hiding. Estimates are only guesses, but it is certain that a huge total is held out by its frugal owners, who have lost confidence in banks, and who prefer to hide their hoardings. To these the government is of fering one of the mostf attractive investments ever proposed. Money spent for the new issue of savings certificates will be returned in five years with 25 per cent interest. Four and one half per cent is the guaranteed amount, to be paid for the period the money is in government possession short of five years; if the certificate is matured, the rate will be S per cent. For every 80 cents invested, the government agrees to re turn $1. , " Of course, this has an advantage to the gov ernment. Money secured through this means will be used for public purposes, thus providing the best of employment for the dollars that now are idle. If a billion of the new certificates are sold, it means that the Treasury will be relieved of the necessity of turning over certificates to that amount through the banks. Thus the people will become their own bankers, as well as secur ity for themselves. A more attractive plan of financing the government has never been adopted. Its success depends on how well the holders of small sums that are idle now respond to the in vitation. If the people who are now hoarding their sav ings are willing to take a chance on their gov ernment in peace time equally as they did in war, they can put into service large sums that now are idle, besides gaining a liberal interest rate on the best possible security. Such opportunities are not frequently offered the public. Woman and the Chamber of Commerce. The opening of the membership roll of the Chamber of Commerce, even on the division basis S outlined by the executive committee, is a move forward. Woman is present in industry, in com merce, in the professions, in everything that is represented by th Chamber. She is a property holder, a taxpayer, a citizen, possessed of all the rights and privileges of a full-fledged'mera-ber of the community. Therefore, it is meet and fitting she should have something to say in a pub lic way about the management of those things which finally affect her in her material as well as her social relations. How close the communion will be between ih t9 d.vuiefli, the. ops 4vo4 clutivIy to womes 4 int other ta men, will b determined; li pfrtnc ihs in need er expediency, Wenua paturitly expect to havt control, (or tht start it tent, ol their 0a affair, u represented in th chamber: ntca will sgret to this, regarding tht move s experimental in a targe seme, ind finding in h errengrment tht acknowledgment of man's right to look after hit business.

Motor Trucks Aid Railroads. It it atrangt how articles and services that start out at competitors art later found not to rival, but to complement each other, combining to compost a more uteful whole. No doubt when newspapers first grote tht publishers of books felt that their business wss to suffer, and yet more books are read today than ever before. In a way, the pottoftice system com petes with the telegraph and the telephone, and now the radio may seem to threaten them all. Yet when the adjustment is made, each may be found to supplement the other. The same proms is being undergone by the railroad and the motor truck in the eaiu Instead of standing idly in its wailing place be came the automobile carrier has taken so much traffic from the railways, these corporations are adopting motor truck transportation them selves as an auxiliary. The Erie railroad Is now using trucks to expedite and cheapen its ter minal service in New York city, where the freight car can not run without adding expense, contusion and congestion. The Pennsylvania ystem has advised Baltimore merchants of its plan to add similar service. "Freight terminals near the centers of many large cities were built for the needs of the last century," says Daily Financial America in dis cussing this innovation. They are far too small for the present-day service. The natural growth around them has girdled them with an iron band. They could only expand on present sites by the destruction of neighboring develop ment, causing great and costly waste." By use of the motor truck, suburban ter minals are developed where shipments can be handled more quickly and cheaper than in the heart of the city. The Erie railroad, for ex ample, is carrying thousands of tons of freight from Jersey City station into substations in New York, and even delivers goods at the merchant's door when he is willing to pay for this additional service. Steamship lines are also using truck lines to bring cargoes to Boston. The problem of distribution is a great one. Anything that diminishes the delays and con gestions in metropolitan terminals will be of public benefit. Fewer freight cars will be tied up and the car shorjage will be lessened by just so much if the motor truck is efficiently used. Where delivery at the merchant's door is pos sible, handling charges will be cut and all this should be to the advantage of the producing and consuming public. Doctors, Fashion and Corsets. Some women rose recently to remark that men would do well to don corsets. Men long before this have been heard to inveigh against women wearing them. As a matter of observa tion it may be remarked that a goodly number of the feminine population have come out of omething besides the kitchen. But now comes Dr. John Dill Robertson, for mer health commissioner of Chicago, in defense of the corset. He says: I agree that the nervous strain of city life, to which many women are not yet adjusted, to gether with sedentary habits, has been a con tributing factor in producing visceroptosis or sagging of the abdominal organs. In such cases the corset is useful if not necessary as a support until the condition can be alleviated by proper exercise. Today medical authorities are conceding that the corset of modern design, properly se lected and fitted by an expert; and worn by a woman who takes daily exercise, is a boon to health. As a surgeon, too, I am not at all afraid to recommend the value of this garment for women of overweight or for those who have re cently undergone operations. After all, this is a matter that will be decided by the dictates of fashion rather than by medical opinion. rIew Rule in the Jury Room. A jury in the Douglas county district court a few weeks ago found a woman guilty of mur der, and onw one in the federal court has held another to be guilty of using the mails to de fraud. This is not a sign of crumbling chivalry, but the proof that common sense is coming into its own. The Bee is not assuming to pass on the evidence in either case. That was the prov ince of the juries, and on the recorded decision conclusion must rest. Not such a- great while ago prosecutors despaired of securing conviction of a woman,, no matter how heinous her crime or how convincing the proof against her. Some thing in the attitude of men intervened against inflicting the penalty of crime, and female of fenders proceeded almost assured in advance of immunity against punishment. The new rule seems to be that male or female, the accused must abide by the evidence adduced at trial, and no question of sex will intrude to thwart jus tice. And this is a good rule. Speaking of progress (or were we?) the na tional council of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States has voted down a proposal for a referendum on the establishment of the metric system of weights and measures. Suggestion to school boards: Teach the boys and girls under your charge, by precept and ex ample, that money does not grow on trees. ' The Arctic explorer who complained yester-' day that Omaha was too hot may be more con tent with the climate today. , Nebraska progressives are opposed to fusion; if they were not they would deny the right of their party to existence. When the operators and miners get to con ferring, the way to settlement is opening, at least Say what you will about the flapper, she is certainly no worse than she is painted. Now we have a chance of seeing a receiver put it back. - Platitudinous "Classics" Modern "Messages Given One Over, by a Critical JUviewtr. (Prom tht Ntw York Tiroes.) Ont (cell a certain sympathy for each new generation of authors. They art vktiint ol liter ary mortmain. No wonder they wriiht and cry out bitterly. Why should the old codgert of tht past bt venerated and even read while the talent, the genius of today, "vibrant, plangent, mulgent, poignant,- ana o on, knows mat just it good and a great deal betterf The country swarms with silted lfottkin.es. reading and glorifying one another, all mUappredated, neglected in comparison with the old school, it is vain for contemporary producers of poetry or prove to lok for juttice. At lea.t they may do a little justice to themselves and execute justice upon their precursors and overshadow crs. Impracticable, unfortunately, at present is the noblt proposal of Mr, Marinrtti. the arch-futurist, to clear out all the obstructive (utile debris of the past, burn the old books, the museums; scatter the barren heritage and give the young a chance. But we can ppr.ic the bright and venerable names that the world tgnorantly worships or pretends to worship. II y what qualities did the old humbugs succeed in imposing thcmtclvej upon posterity? An illumrious American literary character, an accomplished scholar, chief pontiff of the fantastic school, has juvt told us exactly what we needed to know. How have the greater gods of literature survived.' Because their was "the vitality of the mediocre." A writer of uni versal appeal must have the ideas which the ma jority accepts: Shakespeare has been praised, for once with absolute justice, as "the myriad-minded," be cause myriads have always had just such a mind as his. The writer of "classics." in short, has need of quite honest and limited thinking, and of an ability to utter platitudes with that wholesome belief in their importance which no hypocrisy or art can ever mimic. ... It appears sale to point out that the main treas ures of our national literature, including its British tributaries, really are, . when consid ered in the light of the ideas they express, rather startlingly silly. The "ideas" of Chau cer and Shakespeare and Milton, when once looked at without prejudice, appear to wander sheepishly from the platitudinous to the im becile, the while that their "stories" rove, in somewhat more the manner of the mountain goat, about the heights of idiocy. And when you compare the reality with the ideas which Scott and Thackeray and Dickens quite gravely expressed about human existence, the incon gruity breathes more of pathos than of mirth, for these novelists express the usual ideas. "Whaur'a Wully Shakespeare noo?" Where are all the rest of these impostor "classics," these sheepish wanderers from the platitudinous to the imbecile? Now we know what they are and to what defects they owe their lasting popularity and fame. Speaking of Whitman, Mr. Edmund C. Stedman was rash enough to declare that "lasting works usually have pleased all classes in their own time." Obviously such works, as our. new and so restrained and delicate criticism informs us, can have pleased only the platitudinous or imbecile majority. It is equally obvious that the works that have been forgotten must have been truly original and creative. They perished be cause the dull mass of men couldn't understand them. The commonplace lives. The foolish lives. The strong, daring, lonely thought, the high con ception, the consonant and perfect work, is doomed to obscurity and oblivion. This is a consoling and strengthening theory for the multitudinous young "masters of today." They are latitudinous, not platitudinous. Their brains are leviathan incubators of rare ideas. They neither wish nor hope to please the idiotic general. Theirs is the higher satisfaction of pleasing themselves and touting for one another. They flout the foolish dead "classics." Cheer fully they give up the expectation of flitting among the mouths of men. Fame is for the dense only. All of which is respectfully submitted. Baudelaire painted his hair green to stimulate that contemporary attention which is a sort of fame or notoriety. Boys will be boys; and our scourgers of the "classics" love dearly to have fun with the "bourgeois." Making a Joke of It How to Keep Well Bp Dft. W, A. IVAMI QmmUms liuwiii IriftoMv, Malt.

CcfrHiMi last "Hooch" and "gas" never did mix well State's Attorney Abbott of Kane county, Illinois, put a direct question to the national, state, county and city law enforcement officials gathered in Chicago at the call of the attorney general to discuss the question of law enforcement. He asked them point blank how many of them would refuse to buy a quart of good whisky if they had the opportunity to purchase it, and the question apparently stirred no general indigna tion, in tact some symptoms of amusement were displayed and the question was' received with an agreeable air of jocularity, although it does not appear that Mr. Abbott intended it as pleasantry. ' Mow it Mr. Abbott had asked his hearers how many of them would swear falsely to an income tax return if they had a chance to do it and get away with it, or how many of them would steal a pocketbook if an eligible opportunity for such an enterprise presented itself, his hearers would have been insulted, and very properly so: The incident illustrates the popular attitude toward prohibition. Men who could not be in duced under any consideration to . break the statutes to which they have been accustomed, fare blithely forth and violate the Volstead act, treat the bootlegger as a respectable and neces sary tradesman rather than as a lawbreaker, and by these actions, although they do not cherish such intention, contribute to the growing dis respect for all law and resentment of all au thority. ' The sooner the lesson is learned, that pro hibition is not a joke, that the laws on the sub ject must be obeyed so long as they remain on the statute books, and that their violation, what ever may be one's personal opinion of their jus tice or necessity, is just as discreditable as the violation of any statute, the better it will be for the country. If the sentiment of the nation is against the laws, they should be repealed. Mak ing a joke of them does not solve the problem.

Men who are at work produce. Production creates wealth. Wealth means prosperity. Reports from . federal employment bureaus show that for every 100 places listed in the bu reaus there were 226 applicants in January, 205 in February and only 194 in March. For every 100 registrations, 38 found jobs in January, 41 in February and 43 in. March. The percentage of increase is not startling, but it is convincing proof of bettered conditions. The ratification of the four-power Pacific treaty will end a great deal of uncertainty that has seriously hampered business and restore con fidence to many investors. It will go far toward re-establishing commerce with foreign countries. In the middle west farmers are selling for sat isfactory prices the wheat and corn that they have been obliged to hold for four years. This country has been ill, but is recovering. The war was a hard blow, but it was far from a knockout. This year will supply markets to business men who will fight for them and work for labor which really seeks it. It 'will be the best busi ness year since the war. New York Tribune. Don't Forget to Be Antennaed.

Llppmnn Convicts Baker, nmahi ' March St To the Editor of The Bee: As a commentary upon contemporaneous history a It is written, for instance, by Mr. Rny Stannard Baker, whose articles are nn k.in. nrofntir! to the Omaha public in serial form In the Sunday section, woum it oe possime tor you to give prominent place In your pa- r.M ,n a ..nv rtf fl letter Rent out by Mr. Walter Llppman. Mr. Baker has taken considerable pains to show that neither the State department nnn D.n.fH.nf wllann knew anvthlng at all about the secret treaties be tween the European powers wun whom we were allied in the late war against Germany. It is frankly ad mitted that these secret treat ies were the principal cause of Mr. Wilson's failure at fans, in uuo icmicti Mr. I.innmann's letter is most il luminating. It should, perhaps, be pointed out that Mr. Lippmann is a writer of in ternational reputation, an editor of the New York World, and during the war was private secretary to Col. House. He is, therefore, most com petent to speak from first hand knowledge of the facts. S. M, Regarding Ray Stannard Bak er's attempt to prove that the se cret treaties were not known to President Wilson or the State de partment, I wish to say of my own personal knowledge: 1. That documents relating to them passed through Col. House's hands previous to the drafting of the 14 points at the end of De cember, 1917. 2. That certain of these points notably the one relating to France is unintelligible without reference to the secret treaty be tween France and Russia. 3. That Secretary Lansing knew about the Pacific treaty in the spring of 1918, because I was one of a number of men who sat with him in front of a map show ing the partition and heard him discuss the -effect on America's strategic position in the Pacific. - Mr. Baker knows all these facts because I explained them to him before his articles were published.
