Cards Down, Face Up.

A very graceful acknowledgment OF a real
victory for American dipomacy-or the lack OF
il, as some may insiSt-marked the close OF the
imperial conference just ended at London. The
assembled premiers explain that the insistence
of preliminary conversation prior to the Wash
ington conference, grew out of their msappre-
hension of some part of President Hafdings
invitation. 1t was not their intention to take
any action that might bind the conference; the
idea was to clear away some misunderstanding
with regard to the Pacific problems, and to plan,
if possible, broader and more substantial con-
vention to take the place of the Anglo-J Japanese
alliance, one in which the United States would
be contracting party. Delegates attending such
a preliminary conference would have been vol
unteers. All this, however, will be set aside
and will have no effect on the gathering that
probably will be held in November.
Thus delicately do the leaders of the British
empire pay tribute to our Shirt sleeve" way
OF doing things President Harding announced
himself in favor of free and frank conference,
where all should meet for the purpose of consid-
erng the business in hand hampered by no pre-
liminary arrangements or secret agreements OF
any kinds. 1t was the unsupported arrangement

do entail the sacrifice of secret ambitions or pri-
vate aspirations. The time IS here to lay the

Smash Cost of Government

The cost of pretty nearly everything in this
country is coming down faster and farther than
the cost of government but the cost of govern
ment should come down faster and farther than
pretty nearly anything else. This is true Of local
and state governments which had no direct war
burdens ST magaitEe IS wei wei IS Of national
government with its prodgious war debt charges.
The cost of government should come down
with rush, because of the numbers of en-
p1oyes which went on all public pay rolls but
are no longer needed there and should not be
kept there beyond the next pay day: because the
wages of day laborers have come down SHARPLY
everywhere and. even after superfuous employees
are cut off entirely, day laborers are employed
in armies by the municipal, county, state and
national governments; because of the heavy
drop in prices in materials and supplies, incud-
ing food, clothing, and all commodities con-
sumed in stupendous quantities by government
agencies all over the country.
Any government manager, national state or
local, anywhere in the country and under what
ever circumstances. who cannot and does not
get down his government operating expenses,
and get them down heavily, without being driven
to it by budget commissions, investigating COM
mittees and legislative appropriating bodies,
needs the skylight treatment without explana-
stion or mercy

Barriers to Prosperity.

Nebraska is the banner agricultural state this
year. Its wheat, corn, hay and other crops are
abundant. People out here don't think about
that; they consider that good crops are the nat
ural and almost inevitable result OF industry and
skill and that if Nebraska's harvest is promising
it is no more so than that OF farm areas beyond
Our borders, probably not so good as in some
favored localities.
One of the products of which Nebraska has
a surplus is hay. In many dairy states to the
east pastures are burnt up by heat and drouth
and meadows have failed. There is a shortage
of hay there and cows and calves are being
slaughtered as the easiest way out OF the diff
Guilty There will result also shortage OF milk
unless the situation is met. In Illinois, Ohio,
Indiana and even Massachusetts, dairy farmers
face catastrophe Eastern Iowa also is suffering.
1t is an old saying that one part of this great
nation was built to save the other. And so it
might seem, with bountiful hay crop in Ne
braska, that the surplus here would find ready
market there. Yet much of last years hay crop
has spoiled on the farms, and unless certain
conditions are altered, much will go to waste
again this year. A member of the Omaha hay
exchange tells of farmer with 1000 acres of
fine prairie grass, who intends to burn it off
instead of cutting it. He has figured that the
cost Of cutting and getting it to market would
amount to $l.A ton more than he would re-
ceive Between the farmers to the east, who
need hay, and the Nebraska farmers, who have
hay in abundance, stands freight rate so high
as to make relief impossible. 1t is less unproht-
able for some farmers to destroy their hay than
to market it, and it is less Improbable for other
farmers to kill their stock than to pay the pres
ent rates on feed
This is only one crop out of many which
Nebraska stands ready to share with the nation.
Yet the distribution of every one is hampered by
high transportation charges. Nebraska cannot
consume all that it raises. 1t must ship vast
quantities to other regions, and instead of as
ssting this movement the railroads are hamper
ing it. The Interstate Commerce commission is
soon to consider the plea of the Nebraska State
Railway commission for lower rates on farm
products. This plea must be made demand.
Every ounce of pressure must be brought to
bear to obtain relief not only for the sake of
Nebraska, but for that OF the whole OF America.

Generators in Service 26 Years.

1t is almost 26 years since the famous 5,OO0-
horsepower electric generators were installed at
Niagara Falls Engineers and laymen who think
back can remember the countrywide controversy
over this first large installation at the falls.
Many were the dire predictions made regarding
this apparatus because it differed so radically
from machines then in use. Electrical engineers,
many of whom stood in the first ranks of the
technical men of that period, found fault with
the design.
Yet this apparatus has withstood years of
criticism and of intense activity. This machin-
cry has generated literally millions OF horse
power since it was installed in 1895. At that
time these horsepower generators were the
most powerful in the world. As they were so
vast, according to the reckoning of that day,
engineers concluded that they would not be et-
fcient Now generators are made with eapaci-
ties as high as 0000-horsepower, giant this
size having been installed recently in the Colfax
power station of the Duquesne Light company
of Pittsburgh.
1t is interesting to note that B. G. Lamme,
who designed the generators for installation at
Niagara Falls, also was instrumental in the Col
fax pparatus.-Westngho Electric & Manu-
featuring Company Bulletin.

Out OF the Primitive.

Unless some act of violence such as has been
ascribed to the Ku Klux Klan in other states IS
committed under the disguise OF the white
shrouded membership, honest folk can afford to
smile at the initiation recently held at Lincoln
Mystery, strange oaths OF allegiance to an IN
visible Empire flaming cross Of glass; ap-
parently built on the principle OF an electric
light. a white headpiece showing only the eyes,
and a flowing robe of muslin, cut not on the
skinny style of the present day, but tull length,
such as was the modest fashion of the oos-ali
these appeal to the primitive instincts OF man.
Boys who play pirate and bandit, hosting the
SKULL and cross-bones over make-believe ship
or digging a cave in the security OF some weed
covered lot are answering to the same call out
OF the past.
As far as the purported objects OF the klan
are concerned, SO long as it refrains from vio-
fence il has as much right to exist as any neigh
borhood Improvement association or fraternal
orranization. If the members desire to deck
themselves out in uniform such as is COM
moniy ascribed to the midnight spirits OF
graveyard, there is no great harm done, although
the connection between this masquerade and
morality and Americanism remains one OF the
secrets of the order At all events, the order
represents nothing more than the logical exten-
sion Of the popular sport Of worrying about the
conduct of others without feeling any particular
responsibility for the conduct OF oneself.

Portrait of a Consumer.

For him crops are raised, goods are manu-
factured stores established, railroads built,
mines dug, novels and plays written and inven-
tions and discoveries made. Without him wages
and profits would cease, industry would close
down and both capital and labor would silence
their dissension and disappear.
Viewed from one side he is king. but from
the other he appears slave. 1t is he who pays
and all the dividends on bonds. He pays the
rent on yonder great store, supplies the means
with which the plate glass and marble fittings
are obtained and even foots the bill for the ink
with which the bookkeeper addresses his bill.
Jones may pay the freight, but the coin in
which he pays is from the well-worn purse of

Falls City, Neb., Aug. Ito the
| Editor of The Bee: ] would like the
privilege of answering the letter Of
Preston Duvall in regard to rail-
| road passes, printed in your issue or
July 20.
In his letter Mr. Duvall stated
that thousands of people are trav-
cling all over this country on free
passes Just for fun and to kill time"
and he also stated that many en-
ployes take the passes issued to
them and sell them for one-half the
regular fare, thereby causing the
railroads to lose thousands of dol
lars a year. Other statements were
made in his letter that were equally
as fallacious, but they refute them
selves.
In the first place, wish to state
that my husband Is 4 railroad man
and as such, gets one foreign pass
for himself and me once year il
he desires it. But the fact that he
is allowed no vacation and for every
day that he takes off his wages
are cut in proportion, prohibits many
vacations, especially since the re-
cent cut in wages. BY foreign pass"
Ia meant pass over another divi-
sion or railroad other than the one
on which he works. and this o"e
foreign pass year is limited. I'm
less an employe has worked GA a
division for five years or more he
may get transportation over his own
division only. II he has worked for
the division for five years he gets
transportation over a foreign road
but not to exceed 1000 miles. If
he has given the road 10 years of
faithful service he may get a pass
for more than 1000 miles. 1t

and patience to get pass, and

About a Grand Jury.

Omaha, Aug. 6.-To the Editor OF
The Bee: In considering the ques-
ton of calling a grand jury to In
| vestigate criminal responsibility in
| the failures of numerous business
concerns In Omaha, those who have
the authority to call such inquests
should, carefully deliberate the mat
| ter before taking the step. AL
though it may involve the county
| in much expense and add to our
overburdensome taxes and our over
crowded court dockets, yet II after
| due deliberation 1t is deemed best,
the grand jury should be called.
In calling a grand jury at this
time, and for the reasons generally
given, it might be we'll to bear in
mind some essential things:
!. The purpose generally Of call
| ing grand juries In this state and
elsewhere where prosecutions by in
| formation by the county attorney
are ordinarily adopted.
?. The nature of the matters and
things which the grand jury is to
| investigate.
3. That when convened they
should cover the whole field of prob
dpIc SIillS, ttIIu HUI q poit cl ~ 1hu
! that when the grand jury is in ses-
sion all preliminaries in prosecu-
tions must come before 1t.
4. How long will the grand jury
be in session If 1t thoroughly inves-
tigates the numerous business insti-
! tutions in addition to all other mat
ters Of crime which then must come
before it.
ne u
jury is to investigate probable crime

wholesale batch of indictments are
| returned when they reach the petit
Juries?
Z. What will be the capacity Of
the average grand jury which is
chosen by lot to understand the
complex conditions and ramifica-
tions which will be found in records
and other evidence in institutions
which fail through manipulations Of
experts?
8. Is not the usual method by
prosecuting officers adequate?
9. Has there been in the past in
Douglas county, or in the United
States courts or attorney generals
Office any evidence Of unwillingness
on the part of county attorneys. dis
trict attorneys and attorneys general
to do their duty? Furthermore. this
is not case where such officers
| would hesitate to do their duty be-
| cause of fear or favor.
10. 1t cannot be claimed that a
grand jury is essential because of
its ability by process of subpoena to
force witnesses to tell the facts al
though the prosecuting officer has
not the right of subpoena, yet any
one acquainted knows that the pros
ecuting officer is always possessed
