"Msrse Henry" Watterson.

One Of the last OF a group OF editors whose
personal influence was potent in shaping Amer
lean history was Henry Watterson, just dead.
His active life covered wonderful period Of our
national experience, from the days OF the SOS
well up into the new century, and he could with
truth say, ss he surveyed the progress OF the
people, "All OF which saw, and part OF which
was" He was leader, not only in the coun-
ellis Of the democratic party, but in the broader
field Of national thought
As partisan he was intensely earnest, as a
contributor to the social and cultural life OF the
land he was a genial mentor. his catholic taste
and unlimited experience qualifying him as critic,
as director, and ss champion. A circle Of friends
as wide as his extensive acquaintance rejoiced in
intimate communication with him, while his op-
ponents-it probably is true he had no enemies
always reckoned with him in any encounter.
Hi. greatest effect was on the SOUTH where he
courageously opposed the reactionaries, although
he always energetcally espoused the cause OF
progress for the country and for his party in
particular His connection with the Horace
Greeley campaign of 1872, the Tilden campaign
in 1876 with Cleveland in 1884, and against
Bryan in 1896, possibly will be more readily re-
called by the people in connection with the an
nouncement of this great editors death, but his
warning to the men of the south that they must
forget the bitter issues OF the war and get into
step with the nation was more important
political service than anything he ever did in
campaign. That other Henry OF the South,
Grady OF the Atlanta Constitution, carried on an
energetic but losing campaign against Waiter
son on this ISSUE but the cause championed by
the latter could not be denied.
When "Marse Henry retired from active con-
nection with the Courier Journal, three years
ago, the occasion was marked by a great col
lection OF messages Of appreciation from noted
men Of all professions. This was source of
comfort to the genial veteran who had so long
adorned noble calling, and whose white plume
had never been stained. His chair. vacated then,
is yet vacant, just as no could take the place
of Horace Greeley, of Samuel Bowles or OF
other great editors who made American journal
ism calling that might well enlist the energy
and ability of the best. A peace well won and
fame that will endure were Henry Watterson's
when he entered into rest.

Higher Prices for Farm Products.

Farmers and those with whom they trade
know it already, but the statement of Secretary
OF Agriculture Wallace that the purchasing
power of the principal crops is less than ever
before may come as shock to others. High
freight rates, big crops produced at heavy cost
unemployment in the cities with its lessened
buying power and lack Of satisfactory markets
abroad he lists among the causes of the agricul-
tural depression.
It is with this condition that the War Finance
corporation is contending. Nearly 100000 in
agricultural loans have been arranged for Ne
braska and funds are now pouring into the state
at the rate of ST 100000 week. This money is
designed to stabilize the prices of farm products
on level equal to the cost of production. In
stead of farmers having to sell their calves or
cows or other live stock at sacrifice in order to
get ready money to meet note or pay running
expenses, they can get All advance from the War
Finance corporation and hold their stock until it
is mature for market. The same arrangement
is made for lending money on grain, which may
be held until a more favorable market and need
not be thrown on sale when there is only slack
demand at ruinously low price.
No city consumer need feel uneasy over the
result Of higher prices being paid to the farmers
The farmer only gets about third of what the
consumer pays for his products. An increase in
that third ought not to make much OF showing
in the price of tho peoples food. 1t would, how
ever, mean the difference between solvency and
bankruptcy to many farmers. What Nebraska
needs worse than anything else right now is
higher prices for farm products. If the War
Finance corporation will bring this about it will
have restored prosperity, not only to the farm,
but to the cities, east and west, as we'll.

Attorney General Daugherty's Latest.

Rejecting on the paucity of results achieved
by the various probes, inquiries, surveys inquisi-
tons, and the like. set in motion by A. Mitchell
Palmer, who at one time or another had the en-
tire business world under suspicion, The Bee is
inclined to doubt the advisablty of the order for
a sweeping inquiry into retail prices on fuel and
food just ordered by Attorney General Dauah-
erty.
1t is undoubtedly true that all prices are not
back to proper level; that peaks do exist, and
that in some cases unwarranted profits are being
taken. 1t is also true that these inequalities are
disappearing, that food prices are touching lower
levels daily, and that fuel and other necessities
are responding. Aside from the extraordinary
situation incident to freight rates. and the con-
tinuing higher cost of other operations that at
taeh to doing business, little progress has been
made in determining reasons for the failure of re-
tail prices to promptly follow wholesale and
manufacturing schedules on the downward path
As the general trend of retail prices is down.
ward, each day noting some change, and as sta
biity of prices is most desirable as tending to aid
in the restoration of business activity, we are at

low general probe on part OF the government
Such prohteering as has survived the previous
inquisitions is not likely to be seriously dis
turbed by any investigation that may now be set
afoot, while legitimate effort to get back to a
correct method of doing business may be re-
tarded. 1t is not case of let we'll enough alone,
but of using good Judgment in meeting 4 serious
situation.

While Then Mediate
(From the Philadelphia Ledger)
Some Facts Democrats in
Senate Should Consider.

While some OF the "Wilson democrats" and
others OF the senate minority are medtating the
ousting Of Senator Underwood as democratic
leader in the senate they will do we'll TO mediate
this also.
II Senator Underwood is punished" for be-
ing one OF the American delegates in the arms

his own party, the democratic party, is punish
ing him because he was big enough to ignore
party lines, because he dared give his services
Tor peace because he was an American first
and party man last That will be the un-
adroned, and straightway the American public
will see II.
Helped by some democrats the republican
party rejected the league OF nations and its OPP
portunities for keeping world peace. The re-
publican party is now trying to achieve many
OF the leagues purposes by machinery differing
from the league. An unbroken peace in the
Pacific and limited navies are two OF these Are
we to find democrats who fought for similar prin-
ciples in the league more anxious to gain partisan
advantage than to support principles? Are they
more concerned about the next election than
about peace and disarmingI
On the subject of future peace and world dis
armament the American people are thinking
straightcr than they did about the league. Where
the league with its mandates, its councils and its
personnel seemed complicated, this scrapping
Of ships, this naval holiday and the four-power
treaty to keep peace in the Pacific form plain
and uncompcated program. 1t is understood
and approved by nine in every ten Americans.
Americans are thinking straight enough to
FIX the blame for failure Of any part of the con-
ference program. II Senator Underwood is sacri-
feed to party feuds and for partisan advantage,
he may rest assured that the people who lift up
political parties and cast them down will under
stand.
Democratic opposition, still in two minds
about voicng itself, will put that party in dog
in-th manager position. Motives of revenge will
be written all over its banners. Just what an
swer can it make to the unified sentiment in this
country that demands an assured peace, lessen
ing of the burdens of armament and the begin
nings of real world disarmament?

Governor Mckelvie's S Future.

One point in connection with next years
political campaign in Nebraska is settled by the
announcement of Governor McKelve that he is
not and will not be candidate for the office of
senator OF the United States from Nebraska
That such notice can be given at this time must
be taken as proof Of careful consideration on part
OF the governor. To aspire to the high Office of
United States senator is in accord with COM
mendabe ambition to serve the people; it is not
merely the desire of a politician craving power,
but has also the element of patriotic devotion to
the public good.
In determining to give his entire attention to
the serious duties Of the Office of governor, Mr.
Mckelvie shows high appreciation of the re-
sponsibilities that attend that position, particu-
larly during the reconstruction period and de-
sire to be permitted to discharge them unham-
pered by any consideration of expedency that
might arise in connection with the prosecution
OF campaign for election to another office. He
has sacrificed any political ambition he may have
had to his duty, and has shown preference for
the public service and willingness to give his
time to carrying the great work that falls to
him as governor of Nebraska.
1t now appears that much of the criticism
leveled at him from the democratic element was
unjustihed, as we'll as unjust, for it rested on the
suppostion that all the movements made by the
governor were political i'll their conception. His
official acts were not framed to further his pos
sible advancement but took form because he be-
lieved he was doing his duty. 1t is too much to
expect that he will get any more rational consid-
Grafton from the partisan opposition, but the peo-
pie will understand now better than ever the ma
ture of the criticism and will value accordingly
Several months must elapse before the voters
will select candidates at the primaries, and dur
ing that time great deal may happen. The Bee
will not undertake to name the candidate now,
but it will assure Senator Hitchcock that he will
not be allowed an election as unopposed as his
denomination promises to be.

A New Industry

Sightseers at the Conference--not observers
trying to observe the inside of things, but sight
seers who have a much pleasanter time seeing
the outside of things-have drawn picture con-
trast between Arthur Balfour Of the gentle,
sceptcal smile and Charles E. Hughes, about
whom, for all his iriendliness, there still fingers
something of the old height and austerity." 1t
is the contrast we would expect between the

There is no reason why there should not be
farmer on the Federal Reserve board, but there
probably never would be one there without spe-
cihc instruction from congress 1t is quite true
that there should be no politics in this great gov
ernmental financial institution. But to ask that
some one familiar with the regular needs and the
emergencies Of agriculture be seated at the
directors table is not a political demand. No
one who is urging this change in the federal re-
serve act cares whether republican or demo-
cratic farmer is chosen
Agriculture is one of the great industries Of
the country, and one with special needs. The
Federal Reserve system in its policy OF deAation
stands accused of hitting the farmer harder than
any other interest. No such accusation should
be possible again, and with member OF the
board thoroughly familiar with the requirements
and the importance of agriculture, the system
would seem to be better balanced.
