Nebraska Solons After the Packers.

1t is peculiarly appropriate that measure
for the regulation OF the meat packing indus
try, lust agreed upon by the senate committee
on agriculture, should bear the names of two
Nebraskans as its authors. We have not a
copy OF the Norris Mclaughlin measure at
hand, and but slight information as to its con-
tents, but it may be admitted that these men
are familiar with the problem in its details.
Coming as they do from one OF the great meat
producing states OF the union, wherein is 10
ratsd one of the three really great packing
terters of the world, they should be possessed
of first. hand knowledge as to what is needed.
Regulation of great industry is not SIM
pie matter, to be accomplished off hand, and
recent experience has shown the meat packing
business to be one OF the most widely diver
sifed OF any Its extensive rami6eatons were
in part disclosed by the inquiry and report OF
the Federal Trade commission, and some head
WY has been made in putting into effect the
recommendations then made. The packers
have largely been divorced from the wholesale
grocery business, and expected to retire
frenf the stockyards under the Palmer COM
promise agreement This restricts them to the
preparation and distribution OF flesh foods ex,
elusvely. What generally has been sought is
to break up the monopoiste control of the
industry.
Nebraskans who are looking ahead to the
restoration OF the live stock industry through
government direction of the packing houses
may we'll consider that elsewhere in the world
are springing up great herds and Aocks, where
the latest and best methods of production are
being employed and the highest breeds of stock
are encouraged. When f, Z, Russell came
back from his visit to South America, he
brought reports of great herds OF improved
cattle in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay; Of
Hogs that come from, the accepted strains OF
Iowa and Nebraska breeders, and Of forward
looking set of men backing the industry, to the
end that they already are recognized as for
midable competitors in the meat trade. Armour
long ago went to Argentina; in Uruguay and
Brazil American capital and genius are back
OF the meat packing enterprise.
These factors are Of concern in Nebraska
whose principal products must come into COM
petition with those OF South America, for it
will be in the world market we will SELL If we
sell at all, the surplus OF the states farms.
These considerations give additional interest to
the Norris Mclaughlin bill, and suggest its
provisions as being OF nattre designed to help
the farmers of the west in their efforts to pro-
duce at profit, to hold the home market. and
in the end to enjoy fairer share of the gain
that flows from their efforts

Night Life and Home Life.

Once a New York man, endeavoring to IT,
ustrate the difference between his home city
and Chicago, deprecatingly referred to the lat
ter as place where more men are in bed by
10 o'clock at night than are out" Then it was
that New York boasted of its might life" and
other communities throughout the land were
initiating the metropolis, A change has been
wrought in that, however, one Of &he direct and
noteworthy effects Of prohibition. 4 writer in
the New York Times gives the results Of an
intensive study Of American city habits. and he
finds that so-caed might life is not only on
the wane, but actually is disappearing, Men
and women are winding up their evenings OF
pleasure and advertisement at seasonabc hours,
and seeking fepose earlier than ever.
Another thing that may be noted: Three
years ago very popular ditty inquired, What
are you going to do to wet your whistle, when
the whole darned world goes dry" The an
swer to this is that the whistle is going on
without being wet. Last season, and the sea-

much. faster than is generally realised,

In a World of Hysteria.

Governor Mckelve's words on the need for
respect for law quite properly were linked up
with reference to the folly of attempting to
lay down laws for Providence. Unless laws are
wisely made it will be impossible to command
public respect for them,
Although Gilbert K. Chesterton is no great
hyorite heresbouts, many will agree with his
statement that Never perhaps has an average
human being had so little control oyer his own
life, oyer the house he lives in, over the things
he eats and drinks, over the changes in his land
seape or the traditions handed on to his children
Freak legislation, such as that recently pro-
posed in the Missouri legislature to make auto
mobile thefts punishable by the death penalty,
undoubtedly tends to bring the statutes into dis
fepute. But measures such as this affect only a
few people. Restrictive legislation that bears on
peaceful citizens Is more harmful. There has
been sort Of hysteria in the air ever since the
world war began. II IS as if liberty were to be
buried through the fear OF moral, political, eco
nomc and social chaos. The governor of Ne,
braska, it is good to see, has kept cool through
it all and if the rest OF our statesmen will only
calm down and sit tight the world will go on

Harding and the Supreme Council.

In deciding to have an unofficial representa-
tive present at concaves OF the supreme coun-
Gil, which is now the governing body OF
Europe, President Harding merely indicates a
reasonable desire to have always full and re-
liable information as to what goes on behind
the scenes, The invitation from the Allies
shows them to be where they have been all
along, anxious to have our government share in
Europc's vcxations The arrangement is con-
venient, and, while it does not bind the United
States to anything, it affords the best possible
proof that England, France and Italy are trying
to be fair and at the same time to sacrifice no!
advantage either may have gained through the
war and by reason of subsequent events.
Vivianis expressed hope that the United
States would find it possible to come into a
modified League OF Nations is not considered
in this connection. That pact may be revised
until 1t meets the views OF President Harding
as to the form of association he feels we can
safely enter. Whether it will, or whether the
proposal will come from Washington, isayet to
be determined With Ambassadors Harvey
and Wallace and Mr.. Henry Boyden present as
unofficial observers" for the United States,

that he kept close watch OH the dealings with
problems growing OUT Of the war. President
Harding prudentIy adopts similar ways for the

Stranglcd by Freight Rates.

One might suspect that eating onions had
been placed under strict taboo after reading
that the owners OF 5000 sacks OF this fragrant
product were to dump them into river in

clarsd to lie rottng in the fields of Texas. The

Cotton has been plowed under in many south

Omaha is not vainglorious of this distinction;

OF the country marked in the same way But
the fact that this great section is resuning its
