Abandoned!
Five liuiulrcd men an J omen met at Grand
Maud !.t Dece mbrr to organize a new political
party. They felt bound togethfr by tie of com
mon opposition to condition which they deemed
nil and opprcive, conditions which they
thought inimical to the polilic.1, social and eco
nomic welfare of the mass of the people. They
dcilared the necessity of remedying these condi
tion through a new political organization be
i a life they believed the existing parties lacking
in foresight, in wisdom or in willingness to solve
the problem. .
There a "third party" was born and by these
men christened the progressive party. There
its platform was built, with a definite program
of reform. .
The platform of the new party outlined cer
tain evils and proposed certain definite remedies.
It advocated government ownership and opera
tion of all means of communication. It favored
a nation-wide presidential primary, the recall of
national officials, the application of the initiative
iiid referendum to national legislation, including
declarations of war. It approved the state own
ership and operation of water power projects, the
limitation of rentals, the extension of the co
operative movement and, in case that should not
be effective to check alleged profiteering, the
competition of the state in industry. Further, it
recommended the issuance of currency by the
government direct instead of by the federal re
serve bank.
That was the program of the progressive
party. That was what its members believed to
be necessary to combat the evils which they
thought oppressive. That is what they proposed
to do and what they directed their officers to
promote. That is what they expected their can
didates to stand for. "
The third party has never reconsidered this
program, it still stands as the will of the party.
But, in the light of recent events at Lincoln and
elsewhere, members of the party may well ask
themselves if Indeed it does not also stand still
very still.
The leaders 'of this party have arranged a
fusion with democrats. Its candidate for gov
ernor has transferred his aspirations to the
United States senate, avowedly to make room
for the candidacy of Mr. Norton. Mr. Norton
accepts a candidacy not in the progressive but
in the democratic party and publishes a state
ment of his own personal platform in -which he
makes not even a mention of the progressive
party and subscribes to no essential part of its
Grand Island platform. In this, both Mr. Nor
ton and Mr. Wray, now the candidate for the
senate, have the support, in fact acceded to the
expressed wish, of Mr. Edmisten, the chairman
of the third party. . .
Mr. Charles V. Bryan says of this maneuver:
"It takes the third party out of Nebraska politics
as a factor this year." Mr. W. J. Taylor of
Merna, a valiant battler for reform during many
campaigns, writes the chairman of the third
party: "No set of brigands ever scuttled a fairer
ship or fiend strangled a healthier infant." He
adds: "My language seems intemperate, but
these are terrible times for us farmers and the
laboring men; our confidence in this new party
and our trusting to you was as deep as our dis
tress." : .
That is the situation in whTch the third party
finds itself. It is a tragedy. ,It is a tragedy
more poignant thati any drama because it is a
tragedy of real life, affecting the hopes of men
and women who feel that their very livelihood
and happiness from day to day depends upon
the program of this party which now is forsaken
by those to whom they looked for guidance.
Their votes arc still wanted by the leaders and
candidates; the principles of their platform are
forsaken and forgotten. 'Their Moses has led
them into a wilderness and to a path vvhich leads
only to support of the very men and the Very
machine which they organized to oppose.
At no time has The Bee approved the full pro--,
gram of the p regressive party; however much it
was impressed by the sincerity of those who
drafted it or however' much' it sympathized with
.their belief that certain -condition's should- be
changed. It recognized in the rank, and file of
the new party men and women conscientiously
striving for their own and , the state's improve
ment, whose zeal and independence were, inspir
ing, who deserved fairer consideration 'than to
be abandoned in midstream. ;
The Force of Heredity.
Blood does tell. The revelation of a Ne
braska woman that the young man arrested on
a charge of burglary is not her son, but only
adopted as such does not prove this. It does
harmonize, however, with the scientific fact that
some persons are born with a hereditary strain
of physical or -mental disability that no environ
ment, however good, can alter.
The children of this family have grown up in
'the. same environment as their foster brother.
They are diligent and correct in their conduct,
while this youth, who was adopted as a two-day
old infant appears to have followed an opposite
course.
It is true that within respectable families
there occur black sheep. They, too, may be
born with wrong tendencies, and they may fall
int twl eniifonmrnl ouuidt home. That,
however, it Iti4 the question.
Tht plain fact i that there r some whom
th constructive forces of education and good
environment can not redeem. The public ii
too apt to rdy on mcb things it school lunches
for making children brainy when the hard truth
it that their brain pan it too mtH to allow the
brain to grow or their natural te tidcrtt irt so dis
torted that nothing within human power can
stvc them.
Soviet! in Dilemma.
One of the natural results ol the Genoa con
ference it to f mpha.ire the difficulty of reconcil
ing the apiration of the soviet with the ret
of the world. If, exclaim the delegates headed
by Chitcheritt, we aent to the program
pretented, we destroy communism, Thit doe
rot necessarily follow, for the soviet are not re
quested to forego any of their right in dealing
with Russian subject; they are, however, aked
to accord protection to foreigners at to person
and property. Against thit they set up that Rus
sians, tojourning in other countries, comply with
the laws of the country in which they are
domiciled. Consequently they expect visitors to
Ruttia to be governed by Russian laws. Here
it what perplexes them, although the point can
easily be met. When a Rustian vi.itt England,
Germany, France, the United States, or any civ
ilised country, he is held safe and secure in hit
person and property, and it deprived of none of
hit legal rights. The sojourner in Russia, how
ever, encounters a different situation. Conform
able to Rutun laws at they exist, the temporary
resident of that happy land loses all his personal
and property rights, and moves at the pleasure of
the committee in charge. While tuch an ar
tangement may be tolerable to the Russian, it it
likely to prove inconvenient and embarrassing to
the alien. To be sure, the latter is not in a por
tion to exact different treatment than what is
accorded to the R ussian, having the alternative
of remaining outside the country. If, however,
freedom of communication is to be restored, it
ran only come when Russian hospitality con
lorms to rules accepted elsewhere. This need
not destroy communism, but w ill restrict its oper
ations to those who accept its conditions.
Prosperity and Free Trade.
One of former Governor Cox's favorite as
sertions is, referring to the tariff, that the demo
crats showed the country could be prosperous
without a tariff. Assuming that this demonstra
tion took place under the administration of
Woodrow Wilson, it may be permissible to ex
amine the record. One of the earliest engage
ments of the democratic president in 1913 was
to have a free trade tariff bill enacted, which he
later praised as the most efficient ever adopted.
As a result, the revenues of the United States
fell a million dollars a day behind the expendi
tures, and a surplus of $350,000,000 on March 4
1913, was turned into a deficit of $330,000,000 on
March 4, 1915,. the first two years of Mr. Wil
son's service as president being marked by a net
deficit of $700,000,000. On the other hand, no
winter since the terrible hard times of the demo
cratic administration approached that of 1914-15.
Unemployment reached its high tide, idle, hungry
men swarmed in cities, and bread lines miles long
were noted in New York and Chicago. Activ
ity on war contracts relieved this dire condition,
but, will Mr. Cox or any other democrat main
tain that the prosperity that came with the war
is ascribable to the Underwood free trade tariff?
These champions of repudiated policies give the
public intelligence small credit. Many men yet
alive recall the effect of the Wilson tariff of 1894,
that plunged the country into such wide depres
sion, and they have not forgotten the sad ex
perience of 1914-15. Free trade never' did bring
prosperity to the United States; protection has
kept the home market for home products. These
facts are elemental..
A Cossack at Close Range.
The conception of Uncle Sam as a poor boob
whose pockets can be picked and whose nephews
can be killed without risk by any' clever adven
turer is apt to be dispelled by the reception given
"General" Semenoff. This brutal Cossack
brigand was backed by American and Japanese
troops for a time, that is true. The fear- of the
spread of bolshevik influence made a madhouse
of Siberia. A large section of American public
opinion found itself lauding these savages at the
very time our soldiers were menaced by them
and thousands of women and children, not to
mention more or less violent Russian citizens,
were being slaughtered.
The public airing now being given the charac
ter of this plunderer who had the consummate
gall to land on our shores Is a valuable piece of
sanitary work. Uncle Sam in the last few
years has' obtained what may be called the low
down and the close up on some of his -associates.
Once more it is shown what mixing- in the
private affairs of foreign nations sometimes lets
a country in for. -,
Today's line of cheer, from the New York
Globe: An archeologist who is of a philosophic
turn of mind must becefme very gloomy as he
contemplates the highly organized civilizations
of ancient times and reflects on the trifling ' ad
vance, measured in human terms, of the past few
thousand years.
. There is a shortage of hogs now, and prices
are booming. That's the well known law-of sup
ply and demand. If, as is more than probable,
there is a superabundance within two years,
prices will slump. That will also be according
to the law of supply and demand, however much
anyone may hate to admit it. ,

given a certificate of good character by a jury.
Now, if the judge will apologize and the distria
attorney beg his pardon, perhaps the ends of jus

The reactions of rrcklrst evil in a moral unl

proint ot immorality. It would seem a it the
wickrd would some time learn from ciKririife

It it a bit of encouragement in thit line to
observe that tome people who had never realized
tin well before, caught the idea at length from
what hat happened to the liquor trade. Thou
sands of men once thought nothing more profit
able in businett liie than the heartlet occupa
tion of making men drunk and stealing from
them in the process their money, their ene and
their conscience. It certainly did look at one
time to be the prime commercial proportion in
all the country for little risk and big returns, But
it doesn't look so today. After all that hat hap

There are sensible advisers saying virtually
the same thing to the promoter of the speaking
stage. And it seems to be because theatrical
managers have begun to catch'the significance of
tht warning that thev are glad to encourage
movements like that afoot in New York city to
establish a voluntary "jury" of citizens to pass
judgment on the moral influence of current plays.
Mr, Wilson's Prophecies
Mr. Wilson continues to predict an early
democratic triumph. The latest prediction it
contained in a letter to an officer of a Chicago
post of the American Legion, who had requested
him to discuss "current political issues." In de
clining the request Mr. W'ilson said:
Certainly service men. above all otners, are
qualified to express their devotion to the prin
ciples we believe in. It was for those that they
offered their lives. For my own part, I believe
those principlts to be in themselves so power
ful that no political blindness or iniquity can
defeat their triumph. I believe that triumph
to be immediately at hand, and that we shall
very soon indeed wipe away the ugly record
we made in failing to fulfill the objects for
which our gallant comrades fought.
"Immediately at hand" must mean November,
since the first test of sentiment will occur then.
Mr Wilson's further calculation probably is that
another triumph will take place in 1924, and that
with the democracy again in control at the White
House as well as on Caoitol Hill, "the ugly rec
ord" he refers to the rejection by the senate of
the Versailles treaty can, and will, be wiped
AW3V."
What will be the procedure? A renewal in
some way of the Versailles pact, and its submis
sion th senate for ratification? Is that to be
a feature of this year's campaign? If so, it will
add to the interest of a campaign which will not
lack for interesting features.
Mr. Vilson makes his predictions so con
fiHiMitlv. he must feel sure of his ground: and that
argues communication with the friends in dif
ferent sections of the country. Undoubtedly; he
is taking a lively interest in politics; ond the sug
gestion is very persuasive that his friends are at
pains to report to him their observations as to
local sentiment, ana tneir views on wnai iney

Girls Winning at Marbles, Too.
On the heels of the announcement by a
wealthy Chicago woman, who is lecturing on
sociological psychology, that women have
emerged from their serfdom and are now victors,
merely demanding the right to be left alone, to
develop, to demonstrate and to expand, comes
in a news item from Boston an alarming proof
of this demand for expansion. Woman's in
vasion of man's sphere has extended to girls on
the playground. The boys of Greater Boston
are making a stand against their entry into a
sport hitherto almost exclusively their own
marbles. On the sidewalks of the suburb, since
signs of spring appeared, passersby, forced to de
tour to the curbing, have found girls almost as
numerous as boys in the game. The sisters
play for keeps, too, and often with a skill that
has sent the brothers home marbleless.
The boys of Greater Boston are taking a
stand, says the correspondent, but does not add
in what way the conflict is waged, and whether
or not the girls resort to strictly feminine meth
ods of combat. Neither does he tell us of the
outcome. Merely taking a stand in a community
in which the feminine element outnumbers the
male sounds much like a forlorn hope, with de
ieat not so far distant. Indianapolis Star
