Charles Evans, Jr., American amateur
golf champion. showed his championship
form at Hoylake to-day when he, teamed
with Bobby" Jones. played T. d. Ar
mour and H. Fl. Hilton and won by two
up and one to play. Armour and Hilton
are among the foremost of British anna
teur golfers and a great gallery followed
the stars, because the play, 1t was
believed. would give some idea of what
might be expected next week.
The match was close and beautifully
contested and when the players reached
the fourteenth hole the game was all
square. Then the Americans showed
brilliant tactics ard won the fifteenth in
three. The sixteenth was Aalved in four.
The Americans scored again at the sew
enteenth, which they took with a three.
giving them the match.
Evans, although he has been at Hoy
lake only few days, Is In fine condition
and with Jones, Francis Ouimet and
Jesse Guilford, Is going strong. All OF
these American players are now well
acquainted with the difficult course and
at this stage all OF them look we'll They
are praeticing faithfully and are smooth
ing their game.
The vanguard Of experts. critics and
enthusiasts has arrived at Hoylake and
Is arranging for quarters there and in
Liverpool 50 as TO be on hand when the
international match starts Saturday.
The British team has not yet been def
nitely selected, but the best amateurs
are available for IT,
WSrm summer weather Is favoring the
American players. and 1t looks as though
excellent conditions will prevail. The
sun dried course, 1t is believed, will give
the visitors the advantage.
Many persons who will witness the
matches are arriving at Hoylake early
because of the crippled train service. and
already a tremendous crowd for the
games Is certain

LONDON, May 1s.-The main topic OF
interest of the moment in British golfng
circles is what will be the outcome Of
the match which is to be played Satur-
day at Hoylake between teams repre-
senting the United States and the United
Kingdom Experts here are generally
agreed that Great Britain will have to
put forward her strongest contingent of
golfers to form q team worthy of meet
ing the visitors. The teamg will be
made UP OF eight men or each side.
1t is generally assumed that places
on the local eight win be given to the
amateur champion. Cyril Tolley, and E.
w. Z. Holderness. the latter of whom
Is one of the favoritee for the coming
championship. and NJ. w. Seymour, who
recently won the golf illustrated gold
vase from n representative field.
OF the American players a great i'm
preston has been made by Jesse Gull
ford of Boston and DR.. Paul D. Hunter
or Los Angeles. both of whom have
played over the Hoylake links in 70.

Treaty With Germany
From the New York World.

Hiram Johnson. according to re-
ports from Washington, is "all het
up" because he cannot learn some
thing about the separate peace ne
gotiations that the Harding admin
istration is conducting with the Ger
man government.
Surely the senator from California
does not intend to make fuss about
4 little thing like that. To be sure,
there is a complete absence of in
formation as to the nature and scope
Of these negotiations. Ii fact. the
State department has never publicly
admitted that it had submitted pro-
posals to Berlin, but that is neither
here nor there. Secret diplomacy is
a vice of democratic administrations.
1t cannot happen under republican
administration, and IL it happens 1t
is not secret diplomacy.
1t is necessary that a democratic
president be compelled to carry on
all foreign relations publicly in La
fayette Square to the accompaniment
Of the Marine band In order that the
populace may know exactly what is
going on at every step in the pro-
ceeding, but when republican
president is in Office concessions
must be made to the ordinary ameni-
ties of diplomacy.
Hiram Johnson in due time will
find out about the treaty with Ger
many. Mr.. Harding will submit to
the senate and point out the dotted
line on which the senate Is to sign.
And the senate will sign, because Mr.
Harding is a republican and the sem
ate is republican. Its concern about
open diplomacy applies only to
democrats.

Cardinal Principles
From the Toronto Mail and Empire.

The three cardinal principles upon
which the United States will rely at
the disarmament conference are
stated to be: Open door in far
east, integrity Of China, and integrity
of Russian Siberia. There is nothing
in these principles that Japan can
legitimately object to. Undoubtedly
the Toxic delegates will stress what
is known as the Lansing-Ishii agree
ment, which recognized preferen-
tial position for Japan in the foreign
relations of China because Of Japan's
economic leadership Of the far east,
and her poximity to China. But
that agreement did not convey to
Japan any consent from the United
States to exercise any exclusive
rights in China. 1t did not abandon
the open door" policy. The 21 de-
mands pressed on China by Japan
during the war were a masterstroke
to bring Chinese administration un-
der Japanese influence, if not direct
control. and were at no time con-
sidered to be consistent with Chinese
integrity. They included require
ment that Japan install officials at
Pekin to assist in the direction of
Chinese foreign relations, that Japan
be first called upon for financial or
other help, that Japan have a IA
vored trade position. and in other
ways were peculiarly Objectionable.
AS far as Siberia is concerned. the
Japanese remained long after other
nations withdrew their forces. The
example of Korea is fresh in the
minds of the world, and illustrates
Well that Japan is still ruled by mill
tarists whose general outlook re-
sembles that of the war lords of Ber-
lin. Apparently Japan does not
want to engage in the conference.
but cannot we'll be absent.

Greatest Man On the World.

A correspondent of Our neighbor the Eve
ming Post has been quizzing, among the scholarly
shades of Wliamstown, certain great men to
find out who was the greatest man the war pro-
duced.
Viscount Bryce named trio-Mazaryk,
Venzelos and Smuts. Baron Korff, remarking
that he hated Lenine, doubted whether there
was greater man in the world than the soviet
dictator. Other scholars made such widely
different selections as Wilson, Keynes and Debs.
Our own nomination for greatest man in the
world is John Smith. He was the greatest man
the war produced, for he made the guns and the
shells, the ships and the tanks, the tents and the
trenches He manned the fleets, submarines
and airplanes. He went over the top.
John Smith was the greatest man in the
world in the old stone age and he will continue
to be so until that drear time when the stand
ardized human being predicted by H. G. Wells
has arrived
1t is John Smith who plows and harvests,
writes and reads, loves and hates. He makes
clothes and composes ballads mows lawns and
runs banks. He gives Is cents for collar or
twenty-five billions for war with equal grace.
He pays the way of the Mazaryks, Venizeloses
and Smutses.
Remove John Smith from the world and
what famous statesman could keep on living?-

End of a Costly Venture.

When the railroad relief bill was passed by
the house it was another step toward the final
settlement between the government and the
railroads of all claims growing out of the period
of government control. Whether in the end
the measure will have the effect of restoring to
usefulness the transportation industry, it is
very certain to accomplish one thing. The bill
as passed by the house contains clause pro-
viding that acceptance of funds under the law
will operate to
forever bar such carriers from setting up any
further claim, right, claim or demand OF any
kind or character against the United States
growing out Of or connected with the posses
sion, use, or operation of such carriers prop
erty by the United States during the period
of federal control
What the American people are anxious to
see is the end of an experiment that has so far
cost the government $2,o000O0,000, and will
still further add to that figure by considerable
amount before the accounts are finally closed.
Admitting that everything that was done as a
war emergency was done with good intent and
had the effect of sustaining the morale of the
country, it remains true that many mistakes
were made, and that none OF these was greater
than the effort to suddenly weld into one uni
fed whole the vastly distributed and greatly
diversified railroad system. 1t will be forgiven
probably, but not until the drain on the treasury
incident thereto has ceased.

President and Senate.

Another Of the academic points in connection
with the general scheme of Our government has
afforded momentary diversion in the senate,
where certain Of the gentlemen in opposition
have criticized the president for having person
ally addressed the body on the subject of SOL
diers' bonus bill. With bowed heads and hushed
voices, these discouraged senators lament the
fact that that distinguished body has been ex-
tnguished and its long and honorable career
ended, because the president of the United
States came before it and gave some informa-
tion and advice with regard to a pending
measure.
Section Of Article II OF the Constitution
OF the United States says, defining the duties of
the president:
Section g. He shall from time to time
give to the congress information OF the state
of the union, and recommend to their consd-
Grafton such measures as he shall judge neces-
sary and expedient.
Nowhere in the law is any manner pre-
scribed for the communication by the president
with the congress In carrying out this instruc-
ton of the constitution. He may address the
house, the senate or both in joint session, either
in person or by writing, and do it with perfect
propriety. Indeed, he would be remiss in his
duty did he not so address the legislative
branch when he judges such action to be neces-
sary or expedient. The theory that the execu-
tive should withhold his presence entirely from
the sacred precincts of the legislative chambers
is long out Of date. 1t had its beginning in
the quarrel between Crown and Commons back
in the sixteenth century in England. Royalty
commissioned governors sat in the legislative
chambers in the colonies, to see that the will of
the crown was carried out When our republic
was set up, its constitution was so framed as
to divorce executive, legislature and judiciary,
but left them coordinate in power. That ar
rangement has not been disturbed.
Experience has shown that the advice of the
executive is both necessary and desirable to the
proper preservation of the government at all
times. This applies all the way down from
Washington to the smallest community organ
lied under corporate charter. In a great ma
jority Of cities and towns, the executive head
sits and votes as member of the council. The
practice is good.
To bar the approach of the president to the
senate, or the senate to the president, as was
the case few months ago, is foreign to the plan
OF our government, and would result eventually
in such breach as might jeopardize our insti-
tutions. Those senator's who so solemnly pro-
tested against Mr.. Harding's addressing the SEN
ate in person to influence its action by his ad-
vice are relying on the carelessness of their
listeners to score an uncertain point.

Dyes and Defense.

Enemies of the move to give special and ex-
traordnary protection to the dye industry are
waging a bitter battle on the grounds that such
protection will place American consumers at
the mercy of American plants. There is some-
thing in the argument but has the country so
quickly forgotten the lesson of the war in the
matter of dye and chemicals?
America relied entirely Upon German dye
stuffs before 1914 The German plants had
slain calmly all attempts at creating an Amer
ican dye industry. They had seriously handi-
capped the American chemical industry also.
Carbolic acid rose to unheard-of figures. Coal
tar products i'll general scared to the ceiling
and stayed there. Dyes Immediately rose in
price and refused to come down. Dyes were
boarded; hidden in deposit vaults.
Why? Because we had few chemical
works of importance and no dye-making plants.
We found it necessary to start from the toun-
datons. Men had to be trained, processes in1-
provised and ten years OF research and expert
mentaton done in two.
Germanys chemical and dye plants were the
most powerful of all the German arms for war.
In the end they counted for more than Aus
tria's Skodas the Krupps of Essen. Modern
war is battle of chemicals and explosives,
gases and formulae.
The world is talking disarmament, but it
has not disarmed. A nation without its own
dye and chemical resources is helpless ag-
glomeration of humanity in case of trouble.
Blockades can render it helpless, for it takes
time to create such industries after an emer-
gency comes
Unless we want the rejuvenated German
firms to walk calmly in and take over the busi-
ness they had prior to 1914, the business that
Americans have now taken over, there must be
a very high tariff or an embargo 1t doesn't
matter greatly which, but one or the other is
necessary.
The Germans want that business back. They
are prepared to, as of old, cut rates and cut
them again to get it.. Do we want to drift back
into the same helpless shape we were in 1914

Why Teferis Hesitates.

Some criticism of Congressman Jefferis is
being indulged because he does not show as
great enthusiasm for the better babies" bill as
might suit some of its ardent advocates In
situations made would give the impression that
Mr.. Jefferis is not in favor of improving condi-
tions Of maternity and the chances for the baby
to live. Anyone who knows "Big Jeff" knows
how absurd is such an innuendo. If he has
hesitated in his consideration Of the Towner-
Shepard bill, it is for the same reason that Miss
Alice Robertson of Oklahoma and some other
able members of congress have debated with
themselves and in public concerning the merits
of the measure.
None of these questions the purpose Of the
bill. 1t aims to accomplish a very desirable
thing. To give instruction to prospective moth
ers, to secure better care for them and for their
infants, is worthy Of the best attention. What
gives rise to any opposition of weight that may
be noted is the methods. Congressman and
senators are conscientiously reluctant to place
on the general government any greater share
of the burden that properly shall be borne by
the states.
Just now great cry is going up all over the
land. protesting against the expense of keeping
up the government. Economy is demanded on
the one side, and yet a continually increasing
expense is demanded by the advocates of this,
that, or another bill that calls for the expendi-
ture of federal cash for objects that in all rea-
son should be paid for by the state.
Not alone is the Capitalization of power at
Washington regarded as danger by some very
able thinkers, but the centraization of expense
it carries with it is even greater cause for ap-
prehension Such bills as the one under con-
sideraton carry authority as we'll as appropria-
tons, and each of them takes the government
just that much farther away from the people of
the states and lodges it under bureaucracy at
Washington. That is why Mr.. Jeffers and
those with him hesitate.

Extending the Muny Ice Plant.

Citizens will not protest the announced in
tention of the Metropolitan Utilities District
board to extend the municipal ice plant by pro-
viding storage for 10000 tons additional. That
will make the institution just that much more
of service to the citizens. Moreover, it is in
line with q suggestion made by The Bee two
years ago, that the plant be organized so as to
make it of greater benefit to the public.
Greater capacity for storage is step in the
right direction; the plant will turn out 200 tons
OF ice day. but this has scarcely served to
meet demands during the present season Al
ready the plant has storage capacity OF 9Oo0
tons, and when the new house is filled the dis
sriet can 60 into the summer of 1922 with re-
serve Of 5000 tons. or sufficient to give that

Make the Air Race Meet a Success.

Members of the Omaha Aero club have
achieved great thing for their first time out.
In landing the Pulitzer Trophy airplane race,
they secured one of the greatest OF modern at
fractions Flyers from foreign lands as well as
from America are coming here to take part in
the contest, which is international in its scope
The small group Of young men who have
worked this matter up to its present stage need
assistance from the business men of the city
to make it the success it should be. Already
their efforts have brought publicity for Omaha
to the tune Of many columns OF space in
metropolitan papers If the affair "flivvers"
now Omaha will get many additional columns
OF publicity, but it will not be Of pleasant Sort
Conditions here are ripe for the greatest
gathering Of airinen ever assembled in the west.
Out Of this may come what will; some Of those
who are we'll posted think the results will be
OF immense advantage to the city. However
that may eventuate, the present shows the pro-
moters have been working to put Omaha on
the map again, and are in fair way to get all
they have started for, if only given little sup
port from the bigger interests of the CITY,
The boys" are doing lot and asking for
very little. The rest is up to Omaha's truly en-

Rail Rates and Traffic.
Some Figures That Demand a
Little Consideration for the Auto.
(From the New York Times.)

The United States bureau of public roads
states that 4952 100000 persons were carried by
motor cars in 1920, as compared with only
1894 222,Ss9 paying passengers on the railways
Here, it will be said, is the explanation of the
travel, and demonstration OF the need OF cut
ting rates in order to stimulate movement OF
travellers But in fact, the number OF passen-
gers carried by railways in 1870 was the
greatest total on record. Passenger train miles
also were maximum at 46,724S80,000. There
is no proof in the record that either competition
or higher fares checked railway travel. During
the war, when millions of soldiers, presumptve
travellers, were "over there" there was slight
decrease. but this was corrected promptly on
their return.
1t is also stated by the public roads bureau
that ,2OO,OO0O0O tons of freight were carried on
motor trucks. This is less than half the total
tonnage carried on the railways. The COM
parison shows how much less important to rail-
ways is passenger travel than freight traffic.
But does not the loss of more than billion
tons of freight show that the railways are sue
cumbing to motor competition? Appealing to
the facts, it appears that the total ton miles on
the railways, including paying and nonpaying
freight, was also maximum in 1870, and the
increase of freight tonnage was greater than
the increase in passenger travel. There is a
hauls, and that the railways had to carry their
tonnage longer distances. But that is a help to
the railways, for they lose money on their short
hauls and make their profits on long hauls.
There is no freight commutation to distribute
over the entire road the expenses of costly city
terminals, and the latter are an unsettled prob
lem for the railway short haus.
The trouble with the railways is not lack of
business, but lack of profits Much of the traf-
hc on all roads, and some of the traffic on many
roads, is done under conditions like those in the
old wars of rates, when it is said that some
roads quoted a cut-thrat rate, and routed over
competitors to save losses in doing the busi-
ness There is now demand that the railways
shall reduce their rates in order to increase the
movement of traffic. Such cases should be left
for correction by the initiative of the railways
and the regulation Of the Interstate Commerce
commission. 1t IS hard to believe that rates are
checking railway traffic when it is at maxi
mum total. The present movement of farm
products is astonishing. 1t shows that products
move when the holders are satisfied with prices.
There is bitter complaint of rates on fruits and
vegetables, and there are some grounds for it.
But the movement is $685. carloads up to
July 2, against 3l5,5o7 last year. California
and Florida lead the chorus of complainants
that the railways are profting by the rates on
their products. But the record is that this year
48,732 carloads were shipped, against 40,70O last
year.
