Feeding and Savlng Europe

We are but just beginning to realize what
tremendous work for the salvation of civiliza-
ton was done in Europe by Herbert Hoover
and his organization, and especially by such
men as Edward M. Flesh, treasurer OF the
United States Grain corporation, whose return
to his ST. Louis home has just been celebrated
by the ST. Louis Grain club and the St. Louis
Millers' club. The great quantities OF grain and
other food which were taken to Europe and
were distributed by Mr.. Flesh and Others. IN
every country suffering for food, from Holland
to Turkey and Aremenia saved millions OF lives,
More persons would have died from starvation
and an unknown number did die in that way
than were killed or wounded in the war; had
not the vision, the organizing ability and the
executive activity OF Americans taken to them
the food which meant life.
But it was not starvation alone from which
Europe was saved by distribution OF American
food in a systematic and large way. It was
saved from anarchy, from infinitely worse
chaos than now exists or has existed. Not
only was Europe saved, but America was saved
also, for with chaos and bloody revolution con-
vulsing Europe we could not have escaped We
are not escaping, asit is, our share of the much
miider upheaval and spirit of revolutionary de-
struction which pervades the world. Thankful

Socialism and the Trade Commission.

Senator Watson's charges that the Federal
Trade commission has been dominated by So
cialist influence is most startling That body
of such importance, with functions so vital to
the life and growth of the business of the coun-
try. should in the slightest degree be tainted
with politics. is alarming, and that it should be
brought even remotely under the control of any
group seeking partisan advantage is abhorrent
to its purpose.
Socialism has expanded slowly. enough in
America, for the reason that in general sense
it has little or no application to our affairs. OF
recent years considerable cult has sprung up
not closely allied with the MARKHAM, nor out
lined with especial definition, and all the more
dangerous because of its vagueness, which has
sought to deal with some of the great economic
questions through experimentation along lines
that are purely theoretical and the working out
Of which require conditions not at present at
tainable.
Generally some great business or industry,
developed through many years of patient effort
and wise management is selected for the labora-
tory purpose, and must undergo excisions, in
incisions, injections, subjections, and innumer-
able tests to determine it the conclusions
reached in some esoteric circle, where specula-
tive philosophy takes the place of sound reason
ing, are workable, Such trial will cost the
Investigators little, only their time and words;
it may be the ruin of the business, but that is
ofssecondary importance to the reformers, who
seek to anticipate the result of evolutionary de-
velopment by some hothouse method of forcing
effects.
Senator Watson has pointed out how the
Federal Trade commission has been brought
under the spell of group of this sort. 1t is
the spirit that has been manifest throughout the
course of the most remarkable administration
of public affairs the United States has ever sur
vived That the business fabric of the country
has survived is because of its sturdy quality.
That it can do SO indefinitely is impossible.
Progress. to which all are looking, does not lie
in the way pointed by the socialists.
Certain members of the Ministerial associa-
ton have put into resolution the falsehoods
about The Bee which they have been spread
ing from their pulpits, but this is not the first
time preachers of the type have resoluted
against this paper for being independent and
fearless in expression of opinion. The infer
enee to be drawn from their denunciation is
that they read The Bee regularly and not the
other Omaha papers, which have not only Sc
verely criticized the police department from
time to time, but went the limit in playing up
the assault that led to the recent riot and then
justifying the lynehing, for otherwise these
would have shared the attention accorded to us.
Our guess is, however, that the preachers ami
mus against The Bee alone comes less from q
desire to shield the fall-down of the police than
from the resentment of the profteers, the labor
crusiers and rent-gougers who divide with the
contribution box and who have not been able
to chloroform The Bee as they have the other
papers.

Our Free Legal Aid
Examination OF Jurors.
Let The Bee Advise You.

Examination of Jurors.
L. MI recently was sued and
carried insurance. The Judge who
heard the case made the attorneys
on the other side ask the jury
whether they were stockholders in
the insurance company. The pur-
pose was evidently to prejudice the
jury. The jury brought in q YER
diet in excess Of the amount of in
surance that carried. 1t seems to
me that ii was an injustice and mis-
trial, although my attorneys state
that under the laws of this state the
attorneys have the right to ask the
jury such questions. I would be
pleased If you would throw any
light upon this subject, and advise
me whether that is the law of this
state or not.
Answer-Our supreme court in
the case of Egger VS.. Curtiss. Towle
and Payne Co., 90, Nebr., 18, held :
where defendant in personal in
jury action Is indemnified by an
employers casualty insurance COM
pany, 1t Is proper for plaintiffs
counsel to show such fact when i'm
panelling q jury and to inquire of
each juror upon his voir dire II he
is a stockholder or agent, or in any
manner interested in such COM
pany."
Misrepresentation.
G. Fl. F.-About two weeks ago
entered into a contract to trade my
farm for some land in an adjoining
state. The person who made the
trade misrepresented to me the land
for which I am expected to trade.
In fact, after / had examined the
land I found that 1t was almost
worthless, whereas 1t was repre-
sented to be valuable agricultural
land and improved. Having known
the agent for many years I relied
upon his statement. Can they COM
pei me to go on and make the
trade?
Answer-Where an executory con-
tract for the purchase or exchange
Of real property at a distance is
made, and one of the parties makes
and the other relies upon a detailed
description OF the property disposed
of, which the seller guarantees, ma
terial Misrepresentation of facts af-
fecting the value are sufficient to
warrant a court of equity to set
aside contract In q suit Of the
party deceived.
Exemptions.
w. LII work here In Omaha, but
my family IL in Council Bluffs. My
salary was garnisheed. Am I en-
titled to $500 exemptions?
Answer-You are not. In order
to entitle a judgment debtor to the
benefit OF the $500 exemption of
personal property provided for in
section 521 OF the code, it must ap-
pear that he is a resident Of this
state, the head Of family, and that
he has no lands, town lots or houses
subject to exemption as a homestead
under the laws of this state. The
$500 exemption is In lieu of the
homestead, and nonresidents of the
state are not entitled to this ex-
emption.
