Importance of "Cancer Week." ,

Ised the conscience and mind of the world
h've for the elimination of its causes. In the
way untimely death from disease is chal

the same period this nation lost 180,000
ans from cancer. .
his comparison emphasizes the importance
lublic attention for "Cancer week," which is
being conducted in Omaha and throughout
state and nation. Open discussion of this
is necessary to the prevention of many
uess deaths. Churches, schools and clubs
opened their meetings to physicians for lec
on cancer. The knowledge is thus being
d that prompt treatment will eradicate it.

From Paris to Belgrade.
Having succeeded to the throne of the Serbs,
Croats and Slovenes', King Alexander has left
the pleasures of Paris for the duties of Del
grade. No doubt he can appreciate the reply
given Frederick the Great by one of the French
philosophers with whom the Prussian monarch
uted to sup. "What would you do if you were
the king of Prussia?" he demanded of them, one
day. One after the other came flattering and
witty rejoinders until the Marquis d'Argens
closed the discussion by sayiing: "I would sell
my kingdom and acquire a small province in
France."
The position of ruler of the South Slavs is no
easy one. With the exception of the Serbians,
none of the miscellaneous strains that make up
this Balkan nation feel any attachment for his
dynasty. The people of Bosnia-Herzegovina,
who complained loud and long of Austrian
domination, are said to consider their new gov
ernment in no way superior to that of the Haps
burgs, and compare clumsy, sprawling Belgrade
unfavorably with their local capitals. The
Montenegrins, the Dalmatians, the Croats and
the Slovenes form other elements in the popula
tion. However, there are ties of blood, language,
geographical necessity and common interest In
a loose federation this nation of 14,000,000 people
might very well become important and prosper
ous. Under such a policy Bulgaria would most
certainly join the Jugo-Slav federation, giving it a
coast-to-coast control of the Balkan peninsula. As
a Serbian, King Alexander will be under pres
sure of his own people to erect a unified admin
istration under Serbian central control, sup
pressing the particularism of the other elements
as was done under Austrian rule. Truly, here
is a monarch who faces a tremendous task. Why
does any one wish to be a king?
' "Quick, Watson, the Needle."
"How many senators know," Senator Wat
son had asked, "that a private soldier was fre
quently shot by his officers because of some
complaint made against officers' insolence; and
that they had gallows upon which men
were hanged, day after day, without court
martial or any other form of trial? I had and
have the photograph of one of those gallows,
upon which twenty-one white boys had already
been executed at sunrise when the photograph
was taken; and there were others waiting in
the camp jails to be hanged morning after
morning."
Thus does Senator "Tom" Watson of Geor
gia startle the nation, and the world once more..
Perhaps he has opened the way to a great dis
covery. It is barely possible that a conspiracy
of silence has held'.back this important feature
of the war, and that officers and men, corre
spondents, nurses doctors, Y. i. C. A Y. W.
C. A., Y. M. H. A. and K. C. workers, minis
ters, observers, visitors, congressmen and others,
have united in keeping back the information the
irrepressible is now ready and willing to give to
the world. Of course, it was a common thing
for an officer to shoot down a private because
of insolence or some kindred offense. That wa
the best thing the officers of the A. E. F. ;did;
Senator Watson is not the only one who tells
us that. If you want proof, look at Kansas Cityr
where the late soldiers of the army that marched
under. Pershing and Foch are wrangling over the
injustices, and oppressions they had to endure
while in uniform. "Now it can be told," and
when ."Tom" Watson gets through his exposi
tion of the ruthless methods of the officers of the
American army in disposing1 of the soldiers who
were unfortunate enough to come under their
command, perhaps he will disclose how the spirit
of brutality was fostered by some foreign gov
ernment. However, we trust the senate will ac
cede to his wishes and give the charges a thor
ough probing.
Outlook for Peace in Ireland.
A fairly definite expression of English opin
ion may be noted in the vote in Commons on
the proposal to break off negotiations between
the cabinet and Sinn Fein. It may be interpreted
only to mean that the people are unwilling to
renew the disorder that was suspended by the
truce: No matter what the opinion of the "man
on the street" may be as to the general topic of
separation, it is clear that the English have had
their fill of bloodshed, and that an appeal to the
country on the issue of force against Ireland at
this time would be fatal to those proposing it. A
fair presumption that a similar sentiment pre
vails in Ireland gives the politicians a .pretty
fair beacon to steer by, and we may take it for
granted that the consultations will be continued
until the settlement is reached or the last ex
pedient has been exhausted before there is a re
newal of the guerrilla warfare that caused so
much of loss and sorrow in Ireland. No insur
mountable issue is yet presented, nor is it likely
that such adroit negotiators as Lloyd George and
De Valera will permit the conference to reach
an impasse while there is hope of continuing the
exchange of views. As days proceed passions
will cool, and this increases the probability of
such arrangement as will give to both sides a sat
isfactory adjustment Such a settlement can not
have a foundation of force on the one hand or
hatred on the other. It must be one supported
by a mutual understanding and equally mutual
reprd and respect of the people. English and
Irish, Protestant and Catholic, they will live and
can live in harmony as well as discord, and the
day when that will be the case seems not very
far ahead.

The little care that fretted me,

people it is unbearable except wnen

thus lessen such chance oi cure as
there may be.

The Standard of Life
(From tba Boton Traiucrlpt.)
Evidently the president is as much
Imbued with the spirit of Puritan
ism as is Vice President Coolidge,
and that is saying much. So at least
one passage in his recent address
at the William and Mary college
would Imply. Mr. Harding said: "I
doubt if there is as much plain- liv
ing and high thinking in academic
shades as there was once, or might
well be now. ... Much of the
unrest of the world today is charge
able to our living too rapidly and
too extravagantly, and colleges have
seen tne renex oi it." .
This is a phase of "back toi nor
malcy" which cannot too often be
emphasized In our day. It is not
so many years ago since one heard,
a good deal about the "simple life."
But who hear about it today
and how many lead it by choice?
Inasmuch as plain living and hign
thinking are apt to go together,
when plain living is voluntary, one
supposes that the college, even in
these degenerate (7) flays, is some
what freer from the vices of high
living than is the rest of our com
muninty. But be that as it may, it
is upon' the prevalence of falso
standards among the great majority,
and not within some minority, that
the natural force of Mr. Harding's
criticism should bear. A few may
adopt materialistic standards, and
wciety can outuve them, nut ir
the great mass of the people become
materialized, moral and social re
covery is uphill work.
To refer again to the Puritan, the
beauty and strength of his way of
living is explained by the simple
fact that he did not worship the
visible and tangible, but emphasized
the unseen things of life. His was
a standard of life, rather than, the
now much vaunted "standard of liv
ing." He was not childishly depend
ent on amusements for the pursuit
of happiness, for he found Joy with-'
in himself. With all his solemnity
and sternness, it cannot be doubted
that the average Puritan lived on a
much higher plane than the aver
age American does today. He did
not live fast, for he felt he had all
eternity to live in; and he did not
live lavishly, first, because often he
could not do so, and, second, be
cause he scorned to do so. Self-indulgence
seemed to him a monstros
ity. Plain living and high thinking
seemed but a matter of course.
But we do not have to go back
to colonial days in find American
examples of right living. The great
Lincoln, to years ago, or the Bur
roughs of but yestereday all along,
and in spite of the abnormal social
effects which scientific, business and
mechanical progress has produced
on our rank and file, through the
emphasis of one-sided ideals of civ
ilization, there have been countless
exemplars of high and simple life,
some of them famous and far more
of them obscure. It is true that the
pioneer stages of national life do
foster virtue and social sanity. It
la true that national wealth and ease
are 'only too apt to entail national
deterioration. But it devolves upon
modern America to give the lie to
that historic tendency of peoples to
degenerate through material pros
perity that we revert to more primi
tive conditions, were that voluntarily
possible, and begin all over again on
the hard plane our fathers ennobled.
But as it is, we must go on. dan
gerous as is our path; and the great
er the social danger, the greater tho
triumph over it, if we win out. And

Whatever Is, Is Wrong
(From the Philadelphia Record.)
We learn from an eminent edu
cator that .'free thought may be
strangled in its cradle if the schools
go on teaching that whatever is is
right "Cut and dried opinions on
practical matters are almost sure
to. be wrong." We are warned that
"we ne'ed now progressive leadership
of the most liberal kind to save the
world from revolution. It can
come only from the younger gen
eration now in school and college."
We had imagined that free
thought was long since out of the
cradle, and that it was making quite
as much noise and knocking over
quite as much or the furniture as
was necessary to avert stagnation.
Perhaps it is in its cradle and in
danger of strangulation, but it is
hard to believe this. What differ
ence there is between "progressive
leadership of the most liberal kind"
and revolution we do not know; they
are so nearly identical that we
might as well be damned by revo
lution as saved by "progressive lead
ership of. the most liberal kind."
But there is no doubt that if wo
need progressive leadership of the
most liberal kind we can only get It
from "the younger generation now
in school and college." They are
not hampered by any experience.
They are not fettered by any knowl
edge of history. Their opinions have
no historic background.
But if we are to sit at the feet
of infants, what is the use of teach
ing them anything? It is for them
to teacn us, ir we need tneir leader
ship. Let us Invert our colleges, and
instead of sending our young to be
taught, wait till the adults are 60
or 60 and then send them to col
leges to be taught by the rising gen
eration, which rises because it has
no ballast, and in which new
thought and progressive schemes
may always be found.
"Cut and dried opinions on prac
tical matters are almost sure to be
wrong." In other words, experience

But then there is a practical diffi

to select the fresh and unbiased In

the schools are to teach wnat most
of the community believes, it is com
paratively easy to know what is to
be taught. But if what most of the
community believes is almost cer
tainly wrong, how are we to pick
out tho teachers? What are the
qualifications for an instructorship?
Are we to fill the professorships with
those who can shout the loudest that
whatever is is wrong, and who are
the most violent in supporting the
things that have failed and the most
ingenious in Inventing new fashions
in thought and practice?
Are we to learn the road to prog

Aa heretofore polntad out, the
war finance corporation does not
loan directly to farmers or stork
raisers. It loans only In case the
noiaa of these borrowers bear the
endorsement of a bank, trust com
pany or other Incorporated finan
cial Institution with adequate re
sources, or that of a co-operative
organisation of producers.
In come esses the banks of the
community are not able to endorse
these notes because of legal limita
tions upon the amount of such busi
ness that they can handle. To meet
thla situation, there are being or
ganised In various counties cattle
companies. These eompanlea handle
the rediscounts In cases where the
banks are unable to do so.
In such a catc the cattle loan com
pany takes out a corporate charter,
specifying- the amount of its paid in
capital. The war finance corporation
will then recognize its endorsement
on farmers' or itock-raisers' notes to
an amount equal to eight or ten times
Its capital. For Instance, such a
company, capitalised at $100,000.
might endorse up to from 1800,000
to $1,000,000 of farmers' notes.
A limitation la that no one ahall
organise auch a company for his
own benefit The controlling Inter
est In the corporation cannot borrow
through It
Such a company has been or
ganized by bankers of Greeley county
and a very large concern has been
organised by the bankers of Wyom
ing. These bankers subscribed 6
per cent of their capital and surplus
to the stock of the cattle loan com
pany. This raised a capital of
$300,000, which permits the endorse
ment of notes to an aggregate of
