Talk of cancellation of war uehts due America is given a death blow in the an nounceinent from London that the British govern* nient will accept the terms of repayment outlined by the American debt funding commission. This i an only mean that the English are con fident of their ability to collect their own loans to the continental countries. It means also that the other American debtors are put in the position where i hey will have to begin negotiations for repaying the enormous sums lent them from the treasury. At the some time the American people are relieved I com the thought that this bill for $1 1,000,000 would hav« to be footed by them. If American public opinion had weakened, or if our officials had been less firm, there would have been real dan ger of cancellation. The British loan is the largest of all, amounting to more than $4,000,000,000. Before any final agreement can lie signed for the funding and col lection of this sum, the approval of congress is ; necessary. A great deal of discussion, some prac* \ inal and some pure demagoguery, is to be expected. ( It is unfortunate that Stanley Baldwin, chancellor j of the British exchequer, on his arrival in Eng- I land from the conference in Washington, should have referred in such uncomplimentary tones to ihe influence of politics in congress. That this part ing shot has been followed so closely by British ac ceptance of the American commission’s stipulations should serve to take some of the sting out of his remarks. America does not desire to drive a hard bargain with its debtors. The proposal of Secretary of the ( Treasury Mellon and his fellow commissioners is to lie regarded from a practical and not a penny pinching standpoint. The whole plan, which would wipe out the debt in sixty two years, would average a rate approximately of 4 per cent. An interest rate of per cent was suggested for the first ten years, and 3 fa per cent thereafter. The suggestion . includes provision for stated annual payments and an amortization rate of one-half of 1 per cent, in addition to the yearly payments on the principal. The details of the plan can he entrusted to the proper authorities. If a definite arrangement can be made, by which both America and Great Britain know exactly what is expected of them, a founda tion for world stability will lie luid. As the other nations come forward and acknowledge their debts, they may conclude that they are spending too much money on armaments. One of their greatest trou- 1 tiles now is that they are living beyond their in come. When they come to the point of marching up and paying their installments, they will have put their national life on a sounder basis. APPORTIONMENT OF SCHOOL TAXES A bill introduced by Representative Hull of Clay county teinls in the direction of solution for one of the really vital problems of state school admin- j istration. It provides for the apportionment of taxes collected by the state from railroads for , school purposes; these are to be divided among the counties on the basis of school population, rather than on mileage, as at present. Such a measure will be carefully scrutinized be fore it is acted on, for it contains something that deserves the most earnest consideration. On its face, it will tie of disadvantage to such counties as Lincoln, for example, and other of the sparsely set tled counties, which are traversed from end to end by one or more main lines of railroad, and it will help some of the more densely populated counties, v hose mileage is smaller because of their area. This will have considerable influence in deciding the fate of the measure, for it will be argued that the coun- i ties Inrger in area should not be required to forego an advantage in order that those larger in popula- j tion be benefited. A broader principle is involved, one that is mak ing headway toward general recognition. Taxes for school purposes should be equalized through the adoption of a system of levy that will equalize the wealth taxed. In other departments of the state government this prevails, and with little or no hard ship on any district it might be applied to schools. If the Hall bill provokes discussion that will bring this principle more clearly before the public, good will result. Methods of school financing in Nebraska are old fashioned, and entirely out of line with existing comlitio*s, and a change must come to relieve the property owner without ham pering the school. FORT KEARNEY FOR SCOUT CAMP Kearney people are interesting themselves in a movement that should have some attention. It is to procure the site of old Fort Kearney for the pur pose of establishing a Boy Scout camp. Much of historic and pioneer sentiment of value clusters around this ancient post. It was estab lished long before the civil war as one of a chain of military posts designed to guard the Overland trail, and make as safe as possible the passage of the trains that were becoming so numerous on the route, the forerunners of the railroad. At Fort Kearney the plunge into the Indian country really was taken. At Fort Kearney westbound outfits overhauled *their gear, made the last purchases of preparation, and set out for a journey of some 300 miles across the ‘•desert,” to Fort Laramie. Other posts and stations marked the way, but the Pawnees, Chey ennes and Sioux made the venture one of risk, while the hazards provided by nature, in the way of bad river crossings, scarcity of water, danger of disease and in other forms, would have daunted any but the hardy souls who made the west. Kearney has grown up there, a splendid exam ple of a modern city, with homes, schools, and all fhat goes to make for culture and permanence. 1U people are concerned for the preservation of the site of the old military post, either as a national park or as a scout camp. MOSUL AND THE NEAR EAST. Round and round they go at Lausanne, the good old thimblerigging game of diplomacy as practiced for centuries in Europe getting daily exemplification that ought to please Americans when they remem ber that we are merely observers. Lord Curzon now agrees with Isinet Pasha that further time be taken for consideration of the treaty, at the aame time berating Prance for having broken a compact that held an ultimtum for the Turk. Just at present the French have ull the threat of war they care to entertain; in the Ruhr ample occupation is afforded them, and they have little :f any stomach for further engagements over Syria, Mesopotamia, or even Mosul. Likewise it should not be forgotten that Lloyd George was tumbled out of office because he shook the mailed fist at Turkey in August. The British lion is inclined to roar very gently just now; most Englishmen have had enough of war, and will be disinclined to sus tain a minister’s foreign policy, where the safety of the empire is not concerned, to the extent of going to war. Mosul has in a large sense been settled by the action of the United States in demanding the open door, to which the Turks have assented, and in which France finds some consolation, having been deprived of exclusive control of the region through the failure of Clemenceau to appreciate its value when negotiating with Italy in 1916. Fiance has other reasons for leaning to the Turk; these may not be sufficient to warrant a complete break with Great Britain, hut are weighty enough to prevent France from accepting without demur the British policy. A fortnight of wailing may bring about a much better state of feeling at Lausanne; a little period of cooling off is never harmful. None of the na tions involved actually wants to go to war, and it is reasonable to think that any safe way out will be welcomed. WHEN PEOPLE ARE LONELY. “Oh, the loneliness of it all!” moaned a young woman who had been prevented from casting herself to death in the river. She was testing her soul against the bitterest experience mortals ever endure. To be lonely, when surrounded by relatives, and by acquaintances who might be friends, if but tried, is terrible trial for the mental capacity and moral courage of anyone. It is not enough to say to this, or to any other suf ferer under the same conditions, that they need not be lonely. Such advice does not cure the ailment. It is possible to tenderly lead her away from the morbid state of her mind, to renew her interest in life, to show her the world is full ot people who will be her friends, on whom she can rely and from whom she can receive both comfort and help. Sympathy is not lacking in the world. It is the greatest possession of our people as h whole. What victim has ever made known his misfortune and not received aid? Not merely material aid, for that is the cheapest possible form of relief, but that priceless gift, the understanding commiseration of men and women who are sincere and wise enough to apply their con solation without offense even to the most sensitive of natures. oh. It was pitiful! In a whole cityful Friend she hnd none. That was not even true of London when Tom Hood wrote it; the trouble was that poor girl did not know where to go, even in a city where the church holds open its doors without end. Contrast this scene with that of the lamp in the. pastor’s study in “The Charity Ball,” and you will know what is meant. Refuge and care anil loving ministration await all who seek it, and it is far better to seek for it than to look for surcease from trouble in death. Loneli ness can be averted, friends can be made, but some effort must be put forth on the part of the sufferer. When that effort is rightly made, it will be discovered that every city, large or small, has a warm heart, and that selfishness is far from being a universal rule. Men ami women want to help one another, know ing that such employment brings the greatest reward that comes to mortal beings. None need to be lonely who will give the generous souls that abound in the world a chance to be friendly. Omaha has another extensive program of paving mapped for the coming summer, and it might be of interest to note that Sixteenth street is to be let alone for one year. Too bad the first damage to the new cruiser “Omaha” had to be set down as the result of a “crap” game. Buffalo now has a natural gas supply of the sort that will burn. It long has had ample of the heated but noncombustible kind. “Help carry a buddie’s pack,” the Legion slogan, might be adopted for general use and no harm done. A moratorium of about a month of talk might help out in Europe. Coue should have gone to Lausanne; at least he is needed there. Well, here comes February, r’arin’ to go. A Plea for Tra in Comfort -From the Scientific American. --— It is an invidious task to criticize any part (and es pecially such a very essential part as the sleeping car) of a railroad system which has given to the world the Pullman car. the dining car, the chair car, and the observation car, and by the invention of the vestibule has made the whole length of a train available for pas senger movement. Nevertheless. It is a fact that our sleeping car arrangements for dressing or undressing morning and night, for washing, shaving and sanita tion—to say nothing of the provision for sex separation and privacy—aie aisiut as unhappily contrived as they can well be. In the endeavor to get into or out of his clothes, the traveler has to choose between dressing in the aisle.' or the performance of weird, acrobatic feats within the narrow compass of his berth. For his morn ing ablutions h« must bump his encumbered way through the car, to find himself crowded into a smok ing room (for the time being extemporized as a dress ing room) w here he shaves at the peril of an accidental jolt to his elbow, and washes—or waits—as the gods may decide. Now this question of sleeping car construction is a technical matter, and it is capable of satisfactory so lution. The state room cars in this country and on the continent (where, by the day, they are universal) prove that it is possible to ensure a decent separation of the sexes, and not only provide absolute privacy but make each two-room apartment a separate day and uight room, with its own individual conveniences. Nor can we see why the separate state room sleeper should call for a much higher fare. Structurally, there is involved, it is true, the building of partitions and the provision of individual lavatories; but if the I system became universal, the cost of these would be nroportlonsllv re/Siie.-H “From State and Nation” —Editorials from Other Newspajfers— “Made In Nebraska.” Will M. Maupin In lha Gc-i-in* Mid wait, i Isn't it about time for the various [ commercial organizations of Nebraska to join in a real campaign of educa tion having for its purpose the pro motion of sale* of Nebraska made goods? Nebrusa raises the best garden products in the world, yet the bulk of our canned goods are imported from other states. We ship our hides east to be tanned into leather, and then buy back in the shape of har ness ad siloes instead of buying from Nebraska manufacturers.

We raise outs in vast quantities, and the best In the world, ship them out— and then Import trainloads of oat meal.

Producing mine raw food stuffs per capita than any other state, we ship most of them away to be manufactured, and then huy hark plus the double transportation charges, extra profit, cost of canning and cartoning, etc. We pay wages to workers in other states to do the work that our people should he priv ileged to do at decent wages. What's the matter with a "Made In Nebraska" campaign? Money I toward ( lass. From th* !>*« Moines Refiner. "General Harbord s splendid work in France entitles him to any reward within the government's gift. His re tired salary represents a most trifling appreciation of his military record. It should go to him, no matter what salaries he draws. It is a debt of honor. And such debts of honor are not measured by the wants or Afflu ence of those to whom they are paid." —New York Tribune. Jt would l>e interesting to go back and quote from the Tribune in this matter of “title to reward," “debt of honor” and tho like when it was pro posed to make ttie boys who actually fought the war good in some degree ! for the financial setback they got in their two years' service. What is the difference between an officer in the annv and the common j soldier that makes a financial re- ^ ward the expected thing for the of ficer and utterly unthinkable for the soldier? Is there something about lying in the mud ditches and meeting the no- 1 tual hardships of war. while tho of- , fleers ure comfortably housed well out of the range of tho guns, that makes the soldier's service so honor- i able that tho suggestion of reward tarnishes it? What did General Harbord do that puts him In the money reward class 1 that the boys in tho trenches did not | do? Forestry in Missouri. From the ^t. Louie Olobe-l>emoorat. A Mil introduced by Senator Frank IT. Farris creates a State Board of Forestry, composed of six members who would serve without compensa tion, and provides for a program of public education to promote the prac tice within the state of forestry meth ods that would contribute to the growth and conservation of timber. It makes provision, also, for the ac quisition of forests by the state, which would be used for experiments in for est management, at the direction of the forestry board, for the checking of forest tires, and for the main tenance of state nurseries with a view to reforestation. The board would be empowered to appoint competent tier sons to carry out Its Instructions and to tlx their salaries. The bill has the support of the Mis souri State Forestry association, which was organized in 1921 for the purpose of forest conservation, and there is no reason why it should meet with opposition from any quarter. The great reserves of Missouri yellow pine have already disappeared, say officers of the association, while the tracts of first-class hardwood are de pleted. and other timber supplies arc rapidly diminishing. The dwindling away of extensive areas of timber Is so generally observed, in fact, that sentiment Is thought to be very fa vorable to a measure designed to pre vent further wasteful destruction of forests, and to repair past damage, which has continued for TOO years without the adoption of any policy by the state intended to preserve valuable Umber resources uselessly destroyed. Present conditions, observed in the recession of forest areas in every part of the state, make the adoption of such a policy an immediate necessity. In some sections, formerly having large areas in forests, the timber sup plies are already inadequate. But, up on a view into the future of the state, this need becomes imperative. When 'he object of a poetic admonition, the woodman may sometimes spare a sin gle tree, but If impelled by economic necessities to fell an entire forest, he will swing his ax heedlessly and with Daily Prayer \ With thanksgiving 1st >our requests be made known unto Uod.—Phil. 4 t>.

Our Soldiers’ German Wives. From the Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. The situation regarding the admis sion to this country of the foreign born wives of Arnerlcun soldiers, which has been under discussion as a result of President Harding's order for the return of our troops from Germany, seems U> require a little explanation. Before the passage of the Cable law by congress a woman marrying an American soldier automatically took the nationality of her husband. She did not have to take out citizenship papers in order to he an American citizen. The new law provides for the retention of their original citizen ship by foreigners marrying Ameri cans. If they wish to become Ameri can citizens they must pursue the reg ular course for naturalization. Un- j der the new immigration law, limiting , the number of admissions to this country to a certain annual quota of each nationality, it Would be tech nically possible for an American hus band to be admitted while his wife might be excluded if the quota for j the country from which she came had ' been exhausted. But this is by rio means the case with Germany, which has not sent us nearly so many Immigrants as she is entitled to do under the law. Conse quently there is no obstacle to the admission of the wives of our soldiers who have been doing duty on the | Rhine. Those married since Septem ber 22, when the Cable law went into effect, will come in with the status of desirable immigrants from Germany, provided they are able to pass the prescribed tests ns to health and liter acy. Those who married before that date will be regarded as American citizens, the same as their husbands. In either ease no practical difficulty stands in the way, since it may be assumed that (he wives of our sol diets will be able to read and write. The technical discrimination with re tard to those who married after Sep- ■ tember 22 Is necessary under the law. but practically their admission should be as easy as that of those who be came American citizens with their marriages. Common Sense • Don’t l,et Prosperity Slip Away. Do you ever glance around the sta tion or street cars f>r other pine a ' where people congregate in crowds, j and notice the few who are happy and contented looking? Have you noticed that by far the I greater number of sour unhappy faces, belong to persona who are fairly well i dressed, and are prosperous looking, j rather than otherwise?

Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Somewhere 1 have read, "Let another praise thee, and not thine own lips," and I was surely re minded of it when "Devout Chris tian” complains in today's issue of the indifference and carelessness of ministers. It is amazing how much ignorance one can utter in a few words. What does "Devout Chris tian" know of the busy life of the ministry? Was it not the business of those who had charge of'the burial of Earl Williams to secure a minis ter? Does "Devout Christian" ex pert the more than 350 ministers to attempt to do ttie work of one minis ter? Does he know of one minister being asked-who refused to officiate at the final obsequies of Earl Wil liams? I think J know the ministry, not only of Omaha, but of the coun try generally, and doubt seriously that any man would refuse bad he been asked, and it had been possible for him to act. There is no body of men who are. making greater effort or sacrifice for the good of others, and who are eager to do good. Every man would be glad to do more. 1 think I speak for many other pas tors when I say no condition of pov erty. trouble or sorrow will hinder our service for troubled homes and hearts. Does not "Devout Christian" oon vey a wrong impression? Would not the communication have been greatly Improved by a little healthy com ment from tile editor? Why did not "Devout Christian” sign his name? In this connection may I suggest also that one or more ministers might be asked to serve in the capacity of city chaplain. We have chaplains supported by the government for army, navy, penitentiary, for old sol diers' homes, legislatures and for con gress. Is not a chaplain needed for the county jail when 150 or more men are confined—where hundreds of men are kept for longer or shorter periods. 1 have found tlie prisoners very ap preciative listeners. Provision is now made for a regular Sunday afternoon service in .the county jail. It is a valuable experience for any minister anjf profitable for the men behind the bar. W. H. JORDAN, Pastor Third Presbyterian Church, President Omaha Bible Institute. Last Kites for a Bootlegger. Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: If it is not too late for comment upon the sad demise of tho late Earl Williams, I should like a few words with our readers. Wo are Christians! We are civiliza tinn! Yet. In tiie heart of a city that, apparently, has no heart, a life passed out into oblivion, unheeded—perhaps unheralded? And somehere, in this far reaching realm of humanity tho tear-blurred eyes of a mother may watch in vain Cor her boy. She loves him. unknow ing—God loves him, knowing. Let us wonder what overpower ing influence impelled his groping footsteps to find and traverse the path whose shimmering gilt of prom ise was ever the will-o'-the-wisp which beckoned him on until the yawning chasm of the underworld claimed him for its own. And the devil gloating n triumph sits cross legged and mocks, whispering in the ears of his comrades how a populace of heathens turned scornful hacks to his plight. Who are we to shun lifeless clay? There Is not one among us who is immune from sin. It Is for us to loathe the crime—all the while we have mercy for the criminal—for once his heart was pure is gold. Miisters sit Idly by condemning the passing notoriety of Ur. Percy S. jrant and his dogmatic beliefs while i lowly grave receives a body in dis grace and silence.

VEE LEIDY. Progress of n Race. Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: From the bondage of slavery and poverty, no race in such a limited period and under such try ing circumstances has ever made more progress than has been made by the negro in the United States of America. Instead of being discour aged under conditions over which he had no control, the negro has simply faced the situation, forged ahead and written on the pages of history a record which has challenged the at tention and respect of the entire civilized world. I am certain this ,ir tide will serve to inspire the future generation of the negro as well as to enlighten the children of other races as to the history of the colored people, thereby giving them a larger and more sympathhetic view of all human problems. It is for that rea son I wish to reach every colored family in Omaha through this paper. The Omaha Bee, and to have them read this wonderful article. w BOBBIE BROWN. ^ The Habit of Intolerance. Omaha.—To the Kditor of The Omaha Bee: A malady which iB af feeding our national life today is intolerable. AVe are in an era of re form. AVe are in a habit of correct ing everything which does not hap pen to please our individual self. AA'e call our country the "land of tile fr^e and the homo of the brave," and we still adorn our largest port of entry with a statue of Liberty, yet on every hand we see evidences of persons with private opinions and personal views trying to inflict them on the masses and classes by cor rective measures, ordinances or let; islation. AVe have become so in the habit of legislating that we are al most forgetful of the basic principle of our constitution—liberty, equality and justice. We must pause for a time and begin to educate instead of legislate. J. A. S.
