Iloaora Ultimatum at Genoa. A peculiar, but not unexpected situation lu ari.en tt Genoa, the ouicoine of the action of the German ami Kuun delegate in signing the Treaty of Rapallo. and the reaction of the French cabinet to that rpi.odc. M. Toincare, who has attained hit pre-f inincme in the peculiar politics of liia country through liii unbending attitude toward Germany, ii now iiiiient that the original program be put through, rcgrd!c of anything that may have transpired between Germany and Runia. Hi position apprari to be that until French demand are met, no negotiations be tween debtor nation i to be permitted. Here it a weak point in his line, Germany and Russia are each heavily in debted to France, as to other nations, and the general disposition is to hold them to accounta bility to the utmost. They are capable of paying ultimately every penny of the debt, and should be required to make payment to the end. Whether this is to preclude agreements between them may be questioned. It is easy to under stand that France is apprehensive of any move ment that may tend to strengthen either of her debtors, particularly when one must be regarded at an hereditary and implacable enemy, and the other the proponent of a system of politics the application of which already has cost the French nation severely in blood and treasure. Acknowl edging1 this, the French might console them selves with the reflection that for the present they have such sympathetic support throughout the world that no other nation would dare at tack the country again. Nor does it appear that any serious modifica tion of the Treaty of Versailles would receive consent from the nations that signed it. The matter is beyond the control of the Genoa con ference. It was called in conformity to the resolution of Cannes, and is assented to by Ger many and Russia, although the final admission of the Soviets turns on the report of the commit tee! that now are in consultation with 'the Tchitcherin group as to what may or may not be done with and for Russia. - To beak up the Genoa conference at this time would be little short of calamitous for France. Such an outcome does not seem to be likely, although it is uncertain that any material progress will be made, beyond clearing the way for another gathering, at which the real economic problems may be given consideration and possi bly brought to a solution. Deception in Trade Marks. The supreme court of the United States has laid down a rule for the guidance of manufac turers and merchants, the close observance of which will be of great benefit to the public. It simply amounts to requiring that the article sold under a specific trademark must approach the quality and texture the purchaser is led to ex pect by the trade mark or other advertisement. That is, if it is sold as all-wool, it must be so near all wool that no objection can lie against it en the ground that it is not . what it is repre sented to be. ' For many years complaint has been made that deception in varying degree has been practiced by manufacturers, whose wares have not meas ured up to the standard or met the claims made by the announcement. It is not -enough to set up in this regard that the purchaser is given a substantial bargain, that the article he has re ceived will prove as serviceable as if it were exactly as it is represented. The underlying ele ment of deception is fatal to the claim of hon esty. The principle enunciated by the court is. tnat contained in the Capper pure fabric bill, which requires that manufacturers label their wares according to their contents. Long ago pure food laws were .enacted to protect against substitution in food products; contents of container laws were found .necessary to protect against short weight packages or other containers, and there is no better reason for al lowing fraud in the matter of fabrics than there was in regard to food. It is not a pleasant thought that i the public must be protected by law against dishonesty on part of great concerns, but if the fact exists, the protection ought to be had without, delay. Fooling With the Courts. Omaha has had several exhibitions recently of how time of the courts can be taken up by proceedings that strike a layman as frivolous. Accepting as a necessary part of an attorney's duty that he give his client every possible benefit that may be derived from the law, and that he is permitted to twist technicalities into grotesque forms in an effort to free a prisoner, it Vet re mains true that even a lawyer should have suf ficient respect for the law to prevent him from making absurd motions. Judges are required to be patient, and to hear any plea an attorney of fers in good faith. This being true, the lawyers ought to regard their duty to the public as equal to that of any member of the public, and so be restrained by their own sense of right and justice from making such attempts to free prisoners on novelties and surprises. For example, because a prisoner has not been transported from the county jail to the state penitentiary w ithin thirty days of the time of his conviction and sentence does not seem a good reason for giving him his liberty. Presentation of such a motion certainly denotes xeal and industry on part of an attor ney, but it !m aiiumri (tut a lawyer more to hit client than he dr to the court. I'iml the dmiuittratioq of justice is freed front the nwut (.f technical cbttrurtwpt and cruji that rata been built up around it, criminal will proceed with no more of dread of punishment thn they now exhibit. More Than Votei Nefcd. Rel.anee on the power ef legislation t riht tthatevfr ii wrong i a characteristic of modern life. Deiirable the entry of woman into tha voting booth tut been, thi entnion of tutTrage may have emphaiUed unduly the importanet of political action. The tiggtt r art of lit it tha bread and butter and f hi comet from industry rather than out of city hallf, legislative cham bcr or executive oftket. The conference in Baltimore of the National League of Women Voter were interesting. The viewpoint wit well eprecd by Mr. Carrie Chapman Catt: "The vote of women it etu tary to aboloh the menace to tucceful t'emorraey. Illiteracy, grievance and indiffer encet niut be wiped out; machines and bottet mutt be deprived of control which they exercise through money and patronage. And minority tule must be abolithed through the choosing of platforms and candidate by the majority of the oter." More than thirty women are serving in state legislatures, the taid, and in Minnesota a woman is running for the United States senate. The in ference to be drawn from this it that through thi means the women folk are to put deeper im press on public affair. No doubt the wive end mother and iter and daughters of man are going to have a larger influence. No mat ter how many are elected to office, however, uf frage will not have achieved it purpoe unless the great mast of women take a real interest in social and economic matters in addition to politi cal affairs. Slowly the world is learning that people can not be made moral by passing laws. Human nature can not be set aside by legislative action, and no more can the law of economic be nulli fied by political action. In the home, in the shop, the office, the school, the theater and every fcld of human endeavor the influence of women may be a potent force for good. It is not solely through the ballot that life is to be made more fair, nor does the coming of equal suffrage di minish the importance of feminine influence in these nonpolitiral departments of life. Nebraska's Beef Shortage. There is a shortage of cattle on the western range of Nebraska. Credit is needed to stock the sandhill ranches, utilize their grass and en courage breeding. The conference of Governor McKelvie with Eugene Meyer, jr., managing di rector of the War Finance corporation, in Wash ington, it is to be hoped will result in more re lief than has thus far been available. Unless this financial assistance is forthcoming. many cattlemen who have labored for years, amid kaleidoscopic losses and winnings, may be forced out of business. New capital will later come in and perform their functions, for the world must have its beef. The main reason why there is little credit available for these cattlemen must be sought in the fact that the fluctuating market made cattle paper a risky investment. Many who lent on live stock operations in the past have lost heav ily, until capital is afraid. Once some assurance of profit in the range business is found, credit will come. . The brccdL.g of cattle is an important indus try. Certain changes, however, may have to be made to. meet conditions. Out at Alliance, where steers are brought in from the sandhills and put in the feed lots on the table land to be fattened, promise of this improvement is seen. Too many thin, grass-fed cattle are shipped to market when they might better be fattened on corn in their own neighborhood. There is a great deal of needless shipping of feeders and stockers back and forth. Ranching, like farming, is a manufacturing in dustry, and the more finished the product is, the better the chance of profit. America's Spare Tire. Toothsome roast pork became known to man, according to the essayist, Lamb, when fire burnt down the hut in which a pig was confined. Through somewhat the same course of events the conflagration in the New Willard hotel led to the discovery of the vice president -of the United States. Far be it from any suspicion that Mr. Coolidge resorted to incendiarism in order to gain public attention, although nothing less than the calling out of the fire department was required to bring him to light. Party platforms habitually promise more than can be performed, and the announced plan to make the vice presidency , a heavier or more spectacular position seems to have been beyond the powers of the republican administration. When the fire engines clanged through the streets of Washington', Vice President Coolidge did not for one minute think that he was to be cast in such a prominent role as a fugitive from Are. In fact, he and Mrs. Coolidge hastily prepared to go out and hunt up the scene of the blaze, just to have a little excitement. The public thus has seen Mr. Coolidge in a very human role. There is nothing panicky about this Yankee. He did not rush out in blue silk pajamas or come downstairs' carrying a canary. Nor did he, seize the occasion of the crowd to deliver an oration on the state of the nation. The vice presidency, after all, most re sembles a spare tire, which is designed for emer gencies, and not to be set revolving at every spark. ; " The Husking Bee lis Your Daij Start ItWithaLaui The Kentucky judge who ordered the arrest of everyone over 12 years of age in a certain neighborhood merely carries out the theory that the way to reform the world is to fill up the jails. Lady Astor has no cause to suspect that American curiosity has in any way diminished since she left home to become a British celebrity. The front page of the Monday morning papers gives little support to any thought that all the folks spent their Sunday at church. Among the list of things about as funny as a crutch, a funeral or the drama of "King Lear," enroll the annual Gridiron dinner. Wonder if those kevs of New York that were presented to Marshal Joffre included one to the cellar? to For a dry affair that Gridiron banquet seems have been a warm one. THE SLEETY AGE.
