Gelling It Done Is the Job.
It is one thing to object; it i quite another
to achieve.
This truism was never more evident than in
current discussion of the proposed soldier bonus
legislation. Opposition to the bonus has disap-
t peared for the most part, but opposition to every
; suggested means of raising funds with which to
pay it persists, particularly on the part of demo
cratic spokesmen and newspapers who are seek
ing partisan advantage.
When Secretary of the Treasury Mellon sug
gested a series of direct taxes, the democratic
broadside condemned the plan; the democrats
favored a bond issue. When republican con-
' gressmen showed increasing favor for a bond
issue, democratic spokesmen changed front and
denounced that as poor finance. And when Prcs-
ident Harding suggested a sales tax, the denio-
tratic spell-binders were in a veritable hysteria
of Opposition.
Opposing every plan for paying the bonus
does not win the bonus for deserving ex-sol-
diers. It defeats it. If there is to be a bonus, it
must be paid for. Voting the bonus is easy;
raising the funds to pay it is the real task. As
usual, the democratic party is for that which is
easy and offers no help in solving the real prob
lem. President Harding's sales tax certainly is
not popular, but he is entitled to credit for offer
ing an affirmative suggestion. There are draw
backs to other plans so far outlined, but the men
who proposed them have" done more for the
bonus than those who have shouted acclaim for
the theory and thrown brickbats at every prac
tical proposal for putting it in effect.
The real opponents of the bonus are those
who oppose every practicable means of putting
it into effect.
Keep the Record Straight. .
Senator Hitchcock's newspaper, assailing .the
republican national administration for alleged
extravagance, says:
Yet this same congress is also prepared to
' enact a law for the construction of the pro
posed Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater
canal at a cost to the United States of more
than $.'50,000,000.
A reader unfamiliar with democratic cam
paign practice might assume this to be a state
ment of fact. It is not. It is an untruth.
The total cost of the project will be ap
proximately $250,000,000, of which Canada is to'
pay a large proportion, possibly one-half. Not
even the share left to the United States will be
a burden upon national finance, to be met by
taxation; the incidental water power developed
in connection with the waterway will not only
pay operating expenses, but. Will amortize the
original investment. The great saving in freight
charges to the producing farmers of the west
will be "velvet." , ".
When Senator Hitchcock's newspaper assails
the St. Lawrence waterways project, it raises
an issue of prime importance to Nebraska. Pro
ducers of Nebraska, as well as of other states,
suffer under a tremendous burden of high
transportation costs. The St. Lawrence water
way is the one outstanding relief that is in sight.
. On that basis it has been endorsed by two Ne
braska legislatures, by almost every state agri
cultural organization, by state manufacturing as
sociations and by various Nebraska chambers
of commerce, including that of Omaha. Among
notable national endorsements js that, of the
recent national farm conference.
This is the movement for support of which
Senator Hitchcock reproaches the republican ad
ministration. It is a responsibility which the
republicans can well afford to take, with con
fidence that the people will not look upon it as
a subject for reproach, but as something quite
to the contrary.
Further Evidence of Recovery.
Nebraska is on the way back and coming fast.
This has been said by The Bee many times lately,
and is reiterated because it is the best news we
know to publish. The" Greer tour of inquiry
throughout the state was the means of develop
ing first hand information as to the rapidly
changing conditions, denoting not only high
grade optimism but the best of reasons for the
same. Omaha has been the center of a number
of gatherings of business men of the state and
adjoining territory within the last few days, or
since the Greer letters were published. These
conferences have alt developed facts in support
of the assertion that business is improving. Local
retailers have noticed more buyers from out in
the state within the last fortnight than at any
time for weeks before. The president of the
bankers' association returns from a trip to Wash
ington and other eastern cities, and brings not
only encouraging.word of improving conditions
there, but a report that the watchers are greatly
encouraged by what is going on ,in Nebraska.
Folks are keeping track of what the fanner is
coin thee days, andfjtbat is why the Nebraska
example look to good nd it getting to much
attention, A new sfiiou it at hand. The Way

Chairman Hull's Outburst.
Judge Hull, chairmtu f the democratic ru
lioiul committee, opened the campaign in In

buncombt at ever was exhibited. An old-timer

eloquence be tufficiently sonorous, the jude it
splendidly equipped to carry on Just such a cam
paign at lie hat started, that of deception.
W'htn he declare! that "cattle were nncr
more deliberately led to the .laughter nor sheep
to the .tumbles than were the American people
led over the precipices to panic conditiont and
terrific business demoralijation by the national
republican leadership from 1918 to 1921 lie
reliet on the hope that the public hat forgotten
what really took place.
In 1918 the democrat were in full control of
the government in all branches. Judge Hull wat
& member of congress, highly placed on the
ways and means committee of the house. He
was therefore in a position of influence, and
might have done something to avert in itt in
cipirncy the calamity he now deplores. On the
contrary, the record will disclose that he faith
fully supported Claude Kitchen in his an
nounced determination to make the north pay
for the war; that he did not at any time under
take to check the orgy of spending that wat in
progress but aided in devising wayt and means
to furnish fundi for Newton D. Daker to tcatter
like chaff. The Judge also was a member of the
congress in which the republicans had control,
beginning with March 4, 1919, when over a bil
lion dollars were cut out of appropriation
measures passed by the house prior to that date,
tid for which Judge Hull voted. This may
have been merely a paper saving, but it surely
was appreciated by the American taxpayers.
If a panic ensued, it is traceable to the fact
that the democratic secretary of the treasury
would not consent in 1919 to the plan of the
Federal Reserve board for checking speculation.
but allowed the riot of extravagance to proceed
to the limit that forced liquidation and the con
sequent depression.
If trouble came to this country as a result
of inflation and the consequent necessity for1 de
flation, it is due to the unwisdom of the demo
cratic administration, of which Cordell W. Hull
of Tennessee, now national chairman of the
democratic rarty, was an influential member.
He does not show very good grace in seeking to
shift this responsibility onto the republicans,
who have sufficient of a load to carry because
of having to clean up the mess left by the Wil-
sonian group. j

Victory for the Great American Home.
Margot Asquith, who is on lecture tour in
America now, has just had an amusing brush
with the wife of a Pullman conductor, in which,
one must say, the wife ot the tormer isntisn
premier came off second best.
As evidence of the "splendid way in which
she had been treated by Americans, Mrs.
Asquith delightedly told her audience of a "train
guard" calling her "honey" and transferring her
to a drawing room without complaint. To keep
up her reputation for shocking the natives, she
boasted of having autographed her photograph,
and giving it to the courteous conductor. ;
That was all very well till the Pullman con
ductor arrived at his home in the Bronx. A re-1
porter, rushed out to query him then. j ,
"Yes. I remember Mrs. Asquith just an or
dinary middle aged woman she looked. Whatj
would I be calling a middle-aged woman 'honey'
for in front of her manager and her maid? It's
ridiculous."
Then the reporter asked to see the-photograph.
"Where is it, Hat?" the conductor-asked
his wife. ''';
"It's not here," she replied. "I wouldn't have
it in" the house." ,
"Well, that's all right," cried the dutiful hus
band. "Doesn't matter where it is. I've, carried
famous people before." :
Once more has the integrity of the great
American home been maintained in face "of the dc-j
termined effort of alien hands to tear, it dbwn.j
Mrs. Asquith, with her impish delight in Scandal
izing what she regard as stodgy respectability
has been vanquished. YBut no one"! who has read
her memoirs or has the faintest inkling of her'
remarkable character will imagine that she got
anything but the keenest joy out of this rebuff.
Iowa's New United States Senator.
Governor Kendall of Iowa "upset the dope"
when he announced the. appointment of Charles
A. Rawson of Des Moines to be senator of the
United States ad interim, succeeding William S.'
Kenyon, who retires from the senate to accept.;
a place on the federal circuit bench. Political1
prophets had narrowed the field down to three,
neither of whom was Rawson, and a few looked
upon the selection of L. J. Dickinson, representa
tive from the Tntlvdistricf in congress, as cer-;
tain to succeed to the Vacancy :n the seriate. Gov
ernor Kendall undoubtedly acted advisedly,- and
with an eye to the service of the, country as well
as of his state., The new senator is well known
throughout Iowa as a successful business man,
for his service overseas with Y. M. C. A. work
during the war, and as the chairman of the state
republican committee during several heated cam
paigns. His knowledge of conditions in tiis own(
state and throughout the middle western region'
will undoubtedly incline him to the "farm-bloc"
attitude, while his record in politics and busi-i
ness will make him a useful supporter of the,
general policies of the president. Iowa's coming)
primary election promises to be interesting, ,be-l
cause vof the promised presence of at least three,
candidates for the unfinished term as senator,
which expires in 1925, the, voters being given the
responsibility of making choice the governor
felt" unwilling to decide.
Newspapers and Progress.
"There were .giants "in those days." Particu
larly is. this heard of old-time journalism. But
now Lee A. White of the Detroit News has slain
this Goliath myth with a pebble of truth.
Look back over the files of the old papers
that you boast about, Mr. White advises, and
compare them with the newspapers of the pres
ent. Anyone with half an eye would under the
circumstances be forced to admit that today's
newspaper is not only broader and fairer in its
treatment of the news but cleaner as vein
There is no newspaper now alive that is not
a better paper than it was 10, 20 or 50 years
ago. Progress has been necessary, and those
papers that did not advance with their times are

Dr. Mayo says that cancer of the
stomach forms nearly one-third of
all cancers of the human body. It
presents very great difficulty of early
diagnosis as such, so that thus fur
it Is agreed that fully 50 per cent
Of the cases are fully diagnosed only
when it is already too lata to expect
any benefit from a surgical opera
tion. How very Important it is,
therefore, to recognize and thor
oughly treat the antecedents of this
insidious affection. The early symp
toms are commonly pain and dis
comfort, often after eating, loss of
apeptite, vomiting, loss of weight
and general weakness. Hut some
cases give practically no symptoms
until the disease is far advanced. In
other instances, and most frequently,
here is a long history of obstinate
dyspepsia and constipation. In oth
ers a sudden attack from Indiscre

was an ulcer preceding an already

Mrs. A. B. T. writes: "1. I am a
woman 38 years of age, in good
health, and above the average in
size 5 feet 9 inches recently mar
ried. Have been wondering if it
would be safe at my age to become
'pregnant.
z. Have my oones oecome so set
that it would be dangerous to my
life to have children at my age?
"3. If not, would the child be as
strong, healthy and normal as a
child born to a mother 10 years
younger than I?"
REPLY.
1. Reasonably so.
2. Not specially.
3. Yes.
The danger to you and your baby
would be slightly greater than if
you were 15 years younger, but the
difference is slight enough to be eas
ily offset by the gain for both of
you from above the average care.
