A DRIVER.

A man there was uamed Henry Hive
Whose ones obession was to drive.
When he was quite u tiny boy.
He drove big nails for pure Joy.
Still later as college lad
He drove his father almost mad.
He drove car at breakneck speed,
Which drove his pocketbook to seed.
At golf they thought he was dub
He always used q wooden club.
But when there came a recent war
He found what he'd been driving for.
There was not any sort of drive
That didn't enlist Henry Hive
Except. OF dburse, you understand,
Plain drives troops made through No
Mans Land).
Drives to raise this and lower that
He was In all first at the bat.
And when the war was done instead
or quitting he drove straight ahead.
The martyred Reds. so much oppressed,
Weighed heavily on Henry's chest.
Statesmen and cops became forIorn
Beneath the lash Of Henry's scoru.
But as with passions too profound,
Poor Hive drove his into the ground
In other words, for lack Of breath,
He simply drove himself to death.
The doctor came and shook his head,
TOO bad he wouldn't work." he said.

France Under Presidential Displeasure.

The presidents rebuke to France in his latest
illumination against those who would protect
Americanism as against internationasm, will
be interesting reading in Paris. He declares
"militaristic ambition and imperialistic policies
by no means dead" but now in the ascendancy,
in France. He, however, declares himself "as
intolerant of imperialistic designs on the part
of other nations as l was of such designs on
the part of Germany"
No wonder Senator Lodge refers to this as
delightful passage" in the presidents letter. It
recalls at once the award of Shantung to Japan,
and the fact that the "militaristic policy" of
France is in truth matter of her self
preservation, made necessary by Mr.. Wilson's
holdup of the itish-French-American treaty
for the purpose Of clubbing France into abject
submission to his wishes. 1t is indeed "de-
lightful" passage-in all its implications and
suggestions-to republicans.

Check National Waste.

Grand Island, March 5.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Every other
day, when / take your paper in my
hands to read your editorials, l find
a few lines which tell me Of the
waste which is going on. not only in
our government, but also amongst
our so-called middle class. l have
watched 1t with eagerness to see the
result of it and once in a while some
new corporation is formed, some new
committee appears before the forum
Of the people and declares we have
to econ0mize-our waste is too
large-we must checks our national
waste.
1t is an old story and again and
again 1t has to be repeated The war
is over; let us go to work to recon-
struct, readjust the balance wheel
Of the world. In the new interna-
tional competition among the lead
ing countries Of the world, no coun.
try can hold its own unless 1t applies
with the greatest intelligence the
labor and brain power of the nation
to national tasks, and that country
will. succeed best which can best
adapt itself to the great social ad-
justments which will inevitably fol-
low the conclusion of peace.
Much has been done recently by
our government to check, through
the power Of law, new movement,
that IF organized labor. a new
economic interest demanding and
securing recognition, and already
exercising no small amount of In
fluence both upon legislation and
upon our business organization. Ex-
perience has shown that the greater
the abuse of power, political or in
dustrial, the more violent is apt to be
the reaction against it. Therefore If we
would avoid radical and destructive
movements, we must see to it that
evils are discovered and reformed
before they run to an extreme. But
to maintain harmony of interests,
we must be on the alert against the
domination of any one Of them.
and there is no element In our ma
tional life better able to give us a
timely warning and to act as social
and economic balance wheel than the
call on the eve Of our election. We
must check our national waste. viii

An Expert on American Farmers.

Much time and thought have been given to
railroad men, steel workers. coal miners and
other organized groups whose presence on the
job is essential to the industrial life of the ma
ton. Their demands have received great att
tention and their political strength is courted
with great assiduty. All this because of their
importance to commercial prosperity.
Now comes man to tell US about workers
Upon whom depend not only industrial but
human life--the farmers. 1t is cheering mes
sage he has in the New York Times. This man
who speaks for the farmersis Alva Agee of the
department of agriculture Of New Jersey We
have known him from his youth. He is Ohio
born, was raised on farm, and his talents
have brought him distinction as a practical
farmer and writer on farm topics Perhaps no
man in the country is better qualified to make
dependable survey and estimate of the charac-
ter, aspirations and fundamental principles of
American farmers.
Mr.. Agee tells us that the farmers, excepting
very small minority, hold to "the same Amer
icanism and industry and economy and regard
for the rights of property" that characterize
conservatism in the cities They do not take
to radicasm or class consciousness; are not
seeking shorter work days; are deeply inter
ested in better agriculture and rural life; work
and save and have no delusion that their saw
ngs belong to some one else: have become
hostile to government ownership; want no fur
ther economic experiments at this time; are
opposed to government price fixing and are
willing to- do a full days work and stay on
the job.
These conclusions of Mr.. Agee are not
surmise. They are the recorded convictions of
the American Farm Bureau Federation, ma
tional organization of large and representative
membership in thirty-three states, and the Ma
tional Grange. They are, as the Times says in
its headline over Mr.. Agee's article, "a solid
bulwark of conservatism" in Amerca
But the farmer has his problems. Labor is
high and scarce, and food production has neces-
sarily been put on commercial basis 1t hits
him hard when he fattens his hogs on high
priced corn, and when they are ready for mar
ket meets tumbling prices. When great indus
trial organizations were given prodigous prices
paid extraordinary wages and made gigantic
profits, wheat was held down by price-fxing,
which the farmer has not forgotten. When the
price of everything else was soaring without
restriction, the government made drive at
food prices, and the farmer has not forgotten
that. But it should be remembered that the
farmer did not get the prices paid for food
The railroads, the cold storage plants, The
truck men and the retailers all had their share
OF the ultimate consumers money, and it was
not small. But with it all the farmer remains
trustworthy, prudent, thrifty, hard working
American citizen, untouched by revolutionary
heresies and intolerant Of ideness, Mastefulness
and extortion.

republican. "I'm friend of his. He
isn't bad sort even though he is a
democrat. You're not as bad as l
thought"
"But what is there so bad about a
democrat? How is he different from
a republican,"
THE democrats and the repub-
licans are two different political
parties. The story of the differences
between them is long one.
"When the government was first
formed, there were no real parties.
Soon after it was started however, a
big question came up as to what
sort of government this was. Some
men thought it should have very
broad powers. Others were of the
opinion that its powers should be
very narrow. These two different
kinds of men got together into the
first great parties, the federalist and
the anti-federa1ist.
"But after the question which first
started them died down these two
parties under different names con-
tinued. AS time went on parties be-
gan to be better organized. Now
there is an organization clear from
the national committee down to the
smallest precinct
Now most men do not think of
the party to which they belong as a
side to any big question. They think
of it as a party instead of body of
men who think the same on a big
question. Now a democrat is a
democrat because he is one and a
republican the same. OF course they
take different sides on questions that
come up but often largely because
they are different parties and not be-

isn't the best way. Did you ever
use millscaie?"
Don't even know what it is"
"Well, it is a scale used in the
army to measure the height of
things which are some distance
away. If you know how far you are
from an object you can look at it
with the millscale and tell how high
it is. l reckon you could buy one
at one of the stores. I'll show you
mine some day.
But you can do the same thing
with a stick. Hold up yout stick at
arms length. so that the top of it
just comes to the top of the thing
to he measured. Then put your
thumb at the point where the bot
tom of the thing to be measured
comes on your stick. Now measure
the distance the stick is away from
your eye and the distance from the
ton Of the stick to your thumb.
Suppose you know the distance
20 the tree is 200 yards and your
stick is 20 inches from your eye
and the distance measured on the
stick is one inch. That makes the
distance in yards from you to the
tree Just 10 times as far as the dis
tance of the stick from your eye in
inches. ...-.
$50, according to law of geom-
etry that won't stop to explain to
you, the height of the tree in yards
ought to BE- just 10 times the height
measure on your stick in inches.
That makes the tree 10 yards, or 80
feet, high.
Suppose you find that the dis
Omaha daily bee., 1920-03-10

tance in yards from you to the tree
is seven times the distance in inches
from your eye to the stick. Then
the height of the tree in yards ought
10 be just seven times the distance
measured on the stick in inches"
"lf you uor't want to go to the
trouble of measuring the distance
from your eye to the stick each time
just measure your reach and re
member it. Your reach is the dis
tance from your eye to the stick
Thea the height OF your arm is held
