Medals and Soldiers and Bonuses.
One of the "super-heroes" of the rfcent war
was searched out at West Ilobokeu, N. J., the
other day and given one more medal to add to
his already generous collection. His name is
Frank J. Bart He enlisted when 42 years old.
As a result of heroic service he possesses three
croix de guerre, with silver star, bronze star and
with palm, awarded by the French government,
the French mcdaille militaire, the Montenegrin
war cross, the Italian croce di guerre and the
American congressional medal of honor.
As for the rest, let the news dispatch tell the
slory:
Bart lifts his customary veil of modesty
long enough to remark that he's glad to have
a job "after fifteen months of pounding the
pavements looking for one and never finding
it." He began work today as "utility man" in
the office of the county clerk here.
In this one paragraph, telling of the ex
perience of one individual, is explanation for
other things of tremendous importance to the
country. There is little doubt but that the in
sistent demand for a soldier bonus, which con
stitutes the nation's great political and economic
.problem today, results largely from just this
thing the failure of many, soldiers to find means
of livelihood once the war is over and they must
make a living by arts of peace. In the im
mediate aftermath of war, the returning soldiers
did not want a bonus. But as months went by
and they saw their disabled comrades improperly
cared for, in their opinion, and as they faced
and in many cases were overcome by the dread
enemy, Unemployment, the demand for a bonus
grew. With it there developed, too, a host of
questions relating to the merit of the cause for
which these men fought and the merit of the
government which they served, questions raised
so frequently that their recurrence is disturbing
to those who realize the need of patriotism not
forced but induced by spontaneous admiration,
and devotion to the country. Medals mean little
to a man who feels need of bread, housing or
medical care,
After all, man is a creature of emotion and
of changing emotions at that. That explains
much that is going on today. At the same time
. it is the hope of the future. As these inequali
ties and abuses are wiped out as they must be
the ex-soldier' may be expected to- forget his
grievances as he has today forgotten something
of the glory of his service.
Yap and the World's Peace.
Votes taken in the senate on Tuesday indi
cate that the treaties that were formulated by
the arms conference all will be ratified by the
senate. Proceedings also indicate that the demo
crats and the irreconcilable senators propose to
exhaust their privileges in offering reservations
and making speeches denouncing the treaties.
Ordinarily, this would be harmless, for the par
tisan fancies of political opponents are usually
so regarded. Some danger exists in the present
instance, because it is an exhibition of levity that
does not promise well for American prestige.
Setting up captious and contentious claims, how
ever vague and hazy they may be, and pretend
ing to support them as resting on the new-found
world leadership of the United States, is not cal
culated to increase respect for that leadership.
The United States may assume and exercise the
functions of leadership to the benefit of all the
world, and it may take the place of "splendid
isolation" to which Messrs. Johnson, Borah and
Reed seek to assign it, and become a spectator
as the rest of the nations carry on without us.
Happily, the senate appears to be in good tem
per, permitting the onslaughts to pass without
offering retort, and voting down amendments
when offered. If this spirit continues, the world
will get notice that American statesmanship does
not consist in idle displays of partisan politics,
but has a real constructive purpose back of it,
and that Americans sincerely wish to help the
rest of the world to get back to steady footing.
Cruelty to Pocketbooks.
Simultaneously with the haling into court of
a group of accused of get-rich-quick financing the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce has formed a
committee to protect the public from promotion
swindles. It is time legitimate business men set
about protecting their customers from fake con
cerns. A financial paper estimates that $2,000,
000,000 of hard earned money was squandered
innually for worthless and fraudulent stocks
during the three years of inflation. Decent busi
ness was menaced by- this drain in time the
crooks would have had most of the money.
Exposure has followed exposure and yet how
short is human memory, that after the hard ex
perience of past speculations people should still
' be willing to seek a short cut to wealth. "There
is a lull right now in the stock selling line," says
"Financial Facts," "but have no fear, your friend,
etock promoter will be back, bigger than
I
tver, and the public,' money will flaw lit ay
main, the unte it hi dour, off and en, at

In Fairness to the. School.
liinnloyiiig the eot of the city choo' a an
argument to aunport plea for lower taxr it
ncarrrly fair, unlen the clement of the problem
ire clearly et out. It ii true that the e.nrn
oi maintaining the Onulu kihoolt lut inereae
over the prewar cost, and that taxet collected
for irhool purpor have mounted from IJ9J,
75J.31 in 1917 to $.'.27.,300.H7 for Vi2, an in.
create of ?878,336.5'', or little more than (J per
cent.
Thi only tell part of the tory. Everything
that enter into the cot of carrying on the
school has equally advanced, the principal item
bring teacher' pay and the cost of maintenance.
Not only that, but a large number of school
room have been added, to care for the children
coming in, and for whom provUion tmift be
nude. Thi item will grow ai long ai Omaha
grown, for each year brings on it new crop of
babies who have come up to ichool age and are
demandingaacromruodation.
Economy in public school operation may be
achieved by reducing the pay of teachers, by
lowering the cost of fuel, cutting janitors' wages,
buying hook and other needed supplies cheaper,
i educing interest rate on borrowed money.
Which of these expedients will be recommended
to the school board? Omaha's schools have al
ways been maintained at a high standard, and
the citizens will not now cheerfully assent to
their efficiency being lowered.
In passing, two other points should be noted.
It is misleading to compare the present situation
with that of 1914, because then South Omaha,
Dundee, Denson and Florence were outside of
Omaha proper. Each of these brought in its
funded debt, as welt as its physical property and
its quota of children. Some of the taxes now
collected go to take care of the interest on the
bonds issued by the suburban school boards
prior to annexation. Then, in 1916 the sum of
$326,000 was received from retail liquor licenses.
Continue this to 1921, and we have $1,630,000,
compensated for by taxes raised in the five years
since prohibition took effect, to replace the
license money. Subtract $114,669 paid for the
part of the year of 1917, and the remainder,
$1,515,331, is less than enough to care for the
accumulated deficit of $1,802,825.25, which stood
against the school district bn July 1, 1921. So,
with liquor licenses paid, the rate of taxation
would have had to be the same, if the school dis
trict were kept on a cash basis.
School expenses have increased, because the
schools have grown in number and size; because
there are more children to teach, and because
teachers are paid better wages, because janitors
get more pay, because fuel is higher, and be
cause the school district is compelled to pay Syi
per cent on money it once could get at 4 per
cent.
Between Sport and Hoodlumism.
Omaha has just had another manifestation of
a law of biogenesis. The high school boys who
staged a riotous demonstration on the streets
Tuesday evening, fighting, throwing bricks and
smashing show windows, were repeating the life
of, say, 500 centuries ago. However, for the
good of their souls and the safety of others, they
ought to be given a lesson in the discipline that'
lias replaced the unrestrained exercise of the
primitive emotions. First of all, they should be
made to know that one of the dearest of human
rights is the right(to own property, and that the
possessions of another are to be respected ac
cordingly. After this is indellibly impressed oft
their minds, they should be given a lesson in
sportsmanship. Games are played, not to win,
but to develop qualities sadly lacking in the un
ruly youths who vented their chagrin at defeat
in conduct that might be expected from savages,
but which is unseemly in civilized communities.
The man who can not sustain a reverse with
strength and dignity does not' deserve to win.
This does not mean to.be a "good loser," but it
does mean that defeat is only disgraceful when
accompanied by petulance and anger. School
spirit is commendable, and deserves to be en
couraged, but it should not be made a warrant
for hoodlumism.
- In New York City one out of every 19 phy
sicians is a woman and there is a woman lawyer
to every 44. There are 700,000 women gainfully
employed there, and the only decrease from one
census to the other . was in the number of
waitresses and household servants. Can it be
with the improvement of mechanical appliances
domestic work is being done with less outside
aid?
The National Security league has emerged
from the tomb long enough to urge that school
children be made to study the federal constitu
tion; the trouble with such a law as this is that
it might make this national ark extremely un
popular with the boys and girls. After all, it is
not so much a matter of what is in the constitu
tion as the application of it that affects our lives.
Now Jeanette Rankin's brother has filed for
the United States senate, and no doubt the for
mer congresswoman will do as much to get him
the republican nomination as her brother did to
make her a national figure. '
The supreme court has also put the "suffs"
out in' the clear, which will about establish the
validity of the nineteenth amendment. It is the
eighteenth, however, that is causing most com
plaint, i
A third hat-has appeared in the ring, denoting
a desire on part of another republican to serve
as governor. Evidently the new party has not
frightened anybody. -
It seems particularly fitting that the farmers
around Friend, Neb., should be contributing
corn to the Armenian relief. -
A new head of the Postoffice department will
soon be due, but that fact has not disturbed the
mails.
Thirty tons of dynamite gave Chicago a jar,
but not enough to set up reformation.
Omaha can spare a "Raffles" or two better
than a policeman.

Some Naval Power Still
Secretary Denby's protest against a sharp re
duction of the personnel of the navy should be
enlightening to those people who seem to think
that the naval limitation treaty left us with noth
ing but a phantom fleet.
As a matter of tact we have now the most
powerful fleet ever assembled tinder the Ameri
can flag. Some of the ships planned and. partly
constructed are not to be completed and some
old ships are to be scrapped. But a few capital
ships and airplane carriers are to be added, ana
no limitation has been put on the construction
of auxiliaries. The navy will not be materially
increased during the next fifteen years. Yet it
must be preserved and kept in service if it is to
be worth much at the end of that period.
The navy js under-manned now, rather than
over-manned. The enlisted force was cut last
year from 170,000 men to 106,000. More than 200
destroyers are laid up. lo reduce the enlisted
strength to 50,000, as some congressmen suggest,
would anean a waiving on our part of the stand
ard fixed by the Washington conference for the
three major navies those of ureat iSntain, the
United States and Japan. .
Mr. Denbv is wilhne to have the enlisted
force cut to 90,000 seamen and 6,000 apprentices.
He favors a reduction of the corps of midship
men, allowing each memDer or congress oniy
three appointments to Annapolis instead of five.
There will be a "hump" in the officers' corps for
some time to come. But that will be alleviated
by resignations as well as retirements. ' There is
no good reason tor a lorcca reduction oi ine
corps.
The navy will remain a going concern and, as
before, the first line of national defense. Large
economies will result from the cessation of capi
tal ship construction, and these are welcome. But
the United State is still in the front rank as a
naval power. For the first time its fleet stands
on an equality with Great Britain's. Having
built our magnificent fleet and paid for it, it
would be a false economy not to maintain its
efficiency. New ork Tribune.
Benefit Nerves Indeed!
E. Jr. D. writes: "Will taking:
triple bromide tablets three or four
times daily benefit the nerves, or will
it form a drug habit that is. is tt
a drug?"
REPLY.
Bromide Is a drug-.
Those who acoulre the bromide
habit do not have the same
kind of craving that the morphine
users have. Nor do they have the
same difficulty In leaving it off. Bro
mide addiction is not a disease In
the same sense that morphine addic
tion is. lliere are people who take
bromide somewhat habitually, and
apparently are not particularly
harmed thereby. I had a story last
September about certain uses of bro
mide that produce harm. "Benefiting
the nerves" is a very loose term. As
a rule people with "nerves" need
training and not drugs.

Veteran Replies to M. M. B.
Kearnev. Neb.. Feb. 26. To the
mm. r Th Hop: Af. M. B. says
thnt It Is refreshing to find one man
not afraid to ralo hi voice in pro
test regarding the soldier bonne.
M. M. B. can say that through Tne

glonaires. D. A. V. or V. i. w. and
express those opinion, even rigut

It's a safe bet that he wasn't. Very

was making a stakn while we were
making it possible for rum.
When the war waa over i worn.
K;rif tn niv nld lob: a girl was doing
the work I was doing when the war
broke out. It Is needless to say
that there was no job there for me.
t ii.i, Vinme. The only work I
could And was farm work and I was
disabled to the extent that I couia
do no hard work. I was out of work
about three-fourth of the time
from the time I was discharged un
til, through the aid of influentla
friends. 1 was placed in vocational
training.
I out In about three years ana iour
months in France, the biggest por
tinr, nr whirh time I was in action.
We were detailed for cannon fodder
at a monthly wage oi iii. wnue m.
M. B. and others like him sat back
here and held the soft Jobs and re-
reived from $6 to $8 per day, ate
three squares a day and dodged no
bullets. Is it not fair that we should
receive some per cent ot that easy
money that we made possible?
When I applied for a Job after
the war I discovered that, in order
for me to be sure of getting that jot)
it was best for me not to menuon
that I was an ex-soldier. In calling
M. M. B. a liar I will state that not

the men who left them and went to

An Unspoken
But Powerful Tradition
A tradition of service has come
down to the Corn Exchange Na
tional Bank from its merchant founders
which might be summed up in the re
cent remark of a well-known banker.
"We want to sit at the same
table with our customers. "
In other words, it is our aim to
give the same thought and interest
and courtesy to our customers' affairs
that our officers and directors and em
ployes wish to receive in their own.
And the fact that most of our
