The Searchlight, published at Washington and pretending to represent all that I* good in public life, and posing a* the defender of the people and the public conscience, says; "Vet, In this tragic hour. with 'he 'rl>' f»*# °* democracy nt stake. »f tint! practically Ills whole press of the country nnlte.1 In an effort to chloro form the public conscience, to stlfl" Intelligence, to iwlsi and turn popular opinion toward ihe lielief Hint these investigations are only political.' that It Is the duty of rongress to cense Its 'muck raking.' oii,i lorn to legislation." More of downright misrepresentation it would be difficult to compress in a paragraph of equal length. Not only is the charge laid against the press of the country false, hut it is a libel that would be indict able if laid against an individual. There is not a newspaper in the United States that is not as eager to have graft and corruption exposed and the guilty ones punished as this Washington publication that «eeks to rally support to itself by making direct ap peal to prejudice and ignorance. • • • There is not now, nor has there been, any propaganda aimed at suppressing the investigations. On the other hand, there is an insistent demand that the investigations proceed. But there is an equally insistent demand that the investigations be pushed with a view to ascertaining the real facts and not with a vmw to making political capital or advancing the selfish political schemes of wten who disguise their personal plans under a cloak of self-righteous ness. .Suspicion and innuendo are not proof; scandal mongering is not prosecution. Fair minded men will npt convict on the evidence of ex-convicts and dis credited and discharged employes who tell what "they heard” some one say was said to them. In almost every case the third person in this triangle of hearsay is dead, and can not come forth to defend himself. Those who demand that the investigations be conducted fairly, and on the constitutional idea that innocence is presumed until guilt is fixed, arc not rightfully to be charged with spreading propa ganda calculated to discredit all investigations and conniving at the covering up of corruption and graft. The newspapers that are demanding honest investi gations and fair hearings are doing far more to up hold the constitution and banhli corruption in high place than sensational publications like The Search light. * * * Bccnusc a few men charged with euirupt and illegal prretices have demanded the same considera tion that is shown to murderers, they arc charged by The Searchlight with flaunting the sovereign power of congress to investigate. The charge is hb false ; j it is absurd. Were Daugherty and Kail and all the rest of them as guilty as hell, the fact still re mains that they are entitled to make defense, and within their constitutional rights when they criticize an inquisition that seems determined to fix guilt on testimony that would not be admitted before a jus (ice of the peace. No doubt'The Searchlight, as all other news papers that have been praising the hearsay standal piongering in Washington, is figuratively tearing its hair because of the indictment of Senator Wheeler, one of the leaders in the investigators’ thrre-ringed circus. No doubt, too, they praise the “inquiry" which is giving Wheeler and his client, Cnmpbell, in dicted with hum, a chance to fix up their defense. The case against Wheeler and Cnmpbell will finally be tried before the courts in Montana. They j|>oth have the assurance that hearsay testimony will not be admitted against them. That they will be protected agaipst men and women who merely have big talea to tell. • NEBRASKA CAN STAND INSPECTION. "Know Nebraska!” That slogan is beginning to be heard from many quarters. It will !»■ worth while, too, if it is followed out. So many things to know about Nebraska that only a few ever find out. Everybody is acquainted with the general knowl edge that Nebraska turns out a lot of fine foodstuffs every year. This is not merely the wheat and corn, the potatoes, beef, pork and mutton, the butter and the eggs. Nebraska raises all of them, and In addi tion sends out a lot of fruit, vegetables and aimilar produce. All this is known. Other information that should be disseminated has to do with the geography of the state, its topog raphy, climate, latent resources and possible oppor tunities. Get acquainted with the fact that Nebraska has a riee in elevation of 3,000 feet from the Mis ■ouri river to the Wyoming line. Learn that two watersheds divide the state; and that while all it* rivers eventually reach the Missouri, some flow east, some flow north and some flow south. The highest point in Nebraska would be a mountain anywhere else, but here It is just, a rise in the ground. Two Omaha men once made a trip of over 600 miles in a canoe, all on Nebraska rivers, and inside the rtate. They rods the Dismal, the CalaniHS, the Loup and the Platte rivers, and had a corking good time. Nebraska has lakes, where fishermen enjoy them selves. She has some of the most beautiful acenery that Ilea out of doors. Many poets, including John G. Nelhardt and our own Will M. Maupin, have tuned their harps to the beauties of the landscape, while painters have rhapsodised over the sunsets and the sunriaea that ara on view here all the year around. Nebraska haa towns and cities, villages and ham lets, each worthy of a special atudy. Minden. for example, with He aummer band eoncerts, to which the country people resort on summer evenings.

A standard of living, of personal conduct, t« concerned, the maintenance of which tc important to the people of the United State*. Americans have not departed from the well known statement contained in the Declaration of In dependence, that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain un alienable right*, that among these are life, liberty, and the pusuit of happiness.” The right of Arneri can* to pussuc their happiness along lines that arc divergent from Japanee customs and manners will not bo disputed. Equally, we can concede the same right to the Japanese. “East is east and west is west,” and their ways are not our way*. They may he better, but we do not follow them, while they have shown little desire or aptitude in the matter of taking on ours. Where the Japanese is by himself in the United States, he outwardly conforms to the manners and customs around him. Where he is present in num bers, he retains the way* of Nippon. For these and other reasons he has been denied citizenship, and the exclusion act is aimed only at such aliens as can not become citizens. The policy is not novel, and should not shock anybody. Americans are desirous of as similating all who come to our shores seeking to be made citizens, and who are worthy of such honor. For the others, let us quote from President Cool idge message to the congress: "American institutions rest solely on good citi zenship. They were created by people who h»d * background of self government. New arrival* should be limited to our capacity to absorb them Into good citizenship. . . . Those who do not want to be partakers of the American spirit ought not to settle In America." It is not numbers we are looking for now, but quality, and the exclusion is not aimed at the Japanese alone. This reflection may soften the blow in Tokio. It should also have some effect on all the world. WHY TAKE A CHANCE? Doctors are still arguing vehemently whether bovine or other lower animal forms of tuberculosis can be communicated to man. This has been going on for many years, and without a definite con clusion. Those who contend that the animal infec tion is not transferable to man hold to their con clusions with a tenacity that is unequaled in em piricism. It is always possible they are right, hut it is equally possible they are wrong. The fact that animals of different species can contract the disease from one another is established. It has also been established that in man the disease is not transmitted by heredity, that a tubercular mother may bear a healthy child, and rear it in health if she be careful. But it has also been es tablished that milk will carry the germa of the dis ease. Onr of the first efforts of the anti-tubercu losis crusade was to secure, a supply of pure milk for infants. Nebraska has made a fine start on the road to eradication of the plague among animals. The ef fort has been going on for years. It has strong sup port among the men who are directly interested In the hig undertaking. These have cleaned up their herds, and they object to having them continually exposed to diseased animals. No one has taken trouble to study or make inquiry will object to this attitude of the dairymen. Finally, so long as there is a dispute between doctors, Why should anyone be exposed? When the question is definitely settled one way or the other some benefit will have to come. Until then, is it not the part of wisdom to avoid unnecessary dan ger? The tubercular eow is a menace, and should be destroyed in Nebraska as she is elsewhere. The senate's Daugherty committee drew a blank when it called Postoffire Inspector Donaldson to the stand. Donaldson testified that he had not been in terfered with in the investigation of the Rio (Jrande land cases, that National Committeeman Creager had helped him. and that he had not been called off by anybody. But Senator Heflin says he was, and there you are. Somehow we can not help admiring the Creston pastor ,who punched the nose of a trouble-making parishioner. That is one form of argument anybody can understand. Expense accounts being filed by candidates indi cate careful management of the primary campaign.

Very early In the 15th century Gregory XII called hi.* wise men together and had certain oortWtion* made In the Julian calen oar. In order that a discrepancy might lie removed. The system adopted by Gregory'* astronomer* and mathema ticians was so very accurate that only aisiut once in 5,000 year* does the unaccounted for time apioutit to a* much as a day. That seems to ha little enough to worry over, when wa ought to lie planning on eternity. Only twice In each year, however. Is there an equal relation between the hour* of daylight and darkness. In .March and again In September, the earth stands on i(* axis perpendb u l.tr to the plane of the sun so that the solar light strikes directly on the globe. The equinox I* th* occasion of more perturbation than its effect on the polar system seem* to warrant Between the equinoxes come the solstices, the one In June, when the hour* of daylight reach their maxi nnim. and that in Deeemiter, when daylight Is shortest.
