Share Honors With Crowder

General Crowder deserves the honors be-
slowed upon him. and the house at Washing
ton should follow the lead of the senate in the
promotion suggested. But II is not true that
the greatest success of the draft was due to
General Crowder. The success Of the draft was
due in larger measure to the several million
young. men Of the country who appreciated not no

impossible under the circumstances, and al

The fact should not be lost sight OF that it

One of Civilizations Dark Spots.

We have heard frequently of how the Ar
menians are being exterminated by the Turks;
now we get a glimpse of Mohammedans re-
treating before the Armenians. Major General
Harbord reports after passing through Armenia
that he was appealed to by hundreds of Mos
lem families, who were travelling in caravans,
fleeing from the regions partly controlled by
the Armenians." The report also says:
The outstanding fact evolved in traversing
the country is that it is suffering from an ap-
palling lack of population. Wherever the mis-
sion went through the mountains were found
village after village deserted or in ruins.
Aside from certain coast cities along the
Black sea- or on the Mediterranean, little or
no trade was carried on. 1t was misery I'M
adorned
Probably no such habitable territory in
the world presents such terrible signs of
desolateness as this and it seemed evident
that if some outside help which the Turks are
pleading for is not given. the country cannot
recover
And this in region that has a recorded his
tory going back to the dawn OF mans intelli-
gence! OF all the black spots on the record of
civilization, none surpasses in gloom the story
Of Armenia. Who is to be blamed for it need
not now be debated; powerful nations, our own
among them, will be held responsible il the
region is not relieved.

The Spirit of INSTRUMENTATION
From the St. Louis Glpbs-Dsmoerat.

Recently a jurist. in defending the courts,
said that outbreaks OF violence and riots, such
as have been so frequent in all sections OF the
country of late. do not indicate loss OF conf
Persons have been lynched whose punishment
by the courts nobody doubted. The jurist de-
clared that it indicates something much worse
than that. 1t reveals general defiance OF law
and unwillingness to submit to discipline and
rule. II shows general tendency OF every man
to gang his ain gait" It reveals spirit of in
subordination which is rife in the world. not
alone in this country. but probably less here
than in many other lands, though worse here
than in some This is not shown by riots only,
but by strikes of the nature OF many that have
occurred and OF two that are now in progress,
that Of the local unions in some of the printing
trades in New York and the strike OF the long
shoremen Both Of these, like the mine strike
in southern Illinois recently, are in defiance Of
the authority of the higher bodies to which
these local unions belong, and this defiance is
prompted by the spirit of general defiance Of
law and restraint.
There is in this spirit great danger to the
country, danger to all organized society. There
can be no organized society that is not founded
upon law and submission to law. That submits
sion may be voluntary or forced, but unless it is
voluntary it is not healthy, it is not democratic
and it is not permanent. Voluntary and loyal
submission to law and the will of the majority
mocracy is the very essence of organized So
ciety because, until man has reached the stage
where he does what is right because it is right
he is not yet civilized. This wave Of defiance Of
authority and reputation of agreements that
fail to suit the makers must be checked if indus
trial peace is to come. 1t will make little differ
ence what the Washington conference agrees
upon if the workers will not live up to the agree
ment or If the organized bodies which make the
agreements and are responsible for them are uf,-
able to enforce their authority. They have no
way OF enforcing it save by the enlightened SUBJ
mission of the workers themselves to the au-
thorty created by themselves and representing
them
Our problem is much deeper than that of
agreement upon working system between cap
ital and labor. 1t is the problem of bringing our
people as whole into a truly democratic state
OF mind, to realization that civilization is
founded upon order and submission to law and
that its highest form is an order which results
from the will Of the people themselves, to which
they loyalty adhere. This is the worlds prob
lem, no less ours as democracy of long stand
ing than that of newer so-caed democracies
We must not only return to that general state
of mind which respects law and authority, prop
erly constituted, which we had before the war;
but we must advance to still higher manifesto
ton of it if we are to have genuine democracy
and either industrial or social peace.

How to Thrive ON a Farm.


Wayne. Neb.. Oct, Ito the
editor OF The BeeA I read "a
woman's" letter In yesterdays paper
and could not help but see how she
was just looking on one side of the
question of Farmers and Labor" I
have noticed In most cases that a
good farmland gets good wages, and
II Is the fellow that knows little or
nothing who lowers the wages and
does not try to do any more than
just the task that IL set before him.
I wonder II she stopped to think
where would the laborer get the
work II the farmer didn't supply
ground, seed, implements, and last,
but not least. the push or keep
moving bower? There aren't very
many farmers spinning around in
their "super-six" and letting the
laborer do 1t all, for II they do, it
isn't long before q mortgage takes
1t all.
Just twice the hog market went
to $22, and how many loads got
that? You must remember that It
Is top price and not bulk or average
Just now 1t Is SIS, and last week
II was down to $13. And the COM
mon laborer never takes care Of the
farmers hogs il he has hogs that he
thinks will bring him top price. He
either looks after them himself or
hires someone that he can trust and
is worth the money that he has to
pay for that kind of work.
No matter where you go, you never
get something for nothing.
There are times, of course, when
we have to work long hours In the
field. But how many days are there
that we can't go at all? We are
farming 100 acres, besides raising
,125 hogs and milking three cows
this year. We have no hired man,
as my husband says this farm isn't
large enough for two men. And we
weren't born on farm, either. We
moved to the country three years
ago. We went in debt clear to our
heads and work like everything and
paving up as fast as we can. You
can't quit ct eight hours. though.
and call 1t a day. And you have
to be ready when opportunity knocks
and not sit down and wait for 1t to
come. for that never gets you any,
where. ANOTHER WOMAN"
Taxpayers View.
Omaha. Oct. 16.-To the editor Of
The Bee: Your article in Wednes-
days Bee, stating that "Bondsmen
may have to pay for burned records"
is timely and proper. Why should
an official be so negligent and allow
records to remain out to be burned
or destroyed when there Is large
vault. The action Of the treasurer
in allowing the records to remain
outside of the vault after having
notice from 10 o'clock that Sunday
morning, is the grossest kind Of
negligence, and he is legally re-
sponsible and should be held to &C
count. It is true 1t might take the
40 or SO clerks about FIVE minutes
to put them awav each nisht. but
that should be done. The taxpayers |
are paying for this to be done. and |
failure to do it renders such official
liable. Why should the county stand |
for this negligence Of an official?
