Fallen Glory.

II is commonplace that circumstances alter
cases. but il is not always so well understood
that the form OF government suited to a CON-
munty OF one size or condition may not be
advisable for others. Picturesque, but out
lived" is the way in which the Springfield Re-
publican ehafacterizes the town meeting OF
West Springfield, Mass place that has grown
to a population Of $4,000 This verdict, coming
from newspaper noted for its sturdy American
ism. may come as shock to those who have
been taught to look upon the New England
town meetings as the purest form Of democratic
government.
West Springfield apparently is on the point
OF abandoning this system. "As business
proposition" says the Republican, 1T has been
good comedy, but in the long run it has been
expensive for so large town. This example Of
the way the old town meeting operates is not
unfair: When the meeting opens the crowd is
so big that it overAows into the hall and lot
Of time and eoquence is devoted to the question
Of whether the salaries Of the police and fire
chief shall be raised $500. At the close Of the
meeting, with the attendance about quarter Of
what it was It the beginning, the citizens vote
on $2s0000 junior high school,"
In colonial days, when communities were
small and closely knit, the town meeting worked
well. This one today is likened to vaudeville
show. Its like in Nebraska is found in the
counties clinsng to the township form Of organ
ization, although lack of public interest in this
latter appears chiefly to blame for its decay. 1t
is disturbing to find one Of the anchors Of Amer.
ican democracy thus discredted, for the thought
arises that some Of our other more or less sa-
cred political institutions likewise may be be-
coming unsuited to modern needs.

The Voice Of Reason.

"For the love OF Mike be reasonable" can
be made highly useful plea. President Harding
has made interesting use of this attitude in his
conference with the heads OF the steel industry
They 70 away after dinner at the White House
voicing their acquiescence in the presidents sug-
eestion for the adjustment Of the twelve-hour
work day.
Secretary Hoover appears to have had sue
cess also in his conference with the coal opera
tors. Those whose mines are still running despite
tie strike have toed the mark and promised not
to take advantage of the situation and gouge the
public. 1t is true that Mr.. Hoover promised
them that by contrary policy they would let
the whole industry in for strict government regu-
lation Of prices and wages in the fuel industry.
President Harding also has taken hand in
the railroad rate question by inviting the trans
portation magnates to sit down with him and
talk things over. Senator McCumber recently
addressed some words to the manufactures Of
America advising them not to take advantage of
the public through the tariff.
These requests are gentle enough in appear
ance, but back of them is the power Of the re-
public. It will be fortunate indeed if those in
terests who have been tempted to Aout the in
terests Of the people can be so gently led to the
straight and narrow path and so saved from self
destruction.

Safeguard the School Taxes.

Only one Of the twelve members Of Omahas
school board was willing at recent meeting
to favor the appointment Of purchasing agent.
The others preferred to have the business adj
ministration Of the schools continue in the
hands OF committees of the board. with en-
ployed clerical assistance. Yet the payroll Of
the schools totals $3,20s,000; the fuel bill is
$l7s,0O0; there are unoccupied school sites
valued at $l46,0O0 bonded indebtedness Of
$6l6s,000, and property worth millions Of dol
lsre to be looked after.
Would any school board member trust q
private business Of this magnitude to voluntary
unpaid committees devoting part time to the
task?
This is not the first school board to reject
the proposal for systematized business man
agement of school affairs. Yet the proposition
continues to find favor. Some day the public
will force this board or its successor to apply
sound common sense to school management.
There will be not merely purchasing agent
but business executive.

Comrades.

Friendship is wonderful thing. The spirit
of loyalty shown by the Omaha police officers
who pressed purse containing $500 into the
hand Of sick comeade on his way to Arizona
frightened the world not only for him, but for
all who contributed or even read the story.
1t is wonderful thing to have friends. Yet
most Of US have more than we think. Those
who are faithful to their duty, obedient to their
promises and ordinarily human in their every
day relationships are sure to find comrades in
their hour Of need.
Conan Doyle declares that it is difficult to
keep out Of heaven That he can not prove. but
this is within the scope Of easy observation-that
it is difficult not to make friends.

Giving Back Their Names.

Loss of individuality is to certain extent
inevitable in machine-made world. Numbers
supplant names in such way that many Of those
who serve the public come to represent little more
than characterless abstraction.
In one of Omahas cafes, however instead
of indicating each waitress by figure. the bill
contains her name. 1t is not Of any great i'm
portance that the diner should know whether
Louise or Hazel is serving him, but for all that
there is pleasing human touch.
The Fifth Avenue Coach company has re-
sorted to the same method in larger way on
its New York bus system. Each employe now
displays his name on his coat, instead Of a num-
ber. One feels that this restoration of PERSONAL
ity will have desirable effect. The employe no
longer is anonymous but Is so identified as to
call forth his self-respect and his best efforts.

Of the other clubs Of business men meet, one OF

Candidates and Conditions.

A noticeable contrast exists in the Nebraska
political field. Our democratic brsihern are
racing up and down the state. telling the world
about what . wslkover they expect to have a,
the polls in the isli. bu, reason enough Is
found TO think they do not believe il them
selves, The controlling combination Of the party
has eombed the state in search Of handpieked
candidates. and Is not yet even certain OF more
than one. II is well known who will make the
race Tor United States senator; all the rest is
in doubt. True. a candidate Tor governor was
tfo,,ed out. after several eminent democrats
had declined the debaiable honor. but he Is no,
drawing the support expected. For the other
Offices. the quest 10 turtive and s,ealthy so lar
Is the democrats are concerned.
On the republican side. things are different,
Three notably able and eompe,en, men have
presented themselves as candidates for gov.
ernor: three other good men seek to be nomi.
rsted as senator: at ieas, three are asking to
be given . place on the ticket as candidates for
attorney general, and so on. II the grand old
party were so thoroughly disorsani.ed. in the
dumps and discouraged. Is il likely these men
would be seeking the honor OF leading q hopeless
hgh,' Not that you could notice.
This Is a fair test OF the relative positions Of
the two parties in Nebraska today, The repub.
licans are alert. earnest, up and coming: the
democrats are sumshoeng around, hunting for
candidates, and hoping agains, hope that maybe
they will get something on, OF il, Chiefly they
want to save the United States sena,orship,
but they are willing to take anything. Any
body can note the difference.

Genoa and the Hereafter.

In breaking up the Genoa conference. TO be
followed by the consultation at The Hague.
Lloyd George delivered a most optimistic speech.
I'VE are now at the end OF the most remarkable
eoniereace ever held in the history OF the world. "
he said The Genoa conference will forever be
an inspiring landmark in the pathway OF peace" !"
II would be gratifying in the extreme II il
were possible to share in the confidence ex-
hibited by the British premier, but certain hap
penings at Genoa must govern conclusions. and
these do not readily lend themselves as support
10 the thought that Europe is being extrcated
from its mudde. Aside from the fact that the
Russian situation was presented in its true light,
and the levity OF the soviet government made
plain. not great deal was done towards remedy
ing economic conditions. The political situation
was cleared somewhat. the resolute attitude Of
France doing away with schemes for the modi-
fcation Of the Treaty Of Versailles and the talk
Of readjustmcnt Of reparations. Settlement OF
war claims and similar matters will proceed along
lines already established.
Most satisfactory Of all the agreements is the
pact that amounts to an eight months truce.
Ealing for nonaggresson by all during the time.
Faithfully observed this will lead to better re-
htions, for it will aid in tranquilizing the con-
tinent and should be the opening way to an ef-
fective settlement OF many little disputes that
now irritate and threaten peace. cooling of
period will be OF great service to Europe.
Hope expressed at Genoa that the United
States may yet be induced to come to The
Hague has no substantial foundation. Every
exchange Of notes has made clearer the position.
of this country. Lloyd George for one recog-
nizes this, and he warns the Russians they must
modify their program and meet other nations
on different footing than that heretofore as
sumed. or they need expect no assistance. The
Russian acceptance Of the adjournment to The
Hague does not constitute full submission to
terms prescribed by the resolution of Cannes, or
the views Of the United States. Afurther con-
sultation at Moscow may lead to better UNDER
standing.
In the meantime, it is interesting to quote
from the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, democratic
newspaper, an earnest supporter of Woodrow
Wilson, the following commentator for Presi-
dent Harding. Closing an editorial analysis OF
the proceedings at Genoa, the Plain-D Dealer says:
The whole sorry performance is hne

Watching the Weather.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
Weather watching is an inexpensive pastime.
And 1t is a diversion OF infinite variety To speak
banaly Of the weather Is an empty foolshness.
To say it's . hne day or dreadful day is to
abuse the gift Of speech
One aays after a day or two of coolness that
ITS late spring." Another sagely comments,
when the weather is warm. that "spring is early
this year." Both may be right, but both are
probably wrong Their comment is not the re.
suit Of intelligent observation. Only by careful
watch OF the days can one tell the true meaning
Of the weather.
A very cold winter is said to mean very
hot summer. There is nothing in It. A hot
summer is not particular 1t may follow a cold
winter or q mild one. And vice versa as to the
kind of winter that follows a certain kind Of
summer
The utter uncertainty and wllfulness Of the
weather is what makes diversion for the weather
fancier." He keeps his notes. and knows II he
refrains from snorting at the remarks of the
superficial 1t is only because he is an exception
ally patient gentleman.
The present spring has been just about nor
NAL 1t has been neither very late nor very
early And the coming summer may be hot or
cool. No one on earth can make reliable pre-.
diction.

American Men Gallant.

From the San Francsco Chruuce
Paris women wear their clothes better than
any other women in the world
American women are more beautiful and
dress more extensively, but women in the
world possess the chic which characterizes the
French woman Of fashion.
English men wear their clothes with more
class than the men Of other countries.
American men do not wear their clothes 30
that their dress seems a part of them, do
the English
Italy furnishes the most romantic men. All
an Italian needs to make love is moonlight and
music.
English men are the most courteous.
American men the most gallant No
where on earth does the man live who Is 80
thoughtful. so wonderful and so generous to
women folk az right here in the United States.
French men have the potest language and
the worst manners Of any foreigner.
These are the impressions gained by San
Francisco woman during world tour, in which
she visited virtually every country and OBJ.
served the manners and customs Of the people.
It's dinicult to speculate on just what Amer
lean women will think Of the indictment against
them, but its safe bet that the American men
will be willing to abide by the classification in
which they are placed.
