Our Own United States.
One of the Hock arguments against the
pending tariff bill that the United State,
icedi a wider market. Equally trite is the
favorite argument of the League of Nations ad
vocates that we should be concerned in world
affairs. Such as profess to regret the absence
of the I'nited States from Genoa insist that we
are forfeiting right to share in the recon
struction of Kussia.
When Russia gets ready to come back, its
chief need will be capital. I.cnin, Tchitchcrin,
nnd others have told the world Russia will have
naught to do with capital as the term is com
monly understood. However, they will not be
f.ble to restore Russian industry and commerce
to healthy activity, unless they do employ capi
tal, no matter how they disguise the truth. In
order to get the capital needed, they must af
ford it profitable employment. Many other
regions are also seeking capital for development
purposes, and Russia under its present control
is not so attractive as to lead to the abandon
ment of others.
The United States is taking its full share in
the work of the world, without, however, aban
doning its independence of policy and action.
The result of the Washington conference is the
best possible proof of this.
No limitation is placed on the market for
American goods by the pending tariff. On the
contrary, it will preserve the greatest market
in the world for home-made goods. Free trade
will only open the door to foreign-made goods,
and either close the home factories or reduce
them to the level of European conditions.
Employment for capital never was so plenty
in America as at this time. It is closely esti
mated that since 1917, $31,000,000,000 have been
invested in tax-free securities in the United
States. Eighteen billions was in federal issues,
leaving $13,000,000,000 for private employment.
As much other capital has been drawn into
enterprises, old and new, or something like
$26,000,000,000 in the last five years, or more
than $5,000,000,000 a year, going into home un
dertakings. And this without satisfying the re
quest. Local concerns today are seeking new
capital, offering shares at attractive prices; rail
roads are after billions, and opportunity is open
on every hand.
For the last 30 years or longer the average
annual increase in population in the United
States has been around l,400,000kor a city equal
to St. Louis and Boston combined. Between
1910 and 1920 the population increased by al
most 15,000,000 or the equivalent of Bohemia,
Holland and Ireland combined. This steady
growth demands the investment of many millions
of dollars in productive undertakings, for the
wants of these newcomers must be satisfied. A
little study will show that the possibilities of the
United States are not exhausted, nor likely to
be soon, and that a little attention to home af
fairs is not selfishness, but common sense.
Bitulithic Paving.
If bitulithic pavement has as great endurance
as its promoters, it is a good pavement. But
has it? That is the question which causes
' Douglas county taxpayers to stir themselves
whenever the county commissioners undertake
as they do at periodic intervals to let a con
tract for this patented monopoly-controlled
road surface.
Two years ago The Bee supported a vigorous
pnd successful campaign against the use of
bitulithic on the Lincoln and O-L-D highways.
It advocated brick as the only hard surface thor
oughly tested and proved satisfactory on a main
traveled thoroughfare. It still believes that brick
should be given the preference until some other
material has been tested sufficiently to prove,
beyong any question, that it will outlast brick
and will cost less for maintenance. That has
not yet been done.
It may be wisdom to lay a test piece of
bitulithic pavement in Douglas county at this
time, as the county board proposes. It certainly
will not be wisdom) to use this surface on the
Lincoln highway or the O-L-D. These jobs
should be continued as brick paved roads. The
cost is too great and the damage resulting from
a wrecked pavement in the course of a few years
is too much to take a chance.
"Broken the Back of Famine."
. A message that' must give some satisfaction
to all Americans comes from the head of the
American relief work in Russia. It is that food
from this country has broken the back of the
worst famine in the world's history. Contribu
tions of cash and kind have provided the means
to save lives to a number no one will ever know,
but running into the millions. Walter Lyrtan
Brown, 'European director of the American re
lief for Russia, says we are now feeding four
times as many people as the American forces
in Europe at their peak. This means practically
10,000,000 daily get food from the store provided
by our generosity.
Until another crop can be harvested this will
have to be kept tip. Seed has been provided,
and tools and horses for working the ground
will be furnished, to the end that dire distress
caused by hunger will be banished again from
one of the most fertile regions in all the world.
Xo more damning indictment of bolshevism
could be drawn than is afforded by the exper
ience of the last year.alt is true that the Soviets
im not bt held responsible for h drouth, but
they are responsible ior the fact that there
no resert of foodstuff in Russia, in pit of
the reports that Here lent out of the lnimtne
stores of wheat, oats and other eatable.
Agriculture, like mining, transportation and
til other industry save speech-making, broke
down under the mlnfttratiant of the boUhevittt,
They could get along without coal, without the
railroad, and without a lot of other thing, but
they could not do without food. It is lively the
lesson of the lal year hat taught even the most
devoted of communists that someone mutt work,
or all will go hungry.
Human Nature and Progreii.
L'uter right, the social engineer. Center
stage; ttatrtmen in earnest conversation with a
fentleman who is explaining that human nature
ran not be changed, Lord Morley has charae
terijed him thus:
With hit inexhaustible patience of abuses
that only torment othert; hit apologetic
word i for beliefs that may not be so pre
ritely true as one might wish, and institu
tions that are not altogether to youthful
as tome might think poitihle; hit cordiality
toward progresi and improvement in a gen
eral way. and hit coldneit or antipathy to
each progressive proposal in particular;
hit pigmy hope that life wilt one day be
come somewhat better, punily shivering by
the tide of hit gigantic conviction that it
might well be infinitely worse.
For whatever wrongt exist he offers the ex
cute rif "human nature." The tocial engineer
grapplet with thit venerable theory at once. To
him human nature teems ttill as plastic to the
skilled touch as in the earliest days of man.
John Dewey, author of "Human Nature in
Conduct," expresses the newer and more
hopeful view of an advancing civilization thus:
The wholesale human sacrifices at Feru
and the tenderness of St Francis, the
cruelties of pirates and the philanthropies
of Howard, the practice of Suttee and the
cult of the Virgin, the war and peace dances
of the Comauchei, and the parliamentary
institutions of the British, the communism
of the South Sea Islanders and the proprie
tary thrift of the Yankee, the magic of the
medicine man and the experiments of a
chemist in his laboratory, the non-resistence
of Chinese and the aggressive militarism
of an imperial Prussia, monarchy by divine
right and government by the people; the
countless diversity of habits suggested by
such a rambling list springs from practically
the same capital stock of native instincts.
The social engineer holds that these are
truly the products of human nature, but that
the underlying impulses and instincts which
represent human nature are things quite apart.
The very diversity of human behavior is taken
to indicate the possibility of molding it into
more beautiful and worthy forms. This is the
scientific view today. The burden of disprov
ing it rests heavily on the timorous ones who
are assuring our statesmen that nothing can be
altered.
Inquiries on Third Party
State Editori Do Not Much
Mourn Itt Sudden Demise.
Ban on Immigration.
By adopting the house resolution which ex
tends the operation of the present immigration
law, the senate has assumed the position that
more time is needed to study the situation.
The resolution was amended to set the date
forward two years instead of one as provided
by the house. A sentiment in favor of restrict
ing immigration has gathered force since 1914,
and is now general throughout the country. It
does not rest on the old "know nothing" preju
dice against foreigners, but on , an a'wakened
appreciation of certain domestic problems that
must be given due attention. One of these is to
determine J:o what extent the melting-pot has
c!one its work; another is to readjust the regu-'
lations surrounding naturalization, to .'give to
American citizenship a higher value.
These purposes will not be settled pff-hand.
Until conditions are tranquilized in Europe the
United States is threatened by a flood of un
desirables. Existing laws permit the ' entrance
of a specified number of aliens each month, so
that the door is not. entirely closed.; Closer
watch here and abroad will keep out many who
are not wanted, and the limit on the, number
admitted will give a chance to adjust relations
with the '11,000,000 odd aliens who are now in
the country. .
The Bee docs not believe it fair or just to
shut the gates entirely; this country owes too
much of its greatness to the sturdy 'men and
women who came here from Europe,, bringing
their energy and thrifty habits, and by their
industry made an empire out of a wilderness.
We still have room in America, ' but we
should not invite the unfit. Outside of Russia,
Europe is as free today as is the United States,
and needs the labor of every efficient man and
woman. But this does not mean that our land
should be made the dumping ground for the in
effectual who are not wanted at home. How
to effectively and justly deal with this problem
i$ before1 congress' and the answer is not an
easy one. ,
Can anyone explain why in this enlightened
day and age the people should put, new limits
on their own powers? Consider the action of
congress in providing that government radio
plants will be permitted to handle press and,
commercial messages only up to 1925. .;;
Among the democrats who are not in full ac
cord with James M. Cox is Senator Atlee Pome
re ne. This other Ohioan is supporting the four
power treaties, and incidentally has his eye on the
presidential nomination.
Should it be necessary for Will Hays, as
emperor of filmdom, to bar Fatty? If the movie
goers so desire, they can speedily put the
buckle on Arbuckle.
The Lincoln student who stole the state
sheriff's automobile seems to have lacked com
mon sense, no matter how well educated he was.
Speaking of appropriate gifts, what could the
blind woman who received the gift of a diamond
bracelet from the queen of Italy say?
When everybody in the United States is
well fed, clothed and housed, will be time enough
to get worked up about world markets.
Putting pants on the Filipinos may interest
some folks, but we can think of a lot of other
things that might be done first.

here, with very few farmers included. They
should have little influence at the coming elec

of the republicans.

A. F. Buechler The nrocretsive party has
failed to draw materially from the major par
ties because of the lear of radical action, but
it would be a hazard to estimate which plan
will, under the circumstances, most effectively
advance safely progressive ideas, the balance of
power or the strictly separate party plan.
The Hasting Tribune.
Adam Br cede The demand for a third polit
ical party in Nebraska had no trouble in crystal
izmg and producing the real goods, but now
that it is here nobody seems to know just what
to do with it. In truth, there appears to be
a general desire to do it good and hard. The
Bees recent editorial on this subject brouaht
out many points ot general interest, all of which
are important, it true.

Clark ferkins I he fate of the new nartv
indicates clearly conditions do not vet Justify
departure ironi tne ancient line ot cleavage be
tween republicanism and democracy. All such
movements during the past half century have
been camouflaged to help the democrats, who
are the natural beneficiaries of radicalism. The

est government, with full measure of individual
freedom and responsibility, remains the sheet
anchor of the nation.
Bloomingtcm Advocate,
H. M. Crane Progressive party, like all
other new parties, will be short lived. Its lead
ers will swamp it by double dealing to benefit
politicians of old parties, as has already been
attempted. As conditions improve the unrest
of the people will be removed and draw away
interest from the new party movement. Its
leaders do not inspire confidence.
Blair Pilot
Don C. VanDeusen My opinion of the third
party is that if the progressives and democrats
can unite on such a high-class man as Judge
Wray for senator and a real dirt farmer like
J. N. Norton for governor the republicans will
have to go some to deteat them and possibly
the balance of the fusion ticket provided the
same high-class men are named thereon.
Crete Viderte.
The entry of the third nartv into the nolitiral
field this year cannot be viewed with alarm
by any except the democrat party. While the
country is in a turmoil after the great world
war, the present republican administration is
turning chaos into systematic organization and
doing more for the people than could have been
anticipated by the most sanguine republicans.
The national republican efficiency must natural
ly reflect itself down through the state govern
ment. This is an opportune time for new par
ties to arise, but the third party in Nebraska
assures the republican nominees at the pri
maries, election at the polls in November. The
new party is not going to raise the price of
the farmer's produce, nor is the new party going
to lower taxes with any great swoop.
McCook Gazette.
If. D. Strunk The third party movement in
Nebraska is not considered seriously in Red
Willow county. In my opinion this is no time
for experimenting, either in politics or business,
but rather- a period when every citizen should
sit quietly in the boat and lend every assistance
to our executives at the helm that they may
steer the good old ship of state safely over the
rocks.

A. B. Wood Third party movement has gone
the way of its predecessors. Sincere members
will now realize the real purpose of its self
constituted leaders to conduct a fusion sideshow

never more than a false alarm, exalted by his
sob ability to preach calamity.
The Leigh World.
Charles R. Kuble The third party situation
has reached a point where the small coterie of
politicians, to which the party rs practically
confined, are committing political suicide.
Hardly a Crime
According to a dispatch from Manila, some
Americans are very much wrought up over a
cartoon printed in the organ of the Philippine
national party. As described, the picture shows
a big bully labelled "Wood," stabbing a female
Filipino figure labelled P. I. Autonomy,
through the heart with a big dagger labelled
Veto Power. The cartoon bears no caption.
and the artist's name is not signed. The picture
is considered libelous by American legal authori
ties, says the dispatch, by some is considered
even seditious, and "adequate corrective action,"
whatever that may be, is suggested.
At this distance it would seem as though
those Americans in the Philippines are taking
themselves too seriously. Are they so far from
home that they have forgotten the American
method of lampooning by cartoon persons who
figure in our official life? Does it not appeal to
them that the Filipinos have merely imitated, in
their way, methods which Americans at home
have found so amusing and at times so effective.

medical treatment of consumption
may become a loat art.
I have before me an excellent new
hook on Domiciliary Treatment of
Tuberculosis, written by Walters,
and intended especially for them.
However, there are chaptera auch
aa thoaa on home conditions, rest
treatment, ventilation and health,
open air treatment, cleanliness, pre
cautions against infection and food
and dietetic which patients ahould
read with advantage.
The medical treatment ot con
sumption in the home will never be
success on the basis of "call on
summons." In addition to examin
ing and prescribing for hla patient,
the doctor must know how he lives,
how he fa surrounded, what he eats,
how he rests, what exercises he
takes. He must know that hla direc
tions aa to habits are carried out.
To give tuberculin or iodine periodi
cally la not enough. -
The physician must learn to give
detailed directions as to rest, work,
fresh air, food. Glittering generali
ties do not get anywhere in the treat
ment of consumption. Aa the Boa
ton M. & S. Journal - says: 'A five
minute walk on a slippery dav In
winter Is more taxing than a 16-mln-ute
walk in the late spring, and over
exposure to cold may harm.
As Dr. Stewart says, the man who
knows Just how to prescribe work
is the one who knows best how to
treat consumDtion.
If his patient will not buv one of
two manuals on the subject of con
sumption, hff will do well to lend
such books to him. and to insist upon
their being studied.
I am not advising the home treat
ment of consumDtion if it enn hn
avoided.
Perhaps some day we will come to
this plan: Every consumptive will
be required to spend a short time In
a sanitarium soon after diagnosis is
made, but after a brief spell he will
bo required to vacate the bed, for an
other case.
If he runs fever while at home and
rest treatment does not bring it
down, he may return to the sani
tarium for absolute rest. Dr. Ger
ald Webb showed that absolute rest
to an affected lung brought about by
sand bags and nitrogen injection, as
J. C Murphy and Norman Bridge
advocated, cured where partial rest
failed.
The emergency of whatever kind
having been met, the patient returns
home for further home treatment.

No reader .they know better.
But thirst for omce ana plans to
train It and facts set so mussed up
with them that nothing counts, only
such as will help county votes. Now
the next big Increase of the taxes
comes from this big 60-50 road
contract, and. by the way. who waa
in control of state affairs when that
ileal was made? Then the pictures
referred to in this article are as mis
leading as the stato contracts, for
some are given in small cities that
have gone almost their limit in
bonding themselves for paving and
fine school buildings, and costly
courthouses and community build
ings, which they alone have done, and
now for the senator or anyone eise
to try and blame that on the state
is Just common Third ward heelers'
tactics.
But the first and biggest asset they
ave are those who know better, but
like one of their editors 30 years
ago said when taken to task for mis
quotations of the Congressional
Record, after having been corrected
once he said: "Vou follows don t un
dcrstand getting the uncertain vote.
and I know that not 1 in 600 of
my readers will ever see the Congres
sional Record." Now, Mr. Editor,
here is your tip, not many of them
will aae your show up. So there you
are.
But it such stuff could be put in
show-windows of empty buildings
where they could be read but not
disturbed, and then the facts, when
It is anything that is of record, and

John Henry Wants to Know.
Omaha, April 12.-To the Editor
of The Bee: Your editorial on "Party
Desertion" is to the point .and how
truly this illustrates the old saying,
that politics makes strange bedfel
lows, for if this' Mullen, Bryan and
Edmlsten combination Is not a whole
circuit Itself, then we will have to go
Into the Jungle of South Africa to
find one. The elephant, the donkey
and the hermaphrodite ought to sat
isfy the curiosity and lovers of the
ancient kingdom.
I now take my hat off to the all
wise editor of the Worlcl-Herald, his
comparing the third party to Dol
drums, It was a master stroke. Per
haps he was wise to the deal, when
he wrote the editorial. There Is a
question, however, that the Herald
editor might be able to answer,
how can Norton-swallow all the pro
gessive party, when he was in Grand
Island, when the progressive conven
tion was In session, and refused to
attend that convention ? Was he not
afraid then that he might be con
taminated with the bunch that he is
now ready to swallow. '
There is- another nigger in the
woodpile. How djes Sorensen get
remunerated for repairing demo
cratic fences, unless if Howell Is
nominated on 'the republican ticket;
Wray will capitulate to Howell as he
did to Norton on the democratic
ticket. Suppose Howell and Wray
are both defeated at the primaries
where will Sorensen put his eggs
to hatch? Hitchcock might buy the
eggs, hatch them in his own incu
bator, which would make them full
fledged democrats.
This is certainly a sweet bunch
to tie too. Where will the honest
reformers of Nebraska go to find
what they want? If this bunch of
Doldrums are on the trade now,
what good would they be as pro
gressives if elected? Was it not
fortunate for all concerned that they
showed their hands before election.
Are there no other men in Nebraska
that are honest to God reformers?
When we thought Wray waa with
us, we cast 90,000 votes for him,
without a party; and we can double
that vote this year, for a man that
has Just a little backbone.
