While politicians funte and fret and worry lest some be elected to office who are unworthy, let the lest of us remain in a comfortable frame of mind. • electing candidates for the presidency is a very popular pastime just now in certain quarters, those quarters being occupied chefly by men more con cerhed in the distribution of the political loaves and lishes than in the common good. Every good citizen should be deeply concerned about matters political, not as they affect our indi vidual fortunes, but as they have effect for the com mon good. But this thing of worrying about things that never happen is becoming altogether too com mon, and worrying about what may happen to the country is the worst habit possible. Invariably we find out that out of the turmoil, out of the strife and contention, out of the mudslinging and abuse of every national campaign, we always emerge with a great and good man selected for the office of chief executive. History will not record the elevation of an evildoer to that exalted position, so, therefore, let us each do our little bit towards making the wisest possible s'Section, the good of the whole people being the thing nearest to our hearts, and rest content in the knowledge that “God will not cast away a per fect man; neither will He help the evildoer.” Right now we are more concerned about many things than we are about whether Henry Ford, or William McAdoo, or Oscar Underwood, or Calvin Coofidge, or any other man heretofore mentioned, shall be our next president. Just at this particular moment we are more concerned about the welfare of the whole people. To us a returning prosperity for the tillers of the soil is of much more concern, at this time, than party politics. We find it extremely easy and unusually pleasant to turn away from the consideration of potential presidential candidates to lend enthusiastic support to the filling of Omaha’s community chest, to the end that want and suffering be reduced to the minimum in this great metropolis. Right now Henry Ford’s candidacy is of slight inter est compared to the task of securing for the unfor tunate a fair share of life’s joys. Nebraska is interested, of course, in the matter of presidential candidates, but a greater concern right now is that there shall be a proper selection of seed corn as a basis for next year’s crop. The matter of selecting a senator next year is a most important one, but consideration of that .{nat ter may well be postponed until we make sure that no Nebraska child is compelled to trudge breakfast less to a schooror remain at home because of a lack of warm clothing. Revenue and taxation sre always of deep con cern, but right now we would do well to dismiss them temporarily from our minds while we make sure that no Nebraska mother is compelled to see her father less brood, hungry and ill clad, dragged from hei side to be scattered in alien homes. The governorship of Nebraska is a matter that should engage our thoughtful attention when the proper time comes to make a selection, but consid eration of that matter may well be postponed while we plan how to secure to the producer a fair share of the products of his toil. Why passively submit / to injustice in the distribution of the rewards of toil while worrying lest God/cast down a good man and exalt an evildoer. On this first day of the week, commonly called Sunday, it is well that we should turn our thoughts near home; that we pause in our worrying about what may happen, and take cognizance of what is banptning. The time to cross the bridge of presiden tial selection is when we reach it, but right now let us concern ourselves about correcting present day in justices, about alleviating distress at our very doors, about the wail of hungry little ones, about the better guidance of the boys and girls who are the citizens of tomorrow. “Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man. Neither will He help the evildoer.” IN A SPIRIT OF VENTURE. A little girl was once told by her mother not to touch the hot stove. The little girl wanted to find out of her own knowledge and got her tiny front finger blistered as a result of the experiment. Long before her day, though, the test had been made. Adam and Eve took a chance, and landed outside the Garden of Eden as a result. Thus it has gone. Man is curious, venturesome, and will try anything once. No instinct is more deeply rooted than that which leads to taking a chance. It finds its expression in many ways, chiefly in betting. No matter what the proposition is, someone is willing to lay a wager on the outcome, one way or the other. Mere excitement does not account for the fact that men will bet for the sake of having something at. stake. A sport of any sort seemingly does not satisfy unless • it have the added fillup of a personal stake, how ever small. Nervousness will not account for this, tor the most phlegmatic of races are the most in veterate gamblers. Chinese, for example, who are fanrtical in their materialism, or the Indian, whose fatal! m is proverbial, find in the chance of the game an expression of the favor of the gods of for tune at the moment. Civilised or not, men bet, win or lose, and go their way without outward sign of elation or depression as the result may turn. No trait of human nature is more baffling. The venturesome spirit that has led great discovery is an uspect of the same imptflse that leads to wagers over the smallest of considerations. Maybe recognition of this will help to explain some of the perversity that is shown by men and women in regard to certain reforms thut are deemed for the good of all mankind. Human nature is a stubborn thing. Whadda y’Jcnow about that? A Lincoln judge has ordered a married man not to flirt! Does this cast a stigma on the entire bunchT Army men arc going a fast pace these days, one •f them just having made an average of 250.6 miles ■B hM a racing plane test. “ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE." Omaha is about to enter on her first Community Chest campaign. The matter has been studied from all angles, has been thoroughly considered, and an organization to carry on the administration of the fund has been perfected. Next in order is to raise ihe money needed, set this time at a minimum of $402,000. What does the Community Chest comprise? One of its first and most impressive features may be sim ply stated. Examination of records of the various drives for money to carry on the charity work un dertaken by 36 different organizations in Omaha shows that, when all duplications are eliminated, 6,000 subscribers have carried the burden. Under the new plan, it expected that this number will be greatly extended. A few days ago in Minneapolis a total of a little more than $1,100,000 was secured for the community charity budget for the coming year, and it was contributed by 42,000 citizens of Minneapolis. 'Instead of 6.000 giving for Omaha, it is expected that probably 40,000 names will be down on the list when the drive is ended. The campaign will proceed on the theory that every man who is not himself a recipient of charity should be a contributor to charity. On this basis the appeal should be popular. Everyone feels the impulse to do something for the unfortunate, or to help carry on the philanthropic work that is undertaken for the benefit of those who need the assistance of others, either permanently or temporarily. This work ought to be systematized. Folks do not relish the term ^efficiency,” in connec tion with good work of any sort, yet the element of management must be considered when relief work is being carried on. In Omaha the 36 groups af fected by the common budget have hitherto acted in dependently, sometimes even interfering one with the other, and in many ways duplicating the work they are interested in. Such a state of affairs is not good for any. because it produces confusion, uncer tainty, and often puts an undue burden on some. The Community Chest is not planned to hamper any of the groups in its activities, but to assist all through making sure that the money to be used by them will be forthcoming, under conditions each can meet. In other words, each group will be able to go ahead with its definite work, knowing it will be sup ported, and that overlapping will disappear because of co-ordination. Such is the object of the general drive that is about to be set in motion in Omaha. It should not be regarded as an experiment, or looked upon as a device to shut out any or shift the burden of giving. Whole-hearted response by the public will bring success. GRIM DEATH OUTPLAYED. A submarine boat of the United States navy was sunk in the waters off Panama, one day last week, being run down by a freighter. Not so very much in that, for collisions at sea are almost as common nowadays as crashes between motor cars on city streets. Interest was felt, however, in the fate of the men who were on board the little vessel, and this has developed the hero who from time to time flashes across the view when naval disasters are re- | counted. In this case it was the torpedo dispatcher on the submarine. He was on deck, and had plenty of chance to save himself with nothing more than a ducking. Perhaps he thought of that, but he also thought of men who might be asleep in the hold be low him. Instead of jumping into the water and swimming to safety, he jumped into the open hatchway, awaken ed a seaman, and the pair closed the hatch before much water entered. Then began the long wait for | he rescue they felt sure would follow. All this sounds prosaic enough, and as related by the sur vivors becomes very matter of fact. What arrests thought is that the boy—he is only 1 19—did not know if he would be rescued; he only knew that if he did not act promptly, men asleep I below him would be drowned in their bunks. So down he went, to awaken them and give them the one chance of being saved. He added his name to | the list that is steadily growing in the navy and army annals of men who risk their own well being that their comrades may have a chance. Simple enough, when told in words, but tremen- i dojjsly important when calmly viewed. It is the reul glory of the service, for it was not done in presence j of the embattled foeman, but as a routine act when i danger and death threatened in an unexpected form. ' Henry Breault’s name goes down with other heroes who have brought honor to themselves and pride to Americans. While Omaha has been entertaining a crowd that looked like all the school teachers in the world, Scottsbluff has been acting as host to a gathering of more than 1,000 of the guild. A proof of what the public school system of Nebraska really means. Omaha school children put on a fine pngeant and musical program to entertain the visiting teachers and the public, demonstrating the growth of esthetic along with cultural training in the public schools. Primitive notions of justice still prevail in Ari zona. Upper classmen who trimmed the locks of freshmen as a Hallowe’en prank" were themselves shorn by order of the authorities. Bob La Follette comes buck from Europe, a little discouraged, hut still hopeful. He expects to save America by bringing us a little nearer sovietism. Mr. Sapiro is having some difficulty in convinc ing Missouri valley farmers that they know nothing about co-operative methods. Lloyd George will take home with him impres sions that folks in the United States arc cordial, even if all do not agree with him. Store news, as found in the advertising columns, indicate no sign of downheartedness among Omsjaa dealers. The weather man made certain that the leaves would stay on the ground for a little while, at least. Postmaster Black urges early Christmas mailing. This entails early Christmas shopping. Go to it! Ultimatums are flying again in Kurope, the season now being open all the year round. Poincare may be adamant, hut he will bo aw fully lonely pretty soon. Another shakeup in the Philippines, hut it was an curthquakn this time. Comptroller General McCarl just enn not keep out of the news. Archbishop Soderbloom has a message, all right. Prairiegraphs AT EVENTIDE. A cosy chair at the close of day. The shouts of Joy as the children play, Cares and worries all laid away. While the home lights brightly burn. A smiling face that with lovelight beams, As she sits and sews in the firelight's glean®; While we both indulge in the old love dreams Of the days of long ago. A quiet hour as the night grows Jong, The blended voices In childish song, And the heart grows light and the faith grows strong In the home light's golden charms. A crooning voice sings a melody To the little one on the mother's knee, And the joy of life is entwining me As entwines that mother's arms. A quiet hour, and the long Jay done; A restful peace that my toff has won. And a sweet content as the hours run To tlie tidoless sen of time. The lips o’ love give a goodnight kiss, A glimpse on earth of a heaven's bliss. Then soft footfalls on the stair—and this Makes the Joys o’ home sublime. An attendant at many banquets, and often afflicted witli long and tedious speeches, as perhaps I have afflicted others, it retrained for the women to break all known records. Attended a woman's banquet the other evening and heard five speeches. All five of them occupied less than four minutes of time, and in that four minutes the women, (lod bless 'em, said more than an equal number of male post pran dial speakers could have said In three hours. And nobody smoked after the dinner, either. Perhaps some of fhomi wanted to, as I did, but I doubt it. And I didn't dare. A few years ago the dear young things said: "flon't spend your money foolishly, Willie. Save, it. fer we’ll need it tit set lip house keeplng.” Now the dear young things lean forward and shriek: "Step on ’er, llill! |'|| stay with jou as long as there’s a wheel on the road.” After listening to the speeches of a number of prominent school men and women, I've decided that the best possible tiling to do along educational lines is to establish primary schools for parents.

And people, to stop tt, may beg and beseech. But ’tis noted that nobody has. One of the tragedies of advanc ing age Is the decreasing ability to make the warm friendships that made bright our more youthful days. A week's association with the teach erH naturally sets me to thinking about schools, and, think of schools, brings up memories of my own school days. My llrst sweetheart was a schoolma'ni. Her name was Shelia O'Mara. 1 proposed to hef. and she took me on her lap nnd kisse'd me. promising to wait for me Perhaps she dal. Maybe Miss O'Mara is wait ing for me yet. She was about 20 years older than I was when I pro posed, my age Iielng 7. If Shelia Shelia O'Mara Is still In the land of the living the frosts of more than SO winters have whitened her hair, hut I n< sure they have not made her dear heart less warm. Speaking of schooldays, as we were, ’’rings up thoughts of Hay's Third Put of Arithmetic, and the old Mc OufTey readers, and the Webster s Womentary Spelling Hook, and the r ritiay afternoon declamations, to gether with really painful recollections or the all too convenient clump of boz.l brush Just back of the school house that provided the corrective ap paratus.

Physical training Is not a ncW de partment In our public schools. We had It annulling like a half-century ago. By the time a fellow had dressed In a room where the temperature is 1« -degrees l.elow zero, painfully In serted his feet into a pair of boots that were w,.ter soaked tho night be fore and dried out as hard as boards, started two tires to gojng, milked two cows, sawed and spilt and carried In enough woo l to last through the day fed and curried four or rive horse*, eatm breakfast nnd walked two mile* or more to tlie school house, he felt preity well physically.

Where toy-shop windows make most magnificent displays, Sharp eyes are slyly peering in undisguised amaze From tiny, wistful faces, so hunger-bit and thin, That say their owners vainly desire the wares within. Where Wealth’s elysian gardens glow with glad blossom ings, Slow-passing on the outside, a beggar baby sings Soft praises while beholding the strange sweet-breathing yard Where he procures no portion, from which he is debarred. Such starveling strays, and darlings whose touch on Riches’ gong Bring Luxury’s excesses, do not all stay here long. The deepest pain of parting we mothers, only, know— Unspeakably we miss them as, one by one, they go. But God will wipe away all their tears and young despair; A disappointed childhood is not permitted There: “These former things” are absent from that .just atmosphere Completely as our children are absent from down here. / 1 love to think of Heaven as Little People’s Land, Where satisfied babes gambol along the nightless strand; rhen on the Shepard’s bosom rest safely, sweetly curled, Like thornless love-blown clusters of rosebuds just unfurled. What have you seen? Are you ever at traded by the voiee of the world of nature which surrounds you? The Omaha Bee welcomes letters from readers on observa tions of nature. ANIMALS AS “GOOD PEOPLE.” It Is a curious thing how determined people are to divide life into th» hu man and animal classes, and attribute all evil and cruelity to the "brutes.” Curious about the origin of this fal lacy, I turned to the Scriptures to see If it eould have arjsen there, although the tone of the Old Testament is sin gularly kindly to all forms of life. I was gratified to find that the Bible does not recognize any such distinc tion. Witness Ecclesiastes, 111, 18-21: “I said In mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. "For that which befalieth the sons • f men befalieth beasts. ev°n one Ihing befalieth them.-: as the one lleth, so dleth the other: yea, they lave all one breath: so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for* all is vanity. "All go unto one place: all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. "Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?" So, It cannot he claimed that the Scriptures place man on a pedestal and the animals In the gutter, to he beaten and abused without pity or lia bility. The plain fact Is that animals are “good people," and obey their natural laws with singular courage and fidel ity. I have eaten, slept and associated with many animals all nw life, and I know nothing but good of them. It Is far worse to be cruel to an animal than to an equal because the animal Is defenseless. I fall to see how the boasts of man kind to possess all the gooodness In living thini-g has been mule good. •‘Civilization,” so called, still pos sesses all kinds of depravity, while animals live out their allotted years with a commendable fidelity to their own laws.

Mar Neill, pastor of Grace Baptist chureli, will preach to day on "Discovering God," in part as follows: John 16:23: "Whatsoever ye ask the Father In My Name He will give it you.” The public interest has been some what reawakened in the subject of the physical origin of man by the re cent discovery of a skull estimated to ibe about one half a million years old. While nobody seems to be willing to risk his reputation on a definite pro nouncement. yet the find adds more fuel to the speculations of the modern Athenians. 3'he discovery of Charles Steinmetz is worth much more to the world. Some people think that his reproduc tion of lightning was his greatest achievement. But it was insignificant compared to the results sec ured In his life by the complete domination of a worthy purpose—the conquering of seemingly unconquerable physical handicaps. By that domination he has released energy that is influencing thousands of lives and will go on to do so a» long as his name is remem bered. And what an age of discoveries this in- In every Meld of human a< :iv ly men are turning up some new thing. This age is a veritable King Tut's tomb, only its discoveries are much more useful. On every hand men and women are running and crying. "See what I have found.” And how won derful It all Is. Treasure, treasure on every hand. N’o one. indeed, though some old fashioned folk think we should make a wiser use of our conveniences. Those people even think that the automobile is a fine thing to have, but Hjat chil dren should not drive. They think that there is a lot of character made b.v compelling a reasonable am tint of drudgery. And we agree with them. Beit the greatest treasure the human race possesses is not its mate1- ’I things, hut rather .Jesu* Christ. The deepest need of the hum i the need of God. Man may disguise this need by self-indulgence, bu wh< ni he comes to himself he will find h'm- ! self needing G- d. And Jesus Christ ; lias come to take the prodigal by the ! hand and lead h m to God. And the way is simple, [f peo ple would'put one-hundredth part of the erergy they waste in trivial things into the matter of satisfying their soul’s needs they wouldn’t l.a so afraid of f/ogyman difficulties. There •’’■re some pe- pie who do not find God through Christ because they are irore interested in finding difficulties than they are in finding God. I^et the soul rnce get a real spiritual thirst and Christ then becomes its satisfying portion. The first direction that Christ gives is that we believe on Him. But men ’urn that direction around and say sight first’ that is. they do in matters of the soul, but not in other things The scientist works out a hypothesis, a guess, if ■ r>u please. He believes I first and sees last. A business rr*» I does the same thing. He outlines a I project and then works It out. la ! fact, that Is why America is America. Men of faith lived here. And men of faith, materially speaking, live here now, and that is why we are leading the world. The laird Jesus utilizes .. the same law on a much higher plane. Believe Him. He that belleveth shall bo saved. This belief involves obedience. Some one has said that all fatherhood has Hn element of sovereignty In it and that the fatherhood without it is not true fatherhood. The children ought to obey. True fatherhood by its very nature demands and compels obedi ence. Jesus said that if we do His will we shall know the doetrlne whether It he of God. We must do the things Jesus says if we are to discover God. This age needs, I believe, a redis [ covery of God in i 'hrisi .Jesus. Dis cussions about the Bible, about the I nature of Christ, about man's origin are very often hut smoke screens that keep Ihe soul from finding God. If tnen would put aside their pride of opitr -n. If they v.ould quit everlast ingly excusing themselves, if they wou’d but yt ne with till- inquiring m nd of a child and *«*ek from Christ the wev to God. the result would be a great spiritual uplift. Our churches nerd it our country needs it, our age needs it. N. H. Hawkins, pastor of Hill side f it gregatknutl church, will preach today on (lie topic, "A Glorious Task,” saying: To the church of Jesus Christ was committed th< most wonderful task in all the world. Paul under the Im pulse of the spirit* of God condensed h:s task into a brief message in the letter to Timothy: "Preach the word." Passing on good news is a pleasant tr.sk: not always easy, for it some times happens that those who need the word of God rr.- -si are blinded to their need am] with no faith in the power of the word to help them, in our day we need to remember that Jesus said: "Heaven and earth may p.i-s away, hut My word shall not pass away." \Vh> n the hills a nr. archies >f Nebraska have pass'd < way and our c-it:** gone, the word oA^ c God win still endure. * t Where rr.en and women hear snd cl,ev th-- word of God, lives are trans f' rmed. doubts vanish and a peace of heart takes p ssess'on of life. Every tn—liter „f t| e church, which is His Itody. is to Cere in the Joyous task of trassmg on the word of God. The mother in the home, the teacJi er in the schoo^. ti e man as he min t!es with his fettow- men. ail who have he1 rd the word and have been en riched bv it. nov have a part in pass ing on its message to others. Not our opinions, art or philosophy can save men. hut the word of God, written bv men moved by the spirit of God. What a joy to pass on that which brines true happiness to men. Pass on the word of God then that others may rejoice In the light, abide in it# sweet assurance end be saved fmm the doubts so common in our age.

CALDWELL’S SYRUP PEPSIN Keeps young girls Jit False Modesty THI' young lady just assuming the responsi bilities of a woman is very apt to be self conscious of her physical functions, and in consequence neglect them. There is no time, however, when it is more important for her to look after them. Chief among her troubles is const ipation. and her suffering will be serious when she gets older if she does not regulate her bow ls now. Mrs. Mary Kellar of 132 Benton St., Sisterville, W. Ya„ was perplexed about her daughter until her ow n druggist told her they used Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at his hou«e, and she did likewise. Miss Irene Mazierska of 90 Peter St., Buffalo, N. Y., is glad her attention was calk'd to Syrup Pepsin. Safe for Young and Old I/'t mothers with growing daughters interest themselves in this matter and see that their judgment is enforced. A rule followed by many is to take a spoonful of Dr. Calitwell’a Syrup Pepin once a week until the bowels function daily, and at Kiidi other times as there is headache, biliousness, sores and fever* blisters, lack of energy and appetite, sleeplessness, ,indigestion. Wrecks Health A dose can be given in these conditions to any member of the family however young or old as Syrup Pepsin is a simple compound of Egyptian senna with pepsin and pleasing aro matics, and perfectly safe. Public Recognizes Merit You will quickly see the difference between a mild laxative like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep sin and castor oil. or rough cathartics and physics. Syrup Pepsin acts gently and does not gripe. Increased doses are not necessary. A bottle can be had at any drug store, and a spoonful costs less than a cent. It has been successfully used few thirty years and is the largest selling liquid laxative in the world, over 10 million bottles having been sold in drug stores last year.
