CARLBON, Nota blle. Subscribers leaving the city temporarily sbould have The Bee mailed to them.

Romanoff cars are deaf to all sounds but the toot of the Golden Horn. Topnotch prices now await every product of the farm. Still, thére are farmers who assect with a straight face that farmers are not making any money. The exchange of greetings between Field Mar- shal von Hindenburg and Chancellor Bethmann- Hollweg goes to prove that the Teutonic Christ- mas spirit glows above the ravages of war. Congressional free seeds are condemned by the farmers’ convention as a waste of money. The closer real cultivators get to the seedy hand- out of politics the quicker”they reach for the hammer. If we except the State Teachers'association, no other convention gathérings as readily com- mand the double glad hand as the farmers and implement dealers. The city is theirs, to do with as duty and fancy dictates —— The quantity of “young blood” infused into the new British cabinet is not likely to develop excessive speed. The ages of five members of the war council range from 54 to 68 years, an average of 60 years. Youth is reserved for ac- tion at the front. —— ' Congress once more challenges the presiden- tial lightning by incorporating the literacy test in the immigration bill, The large vote on the passage of the bill in the senate is sufficient to override a veto, but it is mighty uncertain how administration senators will vote when the White House demands a showdown. At a time when boosting the necessaries of life is the sport of provision and fuel kings, mon- archs of the diamond ignore the rule and dis- pense joy in fandom. By cutting out sidelines of grait in world series games the managers spring a surprise calculated to tickle the bleach- ers until next fall. Moreover, the generosity involves no expense. The wild horse drama thrown on the federal screen in Omaha pictures man as a surprisingly easy mark and in need of a guardian. The vic- tims admit it. But mere man has no monopoly of failings, only he gives himself away oftener. Some eighteen well-to-do Chicago women ‘in- vested $80,000 in a chicken ranch enterprise engi- neered by a smooth sister, whose methods are under review in a bankruptcy case. The victims hold a sack as copious as the wild horse investors, Our Schools for Flying Scientific American Thus far it appears that the material forces of our new air fleet, which will be under the com- mand of Lieutenant Colonel George O. Squier, will in all probability be composed of about 179 airplanes for the army, which number is to in- clude high-speed pursuit machines, scouting ma- chines and bomb-dropping machines; 100 hydro- airplanes for coast patrol duty and 100 schoo! machines to be used in training aviators. The army authorities state that all the per- sonnel must be trained from uninstructed mate- rial. This also applies to a great extent to mech- anicians and chauffeurs. In the training of aviators it is planned that the schools will be of two general categories: First, the United States army aviation schools- such as the one now at San Diego, Cal—whose ! number, for the time being at least, is intended to be three; that is to say, one for the Pacific coast, one for the central states and one for the east; second, the civilian schools, maintained by manu- f'ul_mrs or others, which may be utilized for pre- liminary purposes. The country will thus be di- vided into three school districts and the command- ing officer of each army aviation school will have jurisdiction over all the schools in his district. It 15 intended to send aviation personnel for all for. mations, excent those of the regular army and possibly the National Guard, to civilian schools to obtain their preliminary instruction, after which they may finish their course at the army Our Right to Mediate. Senator Stone at St. Louis gave utterance to personal views on the right of the United States, | or any neutral similarly situated, to present a demand that peace be restored in Europe, but it may be shrewdly guessed that the chairman of the senate’s committee on foreign affairs is voic- ing at lcast the thought of the White House Since the announcement of the German note we have been assured that Mr. Wilson has seriously considered accompanying his transmission of the document with expressions of his own. The pro- priety of such a proceeding is doubtful. As presi- dent of the United States he has been asked. to present to those governments represented in Ber- lin by the United States a formal notice that Ger- many and its allies are ready to consider pro- posals looking to an end of the war. It would seem that his duty ends with the transmission of the note as received. To advise one way or an- other as to its reception would go beyond the re- quirements of the service and even surpass the limits of neutrafity. That the United States, in common/ with all other neutrals, has suffered ma- terially through the war is not to be questioned. That fights have been contravened and privi- leges ignored is admitted, but it does not appear that the moment for intcrvention has yet rived, while mediation must await the good time of the belligerents, The tender of good of- fices, made more than two years ago, is as far as this or any other neutral nation can go without risking the danger of being brought into the war. It is nou likely that any of the European powers is unaware of our willingness to assist in restor ing ordgr and we can well afford to wait until they anrady to ask us to take part ar- Strength in Co-operation. The sessions of the farmers’ co-operative or- ganizations, just ended in Omaha, have given further proof of the necessity for team work in achieving success. [t is a tribute to the effective- ness of the nrgan(zahnn that it could meet and discuss widely varied interests and come to defi nite conclusions on points of importance. Ne- braskans themselves scarcely realize what a di- versity exists within their own state; how widely separated are physical conditions in different parts of the state; how all the elements of the great industry of agriculture are represented, and the many points that must be adjusted in order that each may thrive as it should. But the delegates to the convention managed their business with tact and wisdom, and found at the end that har- mony of purpose prevails, and this naturally leads to harmony of interest, and the future will sec the development 6f a community between the va ried branches of the industry that will good to all. | bring Hopeful Signs of Peace. Among the indications that the nations now at war are willing to listen to peace parleys is the avidity with whi.ch each scizes on the oppor- tunity to state terips on which peace will be ac- cepted. It doesn’t particularly matter that these terms for the most part are such as a generous conqueror migh submit to a vanquished foe whose friendship it was desirable to restore at once. That was to have been expected, for, as already pointed out in The Bee, none of the belligerents has been beaten to a point where defeat will be admitted. Therefore, first informal statements of desires are made up to include about everything that might seem of advantage to the side making the proposition. All these are subject to exten- sive revision and will be modified to such a point as will cover the just rights of cach of the ne- gotiators, Quite interesting is the suggestion from Ger | many that for the future national alliances must be on lines materially different from those pre- vailing in the past. Coalitions, such as the Drei- bund, tend incvitably to war, and, for the mat- ter of that, were formed with the pgssibility of war in view. The peace of the world will require that alliances be broader and more comprehensive, including such combinations of nations and having in view suth objects as will forestall as far as possible any tendency to war. It is what the League to Enforce Peace has in view. Trade alli- ances will then have to be fashioned on a basis that will more completely serve the interests of all the nations. The success of such an arrange- ment will necessarily depend on the willingness of each to forego its own advantages for the good of all. Here is the obstacle that will cause | most trouble in the future, just as it has in the past, r That the belligerents will even tentatively ap- proach debate of terms of peace is encouraging. It means that the passions of battle are cooling | and that anger and pride are giving away to reason to that extent. Almost twenty-nine months of terrible destruction has carried a message to the world, and the reply may now be expected. Passing Out the Pie. Governor-Elect Keith Neville is just now hav- ing the time of his young life trying to evade the clamorous horde of hungry democrats, each claiming the right to sit at the table and par- take of the bounty that has again fallen into the clutches of the party. Those who are closest to the governor-elect admit they know very lit- tle of his plans. Those who have hitherto posed as prophets for the donkey are also at sea, while the rebuff encountered by Chairman Langhorst gives color to the belief that Mr. Neville either has a mind of his own or a machine of his own | and doesn't feel the need of advice or stance from outsiders. Add to this the fact that so far as his personal appointments are concerned he will be replacing one democrat with another and that the places are far too few to anywhere near meet the demands, and the perplexity of the pie-passer may be appreciated. It is one of the penalties of | winning, though. S | When Uncle Sam takes over the Danish West Indies two famous fountains of shivery romance come under the protecting folds of the flag. Bluebeard’s and Blackbeard’s castles radiate a gruesome literary atmosphere on the islands, but they are not as fearsome as pictured. Besides | their value as a tourist attraction they afford advanced women an opportunity to glimpse the fabled haunts of tyrant man long since dead. Attributing criminal acts to “a frenzy of drink” might get a respectful hearing in Nebraska for a few more months, but it ‘will not work in Iowa. The Hawkeye state hasn’t had the means of “wetting its whistle” for eleven months. Congress quietly shebved all the bills designed THE _BEE to hit the rising cost of living. By shifting the aviation schools and obtain their military avia- | problem to investigators and grand juries the tors' yafit_\g. “ The High Cost of Dying John Burroughs, in New York Times 1f one could figure out why the cost of dying, yes, and why the cost of being born, also. has So gone up in the last fifty or more years, he might be able to throw some light on the much discussed question of the high cost of living. Both birth and death have in our time become very expensive luxuries, and one had better think twice or thrice before he indulges in them. In the first case there is danger that he ! bankrupt his parents and in the latter case that he will im- poverish his heirs. If he contemplates making his advent in, or his egress from, one of the great cities, say, New York, let him beware. Let him put it off as long as he can. Let him change the venue to the country; he will find the terms hard enough then, And the reason is that we demand so many com- forts and conveniences and luxuries and clegan- cies, even in the country. We must be nursed into the world and nursed out of it. We must be born sumptuously and be buried luxuriously. The time I selected to come into the world nearly eighty years ago, things were different. Neither the standards of birth nor of death had taken such a rise, I doubt if it cost my parents $5 to launch me fairly on my career. One or two visits from the old village doctor with his leather saddle-bags, 4 call of a night or a part of a day from a neighboring housewijfe, a little extra care and attention from the “hired girl,” and the cri sis was safely passed. A trained nurse was never dreamed of, or heard of. And in a couple of weeks mother was probably up and around about her business—skimming milk and packing butter. If I had decided to die after a week or ten days’ illness, on reaching man’s estate, the cost to my family would probably not have exceeded $25 or $30. Say ten visits from the doctor, three miles away, a good cherry coffin made by the local cabi net maker good enough for a king—no under- taker. no hired carriages, no vain show, the coi- fin taken to the church in a farmer’s “pleasure wagon,” then borne to the cemetery by the hands of neighbors, and the grave filled by the same hands--and all is over! But the old simplicity, the old homely ways are gone and the showy, high-priced, fussy new ways have come in. There is a vast army of trained nurses to be supported, and a vast army of doctors to be supported and to persuade you or command vou to employ a trained nurse. A friend who had been referred from special- ist to specialist, for whom trained nurses, a mas- seuse, sequestration, special diets, and various other remedial measures had been adopted, was naively assured by her last trained nurse (who was about to he dismissed that a nurse for other specialties might be installed), “Really, Mrs. N-—, it would be cheaper for you to dic.” In the household of another acquaintance [ recently learned of there having been five different specialists, and as many traincd nurses, called within cight days Yes, and there is a member of the coffin trust in every village to tax you $100 for a sham but showy caffin and the use of his dismal trappings and funcral properties. No special class of persons is to hlame for this change. 1t is the spirit of the times, the in crease in wealth, the rise in the standard of liv- ing, the growth of pride, the rivalry and competi- tion in all departments of life, the decay of sert- ous-mindedness, of humility, and the shifting of the standard of values from the real to the mere- tricious among the people. Price Boosting Offenders New York Journal of Commerce The national government’s inquiry into the cause of high prices, as directed by the president and cabinet, seems to have no legal resource ex- cept a hunt for something unlawfu_l that may be made the occasion for prosecution on some ground. Directed by the Department of Justice, through one of the United States district attor- neys, it is to work through grand juries in=dif- ferent parts of the country, whose function is to inquire into violations of law and bring indict- ments against accused persons where sufficient evidence is found of conspiracy, unlawful combi- nation or other offense against national law. The fruitfulness of this method is open to a good deal of doubt so far at least as food supplies arc concerned & The most tangible thing in sight for this kind of investigation seems to be the advance in the price of coal. The Interstate Commerce com mission is said to be working up evidence relating to car shortage and irregular coal shipments on various hnes of railroad, with detentions and de- lays. The question seems to be whether there was in this a conspiracy or any unlawful design to put up the price of coal. Thus far this and other incidents relating to shortage in supply or in means of delivery and to withholding from mar- y matters of inference or suspi- cion. y be well to have a sifting of the facts and there should be penalties inflicted where real offenses have been committed, but this is apt to be a slow process, without much publicity until re actually tried. here is not much to be expected from this process. The most effective thing would be a concerted exposure all around of the truth of mat- ters by local and other authorities, to, bring the power of public opinion to bear against real of- f(‘? 5. Irading in what people live upon is pe€tty free and it can be made more profitable by honest and fair dealing than by underhand methods for getting gain. There dre few things which people are compelled to buy at places where they arc imposed upon. Exposure and dis- crimination may be made more effective than prosccution, except where flagrant violation of law can be shown. Anti-Joker Amendment Minneapolis Journal’ The United States Chamber of Commerce has ordered a referendum on a constitutional amendment empowering the president to veto any item of an appropriation bill without disapproving of the whole measure. The obvious benefits of such an amendment will doubtless lead the various commercial organi- zations of the country that make up the cham- ber to vote heavily in the affirmative. - The measure might be entitled “A bill for a constitutional amendment to abolish the ‘joker’ in appropriation bills.” Under the present system of requiring the president to approve appropria- tion bills in block, or to subject the government to the inconvenience and hardship of a veto hold- ing up the money supplies, unscrupulous commit- tee chairmen and conferees slip in “jokers” that couldn't possibly pass congress or receive presi- dential approval on their own merits. There was a typical example of this when Chairman Hay of the house military affairs com- mittee inserted in the army appropriations bill last summer a provision that would have forced the president to appoint a personal and political friend of Mr. Hay to a high-salaried position un- der the judge advocate general. Mr. Hay’s in- genious little plan was exposed in debate, and | that eminent pacifist and army-wrecker was forced to withdraw it. But too often the “jokers” go through, be- cause the success of the bill itself must not be jeopardized. There are also the “riders,” whereby general legislation that cannot get through in the regular way is sometimes effected. Such measures ride through congress on the b of appropria- tion bills which have the right-of-way The way to stop such reprehensible methods is to give the president the power to veto any item in an appropriation bill. Here in Minne- sota the governor has this power and its use has proved salutary. An effort was made in the last election to adopt a constitutional amendment per- mitting him to reduce any item in such a bill, but politicians unload both responsibility and worry, | it failed to get the necessary majority.
