No Bread Line
IFrom the Omaha Bee1

Amid the clamor of tongues re-
leased when war pressure was lower
ed may be heard the voice of Frank
Morrison, secretary of the American
Federation of Labor, who warns us
against the approach of the bread
line. Mr.. Morrison does not read
Alright the signs of the times. He
bases his statement on a Survey"
privately made for him, in which the
number of idle men in certain great
cities, guessed at by his agents, is
taken as a basis for concluding that
millions are out of employment.
Against this may be set the fact that
midwinter: is the time in this coun-
try when unemployment is always
greatest. January and February are
not a season of outdoor activity. Fur
ther, the redistribution of labor is
only begun and far from being ac-
lconiplished. While 1t may be true
that idle men are to be found in the
sities, 1t Is also true that in smaller
Communities work is waiting for the
hen to come and do 1t. If the coun-
tty can weather the next six weeks,
AID it probably will, the call for la
btr to take up the spring jobs will
be heard over the voice of the
th,ughtlesssa sagitator, and the lineup
at the pay office window will be i'm

The Prohibition Amendment
BY Theo. H. Price,
(In Commerce and Finance)

of the country have had abundant
time to consider the question in all
it's aspects.
The ratification of the amendment
means that they have finally come
to the conclusion that liquor does
more harm than good, and that
whatever abridgement of the rights
and pleasure of the temperate pro-
hibition may involve will be more
than offset by it's benefits. In this
view nearly all but the extremists
will concur, and although lawyers
may for a time attempt to thwart
the enforcement of the law by a re-
sort to technicalities they can not
long thwart the will of the people.
If there are any defects of phrase
ology or procedure in the means that
have been used to suppress the
liquor traffic in the United States
we may be sure they will speedily
be cured and most right-minded
men and women will meantime re-
spect the spirit as we'll as the letter
of the eighteenth amendment and
the statutes that will be passed in
pursuance thereof.
The economic consequences of
prohibition will be far reaching and
difficult to discern. !A4
Americas liquor bill is about two
billion dollars a year. This will be
saved, but against it may be put
whatever depreciation will be caused
in the value of breweries ,distilleries,
etc. estimated to have been worth
5000, 900. Many of them will be
converted to other uses, but putting
the cost or loss of the conversion
at half their value the net gain to
the community during the first year
of prohibition will be about $1,000
100000, or nearly twice the interest
on national debt of $40. 300, 900.
But we are inclined to think that
this saving, large as it may seem.
will prove to be the smallest portion
of the gain that will accrue to So
ciety when the men can no longer
put an enemy in their mouths to
steal away their brains" To it must
he added the value of the lives
heightened, the homes made happier
the better educated children. the
greater thriftiness and the increased
efficiency that sobriety will bring.
Who shall measure what these things
are worth in dollars? 1t is a realiza-
ton. of their immeasurable value
that. has made prohibition a fact.

Bad Telephone Beginning
lFrom the New York SUM

IFrom the New York SunJ
1t is not the conflict between state
authority, and federal authority
which will impair the country's wire
service. With The. telegraph and tele-
phone systems in the hands of the
Post Office Department., there can be
little doubt that in a test the national
power would override local claims to
jurisdiction and regulation.
What is going to injure the wire
service is the same thing which has
made such poor postal service and
which Is demoralizing the rail serv-
ice. This is the incapacity of govern
ments, national state or municipal,
to conduct business on business lines;
the impossibility of getting political
managers to look upon a public de-
partment as a business institution to
be administered only in the interest
of the business performed by it and
of the general public served by that
business; the hopelessness of getting
men in public jobs to do a days
work for a days paysas mon in near
ly all other jobs do.
The low efficiency which has long
disgraced the postal service is al
ready showing in the railways, after
only year of government operation.
At the very beginning Of it's manage
ment under PostmasterABurle the
telephone repeats thatkhistory. The
new rates. which were 10 be cheaper.
are for, much of the 1ong distance
traffic actually dearer. The users of
the service are subjected to an in
convenience which they were not
compelled to undergo when the old
toll system under private manage
nfent was constantly improved, with
decreased charges from time to time,
rather than increased.
If before. the war the s.American
people were in favor of gQyernment
operation of the railroads as a glow
ing theory, their experience with it
as a cold fact, IL we know anything
about public opinion, has turned
them strongly against government
operation. If the telephone service
makes as bad continuation as 1t
has made start with the new tolls,
new difficulties and new costs, gov
ernment operation of the wire busi-
ness will have even less popular ia

"HE Prohibition Amendment is

Forty States have ratified it,

NOUS adoption of the measure before

The amendment becomes effective
one year after its adoption, and on
January 16, 1920. the United States

The actual drouth will, however,
have commenced earlier, for under
the Jones Amendment to the Food
Production Bill'' passed by Congress

OUT WITH THEM

T EsTIMONY of Archibald E.
Stevenson, of New York, repre-
senting the Military Intelli-
gence Bureau of the United States
Government before a congressional
committee at Washington to the
effect that there is in America today
an organized plan to bring about a
violent revolution may be received
without much fear that such notions
will get beyond the talking stage,
for there is no public demand for
an overturn of government here and
if there were the people have in the
ballot an opportunity to change their
government as they see fit. But when
Mr.. Stevenson declares that in the
universities of this country there
has been a fostering mass of atheism
and the grossest kind of materialism
and of teachings destructive of our
forms of government and of the civil
lization which we as Christian ma
ton recognize. then it is time for us
to sit up and take notice.
This is not the first intimation that
we have had of conditions in certain
of our institutions of higher learn
ing that are alarming to those who
fear the influence of tainted minds
upon the young men whose current
of thought is constantly under this
baneful influence. We are old-fash-
4, % Na1f hnf
ity schools for example, might con-
fine themselves to teaching the
simple theology of Christ the
Saviour of the world and forget en-
tirely a lot of the tommyrot that
originated in the distorted minds of
European theologians, many of
whom were the paid creatures of
the German Kaiser.
If some of these universities do
not wish to find themselves without
the pale of popular approval they
would do well to get rid of the Scott
hearings who have been preaching
parlor Bolshevism to young men
and women whose minds are in the
formative stage, and who are en-
tirely untitled for the profession of
teaching by the very fact that they
are in entire disagreement with Am
erican ideals and principles of gov
ernment. The sooner the universi-
ties purge themselves of these
leeches the better for all con-
cerned.

LARGER STATE COLLEGE

l.
| u board of trustees of Penn
sylvania State College a new
and enlarged field of activity for the
institution in it's relation to the in
dustrial interests of the State was
outlined. 1t was suggested that the
State College Engineering Expert
ment Station be placed at the dis
posal of the State Highway Depart
ment in developing better methods
of road construction and operation,
offering of short courses of practical
study for county road supervisors,
mine inspectors, tractor operators,
boiler inspectors and other State ap-
pointed officials, and cooperation
was advocated with the State For
estry Department in devising and
putting into operation methods of
fire protection in the State reserva-
tions as well as harvesting trees
right for cutting and thus obtaining
some income for the State.
Another project proposed by Pres
ident Sparks was the enlargement of
the present night schools and ap-
prentice schools in the various in
dustrial plants in order to produce
more efficient workmen as well as
better informed American citizens,
and an extensive cooperation with
all rural agencies of the State, in
Guiding the country churches and
country schools, and systematic
survey of rural life, with a view of
enlarging the production, the mar
keting facilities, the conveniences
and advantages of country people.
President Sparks has wide vision
and his recommendations should
have not only the earnest considera-
ton of the college trustees, but they
should be drawn to the attention of
the Legislature that adequate ap-
preparation may be made to cover
the necessary expenses. State Col
lege used to be known as THE Farm
ers' High School," but it is far more
than that to-day. 1t is the States
own university, Offering educational
advantages to hundreds of boys who
could not afford the more expensive
schools. 1t should be considered as
an integral part of the States public
school system and treated as such
when the States educational budget
is being made up. AS DR.. Sparks sug-
gests, the opportunities of State Col
lege are not bounded by the school
campus, but are as wide as the State
itself. Where the aspiring lad cannot
go to college proper consideration
for his rights and the welfare of So
ciety demand that the college shall
be brought to him.
We have all recently come to an
understanding of the advantages of
the continuation school as it applies
to boy and girl workers within the
school age, and State College already
has demonstrated the benefit of the
extension of this system to the young
man of college age who for one rea-
son or another must work while
studying.
This branch of the institutions ac-
tivities can be indefinitely enlarged
to meet the growing demands for
training and education on the part of
boys and girls who must earn their
living.
