Legitimate Use of Capital.

Some persons, with peculiar obliquity of
vision, have seized the present as an OPP
perfume time to attack capital as it is repre-
scented in the large groups comprising what is
usually referred to as big business" Especially
has criticism been directed against the building
up of these groups of capital by the process of
reinvesting profits
1t is true that many of the practices of the
huge business concerns have been inimical to
the general good, contrary to public policy, and
that laws have been enacted to protect the
lesser combinations and the community against
unwarranted use or deplorable abuse of power
flowing from gigantic association of dollars.
Control thus sought to be established has not,
perhaps, always been eficacious but this does
not invalidate the principle.
An idle man is of no service; he consumes
and does not produce. An idle acre of ground,
or piece of machinery, any other agency Of
production, is of no use to mankind. This ap-
plies to the idle dollar which is agent of
production, vital to all processes. Unless it
be steadily employed its existence is worth
less. Following this rule, the renvestment of
profits in the business from which the profits
came is the legitimate employment of the dol
lar. 1t extends the business to produce more,
to enable the new capital to earn reasonable
income. In its operation it was illustrated
years ago by the cycle Of the farmer, who
raised more corn to feed more hogs to buy
more land to raise more corn to feed more
hogs to buy more land.
The process is amending, and will endure.
Its antithess is found in the bolshevik doctrine
of the destruction of wealth by the simple
process of consuming each day all that is
produced that day, starting fresh each morning
to produce ones breakfast before eating it.
Even that contemplates work and the employ
ment of wealth. no matter what it may be
called

The Comma of Lord GreA

There is no likelihood that the people of
the United States will fail to appreciate the
significance of the selection of Lord Grey as
British ambassador or that Lord Grey himself
will fail to fulfill the high expectations that will
attend his coming. The long delay in filling
the vacant post at Washington was due to the
anxiety of the British government to find
representative worthy of the post and one quail
flied to maintain and cultivate the close rela-
tions of friendship and good will between these
kindred nations, relations which are so essen
tial to the peace and progress OF the world.
There is hardly a statesman living today
who commands greater respect and confidence
than Lord Grey, and his response to the sum-
mons of his government to leave his we'll
earned retirement and in spite of grave physi-
cal disabilities to assume the exacting duties
of the embassy at Washington is thoroughly
in keeping with what the world has learned
to know of his devotion to duty and his deep
sincerity.
America is not unmindful of the compli-
ment implied in this appointment. 1t is with
out precedent in modern diplomacy for states
man who has filled the office of Foreign Sec
rotary to accept an embassy. But Lord Grey's
long incumbency of the London foreign Of
flee during the period of supreme difficulties
won for him position of authority and power
unique in our own time. Even though it be
understood that his coming to America is but
temporary, he is sure of cordial welcome
from a people and a government confident IN
the sincerity of his purpose, full of admiration
of his achievements in his own field OF straight
forward diplomacy and of respect for his at
tainments and experience. - Philadelphia

WHEN pERsH1No COMES HOME.

General John J. Pershing will very shortly
leave France to return to America, his work
over there being ended. So eager is the
anticipation of Americans, and such is
the Importance attached to his advent, the
president is reported to have given over
his plans for reviewing the Pacific feet
at San Francisco in order that he may
personally greet this great American soldier
when he lands. Omaha in common with other
great community centers Of the land hopes to
be permitted to entertain him, that he may be
given a notion of how he is regarded by his
fellow Americans. For more than two years
he has typihed to France and to the world the
best there is in the United States. AS COM
mander OF mighty army, he proved himself
capable soldier, devoid of professional jealousy,
Jealous in upholding the standard of his coun-
try steadfasty moving to the accomplishment
of the task set for him. That American arms
shine with a new luster as the outcome of this
tremendous venture must in large measure be
ascribed to the unfagging efforts of this mod
est man, whose honor is the greater because
his distinction rests on duty we'll done. PERISH
ing has won place among the illustrious OF
our land, and Nebraska is proud to claim him
as her own

Supply and Demand.

A correspondent of fhe Bee writes long
and earnest letter to the editor setting out that
the law of supply and demand is myth, ex-
listing only in imagination. Prices, he contends,
are artifcally fixed and have no substan- ial
basis. His arguments, ingenious enough, do
not support his conclusions, but serve only to
show the fog that has spread over his reasoning
faculties. The law of supply and demand is
fundamental, and controls inevitably. Its oper
alton may be suspended by the interposition of
artificial obstacles, in the way of price control,
arbitrary distribution, or some other form of
manipulation, but once these distractions are
removed the law will assert itself. Whether it
be admitted or not, the underlying cause Of our
trouble just now is the world shortage oc-
casioned by war waste. Demand is greater
than supply everywhere and for all material
things. Here there may be surplus, but there
scarcity exists, and the needs of the one affect
the abundance of the other. To shut your
eyes to this, and contend that government own
ership, price fixation, or any other single form
of interference, or all together will do away
with the everlasting principle is idle folly.
Economic laws are as immutable as moral or
physical laws and can not be forever set aside.

Strange Notions of People.

The officials of museums and picture gal
leres can sometimes tell very interesting
things about their visitors. 1t has often been
necessary to forbid men and women from en-
tering certain galleries where they have fallen
in love with pictures of exceptional beauty.
Men have become so infatuated with painted
loneliness that they have made themselves alb
surdly conspicuous. The famous picture of
Mona Lisa" turned the heads of many men,
and some women After Mona Lisa" was
stolen, many letters. poems and beautiful flow
ers were often placed before the empty space
she once adorned. Napoleon was one OF Mona
Lisa's" most ardent admirers, and when he be-
came emperor and found the picture in the
palace at Fontainebleau, he had it removed to
when it was taken to the Louvre.

Fine Point of Honor.

General Dickman clearly points to some
thing the world too often is inclined to over
look 1t is the moral obligation entailed in a
bargain When Captain Matlack of the Tenth
cavalry crossed the border to ransom the Off
GERS held by bandits, he carried with him $l5-
600, the sum that was demanded and agreed to
be paid He paid over only $500, and Sue
ceeded in escaping with the officers held and
the remainder of the sum. Now General Dick
man proposes that the $4,000 thus withheld is
to be turned over to the bandits as agreed.
The moral and ethical soundness of his position
can not be assailed. While kidnapping is a
crime, and these officers were in effect kid
mapped, to evade exact fulhllment of the terms
agreed to falls short of honor. If this pune
tiliousness were carried into the ordinary af-
fairs of life and given general application on all
dealings between men, the law courts would
lose most of their business the nations would
soon be linked automatically in league to
maintain the square deal for all, and the world
would be lot better.

The American Life

Omaha, Aug. 22.-To the Editor

This means an ingathering of del
egates representing 119 American

panies, domiciled in Sc states OF the
union.
1t brings also representatives of
so life insurance companies and or
CARNATIONS not members of the con-
vention, but deeply interested in its
work.
These 119 companies are the con-
SENATORS of the life policies of ap-
proximately 100000 policyholders.

amounting to more than $400.000.-
900 and assets exceeding $500.000,-

securities in the western and south

Inasmuch as the headquarters OF

ance center There are in this city
now six legal reserve life companies
having a total volume Of life insur-
ance of more than 100000, 900.

Nearly all the great insurance in

The people of this city will be sur
prsed to know that the combined

Too Much Jazz

The complaint of the actress against too
much jazz for breakfast, lunch. dinner and
lullaby will find plaintive echo in the breasts
of several million persons.
There is a time when music had undoubted
charms; against music itself there is no valid
objection, although no one has ever yet ex-
planned what induces man to take up the
study OF the bass drum But it is grave
question whether we have not been overpro-
grammed Life may be song, but If the song
is in syncopated time, instead of the gentler
melody mother used to make, the song may
fall fat on the ear. Even the sweetest of
arias pals if heard too often, and too long; it
is generally conceded that twenty-four hours
Of music in day is too much.
It is no reflection on our natural gay-heart-
edness if we protest that there is something
really inspiring in silence, and that music is
much more delightful when it can be contrasted
with nonmusical moments.
As for the musical hiccoughs for which the
modern publisher insists his public is waiting,
parched and gasping, that is easily explained
by the example Of the innocent lad and his first
drink.
Any vice soon takes good hold on the weak.

Remedy for the High
Cost of Living

Omaha. Aug. Ito the Editor
of The Bee: We notice that unrest
and dissatisfaction Is increasing
amongst the people from day to
day, not only the poorer and middle
class, but the bt.ter-to-do as we'll,
and we also know the cause OF 1t,
which could be remedied II taken
in hand at the proper time. II not,
It will be an objectionable crime
for those authorities who have the
power to do so.
1t is an open secret for anyone to
know that the so-called high cost
Of living is not caused on account
Of shortage Of commodities or la
Dor, but through the laxness of the
government to apprehend and pun
ish the guilty ones, the food hoard
ers. There are four kinds Of profit
eers-packers, cold storage houses,
middlemen and the retailers. All
exact an unreasonable profit from
the consumer. / believe we have
got law to get at those eXtortion-
lists. Every day we read about in
vestigation and probing by govern
ment, state and city officials, and
what does it amount to. When the
real point where the guilt lies has
been discovered it ends right
there without bringing the culprits
to justice.
BY raising the wages of the wage
Garner so per cent and raising the
cost Of living 100 per cent the
former does not gain, but loses, in
the end. Cut prices of necessities
Of life to normal, reduce wages &C
cordingly, raise luxuries as high as
you want, and the worker will be
contented. There will be no strife
and trouble between capital and la
Dor. Give the worker a fair show
and he will be loyal to his employer.
But the greedy, selfish profiteers
are good deal worse than the COM
mon highwayman. The former
will rob his victim every day and
get by unpublished; the latter will
rob you only once. Hanging would
be the proper punishment for those
human vultures.
What good does 1t do to tell the
people the investigators are going
after the proflteers and not accom-
plish anything? Action and result
that Is what we want, and the
quicker the better, before the peo-
pie lose their temper and patience
altogether. Cold storage plants for
one thing are great evil for hoard
ing and initiating the food prices.
The packer will ship his storage
food from one state to another in
order to avoid the cold storage reg
ulation law. I have seen carloads
OF melons, onions, potatoes and
peaches taken direct to hog ranches
If the commission men would sell
those goods at a reasonable price
to the retailer and the retailer with
a fair profit to the consumer, it
would not go to waste. but the COM
mission dealer withholds articles
which are plentiful from the mar
ket in order to create a temporary
shortage so as to make the con-
sumer pay two prices. The pack
ers are doing the same thing in
hides and leather. Make them
loosen up and there will be a great
relief to good many poor people.

According to one supposedly good

now pay $40 will cost us $50 next
year. There are two perfectly good
reasons why this prediction will
never come true. In the first place.
we have never paid $40 for pair of
shoes, and in the second, barefooting
is much cheaper, and, incidentally.
much healthier, so we are told. 1t
