. ' 'Tne PVesident and the ITfgTO.
' The presfdent has taken offense -at the tone
in which be was addressed by the spokesman
of a delegation' of negroaa. aaaiast the race
segregation Instituted by his administration
among the' department clerks at Washington.
In the rebuke visited npon the'offender, Presi
dent Wilson declared that never before bad any
American citlsen.ever come into the White
house and addressed the president in such a
tone.
But regardless of the tone, the president
should have remembered that never before has
an American citizen been compelled, to go to
the White house to protest against such' arbi
trary and- persistent acts of race dlserlmfuatlon
on' tne part of the highest officials in the land.
Tire president should remember , that never since
the black man was invested with civil rights
have the negro department clerks been put -at,
the absolute mercy of the southern oppressors
of this rare, and denied a hearing and redress
by the chief executive of the nation. '
The president's refusal to listen .further to
the committee chairman whose plain talk was
unwelcome, will, of course, arouse a, burst of.
enthusiastic applause all over tke south, but
we doubt whether It will strengthen him among
thinking people who are free from race prej
udice. '
Let Us Make Sure.
Reports indicate no hoof and mouth disease
among Nebraska live stock, for which we are all
duly "grateful. In this connection, however, we
are impressed by the protest of the general mana
ger of the' Chicago Union Stock yards against
the government's action In' curtailing" its cam
paign of eradication to save public funds. The
Bureau of Animal Industry, which launched
such a sweeping Investigation, now orders the
saving of as many animals as possible found to
be but slightly affected with the plague "on the
grounds of economy."
Thin orderf as Is poluted out,- may prove to,
be false economy In the end, with $8,5i0.000,
000 worth" of "live stock In the country exposed'
to the ravages of disease. While It entails great
hardship 'to have to slaughter valuable stock,
the loss cannot compare with- the pdsslbillUe
of the sxpurge,unaWed..-' Tbe .' government's
expert may prove to hav correctly sensed the
situation, but in, the absence of any known rem
edy for the disease, the sparing of affected cat
tle is decidedly hasardoua.
Glimpse at the Balance Sheet..
The Income of the government for the fiscal
year to date of November 7,' as shown by the
dally treasury report, was. $229,788,610.41, as
.compared with -1254,869,029.75 for-the aame
date a year ago. That Is a loss of Income of
$30,090,419.34. The total disbursements for
the year to thU date were $292,476,117.20, as
compared with $276,587,787.01 last year at this
time. This is an' excess in disbursements for
this year of $16,888,370.19. In a word, these
figures show an outgo over Income for the pres
ent flacal year to date of $62,707,626.79, as
against only $20,1X, 887.26 a .year; ago. The
general fund balance on November 6. this year,
waa $87,178,174.02; on November 6, $85,679.-
899.63; . on November 7, . $83,483,606.02, a
steady decline. fThe receipts on November '7,
for example, increased the general fund balance
by $1,601,196.71. while the disbursements that
day decreased the general fund balance by $3,
T97.489.82. v Of course,' the drop In -customs receipts cuts
tt vital figure in these declines. The decrease
in these receipts for the fiscal year up to No
vember 7, as compared with the same period of
the year previous' was $41,894,443.62. Internal
. revenue receipts also fell off, though not nearly
is heavily aa customs receipts. Congressional
appropriations.' or ordinary ,- disbursements,
amounted to $16,616,15195 (less expended bal
ances returned) more than the aame item one
year ago at this time.
This array of figures may at tlrat glance
seem rather uninteresting, but we feel sure It
will warrant careful consideration. Every Item
is taken from the treasury's own dally statement
and conveys lta own significance, both aa to
causes and consequences. . v

. The Swinging1 Political Pendulum. ' ' .
In the light of late election returns, to
gether with the general .trend or popular senti
mont, may be. seen a slow but sure swinging of
the old political pendulum back toward the side
of more rational. thinking. Evidently the peo
ple see. the futility of the nostrums and vagarlea
brought forth over night for their regeneration.
Of all the wild factors entering into the bedlam
of hysteria that has held sway, the muck-raker
;vaa first to go. Naturally, he would be, for he
had less to offer and leas to detain him. After
he hid sounded his alarm and given his tom
tom a few vigorous punches there was nothing
for him to do, 'Magazines that exploited . his
work and made It possible soon reartted .the
damage they were doing and declared they
would have no more of it, With the market
for their wares withdrawn, of course, the muck
rakers had to go out of business.- Then the
less violent, but none the less damaging, and-
business dopester, the practiced political dema
gogue seeking selfish ambition, was rather ef
fectually. Indeed dramatically, silenced, and tke
noise died down so that now it Is poeslble for
rational men to be heard.
- To continue along this ltne of progress It is
necessary to make poeslble the work of con
struction required to' replace the destruction
already wrought. We may appreciate the 'full
effect of the European war upon our econooUo
conditions, yet we must not overlook! the' feet
that the forces operating in our own' land must
again be controlled and directed in a way to
build our commerce and industry .to strength
and permanence. -
The Federal Reserve board has announced
as part of lta. policy that no city w lib. less than
100.000 inhabitants will be made a reserve city.
And yet Lincoln, with only about 60,000 popu
