The Worst Doesn't Happen.

1t is estimated by the Department of Agricul-
tdre at Washington that an army of 100000
men is going back to the farms from the cities,
eager to aid in harvesting the nations crops At
present the supply of farm labor is rated at o55
per cent of normal. 1t is expected that in the
wheat belt Of the middle west mobile force of
$4,000 will follow the harvest from Oklahoma
north to the Dakotas and Montana.
One result of this improved labor situation
IS the encouragement it gives to farmers to
plant bumper crops. All reports indicate that
the farmers are putting in larger acreages than
were expected.
So it is demonstrated again that the worst
rarely happens. Not long ago there were loud
lamentations over the scarcity of farm labor, and
gloomy prospect of inability to produce full
crops was presented.
Unemployment in the cities. due to con-
siderable extent to oversupply Of labor, is having
the effect that it must always have 1t is turning

where their services are in demand-Albany

A Visit to Radium Land.

The illness that has befaen Madame Curie
will prevent her visiting of the principal
sources OF radium in the world. Her trip to the
Grand Canyon OF the Colorado remains uncan-
celled but viii not take her into the isolated dis
tricts where the precious carnotte ore is found.
To obtain gram OF radium, $50 tons OF
carnotite must be searched through and put
through refining process. One place in which
this mineral is found Is in narrow seams in the
rather aptly named Undark mines of the Paradox
valley of Colorado 1t has then to be trans
ported 90 miles by mule team across desert and
mountain trails, and thence by rail to Orange,
N. J. There are several other similar mines in
the southwest but the total output of all for 1917
was only 26 grams of radium. :,
Radum is the most valuable element in the
world, made 50 by its scarcity and by the diff
Guilty in isolating it after it has been found. One
gram, the product of $50 tons OF ore hauled
painfully over rough trails, costs $4,000 and in
size is about enough to fill thinble. An ounce
Of platinum, which is more precious than gold,
is worth only $50. Radium is so powerful that
when mixed with other materials even 4 minute
particle will make surfaces seh-luminous for
years 1t is this quality that makes radium
luminous material commercially possible. One
large use for radium is for the illumination Of
watch faces.
No doubt Madame Curie would have liked
to venture into the country where great por-
ton Of the supply of the element which she dis
covered is mined, but in her visit to the Grand
Canyon she will at least b. IN the neighborhood

Clearing the Way for the Camel.

Holding that the Volstead act repeas all
parts of the internal revenue law not consistent
with the later statute, the supreme court is
gradually clearing the way for the enforcement
of prohibition. Many district attorneys and cir
cult court judges have been perplexed and puz-
zled by conflicting passages in the laws and
sometimes in seeking to harmonize them have
decided in favor Of the older regulations. That
these are definitely superseded is now announced
by the higher court, and all actions commenced
for violation Of the revenue laws will probably
be abandoned in favor Of prosecution under the
Volstead act. Some offenders may profit by the
decision, in that they will be relieved from dan
ger Of punishment for ofenses charged but this
merely shifts them from the Scylla Of one to the
Charybdis of the other law. The camel is COM
ing, all right, and while his way may be little
bit jerky and seemingly uncertain, he is surely
mopping up the wet spots.

The Hired Mans Wlnnings
That there is

That there is disposition on the part o1
many men who year ago would not consider
work outside the centers of population to take
jobs as farm hands is reported by various observ-
ers. This is an encouraging development and
suggests an Improvement in farm conditions.
In the old days farm work in most parts OF
the United States was synonymous with drudg-
cry. From sun-up to dark was the working dav
for many farm hands, and only those who have
gone through spring planting or an autumn,
harvesting under the old conditions can appre-
ciate the strain such toll imposes Nowadays
tarm labor has been systematized and made
easier in many respects.
With changed conditions in the country and a
realization that much of the attraction of the
cities was artificial, men who were drawn to the
towns by war industries are turning to the farms
again. Shorter heurs and good wages have also
gained tor the farms recruits from the ranks
OF factory hands on part time and within tho
last two months many man has been grateful
for the education acquired on the farm It has
been satisfaction for him to be able to say the
mysteries Of milking or hitching double team
were an open book to him.
The man who sticks to the soil NAV never
have as large bank account as some Of those
who stay close to the paved sidewalks and
streets, but he will have the pleasure Of living in
the open and il he is the owner Of even the small
est farm, bought with the proceeds Of the labor
Of his hands, he will derive from it satisfaction
which only those who have experienced the keen

Hoover's Committee Reports.

A summing up of conditions in industry, re-
ported by the American engineering councils
committee, discoses some OF the basic causes
for stagnation. Fifty per cent of the waste in
industrial processes is laid at the door Of manage
ment, and less than rs per cent at the door of
labor, by the committee, which was appointed by
Herbert Hoover. when he was at the head of the
council. Factors of unemployment, of over
head expenses and all the items that enter into
the general problem have been considered in the
process of reaching the conclusion.
This information will doubtless come as a
shock to many employers, individually and asso-
ciated, who have felt that they had reached a
high plane in efficiency and had their manage
ment systematzed to such degree that all avoid
able waste had been eliminated. Experts SEEM
ingly do not agree with this, and are inclined to
disturb the complacency OF those employers
Locating some of the cause contributing to the
result, the committee cites huge investments in
idle machinery, the enormous cost of excessive
labor turnover, and the expense of duplication
in bids and plans in building operations and the
like.
Restriction of output is laid at the door of
capital and labor alike. Neither can evade re-
sponsibilty for this count in the charge. Under
the mistaken notion that decreased production
meant increased opportunity for employment,
workmen have let down in their efforts, while
the employers have sought to maintain selling
prices by keeping up an artificial scarcity. Both
of these are wrong, for the reason that the more
there is produced the more there is to divide,
and when nothing is brought forth there is moth
ing to share.
One other contributing cause has been the
practice of cost plus In its principle, it is
the sound way of doing business: in its latter
day application it is the most destructive agency.
that ever assailed American industry. Once the
successful man depended on his faculty for man
agement, which includes the several elements of
doing business. Now he relies on the combina-
ton that shuts off competition and controls
prices. Any man who can break into the COM
bine can succeed, no matter what sort of man
ager he is. When competitive basis is re-
established. and profit on job depends on the
ability Of the man in charge to handle men and
material, and not on the amount of money SPENT
something like prosperity win be restored to the
country.
That day can not be postponed much longer.
Owners of idle plants feel the need of operating
them; idle workmen need employment, and the
public needs the output Not much is gained
by fixing responsibility for waste unless with it
comes revival of effort supported by de-
termination to correct exposed mistakes, and to
give value received in goods and labor.

Nonpartisan Plans.

Omaha, June Ito the Editor
rof The Bee: Your editorial on the
nonparitsans is full of partisan poll
oies. as now practiced by the poll
ticians of the republican party, but
never practiced by the founders Of
that party under the lead of Abra-
ham Lincoln. Therefore, if there is
any unfairness in the common peo-
pie trying to redeem that party in
Nebraska under the lead oof Judge
Wray, who has always stood square
for that party under its original
policies, l for one cannot see any
wrong. Let US have a little clean
politics
Our governor invited representa-
tives of labor in a. conference at
Lincoln, evidently to find out what
kind of legislation they wanted SO
he could better organize his follow
ers, who were in the majority, to
legislate union labor out of business.
This was done in the -picketing
bill, which the governor signed. He
pulled over the same stunt in the
registration bill for the farmers.
Can you imagine that Lincoln would
have signed either of those bills?
Give us true republicanism under
Judge Wray, and there will be no
kick, unless from big business
To what extent is a political party
useful to the citizens of a state like
Nebraska? Only insofar as it func-
tions to the best interests of all the
people. no difference how humble.
And when it fails to perform that
duty under any leader, it is due for
a cleaning. Did it ever occur to
you that today North Dakota Is the
only state in the union that is gov-
erned by the true principles Of re-
publicaifism And that true bill
OF rights was granted that state by
the vote Of every member of the
supreme court of this nation? Every
hard working man or woman,
whether in shop or on farm, has as
many rights guaranteed to them
under the constitution as any law
yer, editor or millionaire; and we
are going to see that they get it.

"In the Moves They Do It,"

Pirate stories, and we commend them to the
tired business man as hrst-class brain duster,"
always present the picture Of an evil face, smoke
stained and lowering, just above the bulwark Of
the doomed vessel, with wicked looking knife
between the teeth. Not even pirates mouth is
big enough to get good firm grip on the pistol
= pirate is expected to carry, and that is why we
look askance at a tale that comes from Cheyenne.
It tells how deputy sheriff aided in captur-
ing two desperadoes near Bridgeport. He
stripped, stuck his pistol between his teeth and
swxn across the North Platte river to an island,
where the criminals, armed with rifles, were
standing off posse on shore. Two points here
stimulate. First we gravcly doubt if pistol
that swimmer might carry any distance in his
teeth would be of much service in frontier
melee Certainly it was not one of those full
grown, robust ASS old-timers out in that neigh
borhood were familiar with.
Again, if the deputy were Of such stature that
he was forced to swim any considerable distance
in the North Platte at Bridgeport, where the err
rant river meanders aimlessly all over maze of
sandbars and through such a multitude of chan
nels that even the smartest can not tell which is
the river and which the snye, then he couldn't

Something is wrong somewhere with that story.
We are ready to admit that the deputy crossed
the river to the island, that he did carry psfoi,
and that he did capture the fugitive Ne ems.
But we are profoundly sceptical as to -ry-
ing pistol in his teeth, or swimfni. ~ great
