As Labor is Learning By
Experience

The fact of immediate Importance in connec-
ton with the great bitumnous coal strike is
that the men are to return to the mines at once.
But the fact OF even greater Importance. in the
long calculation is that they return on terms
which they could have had at the start and
which they now accept from the president after
definitely rejecting them two. wee ks ago when
rendered by other executive officers of the gov
ernment.
This means for the striking miners an ex-
and in needless injury to fellow workmen in
other industries and in needless alienation of
public sympathy, which is not likely to be lost
either upon themselves or upon all other union
labor.
Strikes undertaken hastily and without ade-
quate cause in nonessential industries react in
iuriously in their consequences upon organized
labor as wholes none the. less certainly but
slowly and unin1pre ssively,sy They may thus
seem to help the:so- Called solidarity OF labor:
and to promotes class CONSCIOUSNESS" But
strikes in essential industries like Goal mining
strike at the weil-being sof all labor as we'll as
of the whole community, instantly and by losses
of work and wages that can never be recovered
ers While the miners noWseo back to work in
this case, hundreds ofstholsands ofsfellow wage
earners have, been thrown out of work or put
on short time and must Continue so for many
days to come. @r-.
This is not a teaching for but against la
bor's solidarity, Thisis not a teacfing for but
against "class consciousness Il. is a teaching
Of community solidarity as the essential con-
dition of labor's well-being 1t is asteaching of
community consciousness as against all forms
of classism. No class of labor can hope to
starve the country into submission to any de-
1nands they may choose teS make, because their
own class must Be among the first to starve.
BY the same token no class 'bfAabor can hope
to freeze the country into submission.
This great lesson OF the coal strike is clear.

Government Must Be Supreme

In dealing with Alexander Howat, the Kan
sas mine workers leader Judge Anderson could
adopt no other course than the one he laid
down. So long as Howat houted the order of
the court the court could deal with him only as
it would with any law breaker. 80
Judge Anderson met the. issue squarely.
This man has openly and defantly disobeyed
the law" he said. The question, the court
added, was whether the government or the Or
ganizaton Howat represented was supreme.
The court ruled in favor of the government,
and it was a logical conclusion to the ruling,
valuable to the purposes Of the record in the
case, that Howat should have personal expert
ence of what happens to citizens who imagine
themselves to be above the law.
The country owes a big debt to Judge Ander-
son. He has decided the most important point
involved in the coal strike. Others can settle
the details as justice between the miners the
operators and the public best warrants, but the
case between the sovereignty of law in Amer
lea and its challengers has been settled by Judge
Anderson and settled right. Whatever is left
over is mere ncident.-Kansas City Times

Rockefeller's Munificence.

| Again John D. Rockefeller has made Won
| derful gift to the cause Of education. One hun
| dred million dollars in lump is quite bit of
money, even in these days Of billions, and de-
voted to the practical cause of education, it
ought to produce good beyond calculation Only
a short time ago Mr.. Rockefeller gave $4,000
600 outright to the Foundation, placing it on an
independent footing. This is supplemented by
$50,000000 to be used for the extension of med
ical education. Research work and instruction
in the. science of medicine, looking to the
amelioration of humanty's ills, is thus provided
for in fashion that insures its future. The
other half of the great gift is to go to swelling
the funds available for paying instructors in
schools and colleges. In the. administration of
this fund the board is permitted to expend the
principal as we'll as the income, and this is
taken to mean that the endowment of various
institutions will be increased by generous slices
from this princely gift. 1t quite matches the
Carnegie pension fund only the income from
which is used, and which has been drawn on
50 extensively that its limit was reached some
time ago. The Rockefeller foundation will en-
able professors to live just little bit better as
they 60 along. Radicals will insist of course
that the matter could as we'll have been at
tended to by the state, but the answer to this is
simple. The state has shown very little inclina-
ton to give to it's school teachers living wage,
while it has been quite solicitous of late con-
corning other of its citizens. "Old Jawn D."
has again used private funds to perform a pub
rlico duty, and has placed two very important
phases of national life little bit further beyond
the reach of the wolf.

Samuel H. Sedgwick.

Another great Nebraska lawyer and jurst
has been called. home. Samuel H. Sedgwick
was not strictly speaking one of the founders
of the state, coming here after the second con-
stituton had been drafted and adopted, but he
was one of the men who helped to rear the
splendid superstructure, founded on law, that
has made the commonwealth one of the unions
brightest members. AS a member of the bar he
was leader, because of his attainments, while
he brough to the supreme bench mind we'll
trained and poise of character that estab-
lished him we'll among the able men who have
made up the court. His contributions to the
framework of the law in this state have been
notable, because of their solidity OF logic and
clarity of reasoning. Like most men of his
temperament, Judge Sedgwick was quiet in his
life, yet he took more than passing interest in
affairs about him, and was thoroughly identified
with this civic life of his home town.

Language Teaching in the Schools.

The supreme court having upheld the NSiman
law, the teaching of languages in the public
and parochial schools of Nebraska hereafter
will be strictly regulated. Up to and including
the eighth grade, only English may be used in
giving instruction. Above the eighth grade
any language is permitted. 1t is scarcely worth
while to recount the reasons back of this. The
law was not adopted to interfere with the CIV
ing of religious instruction in private, denomi-
national or parochial schools, but to make sure
that children attending school in this state
should~receive proper and adequate training as
far as the eighth grade in the common Ian
guage of the country. They may be taught the
foreign languages in the home, or anywhere
outside of school hours. Any form of religion
may be taught Them but it must be in English
at the schools. No constitutional right is in
fringed upon, nor any of the inestimable priv
ileges of citizenship foreshortened by the law
which moves in the direction of more compre-
hensive Americanism.

Home Rule for Scotland

FUTURE OF THE RAILROADS.

From the White House comes the announce
ment that governmental, br presidential, con-
troll Of the railroads will be extended to March
j. This 10 because the conditions essential to
a proper transfer of the lines to their corporate
owners on December 81, as announced in May,
do not exist and can not be provided. The ex-
tension allows sixty days wherein congress may
compose the differences between the Esch and
Cumn,ins bills. and arrange basis not only for
the transfer, but for the future operation Of the
railroads.
Two points in this connection must be kept
in mind Limitation of transportation facilities
limits commerce. Railroad shareA can not be
sold when returns are restricted or made impos-
sible by rigorous governmental regulation.
Short Of absolute government ownership. 4
more sensible attitude must be assumed to-
wards the lines. Money is needed for ex-
tensions, and betterments to the tune OF bill
lions. Unless thi, money is permitted to earn
unreasonable return, it will not be, forthcoming.
In 1918 the railroads carried more freight and
passengers, and collected the greatest gross
revenue in their history. Yet operating ex-
penses had so increased that many former divi-
dend- payers were cut off the list of profit earn
ing properties.
This condition must be relieved or the
transportation industry of the country can not
meet the demands upon it. Commerce can grow
only as fast as it can be handled Just now the
railroads are swamped with the business Of
fered If new rails are not laid, expansion is
checked. Whether the government continues to
operate the railroads, whether they be turned
p,,tr, ~ T. :.,Ao
the hands of the stockholders, this phase Of the
problem can be answered in only one way.
More money must be invested in means for
transportation If this money is called into the
service of the people, it must be allowed to earn
something. Rates for the service must be
adjusted on such basis as will give something
for dividends after the high operating costs are
all cared for.

Blble In the Public Schools,

1
Ravenna, Neb,, Dec. :2.-To the
Editor of The Bee: I have carefullv
read the article which appeared in
the daily Of December ~ protesting
against Bible reading In the
| schools" - "a ..-
have taught in the schools of
Nebraska, both rural and city, and
| am speaking from my experience
and knowledge of pupils and school
systems, and wish to say that I
heartily endorse the policy of Bible
reading in the schools.
Let the writer of the aforesaid
| article remember that we as teach
ers. and in fact all public officials,
! should work for the highest good of
| all concerned, and it would not be
giving preference or credence" to
any one sect or faction, for all
Christian churches, yes, all law and
government are based on the teach
ings of the Bible.
We all know that the educated
rascal is the worst curse society has
to deal with today. therefore the
moral education is superior to and
more important than any other
branch of learning found in the
school curriculums Of today I
cannot understand how man can
live in a Christian land and enjoy
the privileges of a Christian gov
errment and Christian schools, all
outgrowths of Christianity as taught
by the Bible, and then raise a hand
In protest against its being taught
to the rising generation. Methinks
he would make far greater protest
If he and his family were banished
to some heather country where the
Bible Is unknown, and its truths
never practiced. Would he like to
have his children raised in their
schools, I wonder?
He also says. let the churches
teach religion. Now there are about
half of our school children who
never attend churches or Sunday
school of any kind I think II he
will look up the record he will find
that our thieves. burglars. defraud-
ers and criminals usually spring
from this class.
The bolshevists and anarchists are
all very much opposed to the teach
ings of the Bible, and forbearance,
as, he advocates, is the cry of COW
ards and weaklings when vice and
crime are so bold and defiant as
they are today. Surely he Is gross
ly ignorant Of the fundamental pur-
poses of our education when he says
it Is to fit them to earn a living, for
that has long been considered the
third, if not the fourth object in at
tanning an education.
Try to deny 1t or ignore it as we
may, we cannot get around the fact
that education without religion is a
failure-Germany is a good exam
ple-and it will continue to be
failure until the truths. as taught by
"The Man Of Galilee," the greatest
Instructor mankind has ever had,
are recognized and accepted as the
fundamental principles of all edu-
cation, and these are handed down
to mankind only through the Bible.
