AssYRIANS NOT so ROUGH
Were More Humane Than Popularity
Fabled, Says Professor Who Has
Studied Their Laws.

The Assyrian is popularity recalIed
as coming down like a wolf oa the
fold" But one provision Of the As
syrian code of laws indicates that the
Assyrians are more humane than they
are popularity tabled. This requires
that the destitute widow be supported
by her sons "as the bride whom one
loves"
Instead of the Assyrians being who'll
~ abject, their letters, says Prof. A
F. Olmstead, of the University Of ILL.,
nois, show high officials speaking their
minds with the greatest plainness, the
kings making pathetic appeals to those
whose support they would win. Their
imperial free cities were as free as
those in western Europe in the Middle
ages, with charters Of freedom from,
corners of the earth and to an
tongues.

Look at the Sun; Forecast the Weather

Joseph, the long-famed weather
prophet Of the Bible, who foretold the
seven fat years and the following
seven years of famine, may one day
be shown up as a piker by modern
weather forecasters, when solar obser-
vations being conducted by the Smith
sonian institution are completed.

tary of the institution, describing the
institutions worldwide studies of the
variation of the heat of the sun. de-
clares the institution researches are
ieing closely followed by scientists all
over the world, and may make long
time representations as usual and
simple part of weather mapping.
After many years close observa-
tion and measurement of the heat ra-
diation from the sun, 1t has been
finally determined that the sun does
not throw off continuous amount of
heat: that neither does the earth re-
ceive constant amount of solar heat;
that these variations are periodic and
primarily the suns rotation; and that
variation and the earth's climate.

For Permanent immigration Limitation

Passage of permanent restrictive
immigration legislation is on the pro-
gram for next winters session Of con-
gress. Representative Johnson of
Washington, chairman of the house
committee ON immigration, believes
that the United States never will re-
turn TO the wide open door policy pre-
vailing prior to the passage of the
present temporary 3 per cent restric-
tive law.
Johnson at next winters session
expects to press bill, which he in
trOduced before the adjournment of
the house, revising the present law so
as to give all countries base quota
of 600 plus per cent of the number
of aliens from that particular country
in the United States as shown by the
census of 1910. His bill also contains
other new features, including re.
quirement that aliens coming into the
United States shall obtain certificate
of admission from an American consul.

Ak-Sar-Ben's Race Meet.

Ak-Sar-Ben's annual spring race meeting
starts today, harbinger OF the merry monarch's
season Of sport and entertainment for his sub
jects. 1t is little than that too, for it car
ries with it the added prestige the community
shares in the presence of really important
sporting event The sport Of kings horse racing
has been called, and as we'll it is the game of the
ordinary folks who make up the world. Men and
women alike enjoy horse race. 1t possesses
in high degree the element of uncertainty, to-
gether with the test Of skill and speed Of jockey
and mount and offers thrill that is obtainable
in no other way. Ak-Sar-Ben's meet is now
recognized as one OF the fixtures of the country,
and is gaining in importance as it is being more
firmly established. Horse owners are drawn
hither from all over the country, bringing the
best Of their stables, because they know of the
liberal purses and the splendid conditions for rae
ing provided. Nebraska once gained consider
able prominence as horse breeding state al
though it was the harness horse and not the
thoroughbred that got the attention. Maybe the
influence OF the Ak-Sar-Ben meet will in time re-
vive and extend the industry that has languished
for a quarter of a century or longer. At any
rate, the daily program for the next two weeks
will afford ample entertainment for those who
still love horseaesh, and there are many, even if

Three KEYS to Reconstruction.

Politics having failed to readjust the jumbled
affairs OF postwar Europe the politicians are CIV
ing way to the financiers. Today we find J. p.
Morgan listened to as an oracle as the inerna-
:ional bankers meet in Paris to arrange Ger
man loan. This is counted on to stabilize Euro
pean financial and economic conditions by har-
monzing the reparations program in accord with
the hard facts.
No doubt it will do much to advance the con-
,;nent along the road OF reconstruction. Where
the statesmen obsessed with dreams of power
and national advantage failed, these fnanciers
with their international viewpoint have much
better chance OF success Out of it is apt to
come encouragement for the proposed confer
ence OF banks of issue to consider means Of
stcmming the tide OF paper money that is drag
ging commerce on the shoals.
The failure of craftsmanship at Genoa may
be laid partly to the too ambitious attempt to
settle every world question at single clip. There
was no Alexander ready and able to cut the
Gordian knot which must, it appears, be picked
apart piece by piece. H. q. ..
A series of supplementary conferences, each
to deal with some one portion Of the problem Of
stabilization and reconstruction offers hope. The
bankers can not do it all. Just as the emergency
was found not to be solely political so is it not
entirely financial. Europe, and the whole world
with it, is in the throes of a social crisis Moth
ing has yet been done to give proper treatment
to the human factors.
Faith, trust and good will must be restored
before peace and happiness can come to the peo-
pies OF the earth. The disarmament conference
called in Washington by President Harding was
step toward the recognition Of the need of hu-
nanty for broader world spirit, but much more
remains to be done. t.r
The keys to the situation are three: Political,
economic and social. 1t surely is within the
reach Of modern man to fit them to the locks and
swing wide the gates Of peace and prosperity.

Veteran Schoolmaster Retires.

oul At Grand Island there Is tfanspiring this
month an event OF real significance. man is
retiring from the superin,endeney oi the city
schools. just as many others arc doing in cities
oil over the country. Blu, this case Is different.
The man Is X. ]. Barr and he has directed the
Grand Island schools continuously for forty
years.
Administering public school system requires
something more than mere book learning. some.
thing more than knowledge OF pedagogical the.
ories and practice. II takes diplomacy executive
ability. patience and courage. Boards OF edu-
cation popularity elected at best are a makeshiit
effort on the part OF people unframed in highly
specialized profession to direct the practice OF that
profession. There is far more than an even
chance that a school superintendent canno, con.
,inue year after year, to command the confidence
and respect OF constantly changing boards.
Mr.. Barr has done that. For virtually two
generations he has satisfied the people OF Grand
Island that he is the best man available to guide
the development, OF their more precious posses
sion, their children; that he is best qualified TO
make the citys most potential source OF wealth
pay dividends OF mature ability and character
The boys and girls who first went TO school 10
him today are the lawyers. the doctors, the busi-
ness men and the respected matrons OF Grand
Island and other towns; more recently their
children and even their grandchildren have conc
under his guidance and fel, the impress OF his
personality. In their success Mr. Barr finds the
reward that comes to all teachers, the knowledge
OF service to his fellow man that has been well
done.

As has been ioreshzdowed, the report oi the
special committee that inquired INTO the allega-
lions oi extravaganza. mismanagement and graft
in connection with the road building in Ne
braska completely okonerates the state engineer
and his department. The report is not white
wash but the unanimous concurrence OF all its
members ,ha, no foundation for the slanderous
assertions was discovered.
The committee docs carefully and with JUS
,ifea,ion criticize certain methods adopted by
the counties. Instead OF complying with the law
and keeping a separate account for each mile OF
road built, so ,ha, full and dependable record
Of costs will be available at all times. many of
the counties have made no separation OF costs
whatsoever, with the result that the accounts are
inextricably confused. An intelligent COM
parison is thus rendered impossible. Another
county practice that is condemned by the COM
mittee is that OF paying lump sums to county
officers, they to distribute the funds by personal
check in paying contractors, supply bills and the
like. This loose method Of doing business should
bc stopped.
Definite recommendations made by the COM
inittee include one that will provide for the
separation of state or federal aided work from
that done exclusively by the county, both as to
construction and maintenance. Counties should
lay out definite road construction programs. but
should also see to il that these are co-ordinated
With the general plan of highway improvement
nat the state system will be harmonious in its
details. Authority and responsibility should be
given the county engineers
OF great importance also is the reconmenda-
ton that the federal aid program be continued,
the committee finding that federal aid roads,,
built under federal specifications, are more sub
stantial and in the long run cheaper than any
other road" -.
This report explodcs one Of the principal
mines laid by the democrats to blow up the re-
publican administration in Nebraska. 1t shows
the bomb to have contained much wind and little
powder. Those who objected to the activity Of
the committee as an unnecessary expenditure Of
money ought to join in congratulating its men,
bers that they have so thoroughly cleaned up the
situation. The fact that Messrs. Epperson and
Hofmeister join in signing the report is the most
conclusive proof that the findings are based on
iacts developed by careful inquiry, and trust
worthy in all regards and this will reassure the
taxpayers who had been led into some msgiv-
ings as to the expenditure of money in the road
building campaign.
Nebraska's roads are good, and they have
been honestly constructed under a republican
governor by democratic state engineer. This
fairly divides the credit and disarms the critics.

Newspapers and Religion.

Grand Island, Neb., May 26.-To
the Editor of The Bee: l have had
it in my mind for some time to call
your attention to the manner in
which your paper, in common with
many other papers, treats religious
news. I do not feel that you give
religion and religious news sufficient
consideration as compared with the
consideration that you give to news
that is simply worldly, and especially
sporty.
I think that Christianity should
be given a larger place in your
paper than it receives. 1t is true
that you publish in the evening
paper Saturdays the church notices,
but they are not in the morning
issue and they a-e not in the Sun
day issue. I think it would be well
ii these notices were printed in the
Saturday morning issue, or in the
Sunday morning issue.
Again, 1 wish to call your atten-
ton to the fact that too little atten-
ton is given to the subject Of Chris
tianity in your Monday papers. For
example, in your issue Of May % an
entire page is given over to sport
news and elaborate accounts are
given of Sunday baseball games and
other sports, but one looks in vain
in that paper for any mention of
any of the churches in your city.
Those churches and their ministers
are making great effort to dissent
nate a knowledge of the truth as
taught in the Scriptures and to stay
the tide Of evil which is so prevalent,
and it certainly seems to me that a
paper should give some considera-
ton to the sermons that are deliver
ed and the services that are held in
these many churches instead Of de-
voting so much space simply to
worldly amusements and sports.
I am heartily in favor of baseball
and other proper amusements, but
not on Sunday.
Last Sunday the general assembly
of the Presbyterian churches in the
United States Of America was in ses-
sion in Des Moines, Ia, and more
than so of the leading ministers of
that denomination preached in the
various churches of that city. If
there were five baseball games in
that city their performances would
go out all heralded to the world
through the newspapers. However,
/ find no account whatever OF any
of these meetings, or any of the SER
mons that were delivered, in your
paper. Perhaps your excuse for Civ
ing so much space to news OF sport
is that the public demands 1t. This
is true in a measure, but / beneve
there are tens Of thousands of per-
sons who demand that Christianity
and the church be given greater
publicity than your paper is giving
to this subject.

Saving Interest Charges.

Reduction of the interest rate on farm loans
BY the Federal land bank reflects the financial
improvement. If the other agencies, privately
owned, and some OF them enjoying the privilege
of tax exemption, meet this cut, many millions
Of dollars in interest will be saved to the farmers
The rate now is sIs per cent, with the pos
sibiity that public pressure on the federal board
can lower it to S per cent. In France the farmers
through their cooperative credit banks get loans
at per cent. Such thing in unheard Of in the
United States, where the interest charge is a
heavy burden on agriculture. .-t
In Nebraska, Iowa South Dakota and Wyo-
ming farm loans are estimated at $l,0O0,00o,0 900.
A reduction of per cent in interest charges on
this sum would save $lo,oOo,ooo to the producers.
This Is = sum worth going after and the farm
