Mrs. Storer's S Story.

From Paris comes the tale that Mrs. Bel
lamy Storer is to print for private circulation"
a book that will give her version of the once
very interesting but now almost forgotten Dear
Maria" episode 1t concerns Theodore Roose-
welt, John Ireland, James Gibbons and Bellamy
Storer, and is to explain why Archbishop Ire
land was not made cardinal and prince of the
Roman Catholic church. When all the charac-
ters of this stirring tale were alive, its recital
excited only mild interest, and did not disturb
the current of events to any great extent What
good can be accomplished by a revised recital
of the details, now that those most concerned
are dead, is beyond surmse. Perhaps the an
nounced title, Theodore Roosevelt as Child"
may give an inkling as to its character. AS to
its continued privacy, we may be very sure that
it will not be long after the book is off the press
before its general character and text will be pub
lished so that all may know. Many of John Ire
lands friends thought he would have made a
mighty fine cardinal; quite few Americans
were convinced that blunder would have been
made had our minister to Spain and later to
Austria become seriously involved in an in
trigue of church politics. The controversy be-
tween the Storers and Mr.. Roosevelt was al
most exclusively theirs, and it might with pro-
prety be allowed to remain so.

Panama Must Accept the Award.

One Of the sad reflections in connection
with human affairs is that small things usually
cause the greatest trouble. Thus it is that
Panama, one of the smallest of earth's nations
has managed to draw an ultimatum from the
United States, the greatest and most powerful
OF all No distinction can be drawn between
issue, for all are equal before the law. On this
point rests the action of our government in
serving formal notice on the Panamanian au-
thoritics that they must accept the award of
the arbitrator to whom the dispute between
Panama and Costa Rca was referred.
The amount of territory involved is insig-
nihcant, but the principle is big enough to take
in all the earth. A dispute arose over control
OF little section of land where the territory
OF the disputants joins on Dulce bay. The dis
pute was carried on for some time, and became
more and more threatening, until finally the
governments were induced to submit the mat
ter to arbitration. Chief Justice White of the
United States supreme court was selected and
the case was laid before him. After full and
careful examination into all the details, Justice
White awarded the section in controversy to
Costa Rica Panama refused to abide by the
award, and took the field with all its forces to
resist Costa Rican attempts to occupy the
region. This war was ended last May by the
intervention of the United States government,
and since then efforts have been made to in
Auce Panama to abide by the White decision,
to no avail
Now, patience has reached its limit, and the
recalctrant patriots of Panama are notified
they must resign themselves to accept de-
cison even though it be averse to their aspira-
tions OF such things is life made up, and even
nations are required to 60 along with the de-
crees of justice The United States will gain
nothing in prestige or otherwise by compelling
compliance with the White award, but it would
lose mmeasurably>if if it did not. Were ever
Panama permitted to fout court of arbitra-
tion, the way to disorder would be open. That
is why it will always be necessary for even
powerful nation to maintain something OF an
army and navy, as processes of the court finally
must have back of them some agency to make
certain of their execution and an international
award will need to be supported by sufficient Of
force to make certain of their acceptance.
This instance will not lead to a catclysmic
war, but the terrible visitation that deluged
Europe with blood started over something that
on the surface was as trivial as the boundary
dispute between Costa Rica and Panama. Such
little things can not be neglected, for national
honor is far more sensitive and jealous than
individual, and public quarres can grow from
matters that privately would be unnoted.

Ford and the Railroads.

Henry Ford's experience with his own little
| railroad may hardly be taken with safety as a
criterion for judging his capacity to operate all
the systems OF the country. However, he has
one idea that rings true. Cut out the loafng is
his prescription. When railroad managers
boast of thirty miles day for loaded box car
travel they are, OF course, taking into consider
alton not only the actual distance covered by
all moving freight trains, but the relation of
that mileage to the entire equipment Of loaded
box cars. One that is idle at loading dock,
or has been spotted" for a consignee, or has
moved but mile or two in a terminal yard
cuts down proportionately the ratio OF travel
for the whole. If Mr.. Ford can improve this
condition, he will 60 long way toward solv-
ing the most intricate phase of the present day
transportation problem.
His notion of lighter locomotives and lighter
cars is not unique; in the August Atlantic Philip
Cabot has comprehensive and convincing pre-
sentation of the case for the New England
roads, in which he argues forciby and ef-
fectvely that the light engine and the smaller
car is the offer of salvation for New Englands
industries dependent on local transportation.
Others have been imbued with the same thought,
anu IL ildy Holu Boou loI tHdt ISSlOi N1i.
Cabot is careful, however. to differentiate be-
tween conditions III New England and conditions
in the middle west He views the long freight
trains and huge engines that ply the region west
Of Chicago with satisfaction, for they are doing
the work. Whatever else may be said of E. H.
Hartman and J. J. Hill, none will accuse them
of being mere exploiters; they were builders
in the truest sense of the word, and each has
left magnificent monument in the form OF
great and profitable railroad, whose success is
founded on the principle of heavy engines and
full tran-loads.
However, the meat of the matter has been
touched on by Mr.. Ford in his proposal that
"loahng" must be done away with. Greater
service must be had from the equipment in
service. This will require corporation of ship
pers as we'll as operators. An idle box car at
loading dock or on the customers private
sidetrack is just as idle as if it were set out on
the lone prairie. Not all the blame rests on
one side. When this is fully accepted and all
hands get to work to apply the remedy, the rest
of the solution will not be so difficult nor the
remedy so desperate.

Judge Boyd Again to the Rescue.

The procession of the equinox is not more
dependable than Judge Boyd, who occupies the
federal bench for the district of North Caro-
lima, in his opposition to attempts to regulate
child labor by federal enactment. 1T shall not
pass" is his motto, apparently, and the French
at Verdun were not more infexible than the
Judge on this point. Each time he has as
sumed the ground that the effort to set up re-
strictions on the employment of children is an
invasion of states rights, and beyond the power
of congress Once the supreme court upheld
him; he presents new point this time, in deal
ing with the right of congress to lay re-
strictive tax on articles into the manufacture Of
which child labor enters.
1t is barely possible that he may be mis-
taken this time, for the supreme court has held
in connection with the Volstead law that con-
gress may extend the police power Of the ma
ton to prohibit what is considered vicious, dan
gerous, deleterious or harmful; in this, of couse,
congress has the support of constitutional
amendment but no such foundation underlies
the law that forbids the shipping Of prize fight
pictures, and that law is at present being en-.
forced.
In the absence Of information as to the line
Of reasoning followed by Judge Boyd, discus
sion of his conclusions is out Of the question,
save as to the general theme He has second
time disappointed the hopes of a great many
earnest people, who were confident way had
been found to check child labor in the cotton
mills OF the south. His decision is subject to
review and probably will be taken to the su-
preme court, where the next chapter in long
fight will be written.

Theater Costs.
From the Baltimore Sun,

Whether the theatrical managers
who got together in Now York to
discuss lower costs are going to sue
ceed in presenting shows more
cheaply remains to be seen. And it
is also open to question as to wheth-
er the public will greatly benefit.
There is no doubt, however, that
American shows are expensive. Ger
tain operate and theatrical stars re-
ceive salaries about which, in these
troublous times. little Is said, and
the cost of stage settings, gorgeous
but necessary, is a constantly mount
ing item. Moving picture producers
bitterly assert that they cannot COM
pete with cheap. foreign productions,
even though they have the advan-
tage of quantity production, organized
distribution and a presumably clear
understanding Of what American au-
diences want. The New York meet
ing of the magnates talked about
stage employees and musicians, but
one can guess that waste motion and
Wasteful expenses are not confined
to the lower levels Of the profession
and its adjuncts.

At the County Fair.

This is the season when the county fair
blooms; but the man vino went 10 one forty
years ago and had not been since would never
recognize it for the same. Fashions change,
and the "punkin show and boss trot" of the
early days longer prevails. If anything
modern is to be had, it will be found at the
county fair. One enterprisng Nebraska county
announces a radio station as a central attrac-
ton for the current year. All Of them show
sirplanes, and races between automobiles have
superseded horse racing Of course. the fun
damentals of the county fair are preserved. 1t
still holds out the opportunity to compare re-
suits in all processes Of farming, with the same
difference that is noted elsewhere, all in the
direction of progress. Methods that once paved
the way to good results no longer are prac-
ticed, nor will the tiller Of the soil be content

What the Public Wants

When the principal mercantile houses in Chi
cago petition their Washington representatives
to oppose the high schedules in the Fordney
tariff, it ought to convince even the most ardent
protectionists that the bill is calculated to en-
rage the rank and file of the American people.
The house had gumption enough to kill the pro-
posed levy on imports of oil and hides. There
are other levies, and many of them which should
and doubtless will receive similar treatment at
the hands of the senate. The truth is that con-
sumers in this country feel none too friendly
towards business interests, because of the whole
sale grouping which was indulged in during and
after the war, and because of the many revela-
tions of extortion and graft in numerous trades
and industries. The administration will be wise
if it gives first consideration to the interests of
the public rather than the interests of this or
that powerful industry or group Let tariff leg
demanded by the people has been enacted. The
public will be better served by low taxation than
high tariH.-Forbes Magazine.

SPREADING INFANTILE
PARALYSIS.

We are in the midst Of the season
for epidemic infantile paralysis. Sew
eral years ago an epidemic occurred
in winter in Sweden, The New YORK
epidemic of 1916 was under head
way in May. But the rule Is that
the disease does not become very
prevalent until August and 1t is well
under control by october.
The fact that the disease prevails
during the insect season always has
caused insects to be under suspicion
as the spreading agency. nartlcularly
since infantile paralysis does not fol-
low the epidemic laws followed by
othed forms of contagion. 1t is GER
tain that ordinary methods OF quar-
antine Of the patient do not make
headway. Closing the schools has
not helped to prevent it from spread
ing. 1t Is not worst in the congested
districts of a city. Cleaning up seems
to make an epidemic worse. At least
when Newark cleaned its streets and
alleys thoroughly its epidemic got
worse and in the 1915 New York
epidemic that section which came
off lightest was the region around
Fire island, where the city refuse
is disposed of.
All in all it looks as II the health
officers attempting to control in
fantile paralysis have been watching
the wrong rathole.
For a long time 1t has been no.
ticed that when there was a good
deal of infantile paralysis among
people, limberneck in fowls and pa
ralysis in dogs. cats and hogs was
prevalent. A possible connection be-
tween the two conditions was inves-
tigated at Buffalo and in Vermont
The conclusion was that there was
no relation between the two con-
ditions.
Nevertheless DR.. E. w. Saunders
of st. Louis and his associates think
there Is a relation, and that a fly
is the agent which spreads the dis
ease among lower animals and in all
probability among mankind also.
The fly is the green fly called the
ilcilia caesar. There are many green
and blue bottle or blow flies, but
this one is recognized as being green
with a sheen of almost rainbow
colors. Lucilia caesar lives on decay
ing animal and vegetable matter. 1t
likes fish. but it will go farther for
a meal of boiled cabbage than for
any other food. 1t flies fast, travels
long distances, and is very wild. 1t
likes hot weather, but it can exist
even out of doors in the middle of
winter. The female lays her eggs
generally on meat. and in short
time the larvae or maggots have
out.
1t is these larvae which cause the |
according to Saunders and |
his associates. They have gathered |

up in a mortar, injected the mass

Freight Rates on Hay.

Omaha, Aug. 20.--'ro the Editor
| of The Bee: The Association or Rail
way Executives have published an
article under the caption, Has the
Farmer Real Grievance" in which
they say that some blame their
| troubles on freight rates" and claim
that this is the cause OF low prices
for grain and live stock. They say
| further that "the decline In prices
| Of farm products began before
! freight rates were advanced and
would have occurred If freight rates
had never been advanced"
Assuming the facts to be true as
stated in this article, that the de-
cline in prices was entirely due to
adjustment of conditions to the pre-
war basis and that prices on some
farm products did begin to decline
before the advanced freight rates be-
came effective. does 1t seem logical
for the railroads TO advance the
freight rates at the time that market
prices had started on the downward
trend? In other words. Just at the
time when farmers were being bur-
dened with lower prices, the rail-
roads, instead Of adjusting their
rates in the same direction. slap on
a heavier advance in rates than had
ever been made before.
Freight rates on hay were ad-
vanced 25 per cent during the war
time period, then further advance
of 36 per cent was rsade on the
increased rate, August 26. 1920.
These advances. together with the 8
Fer cent war tax. which is still ef-
tective. figure total increase in
rates of 1873 per cent over the pre-
war basis.
Between January /, 1920, and tie
time that the 35 per cent increase in
rates became effective, the average
price of No. / grade alfalfa on the
Omaha market was $:s per ton.
The average price at rhe present
time is SIG per ton. Since the ad-
vanced rates became effective, prices
of hay have shown a steady decline,
the reason being as we see it, that
the prohibitive rates have restricted
tho consuming territory which it is
possible to reach within the limits
of the transportation costs that the
traffic is able to bear.
The railroads claim that their in
crease in revenue has amounted to
GO per cent, whereas their increase
in expenses has amounted to 110|
per cent and apportion thair increase
in expenses to these four items:
65 per cent advance in cost Of ma
terial and supplies.
go per cent advance In taxes.
144 per cent advance in price Of coal.
124 per cent advance IN cost of
labor.
We do not question the correct
ness Of their figures, but it occurs
to us that perhaps the greater part
of the increase in the cost Of mate
rial, supplies and coal an be at
tributed to the prevailing high cost
of transportation which these COM
modities have to bear. the same as
they do commercially
If a business organization carrying

heavy overhead expense appor-
toned their expenses ON a small ana
diminishing volume OF business, the
selling price OF their product would
become prohibltive TO the buying
public and the organization would
soon go bankrupt
On the other hand, with reason
able prices within the reach OF the
buying public, the increasing volume
of their sales would yield satisfac-
tory returns and they would be pros-
porous.
This is precisely the position that
the railroads are In today. The
prices of their product (Which is
their service) are too high, The
volume Of their business is steadily
decreasing, as shippers will not ship
as much as they would with more
equitable rates, or else the shippers
will avail themselves with more eco
nomical means of transportation,
such as boats and auto trucks
A much greater volume of busi-
ness created by lower rates could be
handled by the railroads with the
same labor and expense they are
now under. Il. A. MATTHEWS.

A Breath of Sanity.
CFrom tho New York World. }

A return to sanity in the Russian
question may be noted in the dis
cussion of famine relief in the SUI
preme council of the League of Ma
tions. Premier BRAND remarked
that the Russian people, who had
fought with the allies at the Begin
ming Of the war, might justly look
to them now for help. To make cer-
tain that help should be given
promptly and effectively he pro-
posed that all the allies Join with
the United States and the other ma
tions who are interesting themselves
in relief through Red Cross societies
and other private organizations.
Mr.. Lloyd George, while expressing
himself as in hearty agreement,
pointed out that something more
than private relief would be neces-
sary. Relief" he declared, "must
he organized Immediately on a great
scale, not only for the sake of Rus
sia but for the sake of the world.
because typhus, cholera and other
plaques incident to famine would
cause more losses than the last war"
There Is no exaggeration in this
statement. Russia's danger is dam
ger to every nation on earth; it's
loss and suffering will be shared to
q certain extent by every civilized
people. If a quarter of the reports
of its condition are true. no private
agency. no combination Of private
agencies. can begin to meet the
situation. And in spite of all that
can be said in their disfavor the
people Of Russia are human, their
government is human. Every prin-
ciple OF humanity and self-interest
demands that Russia be salvaged,
whatever it cost.
The premiers of France and Eng
land are aware Of this fact. The
government of the United States.
