Mr. Harding and the Congress.
The house having adopted the senate's figure
for surtax onarge incomes, the probabilities are
thAt it will go to the president at the point stt. A
pretty little exhibition of the difference between
a republican and a democratic congress is here
afforded. When Woodrow Vllson sat in the
executive chair, he was in the habit of signifying
to congress what he wanted, and congress got
busy at once and gave it to him. Measures were
prepared at the White House, sent over to the
Capitol and promptly enacted into law. Any
democrat who dared to -differ in opinion with the
president was condignly punished for his pre
sumption. Mr. Harding has been much criticized in va
rious quarters for his participation in legislative
matters. Some of this comment has arisen
through a high conception of the relations be
tween the executive and the legislative branches
of the1 government, but most of it comes from a
purely partisan source. We believe the president
is thoroughly within his rights when he. under
take! constructively to help shape legislation.
He is the final judge of its usefulness and worth,
and must in the faithful discharge of his duty ad
vise when he thinks a measure may be strength
ened or improved. He goes too far, however,
when he threatens a measure In advance with a
veto, as has been done 'several times in history.
Mr. Harding's letter to Mr. Fordney reflects
a strong sentiment, supported by reason. That a
sufficient number' of republicans united with the
democrats to adopt a provision different from
that proposed by the president" need not presage
a schism in the party. On the contrary, it is an
indication of greater party strength and power.
Members of congress are responsible, even as Is
the executive, and should at all times exercise
their judgment. The revenue measure is not a
partisan act, although the minority party in tht
congress has made all its battle on strictly par
tisan grounds. Republican members have strong
views of their ovyn, and those from the middle
west just now are of the opinion that the reduc
tion in surtax on large incomes from 65 to SO per
cent is a sufficient concession. The house origin
ally put it at 32 per cent, the senate amended the
bill to make it SO; the president suggested 40 as
a compromise, but the house agrees with the
senate.
' We believe that even Mr. Harding will relish
the presence of a congress that holds opinions of
its own. He will be no worse off than severaf of
his recent predecessors. With the exception of
Woodrow Wilson, who earned the sobriquet of
"schoolmaster" at the very start, the presidents
have all had trouble with tjje legislators, and the
party and the country have survived.
Consumption Is No Sin.
The mere fact that a man has been elected
or appointed to office does not make him an ex
pert in problems of taxation. Postmaster Gen
eral Hays, in advocating a sales tax has not
made out a strong case by his'appeal for a sys
tem which, would penalize consumption and re
ward abstinence. The idea that the consumption
of goods is to be reprobated is an odd one, and
far out of sympathy with modern thought. The
prosperity of our nation depends quite as much
on consumption as on production. The two, as
a matter of fact, go hand in hand.
The argument that a sales tax would dis
courage consumption is fatal. What results fol
low abstinence or slackness of consumption has
been seen in the "buyers' strike" which occurred
last year. The object of life is not to deny one's
self the comforts or the ordinary luxuries. The
object of business is to increase consumption,
thus increasing employment and adding to the
general welfare in all ways. While it is well
enough to put some penalty in the form of a
luxury tax on extravagance, it is unthinkable
that an intelligent democracy should levy a toll
on its bread and butter, and every other neces
sity of life. , .
Family Ties Still Strong.
It is impossible to believe that home life is
dying and that the American home is disintegrat
ing. Some changes are apparent: children appear
to expect more of their parents and parents to
demand less of their children. The family has
gone on a co-operative basis instead of con
tinuing as a patriarchy or matriarchy. Mothers
today strive to be chums to their daughters, and
fathers ask only to be considered as brothers of
their boys. Homes may be found where the
children address the'r parents by their given
names, and yet with no disrespect. In fact it
represents a distinct improvement over the cus
tom of speaking of "the old man" and "the old
lady."
The iron discipline U disappearing. Increas
ing knowledge of the working of the human mind
kat taught that children can be more easily led
than, driven. There are not so many "don'U,"
but rather mors sulintions beginning with
"do," It Is a patent (Set that there is great
deal more wholesome comradeship in the average
American family now than ever before.
This Is the change that Is on tht wsy. It is
true that In msny instances the process has
stopped midway, with the father indifferent, the
mother abdicating her throne, and the children
left to find their recreation outside the home.
This, however, mutt be taken as a pasting plate.
The American home is sound. Critics may wail
and find many who agree with their superficial
considerations. But let any one rise condemn
the home as an institution, and the storm of de
nunciation, that rises against him will give all the
proof necessary of the virility of family life.
, A Fundamental Fact.
Until a bushel of corn can be shipped from
Nebraska to the seaboard for less than the price
of two bushels on the farm, we will hive np re
lief from existing conditions. Just now it costs
around 42 cents bushel to ship corn from an
interior Nebraska point to New York. On the
farm that corn can be bought for less than 20
cents a bushel.
These, facts are apparent to the Interstate
Commerce commission, to the railroad executives,
to everybody who gives the subject any atten
tion. No amount of palaver about long and JSjrt
hauls, distance from market, of other of the'fac
tors that are properly weighted in so-called
scientific rate-making, will remedy the situation.
What Is needed and what must be provided is
relief that will give the farmer a bettor price ior
what he has to sell, so that he will be able to
buy some of the things he needs. This is funda
mental and vital.
Thanksgiving and Armistice Day.
Thanksgiving day observance harks back to
the time of the Pilgrims, symbolizing at one and
try; same time the gathering of the harvest and
the respect in which the Puritan tradition is held.
It if true that the holiday is now made an oc
casion for foot ball games, feasting and family
reunions, but the tradition for all that has not
been lost. As nothing else could, this day intro
duces the school children to the beginnings of.
our national holiday.
In view of the distinctive characteristics of
Thanksgiving, the proposal to combine its cele
bration with that of Armistice day, on Novem
ber 1 1, should not be endorsed offhand. The
date of the last shot in the wOrld war is a memor
able one for, the whole world. It deserves
separate observance fully as much as does
Thanksgiving day. But each is different, the one
international, and the other' distinctively
American.
Some complain that America has now too
many days when business is set aside, and the
telescoping of these two holidays is proposed
mainly with a view to eliminating the necessity
for two days of freedom from toil in a single
month. If it is only to avoid adding another
holiday to the American calendar, something
might be said for combining Armistice day with
Memorial day. .
But there are not now too many festival days.
In the middle ages the people had many, more
than now, and in most of the older lands there
also are more than here. Labor saving devices,
the increase of efficiency and the nervous driving
of industry which requires some period of leisure,
all make it possible to give the veterans of the
world war a day of their own instead of sharing
it half and half with the colonists of the May
flower. J
Closing the Navy Yards. -
One of the immediate effects of the proposal
to limit naval strength is reflected inlhe situation
at the navy yards. If the Hughes plan is finally
adopted, and it undoubtedly will be in one or
another form, if not exactly as .reported, a great
many machines will be idle and many men will
be thrown out of work. Already this is taking
place in England, where the admiralty has de
cided to withhold any further operations on pro
jected capital ship construction, pending the ac
tion at Washington.' ,
Very recently General Dawes, director of the
budget, made a suggestion that seems feasible.
It is that the government may make for its own
use very many things that are now purchased
in open market. Through this means a double
economy will be effected; expenses will be re
duced, and employment will be furnished for men
who otherwise will be idle. The plan holds the
objection that the government in competition
with the taxpayers has an unfair advantage, and
that private enterprise should have the first con
sideration. If the government goes into the man
ufacturing game, it will displace that much of
employment for private-capital. This can just
now find engagement elsewhere, yet a time might
come when the situation would be embarrassing.
. Closing the navy yards will be a great step
towards the goal of disarmament, but carries
further complications for an already sadly dis
turbed society to deal with. The ship-building
industry has not yet recovered from the feverish
activity manifested while the war ws on, and
some years may yet elapse before all the vessels
then built are definitely located in commercial
service. However, some better use may be
found for the machinery than the making of
armor plate and cannon.
Just why former Empeor Charles should be
considered entitled to a yearly salary from all
the people he used to rule is not apparent to a
republican people, and it is scarcely to be believed
that the peasants of those freed Balkan lands
will grow very enthusiastic over the proposal.
A wholesome reminder to the world Is that
the untold millions of Asiatics some day may
develop their immense powers, and unless the
Occident treats them fairly now, it would stand
no chance of being treated fairly Itself In future
years.

AUTUMN SONG,
A frosty morn fills me with glee,
I'm always happy in the sutumu,
From summer lassitude I'm fret
And full of pep from top to bottom;
The air goes to my hud like win
And puts a kick Into my kicker,
The rare ozone nukes me feci fine,
(Just like a shot of good, old liquor.)
When Jack Frost paints the green leaves gold
A scene for which my soul docs hunger,
Then snappy days, or even cold,
Make me feel vigorous and younger;
My shoulders squared with new-born pride,
I ankle to my daily labor,
I am, the way I hit my stride,
A stranger to my next door neighbor.
The summer heat Just gets my goat
And spring diseases, too, I've had 'em,
I shed my collar, vest and coat.
And feel as old as Father Adam;
When Old Sol beats on Farnam street
Much like a flaming ball of fire,
I wobble on uncertain feet
And hate to work while I perspire.
But when the walks are white with frost,-
I cry to trouble then, "Beshrew it I"
Though autumn brings me extra cost
I feel that I am equal to it;
For autumn air is great, oh boyl
And say along about Thanksgiving,
"I scarcely can contain my joy
I am so thankful I am living.'

DIVERS PELLAGRA THEORIES
Several months ago the heajth
authorities of the suuth wore groatly
disturbed by a letter signed by Bur
jeon Central Cummin-, In which
he said that there already was a
marked Incroaao In pointers for 1 2 1
and predicting a further and an
alarming- Increaae In the dlaeaae
during- the later months of tha your.
This was followed by a atatement
from the president on the aame sub
ject and along the sums llnea.
The reported lneroooo Jn the
dlaeaae was found especially In the
cotton growing- states, and was
caused by the low protein diet, due
to the hard times occasioned by the
small cotton crop In 1S2Q and the
low price of the product.
The southern health officers de
nied the correctness of the state
ments. Fortunately, before time for
tho predictions to come true the
price o cotton Jumped and every
body In that section became opti
mistic. We await with Interest the offi
cial reports for 1921 to learn
whether the predictions became
true.
The basis of the prediction was
the opinion that pellagra is a defl
cloncy disease, resulting from the
prolonged use of diets containing
too little fretih meats, eggs, milk
and butter, and containing too much
corn bread, molasses and starchy
foods in general.
Of course, we get ' moat of our
energy from starchy foods, and we
should eat 10 times as much of It
as we do of meats and fats. Bread
is the staff of life, but we can have
too much of so essentlul a commod
ity as the start.
This theory, commonly known as
the Ooldberger theory, is opposed
by MacNeal and Jobllng and others.
They say the theory falls because
of n-uch facts as these:
Pellagra In Europe was not In
creased by the semi-starvation and
the largely bread and mush diets
of the war period.
The greater prevalence of the
disease is among whites, although
It Is the negro who lives largely on
bread and molasses, without milk
or milk products.
They claim it results from bad
sanitation. Ooldberger comes back
by showing the shortcomings of the
bad sanitation theory and by claim
ing that the only practioal way to
cure persons sick with pellagra Is
to five them a diet of good fresh
meat, butter, milk and eggs, and
thr.t the only practical way to pre
vent it is to Improve the diet of the
groups of people among whom it
develops.
Dr. V. C. Vauglian reviews the
evidence on both sides and cornea
to the conclusion that neither side
has proved Its case, but that there
ia need of improving both house
hold sanitation and the quality of
food on the family table.
Sullivan,, who investigated the
disease abroad, and did it in a very
avlrntiflo way, found much to sup

Let us hope that the disease In this

troubled with very acid urine and

to follow that would regulate thlsT"
REPLY.
Highly arid urine can be made
right by eating vegetables and fruit
and drinking water. The boat single
remedy Is old fashioned Murphies.
Frequent urination is a vymptoni
which may be due to a number of
causes. Neither symptom Indicates

C. H. writes: "I was Interested In
your article entitled Theories About
Eciema,' which appeared September
16, 1921. I am Si, and for a long
time wns troubled with itchins of
the back of the hands and arms,
sometimes of other parts of the
body. The Itching would occur at
night, as a rule, thus interfering
with sleep and causing scratching
resulting in raw spots. Practically
my whole working life (35 years)
has been spent in machine shops
and tool rooms where oil is always
used. Although I suspected the oil
or something in the oil wes respons
ible for the Itching, I was not posi
tive. During the year 1918 I was
doing work In which no oil was em
ployed. Shortly after I took that
position the itching ceased and my
skin became perfectly normal In ap
pearance. In 1919 and 1920 up to
last fall I again was employed on
work which lequired the use of oil
and benzine. It was but a short
time when the itching returned and
continued to annoy me until I quit
the job last November, and since
then I have been out. My skin again
gradually became normal, and at
present and for several months
past has been perfectly healthy.
After this experience it seems that
I am fully justified Jn concluding
lhat tho disease in my case was
caused by infection carried by the
oil or benzine or both coming in
contact with the skin."

Postoffice Out of
Politics
From tho New York KTtnlna Tott.
A postmaster, general who owed
his .appointment to the ability he
had displayed as chairman of his'
party's national committee is not ex
actly the person one would expect
to find defending the merits sys
tem. The postoffice has been the
citadel of patronage. -All the more
honor, therefore, to Will Kays, to
whom a special commission of the
National Reform Service league has
Just given its hearty endorsement.
Mr. Hays does not profess to have
completed the transformation of the
postoffice into a purely business in
stitution. But nothing short of that
is his goal. Proof of his sincerity
is shown In part in the way in which
he ia carrying out President Hard
ing's executive order. In more than
three-fourths of the appointments
he has made the position has gone
to the first man of the highest three
on the eligible list. In addition, he
is urging tho passage of a bill plac
ing the presidential ppstmasterships
permanently . in the , classified, ser
vice. No one man deserves all the credit
for taking the postoffice out of
politics. Every recent administra
tion has made an advance in this
direction, 'although almost every
one has also- undone part of the
work of the preceding administra
tion. The path towards a purely
business management has been zig
zag. Mr. Hays himself admits that
he cannot banish pressure from
congressmen at a stroke. Impatient
reformers will ask why not. Simply

that. It Is to be hoped, will imprpss
the American people and possibly
teach a valuable lesson.

Woman to Examine Women.
Omaha, Nov. 17. To the Editor
of The Bee: In all the talks on can-
cer during Cancer Week ana an tne
articles that I have read on the sub
ject there has been no mention made
of the main cause or aesui irom
cancer among women. The average
doctor does not seem to appreciate
a woman S sensioiuues or niouesiy
at all and a modest slrl or woman
would rather die from cancer than
go to a man doctor for an examina
tion. Every doctor ought to know
this. If he does not. ana u tney
really want to do the greatest thing
to cause a decrease in cancer let
them establish in every hospital at
least one competent woman doctor to
examine girls and women, ana let it
be known that when a woman sus
pects sho may have a cancer she can
go to tho hospital or to the free dis
pensary and have a woman examine
ner.
I suggest that the University of
Nebraska hospital be the first to
have a competent woman for this
puriH'Se and to let It be known pub.
Inly lliioush the papers that any
girt or unman who wants an os'im
liiation can have such made by a
woman docior. 1 have often nvn
derud why there are not mora good
women doctors. Women claim thoy
are nicn'a equals In everything) but
how many ijood women donors are
llieref It ius to ma there Is mi
belt-ir opt-nlitg today for a woman
than to lit'coiiib a dnrtor. Besides
the money she could make alio
would be doing the greatest good
Itist a woman inn tic, In this world.
For the sake of humanity, won't you
give this thought publicity?
